Hey guys, just before the episode starts, we just wanted to say that in this episode,
this week, there's another edition of Gaslighting Jenna.
You know we love to mess with our head, poor thing.
In the nicest way.
She joins us every week on the show as our third wheel and we like to gaslight her occasionally.
It's been a while, but today we've got the help of Blake Pavey, TikTok legend himself.
He's so funny, I do like him.
I do love Blake.
He's the best.
And he's going to help us out because he's going to do an American accent.
Yeah.
You guys know how we often allude to the fact that Jenna perhaps disgraced herself.
Yes.
While her and I were on our Contiki trip in 2017.
We often make jokes alluding to the fact that she was a bit of a whore.
Yeah.
It's like myth for this show.
Everyone knows about Jenna's Contiki whore days.
But she does not let us go into detail about her Contiki whore days.
So today what we've done is we've organised an instant interview and she's going to think that it's with one of her former Contiki lovers.
That you've tracked down.
Yes, and she'll be believable because I've fed Blake all
these lines to say, all these things that
only that guy would know.
So she's going to think, God, it's actually him.
It must be. Yeah, because you'll have references
that only those two would know about. Yeah.
I've given him, like, you know, the name of the
place we stayed at, the name of our
Contiki tour guide, like all these things
that's going to make Jenna think, holy fuck,
this is the guy.
Yeah.
This is one of thousands of men that I plowed through in Europe.
She has no idea.
She's going to freak out because she hates us bringing it up.
So we will gaslight Jenna momentarily.
Enjoy the show.
When are we doing it?
Is it after the two?
Is it just me?
Then there'll be some reviews and then we'll jump in.
All right.
So listen out.
That's when we're going to be gaslighting Jenna.
She's not in the room right now.
No, she's not in the room.
She's in the bathroom urinating,
probably looking at photos of her contiki fucks.
Little does she know, she's about to be reunited with them.
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 Pommel North Games
gold in 1990 for his
performance on the Pommel horse.
India. Hey Marcus,
grow up. Brace yourself
for observations you
didn't ask for. You are
a cheap tramp
and a filthy liar.
This is Is It
Just Me?
hosted by a couple of Mitches.
Do you reckon we should include Jenna's name in the opener?
How about a compromise?
We'll say her name, but it's said in Simlish.
Brayley!
Drop a newbie.
Perfect.
Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs.
Oh, hi, everyone. Hello, guys.
It's our second last show of 2020 and our second last show of season two.
Isn't that crazy?
Wrapping up season two, arguably the best season of every show.
I know.
It feels like a weird number to end on, episode 53, but I realised we ended season one on
episode 35, so we're just flipping the numbers.
Oh yeah.
53, 35, you know what I'm saying?
If it makes you sleep at night, that makes sense, I guess. And also, oh yes, groundskeeper Jenna, our third wheel. As always, welcome flipping the numbers. Oh, yeah. 53, 35, you know what I'm saying? Never makes you sleep at night. That makes sense, I guess.
And also, oh, yes, Groundskeeper Jen, our third wheel.
Hi.
As always, welcome to the show.
Glistening, in a great mood.
Yep, I'm here.
Now, Mitch, for once you can say it's a big show today
and it's actually quite accurate because we've jam-packed this one.
We've realised that there's only two episodes left of the year
and we're like, oh, shit, we've got all these ideas,
we've got to get them done.
Yeah, actually, it's very big.
So much so that I don't even know where to start.
Where should we start?
Well, we've got another mispronunciation.
Oh, my God.
You haven't heard this.
I have not.
Everyone else in the world has.
It's the Nigella Lawson one that went viral last week.
I love Nigella.
Mitch banned me from listening to it because he wanted to bring it up
on the show.
So every time I've seen it in my feed, I've had to scroll past.
But we've just become the home of mispronunciations because so many people tagged us.
I'm so glad that when people think mispronunciations, they think couple of Mitches.
Exactly.
And we couldn't not talk about it.
And we had so many people message it to the Instagram account.
I'm just like, fuck off.
You'll hear it in the next ep.
Well, if you guys haven't heard it, you'll hear it with me later on in the show.
Yeah, fantastic.
Also, another instant interview. We'll be it with me later on in the show. Yeah, fantastic. Also, another instant interview.
We'll be bringing a surprise guest
on you, Jenna.
Our third wheel. You're the one
that's got to wing this today. A total
mystery guest. Now, if it's your first
time hearing instant interview, essentially
it's an interview that we've set up
that normally Mitch
goes into without any knowledge, any
prep, any info on the celebrity that he's talking to.
You're trying to teach me to be more like you, the king of winging it.
Just laugh and clap.
And that takes about six seconds.
Literally, ask me a hard question that I won't know the answer to
and I'll make one up.
And I'll fill it with a laugh and a clap.
Ready?
Who was the second man on the moon?
Well, after Buzz Aldrin.
No, he was second.
Neil Armstrong was first.
Oh, there you can see I got it.
That was good, though.
That was very good.
I don't think that tactic works at all.
That was just off.
No, you killed time.
You seemed insane.
Okay, go, go.
Do it more subtly.
Oh, is that the point?
You killed time?
Yeah.
While you think of the answer.
I'm not actually laughing and clapping.
That's a involuntary function that my body is doing.
Ask me something else.
What other questions can we ask?
Something that I want.
The population to Bogangate.
What's the population of my hometown, Bogangate?
It's going to be at least over 1,000.
Well, it's not.
You got that wrong.
The laugh didn't help you there anyway.
Sorry, that's a weird tip to give.
Well, Jenna, don't do the clap in life.
Although, how awkward would it be from Jenna?
Jenna's claps are so soft.
No, they wouldn't register as a clap.
Can I try?
Yeah, go.
Ready?
So good to be here with you.
Jesus.
Yes, it is.
It's like you're auditioning for the role of the Joker in a local production.
How are you feeling, Jenna?
Are you nervous?
Oh, I don't want to do it.
It's all right.
It's fine.
I felt the same way.
I was nervous too when I did mine.
I've done a few now.
Yeah.
But you end up swimming more than sinking, I think.
Is it someone really famous?
No, we're not going to give you any clues.
Oh, I'm so nervous.
You'll be fine.
Just be your natural self and it will be awkward.
We'll do that later in the show, all right, Jenna?
Also, Talk Back Tings, everyone's favourite segment of ours,
where we play bits of gold. We're here on
Talkback Radio. I've played a few
things from John Laws before
on the show, right? But today you're going to hear
a whole new side of him.
I've only really shown you the cranky
bastard side of John Laws, which I love.
But today, yeah, it's a little
bit different. My sister actually, she was
at home in Bougainvillea, our parents' place, and she
messaged me this. She heard it on the radio and said that she was crying when
she heard it.
Oh, no. Good radio does that.
It's a very different side to John Laws. We'll do that later in the show.
All right, Talk Back Tings coming up. Let's start with the idjams. They're the basis of
the show. It's what really got this whole thing started, right? It's something we've
noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's.
Why don't you dive in and start the show?
I will.
Let's do this.
Is it just me or?
Do you always forget where you parked your car?
No, I'm actually pretty good.
I'm not going to lie.
Sorry, I think it's just you.
Jenna can't drive, so you can't relate.
No, I can't relate.
Where do you park your scooter? I don't know. No, but think it's just you. Jenna can't drive, so you can't relate. Where do you park your scooter?
I don't know.
No, but if you're getting a lift with someone, Jenna,
do you remember where they parked?
Like, oh, we're on the green level and all that shit.
I don't even remember how their car looks.
Oh, wow, that's bad.
So you're on the same level as me.
Well, I now have a method of finding my car
because for some reason I just am incapable of remembering where I put it. Right if you lost your car before like you just have been looking for it plenty of times
uh just completely forgotten and it's just too hard for me to switch my brain on remember where
I parked it so my method you know how some car keys when you lock the car it makes this noise
you know how it beeps oh yeah mine doesn't do it but I have had cars that do oh well this this
hack was no good for you then no because it doesn't just do that when you press the lock button? Mine doesn't do it, but I have had cars that do. Oh, well, this hack was no good for you then.
No.
Because it doesn't just do that when you lock the car,
when you're standing alongside it.
Turns out that function, the beeping when you press the lock,
that works when you're quite far away from the car.
In fact, if I'm in one of those giant shopping centre car parks
that's multiple levels, even if I'm on the wrong floor and there's like multiple barriers
and layers of concrete between me and my car,
if I press the lock button and then I just follow the sound of the car.
Really?
Even through the concrete?
Yeah, I can hear it.
So it might be like if it's really close or you could even get like a
quiet baby one. Sometimes if it's many, many floors above even get like a Oh yeah. Like a real quiet baby one.
Sometimes if it's many many floors
above me I won't even hear it. I'll just kind of
hear it echoing off the apartment buildings near
the shop because the sound travels
out. That's so cool.
There it is. So that's how it works. So you sort of just
have to point your ear in the direction you hear it then you
run to the car. Pretty much. In
fact I did a little example the other day.
I'm like oh I'm going to whip my phone out.
I couldn't remember where I parked.
And so this is me doing a bit of a hide and seek,
following the sound of the beats to locate my little Astra.
Here it is.
Where have I put this fucking thing?
Oh, I can hear it in the distance.
Okay.
Right, we're getting closer.
Oh, down to the left.
Check in again. Yep, we're getting close. It's over here. Still haven't laid eyes on it yet.
Oh.
There it is.
Bye, honey.
I'm back.
Oh, my God, it worked.
Now, I should point out that on that occasion,
and most occasions, by the time I find the car,
everyone around them is panicking, going,
what the fuck's going on? It's a very method but it works for me yeah that'd be very
obnoxious also you just pointing your hand out with your buzzer walking through the parking lot
where are you astrodome filming i'll get 10k from tiktok for this you look like a lunatic
it was pretty bad actually it's very selfish when i used to live in newtown very busy area
it's kind of hard to find
street parking i would often end up two blocks away from my house and so i had no hope of
remembering where i parked and i would wake up at my usual work time of 3 45 and just walk around
beeping the horn who cares if people are asleep in the comfort of their homes i would just beep
the horn obnoxiously going where is is it? I need my Astra.
Before the sun has even gone up and everyone's still asleep,
I'm just beeping that bitch.
That's the worst.
What the hell was that?
That was more doing the car horn.
It sounded more like a goat bleating.
Yeah, very off actually now that I play the audio.
I'm sorry.
You know what I've done once?
I have gone to an event. I think it was a movie premiere or something that I play the audio. I'm sorry. You know what I've done once? I have gone to an event.
I think it was a movie premiere or something that I got through Kiss.
And I drove my car to the CBD, to George Street Cinemas.
And this was before I knew Hayden.
I was single.
I'm going to go to the movie, enjoy it, get free food
because you get heaps of free food, drinks,
there's all finger sandwiches, beautiful.
And I had the full meal and I had a couple drinks.
And then this was before the time I did my night show
so I didn't have to wake up early. So I go finish, watch the movie, and then this was before the time I did my night show so I didn't have to like wake up early.
So I go finish, watch the movie and then I get an Uber home and get home and go, where
are my keys?
Get my keys out and go, where's my car?
So you called an Uber home for getting your keys out.
And I drove there.
Oh no.
I was like, oh that's right, to get an Uber back to the venue and then drive my car home
back when I lived in Cronulla.
Yeah, that's pretty much my method of getting home from every night out ever.
I just like, that's how I got home from the work Christmas party a couple of weeks ago.
Left the car, God knows where.
And then just called an Uber home when I was drunk and then I went and fed.
That was my next day's task.
That was my Saturday.
Finding the car.
That'd be hard through the CBD doing this when you've got the honking to the buses and
the people and the homeless and the where is it?
God, I think that's just you.
I think you might be the only person to do that.
If everyone in the world did it, there'd be chaos on the streets.
Yeah, it would.
It'd work for me.
All right.
Are we ready for my agent?
Absolutely.
What have you got?
Let's go.
Is it just me or?
Do you think it's time we let go of Christmas cards?
Oh.
As in like you write a bunch and you deliver them to your friends
or colleagues or something?
Yeah, I vividly remember the days where it would be an event
where Mum would go,
we've got to go to Kmart before the Christmas rush
and get the Christmas cards.
And then we've got to get the little mini candy canes
and then we've got to sit down.
It was like it was child labour.
She'd sit at the kitchen table and she'd write the cards to joanne and lee thank you for a great year some in joke some funny
reference oh remember last year when you dropped the leg ham and then she would lick it seal it
pass it to me and i would get a little mini candy cane sticky tape it to the back and then i pass
it to my sister rachel who'd get like a ho, ho, ho stamp, stamp it,
and then Becky would put the name and address, put the stamp on,
and we'd put it in a pile.
And I'm not joking, there was upwards of 100 Christmas cards.
Bloody hell.
And Mum messaged me this year.
She goes, oh, what do you think we should,
because we normally do a family photo,
what photo should we use for the Christmas card?
Oh, no.
I was like, Mum.
Does she hand deliver the cards or mail them out?
She posts them out.
This is costing something.
Bloody hell.
I personally have let go of them because I do recall I used to do it in high school and
I used to just get really pedantic about not writing the same phrase twice because I was
paranoid that my friends would compare them and be like, oh, he wrote best wishes in the
same spot.
He wrote, we've had a great year together, all this stuff.
I tried to alter the phrasing in every one and it just did my head in.
And also, no one really appreciated it that much.
So I'm not into it.
Jenna, I feel like you'd be a Christmas card giver and receiver.
You know, I was back in the day.
Back when mailing was invented, yes.
Yes.
She used to do Christmas Morse code.
Yes.
What's so funny?
In one of her past lives. That was a memorable moment of my life. Sure it was. You did Christmas carrier pigeons. Yes. What's so funny? In one of her past lives.
That was a memorable moment of my life.
Sure was.
You did Christmas carrier pigeons.
Yes.
You put little wreaths on their head.
Oh, I loved my pigeon, Marley.
So Christmas cards.
Anyway, back to Christmas cards.
At this stage of my life, no.
Yeah, no.
I'm not into it either.
Yeah, well, you know who he is?
And guess who?
It's gone viral.
Who? Your pal, Taylor Swift.
Oh, really?
She's doing the Christmas card thing?
She sends a Christmas card out.
It's the most hideous fucking thing I've ever seen in my life.
I'm sorry, but folklore might be the vibe,
but she's put her cats in little clothes
and she's sending this out to her celeb friends.
Have a look.
And then swipe, you can see what she's written.
I'm surprised.
It's just a template.
Put some effort into it. See, that's what's just a template. Put some effort into it.
See, that's what I mean.
Yeah.
Put some effort into it.
I feel like that's how people feel about cars.
I agree.
I agree.
I'm very surprised that her cat's let her dress them up.
Like, my cat would never.
Isabella would maul me to death if I tried to put a scarf and a little sand hat on her.
Ibrahim would bite a scratch made of pieces, too, if I went near her with a little hat.
Wishing you a season of moments so wonderful they become folklore.
Oh, it's a plug for the album.
Of course it is.
Love Taylor Swift signature.
I mean, I'd still be thrilled if I received one.
Who's getting those?
I get it.
It's just a bit generic.
I've got to tell you, with cards, if I'm writing one,
I write a fucking dope card, man.
Like, I go all out.
Really?
I only write them if I actually feel like I want to, you know to someone you know actions speak louder than words prove to someone that they mean
something the last card i wrote would have been to our boss rosie when she went on maternity leave
and i was like oh you've been a wonderful boss blah blah blah all that stuff and i'm like it
just loses its meaning if you're writing generic card after generic card and licking and fucking
candy cane like do you even know half the people you're sending these to?
No, I hate cards.
And my mum cries.
My mum cried last Mother's Day because I didn't get her a card.
And Hayden went, shit, you really should have got your mum a card.
She cried.
She still brings it up to this day.
But I hate it.
I write the same thing.
What do you write on a card for Mother's Day?
Happy Mother's Day.
I love you.
You speak from the heart.
But what?
Every year?
My heart doesn't have that many words to say.
It's busy beating.
She only wants it once a year.
Is that too much?
No, because she wants it for her birthday, then she wants one for Easter,
and she wants one for Christmas.
Cards constantly.
You know what you should do?
Because you act like my heart doesn't have that many words to say.
It does.
We've learned that you never shut up.
You should just, like, record it as a voice message
or pretend that you're doing a voice,
a talk break for your mum and then just write it down.
Like just say, you speak from the heart, you word vomit and then you just write it down later.
Forward announce the gifts.
What would you do if you were doing a Merry Christmas to your mother?
Okay.
I'd say, dear mum.
Or you should get in bed and be like, Mitch till midnight.
Yeah, great, great, great.
Yeah, funny.
Mitch till midnight. Hands in the air, great, great, great. Yeah, funny. Mitch to Midnight.
Hands in the air.
Put your hands in the air.
Kiss night.
Mum, Merry Christmas coming up.
The best gift in 2020.
It is going to blow your mind.
You're going to love it.
And something that Nan can use too.
I love you.
I want you to know that I appreciate you and I care for you.
And we shouldn't be sharing these thoughts just at Christmas.
I should do it 365 every day
of the year i love you thank you for being my mom and enjoy the present right now oasis
fresh to the christmas playlist merry christmas cheery family love mitch there you go you found
the word that was beautiful you don't do this for every occasion oh what if she were to pass away
and i had to do that at the funeral just like roll on Voxpro and just play that audio at the funeral.
Save doing the eulogy later.
Is it just me?
Skilton Flats' number one comedy podcast for Virgos who are that kind of Virgo.
Yes, you can leave us a review.
Five stars, if you please, on the iHeartRadio app.
We got JessDott, 69.
Her review's being read out.
So she gets a free Red Rooster voucher.
We'll send that out, Jess.
Congrats, Jess.
Congratulations.
She says, I love this podcast.
I recently found it and binged all the episodes over about two weeks.
It makes my time working all day go so quickly.
I love you guys.
Winky face.
Oh, thank you, Jess.
Enjoy, Jess.
We'll send out the voucher. Happy binging.
Another one. We have Sammy Chef. She says,
it's my absolute favourite podcast. I listen to the
podcast the second I can. I look forward
to it weekly and enjoy the duo of Mitch's
plus Jenna. That'd be a trio, Sammy.
I have even re-listened to this podcast
in the last few weeks and it's just amazing.
The second time around. Highly recommend. Enjoy
the Red Rooster. Yay!
Enjoy the feed.
Now, you know, if there's one thing we love here on Is It Just Me?
Yeah.
It's a good mispronunciation.
Oh, don't we ever.
We love kicking people while they're down, particularly each other.
There's been a few celeb ones.
And today it's Nigella Lawson.
Yes.
Last week she went viral for mispronouncing a certain word and you, Mitchell, you've banned me from listening to it.
It's been all over my news feed but I'm not allowed to click on it.
I need to admit this.
I found this well before anyone else had found it
because I'm up until midnight doing the Kiss show.
So I found it the moment that it dropped, the moment it came out.
I saw it on Twitter and I messaged Mitch and said,
well, you're doing a mispronunciation.
This is the best yet.
He went, great.
I went, don't listen to it.
We'll do it on the show.
Yeah, in all fairness, I did hear it from you first.
Like, you were the first person that brought it to my attention.
So I was like, right.
Was I second?
Hours later, Jenna, you brought it up.
And then we got tagged so many times on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, everyone.
When they think mispronunciations, they think, is it just me, the podcast?
Normally an insult if someone were to say, whenever I think of mistakes, I think of your show.
But in this instance, we love it.
Are you guys ready?
Jenna has heard it.
But Mitch, this is your first time hearing Nigella's woeful, the worst we've ever done, mispronunciation.
Okay.
What word am I listening out for?
The final word.
Okay.
Now, she's obviously, it's a cooking show, right?
For those who don't know, we should say Nigella, very, very famous world over chef.
And she's quite sensual. You know her words words she uses a lot of alliteration she's quite
well traveled so she's a knowledgeable girl quite a wide vocabulary yeah and um i i don't know if
this was intentional or if it came out this way it's clearly a pre-recorded cooking show so she
could have just redone it but this is how she pronounced microwave i'm aiming for quite a solid mash at this stage
but i still need a bit of milk full fat which i've warmed in the micro wave
she wasn't even close she's warmed it in the micro wave
micro wave it's a double barrel isn't Micro-Wave. Micro-Wave.
It's a double barrel, isn't it? Micro-Wave.
I mean, micro's fucking wrong, Jelly.
Don't even start me on Wave.
Micro-Wave.
Can I hear it in the full context again?
I feel like maybe she was trying to be cheeky and she's like,
the micro-Wave.
Like, she said it wrong on purpose thinking it's funny.
You'd fucking hope so.
No, but wouldn't you say it like micro-wave or something?
Yeah, or micro-wave, not micro-wave.
Like, you know those people that think it's funny to call Target Tajay?
Yes.
Maybe she was doing that, or maybe she's just dumb as dog shit.
Let me listen.
I'm aiming for quite a solid mash at this stage,
but I still need a bit of milk, full fat,
which I've warmed in the micro-Wave.
I don't even know what to do with that.
Neither do I.
It's shocking.
And I haven't been this shocked since I saw that film,
12 Years of Slave.
That was the last time I was that shocked.
Okay, so you're focusing on the wave, Wave.
Wave, yeah, Wave, yeah.
It's cold in here.
Feels like a bite of Himalayan Carve.
I was babysitting my niece and nephew, Noah and Anna.
Yeah, beautiful.
And they were pestering me, nagging me,
constantly asking me to give them a Zoopa Doopa.
And I said, no, no, your mum doesn't like you to have too much sugar.
But they just kept nagging and nagging.
So eventually I thought, all right, I'll let you have a Zoopa Doopa if you're good. But if you misbehave, you can forget about it.
It's the story.
The story.
It's a good story.
It's a good story.
But did you end up like when that happened and they were a bit naughty,
you were obviously the first person to forgave them, right?
No, that would be forgave.
Forgave.
Forgave.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, in the end, I forgave them.
In the end, I forgave the children.
Oh, gosh.
But don't.
They're cute kids.
Don't.
Sorry.
Your sister will think you gave them a bad rap on the podcast.
That was simple.
That was just gave.
You know, I went through a harrowing breakup a few years ago.
I'm sorry to hear.
And I would try and put him out of my mind.
I'd be going out my day feeling fine and all it would take would be to walk
past someone in public and smell someone wearing his aftershave.
And it would remind me of him and I would just start crying.
You know, I ordered the AirPods.
The AirPods are probably the new ones.
It's such a process.
You go on the Apple store and you have to log in.
You go to Apple ID and the password's always different.
You're just going, what's my password?
And then I went, I'm going to get the Apple AirPods.
And then there's all these options you can choose.
There's all these customizations you can do.
And I order it and I finally pay.
And I go, this is great.
And then I go, oh, shit.
I completely forgot to engrave.
Engrave.
Yeah, you can engrave them.
Yeah, with your initials MC.
Do you want to know who my favourite soccer player is?
Who?
Darvade Beckham.
I've fucking run out.
Same.
But I've got to say, so far, this one is my fave.
Yeah, she's had some tough competition in the past, though.
You know, the stars that we've done before have really fave'd the way.
Jenna has none.
I know.
Go on, Jenna.
I'll just give you a wave.
Just using the word wave.
Yeah, that was fine.
Hold on.
That's just.
Micro wave. What's micro? Just using the word wave. Yeah, that was fine. Hold on, that's just... We have to just...
Micro-wave.
What's micro?
Genesis is really digging her own grave over there.
It's not even close, Nigella.
No, fucking darn.
Micro-wave.
Stupid.
Micro-wave.
Actually, I've got an idea.
Christmas sales are on.
Yeah. Should we call Bingley and ask if they stock? Micro-Wave. Actually, I've got an idea. Christmas sales are on. Yeah.
Should we call Bingley and ask if they stock?
Micro-Wave.
Get the number, Jenna!
Let's see if they go, yes, or if they go, sorry, what?
We'll see if it works.
I know I didn't voice this out loud, so it's my fault,
but I was thinking at the start of the show, I was like,
I really, really hope that we go a whole show without any prank calls.
We've just been doing a lot of them recently.
But go on.
We can cut it.
Far be it for me to get in your way.
It's Christmas shopping period anyway.
Everything's open.
Can I tell you what my favourite Britney Spears song is?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm a slobby for you.
You sound like a sin.
I'm a slobby. All right, JB, high five. Slave for you. You sound like a sim.
Slave.
All right, JB, high five.
I'll leave that for microwaves.
JB McCrory, how can I direct your call?
I'm just wondering if I can go to kitchen appliances,
see if you have um microwaves yeah one
second i've been transferred to the right department hey small matt speaking hello i'm
just wondering if you guys have a certain um microwave in stock yeah what microwave are you
after uh it's a brawl i got it up here bre Breville 40 watt microwave.
Which one, sorry?
How much is it?
Breville 129.
Breville microwave 129.
No.
Really? No, we don't have that one.
Have you looked on our website?
Yeah, I'm on the catalogue page.
On the catalogue page.
I can't see that one on our website.
It could have been told.
Are you looking at the catalog right now?
Yeah.
Do you have that?
There's like an S.
Do you know what the model number is?
Yeah, I can get it.
Let me have a look.
Or the SKU number as well, if you can see that.
Yeah.
I called last week and spoke to Adave.
I'm not too sure, sorry.
Oh, shit.
Well, he promised that he'd cut the price in Harvey.
I'm not too sure, sorry.
Sorry, tunnel.
Cut the price in Have.
I know, I got it wrong.
She was onto us.
You really didn't Sarvay that. No, I didn't.
I didn't.
All right.
Thank you, Nigel.
One of the best.
Microwave.
Fucking dumb.
A hundred percent.
All right, let's move on.
It's time for Instant Interview.
Jenna, are you ready?
No.
Well, I am.
We've even prepared a special open for it.
The podcast done gone wrong.
Oh my God.
Who?
Instant interview.
Yeah.
How this works, well, in the past, how it has worked is you, Mitchell,
have organised a random guest for me.
Yep.
And I have to interview them, completely wing it,
not even knowing who they are.
Yeah.
Which I hate because I'm the queen of research.
I like to be prepared.
I like to know what's happening.
Yeah, the prep king.
I love it.
I do on my night show.
They're like, you're interviewing, you know, Margaret Thatcher. I'm like, great, put me on right now and I'll have 100 questions. I just like to know what's happening. Yeah, the prep king. I love it. I do on my night show. They're like, you're interviewing, you know, Margaret Thatcher.
I'm like, great.
Put me on right now and I'll have 100 questions.
I just like to wing it.
You're good at, you know, thinking on your feet.
Yes.
Whereas I prefer to, you know, be prepared and research and stuff like that.
So that's really out of my comfort zone going in blind like that.
But fortunately today I'm not doing the instant interview and neither are you, Mitchell.
That's exactly right.
Instead, our trusty sidekick, groundskeeper Jenna,
you have a surprise guest that you will be interviewing today.
How are you feeling?
I'm so scared.
You have no idea.
Don't be scared.
You'd be a good interviewer.
You're good at chatting to people in the office.
Everyone loves you.
I'm so scared.
Oh, look at her.
She's sweating.
No, I went to the toilet before this.
Like a nervous wee?
Yeah.
See, I say that I'm out of my comfort zone doing these instant interviews.
Jenna's out of her comfort zone just getting out of bed half the time.
So, like, she's nervous, guys.
She's shitting bricks.
Yeah, Jenna gets scared to order a coffee from, you know, Jamaica Blue,
let alone interview someone on the fly.
Yeah.
Now, normally these things are, like, big celebrities, right?
Like, we've done Harry Jousey from the Netflix series.
Yeah, international people.
Yeah, or, like, you know, people that we know
or people that are in the sphere, celebrities that people love
and have known for quite a while.
Today we have got someone from your past.
We'll leave you to it.
Good luck, Jenna.
This is your instant interview.
Have fun.
Your guest is ready when you are.
Take it away.
Our marks are off, Mitch.
Just so you know.
Hi.
Hey, Jenna.
Oh, hi.
How are you?
I'm good.
I'm good.
How are you?
Yeah, I'm pretty good.
What have you been up to?
Look, not a whole heap recently, but do you recognise my voice at all?
Yeah, absolutely. I know who you are.
What have you been up to over the past two years?
Oh, Jesus. Not a lot. I've just been doing a lot of thinking
recently, but would you like to take a guess at where
we met? I think I know who you are.
Really?
Yeah, yeah. I think so.
You need me to give you like a
clue or something like that?
Did we work together? Is this
Lawrence?
It is not.
I'll give you a clue.
Okay.
It was in 2017.
Yes.
And it was not in Australia.
And Mitch was there as well.
Oh, yes.
Okay.
Any ideas?
Um...
No
Well, I tell you what
I, you know, this is a little bit embarrassing to say
I have certainly not forgotten about you
Okay, cool Um, so where are you living at the moment? not forgotten about you. Okay. Cool. So where
are you living at the moment? I'm currently living in Seattle.
Oh, okay. Yes, yes. Yep.
Any ideas yet? Yeah, I think I know who you are.
Shit, I did not expect it this early. Who do you think I am?
Sorry, just fixing my microphone.
I'm just going to say that at first I thought,
oh, this is another little clue.
At first I thought the tour guide Brit
was the most beautiful girl on tour,
but then you got on the bus.
Yep, okay.
Yeah, I know who you are.
Who am I?
You're from Contiki.
Well, well, well, Jenna.
It was a pretty wild night at the I Heart Roma party.
Oh, yes, yes.
We had to wear singlets and stuff.
I Heart Roma, whatever.
Look, I drank so much, so most of it's a bit of a blur to me,
but the end of the night was pretty memorable, I have to say that much.
Oh, God.
Cool.
Any ideas?
Do you think you know what my name is?
Sorry! Gaslighter Denier
Doing anything to get your ass farther
It's not really your former Contiki lover, Jenna.
It's a paid actor!
We know how much you don't want to actually talk about your Contiki roots,
so it's not actually them.
We would never track down the Contiki root
because he's out the front of your window at your house right now.
It's actually, you know that guy off TikTok, Blake Pavey?
Yeah.
I thought, okay, I need someone who's good with accents.
Blake, you're on.
Here he is.
Hi, Blake.
Welcome to the show.
G'day, Jedi.
How are you?
I'm so sorry.
Oh, my God.
It couldn't be more Aussie.
That's so cool.
Hello.
I'm so sorry. That's okay. Jenna's justie. That's so cool. Hello. I'm so sorry.
That's okay.
Jenna's just relieved that it's not him.
I love your TikTok.
Oh, thank you very much.
Thank God.
I feel bad.
I feel so bad.
Oh, you're sweet.
That was the worst moment of my life.
I had to script all the sleazy things to say because I knew that Blake just didn't have it in him.
It's too nice.
Very sweet.
I'm shaking.
At what point did it click for you, Jenna?
At the Roma party thing?
Yeah, the I Heart Roma party.
We don't talk about the I Heart Roma party, do we, anyway?
No.
We would never actually do it to you.
We would never.
Yes, you would.
No, we wouldn't.
I mean, we would.
We did try to track him down, but he might have passed away.
We couldn't find him.
You did nail the American accent, though, Blake.
I know a lot of your videos, people can check them out,
at Blake Pavey on TikTok.
I know that you've done a lot of skits that involve accents and stuff.
That's how I knew you were the man for the job.
Look at you go on TikTok.
Nearly 600K, a blue tick.
Well done.
Yeah, it's crazy.
I don't really know why, but, you, but I'll take it as it comes.
Your TikTok about coronavirus, all the countries sort of working out.
Very funny.
That was the first time I saw you.
You know that the chick that plays Sue on Glee, Jane Lynch, retweeted that.
You're kidding!
Oh my God!
Wow.
I don't know why you're attracting a gay and lesbian audience.
That's why you're on this podcast.
You've got Jane Lynch.
That's so funny.
And the weird thing is that he only just finished school this year, Blake.
What?
Oh, I hate that.
How did you go with it?
Was it stressful and was corona making it shit?
I cruised through all of high school just being a bit of a good boy,
but I sort of went off the rails in year 12,
so it was kind of just a bit of a cruisy year for me.
So, you know, the ATAR comes out like next week,
so I'll probably see how shit I did.
I wish we could have a next week.
I want to know the ATAR now.
We need to find out.
Is that something that you will reveal publicly
or you'll keep that to yourself?
Oh, yeah, I'm going live when I reveal it, when I get the text.
All the fans will know at the same time as I do.
On TikTok or Instagram?
I'm doing it on Instagram,
trying to draw a bit of attraction to the old gram page.
Right, great, all right.
I remember when I first saw his videos
and I didn't realise how young he was
and then he posted something on Instagram in his school uniform
and I was like, Jesus.
He's so young.
He's like, today at book week.
You're like, shit.
So what's the plan for next year?
I'm hoping to move to Melbourne next year.
I'm a country boy, and I absolutely hate it.
So I'm looking to get out of the country as soon as I can.
Where are you from again?
I'm from a place called Corowa in New South Wales. It's a little bit of a shithole, but
Melbourne seems like the
spot to be next year. You're preaching to the king of
country shitholes. Yeah, I'm telling
you, Blake, I was in the exact same
headspace when I was 18 and
I just finished school. I was like, get me out of this
shithole and then
give it around two years of city living
you'll start to get over it and you'll crave that
quietness of the country. There's just too many cars on the road.
It's too hard to park.
You'll end up missing it.
You always want one you can't have, I feel.
That's true.
Yeah, I'll see how I go.
I'll go for the two-year period and just, you know,
do every single drug I can.
Yeah, and you know what?
I think that's a great idea.
And also, if you haven't looked into Contiki's,
I think you should really look into it because, I mean,
Jenna has some great stories she can tell you off the cloud
about her Contiki experience.
Well, I'll give it a go then.
Yeah, give it a whirl.
Give it a whirl.
Well, great to have you on, mate.
You're fantastic.
We love your TikToks.
And please update us on your ATAR.
We'd love to find out.
I will.
I will do that.
Thanks so much, guys.
Don't encourage him too much, Mitch.
He's technically a rival of ours.
He started a podcast recently.
Oh, get fucked!
Sorry, Tom!
No, no, no!
He's gone.
Did you hang up on him?
He's gone.
Oh, I like him.
Well, it's Payday Pavey, the podcast.
Payday Pavey.
Give it a listen.
Give it a gaze.
Anyway.
Come on, this podcast.
A podcast?
Your own podcast?
That's bullshit.
If Manu doesn't go on My Kitchen Rules on MasterChef and go,
listen to My Kitchen Rules.
Stupid.
Now I'm mad.
Anyway, Jenna, you're being gaslit.
Why would you do that?
Because it's not real and we can all laugh at the end of it and go,
ha, ha, ha.
And it's just so easy.
I really want you to go back and listen to the people who have just heard it
and pump up the volume because you can hear Jenna's micro whimpers.
I'm going to put this video up too.
It's all in the facial expressions.
You didn't make a lot of noise, but she was like, fuck.
Yeah.
It's like she's just being caught out from having a bag of marijuana
in her backpack going through customs.
Sounds like a leader of puppies that have just been birthed.
All right.
Nearly time for us to get out of here, but let's do Talk Back Tings, shall we?
Talk Back Tings is where I bring you bits of gold that we find on Talk Back Radio.
It's a world of its own that our listeners are really missing out on some good stuff.
Oh, it really is.
And we've found some gems.
I mean, we even opened up a can of worms, the Lady Gaga conspiracy.
Did she call the thrott line?
That's right.
That was the most recent one.
I figured out that if you search Talkback Tings on the podcast app,
it just brings up all the ones we've done, so it's easy to find them.
So we've played John Laws a few times on Talkback Tings,
and I've really only ever showed you what a cranky bastard he can be.
Yeah, a lot of yelling, a lot of frustration from listeners.
And also I just love his insults because you know how I just think he's so eloquent? Yeah. cranky bastard he can be. Yeah, a lot of yelling. A lot of frustration on listeners.
And also, I just love his insults because you know how I just think he's so eloquent?
Yeah.
Like a weird part of me just really wants to be insulted by John Laws
because he's so good at them.
Yeah, it's kind of a turn on too.
It's kind of hot.
K for kill!
Anyway, this week I'm showing you a different side to John Laws.
In fact, my sister messaged me the other day.
She was back at mum and dad's place driving the tractor.
Oh, Jesus.
Listening to the radio.
And she goes, I'm in tears when she heard this piece of audio that I'm going to play
later.
It made her cry.
And when I eventually tracked down the audio, I've got to tell you, I did cry too.
You did?
I did.
Oh, she doesn't feel good.
Prepare yourself.
Talk about teens.
All right.
So today I want to introduce you to one of John's regular callers, Dale.
Yeah.
Now, Dale is in his 60s and he's living with an intellectual disability.
Yeah.
And he's been calling through to John every week for over 25 years.
That's how old I am.
That's my whole life.
That's older than me.
But everyone loves Dale, right?
Like all of John's listeners, they're familiar with him.
Yeah.
And he just completely uplifts the mood of the show.
And that happens with radio shows.
I've got usual callers that call my show every night and I love to hear from them.
Yeah, same deal.
And everyone starts becoming familiar with him.
He's like a piece of furniture on the show.
And he and John have formed this really beautiful friendship.
You can tell that John really, really cares for Dale after all these years.
Every Friday they check in with each other.
Really?
Yes, they do.
So Dale works with one of those disability support services,
you know, the ones that have activities and programs set up to support adults
with intellectual disabilities so they can work and have some independence
and dignity.
Well, last Friday Dale called through, like he always does,
with a bit of good news.
Now take a listen to how instantly John's mood changes.
OK, here we go.
I suggest that Victoria's Mr Pakula keep his mouth shut.
Tell me, who do I have here?
Dale.
I've got Dale.
Good morning, Dale.
I won an award, John.
You won an award?
Yeah, for working.
Wow, you won an award. Isn't that wonderful?
Yeah, my first time.
What was the award for?
For working.
You won an award for working. You must have been working very hard.
Busy.
Busy, busy, busy. And you won an award for being. You must have been working very hard. Busy. Busy, busy, busy.
And you won an award for being a good worker.
Yes.
Isn't that wonderful?
And now the Christmas party's coming up next on the 17th.
17th, is it?
Of December.
Yes, 17th of December.
I hope December.
Yes.
Okay, so you go, well, you've got a lot happening.
You've won an award and you've got your Christmas party coming up.
Yes.
Now tell me this.
What have you been doing?
Have you been going to bed and sleeping?
Midnight, yes.
In the middle of the night, but you haven't been walking around?
No.
I listen to my music.
When I go to sleep, I listen to good music.
Okay, so you listen to the music and the music helps put you to sleep?
Well, that's good.
Nothing wrong with that.
Nothing wrong with that at all.
So you're not walking around in the middle of the night?
Yeah, what did you buy her?
A nightie?
What a lovely present.
It was a lovely present.
What a lovely...
Aren't you a good brother?
You are a good brother.
Yeah, you are a good brother.
You're a good man.
Yes.
Good man.
A very generous man.
Yes.
John's right.
Yeah, John is right.
You bet.
Are you going to sing a song for me? Yeah, I'm going, you bet. Are you going to sing a song for me?
Yeah, I'm going to sing.
What are you going to sing?
I sing...
Would of the rent-a-nose reindeer
Have a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would then say it cross
Or of the other reindeer
You should never call me name
And then the late poor Rudolph
Joining in the rainy game
Then I saw the Christmas tree
Santa Claus is here
Rudolph, will you know someone
Once you show him myged my sleigh tonight
And now that I've been locked in
And the night is only three
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You shall not hear from me
Very good. The last note was terrific.
Very good. Very good, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
It's a classic old Christmas song.
You sang that very well.
That was very good.
Very good.
Very good.
All right, mate, well, I'd better go and earn a dollar or something. I saw Mama kissing Santa Claus
underneath the mistletoe that night.
He didn't see me tree.
I'm a tattletale and I'm a bee.
I fart and I got something from my paper basket.
And I remember, here's a sandacle.
Under it, I miss it, tell me why.
Wow.
Wow, that was a couple of high notes in there.
Yeah, very good.
Very good.
Santa Claus is still around.
I want to say hello to Santa.
Yeah, he's listening.
Yeah, it's Friday morning.
He listens Friday mornings, yeah.
You can say hello to Santa.
Hey, Santa.
Excuse me, Santa.
I want lots of presents for Christmas Day.
I want lots of music. I want lots of music.
You want lots of music.
Dale, you mustn't be greedy, mate.
You can't say, I want lots.
Just say, I'd love some presents on Christmas Day.
I'd love some presents for Christmas Day.
Yeah, that's a very nice way to do it.
You don't want to be greedy, do you?
No, no. You don't want to be greedy, do you? No, no.
Don't want to be greedy at all.
All right, my mate, I've got to go now.
You've got to go now?
Yep, got to go, got to strike a blow,
got to make a dollar or 50 cents at least, do my best.
Santa, I hope you had a merry Christmas.
I went out, I hope you had a merry Christmas.
Who are you talking to, Santa?
Yeah.
Santa's listening.
Yes, listening. Yeah, he listens.
So you tell, just don't say I want a lot of presents.
Just say I hope you remember me on Christmas Day, Santa.
I hope you remember me on Christmas Day, Santa.
That's the boy. That's a nice way to put it. And I'm sure that Santa will remember you.
He will remember you.
He will.
Don't you worry about it.
That's right.
All right, mate.
Well, I better go.
Strike a blow.
Earn a dollar.
Do something.
Yes, okay.
We'll talk to each other next week.
I'll talk to you next week.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye, John.
Bye, John.
Bye, Dale. Talk to you next week. Talk to Bye, John. Bye, John. Bye, Dale.
Talk to you next week.
Talk to you next week.
I'm the number one Dale supporter in the world. I will run his fan club until the day I die.
He's so sweet.
He's so sweet.
And that's your first time hearing him, right?
And I've never heard him before.
I want to hear more of him.
Well, I have got some more.
It's funny that you've connected with him so instantly
because I can't even remember when I first heard Dale,
but I remember it was always a case of my dad being like,
everyone, shh, Dale's on.
And we'd be like, oh, Dale's back.
Oh, cute.
Like he's been calling in every Friday, usually around 11.
And his life story has pretty much unfolded on the John Laws show.
So he used to live with his mum.
I believe she was his full-time carer for a long time.
So he was always telling stories about his mum.
And John was always, you know, how's mum, Dale?
And, oh, good, John.
And then one week it was, oh, you know, mum's sick, John.
Oh, no.
And then, you know, after some time went on and Dale called through
with the unfortunate news that his mum had passed away.
No.
So I want to point out as well that just this year John Laws lost his wife.
Yeah, I remember that.
But it's been a few years since Dale lost his mum.
And you heard in that first audio I played you, right,
that John was asking if Dale's been getting enough sleep.
Yeah.
Asking if he's been walking around.
Yeah.
Well, there's a reason for that.
Now, this is the sad part.
Oh, no.
Take a listen.
1-300-564-652. Our telephone number if you'd like to give us a listen. 1-300-564-652, our telephone number, if you'd like to give us a call.
Oh, I think I might have found Dale.
Dale?
Good morning, Dale.
I had a fall last night.
Oh, you didn't.
Did you have a nasty fall or just a little fall?
A bad fall.
A bad fall.
What happened?
Dale had his head on his, fall on bad fall. What happened? The dog had hurt his head and he fell on my head.
What happened?
What did you hit your head on?
On the coat hanger.
The coat hanger on my head.
The coat hanger.
Oh, the coat hanger.
Yeah.
That's no good.
But you're okay?
I'm fine.
Yeah, so long as you're fine because, you know, I worry about you.
I want you to be fine.
Yeah, I'm fine now.
Now, what have you been up to?
Tell me, what have you been up to?
Have you been going to sleep, apart from hitting yourself on the head?
Have you been going to sleep?
Not yet.
Oh, mate.
Not yet.
I know you're walking around and you're looking for Mum.
Still walking around, looking for Mum.
Oh, mate.
Oh, no.
Mate, you're not going to find Mum.
I'm never going to find Mum. No, you're not.
One day you will.
Not yet. You can't find her.
No, not yet.
So you've got to be patient.
One day.
You might see her one day.
Don't worry.
One day you'll be back with Mum.
I promise you.
Yeah.
Okay, so you just think about that.
She's waiting for you.
She's watching you. Don't you think she's not got an eye on you?
Because she has.
She's looking down and making sure that her Dale is good and healthy and happy.
She wants you to be happy, mate.
Yeah, she wants you to be very, very happy.
She wants you to be very, very happy.
So you must try and be happy.
And the way to be happy is to think about the lovely memories you had of Mum
and the good fun you had together with Mum
and the love you share still with Mum
because she still loves you, even though she's up there.
She still loves you.
She still loves you. I bet she does.
You bet she loves you and you love her.
I do.
I know you do. I know you do.
So everything's pretty good, really,
when you stop and have a close look at it.
You know, things are pretty good, aren't they?
Yeah.
Oh, bless John.
Yeah, that was the one that got me when I heard it the first time.
You can hear in his voice that he has to sort of stop and check
and then move on.
That's – he's such a good friend to him.
Many radio announcers just move on and wouldn't give Dale the time of day.
I know.
I love seeing that side of John because we are used to the ruthless, you know.
Like we'll have very little patience for callers.
Yes.
He and Dale have had this really beautiful relationship over the years.
And then, I mean, John has also very recently lost his wife.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
So I think he would be a good person to tell Dale about, you know, grief.
He could relate.
Yeah.
That's so beautiful.
Sorry to end on a bit of a downer.
Yeah, thanks a lot, Mitchell.
Jesus Christ.
Next week we'll be back ridiculing people, though.
So it's fine.
Back to what we do best.
And I know I was going to do this next week, but I thought, oh, it's our last show.
It's meant to be, you know, a bit of fun.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
We can be silly in the last show. It's meant to be, you know, a bit of fun. Oh, yeah, yeah. We can be silly in the last show.
It's just good to get it out of the system.
But I know that, you know, Christmas can be a tricky time for some people.
Yes.
Because it reminds them of people that aren't there anymore.
So, yeah, you know.
It can.
But John had a great point, you know.
Yeah.
You just remember them.
They are still there.
They're always there.
I also didn't want to do it next week because I thought it would be a bit fucking off seeing
as Jenna's going to be in a coffin.
Oh, yeah.
Very true. Is it happening? Yeah, it's happening, Jenna's going to be in a coffin. Oh, yeah, very true.
Is it happening?
Yeah, it's happening, Jenna.
Well, is it happening?
You're the one looking after this.
I don't know.
Anyone new here, you might not have heard, but Jenna decided that she wanted to do a show from a coffin as a challenge.
Mitch is organising it. And can I just say, people often go, you put Jenna through the wringer.
Jenna suggested this, Mitch.
I think we suggested it, but she was oddly keen for it.
In a joke?
Well, we know that she's lived multiple lives, so this isn't her first burial.
So she's not scared of it.
Have you done a show from a coffin before?
No. Interesting.
We did check. You weren't here in episode
50, but we did check with the guy. You won't
suffocate. No. Which is, you know,
boring, but that's alright.
It's happened before. I had a call with him yesterday.
Did you? Yes. And he said, can I call you back all right. It's happened before. I had a call with him yesterday. Did you?
Yes.
And he said, can I call you back, mate?
It's very busy.
Oh, yeah, COVID, of course.
It's a lot going on.
Got a lot of business.
It's true.
It's true.
Is business booming?
That's a tricky one because you go to drinks, you go, how's work, Mitch?
Yeah, good.
Radio's great.
You don't ever sort of know people.
What about you, Trevor?
Oh, I'm booming. I had the best month ever. bought just bought a yacht why what are you doing you would feel bad in the funeral industry if your business is booming
wouldn't you people are dropping like flies all those white ladies in their five bedroom
mansions not the white with a white lady if you're not the white women but they're rich as
well so they both work anyway so shoot him a text See if you can get the coffin in here next week for our final episode of the year.
Guys, it's going to be fun.
We doing any Christmassy stuff?
We'll be Christmassy themed?
I would assume so.
Yeah, we'll have some bells.
I'll be in the coffin.
Nothing screams Christmas like a girl in a coffin.
She's going to be in her grave.
She's not our slave, eh?
She's doing this voluntarily.
All right, guys, we'll see you next week for the very last episode of Season 2.
We'll see you then.
See you, guys.
Bye.
Thanks for listening.

Welcome to AD Debrief.
This is our secret segment on the end.
We hope to trick most people out of listening and then we just hang out with you guys, our favourite listeners.
Yeah, the best of the bunch.
So you mustn't tell anyone if you've discovered the secret segment.
Don't do it.
It's our secret shame.
We go on tangents.
We don't focus.
It's like our OnlyFans, really, isn't it?
It's just the extra content.
Imagine if we did that.
We just uploaded like an MP3 to OnlyFans and it's just our bonus band at the end of every episode.
Well, did you know that's what OnlyFans was started as?
It was like a Patreon.
It still is that.
That's what it's meant to be, but it's just large in part.
People use it for nude shit.
I've seen that.
It's like, Helen Mirren, my OnlyFans is launched.
And I was like, jeez, all right.
I'm sure there's a market for it.
No, it's just behind the scenes footage from the set.
Yeah, it's just like content that you have to pay to get.
I know that Kato Potato has an OnlyFans and she's not adding nudes.
I don't even know Kato Potato.
She's great.
She's great.
I love me some Kato Potato.
I did a, oh God.
When I used to host Not My Cup of Tea, my
old podcast. Oh, I haven't heard of it.
We did an
interview with Kato Potato because I'm friends with her
and we
didn't air it because
she, like, she
is designed for AD debrief.
Like, she just rambles
and rambles and rambles and rambles.
And it went for 40 minutes.
And there's no way I can cut down a 40-minute chat.
Yeah.
And in the end, I'm not even kidding, Aislinn, Talisha and I,
we turned the mics off and we just sat around with our headphones off going,
what do we do?
She won't stop.
Even tried.
It's like she couldn't hear us.
We were interrupting and we'd ask a question, but she wouldn't answer it.
She'd just go on and on.
It was the most bizarre thing.
It was like she'd had acid before the interview.
But she's not normally like that when I talk to her on Facebook and stuff.
So it was just the weirdest interview I've ever done.
We never aired it.
She's also not making as much content as she used to, right?
Oh, yeah.
She's quite sick.
Is she really?
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
Thoughts with your Kale and Potato?
Yeah, of course.
Legend.
I also forgot to mention at the end of the show there that next week
we are letting you in on a little experiment
that we've been doing on this very show.
You might have noticed that Mitch has been making some
noise. At the start of every
podcast. During our opening music,
the little intro there. Yeah. Well, I've just
been, one week I sneezed.
Yeah, there's been a few. There's been a couple, you're right.
Yeah, and
there was a reason behind that.
We weren't just being funny.
It was an experiment.
And I've got to tell you, I'm very disappointed in you all.
You there, you listener, I'm very upset with you.
I'm not happy with the result.
I'll let you in on the experiment next week.
Yeah.
But yeah, we weren't just doing it for fun.
It was actually to test you.
You've just taken part in a CSIRO experiment.
And you have failed.
You don't get paid.
So thanks a lot for that.
I'm very upset. Sad, sad. Yeah, Mitch was mad. He called have failed. You don't get paid. So thanks a lot for that.
Sad, sad. Yeah, Mitch was mad.
He called me furious.
It's turned out how it has.
That's right.
Anyway.
Disappointing.
Next week it'll all be revealed.
Micro-YV.
Oh, Mitch, you'll stop.
He wants to leave this recording, so he just keeps...
It's downstairs, Mitch.
There's one car park.
No one's here.
You'll be able to find it.
If this booth wasn't soundproof, this studio,
I reckon we could hear the beeping from my car if I did the lock from here.
Should you run to the roof and do it?
Oh, I'd definitely get it from the roof.
Really?
Yeah.
Do you want to hear it?
Yeah.
Hold on.
All right.
I'll be setting you up with one of these.
What is that?
This is the wireless Britney Spears headset mic.
I don't think – will that stay in range if I'm on the roof?
Yeah, sure.
We can try it.
Am I going to be able to hear you?
Yeah, let's try.
It's a radio, Mike.
It's not working.
No, it's not connected yet.
No time like the present, clown.
It's not working.
It's not going to work.
Fuck the Britney, Mike.
Take this one.
Take that.
Use that.
Hello, am I on?
Hi.
Yeah, we can hear you.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hi.
All right, off I go.
He's off.
All right, so this is what we're listening out for, Jenna.
Okay.
What it sounds like.
Do you think we'll hear it?
How late is it?
Is there no one here?
No one's here.
This is what it's like nightly for me.
It's horrendous.
Yeah, wow.
I feel like I'm going to be stabbed in these lonely halls.
No, the clean is very nice.
I like these little adventures.
Me too.
Last time we did this was the doTERRA oil diffuser in the car, right, Mitch?
Oh, that was like episode six.
Have we really not done any adventures?
No, that's not true.
We sent Jenna to bloody the drive-in cinema in Blacktown.
Oh, yeah.
Of course.
Two episodes ago.
You were in the Blacktown drive-in.
Of course.
Good for you.
That was a good night.
Was that it, Mitch?
Was that the horn?
No, that was the rooftop, you idiot.
That was just me opening a door.
Oh, that's coming out of the rooftop.
Sorry.
Sorry, Folsom.
Okay.
Where is my son of a bitch vehicle?
Oh, I'm going to pump you right up.
Can I turn the, um, I'm going to turn the music down just to help.
Right, hold on.
Oh, it's cold up here.
Oh, just hurry up and do it.
There's a sign that says no admittance now.
Oh, well.
Okay.
Oh, is it rain?
There's puddles everywhere up on this roof.
This sounds scary.
Yeah, it sounds like this is a Blair Witch Project.
Yeah.
Is it raining?
No, it just must have.
All right.
You ready?
I'm up on the roof.
Here we go.
Mitch Coombs live from the roof.
Will the horn test work?
This is what we're listening for.
Mitch, go for it.
Yep, it's working.
Oh! Is it?
Yep. Oh my god,
there's a runner. Someone's running past. I'm going to beep it when he gets to my car. Okay.
Motherfucker,
that's what you get for exercising at this time of night.
Get a life. Alright, ready?
Ha! he looked.
Yay, it worked.
Now get back to studio, Mitch.
We'll see you soon.
Let's cross to Jono.
He's got the latest.
Sorry?
Do I have to come back?
I might just hang up here if that's all right with you.
Should we end the show from right here?
But I think we've got a traffic report.
Oh, don't.
Mitch, thank you for crossing the line from the rooftop.
We'll be checking in with you straight after this.
WSFM.
Oh, my God.
We should replace that with, and we do it like this.
And it goes to the beach the same, Mitch.
Yeah.
Can we at least get our own traffic sweeper made?
I'm sick of plugging that awful station WSFM.
I'm happy with that.
Let's get our own IJM traffic made.
And it starts with this.
That's gold.
I'll edit them closer together.
All right.
Get back to studio, Mitch.
Yeah, I'm coming.
All right.
Well, what a time to be alive.
Yes.
That worked. I'm shocked. I couldn't really hear it. I think I'll have to listen back. I'm going to time to be alive. Yes. That worked.
I'm shocked.
I couldn't really hear it.
I think I'll have to listen back.
I'm going to have to bump up the audio.
Are you guys still there?
Yeah, we can hear you.
You know how I said that there was a gate that said no admittance?
Yeah.
I think it's only openable from one side, and I'm now on the other side,
and it won't open.
He's stuck.
You're stuck?
Look, I think I may be
But I could be wrong
Let's do an experiment
You stay there overnight
Come back to studio Mitch
I can't
Are you actually locked?
Yes
Why would I make that up?
Oh shit I don't know
For content
Can you send Jenna up?
I don't want to wrap the show yet
Alright Jenna can you run up and help him?
I don't have my key.
Take your pass.
Do you want mine?
Yes, please.
Okay, there's my pass.
Thank you.
There you go.
Mitch, are you actually locked?
Yes.
God, what if you did this at night when no one was here?
You'd be trapped.
Well, I would hazard a guess and say that's why they put a no-admittance sign on the fucking gate.
That makes plenty of sense.
Well, I'm surprised that worked, to be honest, but I'm glad we did it.
Riveting content.
I don't know if you remember, but last week you said
that I should play the mispronunciation of yours that I noticed.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, Nigella kind of replaced that in the main show,
but I do have it, if you want me to still point out that mispronunciation of yours.
I didn't feel that strongly about it in the end,
so I've saved it for the shit bit of the show.
Ooh, okay.
We'll get back to studio and we'll do it.
Stop saying that!
I'm trying!
Over here, you idiot!
Oh, dear.
It's nice in studio.
The aircon's lovely. There's no gates that have locked me in. Oh, here we go.. Oh, dear. It's nice in studio. The air con's lovely.
There's no gates that have locked me in.
Oh, here we go.
Jenna's got me.
Thank you, Jenna.
Bear with us.
Some technical difficulties.
Have you not been out there, Jenna?
I just pushed her out.
She's going to whelp in from here.
Now she's locked out.
I'm stuck.
If you both are locked up there.
No, she let me out and then goes, oh, I've never been up here.
So I pushed her out the gate and then closed it.
So now Jenna's locked.
Right, right.
Classic.
Classic switcheroo.
I can't get in.
No.
Mitchell, help the poor girl.
Here you go.
Oh, there you go.
This is out of hand.
What do you mean it's out of hand?
You're no fun today, Mitchell.
Not really into torture.
Ah, well, that makes fun of us.
God, it's flowy up here.
Chilly.
Hmm.
All right, we're coming back down.
Okay.
See you soon.
Well, that was a real pleasure. How's your day been? Let's get back down. Okay. See you soon. How's your day been?
How's your day been?
We're going to have to keep talking in the meantime.
We've got time
to kill. You're going to have to, what do you mean
we'll talk to them when we get back in? We're not just going to leave silence
in the podcast. You're going to have to
keep talking.
It's called padding out in the biz. I don't know if you've heard of it.
That was frightening. I've turned you off. Wow, you're really just saying nothing, aren't you? I've got the biz. I don't know if you've heard of it. That was frightening.
I've turned you off.
Wow, you're really just saying nothing, aren't you?
I've got the microphone.
I can't hear them.
Pain's in the asses.
Hello?
Why did you stop talking?
Welcome back.
Why did you stop talking?
Because I could see that you were on approach.
Thank you, Jenna, for my buzz.
How was it up there?
You both looked very windblown.
It was scary.
It was very cold and windy up there.
I can imagine.
And what's this mispronunciation?
Because I doubt that I've made a mistake.
It was definitely wrong, but I just, yeah, as I was listening back to it, I was like,
meh.
Like, if it was that good, I probably would have had this feeling of, oh my God, I have
to bring this up today.
But I was like, oh, I have to hold it.
So I don't feel that strongly about it.
But you guys be the judges.
And this is no Nigella moment.
I wouldn't say it's on Nigella's level.
Interesting.
Okay.
Do you want to just play it on your phone?
No, I did load it over there.
Oh, okay.
So it can't be that bad if it's been a while.
It'll either, I think I called it cheery mispronunciation.
Well, there's two here.
Yeah.
The first one is the whole sentence.
The second one is the isolated grab.
Got it.
You know how we do things around here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know the system.
I think I've got hypothermia.
Oh, grow up, Jenny.
You had a jacket.
I'm wearing bloody singlet and shorts.
You had hypothermia when you hiked the Indies.
Yeah, I know.
Back with Muhammad Ghandi.
You'll be fine.
All right, it's loaded.
I miss him.
Yeah, he's a great guy.
Are we ready?
Mm-hmm.
All right, here we go.
This is my apparent, I doubt it, mispronunciation from this show or somewhere else.
It was episode 49, I think.
Jeez, okay.
So not that long ago.
Here we go.
Let's roll it.
Although I'm very thorough in my research.
Thorough.
No.
Thorough.
That's ridiculous.
Thorough.
Thorough.
Thorough.
Thorough.
Thorough.
So it's thorough.
Yes.
Thorough.
And I said, although I'm very thorough in my research, I'm clearly not if I can't pronounce the word right.
You said thorough instead of thorough.
So it's thorough.
Thorough.
Really?
Thorough.
I think Americans say thorough.
Thorough.
Well, obviously I'm in and out of LA.
Oh, come on.
So my voice has been twanged by thorough.
The American thorough.
The problem was that I couldn't really think of any rhyming words to go with it.
Barrow Monday. I love that I couldn't really think of any rhyming words to go with it. Barrowmundy.
I love that fish, barrowmundy.
I think that's not great.
Thurrah.
Barrah.
Thurrah.
Parramatta.
It's a great suburb.
No, you would say Parramatto.
Parramatto.
Because you changed the uh.
Thurrow.
Parramatto.
It's a double way.
Thurrow. Thurrow. Although I'm very thorough in my research. Why didn't you call meamatta. It's a double way.
Thorough.
Thorough.
Although I'm very thorough in my research. Why didn't you call me out?
I sound like it right now.
I didn't notice it at the time.
Thorough.
Me too.
How stupid.
Thorough.
Thorough.
Thorough.
Thorough.
You know, why kidneys are my favourite?
Because they have natural burrows.
I met this new guy on Tinder.
He makes my heart flutter.
Thorough.
That's dumb.
Yeah.
Thorough.
There's one ingredient in a cake that I really, really love.
Yeah.
Butter.
Thorough.
Okay, maybe it's funnier than I I thought this one doesn't really matter sorrow
Peter Padua I watched a movie the other day And it had terrible reviews
Everyone says this is trash
This is trash
Terrible trash
Trash trash trash
It was Alice in Wonderland
The remake
I thought
I liked it
Good characters
And my favourite of course
Was the Mad Hatter
Oh my God
Also I pissed off
Have I told you this story?
What story?
My phone, the glass is cracked,
and I bought a very expensive screen protector
that they claim was anti-shadow.
And it's cracked.
And I'm very mad.
Yeah.
Did I say, hold on, did I say thorough or thorough?
Although I'm very thorough in my research with things.
You said thorough.
Oh, so it's the latter.
Did you stutter?
Oh, my God.
Fuck, I should have brought it up.
Yeah.
You know that Mitch used to work part-time as a child's entertainer?
He would do tricks, you know, pull things out of a hat and go,
ta-da!
You idiot.
I would.
Very true.
Yep.
What are you doing?
Furrowing your eyebrows.
This is a hard one.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
That's why I didn't bring it up
Because I was like
It's shit
And so last week when you said
Oh let's do it next week
There was a bit of me that was like
God now he's holding me to it
So thank god you found the Nigella one
So we bumped it
Microworthy
You can't beat that
Microworthy
Absolutely dumb
Alright guys
Oh we're done
We should go
See you then
It felt like that show flew by.
Well, I mean, you know, we have Jenna's previous hookups on the show.
Oh, yeah.
It's a laugh a minute.
No, we can't talk about that.
No, we can't.
Thank you, Jenna, for being a great sport.
Everyone, have I done an instant interview?
No, because every day of your life you do an instant interview.
Yeah, but I think you are going to have to do something and think of one that will stump me.
What, like I deliberately get someone who's just well beyond your recognition?
Like a neuroscientist.
Get me Charlie Tao.
A politician.
It's Charlie Tao.
A politician.
Oh, my God.
Julia Gillard's doing the rounds for her.
No, you'd have enough knowledge stored away about her.
Julia Gillard, the misogyny speech and the red hair.
Yeah, and her husband, Tim.
No, her partner, Tim.
The hairdresser.
I forget that that was a little moment in time where everyone was laughing at him, calling
him gay.
Yeah, I know.
That's horrendous.
So bad.
He's not.
He just loves and knows how to do roots well.
Yeah, that's right.
Nothing wrong with knowing how to do roots well as a man.
That's exactly right.
I love it.
Yeah.
Cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway.
Anyway, guys, this has been... is it just me the podcast um it's our final week
next week yes i know i was just gonna say that it's our last week for 2020 our last episode of
season two then we're back for season three yes now last time we wrapped a season it was because
i was masking my inner demons and i was panicking and needed a break. I can promise you this time I'm not wrapping the show to have a breakdown.
In fact, I know that I'm going to be itching to come back.
Yep.
So I don't know how long we're going to be gone for.
I think it's going to be more you.
You're the one that needs a rest.
Yeah, I was going to say, if anyone's close to a mental breakdown,
it's Jenna, but then me next.
Well, I'll be in a coffin.
Jenna will be.
I'm burnt out, man.
I've had a very busy end of the year and I'm over it.
So we'll see you in April.
Yes, you know what
Hamish and Andy do
on their podcast?
They take a three-month
break every year.
Why?
They say the podcast

What does that mean?
I don't know.
I think we're off that email.
I don't think we're part
