People do some weird shit. Television legend Kerri-Ann Kennelly fell several metres from a trapeze while performing in the musical Pippet. Some things make more sense than others. Ring Pike's Nurseries. What nursery? Pike's. P-Y-K-E-S. P-Y-A... K as in kill. P-Y-A K as in kill.

P-Y-E K! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Why is being alive so expensive? I'm not even having a good time. This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. What about me? Don't forget Chin-O.

Who? Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchel Koo. Live from the bedroom. Hello. We actually are in my bedroom. This is the weirdest scenario ever. This is not what I pictured this week's episode to be at all. Oh, this is horrendous. I mean, I feel like I'm in a Dutch oven or like a Greek bakery.

Like, there's just so much humidity in the air. I don't have air con. Okay, Sydney rent is expensive. Turn the bed. Can you hear the fan? It's a Sunbeam 1938 pivot fan. It's cooling my ankle. That's about it.

So this is quite sweet what has happened, everyone. I had a very sudden rush to hospital during the week. Very sudden. It was Wednesday and around 12 p.m. I felt this little tightness in my stomach. Almost fatal. Yeah. Well, not really. I felt this tightness in my stomach and I thought,

oh, I was at Pilates last night. That must just be my abs coming through. But it wasn't my abs. It was appendicitis. And slowly but surely the stomach pain got more intense and then I was rushed to hospital to get my appendix taken out. I messaged you two being like, sorry, I can't do the podcast tonight. And I fully thought that they would just rip my appendix out that night at hospital

and I'd be back at work Thursday morning. Well, we thought that too. We honestly thought that the same thing would happen. I said, same time tomorrow? Yeah. We'll just podcast on Thursday instead of Wednesday. Oh my god. I did not realise the recovery involved when it comes to getting your appendix

removed. I'm in utter agony. It's like, right now we're in my bedroom and you guys have come to me, which is very sweet. Now, I don't want to toot my own horn, but I am waiting for the praise. We have a, my radio desk that I have for my in-home studio, I've packed it up.

I've brought it here. I've got sound effects loaded on the board. Mitch doesn't have to edit a thing. We've got microphones. Jenna's here. I'm here. I actually didn't know that this was possible. If I'd known that this was an option the whole time,

we would have done this every week. I'm so comfortable. I've got my legs kicked back. I wish you could see. Were they hair and pants from yoga class? He's got an ice pack on his abdomen. Mitch looks like he's

three months pregnant. I have to wear really loose clothing during recovery from the surgery because I don't know if you're familiar with keyhole surgery but they

essentially pump a heap of gas into you so that your stomach becomes huge so they can look around with a camera lens and stuff and so I'm going to be bloated for the

next three days. I actually look pregnant. He actually does. Yeah. Looks like it's a little, it's two twins. around with a camera lens and stuff and so i'm going to be bloated for the next three days i actually look pregnant he actually does yeah looks like it's a little it's two twins it does two twins what would they do with me yeah so far um so this was not the plan for this episode i had grand plans to do a bit of a you know a saucy in gym top five if you recall that's on hold that was the anal topic right that was well the night so the wednesday that you had to get rushed to hospital jenna and i were at work because it was like six o'clock when we got the message and we normally record at 6 30 ish and you just said i

can't come in so we had to cancel dr not dr go we had to cancel the anal doctor and not do the episode it was like so sudden yeah i had a guest locked in and everything but hey i'll bring that up in a couple of weeks so we're just gonna going to have to roll with the punches for now. It's very nice that you guys have managed to make this happen because I refused to miss my first ever podcast. The whole time I did not my cup of tea. Sorry. I never missed an episode.

And I've never missed an episode of Is It Just Me? Both of you have. Yeah, we have. Yes, for reasons. I'm like, I refuse to miss a single episode and you guys just went above and beyond. But in my bedroom, you've brought your home studio here. So it's happening.

I'm very prepared. You know, I've got the show openers there and when we want to close, I can close it. I'm so impressed. I've got it all. And to be honest, I made sure we have some Mijam staples. That's there. And I can, in quick succession go, I can fire it up.

Can I push that? Yeah, go for it Jenna. Now you know what Mitch, you press the red button. Trust me, now you'll know why I love doing it. I don't want to do it. You pop a stitch. Yeah, I don't want to pop a stitch. My abdomen is in severe pain. Shit, I also brought this for the story.

You forgot. I did forget. Well, do. My abdomen is in severe pain. Shit, I also brought this for the story. You forgot. I did forget. Well, do you know what? Leave this on. Yeah. I'm currently on very hectic painkillers. Oh, Endone? No, not Endone.

They didn't want to give me that in case I got constipated. Oh, dear. But the painkillers I am on, they have been described to me as one step down from heroin. So I apologise if I'm not the most coherent version of myself this episode. I have been a little bit deranged recently. I've got two weeks off work. Far out. I know.

Mercury retrograde has really fucked us all over. It is over now. It is over now. Congratulations. Mercury is dead. Well and truly over. It is over now. Mercury is dead. Well and truly over. Whilst I was feeling a little bit unhinged, I made a phone

call to our medical correspondent Dr Gay. Oh, we love Dr Gay. Yes, he's been on the show before and he's the only person I can think of to turn to when I have medical questions. There was just something I was a little bit perplexed about when it came to my appendix removal.

Yeah. So this is the phone call. I recorded it on my phone. Hold on. This is poor Dr Gay having to put up with my unhinged shit during this period when I'm drugged to the nines. All right, here it is. Hello.

Hi, Dr Gay. It's Mitchell. Hello, darling. Hi, I'm so sorry to call you out of the blue during your personal time that's okay i just had one question about the surgery i know you're a paramedic i'm not sure if this is really your area but i'm just really confused about something that happened to me during that surgery so you know how the appendix is like in the abdomen, right? Yeah. And the keyhole surgery happens purely around the torso area.

Yeah. Could you, from a medical point of view, explain to me why the fuck they shaved my pubes off? All of them? I'm stripped bare, Dr Gay. There's nothing left. I look like an eight-year-old boy. Why do they do that?

Oh, honey, that's not okay. Why? Is that not normal? No, it is standard procedure to shave the surrounding area. What do you mean the surrounding area? My gunt doesn't droop that low. It's in case something happens and the keyhole, you know, they nick an artery or if it bursts or something,

then they'll have to, like, cut you open. Right. So the problem is, you know, if hair gets in the wound and then they sew you up, it can create abscesses and infections and all that kind of thing. So they just shave your hair prophylactically. Right, so it was a precaution. It wasn't just a rude hint like, God, this guy's

an absolute bush pig. We're going to do him a favour. Well, how much of a bush pig were you, G? Hey, that's none of your business, Dr Gay. How long is it going to take to grow back? I don't know. You've never shaved them before?

Not completely. God, like I manscaped, but I've never just gotten rid of all of it. No, I did it completely once, never again, though. The itching and burning, itching and burning. I'm hearing you. I'm hearing you. Uh-huh. All right.

Well, thank you, Dr. Gay. I'll leave you to it. No worries. I'm glad you're feeling better. Thanks. Bye-bye. Oh, my God. Wow. glad you're feeling better. Thanks. Bye-bye. Oh, my God. Wow.

God is good. I woke up from surgery and I was lying there for a few hours in absolute agony. And then after a few hours, I went to the bathroom and obviously pulled down my pants and I went, huh? Why did they interfere with that region? All of it. It's all gone. Even like around it?

Yeah. So they saw your penis? They must have. Oh, my God. That's a breach of privacy. Thankfully's all gone. Even like around it? Yeah. So they saw your penis? They must have. Oh, my God. That's a breach of privacy. Thankfully I was knocked out. Yeah. That's why I needed to ask Dr Gay.

Is that a breach of privacy or is it normal? Apparently he said it's a precaution. That could be a fan. You're very well known in the Concord West area. Imagine waking up from one hour in surgery and then you're slowly coming to and you hear, Mitchell, wake up now. I loved your tiktok ads with abby chatfield don't make me laugh my sisters are killing me poor thing oh god jenna

you also had a shit week right that's what you guys said i'll talk about jenna's shit week as well i'm like well she hasn't been cut open oh i've been cut emotionally oh, what happened? Well, as some of you may know, Facebook has decided to ban all news from its platform. And I work primarily online on Facebook for a radio station, WSFM. But it makes no sense because I just use Facebook as my news source. I feel like during coronavirus in particular, if it wasn't in my news feed, I didn't know it was happening. I wouldn't have known to wear a mask if not for Facebook. I completely agree.

Yeah. It seems like a weird... I don't get it. You two, it's like very in your realm. It's not for me. Is Facebook in the wrong or the government in the wrong? I think that the government's in the wrong for... Well, from my perspective, it's different different for others but i feel like the government

is demanding money from facebook because they're not giving any in return for news but isn't it just like cole's saying to caramilk we want you to pay us to stock your chocolate essentially that's ridiculous so i obviously was in a hospital bed as all of this was going down and i'm very much i'm in the same boat as Jenna. I'm very heavily involved in the digital media world. And I was so relieved to be in hospital because I was like, what a shit fight. I was jealous. I don't have to think about it.

But is it true that your Facebook page, the one that you're the manager for, got deleted? Yes, that is true. So let me just. Johnson and Mander. Yes. That one. Jonesy and Amanda. So when I first started at Jonesy and Amanda,

it had about 60,000 likes, right? Now, well, not now because it's been deleted. Before the ban, it reached 244,000 followers. Oh, Jenna single-handedly deleted that. A round of applause for Jenna. That is very good work, Jenna. Very good social media managing. Very, yeah.

Yes. So I spent hours upon hours. Curating that. Yes. And then all of a sudden, bam, it's gone. Mitchell's in hospital getting his appendix out. I'm jealous of that. Yeah, I'm high as fuck.

I couldn't care. I had a great week, guys. Sorry. I left early in tears. Oh, no. I never leave work early. It made you cry? Cry.

It made me sob on the way home. Wow. I was sobbing on my lounge. Last time you sobbed was when you had to build the great wall single-handedly. Exactly. Especially because Jonesy and Amanda, their audience is like 40 plus. So it's not like you can say, oh, well, we've got Instagram. Like your demographic live on Facebook.

They're those like facebook marketplace mums yeah yep nil nil oh no yeah i read that sorry to go on a tangent to marketplace but i was fighting for a pot plant for our house and someone said oh no and i was like oh no what no i have it you haven't won oh no and everyone started going, oh, no. They're going, what? Has the pot plant been broken? It's O-N-O. It's Orny Ristoffa. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Oh, no.

What's happened? Is everything all right with the pot plant? I want to pick it up in Five Dock today. It's like, oh, no. I wasn't getting the lingo. But, yeah, they've got Facebook or the Daily Telegraph or Alan Jones to get their news from. Or WSFM. Or WSFM, yes, yes.

The Facebook page. Far out. But it's going to come back. It's like, you know, that Avengers movie when they all die suddenly and's going to come back. It's like that Avengers movie when they all die suddenly and then everyone's like, they're dead, but they do come back. All right, well, let's all raise a glass to the end of Mercury in Retrograde. I think that's what has single-handedly screwed us all over. Yes, let's do that.

Completely agree. Cheers. Cheers, everyone. Oh, I can't get up, sorry. Oh, no, no, here we go. Here we go. Cheers. I can't move either.

I've got an overactive thyroid. All right, well, later on we're going to be doing Jenna's Junk, one of my favourite segments. Yeah. Also, excuse me if there's any editing issues because I'm editing the podcast this week. I am putting the sound effects in. I'm going to be cutting.

So if there's any sudden... Are we ready to start? Who wants to do their first Is It Just Me of the Week? I'll go first. You've done a lot of talking. Yeah. Is this an Is It Just Me? Or week? I'll go first. You've done a lot of talking. Yeah. Is this an Is It Just Me? Or as we aptly call them, everyone?

E-Gems! Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. I will go first this week. Let's go. Is it just me or... Was my family the only family to have a designated spew bowl? A designated spew bowl? A designated spew bowl? Like a vomit bowl.

At home. At home under the laundry sink. Yes, we had that too. A spew bowl? Yes, it was like an orangey, yellow. Orangey? It was like a Tupperware bowl. And every time I saw it, I felt sick.

I felt sick. Yeah, visibly sick. And it had like the white frayed plastic. Yep. And it was under the sink. Under the sink. And I was under the sink in the laundry mitch this is the thing i'd now this isn't my original thought i have seen it online people saying did your family have a spew bowl it's apparently it's a very aussie thing and if you see all the tweets like we all have lived the same lives haven't we

apparently an aussie spew bowl which jenna and i have not discussed this before today we have both had the same spew bowl it It's like an orange thick plastic. You know kids sort of like utensils? Like at Ikea, you get like a kid's cup and they're all different colours, but they're that randomly thick unbreakable plastic. You get forks and spoons and knives. It's like Ikea cutlery. Yeah, for some reason I'm feeling very nostalgic.

I'm not sure if we have one or not. Is my mother here? Yeah. Oh, she's – Jane! Jane! I'm not actually sure if she's in the house or not. Let me see. We can call sure if we have one or not. Is my mother here? Yeah. Oh, she's... Jane! Jane! I'm not actually sure if she's in the house or not. Let me see. We can call her if need be.

This is the perks of us not being in the studio. Jane is here to look after her ailing son after his poor debilitating... Sorry, every time I think of Neil Patrick Harris in episode one of It's a Sin, it's truly awful. Don't make that comparison. Sorry, but you're just so frail. Is she gone? She's not here. Oh, she must have gone to get

us lunch she's gone this is her number now because we're at the uh at home studio guys we can do everything we would do in the main studio yeah i'm very impressed with this setup yeah it's very good i'm looking to read a number out yeah please don't so jenna explain where your spew bowl was then i'll explain mine yep so how big is this bowl because my spews weren't exactly like, you know, a bit of punch. That is it. This is it. Everyone had this spew bowl. Give or take a couple of.

That's it. Mine was yellowy, orangey. Mine was orange. I think we went through a few iterations. But the fucked part of this was we also used it for light chips. Oh, no. It was used. That's so wrong.

We'd have a pool party and mum would put, you know, like a mixed bag of natural confectionery go in there. That's so wrong. Let's ring Jane and see if you guys had a spew. Live at the at-home studio, it's Jane Coombs. This is working quite well. It is, isn't it? Seamless.

No edit there. It's hot in here. Sorry. It's so hot. Hello? Hi, Jane. It's all of us. Who is it?

Sorry? Oh, Mitch, Mitch and Jenna. Oh, hi. How are you going? We're good, thank you. Mitch wants to ask you something. We were just yelling out to you. We thought you might have been out in the kitchen still.

Where are you? In that shop you took me to yesterday. Oh, okay. Yeah, this beautiful home we're store in Abbotsford. It's nice. It's so nice. Beautiful. So, Jane, Mitch was actually wondering, is it just me this week,

was do you have a designated spew bucket? Did we have one? No, we didn't actually. It was just whatever ice cream container I had lying around the house. Ice cream container. See, we used the ice cream containers. The old ice cream container. And it was Neapolitana, wasn't it?

Yeah, and then you could ditch it after the event. You could chuck it in. See, we used that as like the communal magpie bath. Like mum would fill it up with water and the magpies would dip into it out the front and the local dogs and cats. But we had like a, Jane, you know the orange Tupperware? Like you know how mums went to Tupperware parties in the mid-thousands? Oh, yeah.

Like an orange. The yellow. The yellow, orange, generous yellow. I had a lot of yellow. See? So you know what we're talking about, right? I do, exactly. See, that was our designated spew bowl and it was under the laundry sink and, you know,

we'd go to sushi one night in the early thousands. It was early sushi. Like, we hadn't, it wasn't good quality. So then I'd come home and go, Mum, I'm going to be sick. And she'd run and get the spew bowl and a beach towel, and she'd wrap it on my legs, and I'd just spew into this orange Tupperware, and then she'd wash it with some Domestos and back under the sink. Oh, that's so funny.

Now I've got rid of the ice cream buckets. I quite like the idea when it was over and done with, it left the scene, left the house. That's very smart. Do any memories come to mind when you think about Mitchell's sick days? Well, the food poisoning one was a bit of a horror, wasn't it, really? We had Christmas leftovers maybe on the 2nd of January. Oh, pushing it. Yeah, that's pushing it. And I was in hospital for quite some time, wasn't I, Jane?

Yeah, you and Nicole ended up in hospital because it was coming out both ends. I didn't sleep for two nights because I was just changing sheets and had towels all over the bed and stuff because you couldn't make it to the toilet or the bucket. Oh, no. I was projectile shitting everywhere. And vomiting at the same time. Exactly. And now here I am constipated. So you get both ends of the bargain. There you the same time. Exactly. And now here I am constipated. So you get both ends of the bargain.

There you were, Jane. Exactly. Ian, we don't have enough ice cream tubs. Call an ambulance. He's got one near his mouth. Oh, Jane. All right. Well, thank you for the contribution.

We'll see you when you get back here. Okay. See you soon, guys. All right. See you. Bye. Bye. Bye.

Bye. Bye. Gosh, she's great talent, isn't she? I know. Far out. Anyway, it was also used for food. I did point that out, didn't I? I think that's feral. Terrific. Gosh, she's great talent, isn't she? I know. Far out. Anyway, it was also used for food. I did point that out, didn't I? I think that's feral.

Terrific. Anyway, what's your idea, Jimmy? Ready? Yeah, let's go. Is it just me or? A bath bomb's just no good. Oh. Absolutely agree.

If you had have asked me a year ago, I would have been, no, we love a bath bomb, but I'm fully over them. I just don't get it. And I felt bad because I was obviously documenting me being in hospital recently with the whole appendix surgery and all that. And this beautiful girl, Courtney, who runs her own company, I'll give her a plug because I love small business, the Pamper Hamper, she runs a Sydney-based business,

and she offered to send me a little care package for my recovery from this surgery. And I'm like, that's beautiful. And I was looking at what's involved, bath bombs, candles, gift packs, card diffusers, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, that all sounds wonderful except for the bath bomb bit. I can't with the bath bombs. I've still got a whole box in my bathroom here of bath bombs that I got stuck with from Secret Santa in 2019.

Oh. And I tried them and I was like, I just don't get it. I wish I got it. I just don't. They also lose their bombiness after a while. Like, there's a good six-month window when they're perfect and ripe. It's like a mango. Like, you put it in, it sort of fizzes and it works.

But you get an old one that just crumbles and melts away. Oh, I didn't know that. They could definitely be used by a date. No, they're so boring. I've never even tried it. You've never had a bath bomb? I'm not interested. The worst ones are the ones that have glitter in them. The whole point of having a bath is to clean yourself and you get out looking like you've just been to Mardi Gras.

That's the thing. What actually is the point of it? Is it supposed to smell nice? Does it have skin benefits? I don't get it. No, you know what? I think bath bombs have gone the route of things that were originally like to help and to make the water clear and to make the water have, you know, essential oils and whatnot. And then the gays have gotten their hands on them and they're like, let's add jelly bellies in them.

Don't make me laugh. You know what my sister said to me last week? She said, I've ordered six bath bombs that have real four-carat gold rings in them. What's the point? I'd sit on it and it'd be stuck in me. It'd go around my little penis. It'd get caught. She honestly bought, oh God, I'm like, because you're a ringer,

now that we have the capabilities. But she bought bath bombs. But it's like the service station gem rocks that you could chip open. You go to a servo and there's rocks and there's like one in ten chance of getting a real gold dinosaur egg. Yeah, they're like those bath bombs. One in a million have a diamond ring in there. So she's like, I bought six so I can

get the ring I'm like, you need it. I wouldn't want to get the ring. Neither would I. Like I said, I'd sit on it. They're just always disappointing, right? Yeah. I recently, I, do you know that brand Tilly Soaps? Yes. So they have a scent of candle called Pink Lychee. And I love the Tilly Soaps Pink Lychee candle.

But apparently so does everyone else in the world. I cannot get a hold of it. They're just sold out. But what I could find was Pink Lychee bath bombs. And I'm like, surely if it's the same brand and the same scent, it's going to be somewhat satisfying yeah of course absolutely not the pink lychee bath bomb was the most disappointing thing that has ever happened to me sorry tilly it was so bland and so nothing and

unfulfilling and i'm like what is the point of them they don't smell nice they don't feel nice they don't look nice if you get a yellow bath bomb it looks like you've pissed everywhere and you're just stewing in your own urine yeah i've had a brown skew one before and i've thought is that me or is that the bath bomb or i've had like a i remember i got like a herbal one that was like bath bombs are killing the planet so it was a hessian sack that was like laced with lavender beads and cardamom pods i'm like i'm not a fucking chai tea like it was a Hessian sack that was like laced with lavender beads and cardamom pods. I'm like, I'm not a fucking chai tea. Like it was brewing me in the bath.

And it was not fun. I didn't enjoy it. You know what I miss? What? You know what I love? The best bath inventions ever were these. Bath beads. Remember bath beads?

Bath beads. Did you grow up with bath beads? Yes. No, I've never seen a bath bead in my life. So they're little jellies. They're tiny. They're the size of a five-cent piece. But they're filled with really, really concentrated bubble bath.

And they're really squishy. And they all have a tail or a high point that you twist. Like there's a pig or there's a strawberry or there's a whale. And the tail and the nose and the little leaf on the strawberry, you'd twist off and you'd throw it into the bath. And it would disintegrate. It was like jelly. And it was so much fun.

You'd have a little crate full of them. Is that how you're supposed to use them? Because I used to just play with them. I'd never use them. No wonder you've never had a bubble bath because your mum's been buying it for you for years. She thinks you'll love it. That's so weird to me. They're little characters.

Yeah, little dolphins and duckies. And you're supposed to snap its limb off and watch it perish before your eyes. Yeah, there's a small little kid and you snap her head off and you put it in. Or you can just put it in your bath and watch it float. Or play with it, yeah, as they slowly melt away and die in your hands. No wonder Jenna loved them because this little duck would slowly die as she watched it. You sick bitch. watched it.

You sick bitch. You're listening to Is It Just Me? A podcast by a couple of bitches. And if you want to follow us online at

coupleofbitches it's where you can find us on Instagram and TikTok or if you're on Facebook unlike most

news outlets you can find our Facebook group. It is still alive and kicking. It's called Endurant Idiots.

I didn't tell you guys, but I deleted Facebook. Did you? Yeah, so it's gone. I used to have it down the bottom and now it's gone. As in you deleted the app or you deleted your account? The app, not the account. Only because I need Facebook Messenger. But I just think if I can like detach myself from being obsessed with the app,

I wake up every morning and I check it, I think that's a baby step. But I still need Messenger. But here I am telling everyone to go join our Facebook group. Am I going to be the only one trying to keep it afloat now if you're not in the group? I said this to Hayden. I'm like, you know, it keeps them wanting more. It's that celebrity factor. It's like, we can't get hold of Mitchell. Oh, you are so

full of yourself. It crossed my mind. But that's not the real point. That's not the real point. I give it a week. I give it a week. You'll be back in the Enduring Idiots group after a week. I give it five days. I can hold it. the Enduring Idiots group after a week. I give it five days. I can hold it. Well, it's already been two. As I go to search our podcast, Is It Just Me,

where you can go and subscribe, I also notice there's been an influx of Is It Just Me podcasts appearing on the feed. Oh, I know. When you search Is It Just Me on any podcast app, we are one of many that come up. It used to be one of five. So when we first did this podcast, it would have been the first couple come up. It used to be one of five.

So when we first did this podcast, it would have been the first couple of episodes. I think it was episode four. It wasn't brutal. We were very nice. And we did say, please give them a five-star review, but do mention us in the review. Don't slander these people because they're making a living. They're trying their hardest to be creative. However, we did tell you to go and listen and we played some audio grabs.

There are now, I think there has to be over a dozen Is It Just Me podcasts. Show me. Look, there's Is It Just Me, the Is It Just Me show, Is It Just Me podcast. Yeah, I don't recognise half of them. No. Is It Just Me, the motocross show. What? What? Is It Just Me or is diesel better than petrol?

Shut up. No one gives a shit. All right, well, let's bring that segment back. We're going to listen to all the other Is It Just me's and compare to us, see which ones are superior. Yeah. Let's do it next week. Screw it. What have we got planned?

Yeah, may as well. Let's do it next year. All right. And let's take some reviews. So we have Summer T. She says, best podcast ever. Summer. Thanks, Summer T.

Honestly, the best podcast I've ever listened to. Usually I can only listen to three to five minutes of a pod and I get so bored, but not when it comes to a couple of mitches. It's the highlight of my drive to work in the mornings. Ooh, we're beating traditional media here. Thanks, Summer. Puts me in such a good mood. Also, Jenna needs a raise.

Cry, laugh emoji. Thank you, Summer. Oh, I forgot to get the correct sound effect. Shit. Well, Summer, we will send you out a prize. It's all I've got. We also have Renton underscore P. Absolutely love the podcast.

Just started listening to it about two weeks ago. Been binging at work to drown out all the gross straight men. Makes my days go by so much faster. I probably look like a lunatic laughing away in the corner. I've caught up to date. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself. Love you, Mitch, Mitch and Jenna. Now the rule is if you hear your review read out on the podcast,

you've got one week to message us and we will send you a prize. Correct. We've got a big prize lined up for the next couple of weeks, but for now I'll just send you my bath bombs that I don't want. Because I was hoping that one of you would say, yeah, I love bath bombs and then I'd give them to you, but apparently you hate them too. So who wants me bath bombs?

Babe, I haven't found a bath that I fit in in seven years. I'm not joking. When Hayden and I went away to Benister's recently, I didn't fit in the bath. My ankles were bone dry after an hour soak. Anyway. Have we got mugs to give away though? We have one mug left.

One mug left. We've given the rest out. I've been, God, look at me, proactive now. I'm doing the show. I'm getting mugs out there. I almost don't recognise you. Before we move on, I do want to do one thing, Mitchell. I didn't want you to have this experience and think that no one cares for you. What? It's been a rough trot for you this week. It actually

has been quite tough, right? It hasn't been fun. It's been, it was a, it really crept up on me. It was a very weird surprise. Yeah. Well, we weren't the only ones, Jenna and I, worried about you. It was a very weird surprise. Yeah. Well, we weren't the only ones. Jenna and I were worried about you. And we just wanted you to know that our listeners love you and they have compiled some messages for you just to send some well wishes and some support.

Really? Now, he might lash out because he's on severe painkillers and his stomach is severely bloated, as aforementioned. But, Mitchell, this is Is It Just Me listeners. They've got a special message for you. So from all around the world, we've got this prepared. Really? Take it away.

Mitchell is awesome. Big fan from USSR. Wow. Wanted to wish you speedy recovery. Wow. Best wishes, love. I forget my name. I forgot.

So sloppy. love I forget my name I forgot so sloppy hey Mitchell it's Callum sending you lots of love and well wishes

what else have I got written down here I can reuse happy birthday oh no um but seriously I hope you're feeling

so much better um there are so many things that we couldn't do without you and we love you so much hey Mitchell it's Dr Gay here I hope you're feeling so much better. There are so many things that we couldn't do without you, and we love you so much. Hey, Mitchell, it's Dr Gay here. I hope you're feeling better.

All the best for a speedy recovery. Okay, love you, bye. You're welcome. Much more to come. Hey, Coombs. I understand that you are not quite well at the moment, and I want to extend my wish for your speedy recovery. Do not rush back to work.

I am personally looking forward to hearing you again on the podcast when you are well enough. Rest well. Love you lots. Hey, Mitchell. It's Candice here. Just wanting to send all my love and healing vibes to you. Love you lots.

This is produced well. Well done. Hey, Mitchell. It's Liam. I really hope you're feeling better, and if not, get well soon. I just wanted to sing a song I prepared for you, and I really hope it lifts your spirits. Bing, bang, bong.

Sing, sing, song. What? Bing, bang, dong. You, Kay, hun. Beautiful. Thank you. Hey, Mitch. I hope you're doing okay.

I know you can get through this. You can get through anything. You are strong and you will be amazing. It's a minor granger. Hey, Coombs. Heard you're going under the knife, so I just wanted to say my best wishes to you and hope you get better soon. I can't wait to hear you back on the podcast.

Coombs, all the best for today. Love your least favourite idiot. Also, I would love to offer dowry for Produce Jenna. What am I? I will pay in cow for that beautiful woman. Fans in Russia, wow.

Hey Mitch, it's your boss, Kieran. I can't wait for you to be back on the podcast. I also can't wait for you to be back in your actual job because I'm the one who has to sort out cover, spend heaps of money and I don't think you know the extreme lengths I have to go to to cover your arse at work. Enjoy your life, listen to this podcast and cringe

because you deserve it, because you've screwed us all over. Oh! Lovely words, lovely words. Wow. Isn't that beautiful? Got a tear in my eye. Me too. Actually, that's just sweat, sorry.

Yeah, same, sorry. God, at one point I was convinced, listening to that, that I had a terminal illness. I was like, I'm fine, everyone, that's just sweat. Yeah, same. Sorry. God, at one point I was convinced, listening to that, that I had a terminal illness. I was like, I'm fine, everyone. Calm down. I'm not dying. As I was making that, I'm like, fuck, what if he gets cancer? What am I going to do?

I'm going to have to bring everyone in. Wow. Is that you trying to make up for the fact that you forgot my Christmas and birthday presents on the podcast? No, not at all. Not at all. But we can stop talking about that now that I've done this. Well, that's very sweet.

Thank you, everyone. Everyone was kind of talking about like, oh, I can't wait to hear you back on the podcast as though it was assumed that I would have an absence. Oh, I'm here, bitch. I'm here. I don't know. Half those people. It was so hard to get them to.

You know what I had to do to get those messages? Yeah, what? I had to go live at 1am in Enduring Idiots. Really? And I'm like, hi everyone, Mitchell's asleep because he's just had surgery. He can't see this. I even messaged you on Messenger to be like, hey, I was sending you a lot of messages, making sure you're okay.

Yeah. But I did send quite a few in fast succession to make sure that you were out of it. Because then I went instantly live and there was maybe the amount of messages you just heard with the amount of people in the live. And I was like, send me voice messages and then we got it. I was going to kick you out but then I know that you'd know. How did you get one from Kieran, my boss? I approached him and made it happen.

Everyone's messages are very long. Sorry if you've been edited out. People have jokes but I've had to cut them to fit. Mitch's favourite song, Shania Twain. That Russian guy was great. That is today's day. We have listeners in the USSR. Isn't that ridiculous?

I know. Orson, I think his name was. That was very sweet, everyone. Thank you very much. But, hey, I'm not going anywhere. I'm still going to do this podcast, even if it means everyone having to come to my bed. Very true.

We'll still do it. We love you. All right, ready for Jenna's Junk? Absolutely. Let's go. Let's take a peek at Jenna's Junk, shall we? Now, Jenna's Junk is where all of our rubbish ideas go to live. Whenever Mitch and I are thinking,

what should I talk about on the podcast today? If ever we think, nah, that's no good, that idea sucks, we put it in Jenna's Junk and then she just brings it back to us. She fetches it like a little weasel. That's what I am. Especially because this is only, you know, episode three of season three. So over the break, my notes section was flooded with idjams, potential idjams. Yeah, I had a lot of junk, to be honest.

It's bursting at the seams, your junk, Jenna. I can smell it from here. Get that doctor's number. You might have to trim her up too. It's disgusting. You ready to dive in? Let's go. Here she goes already. Nice and quick.

Here we go. Oh, yep, yep, yep. This one. Is it just me or are childcare centres in the city way more pretentious? Oh, that's mine. I put that in there. In the city? Is this just like a Sydney thing because you're from a country?

Yeah, no. It's mostly just the names of the childcare centres. I've noticed driving around my local area that they've got really snobby names. Like they're trying to be something that they're not. Like what? Like To Be Me, Early Learning Centre. Or down the road there's Raising Stars Learning Centre. Or just a block from that you've got Guardian Childcare.

They all sound very grand and proper. Whereas back home you've got The Learning. They all sound very grand and proper, whereas back home, you've got the learning ladder. Cheeky cherubs. They've just got the most juvenile names, whereas in the city, they try and make it sound like it's something it's not. My little sister is a childcare educator. That's what she does.

And her facility is called Poppies, which is nice. But, I mean, that's quite standard. Poppies. And then they've got, like, Poppies Cater 2, Poppies, which is nice, but, I mean, that's quite standard. Poppies. And then they've got, like, Poppies K-2, Poppies K-3. Like, they've got different franchises inside Poppies. But I agree with you. I know what you mean.

Little cherubs. I know. Grub up. Smiling daisies. Don't make me laugh. Sorry. I agree with you there. All right.

Dive back in. Oh, God. These are bad. Yep. Okay. Is it just me, or did we all miss the 50 plus sunscreen memo? Definitely me. I thought 30 plus was the cap for so long.

What, really? Growing up, we never had anything more than 30 plus. I don't really know what the plus means. What does that mean? SPF? SPF. It's like the UV protection. But growing up, we had 15. I think that was like eight.

You had oil to tan yourself, which had nothing in it. That was like rubbing yourself in canola. Then you had eight and then 15 and then 30. And 30 plus was you're going to be in the sun all day, having a beach day, kids, put on the 30 plus. And then it wasn't until no joke. I mean, I'm not a beach guy. Look at me, Jesus Christ.

People go whale watching when I'm swimming. And I was literally at Bannister's on our weekend away in the break with Hayden and we had to get sunscreen and they had 80 plus. 80? 80. I was like, where were the scientists hiding this? They've got 80 these days, do they? Growing up, I was on 30.

I think the 50 plus thing is pretty recent. Yeah. Like within like. But is it a new development if they discovered how to add more in? 80 plus. It's ridiculous. But that should have been on the news. There should have been a press release. That's true, actually. more in. 80 plus. It's ridiculous. But that should have been on the news. There should have been a press release.

That's true, actually. We have found 80 plus. Don't you think? How high can it go? That's exactly right. There'll be 100 plus in 10 years. Because, I mean, you know how I feel about skin safety, like sun safety and all that, rash shirts.

Oh, of course. Coming soon. Yes. Not happening in March, which is happening very soon well it could be coming who knows anyway um yeah i i totally agree i never heard about it nowhere that's probably quite an educational issue on my behalf we're gonna go what else we got oh this is dumb is it just me or should bike seats be more comfortable by now oh that's another one from me uh they can you can add padding and stuff, though.

We've progressed past the pterodactyl big bike seats. You know, like a half triangle. They look quite like a dick. They've got the two little balls and then they go into a point. Bike seats should be more comfortable. I'm sorry. Society's progressed. I'm so sorry.

But how often do you go bike riding? These are all from personal experiences. Again, on my holiday, I just went on with Hayden. What were you doing on a bike? And it almost went up me. My cheeks folded over it like sourdough bread rising in the oven. It just folded down. It was horrific.

And surely we have got to a point where we can put a desk chair like I'm sitting on now on a bike seat. Why do they have to be petite? Because you have to pedal. I don't know if your legs would be able to have that same. I've got a bike seat. Why do they have to be petite? Because you have to pedal. I don't know if your legs would be able to have that same. I've got a wide gate. No, but you can't stretch your legs out to the same extent if you're on a desk chair.

Correct. But in saying that, make them circular. Make them a round pat-a-cake, you know, or add some padding. I don't want to have to buy the extra padding from a cycle store. Make them more comfortable. And they're always, such intense chemical grade rubber, but they're never soft. It's always so firm.

Like a perspex pool. Yeah. Pushes the poo back up. Yeah. It's awful. Anyway, that's my agent again. Sorry. She's diving back in.

Okay. Just quick. Move straight on. Stop. Is it just me? Or have you never been to a Bunnings sausage sizzle? Never in my life. That's just you.

I've never been. I've heard that they're quite good. Everyone raves about the Bunnings sausage sizzle. There's always boomer memes on Facebook being like, when you go to Bunnings just for the sausage. And I'm like, I've never had a Bunnings sausage sizzle. Well, the thing is, right, I make those memes. Yeah, I know.

And I've never been. Have you ever beenle. Well, the thing is, right, I make those memes. Yeah, I know. And I've never been. Have you ever been? No. Have you ever been? No. Never. Oh, my God. And make no mistake, I'm quite partial to a sausage sizzle.

Oh, yeah. At the best of times. But I've never been to a Bunnings one. Apparently, they stand out from the rest. You know what? I just had a brainwave. You know the Bunnings sausage sizzles aren't run by Bunnings. They just hire out the space.

You pay a certain fee to go there and you raise money for whatever you're raising money for. We could do an Idjim Bunnings sausage sizzle. Oh, my God, let's do it. And your first sausage sizzle could be one that you're putting on yourself. We could play the show in the background like we're a local radio station. I wonder what the – Jenna,keeper, Jenna, can you Google how much does it cost to hire out a Bunnings sausage sizzle for the day?

No, no, okay. I'm just going to read that. We're going to be the good cause. Oh, are you going to call them? Yeah, I'm going to call them. Oh, my local one is in Ashfield. Okay. All right, calling now.

This is brilliant. I feel bad because most Bunnings sausage sizzles are probably for a good cause. Breast cancer. The Lions Club. And we're like, our podcast. Local Boy Scouts. We can be brisk. Hey, Bob.

Hey, my name's Mitch. Quick question. I just want to know if we wanted to put on a local sausage sizzle out the front for a charity or, say, a podcast. Yeah. Is that something we can organise through you? Is there a price associated? So you just actually send through an email requesting, obviously, with all your information

and we'll get back to you. So I can give you the email. Yeah, that'd be great. That's cool. So I'm just recording a podcast right now, just letting you know, just so you don't think, oh my God, what's going on. Okay. No, it's all good.

Cool. So the email, when you're ready, is caringbar at bunnings.com.au. Awesome. And is there, do you know if there's a fee involved at the top of your head or no? I don't think so.com.au Awesome. And do you know if there's a fee involved off the top of your head or no? I don't think so. Like I'm not sure but like I've never heard about there is one. And are you doing them in COVID at the moment or no? Yes, there's one on today actually.

Oh my god, how great. Okay, cool. I just had one, it was delicious. So we do a podcast, right? And we were thinking, one of my co-hosts is like, I've never been to a Bunnings sausage sizzle and I was like, oh my god, So we do a podcast, right? And we were thinking, one of my co-hosts is like, I've never been to a Bunnings sausage sizzle. And I was like, oh, my God, let's do our podcast live from a Bunnings sausage sizzle, right? Oh, my God.

That would be the best thing ever. Wouldn't that be the coolest thing in the world? That would. All right. We're going to do it at your franchise, and we'll get you one. You can come on the show. We can have a great day. My name's Mitch, and we'll make it happen, okay?

Well, it's so good talking to you, Mitch. So good talking to you. Thank you for your help. Hope to see you back in store anytime. I'll send you an email. Thank you so much. All right, bye. See you.

Bye. Thank you. It's happening. It's happening. It's happening. Wow. It's that easy, huh? It's that easy.

You got the email, producer Jenny? Yep, I just sent it through. Okay, great, great, great. She was so keen and very happy to have us. We need to get one of those wacky inflatable arm flailing tube men. Oh! Oh, my God, this is going to be a whole thing. Oh, my God.

This is a story arc. Okay, we need to, if anyone's listening and they, because we have a wide range of listeners, awesome, from Russia, if you have a flailing arm machine or if you've got a smoke machine or anything you can donate to us for the day for our bunnings, a marquee some flags i mean let's start with the basics a barbecue i'm sure that'd be included did you ask yeah she said we'll send an email and it's free all you do is you book it in advance and the money you make

goes to a charity so we might have to choose a charity to we might have to choose my phone's connected sorry guys oh um we might have to choose a charity to fuck was that? My phone's connected. Sorry, guys. Oh. We might have to choose a charity to donate to, but we can cross that bridge when we get to it. Maybe bloated fags for appendix. Don't make me laugh. Boys who were shaved without their will. Unconsenting shaved dick boys. That's a beautiful charity.

Oh, that's a nice one. I think we'll go with that. Do you want a bit of TMI? Yeah. They've shaved pretty much everything except for just like one mo, just kind of above. Oh. You've got like a everything except for just like one mo just kind of above. Oh, you've got like a landing strip. And you know how I feel about mo's. It's literally

like, it's like a massage width. That's how much is there right above. Oh no, no. Is it long? Like is it the normal pubelength? Is it like a waterfall falling down like a tassel? How long are yours? No, but they can get long.

TMI, TMI. Alright, she they can get long. Tee them up. Tee them up. Anyway. All right. She's jumping back in. Okay, here we go. Oh, we love a tangent. Oh, there's so many bad ones to choose from.

Is it just me or is baby corn farmed purely for Thai dishes? That's a me one. Answer me this. When was the last time you had a baby corn Outside of a Thai venue Answer me You've got a point I don't know Have you Mitchell

Not that I can recall You don't get them at Aussie restaurants You don't get them at cafes They're always in a pad see you What do you mean a baby Oh those tiny little things The baby corn They're always floppy and soggy

No that's not fair They're also at Chinese restaurants Okay at Asian restaurants. Asian cuisines. Asian cuisines. That's it. That's true. Where else do you use them?

I feel like Jane might throw them in her stir fryers occasionally, but it's probably a satay chicken, which is what now? Asian. Yep. I think you buy them in a can. I don't think they're like in the fresh produce section. I've never seen. I've never picked one. No, I've never picked a baby corn.

No. I used to pick carrots and beets at my Alma's house when we were young growing up. She had a yurt. Your who's house? She lived in a yurt. My Alma. Who's Alma? Alma. My grandmother. She's Dutch. Oh. Should we call her? No. I mean, if you want. I'll call her. Yeah, can we? I can't believe I'm half Dutch, you know that. No, I didn't. That's where my female breasts come from. All that marzipan stolen I've eaten as a child.

Alma is Dutch and she is. This is not the nan that we've called before. No, this is Alma, my dad's mother. Dutch, she's been single for 45 years. Her husband cheated on her, left her, and now she's single. Well, hello, Missy Turi. Alma! How are you?

He's good. Works much the same. Shaved his head now. Got rid of the perm, which was a good choice, right? Didn't really suit him. He's so lovely, isn't he? He's so cute. He's such a cute guy. He loves you.

He's a lovely guy, I know. You're both, Alex. Yeah, we're nice, but we can bite. We can turn. Are you still in the same place? Yeah, we're in Glebe. Yeah, still in the same place, but we're looking. Yeah. We can turn. Are you still in the same place? Yeah, we're in Glebe. Yeah, still in the same place, but we're looking at upgrading to somewhere bigger. It's just a bit tight. I mean, you've been there. It's a bit cramped.

Yes, it is a bit cramped, you know. Yeah. Yeah. A bit small. But it's lovely. Yeah, it is nice. You've got it really nice. Yeah, we have.

I'm sending love and I'll see you soon. Okay, love. Thanks for your call. Anytime. Anytime. Love you. Bye. Bye. Isn't she good? She's amazing. That's Alma. God, you and your family, you're all horrifically pleasant. She would not say a bad word about Hayden no matter how

hard you tried to lure her in that direction. No, she's a bit rough, Alma. Rough around the edges. She's Dutch. She speaks her mind. She's very rough, but very sweet on that phone call. I think she knew she was being recorded. She was Miss New Holland. She was a model, supermodel to the world. Because there's Holland, then there's New Holland.

Should I call my mum and confirm? New Holland is the brand of tractor my dad drives. Really? She wasn't the face of the tractor. She was Miss New Holland, the country. Because now they're Switzerland. What are they now? Netherlands, Netherlands, Netherlands.

Why do you always reveal these bizarre facts about yourself on the flight? It's so weird. And it sounds so false. Like the scars on my face, but it's all real. Why does someone message me? My name is Miss World Holland. I'm calling, Mum. Sorry.

There's been a lot of phone calls. No, don't. No? No, we'll get bogged down. Yeah, true. All right, let's move on to Jill. Oh, it's ringing. What a shame.

She'll be stressed. Yes. She knows we're recording. Hi, Nick. Hi. Very quickly. Was Alma Miss New Holland? Yes.

Yes. Supermodel. Miss New Holland. Yeah. Mitchell didn't believe me. I never said that. Miss New Holland. All right.

We have to go. Much love. Okay. Bye. See ya. Sorry about that. Okay. Hang on.

Hang on. Before you go rummaging through your own junk again. Sorry about that. Okay. Hang on, hang on. Before you go rummaging through your own junk again, Jenna. Put your hands in there. I don't know what about my face tells you that I don't believe you, but you don't need to do phone calls to verify everything you say. I'm calling my mum just so she can back me up. And I'm like, I never actually doubted you. I'm sure your fucking Alma was Miss New Holland.

I never said she wasn't. I just said, how the fuck do you have all these facts just hidden away? I felt questioned and I wanted to prove it. I'm calling my mum to back me up and I'm like, grow up. Yeah, because some people do make up shit. Don't dump on me. Okay, I'm bored. Her hand's stuck in her junk.

I want to go in. It's already in. You don't need to go in. Just pull it out. There's no place Jenny would rather have her hand than her junk. Tell me about it. On your bed too. Never thought I'd see that.

Shut up. Is it just me or would healthy Harold be very upset with you? Okay, anyone listening that has kids in the car, you might want to use that 30-second skip button once or twice. It's a skip forward just in case there's spoilers alert that you might not to use that 30 second skip button once or twice it's a skip forward just in case there's spoilers alert that you might not want infants to over here but i really feel like that puppet's watching over me every time i'm doing some sort of illicit substance at a party i'm just like oh that fucking he knows what's going on the giraffe do you remember when that

stupid giraffe puppet it was in a van it came in a van with its face all over healthy harold do you remember when they used to show you that diagram where it was like it would show you this is your brain sending a signal to your finger and the light would travel from the head to the finger yeah and i was like this is the normal speed this is when you're on drugs super slow super slow and you're watching that dot just go between the head and the pink finger and i'm like i feel that every day like right now on painkillers i i feel like I'm that diagram where everything's just going that little bit slower. Also, that sounds like bliss.

I'd love my mind to run a bit slower. That sounds fantastic. Give me the MDMA health. It's his first name. So Healthy Harold for Internationals was like a youth education on health and drugs. Yeah, they used to cart this giraffe puppet around in a van to every school.

And do you know what? They used to always start giraffe puppet around in a van to every school. Do you know what? They used to always start at Bougainvillea Public School. So the first week back in January, we'd get there and the life education van was there with Healthy Harold and some old broad would put her hand up that fucking giraffe's ass and be like, Here's Harold. Harold, are drugs bad? What are you whispering in my ear? He says they're bad.

Our drug's bad. What are you whispering in my ear? He says they're bad. And so we just get educated on everything health-wise back in primary school about this stupid fucking puppet giraffe. Yeah, but they made it so much fun. I used to buy the merch. I used to buy the merch too. I got a Healthy Harold yo-yo.

Yes. I got a Healthy Harold slinky. I think my friend had the pencil case. Why didn't we get Is It Just Me slinkies for Merch March? Oh, we fucking should. There's always next merch march. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah, healthy Harold.

I feel like he'd be sorely disappointed in my behaviour these days because I'm not the healthiest I could be. Aside from the fact that I'm currently bedridden, that's different. Yes. I wrote that itcham just when I was being drunk every day. But like he can talk, he's being perpetually fisted in a room full of children. In a van. In a van. Also, how old is Harold? I'd perpetually fisted in a room full of children. In a van. Disgusting.

In a van. Also, how old is Harold? I'd love to know. I'd love to know too. Disgusting. Groundskeeper Janet, Google it. Google how old Harold is while doing your own segment. Do it all.

Wait. This one's dumb, so I'll do. Okay. Is it just me or is dust a mystery? That's old, yeah. What? Where does it come from? I don't know.

Where does it go? Why does it exist? There's air. Why is there dust? Browns Cooper Jenner, are you going to get an answer to that? Why is there dust? No, I'm looking up how old. It's healthier.

Oh, we've moved on from that. We've moved on, but I reckon 70. Oh, no. He was probably like a mid-naughties creation. Early, early thousands. He was probably 20-something. How old was he he was born in 1979 oh my jesus he's in his 40s so what what else did you want me to look at what

is dust what why why dust now while you google that mitchell your cat isabella my best friend is at my feet she isabella give her a pat be Isabella, come here. She's going into her bed in your bedroom corner. Oh, good girl. Isabella, you're a good girl. Put these little cat headphones on. Hey. Oh, she's just run off. She didn't like that. Hello. Alright, Jenna. Why is dust? I just don't get it. Your room seems dust free. Well, Jane has been visiting, so that's why. Does she dust? Well, she has been visiting, so that's why. Does she dust? Well, she did because I'm bedridden.

What's the purpose of dusting? You just put it on the floor, then you've got to fucking vacuum. Just vacuum the table. That's what she did. You don't vacuum a table. But you don't... What is it, Jenna? She's got the answer. Her eyes lit up.

It just says dust is made up of a variety of things from blowing dirt, bacteria, pollen, pollutants, moulds, animal dander, hair, insects, fibres, dry lint, insulation, dust mites, excrements. You've got such a way with words. And mostly skin flakes that humans shed. So Hayden's skin and faecal matter is on the top of my TV unit. Yes. You're telling me that little particles of poo are scattered throughout my bedroom.

Yeah, but they're not necessarily your poo. It could be insect poo. Oh. Slater poo. That's an Is It Just Me on the Fire. Is It Just Me or where did all the slaters go? What? Remember slaters growing up?

Slaters? Yeah, slaters. The little bugs that would roll up into a ball. Oh, I can't hear you. When you'd scare them. I've got no idea what you're talking about. And then you'd touch them and they'd go. Jenna, Google it for God's sake. Google it, fucking slater.

I'm ill. I can't look it up myself. I'm not going to edit this out, Mitch. Mitch is going to listen to this episode. Slater. I'll do it. No, I'm looking up slater. Can you put your phone on silent if it's connected to the fucking system?

Sorry, everyone. Oh, it's giving me slater from saved by the bell oh a slate is harmful slate a bug slaters normally live in the garden slate a bug oh you've never seen a slider not that i can recall they're not that memorable oh i know when they they roll up into the little ball when they roll up like that you scare them and they go anyway i used to have them all the time as a kid in the garden and maybe I was making mud pies, but they're not around anymore. Sorry.

All I know is that in this year, in the summer of 2020 to 2021, the cicadas have been out in full force. We had to shut your windows. Open that window. You'll hear them. They are just unrelenting. You have to grab the thing. Oh, i don't

want to get up so i know for a fact that the cicadas weren't this loud this time last year i've spent a summer here before and they're not usually that bad but they've just been persistent and so fucking annoying this year and i thought that cicadas used to chirp. Didn't it used to be like a... But now it's just this constant unwavering... Like there's no end. They're learning. I hate a cicada. Also, we have frogs where we live.

In Glebe? In Glebe, yeah. Really? Yeah, we're near the water. What water? The ram sheds. The ram shed? You mean the tram shed? Yeah, that's the water. What water? The tram sheds. The ram shed? You mean the tram shed?

Did you like your little montage of your wishes? That was very sweet. I need to know, if this hadn't been an option, if I wasn't open to this, had you considered who would fill in for me? I hadn't actually. Okay. I mean, a lot of people, I did post on the Injury and Idiots when I had Facebook before it was terminated. And Pretty Sam was thrown into the mix. Yeah, thanks for that.

That made me feel so much better when I was crippling in pain, watching everyone talk about my death. I said feared dead. I didn't say dead. Someone wrote you a poem about being dead. That was grim. Someone said Hayden. I could bring Hayden in to host the podcast.

Sure, why not? I don't care. If I'm not there, you do what you want. Who knows? We'll have to wait for another ailment. God, your feet are in my face. Sorry. You're sitting at the end of my bed and I'm sitting here.
