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

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

What about me? Don't forget Chin-O. Who? Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coombs. Yeah, 78. Doesn't it feel great, hello Mitchell? It does feel great. I'm at home.

I've got a glass of wine. And I'm in the workplace. Why not? Loud and clear. How's home life? Oh my God. Our third wheel prize keeper Jenna is back as well. Jenna, guess what?

What? The funniest thing happened last week because we were doing the show from home, both of us working from home. Yeah. And I said to Mitch, you know, if you're going into work anyway, if you're going into the studio because you've been deemed essential, you've got the letter and everything, why are you working from home? And he goes, oh, yeah, I can just do it from the studio.

I was like, you fucking idiot. Because I literally sit here, the exact same seat I mean I do my job from, and I'm like, this is kiss. I literally sit here, the exact same seat I do my job from and I'm like, Mrs Kiss, goodnight everyone at midnight. I've got to go home and do my podcast. Yeah, like you doing the podcast from home, it's not going to stop the spread darling. It's not going to quash anything if you're just going to go into the office for work straight after.

I know, it's like a taxi driver getting out of their car not to use it for personal use. That's my workplace! No, that's also where you work. Great to have you back, Jenna. Thank you. It's good to be back. Great to have you back.

Boy, Jenna, you know what else I realised last week? What? I thought that the singles bubble applied to me because I'm single, as in I'm allowed to choose one friend that's allowed to come over because, you know, there's no intimate partners keeping me company. It's good for your mental health. Yeah, it does, doesn't it? It only applies to people who live alone.

So because I have a housemate, because of fucking Jordan, I hope you heard that, I can't have any singles over in my bubble. So I was thinking, oh, who do we know that lives alone? Jenna. Yeah. That's true. Me and my cat. You and your cat.

You're entitled to the singles bubble. So we were thinking. Jenna decides. We're thinking. Jenna decides. We're doing a Jenna decides. There's two hosts on the show. No. You can only choose one Mitch that is allowed to come and visit you. Mitch C or Mitch C.

One or the other. Who do you think is going to be better for your mental health during this Sydney lockdown, Jenna? Can we pitch? Because I want to pitch like I'm on Shark Tank. Yeah, because at the moment it's none of you, so tell me. Have you already chosen someone for your singles bubble? No, I haven't.

Okay. I want to pitch. Yep. Jenna, I have a Gregorius and affable personality that will bring joy and nothing but laughs, good times and positivity. Classic hits. Classic hits. We can watch. What show did I just tell you? And nothing but laughs, good times, and positivity. Classic hits. We can watch, what show did I just tell you I started watching?

Handmaid's Tale. Nothing brings joy to the world like a show about woman's oppression in a totalitarian society, I can't speak. I can cook. I can clean. I have logins to every streaming service, including Disney Plus and Paramount Plus. Paramount as well. And I will say, as of today, I reached platinum level membership on Uber Eats. So I get 15% off all orders.

Really? So that's my pitch. Yep, I hit platinum. Oh my god. That's me in a nutshell. Passing it over to Mitchell Coombs. Okay, I hit platinum. Oh, my God. That's me in a nutshell. Passing it over to Mitchell Coombs. Okay. Well, Jenna.

Yes. I feel that I can keep you company, but I can also improve the mental health of your cat that you've got living with you. What's her name again? Vans? Her name's Connie. Reebok. Connie.

Yeah, Connie. My mistake. Yeah. So I can also bring Isabella. They can have little playdates. So it's a two for one, darling. Killing two birds with one stone. Don't fall for it, Jenna. Oh my god. Don't fall for it. And look, I don't mean to put down other people by way of making myself seem better, but I am going to slag off the competition here. You know what Mitch is like. Any spare

moment he has outside of this office, he likes to spend with his loving gay boyfriend. He won't even visit if you choose him. Okay, Jenna, it's up to you. Jenna decides. Take your time. The power's in your hands. Well, first of all, I was going to pick neither. But then I was convinced, particularly by the cat.

I'm sorry, Mitch. It's just for Isabella. I want Isabella to come over. Mitchell can stay at home. I want Isabella to play with Connie. Also, you've chosen the cat. The pussy wins out. Did you hear that, clever girl?

Did you hear that, baby? You're going on a play date. Isabella, you're coming to my house. So, Mitchell, you can drop her off. Yeah, just drop her off. You're not allowed in. I'm okay with that. I'm all right.

That's the plan. You know who also lives home alone in the singles bubble? Contraceptive diaphragm Sam, who is here. Hello, Sam. Hello. Oh, hello. I can't do this any longer. I can't.

Get it out. Pull it out. Guys, it's contraceptive diaphragm Sam's birthday. Happy birthday, Sam. What the fuck is that, Jenna? I just want to point out the thing you pulled out was the shabby, half-torn up birthday leftover piece

of shit banner. Oh my God. But it's adorable. Jenna pulled that out of her crotch. It's like 46 centimetres of alfoil. You know that we said that we were going to pretend that we forgot about Sam's birthday, but I did say to Jenna yesterday, hey, go buy some party supplies and shit.

Maybe something that would be good audio, like a party popper, one of those blower things. And what did she get? A foil banner. Very visual. You can hear it. Oh, God. Come on, let's milk the audio, Jenna.

Scrunch it up or something. Throw some more. Well, I wasn't feeling festive before, but now. Sam, happy birthday. Happy birthday. Thank you, darling. It was so awkward. Mitch was like, why don't we pretend we've forgotten

and then surprise him? And then I walk in and you're there and I'm like, hi. I felt so rude. Yeah, I viewed Sam's Instagram story, which was some reference to his birthday, and I was like, oh, now I'm going to seem like more of a bitch because I know it's his birthday and I've chosen to say nothing, but I knew all along. Yeah, we knew.

All right, happy birthday, Sam. We love you. Happy birthday, Sam. If it's your first time listening to the show, everyone, welcome to Is It Just Me? Every week we start the show the same way, something we notice, something we hate or appreciate. They're our idioms, the core of the show.

I-I-J-M. So many people message us and go, I've got an E-D-G-Z. I'm like, what does that mean? IJM stands for Is It Just Me, guys. That's right. Branding. After we've done our Is It Just Me, thank God Jenna's back because we're doing one of my favourite segments, Jenna's Junk.

Oh, I love Jenna's Junk this week. It's been weeks since we've cleaned out Jenna's Junk. I, I love Jenna's Junk this week. It's been weeks since we've cleaned out Jenna's Junk. I'm filled to the brim. The rim? Mm-hmm. Isn't it brim? What? No, it's brim.

Excuse me, Jenna's talking about her rim. It's very private. Well, that's what I was about to say. If it's filled to your rim, good for you. Thank you. No, it's very, there's a lot of junk in there. Okay. Also, we've got a guest joining us later on.

Have you guys been watching Lux Listings on Amazon Prime? Of course I have. It's so bloody good. It makes me jealous that I live in a two bedroom flat in the middle of the city. Yeah. It's not the sort of show I'd usually get into. I'm not one of those people that watches, you know, million dollar listing or whatever. Yeah.

Or this real estate porn basically. But it's like high end real estate in Sydney. Yeah. And I fell in love with one of the agents, Delene Lewis. Yeah. I love her. And I think she's such a boss. I think she's awesome. I think that our listeners can learn a little something from her.

I think she can tell you a little something about not letting your own self-doubt hold you back. Oh, wow. So she'll be on later on, Delene Lewis. I have to say, when we were booking her, because I was going through my Celebrity Black book to get her on the show, and I called her D. Leanne seven times to her manager. Oh no. It is spelt D. Leanne. It is. It's capital D

apostrophe Leanne. So then I said to Mitchell, I'm like, oh, I'm pretty sure we've got D. Leanne. He's like, who? So she'll be on later on. Should we start with our idioms for the week, guys? Yeah, who wants to go first? Is it just me or yours? Mine's a bit heavy. Why don't we start with our idioms for the week, guys? Yeah, who wants to go first? Is it just me or yours? Mine's a bit heavy.

Why don't we start with mine? Is yours a bit lighter? Oh, yeah, definitely. Okay, let's do mine because mine's a mosh, guys. It's technical and it's emotional. Let's start first idiom of the week. Is it just me or... Do any other Apple Watch users feel like they sometimes just need to rip it off and throw it in the bin?

Oh. That seems like a dreadful waste of money. Why? What do you have against it? It's not that. I don't know what it is at the moment. I think it might be that we're in our... Is this our second lockdown in Sydney?

I think it's our second official lockdown. But it's like our longest lockdown. We've been in it for six months, six weeks. God, it feels like six months. And I feel my anxiety is at an all-time high. Like I'm so tense and I'm so stressed at work, just going from here to work, from here to work, from here to work.

People working from home, they're firing off heaps of emails and I have this beautiful Apple Watch on my wrist. It's like I've been wearing it for years. But this thing is connected to everything. Like I constantly get notifications. And for the last couple of weeks, I could not pinpoint why I feel so stressed. And then I forgot to wear my Apple Watch for a couple of days

and life was bliss. Really? That's interesting. Because I feel like people sometimes can feel that their phone notifications going off all the time can be a trigger for anxiety. Because particularly for someone who already has anxiety if their phone goes off they might you know catastrophize and

their first assumption is oh someone's messaged me i must have done something wrong yeah i must be in trouble someone's calling me out am i about to be rejected or something and so some people instinctively they link phone notifications with some sort of trouble. But I think if someone's had treatment for anxiety, they learn not to have that reaction and not assume the worst. Yeah. All the news we've been getting lately is negative. I had my Apple Watch on this morning when I was going for a walk and I got four ABC news notifications about five deaths from coronavirus and then 200 and whatever new cases. And then this is happening.

And then the vaccine rollout's been bungled. And I'm like, I'm trying to walk and give my body some much needed endorphins. And then I'm being hit with all this negativity. Like it's intense. Yes. It's actually so ironic that when we're going for walks, a lot of the stuff that I'm using is on my phone and I get distracted. And I'm like, I'm trying to be mindful. Oh my God. All I'm doing is skipping my song on Spotify and I've got a

million fucking things popping up. And I'm like, this is going against what I'm actually trying to do here. Have a bit of P and Q unwind. Have you ever been in the situation? It happened to me today where I have like a playlist of songs that I really like at the moment, but there's some duds, but I'm like, Oh, I'll add them in. Cause in 10 years I'll listen back and go, Oh, I remember that song, even though I don't really like it. And I hate it. So then I'm, i'm like oh i'll add them in because in 10 years i'll listen back and go oh i remember that song even though i don't really like it and i hate it so then i'm i'm like listening to music and then i zone out on my phone i go into facebook or instagram and i realize that a terrible song is playing and it's at the end i'm like why i should not i should not be listening to this but i'm being so distracted by the shit on my news feed it's really bad i think i don't know how

we pull back or what happens but collectively collectively I was talking to Hayden. I mean, Mitch, everyone, I feel like collectively New South Wales and Australia at the moment with COVID, everyone's feeling very tense and on edge. Yeah. You said that your anxiety is at an all-time high, right? Oh, it is. And ironically, I worry about your anxiety a lot

because I used to suffer with it myself really badly. And after seeing a shrink on and off for a while, it's gotten better. I'm not cured, but, you know, I don't even recognize how much less anxious I am now compared to the old me. Like it used to be really bad. So I know it's not pleasant. And I don't think people would pick you for someone who struggles with anxiety because you're so outgoing and confident but i know that i see it you get overwhelmed and you don't know how to deal with it so like what in what ways does it manifest you know do you get the tight chest or anything like that

no i just stop doing things you shut down i just shut down so avoidance i just go no i can't do it i just will not reply to that or i will ignore it. And especially, like I do a radio show. Now it's on from 7. Like I'm doing a five-hour radio show in the peak of when everyone else is trying to contact me. Like all my other friends are relaxed from 5 o'clock in the afternoon. They clock off and they chill. And then I'm just starting to be on. And you've heard my radio show.

I feel like I've just dropped fucking seven tabs. I'm giving out tickets and cash and yelling at listeners. And's no producer i'm running around like an idiot so and that is when i like my body clock is naturally like let's just chill out and and zone out but i've got to amp myself up so i almost feel like it's twisted for me and then the double-edged sword is that i'll wake up at like 10 a.m and everyone's at work but i'll just be having my coffee and having my cereal then the fucking the news presses on we have them at 11 a.m every morning i'm getting this depressive information it's like god it's like a weird cycle i'm stuck in yeah it's hard to switch off when you're literally wearing your notifications so i'm glad you're not wearing that thing as often anymore

but i think it's tricky because everyone the advice is if you're feeling lonely reach out to a friend during lockdown but people shouldn't take it personally if the friend they choose to reach out to is in a completely different headspace and they're not feeling chatty yes like they might be they might be trying to unwind themselves they're not in the mood to maintain a conversation over text and so i like to think that people wouldn't take that personally if for example they reach out to someone and you know they're hoping to have a bit of a chat because they're feeling lonely themselves, but then the other person is like, fuck this,

I don't want to chat. Go away. Notifications are stressing me out. And you know me, that's big for me. So many people come to me and just think that I'll always be ready to have a chat, and I will. Like, I will happily do it. I had someone come to me this week, a listener of the show,

with coming out advice. And, of course, I'll jump at that, and all I want to do is help. But, like, it zapped me. But I at that and all I want to do is help. But, like, it zapped me because all I want to do is make them feel like they've got that one little bit from me. And then after I, like, sent voice messages and was helping this person, it was like 6.30. I'm like, fuck, I've got to interview Camilla Cabello. I think I just need to prioritise where my energy is going.

But it's a learning process. So this, Apple Watch is going off. I'm taking it's a learning process so uh so this let's uh apple watch is going off i'm taking it off oh there we go yes it's off it goes just i didn't know how to make it work for an audio medium and how long have you been wearing that thing i feel like it's rubbed all your arm hair off look at my tan oh my god oh sam's got one too i've got one no no it's the worst oh my god mitch, I'm going to put it up to the camera. Sam, why do you say that it's the worst? Because you never take it off.

Yeah. Yeah. And also, side note, best thing I ever did with the watch was remove all notifications that weren't messages. Yes, I did that yesterday. I went through and turned off notifications for Qantas. I'm like, why did I have them on? Yeah.

I was going to say that. I was like, why did I have them on? Yeah. I was going to say that. I was like, I'm staring at a very obvious solution here. Turn off fucking ABC News. Delete the app. I have. I did it yesterday and I feel so much better. Let's do a group, a mass exodus. Jenna, you've got an Apple Watch?

Yep. Take it off for the show. Sam, take your Apple Watch off for the show. I've never had an Apple Watch, which must be why I'm just so low maintenance. And stress free. You're a walking Apple Watch. What are you laughing at, Jenna? Have you ever considered seeing a shrink for anxiety in general?

No, because mine, it ebbs and flows. So even talking about it now, I just don't talk about it. So talking about it now has even helped me massively. But I feel like you don't even have to have anxiety to see a therapist. Yeah. It's just a place where you can express yourself. To unload. Yeah. Unwind.

And a lot of the time I've been in appointments with a shrink and I've thought to myself, what is this achieving? Why am I even here? But then over time you realise that something has just clicked like the tools and strategies and whatever that they've given you to cope with stress and anxiety have just sunk in at some point and then you look back and go oh shit i am less anxious than i used to be but you know what it's this i saw this i think yesterday this past monday uh it just started august for whenever this episode comes out but um the most calls were placed to Lifeline in its history.

I saw that. In Australia. So people are feeling it. And I think younger Australians especially because we're able to talk about it, we're happier to talk about it and we're more aware of it. It's tough. And if you're listening to this show and you feel the same, reach out to a friend but also be aware that they might be going through it as well.

And if someone reaches out to you, don't feel like you're rude for saying to them, now's not a good time. I'm trying to unwind babes, but I'm there for you. Let's chat at another time. Cause it's hard. Sometimes people are on their phone because they're trying to switch their brain off. They're just aimlessly browsing Instagram. And then they get this really intense message and they're like, oh, now I have to turn my brain back on. It's a lot of work when you've had your brain on all day. So just, just yeah i feel like if you do reach out to someone and they're not it's not a good time for them to talk through it then don't take it personally cut them some slack exactly i think something important to remember for everyone as well is that if you

are feeling something that is intense you might go oh look people have it worse and people go through worse things and mine isn't that important but you might be going through something that is incredibly difficult for you and you're alone and that's still worth reaching out for yeah exactly and everyone's on their own journey yeah it's different for everyone that's why i asked you i was like does the chest tightness thing happen for you because some people it doesn't they don't even realize they have anxiety it's this spiral in their head they don't realize because it doesn't you know present itself physically it's different for everyone no the chest tightness sort is like a

24 7 thing for me but i think that's another what about the sweaty palms i feel like that's unwavering for you too yeah that's constant i can barely hold a mask um all right well i'll listen as we love you and i love you guys thank you for being there for me and i'm likewise i'm there for you love you too but not between the hours of 7 to 12 i hope that's been established and i hope that was clearly uh communicated all right, Mitch, ready for yours? Yeah, real change of pace coming right up. Is it just me or? Is Facebook Marketplace the most whack place ever?

Yes! Oh, my God. My love for Facebook Marketplace is at an all-time high. I adore it. I just bought something from Facebook Marketplace. It's this little tie thing for your face mask. an all-time high. I adore it. I just bought something from Facebook marketplace. It's this little tie thing for your face mask. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, so it connects to your face mask.

So instead of it going around your ear, it goes to the back. It's like a little clip thing and it's been crocheted like that. That's beautiful. Yeah, $5 from the Central Coast from some nice crochet. Supporting local business. Mitchell, what about you? What's yours? Why is it Manic?

I mean, yeah, you can find some gems on Facebook Marketplace, but I just find that that place is full of loons. Like I've been redecorating my apartment in lockdown. Yeah, it looks great. I love it. Thank you. It's on my Instagram. Fortunately, I didn't have to deal with Facebook Marketplace much

because my friend Talisha rescued me. She's got her own little side hustle going on as a decorator. She's brilliant. She's in the TikToks. She's very good. She's always been so good at that. Check out her Instagram, digsbytow. But, yeah, thank God she did most of the furniture trawling for me

because every time I'm on Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree, I'm like this place is full of fuckwits, honestly. You should hear the amount of things that people misspell on these websites. Really? Okay, show us. Yeah, there's a whole BuzzFeed article dedicated to marketplace misspelling. Oh, my God. Yes.

Go, go, go. Right. So I'll tell you the misspelling and you tell me what they're actually trying to sell. Some of them are tricky, but some of them are super easy. You'll know straight away. I'm ready for this. This is fun. For $110, this person is

selling a microwave. Oh, that's it. Microwave. Microwave, yeah. Yeah, it's a microwave, but they've written it like a name. Michael Wave. He was a pro surfer, wasn't he? In the early thousands. He was very talented. He was great. Yeah, okay. Now, how's this for a bargain? For $100,

someone is selling their Porsche. Porsche. Now, how's this for a bargain? For $100, someone is selling their Porsche. Porsche. Well, that's a car, but it's too less of an asking price. Porsche. Porsche? Like a front porch? Is it like a wooden deck? Porsche.

Yep. The photo is literally someone's veranda. They're selling their Porsche. Oh, come on. How do you sell a Porsche? But they printed it as Porsche. Also, how do you pick up a Porsche? Yeah. No idea. Good for them. How do you sell a Porsche? Also, how do you pick up a Porsche?

No idea. Good for them. For $20, someone is selling their gran's abdomen. Their grandmother's secondhand abdomen. Oh, Jenna, what are you getting? Abdomen. Abdomen. Grand piano grand abdomen. No, it's just their grandmother's. So the word is abdomen. That's what they got wrong. Abdomen. Grand. Grand. Grand piano. Grand abdomen. No, it's just their grandmothers.

So the word is abdomen. That's what they got wrong. Abdomen. Ottoman. Grand's Ottoman. Yep, it's Ottoman. How does Ottoman come from abdomen? I don't get that.

Ottoman. What does it look like? Is it nice, Mitch, for 20 bucks? Yes, it's like a little pink poof. Oh, that's pretty. All right, what's next? I like this game. Jenna, you'll love this.

Yes. For $560, someone is selling a coughing. A coffin. It is a coffin, but they've said it like. You know what's so funny? A coffin. I went to Marketplace when we were searching for a coffin for our episode while I was waiting for Caring Funerals to get back to us.

A great episode. When we put Jenna in the coffin. We put Jenna in the coffin. Go back and have a listen. That was the season two finale, I think. Yeah, episode 53erals to get back to us. A great episode. When we put Jenna in the coffin. We put Jenna in the coffin. Go back and have a listen. That was the season two finale, I think. Yeah, episode 53, I want to say. Yeah, and I message so many people about coffins and they're so expensive.

So I wish this was around at the time. That coffin. Any more? 47 bucks. This one's tricky. Okay. For 47 bucks, someone is selling three draft. Three draft? Three draft. So the word is draft, but is selling three draft. Three draft?

Three draft. So the word is draft, but there's three of them. Three draft. It can't be giraffes. No, it is giraffes. They're selling little giraffe ornaments. Three of them. Three giraffes.

I'm selling three giraffes. That's my favourite. That was this one girl in my high school, Abby Lawson, who would sell her assignments, and that's exactly how she worked it. So I got three drafts of the English of the My Hard Germany essay, my old take-home. My short story. Yeah, creative writing task of mine.

Oh, my God. Wow. We've got a couple more. For $100, someone is selling a trampoline. A trampoline? A trampoline? A trampoline? Not the stampede scene out of The Lion King.

Not the trampling. It's a trampoline. No kink shaming. If you're into trampling, if that gets you off. But I like drafts trampling. Yeah, drafts trampling. All right, what's next? These are great.

One more. Jenna, you might be able to use this next time you're covering up a murder. For $8, someone is selling their shuffle. Shuffle. But they've written shuffle, like every day I'm shuffling. I think I had an iPod shovel in high school. I loved it. I loved my iPod shovel.

I did have an iPod shovel, that stupid thing. And do you know that some of these loons on Facebook Marketplace, they don't even want money. Like one of my friends told me that their mum once traded someone. She gave them a bottle of wine in exchange for a getaway board game. Oh, what's the point? As in the Channel 9 travel show. They had their own fucking board game.

Why? I'll trade you a Jules Lund for a Katrina Roundtree. Roll the dice and get Katrina Roundtree out of jail. Roll the dice and get Katrina Roundtree out of jail. You're listening to Is It Just Me?

Saw a few previews on TikTok and the rest is history. First podcast I listened to turned into the podcast I'd listened to on a Wednesday on my way home from the hospital for my midwife appointment. With my coffee frappe calmed my nerves and got me walking into my appointment stress-free and in a great mood. Oh, she said she's got a high-risk pregnancy. Oh. Oh, wow.

Shay. I love that we were a bit of company through that. How nice. She said, so thank you, boys and Jenna, for making my Wednesdays and hospital visits more tolerable. Love you. Oh, Shay, we love you too. Thank you so much, Shay.

Our pleasure, Shay. Don't they say, because I've seen, I think, a Vox documentary, that the music you listen to when your baby's in utero heavily influences their personality. I have heard that, actually. This is very true because my mum listened to fucking Spice Girls and Basement Jacks and Jamiroquai. I'm a poof. Oh, my God.

Imagine if her child comes out chuffing on a fucking vape. Oh, my God. It just comes out with cat claws. Cat nails. A great head of hair with a vape. Oh, it just comes out with cat claws. Cat nails.

Decent number of people called Mitch. Five stars. I love her. That's us in a nutshell. Thanks, Dallin. You got a mug, Eliza. All right, guys.

We should get Delene, right? Yeah. So anyone who's been watching Lux Listings on Amazon Prime, you'd be familiar with the boss bitch herself, Delene Lewis. I think she's awesome. She's in this industry that has a lot. It's very male-dominated, wouldn't you say? Oh, yeah, very male-dominated, a lot of testosterone floating

around those open houses. Yes, and I've been watching this show, which is all about high-end real estate in Sydney, and she just has so much poise. She really holds her own, and I just fell in love with her. So I said to you, Mitch, our official guest booker, I was like, get me Delene Lewis. You couldn't even say a bloody name, but hey, you got her on the show. That's why it took so long because I accidentally booked Delianne.

She's a hooker from Las Vegas. And I said, how did you sell that house in Toowoomba? And she said, what house? And I went, oh, I'm so sorry. We don't need your services. Oh, Delene Lewis is not selling fucking houses into wombah just quietly but anyway yeah we spoke to her it was so much fun i was told that i couldn't work in real estate because i was too young and i was a girl i thought well that's bullshit

hi hi how are you guys very well i'm great i'm so glad to have you on as soon as i was watching lux listings i was like, yeah, I've got a favourite already. Delene is awesome. What's a bit of backstory? How long have you been in the market? Have you been a real estate agent in Sydney your whole life? Yeah, so we moved from South Africa when I was 10 and we located

in Blacktown because that was actually the only place we could afford. And my parents are still there to this day because they still love it. Yeah. And then I came out and started working in the eastern suburbs when i was 20 and the rest as i say is history because i'm 49 now so you know my maths ain't that good but i figure it's 29 years right that works that checks out yeah round up to 30 i reckon yeah and obviously if there's one thing we learned on the show it's that you don't deal with like shit houses, you deal with the best of the best. In fact, our wealthy staff member, Jenna, I believe she's had some dealings with you. Her parents are also rich like her. They

might have sold a few houses. Where are you, St Ives, Jenna? What area are you? No, they're in Double Bay. Double Bay. Double Bay. Welcome to my hood, Jenna. That's Delene's territory. I wanted to ask because you mentioned a lot on the show that early in your career, you were underestimated a lot because you were a female in real estate. And that was something that at the time might've been considered a bit rare. What would your advice be? Because we've got a lot of young female listeners to people who might be in a place where they're feeling a bit self-conscious. they don't back themselves as much as they should. What would your advice be? Mitch, I still get underestimated and I've been doing this for nearly 30 years. So underestimate me at your own peril is what I say. And I think that that should be males or females, the same

thing. It's like age does not need to be the definition of your skill set or your abilities as a human being. The only person that limits your abilities is you. And so it doesn't matter if you're male or female. This business is not a gender-based industry. It's a results-based industry. And you are defined by how hard you're willing to work and what sacrifices you're willing to make. And that's really, you know, like I made a lot of sacrifices in my 20s when everyone was out partying. I was working my butt off to just prove myself.

And, you know, even after 29 years, I still have to prove myself every day because you're only as good as your last week's results. You know, the results from 10 years ago don't count because people want to know what can you do for me. And, you know, that's why I'm like for you guys, you know, I've been with the client for an hour and a half. She had a bad situation with a real estate agent. She didn't know me. She called me the other day and I had to sit there and make that relationship with her.

She doesn't care what I did two weeks ago. She cares about how I make her feel. And that's just a skill set that I think it doesn't matter what I did two weeks ago, she cares about how I make her feel. And that's just a skill set that I think it doesn't matter how old or young you are, you can hone that and you can be great at whatever you choose to do. It's all up to you. Delene, we have very similar lines of work. Like all we do is we just spin shit, you know.

We just talk, we get people in the studio. Sometimes I get artists in because I do the radio show as well. I've never heard the song. The song isn't the best, but I've got to make them feel like this is the best song in the world. We will play it nonstop. Mitch, are you saying that I spin shit for a living? Oh, I think that's for you, Mitch. Did you just say that?

I feel like your shit spinning may come with a couple of extra zeros on the end of the pay packet too, Delene. It matters where you put the decimal point. I agree. Yeah, you're actually getting something out of your shit-spinning. I get nothing. You get cash. Yeah, just don't put the dot in the wrong position. How do you deal working with all these male figures?

Because I saw this, I think it was episode one of Lux Listings. You're on that yacht on that big boat in the middle of Sydney Harbour. A couple of sangrias were sunken and then these men, they get so, you know, their egos come out to play after a couple of drinks, maybe it's the seasickness, but you sat there, you were on that little ottoman, you looked him straight in the eye and that tension was dissolved. Like you really, really nailed him. How do you deal handing with these big personalities? I have dealt with boys like that all my life, right, since I was 20,

and I've dealt with a lot bigger personalities and more successful men than that. And, you know, the one thing I've always lived by is that when they go low, you stay high. You do not need to take yourself down to their level to make yourself feel better. And I teach my staff that, my daughters that, it's just you live by example. You know, listen, and those guys are good guys, right? They were drunk boys on a boat. They were just drunk boys on a boat because if you're comfortable with who you are, you never have to tear anyone down. Yeah. Do you reckon

you've gotten a bit better in terms of work-life balance? Because the other two main guys on the show that they were following, I noticed there were a lot of comments like, oh, work comes first. I'm married to the job. And part of me thinks, yeah, you know, work hard. I get that. But also it just, to me, I worry that it's a bit unhealthy to just be obsessed with work. Do you reckon you've gotten a bit better with work-life balance? Absolutely. I mean, I made the decision a long, long time ago to have and keep my feet very firmly planted on the ground because this business, you can make a lot of money, you turn into a wanker, right? And a lot of it, I've been very vocal about that, like not liking that stuff. And so, balance teaches you not to be a wanker.

You teach about, like I give a lot to charity i i make sure that i'm helping people because it's not just about me it's about making you want to leave a legacy do some good for the people around you it's not just about making money because life is bigger than that if you're sick there's no amount of money that's going to get you better right and those are the kind of things that are really important is live your life to the fullest, be the best version of who you are. Balance teaches you that. And I've always worked in the law of attraction. Like the better you are with people and to yourself, the more goodness will come into your life.

And, I mean, I sound like a freaking hippie. Sorry. But that's actually what I believe and good things have come into my life because of that, because I focus on trying to be balanced. And when I'm balanced, I'm just better with my work, better with people, and I'm happier. Oh, my God, Delene. You need your own podcast. Like, Delene on me with Delene.

Like, that would be. Oh, you just said Delene on me? Yeah. Take it. Take it. That's a good name. Delene on me, the podcast. I would listen to that.

Your self-help. I mean, sure, help me buy a house. But that on tap, I would listen, Delene. Dude, listen, my meditation teacher, shout out to Tim Brown, meditation teacher, he's amazing. And listen, I've been with him for three years. He's helped change my life. He really has.

One thing I didn't realise about real estate until after watching this show is how much chasing and like cold calling needs to be done to get a listing. I thought that real estate agents just sat around twiddling their thumbs and then someone would needs to be done to get a listing. I thought that real estate agents just sat around twiddling their thumbs and then someone would come to you and say, hello, can you sell my house? But you have to really chase people. Do you feel like there's a lot of rejection involved with that? Yeah, I get told to F off a lot. And that's okay. It's not a day unless you get told to F off at least once. You're like, yep, okay, that's been a successful day.

But it's the numbers game as well. Like you have to make those calls to be able to get the yeses and you're going to get no's as well. And if it was easy, everybody would be doing it. The guys that are in there for a quick buck, they just don't last. And there's a lot of those guys, Mitch, that are in the industry that they post a lot of stuff on Instagram and they talk them in game and they walk around in their shiny shoes, but, like, guys,

where are your results? Like, keep on talking. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't necessarily need to talk about how successful you are. The results will show that. Yeah, I agree. And the clients will come to you because they see your results

and also that you're not a wanker. That kind of helps. Don't tell, show. Yeah, exactly. I feel like I've always been one of those people, especially recently, it's kind of been my motto, like, oh, it can't hurt to ask. You don't get anything by sitting around waiting for it. Whereas the other Mitchell over here, on the other hand, he's a little bit more polite.

He hates confrontation. And I'm always trying to get through to him. What's the worst that happens? Someone says no, just ask the question. What's your advice for him or anyone really to cope with rejection? You know what? It's not the more rejection you get, the better you become at dealing with it. Yeah.

And you can get lessons from that as well. Like no one gets anywhere in life without any rejection, right? And so it's not how you get knocked down that counts. It's how you get up that matters. And it really does make a big difference. I get rejected all the time, still now. You know, people say no to me. And I ask the question, do you mind me asking why?

Because ask the why, because that's the only way you get constructive criticism. And you may not always agree with it but take a little bit from it and go okay you know what there's a good lesson in being humble being able to learn life's lessons because i tell you what no matter how long you're in any industry you still have to continue learning if you don't continue learning you die emotionally mentally and physically you have to push your body you have to push your mind you have to push your body, you have to push your mind, you have to push your spirit because that's how you become a better human being. And part of that, a big part of that, is learning how to deal with rejection.

All right, I'm going to try. Ask me out on a date. Oh, my God, Delene, I was just about to. You knew it. Delene, I don't have a Range Rover. I have a Hyundai i30, but I can still pick you up. Would you like to go on a date? Okay.

Thank you. How do you feel? I feel crushed. No, I feel fine. I feel fine. And I'm happy as just friends. That worked. That was good.

She's right. She's right. Now, we were saying earlier that a big part of real estate is being able to spin shit and describe things in such a way that makes them sound really glamorous. And I believe, Mitch, you've got a bit of a challenge for old mate Delene over here. Yes, because I see you selling a house, right, and you are so descriptive. And the way you, like, it's sometimes I could close my eyes and I could still picture what the house looks like without even seeing it. You guys do such a good job of selling these properties.

Mitch and I, like we said, we're no Jeff Bezos's, so we don't have super mansions in you know the eastern suburbs but we do have humble little apartments so what we've done is we have text delete a photo of both of our living rooms and we thought would you be able to in your most professional way sell our apartments as if it was an open house or someone was looking at getting it trying to make the most unglamorous apartments ever yeah sound desirable you're asking me to spin shit aren't you yeah yes yep basically yes okay good thank you so you've got mine and mitchell's mine's really white and then mitchell's has the cat so you can start which which the cat doesn't come with the apartment by the way okay Okay. Am I going for the white room first?

Yeah, go to your place first. Yeah, go mine. Go mine. Okay. So this is a wonderful room. It's got very high ceilings, got 40 ceiling doors, which lead out effortlessly to sun-drenched balcony, lots of bench seating.

What a fabulous entertaining space. Great for alfresco dining. People all year round entertaining at its very finest. Look at those district views. Oh, my goodness. God, she's good. This is incredible. Sold.

Can I buy it? I want it. I'm only renting. The price has gone up to $8 million. Oh, she's good. My commission's going up as well. She's good. Oh, that's so great.

I am sold. We'll put the photo up so people can see. I feel like my house might be more of a challenge because I took this photo without cleaning up first, so it's a bit of a pigsty. Yeah. Oh, no. Well, your apartment is really warm and cosy. Wonderful floor.

Leaning out to this very private balcony with exposed brick, which is a lovely feature for the 60s. We've got multiple seating areas there, tons of storage and lots of room for cats. That's what I'm about. Done. Oh, my God. That was good.

How did I go? How did I go? Did I pass? You did remarkably well. I could see a bit of panic in your eyes. You're like, how the fuck do I talk this place up? Yeah. Well, you know, I have to say my very first place was in Dover Heights

and it was a tiny little shitbox of a place. The toilet was so tiny I had to squeeze myself in to go there. God. But it doesn't matter where you start or where you finish, that counts. Yes. Everyone's got redeeming features, don't they? Hey, look, we adore you and Lux Listings has been renewed

for Season 2, which is such great news. I was really, I couldn't believe when Season 1 finished. I binged them all in one go and I was like, what, is that it? So thank God it's coming back for Season 2, which is such great news. I was really, I couldn't believe when Season 1 finished. I binged them all in one go. I was like, what, is that it? So thank God it's coming back for Season 2, Delene. I loved it. Have you started filming? Yes, we have.

We have. Oh, we can't wait. And Delene on Me, the podcast, coming soon, we hope. Delene on Me with a couple of mitches. Can't wait. You're the best. Thank you for coming on. We'll talk soon, okay?

Thanks, Delene. Thanks, Delene. You're listening to Is It Just Me? The rude shocks of young adulthood. Well, there you go. Wasn't she good? I love her. What a hoot.

Love her. The way she sold our houses. Although, Mitch, what a shame. We don't have updated photos of your property. She did your old house. I know. Talisha did her domestic blitz. I showed her a photo of my apartment before I redecorated.

If you look at the before and after photos on my Instagram of my apartment, those photos are the exact ones I sent Delene. So, like, it wasn't pretty. Can we also mention your cat looking like it was dead? Taxidermy. Yeah, my cat looks like a dead cat that's been stuffed. She doesn't move. We have to put these photos on the Instagram.

Poor Isabella looks like she's been shoved. She's dazed. She looks embalmed and stuffed with little glycerin eyes. It's terrible. Reminds me of when the nightclubs were still open. I've been embalmed and stuffed in the poof-poof bathroom just quietly. All right. Speaking of Delene, Delene, Delianne, whatever the fuck it is,

that surely brings me out of this imaginary probation I've been floating in for the last few months. Yeah, look, I was very impressed because you've been in a trial shift as our guest booker for the last little while because regular listeners would know that I fired you because you weren't sending out the red roof surprising. It wasn't official at all. And I put you back on probation.

No, you have no power to do so, but he claims to have done. I just sit back and let you do it. Mitchell, don't back chat. So I put you on probation and your trial as our guest booker was your chance to come out of probation. And I was very impressed because this was as simple as the process was. I said, I like that Delene chick, get her on. And it happened.

It happened. It was, it was very, very impressive. And I was like, wow, he is capable. Come on, if this doesn't bring me out of probation, what fucking will? Dido? Yes. Okay.

One more. One more. One more guest. If you can get one more guest, then you're officially on a roll and you'll be brought out of probation. Oh, I get a full-time gig. I can finally get an investment property. That's exciting. You'll still be a junior, but you'll be out of probation.

Hold on. So your word now, one more guest and I'm out of probation. In the next two weeks. All right. Deal. I can do it. Okay. I'm excited.

I feel good. All right. Let's cleanse the palate. Are we ready for a fan favourite? Let's take a peek at Jenna's Junk, shall we? Yeah, Jenna's Junk. Fan fave. People love this. it's so full which is really weird that they

love it because jenna's junk is literally where we toss all of our crap ideas when you and i are thinking of an is it just me talking point to bring up on the podcast yeah and we decide no that's boring that's not going to go anywhere we throw it in the trash and then jenna rummages around in her junk you know she loves to cop a feel in her junk. Oh, God, yeah, those nails. They're good for something. I can see it from here, Mitch, and it is, oh, my God. There's a lot.

It would be fair to say that Jenna's junk has been neglected of late. Yeah, yeah, yep. All right, Jenna, you ready to dive into your junk and hit us with some? I'm more than ready. Let's go. Oh, let's just do it. Oh, they're so bad. Do you think Bubble-O-Bill has depression?

The ice cream. Yeah, that's mine. Just look at him. Look at Bubble-O-Bill's face. He's depressed. Hold on. So Bubble-O-Bill, Google it if you're not familiar, is a famous ice cream.

He's a cowboy. How do you not know that? With a bubblegum ball for a nose. Yeah, and he's miserable. Wait, I need to look it up. Oh, no, he looks so sad. He has been through some shit, I feel. Poor Bubba Loebill.

He's a farmer. I think he's definitely drought ridden. His wife doesn't love him anymore and he can't fucking stop the mice and he's just given up. Oh, of course. Yeah, everyone's to bear a thought for Bubba Lo Bill today. Next time you go to devour his head off, look at him. You know what's funny?

Bubba Lo Bill, depressed, sad. That fucking streets mascot lion, super happy. Why is he getting all the love? You know the lion? Yeah, of course. Yeah. I've got to say that Bubba Lo Bill, it's a bit hit and miss. lion, super happy. Why is he getting all the love? You know the lion? Yeah, of course. I've got to say that Bubba Loebills, it's a bit hit and miss. Sometimes that bubble gum that's, you know, his nose,

sometimes it's fine. It's a beautiful bubble gum. Sometimes it's like rotten and you bite into it and it's liquid inside and you're like, oh yeah. I hate that so much. When was the use by date on this? Yeah, I completely agree. Apparently it's a UK snack as well.

It's big in the UK. Oh, really? Who would have known? All right. Yeah, Bubble O' Bill needs no introduction, Dullit. No, sorry. My error. All right.

Jump back in, Jenna. Yeah, man. Oh, my God. So sorry. What's happened? No, no. You're not passing probation. No, no, no.

I need to go to my junk. No, Jenna's junk. Where's my junk? Are you pouring your wine, Mitchell, no. I need to go to my junk. No, Jenna's junk. Where's my junk? Are you pouring a wine, Mitchell? Maybe. Did you hear that? Yeah. Where did it go?

There we go. There we go. I'm so sorry, Jenna. There's so much here. Get handy. Is it just me or does Coles and Woolies pasta salad taste like metal? That's a me one. That's me.

That's a me thing. It's not the immediate pasta salad taste. It is the immediate aftertaste after you swallow. It sounds like you've just given a deep throat to a cyborg. Do you know what? I don't think that it ever used to be like that. It's only been in recent times. It tastes like TV static.

You know when you were a kid and you had one of those weird square energiser batteries that you put on the tip of your tongue and it would go zzzz? That's what fucking Coles and Woolies pasta bake tastes like and it's criminal. Why do we put up with this? We should ask them, why does it taste like metal? Should I call the Woolies Deli? Oh, that's a bit aggressive.

What's the old bird in the deli going to know? She doesn't make it. Yeah, I don't make it, mate. You're going to have to call Unilever, our parent company. It's over my head, darling. But Mitchell knows what I'm talking about. Jenna, do you know what I'm talking about? No, I've never had it.

Oh, it tastes like battery acid. Yeah, seriously. It's like rocket fuel. It's like so metallic-y and like it just tastes toxic. It does. It tastes like arsenic. Anyway, we won't call them. I don't want to put them in there.

Oh, she's back in. Shit, she's quick. She moves on. Oh, they're so bad. Is it just me or should retractable dog leads be banned? Why? That's a recent one because I tripped on one. So not for safety issues for the dog or anything.

God, no. You know what I'm talking about? What's a retractable dog lead? Okay, so a normal dog lead is like a piece of material that's maybe a metre or two long and you walk your dog and it's classic, tried and true. Yeah, yeah, I walk my cat. True, very true, which we haven't brought up yet, but that's a whole different kettle of fish.

Speaking of shrinks. People have, they're like little hoses. Like they're wound up and they probably go up to five, ten metres and they have a little handle. So it's your dog can run off but you still have hold of it. Yeah. Anyway, I was going for daily walks now and I went for a walk on the weekend and this lady was walking in front of me.

She was really slow and she had her two kids. And you know when you try to overtake someone, it's kind of hard, but you sort of have to walk up and then you go around and you get in front of them. Easy done. But she had a little Maltese Terrier on an extendo. Oh, we know how you feel about those. Oh. Coco.

Before I'd even seen the leader, I wanted to pelt the thing. And then it's walking in front of me. What does pelting mean? I'm picturing a Nerf gun. I think pelt means throw something. I think I wanted to throw my AirPods case at it. Anyway, this little, I hear, oh, what the fuck is that? Sounds like a plane is landing.

When a rope is being pulled. And this small T runs forward. So what I do is I go, oh, fuck being pulled. And this Maltese runs forward. So what I do is I go, oh, fuck, I'm going to have to step over it. So as I go to overtake, picture me stepping one foot over. Then this Maltese wraps back around my right ankle. And I go, oh, sorry. You're trapped. And this lady goes, Mimi!

Mimi! And I go, hold on. And then I go down to, like, pull it off, but it's wrapped around my left leg. And I'm being wrapped up like in a Looney Tunes film, and this woman can't get me off, and then Mimi's being gagged because my fucking fat calf is pulling at her rope. It was so traumatic.

It needs to be banned. And it's a common expression, you know, when someone's been a bit naughty, you'll go, put them on a bit of a leash, pull the leash. Can't pull an extendo leash if the dog's 30 metres into the fucking northern suburbs. Bullshit. Oh, I have no idea why this is in Jenna's junk.

That was right. Okay, here I go. Is it just me or did you think blimps weren't real? Me, I put that in there. What? What do you mean? Yeah. I literally thought that they were some sort of fictional thing

that they invented on The Simpsons because I'd never seen a blimp in my real life. Oh, where were you when you saw the first one? I believe I was on Bondi Beach and I was like, oh, my God, is that an actual blimp? But not only that, my cousin got a job as a blimp driver or a blimp pilot, I beg your pardon. Oh, my God. Oh, my God got a job as a blimp driver or a blimp pilot. I beg your pardon.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What a gig. Yeah. When mum told me, oh, Andrew's flying blimps now, I was like, what are you fucking talking about? Blimps are cool. I've seen a couple.

I've never been in a blimp. I'd love to do a blimp. What about the Nickelodeon blimp? Oh, yeah, because there are awards, Mitchell, of blimps. Yeah. When you win a Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award, it's an orange blimp. Again, I thought that they were just like fictional fictional but here's a little brainstorm for the show you gotta hustle our segment where we have like unconventional ideas to plug the show yeah Jana could you find out how much it costs to hire a blimp I've got a kiddo and I'm not

afraid to spend it I want to get our logo flying throughout Sydney we're profitable now we can and we've got a a driver yes true And we've got A, a driver. Yes, true. B, we've now got the capabilities to do a show remotely. So C, all we need is the blimp. Are we going to go in the blimp? Yeah, we're doing a show from the blimp. You know, we can have one to 12 people in the blimp

and apparently prices range from $150 to $1,200 a day, depending on size and amenities. Do you know what? That's not that bad. No. Not that bad. I reckon we could do this, Blimp. Mitch, you're good at coming up with catchphrases and slogans.

What could we call it? Like the Blimp special? I don't know. Yeah, yeah. Blimp and you'll miss it. That's good. I actually quite like that. Get a quote from the blimp guys, please.

Also, blimps really went out of fashion after the Hindenburg. Remember Hitler? Sorry, a bit of history for you. I studied this in high school. Hitler thought blimps were like the transport of the future, so built the giant Hindenburg, and then it collapsed and blew up and killed all these people because it was filled with hydrogen. It was just like a giant bomb.

They all died. Your memory is fascinating. Like, you literally can't remember what day it is, but you can remember shit like that. That really indented itself in your brain. I don't know what's wrong with me. Oh, she's back in. Yeah, I'm in.

I'm in. Oh, it's really full. Is it just me or how good is The Handmaid's Tale? Oh, yeah, that's not really an idiom. A lot of people think it's good. I mean, it's won awards, so yes. It's not just me. Isn't that a show about the bird that plays chess?

No, that's The Queen's Gambit. Oh, The Queen's Gamble. Oh, okay, my mistake. What the fuck is this one? Oh my god, I've just gotten into The Handmaid's Tale. They all wear red hoods. So here's the plot, Mitchell. There's like a pandemic that's hit the world. They never really address it.

But fertility rates among women. Sounds like fiction to me. Fertility rates amongst the world drop to like 5%, so no one can have babies. And then this religious cult take over America and they capture all the fertile women and they enslave them to be handmaids and they rape them and impregnate them and torture them um it's a really good show i'm not enjoying it because of that the drama it is a great show i don't know i just find it really

hard to get into shows where it's set in a world that i can't imagine myself in like when it's just a bit too far-fetched like things like game Game of Thrones, I'm like I'm never going to be on a fucking horse going into battle. But the thing is – I prefer things that are a little bit real. Like, you know, I've been watching this show on Foxtel. It's called The White Lotus. Oh, yeah, I've heard of that.

Oh, that's where the guy gets his ass ate. Yeah, I saw that. Yes, well, that's a very minor subplot but I'm glad that that's stuck in your memory. That makes so much sense why he can see himself in it. Yes, of course. It makes sense. It's got that chick.

There's a meme of her where the camera just pans from her shoes up and she just goes, hi. Jennifer Coolidge. Oh, wow. I love her. I just remembered. It's got her in it, a bunch of people. It's really good.

And it's just like a bunch of people on vacation in Hawaii at the White Lotus Resort. I can see myself there. Is it a comedy drama? Yeah, comedy. Can you do a Jennifer? Yeah, please do it. Do a Jennifer.

I can't do it. Well, do you know what she's doing? She's gone to the White Lotus because she wants to scatter her mother's ashes and she doesn't know where to scatter them because she can't scatter them in the ocean. It feels like I'm feeding fish. Oh, good. Very good.

I might watch it. You've sold me. I didn't quite sell my handmaid's tale. I've been watching so much TV, guys, like Lux Listings, got it all over and done with in two days. Big Little Lies, two days, got it over and done with. I'm like, I need Mary Good. Mitchell, I just did Big Little Lies.

Did you watch season two? Yeah. How good was Meryl Streep in the courtroom scene? Wasn't that brilliant? I know. I can't believe that Meryl Streep is such a good actress playing a mole that I now hate Meryl Streep. Like, I never thought I was capable.

True. She was brilliant. And that Nicole Kidman. That Nicole Kidman. That Nicole Kidman. She's an up and comer. I think that she's going to be something, that Nicole Kidman. Yeah, she will.

And Reese Frotherspoon, whatever it is. Yeah, something like that. She's got a big career ahead of her. I'm in. Is it just me or did you just realise the best way to unfollow people you don't care about on Instagram? This is me. I've got a tip.

Have you only just learnt how to mute people? No, no, God, no, I'm not that thick. This is a tip tip everyone get your phones out okay yep i'm on my instagram then hit follow ing right in that you probably think fuck there's a lot of inactive accounts maybe some bots maybe people who have deleted their accounts that you still follow so click following and then see at the top it says most shown in feed mitchell you're in that for me jenny you're in that for me. Kiss is in that for me. But then it shows you least interacted with. Yes, I'm just looking at this now.

So it literally tells you, you don't care about these clowns. Unfollow them. Yes, get rid of them. It's telling me to unfollow Kesha. Do it. Do it. The algorithm knows. Do you know who for some reason is at the top of my most shown in feed?

Who? Healthy Harold. No, you can't get rid of him. No, he's my most shown. Most shown? I don't think I've ever seen anything, but it's in my most shown, Healthy Harold. Why the fuck do I follow Healthy Harold? Now go to least interacted with.

Okay. Guy Sebastian. Oh, you can't unfollow Guy, friend of the show. ABC Eyewitness News San Diego. What? I don't know. Oh, my God, this can't be right. What?

One of my least interacted with people is Shania Twain. There's a fault. There's a glitch. There's a glitch in the system. What could that mean, Mitchell? I interact with her all the fucking time. I love Shania. You know what's even more interesting?

To go to their account and to see if they're still following you. And most of the time they're not. No, don't get caught up in that. Don't get caught up in that. That's your anxiety talking, darling. True, true, true. Sorry, that's the Apple Watch. Very true.

Anyway, I learnt that the other day and I think my following was at 3,000. I think I followed like a good 800 people. Do you find it weird when people get a bit obsessive about the amount of people they're following versus how many followers? Yes. I follow any old bastard. I don't give a fuck. Same.

People are like, oh, my ratio is wrong. Same. And I'm like, grow up. Get a life. I couldn't care less. Oh, she's in. Yeah, I'm back in. Okay.

Is it just me or do your AirPods never fall out? This is something, I put that in there. This is one of mine. My sister was talking to me about how I wear AirPods and she's like, I could never get those. I just get so sick of them falling out. And I was like, darling, they don't fall out. They're AirPods. And I had the same concern when I first got AirPods, they would fall out and I'd lose it. But I think that concern stems from when you had the headphones with the cord on it. They don't fall out. It's the cord that somehow pulls it.

That's true. And so AirPods, they never fall out. Yeah, no, my AirPods don't fall out. I don't think they could fall out if I make them. Have you got yours? I'm going to see if we can like literally force them to fall out. Look, I'm violently shaking my head. Nothing comes out. My headphones are coming off. You know I'm going to see if we can like literally force them to fall out. Look, I'm violently shaking my head. Nothing comes out. My headphones are coming off.

You know I'm an Apple fanboy. So am I going to shake my head? This might be good for my Chiari. Just give it a shake. Okay, don't do it. Make Jenna do it. I don't care about her brain cells. Yeah, I know. No, I'll do it. It's fine. It's fine. I can do it. See if you can make an AirPod fall out. I swear they never do.

I'm going to have to put some music on. Are you, though? A pump-up song by Kesha. I'm a motherfucker. Oh, yeah, this will get me in the mood. All right, here we go. Good choice. Oh, be careful.

I'm going side to side. Oh, my God. No, that's definitely not going to do it. You need gravity on your side. Shit. All right, I'm going to pretend I'm in a car accident. Oh. Oh!

This is pretty hard. Let me try the right side. Or you pretend that you've just gotten out of the pool and you've got a bit of water stuck in your ear. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay. I'll take one out. Get the water out of your ear.

It's a bit blocked. Quit. No, do it like this. Where's my towel? Put the hot dogs on, babe. I'll just dry off. Yeah, slice the watermelon now. I'm ready.

Don't bash your own skull in. Oh, my God. No, it's not working. These things are stuck in. If these AirPods didn't pop out when Mimi, the fucking Cavalier King Charles, was wrapped around my ankles, they're not coming out now. These things are stuck in. If these airpods didn't pop out when Mimi the fucking Cavalier King Charles was wrapped around my ankles, they're not coming out now. These things are stuck. That's what I'm saying. You don't have to worry about it. Case

closed. There you go. Listen, let's get out of here. What a great episode. Almost an episode 80, which is when normal old people die. So do you think this show will get past 80? Yeah, I did. True. Multiple times. Yeah, people live beyond 80 these days. Come on.

This time next week I'll be getting my second Pfizer jab. Now when are you guys getting your jabs? Are you booked in for Astra? Because if you're young in Australia, get AstraZeneca. It is so easily available. I've got the brain condition, so that's why I'm getting Pfizer. But get AstraZeneca, guys. It's out

there. Yeah, so because of your brain condition, you were on the short list like you were prioritized with pfizer and eligible yeah because of my chronic illness i was eligible for pfizer as well and the nearest booking i could get was like early september and oddly enough i checked my calendar that's the same day that isabella's vaccinations are due so she'll be going to the vet on the same day i'm going to get my jab. But I'm thinking, God, early September, I could just get AstraZeneca in the meantime. Do you reckon I should?

Yeah, I think you should. I'm in the exact same boat. So I've got a Pfizer vaccination appointment next month, like early September. And I'm thinking, should I just go now? The way it's going in Sydney, in New South Wales at the moment, I would just get it. I would get AstraZeneca, but I'm already one Pfizer down,

so I've got to get the next one. Well, seeing as I pass with flying colours and I'm allowed in Jenna's singles bubble, maybe we should go get the jab together, Jenna. What do you reckon? Jenna's junk becomes Jenna's jab. We totally could. Good. Yes.

Wow. Look at us coming up with ideas. Blimp and you'll miss it. I love blimp and you'll miss it. I'm sorry. Something needs to happen. We have to do it just so we can use that slogan. Jenna, book the blimp for fuck's sake.

I'm booking the blimp. One more big happy birthday to contraceptive diaphragm. Sam. We love you. He's sitting in his desk now doing work because with the show. We bored him. We bored him. We did bore him. Oh, he's coming back. He's coming back. He's sitting at his desk now doing work because with the show. We bored him. We bored him. We did bore him.

Oh, he's coming back. He's coming back. He's coming back. She's running over. Yeah, sorry, my headphones died and I kind of thought, do I need to listen to more of this? No, no, no. You mean to tell me that this is all a facade?

Sam's not actually sitting there producing. He doesn't even listen. He doesn't even listen. Sam, we have a birthday song for you now let's roll it you have a birthday we have none we sing to you there it is i thought this was special a special song just for me no this is not a svu star listen let's all say it together she does solve the crimes jenna did she brings the crimes She brings the knowledge It's like someone describing this podcast as It is an audio

Medium You can listen Yes That is it on your phone Yes you can And that birthday song There you go The birthday song was so unexpected

I wasn't expecting it. Mitch pointed out that, well, I mean, I didn't ask her to do that, but Mitch pointed out that the lyrics don't even make sense. Yeah, hold on. Listen to this. You have a birthday, we have none, we sing to you. You have a birthday, we have none, we sing to you. And it's like, Tamara, you're meant to be solving crime, Sal,

and if you dig deep, I think you'll find that everyone has a fucking birthday. What do you mean we have none? We have a birthday. Everyone has a birthday, you twit. We have none, we sing to you. Happy birthday, we sing to you. Happy birthday, we sing to you. Did you even request that part of the cameo?

No, I will send you the body. I explicitly said. She went rogue. No, let me, I'm going to get it up now and I'm going to tell you exactly what she said because it was so far. I thought we were leaving. No, no, this was so far from the truth. This is like ordering a cake and getting back a panini.

I was like, Tamara. Stick to the script, Tamara Tooney. You're supposed to be an actress. All right. This is what I said. So the question was about recipient. I said, his name is Mitchell Coombs. Mitch's cat's name is Isabella, who he adores.

Mitchell's nickname is Darlan. Our fans are called Endurant Idiots. None of that was mentioned. No shout out for Isabella. She just started fucking yodeling at me you know what i also noticed in that cameo she says when she was talking up her character saying she solved the crime she's just the fucking best um when she was talking her up she says we don't see enough of that i miss her i felt that she was throwing shade at Law and Order SVU because for many seasons early on,

she was a main character and she was in the opening credits. But now she's not in the opening credits and she just pops up once in a blue moon. It's like a recurring extra or whatever. So I think she's demoted and she's fucking pissed. Oh, interesting. That's a good point. Well, we appreciate Melinda for coming on the show. What a presence.

And we paid her to do it. All right, let's get out of here. Thank you for listening. Don't forget five star review. Oh yeah, that's right. We're leaving. Yeah, we appreciate Melinda for coming on the show. What a presence. And we paid her to do it. All right, let's get out of here. Thank you for listening. Don't forget five-star review. Oh, yeah, that's right. We're leaving. Yeah, we're going. It could win you a mug.

We adore you. Have a great week. Stay safe. Look after your mental health. Thank you for being here for me, Mitchell and Jenna and Sam. I love you all. Love you too, darling. Happy birthday, Sam.

Happy birthday, Sam. We'll see you next week, guys. Bye-bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief. This is our secret segment on the end.

We pretend we're done and we hope to God that no one actually hears this part. So if you've discovered the secret, keep it to yourself because we don't want this getting out there. This is our deep shame, this segment. This is when you clock off work on a Friday night and you only invite like the three work friends you have to go out and get drinks after. You don't invite everyone and you go, hey, it could be trash, but let's go get a couple of drinks.

Sometimes that's the best night of your life. Other times you don't want to remember it. Yeah, this section of the podcast is like your core friends where you are unguarded and you are comfortable being a fucking grot in front of them that's what we're doing right now ad debrief is the close friends of the podcasting world as in close friends on instagram picture a green ring floating around this audio as we speak i don't know though because I'm in a lot of people's close friends. Like I see people's close friends' stories and I'm like,

I wouldn't call you a close friend of mine. Why are you trusting me? Like I literally only have people who have basically, anyone who's stepped foot in my home, they're allowed to be on my close friends on Instagram. But, yeah, I'm in some people who were like media colleagues and I'm like, I don't fucking trust you. I'm not putting you in mine.

I agree. I also think seeing someone's close friend's story is a great way to tell what their insecurities are. Yeah. Because some people will just put up them rolling out dough to make cinnamon scrolls. They're like cinnamon scrolls. I'm like, this could have gone on the main. Like, why are you?

Yeah. What's exactly. Why are you hiding that? Yeah. I think it's very odd, but I very rarely use it. I've never used it. Really? No.

Yeah, I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm quite an unguarded gronk on my main story. I've got nothing to hide from you fuckers. Can you imagine how much effort it would be? You know those people that have a second Instagram account where they're like messy? I'm like, oh God, I can't imagine. Yeah, no, I couldn't do it. Oi, I just remembered something because we were talking about Instagram. Did I tell you guys?

I don't think I did. I got this message and I would love to know, in your opinion, how you feel that I should respond. Okay. Okay. Read it out. The message says, Hi, Mitchell.

I'd like to apologise for what I did to your friends at the 7-Eleven that night. It's something I will never forget and something I truly regret. I don't need to explain where I was at in my life at that time and I don't expect you to forgive me, but I have been wanting to say this for a few years. You deserve an apology for my behaviour. Whoa. Now, do you know the backstory to this? No, I don't know the backstory. Oh, it's a lot. You know, Jenna to this no i don't know the backstory oh it's a

lot yeah i don't know about this i knew jenna at the time but i don't think i'd even met you mitch and this is not something that i would tell a new friend don't even remember my life pre mitchell it's like pre-birth yeah what happened um so me and my friends we were leaving a house party and i was the designated driver yeah and we took my friend's car i didn't drink a thing because i was driving home i got in her car and i said um do you have p plates this is how long ago this was i'm now 25 i would have been like 20 you've had your full license for like four fucking years yeah for, for ages. And so I said, do you have pee plates? She said, no. And I said, well, I'm not driving home without them.

I want to do the right thing, obey the law. So we went to 7-Eleven to buy pee plates. Very, very courteous, yeah. Yes, very responsible. I stayed in the car. My friends went inside to buy the pee plates. As they came out of the 7-eleven i could hear shouting and so this woman had picked a fight with one of my friends and my friend which they shouldn't have done they

were arguing back right and i went full mitchell on my friend and i said get in the car shut your mouth stop egging them on like just be quiet yeah and so we're in we're in the car and this woman who picked a fight she speeds off and i was like okay thank god that's over And so we're in the car and this woman who picked a fight, she speeds off. And I was like, okay, thank God that's over. And then we're putting the pee plates on, getting ready to go home. And then the car she left in comes screaming back around the corner. Oh, no. Parks us in.

So they parked behind our car. So I can't reverse out. I'm now stuck. And she gets out of the car with this big burly boyfriend of hers and they smash the window, punch me in the face, grab the keys out of the ignition, throw them into a bush so we can't leave. And they're like attacking us at this point.

And I'm shouting to my friend in the passenger seat, can you call triple zero? but they've gone to pieces unlike me they don't cope well under pressure they're all crying and i was like can you get it together and call the fucking cops i'm being beaten by a junkie right now and anyway they went home eventually they pissed off after smashing all the windows the car was written off and i'm so sorry. That's so dramatic. You poor thing. I didn't know this. It wasn't.

It's not something I look back on as being traumatic. It was just more weird because I could tell as I was being bludgeoned that this chick was clearly, the chick and her boyfriend were clearly not sound of mind. Like they were under the influence of something. You know, something was going on. So where does the DM come into play? Well, five years later or whatever, she's messaged me and said, Oh, so it was the girl.

Yeah, it was the woman. The woman who picked a fight with my friend who kind of overreacted and then went home, got her fucking boyfriend and said, let's go bash these kids. Oh, my God. She's now reached out and said, I'm so sorry for that. I'd completely forgotten this happened. What do I even say to that?

Like, it's fine that you punched me in the face and, you know, I got glass in my throat. Like, you smashed the windscreen. It's weird. It's a weird scenario. Did you not try to contact the police or press any charges or go through insurance? Do you know what the funny thing is?

The police came and took our statements and one of them said to me, do you do YouTube? And I was like, yes. One of the funny thing is? The police came and took our statements and one of them said to me, do you do YouTube? And I was like, yes. One of the cops knew who I was. One of the cops knew who I was, but I didn't realise the woman knew who I was because she's now reached out to me and said, oh, I've wanted to apologise all this time. And I'm like, did you already follow me on Instagram?

That's why she punched you. Your content was terrible at that time. I would have punched you too, to be honest, if I didn't know you. Yeah didn't yeah but she's like i'm like did you already know who i was and you were comfortable with bashing me or did you discover me later on and think i remember punching that kid in the face like i just i i really want to know how she what her you know situation is her relationship to me how funny if she found you like six months after kept sharing all your posts being like this guy's funny he with me. Probably went to school with my kid. And then it just clicked one day when she had a Mitchell Coombs impression in her knuckles.

Oh, yeah. That's that poof that I bashed. That's awful. Well, you don't owe her anything. No. No, but I just really want to say to her, it's fine. I'm not holding it against you. But she did allude to the fact that she goes, I don't need to explain where i was at in my life

at that time and the cops later got back to us and said that within a 24 hour time period she also reported the big burly boyfriend that came and bashed us she reported him for like domestic violence so i'm like clearly clearly something was going on there there's a bigger picture situation happening here she was in a rough spot oh well clearly she was bashing some fucking twink in his little car i'm just trying to do the right thing put my p plates on you know what if you are okay with it it could be and you're happy to and you're at peace with what happened it could actually could give her a whole lot of closure if you're comfortable with messaging her that could put that whole period of her life to rest yeah i think that's a good idea i probably

will do that but i'm just like this is i never expected that i got that message and i was like what the fuck you know what just say hi darling leave us a five-star review you are void from winning a mug sadly for the bashing of my face however uh we're even now leave us a five-star review thanks can you picture this by the way as she she's literally beating me, I'm trying to use my words and just talk about it instead of resorting to violence. I was like, honey, calm down. Let's talk about this. And she's just like, fucking.

Like, just bashing away. Well, yeah, do what you want. If you're happy with it, yeah, I reckon give her some closure because it sounds like she was going through some shit, the poor thing. Well, yeah, it sounds like she could do with some closure because it sounds like she was going through some shit the poor thing which well yeah it sounds like she could do with some closure because she said i've been wanting to say this for a few years it's been ages and i was like she's still thinking about it because i thought that she was just ruthless like i'll bash these guys go about my life it's fine wow is she on

private have you had a little stalk is Is she doing well? She is private. And even though she's a private account, I can see that her Instagram bio is hashtag no underscore regrets in life. So she's clearly got one regret. Oh, yeah. Punching my fucking head in. Oh, God. What if her bio was hashtag one regret?

It's just one and that's it? Oh, thing mish that's traumatic fight or flight really kicks in in those moments doesn't it do you know what that was actually great because i've never been in a situation like that and i kept my cool yeah all my friends went to pieces albeit they were a bit drunk so they were fragile but they all went to pieces and i'm saying can someone call triple zero i'm being punched in the face here and they were just like they were just you know distraught and I'm like you're not even the one being bashed bitch so I like to think after the learning experience from this is that my fight or flight is I keep my cool I can handle myself if someone wants to attack me in the street bring it on yeah I think look I'm very good under pressure under actual real life stress duress.

I'm very good in fight or flight. However, my family, everyone in my family, absolutely horrific. We once woke up when I lived at home and all my sisters lived at home. The whole family were there in the Shire. We woke up and there was a man sleeping. We have like an outdoor cabana. You guys have never been to my family house, have you? We have like an outdoor entertaining cabana. Like it's been to my family house, have you? We have like an outdoor entertaining cabana.

Like it's an outside house. What, he was on your Porsche? He was sleeping on my Porsche. My $10 Porsche. Not the Porsche. And mum woke up to take Hamer, my little dog out for a wee, in a little dressing gown and a Peter Alexander slippers. And she sees this man asleep after it's been raining all night

on our outdoor lounge, freaks the fuck out, runs inside. We all lock the doors and mum is freaking. I wake up from the stress. My dad is out, away. My big sister Becky is freaking out. Oh, that sounds a bit sus. Sorry. Where's dad?

Pot twist. On a business trip with his personal assistant, no doubt. No, it was dad. That dad? Pot twist. On a business trip with his personal assistant, no doubt. No, it was dad. That's the pot twist. No, it was a homeless man who apparently needed shelter in the rain and just slept there. So Becky called the police. It was his whole thing.

And I'm like, just go out and shoo him. It will be fine. So I actually went out. I was like, excuse me. Can you explain to me what that would look like, shooing? I did. Shoo. I went out and shooed him.

So I opened the door and I went, excuse me. Like with a moth. Mate. Mate. Excuse me, mate. And then he woke up and he was terrified. He was more scared than we were. And oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. I need to sleep. And then like hobbled out and ran up the side gate and was gone. I'm like, there you go, guys. Easy fix. I can't believe that you stepped up. Like you hate confrontation. Yeah, but in those moments, that's what I mean. In those moments, I was like,

nah, we've got to solve. And I was like the man of the house. So I turned off RuPaul's Drag Race and I did it. Have I told you the story about how we got robbed? No. Oh my god, this story is so bad. We pay my mum out all the time. So mum had had a couple of wines.

The Sharkies, football's a massive part of my family. My dad was an ex-Sharkies player. That's where my mum and he sort of met. And mum was at the Sharkies game. And I was at home, hate the football, with my little sister. So we're sitting home watching the game. It's on TV. It's like a kilometre away.

So the game ends and everyone sort of, because our street is so close, all the people in the auditorium walk down our street back to their cars because that's where they all park. So then we get the doorbell opens and it's mum. We open the door and go, hi, mum. She goes, hi, guys. Clearly had a couple of Vino's. Hi.

Oh, I made some friends at the game. Oh, no. And we go, oh. Oh, who? Hi. These two blokes. Oh, they're fucking shark fans. Obviously they pose a risk.

Anyway, I go, oh, instantly go, I don't like this. these two blokes they're fucking shark fans obviously they pose a risk anyway i go oh instantly go i don't like this i go oh okay um mom goes to come in for a drink on the balcony plays with the dog like i'm gonna get you boys a beer come on in these two men super sus i instantly get a bad feeling in my stomach i go this is weird they wander around the house i go can i use the bathroom i go go, yeah, it's downstairs. So one goes downstairs. One's looking into the kitchen. And I'm like, oh, no, this is bad.

I'm like, mum, these guys need to get you. They're fine. They walked back. They're just kind of in their car. I'm like, no, this is not good. So I go, gentlemen, we actually have to go. We have people coming over. You have to get out.

I'm like, no, I've got a bad feeling. I've got a bad feeling. They're like, oh, mate, don't be a party pooper. Me and your mum are having fun. I'm like, you don't know her a bad feeling. I've got a bad feeling. Like, oh, mate, don't be a party pooper. Me and your mum are having fun. I'm like, you don't know her. Get out of the house. So I kicked them out of the house. Isn't it kind of sweet, though, that your mum just, like,

saw the best in them? She was just like, I've made friends. Like, that's so lovely. It was so endearing. That is my mum. Like, to a T. You've seen her on Insta Live. She's like, hi, Fluffy underscore cat legs.

Hi, Callum. How are you? How are your hemorrhoids? She's like, I'd go to war for you, Fluffy. I've got no idea who you are. I know. My mum is such an empath. She's so empathetic and sympathetic.

She's beautiful. Anyway, that night we are robbed. What? Oh, no. No, no, no, no. By two men. No. They break in the bathroom window, which is where one of them conveniently went.

Yeah. So I didn't see it. Becky, my older sister, the bathroom window is next to her bedroom. She woke up to two men at the window. That's scary. It was them. She saw them and freaked the fuck out. She's a cop herself.

She could have just drawn her gun on those dogs. No, this was pre-cop. They think she was still at cop school wanting to be a beautician she hadn't made up her mind and and this is a true story they had pulled the fly screen off and his leg was in in the door he was climbing in and she freaked the fuck out kicked him out and then i still pay mom out to this day and she she doesn't she denies it she denies that she had any part in us getting robbed. She's like, they were nice. Yeah, yeah, 100%.

It's actually hilarious. It's like, mum, no, we're going to get robbed again. Do you know what? My parents warned me about robbers when I first moved to Sydney. Like they pulled me aside and gave me a stern talking to because when mum and dad lived in Sydney, they had three separate apartments as a couple like both of them living together and all three of them were broken into and specifically

stole the tv and mum's good curtains oh no not the curtains what a niche you just steal i know but i don't know if it's a coincidence but but she's like, me fucking curtains keep being flogged. And so they really painted a picture that made me think that robbers were going to be a much bigger deal in my life. I feel like I'm inviting them in now, but I've never been robbed. No, I've not been robbed. I know where you live, Mitch, and I know where you live, Jenna, and where I live. The three of us can't really be robbed.

We're kind of like in complexes. I think if anyone's going to get robbed, it's me. I'm like street level. I think if anyone's going to get robbed, it's me. I'm like street level. I'm probably at higher risk. Once I'm allowed in Jenna's singles bubble, who knows what could go missing. Things are going to start going missing. She's like, where's my fucking cat? Where's Connie?

Alright, we need to go, guys. Great episode. Great show. I loved it. You was fun. You too. What a good show. And from home too, Mitchell, the vibe, that's how you know you're onto something good, you know, when you've got someone from home, but it still works. Exactly. I know, I actually forgot.

It doesn't feel like we're in different locations. It feels like we're in the same room. It does, actually. Thanks, Tim. Also, did you guys see my new microphone? I spoke about it a couple of times. I love it. Mitchell, I went on Instagram Live the other night

and I wanted people to vote for names. Let's decide now. These are the options. Oh, you're naming the microphone? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. Yeah, because it's purple. It's bright purple at the bottom and then it fades up to pink.

So the options are the eggplant, Mike. No. It looks like an eggplant, like an eggplant emoji. Okay. I need something cuter. No, but you can't have V and Mike in the name. Like, you've just got to give it a standalone name, like Trixie. Oh, that's nice.

Like Shirley. What about Grimace? It's prettier than that. You know what it reminds me of? Yeah. I used to have a My Little Pony with those same colours, like a pink and purple hue, and it was called Twinkle Sparkle. I think I had Twinkle Sparkle too.

Yeah, the Twinkle Sparkle My Little Pony. I'll update you later. We don't have a name. Twinkle Sparkle. No, I don't like Twinkle. I'm not fucking calling my microphone Twinkle Sparkle. Is that too gay for you, bro? I don't mind Trixie, but let's sit on it.

No rush. The mic will stay. What about Joanne? No. I don't mind Trixie, but let's sit on it. No rush. The mic will stay. What about Joanne? No. I like Joanne. Let's just give it a really mundane housewife name, like Trudy. Okay, no, I like M for microphone. What about Marajam?

Or Marjorie? Where did that come from? Oh, no! Miriam! Miriam! Miriam the mic. Bev. Julie. Look, we have to sit on it. I've got to do a radio show and I'm getting messages from Matt Pether. I shan't be sitting on that mic, thank you. No, I'm sure you could if you tried.

It does look like a dildo. Yes, it does. Oh, it does. Denise the dildo mic. Denise. Debbie. Delene. Delene.
