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.
Starting point is 00:00:25 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?
Starting point is 00:00:42 Don't forget Chin-O. Who? Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coon. 66, can you bloody believe it? Hello, Mitchell. Here we are. G'day, guys. Thanks for checking out the podcast this week.
Starting point is 00:00:55 Yeah, if it's your first time listening, welcome. Welcome, one and all. How are you feeling? You've just been to the dentist, haven't you? Oh, my God, I have. Have you seen that episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians? You went through a period where you did try to watch, right? Yeah, it was my switching the brain off show.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Oh yeah. And my hangover show. Yeah, so there's an episode where Kourtney gets major dental work, then goes to a lunch and can't sip her drink and she has this droopy face. It's very funny. Those who've seen it will know what I'm talking about. I'm surprised that you've managed to turn up because every time I go to the dentist afterwards I'm a wreck I don't know why I just always cry at the dentist really yeah I think there's something oh god this sounds so depressing there's just something about not because I always would have my mum come to things like that yes back in the day there's just something about going to those things alone when you're frightened and I just get so like overwhelmed and I always leave like
Starting point is 00:01:43 and have to have like comfort food and have the night off but you're here you're soldiering on and it is still very mildly numb what did you get done i had to get one of my old old feelings has come off and like exposed the root so i had to get a full crown like 3d printed i had this czechoslovakian dentist like okay the tooth is being 3d printed the 10 minutes would you like to go to the waiting room or do you want to talk i was like we can talk and then the waiting room or do you want to talk? I was like, we can talk. And then she's like, what do you do?
Starting point is 00:02:08 And then I said, I work in radio. She went, I am a pianist as well. Can I send you some of my music? And I was like, sure, send it through. She's like, when I have a really bad session, I'll go home and just play Tchaikovsky for an hour and a half and that gets it all out. Oh, that's nice.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Yeah, it was beautiful. That's lovely. Our third wheel prize keeper, Jenna, is here as usual. Hi, Jenna. Welcome. Hello. Hello. You're talking perfectly fine too.
Starting point is 00:02:28 It's really weird. Yeah. How are you doing it? I'm doing that thing. You know when someone's like, you've got a hole in your tooth or there's a pain and I put their tongue there? I always got to feel it. That's what I keep doing whenever I go like, oh.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Because it feels so swollen, but it feels really big, but it's not. Anyway, it was really deep in the root. So she had to- I've heard that about you. A major, like a really fine needle in really, really deep to hit the nerve. Oh, I hate that. Oh, and then there's nothing worse than that dental drill sound. It's not like a normal drill.
Starting point is 00:02:58 It's not like a saw. It's so high-pitched. Just for everyone's listening pleasure, I'll edit one in now. Oh, isn't that beautiful? Oh, that's disgusting. It's so, the squeal, it sends chills down my spine. I have a dentist horror story. One time a dentist back home, he was like,
Starting point is 00:03:16 oh, I don't have to drill too deep, so you probably don't need it to be numbed. So he just went straight into the tooth, no numbing, and then halfway through he goes, actually, it's deeper than I thought, but i've come this far and just kept going so i had my tooth drilled into a massive hole and no numbing it was literally that's why that's probably why i cry at the dentist yeah i'm just traumatized yeah also those things when you have a mum there normally you can just like recover while your mum pays the bill and gets the medicare card out yeah like you have to
Starting point is 00:03:43 do it like all right, Mitchell, health fund. Did you have anyone with you today? No, just me on my own. I had to drive here and interview Johnny Manuel. Who? Johnny Manuel. He was on The Voice. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Very good singer. Anyway, welcome to Is It Just Me? If it's your first time listening, we're a couple of Mitches. Jenna's here. Contraceptive diaphragm, Sam, too. Hello. Hello. That's us.
Starting point is 00:04:02 We start the show the same way every week with two Is It Just Me? Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't too. Hello. Hello. That's us. We start the show the same way every week with Two Is It Just Me, something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's. And that's how we start. Why don't you go first, Mitch? It's been a while. My pleasure.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Let's do it. Is it just me or? Does your brain just not have the ability to remember last names? Oh, I can't even get to first names. Well, yeah, that's a struggle in itself. I usually get past the first name basis because I mean people that I call friends. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:04:32 Like all you guys, obviously. People I'm close with, I know their last names. But, like, you know those acquaintances that you just hang out with occasionally? Yes. That sort of situation. I seriously don't know half of my friends' last names. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Today, in one of the group chats I'm in, all the gays, one of these guys, Jared, who I've hung out with a million times, was like, guys, we should go to New Zealand for like a week or so. And I was like, fuck yeah, I'd love to. Trans-Tasman bubble. I've always wanted to go to New Zealand. I couldn't tell you his last name if you held a gun to my head. And you want to travel across the Baltic Sea with this man?
Starting point is 00:05:07 Yes. I'm obviously at the first name basis. That's a challenge. But I don't even know his last name and I've met him a million times. Really? Yeah. I couldn't even tell you. I feel like with a gaggle of gays, they just all end up blending into one another.
Starting point is 00:05:20 They've all got distinct personalities. I can tell them apart, but I just couldn't tell you their frigging last names, half of them. I'm bad with first names. That's like the one for me. I constantly get first names wrong. Oh, God. I just checked.
Starting point is 00:05:31 I just double checked the group chat and it wasn't even Jared that sent that message. It was someone different. It was Zach. Don't know his last name either, though. Maybe I can't tell them apart. Holy shit. What about, are you all right with first names? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:44 After a while. Yeah. It takes a couple of meetings to remember. You know what I've done? I purposely say, hey, I'm Mitch. And they go, hi, I'm Jared. And I go, Jared, nice to meet you. You say the name back.
Starting point is 00:05:56 That's very smart. And then it's in your head. So maybe try it with, I guess no one's introducing themselves as, hi, I'm Jared Smith. Yeah, that's never come up. That's why I don't know it. Surnames are hard too because unless you're going to stalk them on Facebook, you, I'm Jared Smith. Yeah, that's never come up. That's why I don't know it. Surnames are hard too because unless you're going to stalk him on Facebook, you don't need a surname.
Starting point is 00:06:10 I do have him on Facebook though. It's like I just don't spend a lot of time dwelling on his profile. Yeah. I was actually out clubbing a couple of weeks ago and I ran into this guy, Tom, who I've partied with a million times out on Oxford Street and to the point where we like, we're mates. It's like, oh, my God, Tom. And after, like, half an hour, I don't know where it came from.
Starting point is 00:06:29 It's like he could see my weakness. He just says to me, what's my last name? Oh, no, no. And I looked him in the eye and I said, who cares? Because I had a few drinks. I was just like, whatever. I'm not even going to pretend I have an idea. I have no clue.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Oh, that's the worst. Nothing worse than when someone calls you out, especially on the first name. It happened the, whatever. I'm not even going to pretend I have an idea. I have no clue. Oh, that's the worst. Nothing worse than when someone calls you out, especially on the first name. It happened the other day. The iHeartRadio team who work at the radio station, there's like a thousand new women that work there. And then the other day we were talking and I'm like, where'd you come from?
Starting point is 00:06:56 Like, what's your job before this? And then she went, you don't know my name, do you? And I was like, obviously me. I was like, of course I do. Yes, I do. Looking for any paraphernalia on a desk. I'm like, fuck, your name is Kiki K. Oh, no, that's a pen.
Starting point is 00:07:09 And you've asked me her name before. Yeah, I've asked Jenna her name multiple times because I was in a predicament. I'm like, I need the studio. Jenna, what's that woman's name? What is it? Shannon. Shannon. Shannon.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Okay. Well, I can't have that excuse that you have up your sleeve where I say, I'm so sorry. I have a brain condition that actually affects my memory greatly. If someone said that to me, I'd just be like, oh, well, fuck my name. That's not important in the grand scheme of things. But I can't use that excuse. I don't use that as well at Art Nightclub.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Sorry, I've got Chiari mouth promotion. Let's do coke. There's somebody in the sales team, right? I've met her about over 10 times. Yeah. And every time I'm in the elevator with her, I know she doesn't know my name. And she always goes, what's your email?
Starting point is 00:07:56 And our email is just our first and last name. You should just call her out and be like, it's my first and last name. Yeah, I'm actually going to try that. You could do that. I don't have the gall to do that. No, I'm going to do it. In the lift too.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Yep. And hold the fire alarm. Can you have a voice memo and bring it back next week? Deal. I want to hear it. Deal. Whenever it happens. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:19 Keep us updated, Jenna. Okay, I will. Ready for my agent? Yep. Go for it. Is it just me or? A half trolley is better than full trolleys. Yep, go for it. Is it just me or...? A half trolley's better than full trolleys. Yep.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Yep. Yep. There's no need for the big ones. I passed my driver's test with flying colours and yet I cannot manoeuvre those motherfuckers. The big trolleys are so difficult. There's too much room. Yes!
Starting point is 00:08:40 Unless you're getting a 24-pack of water and a big 24-toilet roll, you don't need the depth. No, I quite like them. I failed my driving test and I still don't drive, but I manoeuvre those things really well. You're carrying corpses from block to block. Yes, that is correct. We're just putting perishables and cans of tuna
Starting point is 00:08:58 and smoothie ingredients and mussel chefs. I see, I see. I have so few ingredients at the shop. I have a basket. So trolleys aren't even an issue. But if I'm going to get one, I'm going to get like the half one. I'm certainly not getting the one with the frigging baby seat on it. No.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Do you remember when those half ones were invented? Yes. Because they haven't been around forever. No. I reckon it was like 2011, 2012 is when we got the half trolley. Yeah, I'd say like 2010. Yeah. The weird thing is in America, trolleys are even bigger.
Starting point is 00:09:26 You've been. They're like double the width. I didn't notice. Oh, my God. They're huge. They're ridiculously big. Did your supermarket have those like trolleys for kids? Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Those little ones that you got to walk alongside mum and daddy? And they had that flag, that red flag. No. Oh, my God. This has just unlocked a memory that I didn't even plan on talking about. It was a Coles thing maybe exclusively because it was red, and it was a trolley, but it had a red plastic bucket seat built into it for the kids
Starting point is 00:09:53 and a seatbelt. Can you try and search it? Do you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Another one. Yeah, it was like a trolley. I'm trying to work out how it would fit into it, but it was maybe at the top because you were children,
Starting point is 00:10:05 but you'd sit in it like on a roller coaster chair. And you'd buckle in and your mum could push you around. Like facing forwards or facing the parents? Yeah, so there was room for two. And you'd face back to back. And then you'd face out both sides of the trolley. Oh, it sounds like a wheelbarrow. It is similar to that.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Sam, can you find it? I feel like there's just no one ever remembers this thing. Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, I'm not sure. Oh, no, that's a blue one. It's got a little go-kart underneath it. It's real, I'm telling you. Give us another search term to use.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Okay, search Cole's trolley with seat. I mean, isn't that just probably boring? That's not going to narrow it down. Oh, he said Coles trolley child seat. Yeah, but it wasn't really for a child. It was for like a nine-year-old kid. Oh, well, you should have said so. Oh, no, that's not it.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Sorry. It's more like a roller coaster. I feel like that the search term roller coaster Coles trolley is not really going to have a whole lot of success. I'm not going to be able to sleep now. Oh, it's like when you see an actor in a movie and you're like, fuck, where have I seen them before? This has nothing coming up. I think you might have imagined this. No!
Starting point is 00:11:15 I don't know what you're talking about. For those who potentially work at Coles, I know we have a few Coles or Woolies listeners. Please, I know you know. I want to get a photo of this because it exists. Yeah, nah, it doesn't exist. I think you've imagined it. No.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Yeah, no, I can't see anything out of the ordinary. Do you know what I reckon has happened? Yes. Little baby Mitch Turi had a dream and he was in like his ideal situation. He was on a roller coaster, which is fun, and there was food everywhere. It was all a dream. Yeah, you're probably right. and there was food everywhere.
Starting point is 00:11:43 It was all a dream. Yeah, you're probably right. You're listening to Is It Just Me? You can follow the show online. Just search Couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a dickhead. Oh, this will drive me insane, you know. The trolley.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Yes, the trolley. Become one of those crazy trolley ladies. All right, if I find a photo, I'll put it in the secret Facebook group. Yes, it's called Enduring Idiots. It's not a secret. So find us on Facebook and join the group. Do you guys remember recently on the podcast, we prank called mine and Jenna's boss Kieran? Oh, podcast.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Podcast. Yes, we were roasting him for his British accent. Yes. Well, he's usually interstate, but he's in the building today and he's coming on the podcast again. But today, instead of being pranked, he's going to be the one doing the prank. So Kieran, come on in. Welcome to the studio.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Kieran! Welcome! Welcome! Take a seat. Oh, I'm fired up to be here. Great to have you. I've seen you in the halls and I kept saying, who is that guy? And they all go, oh, he's from Melbourne. He's from Melbourne. But no one said your name. So it's great to finally see you. Oh, thank you. I've seen you in the halls and I kept saying, who is that guy do we run? And they all go, oh, that's, he's from Melbourne. He's from Melbourne, but no
Starting point is 00:12:46 one said your name. So it's great to finally see you. Oh, thank you. Hotter in real life. Yeah. Oh yeah. Much hotter in real life. Anyway. So Kieran will not be my boss for much longer because I'm leaving my job here at Kyle and Jackie O. And so what we're going to do today is Kieran is going to call the guy who's replacing me. Yeah. Right. His name's Jermaine and he's leaving a rival radio station to come here. In fact, he's already left. So he's currently in that non-compete period. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Where before he can start and replace me. So at the moment he doesn't have a job. So I've dared Kieran to call him and say, sorry, Mitchell's changed his mind. He's going to be staying on. Oh my God. Which means he's unemployed. And the great thing is, is this week I was supposed to ring Jermaine, so I've already texted him saying I'm going to contact him this week.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Perfect. He's expecting a call, so plug your phone in just there. Oh, shit. It connects to the desk because if we call from the studio, it'll say no caller ID, but this means it'll say big boss. Should it go up with a charger thing in the corner here or not? I don't know. Should it, Sam?
Starting point is 00:13:43 Eh? Should it have a charger thing in the corner or is it connected? Okay, cool. Should it, Sam? Eh? Should it have a charger thing in the corner? No. Or is it connected? Okay, cool. We're good to go. All right, we're going to turn our mics off. This is really going to set the tone for Jermaine and Kieran's relationship.
Starting point is 00:13:52 He'll never take you seriously as a boss, you do realise. And we will talk about you leaving Kyle and Jack later on. Sure, if you want. All right, Janice, mic is off. Mitch, your mic is off. My mic going off. It's all you, Kieran. Good luck.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Hey, Kieran. Hey, mate. How are you? Good. How are you? Yeah, good. How's Perth going? It's going alright. I'm just checking out the place. I did a bit of a guest lecture at a uni today, so they were just asking me all about Sydney and things like that. So, it's all been pretty exciting. How are you? Yeah, I'm good. I'm really, really good. So, I was just calling, obviously, earlier this
Starting point is 00:14:37 week I said I was going to call you, so I'm just calling you while I've got some time. There's been some changes around how we're going to roll out you joining the company um so i'm just letting you know so um basically what's happened is that um mitch has decided to stay on um so yeah so what's what's going to happen is that um we're going to go through in the next few days the plan of attack but it it i don't think we have a position anymore oh okay sorry what do you mean by that um so mitch has decided to stay and we've we've decided to accept that he's rescinding his resignation um so he's going to stay on with carl and jack um and at the moment that we don't have a position for someone to join our team
Starting point is 00:15:26 outside of that role. Can you do that? Is that like a... Yeah, we can because Mitchell hasn't left yet. So it's actually easier and more cost effective for us to keep Mitch on and bring someone into the business. Shit. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Sorry. I'm just trying to gather'm trying to gather everything in um crap so he put me in a very awkward position um uh that's weird like i saw i saw mitch like last weekend and he didn't even hint anything about wanting to come back on the show. I think he had a really good week. So he's just decided that he doesn't want to leave now. It's just been such a good week for him.
Starting point is 00:16:13 He's so fucking selfish. Yeah. Why would he want to do that? He actually is. You're right. Yeah. I just can't believe he'd do that to me. Like I'm, we're friends.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I thought we were friends. No one's really friends with you. She just uses people. Yeah, well, I guess so. Yeah. So at this point, I don't think we have a role. There's nothing I can do about it. Kieran, like, I've already left Nova.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Like, I'm on about it. Kieran, I've already left Nova. I'm on garden leave. I've been walked out. I don't know what to do from here. Why wouldn't Mitch do that to me? Because I'm a bitch.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Gotcha! Oh, Mike. You piece of shit. Hi, Jermaine. Your honey, is it just me, Mitch, Mitch and Jenna and Kieran? How are you? Oh, my God. I am shaking.
Starting point is 00:17:17 That's exactly the stern sort of language and tone that Kieran would use if he was having that sort of conversation. Oh, yeah, when he went out rescinding the offer, I was out. I went, oh, my God, even I'm buying it. But no, don't worry. We're all bullshitting. You can have me job, darling. Do not scare me like that ever again.
Starting point is 00:17:35 What the fuck is wrong with you guys? To be fair, I actually think you have grounds for a pay rise. Absolutely not. Welcome to the company. Welcome. I'm giving you the silent treatment the first week i'm in just that's all good luck getting past probation then and you know i'm staying at a friend's place too he's probably thinking is everything okay you actually made a good point though hypothetically kieran is that something i'm actually allowed to do i'm not goingieran, is that something I'm actually allowed to do?
Starting point is 00:18:05 I'm not going to, but is that something I'm allowed to do? I don't think so. Like, if I said that to you in all seriousness, I'm staying. You're just like, tough tips, you're out. I'd make something up on the spot and make myself really confident, but I'd be going, I don't know if that's possible. Clearly very good at that. You've got some jargon up your sleeve.
Starting point is 00:18:21 Jesus Christ, I'm still shaking. Don't worry, you've got the job. It's all good. And, Jermaine, you were so polite. What does this mean for me? I've already left my old job. I would have started crying just on the spot. Yeah, it doesn't take much.
Starting point is 00:18:35 You don't understand. I think my body is still thinking that I don't have the job. All right, Kieran, you can get out now. See you. Bye, darling. Oh, bye, Jermaine, as you Bye darling Oh bye Jermaine as well See you Jermaine We're going to hang up now
Starting point is 00:18:46 You guys I'll see you guys soon okay Bye See you Well done That was very good on your part Very very good Yeah so I'm definitely leaving
Starting point is 00:18:55 Don't worry Kieran did send out Quite a savage email To everyone You know how There's like all staff emails That go out saying We're very sad
Starting point is 00:19:03 To see this person go. Kieran's was brutal. I'm just going to find it now. I was so like, oh, is this the thanks I get? Yeah, you can really tell how beloved the person was in the office. If it starts with, it's with great sadness that we announce. Oh, yeah, they were beloved. It's going to be a huge gaping loss for the company.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Well, there'll be a hole in the business after today or they just go, all staff update, Mitchell Coombs has left the company. It's really one or the other. Yeah, it was more along those lines. Mine's, hey guys, it's with a sad face. Hold on, hold on, Kieran Wayne. Hey guys, it's with a sad face that I have to tell you all,
Starting point is 00:19:43 your friend and mine, Mitchell Coons, has decided to leave us forever. As a human, Mitch is a good guy, and as a work colleague, he's okay. Wow. Jesus. Then Jenna followed it up. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Thank God. What a relief. Anyway, we can push it forward. Oh, that happened? All right, get out. Get out of here. I hate you all. See ya. Jenna's got a gift for me. Can I do a gift? What? I've? All right, get out. Get out of here. I hate you all. See ya.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Jenna's got a gift for me. Can I do a gift? What? I've got a gift. What do you mean? That sounds like more of a private exchange. No, I've got a gift for Kieran, my boss. Okay, quickly.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Okay. What the fuck is going on? I'm just handing it over now. Jenny, you've got to tell either Mitch or I that this is happening. I can already tell at a glimpse that that is not Dubbo Dust, so clearly she doesn't love you as much as she loves us. Yeah, that's a fucking enamel mug. I got a mug saying I love Dubbo on it, which is good.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I asked for it. I've never been to Dubbo. Oh. Guys, I hate to say this, but you could have easily done this off the cloud. I know, but it's from the same place as Dubbo Dust to say it. It's the same place as Double Who Dust. This didn't have to happen. No one needs to hear this. This is an important business meeting.
Starting point is 00:20:50 What is going on? That's very thoughtful of you, Jenna. How lovely. Yes. Well done. That's very nice. Thank you. Actually, Kieran, while you're here, my shoelaces are undone.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Could you please get down and help me? You can go now. See you. See you, Kieran. See you, mate. Ta-ta. Go away. Eero.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Poor Jermaine. Very sweet guy, actually. I think he'll be very good in the job. Yes. We haven't even discussed that. You are actually leaving. You're leaving KISS. Yes.
Starting point is 00:21:19 I haven't mentioned that, have I? No, you haven't. Yes, I'm out in two weeks. You don't have another job set up, though, do you? not but that was that was kind of the plan i've been very um strategic about it i've been putting money aside to buy myself a bit of rest time yeah which i desperately need yeah so you're just gonna do your stuff for a little bit you'll still be online yeah pretty much i'm just gonna i don't even know what i want to do next. I'll figure that out once I've got a bit of time to think about it really. So does that mean I have to walk to work?
Starting point is 00:21:52 No, no. The very first thing I did when I made the decision to resign – actually before I even told Kieran, the boss, that I was leaving, the very first thing I did was ask one of my colleagues, can you give Jenna a lift to work when I leave? Oh, that's very exciting. You're moving on to bigger and better things, even though it's just your living room for a couple of months.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Well, yeah, I don't know what that bigger and better thing is, but we'll see. We'll see. It'll be nice to have some downtime to, you know, just figure things out. Yeah, and you've been thinking about it for a while. Yeah, kind of, but not because I don't like the job. Of course.
Starting point is 00:22:25 That's actually, what just happened? Sorry, I went to cough and I didn't get the button back in time. Do you need to cough? Thank you. That was a cough. It sounded like a hamster sneezing. Or like a vintage box brown camera. Ready?
Starting point is 00:22:40 Everyone smile. Sounds like a blindfold bulb going on. It does. Sorry, sorry. This is your moment. What were they saying? You be thinking for a little bit. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Not because I don't like the job. It's because I've just been so exhausted. Yeah. And you know how everyone's like, oh, yeah, you're just burnt out or whatever. I don't think I am because when you Google the definition of being burnt out, I don't actually, other than being exhausted, which is one of them, none of them actually apply to me because it's like, oh, you lose your passion for the job.
Starting point is 00:23:16 You lose interest. It doesn't excite you anymore. I still really like the job. I love working for Carl and Jackie O, but I just don't have the energy to do it anymore, which is very frustrating because I'm like, oh, I want to be able to do it but i can't i'm too tired yeah actually for this instagram account right um it's the their handle is real depression project you've got to check them out they're quite i quite like them yeah and there was this post that said signs your mental health is getting bad again. Oh dear. Yeah. It says,
Starting point is 00:23:46 your energy levels have decreased. Tick. Everything is starting to feel like a chore slash work. You feel trapped in a negative situation. Changes in sleep patterns. What sleep patterns? I'm up early as fuck. You start prioritizing immediate pleasure slash comfort over long-term gain. You start prioritising immediate pleasure slash comfort over long-term gain. Hello. No wonder I drink more than I might like and started vaping. You start withdrawing from friends and loved ones. Avoid making plans in the future because you feel your state slash mood is unpredictable.
Starting point is 00:24:19 And it's just like, yeah, it'll just be nice to have a lot more time on my hands. You know what I mean? I agree. But will your mental health just bounce back from being in this situation, do you think? I mean, it's not going to be like, woo-hoo, I'm cured, but it's definitely – it can't hurt it, really. Yeah. As he was saying those things, Jenna, I just started writing them down.
Starting point is 00:24:33 Yeah, me too. I just feel very relatable. Yeah. So, yes, I'm calling this my mini gap year. Oh, I love that. Because I basically, as soon as I left school, I was just rushing into I want to become an adult. Yeah, that is true, though. You have gone – and as did I. I think Jenna did the same as I left school, I was just rushing into, I want to become an adult. Yeah, that is true, though. You have gone, and as did I, I think Jenna did the same.
Starting point is 00:24:48 We left school, we went straight, I mean, you did uni, then you went straight to work. Yeah. You know how they say, oh, you know, have some over the holidays, the school holidays, or even weekends. Like, this is a good time to recharge. That wasn't even recharging me anymore. So I was like, I've got to unplug completely.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel you. Sam can vouch. He is a fucking mess. Whenever I'm away sick for even a week, he's a mess after doing early hours. It's exhausting, isn't it? By the way, I am just going to be miserable without you here because what am I going to be doing in the meantime?
Starting point is 00:25:21 Who am I going to whinge to? Well, if anything, I'll be all the more available for whinging. Around the clock, I'll be sitting at home with my cat, begging for some sort of interaction. So please, any time. Do you think you're going to start? What are you going to do, though? Like, are you going to get a new hobby?
Starting point is 00:25:39 Well, oh, actually, do you know what? There's so many things that with this job I think, oh, I might like to do that, but how am I going to fit it in with work? Jenna and I are doing pole dancing. When I leave. I'm so excited. Would you like to come to pole dancing? No, but I just want it to be thought of.
Starting point is 00:25:56 I figured that was the answer. Thanks for asking me. Well, look, we're going to miss you here. It's going to be sad because, you know, we're friends before we're podcast hosts. Well, yeah, look, we're going to miss you here. It's going to be sad because, you know, we're friends before we podcast host. Well, yeah, look, I mean, there is obviously the fact that we record here at the studio. So with me leaving, it was a very tricky decision
Starting point is 00:26:13 because it does mean that I have to give up the podcast. So, yeah, I'm going to have to leave the show. Ah, kidding. Gotcha. I'm fucking sticking around. They very nicely didn't banish me from the building, so I'm still going to be doing the podcast. Oh, do you still get to keep your security tag?
Starting point is 00:26:31 Oh, I doubt it. Just keep it until they ask for it back. I think I have to give it on my last day. All right. Well, it is sad to see you go, but you're not leaving the show. No. The show will continue on as normal. It's not sad.
Starting point is 00:26:41 I'll be fine. Yeah, very true. I'll keep myself busy somehow. I'll figure that out. I don't really know what I'm going to be doing with my time. Yeah, what are you's not that. I'll be fine. Yeah, very true. I'll keep myself busy somehow. I'll figure that out. I don't really know what I'm going to be doing with my time. Yeah, what are you going to do? I don't know. There's bits and pieces outside of work that I'll still keep doing,
Starting point is 00:26:52 you know, all the TikTok rubbish and all that. Do you feel like it's clear, like you know what your future holds or this is just a new chapter in a book? No, but, you know, if things pop up, it'll be good to be able to say, yeah, I've got time to do that. Should we get a psychic in to predict what will happen post-Kiss FM? I don't know. I don't know if I want to know.
Starting point is 00:27:09 I want to know. Yeah, we want to know. We want to know. You don't have to be here. We have passes to the building. We don't have to let you in. Oh, my God. Let's get a psychic in.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Oh, my God. Actually, over Christmas, around the New Year's period, there was a psychic I was chatting to about getting on because I thought for one of our first episodes back, we could do like psychic predictions for listeners. We'd get them on the phone. Yes. And he's gay. And you know how our medical correspondent is Dr. Gay?
Starting point is 00:27:36 Yes, and he's also gay. Yes, he said, I'll be the gay whisperer. Oh, I love that. Maybe it's time. The gay whisperer is getting his calling. Oh, my God. Can you DM him and see if he can come on next week? Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:27:48 But I want to get listeners' predictions, not me. Well, we'll end with you. You can be the crescendo. If you guys, you don't have to be gay, just to preface. Yes, he's a psychic in general. Yeah, want to DM us or voice message us. I'll post something in the group maybe. But actually, no, DM's better because I don't want anyone to give it away.
Starting point is 00:28:06 If you've got like a major life change or something happening or you don't know what your future holds, DM us and I'll get you on next week. Yeah, actually, we can't do voice messages because you need to be here on the phone. Yeah, he'll probably have questions. Yeah, he'll have to vibe off you too. Okay, well, Gay Whisperer next week, fingers crossed. Yay, I'm excited. Should we quickly do some reviews before we end?
Starting point is 00:28:27 Oh, yeah, of course. Yes. What have we got? Leave us a five-star one if you can on Apple Podcasts or on Facebook. That's where we have developed. That's where we met Dr. Oberfucking. This is from EJC2706. Best name equals Mitch is the title.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Okay, so to show my loyalty to this podcast, I downloaded this app just to give a five-star review. Oh, AJ, you've gone out of your way. Hashtag Spotify listener, thank you for making me laugh more than I thought was possible. I'm on the train for about two hours on work days and would prefer to listen to this than music while I'm at work as well. My record in a day, get this, eight hours of Mitch, Mitch and Jenna. That's a long time. I'd rather be dead. Same, that's what I
Starting point is 00:29:08 I don't have a single regret. Ijima's been recommended for a short time a while ago and I didn't listen but now I have so thank you for being the con, thank you for the content you provide. Love you guys. That's so nice. Thank you. If you reach out on Instagram at couple of Mitch's, Prize Keeper Jenna will send
Starting point is 00:29:24 you a prize. That's how we are. That's how we bribe you into leaving reviews, if you hear yours read out. Yes, that's exactly right. So we'll send that out. This one is very funny. It's from Clay. Now, we know Clay. Clay Nauru.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Oh, this is our Clay. This is our Clay. He's a friend of ours, a mutual friend. Very nice. And his review is Lauren Ipsum, the title of it. And then the body is Lauren Ipsum, Dola Simulet, Constecular Aptitizingulet, Namoon Edgat Purusnek. Is this gibberish?
Starting point is 00:29:52 It's like the Latin that is in, you know when you make a document? Oh, yes. And it's like Lauren Ipsus, and it's like the body of a Microsoft Word document before its words. Give me a look. I'm going to try and decipher this rubbish. Oh, actually, yeah, I'll give it to you. Sam, if you go and put it like Latin to English.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Yeah. What does it mean? It doesn't actually mean anything. It's just gibberish. It says because the standard Lauren Ipsum text is chopped up versions of real work, you can't actually translate it to anything. I'm so confused. What?
Starting point is 00:30:22 As am I. You know what? The show's almost done, so let's just wrap it up. Well, that's the rule, though, because if you read it out, they're eligible for the prize. So, Clay, you can DM Prize Keeper Jenna.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Yeah, Clay, we'll send it out. We could also just drop it off to his house. We know where he lives. I'm so confused. What is that, anyway? Neither do I. It's funny. I think it's funny.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Yes. And you as a comedian, Mitch, you know that you're a stand-up. Yeah, totally. I've got a stand-up show coming up, actually. Oh, tell us. In Brisbane. Oh. And you as a comedian, Mitch, you know that you're a stand-up. Yeah, totally. I've got a stand-up show coming up, actually. Oh, tell us. In Brisbane. Brisbane?
Starting point is 00:30:50 What day is it? I can't remember. Let me double check. Brisbane? Yes. I'll post about it on my socials for tickets. Why Brisbane? What's going on in Brisbane?
Starting point is 00:30:58 I don't know. They invited me. I was like, sure, I'll do it. The Comedy Store invited you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me find it. Here we go. It is on the 20th of June, which is a Sunday at the Outpost.
Starting point is 00:31:10 Lovely. Yeah, I'll put all the details elsewhere. Before we go. Yes. Turn the music off. I need another all-staff meeting. Do you remember the last one? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:24 When I fired you and hired Pricekeeper Jenna. Yeah, we threw money at her. Yeah, I need to do-staff meeting. Do you remember the last one? Yeah, I do. When I fired you and hired Pricekeeper Jenna. Yeah, you threw money at her. Yeah, I need to do that again. What? No, I've been doing it so well. Just while we're doing the reviews, I need to have another meeting. I actually don't know anything about this. So welcome to the meeting.
Starting point is 00:31:35 So it's actually both of you that are in trouble. Why? Well, not in trouble per se. It's more just a formal warning as your boss. First of all, we need to clarify to the listeners. There is no hierarchy here. Mitchell is no one's boss. Well, I think you're fine.
Starting point is 00:31:51 It's tax time and our accountant said otherwise because you're my subcontractor. I'm not. Your name is just on the ABN because one of them has to be. Yes, but by law. Okay, okay. What have I done wrong? And so I only play the boss card when I need to, and that is now, Mitchell, I have feedback from the client.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Who? Red Rooster. Oh, of course, our show sponsor. So they emailed me about the credit lines you were reading, and they just politely asked you to be a little bit less aggressive with the delivery. What do you mean? The crunchy fried chicken?
Starting point is 00:32:24 Well, I didn't know what they were talking about either, but then... Is this genuine? Yes. No, I've put a sound effect over on your little thing. Whenever there's an anonymous sound effect, I should know. I went through and I found what they were talking about because they told me. I was like, I don't remember that happening. It happened quite a few times over the space of a few weeks.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Do I get it wrong? Do I get it wrong? No, no, no. You got it right, but they just thought you were being a little bit aggressive when you said the word today. You were like, try the crunchy fried chicken and then you'd scream today. Here's some examples.
Starting point is 00:32:54 This is Is It Just Me? Brought to you by Red Rooster. You can try the new crunchy fried chicken today. Oh God, you got it. It's so good. Brought to you by Red Rooster. You can try the new crunchy fried chicken today. Let's do some Red Rooster reviews. Yes, what have we got? Also, this is brought to you by Red Rooster. You can try the new crunchy fried chicken today. Let's do some Red Rooster reviews. Yes, what have we got?
Starting point is 00:33:09 Also, this is brought to you by Red Rooster, right? You can try the new crunchy fried chicken today. That coming up later. Of course, if it's your first time listening, hi, thank you. This isn't just me. Brought to you by Red Rooster. Try the new crunchy fried chicken today. They just thought the urgency was a little unnecessary.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Today! If anything, it's adding a sense of urgency. Because it could be out of stock tomorrow! I didn't even notice. That's ridiculous. So just going forward, if any credit lines are left to you to deliver, just be a little bit more gentle and encouraging rather than putting people under pressure. Go today!
Starting point is 00:33:42 Crunchy fried chicken. Today. Today. Today. No. All right. I'll take on the feedback. Good morning. I'm Carl Stefanovic.
Starting point is 00:33:50 And I'm Alison Langdon. Welcome to the Today Show. Hey, it's Kears. Welcome to Mitch Till Midnight. It's always about a time, though. It's always a time call. Racing now. Oh, dear. Okay. And as for you, though. It's always a time call. Racing now! Oh, dear.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Okay, and as for you, Jenna. Yeah, I'm fine now. Okay, I can take constructive criticism. Let's do Jenna. You actually pointed this out to me, Mitchell. Did I? You pointed this out to me, yeah. So you're already across this.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Okay, yep. We obviously gave Jenna access to our Instagram for prize-keeping purposes so she could check the DMs, and she's taken it upon herself to abuse that trust, and she's added herself to our Instagram bio. Oh, yes, I have. It now says, hosted by Mitchell Turi and Mitchell Coombs with at Jenna Benson. Why?
Starting point is 00:34:39 Because I felt excluded. If you had asked us to do that, we would have been so happy, but going behind our backs. I know, but I did it like a month ago. Sorry. We only found out because someone DM'd the page and said, hey, Mitch Durie, me, he's not hyperlinked. Like his app doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:34:54 No, that's when I did it. So you fixed the app. Yes. So you were fixing our Instagram bar and you're like, wow, I'm here. Yes, that is what happened. Well. No, this is your first and last warning.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Why the last? What? No, just your first warning. Okay. Anyway, team, keep up the great work. Thank you for coming to this meeting. Thank you for the reviews. Am I still in the bio?
Starting point is 00:35:17 I haven't done anything about it. I'm just telling you. Oh, okay. Don't do it again. It can stay. Don't abuse. I forgot about it. Your position. Don't abuse your position. You're my 2IC, my second in charge.
Starting point is 00:35:30 What am I? A junior on probation, remember? Oh, I do. I do. All right. Well, we'll see you next week, everyone. Thanks for listening to the show today. Race into Red Rooster
Starting point is 00:35:46 crunchy fried chicken it wasn't even yelling it was today why do I go up I don't know every single time I didn't think anything of it at the time
Starting point is 00:35:55 I didn't think anything of it at the time you know because I've got my toothache I'm going to go home tonight I'm going to watch a movie what movie I'm in the mood for the day after.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Tomorrow! Tomorrow! When the war began. Die another day! It's just topical. What show does Jimmy Fallon host? He's on the... What is it?
Starting point is 00:36:21 I don't know. Oh, yeah. It's the Tonight Show! Stupid! Alright, next week, yeah. It's the Tonight Show. Stupid. All right. Next week, 67. We will be back. Leave us a review.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Five stars, please. Get it read out on the show. Win yourself something fancy. And I believe our misspelt merch. There's very, very limited stock. I think there's like a couple of mediums, a couple of larges. There's a few left. Sorry, guys.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Update. We've actually sold out of our fucked up merch. It is all gone. Since we recorded the episode, it has sold out like a rare ostrich egg in the Himalayan mountains. No more eggs. No more merch. Details on more merch very soon. But now back to the show.
Starting point is 00:37:02 All right, guys. Great show. Mitch, we'll mourn your loss here at Kiss. I'm still around for a little bit. No, I know, I know. Anyway, we'll catch you next week. See you next week, guys. Bye.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Is it just me? Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app. Or follow on Spotify. Welcome to AD Debrief. This is the secret segment on the end. If you're here, congratulations, you've found the secret. We try and trick all the dumb fucks that listen to the beginning of the show out of listening so that we can be our true selves. Messy, unstructured and chaotic.
Starting point is 00:37:48 Yep. Nothing's planned in this bit. Even though we do surprise each other a lot during the show, but this bit's just completely fucking winging it. Yeah, the truth of it all is nothing is planned. I was thinking the other day, God, it's been a while since Mitch pissed me off with the sound effects.
Starting point is 00:38:05 I shouldn't have manifested it. The only problem is I'm just too lazy and I just, normally it works when my email's set up, but it's not. You've got mail. I've got an email. Oh, the sound effects are back up. That's Paul from Dell. What's he saying?
Starting point is 00:38:20 Paul from Dell just said, Mitch, your sound effects are fixed. Oh, good. Because they were broken. Thank you so much, Paul. Thank you, Paul. But live tweets are broken. I'm waiting on an email from Twitter. Live tweets.
Starting point is 00:38:34 God, I forgot they happened. Oh, no, they're back. That's my iCloud. It's Paul. Let me check. No, not from Apple. It's Penn. God, a great improviser
Starting point is 00:38:45 His name is Penn What am I holding? His name is microphone Not your best friend Didn't you go to improvisation school? I studied in Los Angeles At the creme de la creme of improv school His name is
Starting point is 00:39:00 Brunette long haired gay man Is anything that I'm looking at? You wonder why you're not on the website. I know, right? Oh, my God! You'll never believe who that is. Who? It's Mary J. Blige.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Who? Mary J. Blige. That's so random. Her live tweets are back then. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. What are you saying? She won a Brit, that's all. She's got nothing to do with the show, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:25 Well done. Oh, that's a pen. Live tweets may be fucked up for a little bit. Oh, that's what I was saying. What did she say? She won a Brit. That's all. She's got nothing to do with the show, but yeah. Well done. Oh, that's a pen. Live tweets may be fucked up for a little bit. Oh, that's fine. Remember when I coughed before and it sounded like a newsflash? Let's just go back to that. Fuck. Let's just go back to that.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Yeah, that's a grab I cut up earlier. What about when you revealed to me what I was saying wrong? Today! Funny. We cut all this on the fly. Yeah, we do. I've got a machine. Sam's editing furiously out there.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Sam is editing furiously. Contraceptive diaphragm, Sam. Anyway. Not the other Sam, yeah. No. Easy mistake. Of course. Hey, Mitch actually brought us audio from Bougainvillea
Starting point is 00:40:08 when you went back for Easter because there was the mouse plague, remember? Yes. Yeah. The mouse plague's bad. Why would you be saying that in my group? That was you. No, it was not. I've never heard someone be able to do an impression of me, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:40:21 I can't do it. I couldn't do an impression of you. Never heard it. Even when I'm telling Hayden a story that happened, I'm like, I try to be honest i can't do i couldn't do an impression of you never heard it even when i'm like telling hayden the story that happened i'm like i try to be you jen is easy you just whimper and then sam you just talk through like a you put like you feign a british accent and you talk through like a um paper towel roll that's empty because he's always coming through a microphone oh yeah it's just a bit like this isn't it it's funny that's actually how i sound in most like yeah all day life yeah you know he's actually in through a microphone. Oh, yeah. It's just a bit like this, isn't it? It's funny, that's actually how I sound in most, like, all day life.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Yeah. You know, he's actually in the studio. That's just how we sound. Yeah, Sam had throat cancer at 12. I didn't want to talk about it. Come on. Sorry, sorry. Yeah, all I was going to say was we have audio of your dad handling the mouse plague.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Wow. Just one mouse and it's so hard to get them all. Just one shot. Multiple bullets. What were you saying? Sorry, Mitch. I don't think I was saying anything. But anyway, I just wanted to give a quick update to anyone that was listening last week.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Mim's magic. That whole saga. So we were obviously team Mim. We were saying that she's been hard done by all these poor Google reviews on her lavender store. Unfair. Yeah. Some of our listeners who have met Mim in the flesh, by the way,
Starting point is 00:41:35 doesn't that just really reinforce what a fucking small world we live in? Multiple of our listeners have met Mim, the lavender lady in North Queensland. I find that ridiculous. I know. But they reached out to us and more or less told us that perhaps any insinuation that she is skewing a bit Dodge may not be completely unfair. Yes. Now, we don't want to defame Mim. No.
Starting point is 00:42:02 But we also don't want to get her on the phone because apparently it's quite warranted some of the scathing reviews that she was left. Yes, if you haven't left that review that we really pushed for last week, just don't worry about it. Just forget about it. I mean, we wish Mim well. Yeah, we wish Mim real well. She wouldn't answer the phone. That was so annoying. You know, on the way home that night, she called me back.
Starting point is 00:42:25 I didn't answer because I was like, oh, well, I don't want to have a chat with you. Like, I wanted you to be on the podcast. I'm just going to chat to you at IRL. Yeah. But you know how we called another lavender farm in Book Book? Yes, Book Book. To order me new lavender eye rest pillows. Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:42 This is all from last week. If you missed last week's episode, go catch up. Yeah, it's a hoot. Hoot, hoot. You'll be shook, shook. Yeah. So that lady called me and she says, hi, I'm just chasing up your grandmother's lavender order.
Starting point is 00:42:58 And I was like, what? I forgot what she was talking about. And she goes, yes, order for Dot Wiggins. And I was like, was like oh yes my grandmother that's right of course yeah so they're on the way oh no you would have had to have just withheld from laughing well i had to own it i was like yeah that's my grandmother and i was like can i double check the address she gave just in case she got it wrong imagine if she was like well she was beautiful and i did actually want to talk to her again. Can you put her on?
Starting point is 00:43:25 Nah, shit. You'd have to patch me through, text me and say B dot. Imagine that. Anyway, all's well that ends well. Mim's doing her thing. Yep. Book book are still kicking. I've got more lavender in my life for all the rest thing I'm going to be doing.
Starting point is 00:43:41 And I just want to say, we will never have Mim back on the show. Back? She's never here. Yeah, true, actually. Bitch never called us. Guys, I'm actually mortified. Why? I told you about this.
Starting point is 00:43:56 I went out. I saw Jock Creasy do stand-up. There's no Mitchell Cairns. And he was very good. And then he was like, oh, do you want to come out and get drinks after? Close personal friends were doing. I'm like, sure, I'll come. I've seen him before, too. He's very good. He's very good. And then he was like, oh, do you want to come out and get drinks after? Because personal friends were doing. I'm like, sure, I'll come. I've seen him before too.
Starting point is 00:44:08 He's very good. He's very good. He actually is. So I've never seen him before. And he's so funny and so naturally. It comes easily to him. And it's just, it's so conversational. Great show.
Starting point is 00:44:16 And because he gave me the tickets, I took Hayden, he gave me the free tickets. We were right at the front, like on the balcony, on the roof, but at the front. So I could like see his bald spot. And then Abby Chatfield was there. so she was sitting next to us and it was like just a string of clearly joel's friends that he's given tickets to so angela bishop from studio 10 was there when we did our cross to studio 10 we spoke to her narelda jacobs was there uh they're like the big
Starting point is 00:44:40 big morning hosts on australian tv anyway so we do the stand-up show, and then I commit. I go, you know what, Hayden? I'm not driving. I can get drunk. Oh, God, you never do that. You're always Dezzo. Always Dezzo, and just, you know, it takes a lot to knock me out. Like, big unit.
Starting point is 00:44:54 It's like those Jurassic Park movies when they have to dart the T-Rex a hundred times because it's just got so much meat. Yeah, it's weird. You're a lightweight in that you get tipsy after one sip, but you just remain tipsy. It takes a lot to get you to, like, munt it. Oh, my God. And let me tell you, I was munted.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Oh, no. I was really bad. I started complimenting Angela Bishop on the dress choices. What? My dress choices on Studio 10. I got wasted. And Abby Chatfield was there. Bad influence.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Oh, yeah. Very bad influence. I was like, you'd be so fun. Piss. Come on. So we were shotting, doing whatever. Now it makes sense. You're with her. Yeah. Yeah. Very, yeah. Very bad influence. I was like, you'd be so fun. Piss, come on. So we were shotting, doing whatever. Now it makes sense. You were with her.
Starting point is 00:45:27 Yeah. Yeah, very, very, very bad. And I got so drunk that I saw Narelda Jacobs, who we did the cross to, and so she's the host, and I bumped into her and I went, Narelda. And she looked at me kind of like, hi. And I immediately thought, oh, she doesn't remember me. Like it was awkward. I don't think Narelda was there that day because that was when Studio 10
Starting point is 00:45:48 had like a rotating panel, kind of like the project. And it wasn't, she wasn't there that day. It was Carrie Ann. Oh, don't I know that. And Joe and Sarah. No, but Narelda followed me that day. So she must have seen it. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Because I remember they all followed me, but Narelda didn't. I'm like, oh, Narelda. So I just went, hi, Narelda. And she went, hi. Saw that furrowed brow and I went, fuck. I Narelda did. I'm like, oh, Narelda. So I just went, hi, Narelda. And she went, hi. Saw that furrowed brow. And I went, fuck. I went, I'm Mitch. I'm Mitch Turi.
Starting point is 00:46:09 And she went, right. I went, oh, nice to meet you. Just to chuck that in. And she went, oh, I've met you. And I'm like, oh. Oh, well, this is Hayden, my boyfriend. And she went, oh, nice to meet you. Oh, well, because she's gay, too.
Starting point is 00:46:21 She is gay. She's got a partner or girlfriend. I don't know if it's a wife. But yeah, she's gay too. So she would have just been like, oh, my people. Yeah, it was hilarious. Because, you know, Joel Creasy, one of us, and he was all there with all the gay men.
Starting point is 00:46:34 And there was like a table at the venue that he'd hired out after full of lesbians. Like it was the lesbian table. Love it. And I was sitting there with Abby and Tim Blackwell. And Courtney Act was there. And we were all like sitting there chatting. And then Narelda like floats over and taps Abby on the shoulder and goes,
Starting point is 00:46:49 Abby, we're discussing feminism issues. We'd love if you could come in and join the discussion. Ordinarily, Abby would be down, but she's probably like, not now. No, she actually was like, oh, yeah, of course. I'm a massive fan of Narelda as Narelda walked off. So the guy Abby was with was like, all right, she's going to the lesbians. And she just went to this table of lesbians and she had her tits out and they just went to town like the hyenas in The Lion King.
Starting point is 00:47:08 If I had to pick a table, it would be tough, actually. Yeah, there was that table. Then there was comedians that Joel knew but no one else knew and they weren't really talking to anyone. Then there was like the radio people plus Courtney Act. Then there were the lesbians. And then Joel's mother and father, who I ran over to. You know I love a parent.
Starting point is 00:47:25 I'd be on that table know I love a parent. I'd be on that table. I love a parent. Have we gotten to the point of the story where you explain why you're mortified? Because nothing about this sounds mortifying. Like, this is me a lot of the time, just drunk and being like, hey. No, we'll get to the point. This is the main point, and it's terrifying.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Angela Bishop. Veteran of entertainment news. Studio 10 celeb reporter met every celeb under the sun. Doesn't get nervous. Doesn't crack. Probably in her 50s, early 50s? I'd say 40s. 40s, late 40s.
Starting point is 00:47:57 Yeah. You know when you get so drunk that you just babble and just unleash your life story. You tell them everything. Yeah, okay. That was me in the early days of drinking. Now I'm self-aware even when pissed. So I get where you were at. I had that point.
Starting point is 00:48:14 And after high school, I'm like, yeah, I'm good. I'm a good drinker. But I haven't been drunk for years. So I wasn't trained. So I got to that point where I knew I was telling her my life story and it was an out-of-body experience. And I floated above my head and I was watching myself chew this poor woman's ear off.
Starting point is 00:48:33 She would have been so polite about it but thinking, what the fuck is going on? I was like, do you pick your dresses when you are on the show? Because when you go out, do they pick for you? Oh, they pick for me. I don't do that, darling. Because they're just so flattering for you, for who you are. They always have legs out.
Starting point is 00:48:50 And Hayden even grabbed me on the leg. He was like, you need to stop. And I was like, no, no, no, because you were doing an interview the other day. Who was it? And she was like, I do a lot of interviews. Yeah, she's like, you're going to have to wear a wig down from there. I know. Multiple interviews a day.
Starting point is 00:49:03 I knew I was doing it. I couldn't stop. And Hayden pulled me away, and we had a sanctuary bow, and that's i was doing it i couldn't stop then hayden pulled me away and we had a sanctuary bow and uh that's that but it was mortifying i was mortified so i'm sorry angela if you're listening to this so you were that drunk annoying person that tried to make friends and she was like jesus how do i get out someone calling me you've got to go yes yep that was me and i knew enough knew, because I hate that person. When someone does that to me, I'm like, someone needs to put you down. Because I'm so aware of it.
Starting point is 00:49:31 And then I turned into that person. And all I wanted was for someone to just simply do it to me. I love Ange. I've been to her all the time. We have a great relationship. The first time I met her, she was like, because I'd been doing all the time. We have a great relationship. The first time I met her, she was like, because I'd been doing all the live crosses to Studio 10,
Starting point is 00:49:50 all the reporting stuff out on the scene. So I hadn't actually met her. The first time I met her, she's like, you've been doing great shit for us. Shit's a compliment, by the way. And I was like, oh, thanks, Ange. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And now every time we bump into each other, it's always pleasant.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Sometimes here at Kiss. Maybe we should get her on so you can make amends while sober. Oh, no, that's like when you did the same thing to Sam Mack, remember, at the Logies? There you go. Now I understand why you're mortified. Why? What happened? You've told that story, right?
Starting point is 00:50:13 On my old podcast. Oh, yeah. Sorry, that's the dental work coming back to bite me. Well, for anyone who hasn't heard it, to recap, I did work experience at Sunrise when I was 18. Baby. And I went out drinking the night before one of the mornings because I had some event on and I was very hungover the next day
Starting point is 00:50:38 and that was the day that they were like, right, you're going out on the road with Sam Mack. He's the weatherman. He travels every morning to a new location. Yeah, and so I went with him and I was not in a good way. I didn't intend to get that drunk. It's one of those things where I was like, shit, how many did I have in the cab on the way back?
Starting point is 00:50:55 And he says to me, hey, man, welcome. If you want to contribute ideas, we might get your help with coming up with some, you know, some things we can do in the live crosses, blah, blah, blah. And that's actually not normal for work experience. they usually like sit in the corner and watch but it was like trying to get me involved asking me to contribute if that happened today i would love it but at the time i was more focused on not doing a chunder in his face i was like and so i spent the whole morning in the corner swaying white as a ghost. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:51:26 And I didn't contribute anything. And I was really, really kicking myself because I was like, what a wasted opportunity. Did he say anything like, oh, thanks, mate. You can go. No, nothing like that. But I was, yeah, really kicking myself because I used to watch Sunrise back home in Bogengate.
Starting point is 00:51:41 And I was like, I can't believe I'm here. And I fucked the opportunity up. Anyway. Fast forward. Fast forward many here and I fucked the opportunity up. Anyway. Fast forward. Fast forward many years. I've got long hair. I think I look completely different. There's no way Sam Mack remembers me.
Starting point is 00:51:52 No, of course not. Drunkenly approached him at the Logies. I'm there too. Mitchell Turi at Joel Creasy the other night and I was like, remember me? And he says to me without blinking, yeah, you're that kid that did work experience and didn't contribute a single idea even though I asked you to. And I was like, oh. And I didn't even say anything. I didn't even say, yeah, that was me.
Starting point is 00:52:13 I just went, oh. I walked away. I went up to you and I said, he remembers. He remembers. And so, yes, you're right. I did follow that up. I created content out of that. He came on the podcast and he, you know, we made amends and then we did a PSA to all people out there.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Don't fuck up opportunities. Take these things seriously. All right. Can you reach out to your close friend, Angela Bishop? Yeah, my close person friend, Angela Bishop. Because we're going to have to bridge that divide. Fuck. You know her mum is a very famous politician, Bronwyn Bishop?
Starting point is 00:52:43 Yes. I had no idea. I mentioned that the other night. Of course you did. How's your mum? Of course. Has she still in the biz? She retired 30 years ago.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Is she still in the business? Is she advising or something? I don't think she retired. I think there was quite an unceremonious exit. Yes, because she was using taxpayer dollars to fly around in a helicopter. Oh, that's right. I forgot about that. No, she would, like, go to the shops.
Starting point is 00:53:08 She lived, like, in Jural and she had a helicopter patch. Sam, can you Google the helicopter thing? Where was she going? It was somewhere really fucking random. Can I also just say, we're not knocking it. That's badass. That's brilliant. I mean, if I had fucking taxpayer dollars to play with,
Starting point is 00:53:22 you bet your ass I'd be flying around everywhere in a fucking helicopter. She was heritage. So it's Bronwyn Bishop helicopter. Here we go. Oh, no. Bronwyn Bishop spends $5,000 on 80-kilometer charter helicopter flight from Melbourne to Geelong. What was she doing?
Starting point is 00:53:37 It was like a golf course or something random. Yes, golf course. Golf club. There we go. $5,227 to just go down the road. That's brilliant. Fair enough. How far is Melbourne to Geelong?
Starting point is 00:53:52 90 minutes each way. By road. By road. Oh. So that would have been a 20-minute flight. That's so funny. She landed on the course. Hi, girls.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Sorry I'm late. No. We've got to get a margarita here we gotta wait for thanks darling i'll pick me up in 20 no worries here's a tip 10k in cash ladies that's so funny good Good on her, I say. Anyway, let's not bring that up when we talk to Ange. How's your mum? Say that to her. How's your beautiful mum? If she comes on, let's like, instead of playing applause like we do when we welcome a guest,
Starting point is 00:54:37 Ange is here! Hi, Ange! So instead, we get the... And just play that as we welcome her. Yay! Welcome! And then like a golf putt. Oh, no!
Starting point is 00:54:53 Golf swing. And just never address it. Is there a golf sound effect? Surely not. Our library's not that vast. No, there's not. There! Hold on. Edge, welcome to the vast. No, there's not. There. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Ange, welcome to the show. It's so good to have you here. Hi, guys. Thanks for having me. You can park that on the roof. I don't think she heard that. What's that? Beg your pardon, Jenna.
Starting point is 00:55:22 That's quite simply disgusting. And this is a helicopter landing. So as she's talking, we can just let it. Jenna! What is that? Can I listen to that isolated? It's from Jonesy and Amanda. Everything down.
Starting point is 00:55:42 What's the fight with the car? down who was golfing in a competition and farted oh yeah that's exactly that's stupid remember in the show a couple seconds ago when I said that's stupid that's stupid how did you do that so quickly? Editing. All right, let's get Ange on. Fuck me. Have you guys ever been in a helicopter? Yes, I have, actually. Oh, with Jackie O and she almost died. No, she didn't.
Starting point is 00:56:14 No, there was all these articles about Jackie O almost dying. Really? No, there weren't. Really? Sam, can you please Google? Yeah, no, no worries. It says here, almost died. That's rough.
Starting point is 00:56:23 What the fuck? I don't understand your mind. You just pull out complete fiction. She almost perished. Just like this bullshit trolley that doesn't exist. It exists. I was on the flight with Jackie O. She was flying over Sydney Harbour doing an Instagram live.
Starting point is 00:56:38 It's on her Instagram still, if you want to see it. I was there as like the tech guy and we didn't even come close to death. I must have read a different article. Oh, Jackie O, the Kennedy's wife. Sorry, wrong article. She didn't almost die. I feel that she's gone. She did die.
Starting point is 00:56:58 She was killed. Yeah, she's long and perished. She wasn't killed. No, no, she wasn't. Natural causes. All right. Fuck me. Anyway, thanks, she wasn't. Natural causes. All right. Fuck me. Anyway, thanks for joining us today.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Yeah. There's no more times we can use. Tomorrow, we've already done that. Yeah. Yesterday. Yeah, guys, the pain medication's wearing off. Oh, God. That's what was keeping you going.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Dear, oh, dear. And I haven't eaten that much. I had one slice of toast and then got to the dentist and oh dear. And I haven't eaten that much. I had one slice of toast and then got to the dentist and went, fuck, I haven't eaten all day. And I technically haven't been allowed to eat. Oh, no. Did they give you, like, a prescription for some more stuff? No, they gave me Panadine 4, which I already have for my migraine,
Starting point is 00:57:40 for my Chiari. And she was like, oh, so this is Panadine 4. It's very strong. I'm like, bitch, so this is Panathinaik 4? It's very strong. I'm like, bitch, you need to listen to this. It's just me. I'll tell you all about pain. I sent Mitch a TikTok about Kiari. My For You page came up with a Kiari malformation video.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Once again, isn't it freaky how the For You page on TikTok is For You? They just know all about you somehow. They serve you videos that are weirdly relatable. You know what we should do? We should do a challenge where we both look at each other's for you. That's very boring, actually. That should have been a thought. Okay. That's alright. That goes in my junk. It does.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Yes. Goes in Jenna's junk on the fly. Thank you, Jenna. Putting it in. Don't even put it in, because then it might be recycled in the next Jenna's Junk segment. I want to hear it again. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Yeah, take it out. It's out. Yep.
Starting point is 00:58:26 It's been destroyed. Okay, 67. We'll be back next week, hopefully with a gay whisperer. Yes. Can we tell him to talk in just whispers? No. That won't be good audio. No.
Starting point is 00:58:38 None of my ideas are good at the moment. My brain is, there's pain in my mouth. No, it's fine. You're semi-concussed at the moment. Thank you. I get it. I get it. All right. Can you do the wrap up? I'm going to go. All right, guys. Thanks for listening. No, it's fine. You're semi-concussed at the moment. Thank you. I get it. Thank you. I get it.
Starting point is 00:58:45 All right. Can you do the wrap up? I'm going to go. All right, guys. Thanks for listening. We'll catch you back next week. Bye-bye. Bye.
Starting point is 00:58:50 Bye. Oh, bye, Broadway. See you, Broadway. See you next week. Just charge that to the company. Can't think you've got! No worries, you played a good game!
