Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:26 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.
Starting point is 00:00:44 Who? Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. G'day, guys. Welcome to the show. How are we? Mitchell, don't leave me hanging. Hello. God, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:00:55 I'm here too. Hi, Jenna. Yes, our third wheel groundskeeper Jenna as always. God. Yeah. What's up, yours? Oh, I'm in a fucking foul mood this week. I had noticed.
Starting point is 00:01:04 For no reason whatsoever I've just woken up on the wrong side of the bed Is that metaphorical Or is that something that actually fucks people off Waking up on the wrong side of the bed Because you actually share a bed with your boyfriend I feel like that would be quite a hassle You roll over him
Starting point is 00:01:18 If I woke up on the wrong side of the bed Hayden would be dead He'd be killed And poor Hayden was like I woke up very grumpy. He's like, can I make you breakfast? I'm like, shut the fuck up! Wow.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Oh, my God. I didn't. I didn't, truly. But I'm just in one of those moods. No one can cheer me up. No one. I needn't bother then, all right? Don't even try.
Starting point is 00:01:38 I was going to say, am I going to have to try and fill the void and be really cheery and positive? Because that's going to be very difficult. You're going to have to be me. I wouldn't bother. Jenna was in a foul mood last week. Now it's your turn. It's making it really difficult for me to find my place.
Starting point is 00:01:52 If I'm not the bitch of the piece, then what am I? Some bubbles too. Okay, well that'll cheer you up, surely. I feel like we've been drunk more often than not so far. Okay, is this for our 60th episode? Oh, it is our 60th, isn't it? Yes. Surely that'll put a smile on your face.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Oh, it should. Cheer up. No, I'm still sad. Happy 60th, though. Yeah, you too. Don't even have any music to celebrate. I've got to tell you, 60th's not that special an occasion. I did Google it.
Starting point is 00:02:21 I was like, what is 60th tradition? Oh, okay. A bit slow. Oh, the music. I did Google it. I was like, what are 60th traditions? Oh, okay. A bit slow. Oh, the music. I'm not. Oh, I already had it on the wall but I forgot, so it's here. I did have it. Sorry, everyone. Yes, what's the celebratory prizes?
Starting point is 00:02:35 Not much. I was like, are there any 60th traditions for, you know, 60th birthdays, 60th anniversaries that we could, you know, take inspiration from? And fuck, I found the most boring gift list of my life. It's like, oh, here are some gift ideas for your 60th wedding anniversary. Because there are gifts you're supposed to get at the different tiers, right? Like 10 years is wood and then 15 years is like.
Starting point is 00:02:58 Yes. Well, if we're going off anniversaries, our 60th episode, if we're treating that like an anniversary, we should be getting a letter from the Queen for starters. Also, it's like the diamond anniversary, so where are me diamonds? Oh, true. Anyway, this is the gift recommendations that I found for 60th anniversaries for couples
Starting point is 00:03:14 to give to each other. A new front load washer and dryer to help keep the home tidy. Oh, dear. A comfy new mattress to give you and your loved one a better night's rest. That's quite nice. I like that, yeah. A treadmill to keep you and your spouse in shape.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Oh, that's a bit rude. This is fun. A vacuum cleaning robot that will keep your floors clean. A Roomba! These are things that I get excited about now. I'm not waiting for 60 years of marriage. Oh, I wish I got that when I was 16. Imagine getting to 60 years of marriage with someone.
Starting point is 00:03:47 This was probably written for a heterosexual couple, so a man and a woman, and getting given a Roomba. Getting given a fucking slow cooker. I'd be furious. You'd think that they would actually have all these things already. Like, have they gone 60 years of marriage without a mattress? Finally, we can buy a Sealy Posture Peter, mate. Why are you complaining? On my 60th,
Starting point is 00:04:06 I swear, burnt at the stake in front of 2,300 people. Wow, what an odd amount of people. We get it, Jenna. You've lived multiple lives, we get it. Anyway, cheers to our 60th episode, everyone. Cheers, guys. Cheers.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Now, coming up later today, you might remember last week, Mitchell said that he, you know, being a radio announcer, is really good at hitting the post. I never mentioned being a radio announcer. Oh, no, you don't like to remind us at all. You mentioned that you're really good at hitting the post, which is a term they use for when, you know, how radio announcers talk over the intro of a song
Starting point is 00:04:41 and they stop talking as soon as the lyrics start. Yeah. Sounds really slick and smooth. You were like, oh, I can do that without violets as soon as the lyrics start. Yeah. Sounds really slick and smooth. You were like, oh, I can do that without violets. It's in my genes. Yeah. Well, we're doing a hit the post challenge. I've got a couple of songs that are a little out of your comfort zone to see if you can
Starting point is 00:04:54 just feel it in your waters. Yeah, I think I can. As a gifted radio announcer, see if you can do it. I'll be grumpy doing it. Here's Rihanna. Enjoy. Kiss. All right.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Well, that's coming up later on. And another thing, guys. Hi. We recorded, well, that's coming up later on. And another thing, guys. Hi, we recorded this separately. Jenna's not in the room. She's in the bathroom doing her shit. So this hit the post challenge that we're doing later on in the show. It is that, but it is also another round of this. Gaslighting Jenna.
Starting point is 00:05:22 We got her good. What's a little bit of mental turmoil between friends, you know? We love to make her question her own sanity. What we're going to do in this Hit The Post challenge is give Jenna a go and we're going to play a song with no lyrics and see how long it takes
Starting point is 00:05:38 her to realise that it's just an instrumental. Yeah, it's an instrumental. So where the post starts, there's nothing. There is no post. And so we're going to see how long it takes her to realise. She's going to start going insane, being like Instrumental. Yeah, it's an instrumental. So where the post starts, there's nothing. There is no post. There's just no. And so we're going to see how long it takes her to realise. She's going to start going insane, being like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:05:50 Where are the lyrics? Where are the lyrics? Exactly what we want. All right, enjoy. So that'll happen later on. Where were we? Plus, I have another mispronunciation. It's been a while since we've had a mispronunciation.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Yeah, and you know what I've noticed? Like, the world is loving mispronunciations. There's TikTok trends for mispronunciation. You had another one about gorilla or something or yogurt. What was it? Oh, Prince Harry said that his son's first word was crocodile. Yeah. And he goes, three syllables.
Starting point is 00:06:16 And I was like, isn't it four? Crocodile. Yeah. Apparently I'm wrong. And every time I refresh my Instagram, I get more comments saying, you're wrong, you're wrong. And I'm like, it's been two weeks. I get it. I'm wrong. You're wrong.
Starting point is 00:06:27 People love it. People love mispronunciations. I've seen heaps. So is this one an extra syllable or just a mispronunciation in general? Mispronunciation in general. Great. Okay. It's the same amount of syllables.
Starting point is 00:06:37 It's from a Brit, a Brit in power, mind you. And it is so simple. Let's bring it back to basics. Right. Okay. This is a word that no one should be mispronouncing. Fuck! Move on!
Starting point is 00:06:50 Can I just say something, though? On the topic of mispronunciations, the most infamous one on this show is, of course, when you added an extra syllable to the word blinds. I'm not on purpose. Blinds. You've just always said blinds wrong your whole life. And I said it's two syllables because there's two claps.
Starting point is 00:07:06 Blyans. Yes. Well, I've been inundated with comments, like I just mentioned, and apparently I've been counting syllables wrong my whole life. You're wrong. You don't do claps, so Blyans. Yeah, we were all taught in school. You put your hand under your chin, sort of like a little,
Starting point is 00:07:23 like a centimetre away from your chin. Like you're posing for a photo. No, yeah, there's a gap between your chin sort of like a little like a centimetre away from your chin. Like you're posing for a photo. No, yeah. There's a gap between your chin and your hand and then you count how many times your mouth touches it
Starting point is 00:07:31 as you say the word. So, lions. It touched it once. Oh, let me try. Blind. Lions. I've got two chins that touch six times.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Doesn't work for everyone. Well, apparently that's how you measure syllables. So, crocodile. I still only touched it three times. Three times, you're right. With my chin. Crocodile.
Starting point is 00:07:48 My life's a lie. Fucking Bogengate Public School. How did you teach me the wrong way? Well, we have another one coming up later in the show. We will get to it. Let's start, though. If it is your first time listening, this is Is It Just Me? Brought to you by Red Rooster.
Starting point is 00:08:01 You can try the new crunchy fried chicken today. Oh, God, you've got to. It's so good. And I'm getting ads for it. Must have heard the crunch in the car on the way home. I am too. I got a Red Rooster roll the other night on the way home through drive-thru. The same drive-thru that is near your house.
Starting point is 00:08:16 I'm so proud of you. You went out of your way to go to Red Rooster? It was a 20 minute detour. Peak Howard traffic. Crunchy Fried Chicken's amazing. So guys, you just have to try it. I got to tell you, you know how sometimes when you get takeaway fried chicken, the crumb kind of just falls off
Starting point is 00:08:30 and it's a bit soggy? It's like a shell, yeah. The synergy between the chicken itself and the actual fried, the crunchy fried chicken crumb. Oh, it's just something else. They get along, baby. They fucking work hand in hand.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Yeah, they really do. We are so enthusiastic about this chicken, guys. Also, it's not oily at all. No, it's not. So it makes you feel better about yourself. Guys, you just have to try it. If you haven't, go and get it. Let's kick off the show the same way we do every week.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Is it just me each? I have one, Mitch has one. It's something that we notice, something we hate or appreciate. I'm going to go first because this is something that Hayden won't shut up about and something that people really have embraced in this country. Married at first sight. No. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Is it just me or? Do you think Bryce from Maths is the biggest dickhead this country has seen since Harold Holt? I don't know. I don't know the dickhead. He just went missing in an ocean. I know. What did Harold Holt ever do? He went missing. Please. He was lovely to me. At a packed beach. What a dickhead. That's not fair. Don't compare Bryce
Starting point is 00:09:38 to dear Harold. Maybe they named a pool after him. How ironic. They named a pool after the Prime Minister that went missing from swimming. Oh, that's horrific. And also off topic, how they're putting a pool on the rooftop of the Cecil Hotel where Elisa Lamb drowned. Oh, not are they? Yeah, they are.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Oh, my God. Anyone back on? Sorry. Wasn't a good analogy on my part. No, I'm happy. We've dug this hole. Let's just sit here for a while. The Titanic.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Let's talk about other iconic drownings. What did you make of that? That's like your dad having a heart attack, then you're naming your firstborn after him. Or naming your firstborn Cardiac. Like, it's a bit odd. Cardiac. Anyway, Bryce is a knob.
Starting point is 00:10:23 I don't watch Married at First Sight, but from the clips I've seen and from what Hayden has told me, he's obsessed with the show, he has to for work, people are talking about Bryce. Now, if you don't watch Married at First Sight, it's an Australian reality show. We pioneered the concept. It's actually pretty big. It's getting some massive ratings.
Starting point is 00:10:37 And it's on at the moment. Essentially, you go in blind, man and a woman, you get married on the spot, and then the rest of the show is the fallout from there. And so-called experts pair these people up accordingly because they think they'd be good matches, but 99.999% of the time they want to kill each other. Yes, I agree.
Starting point is 00:10:55 So these experts are dickheads. Very toxic. Anyway, one of the characters is Bryce. Now, we've all worked with Bryce. This is where it gets interesting. We have. I was really quite shocked to see that he's been really painted as the cockhead of this year's Married at First Sight because I don't watch it.
Starting point is 00:11:14 I'd rather be dead, quite frankly. I hate the show. Yeah. And I was really shocked that Bryce is like the token asshole of the season because he did used to work in the same building as us here at the radio station. There was only a week where he and I overlapped. I was the new kid and he was so sweet to me. I still remember it.
Starting point is 00:11:33 He was like, oh, hey, mate, I'm Bryce. How are you? Oh, blah, blah, blah. He was so welcoming and so lovely. He was one of the only people that spoke to me that day and I was really grateful for it. And so I was like, wait, is Bryce a cunt? I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:11:44 It's because he thought you were a woman from behind he never turned around he was talking to the back of your head for four years yeah he's a bit of a ladies man isn't he that's the problem he's a bit of a ladies man the accusations are he's on the show with a lovely woman who's never been in a relationship before and he had a girlfriend when he went on this show the rumors are all we can speak to is what we know about him he was a right knob he would walk past me in the hallways and not make eye contact i'd say hi he would ignore me that's all like it's all i can say we never had a real in-depth conversation but the tension was palpable heaven forbid someone doesn't grovel at your feet when you show them a glimpse of attention i gotta
Starting point is 00:12:20 say he is a social climber from what i feel i I didn't get a good vibe from him. What do you mean? I just didn't get a good read on him. I just, I got real, uh, I'm here to advance my career. Which we all are, but you can make friends along the way for God's sake. Um, and I just feel like he was very cutthroat, ruthless, this is what I want. But obviously
Starting point is 00:12:39 the same argument comes up every year when this putrid show airs. Oh, the editors manipulate them. So maybe he's not as awful as everyone thinks. I don't know. Here's the thing. I posted an Enduring Idiots that we knew him. People were very hot and heavy. They wanted to know more.
Starting point is 00:12:52 So I did some digging. Bryce left our workplace. Kind of suddenly. He wasn't here for that long. Mitch was very upset, sobbing at the doors. Come back! I think he was here for seven months. Yeah, probably seven months.
Starting point is 00:13:03 And all the accusations about mystery girlfriends and side hustles and girls and dating many women at once happened after he left here. So I've tracked down an ex-employee that worked with him at the radio station he moved to after in the time period where all the allegations occur. Oh, so she's been colleagues with him more recently than us. Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Straight after he left here, hopped on a plane to another city in Australia. So Anonymous, who is joining us now on the phone, and I have applied a voice decoder. Actually, it will be applied in post. Oh, you need me to apply. You need me to disguise their voice in editing, do you? Thank you for letting me know. What do you want me to do to their fucking voice? Well, I don't want to be sued.
Starting point is 00:13:44 We don't want to lose the one sponsorship we've got. How would you suggest I disguise their voice so that they can't identify? Make it a chipmunk. Make her sound like Alvin. Oh, that's going to be annoying. And Alvin the whole time. Oh, how cute was Theodore? He was the right royal dick to me.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Theodore. It's my co-worker Sally. All right, I'll disguise the voice. They're on hold now, Anonymous. Thank you for being here. Thanks, guys. Oh, the voice Ooh, The Voice. Decoded for safety.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Anonymous, you worked with Bryce straight after he left ARN, which is where we all worked with him. Can you speak to the rumours that he had a secret girlfriend and he was crazy to work with and he was a dick and he was rude to co-workers? Are the rumours true? Pretty much exactly the same as your experience where I worked with him. And the secret girlfriend is very, very true.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Secret girl. So did you just know the secret girlfriend as the girlfriend? Or was he very open in, oh, this is my secret girlfriend? Yeah, we met her as the girlfriend originally. And didn't know that he was going to be going on Married at First Sight. And then when he was about to leave and told everybody, we asked about it. And there was this kind of understanding that she was under the impression he told her that he and the Married at First Sight wife would be in agreement that it wasn't going to be a romance thing. That it would just be that they would help each other and their careers by faking it, and then he would get back with the girlfriend
Starting point is 00:15:08 at the end. Oh my God. Oh my God. So you think production knew that as well? Like the maths producers must have known this going into filming. Yeah, I think that if not, they did figure it out because he went to hit on another contestant at the gym and she rejected his advances, that's Beck, and then he told her about his girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:15:35 See, that happened to us here. Like, he was hitting on so many people. I won't name the names, but producers on shows that I worked on were like, oh, have you seen Bryce around on the edge side? He's so cute. He wants to, you know, he's kind of flirting with me. I'm like, I could have sworn he had a girlfriend. So many stories.
Starting point is 00:15:52 So he's definitely just a sleazebag, right, Anonymous? Yeah, well, I mean, he was engaged to his fiance and he slept with a bunch of people during that. It's been established. And I'm pretty sure moved to Canberra for his job and was still engaged when he met the secret girlfriend. But the secret girlfriend didn't know that. Jesus Christ. So was he a real right old bastard to work with at Canberra? Because he was on air, right? And I think the main point is he just wants to be famous. That's why he's doing all this, yeah? I don't think he was ever there. That's the big thing.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Like, he was filming it, and then he ended up quitting. He wasn't very much there, but there was a lot of drama all the time, except from what I've heard, that everywhere that he's worked ever has just been issues, and he never did it anywhere long. Jesus. Wow, that explains a lot.
Starting point is 00:16:43 So he wasn't fired from the same radio station that you were at with him? No, no. That's a rumour that's untrue. He did end up resigning and then going to Melbourne. Jesus, it's getting messy, isn't it? So he really isn't on there to find love, which is the premise of the whole show. Shock horror. Reality shows aren't exactly what they say to be.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Oh, no way. I mean, everyone's saying, what? He's on there to be famous? He get more Instagram followers? No, he's looking for a wife. Of course. I feel sorry for that poor wife, don't you? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Yeah, well, she seems actually quite sincere, which makes it even harder to watch now and realise that because you know how much he doesn't care about it or anyone, really. Oh, do she wait? She'll have a high-sm smile sponsorship on her Instagram stories. You know, wait. She'll be like, use code Maddie, whatever the fucking name is.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Mitch is very quiet. Sorry, tunnel. No. Mitchell just hung up on Anonymous. Mitchell. Sorry. You're not into it. I just, I wish I was. It's just a very lonely experience during math season
Starting point is 00:17:49 to be one of the few people in the nation that doesn't get it. And it's not that I don't want to get it. I've tried. I desperately want to get it, but I just can't get it. Who's Bryce's wife? I don't know. I don't know. She sounds like a fucking halfwit.
Starting point is 00:18:05 If she's on this for sincere reasons and is acting somehow surprised that she was paired with a douchebag that wasn't actually there to find love, he could have gone on fucking Tinder or something if he wanted to find love. Of course he was there to boost his own career. I didn't learn anything new today. I've learned nothing new. Yeah, but you were so rude to Anonymous. I feel dumber.
Starting point is 00:18:24 I feel dumber Poor Anonymous Also the wife has never had a relationship Her first ever relationship She went on a national television show for her first ever Relationship I feel like I have had this conversation every year You just swap out the name Bryce with I don't know Kevin or something
Starting point is 00:18:41 It's the same thing every year Oh my god Kevin was such a douchebag to his wife What the fuck it's the same show every year. Oh, my God, Kevin was such a douchebag to his wife. It feels so bad to her. What the fuck? It's the same show every year. I know. It's true. That's true. I hate it.
Starting point is 00:18:50 You educate us with your itchim. Are you ready? No. Have a rooster roll and calm down. Let's take a break, guys. Take a tight five. No, no, no. I can do it. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Let's go. Is it just me? Oh. Do you just not find farts funny whatsoever? Definitely. Oh, no, I think they're very funny. I knew it. You're one of those types.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Oh, stupid. I'm one of those types that will just, like, let off a little fluff in your office chair and just sit there with pursed lips ready to break out in laughter. Who's going to smell out in laughter who's gonna smell it first who's gonna smell no and then when someone goes who farted you go that is not me no that's not me it's just it's funny with hayden and his family but no that's just no no that's worse why they don't amuse me at all. Don't.
Starting point is 00:19:46 That's so funny. The weird thing is that I find burps hilarious. Oh. I love burps. They are fucking the funniest thing ever. The reason I brought this up, though, is you know Wendy Williams. Oh, the problematic talk show host. Is she problematic?
Starting point is 00:20:00 Yeah, she's very problematic. Yeah, not good. How so? Oh, she has some very interesting opinions on gay men and trans people. Oh. Yeah. I'm not aware of this. Okay, well, anyway. She's entertaining, but she's problematic, which is fine. You can have the two, but yeah, she's got this.
Starting point is 00:20:19 She said some things. Well, if you're a Wendy Williams hater, feel free to point and laugh at this little mishap she had because she not only farted on air, but seemingly burped and farted simultaneously. Which, let's take a moment to acknowledge, quite impressive. I couldn't if I tried. Yeah. I couldn't if I tried. I just don't have the timing or like the precision to pull something like that off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:43 A burp and fart simultaneous here's the audio she probably got five new boyfriends we haven't caught anybody coming out of the house yet but you know just a matter of time she's not lonely i cannot i apologize i apologize what absolutely vile bitch she is let me me do that again. I need to hear it again. Probably got five new boyfriends. We haven't caught anybody coming out of the house yet, but, you know, just a matter of time.
Starting point is 00:21:13 She's not lonely. I apologise. See, the fart is just absolutely revolting in my eyes. But the burp, I find it so funny that she had the confidence just to let out a belch on an international TV show. The thing about that is it's pre-recorded. Yeah, I know. It's not even live.
Starting point is 00:21:33 They could have edited it out. They made an active choice to leave that in. That's not the first time she's farted on air. What a sentence. There's this one time that she actually was visibly leaning as though to let the wind escape from her buttock. And this one was fucking putrid. Listen to this.
Starting point is 00:21:53 But you can't even do that locker room thing. That cop wasn't playing that. I mean, you're lucky you only got battery. Wow, that's a definite fart. It's like the last post, isn't it? Yeah, it is. Yuck. Give her a bugle.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Absolutely revolting. But anyway, farts I don't find funny whatsoever. My brother finds them hilarious. Were you ever cupcaked as a kid? No, I can't cupcake. That's not funny to me. My brother would cup his hand as though he's holding, like, you know, a stress ball and then he would fart into his hand as though he's holding like, you know, a stress ball and then he would
Starting point is 00:22:26 fart into his hand and just kind of waft it into your face. And you wouldn't think it works but it does. I don't know. I wasn't good at science. It just works. I don't know how he carried the gas in my direction. It just worked. I've done it before. It's very hot as well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Farts are fucked, right? But burps, hilarious. My sister, on the other end of the spectrum, she had this amazing talent, I believe she still does, for burping on cue. And I thought it was the funniest thing as a kid. Your sister? Yes. Even to this day, I get her to do it because it's so funny. My sister, who is so wholesome and pure and innocent.
Starting point is 00:23:05 She's a family-friendly mum. Yeah. You know, you wouldn't suspect her to be the type that lets out these monstrous birds, but I find them hilarious. So it's weird. I love birds, hate farts. I can't picture it coming out of her. I want to hear it.
Starting point is 00:23:17 I've been to her house and it's very clean and well kept. I think I want to hear it. I don't know if she can still do it though, because this is when we were teens. I want to hear her justify I don't know if she can still do it, though, because this is when we were teens. I want to hear her justify it as well. Disgusting. Please, please. I really want to hear her. Can we call her?
Starting point is 00:23:32 Yeah. The kids should be in bed, so let me. Well, they're about to be woken up, aren't they? Seriously, it's that bad. Is it? Yeah. No. You wouldn't expect such a fucking monstrous noise to come out of that dainty little girl.
Starting point is 00:23:46 I'm picturing like a... Yeah. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. But on the spot, how does that even... How does it happen? I'm going to call her on Facebook because she has shit reception where she lives. Connected to here. Um.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Oh. What the fuck was that? Sorry, I slipped on the mouse. Having a bad day. Oh, the Prosecco's really perked you up, I've got to say. I'm in a great mood. I'm half cut. I'm not even pooting myself.
Starting point is 00:24:12 All right, here we go. Dialing. Your sister. You'll never look at her the same again after this. Hello? Oh, hi. It's us. We're all on the podcast. We're recording, by the way. Hi, Nicole. We're all on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:24:25 We're recording, by the way. Hi, Nicole. You're live. Hi, Nicole. I was just boasting about my admiration for your talent for burping on cue. So they were very curious to hear if you could do a live demo. Yeah, I just can't believe it. You, Nicole, you're so beautiful and young and fresh and vibrant.
Starting point is 00:24:44 I just don't picture you burping on command like a sea clown. I don't believe him. I'll give it a go, but I don't know if I'm quite up to my old standard. I'm turning our microphones off. I want to get every ounce of burp. Here we go. All right, I'll see how it goes. Oh, my god!
Starting point is 00:25:10 Oh god, it's been so long. You know the weird things that siblings do to amuse each other? We used to do this game where it was like, hey Nicole, what's the shortest amount of time between me saying, do a burp, and you actually getting one out? We got to like half a second. She can do them like that. It's so funny. Nicole, do you have to like suck air down or is it already like just there?
Starting point is 00:25:27 Is there a reservoir of burp ready to go? It's a weird technique. It's hard. Like I tried to teach Mitchell heaps of times. I can't do it. I don't know how to explain it. She's like, you just swallow air. Yeah, but it's not like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:39 It's a weird kind of swallowing. I don't know how to explain it. Well, Mitch does that very differently. It's a similar thing, but yeah, it's going in and out. Can you tell us about the first time your husband heard you belch like that? He was absolutely horrified. It was our wedding night. I was still in my gown.
Starting point is 00:26:00 I chose the chicken instead of the beef. I hadn't even cut the cake yet. I just sat down. Oh, my God. Do you do that sometimes if the kids aren't paying attention? Now, kids, mummy wants you to clean up. Kids. Kids.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Princess Fiona. Maybe I should give it a go sometime. All right, well well that's all I just wanted you to show off your party trick Thanks for impressing everyone Nicole can you take us into our Little break with the biggest burp you could possibly do Oh my god
Starting point is 00:26:36 Oh I don't know that's a lot of pressure No it's fine it's just us on the cloud We'll let you take us into the break Thanks for coming on. Oh, that's so awesome. Oh, my God. You're listening to Is It Just Me? Stop acting like bitches and follow a couple of Mitches.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Yes, that's us celebrating episode 60 today. Reminder, we're all half drunk, to be honest. I'm a little tipsy. Mitch, are you? Oh, no, I'm good. I'm good. I can hold my liquor unlike you. Yeah, no,
Starting point is 00:27:08 I am a lightweight and that's surprising considering I'm morbidly obese. Rach Hage, I think is a little bit tipsy, especially when she wrote this review. Instant serotonin.
Starting point is 00:27:18 The Is It Just Me podcast I ridiculously adore. It gives me a good chuckle and much needed serotonin boost. Mitch Coombs has crazy similar taste to myself. Taste in what? Never have I ever come across someone who also listened to Miley Cyrus
Starting point is 00:27:30 and her dead pets unironically. That's what she means. That's Miley's album that her label refused to let her release because it's just so drug-filled and insane. You showed it to me. Parvlo the Blowfish. Yes. She uploaded it to SoundCloud of her own accord
Starting point is 00:27:45 because she was like, oh, I've made all this cooked music. May as well release it myself. It's so funny. Rach, I'm going to send you out something. Well done. Thank you for the review, Rach. Thank you for the review. We also have TC345, which is a robot apparently.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Literally the best podcast ever created. This is the best thing since sliced bread. Cry face emoji. I've been listening for about six months now and can't get enough. Unfortunately, I live in a town where the epicentre is in fact not the delectable Red Rooster, but is in a place where we have the local pub. Can't wait for next Sunday
Starting point is 00:28:11 to listen to more quality context from Mitch, Mitch, Jenna and pretty Sam. Yay! Sam got a shout out even though he's not here. No, no, no, she got that wrong. It is contraceptive diaphragm Sam. I forgot that was his new nickname. I don't want to have to remove your prize, but no, you've got it.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Well done. We'll send that out. We're all thanks to Red Rooster. Don't forget, the new crunchy fried chicken is available at Red Rooster now. Of course. If you hear your review read out on the podcast, you've got seven days to get in touch with us and let us know, and we'll send a prize your way. If you've got a Red Rooster, we'll send you vouchers so you can eat like a pig.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Yeah. If you don't, it's all good. We'll send you some merch. We If you've got a red rooster, we'll send you vouchers so you can eat like a pig. Yeah, 100%. If you don't, it's all good. We'll send you some merch. We got you, Dallin. All right, should we do a mispronunciation? Oh, a new one. I can't wait. Alliance.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Oh, there were so many unknowns. Micro YV. No. Yeah, kind of famous for this now, aren't we? Oh, that's a bit much to say, don't you think? We've got a lot of mispronunciations under our belt now. Yeah, we do. It's become our favourite
Starting point is 00:29:05 thing. People always tag us in mispronunciations that they spot online. Some of them are shit, so we don't bring them up. But please keep tagging us. Yeah, please do. And our blinds is our original which we mentioned at the start of the show. We got a new listener this week who posted in our secret Facebook group saying that I found the show
Starting point is 00:29:21 based on the blinds TikTok. There you go. It's still threatened. The gift that keeps on giving. This week, I found the show based on the blinds TikTok. There you go. It's still threatened. It's so cool. The gift that keeps on giving. This week I found one, guys. It's such a simple word and it's so easy to say. A word that we probably all say on a daily basis, if not here, but this is said by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson.
Starting point is 00:29:41 You know Boris? I did not know that he was the Prime Minister. I know the name, but if you said to me hey, who's the Prime Minister of the UK? I would have had no fucking idea. Who would you have said? Ollie years! Jessie J! Jessie J!
Starting point is 00:29:57 Hermione Granger! Oh no, it's Boris Johnson, who's very Republican and we do not like him. He doesn't like our type. Anyway. What do you mean, our type, Mitchell? Handsome and successful! He was on radio in the UK, funnily enough,
Starting point is 00:30:14 when this conversation about food came up, and the host asked him if he'd tried any vegan foods. That's when this blunder happened. if you'd tried any vegan foods. That's when this blunder happened. I've also eaten vegan sausage rolls. Have you eaten a vegan sausage roll? I've not, but it's meant to be a monster hit for that bakery chain. It's going to be a lot better.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Vegan. Vegan. Vegan sausage rolls. He sounded repulsed. He's like, I have tried vegan sausage rolls. He had to take a pause in the middle of it. Vegan. Vegan. Who pronounces pause in the middle of it. Vegan? Who pronounces it like that?
Starting point is 00:30:48 No idea. And I haven't felt this strongly about something since I saw that interview with Harry and Megan. I haven't. I honestly haven't. I was disgusted and I was like So, who are you voting for in the federal election? I didn't even think about that.
Starting point is 00:31:09 That's a good one. Not ScoMo, though. He is terrible. Yeah. You can't vote him in again. No, Jenna. Again. No.
Starting point is 00:31:24 You know what my guilty pleasure is? What? You get two bits of bread. Again. No. You know what my guilty pleasure is? What? You get two bits of bread. Yeah. You butter it. Mm-hmm. You put some tomato sauce. You love that.
Starting point is 00:31:34 And then you slap some Devan. Devan and tomato sauce sandwiches, baby. Couldn't agree more. Yeah. I'm going to give that to my grandmother when she eats sandwiches, you know, because she's getting up there. She tends to choke on eats sandwiches, you know, because she's getting up there, she tends to choke on her food, you know, which is awful. It's such an awful thing to be in the room with someone who's choking.
Starting point is 00:31:52 I don't want to give it to my nan because then she chokes and she'll end up dying and then, you know, she'll end up in heaven. That was a great story. Thank you so much. I mean, that's a great story. No, it's not, Jenna. His grandmother choked today. It's my grandmother. A great storyteller. Thank you. Thank you. I've been told that before. Not Alma, though's a great story. That's not Jenna. His grandmother choked to death. It's my grandmother.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Great. Storyteller. Thank you. Thank you. I've been told that before. Not Alma, though, by the way. Honestly, I don't know what we were thinking the day that we decided to invite Jenna Bent Sand to the team.
Starting point is 00:32:16 As soon as you suggested her, I said, nah, we'll have her. No question. We'll take her. That's good. Can you actually Jenna I think Jenna's very hard to impersonate But why don't you give a go at your best Jenna impression I don't know what's the
Starting point is 00:32:35 Common Jenna expression I don't know a lot of aggression Often times Often comes with a weapon We're really going on. This is going on to 11 minutes. We really should. I was about to say 11.
Starting point is 00:32:49 Was it funnier than mine? I was trying to think of a way to weave it into a sentence. I was going to say I was really, really thrown when they moved Neighbours from Channel 10 to 11. I had to retune my set-top box. I agree. You know, I'm worried about COVID. Why? And what it's going to do to people and the economy.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Yeah, my uncle thinks we're heading into a recession. Your uncle sounds like a bit of a Karen. Karen! Oh, look over there! A lesbian! I don't know why he'd say that. Lesbian! Yeah, why would he say that?
Starting point is 00:33:21 Couple of lesbians! God! One more time, just to get the juices flowing. I've also eaten vegan sausage rolls. Vegan? I've not, but it's meant to be a monster hit for that bakery chain. So stupid. Mitch, how's your...
Starting point is 00:33:37 Sorry, we really need to move on, but how is your depression? Oh, that's a fucking loaded question, darling. God. You should have said loaded question, darling. Gosh. You should have said loaded question. What an expression. What an expression. Okay, this is too much. I agree.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Ready to launch a brand new segment? Oh, I'm ready, bitch. Bring it on. How is it that I can always hit the post? Sure, Jan. Oh, I haven't heard that. Always hit the post, he claims. I can.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Mitchell Turi of Kiss FM radio fame. Put it on my tombstone. They say hit the post in the radio world. What they mean is that little thing that radio announcers do when they talk and talk and talk over the song as it's playing. They talk over the instrumental. The intro, yeah. But then when the singer starts singing, they shut up
Starting point is 00:34:23 and it's perfectly timed. It sounds slick. It sounds slick. It sounds polished. Yeah, 100%. Spoiler alert, a lot of the times that is voice tracked and they can edit it and make it sound slick. But to pull it off live as you do is a bit tricky. Very true. And in my show, which is live at night, often it has been pre-recorded, but every night I am live.
Starting point is 00:34:39 I have to hit the post. I press a button, the song starts, and it counts me down. And I've got to hit the post. It's what I do every night for a living. It's quite a difficult skill to master. I wanted to give you an example from this very studio where the Kyle and Jackie O Show broadcast. Oh, where I'm sitting right here is where Kyle speaks every morning.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Correct. He's very good at it. So this is some off-air audio I have of when Jackie hit the post by pure accident, right? Because she doesn't usually talk into the songs. That's Kyle's thing. Yeah, that's his thing, yeah. Listen to how excited she got when she hit the post perfectly.
Starting point is 00:35:13 DJ XXXL right now out of our LA Kiss Studios. And what's in my mouth coming up next? You want to play 131065? Oh, Jackie! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I hit the post! I hit the post!
Starting point is 00:35:28 You're amazing. She was so excited. That was very good, though. She got a Nintendo Switch for Christmas. After 20 years. Yeah. Actually, more than 20 years. She's been on air 26 years.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Wow. She still gets excited when she hits the post, so it's a very difficult thing to nail, and you made the claim, you wee young radio announcer who's been on air for five minutes. You made the claim last week. Oh, I always hit the post. I always manage to hit the post.
Starting point is 00:35:55 So here we are. This is the hit the post challenge. I'm going to see if you can just, if you've got a sixth sense for when the song's about to start and when you can shut the fuck up. And you know what? If I fail, I'm okay with it. Are you, though? No, not at all.
Starting point is 00:36:09 I'll be terrified and upset. No, even worse than I was at the start of the show. All right. Well, let's see if you hit the post in this song. I've chosen one a bit left to field. This one is Knowing Me, Knowing You by ABBA. Oh, no. Good one.
Starting point is 00:36:21 So this is a bit out of your realm. I love the song, but I don't know how it starts. You've just got to feel it in your being as like a radio guy. You'll feel it in your waters. You'll know when the lyrics are coming. All right. All right. Okay, live across the country for your Wednesday night.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Free pregnancy tests on the way after 11. Plus we're playing a couple games right now. Ah, fuck. That's hard. That's hard That's it But it has to You know what, this isn't fair It has to be songs that I would feasibly play on Kiss Okay, what about
Starting point is 00:36:52 Anywhere by Rita Ora Oh, I love that song Okay Oh, that song just starts straight off I thought I was going to get you there No, I'm not done Is it just me? Go, nail it, nail it
Starting point is 00:37:04 That's a point, I'm not done. Is it just me? Go, nail it, nail it. That's the point. I'll take it. What about Mother's Daughter by Miley Cyrus? Oh, that's a good one. Oh, you know what? We did play that. That's off her latest album. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:37:14 That's off one of her albums. And we did play it for a little bit, but it got dropped from the playlist. Yeah, well, there's been newer stuff come out since. All right, let's jump in. All right, good segment, Midge. Love that, Jenna. Coming up, Red Rooster Reviews. Leave a five's jump in. Alright, good segment, Mitch. Love that, Jenna. Coming up, Red Rooster Reviews. Leave a five-star review. We'll read it on the show. Now
Starting point is 00:37:30 some Miley, Mother's Daughter. Not all for the most reason album, funnily enough, but I do love it. Here at Is It Just Me? The podcast. Coming to you live and free on the iHeartRadio app. Ooh, you cut it very fine there, but it's still a pass. Commercial radio, that's what we do.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Oh, definitely. Why don't you try it if you think it's so easy? I don't think it's easy. I've never done it. Really? You've never been... Didn't you do a gay radio show at one point? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:56 You didn't forward announce songs? No, I did, but I never claimed that I nailed it. Sometimes I did, and every time we'd go, oh, how good was that? Okay, well, I good was that? Okay. Well, I'm going to give you a curveball. We'll do a song that you know and love. Oh, okay. Because this is, bearing in mind, I've never claimed to be good.
Starting point is 00:38:11 So if I know it, that would be helpful. Yes. Midnight Sky, Miley Cyrus. Sure. You love that song. A lot of Milies today. Let's see if you can nail this and hit the post. All right, guys.
Starting point is 00:38:21 So that's all we've got time for here on Is It Just Me? Don't forget, Merch March is officially underway. So make sure you head to the link in our bio on our Instagram, at Couple of Mitches, to make your pre-order for our jumpers, stress balls, tea towels, whatever you want. This is Is It Just Me?

Starting point is 00:38:38 Oh! Very good. That was very good. That was very good. Very, very good. Wow. What about you, Jenna? You reckon you could do it?
Starting point is 00:38:45 No, I don't want to do it. I think you could do it. No, I don't want to. I think Jenna would be great. I don't want to do it. I actually think Jenna can be good. She can sort of talk out of her ass. No, I can't.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Do you really think she would be good at this? I don't know. We have a song that is infamous. This song has been played. Just go into it with blind confidence, Jenna. Correct. Are you going to pretend you're on radio while this podcasts? I'll pretend I'm on radio.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Yeah. All right. So all you have to do is just keep talking, and then once you feel the lyrics are there, that's when you stop. Yeah. All right? So no dead air. You don't have to keep talking until you hear the lyrics.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Okay. Now, this is a song that everyone knows. We're trying to help you out. Just speak when the post, when the lyrics start, okay? Okay. All right. Let's see if Jenna nails it. Here we are.

But I meant if you're growing it long, you have to go through the feral phase, and that's me with feral hair. Yes, I know what you mean. It's very sort of, I did world's greatest shave,
Starting point is 00:42:39 but now I regret it after a year and a half. That's exactly what the energy is. God, and look at my prepubescent acne. Jesus Christ, that's before I could grow stubble. Anyway, that's on the Is It Just Me Instagram page. Loads of goodies there. We also upload some behind-the-scenes goss to the Endurant Idiot secret Facebook group.

Starting point is 00:44:15 dress ball yeah and they told us how tight the race was and i was just i was stunned because i was like i thought i was going to be a clear front runner because you were clipping at my heels. I really was. And so I thought, game on you fucking dog. I'm going to do a little push on my TikTok, my Facebook, everything. I did one last minute push on Instagram
Starting point is 00:44:37 begging everyone to buy my stress balls. Sold out, bitch! I'm sold out. Is it just me, stress balls? That's alright. That's okay because that doesn't mean I've lost. I have until the end of Merch March. I do. There was never any T's and C's. In all fairness, you don't have many tea towels left.
Starting point is 00:44:53 No, I did get that email. And I'm not going to say how many, but we only need a few more sales. And then we are even. We've both sold out. Yes, we will have both sold out. Of course, I should point out that you only were selling 50 tea towels. I was selling 4 million stress balls, and I sold them out. Yes, we will have both sold out. Of course, I should point out that you only were selling 50 tea towels. I was selling 4 million stress balls and I sold them out. No, no. Listen,
Starting point is 00:45:10 the tea towels are more expensive and I contacted the manufacturer and they said, oh, we got a last minute email from Mitchell Coombs who said add an extra $4! I did not. We had no say in the price actually. We had no say in the pricing. But anyway, Merch March is we're getting to the end of March, guys. Get your orders in if you want a jumper.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Also, thank you for everyone genuinely who has bought Merch so far. I mean, it's not like we're making billions here. We're going to move into a new penthouse property. Speak for yourself. I feel like Kylie Jenner. My stress balls are the new lip kits. They've blown up. What is that?
Starting point is 00:45:39 I've sold billions of them. My tea towels are like Jane Fonda's workout videos. Collecting dust. Yes, we're not making any. So you know what? It supports the podcast. It supports us putting an episode up each week. Fuck, I am drunk, aren't I?
Starting point is 00:45:53 I'm like emotional. How embarrassing. He's supporting us. Oh, now he's tearing up. He's already vulnerable. He's in a foul mood. We need to end. The rash of Tamsil.

Or follow on Spotify. In a foul mood. Someone had to speak. Well, you cheered me up. I'm in a great mood. Great. Well, you're listening to A to D Brief, guys. This is the secret segment on the end. Correct. Nothing's planned.
Starting point is 00:46:51 Nothing is scripted. Where the whole show before is word for word written out by our producer, Jonathan. You've never heard of him, but he does. Yeah, we have a typing pool. Yeah, we do. Genevieve, Tristan, Jeremy. They're all great. Bronson.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Yeah. Bronson, thank you so much for all those jokes you came up with. All the jokes about the mispronunciation of the B again. That was not my original comedy. I love all the things that Tilly came up. Oh, when Tilly called and said, Wendy Williams has fart burped. Can we pay an
Starting point is 00:47:18 actress to play Mitch's sister and pretend that she burped and it was a childhood thing? Brilliant. And I said, if you want to do that, then do it. I do as I'm told, darling. Yeah, and then I- Well done, Tilly! I was having the best day of my life. And then we had TK Maxx call and say, pretend to be in a bad mood.
Starting point is 00:47:33 And I thought, that's brilliant. Can you imagine actually being that heavily produced? I'd hate it. Oh, it'd be awful. You know what's actually funny? I have just wrapped filming a television show, television episode, and I had an in-ear piece. I had to wear an in-ear monitor like in that morning show with Jennifer Aniston and her beautiful bronzed legs.
Starting point is 00:47:50 And they tell you 90% of things. They're like, that's enough. No. You're carrying on now. They would do it mid-sentence and try to produce me. So I can't give away too much, but I was doing a show with Sophie Monk and a show that she's hosting. I was hosting with her. And they'll go, oh, um so if you go oh look what they're doing now and i'll go
Starting point is 00:48:08 oh my god i can't believe it don't say that mitch i can't believe they're not they're doing it that they're not it was it's such a fuck around so hard so you're talking and they just interrupt you they were in your ears yeah every time i've worn an earpiece i've been like is this thing on because i i expect them to be i expect them to interrupt me more. Yeah. Like when we did Studio 10, I've done Sunrise and stuff, and I'm like, they basically just go, 10 seconds, Mitchell, and that's it.
Starting point is 00:48:33 And then I do it, and then they're like, and you're clear. Thanks, Mitchell. Well done. I expect them to be in my ear going, no, you can't say that. When I hosted the Arias, it was a live broadcast, so it was like live to air. We had credit lines to give. And they'd go, all right, we're in an ad.
Starting point is 00:48:49 30 seconds to air. All right, meet you at Sophie Monk. Now bring Sophie Monk on. Four minutes to fill, then Delta. Great. Welcome back. We're reading off the teleprompter. We're here with Sophie Monk.
Starting point is 00:48:56 Sophie, so good to have you here. Rap Delta's in the room. Rap, 30 seconds left with Sophie. I just said hi! Oh, my God. Jenna's like, I've had voices in my head for years yes that's like when i was on studio 10 and you know the voices are like that was a goat it was all scripted very true i feel like upon easter show season we need to make that happen
Starting point is 00:49:17 again for those who haven't seen it oh you've got to repost that photo in our facebook i will so you you shepherded some shepherded. It was, wasn't it like to promote the Sydney Easter show? Yes. And you were herding goats on Studio 10. Yes. We've got people, Mitchell. We can make this happen. We do have people.
Starting point is 00:49:33 You know what? I actually, I had an idea. Mitch and I were talking in the week and there might be some Easter show related content coming up. Oh my God. Really? Who knows? Well, not anymore.
Starting point is 00:49:43 Why's that? What? Now she knows. Oh my God. Are we doing Easter show themed? Who God, really? Who knows? Well, not anymore. Why's that? What? Now she knows. Oh, my God. Are we doing Easter show themed? Who knows, Jenna? We named a roller coaster after you. I'm flattered.
Starting point is 00:49:52 It's called the... But when I was on Studio 10... The rat track. With the goats. Anyway, with the goats... Why does it sound like a rat? Shut up. The rat track.
Starting point is 00:50:01 I'm explaining my Easter show experience. The claw cage. No. No. Anyway, I was told. The haunted mansion, but it's just a meritan service apartment. It's not service. Boo.
Starting point is 00:50:16 You opened the front door. I was explicitly told not to be on camera, right? But you know this one goat decided to run towards me. One of the rooms is you picking her up from work but never arriving. Jenna stands in the cold every morning. Anyway, Jenna, I get where you're coming from. When there's a fucking Billy the Goat that's about to charge Ida Buttrose, you've got to dive in the way.
Starting point is 00:50:40 Billy the Goat. And it was just It was just after Ask Iter That segment She was in the middle of her life at five Yes So it was straight after that A brain tumour can be debilitating
Starting point is 00:50:56 That's actually what happened I can imagine And so Jenna stepped in like professional she is And she goes not on my watch you fucking goat So is that actually what happened? The goats went rogue? They charged. Yes.
Starting point is 00:51:09 They charged. Charged their talent fee? And on live television, Jenna was like, bullshit, I'm going to take care of this. And there she was. Not on my show. Plain as day. On camera. Yep.
Starting point is 00:51:20 With my uniform on. The producers were furious. It was a disaster. An absolute disaster. But, you know, heroic for me. You know, was Joe Hildebrand there that day, host of the show? Yes. Because he's a friend of the pod.
Starting point is 00:51:31 We could call him and see if he remembers the moments before the goats stormed the stage. I don't know if he'd remember because it's quite possible that we embellished the story slightly. No, it's not embellished at all. He's like, yeah, I remember. The segment was brilliant. Nothing went wrong. He's like, the goats slightly. No, it's not embellished at all. He's like, yeah, I remember it. The segment was brilliant. Nothing went wrong.
Starting point is 00:51:46 He's like, the goats were quite behaved, actually. Took one home. They were naughty goats. Oh, we laugh. Anyway. It's a true story. There's one thing we do, it's fucking laughed, because it just stops you from bursting into tears.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Oh, my God, that's such, like a wooden frame on someone's fridge. Like a middle-aged woman's fridge. It's like a house made of wood. If you don't laugh, you'll die. Oh, and it's hanging on like those string things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rustic string. They're like, oh, a fucking chuckle a day keeps the doctor away or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:52:17 I don't know. Is that it? Yeah, that's it. That's exactly what you're talking about. God, that's really funny. Apples are the best medicine. A wine a day keeps the doctor away. Is that real?
Starting point is 00:52:31 Oh, funny. Anyway, this is ADD Brief. Welcome. That's all I have to say on that. I thought we had established that. Yeah. Really? Yes.
Starting point is 00:52:41 What would I know? Episode six, you guys. Trying to forward a nap mat. Itch him! Or in the break. This is Izzy Just Made the Podcast. Hope you're enjoying it. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Oh, we laugh. We laugh. Let's listen to that Wendy Williams crap again. That's brilliant. You try to do a grab and I'll do that. Ready? You're going to do what? Well, this is an example.
Starting point is 00:53:13 We actually have that audio. Joe Hildebrand just face tuned it to me. Face tuned? That's the audio of the moment the ghost stormed the stage. Have a listen. Help me, oh my goodness. That's a grab. What do you have a grab of, Mitch?
Starting point is 00:53:30 I have exclusive audio. Yeah. It was PowerPointed to me. Yeah. From Richard Lavender, husband of Samantha Armitage. Yeah. It's exclusive audio of the sigh of relief she let out when she finally left the Channel 7 building after quitting Sunrise.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Take a listen. Wow, that is... Thank you, Richard. That's huge, Jenna. That's big. That's really interesting. Wow. I have some audio, too, that's just someone habo-hoteled it to me.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Sorry, someone club-penguined it to me. Sorry, my error. Someone club penguined it to me. Hang on. I feel like someone actually could club penguin it to you. You can't club penguin an audio file. Bullshit, Jenna. Where's your laptop? Club penguin me something.
Starting point is 00:54:18 The only thing you can send on club penguin are puffles. Do you want to remember puffles? No. Not at all. Club penguin. Do you know this is a true story puffles? No. Not at all. Club Penguin. Do you know this is a true story, guys? How did you say Penguin? Penguin.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Penguin. Club Pancreas. Club Penguin. Do you know this is a true story? Club Penguin doesn't even exist anymore. No, shut down. Shut down. My little sister, Rachel, this is a true story, was groomed by a pedophile in Club Penguin.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Virtually? Yeah, virtually. Virtually. By a penguin. I feel like you can't use the word groom without clarifying that it was virtual. What do you mean? Because when you say she was groomed by a pedophile,
Starting point is 00:54:53 that sounds like a horrible situation, like she was caressed at the library or something. No, groomed is a word, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but I pictured some actual physical skin-to-skin, not COVID-safe contact happening with a pedophile. Because this on Club Penguin blocked the bastard. I'm calling my sister to prove it.
Starting point is 00:55:08 You don't believe me. No, I believe you. I'm just saying your terminology is shocking. I won't be laughed at and told that I'm a liar in my own family. Liar. You're a liar. I'm not doing it. Hello.
Starting point is 00:55:17 Hello. Sorry, I'm with Mitch and Jenna. They don't believe me that Rachel was groomed by a penguin on Club Penguin. No, you said pedophile. Yeah, she was. You said pedophile. It was by a pedophile, right, Becky? Yeah, 100%.
Starting point is 00:55:28 Because she came to us like, oh, I've got an online boyfriend, and then we went back and the messages were like, show us your igloo, etc. Yeah, and then remember, Dad was like, why is my black MX getting all this Club Penguin money taken out of it, and she had to come clean. Yeah, she went, oh, I'm sending puffle bucks to... Yeah, and she was like, the penguin made me do it. Oh, yeah, and we all thought she was lying.
Starting point is 00:55:50 And that's the same period that... It was around the same time as the lesbian horses. Lesbian on horses, yeah. What? What's this? The cherries are a different breed, aren't they? The what? Becky, so someone...
Starting point is 00:56:02 Mum and Dad sat me, Becky and Rachel down because someone had Googled. And they said lesbian horses. Disgust. No, someone Googled horse lesbians. But it was like L-E-S space. Beans. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Yeah, someone Googled horse lesbians. And was your father, Mark, sitting there sweating bullets knowing it was him? Yeah, because we got, like, infiltrated with those. Remember back in the day you'd get all the porn ads? Yeah. And you'd get them off your screen and it'd be like, it'd be like, danger, danger.
Starting point is 00:56:29 Yeah, it was like Lois from Family Guy sleeping with Homer Simpson, like really weird niche porn ads. No, it was just Cobb Penguin characters. Oh, God. Yeah, she was groomed by a pedophile and that's what inspired you to go into the biz, right? Yeah, that's it. Oh, thank you, Becky.
Starting point is 00:56:44 And good luck. Congratulations, guys. Becky got engaged to her fiancé. Yay! Congratulations, Becky. Well done. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Thank you. It's all very exciting. It is exciting. We could do an OB from the wedding broadcast. We should. Yeah, you could. Could.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Mitch is not impressed By that I was like I'm not invited Do I just linger What's that Yeah you're not watching maths No
Starting point is 00:57:12 We've done a whole maths episode We had someone That worked with Bryce And revealed all the goss To us on the show Oh we hate him I'm just watching him now It's amazing
Starting point is 00:57:20 Yeah I couldn't agree more Drama's unfolding Alright well we love you Good to chat We'll talk soon Alright we love you too Have fun chat. We'll talk soon. All right, we love you too. Have fun.
Starting point is 00:57:27 See you, Kurt. See you, see you, see you. Becky, cheer in my sister coming to us live from LinkedIn. Now, what I'd love to know from Bebo, what I'd love to know is... Pass the Prosecco, please. Sure. Please. Sure. What I'd like to know is how has your sister,
Starting point is 00:57:52 who is, from what I can gather, very intelligent. She's a bloody pedo hunter, isn't she? Well, we can't really give the... Yes, she works in the sex crimes department. She's a pedo hunter? Yeah. Well, pedo. I think it's pedo, is it? SVU.
Starting point is 00:58:04 SVU, Laura Noda. She's Mariska Haggerty. Anyway, from what I can gather, she had to bludge her way through law school, which means she's got a brain on her. How exactly is she the type that sits down and watches Married at First Sight and doesn't think, this is thoroughly beneath me? It's lighthearted. Because I'm dumb as dog shit, and even I'm too smart for maths.
Starting point is 00:58:23 Yeah, but maybe she wants something laid back and relaxing where she doesn't have to think. Watch d light-hearted. Because I'm dumb as dog shit and even I'm too smart for maths. Yeah, but maybe she wants something, you know, laid back, relaxing where she doesn't have to think. Watch darts or something. After a long day of catching pedos, maybe she just wants maths. Guys, it's light-hearted entertainment and she's always loved reality shows. We grew up watching
Starting point is 00:58:39 Kardashians together and that's probably it. Okay. The Kardashians, not gonna lie lie, very good switch off show. Great switch off show. If I'm ever feeling like I've just, oh, I've been too smart today, which happens often. Please. I do pop on Hey You and just watch some Kardashians.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Did you ever watch those episodes they did? I've seen every episode. Oh, so you would have seen the ones they did during lockdown when they weren't allowed a crew because, you know, everyone was working from home. The cameramen weren't allowed in their house. So they were filming on selfie sticks and stuff. It was so bad.
Starting point is 00:59:13 It was so bad. It was like watching YouTubers vlog. It's like you don't have a life, really. Outside of you and your selfie stick, you've just got nothing happening. Do you remember Vlogmas? Did you ever do Vlogmas? I believe I did. How do you explain Vlogmas did you ever do vlogmas i believe i did how do you explain vlogmas what was it again it was one video vlog every day until christmas yeah in december right yeah yeah no yeah i did vlogmas i did it it was like an
Starting point is 00:59:35 advent calendar it was like a big zoella thing it was i would love to go back and watch your vlogmas i think i unpublished a lot of things when I got my job here at Kiss for fear of people like you going back and watching my old awful videos. Jan has probably seen them. I think I've seen them. Should we do Podmas? A daily podcast every day of December. We could pioneer it. In the lead up to Christmas.
Starting point is 00:59:57 It's probably been done but we'll pioneer it. Podmas. Podmas. I like it. And what do we do every day? A pod... Say things into a microphone. Talk. We do it every week, actually. Fuck, that's a brilliant idea. We should call it podcast.
Starting point is 01:00:15 I don't understand what? No, but it's Podmas. Guys, I'm about to have a stroke. Mitch is like, for some reason, I can't feel my left arm. It's weird. I feel tingling. That happened to me the other night. I'm like, I don't think I'm having a heart attack because I had two chicken and cheeses
Starting point is 01:00:29 an hour ago. I know you've been sleeping on your arm. And I went, oh, that's right. Wait, so you had two chicken and cheeses and then within that hour fell asleep on your arm. God, what a rough day. You were such a catch. You know, if I search Mitchell Turi on YouTube,
Starting point is 01:00:45 the first five videos are Mitchell Coombs videos. Really? Look, Mitchell, I'm in the first three. Wait, what? Here, me and you in the car doing that sketch that did very well. Then there's the Bogengate tour when you search Mitchell Turi. Yeah. Then there's me filming my dog Hamish on the golf course.
Starting point is 01:01:01 What about California Girls? It's so weird because you have nothing to do with those videos. No, nothing to do with those videos. No, nothing to do with those videos. Oh, we're just bloody jointed the hip. What about California Girls video? Mitch Chewry's better. Here is Cavoodle and Cavalier chewing thongs, which I published in 2004.
Starting point is 01:01:17 Can you write in my name? I bet nothing comes up. You know, if you search, ready, badass sparkler bomb, you will get a video. Sorry, what? If you search the video, badass sparkler bomb, you will get a video of me and my best friend at the time, Wade, building a sparkler on a pontoon on my birthday.
Starting point is 01:01:41 What? Here it is. That sounds dangerous. How are you? Can you please tell us what we're about to do all right well there's 1826 sparklers in this bomb gift for the game that's me that's not a petite wait is that you anchoring you you speak first off yeah i'll start it again my cousin goes mitchell cheery what do we have here? We're on the pontoon.
Starting point is 01:02:05 I built a bomb, an actual bomb, for the last month. Wade came over every day after school and we'd add more chemicals to it. I stole a strip of magnesium from the science lockers in high school and added it to it. Wait till you see this explosion. The whole family, we had family fly down from Brisbane to see this viewing. We'll continue. Mitchell, Churi, how are you?
Starting point is 01:02:23 Can you please tell us what we're about to do? Alright, well there's 1,826 bucks. Sound like you now. Wade and I have created and it cost $550 and we're ready for it to explode. Is the flash on? No, no, no, there's no
Starting point is 01:02:40 flash. Is the flash on? You sound like a woman on the phone making a complaint. Wade and I have just been through your drive-thru. That we created. That my tech dollars pay for. Can you two please come around and just watch this bomb go off? I'm not even joking. You have to see it.
Starting point is 01:02:55 Hang on. You're going to have to really dumb it down for me because you were saying like magnesium and carolevium and all this. I didn't understand. Dumb it down for me. What the fuck did you do? You made a bomb. Okay. No, we didn't make a bomb. God,'t understand. Dumb it down for me. What the fuck did you do? You made a bomb. Okay.
Starting point is 01:03:06 No, we didn't make a bomb. God, this is going to be sent to ACO. We made a sparkler bomb, which is essentially a firework. You know sparklers have birthday to you. Happy New Year's, you know, party. Sparklers. It's not a full. You get upwards of three, four, five hundred sparklers.
Starting point is 01:03:19 Put them together. Then you duct tape them, masking tape them together, and it's a firework. You pull one out in the center. You light that. And what and what does the sparkle do it burns down like a fuse in a wily coyote cartoon anyway we wanted to make it bigger so i broke into the science labs in the woolware high school science department mr burn ironic name um left the door unlocked that's a true story and i stole a strip of magnesium which the week before we'd only just burnt and it lights up like a purple light. We added it to the middle of the sparkler bomb.
Starting point is 01:03:48 We invited all my family down. Flew down from Brisbane. And, of course, the Turies at the drop of a hat would fly interstate for such a stupid family occasion. And you uploaded it to your YouTube channel, MitchDog333. MitchDog. MitchDog333. I was heavily believing I was a straight man at that point.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Come look, Mitchell. I'm just more surprised that you didn't actually lean more into that stage name. Can you imagine? G'day, guys. Welcome to the show. It's Mitch Coombs and Mitch Dogg, 333. Hello. Come and have a look.
Starting point is 01:04:15 So we're on the pontoon. We used to live on a waterfront property. The GFC really crippled the parents' money. But anyway, have a look. Very tense moment. That's me yelling, go, go, go. Stand back. I feel like I'm in the play.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Crystal, get back. Dad, move away. Put your hands over your eyes if it explodes and comes back. Dad, move away. It's going to be much bigger. Oh, my God, this is so exciting. Get ready to go up. Go up, rip.
Starting point is 01:04:42 Oh, let's go, my dad. Come into the audience and you'll see at least 30 people. Don't be scared. This is what our family does on a Sunday night. Oh no! That's amazing. Holy shit! We are, baby!
Starting point is 01:05:00 I was very excited. Woo! It goes again already. Wait, it's like a massive test of force. I was very excited. It goes again already. Wait. It's like a NASA test flight. It's awesome. This is the best part, ready? Put the headphones on.
Starting point is 01:05:19 Dad blows it out with a fire extinguisher and my mum's best friend Anne makes a joke that she thinks is going to kill. You know when everyone's laughing and then you make a joke and then the room is dead silent after? Still to this day, it's hilarious. No one laughs at her joke. Aim at the base of the fire.
Starting point is 01:05:39 That's it. Isn't that hilarious? Aim at the base of the fire. No one left. I'll post that video on Enduring Idiots. Oh, my God. The secret Facebook group. That's the straightest this show's ever been.
Starting point is 01:05:54 Mitch, go. If you can't be bothered going and watching that video, here's my two cents worth. That's what I call city folk marvelling at such a normal thing in the country. It's actually a word for it. It's called a bonfire. Oh. Yeah, and importing illegal fireworks from interstate.
Starting point is 01:06:12 That was so boring, what I just watched. Oh, get fucked. No, but the ones in the country. Yeah, true. Bitch, you've got to come to a Bougainvillea bonfire. Different stakes. Yeah. Like, I just, that that was I can't believe
Starting point is 01:06:25 your family flew from Interstate. You really just have a family gathering at the drop of a hat. We really do, yeah. They flew Interstate
Starting point is 01:06:32 to watch that. Yeah. I thought it was great entertainment. Wade's in the army now. Well you would because you've never had a bonfire.
Starting point is 01:06:41 No, very true. You had to get council approval and shit. I've had bonfire smoked hickory honey ham and bonfire smoked No, very true. You had to get council approval and shit. Ugh. I've had bonfire-smoked hickory honey ham and bonfire-smoked barbecue baby back ribs. That is kind of weirdly impressive, though, that you manufactured some sort of explosive device. Oh, God, yeah. We did it from home and it could have killed us.
Starting point is 01:06:59 But, hey, we live on to tell the story. Yeah, did you actually know what could have happened? Like, imagine if you all perished. Yeah. The pontoon sunk and we all drowned. Aim at the base of the fire! I was thinking more, you all burnt to death. No, it wouldn't have happened.
Starting point is 01:07:13 It wouldn't have happened. Mum and Dad wouldn't let us do it. Very, very, very, very, I'm just very drunk. I need to go home. We haven't had any more alcohol than usual. Yes, we have. I also haven't eaten all day. Surprise, surprise.
Starting point is 01:07:23 Oh, that's it then. Because we've definitely, like, the last five out of six episodes, we've had a whole bottle of champagne whilst broadcasting and you've not been this affected. No, I had a bowl of Nutri-Grain at like 10.30 this morning and that is it. I like how before the show you said, I'm not going to have any of that. I know. I did actually quite abruptly, didn't I? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:44 You were very angry. Fuck, you know what I could jump into right now and I'd just love it? What? Crunchy fried chicken from Red Rooster. We've already given away our, you know, payload. I don't have to say that anymore. But oh my God, I could eat a fucking box right now. Oh, me too.
Starting point is 01:08:03 Do we like that mispronunciation? I was quite proud of it when I found it. Quite a simple one. I liked it. It was. I liked it. Big game. Well done, guys.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Well done, everyone on the Hit The Post. That was very well. A good game. I didn't like it. No. I feel like you're just thinking out loud at this point, aren't you? That was an air check note you gave me very early on. You said, at the end of the show, I used to just do that because I'm drunk.
Starting point is 01:08:25 I used to just speak what I was thinking. And he pulled me aside one day and he said, the end of the show goes on for too long because you just say what you think. I was like, you are in the middle of what I feel is going to be the most succinct of tight raps. Thanks for listening, guys. We'll catch you back next week. Oh, I should pluck my eyebrows.
Starting point is 01:08:44 And I'm like, why are you thinking out loud? We were so close to finishing. I know. And then go on about a story. Oh, my sister Becky, she plucked too much of her eyebrow last week. Oh, no. My grandmother actually invented tweezers. Let's get her on the phone.
Starting point is 01:08:58 You mean Alma? I could tell you a story about Alma. That's not funny. Getting people on the phone is a great bit that radio people do at World Over. What? I don't know. That's not funny. Getting people on the phone is a great bit that radio people do at World Over. What? I don't know. Let's go.
Starting point is 01:09:08 Thank you for celebrating. Episode 60 with us. Back next week for episode 61. See you then. Bye, everyone. See ya. Bye. Actually, you know what?
Starting point is 01:09:19 61 is enough. Just joking. See you next week. Bye.
