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

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

Don't forget Chin-On. Who? Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coon. Yeah, I feel a little dusty for episode 70, Mitchell. G'day, guys. Welcome along. I'm feeling fine, actually, all things considered. I feel like a corpse.

You don't drink much, so I feel like you're always going to suffer more. So last night, guys, we were at Kyle Sanderland's 50th birthday. No, no, Kyle Sanderland's 50th boat party. Thank you very much. I got boat music. We can talk about it. Of course you did. It took me so long to find this. Kyle's boat party on Sydney Bloody

Harbour. I feel like this music is a bit more like pirate ship. We were on a super yacht. Is this more? Hold on, this might be the right horn. Yes! That's it.

How cheeky of me, by the way. I RSVP'd yes when I was invited when I was still working for Kyle and Jackie O. Oh, smart. And then I resigned and was like, sucked in. I already RSVP'd, so I'll see you there. I'll be there. Hey, Prizekeeper Jen is here as well. Hi, Prizekeeper Jen.

Hello. You weren't invited to the party because you work for nemesis of Kyle Sanderland, Jonesy and Amanda. Yes. So last night, the boat party, I did not realise. We were actually talking about it. We were like, oh, we shouldn't really. Well, let's not really talk about it on the podcast.

It's probably not that interesting to other people. Wrong. I didn't realise how much outside interest there was. Oh, my God. We shouldn't really, well, let's not really talk about it on the podcast. It's probably not that interesting to other people. Wrong. I didn't realise how much outside interest there was. Oh, my God. Like, I get that he's, you know, the highest paid broadcaster in Australian history. But, like, I didn't realise people gave a fuck about his birthday party. There were paps following us on other boats. Yeah, literal dinghies following our super yacht.

It was on 7 News. There was a shot of me going for what was probably my 49th champagne top. I did see that. I saw that. I was like, oh, fuck. Me from behind. I looked like a beluga whale on the boat. You know how I get the Sunday paper delivered?

Yes, you do because you got my Stella last week. Front page. Was it? Yeah. With you in it? No, I wasn't on the front page. No, I thought that was the photo. It was the birthday.

All I'm saying is I didn't realise people cared so much, but apparently they do. We had to get there at a certain time, 30 minutes before the boat docked. We're walking together and then there's paparazzi. Anyway, the paparazzi. You've never seen a paparazzo lift and then drop his camera quicker. He was like, oh, no, no. He's like, I don't know who those fucking clowns are.

Don't want to waste my SD card space. It's only a 12 gig. So we walk on the boat. And anyway, the boat leaves. And then Kyle, how long? About 30 minutes into the boat ride? Yeah, probably. But yeah, he arrived on his own boat and joined us in the middle of the harbour.

And had to jump from one boat to the other. Are you right? I feel like hell. Oh, Jenna, can I tell you why he feels like hell? No, don't. No, why? Why? Well, a bit of a team intervention needs to happen, I feel.

No, it's not that bad. Because here I am being mocked by you guys because of my little vaping habit. And you call me things like disgusting and like, oh, that's so bad for you. You're revolting. You're revolting, yeah. Well, guess who, Jenna? No. Much like a newborn calf to its mother's teat was suckling away on a vape last night.

No, I wasn't. Mitchell Cheery. Mitchell Cheery and our producer contraceptive diaphragm, Sam, who was too hungover to show up today. He's not even here. No one has heard from Sam. He hasn't surfaced. And so I'm copying all this flack. Our listeners are on board the roasting, tagging me and shit,

you know, being like, oh, the dangers of vaping, all this stuff, vaping memes. And I'm like, why am I copying this when everyone's doing it? Jenna owns one. Jenna? Yes. Jenna has a vape. Do you vape?

No, I don't. You just have one? Yeah. It's just a souvenir. Bullshit. Let me just say, let me paint a picture for you. So you're there, you're on the boat, everyone's having fun. You've got, you know, there's gulls in the distance, drinking, partying.

Someone goes, here, try a melon grapefruit jamboree. Oh, so it wasn't yours? No, it wasn't mine. Okay. It was someone's, like, try this. And I tried it. I went, coughed my lungs up. You were there.

I almost had cardiac arrest on the deck of the ship. Actually, that would have been horrific. What did they say to us? They were like, oh, there's a code word if the boat sinks. Well, that's actually what my idjim's about, so can you not bring this up now? Sorry. Hooked you in for later. This is the issue with us not telling each other our idjim. Very true, very true. There was a good flavour

though. Grapefruit, maybe. Why am I thinking grapefruit? Once again, if you haven't started vaping, don't start. Don't do it. We don't endorse. Because the reason that I got myself in a spot of bother is because I became hooked on them and I wasn't just social vaping. I was starting to do it like all the time in bed at home and stuff.

So that's what I'm quitting. Exactly. Doing it at home. I locked them in the storeroom downstairs. Did you actually? Yes. So it's like a lot of effort to go and get them. I have to find the keys and shit.

Oh God. Well, it's going to be a fun show. If it's your first time listening, this is... Is it just... Oh, God. Is it just me? Do you want me to do it? No, I think I've got it.

Is it just me? We start the show the same way every week. We do idjams. Something we've noticed. Something we hate or appreciate. Idjams is, is it just me? If you're new here, some people get confused with that. Yes, and it's I-I-J-M.

People are like, I've got an E-D-J-I-7-M. It's like, what the fuck? Where did you get that spelling from? Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's. We also have a guest coming up later in the show. We spoke to Channel 10's Angela Bishop. Yes, we've been saying we're going to get her on the podcast for ages.

We caught up with her a couple of days ago. It was awesome. We spoke to her about the time that she also rocked up to work hungover and had a bit of a blow up at a celeb because she had a bit of a short fuse. A big celeb. Because she was hungover. And also all the time she spent with Oprah in Australia. And yes, regular listeners, if you're wondering,

I did ask her something that she thinks is better than drugs and dick. She added to the list. She had a good answer too. She did. You'll hear that later on. We did also ask if she remembers my drunk encounter that happened a couple weeks ago. Yes. So, stand by for that.

Hey, by the way, speaking of Channel 10. Yeah. I wanted to show you this thing I saw on TikTok the other day. Yeah. Someone posted a video watching 10 News in Melbourne. Yeah. And they were like, sorry, what was that newsreader's name? Did I hear that correctly?

I'll put the audio over there for you. Okay. 10 News grab? Yeah. Listen the audio over there for you. Okay. 10 News Grab? Yeah, listen to this. What do you think her name is? All right. This is 10 News First Melbourne with Jennifer Cunt. Good evening.

Hello, Jennifer Cunt. No. Is that real? What do you think her name is? I mean it's quite It's Jennifer Cunt With Jennifer's cunt Just a vagina on the desk

Good evening I don't know if I need to own that name No it's Jennifer Kite K-Y-T-E Listen again Listen again Also there's a delay after she says it This is 10 News First Melbourne

With Jennifer Cunt Good evening Poor Jennifer I know This is 10 News First Melbourne with Jennifer Kite. Good evening. Poor Jennifer. I know. It's Kite, but I'm dead. How did Kite and Kunt sound alike? Anyway, Ant Bishop, coming up on the show later on, who wants to go first with the idjams?

You kind of already alluded to mine, so do you want me to go first? Yeah, please go first. I need to cough up like a kilo of nicotine. No, I need you to talk back. Yes, I will. It's not a monologue. Sorry. It just gives me more time to mine. So do you want me to go first? Yeah, please go first. I need to cough up like a kilo of nicotine. No, I need you to talk back. Yes, I will. It's not a monologue. Sorry. It just gives me more time to breathe. You can kick us off tonight. Alright, let's go. Is it just me? Or? Have you ever had to use an emergency code word before?

Oh. So yeah, like we mentioned, we were at Kyle Sandiland's birthday party last night. It was a boat party. And before we took off into the ocean on the boat, they told us in the event of some sort of emergency, whether it be a sinking or some sort of shit like that, they would give us a certain code word. I can't remember what it was exactly. It was really weird. But let's just say, you know, it was May Day or whatever. Yeah. But it was something weirder than May Day. Yeah.

It was really obscure. I can't even remember what it was. weirder than May Day. Yeah, it was really obscure. I can't even remember what it was. Like, not related to boating. No, nothing to do with that. It was like Montreal. Something like that. And then they'd give us all life jackets and stuff. But I had the same scenario when I worked at Macca's.

Oh, God. Really? We were trained if an armed robber comes in and tries to rob you of the till. All us checkout bitches at the front counter. 17-year-olds. Yeah, I was 14 and very pimply. Boys hadn't broken yet. You'd slip on the floor if you tried to run. So we were trained if someone comes into the store

and says, give me all the money in the till, you just give it to them because Maccas has enough money. You do have to use a code word that everyone else in the building or the other staff are aware what it actually means. Can I guess? To alert everyone what it is. No, I was actually going to show you. I'm going to do a role play.

Oh, this is fun. So you're going to be the robber. Oh, great. Yeah, typecast. I'd be robbing a Maccas true. Yes, and I will be Mitchell Coons, the Maccas employer. I've got some Maccas ambca's True, so that fits. And I will be Mitchell Coons, the Macca's employer. I've got some Macca's ambience. Oh my god.

Hi, what can I get for you today? See this? This is a gun. I want you to open the till and I want you to give me all the nuggets and all the chips in this building. And all the money. Okay, sir. No worries. Ronald!

Who's Ronald? Who's Ronald? Who's Ronald? See, that's my problem. That's my problem. The code word to alert all the other Macca staff that there's a robbery taking place was Ronald. You had to scream Ronald so everyone heard it and they'd be like, fuck, something's going down. Everyone knew what that meant. But I'm like, wouldn't that make the gunman a bit sus?

Yeah. Ronald. What about if your name was Ronald? Yeah. Yeah. Also, how ridiculous. If you work at Gucci and someone's trying to rob it, I doubt the catchphrase should just be, Gucci!

Gucci! That's stupid. Or at KFC, Colonel! Yeah. It'd sound like, Footlong! It's not really the same. No, it's not. That's not their mascot.

No, there's no mascot. But yeah, I never got to use the It's not really the same. No, it's not. That's not their mascot. No, there's no mascot. But yeah, I never got to use the Ronald's emergency alarm, thankfully. Did you hear anyone use it? No, never. But everyone knew what it meant. But over this cacophony of bullshit. That is so triggering. And my Macca's store that I worked at in Forbes had the same fucking so fresh CD from 2002 for years.

Playing on loop? Yes. So it was always the same music and this. Oh, God. What about if, like, a dad or something has a son named Ronald and he's in the... Yeah. And he's like, come on, Ronald!

Or there's a poor kid named Ronald in the store that walks up and goes, you called me? Get shot in the head. So you're telling me it's like this. They're a Maccas working. Maybe it's about this fucking year. No, their fucking playlist was not this up to date, let me assure you. It's 2021, so it's like this. They're a Maccas working. Maybe it's about this volume, right? No, they're plucking playlists with not this up to date. Let me assure you.

It's 2021, so there's Dua Lipa. They were playing Holly Valance. Okay, who's Holly Valance? How dare you? Former neighbour's star. Oh. Oh, I know this song. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it was this song. Okay, so you're a Maccas. Yep. Can this take you back? Yeah, 100%. Oh, my God. I could literally smell it. My uniform would reek afterwards. Now do the roleplay.

Now do the roleplay. We already did the roleplay. Okay, sorry. You're wasting time. What's your origin? This is chaos! All right, my turn. Is it just me or...?

Have we gotten to a point where we really should have evolved through ingrown toenails? Wasn't this in Jenna's junk once? No. There was ingrown toenails in my junk. Yes. You deemed this not good enough to use and now you're using it. No.

No, because I feel like it falls into the same category as adult circumcision. It should be a surgery you can elect to get at birth. Yeah, but plenty of people don't get circumcised. I know, but at birth you just chuck, chuck, butt. I like an uncut toe, personally. What's your preference? Cut. That's disgusting.

I have another one. I have another one. Is it just me or is plain Wi-Fi the worst? Is that junk too? No, it's not just you. It's pretty shit. It's horrendous. It's the worst.

Isn't it the worst thing ever? Yeah. It doesn't work. No. Good chat. Yeah. It's really bad. You're listening to Is It Just Me?

A podcast by a couple of midges. Okay, keep us on the cloud. Don't forget you can leave us a five-star review and that keeps the pod going. You can do it on Facebook. We're getting a lot on there these days. Apple Podcasts. Please five stars if you fancy.

It keeps us going. Plus, if your review gets read out on the podcast, Pricekeeper General will send you out a limited edition Season 3 Ijem mug, which you can buy. Yep. Yes, you can buy your own or you can win it by leaving a review. But if you hear your review read out, you have to message Jenna on our Instagram account

at couple of Mitches to claim it. Within a week. Within the first seven days. We are selling them, yes, signed and non-signed, if you want a piece of our own. Yep, so link now Instagram buy if you want to buy a mug. Becca Winfield Gillies has won herself one. She left us a review on Facebook.

She says, when I discovered two of my favourite social media personalities at a podcast together, it was love at first listen. Throw in Jenna and Sam and it's a certified banger. I'm even willing to overlook the fact that the Blue Heelers theme song didn't make the top ten. Who cares? Was that that dog show?

No. Blue Heelers was like a cop show. Why do I think there's got a dog in there? They were on the ocean or something. They were on a boat. Isn't it a vet, really? Yeah. Shit, a lot of boat talk.

All right, Becca. She says, always look forward to the new episode and 6pm Instagram Lives every week. In the words of Wise Molly, do yourself a favour. What does that mean? Don't know, but we'll see you on Instagram, Becca. Yay! Becca Winfield-Gillies, you got yourself a mug.

Thanks, Beck. You'll send that out,field Gillies. You got yourself a mug. Thanks, Beck. You'll send that out, Jenna, right? Of course. Well done. Let's go to Apple Podcasts, which is sort of like the hub. I think we're the majority listening. Well, your reviews there actually help us climb the chart, so that's probably more of a favour.

But we do have people asking, how do I leave reviews if I don't use Apple? Facebook, I guess. But I'm pretty sure you can actually download the Apple Podcasts app on non-Apple devices, which is weird. There you go. Alex J55555 left us a review. He says, Monday's the best day of the week, which isn't a, you know, universally themed

shared opinion. Yeah. Honestly, I don't know how I got through Mondays at work before this podcast. My co-workers must think I've lost my mind when I cackle out loud while doing paperwork. Monday's become my favorite day of the week, and I love having this podcast to look forward to. I especially appreciate Prizekeeper, Gr Grounds Keeper, Producer, Jellicle Cat, Jenna.

Oh, that is so beautiful. Don't worry, Jenna, you'll gaslight them back one day. Enjoy your mug, Alex. Thank you, Alex. Do you know what? You guys have – I was thinking about this the other day, actually, and that reminded me. You guys have never really pranked me on the show.

Like, we fuck with Jenna all the time. We've fucked with you a few times, but I don't think you've ever pranked me. We're terrified to. No, I want you to. No, I couldn't do it. I don't know how. I wouldn't. You don't put enough actual work into the show in order to be able to do a prank.

Yes, I could. I've thought about doing pranks. But my issue is I run them past you first. I'll be like, oh, what if we do this? Yeah, don't do that. Sorry. Okay, well, there you go. Maybe there's one imminent.

Maybe this whole show's a prank. Don't do it next week. That's too obvious. It was an Angela Bishop impersonator. It wasn't her. She's right. By the way, speaking of Apple Podcasts, you know what's really fucked me over? Oh, what now?

You know how we always say subscribe to the podcast? Yeah. The new iPhone software have changed it to a follow button, which means we have to update our fucking sweepers. We have to update our fucking sweepers. We have to update our messaging. So no more subscribe to our podcast. We just say follow our podcast. Yuck.

The new Apple podcast, and I've never, I'm an Apple fan boy. I've got the watch and everything in the HomePod and the tags. But the new podcast layout is disgusting. I hate it. I like it. No, it's appealing to the eye, but I will be halfway through a true crime podcast and they're like, and the killer of Jamie's baby was.

And then I'll get out of the car, go to work, get back in at midnight. And it's like, welcome to the crime. Starts it again. I'm like, no, it does it every episode. And also it takes forever for an upload to appear on the app now. It used to be immediate. Now it takes forever. Do you want to hear something that might actually put Apple Podcasts

back in your good books, Mitchell? Yeah. Schneedy Committee slash Not My Cup of Tea vanished. And I'm trying to add it back again and they're like, error. And like, I just can't get it back. Like, my old podcast is just gone. My God, it's my favourite app. I love Apple Podcasts! Alright. Should we get our

guest on today? Yes, Angela Bishop. She came in the other day. We're going to play it out for you now. She did. If you don't know who Angela Bishop is, it's honestly, she's an icon of Australian broadcast media. She's been in the biz 32 years at Channel 10,

her whole career in one place, which is not something you can say about every media presenter. She's an entertainment editor and is the presenter of Studio 10. We ask her a lot. Mitch gets her to contribute to the Things Better Than Drugs and Dick. Oh, wait for her answer. It's pretty out there. Yeah. I embarrassed myself in front of her as a drunken fool weeks ago, so we ask her about

that. And overall, it's a solid chat. Yeah, we loved it. So here is us with Angela Bishop. Enjoy. Ladies and gentlemen, Angela Bishop is here. Here she is. Thanks for coming in, Anne. I'm so excited to be here. Thank you for having me.

We're excited to have you, Mitch and I and Jenna. We're all your little media fans, aren't we? Of course. That is so sweet. Thank you so much. It's one of those people that you just... I don't recall the first time I saw you on TV. You've just always been there, you know what I mean? Yeah.

Well, how old are you now? 25. So, yeah, I've been at now 25 yeah so yeah i've been at 10 seven more years than you've been on the planet oh no good at maths how many is that in total i'm just thinking of the superannuation that's ridiculous all that cash no it's 32 years i don't think they were even paying it when i started i don't think it was law back then right i think the first time i actually cemented your name in my brain as someone that i knew the name of, not just appeared on TV, was when you were kind of assigned to basically follow Oprah around the whole trip. Were you by her side the whole time, really?

Well, yeah, because what had actually happened, I actually knew she was coming before anyone else. They trusted, her team trusted me with the secret. And I pre-recorded an interview to run on the day with her. Wow back then back then she didn't do interviews she because she didn't have to she had a show and so it was like the first interview she'd done in about five years and they trusted me with the information that they had told no one this whole surprise that she was coming to australia and i had to keep that a secret um so i can be trusted with anything i am the vault interesting um but yeah so yeah i was by her side for the for the whole time she was here in So I can be trusted with anything. I am the vault. Interesting. But, yeah, so I was by her side for the whole time she was here in Australia,

right there when she first landed in Hamilton Island and the two koalas started copulating in front of her. Oh, I forgot about that. Welcome to Australia. Yeah, two koalas. The marsupials are not shy. How long was she here for? I can't remember. About two weeks, all in all.

Remember Hugh Jackman fell off the... It was on a zip line. Yeah, over the Opera House. Yeah, from the Opera House to the stage, which was in the forecourt. Yeah. And it just went too fast and he slammed into the lighting rig on the top of the stage.

She almost killed Hugh Jackman. And his beautiful face was harmed. But he's fine. And you were there, front row, 10 eyewitness news. I've got the shot. Yeah, he's got the scoop and the blood dripping from the sky. You know what's actually, I've never actually told you this, Angie. I've never told these two.

But my first ever red carpet, and you were a red carpet fiend, right? You would have been to, I think, thousands of red carpets, safe to say. Probably thousands, yeah. Yeah, my first ever red carpet, think i was probably 15 16 was anchor man 2 anchor man 2 we had steve we had will yep we had we had adman too yeah yes you did yeah we did we did paul rubb was there um more park it was it yeah fox studios yep and my dad was my dad works in wine so he supplied all the wine and i wasn't in media yet i was a kid and dad when i've got tickets to anchor man 2, the premiere.

And I got in a little suit and I gelled back my hair and I brushed my teeth twice that day. Wow. And flossed? And flossed. Oh, yeah. And I flossed. What, just in case Aunt Bishop smelt your breath? He's talking about the stars.

Yeah, the stars. The stars. Anyway, we walk into the theatre, my mum and I. And who do we sit next to? But Angela Bishop. Really? Did you? And I sat next to you and mum was going, tell her

you want to get into media! Tell her you want to be on television! And I was like, I don't know. And did you? And I did and you were beautiful. Really? I'm so pleased. What advice did I give you? Was that sensible? It was sensible but also you gave me your popcorn because there was you know how at these events they put little media packs on all the chairs? You gave me your popcorn. It was very

sweet. That's all I remember. So you remember that more than the sensible advice I gave you. I can't remember what you said. Which clearly was brilliant because look at you. That's right. Whatever I said, it worked. You can claim me. But yeah, that was my first Andrew Bishop experience.

Mitch likes to claim that he's in and out of LA all the time, trying to sound like a rock star. But how many times have you actually been to LA? So I got asked that for a magazine article maybe about three or four years ago. So I got the passports out and counted. The stamps. The stamps. And I'd gone up to, I think it was about 130.

So since then I've obviously been more. So we're probably talking maybe 150 times or so, which I can honestly tell you is more times than I've been to Bondi. Yeah. Or Melbourne. You know, literally it's like getting on the bus for me. Wow. And sometimes I go over and back on the same day. Oh.

So actually you arrive at 6 a.m. on QF11 and QF12. I'm back in the days when we could fly. QF11 lands at 6 and QF12 takes off at 10.30. Yeah. So you can actually get a full day's work in and then head back. You could even leave your headphones on the seat and they'll be there when you get back. And your blankie. Yes, yeah, your little pillow.

Are you looking forward to the days where Zoom interviews are less of a thing? Because I hate them. I've just been doing some today. I was just chatting to Rose Byrne a bit earlier, who's a fantastic great Australian actress and so forth, but it isn't the same. No.

Even being in the old hotel room at the Four Seasons in LA, there's just that. You're bonding with someone when they're in the same room. The only thing I will say is I have talked to a lot of rock stars at home, in their home, over this period, and there's something about a rock star in his own home. He's super comfortable. Like Alice Cooper I was chatting to, you know,

and I've spoken to him a lot over there. And suddenly he's like showing me around his house and very, very, very open and very, very. Well, just picking up the laptop or his phone. Yeah, literally, yeah. Wow. And taking it around because they're a bit more comfortable so you get some extra stuff from them.

Yeah. Okay. So there's that payoff. But no, back in person would be great around because they're a bit more comfortable. So you get some extra stuff from them. So there's that payoff. But no, back in person would be great. Looking forward to flying back to LA. Yes. Yeah, and I've been about six times. So that pales in comparison. I said it once, Ange. I said, oh, I'm in and out of LA.

And they've made it a thing. I overheard him interviewing someone. And he's like, oh, yeah, man, I'm in and out of LA. I'll see you next time. And I was like, you are trying to sound so cool. No, Ange, well, no. You have to make that connection with these stars, right? Absolutely.

And also, I think you're manifesting your future there. You're putting it out there to the world. Thanks. See, Ange knows. Fellow entertainment biz reporters. Yes, that's it. I've got to tell you, Mitch is also, he was feeling a bit self-conscious a couple of weeks ago because he ran into you at a comedy show, right?

I don't know. And you know that feeling, you know, especially when you're young and you first start drinking, where like the next day you get a bit of anxiety where you're like, I feel like I owe someone an apology. I don't know who or what for. Then you go through your texts. Yeah, he had that feeling after running into you. He thought he was being a bit of a pest because he was so drunk.

But what do you remember from that night? No, you were not a pest. Really? Oh, I haven't slept a wink since. Oh, my God. Go nine eyes now any time you're ready. Oh, I haven't slept a wink since. Oh, my God. Go nine eyes now anytime you're ready. Oh, God, my thyroid has been overactive ever since that day. Honest to God, it was that feeling of, because, you know,

we haven't been out in a year and I haven't been drinking in so long. So it was my first night out. It was for Joel Creasy. What a great show. Oh, my goodness. I've never seen him live. And it's like, he's so funny. He's so good with a crowd.

Anyway, so we went back to like a friends and family after his parents were there and you we ended up sitting next to each other at the end and i was there were free drinks and i just oh my god i love ang i'm gonna talk to her and i just went on and on and didn't stop and then hayden my partner the next day was like yeah you really went in with ang bishop i'm like i just love her so much. I'm sorry. Do not apologise. No grudges being held. There you go. You're all good. I actually remember hearing a story of yours a while ago

and this made me think, oh, Ange Bishop is also human, thank God, because it was a story about you basically rocking up, hung over to work and you had a bit of a run in also with Hugh Grant, is that right? That's right. I was in London and I'd had, I was in London for one night, flown all the way to London for one night, filmed all day. It was for Notting Hill, the movie.

Oh, big movie. And so I'd filmed all day on the streets of Notting Hill and there's lots of planes going by and people and doing things three or four times. Then I had one night in London, so I caught up with everyone I knew in London that night because I don't get there as often as LA. That's one of the last bugbeats. I caught up with everyone I knew in London that night because I don't get there as often as LA. You know, that's wonderful. I spoke big. And I really do it tough, if I can just give you that.

And we had rather a big night. I think, you know, I kicked the last sort of 15 people out of the room just when the minibar finished at about 3 or 4am, whatever it was. I had a full day of interviews the next day. From how early? Starting with Julia Roberts at 8. Oh, my God. But I was there. I was was. I had a full day of interviews the next day. From how early? Starting with Julia Roberts at 8. Oh, my God.

But I was there. I was ready. I did it. Professional. But the last interview was Hugh Grant at, I think by then it was 6pm, quarter past six. And my flight home was that night. Big day. And I'm waiting outside.

I'm the next one in. And just as I'm about to go in, I hear Hugh Grant say, oh, actually, I'm getting a bit tired. I might take a bit of a quick break. And I just went, oh, because I was on a time schedule to get to the airport. I have to collect all my tapes as we did back in those days. And I went, you're tired? And he turns around and goes.

And I said, right, well, I only flew in yesterday from Australia. I've done all these shooting to promote your movie and all these interviews today and I've got to fly home tonight and then put it all on air as soon as I get back. And I'm exhausted. And he goes, and I looked and I thought, I've either wrecked this and it's not going to happen. And he said, right, you win.

We're doing it now. Yes, come on in. Oh, my God. And he was fantastic and he was funny and he was sarcastic. So I've got this whinging Australian to interview now. I can't stop whinging about how busy she is. That's quite funny. Who's the movie star in this conversation?

And he was terrific. I did hold my breath for a moment because. He could have been a real diva about that and been like, well, bugger your interview. He could have just cancelled it. Oh, he could have. Is that how you just start every interview now? You're like, it worked once. I'll be your diva every chat. Have you

come across many divas in your time? I'm sure you would have. Not as many as you'd reckon. Okay. Not as many. People don't do that in front of the media. They really don't. They really don't because it's, you know, especially now where it will be on socials and out to the world. Yeah, they're dark.

It's up on TikTok. It's got a million views in a minute. No, they just don't. People are good. People are good. They're nice. They're fun. Speaking of TikTok, there have been a lot of videos

where people rank their celeb encounters out of ten, like people who might have been waiters at a restaurant. They're like, oh, this person was rude, one out of ten. Imagine Ange doing that if she just went like full honesty it'd be amazing shaking her head she's like no not happening she's a vault remember so how old were you when you started media in your 20s right um i started at channel 10 just after i turned 20 wow wow. Wow. Had you studied? Yes.

I have a political science degree from the University of New South Wales because I always wanted to be a journo. Yes. Great uni. I think so too, generally. Generally. You just got a journo. Yes.

Oh, well done. Yes. Alma mater. Oh, yeah. Alumni. Yes, alumni. So I just wanted to be a journo. So I figured that was quite a good degree to do.

And I was like what you'd call a normal journo, like general, you know, to politics and all the rest of it until 1994. I didn't know none of you people were born back then. I don't even want to say in a year. But that's when I became entertained. There's question marks around Jenna's age just quietly. We think she's actually 60. We're not quite sure.

She might be meeting you. Well, that's when I became an entertainment reporter. So I've been an entertainment reporter since then. And that wasn't much of a thing back then, was it? There wasn't like an entertainment section in the news. No, definitely not. Yeah, the glossies, right? I really had to pitch each and every story to get it in and so forth.

But one of my early ones, I got sent over to New York to interview Robert Duvall and Ron Howard, Richie Cunningham, you know, the director, and Glenn Close and Michael Cajun. That was my first big overseas trip to interview all of them. And I was told to come back with a really good promo line. Oh, my God. Or I'm toast. The show I was actually working on was Alan Jones Live. He had a current affairs show. Oh, my God.

On Channel 10. Wow. Okay, and I had to come back with a promo line. Now, Robert Duvall is very famous for a particular movie called Apocalypse Now, where he comes flying in on a helicopter and says, I love the smell of napalm

in the morning, right? It's a very famous old movie quote. So, I asked Robert Duvall to say I still can't believe I did this to this day. Would you mind saying I'm Robert Duvall and I love the smell of napalm in the morning but I love the sound of Alan Jones in the evening?

Oh, my God. And he said, sure. That's clever, actually. And he goes, okay, rolling. And he says, hi, I'm Robert Duvall and I love the smell of napalm in the morning and I love the smell of Alan Jones in the evening. Oh, that is genius.

Which was just a slip of the tongue. Yeah. And I said, we're going to need that one more time if we could. But we kept that one for the goof reel. That's funny. Did Alan love it? Alan loved it. We ran it. We ran it as the ad.

It was funny. How nervous were you for your first ever overseas interview? Yeah, you don't want to mess it up. No. Because, you know, you're on the plane to New York. Yeah. I was staying at this fabulous hotel it was you know and i was wandering through um central park on my own clearly i hadn't clearly s for you wasn't on the telephone yeah yeah or i would have

you know yeah i didn't walk through central park but um yeah you just didn't i didn't want to mess it up i was but uh yeah do you get nervous now or is didn't want to mess it up. I was, but yeah. Do you get nervous now or is that not really a thing? If it's someone I love, if it's someone I worship, I just don't want them to hate me. I don't want them to think I'm a dick. But yeah, that's the only time I really get nervous. Were you very chatty as a teenager or as a kid or were you kind of shy? Chatty. Okay. So you've always had a gift for conversation. I don't know if it's

a gift. I don't shut up easily. Whether people consider that a gift. I feel like that comes in handy when you're interviewing people. You have to keep the conversation flowing. You do. I mean, you're one of the most highly respected interviewers in the country and entertainment reporters. Yes, you are. No faces. You don't look shocked.

I'm looking shocked. No, you really are. I would say the, not one or two. The premiere. Jenna's my new best friend, my alumni from the University of New South Wales. I saw Richard Wilkins in a red carpet the other night. I went, go to bed, Dickie. Go to bed. Do not diss Dickie.

Dickie is a good man. We love Dickie, but that wig, it needs to refresh it. He's releasing an album. Is he? I saw that. Of his old Richard Wilde songs. Richard Wilde? Yeah.

Is that what an old name is it? That was what he called himself when he was a singer. Oh dear. I didn't even know he was a singer. Neither did I. It's made us think that the old Channel 10 band, Hard and Fast from Behind, could get a few of the numbers out of the back catalogue. I remember when I was working,

doing bits and pieces with Studio 10, I was chatting to the producers. We love you, by the way. We love you on the television. Oh, it's mutual, darling. Let me tell you. I was talking to one of the producers and they were all convinced that at the time you were the unicorn on The Masked Singer. And I said, can Angela Bishop sing?

And they were like, yeah, she used to be in a band. Is that true? I had no idea. Yeah, we had a Channel 10 band. Wow. Because when we went into receivership one time, they cancelled the Christmas party. And someone came around to all the apartments and said,

who can play an instrument? Who can be in a band? We need to find a band for the Christmas party. We used to have in excess play at Channel 10 Christmas parties back in the day. And so now they wanted the people in, you know, because we had no money. And so they threw us all in a rehearsal studio and said, right,

come up with two sets for the Christmas party. And we hardly knew each other. And it was many bourbons into the evening one night. They said, we need your name now. We're making the posters. Oh, my God. And we came up with, for whatever reason, I'll never know, Hard and Fast from Behind. And that was the name. And we came up with, for whatever reason, I'll never know, Hard and Fast from Behind.

And that was the name. And it was put on this giant, they painted a backdrop of a bull coming at you. Oh, my God. And it went in the paper. So it was yourself? Who else? It was people from all around the station. So there were two cameramen, a studio cameraman, a DA, sound tech,

the audio tech was the drummer. You know, it was just everybody who could do anything, we all went in together. And we've played on and off ever since. Really? For nearly 25 years. Is any of this on YouTube or no? You'd have to really dig deep.

I don't think so. I don't think so because most of those gigs, we did sell the most alcohol of any gig at the Bridge Hotel at Balmain ever and I believe that has yet to be beaten. Really? Well, our motto was the more you drink, the better we sound. That's this podcast motto too. It works a treat.

But nobody had mobile phones and stuff. Yeah, right. The olden days, people. I keep talking about the olden days. It's got to be a bit more hip and groovy. You know. You definitely got to dust those off out of the Channel 10 archive. You're still in the building.

You've got to find those old tapes. That'd be amazing. If Dickie's doing it, you can do it too. Yeah, yeah. I want to hear Ange Bishop sing. I'm not going to make you do it now. I'm not going to make you do it now. Dickie and I did a duet once.

Really? Get fucked. That is amazing. Where? At the Bridge Hotel. Oh, my God. It was for a charity thing called Don't Give Up Your Day Job. So we had musos judged the entertainment reporters for singing.

And he played Kenny Rogers and I played Dolly Parton. Oh, my God. And I'd picked up a white PVC nurse's uniform at Hustler Store in LA because I thought, where am I going to find a white nurse's uniform? I know. Hustler Store. And sure enough, there was a choice of six. And so I got one from there

and we did a duet. Wow. We didn't win though. Mark Holden gave us a touchdown though. Did he? Oh, back in the day. Oh yeah, of course. That was a badge of honour. That really was. Do you have a Logie? I do not. You know what? I think we start the campaign now.

I think that's disgusting. There's no category. Gold. There should be an entertainment reporter category. I agree there should be an entertainment reporter category, but you could get a gold. A gold? Yeah.

I'm not in the gold league. If Grant Denya's in the gold league. I'm not in the Tom Gleeson, Amanda Keller. Yes, you are. Sam Mack. Oh, please. Grant Denya. Don't you think she could get a Gold Logie?

I can't remember. I work with Amanda Keller and I would say you're definitely in that. But Amanda Keller needs to win the Gold Logie. True. I agree. The fact that she does not have one yet is a travesty. She'll get one. No one's worried about her.

No. If anything, you'll end up in the Hall of Fame at some point, surely. If Carrie Ann's in there. Yeah. Well, I love what you say. I hear what you're saying. I love that you're saying it. But I can't see it.

I can't see it happening. I'm more of the person that's just permanently reporting on the ladies. Right. I'll still be there on the red carpet. Who would report your lead? In another 15 years. Wasn't it only a couple of years ago that it was the first time you walked it rather than reporting on it?

Yeah, that was only two years ago. Get out. At the Logies. Every other time. Yeah, I've never walked it before until the first one up in Queensland. What did you say? Screw it. I'm walking.

No, I still reported and then ran out and did a bit of a walk and then went back and reported some more. That's brilliant. Do you have two dresses just to be like, this is the walking and this is the reporting? I should have. Next time. Next time. That's brilliant. Do you have two dresses just to be like, this is the walking and this is the reporting? I should have. Next time. Next time.

You might remember me when I went on Studio 10. Oh my God. I can't believe you're bringing this up. Angel, we apologise. It was for the Easter show. I helped herd some goats. I was an intern. I made a pretty good impression.

I think that. It's coming back to me. You don't have to. It was the early days. I had a butt choice era and when they brought in some goats, they went a bit rogue. Jenna was running around the set. I was told not to go on camera, but the goats came towards me, so the camera obviously

followed. You'd been training them for days to do that? Just so that the camera appearance happened? Yes, indeed. Any intern that gets on camera, that's a win. Yeah. That's a win. How's your mum?

Because she's not really in the public eye anymore. Oh, she is. She's still working full time. She's on Sky News at night. Get out. Oh, yeah. Oh, so she's my competitor. I'm night radio.

She's night TV. She's on the telly with Paul Murray. Get lost. Yeah, and she loves it. Really? Yeah, she's night TV. She's on the telly with Paul Murray. Yeah. And she loves it. Really? Yeah, she loves it. So she sort of crossed over into my territory, if you like, into the TV world.

I said, you know, I never went and sat in the big green chair and had a go. Yeah. But, no, she's loving it. And she does a whole lot of charity work still. But, yeah, she's on the telly. She loves it. What about your daughter, Amelia?

Is she going to follow in the footsteps, get a job in TV like mum and grandma? You know, I don't know. She likes making movies on her iPad. She's YouTube generation. She's making videos all the time. She's in quite a few of them. But I will say she did get a highly commended

at the Stedford reciting Shakespeare last week. Really? Great. She did a nice little bit of puck from A Midsummer Night's Yes, that's not an easy roll to nail. Not an easy roll to nail. I was very proud of her. Oh, how old is she?

Thirteen. Wow. Impressive. Good for her. What is your advice, I guess, for the young ones? Because we have a very young listener base, you know, and we're all in our mid-twenties and in the media and still hustling.

I mean, I'll be listening to this advice. Mate, we're all still at your hustle forever. Yeah, right. And the hustling never stops. You don't stay at the same workplace for 32 damn years without a bit still hustling. I mean, I'll be listening to this advice. We're all still at your hustle forever. Yeah, right. And the hustling never stops. You don't stay at the same workplace for 32 damn years without a bit of hustling. Exactly. What is, like, is there, like, a golden trick?

Is there one thing that you live by? I have always just gone by the motto of keep your head down and your bum up and just work hard no matter what's going on around you. your bum up and just work hard no matter what's going on around you. And so you just have to 100% focus on your job that you're doing and anything that you have, you know, if you've got your eye on something you want to do. I've never done a five-year plan thing because I think you miss opportunities that come sideways.

Yeah. Like when I got the phone call from the working dog gang um and they said oh we're doing a show uh we're just going to sit around a desk and chat it's called the panel um and nobody was sitting around a desk and chatting back then let me tell you that was not something that anyone did anywhere in the world yeah and they said we just want you to come on and just talk and i'm like oh i don't know i'm a reporter yeah i write my script and i wasn't our mate kate langbrook on that show too? Kate, that's where I first met Kate.

She was 10 obviously. Yeah, it was 10. It was, yeah, in 1997 or something. Oh my God. Yeah. And so it was Rob Sitch, Tom Gleisner, Kate Langbrook, Glenn Robbins. And then I did the entertainment and Steve Quartermain did the sport. And it was amazing.

And I thought if I'd had a five-year plan, I probably would have said no to that because I didn't know what it was. And it was the most amazing experience, this great opportunity that they gave me. And, you know, I loved every minute of it. Such a groundbreaking show. It was like the project before the project. Well, you know, everyone's around the desk doing the chat now,

including us. Yeah. And, yeah, so I just think you've got to be open to opportunities that come from wherever rather than thinking you can nail out a plan because you never know what's around the corner. You never know what's coming. I didn't see my Studio 10 reporting opportunities

coming out of anywhere. So that was not on the five-year plan. But when it popped up, I was like, I'll give it a crack. Why not? And you're a natch. Total natch. Thank you. You are a natch. Thank you, darling. And I'm a crack. Why not? And you're a natch. Total natch. Thank you. You are a natch.

Thank you, darling. And I'm a natch with goat. And you're a natch. Jenna, you with farm animals. The goat. With goats. That's it. Now, there is one very important thing I need to get from you, Ange, while you're here.

Yes. So we like to do a little PSA to our younger listeners who might be in a stage of life where they're a bit obsessed with partying and boys. We call it our list of things better than drugs and dick. Wow. We should have prepped you, really, and briefed you on this. It's an opportunity to appreciate the little things in life. So things that I've put on the list of things better than drugs and dick

are a good crunch of an apple, a nice stroll, a cool breeze, the smell of rain, and every guest that comes in, we get them to add something. So is there anything that springs to mind for you? It would be climbing into my waterbed at night. Oh, I've got the waterbed. I've got the waterbed. You'd be the only one left, right?

Well, probably. So my husband was a mechanic and he had a bad back as mechanics do and he found a waterbed was the answer. So after some convincing when we first got together, I said, all right, I'll give it a try. Well, hello. You love it? And you can heat it.

So I get in at night and it's already warm. And in summer you can cool it. Wow. Has it ever burst? That would be my concern. They don't burst. Think Austin Powers. Yeah.

Is it round? Is it circular? It's nothing like that. I'm picturing it. Leopard print bed sheets in the shape of a heart. No shag, no mirror in the water. Velvet cover. No, no.

Do you have to refill the water? I've never known how these things work. I have a man come in and he services the waterbed. Services the waterbed. Yes. Get that very clear. Fluffs your billows and... No, he does...

They do stuff to it. They, you know, tweak it. Yeah, right, okay. My auntie had a waterbed and I just used to love climbing in it and it's just wobbly. It's fun. Yeah. I always used to get in trouble.

My uncle had one. I was like, don't jump on that bed. You can jump on any bed in the house, but not the bloody waterbed. Don't jump on it. No, no, no. But I reckon that's what I'm saying to you out there, people. Bring it back. Bring back the waterbed.

There's a reason it was big when it was because it's exciting and it's fun and it gives you a bit of adventure of an evening. We'll add it to the list. Yeah. People have a misconception that it's like you're on a lilo. Yeah. On a surfboard waiting for the big wave to come in. You just put your wetsuit on and you climb into bed.

But you've got to send this audio to 40 Winks. You should get some cash. You can't get them at 40 Winks. Really? It comes from a nice little family at Blacktown. They still make them. They've been in the business for 30 years and they make them. They're just waterbed specialists, are them. They're just waterbed specialists.

They're just waterbed specialists. So I also feel like I'm supporting a nice family business. Small business. I do love small business, Mitch, don't you? I feel like I've been sold on this. I need a waterbed. Let's make them cool again. It'll change your life. Bring them back. Make them cool. I'm single-handedly leading the charge.

They'll get people walking in going, we want the Ange Bishop. There we go. Better than drugs and dick. That's right, a waterbed. Ange, it was so good to have you on. We're such fans. Thanks for having me. I've had so much fun.

We love you. And Ange for the gold Loki. 100%. We have the power. If anyone can get it for you, it's us. It's going to happen. Do you think? Oh, I don't know.

I think I'm more likely to win a chook raffle. We'll see how we go. That's nothing to sneeze at. I take that. I'm furious every time I don't win the chook raffle. Thank you, Ange. Thanks. Wow, how good was that?

Love it. Isn't she great? I love her. She's awesome. Now, guys, Ange is going to be hosting an exclusive eight-part Facebook watch series about Bold and the Beautiful. It's called Inside Bold, so make sure you check that out on the Channel 10,

So, yeah, go check it out, Inside Bold, the Facebook Watch series with Angela Bishop. Does she sleep?

So if you guys have discovered the secret, keep it to yourself because we don't really want everyone knowing about this. It's pretty... See ya! See ya! God, she was good, It's pretty. See ya. See ya. God, she was good, wasn't she?

See ya. That's her mum, Bronwyn. Dropped her off. Andy's taking her home. That's so sweet. See ya. You can't mock Angela Bishop's mother in the same episode where she was on. She was here and I did notice you were like,

how's your mum? And I'm like, don't go there. I noticed that. I noticed. Only because I'm genuinely interested. Her mum's a veteran of the industry. Anyway, what an episode, huh? Bloody hell, my lungs.

I had one puff of vape, Jenna, and I'm done. Jesus. Yeah, and one puff of a cigarette and you got a nosebleed. You really just don't cope with anything. No, I'm like made of wheatgrass. I am so brittle. It's really bad. I'm not joking.

I wonder why. You know, I have severe asthma. I was born two months premature. That probably causes the brain illness. And then I have really bad asthma. I was born with one lung. I had to grow the next, the other one. And, yeah, I just, my lungs are bad.

I have a smoker's cough and I'm 25. I don't smoke. We haven't done coughing fit chicken in a while. I had to ban it. Yeah, I know. Oh my God. I forgot to tell you on Kyle's boat party with our mate Ben Fordham, as you mentioned. Every time we say it about him.

And he said he wants to come on the podcast for real like he wants to come in studio apparently he doesn't live far from here um so i was like yeah bro we can get you on because um the only time you've been on is us prank calling you he saw me on the boat he's wearing he was wearing like the the sorry jenna can you put in your um arn email for the wi-fi because they've obviously yeah i don't have the Wi-Fi at work anymore. I've got to buzz him in. It's like you're a visitor. I fucking hate it.

Mitch has to come and get me and he takes forever. I was waiting for you today. Yeah, do you know what I did? I called you when I was still down the road. I was like a block away and I was like, come get me because I knew that you would take forever and then you actually beat me. I did.

Anyway, it was a great party. Yeah, it was. Also, the theme was very confusing. It was gold. You like over-ordered it. No, it was a great party. Yeah, it was. Also, the theme was very confusing. It was gold. You like over-ordered it. No, it was a touch of gold. Yes. But I forgot that it was just a touch. And I typed into ASOS, gold. This is what he did.

And I just ordered like two of everything, so I had the right size. Two! Sent it back and I was gold from head to toe. And then I double checked the invite and I was like fuck. Touch of gold. It's literally a touch of gold, not gold. Yeah, it was black tie or tuxedo with a touch of gold yes and then i um so i ended up toning it down a bit threw on a black shirt and a black jacket and i just had the gold pants and even then i was still way more gold than everyone else everyone just had like a ring and

that was their touch of gold i was like fuck me i look stupid he looked like an extra on i dream a genie yeah big herring pants on. No, you actually looked lovely, and I said that to you, until you bit into an arancini bowl and it came on your pants. Yeah, grease stains all over my good gold pants. We were at the front of the yacht. He went, look down, and I did, and it was everywhere. Was this the beginning or the end?

No, this was the middle. This was the peak of the party. And I've also walked away. I would love to know if there were any witnesses on the night that could explain this to me. I've got a fucking cut on my forehead. I'm like, what did I do? Look at it, Jenna.

I thought it was Isabella. No. If it was her, she's got more than one claw. So there'd be like multiple parallels. She was giving you the finger. Parallel to the scratch. I've just got this one scratch, like Harry Potter's scar in the middle of my forehead. Did I tell you the worst part about that whole fucking party?

What? I don't know how I managed this, but I left my shoes behind. Where? We were together the whole time. I saw you had to wear slippers. Yeah. So once you got on the boat, you had to put your shoes in like a bucket. Yeah.

And then they gave you slippers. Could you keep the slippers? Yeah. Well, you weren't meant to, but I did. They're embroidered with gold KS. Yeah. What are they going to do with them? Anyway, I did get them out of the bucket when I left the boat.

But then when I got in an Uber to go elsewhere after the after party, I just got out and left them there. And my fucking Uber driver still won't call me back. I might try him again. Yeah, give him a buzz. I'm pretty sure I have to pay him quite a lot for him to come drop it off. Fuck. Here we go.

No, he's ringing. He's ringing. Hello? Oh, hi. It's Mitchell. You gave me a lift last night. Yeah. Hi.

How are you? Good. I've been trying to get a hold of you all day. Yeah. I called you. Oh, did you? I called your number. Oh, four.

Yes, yes, yes. That's it. Are you at the Corumban Bird Sanctuary? I'm at Northern Beaches. Oh, okay. So, yeah, I must have been recording my podcast when you called. So, yeah, did you find my shoes in the back of your car? D-Y?

D-Y is very out of the way, actually. Well, I can meet you here. Well, I can't come today. Can you text me your address and then I'll just text you during the week when I've got time to come grab them? Yeah, message me and then we will decide. Okay, great. Thank you so much. Okay, good.

All right, chat soon. Bye. Cheers. Jesus Christ. We will decide. To be fair, he was very sweet. Cheers. Jesus Christ. We will decide. To be fair, he was very sweet. I could just buy new shoes. Yeah, what are they, babes?

They were like these brown leather ones. They're like dress shoes, so they're quite nice. But were they from the ASOS order? No, I've had them for ages, actually. Oh, well, go get them. It's worth it. What a punish. Now, Jenna, are you heading to Brisbane on the weekend?

No, I'm not. I think I am. Oh, really? Yeah, I thought Brisbane on the weekend? No, I'm not. I think I am. Oh, really? Yeah, I thought, you know what? I'm going to support Mitchell. You told me, you told me, oh, I might come to Brisbane to see your comedy show. And I was like, I'm not going to hold him to that. That's not going to happen.

Have you even booked tickets yet? God, no. Yeah, I still don't think it's going to happen. But it's a lovely thought. Well, I want to go. It's your first official stand up in a club that isn't on TikTok Live, and it'd be a nice story for 30 years when you go, oh, he came. But also I'm doing drag, so a drag performance.

This is so exciting. So that element will be interesting. I don't even know what my drag name's going to be yet. They're asking me today. I was like, fuck, I don't know. You don't have a drag name. No, I've not even thought about it. Michelle, Michelle, Michelle.

No, I don't want to do Michelle. That's too obvious. But also, by the way, if you can't come to the Brisbane one, I've got Sydney shows coming up in a few months. Okay. Yay. But, you know, still feel free to come to Brisbane. But I want to go to Brisbane.

Why are you whimpering? You're an adult. You can make it happen. You can come if you want, Jenna. I want to come. Well, we can talk off the cloud. No one's depriving you of it. You're like, oh, I want to come. Well, we can talk off the cloud. No one's depriving you of it. You're like,

oh, I want to come. Just fucking go. Yeah, but then it's work. Yeah, we have careers. All right, let's, we need to work out your drag name. Here's some Drag Race music. This is from Repulse Drag Race.

I actually put a thing on Instagram earlier asking for suggestions. I haven't looked at them yet. Oh, let's get them out. Yeah. Get them out. I'm going to get up

a drag queen generator. Drag queen name generator. Oh my God. Because they exist. Let's get them out. Yeah. Get them out. I'm going to get up a drag queen generator. Drag queen name generator. Oh my God. Because they exist. So let's do this. Mitch, please. That was the same name that you wanted for this podcast. Hard boiled Meg.

No, thanks. What? That's funny. Tiger tits. No. Honey coons. That's cute. Honey coons.

I like that. Psychiatric recess. Very funny, Callum. Miss Antisocial. No. Cunty Fabulous. That's inappropriate. Miss Antisocial is funny.

I don't get it. Antisocial. I like Cunty. Oh. Right. You really have to think about it. But also, if you're Miss Auntie, then you can have the persona of being an auntie. Bitchin' Mitchin', nah.

No, it's not funny. Oh, this is actually an old reference from, sorry, not my cup of tea. Oh, yeah! I don't remember the context of this, but I said that my drag name would be Jezebel Bangmebox. Oh, I like that. I like that. Don't hate it. Jezebel Bangmebox is good.

And I like the history behind it. Let's do this quiz online. It's from rumpmonkey.com. I also thought Scabriola. Because I'm scabby. Scabriola. I like that. That was my idea, but I'm not sold on it.

Scabriola's good. That's in the lead. Then what could my last name be? What's the Gabriela? Scabriola. Oh, what's Gabriela from Husker Musical? Gabriela. Is it Montez?

No. Yes, Gabriela Montez is funny. The people that come up when you Google Gabriela, Gabriela chill me, power, water. Gabriela chill me. Gabriela kill me. No, I don't like that. That's a bit dark.

What about Donna Kebab? What? I like that. Donna Kebab. Like Donna Kebab. That's like a. Oh, about Donna Kebab? What? I like that. Donna Kebab. Like Donna Kebab. That's like a... Oh, right. I don't get it.

What about Anita Hug and Kiss? No. So original. What about Phil Matitz? Phil Matitz. Oh, I feel like that's probably been done. Probably. That's a good one.

Yeah. What about Margaret River? Ebony Ray. Guys, that's not a drag name Probably. That's a good one. Yeah. How about Margaret River? Ebony Ray. Guys, that's not a drag name. That's just a fucking character from a show. Okay, let's do the quiz. Yeah, none of these suggestions are any good. Rubber Monkey wants to know when your generation is.

Are you X or are you Z? You're 96, aren't you? Yeah. I don't know what generation I am. All right, what do you currently do in life? What are the options? I work in an office. I? I work in an office. I do not work in an office.

Full-time student and rocking it. I'm a traveller or good question. I'm still trying to figure that out. I think I do not work in an office.

It's more appropriate. And not is capitalised. Alright, correct. What is your deepest desire? Fucking hell. Understanding other people. No! Finding true love.

Personal growth. A compassionate world. inner and outer peace. Probably the last one, I guess. Inner and outer peace? Yeah, I think so. That's nice. All right, next. What would you say is your strongest quality?

I'm a bit of a bright spark. Intelligence. I'm always helping out. Kindness. My life is a crazy explosion of shapes and colours. Creativity. I'm a survivor. Strength.

What do you think? I know what I want. Confidence. I think I know what and colours. Creativity. I'm a survivor. Strength. What do you think? I know what I want. Confidence. I think I know what I want. Confidence. Sure. Alright. What role do you play in your friendships?

Menace. No. I like to make my friends laugh. They always come to me for advice. I tend to be the peacemaker between friends. I offer support where I can, or I'm usually the one to help them fix things. What do you think? Again.

I need you to answer that. Well, you do make us laugh. You're not the peacemaker. No, but you're not the one that you don't have the time or patience to help others. Maybe what about fix things? What do you mean I don't have the time or patience to help others? If Jenna and I were fighting, you'd just tell us to shut up. I fucking do everything on this podcast for you.

Yeah, but not peacemaking. I think maybe fix things. I offer support where I can. Yeah, I could like that. That's not like distinctly me. That's very broad. What were they again? They always come to me for advice.

Well, you just fucking pick one. I like the laugh. But I don't appreciate you saying that I don't help others. That was very rude. No, that's not it. That's not what I meant. It's a piece of my point. How often do you work out?

Is there a, oh no, now you've got a personal trainer. Fitness is life. The people at the gym know me by name. Getting out of bed is enough for me. Did that. You people at the gym know me by name. Getting out of bed is enough for me. Did that. You sure? Yep.

Or there's workouts. Seriously? Nah. Okay. Rum and monkey are sassy. Why did you take this test? It looked fun. I was bored.

My friends encouraged me to do so. All of the above. Probably the last one. Not all the above. My friends encouraged me to do it. Alright, next.

I think this might be the final one. Oof, my drag name. Oh, fuck. What do you dream to do it. All right, next. I think this might be the final one. Ooh, my drag name. Oh, fuck. What do you dream about when you sleep? Don't know. People in relationships. I dream of animals.

I dream of flying, fighting, or running away from war. I dream of weird shit, so I don't know. Running away from war. Do you dream about drowning? No. Maybe do the running away from war thing. I've had some dreams like that, but not all the time. Yeah, okay.

If you were an animal, would you be a dog, a tiger, a gazelle, an owl, or a dolphin? I have been accused of being a dog before, so perhaps that one. Dog or wolf. Jesus Christ. Do you have a bucket list? Nope. Yes. Yes.

No. Yes. What? No. Oh, here we go. Oh, the button isn't complete. The button is queen out. Let's queen out.

All right, queen out. What's my drag name? Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Your drag name is, it says, I bet you're shaking with anticipation, aren't you? Yes. Mitchell's drag name, according to rumandmonkey.com.pg.

Rachel Intervention. Rachel Intervention. Rachel Intervention. I don't know. Radical Intervention. Right.

I don't know. Why the fuck would I call myself Rachel Intervention? That's stupid. Rachel Intervention? No, I don't think it has a meaning. I wonder if anyone else has called themselves that. That's stupid. Rachel in-tervention? No, I don't think it has a meaning. That's dumb. I wonder if anyone else has called themselves that. Wait.

That's horseshit. No, they're going to pause. Rummonkey.com. Well, that was a giant waste of time. Wasn't it ever? There is this basic one, all right? What month were you born? Oh, another one.

There is a drag queen named Rachel Intervention. Then we're missing the pun. What's the pun? It just says... What about American accent? Rachel Intervention? Well we're missing the pun. What's the pun? What about American accent? Rachel Intervention. Well, I'm not using it, so it's fine. We don't have to decode it. She's German.

Yeah, I bet she is. What month were you born? July. You should know that. It's soon. All right, so that is Miss. Remember Miss. Write Miss down.

I think Ophelia puss is better because there's a pun. You have to have a pun. Every time I say it, you laugh. Ophelia puss. How am I supposed to say that? Ophelia puss.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the stage. Ophelia mutt. What if my grandmother or something asks me, what's your fucking drag character? And I'm like, Ophelia puss. That's not something I can say with pride. No, just be like Ophelia. Yeah, Ophelia. Puss.

Ophelia P. Ophelia Pussinger. Because that is it. But why would you make a Pussinger? Because that's just the Christian name. No, it would be Ophelia Puss or nothing. Oh, all right. You heard me, ma'am.

Pine me dinner first. I like Ophelia Puss. I like Ophelia Puss. I love Ophelia Puss. Why don't we put it in Injury and Idiots and they can vote? It's so dumb. Let's do Ophelia Puss or Scabriola. Kill me. No.

Ophelia Puss, please. Hey. Jenna. We never ask. Please. Ophelia Puss, please. I don't know. I'll think about it. But O feel your pulse is a very it's it's a front runner at the moment like a failure all right well the show is next week will be available live or anything on recordings of it maybe i don't know i was thinking about that

because if i'm trying to sell tickets to my sydney show would it do me would it be of a benefit to me to post video of me doing stand up or is that giving away material that I could use like you have to pay to see it dogs, I'm not just posting it on Instagram. Is Sydney shows the same the drag concept? No. So what's the Sydney show? Just stand up. Where at? Don't know yet. Oh, just at a venue.

But it's the Sydney fringe. Yeah, right. Yeah. Ophelia Poole. I love that. You know what Jack Vigin, who is on the show next week, by the way, his drag name is Jacqueline Fajine. That's great. Yeah. That is nice.

Ophelia Puss. I love Ophelia Puss. Also, you're not going to pursue drag, are you? You might. No. I mean, I don't see me making many reprises of Ophelia Puss. Never say never. Never say never.

Ophelia Puss. I think it's a great name. You're close with Jack. Don't you go way back? Yes. So he's got new music out and he's got shows coming up and stuff. So he's going to be on the show next week. Remember that kid from Australia?

He's got talent. Find that video. He looked like fucking SpongeBob SquarePants. I saw him at the RSL. Don't be rude. He's coming in next week. I saw him at the RSL when we were both little. I don't think he knows who I am.

I've had him on my show, my radio show, so many little. I don't think he knows who I am. I've had him on my show, my radio show, so many times. I don't think he knows that I'm with you. Yeah, there are a dime a dozen of those radio announcers. You've spoken to one, you've spoken to them all. Generic, energetic, fat, gay radio announcer. What was the song he won with? Whitney Houston. Yeah. Do you know what's weird? He was also, he was

on Kyle Sanderland's Speak of the Devil. He was on his team with Australia's Got Talent, I'm pretty sure. Here we go. Welcome back to our grand final. Skip to the middle of the song. And I am telling you. Oh. You're not going.

Yeah, so that kid. I feel like a push of lip syncing. Yes. I've already chosen when I'm lip syncing. Right. Wow. Anyway, that was how he became famous, Jack. He was on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here this year.

And yeah, he was in the closet for a long time. Good on him. I met him out gay clubbing when he was closeted. So I was like, I guess you're gay then. But he didn't reveal it publicly until years after that. So yeah, he's kind of had a bit of a resurgence after being on I'm a Celeb, Get Me Out of Here. The poofs love him. He's the king of the gay.

He's always a poofdoof. He's at a gay club in Sydney. Yeah, I see him there literally every time I'm there. But I've known him for years. And one time I had a house party and I invited him and his boyfriend and they showed up in like formal wear and I was like, what the fuck? Why are you so dressed up? Like this is cash.

And they had just come from the races so they were blind and really dressed nicely. And I said, oh, well, that doesn't look comfortable. Do you want to slip into something of mine? I'll lend you like some trackies and a jumper or whatever so you can be more comfy. Very sweet. Same size. And as I went to the cupboard and opened it up,

I thought, fuck, I hope he doesn't choose my favourite jumper, which I'd only had for a matter of days. Oh, no. I went to an op shop and I got this really cute knitted jumper and I loved it. And I was like, don't fucking pick that. Don't fucking pick that. And he goes, what's this? This is gorgeous. Can I wear. And I was like, don't fucking pick that. Don't fucking pick that. And he goes, what's this?

This is gorgeous. Can I wear this? I was like, sure, babes. And then sure enough, he wore them home. And I've never seen them since. Oh my God, do you think he still has them? Don't know. I would think not.

He's probably, you know, cleaned out his closet a few times. You should bring that up with him. You really should do an intervention on the pod. No, it's been years. I've let it go. Clearly I haven't because I've brought it up again. I think I've told this story before. But no's been years. I've let it go. Clearly I haven't because I've brought it up again. I think I've told this story before.

But no, I'm not going to bring it up. You have to just tell him. He's got a great sense of humour. No, that feels a bit petty being like, oh, you dog, you stole my clothes. No, just go, remember when this happened, Jack,

have a laugh about it, we'll move on. Have fun about it. No, it's fine. I'll let it slide. Yeah. Let it breathe. Water under the bridge.

I won't bring it up. All right. Shut up, Jenna. Why does it affect. All right. Shut up, Jenna. Why does it affect you? You've got a morning today, Jenna. I remember when this happened and it was a traumatic time for me. Oh, were you there? No, I wasn't there, but I was...

She never comes to these fucking things. No. I wasn't invited to this. You would have been. We were colleagues at the time. I wasn't. Absolute fiction. No, I think it was when we first...

I wasn't. How the fuck do you remember? Because I think it was when we first met and it was... No, it wasn't do you remember? Because I think it was when we first met, and it was... No, it wasn't. It was when I lived in Concord. No, I remember that house. Which was after we'd known each other for a year. So you shut your flaps, Jenna. No, actually, I think I did attend this event. There you go! Shut your flaps.

No, I doubt you attended, but you would have been invited. I was invited because I remember it. I remember you telling me the next day that Jack Fidgett stole your jacket. I thought that was before I knew you. No, it wasn't. I remember it. I wasn't invited. You just said you were. No, I just thought about it. That was a Halloween party when I went there.

Flip-flop it. I think it was that. I don't have a reputation for not inviting Jenna to things. She has a reputation for not showing up. So how about you stop hurling abuse my way. If it was the Halloween one, then I was there, yes. All right, we're getting out of here. Thank you to Angela Bishop for coming on.

We love you. We appreciate you. You're a superstar. And Jack Vigin next then I was there, yes. All right, we're getting out of here. Thank you to Angela Bishop for coming on. We love you. We appreciate you. You're a superstar. And Jack Viggen next week. How exciting, 71. Yes, we'll see him then. All right, thanks, guys. We'll see you soon.

Thanks for listening. Be back in a week. As you know, we hope this podcast makes you feel at least 2% better today. Yep, that's the goal. Even without the song. I'm still using the catchphrase. Should we change it to like 3% so it's more us? 3% better today.

3%? No. That is my favorite number. That does sound like a drug campaign. Should we change it to like 3% so it's more us? 3% better today. 3% no. That is my favourite number. That does sound like a drug campaign. Like Panadine Rapid will make you feel 3% better today. Yeah, it's got no ring to it. Let's go with 2% better today. All right.
