People do some weird shit.
This is it. This is a big one.
This is for the girls. This one.
Some things make more sense than others.
Lindsay Lohan punched in the face
after trying to take a boy away from a mother.
You're a good little boy.
I won't leave until I take you.
Brace yourself for observations you didn't ask for.
That's the line.
I see it quite clearly.
Get new glasses.
This is Is It Just Me?
Hosted by a couple of Mitches.
Cinder, one Mitch is clearly better than the other one.
I couldn't agree more.
Now here's Mitch Churley and Mitchell Coombs.
That's us.
Oh, Mitch.
How the bloody hell are you?
I'm pretty good.
I just shoved a cookie in my throat and I was scared I was going to cough.
In your throat?
I'm tentatively holding my throat nodules together because I feel like I'm going to cough.
It just comes back to the fact that this place gets sent way too much free food.
Oh, constantly surrounded by free food.
There's a whole bloody, what would you even call that?
A box of cookies?
A pallet of cookies.
A pallet of cookies.
A loaf of cookies.
Yeah.
Oh, God.
I got sent those new KFC Cola Wicked Wings.
What?
Yeah.
Did you say cola?
Yeah.
So it's KFC Wicked Wings, which are great on their own.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
But they're smothered in like a sweet, sticky molasses cola sauce.
But I start here at 6 p.m. because my show meets at midnight on Kiss.
It finishes at midnight.
So I get in at 6.
They sent them at 9 a.m.
For the time I got in. Rock solid. But you better believe I finished every one of them. You It finishes at midnight. So I get in at 6. They set them at 9am.
By the time I got in, rock solid, but you better believe I finished every one of them. You should have let me know.
I would have popped downstairs.
We work in the same office.
I would have said, hey, I'm Mitch Turi.
I know I've dropped the kilos.
Jenny Craig, am I right?
Hand him over, bucko.
Like, oh, Mitch.
Oh, my God, Mitch Turi.
We're so sorry about the illness.
The evident illness.
You in remission?
You're like, no, no, no.
Anyway, awful.
So you would have had them eventually, though, even though they were cold.
Were they any good?
Because cold is chicken. Yeah, awful. So you would have had them eventually, though, even though they were cold. Were they any good? Because cola chicken.
Yeah, you know what?
Weird combo.
Do you know how KFC chicken, the crumb sort of detaches from the chicken after time?
Yeah.
And it's sort of like encased like a Kinder Surprise chicken wing?
Yeah.
Yeah, the chicken's sort of like, like you can hear it inside.
I still ate all of it, and it was delicious.
Cola was great.
Couldn't recommend it anymore.
I don't know.
It just sounds weird on paper, you know. Sorry.
Well, I loved it. Anyway, thanks KFC
for the free food. Hey, you know what else
came? I'm very excited for this. Yes.
Do you know episode two, I think it was.
Am I right? Oh, I know what you're talking about. It was episode
one, mate. You've been swinging me along this long.
Sorry. Wait, you ordered
something online, your little tape measure,
your waist tape measure. Yes, and you wanted to see if
you could find something online as cheap as possible, including postage.
I did.
And it has arrived.
What did you get it for again?
I'm going to give you a peek.
39 cents.
39 cents total.
Including postage.
I think a child died making it.
But we've got it.
I still have no idea what it is.
Here it is.
Oh, okay.
Here's the package.
Hand it over.
I love mail.
No, you can't open it yet though, okay?
I can't open it.
No, you can just hold it.
We'll do it later in the show.
Hold it quickly.
Hold it quickly.
ASMR style.
Oh, whoa.
You've got to warn me before you throw shit.
I'm uncoordinated.
Sorry.
It looks a bit phallic.
It does.
My mind just went straight to dildo as soon as I saw it.
So did my mum when it was delivered.
She dead set called me.
It was like, something was delivered for you.
I'm like, yeah, yeah, all good.
She's like, do you want to open it?
I'm like, no, I'm fine.
She's like, why don't we open it? And I'm like, oh, yeah, all good. She's like, do you want to open it? I'm like, no, I'm fine. She's like, why don't we open it?
And I'm like, oh, God.
That soon.
Plus, we're doing Talkback Tings again.
Yes, this time it's the John Laws special.
Everyone knows John Laws.
You might not have heard him, but I feel like everyone's heard of him.
Yeah, especially if you're international and you might not know.
He's like in the same category of Kyle Sanderlands, Alan Jones, Shock Jock.
I would say so, yes.
Like a Howard Stern for a US listener.
And so we're going to be running through some of his most iconic blow-ups,
as according to yours truly.
Yeah, brilliant.
We'll do that in a bit.
But I say, if you're listening to the show for the first time,
maybe seven's your lucky number.
I know Christians love seven because it's their number.
Seven's my favourite number.
Is it really?
Yeah.
I'll say mine's three and six.
Jenna?
Mine is seven.
Well, seven is today's episode.
And if you're just joining us for the first time,
we start the show the same way every single week
with an idjim. And is it just me? An observation
that no one really needs. Yes.
Why don't you start? Shoddy going first. Okay. Alright. Here we go.
Alright. Let's go.
Is it just me
or...
Have you never been BCC'd
on an email?
Oh. Well, it's just so archaic.
I don't think anyone uses that anymore.
Well, I've never felt the need to use it.
And it wasn't until last week when someone else on a thread that I was on used it.
Let's call them Chris and Susan.
And Susan was like, thanks for your help on this, Chris,
moving you into the BCCs now so that your inbox isn't flooded.
And I was like, oh.
Because then I realized when I hit reply all, that means that it won't go to Chris anymore.
So she's basically shunning him, like elbowing him out of the conversation.
Oh, my God.
For those who don't know, apparently CC on an email is when you just loop someone in.
It stands for carbon copy.
BCC stands for blind carbon copy.
I did know that.
I knew its function
it's when you include someone on an email but everyone else in that email doesn't know
well i actually sent one this week bcc really to myself why'd you bcc yourself it's no secret that
you were on the email yeah i was sending it to my boss can you find out what what is the point of a
bcc in an email because i still don't know when it's appropriate to use it.
Will do.
My boss was like, send me this audio.
And I was like, great.
So I sent it to him, but I'm too lazy.
I don't want it to be in my sent box.
I want it to be in my inbox because I don't want to go to my sent box.
I want it to be in my inbox.
So I BCC'd myself so he didn't know.
And then I had it in my inbox.
So if I wanted it, I go straight to my inbox.
Why would you want it?
Why do you need to reminisce on old emails?
Because it's something like that.
You could just go to the sent box.
I don't want to open a tab.
Who's got time for tabs?
I still don't know what the point is, but I'm sure that isn't the point of the BCC.
Did you get it, Jenna?
Yep.
Found it.
Okay.
The worst time to use BCC is actually at work.
Well, there you go.
Oh.
That's what I thought because I'm like, that's so unprofessional to not let the other person
know that someone's eavesdropping on the conversation.
Yeah, very true.
That's like telling a blind person, no, it's just us in the room.
But the best time to use it is when you're sending something impersonal, like a change
of address to a lot of people who don't necessarily know each other.
What does that mean?
So like if I was to say to all contacts, I'd be like, hi everyone, my new address is XYZ,
I have a new phone number, whatever.
I want it to go to all my contacts, but they don't all necessarily need to be known to
each other.
I guess that makes sense.
But even then, who cares if everyone else is in the CC?
But even then, who cares if everyone else is in the CC?
Yeah.
Basically, as a rule of thumb, if the number of recipients exceeds 30,
you should start using it. I can't imagine ever needing to send an email that goes beyond 30.
No, I agree.
Can you send me an email right now, Jenna?
I want to know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of a BCC.
Does it tell you that you're BCC'd?
Doing it now.
Thank you.
What is a carbon copy anyway?
Well, do you know when I used to do this,
I used to work at a fancy dress shop.
I was there for a week and I was fired at Halloween.
How apt.
Your happy anniversary.
Yeah, I know, right?
Why were you fired?
And we used to have, because I kept putting the items
back in the wrong area.
She's like, why is Rose from Titanic in Elizabethan?
I'm like, I don't know. I just got anxious. I'm like, this is Rose from Titanic in Elizabethan? I'm like, I don't know.
I just got anxious.
I'm like, this is lace.
It goes in here.
Anyway, we didn't have FPOS.
We had a credit card machine.
And you'd get the credit card right.
You'd put it on the machine.
And then you'd go.
And it would make a carbon copy of the credit card on that reversal paper.
Oh, right.
Yeah, that paper that kind of.
White paper.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But a blind carbon copy if you don't know it's being copied.
Correct.
That's creepy.
You should be receiving it right now.
I just got it.
Oh, I just got the email.
Jenna Benson.
You read it out.
Performance review in caps.
Mitch Turi, announcer.
Hi, Mitch.
Your performance review is here.
You're making you redundant.
You'll be walked out in five minutes.
Thanks for your time.
All right.
It does not at any point say to me, oh, you've been BCC'd. It just shows up
like a normal email.
But you can't see
that I'm on the chain.
Oh my god, imagine all the private conversations
that for all I know could have been sent to others.
That's terrifying. Yeah, well, Jenna
would just be normally BCC'd.
Jenna is BCC'd from the show right now.
Like there's a glass soundproof wall
separating us, but she can chime in if she likes. She can hear us. Disgusting behaviour right now. Real life BCC'd from the show right now. There's a glass soundproof wall separating us, but she can chime in if she likes. She can hear us.
Disgusting behaviour right now.
Real life BTC'd.
You're listening to
Is It Just Me?
A podcast by a couple of
Mitches.
Hey, hey, hey.
Time for your regime, isn't it? It is.
Have you had an eventful week?
Not much has really happened.
I had what I thought was a Zuba Zuba today because it's a very hot time of recording.
This is fascinating.
And it was actually a Hydrolyte.
I was devastated.
Is Hydrolyte that thing you're meant to have when you're sick?
Yeah, Jenna, can you Google what it's for?
The face is so creepy.
This is not your regime, is it?
God, no.
Sorry, carry on.
I left home.
I had to come to work.
I had a couple of meetings. And I'm like, it's so hot. It's carry on. I left home. I had to come to work. I had a couple meetings.
And I'm like, it's so hot.
It's 35 degrees.
I want a ZubaDupa.
Go to the fridge.
Grab what looks to be the orange one.
I'm a sucker for an orange.
Pull it out.
Cut the top off.
And I hold it in my hand because melting it in the middle, you know, drips it.
Yes, you've got the juice at the bottom.
Yeah, then you sort of like eat it like you're a guinea pig in a feeding machine.
You know the little stick with a ball in it?
So that's what I was emulating.
And then as I'm driving, I'm like, oh, God.
What is that?
Metallic touch.
The juice dries up, so I take a chance.
Ah!
Ah!
Swerving through traffic.
It was fucking hydrolite.
Oh, that's no good.
Mitch, hydrolite is good for dehydration caused by fever or illness.
Okay, so it tasted like liquid Nurofen.
It's also ideal for travel and during pregnancy.
No more lines on hydrolite.
You do both of those things.
Unless they're paying.
Travel.
Fuck off.
I do not.
You're eating for two.
Sorry, I'll stop.
You better carry on with your, is it just me?
I've done mine.
It's your turn.
I'm embarrassed now.
Is it just me?
Or has Suzanne's never been Susan?
What?
I know.
It's exactly what I thought.
Suzanne's, well, so I thought, is a very popular women's clothing store.
If my mum was going to Suzanne's, it's because she had a wedding or a funeral.
Is that the same or different to Suzanne Grey?
That's what my mum chose that.
I think Suzanne Grey is for the more mature women.
That's my Jane.
No, I would never say that about your beautiful mum.
But Suzanne's isn't Suzanne's.
The store is called Susan.
Yes, but it's S-U-S-S-A-N-S.
There's no S at the end.
Google it.
Can we start addressing her like she's a smart speaker?
Okay, Jenna.
Can you look up?
She speaks like one too.
I know she does.
How dare you.
I did some research because I was going,
I was at the massive shopping centre here in Sydney,
the Macquarie Centre, and I was walking by,
I got a bubble tea.
Nice.
That's the diarrhoea, I just eat so much shit.
I took a bubble tea and I was chewing on a pearl
and I saw Suzanne.
I'm like, no, it's not.
It's Susan.
So I Googled it.
I'm like, they must have rebranded.
It has always been Susan.
Yeah, I've never heard someone say off to Susan.
Yeah, no.
I'm off.
Where did you get that dress?
Susan? Oh, is she your neighbour? No. No, it's in the local
centre. That's so much less
appealing as a brand, Susan.
So I googled this and apparently
it's called the Bernstein Bears Theory.
This is getting a bit deep.
There's a theory.
I just heard myself back.
I was going to say, you became really insane for about
five seconds.
I was like, whoa.
There's this theory, and I'll put it on our Twitter,
at a couple of Mitches.
No, at a couple of Mitches.
That we all died in 2012.
Yes.
And now we are currently living in a multiverse or another cut of that
universe we once lived in.
You lost me.
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
In that transition, kind of like a carbon copy,
certain things would change.
So when we see Susan, we go, hold on, I thought that was Suzanne's,
but it was in the last universe.
Or you go, the Bernstein Bears.
Do you remember growing up with the Bernstein Bears?
They were the little bears.
They're quite cute.
The family of bears.
You'll know if you see the logo.
Yes, yes.
Yeah.
It's actually called the Bernstein Bears.
But everyone's like, no, it's not.
Oh, I believe.
There you go.
What about, what about Skechers?
How do you spell Skechers, the shoe brand?
I've never even heard of it.
Really?
I'll help you there.
S-K-E-C-H-E-R-S.
Well, there's a theory that it's actually spelled S-K-E-T-C-H-E-R-S with a T.
That's how I remember it.
What do you mean there's a theory?
That's what people remember it, having a T. That's how I remember it. What do you mean there's a theory? That's what people remember it, having a T.
Actually, I do remember it having
a T, but recently I looked it up
to see the real spelling and there's no
T. That's right. Apparently there's this
all the people around the world think
oh my god, Sketch has had a T. It doesn't
anymore. Do you think your workplace, Kiss,
my workplace too,
used to be spelt correctly and now
it's been re-branded as a typoo because it's K-I-I-S
because that's so much cooler.
And then in this weird 2012 shift, when did they rebrand?
2014.
Well, there you go.
Sorry, I sound absolutely crazed.
Are you saying that in 2012 everyone rebranded
and we didn't notice until now?
I actually realise how crazy that sounds.
And I'm also sweating.
Can you tell?
I get quite worked up.
You've got to stay off Reddit, mate.
It stinks out the studio every time you get this sweaty.
Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of mitches.
Make sure you leave a review on your podcast app.
I'm a motherfucker.
Oh, Christ.
Hold on.
I just thought I'd put that in there.
Oh, five seconds.
He's remembered.
He remembered his own rule.
Thank you.
Well done.
It's been a point of contention on this show, if you're new here,
that Mitch keeps playing pieces of commercial music longer than five seconds,
which podcast copyright laws do not allow.
So that little bit of, that Kesha slur that I edited into that sweeper there
did not go longer than five seconds.
I'm a motherfucker.
Come at me.
Poor thing.
The legal system.
She's not too.
I like the new song she just released.
Very good, right?
It's very good.
If only we were allowed to play it.
I know.
We can play five seconds of it.
Okay.
Well, we're at the point of the show.
Take a breath.
It's been fun so far.
Still to come, I ordered Mitch a package in episode two.
Yeah, you're really dragging this out.
You've dragged it out since episode one.
It was 39 cents.
It's about eight inches long.
It's a square box.
I've got it in my hands.
We're going to open it.
The reveal will happen next.
Right now, it's time for Talkback Tings.
Talkback Tings is where I bring the little bits of gold that I find when I'm listening to Talkback Radio.
Yeah, I do love it.
It's a really different world to the one that you live in, the FM bubble.
FM is crazy.
I have so many, I've got like a really tight criteria that I have to fit into.
Yes.
No such criteria applies to AM radio.
In fact, I don't think any criteria applies to John Laws.
Oh, if you don't know him, if you're in the States, Howard Stern, I'm a radio fan, so
I love this.
Howard Stern, Australia, like a Carl Sanderlands, Alan Jones.
Shock jock, basically.
Even then, like way older and way more withered.
He literally retired in the year 2007.
But then he was just like, I'm bored.
And he came back in 2011.
Did he retire?
Yes.
And it was like a big deal when he retired.
He's now at 2SM. Now, for context, 2SM is the station that aren't even in the ratings anymore
because they were rating so poorly that they just decided to opt out.
They're like, we don't want to know.
But then who pays him?
Because he's not – Jenna, can you Google how much this man makes a year?
Oh, don't Google that.
We don't need to keep throwing you to Google shit.
No, I just want to know how much he makes.
I just want to know how much he makes.
Googling it now.
Thank you.
You don't have to confirm the Google either, Jenna.
But like he very famously retired in 2007, like I said.
He's now back at 2SM, the shittest station in Sydney,
and they will not pay for marketing.
So there are so many people that literally don't know he's back on air.
It's like he's like a little off-Broadway secret now.
He's BCC'd to the radio?
He is.
And so every single time you tune into John Laws, by the way,
my father listened to John Laws. by the way, my father listened to John
Laws.
Oh, yeah, my granddad.
So growing up, it's all I heard.
I'm very familiar with it.
I'm going to feel very nostalgic.
But this is how it kicks off every single show.
Hello, world.
I'm John Laws.
It sounds very old-fashioned, doesn't it?
Is this a mariachi band?
It sounds like you're at a Guzman y Gomez on Tuesday.
Free tacos! Taco Tuesday!
So he sounds quite quaint and almost wholesome.
Yeah.
But he is prone to losing his patience pretty quickly.
He tolerates no nonsense when it comes to his callers.
Take a listen to this.
Nonetheless, these...
Be quiet.
Be quiet.
Be quiet.
I will now...
Susan, would you just shut up for a minute?
Or this particular one.
This is one of my old favourites,
one of my favourite tantrums of his.
I'm sick and tired of having to listen to rude, arrogant,
ill-informed, stupid women like you.
So even though he's insulting these people,
he has a way of stringing together words that just sound correct together.
Yeah, it's very eloquent.
He makes insults sound eloquent, which is a skill I would love to have.
You're almost there.
I know, I'm getting there.
I'll just keep insulting you as my guinea pig until I get there, okay?
I'll cop it.
But he has this one particular caller who is like a notorious hater of his.
He calls the show regularly.
His name's Norman.
Norman has been calling him for years.
All through my teens, I heard Norman.
So he knows Norman?
Yes.
Literally like a week ago, Norman called and started complaining about Kyle Sanderland.
Oh, our guy.
Okay.
And they played the order on Kyle and Jackie O.
The reason I bring that up is because how long have I been waiting
to play this Norman audio on our show, Mitchell?
Oh, as soon as we had the idea for this show,
you knew this was happening.
Thank you.
I don't want it to look like I'm copying Kyle and Jackie O right now.
I was sitting at my desk and they were playing Norman audio
and I was like, I'm playing that on the show next week.
I know, I woke up to a text and you're like, Kyle and Jackie are playing the Norman audio. I was like, I'm playing that on the show next week. I know, I woke up to a text and you're like,
Kyle and Jackie are playing the Norman audio.
I was like, did you BC see them on this?
Anyway.
This is a long time coming, the Norman audio.
Exactly.
So here's one of my favourite Norman blow-ups
and I want you to take note of just how eloquent he is
even though he's like dealing with a hater
and basically getting into a beef with this guy.
Take a listen.
Give us a call, tell us what's on your mind.
1-300-5...
Oh, is it really?
Norman, is it you?
It's me.
Don't you...
Didn't you say that your program goes all over the country?
Yeah.
Well, aren't they bored about Sydney traffic?
Probably.
You're boring the rest of the nation about Sydney traffic.
No, but it's very important to the people in Sydney, Norman
Yeah, but the rest of the country, they couldn't give a stuff
No, no, no, Norman, Norman, Norman
There are people out there in the bush saying
Oh God, listen to that
Aren't we lucky to live in the bush
We give them the opportunity to extol the virtues of their own environment
No, you're just boring them senseless like you usually do
Extol the virtues of their own environment. No, you're just boring and I'm senseless like you usually do.
Extol the virtues of their own environment.
Isn't that beautiful?
Yeah.
Jenna, you complain about this job, you bitch, but you just need to extol the virtues of this environment.
Isn't that just like, he's so eloquent.
That was impressive.
Right?
It goes on.
Okay.
I want you to listen out for the rest of this Norman call.
I want you to listen out to the most perfectly phrased insult
you've ever heard in your life. I'm not overhyping
right now. Take a listen.
Norman, I've been getting
reports about you. Are you fat?
Overweight? I don't answer your
questions, John. Listen, with
Thatcher's funeral, have you planned
yours?
Have you written it all out?
Do you want to know? Have know? Going into the funeral,
who's going to speak? Norman, Norman, Norman, Norman,
you've got to remember, I won't know. I'm dead.
Yeah, but all your family will be. Won't anybody
lining the streets and crying over your death, I'm telling you.
Norman, Norman, why do you listen to the program?
Because I can.
Ah, now the truth is coming through.
You secretly love me.
No, I don't, John.
I hate you, John.
I hate you.
You pathetic creature.
You coward.
You coward.
You are.
You really are a coward.
Norman, what a screwed up, dreadful little grub of a human being you are.
I think I might even be stretching it a bit, calling you a human being, but never mind.
We'll give you the benefit of the doubt, Norman.
Every time I see somebody retire, I just think of you.
Why won't he do it?
Listen, Norman, when I did retire, it was a front page news story,
and the big headline was the end of an era.
How do you like that?
I'm not your mate.
It's going to be such a joyous
occasion when you die.
Norman, you're forgetting on this momentous occasion
I'm going to be dead.
It won't be long. It won't be long,
John. Everybody out
there is wishing and hoping
they wouldn't give a stuff about you,
John.
Norman, enough is enough, Norman.
Enough is enough.
You're just a nasty human being.
And really, you're a bit entertaining for about the first five minutes or so.
After that, you become, well, you show your true colors, which aren't very pleasant.
Yellow in the main, I might say.
But you're just a nasty human being.
And I don't know how you've got
anybody around you. You probably haven't got anybody around
you and that's why you have to bother me.
Please don't bother to bother.
How savage
but graceful.
Please don't bother to bother. Sounds like
Edgar Allan Poe. Repeat after me.
Screwed up, dreadful little
grub of a human being. Let's all say it, Jenny. You too. Three, two, one. Screwed up, dreadful little grub of a human being.
Let's all say it, Jenny.
You too.
Three, two, one.
Screwed up, dreadful little grub of a human being.
I want that on my gravestone.
That was intense.
Wasn't it just?
Can you play that last bit again?
I just want to hear that one insult.
Yeah, go.
What a screwed up, dreadful little grub of a human being.
Oh, I feel a bit upset because the way he talks to his callers,
he's got power.
On my show at night, I do the exact same thing.
I take calls constantly for three hours,
and my callers talk to me like that.
It's the opposite dynamic, is it?
It's the opposite.
They're so rude to me.
I'm going to call you with my phone on private so you don't know
and be like, what a screwed up, dreadful little grub of a human being.
What do they say to you that's so rude?
Oh, like, last week
I had the privilege of giving out
business class fights to the UK.
Thanks to who?
Eddie Hadd. The reason I ask is because
you got the credit wrong. Who did you say again?
Doesn't matter. I legally can't say this. Another airline that begins with E.
Thank you. Who should have you said?
Eddie Hadd, Eddie Hadd, Eddie Hadd. Thanks to Eddie Hadd.
Yeah, I've got a great deal on at the moment.
Two business class flights.
Jenna and I flew Eddie Had to London and it was like, not because of them, it was horrible.
The flight to London is just horrible in general, but Eddie Had made it as good as they could.
Oh, yes, of course.
I didn't know where that was going then.
Did you keep your Eddie Had eye mask, Jenna?
I sure do.
I have it at my house.
And we work breakfast radio hours.
Sometimes the sun's still up when we go to sleep.
We've got to use that shit.
Indeed.
Etihad's great.
Anyway, they gave me business class flights to give away on the show all week.
It was huge.
And then this week I've gone back on air and I do my usual programming. I'm on Tuesday night, so I do Tencent Tuesday.
And I don't get a budget, but there's a coin purse in the office,
so I take ten cents.
And then I flip it and people have to guess heads or tails.
If I get it right, they win the money.
I send them the ten cents in an envelope.
Postage is $1.20.
So the station's at a loss.
Anyway, some girl called up last night.
I'm like, you want to play 10 Cent Tuesday?
She's like, last week, didn't you give away business class cards?
What's this shit?
I'm like, sorry, Juliet.
She's like, I don't even want to play.
I'm like, give it back to me.
Can we do that?
Can I bring some audio next week?
I'd love to.
Yeah, you've got to start collecting them and then play them for us.
The way that your callers treat you is the same way that John Laws treats his callers
with absolutely no courtesy or respect.
Oh, I'll start collating them.
He can be charming when he wants to be John Laws, but he can also tear you a new arsehole,
as you just heard.
Yeah.
How much does he get paid, Jenna?
Did you find out?
He has a net worth of $20 million.
What's your net worth, if you had to assume based on everything you've got?
The same budget you've got for giveaways on your night show, 10 cents.
Love the podcast, but want more in-between episodes?
Then join a group sport, you lazy turd.
Or go borrow a library book.
Meanwhile, you can follow the show online at coupleofmitches.
Yeah, give us a follow.
Leave us a review.
Don't forget, five stars, please.
Speaking of group sports, Brad Alveo, guys, you're so good.
Yeah, of course.
What did you do growing up?
Well, nothing.
Therein lies the issue why I was quite a large child.
Oh, you couldn't run on the grass in Bougainvillea
because that was the crops.
Let's go play soccer down there.
No, don't run on that.
That's the livelihood.
That's the corn. Apparently I play soccer down there. No, don't run on that! That's the livelihood! That's the corn!
Apparently I played soccer when I was five,
but the coach had to politely ask my mum to stop bringing me
because I wasn't playing soccer.
I was running around the field picking up leaves.
Imagine that.
Mrs Coombs, you're going to have to pick your son up.
He's using the ball as a disco ball and he's grinding on the field.
The other boys are very uncomfortable.
He's pole dancing against the goalposts.
Plus the ball isn't even a ball, it's a pumpkin.
It's our crops!
It's our crops!
Oh, heavens above.
What do we have to do now?
Oh, my God.
This is exciting.
Yeah, finally.
I'm going to be finding out what you managed to buy online.
Yes.
I actually think...
Jenna, can you get me some scissors?
Do you mind bringing in some scissors?
I will bring in scissors.
Thank you.
I didn't have any scissors.
This is a momentous occasion.
For anyone who is not familiar with how this saga has unfolded,
it's been quite the journey, let me tell you.
It all started when I mentioned in passing that I'd bought a tape measure online
that was so cheap, including postage, I could not believe it.
Take a listen.
Oh, where did you get something like that?
Can I tell you?
I'm not even kidding.
So including postage, I will tell you, this tape measure that I used
off AliExpress was 53 cents.
I think I could, if you wanted me to, find something cheaper.
You should actually do that.
I want to see if you can beat 53 cents including postage for an actual practical thing including postage yes done i'll
have it next week so that just begged the question for me how did anyone profit off that yeah nobody
like even your 10 cent tuesday it costs a dollar 20 to send the 10 yes but it's just for content
it's fun so we do it but how can these people be sending me a tape measure an actual practical item
with no postage and it only costs 53 cents.
Yeah, someone's dying in that process.
Yes, exactly.
And also, I'll have it next week.
Yeah.
Seven, six weeks later. That was back in our first show.
Yeah.
It's now show seven.
But you've risen to the challenge.
Here's what you said to me.
39 cents.
Bullshit.
What is it?
And it's something that you already have in your bedroom, but this is a car version of that exact device that is in your bedroom.
Now, I want to know, what do you think it is?
I literally have no idea.
Give me three things that are in your bedroom that you think it is.
I'm going to make this as dramatic as possible.
I'm telling you, I have no clue.
I was looking around my bedroom.
I was like, okay, I've got rugs.
Is it going to get me a car floor mat?
Okay, what else in your room?
I've got, I don't know, a stereo.
Are you going to get me a boom box to put on my passenger seat like it's the 80s?
That's boring, don't you think, Jenna?
Jenna's in studio with us now.
Hi, Jenna.
Hi, Jenna.
Hi.
Oh, sorry.
Turn her mic on, mate.
You've got one job.
Hello.
There she is.
Hi, Jen.
That's odd, Jen.
So, Jen, I'm going to pass it to you.
You can pass it to Mitch.
It's not pass the parcel. It feels that way. You could have just, I don't know odd, Jen. So, Jen, I'm going to pass it to you. You can pass it to Mitch. It's not past the parcel.
It feels that way.
You could have just, I don't know, stood up.
No, I don't want to do the cardio.
Okay.
Okay, so you've got the package in your hand.
I do.
Feel free to open it whenever you want.
I mean, it's 39 cents.
What could it be?
Jenna, where are the bloody scissors?
She's eating a cookie.
Take the cookie out.
What are you doing?
Those cookies were not for you.
I didn't find the scissors.
You didn't find any? Why'd you come in here then?
So you walked in here with
nothing. He said, Jenna, can you bring us some scissors?
And she just came in and sat down and started eating our food.
Fuck off, Jenna.
My car keys are here.
Use the key. Thank you.
Can you get rid of that intense music? I'm not on Star Wars.
I've never seen Star Wars.
I don't know if that music fits in.
Go find bloody scissors. The bloody chase.
Go find bloody scissors.
Brad has some.
Ask Brad, the VO guy.
Oh, I know.
He's got it, Jenny.
He's got it.
It's fine.
It's open.
Careful.
A white plume just erupted.
It looks like it's asbestos.
It's baby formula.
Optimal gold plus two.
This is very exciting.
The grand unboxing is happening.
The grand unboxing is on.
Here we go.
Oh, for the love of God.
Why would someone ever need this?
What is it?
It is a car humidifier.
So this is with my essential oil diffuser.
Yes! It's for your doTERRA oil diffuser!
Oh my god, Jane's going to be so proud. My mum's a doTERRA
mum. That's what I was going to say. At least you'll ring your
mum and she should invest in this.
Oh god, it looks like something you'd put...
It looks like a minion.
Oh, it does look very minion. Can I actually say it? I've never
seen this device. Oh, really?
I'm the first to touch it. So,
Mitch, in his room, the first time I went to his room, um, thank you room the first time i went to his room um thank you the first time i went to his room he had one of those essential
oil diffusers you put the water in then the oil and it's like a plume of white um mist and your
room smells nice and i felt so calm and i paid you out for a bit i'm like look at you with your
doTERRA then i was like look at me with my anxiety disorder it helps and then i had a migraine it's
like try these oils on your wrist. And it was very nice.
And then I saw this and thought he would love it.
So what it is, is a diffuser for
your car. It plugs into
the
cigarette lighter.
And then you just go from there.
Why don't we do a little, should we do a little test?
Do you have a cigarette lighter plug here?
No. I'm sure you've got
one in your car. Yes, I do. You've got my car keys. Why don't you go down to my car downstairs in the car park? I can't believe, do you actually want cigarette lighter plug here? No. I'm sure you've got one in your car. Yes, I do.
You've got my car keys.
Why don't you go down to my car downstairs in the car park?
I can't believe...
Do you actually want me to do that?
Yeah, I think we should.
You've got to test it.
Jenna, I'm not going to ask Jenna to get them.
She's not going to do it.
I'll get the portable mics, okay?
Okay.
By the way, I can't believe this was only 39 cents.
That's actually functional.
It's not like it's shit flimsy plastic.
It smells awful. I think I can smell the tears of the, that's actually functional. It's not like it's shit flimsy plastic. It smells awful.
I think I can smell the tears of the kid that died making it.
Okay.
I've got, Jenna, you come with me.
You've got to work off that cookie.
I've got the two portable mics.
Great.
So I'll use my own car.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm in the parking lot.
It might be easier.
I'm going to have to fill it with water, aren't I?
Yeah.
And essential oil.
Do you have any with you for your wrists?
Of course I don't.
Oh, no.
I didn't bring any.
I'll just use normal water.
It's fine.
Okay. Whatever. It was all a surprise.
Hello. Contesting. Can you hear me on the portable mic, Mitch?
Yeah, I can. I got you. Get out of here because you're being picked up on this too.
Oh, sorry. Alright. He's going down to his car. Where are my keys?
Get your keys. I didn't bring the instruction manual with me. Do you think
that's a problem? No, just
fill it up with water and plug it in.
This is nice. It's just me
and this pallet of cookies.
I counted them before I left, mate.
Okay, so...
Oh, God. That stream
is quite ferocious on that tap. Wow.
Okay, so are you in the kitchen of the
KISS building now? Yes, I've filled up the diffuser with water.
We're leaving now.
We're just headed downstairs.
Okay.
We're going down.
Yes, Jenna, we're going down.
Okay, so this little diffuser thing,
the thing I'm worried about is that my cigarette lighter port
that it plugs into is actually in one of the compartments so if I want to bloody have the essential oils calming me while I drive I'm going
to have to leave that thing open which means I don't have an armrest so that's already making
me more panicked all right we're outside what's the day like outside is it nice and hot still
it's smoky it's very smoky my auntie Jeanette must be in town on the dark. It's seriously so smoky out here.
It's backburning.
Are you heading to your 1999 Nissan Pulsar?
I have a 2018 Holden Astra.
How very dare you.
Such a country boy, Holden.
Oh, God, Jenna, there's a magpie in that tree.
This time of year I get very nervous.
Shit, Jenna.
I'm watching you, bitch.
Don't even think about it.
I got brutally attacked by one at Dubbo Zoo when I was 11 and I'll never forget it.
Jenna.
At the zoo of all places.
You wouldn't want animals to turn on you when you're at the zoo.
No.
Especially when you're riding a bike.
Oh, God.
Everything about that is just...
Is that why you're the way you are now, Jenna?
Yes, it honestly is.
Then I had to see a psychiatrist about it.
Okay, are we in the car yet?
I'm in the car park.
Sorry.
It's a wonderful afternoon.
There's no need to rush.
I'm in the studio alone with a pallet of cookies, mind you,
that are going down quite quick.
Well, I'm at the car now, okay?
It's unlocked.
Jenna, you go to the passenger side.
Can you honk the horn?
I want proof.
Oh, sorry.
I startled Jenna.
That was not nice.
Poor Jenna.
Okay, here we are.
We're in the vehicle.
Jenna, shut the door.
I'm shutting the door.
You don't need to.
You don't have to narrate it, Jenna.
Okay.
Vehicle is on because I'm assuming it would need to be.
Turning the radio off and listening to John Laws.
Where's the ciggy lighter?
Okay.
Oh, false alarm.
The cigarette lighter is in the middle.
I don't have to sacrifice my armrest.
It's all good.
Shit, you had me worried there.
My 39 cents was wasted.
All right, I've inserted it.
Oh, my God.
What's happening?
What?
Oh, it's got coloured lights.
It looks like a disco ball. Oh, my God. Is the happening? What? Oh, it's got coloured lights. It looks like a disco ball.
Oh, my God.
Is the mist coming out of it?
Yes, it's misting, but it's making my bloody car seat and my cup holder damp.
That's no good.
It won't stop.
Hold on.
So it's misting, is it?
Yes.
Oh, look at that.
Jenna's awing like it's a baby koala.
I want one.
Mitch, I don't know if you know this, but I give Jenna a lift to work every morning.
So I pick her up from her place and drive her to the office.
We are both perpetually panicked.
We should start pumping some doTERRA first thing in the morning, Jenna.
This could help.
Yeah.
Definitely.
You know what we should do, Mitch?
These are so cheap to produce and they're yellow.
We forgot to mention the colour is yellow, which is our show.
Is It Just Me's colour is yellow.
That's why it looks like a minion, yeah.
We should make Is It Just Me oil diffuser for the car merch.
Oh, my God.
We could just buy a bunch of these for not much money.
They're $0.39.
Slap a sticker on and then we charge $40.
Let's get it going.
Anyone willing to pay that kind of ridiculous money, hit us up.
Now, Mitch, congratulations.
You've successfully risen to the challenge of finding something cheaper than 53 cents online.
But I have bad news for you.
Oh, no, what?
I'm a bit of a sore loser.
And my housemate Jordan found out that you'd found something for cheaper than 53 cents.
And he's like, we can't have that.
So we went online shopping once again. Housemate Jordan found out that you'd found something for cheaper than 53 cents. And he's like, we can't have that.
So we went online shopping once again. And I hate to say it, but you are not the winner in this challenge.
You're a loser.
I found something even cheaper than 39 cents.
Shut up, Jenna, first of all.
Secondly, what?
You found something cheaper.
How much?
11 cents.
No, you did not.
For 11 cents, I got one yard of ribbon.
Why did you tell me?
You should have brought it in.
It's not arrived yet.
It'll probably be a week behind yours because I ordered it not long after you told me.
Well, I'm a sore loser too, so I'm going to find something until we get to 10 cents.
We'll go back and forth and we'll eventually have a one cent product.
I don't think it's interesting enough.
I think this ends here.
Jenna, do you agree?
Yeah, I think we'll end it there.
So we end on me being the winner.
Great.
That sounds like a perfect ending to this saga.
You're out there.
I'm in the studio.
I can end the show.
I'm playing the show closer.
I don't think you can hear it, but I'm in charge, guys.
Start walking up.
I'll do all the social stuff.
All right, cool.
It's been a great show.
Make your way up.
Is it just me on our socials?
That's not even our social handle.
Oh, he needs me back. It's been a great show. Make your way up. Is it just me on our socials? That's not even our social handle.
Oh, he needs me back.
At Couple of Mitches.
Please leave us a review.
We want to hit 100.
Our five stars would be great.
A written review is even better.
It keeps us on the air.
Thank you so much.
No, no, no.
Don't forget, Mitch.
We're not on the air.
We've decided we're in the cloud because it's streaming.
It's not radio.
True, true, true.
We'll be back in the cloud next Monday.
Bye, guys.
See you next week.
Thanks so much for listening, guys.
See you.
Is it just me?
Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app.
Mitch, are we doing AD Debrief still?
Yeah, I know what to say.
Okay.
Tell me if I get this right.
Hi.
Welcome to AD Debrief. This is the secret part of the show. Okay. Tell me if I get this right. Hi. Welcome to AD debrief.
This is the secret part of the show.
You'll hear me right.
I don't need you to do this.
I know, but I'm trying to take the lead.
This is the part of the show.
No holds barred.
We can do whatever we like.
I'm eating another cookie.
It's my shepherd.
It's the secret segment that we hope people are dumb enough to not hear because we do
the big wrap up.
Everyone thinks the show's over and then we just stick around
for a little bit and keep talking shit.
Absolutely nothing planned and it gets really messy
and not even that entertaining.
So I would suggest you stop listening now.
It's not exactly true because this is the part of the segment.
I've got to press the button.
Hold on.
Right there.
Oh, no.
He's going to do the live tweet.
We're in the elevator just letting everyone know.
There we go.
I've activated live streaming, a live tweeting sorry.
Oh, what the hell?
What's going on?
There's Halloween decorations left over in the elevator at work
and one of them just frightened our poor Jenna.
Of course it has.
Just leave her behind for Christ's sake.
What is happening?
I told you, Halloween decorations. Anyway,
this is the kind of
unhinged shit.
People leave me off.
Oh, we got our first live tweet!
Ha ha ha!
Oh, someone is requesting
sound effects. That
I can do.
Now, if you want to get a sound effect requested,
tweet us, or leave us a review and leave your sound effect,
and I'll get it on the air for you.
Get it on the cloud for you.
God, it's going to take a while to get used to.
Shelby Shattenger says she wants Waves music.
I love Shelby.
We're back.
Waves, Waves, Waves.
Hi, we're back.
Oh, you're in the studio.
Hold on.
There you go.
Your mic's all right.
It's just in time for this.
Shelby's asked for wave sound effects.
Oh, was that her request?
Yeah, but I didn't like that.
Shelby, I thought you were better than that.
Why are you encouraging him?
Well, Shelby, I've got you some options.
I'll just paint the picture.
Because you can't just play a sound effect.
You need backstory.
So Jenna and I were talking off air,
and she told me about a story about how she almost drowned at the age of three.
She was at the beach.
I wasn't at the beach.
I was actually in a pool.
There were gulls.
There were jelly blubbers.
In the pool.
There were blue bottles.
Jenna's swimming with her identical twin brother, Gareth.
Now I know what you're thinking.
Can you have identical boys and girls?
Yes.
I don't think you can.
No, but Jenna is the abnormality.
Oh, that makes sense.
So Jenna's brother, Gareth, has mousy brown hair, very long,
similar to Jenna's, and he's swimming.
And all of a sudden, Jenna!
Jenna!
Jenna!
Gareth?
Are you drowning?
No, I'm just going down on a woman.
And then as Gareth is swimming, drowning, Jenna runs in, Baywatch style,
grabs Gareth by his ponytail, pulls him out of the water,
starts giving him CPR.
He burps out the water and Gareth lives.
And there you go.
What the hell?
That's the story.
That was beautiful.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Gareth is alive to this day.
Oh, this sound effect thing.
I hate that our listeners have gotten amongst it.
I love that.
Because when I say that this is unplanned, I mean this is seriously unplanned.
Like, you just started playing sound effects one day and now it's a thing and I hate it.
I do it on my night show, Kiss FM, and you get mad at me because I play the same sound effects.
So every week I will, you know,
change it up.
Okay.
We've got a guest today, though.
This Melbourne grandmother
was sunbaking in a G-string
in her own backyard
when she was videoed by a drone.
A photograph from the vision
ended up on a real estate billboard.
Sure did.
She joins us now.
Hi, Barbara.
You're such an idiot.
That was from ACA.
Hey, by the way, look at how much water is not left on this diffuser.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, let's talk about this.
Can I have it?
Don't spill it on me.
Yeah, here.
So you're right.
It does look, where's the camera?
It does look a lot like a mint.
It's not filming.
I turn the cameras off as soon as we get to ADD because it's a secret segment.
I'm not going to post this shit online.
What it looks like is it's a normal car.
If you go on the socials.
I might, you know what?
Tomorrow morning, Jenna, remind me when I pick you up to come to work.
We'll film a little vlog with it in the action.
Please do.
Also, I want to use it.
You can use it for a week, but then I'll have to try it.
I didn't know that was part of the deal.
Well, the thing is, it's quite erect.
Oh, but does it come out of here?
Yes.
Ah, so would it go in like that?
Oh, yeah, that would work for me.
But mine goes in yay way, like vertical.
That's why it sprays it all over my seat.
Oh, no.
Oh, I get it.
Yours is like, so it's kind of like a pipe.
It goes upwards.
Yeah.
But yours would be vertical.
It would work in my car perfectly in my Mercedes Benz.
Oh, God.
Anyway. Jenna's just sent me a text.
She said Gareth has passed.
Sorry about that.
He drowned again.
You wouldn't believe it the next week.
But Jenna was on holidays.
Didn't save him.
That's pretty rude, Jenna.
I'm sorry I couldn't help it.
Why?
Where were you on holidays?
Oh, you were at that, um, you were at Disneyland, the Star Wars part, the new one that opened in July.
My biggest challenge in this bonus segment is going to be trying to move the conversation along so he stops doing that.
Because I feel like it's just, it's funny for a little bit, but oh.
Then you start to show your true colours, yellow in the main.
That was so funny.
Oh, he's just hilarious to listen to but also he said some he said plenty
of things over the years that i've done the whole oh i'm i'm outraged i'm never listening to john
laws again but then i always do i understand the whole shock jock effect now just because of alan
oh not alan um john laws one time he said he was reading from like some newspaper or something.
Oh, the HSC exams finished tomorrow.
Today's the second last day that the New South Wales high school students will sit their HSC.
Today they have the hospitality and drama exam.
And then he went on this massive rant about how, oh, kids shouldn't be doing drama and hospitality in school.
That's what you do for tertiary.
You should do all your base level subjects like your English and your maths and your history and your science all through high school.
And then when you get to uni, that's when you start going into your niche.
It's like drama and hospitality.
And I was like, get fucked.
There's no way I'm doing math any longer than I need to.
The only thing that got me through high school was drama.
Yeah.
On top of the state.
We're so queer.
I know.
Did you do drama, Jenna?
Yeah, I was in Home and Away.
So you're telling me the two of you have been on TV
and I haven't.
Why haven't you?
I've been on Studio 10 as well.
I was with Ghost.
Jenna wrangled her arms.
Jenna, if you're going to be in the studio and broadcasting,
you can't be shoving your mouth full of that shit.
Jenna, we're on the cloud here.
Yeah, exactly.
We're on cloud right now.
We are.
We're on cloud.
We're on cloud nine.
Let's not even say the.
We'll just say instead of on air, we'll just say where air is,
we say cloud.
So on cloud.
Oh, I have to get a sound effect for that.
Here we go.
Get some thunder.
Sorry, that was the song Thunder by Imagine Dragons.
So I can't believe you got swooped by a magpie at Dubbo Zoo.
How upsetting.
Yeah, I struggled to hear that.
Talk us through that story.
Okay.
Can you turn her up?
She's very quiet.
Yeah, go, Jenna.
The year was 2003.
I was 10 years old.
She was in the prime of her life, really.
Saddle Club was still on air.
We're in season three of McLeod's Daughters.
Claire hadn't died yet.
Hold on.
I can actually set the scene.
All was well. I can set the
scene. Walk into Dubbo Zoo.
And that's just her mum being like, Jenna, put sunscreen
on. You eat the semijas
after midday. Not at nine, Jenna.
Not at nine.
If only
Gareth was here to enjoy it.
Why would you play that sound effect?
Because Gareth loved the zoo.
Because he's died.
You don't play a ding sound effect and alleluia music when someone dies.
Okay, you could find a better alleluia chorus than that.
No, I'm not encouraging it.
Jenna, carry on.
So Jenna walks to Dubbo Zoo and she's opening the chips already.
Jenna, the chips!
Stop with the sound effects.
For after we go on the zip line.
Stop with the sound effects.
Okay, sorry.
I arrived at Dubbo2 with my family and we decided to bike ride around the park.
Yep.
And it was three quarters around when a magpie decided to swoop down on me.
Nobody else, just me.
I was still riding my bike.
I didn't fall.
Oh, well then why is it traumatic if you didn't fall?
Because it was on my head for like two minutes.
Everybody was laughing.
And apparently the rangers could hear me on the other side of the park,
which is kilometres away.
Here we are.
We literally can't turn your mic up any louder.
And I still have to manually boost you in post,
but the rangers could hear you from a kilometre away.
You should have heard my scream.
Do an impression.
Really?
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
The microphone was off.
Bradley just looked.
He could hear you through the soundproof glass.
He just looked like, what's going on in there?
The thing is, it actually happened when she was a kid
and I have the exclusive audio.
I said stop with the sound effects, please.
Time and a place.
You derail the conversation.
True, true, true.
Anyway, what's happening, guys?
See, you derailed it.
I was going to say, John Laws has,
I think we'll talk about my show next week.
I'd just love to get the promo in.
But I have a wall.
It's like a sound effect thing, which I do for this show,
but I've got my own for my night show.
It's more serious.
And I have a whole bunch of calls that I can use generically.
So last night, Sean Mendes was in Melbourne, and I went,
oh, Gabby, you were there.
How was Sean?
He played his piano, sang some songs.
He sounded so beautiful.
Whoa.
A month later.
Oh, my God!
So you were at the Elton John concert in Wollongong.
How was he?
He played his piano, sang some songs, sounded so beautiful.
And it's so versatile.
Hi, Julieta.
Yeah, you were at the Pope's funeral.
Oh, my God.
And the Cardinal was there.
What happened?
He played his piano, sang some songs, sounded so beautiful.
Next time you listen to the radio, here's a tip from us to you.
Listen for specifics because if they don't go into them,
it's probably a generic shit call from ages ago.
And we get very, very good at it.
Do you have any others?
I'm sure he played In My Blood, right?
Yeah, a couple of times.
Everyone loves that.
A couple of times.
That's not true.
Did you have a massive orgy in front of your parents at Christmas?
Yeah, a couple of times. Everyone's not true. Did you have a massive orgy in front of your parents at Christmas? Yeah, a couple of times.
Everyone loves that.
What about, I heard you beheaded your boyfriend.
How was that?
Yeah, it was so amazing.
He was incredible.
Oh, that's so nice.
He didn't put up a fight or anything.
Have you got any others?
Yeah, I've got a couple.
I don't want to ruin my...
Is that what being a radio jock is, by the way?
You isolate everyone sentence by sentence.
No, no.
Because that would be so tedious.
No, no, no.
This is just what I do as a backup for an emergency.
What's an emergency?
When I go live, the caller drops out.
So I got a live caller.
Hey, Julie, how was it?
And then she goes...
Oh my gosh, hold on.
Oh God, I make a bit of fun.
Oh God, Julie!
I told you to get off speakerphone. She's probably on that vintage Sony Ericsson. Oh, my gosh. Hold on. Oh, God. I make a bit of fun. Oh, God. Julie, I told you to get off speakerphone.
She's probably on that vintage Sony Ericsson.
Oh, she's back.
Talk to me.
How was the concert?
What was it like?
Paint a picture as if I was there.
Just sang songs, played a bit of piano.
See?
Good save.
What's that sentence?
He sang songs, played some piano.
This one's called Gibberish because still to this day, I don't know what it means.
We were just going to say what Shawn Mendes song we wanted.
She just said we were listening to say what Shawn Mendes song we wanted.
Oh, I literally have written gibberish because I couldn't understand it.
Hold on, play it again.
We were just ringing to say what Shawn Mendes song we wanted.
We were just ringing to say what Shawn Mendes song we wanted
because you lie to your audience and say,
lines are always open, make a request.
Well, they are always open.
They are not.
I made a request and it was was not i'm not kidding i have called 13 1065 between the hours of nine and midnight because
maybe i've been driving home with friends and been like oh mitch is on let's give him a call
i don't think you've ever answered me in the whole time you've been doing this show it's been a year
right yeah because your number comes up and I don't want to talk to you.
No, but my number's under an alias.
It's like Jenny from Liverpool
or something.
I know that means it's you, though.
Why do you ignore me?
Whenever you ring,
I've set it up to go,
where's this guy?
He's ringing.
I can't.
I challenge anyone in Sydney
to call 31065 next week
and people in Melbourne
and see if Mitch actually answers
between nine and midnight.
You will.
Or next week we're giving away soda streams.
Great.
Anyway, I'm done with the sound effects.
Sorry.
They're pissing me off officially.
All good.
Should we swap seats again?
That wasn't me.
That was someone in the building.
That's not a sound effect.
It's not me.
That's not me.
That's someone who works in IT.
All right. This show is dragged on. We should go. It's not me. That's not me. That's someone who works in IT. All right.
This show is dragged on.
We should go.
This isn't me.
Guys, they're not sound effects.
I'm not doing it.
These aren't sound effects.
Oh, shit.
They've got Gary.
That was a big one at the end
lucky we're so high up in the sky
alright guys thanks so much for listening
I have a story I want to talk about
well then why are you wasting valuable time
with this
I got a DM
to the is it just me
Instagram it's
couple of mitches and
it was Hayden Cden cousins no it wasn't
marissa from woolen gong shout out marissa marissa dm'd us and said i'm listening to ep 6 last
episode and i will say rooster rolls are made daily but you're probably eating one that is one
to two days old that's probably been refrigerated, and that's why it's moist.
I used to work for Red Rooster because you had a query.
You're like, why is this roll moist?
Why is it wet?
Why is it soggy?
And yet I love it.
Yeah, that's what they do.
They must make them and sell the ones they sell on that day
and the ones they don't sell, they chuck in the fridge
and resell tomorrow and eat.
I love that.
Oh, I don't.
Oh, as if you haven't eaten food that's a couple of days old.
Like reheating food.
Yeah, I ate a YouFoods last night that was probably three days out of date.
And the bubble, you know how it's like sealed, vacuum sealed?
Oh, it starts to expand.
It was bubbled.
You know how you stab it with a knife to put in the microwave?
I was like, poof.
I'm like, poof.
Yeah.
I'm like, I probably shouldn't eat this.
But I did.
It was great.
I've done that before.
Why are you on the YouFoods?
Are you trying to drop some KGs?
I'm trying to save some money.
They're not even that cheap when you think of the portion.
Yeah, but I'll be Uda.
Like I'm Swedish.
I'll be ordering.
I'll be ordering Uber Eats every night here at Kiss.
And it is $35 a night.
You've got the cash.
You're fine.
I don't have the cash.
That works out to be like almost $150 a week.
I can't afford it.
Jenna, he can so afford it.
He doesn't pay rent.
It's not true.
He bought a new car.
I did buy a new car because my other car blew up in the Sydney Harbour Bridge tunnel.
A lot of money, that one.
I had to buy that car outright.
Okay, I've got a contact.
Hey, Jenna, Mitch and I were talking about something.
We're still undecided whether we should do it or not.
Possibly for an ADD reef.
It's like the X-rated version of Is It Just Me?
Yeah.
Like sex talk and stuff like that.
I still don't think we should do it.
What do you think, Jenna?
Because once you've heard graphic details about what someone gets up to,
which, by the way, we talk about anyway.
That's why we brought up the idea, because we're having a very graphic conversation.
And you were like, I was like, that would be a good story for on air if it wasn't filthy
and like deeply personal.
The cloud.
Oh, sorry, for on cloud.
And you're like, oh, we could do an X-rated Is It Just Me at the end where we talk about
all these things.
And I'm like, I don't think I can, because once you've heard those stories, you can't
unsee it in your mind.
I think it could be fun.
We could get Brad to go, is it just me?
Is it just me?
Insert Jenna's magpie scream.
Is it just me?
Is it just me?
Jenna, what do you say?
You know, let me tell you, she'd have something to add to that story
or what happens on Contiki
stays on Contiki. Is that right, Jenna? Jenna?
Unacceptable. Sorry.
Disgusting.
Just give us your answer, yes or no?
I'm not a fan of the idea. Okay, that's
fine. So far it's two against one.
Let's put it out to the people. I haven't decided.
I don't think I want to do it. Well, let's ask the guys
listening. If you made it this far, send us a DM at couple of Mitch's or just tweet us or you've got
our own personals.
Let us know if you want an X rated and what you'd like to hear.
Yeah, I was going to say, go into specifics because I don't want to just start talking
aimlessly about filthy shit if it's not interesting.
No one wants to hear what we do.
We'll do a Q&A, an X rated Q&A.
Also, I'm not doing anything that exciting.
Aren't you?
Well, it's also a strong standard.
Well, let me tell you,
Jenna got absolutely ravaged.
Really? Please, let's move on.
What happened? On the bus? No! On the bus?
No! Okay, let's not put that on Jenna.
If she wants to talk about that, then she can talk about that on the X-rated show.
I'm actually already worked out as something we can
play. Wait there. Can you look up child warning?
I think the Edge have one. Yeah, yeah, here it is. Ready, so...
Warning.
This discussion is not suitable for children.
Nice.
If your small children can hear this now,
move your small children to a panic room or secure location
where there is no radio.
Where there is no clown.
Can we quickly do something before we go?
Can we ring your mum?
I just want to see if she'd be interested in the doTERRA.
I think that's a good idea.
I just want to really quickly ring Jane Coombs
because she got you onto the essential oils.
We'll end the show on it.
Oh, well, I really wish you'd done this earlier
because we've already gone on way too long.
That's fine.
I want every show we do to be under an hour.
Last week's was an hour and three minutes.
That's fine.
We're already failing.
Three's my lucky number.
What's a number?
We'll cut it out. I'll come dial it What's the number? We'll cut it out.
I'll come dial it.
Because when you say we'll cut it out, you mean
I'll cut it out.
It's not wrong. Mitch needs to calm
down. That was from Judy underscore Dench.
Oh my God, Judy Dench!
How sweet.
Good morning.
Hello.
Hello. Oh, hi, Ian. How are you? are you good and you it's your middle child yeah i know
i guess that your mummy's not well oh isn't she no she's been in parks today helping run that course
she had to teach old people how to use pewters yeah and uh she's come home and she's crook i
hope she's got food poisoning but why do I hope she's got food poisoning, but...
Why do you hope she's got food poisoning?
So that it's not something she can pass on to me.
Oh, right, yeah.
Food poisoning's no good, I've had that.
Mmm.
Anyway, I'm actually, I'm recording my podcast at the moment,
and for some reason Mitch wanted to harass Jane,
but she's ill, so it won't be happening.
Hello, Ian, it's the other Mitch. How are you?
Hi, Mitch, how are you, mate?
I'm good, I have to say, I look forward to meeting you one day.
Excellent.
We'll do that.
I'd love to come up to Bogan Gate.
Well, you're welcome here, yes.
Jenna's also here.
You know Jenna?
I've met you before, Jenna.
How are you?
Yes, I'm good.
How are you?
Very well, thank you.
We'll tell Jane that we send our well wishes.
We just had a product that we think she'd like.
We can get her on the show like We can get her on the show
We'll get her on the show
Actually, this could heal her
Maybe we should
Is she in the place to speak?
Yeah, I think so
I'll just get up there and see
Because I was just up there talking to her
I'll put her on if she's able
Hang on a minute
I'm nearly there
Lovely to meet you
Yeah, likewise, Mitch
And good to catch up again, Jenna
You too
And Janie So Jane teaches these iPad courses Yeah, likewise, Mitch. And good to catch up again, Jenna. You too.
And Janie.
Jenna.
So Jane teaches these iPad courses because in the drought it's isolating and they want to teach all the technology tards how to use iPads
so they can keep in touch with their loved ones in the drought.
That is beautiful.
Jane doesn't know how to use a fucking iPad, though, so she calls me.
Jane!
Hi, Jane.
Hi.
It's Mitch, Mitch and Jenna. It's Mitch, Mitch and Jenna.
Hi, Mitch, Mitch and Jenna.
Sounds like a sitcom from the 80s, doesn't it?
That got cancelled because two of them were gay.
Could you imagine?
Get them off the air.
As long as I don't start throwing up, I'm happy to talk to you.
Are you okay?
Not really.
I feel really, really ill.
Dear, oh, dear.
You do have two-day-old red roots, though.
Hit me with it.
Well, Jane, this is something that I thought you'd like.
Mitch bought something on...
Can I get a word in?
She's my mother.
I'm excited to talk to her.
You tell the story.
Well, since you're ill, it's kind of apt that this has happened, Jane,
because Mitch has just purchased a gift for me that I apparently have to give back.
No worries.
That I think you would absolutely adore.
So you know how you introduced me to the doTERRAs, your bloody essential oil scheme?
Yeah.
He's given me one that goes in the car.
You plug it into the ciggy lighter and it makes a little mist in the car.
A doTERRA one?
It's not doTERRA brand.
I'm so sorry.
You'd have to ruin your loyalty there.
It's non-name brand.
It's like an eBay thing.
Oh, really?
Well, what oil's it got in it?
Oh, I don't have any oil because he didn't warn me.
But guess how much it costs.
I think you could afford it even in the drought.
How much?
39 cents.
No postage.
Oh, you're kidding me.
I never kid, Jane.
And it's bright yellow, Jane.
I can put my oils into it and have it in the car.
Yes.
And I know what you're like as a driver, very tense.
So you could do with that.
Oh, my goodness.
I could top it up with balance and calm.
Do you know what I think we do?
Do you say hemp?
I'm not even kidding.
She goes to sleep with marijuana oil in the room.
And she puts a drop of it under her tongue.
And she's like, oh, I've never had the most relaxing sleep I've ever had in my life.
And I was like, yeah, because you greened out.
I want some, Jane.
Can you please send some?
I want to try.
I get awful migraines.
Genuinely.
Oh, do you?
Yeah, I've got a brain condition, which I won't go into because Mitch...
Chiari malformation.
Yeah, you can Google it.
It's called Chiari malformation.
That's nice that you remember.
My boyfriend doesn't even remember.
And my brain's herniating through the spinal cord,
so it gets crushed.
So I get awful, awful migraines.
So I'd be down to try anything.
I'm going to look into that for you.
Thank you.
I'd absolutely love that.
And I don't know why I'm lying here trying not to throw up
when I can go and get one of my oils and put it on my stomach
to get rid of the nausea.
You should.
But my point is, Mitch, we don't need this.
I don't need it.
You don't need it.
Jenna doesn't need it.
Why don't we send it to your mum?
What do you mean I don't need it?
I haven't tried it yet.
I could need it.
You can try it for a week.
He's got oils he could put in it.
Exactly.
Jane gave me my own bloody kit.
Well, why don't we try it for a bit,
then we send it to your mum and get her to review it.
Or how about it won't break the bank to buy a second one
for 39 cents.
I'll get her one.
Jane, it took six weeks to get here from one for 39 cents. I'll get her one.
Jane, it took six weeks to get here from Abu Dhabi.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I'm excited.
I don't think I can wait that long.
It looks like a little minion.
We'll send you a photo.
It's very cool.
Yeah, and I'd like one of those because then I'm on long trips and then I can oil all the way there.
I wonder if it'll steam up the windscreen.
Yeah, maybe, like a sauna. It'd be quite romantic.
Bit of Titanic action. Hand on the window,
Jane. Yeah, exactly.
Anyway. Mitch, put some balance
in it. Okay, I will.
Get that into your
emotions. You go,
rest up, put a hot wheat bag on your tummy.
No, I've got
oil for that. Oh, right. Sorry.
What oil's for your tummy?, right. Sorry. What oils for your tummy?
Digestions.
Okay.
Yep, meant to stop the nausea.
It helped Nicole when she had really bad reflux with pregnancy.
Oh, there you go.
Well, I'm not pregnant, but I get reflux.
So send that with the brain one too.
I could just bet.
Well, I've got a feeling that it might be.
Oh, I've got past tense for headaches.
Okay.
Yeah. Sounds like Wingardium Leviosa.
This is some Harry Potter stuff.
Mitchell, can you message,
send a message of the name of his condition
because I won't remember.
Sure, Jane.
So I can look into it for you.
That's very nice.
How do you spell it?
F-U-C-K-E-D-I-N-T-H-E-H-E-A-D.
Funny, very funny.
Yeah, no, we'll definitely do some research
Thank you Jane
Alright you go get some rest
We're going to go
We're going to end the show
Love to talk to you
Hope you feel better soon
Thanks guys
Love you all
Thanks Jane
Feel better soon darling
Bye
See you Jane
Bye
Love you
Bye
God she's absolutely beautiful
She's ill
And now you've got her
Googling your brain condition
It'll take her mind off the nausea.
What was she putting on her stomach?
Echinacea or something?
I don't know.
She's literally got an oil for everything.
She's insane.
That's so beautiful.
All right, well, let's wrap up.
You're going to review this.
It'll be on the socials if you want to see what the diffuser looks like.
Diffuser in action.
Nice.
Jenna, you'll have to film because I'll be driving.
Okay.
What a week it's been.
We'll see you next week.
Please leave us a review. Five stars. Sorry. Oh, God, you'll have to film because I'll be driving. Okay. What a week it's been. We'll see you next week. Please leave us a review.
Five stars.
Sorry.
Oh, God, you're coughing now.
I was looking that whole time that I was on the phone to Jane.
Why is there no cough mute button on my side?
We don't have any more.
We got rid of it.
What?
Oh, who's that?
Do you have one?
Pardon?
Do you have one?
I can just go.
You tell me when you want to cough.
We'll practice.
Ready?
Wait.
Talk into it. Yes. Now go to cough and you. We'll practice. Ready? Wait. Talk into it.
Yes.
Now go to cough and you tell me.
Signal.
Ready?
Well, no.
I'm going to show you how the cough mic works.
I like the luxury of having my own cough mute.
Go.
I'm going to cough.
Go.
Why do you need to show me?
I understand the concept.
Cough.
Jenna.
What about my face says that I don't comprehend what a cough mute button does?
Nothing.
This is when we start to fight, when we go on for too long.
Yes.
We need to end it.
We were about to wrap and then you called my fucking ill mother.
I didn't call...
Jane said, love the chat.
Thank you for calling me even though I'm ill.
That's so sweet.
Oh my God, she's ringing back.
No, get rid of it.
She wants to keep talking to me.
Oh, and that's your dad.
And that's a doTERRA official.
Oh my God, everyone's ringing.
The whole two people that live in Bergen go.
It's been an absolute pleasure.
One of the best shows I've ever done.
I agree with you there.
Thanks, Jenna.
I didn't say that.
Yeah, you did.
We'll see you next week.
Mitch, anything else to say?
No, I don't think...
We've said way too much.
Okay.
We'll see you then.
All right.
Say goodbye.
Farewell, everyone everyone thank you so much
