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

What about me? Don't forget Chin-O. Who? Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Yes, on his birthday on our 76th episode. Hello, Mitchell. Hi, guys. Shout out to anyone else celebrating their birthday in lockdown like myself.

Yes, everyone's here. Jenna's here. Hello. I'm here. Happy birthday. Contraceptive diaphragm. Sam's here. Hello, Sam. Oh, we can't hear you, Sam. Hello. I'm here. Happy birthday. Contraceptive diaphragm. Sam's here. Hello, Sam.

Oh, we can't hear you, Sam. Hello, darling. There we go. Is that you on the honky tonk? Yeah, no, no, no. I've been taking lessons just for you. Oh, that's so sweet. No, Sam, play now. Play the one you've been practicing.

Oh, okay. You got some lessons from caring funerals. He's very good at this. Oh, happy birthday, Mitchell. Thank you. Thanks very much. Listen, we adore you. We love you.

And I've bought some champagne. Oh, no, no, it didn't shatter. No, it didn't. But I have touched every rim. Oh, bubbles for my birthday. Perfect. You know what? It's been a while since we've actually had a bit of booze on the show.

Do you remember there was a period around Mardi Gras when we realised we've been drunk most weeks in a row? Yeah. It's been a while. We got sloshed. Yeah, we did. I remember I listened back to one of those shows. I think I called you and went, I think we have to remove it.

We were that blind. Anyway, look, Mitchell has never celebrated a birthday on this podcast. I know. It's a big virginity to lose. My first birthday on the show. Can you believe? We've even got party hats. Party hats. Oh, fuck yeah. Here we go.

I actually did my hair today in preparation thinking, oh, maybe I'll have to put a party hat up there. You look beautiful. Thank you, Jenna. Jenna. Yes. I left my gift in the kitchen, but you know where it is because I showed you. Oh, goodness.

You've got a lot of head on that shampers of yours. Go run out and get it and then come back and the champagne will be ready to drink. Okay. I've got one. Who wants this one? I've got two cups over here. I mean, I'll have two double parked from your birthday. Hello, 25.

How are you feeling on your birthday? I mean, it's a weird one. It's not how I wanted to celebrate my 25th in lockdown, but what can you do? Of course. I mean, if that's the one way in which COVID has screwed up my life, then I'm doing okay. I agree.

Sam, I have bubbles for you if you want to come in and grab it. Oh, I've never moved faster in my life. Jumped off the honky-tonk stool. Now, Mitch, Jenna's gone to get my gift. I've got a ego sammy and can you give that to mitchell as well i can one more time playing the music oh chalky mud cake beautiful the most australian birthday essential because i'll have woolies or coals uh woolies okay because i'll have you know mitchell and i will quote you you said it's not

a fucking birthday unless there's a chocolate mud cake involved. You've said those words. Yeah, I would have actually. Not chocolate mud cake necessarily, but I remember there's been a couple of birthdays where I've gone home and laid in bed and thought, this doesn't feel complete. What went wrong? I haven't had a birthday cake on my birthday. So I'm a big believer that every birthday needs some sort of cake.

Here's the thing. I also, just quickly, I have a little badge for you to wear. His co-host was about to give a gift. Runs on in with a Kmart badge. Put the pin on. Please put it on. Now as your best friend, I thought

what could I get Mitchell that he would adore the most? It's lockdown. I couldn't go shopping for you. What I could do was contact my friends at Sugar Cookie Lane. What are the three things Mitchell loves most? You didn't. A. Cookies. B. His cat Isabella.

And C. Himself. So that's why, Mitchell, I got you cookies with not only Isabella's face on them, but yours. Oh my god. Are you serious? I've been eyeing off Sugar Cookie Lane on Instagram for ages, thinking I could devour 100 of those. Let me tell you, if you need cookies and you're in Sydney,

I'm bloody hell, she'll ship Sugar Cookie Lane. She's incredible. Delicious. How do I open this piece of shit? Just yank them. Oh, here we go. Oh, it's my little kitty on the cookie. She's so cute.

Hold it up. Show Jenna and Sam they haven't seen. Look, Isabella on a cookie. How wonderful. Oh, Sam must have Photoshopped me. I look gorgeous in this photo. Yeah, Sam sent those. Thank you for those, Sam. You did a lot of work. That's delightful.

You look great in icing. I'm very excited. Now that's my gift to you as well as at all. Jenna. Here's a rose. That was a freebie from The Bachelor, wasn't it? No. Where did you get that fucking wilted thing? I bought it from the shop.

Don't lie. Jenna, Jenna, can I just say that that completely discredits my great gift? We had such momentum from Sugar Cookie Land. Yeah, I was going to say, like, there's a flow happening, Jenna. His gift's first, then yours. He's a dead wilted rose. Look. It's not dead.

You're not telling me that you actually bought this rose, did you? Yes, I did. Where do you buy one single shit rose? Just put your badge on. Put the badge on. Put the badge on. You have to show them. You have to wear the badge.

Come on. Where did the rose really come from? I need closure. Jenna. Jonesy Dementor. There we go. The re-gift. Anyway, Mitchell, my second gift to you is normally you're controlling a lot of moving

parts of this show. You're editing. You're doing the videos. You're prepping. You're doing this. You're doing that doing that so today everything is under control you don't have to do it me i felt weird leaving the house because i was like you know that feeling when you're like i feel like i'm forgetting something i forgot my keys yeah i was like i haven't prepared a thing for the show mitchell I have organised every inch, every appearance, every guest, every secret. The show is jam-packed to the brim.

We will be hearing from our listeners later on in the show. Oh, how exciting. We'll be doing idjams as usual. And actually... Oh. What's that? Oh, my God. Hold on.

Oh, my God. Jenna, that's the birthday guest alarm. Oh, my God. What? Oh, my God. I had to install that with the text. Oh, I thought that was real. No, that's the birthday guest alarm. Oh, my God. What? They're here? Oh, my God. I had to install that with the text. Oh, I thought that was real. No, that's the birthday guest alarm.

I was like, fuck, the place is on fire. Yeah, Sam, I might need your assistance out there to let our guest in. Oh, yes. But I set that up because we have a lot happening on the show, and that's to let us know that birthday guest one is here. Sam, it's started. They've just got to be let in. See participants?

Hmm. Mitchell, look up to the Zoom screens, please. Yeah. Because the first guest is entering shortly. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Australian producer, screen and stage royalty, currently on Home and Away, best known for her role

as Tess on McLeod's Daughters. Ladies and gentlemen, Bridie Carter is here! You are kidding. Hello. Hello, Bridie. Welcome to the show, Mitchell. Oh, it's Tess from McLeod's Daughters. You're kidding.

Hello. Hello. You don't realise how much I cherished you and your character all through my childhood. Oh my God. Jenna, it's 10! Well, that just makes me feel old, but that's okay. Don't insult the guest.

I'm only turning 25. I wasn't a child that long ago. Oh yeah, 100%. Happy birthday. Thank you so much, Bridie. Wow, this is amazing. Thanks for dropping in. Really, it's just what one does.

I do like to instastalk you occasionally as well. You look like you live in a beautiful spot. Where are you again? I'm in the Byron Shire, so I'm on my farm here. Oh, that is glorious. I am. I feel fortunate. I feel pretty lucky, especially at the moment.

Yeah, and you're not locked down or anything, are you? Well, we're a bit of anything. We've got restrictions, but we're not locked down, but we are waiting. So who knows? It's a moving beast at the moment. It definitely is. How are you two going?

Listen, hold on. Mitchell, he's used to doing the heavy lifting, Bridie. He's like ready to ask interview questions. I was just about to say. I know, but I just wanted to ask you how you were. How are you, Mitchell, on your birthday? Very well. I'm doing good.

I was just going to say, I don't feel that you've aged a day since you left McLeod's Daughters. You look exactly the same. Thank you so much. I don't, but I love you. That's so kind. You guys do the occasional reunion, don't you? Like you've got the cast and a bunch of fans that come along.

We do. We do all of that. Which when someone spoke to me about it, I don't know, about five years ago, I was like, I'm not very comfortable with the fan thing anyway or I don't get it. And I was like, why would they want to come? Why do they want to meet us? I don't get that. And then I went and I was like, oh, my goodness.

But I loved it because you get to meet people, well, we did face-to-face in the same theatre or room or paddock, and they tell you intimately how much the show meant to them. So I just loved it. Well, all the episodes are up now on Stan. If anyone wants to take a trip down memory lane, watch McLeod's Daughters. Bridie, listen, Mitch adores you.

We adore you. There literally is not a show that goes by where McLeod's Daughters is not brought up. We even played that. Yeah, we do actually. Jenna and I are big McLeod's Daughters is not brought up. We even played that. We do, yeah, we do actually. Really? Jenna and I are big McLeod's Daughters fans. What is it? Why is it so, why?

I think it just has, because I'm from a rural area as well, and I just think it has a lot of heart to it, that show. There's just something sentimental about it. And we did a segment where we were rating the best TV theme songs. Jenna put McLeod's Daughters forward. And everything about it is so nostalgic and lovely to me.

The best. Yeah, no, it is true. I mean, we did, you know, the truth is, I mean, people might say this, but we truthfully all put our hearts and souls into that show. And I know the show profoundly affected me professionally, yes, but personally, obviously, now here I am. I'm a girl who grew up in inner city melbourne and i'm on my farm breeding cattle like hello like i do have days where i go this is

so weird like here i am doing this stuff that i did and i would never have predicted it ever you've been converted into a real country girl can i I ask, though, why did you leave? Because the show was kind of shit after you left. Oh, why did I leave? Because, I'll tell you why, I was filming until I was nearly eight months pregnant with my first son, Otis, and then I was back on that set. I was flying to the low seas when he was four weeks old. Oh, my God, like first baby, crazy. Should have had a maternity leave.

And then I was back filming sort of when he was five weeks old and we did that for a year as a family but then it was just like I shouldn't have gone back so soon yeah of it and I think it was just um it was just full on and I also you know what I wanted to leave the show when I still felt so proud and connected to it and still loved it I didn't ever and I was know, I was a little bit burnt out having had a baby and working so hard. But there is talk that something may happen. Oh, I've learned not to get too excited. Every time there's rumours of a reunion, I get all excited.

But I think now you're the closest that you've actually been, right? Like they were actually chatting with Channel 9 about it. No, they are. Everyone's chatting. So the truth is the feature film script has been written and Posey's very, you know, she posts about this, the creator of the show, Posey Graham Evans, and a budget has been done.

Wow. I don't know if that scared the bejesus out of her or not. So we're getting closer, you know, to it actually happening. But to step back into Tess McLeod's shoes all these years later, I've never done that with a character who I'm so intimate with, of course. It would be quite phenomenal, I reckon. I just think it would be so interesting. Yeah, well, fortunately you look exactly the same,

so it should be a natural fit. It's true. Yeah, we can start back at her 21st birthday. That would be a great premiere episode. Oh, I'd like that. Hey, Bridie, this was amazing. You are incredible. I think this is a pretty good birthday surprise.

Thank you so much, Bridie. My pleasure. Happy, happy birthday. Thank you very much. We love you. We'll talk soon, okay? All right. Thank you.

Have a great night. It looks like you are. Oh, we will. Don't you worry. We'll have a drink for you. See you, Bridie. Bye, Bridie. Bye. See you. What an icon. There for you. See you, Bridie. Bye, Bridie. Bye. See you. What an icon. There we go. Guest one

done and dusted. Bridie Carter. Were you expecting that? No. There was not one part of my withered brain that thought that Tess McLeod was going to pop up on the fucking computer screen in front of me. Listen, I told you. I got a black book of celeb guests. I just never use it for this show.

I know. Listen, we need to move on because we do have a big show set. If it is your first time listening, this is Is It Just Me, episode 76. In fact, we start the same way every week with Bridie Carter every week. So if this is your first time listening, that happens weekly. No, we start with two Is It Just Me, something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine.

I don't know Mitch's. And I think for the birthday, you just kick back, relax. I will start first with my age. Do you mind? Yeah, well, we were also joking that you were going to do my is it just me for me in the whole spirit of I'm doing nothing on the show. Is that actually happening? Oh, don't you worry. Like I said, Mitchell, everything is organised.

You don't have to worry about it. We've never done that before where you decide or I decide yours for you. Okay, that's a first. Relinquishing control, Jenna. This is big for Mitchell. Oh, no. I called his therapist and said, what's the big focus point for me? She said, relinquishing control.

I went, great, that's what I'll focus on. It's not about control. It's literally, why is it just me? I might not agree with what you've painted. Oh, trust me. Oh, trust me. This is you to a T. Okay.

Spell it out. Mitchell Coombs, it's you to a T. All right, let's start the show. Is it just me or... Is birthday sex not all it's cracked up to be? Wouldn't know. Well, I mean... People crack it up to be something, do they?

Yeah, birthday sex. There's always so much pressure on birthday sex. I hate it because I hate pressure of any sort, as you know. I just witnessed you trying to get Bryony Carter up on Zoom, I'm aware. I had a mild heart attack. What sort of pressure have you faced around birthday sex? I didn't really know that that was a real thing. I thought it was like movies.

Haven't you heard that song, birthday sex, birthday sex? Yeah, I thought it was just like a pop culture thing. It doesn't actually happen in real life. Well, I guess I want to find out if people don't like it. On my birthday, it's okay because I can sort of, you know, just do nothing and it's fine. But it's when it's your partner's birthday, there is an expectation for this to be mind-blowing.

Birthday sex, it's a gift. This is your one day. Let me do everything I know. Lie down, babe. I'm about to ravish you. Yeah, and I very rarely ravish. It's just not for me. If it's, you know, I love sex when it's spontaneous.

I agree. If there's any sort of expectation or pressure around it, I think it sucks, especially when everyone always asks newlyweds, oh, did you fuck on the night of the wedding? Or, oh, did you have pizza sex on the honeymoon? And even I heard an interview recently, you know how there's a new bachelor? Yeah, Jimmy Nicholson. They were like, oh, what was it like the first or did you have pizza sex on the honeymoon? And even I heard an interview recently, you know how there's a new bachelor? Yeah. They were like, oh, what was it like the first night that you and your chosen woman slept

together after leaving the show? And I was like, I would hate that pressure of like, oh, everyone's going to ask about how this went. What if it was a dud route? Same. It's like that plot of American Pie. They were all terrified to have sex for the first time and none of them perform. It's like you never do on your first time.

So that's why, Mitchell, we've organised... Sam, come in and bring the... What? Come on. Is now when I take off my pants or is that later? Yeah, bring the top in now. Yeah, we've organised you four tops to pick from. What?

No! I was like, absolutely not COVID safe. I'd be very gentle and wear a mask. Oh, it's going to be you. We didn't plan that. Well, thank God he is contraceptive diaphragm. Sam, very well protected. So for those who are celebrating their birthday tonight

or any time in the future, as I'm sure you all will, don't feel the pressure to perform. Just be you, relax and enjoy yourself. That's my message. Or if you are going to do it, make it spontaneous for the other person so it still, to them, doesn't feel like there's pressure. Could be. Oh, no.

Oh, shit, Sam. Oh, no. It's the birthday guest alarm. Oh, my God. Number two. It's MC, Sam. It's MC. Start it up.

Who's it going to be? Now, this one has been organised well in advance, Mitchell. This one involves your Is It Just Me? Me. So sit back, relax as we move into your idjim. Let's roll the music and let's just let it all unfold naturally. Is it just me or... Is there more than one Mitchell Coombs on this podcast?

Oh, fuck, you didn't, did you? Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the show, celebrity psychic to the stars, Mitchell Coombs! Oh, God, hello. Hello, Mitchell Coombs. Happy birthday to you. Oh, thank you, Mitchell Coombs. Do you realise how many of your inquiries get lost in my DMs?

People asking for psychic readings. And do you realise how much I get mistaken for you. And do you know, because it is your birthday, I really believe that our birthday, it holds a meaning in our lives. And I feel that our birthday is no accident. And so for you, I've looked at your numbers. We're getting a reading. We're getting a reading. Fantastic. Well, you are. Look, I've run the numbers on your birthday and what it means is this year you are in what we call a number three cycle in numerology and what that basically means is the past 12 months for you mitchell it's always been about doing everything for everybody else

helping everybody else putting everyone else's needs first and this year it's about you saying well it's my turn and that's exactly what you're now moving into so i really want to say it's a year of personal happiness for you and it's a year where're now moving into. So I really want to say it's a year of personal happiness for you and it's a year where you have to ask yourself constantly, what do I want? What do I want? You know, because it really is all about you.com basically. Wow.

Well, there you go. And how come when I'm looking at you, well, how come when I'm looking at you on the screen, isn't this funny? Like just as I've come on here, I'm actually seeing a gentleman, I'm seeing a man in the spirit world that is standing to this side of you, Mitchell, and that would be your dad's side. And so what I want, yes, exactly where you've got your hand. I don't know if your dad's dad, so your pop, if he has passed over, but there's a man here and it's like he's whistling. And as he's doing this,

there's like a dog that is running toward him. And I can hear a name being called, and I don't know if the name is John or, like, John. There's this J name. He's calling out a name, and I don't know if that name is, like, his name as in this man. No, the dog. The dog's name's John? Yes, little Johnny. He's the one that died in the septic tank at home.

Oh, Mitchell Coombs. We talk about this often. Mitchell Coombs. This is so confusing. Mitchell's dog, John, fell into the septic shit pit and drowned. He was the most noble, beautiful sheepdog and it was the most undignified death. He just accidentally fell into our shit, really.

But, yeah. Well, you see, he's actually around you. And this is really interesting because people ask me all the time, can pets come through from the spirit world in person, like, you know, in sessions? And they do all the time. Well, that dog, he is around you, but he's with this man in the spirit world in person, like, you know, in sessions. And they do all the time. Well, that dog, he is around you, but he's with this man in the spirit world, and this man I feel belongs to your dad's side of the family.

That's how I feel it. And it's like he's calling out to this dog, and I just see it running toward him. Isn't that bizarre? I mean, that's what I'm seeing around you, basically. Well, I hope my grandfather on my dad's side isn't dead. He's in hospital at the moment maybe I could have called mum well no so it's so no so it won't be him it will be but it's

a man on your dad's side but isn't that interesting because what it tells me is is that if if your pop if your you know granddad has been unwell then there's a lot of love and support that's around him at this time from the other side and so that's perhaps why as I've connected into just now I'm very zoned into your dad's side of the family because i imagine that that's on your mind more than anything right now wow you know so and you have just such a positive energy around you and i you know i think you must be looking at me sorry mitch that's me you're looking out on the camera yeah that's only only mitchell coombses have bright auras. I'm sorry, Mitchell. Sorry. Oh, thanks. All tarot cards are out.

Well, yeah, yeah. These are my oracle cards. I have psychic soul oracle cards that I've released. And I'm going to draw cards for you, Mitchell. Oh, wow. Are you open to this? Of course. Well, it's just... Yeah, I feel, Mitchell, that you are a very spiritual person, actually.

You're quite spiritual and very intuitive. And so this is why you're very psychic. I mean, I'm sure that the others will vouch for you and sort of say when you meet somebody, you think, you know what? I really don't like that person. I get a negative feeling. You pick up on energy and you're very in tune with that. Wow. Would you guys say that to me?

Yeah, I'd say that to you. Definitely. Oh, I like these cards. So you have here the Guardian Angel butterfly card and also the card, the Butterfly of Successful Outcomes. Oh, thank God. Well, yeah, basically, you know, this card is all about bright prospects, good news, celebration.

Well, of course, it's your birthday we're celebrating. But at the same time, well, that's it. But at the same time, it shows me that pretty much this year moving forward, there is a lot of good news, a lot of bright prospects. Whatever you're putting your mind to, it's as though you're going to have great outcomes with. And I feel that the universe is almost telling you, you have to just trust. It's like this is a big time of trust for you. Well, he's left his job, Mitchell.

Well, there you are. So you would be feeling a little bit on edge, I imagine. And so this is really you finding your way, finding your trust, finding yourself. Who's William? My brother-in-law. Well, the grandfather on my dad's side, his middle name is William. So everyone calls him Bill.

But then there's also my brother-in-law, William. Yeah. No, no. So because everybody calls your grandfather Bill and because he's been unwell, and we often call William, as you say, Bill, and that's his middle name. I really feel it's actually about your granddad. I think it's about your grandfather. I really feel that there's a gentleman in the spirit world, and I don't know if he's lost a brother,

but there's certainly a man in the spirit world that's very connected to your grandfather that I feel is watching over him and almost giving him what you could call his healing energy at this time, giving him positivity. I really feel that whatever the concerns are, I mean, look, you know, I don't predict negative things because I think there's enough, you know, BS in the world, isn't there? It's a bit like, you know, but I just get such an overwhelming sense that he's very protected, but so are you. And there's this dog, it's so bizarre. And when, look, I don't want to say it out loud, but basically when his time does come to cross over,

just as Mimel as all of us, as well, I believe that dog will be there waiting for him. Oh, that's sweet. Johnny. Yeah. Johnny. I don't know what colour this dog is, but I see like. Brown.

We could assume brown after the incident. Or whether, or if I'm seeing him black and white or whether. Yeah, he's black and white. Yeah. So, so he's there. He's well. He's just saying hello to you. And he's come to wish you happy birthday. Thanks, Johnny.

I thought I could say that, to be honest. Now, I need to ask. It's kind of annoying that you've been such a nice person today because now I have to ditch this running joke that you're my nemesis. Oh, it's so funny. Because a few years ago, I don't know if it was you or someone running your Twitter, but I was blocked by Mitchell Coombs on Twitter

and I've just had this running joke that, yeah, we hate each other. We're fierce rivals. Oh, my God. Are you kidding? Just log on to Twitter.com and unblock me, Darlene. That'll be fine. But you didn't see that coming. It was someone in his team.

It was one of the archangels. Yes. Oh, look, you know what? Well, you know what the problem is? There was a time on Twitter specifically where there were so many fake profiles and people that were like copying and then they were scamming people out of money. Oh, yeah. And so I would imagine that whoever I had has seen you and gone, you know, oh, my God, if there was some similarity or if you were tweeting or something and got we have to shut this person down. So I apologize for that.

I don't apologize. We're all good now. Terrible. Well, who are you telling that you're that I't apologize we're all good now terrible well who are you telling that you're that i'm your that we're enemies everyone everyone no it's a joke you're not actually saying you're enemies is it i had this segment on my old podcast where people would call in it was kind of a play on the fact that um i always get inquiries in my dms that are meant for you and people would call in and i'd give like bullshit parody predictions and I'd be like, oh, well, seeing as that dog Mitchell Coombs blocked me,

I may as well just steal his business. So I can't forward them on to him. Are you kidding? I'll have to send you one. Oh, my God. How the fuck do I not? How the hell do I not have that on my radar? Yeah.

Seriously. You need more people. Everyone talks about their freaking camp and their people. I'm going to have to like sack them basically. Really? Mitchell, are you getting anything for the podcast? Anything coming to you from the show? I'll tell you what, let's draw a card.

Well, let's draw a card, shall we? Oh my God. Let's do that. Oh my God. Oh, well, I've drawn two cards and the cards are spiritual signs and new ideas, which basically just means we'll be on the cover of New Idea Magazine. Oh my God. Or he just goes, your ideas, which basically just means. We'll be on the cover of New Idea magazine. Oh, my God.

Or he just goes, your ideas just shouldn't stay on. New Idea magazine. There's lots of new energy, new ideas. So watch this space, basically. I think with you guys, we know this, don't we? Expect the unexpected. I mean, God, it's all unpredictable with you lot. Yes, it really is.

What do you reckon my quarter life crisis will be? I have been thinking about going blonde anyway, but it's like everyone's going to think that's what the reason is.

Was the broken dick not the quarter life crisis, guys? No, that was more of a personal crisis. Have you not had it yet? Shit. I thought we'd been through yours. I hadn't reached it. Oh, no. Oh, shit.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. I was ready to get out of here, guys. Wow. Who is it? reached it. Oh no! Oh shit. Oh no! Oh no! I was free to get out of here, guys. Wow. Who is it? This is super secret. Birthday guest number three, contraceptive diaphragm Sam Adthamab. Who is it?

How you doing? We are good. Mitchell, happy birthday. Happy birthday. Thank you so much. Wow. How old are you? 25, right?

And remember we were saying the other day, Jenna, when Jack Vigin was here, it's like when you're a fan of someone, when you're young, it just kind of, it always stays with you. So I'm just like, oh, short stacker talking to me. Sean, short stacker back, right? Yeah, which is crazy. It's like today we got like our first, I don't know if I can even say this, but like our first person to offer for like when things get back together.

Yay. Cheers to you. We're all pissed anyway. So cheers to Sean. Cheers. Wow. Sean, Mitch is such a big short stack fan. He adores you. Cheers to you We're all pissed anyway So cheers to Shortstack Cheers Wow Sean Mitch is such a big Shortstack fan He adores you

We've even done something with Sean in the past on the show, right? Yeah I was telling you about how I noticed that Sean followed me on Instagram And I was like dying My inner fangirl that's just kind of unwavering Yeah Was very excited by that And then you took my phone and tried to call him

And it was Oh yeah, it was a whole thing. Yeah, very embarrassing. But anyway, here you are. Wow. I like your stuff. You guys are funny. Oh, thank you. Thank you, mate. That's very... We appreciate that. And let me tell you, Sean, Sean was just texting me... Now that you're like, do you feel like... Because you guys are like TikTok famous as well.

Do you feel like older people don't get it? They don't get the TikTok thing. They get get the TikTok thing. They get the other Instagram thing. Well, that kind of works for us, to be honest. We don't necessarily want them to get it. It's a different thing. Yeah, 100%. We're happy that they don't get it.

And my parents wouldn't know how to listen to a podcast if they tried. I really do need to thank you for just kind of keeping up with my taste in men because when you were in the tight, skinny jeans, like emo-looking guy, that's what I was into at the time. And now you've got a child and it so happens that I'm into daddies now. So you've just really adapted with my needs, really. So thank you for that. Hey, you're more than welcome. Don't all of the Short Sack members

have kids now? We all do, yes. I've got two and the boys all have one each and we all have beards as well. So we're like, we're fully embracing this whole dad thing. It's a little bit less rock star, but I still love it. I feel like I'm growing up with

Short Sack. Yeah. Can't wait for your old man face yeah we'll do the rsl clubs one day i'll be there yeah mitchell will be there i've already been to one at the orange x services so like um i've done it once i'll do it again you sure short stack in orange yeah we played there didn't we yeah my dad drove me down especially for it. Oh, he did? He did. Oh, that's sick. It was just very strange. It was like this little old ladies' place and we were playing there. Oh, don't forget, Sean. Like a bowls club.

It wasn't even like a proper orange. Mitch is a country boy, so that's his Kudos Bank arena. Orange. It is, yeah. Hey, Sean, well, this is all we wanted. A great big birthday surprise. You're an absolute legend. I've gone red.

He's so nervous. He's very often speechless, but you've is all we wanted. A great big birthday surprise. You're an absolute legend. I've gone rampant. He's so nervous.

Oh, that was hell. Oh, why do you say that? Jesse's got an Android and he wasn't answering the FaceTime calls. I wanted to prep him this morning and he didn't answer. And he's like, can we Skype? I'm like, what do you say that? Jesse's got an Android and he wasn't answering FaceTime calls. I wanted to prep him this morning and he didn't answer. And he's like, can we Skype? I'm like, what do you mean Skype? She's stuck in the era that short stack were big. Anyway, Mitchell, happy birthday.

Happy birthday. Well, thank you very much. God, I don't even know what to say. You've been throwing shit at me as well. I know, I know. Well, we can take a breath now. You haven't even had one of those cookies yet. No, because I respect our listeners who always write in and say that they hate us eating on the show.

Hey, let's take a breath. Well, we're about to finish. I can eat after that. You can eat after that. Now, pick. Who was your favorite guest? Oh, no. I couldn't possibly.

Oh, I'm sure you could. No, I couldn't possibly. Okay. The one sure you could. No, I couldn't possibly. Okay, the one that I got, actually, they were all, I wasn't expecting any of them. The one that I got the biggest shock from was Bridie Carter from McLeod's Order. I was like, what the fuck? Is she right in front of me?

But then I never would have predicted Mitchell Coombs. He could have predicted it, but you know. So all of them were a shock. I don't know. There was no favourite. No. Mitchell's fucking reception was the best. Yeah, it was. Crystal know. So all of them were a shock. I don't know. There was no favourite. No. Mitchell's fucking reception was the best. Yeah, it was. Crystal clear.

Very cool. That bloody prediction too. Bang on. I can't believe we got the shit picked up. Oh my god. I'm gonna have to send that audio to mum and dad. Just be like, let Pop know that there's some sort of male figure on his side watching over. Yeah. You finally had a podcast birthday. I know. Thank you very much.

You're all too good to me. All right, guys. We'll see you back next week for a very lackluster show. Hey, I'm back producing, baby. It won't be lackluster. That was actually very impressive. I've got to say, you're creeping towards passing probation. Three guests in one show.

You can do it. See? You can do it. If that didn't get me past probation, what fucking will? I'm a very hard taskmaster, Darlene. Next week, the Dalai Lama zooms through. Fuck, if I thought it was hard

getting Sean Diveny, the Dalai Lama will be like, can I have a cup phone? I'm like, no, Dalai Lama. Alright, we'll see you next week, guys. Happy birthday, Mitchell. Happy birthday, Mitchell. See you next week guys happy birthday mitchell see you next week guys is it just me a podcast by a couple of mitches make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app Oh, sorry. Go on.

Oh, I've got to do it. Shit, yeah. Welcome to AD Debrief.. Oh, go on. Oh, I've got to do it. Shit. Yeah. Um, welcome to AD Debrief. The shit part is on. Secret segment on the end. We pretend we're gone and then we, yeah, keep chatting away. Keep chatting away. Just don't listen. Don't listen to this part. But we're just a little bit more of our gronky selves here and we don't want everyone to see that side of us. So we trick the losers out of listening. This is the after party as we say. There's no commitment. How fitting. Today tricked the losers out of listening. This is the after party, as we say. There's no commitment.

How fitting. Today's a birthday party. This is the after party. I'm contraceptive diaphragm. Sam is coming to join the party. Oh, please have a seat. Join the round table. I just came for more booze, but that's fine.

There's not that much left. We've gone through it. You don't have a microphone. Guys, I've prepared everything else. What happened? It's a teabag gone rogue. Oh, shit. Oh, no. See what I mean when I say this isn't the best part of the show. Now, I've prepared everything else. What happened? It's the tea bag gone rogue. Oh, shit. Oh, no.

See what I mean when I say this isn't the best part of the show. Now, we also, Mitchell. Sam had to pick up a mic and it caught my tea bag. Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Jeez. Someone call back Sean Diveny. Was that appropriate to tell him that I think he's a daddy? No, I love that. He is a daddy. Now, Mitchell,

we haven't done the birthday tradition. We did get you a chalky mud cake from Coles. Yeah, again, I don't want to eat on the show. You have to cut it, though. Yes. Comes out dirty, have to kiss the closest girl. You don't want it to come out dirty. No.

I came out dirty. My mum was very mad. All right, everyone sing. Ready? Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you You're all so out of time.

Happy birthday to you Oh, it definitely came out dirty. Oh, that's fucking filthy. Oh, dear God. This show's felt so self-indulgent. Let's talk about someone else other than me. Mitchell Coombs. He was a great guest.

Oh dear. Let's all have some cake. Now Mitchell, why don't you have a sugar cookie lane cookie? I will but seriously, people don't like us eating on the show. I'll do it later. No, I want you to try one. Trust me, I want nothing more than to try one but I don't want to be a pig. Well, I also haven't seen them. I just want to look at them. Oh, I want you to try one. Trust me, I want nothing more than to try one. But I don't want to be a pig.

Well, I also haven't seen them. I just want to look at them. Oh, yeah, here you go. Oh, okay. Thanks. Ta. Does anyone actually want cake over here? I'll have a slice.

Yeah, why not? Oh, Jenna, have you seen these? Look at little Isabella. Where's Isabella? Oh, look at the little Isabella, the clever little girl. It was so hard. She's on a cookie. I'm pretty sure this is a screenshot from a video I had to get.

Really? I couldn't find a HD photo of Isabella anywhere. Oh, and you couldn't ask me, of course. Fuck. Don't you look great? How did you get? Oh, I just realised that's why I was kicked out of the Enduring Idiots group. Oh, you've realised? Yeah, I just thought that because I I was kicked out of the Enduring Idiots group. Oh, you've realised?

Yeah, I just thought that because I've had Facebook glitches all week, like all things. Like he's asking me to re-verify my page. Like, oh, you're definitely the owner. And I'm like, it's my fucking name. Yeah. Like, and so I've had issues all week. And so I thought that it just kicked me out of the group.

There we go. That's why. Oh, it was very stressful. But you didn't realise that I can access the group through a couple of mentions, so I just let myself back in? Yeah, I didn't see any of it. Jenna, why didn't you flag it with me? No, because I knew, but I thought... You didn't want to crush me.

Yeah. I didn't see any of it. Oh, good. Well, it was only up for 24 hours. Yes. Okay. That must have been while I was oblivious. I filmed a video with my ring line.

Yeah, a lot of effort went into it. Thank you. And I said, guys, you've got 24 hours to film a video. And then I said, we need the videos by Monday so Sam can edit. Oh, poor Sam had to edit it. I know. Thank you, Sam. That's okay.

I did that three minutes before the show started. So that's the amount of care and dedication I have. Wow. Yeah. Sam, look at these cookies. Now, do you want to eat Mitch's face or his pussy? I think you'll find they're not yours to offer. I do feel as though that I've always wanted to lick at least one face of a Mitch.

Oh, my God. You've offered to fuck me, and now you're saying you want to lick me? Like, is there something you want to say, Sam? I've always hated Isabella. I'm going to bite her. Look at Isabella. Guys, I was being respectful and not eating on the podcast. And now I'm the only one not eating my own cookies that I never said you could eat.

Fuck them. Could I have an Isabella? Thank you for asking, Jenny. Yes, you may. You're both dead to me. That's fine. It seems like a you issue. Oh, I notice that there's more Isabellas missing than me.

All right. There's a clear favorite here. Yeah, good. Isabella. Did you like the fan messages? Weren't they cute from a clear favourite here. Yeah, good. Did you like the fan messages? Weren't they cute from all around the world? Yeah, they were. Far out. Something about this just seems a bit off. Oh, you're eating me? Yeah, no, just the whole thing.

Like, I also have to make that decision whether I slowly, like, devour you from the bottom up or decapitate you early on. Like a tiny teddy. Don't you bite my head off. Um, Did you actually put me on these cookies just so that you could have that joke

of the two things you love most are yourself and Isabella? Yeah. Love it. Sugar Cookie Lane... Yeah, you're right. This sounds disgusting. Yeah, I hate it. Apologies.

Sorry. Did I do well or did I do well? Yeah, you did well. You did well. Let me tell you, Bridie Carter cancelled at the fucking 23rd hour, whatever that expression is. Yep. You need some water.

You're just like, Bridie Carter. No, I'm fine. No, I'm all right. It's the sugar. Bridie Carter cancelled at the 12th hour. Really? Why? No reason.

Scheduling conflicts. Oh, what have you got on, Bridie Carter cancelled at the 12th hour. Really? Why? No reason. Scheduling conflicts. Oh, what have you got on, Bridie? No offence. That's what I thought. She's too busy. And then I got another email saying, hi, Mitch, Bridie's commitments have been cancelled. She'd love to do it. I'm like, thank fuck.

Oh, that's sweet. You know that she charges a fucking mint on cameos. I'm surprised she did that for free. Well, let me tell you. I looked in there and I thought, no, I got Bridie's manager's number in my phone. Let's make it happen. Oh, is that how? Okay.

I'm not paying a cent for Bridie Carter. But Mitchell Coombs was four grand on cameo. That's how we got him. Mitchell Coombs was so willing. But I will say we had to have a long prep call before this. What do you mean? The whole blocking situation. Can you not chill on Mike?

Sorry. The whole blocking situation. Because guess who has to deal with the complaints? Not you, me and Jenna. What do you mean? What complaints? People were saying that they hate us eating on the podcast and the sound of... They just messaged you to, hi guys, don't tell Mitch. No, we're the ones that check a couple of Mitch's DMs.

I check it. Oh, well there you go. You get the complaints too. Don't do it to yourself. Sean Diveny. Stop yourself. Sean Diveny. Stop eating. Sean Diveny was organised in the couple of Mitch's DMs. Do you know how hard that was to keep away from you? What did you do? I didn't see any of that.

I moved it to the hidden folder, which I didn't even know you could do. There's a hidden folder? Yeah, yeah. Wow. So I kept forgetting. I've retired from social media producing, I don't know. I kept forgetting to go back. So I'd message him and because there's no notifications for the hidden folder,

I'd be like, fuck Sean Dibbity! Like four days later. Did you not see the easiest way around that, that you just use your own Instagram? You need me to problem solve for you, darling. Because I got his number in the process, so it all worked out. I've got Sean's number. That was day one.

This has been in the process for a long time. It's finally finished. Wow. I can finally rest. So what guests have you got for us next week? Dido, has she come through? We won't be having another guest for a year. Is the Dalai Lama really coming on?

He's not. He said no. Haven't heard back from Dido yet. Did you at least message the other Is It Just Me podcast? You have had her. So they've got some sort of contact. I messaged Jo Elvin on Instagram. Really?

Yes. And she gave me the contact. I emailed the contact, who'll be back with my local contact, who said no, we don't have access to Dido. Your local contact said, why the fuck do you want Dido? Yes. Dead set. And then they said, oh, when she releases new music, she'll do like one article with,

you know, Bleach, Brown and Rocks mag or something. Like something really Dido. Like a really random. Like Nature and Prams magazine. Like she just chooses the most niche market and does one interview. Then how did she end up on Is It Just Me, the podcast? Not ours, the other one. Well, Joe Elvin said we're old friends.

And they're British. Oh, well, tell him to put in a good word. No, Joe Elvin. Give her a call and say, hey, Dido, fuck what the label says, but just go on these fags' podcast, will ya? No, we knocked Joe. Give me your phone. I'll do a voice message.

No, we knocked Joe Elvin off number one in the iTunes charts. And? It was bad blood. It's not. He gave you the contact. I'm only assuming. So Dido's in the works. So maybe next birthday, 26th.

Nah, you keep hustling. Fucking hell. Guys, I'm exhausted. We're very proud of you. Thank you. You've done very well. I mean, I do it for my own show, but then this show, nah. What are you doing to celebrate tonight, Mitchell?

As in the Sunday that this episode comes out? Yes, yes, yes. Oh, God. I'm having to put myself in the future. You're like, what are you doing tonight? I was like, oh, shit. Well, we are in lockdown. There's not much you can do.

Well, that's the thing. Nothing. And also, our Instagram live, like we do every Sunday night. That's it. That's it. True. Where'd your party hat go? Did we give him one? I thought I looked a bit stupid. I'm like, I'm going to use this video when there's guests and I've just got a fucking hat. Like, I just looked like

a parking cone. How do I look? Oh, is mine still there yet? Yeah. Didn't even feel it, but numb. Is there any more of them bubbles left? No, that's it. That was an expensive bottle too. Okay, that's all right. That's from Moet Chandon. Now, you guys want to give your gifts to Mitchell?

Um, yeah. Oh, I gave the badge. Oh, yeah. Jenna, you're passed. And this I have written specifically for you. I've dragged the organ back out. Oh, yes. It's a new interpretation that has not changed at all.

He's playing. I feel like this is just the biggest, like, representation of 2021. A wilted rose was what Jenna gave me. She probably fetched it out of the bin that Amanda Keller throws her coffee in. Yeah, Jenna, that's a bit rough. I gave the badge! Yeah, that we paid for. Was that on the kitty-o?

No. No. Jen. We have the receipts. We have the receipts. It wasn't on the kitty-o. The muffins weren't. The muffins. There's no muffins. You're right. I need a water. The cat was. Here you go. As if we bought you a cat.

Thank you. I wanted to get you another cat. Oh, Isabella would hate that. Yeah. Actually, I don't know. I've never had her with another cat. Someone suggested the other day that I should take my cat on a play date with Jenna's. Yes.

So we're going to go to the lawn at Jenna's mansion. Oh, God. And see how Isabella takes to it. Yes, because they've both got harnesses and everything. Have you seen me taking her for walks? I watched that Insta live. It was like a fever dream. It was so bizarre.

She's loving it. Did she enjoy the walk? Yeah. Because some cats hate it. When I had a guinea pig, we used to walk in. Cats hated it. Walking a guinea pig? You're a guinea pig. They're barely conscious half the time.

Pets Paradise had guinea pig leads. Actually, I got my guinea pig, Russell, a lead as well. Don't know why. I don't know if it's like one lead fits all, like if it's for all small rodents. I'm not quite sure. I wouldn't actually walk the guinea pig, but I would use the lead because

every time I let him go rogue, he'd just go into these really hard to reach places. So I just use it to basically pull him back, coax him back out. What would he sound like again? Yeah. Russell! The poor little bastard. He's just trying to escape the clutches of prison that is his life. No, I let him out the cage to go wandering.

I was a good parent. He had a whole farm to play with. But if he got stuck under an auger, I'm not going to fucking leave him there. With his life, Inspector, see, that's like a whole week of his life he was able to run for the hills, hoping for freedom,

and now just reigning back in. Yeah, well, I don't want him to get stuck. Also, I was so good to that guinea pig, and did he bother to show up by Mitchell Coombs? No. Fucking Russell. Imagine that. I've got a message to that guinea pig, and did he bother to show up via Mitchell Coombs? No. Fucking Russell. Imagine that. I've got a message from your guinea pig.

What does he have to say? It's funny you say that. Imagine. You could have fooled me. I don't have to imagine. Imagine if you gaslit me into thinking my guinea pig's talking to me from heaven. From beyond the grave? I know where his grave is.

I dug it. Did you? Mm-hmm. Where? Back yard. Really? Check again. He might not be there.

Yeah. Oh, God. We buried our first guinea pig under our mango tree in the backyard. Didn't have a harvest of mangoes ever since. It soured those mangoes right up. The corpse of that pig. I didn't have a harvest of mangoes ever since it soured those mangoes right the corpse of that pig i didn't hang on i didn't realize that you got the the remains of the guinea pig back from the fucking sea eagles i assumed that the sea eagle picked up patch yeah fucked off and just had his wicked way with it it did did. This is the first guinea pig. Oh. Sandy. Sandy and Patch.

We've had multiple deceased guinea pigs. We have. Poor Patch, though. I've told this story. He's the size of a football. He was picked up by a seahawk. And murdered. I'm not joking.

I'll be the hawk. You be the guinea pig. This is exactly how it happened. Mum, I'm gonna go give Patch the celery heads. Patch? Patch? What's this? What's wrong, Mitch?

I found one hawk feather, Mum. And it's covered in pig blood. That's it. That's what happened. Poor Pat. No, we knew because there were actually feathers and a hunk. Because guinea pig's fur just falls out. There was hunks of fur and feathers. So he either killed the horse.

We don't know. But he was taken and never seen again. So you didn't witness it being carried away? No. Oh, anything could have happened. Feathers and guinea pig fur. He also lived in a dog hut. Like a dog kennel.

He didn't live in a hut. He was free range. Well, that's where you went wrong. Yeah. No, no. Always got to buy those cage-free pigs. So all three of you grew up with guinea pigs. Yeah.

Is this something that I've missed? Yeah. What did you have growing up? Were you a dog boy? No, no pets. None at all? We had a stray cat that came round to our house. Oh, no.

That we kind of took in as one of our own, except my dad didn't like the idea of having a stray cat, so we just left it outside. Yeah. And it stayed there for six days. So you had the opportunity to adopt and bring home this cat. And it just stayed on our balcony for six days, wanting us to feed it, wanting a home, wanting love.

But no. He's never had a pet, hey? He was writing music. Jenna, bring in the donkey. Here we go. Bring in the donkey. Your first pet's a fucking Shetland pony. Try to make good money in that.

Yeah, far out. Now, look, happy birthday. Thanks. Yeah. It's really good money in that Yeah Far out Now look Happy birthday Thanks Yeah You can't see your family Sorry that wasn't rubbing in Yeah thanks for that

You can't see your family That was a segue into the message Because your mum was like Oh well look after him for me I told her all the surprises I had in store She was like thank you You're such a good friend And I went no no worries, Jane.

And then she said, oh, I want to re-film. She had to re-shoot it. What was the original draft? Her. But then she got with Nicole and the grandkids. Right, yeah. And I said, what about Mark? And she never replied.

He's tiling a bathroom somewhere. Mark's like, who? Yeah. The sidekick? No, your brother. And wasn't that great, Mitchell Coombs? Oh, yeah. No.

But they'd never forget. What's wrong, Janet? What are you laughing at? Yeah. Janet did get the mug cake from Coles. No, from Woolworth. Oh, sorry. Of course.

Well, that's big of you. Glad we clarified. And the lollies and the potty hat. Yeah, there is actually a bowl of snakes right in front of me. And can I just say, here's actually because I was robbed of my year, Jim. Can I do mine now? I'll give you a sound effect, Mary. Yep.

Okay. Are you sure? Because now I can't claim that I did a show on my own. This isn't work. Okay, good. Is it just me? Is it just me? Or Do you feel that lollies are often neglected from adult platters?

Yes Absolutely I don't want your fucking quince paste Yes I want my strawberry and cream Yep I feel like these are often left out and overlooked These little snakes and stuff And I was so thrilled I came in and there was lollies everywhere I was like fuck yeah I feel like these are often left out and overlooked these little snakes and stuff and

i was so thrilled i came in and there was lollies everywhere i was like fuck yeah i feel like i'm a kid again i don't want a block of fucking marinated kalamata olives no exactly i want a snake yes that being said i did have like 10 of them while i was just sitting here talking to you about the show yeah like that i've had a i've hit a wall i've got talking to you about the show. Yeah, I like that. I've hit a wall. I've got nothing to give. Yeah, the sugar headache. All gone. Yeah, that's actually partly, I mean,

I pretend that I respect our listeners, but it wasn't just the chewing. The other reason I'm not eating any of this is because I'm like, fuck, the sugar headache mid-show. That's no good for anyone involved, is it? Oh, that's half the reason I made the video montage 10 minutes. I was shoving them in. If I met you a singer, I'm like chomping down. How did he send the videos

to you? I got a very long list from Facebook Messenger, which I've then had to download individually. So that was fun. Thank you for that little project. That's fine. But I had to, let me tell you, I mentioned fucking impossible, record a video message, go do it.

Because if I did text, it doesn't get the attention. So I recorded a video in my home setup. All right. And was like, guys, we have 24 hours. I've kicked Mitch out. We need to put a video up. I need you all to send me 10 minutes, 10 seconds maximum. Send it to me in vertical on Facebook Messenger, on Instagram.

Send it. Thank you. Good luck. All the messages. Hi, Mitch. Does it need to be a PNG file? No. You made it very clear.

It was a very clear video. I went vertical. She went, is that long or high? I'm like, high! Sent it, but recorded it within the app, so it just sent as a video, like a little someone sent a video. It didn't send as the attachment that I could download on Instagram. It was like a Snapchat.

She's like, happy birthday. Gone forever. I'm like, please send it and record it on your phone. She went, but I don't like how I look. I'm like, well, I can't help how you look. And also, we're the only ones seeing it. It's not going to matter how you look. It's just the audio for the podcast.

I did promise that we would publish the video on social media. We? Yeah. I said we would. You publish the video on social media. We? I said we would. You don't have to do it now. Circling back to your earlier question, what am I doing on my birthday? Editing a video of my own montage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry about that. Oh well, that's sort of it, isn't it?

That's the life we lead. You're unemployed. We? I am so exhausted. Are ya? Oh! Have a snake and perk up. I've done too much. Can you imagine if every episode of this podcast where I look after all the preparation and you basically rock up and I've got everything prepared, I carried on the way that you do?

I've planned everything. It's called comedy. Could have fooled me. Sounds like whinging. Also, is this Wilted Rose all I mean? Jenna. Yeah. I said I got the badge. She's like, I had to crawl over broken glass for that. That was bad. Poor Jenna. Actually, the badge was very nice. That wasn't in my ingredient list. This is no povo badge. It's a good one. It's got glitter inside it.

Oh. There you go. What is it called? Sugar Cookie Lane Cookies on Instagram. Give them a follow. Support small business. Yes. They're brilliant cookies.

She also, Mitch. I wouldn't know. No, you wouldn't. Not yet. Actually, no, I had one of your ones that had your face on it for your radio show. But these are pink, blue and yellow itcham colours. Aren't they cute? Oh, I didn't even notice.

Yeah. Itcham colours. Also, she said, now I'm testing a new product. And she said, can I let you guys be the first to try it on the show? I said, sure. She said they're Oreo and chocolate mud cake pops. Where? Here. There's one for all of us. You take them both because you're the birthday boy.

Sam, could you pass it all to Mitchell? I'm very confused. What are the options? So the ones that look like ice blocks. They all look like ice blocks. No, no, no. But the ones that are like geometric and have Oreo chunks in them. The other look like ice blocks. No, no, no. But the ones that are like geometric have Oreo chunks in them. The other ones are just cake. Oh.

Try it on the show. I'll mask it with some eating music. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Should you take a photo for Instagram? Yeah. I feel like people need to see these. Because like they're quite a spectacle. It's not just like some shit on a stick.

I'll put the party hat on. Oh, are we in it? Oh, sorry. Fuck. I thought you were getting a photo of me. Can I be in it? No. Wait. We don't need to do this now.

Can we do this later? Alright, everyone. Big smiles. One, two, three. Good, good, good, good. There we go. Well done. Thank you. I'm gravitating towards this pink one. So what is that? Chocolate cake or something? I think it's chocolate mud.

Mud. So it's basically mud cake on a stick. It's very sparkly. That's hectic. It's like a magnum. But instead of ice cream on the inside, it's mud cake. Yeah, it's good, isn't it? Oh, that's fucking hectic.

Yeah, she knows what she's doing. Sugar cookie lame. You dog. That's fucking amazingctic. Yeah, she knows what she's doing. Sugar Cookie Lane. You dog. That's fucking amazing. They're so good. Bloody oath. All right, well, should we wrap? No.

Okay. Milk this birthday for all it's worth. Thank you, Sugar Cookie Lane. If I had a dollar for every time I'd say Sugar Cookie Lane, I could probably buy a house on Sugar Cookie Lane. I also love how many shout outs you're giving them and you're a paying customer. If they gave it to you for free, I'd get it. Like they're getting their money's worth.

I paid for these. And I also didn't even put them on the fucking podcast, Kitty O. So I'm like, Mitch will get a notification being like, $100 to Sugar Cookie Lane. Did you put anything on the podcast? No, it's your birthday, except for the lollies and the hats. Okay, because I didn't get any notifications for future reference. Rip me off. Did you use your Westpac card instead?

I bought it. Oh, yeah, Jenna bought it. That's why. We have to repay her. Well, happy birthday. Thanks. Again. Happy birthday.

Yeah. Now, we should get out of here. Happy birthday. I should mention, you are getting a a gift But it's lost in transit Which sounds like Oh really A blatant lie But eventually

At some point Blank over From who From me Oh just you Oh look at him go That's such a boss move Isn't it

To be like This was the group present But I've got one myself Yeah well you should see mine Yeah I should It's lost It's wilted on the table I felt very upstaged With your wilted rose I've got one myself. Yeah, well, you should see mine. Yeah, I should. It's wilted on the table. I felt very upstaged with your wilted rose.

Yeah, Jenna, I was quivering in my boots with Bridie Carter on the line. I got the badge! I got the badge! He just threw the rose across the room. Did we get the footage the moment Mitch saw Bridie Carter come up? Yes, it was sensational. Yeah, it was great. I can't wait for people to see. And listen, I'm no actress, so that reaction, I was like,

I can't believe. I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't that. What's a hit short stack song? Sway, Sway Baby. Sway, Sway Baby would probably be the big one. But then what's the other one? Princess. Princess.

Princess. Yeah. Something about a disco. I mean, I loved the whole album. All of them. There's emotional album tracks and stuff. There was another time. I remember they showed up at sunrise when they used to do

little things in the plaza. For some bizarre reason just girls and gays. What do you mean bizarre? You don't get that anymore. What Australian artist has like thousands of teenage girls and gays standing out the front of Sunrise waiting to see, I don't know. True. Sean Diveny.

I went up to line out the front of Sunrise once. Did you? It was for the seventh Lemony Snicket book launch. What? And I got it. A series of unfortunate events. Actually? Yep, the seventh book.

Oh, my God. And it was just as unfortunate as the ones before it. It really was a series. And I met Koshi and Mum cried meeting, who's the really handsome weatherman that everyone loves? Grant Denyer at the time. No, not Grant Denyer. He was in a coma at that point, I believe.

Oh, yeah. James Tobin. Not James Tobin. He's like Silver Fox, grey-haired fox. Simon Reeve? Simon Reeve, no. Mark Barretta? Mark Barretta!

He's not weather. I just had to assume that you got it wrong. I was like, let's go to other categories from here. Barretta. Would we call Mark Barretta a from here. Beretta. Would we call Mark Beretta a silver fox? Yeah, he's handsome. I would. Would we?

Beretta is handsome. Oh, Mark Beretta can do whatever he wants to make. Really? Oh, yeah. He can walk out. You know. Yeah, look at him. He's a handsome fella.

Father of the year, 2019. Good for him. Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, so I got the Lemmy Snicket book. Lemmy? No. You said Lemmy Snicket book. Lemmy Snicket.

He sounds simple after one line. Lemmy Snicket book. I got the Lemmy Snicket book. That was the first time I read a book that, you know when they try to be cool and they cut the edges of the pages so it looks withered i think they did it they do it with all fantasy books yeah so like the end not the spines but where the flat end of the pages are they like trim them and i'm like oh my god this this book really has been through some unfortunate if you think that's edgy i had the all the twilight books

with the red pages on the outside it's like they dipped the with the red pages on the outside. It's like they dipped the paper in red just on the outside. So when you looked at the book, it was red. Yeah, my Dragonology was gold like that. That was Egyptology, the gold one. Sorry, Egyptology was gold. Dragonology was red. And Wizard was blue. What are they symbolising with the red and the Twilight?

Blood, vampires. Oh, yeah, right. That's obvious, isn't it? The allure of human blood. Or the Twilight. Blood, vampires. Oh, yeah, right. That's obvious, isn't it? The allure of human blood. Or the apple. Twilight was the same time as my short snack phase. Yeah, that would have been... You know, I've never seen a Twilight film.

What? You're not missing out. Really? Yeah, it's not for me. Oh, they're shocking. Like, we... Like, my friends and I, we loved them as kids, and now we just...

We have Netflix nights, and they come over and we just watch it and bag it, because we're like, what the fuck? Yeah. I had the great unfortunate event of having to watch Breaking Dawn Part 1, because let's not forget, they broke those films up into two parts. Which didn't really need to happen. No need for that.

You've just got this one scene of Bella and Edward arguing, and then he walks out of her room and she stands there looking out a window feeling sorry for herself for a good ten minutes. Terrible. No good. And everyone's like, are you Team Edward or are you Team Jacob? I'm like, I haven't seen a hospital musical.

No, this is Twilight. Are you Team Edward or are you Team Jacob? If you watch the movie with the 50 glasses on, you can totally see the glimmer in their skin. I just remember thinking, like, I was feeling Bella's sexual frustration through the pages and through the screen. I was like, Edward, just fuck her already. And then when they did, he broke the bed. I was like, oh, he's got some monstrous vampire cock.

You know how they've got this super strength? I was just like, oh, he really fucking rattled her around. I forgot how he broke the bed. I haven't seen it. Is what? Has he got a magic dick or something? No, apparently every vampire has like a power and his is like super strength or something. Actually, or do they all have that?

They've all got a designated power and his's just being able to read people's thoughts, but he can't read Bella's, which is why he's so attracted to her because she's so intriguing. You're the only person whose thoughts I can't read. But why can't he? Because what's wrong with her? She smells. It's legit what it is. She just doesn't have a brain.

She's just a dumb bitch. Is that the plot, really? No. We don't know why he can't read it, but then you also have to bear in mind that vampires are bloodless, so how does he get a stiffy? How does he root up? They don't have blood in their veins.

How does he bar up? How does he fucking walk? My main worry. That's too much. I wasn't watching those movies. What else came out at that time? Was it 2008? Yeah, 2008.

What were we doing? A Thor came out. 2008. I think I would have just started high school. Yeah, I was in year seven and eight when it was, like, big. Lady Gaga released the Just Dance single. Wow. She did.

Katy Perry also bursts onto the scene. Kissing a girl. I kissed a girl. I remember her Rove interview and she was like, Rove was like, have you ever actually kissed a girl? And she was like, well, my dad's a church pastor and he'd be so mad if I had. That's a real niche memory.

Grow up, Katy. You remember that? Your memory is so intriguing. I would have remembered such hits as Jumper. No. Bronson. No. The Day have remembered such hits as Jumper. No. Bronson. No.

The Day That The Earth Stood Still. No. What about 2008 movies? 2008 Sex and the City movie hit theatres. Oh, very good. Big deal. Angelina Jolie. Angelina and Jolie.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt welcomed their twins into the world. Britney made a comeback. That dog died to Marley and me. Oh, wow. Spoiler alert. Oh, Obama into the world. Britney made a comeback. That dog died to Marley and me. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Spoiler alert. Oh, Obama won the election. Oh, yeah, yeah. Arguably the most impactful.

I'm trying to think what movies you were watching, though, because if you weren't watching Twilight, what were you doing? Slumdog Millionaire? No. I watched that. Was Harry Potter still a thing in 2008 or had they wrapped? No, it was still a thing. Yeah, there was some overlap there.

Half-Blood Prince, I think, came out that year. There you go. Mitch, were you watching that rubbish? Yeah, that was the first movie that scared me, when the Dementors came out. First Marvel movie, Iron Man came out. Disaster movie. Now, that's a movie.

That's funny. Do you remember that movie, 2012? I loved it that that is still one of my favorite disaster movies i was terrified of 2012 what was it about 2012 that everyone thought the world was going to end they made a movie just to make everyone even more paranoid i was very well versed in this so the mayan calendar which we have and know and follow the mayan calendar the mayan calendar um ended on december 21st 2012 so everyone was like that's the end of time that is it right yeah so everyone thought that we were going to explode and there was movies

and everyone was nervous but you know that movie was great i wasn't nervous i was ready i was like bring it on bitch after watching the movie 2012 where there's floods and shit i was like yeah i'm i'm good you know the weird thing is that that will probably just happen one day. We'll wake up and the earth will be imploding on itself. Yeah. Just go, oh, it's today. I beg your to bet. Yeah, I'd walk out on the road.

Yeah. Go for it. Well, that was a beautiful act. You've got mail. Oh, that's Sean Diveny. He sent me an email. He sent you an email Immediately after the interview
