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 Mitchell Coombs.
Oh, for episode 65.
Hello, Mitchell.
Hello, how is everyone?
You know what?
Good.
Feeling great on this Mother's Day.
It is Mother's Day.
I've got to say, I'm in a terrific mood today.
I am actually very, very thrilled.
Can I tell you why?
Yeah.
Because I went to the Bottle-O earlier and I bought two bottles of wine.
Yeah.
And the guy behind the counter was like,
oh, this particular brand are doing a deal at the moment.
If you buy two bottles, you get a free wine glass with it.
And I was like, oh, it made my day.
It's the little things, isn't it?
And he went, only for mothers.
You went, what?
I got some mum music, Mother's Day bed, just to celebrate Mother's Day.
This isn't Mother's Day music.
You're making shit up again, aren't you?
It's not like goodbye.
Well, you know how I do Easter music and Christmas music?
Prizekeeper Jenna's here.
Hi, Prizekeeper Jenna.
Hello, Jenna.
Do you like this?
Is this Mother's Day music?
No, it's more like Easter music.
Yeah, get rid of it.
I don't like it.
I'm just searching mum bed. I don't know where it came from, to be more like Easter music. Yeah, get rid of it. I don't like it. I'm just searching mum bed.
I don't know where it came from, to be perfectly honest with you.
Well, happy Mother's Day to all the mums out there.
Michelle, Jane and Roslyn.
Contraceptive diaphragm.
Sam, what about your mum?
That would be Laurie.
Laurie.
What did you get for your mother, Mitchell?
I got my, well, my mum got it, her birthday is the Sunday before.
And it's always that really tricky period.
But this year I was very smart because she asked for an iPad, iPad Pro.
You know, Michelle knows what she wants.
So all the kids put in and Hayden and I bought her the Apple Pencil.
And she's like, that'll cover Mother's Day as well.
Just get me some flowers.
But I was very smart.
I got her a giant bunch for her birthday.
And I said to the florist, I was like, I want them buds.
I don't want any blossom.
No blooming. These flowers are going to last them buds. I don't want any blossom. No blooming.
These flowers are going to last the week until we get to Mother's Day.
So we were over on the weekend for her birthday.
I'm like, yes, they haven't bloomed yet, so I don't have to buy them all.
Stingy, but what about you?
Yeah, very stingy.
Smart.
What did you get Jane?
I sent her a new laundry hamper because my brother's a tradie and he's renovating the
laundry at home, and so she wanted a white laundry hamper.
So it's hardly exciting, but she got what she wanted.
He does more with his life than we will ever do.
That man is just, Mark is so capable of everything.
I don't know.
They're very patient with him.
They're like, oh, he works hard.
We feel bad.
Him coming home from work as a tradie and having to do more work.
It's taken like four years and mum and dad don't have the heart to say anything
because he refuses to be paid.
I would be the opposite.
I'd be like, pay me and I'll get it done real quick.
Especially with the parents.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
Like I'll do mates rates, obviously.
But yeah, it's taken him fucking forever.
What about you, Jenna?
Where'd you get your mum?
So I got her a scarf and this little heart.
So it's from a charity in Africa.
And yeah, they hand make it. Does it go towards
any charity? Yes, it goes towards
Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation.
Are they paying you to say that?
That sounded like a credit line. You printed that out
and I lighted it. Sam, what about you?
What did I get? For your mum.
Well, her birthday
is around about the same time.
So I've flown
her to Sydney. We're going to go out for a nice bougie dinner.
It's going to be nice.
I am getting one bunch of flowers to cover the two
dates. Yeah, that kind of shit's on my fucking
laundry hanger, doesn't it?
Jenna's fucking heart from a dead animal she bought
in Africa. Excuse me? You never
clarified if it was fake. I'm assuming it's a blood
red heart. Yes, of course.
Your mum's got it all, living in that beautiful house in Lane Cove.
I've never been to Lane Cove, nor has she.
Welcome to Is It Just Me?
If it is your first time listening, we are brought to you by Red Rooster.
You can try the new crunchy fried chicken.
And I tell you what, I've been seeing a lot of TikToks.
People are convinced.
Like, I think we started the trend.
People now know what we've been preaching since the beginning,
that the crunchy fried chicken is better than the competition.
I'm so thrilled that I've managed to convert all these people.
I've been telling you all for years, Red Rooster is the shit.
Yeah.
Thanks, Red Rooster.
Let's kick off the show the same way we do every week with an Is It Just Me each.
So this is the basis of the show.
I bring one, Mitch brings one, and it's something we've noticed,
something we hate or appreciate.
They're our idjams, our Is It Just Me's.
We don't tell each other what it's going to be,
but we did say we'd try and make it sort of mum-themed this week
because it is Mother's Day, the day this episode drops.
Yeah, I do have one.
Should I go first?
Yeah, go for it.
Yeah, all right.
Here we go.
First idjam of the show.
Is it just me or...?
Have we definitely evolved past the need for a top sheet?
Oh, yeah.
I very rarely use them.
Neither do I.
And since I moved out with Hayden, it's almost been a year,
coming up a year in August, and we have phased it out.
But I am so attached.
I was so attached.
Hayden had to pry it out of my bloody, sweaty,
clemmy, chubby fingers because I've been absolutely trained
and conditioned to believe that you need one.
That's my mum.
I need one.
I can't live without one.
See, I think this is mums.
Mums do this to all your parent figure, whoever you have in your life,
but it stems from someone's mum at some point telling you that you need
a piece of material between another piece of material
and the bottom sheet.
But I've honestly never questioned it.
I just think that's what everyone does.
Until you are with someone or you're in the same bed
and they go, what the hell is this?
I go, it's a top sheet.
Of course you never.
I always keep one on in winter because sometimes
when I've got heaps of blankets on me,
I go to bed really snug and warm.
I end up being too warm in my sleep
and I become a fucking sweaty pig.
I don't want to get that all over the doona.
So I do like a top sheet in winter, but summer, nah,
life is so much easier without it.
Just chuck the doona on the bed, you're good.
I can't imagine without it.
It's the modern, you know when you're wearing ankle socks,
like the little socks that wrap around your ankles like you're wearing
with Vans and low-cut shoes?
You know when it comes off your little heel and the little sticky pad
slips down and then you can feel it halfway down the sole of your foot?
It's like, oh, that's what it feels like, but when you're in a bed.
It happens to your body.
You wake up and then you've got a sheet wrapped around your leg.
Yeah, it traps you, especially in summer.
Mum's like, oh, I put some summer sheets on your bed.
I feel that summer sheets are a myth.
There's winter sheets and then you fucking take them off in summer
and just have the doona.
I completely agree. I just think there is no need for them. And Sheridans do make a killing off in summer and just have the doona. I completely agree.
I just think there is no need for them.
Sheridans still make a killing off of them.
Those things aren't cheap.
Totally.
It was one of the first things I did when I moved to Sydney
and I was like, I'm an adult now.
I can rebel.
No more top sheets.
And you know when you go through that phase where you're like,
no one can tell me what I can and can't eat?
Yes.
Still in that phase.
Well, yeah.
The first maybe two weeks when I was living in Sydney, I was just buying that phase Well yeah The first maybe two weeks
When I was living in Sydney
I was just
Buying the most absurd food
I had like a two litre
Strawberry milk for dinner once
I was like
Who's gonna tell me I can't
And then I realised
Mum was right
That's not good
Your heart will
Yeah
The sugar headache
Top sheets
You're out in 2021
Totally
I'm over feeling like a
Cirque du Soleil dancer
You know when they're all like
Wrapped in the
In the quilts in the sky
Yes
That's how I feel.
Like Pink at a concert.
Pink at Kudos Bank Arena.
All right, I've got that out of my system.
Thanks, Mum, for the trauma.
That's the only trauma I've got from childhood.
Yeah, you're doing pretty well.
All right, your turn.
Is it just me or...
Was your mother's razor the first razor you ever used to shave your face
when you first started growing stubble?
Oh, my God, that's a throwback.
No, my dad really, because I think he didn't have many chances
to have a masculine moment with me as a son.
Ian avoided that shit with me.
Really?
He never wanted to give me the talk for some reason.
He was like, oh, he'll learn it in school.
My dad loved it.
Any chance there'd be a bird and a bee.
He'd be like, mate, we should talk about that.
I'd be like, no, I don't need to.
But no, my dad did shave with me.
Right.
But I do know my mum's infamous pink razor.
Yes, I didn't want to tell them.
You know when you notice like the first little hairs growing around the,
what do you call it?
Sideburn?
Sideburn area, like near your ear.
I noticed a few little prickly hairs coming through there
and I was horrified. I was so embarrassed to say anything. I wasn't going to be like, dad, like near your ear. I noticed a few little prickly hairs coming through there and I was horrified.
I was so embarrassed to say anything.
I wasn't going to be like, Dad, teach me to shave.
And I could have used his razor.
Yeah.
But mum had one of those beautiful bloody Venus things
with the soap either side of the razor.
And it's thicker.
I was like, oh, this is heaven.
The head is like an oval, right?
It's a little thicker, where men's is just like an oblong
and it's just got the razors in it.
Yes.
And then it got to a point where the facial hair was, like,
coming back and it was getting thicker more.
But I was like, okay, I can't do this.
I've got to get my own razor.
So how did it happen?
Did you go to your mum and say, I need you to shave me?
What?
Shave me.
With the shaver.
What part of that story indicated that it wasn't completely independent?
I just saw that I had whiskers on my face, picked up the razor, got rid of them.
I didn't need mum to shave me.
Mummy, can you shave me?
It's not like it's out of reach, my cheeks.
No, but it's a first experience.
Yeah, and I was quite capable of doing it, just like running the razor along my skin.
Oh, maybe 12 or 13.
Yeah, he's fine.
You need to be told that going with the grain or against the grain, because you can get
stubble rash.
We were dealing with two heads.
This is in the early days.
Hold on.
I think we had very different experiences.
I've never told this story before.
Can't believe you asked if my mum shaved me.
That's fucked.
Hold on.
When you first started getting pubes, like above the penis,
and they come very randomly, like a sprout, like a chia pet,
did you tell your mother or your father?
No, that's not something I feel the need to share with them.
Told my brother he was fucking so jealous.
Really?
Yeah.
No, I showed my mother.
What?
Why?
You showed her?
Yeah.
I think.
How old were you? 12, 13. her? Yeah. I think. How old were you?
12, 13.
Oh, no.
Wow.
Primary school.
Primary school.
Year six.
So 12.
11, 12.
Yale school captains.
So very confident.
I was like, look at this.
I can't believe you would flash your mother that.
Like, why?
For what reason?
What was the mood?
Like, holy shit.
Or look at this.
It was in the kitchen.
Why?
I remember it.
Mum was doing the dishwasher.
Explain to me what the mood was.
Were you horrified or were you showing off your crowd?
I was terrified.
And I ran into the kitchen.
I said, I need to tell you something.
And she said, what?
What?
I went, I've grown hair down there.
And maybe she was like, oh, is it?
You know, I showed her and then we braided them.
I admire the closeness of your know, I showed her and then we braided them.
I admire the closeness of your family, but that's too close.
I would not feel the need to show my mother.
We were very close.
I mean, I was close.
I was certainly not raised in a loveless home,
but that's not the sort of fucking sharing we did.
Definitely wasn't getting me bush out for mum.
Sorry, I've turned this into my story.
I didn't realise though, because after I used to steal my mum's razor, I realised there were so many different variations.
The razor world is vast, isn't it?
Yeah, it's got the big ones.
When I went to Woolworths to buy my first one, I was like,
God, which one do I get?
I don't even know.
Yeah, and then I didn't realise you had to change the head.
I feel like for seven years I was using a rusty razor.
Probably.
Probably gave me my severe acne, my cystic acne.
I'm so prone to the bloody razor stuff, including on my legs.
I was trying to shave my legs a lot recently.
Yes.
Because you know how I was like, oh, yes, I got them waxed from Mardi Gras.
They looked good.
And I was like, how do I keep them silky and smooth without having to pay for a wax?
I was trying to shave them, but I was getting bumps and stuff.
And then someone on Instagram, one of my friends, Katie,
was like, get an epilator.
What?
Have you ever heard of an epilator?
I'd never.
I've heard of it, but I don't know how it works.
They're intense.
I think so.
They're intense.
It's kind of like instead of a razor where it just cuts off the hair
at the skin, it like plucks them.
So it's almost like a million little tweezers plucking out your hairs at once.
It's like a giant mouth thing that pulls them in, right?
Yes.
I did want to do a bit of a show and tell.
Oh my gosh, you brought it.
Oh.
Oh no way.
It's got variant speeds.
It was quite confronting using it for the first time, but now I'm obsessed.
Oh, so you use this?
Yeah. Not on my face, just on my'm obsessed. Oh, so you use this? Yeah.
Not on my face, just on my legs.
Does it hurt?
I mean, it's a weird feeling, but yeah, I love it now.
Like I'm used to it.
My sister Becky asked for one of these for Christmas and she was doing it all Christmas
up and down her legs and her ass.
It's so satisfying.
Show me it.
You know when you shave, if you've got dark hair on your legs, if you shave, you can still
see like little black dots.
It rips them out.
My back is very hairy.
Are you going to get your mum to shave it for you?
No.
Can we give this a go?
I want to try it.
No, let me have a look at this.
Have you got hairy legs?
Yeah.
Give it a go.
Try it, try it.
Or on your back.
You could do my back.
I'm not doing your back.
Shave his back.
I'm not doing your back. Shave his back. I'm not doing your back.
Shave his back.
Live a little.
Jenna, would you like to shave his back?
I would love to.
Just a little patch.
Okay.
All right.
God, you're going to have to get topless.
No.
Sam, can you move the camera?
I'm not getting topless.
All right.
Now, Jenna, don't react to my back hair because it's striking.
Of course not.
You can pull the shirt.
We ready?
Here we go.
Yep.
Ow!
Ow!
Jenna, you don't stab it on him.
I did it!
You can see it there!
Oh my God!
Give it.
You literally, like, you pushed it so hard on his skin.
You just put it lightly over the top.
Like this.
That hurt!
I feel like the back, it might be more sensitive than the legs.
Yeah, I'm going off the back, Jenna.
All right, give it back.
Do my leg.
Do my leg.
We've gone this far.
You can do that yourself.
I'll do it myself.
Okay.
God damn it.
Yeah, but look at the results.
Look at you.
Oh, my God.
Your legs are white as a ghost underneath that bush pig hair.
Oh, my God.
How good is that?
Wow, it really works.
There you go. And have you done your butt?
No. Do you do your privates?
No, god, you wouldn't put that near your privates.
That would be horrific. No way!
I'm surprised at the result.
Hold on, but where does the hair go?
Probably on the studio floor, just quietly.
Sorry, Jackie-O!
Is it just me?
Both Mitches are very needy,
so make sure you leave a review on your podcast app.
Okay, I'm back.
God.
Like a boiled egg.
Hairless all over.
Let's do some Red Rooster reviews, don't you think?
Yes, absolutely.
Don't forget beauty's pain, Dylan.
Yes, yes.
You've got to do these things.
No, no, no.
I've done many a red carpet.
Don't forget, the new Crunchy Fried Chicken is available at Red Rooster.
Now, if you hear your review read out on the show, you know how this works,
Prizekeeper Jenna will DM you and sort it out.
No, you have to DM her.
We aren't going to track you down.
You've got seven days.
Message us at couple of mitches.
Jenna will be on the Instagram awaiting your message, and if you get to us in seven days, she'll send you some. You've got seven days. Messages at couple of mitches. Jenna will be on the Instagram awaiting your message.
And if you get to us in seven days, she'll send you some Red Rooster.
Yes.
Now, I will say this wasn't a review, but I had many messages of people loving Kate
Langbrook last week.
Yeah.
Wasn't she great?
Can I explain to you how this works?
Yeah.
Please do.
We do it so that people leave reviews so that we get higher on the chart.
This is an interview, but it's not helping us.
Word of mouth is how it worked in the old times.
Yes, that is true.
There's so many people that would have left reviews
and you've just put this prick at the front of the queue.
Who is it?
No, I can't remember who said that.
What were you going to say?
This one.
What were you going to say?
Nothing.
Go on.
No.
Go on.
No.
This is Candy underscore Angelina.
You make me embarrass myself on the bus.
Sorry.
Mitch, Mitch and Jenna, I've been listening to the pod and been a part of Enduring Idiots
for a while now, and I just wanted to give you some love and tell you how much I appreciate
you all every week.
You always make me smile when I listen to the pod every Monday on the bus and on the
way to work, and I have to pretend I have to tickle in my throat and cough
not too smart now living in Melbourne.
COVID. To cover up my uncontrollable
laughter. Thank you Coombs,
Turi and Benson for making my world
a better place. I feel like
I've found my people and you
all really mean a lot to me.
Candice. Oh, that's so nice.
That's beautiful, Candice. Thank you very much.
Don't forget to hit us up dm
jenna you've got a week let's go to judgy lisa my daily dose of insanity to keep me sane i love that
yeah she's a judge elisa very you um at the end of a hard day of work and being a mom i really
enjoy listening to a couple of mitches and prizekeeper jenna sharing their idioms and talk
about whatever wacky things come to mind it's my dose of insanity to keep me sane.
Thanks for always making me laugh.
Even when I'm laughing so loud, I'm scared I'll wake the crazy toddler.
Oh, yeah, you don't want that.
Don't want that.
Couldn't recommend this podcast highly enough.
Thank you very much, Lisa.
Now, I'm dying to know what this verbal review was going to be.
Have you forgotten?
Where are we?
You were about to say, oh, this is an interview,
but someone had good feedback about Kate
Langbrook. What were you going to say? My sister.
Oh. Adored it.
Started listening to the show and
loved the Kate Langbrook episode. That's it. But she's a
cop, which, you know, she's a tough critic.
Is that abusing your power
family bias? Does she get the Red Rooster
prize, Jenna, if she DMs us? We'll see if
she comes back for a second week. That's a good
tip because she did hear the episode where we were
talking about all the anal, you trying to
get me to try anal play and she hasn't
looked at me the same. I'm emceeing her
wedding and I haven't received any run sheet or anything
so I may have been withdrawn.
Yeah, I often talk shit on here
and forget that my sister and mother both listen but ah well.
What can you do? That's showbiz baby!
Alright Becky, well
if you're listening for a second week in a row,
we'll send you your Red Rooster if you DM Pariah's Keeper Jenna.
So when I was back home in Bogengate over Easter.
Yeah, the mouse plague era.
Oh, can I tell you, the mouse plague wasn't the problem.
It was more the mosquitoes.
Really?
Yes, they were horrific.
They were the size of bloody golf balls, those things.
It was weird.
They're the ones when you spike them, you can see the blood.
You know when you hit them?
Yeah.
Oh, that's the worst.
Exactly.
Anyway, when I was at home, I went to the Bogengate pub.
Lovely.
And you know how small town communities, the pub's just kind of the hub?
Yeah.
It has everything.
Yeah, and it's been renovated too, I think I saw.
Oh, it's very lavish, the Bogengate pub.
But it's also the post office and the general store.
It's all in this one little broom closet sized room.
Out the back of the pub.
Yeah.
So I was there.
I went into the general store.
Yeah.
And I was so confused because there was something on the shelf that looked like what can only
be described as a pile of used condoms.
Oh.
I was like, what the fuck is over there?
Looked a little closer and turns out it's a bunch of tiny moisturizer samples.
Oh, you brought them with you.
I did.
I've got some for you.
I've got presents from Bogan Gate.
Oh, can I just say, I can corroborate.
It does look like a used condom.
It looks like a used condom.
They've got those teeny tiny little snap block bags.
Oh, my God. That you would usually, you know, put medication in.
Sorry.
Can I say something?
What?
I got the same thing in Davo.
You got the sample?
Yes.
You're kidding.
The sample and then I actually bought it.
Hold on.
This says Mim's Magic?
Yes.
So it's called Mim's Magic.
It's a homemade lavender balm.
It doesn't look like it.
I know.
It looks like spoof in a freaking snap lock bag.
Contraceptive diaphragm, Sam, do you want your spoof sample?
Yes, of course.
Hang on.
Who is Mim and what is their magic?
Well, that's what I was so intrigued about.
I was like, is there some old lady named Mim living in Bodengate that makes her little
lavender balm, pops them in bags
for the people at the pub to give a crack?
Now, it's in a dime bag.
Are they called dime bags?
Dime bags, yeah, because you can fit a little dime in them.
And so there's this tiny droplet of moisturiser
that really, you can't really spread it
very far. I've got it on my finger, that's as much as I can get.
I used it on my mosquito bites.
There you go, the mosquitoes are in Dubbo too.
Can I read the flyer quickly?
Yeah.
So it's stapled to a tiny bit of paper, this little bag, and it's got Mim's magic.
And I did a quick Google because I was so curious about Mim.
Turns out she's not a Bogengate resident.
She makes them at her lavender farm in Queensland and they're stocked in all the post offices
around the country.
Did you get yours from the post office?
No, I got mine from the Dubbo chemist.
Oh, okay.
Well, she must have.
She's branching out.
Yeah, I know.
Because I saw exclusively at post offices.
Anyway, read out the little pamphlet, which can I just say, looks like something I made
in primary school.
Like this is some basic bitch font going on.
That's how I remember it.
The font is very, let me add some memes music because this is... The font is very medieval.
All right.
Mimms magic.
All natural ingredients.
Lavender.
Comfy?
Is he just saying it's comfy?
I believe that's an ingredient.
Comfrey.
Oh, comfrey.
I don't know.
God, I'll come for free.
Tea tree, eucalyptus, rosemary, sage, vitamin E, olive oil, almond oil, and beeswax.
All in that little bag.
And it's kind of like pawpaw.
You know how they say that you can just use it to fix everything.
There's a list of things.
Arthritis, joint inflammation, everything.
Apparently, mozzie bites.
I'm never sold on those ointments.
Hayden grew up putting pawpaw on his cuts.
I'm like, get a Band-Aid.
I did that too.
Have you opened your sample, Sam?
Yeah, it smells a bit off.
It's not lavender-y, is it?
No, it's kind of like a weird sort of ointment or something.
Yeah.
To be fair to Mim, if this was created on a lavender farm in Queensland,
it had to travel a fair distance.
That's right.
This is actually really good.
It's probably off.
But anyway, I was doing a bit of background research on Mim
because I was so intrigued by this tiny little spoof product.
She does soap, talcum powder, all sorts of things.
But the thing that really got my attention was when I googled Tarkin Lavender, which
is the name of the farm.
Yeah.
It has a one star rating on Google.
You know how you can leave reviews?
Yeah, that's not good at all.
I was like, what the fuck?
Why are people talking shit about Mim?
I had this weird kind of defense.
I was like, don't you come for my MIM,
who I have absolutely no loyalty to whatsoever.
I love MIM.
When I read the reviews, it's not about the product itself.
It's just a bunch of people being abusive.
They're saying, MIM, you were really rude,
running away from your rental payments,
left the landlord stressed and devastated.
Oh, no.
And there's so many one-star reviews.
What about this?
You owe the landlord.
Be honest, Mim.
Nothing is free.
Be honest, Mim.
Poor lean.
Should pay your rent and not rip people off.
Wow.
What about this?
Good service.
Over price of standard scones and tea.
Wow. Wow.
The lavender industry is brutal, guys.
Brutal.
Oh, this one's good.
Best service I've ever had and Mim's magic is great.
That was left by, oh, Mim.
I saw this on A Current Affair on Channel 9.
So I think that A Current Affair, or perhaps the landlord himself,
has had a bit of a smear campaign against our dear Mim.
Oh, my God.
And the thing with these reviews, much like the reviews on our podcast,
it's devastating because you can't delete them.
No, once they're there, they're there.
Yeah, exactly.
I can't believe this.
And so I feel terrible for poor Mim.
I feel like we need to pump her back up.
We don't really know if she's actually an awful person or if she's – but by the signs of this, by the looks of the pamphlet. She's a for poor Mim. I feel like we need to pump her back up. We don't really know if she's actually an awful person or if she's...
But by the signs of this, by the looks of the pamphlet...
She's a beautiful person.
And the fact that she's putting little...
This is at least one pump of Mim's magic.
Not even.
Not a tiny sample.
And it looks feral.
I wish you could see it.
Can we just put a photo up on the Instagram of just this?
Yeah, we will.
I've used online already.
She has to be a sweet old lady.
That's what I picture as well.
That's what I'm thinking.
I also want to point out very quickly that on the website it says,
caution, avoid using for the first four months of pregnancy
because there may be a history of miscarriage.
What?
Excuse me?
Should we call Mim?
Because her number's on the pamphlet.
She's very clearly inviting.
I was hoping that you would think the same thing as me
because I do want to hear her side of the story. She's been
hammered with poor reviews. I feel sorry
for poor Mim. You know what? I think
we should call her because I think it might throw her off.
I think Dot should call.
I can get Dot in. She's here. She had a
podiatrist appointment so she's waiting in the
off-air room. Oh God, I hate it when you do this.
I can bring Dot in.
I think Dot went to school with
Mim as well. Dot, come in! She's going to have to Dot in. I think Dot went to school with Mim as well.
Dot, come in!
She's going to have to come in.
Well, she was at the podiatrist, so she's limping.
She's got ingrowns on every toenail.
Dot is Mitch's alter ego.
A very old woman, if you're new here.
Her whole foot is... Don't come in.
This is that door, Dot.
Oh, okay.
Come in, Dot.
It's her club foot.
Oh, no.
Take a seat up there. Would you some mims magic dot yes i've
got a sample for you this looks like when philip was in town in the 60s won't go into that god rest
his soul don't dot don't get yourself in trouble all right i'm gonna dial the number
this one yes number. This one? Yes.
You have reached the message bank of 0-4-2-2-4.
Mimps!
Try again.
She might think we're a debt collector, not a customer.
Here I am.
I'm dying one more time for you, Dot.
Dot?
No.
Come on.
Come on, Mim.
You have reached the message bank of 0-4-2-2.
The message bank always sounds like someone answering.
Cut it off.
Goodness me.
All right, well, Mim's MIA.
Did you find the Occurrent Affair thing, Sam?
I did, actually.
Oh, God.
Can we have a look?
Yeah, hang on.
I don't want this to persuade my opinion of Mim. I wanted to hear her side of the story, you know.
Agreed.
Go on, let's just watch it.
All right, can you play it through the desk, Mitch?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, go.
You know, we're looking at a property over a million dollars
and I have a person squatting on it.
You haven't been paying the rental payments to the owner...
Oh, is that him?
I'm stuck here until he fixes the things.
She's the proud business owner who's managed to avoid paying rent
for almost an entire year.
Wow.
So you're refusing to pay him any money at all?
That's right.
But Amelia Tester claims there's a valid reason why.
The building's not up to standard.
The contract that we signed off on,
he was supposed to fix the water and the building.
Fair.
Frank Vendetti bought this property in Queensland.
Sunshine cost him to land.
She's wearing purple, by the way.
She's everything I thought that she would look like.
Yeah, me too.
I pictured her to be a bit more hippie.
Like, I thought she'd have, like, a bandana on,
really long hair and, like, lots of jingly jaws, you know. Wind chimes. Oh, the wind chimes. I was she'd have a bandana on, really long hair and lots of jingly jewels.
Oh, the wind chimes!
There's a room full of wind chimes.
Okay, this is getting
caught up now in the semantics. I've got to say
so far, I'm team
Mim because I have had
landlords try and sting me
for things, repairs that they didn't do
and we were hassling them saying,
you need to fix this, you need to fix that.
And then when we moved out, they tried to charge us for it.
Jen has just come from court.
I was in court.
Oh my God.
So I'm on Mim's side.
Hold on.
We can be pending a phone call with Mim and Dot.
We can be team Mim and we can be the ones
that can rally around to get up her Facebook ratings back.
Yeah, it's her Google reviews.
So if you Google Tarquin Lavender,
I implore our good-hearted
listeners to go and leave a positive review.
Let's do one now, actually. Yeah, yeah.
Sam's bringing it up on Google.
Contraceptive. Diaphragm, Sam.
This website. Hold on. Go to the other one that has
more reviews. See how one has 24.
There we go.
Wait, is that the gift shop?
Sam, can you type?
Sure.
Five stars, obviously.
Okay, five stars.
Five stars.
Okay, five.
There we go.
Five stars.
Share detail of your own experience at this place.
Are we going to lie?
No, because you've got her mini samples at Bogan Gate.
Well, Jenna, you've actually got a tub.
So what did you think of it?
I used it on my mosquito bites and I found it particularly comforting and soothing.
Just write that.
Why don't we start with, couldn't be more complimentary of Mim and her products.
Yes.
Couldn't be more thrilled.
Thrilled.
With this balm.
Thrilled with this balm.
Yes, because it is a balm.
Yes, with this balm.
Comma.
Because it is a balm.
Yes.
With his balm.
Comma.
It has soothed and healed my many aching sores.
Arthritis.
And maybe like ferocious mosquito bites.
Ferocious mosquito bites.
Ferocious in capitals.
Nice touch. Yes, I like that.
I don't think that's how you spell ferocious, but whatever.
Nice touch.
CDC.
Let's go for it.
CDS.
Why don't you then just say, Mim, you also have never not missed a rent payment.
No, no, no.
Don't address that.
I'm just taking a photo of the little come back.
And I think you should attach that because there's a bit where you can.
I don't think we addressed the rent, Sam.
Why don't you just say, I have recently seen a production of Rent.
Just so the word Rent is in a five-star review.
I was able to sit through a three-hour production of Rent without getting itchy for the first time in decades.
Decades.
Decades in capitals as well.
We still haven't spoken to Mim.
What if she's a right old cow?
She's not, though.
Didn't we have something else to do on the show?
I'll text Mim and say, call me back.
Yeah.
And hopefully before the end of the show, she calls back.
Yes, I actually have.
Have you got the photo?
Yes.
All right, here we go.
Do it, do it.
All right, ready?
In three, two, one.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I was going to get a drum roll.
Oh, well, fucking no time like the present.
Sorry, sorry.
Mim's desperate for redemption now. Yes. Oh, poor, wait. I was going to get a drum roll. Oh, well, fucking no time like the present. Sorry, sorry. Mim's desperate for redemption now.
Yes.
Oh, poor Mim.
There's 21 bad reviews.
If we get at least 21 positive, then she'll be around the three star mark.
Yeah.
I reckon we've got enough listeners to back Mim here.
I think we do.
All right.
We've put a photo in.
We've left a review.
Ready to submit.
Three, two, one.
Post.
It's over. Let's two, one. Post.
It's over.
Good news.
Thank you for your reviews.
We will rebuild, Mim.
Yes. We will.
What have you got in the meantime?
I have found another mispronunciation.
Blinds.
Oh, there were so many unknowns.
Micro YV.
No.
I am on the lookout.
I think we the lookout.
I think we all are.
Whenever we hear someone say something even remotely wrong, we jump on it.
Yeah, sometimes I accuse people of saying things even though they were correct. I'm like, that was wrong.
I'm just desperate for them.
I'm starving for them.
Now, this one will sound like I'm doing just that, but this was sent me from a friend.
This comes in from Nova, which is a national radio station.
It's also our competition.
Yes, it's our rival.
Yeah, very similar radio brands.
I mean, we beat them in almost every market.
However, this is my direct competition.
This is Smallsy Surgery.
Oh, my God.
This is a Smallsy mispronunciation.
No way.
You bitch.
No.
I've seen you slagging off your rival.
But we're friends.
We know each other.
Like, it's all very friendly.
Right, okay.
He was sick about two nights ago.
Uh-huh.
And he had a fill-in.
Now, apparently they couldn't get any Nova fill-ins,
so they had to dip into the Smooth FM.
Oh, very different vibe.
Are you joking?
The answer!
Yes.
Now, which, as you know.
Can I do my Smooth FM impression for those who haven't heard it?
Yeah, of course.
Do you want to get you a Smooth song?
Yeah, maybe like a. Yeah, what Do you want to get you a smooth song? Yeah, maybe like a...
Yeah, what do you think?
What's a smooth song?
Maybe like a My Heart Will Go On or something by Celine Dion.
The presenter they've got in the morning on Smooth, she...
Boga.
Yeah, she overuses and overpronounces the letter S.
Yeah.
Well, good morning, Sydney.
I hope you're having a splendid Tuesday morning.
I hope you're having a sunny start to the day.
We're going to kick things off and keep you relaxed here at Smooth.
Oh, why'd they cut off the intro?
Anyway, you get what we're dealing with.
Yes, it's very that.
Different vibe to fucking FM, like commercial hit radio.
Oh, yeah.
For me to be like, coming up.
Dua Lipa.
That's what we do.
Me and Smalls is what we do.
Coming up, Dua Lipa.
Hope you're having a fabulous evening here at Smooth.
I hope you're cosied up by the fire with a hot chocolate,
maybe a wine.
This is Smooth.
So they had a Smooth announcer on for Nova,
and he was doing quite well, but he sounds way up there in age.
This is one of the biggest songs in the world at the moment.
Right?
Kid Leroy.
Yeah, Kid Leroy.
We all know who this is, yeah?
Without you.
Without you.
I love the new Miley version.
Yes.
That's just so I can criticise it so we can legally get away with playing it.
Anyway, this announcer was clearly talking about the Kid Leroy coming up on the show
and he had clearly never heard of him before.
Let's roll the audio.
It's not the number one tune of the night.
That's reserved for the Kid Lowry and Miley Cyrus.
Without You is on the way now.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Kid Lowry.
I thought maybe he did that live and he read the run sheet
and he went, oh, I don't have time, let's go with Lowry.
An hour and a half later.
In there as well.
How much do remixes with different artists getting involved
is a big thing at the moment.
The one for Miley and the Kid Lowry.
Again.
Nobody corrected him at all.
Nobody.
That was an hour later.
The Kid Lowry.
I don't know what to do with that mispronunciation.
But it's not even spelt Lowry.
Also, the problem is, is it's two.
It's La and he's going Low and then Roy and he's going Rie.
Yeah.
Do you know what I loved?
Yeah.
The sequel to Finding Nemo, Finding Dowry.
That was brilliant.
We got there.
We got there.
Well done.
It's hard.
It's hard.
Yeah, why'd you do this?
This one's hard.
Yeah.
I'm on the edge. Yeah. Of Glowry. Yeah. And I'm hanging. You get it. Yeah. I'm on the edge.
Yeah.
Of glowery.
Yeah.
And I'm hanging.
You get it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't like this one.
It's too hard.
It is hard.
What do you, what now?
Yeah.
Oh, you know what my favourite green alcohol is?
Medari.
That's good.
That is very good.
What's that festival everyone went to growing up as kids?
It was in the grass.
Oh, Splendour in the Grass.
It's hard.
It's very difficult.
Nothing rhymes with Leroy.
No.
Oh.
What?
I love Chips Ahoy.
Chips Ahoy?
Chips Ahoy!
That's terrible
A Howie
Yeah
No I don't like this one
There's none?
Yeah
I often
If I ever bring a mispronunciation
I often think in my head
If there's any that I can think of
And if I can't
I don't bring it up
Oh
I've just brought it up
I like Chips of Howie
Chips of Howie. Chips Howie.
That really was the worst thing I've ever done.
And no call from Mim.
This show's been fucked.
God, I really did just want to shit can my competition.
I didn't even pre-think about how it would work on the show.
You know what we should do?
Yeah.
We should put this entire episode in Jenna's junk.
Oh.
It is very, very Jenna's junk.
We could. I mean, she's opening as we speak. No, don't put it in. Don't put it in.'s Junk. Oh! It is very, very Jenna's Junk. We could.
I mean, she's opening as we speak.
No, don't put it in!
Don't put it in!
It's in.
It's in.
Should we do a quick round?
Of Jenna's Junk?
Yeah.
Oh my God, really?
Yeah.
Do you have junk?
Yeah.
There's heaps of junk in there.
It's over.
It's bursting at the seams, Jenna's Junk.
I've got some.
Let's do it.
Let's take a peek at Jenna's Junk, shall we?
Jenna's Junk is where all our rubbish ideas go after we decide they're not good enough
to bring them up on the show.
But somehow they get brought up.
Here we go.
This is very on the fly and impromptu.
I know.
My junk is full.
Well, we've got heaps of crap ideas, so there's plenty of junk to get through.
Jenna, you ready to dive in?
I'm ready.
Let's go.
You're in the junk.
Oh, these are terrible. Yeah, I know.
Is it just me or does
Pad See You get no credit?
Me. What?
Why don't they get credit? Isn't that just your basic go-to?
No, it's all Pad Thai, Pad Thai,
Pad Thai, get Pad Thai
chicken, Pad Thai beef, Pad Thai prawn.
Yeah, but it's always on the menu. It is, but
everyone always talks about Pad Thai. No one ever talks about Pad See You. Yeah, but it's always on the menu. It is, but everyone always talks about Pad Thai.
No one ever talks about Pad Siyu.
It's the best.
It's the better one.
Pad Siyu is better than Pad Siyu.
To paraphrase the taco ad, why can't we have both?
Yes, I agree.
I always get both.
At one sitting?
Yeah, but we do that thing where you get a bunch of different dishes
and we all just get a little bit on the plate.
I don't like to share.
I can't share.
Why not?
I have to have my own.
You share your fucking pubic hair with your mother, but you won't share her pad tie.
Put that on a t-shirt.
Okay, I'm diving back in.
What?
Okay.
The judgment.
This is a segment idea.
Oh.
Bit or Bob.
Oh, yeah.
This wasn't an idiom of mine.
This was a segment idea that I thought would be good.
Bit or Bob?
Yeah, you know how people say,
oh, yeah, I've just got some bits and bobs on the shelf,
that sort of stuff.
Yeah.
It's like we take an item and we decide and debate amongst ourselves,
is it a bit or is it a Bob?
Oh, let's do it right now.
I would say this drink bottle is a Bob.
Okay.
Whereas.
I need to see a bit.
Well, I would say a paperclip is a bit.
Yes, see, I completely agree with that.
What about headphones?
Bob.
No, they're a bit.
I would say they're a bit.
Really?
Yes, they're a bit.
A bob is more like a side object.
No, a bit can be thrown to the side at any point.
Destroyed.
I would say a bob would.
Interesting.
See, maybe it's not so bad. It's sparked a
debate. Sam, have you got any items out there?
What can you bit or bob with it? Cup!
Cup, that's a bit.
Cup's a bit, not a bob. Yeah, I think
that's a bit, actually. Pen, this pen I'm
holding. Bit. Okay.
iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Ooh. A bit. That's a bit.
No, it's a bob. Fuck. I don't know.
Sorry, the iPhone is the bob, the iPhone case is the bit. Oh my a bit. No, it's a Bob. Fuck. I don't know. Sorry, the iPhone is the Bob.
The iPhone case is the bit.
Oh, my God.
I would say the opposite.
Oh, Sam's got another one.
Tissue box.
Holy shit.
I would say Bob.
I can't decide.
Is a tissue box a bit or a Bob?
I'd say it's a Bob and I would like to move on.
No way.
I feel that that, I think.
No, no, no. The feel that that, I think.
No, no, no.
The tissues are bits, but the box is a bob.
Congratulations.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
Let's move on.
I think it's got legs.
I am going to my junk.
That's shocking.
Is it just me or is there no excuse for bubbled window tinting in 2021?
What?
It's me.
Oh, it depends.
If it's a DIY, like you can't expect the world of them.
No!
I was behind a car in traffic the other day and their back window was just bubbled.
It looked like bubble tea.
Like there were just, it was black and bubble.
It was horrendous.
There's no excuse for that. If I was paying, if I was getting my windows tinted because they weren't tinted already,
I would definitely, that's not something I'd skimp on.
I'd get someone to do it.
You wouldn't want the bubbles.
It's like when you used to have to cover your school books.
It would kill me when I had a bubble on that.
Speaking of Mother's Day, my mum was very good at that.
I think all mums have that innately built into them.
No, my mum was not fazed by the bubbles.
So she'd be like, oh, there's an
air bubble, but oh well, you get what you're given.
So I just took over. I was like, no. Oh, really?
I'll do a better job. I had to pop the bubbles.
Yes, of course. But then there's
a dot on your book. I know.
I know. What? Oh, we actually never said
goodbye to Dot. She's been in here the whole time.
Oh, she's concussed on the ground. Fuck.
I've been eating this
mayonnaise. Dot.
No.
That's the Mim's magic.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my goodness.
All right.
What else is in the junk?
Oh, God.
Can it get worse?
Don't beg me.
Okay, I'm going in.
I'm going in.
Go sit down, Dot.
This is so confusing.
Is feel better aggressive?
What?
Yeah, I wrote that down on one of my sick days.
Yeah, I can tell.
Oh, that's okay.
We've got it covered.
Feel better.
Like it's not a wish.
It's like a demand.
Yeah, they're barking it at you.
Feel better.
I see what you mean now.
Feel better.
Rather than, oh, I hope you feel better soon.
It's just like, oh, my God, feel better.
Feel better.
Actually, I agree.
I hope you feel better is so much nicer. Feel better. Have you not heard that? No, I agree. I hope you feel better is so much nicer.
Feel better?
Have you not heard that?
No, I have.
Oh, my God.
Feel better.
And I was like, what if I don't?
Have you got a problem with that?
You can't control it.
Yeah, but see, this conversation is, yeah, I agree.
I don't like it.
And then that's why it's junk.
Of course it's junk.
Also, feel better is something you could say to a Tinder date.
You go, feel better.
Oh, God. Well, that's a different story. That's more of a, feel better is something you could say to a Tinder date. You go, feel better. Oh, God.
Well, that's a different story.
That's more of a, you're feeling me already, but I want you to feel me better.
Or if you're in a regional production and you're playing a regional production of Modern
Family, the play, and you're playing feel, and the director goes, feel better.
Save some junk for another day.
We need to go.
Yes, please.
That segment went in the junk, though.
The last mispronunciation.
And Mim's Magic.
I'm furious we didn't get a hold of her. No, Mim's Magic is not in my junk. Should we try one more time for Mim the junk, though. The last mispronunciation. And Mim's magic. I'm furious we didn't get a hold of her.
No, Mim's magic is not in my junk.
Should we try one more time for Mim?
Okay, quickly.
Dot, back in here!
She's on the floor.
Coming up.
You have reached the message bank, Olf.
Oh, my ears.
All right, well, I give up.
I give up.
I feel dizzy.
Sit, Dot.
Well, updates on Mim.
In the next episode, we hope.
Yeah, we'll keep you posted.
But thanks for listening to episode 65.
Yeah, send this show to a friend.
If you enjoyed it right now, we all have one of those friends.
Whenever I listen to a podcast,
I've sent,
Contrasept me, die friend.
Sam, I send you episodes all the time
of other podcasts.
Absolutely.
I go, oh, Sam would like this.
I go, oh, my friend Gordie would like this.
Or Hayden would like this.
Or Jenna or Mitch would like this.
You've never sent one to me.
No, just examples.
No, I was going to say,
I've never been sent anything.
I've sent you a lot of self-help ones.
You haven't even sent that to me.
I'm joking.
I would send this to a friend that you think would enjoy it.
Get them to listen.
And leave yourself a five-star review at Apple Podcasts.
Don't forget, we're doing Facebook as well.
And win yourself some Red Rooster, maybe some merch.
Speaking of, thanks for selling out all our merch, guys.
It hasn't been sold out yet.
There's a few more scabby ones left.
The misprinted merch.
Oh, there is, yeah.
Yes.
Which is just, I mean, selling like hot dogs.
There's only a few left, though.
A couple sizes. None that have fit me.
Yeah, but go on the store, see if there's one available.
It'll tell you if it's out of stock.
Lovely.
All right, happy Mother's Day to all the mums out there,
all the mums that listen.
We have a lot of mums listening.
We do have a lot of mums.
I know, not to single them all out.
And also, shout out to anyone who's missing their mum today.
I didn't know how to bring it up because I'm like,
oh, it's kind of rubbing it in, talking about Mother's Day.
And I was like, what do we do to reflect people
who are having a bad Mother's Day?
Yeah, agreed.
I was like, do we get someone on to talk about it?
And I was like, I know from some of my friends
whose mums have passed away, they don't like to be tokenised.
Yeah, it can be tough.
It's like the kid with the dead mum.
But, you know, we're thinking of you.
Yeah, agreed.
Hope we could have cheered you up in some way if you're feeling shit.
And we'll be back next week, episode 56. Can your buddy believe it? We're thinking of you. Yeah. Yeah. Hope we could have cheered you up in some way if you're feeling shit.
And we'll be back next week.
Episode 56.
Can your body believe it?
We'll see you then.
66.
The devil's number almost.
Oh my God.
Look at Lil Nas X on.
All right.
See you then guys.
Bye bye.
Is it just me? Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app or follow on Spotify.
Welcome to A to D Brief.
This is our secret segment on the end.
We keep talking shit, pretend the show's over.
Hopefully no one hears it because we are, yeah, we just kind of go rogue.
It's not our best work.
Guys, Mim just called back.
What?
What a pig!
I'm fucking spewing we didn't get Mim on the phone.
I really wanted to hear from her.
We will get Mim back.
I want to talk to Mim.
I just want to thank her.
Guys, do yourself a favour and Google that current affair video because she is...
A beautiful woman.
Beautiful.
She had like a knitted cardigan that I reckon she bought at the local market.
How bizarre that I stumbled across all these samples at the Bougainvillea pub of all places.
I didn't realise her reach.
She's in the Dubbo gift shop or whatever.
And she's in where you bought the famed Dubbo dirt from.
Yes.
What do we reckon Mim's ringtone would be?
She's probably at home now watching Big Brother. I'm sure she'd
love Big Brother. I have a feeling
Maybe Lego Masters. No, I reckon
Lego Masters would be on and then this would be Mim's
ringtone. She'd just be sitting there watching.
That Hamish Blake.
Turn it off! Hey!
Feel it? Phone is ringing!
Thank you.
I think she seems unmarried to me.
Really?
Yeah, there's something about it.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
I feel like she'd have the Nokia generic ringtone.
She somehow manages to have the Nokia ringtone on her iPhone.
Yeah, yeah.
It's miraculous.
So you think she'd be happily watching television?
Hold on, let me...
I think you're right.
What are you doing?
Stand by.
That's why I think Miamma would be in the living room.
Watching the cricket, because she'd love it. Where is that coming from? The TV.
Oh, okay. Oh, this is football.
Football. I'll umpire
you white maggot.
Dog! Dog! You
dog!
Is that mine?
Turn the telly down.
Where's the phone?
Am I sitting right?
I don't know where that is.
I missed it!
Oh.
I think that's what her ringtone would be.
I might use that current, don't you dare move the mouse, Sam,
that current freeze frame of Mim on the screen.
I might make that the profile picture of my fake boomer account, Bernice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I really like her tinted glasses.
Yeah, she's got the ones that they turn to sunnies in the sun.
Yes.
I reckon I had that.
I reckon Mim definitely steals from the collection played at church.
She's got that energy.
Oh, yeah.
Her hair looks like the feathers on a Sesame Street puppet.
Yeah, you guys need to Google this current affairs story for the visual.
I might put a photo on our Facebook group too.
Is it possible to screenshot that on a PC?
She looks like there's no doubt in her mind that she believes she's right.
Oh, 100%.
She's like, I've been squatting here for a year and not paying rent,
and I stand by my actions.
And I stand by her actions.
She's also clearly using it as a business,
because you look at the lavender in the background,
there's a little A4 piece of paper that she's installed at the front door.
I wonder how she makes her magic.
Like a big bath or something?
That being said, though, this has been on my hand since the start of the episode.
Oh, yeah.
And it's now seeping into my brain.
Shh.
Don't you shit can the magic of me.
I have it on my hands and I feel great.
Is the sample, does that do justice to the shit you get in the jar?
No.
So you bought the jar. So you bought the jar.
So you bought the hot...
Why, Jenna?
Why?
Because I had mosquito bites and I was desperate.
To soothe.
Yes.
And it worked.
It did.
Mitch, you bought me lavender balm and Jenna for Christmas.
Yeah, I did.
Not from Mim.
No.
No, not from Mim.
That was Wendy's Witchcraft.
No, it's Rustic Lavender Farm in Book Book.
Book Book?
Yeah.
And by the way, they're also cancelled.
Oh, why?
Why?
Because I lost my lavender eye pillow when I messaged them on Facebook asking for a new one
and they just left me on read and I kept following up being like,
Oi, hello.
I don't feel like a small lavender farm in Book Book has run off its fucking feet that they're going to ignore its only desperate customer.
Yeah.
Maybe let's call them instead.
Can you Google rustique lavender farm in Book Book?
What happened to it?
I don't know.
Oh, no.
Maybe it got took took.
It could have.
I rode one of those in Thailand.
I remember you called me from there.
You were watching Pan and the Pirate Hook Hook.
That's the film you're watching.
Yeah.
Oh, Sam put it up on the screen.
Look, look.
Yeah, give him a ring. I'll have a sook-sook. You definitely will. Yeah, give him a ring.
I'll have a sook sook.
You definitely will.
No, you should call him.
So what am I saying?
Where's my fucking lavender eye pillow?
Order it online.
No, just ask for one uniquely.
Your friend Kathy recommended it.
Stop, get over here.
Your friend Mim.

Oh, thank God.
So it's her rat daughter that's been ignoring me on Facebook.
In Melbourne.
Yeah.
I ordered yours off Facebook through the daughter, but when I tried
to get another one for myself, ignored for months
on end. I can't believe it.
What's going on with these Facebook marketplace
group people? I know.
Unbelievable. Fucking mim.
I almost feel like they get it because they feel they have
to, but then they don't run it properly and it's even worse
for their company and their brand.
And their cash. You know what? When she calls me
tomorrow to confirm the order, I'm going to dob the daughter in. I'm going to go full Karen on her. Do it. You know what? When she calls me tomorrow to confirm the order,
I'm going to dob the daughter in.
I'm going to go full Karen on her.
Do it.
You are not.
I will.
I think do it.
I'll say just so you know, it's bad for business.
As if the lavender business hasn't struggled enough.
Yeah.
You can't have flaky fucks like your daughter ignoring customers
on Facebook.
I've barely slept a wink for months without my pillow.
Hey, I was just thinking, we did call our mums one episode.
Was it 48?
I think it was.
I'll find out.
Find out.
I think it was 48 we called our mums.
If you want to hear what our mothers sound like,
we called Jane and Michelle.
Yeah, I don't want to call them again, but happy mothers,
Michelle, Jane, and don't tell me, don't tell me.
Roz. Yes. There we go.
Love Roz. And Sam's
mother, Margaret.
Laurie.
I like Laurie.
Laurie's a nice name.
How do you spell Laurie?
L-O-R-I.
Like kid Laurie. Lowry, I think-I. Oh. Like Kid Laurie.
Lowry, I think it was.
Oh, so you're beautiful, Mum Lowry.
That's what we should have gone with.
The Kid Lowry.
What a fool.
Anyway, sorry.
That's all right.
Not the competition really.
He's from Smooth.
We really should go.
That's also a rival, but anyway.
Yes, true.
Not for me.
Not a direct rival.
Thank you to MIMS, our sponsor of this episode. MIMS Magic. No. It really should go. That's also a rival, but anyway. Yes, true. Not for me. Not a direct rival. Thank you to MIMS, our sponsor of this episode.
MIMS Magic.
No.
It really does work.
No.
Wonders.
It does work.
Thanks to the actual sponsor, please.
Red Rooster, we love you.
We adore you.
Thank you.
Hey, you can still grab some of the misprinted merch.
Yeah, there's still plenty.
A few left, I should say.
Yeah, and there is a discount code.
Although, by the time this is out, it might all be different.
Fingers crossed.
Yeah.
They're still available, but head to our Facebook group, Enduring Idiots.
You'll find the link, the discount code, everything you need.
If you want to get a last minute jumper.
I think we are also running over Enduring Idiots too quick, because someone was like,
I've been searching Enduring Idiots all week.
Endurant.
Endurant.
Endurant.
There's a T, Endurant, because you're enduring the whole show.
Yes. And you have been Endurant. Endurant. Endurant. There's a T. Endurant, because you're enduring the whole show. Yes.
And you have been endurant.
The fact that you have endured this crap and made it to the end of the podcast thereby
makes you endurant.
Yeah.
And you're an idiot.
Idiot.
Yeah, you're just an idiot.
Feliciting to this show.
I want everyone to send this show to a friend.
I think that's the homework for this week.
Okay.
And then I will check in next week.
And do not swing on this week. Okay. And then I will check in next week and do not swing on your chairs.
Okay.
I used to swing on my chair and it bent back one day.
Yep.
They told you.
Yep.
They told you.
They did tell me.
You were warned.
Did you guys have under desks?
I hated those.
Yeah, because I was too fucking tall and fat that I'd get under desk scrapes on my top thigh.
Yeah, and the little bits of wood would fall off.
Yes!
And kids would get the pen and just shove it in,
like they'd just flake off the plywood.
And they'd be like, Jamie loves Margaret.
Can you imagine if workplaces had under desk little tote tray things
like that?
So dumb.
Well, I think we've phased out the pigeonhole, haven't we?
No, I still go to the Kiss pigeon hole all the time.
It's where I get all my mail delivered.
What about the desks that go up?
Actually, I should have gotten my fucking lavender pillow sent here.
Fuck, true.
What about the desks that go up?
Standing desks.
You're right, Jenna.
Standing desks.
No, I mean the ones, you know, at school.
Rather than reaching through the front of a tray,
you have to open the top of the desk to get in to the shit underneath.
I didn't have that.
I went to public schools.
Yeah, they weren't public.
Did you go to public school?
Yes.
What about chair?
I don't remember what they were called.
Chair covers?
And they were little sacks that you put on the back of your chair.
And you put the books and stuff.
Yeah, like a book sack or a book cover or a chair cover.
Oh, that's annoying.
I didn't have that.
That sounds shit.
It was like a little lip that you put over the back.
It was like a library thing that you put on the back of your chair.
Yeah.
I don't like that. Book cap. Book satchel. It was called something. I that you put over the back. It was like a library thing that you put on the back of your chair. Yeah. I don't like that.
Book cap.
Book satchel.
It was called something.
I don't know.
I remember this is so.
I loved Book Satchel in Pack to the Rafters.
She was a great actress.
Wonderful.
Yes.
I remember my uncle, when I got school captain, gave me best speeches from around the world.
Historic speeches.
And I had to give a speech for school captain.
And this was like my inspiration.
And I was in need.
I couldn't care less about JFK or Muhammad Gandhi
or Malcolm X giving these speeches,
which were transcribed in this book with black and white photos.
But I brought it in for silent reading just to show off.
I didn't have any interest in it.
And it was speeches that changed the world.
That was it.
And Mrs. Moon said, all right, Mitchell,
why don't you tell everyone you're reading?
I went, who's a bi? I jfk one of many malcolm x muhammad gandhi it's speeches have changed the world and she was like why are you reading that and i went to me to inspire it
was the biggest wank and i remembered in that moment i'm like oh this is going down like a
lead bullion i'm i'm an idiot there's so many speeches that they could put in the revised edition the Julia Gillard misogyny speech
fucking little what's her name Greta Skumberg with the that's it with the how dare you she
should be in that yeah true what else Brie Larson's Academy of no she didn't deserve it
for the no it's just anyway we should No, I want to think of more speeches.
Open the lines here at the station.
31065, what's your favourite speech?
Dr Oberfucking last week.
That was an impassioned speech that he gave us.
You missed a wild week last week, Jenna and Sam.
Yeah, welcome back, by the way.
Sorry, we didn't even say welcome back, but it's great to have you guys here.
Thank you. Thank you. The end of the show. Yes, we didn't even say welcome back, but it's great to have you guys here. Thank you.
Thank you.
The end of the show.
Yes.
To welcome you.
Mitch and I went rogue.
Yes, I heard.
Dads were out and we were having a wine.
We were loose.
I was in court.
And we have a love potion for all of us.
And it works on gay.
We haven't got it yet, though.
Did you get him on WhatsApp?
No, we haven't ordered it.
We'll have to do that.
All right, we'll see you next week, hopefully with an update on Mim's Magic.
I'm hoping.
Fingers crossed.
Enjoy your Mother's Day.
Say hi to your mum's forest.
We adore you.
Thank you for listening, and we'll see you next week.
See you guys.
Happy Mother's Day.
Bye.
