People do some weird shit. Television legend Kerri-Ann Kennelly fell several metres from a trapeze while performing in the musical Pippet. Bye, bitch. 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 Chooley and Mitchell Coop. Oh, for 87, we're back here in heaven. Hi, honeys, we're back. Did you miss us after two weeks off? Have you been busy during the break?

I've had the busiest two weeks of my fucking life. Me too, actually. I didn't feel rested at all. No, I don't feel rested. If anything, I feel more stressed than I did before the break started. I don't know if I was busy or if my threshold for what busyness is has just lowered a lot. I used to be able to do so many things in a day, but now I'm like, I've got a letter to post.

I can't take anything else on. Yeah, lockdown's done that. I make two pieces of toast and I'm ready for bed again. Yeah, same. Isn't that weird? Yeah, I think lockdown has done that to us. We got used to doing everything from home. Now we have to go outside and face the sun.

But hey, we're not in lockdown anymore, Sydney. We're ready. What did you do to your first freedom weekend? I went to Broadway and had a burrito. Broadway's a shopping centre. Is that all? Sorry. Yeah, had a burrito and then I went to Kmart and the body shop to get a loafer.

How exciting. Yeah, it was really fun. I did way too much. Way too much. What did you do? I just went out every night and every lunch. I had pub lunches, a lot of drinking. I'm still feeling it. It was too much. Way too much. What did you do? I just went out every night and every lunch. I had pub lunches, a lot of drinking. I'm still feeling it.

It was too much. I went too hard too soon. I forgot how to socialise. Yeah, same. Like, there's been too many people, too many awkward conversations. I saw it on your Insta story. What did you say? Too many people saying, it's been too long.

Yeah, that's what everyone says. Oh, it's been too long. Mine is, oh, there you are. That's mine. As if I found them after been too long. Mine is, oh, there you are. That's mine. As if I found them after they've been hiding out. Look who's there. Prizekeeper Jen is here as well. Look.

Jennifer. As per usual. It's been so long. What did you do the first weekend of freedom in Sydney? I went to a cafe. Why are you laughing? Yeah, that's very normal. I didn't really go out.

Because she burned it down. Yeah, it was across the road from my house. Oh, right. It does feel good to be back, though. I did miss the podcast. It's not like such a weekly event in my mind and the Sunday night lives. We didn't get to do them. So it's good to be back in the swing of things.

100%. And we're bringing back an OG segment today, can I just say. Since we're out of lockdown, it is no longer insensitive to do, one of my favourites, coughing fit chicken. Of course, it's one of your favourites. If you haven't heard it before, it was on the very first, was it the first episode or the first couple of episodes? It was one of our inaugural segments, you could say, where you just call someone, have

a coughing fit, see how long it takes them to hang up. We had to rest it because it seemed a bit insensitive during COVID times, but we're fucking free, baby. We're coughing our lungs up again. I'm coughing my lungs up again. You guys just get to sit there and enjoy. Yeah. It'll be interesting to see if you're physically fit enough to do it

because part of the reason that we also rested that segment was because you kept getting really dizzy afterwards and you didn't have the stance. Oh, I can't say this word. Stamina. Stamina. There you go. No, you got it the first time. Stamina. Yeah, there we go. Stamina. I have the stamina. Oh, I can't say this word. What the? Stamina. Stamina. There you go. No, you've got it the first time.

Stamina. Stamina. Yeah, there we go. I have the stamina. Last time I went, what was the record? It was three and a half minutes? I think that is the record, Ben Fordham. The very first one.

Episode one. You've got to scroll back if you haven't heard it. If you haven't heard Coffing Fit Chicken, go back and listen to the original because we're going to do that at the end of the show. But we also have a very special guest on today's show. My word, don't we? Yeah. We all know this guy.

Hello, everyone. More fizzy drink for me today. The fizzy drink guy from TikTok, Rohit Roy. Rohit. He's joining us on the show. What an icon. Hello, everyone. Hello.

More fizzy drink for me today. Yeah. He really made a lot of people smile when he was going through his I quit fizzy drink journey. Every day on TikTok, he had a little update. But do you remember we were talking about him recently? Yeah. So we're kind of getting him on because we've got a bone to pick with him.

Yeah. So with that iconic intro. Hello, everyone. No fizzy drink for me today. Do you remember recently I had an observation about that? Yeah. But I've just noticed that he's changed his inflection. It used to be no fizzy drink for me today, but now it's...

Hello, everyone. No fizzy drink for me today, but now it's... Hello, everyone. No fizzy drink for me today. Why does he have a stroke after saying the word fizzy? Oh, yeah, no fizzy drink for me today? No fizzy drink for me today. Hayden, do you want to get it on? I've got a stiffy. Yeah.

So, yep, we're going to go straight to the source. I'm glad we played it to me. And settle the issue that's been concerning the nation. We only tackle hard-hitting shit on this show. He seems so sweet. He actually seems like the loveliest guy. He does. He might not even know he's doing it.

You think? Possibly. It feels intentional. It feels like a big wig manager has gone, Roe hit, you need to say it like this. Yeah. I just picture there's a reason. There's definitely a reason

There's gotta be a reason Anyway You'd be like What do you mean? I'm not pausing anymore What do you mean? Anyway If this is your first time listening

What a stupid episode to start on Why do you say that? Because 87 And we've already got all this It's like starting Friends On season 9 And going Why is there tension

With Ross and Rachel? Watch the others And then you'll understand I don't know if I'd liken our show to Friends. We haven't had quite the same success. We've got three seasons. Okay, what show has three seasons? Offspring.

Offspring had seven, Darlene. Fuck, did it? I can't think of a show that has three seasons. I can Google it. No, no, we don't. Yeah, make yourself useful. Yeah, I can Google it. Do we need an answer? Yeah, we do. Didn't season three of You just come out on Netflix?

Oh, yeah. Season three of Succession just premiered. I can't think of any others. Stan, I'm loving you. Are you watching you? I haven't started yet. Have you seen the other two seasons, though? Yes, I have. Yeah, it's very good. Why do I want to fuck that serial killer? Everyone wants to fuck him. What is it about his charm? She's the crazier one, though, this season.

Love, the wife. I forgot she had that shocking name. Yeah, and she's also a serial killer as well. What a plot twist. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I forgot that that was the plot twist. Yeah, I'm going to have to start watching that again. Anyway, Jenny, you're taking your fucking time.

We might just move on. The newsroom? No, I've never seen it. Freaks and Geeks. Oh, yeah, cult. Okay, hang on. These are shows that stopped after three seasons. We're three and counting. Oh, yeah, cult. Okay, hang on. These are shows that stopped after three seasons. We're three and counting.

Yes, almost into four. We're up there with the offsprings of the world. The point that I was trying to make, if it is your first time listening, we start the show the same way every week with two. Is it just me? Something we've noticed? Something we hate or appreciate? I bring one.

Mitch brings another. They serve as the basis of the show. Do you want to go first or should I? Maybe I should. Oh, you seem to have made up your mind, so go on. Do you mind if I do as the basis of the show. Do you want to go first or should I? Maybe I should. Oh, you seem to have made up your mind, so go on. Do you mind if I do? No, of course not. Go on.

Can I just say my notes app, my notes app in my phone, filled to the brim with idjams. Oh, where you write down, oh, I've got an is it just me for the show. It's full, is it? Yep, I've got heaps. All right, well, pick the best one. Go. Let's do it.

Is it just me or... Do you love it when Australia gets mentioned in international shows? It's like a little gift. Like, what's an example? You'll be watching The Morning Show or Morning Wars, whatever region you're in, and they're like, yeah, well, we need to get back because Bradley's got an interview with Australia, COVID's hit.

I'm like, maybe it's Koshi. Maybe it's Kyle and Jackie. Yeah, we know them. I feel that. Even though it's a completely fictional world. Yes. It's so exciting. You know that other countries are aware of us, right?

I know. It's not some grand surprise, oh, they've heard of Australia. No, but the biggest one is if they mention Sydney. Oh, yeah. That's rare. Huge. Is it the same sort of thrill that I get when I hear my suburb on the news? Like, oh, someone was stabbed at my local IGA.

Yes, that's it. Okay, I'm with you. That's it. And you see, like, your primary school on the news or something, and you're like, oh, that's my territory. Yes. Absolutely. Okay, I get you.

That's it. Even to a lesser degree when you're going through Coles and the checkout chick or guy has the same name as you. That's cold. No. I'm not sure about that. Hi, Mitch. Great names.

With no context that my name is like I'm not wearing a badge as well. I never set it up. I'm like, yep, here's my debit card. Read it. Have a read. You'll be shocked. I said pick the best, didn't you? Trust me, that was i said pick the best did you trust me that was that was the best yeah put it all on the junk channel oh the junk will be full don't you worry we'll do that in a couple weeks all right that's me

all right should we do my it's just me yeah let's go is it just me Just me or... Do you not understand what 3D printers are? How they work? I don't get it at all. No, I think I went through a phase where I was going to buy one. I had one in my cart for many days. What for? I wanted to print things. You can print many things.

But, like, how does it work? Like, I know it prints stuff and all that. Yeah. But how? I just keep seeing, like, TikTok and stuff being like, I 3D printed my own violin. I'm like, what do you mean? Like, how?

Can you 3D photocopy? I don't get it. No, no. So 3D print is essentially you can design the artwork, like you design the file. Say you want to make, like, I don't know, a little mini house. You design it in three dimensions, like you've got the program to do it, and then you input it into this 3D printer,

which has a computer built into it, and then literally like printers have inks. It has like a well. It's like a spool, like, printers have inks. It has, like, a well. It's like a spool, like a little ring of wire that is plastic, and it gets fed in, and then it melts it and, like, draws it. I still don't get it at all. You've lost me. No, it draws it from top.

So it starts on the bottom, draws a square if it's a house, and then keeps going on top of it until it builds. But what about how some people are making guns and stuff? How do they actually make these things? Well, that's the thing. One of our darling listeners, Josh, made the three of us a little is-it-just-me lamp each. And I messaged him saying, that's stunning.

What do you mean you made it? How did you do that? He goes, I printed them. I was like, how do you print a lamp? What are you on about? It makes no sense to me. It's the same level of frustration I get when people say things like, you can't just print more money.

Why not? Why can't you just print more money? If we're all fucking poor, print more money. No, you can't print more money. Why not? Because inflation, because then you lose its value. Because the value of money is based on how much there is. Like if there was one of something in the world, highly valuable. But if

there's a billion of it, not valuable. I still don't get it. Why can't everyone just get something? Yeah, why don't we all just mutually agree to not inflate? We'll all just print off a few hundreds each. Tough times during COVID and we won't fuck with the, I don't know, inflation or

whatever. Also, another thing that I find highly confusing, speaking of money, how are we in $281 trillion of global debt? Who do we owe? We're the globe. Yeah. We're the world.

Yeah, true. Who do we owe? Yeah, who's sitting there at a desk going, pay up. Exactly. I thought you were going to say, who do we owe that to? Not this podcast. We're very rich. Jenna, can you Google any of these

things? I'm very curious. The inflation thing, because in Germany, when World War I hit, they tried to go, well, let's just print more money. And then it didn't work. So then the money lost all value and they started using it as toilet paper. That makes no sense to me. Why can't they all just be like, sweet, more money?

No, because it loses its value. No, it doesn't. That's all true story. Why can't they all just be like, sweet, more money? No, because it loses its value. No, it doesn't. That's all I know. No, it doesn't. Here's a question from Clementine, age 12 in London. She asks, why don't poorer countries just print more money? Good question. Brilliant, thanks, Clementine.

Thanks for the question. When a whole country tries to get richer by printing more money, it rarely works because if everyone has more money, prices go up instead and people find they need more and more money to buy. Why do prices go up? Does everyone agree that it'll leave them the same? Well, this happened recently in Zimbabwe and they printed more money to try to make their economies grow.

This is very confusing. Yeah. You don't say, Jenna. But the price of things does go up. That makes sense because if everyone just gets more money, then you can buy whatever you want and then the economy will crash. No, it won't. It'll be thriving if more people are buying shit.

I don't get it, I'm telling you. It's fucked with me for years. It is confusing. To get richer, a country has to make and sell more things, whether goods or services. This makes it safe to print more money so that people can buy those extra things. I think the crux of all this is we don't need to care. We are very rich from this podcast.

Oh, I know. I don't need any more money printed. That's not the problem. I've got so much, but I just don't get why we can't. Like they always say, oh, no, you can't print more money. It's the same mind fuck that I get. Do you remember when you were in school and you'd be doing scripture class? Yes.

And they'd be like, oh, well, if God is Jesus' dad, then who's God's parents? Oh, no, God's just always been there. Yeah. I get that feeling where it's like, da-da-da-da, like X-Files music and my eyes are glazed over. I'd be like, how is that possible? And like, don't question it.

You know, yeah, yeah. No, I feel you. This happened to me the other day. We're all related. Because think about it. If there. You know, yeah, yeah. No, I feel you. This happened to me the other day. We're all related. Because think about it. If there was only two people to start this whole thing, then they have kids and we're all each other's kids. I hate it. We're all literally

cousins. Nothing makes sense. Yeah! Is it just me? Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app so you don't miss a second of this bullshit. Hey, if you're in Sydney, by the way, guess what, everyone? This goes for you too, Mitch and Jenna. My live shows that were cancelled because of lockdown

have been rescheduled until December. So if you're in Sydney and you want to come hang out, see me live show,head to my Instagram buy to buy yourself a ticket. They're happening mid-December. What's it called? Is there a name for the show? It's called Mitchell Coombs Live.

Can you stand it? Oh, my God. I'm so excited. Are you going to have big neon letters like M-I-M-C or Coombsy? I'm actually not that prepared. I don't even know. Have you written your material? Some of it, yeah,

but I have to go through the culling and all that. Oh. Oh, I'm so excited. Are you going to road test it, go out to some clubs and do some testing? You could do that on the show, actually, bring us some jokes. You could. No. No?

I don't want to test material. Oh, we're very funny people. What I do is if I write a joke for the show and I think that's no good, I bring it to the podcast. Oh, yeah. This is the off cut. I get it. I'm going to be way funnier on stage, guys.

Every week.

Yes, correct. Fabulous. It is your time. That is not an invitation to stop leaving reviews, by the way, bastards. Keep leaving reviews on Apple Podcasts.

Exactly right. Leave us a review and please, for the love of God, DM us with an Is It Just You? If you're out at the shop and you think of it, send us a voice message so we can play it on the show. Don't make it stupid or I'll lash out. It's happened before. Has it ever? Oh, God. Like Harry Potter, I can feel the scar burn. Jasmine

Schwartz, guys, is our very first is just you let's roll the audio hey guys welcome back to our ears love the show is it just me or do people who own small snappy dogs seem to have the same small snappy dog personality traits that's a good one i completely agree i'm trying to think of someone that owns a small snappy dog i can't no one springs to mind actually just thought of someone yeah she's right really yeah do we know them no i'm not saying you guys wouldn't know them but yeah i'm with you okay jasmine i agree oh interesting well that's like an old saying my mom and my nan used to say is that um you'd start to look like your pet like owners yeah owners start to look like your pet. Look like? Yeah, owners start to look like and act like your pet.

My cat's black. So I would get cancelled if I started to look like my cat. Your cat is also a bitch. Oh, so personality as well. Oh, God, yes. It takes on your personality. Okay, well, I don't look like my cat, but we are both frosty as fuck. But then a switch flicks in our brain and we become

very needy and want attention. Shit! You tend to scratch me every time I walk in a room. She doesn't scratch. Not anymore. That's me, sorry. Look at Jenna. She's just like her dog. Her greyhound. Floats into a room, head down. Tail between its legs.

Retired. No real skills to demonstrate anymore. Yeah, that's it. I am my greyhound. Yeah, and my dog is a Cavoodle, which is full of energy. Absolutely stupid. Adorable. People love it.

And terrible shit. I just poo all the time, and it's never firm. Anyway, a bit too much information. So, yes, it is not just you. I completely agree. Never thought about it. I'm going to be looking out watching people take their dogs for a walk now. Oh God, yeah, you'll see it. Thank you, Jasmine. Appreciate it. And is it just you for the week?

If you've got one, hit us up. A couple of Mitch's on Instagram. You can DM us, get in touch with us and we'll play it on the show. Because we're fucking sick of doing all the work around here. You bring something to us. That's right. Mitch and I said during the break, you know what, how can we make it easier for us and harder for the listeners? So that's what we've done.

All right. Should we get the fizzy drink guy on? Yes, of course. Row Hit Roy, let's do it. Dad, can I get a pizza, please? Hello, everyone. More fizzy drink for me today. Row Hit Roy is here.

Yay! You're looking very slim. You've been doing the whole no fizzy drink thing for over a year now, right? Congrats on that milestone. Yeah, thank you. Thank you for having me, first of all. Yeah, this journey has been going for more than a year now. Yeah, wow.

What made you stop in the first place? My addiction. I was addicted highly and then I was not like sick, but I thought of future and I thought if I don't stop, then it might be consequences, negative consequences. And then I thought I have to do something seriously. I have been trying to get rid of my addiction for long, but it didn't happen until I started posting my videos on TikTok and other socials. When you say addiction, how many fizzy drinks a day were we talking?

My addiction went for 30, 35 years. I started having fizzy drinks at a very young age of five or six. And then I used to have four or five cans minimum every day. Wow. What was your kryptonite? Were you full sugar, Fanta, Coke? What was it? Always full sugar.

Full sugar. Full sugar fizzy drink. Because I was highly addicted, i can feel the taste difference from drinking from a can or glass bottle or anything else but yeah i do believe that glass bottle tastes a bit better than cans yeah i mean you've been telling us every day for over a year no fizzy drink for me today and i want to ask how how strict is the no fizzy drink rule? Because like my new obsession is sparkling water. I don't remember the last time I had still water I hit. So like, are you allowed sparkling water? Surely that's kind of healthy. No, no, no. Fizzy means fizzy. So no fizzy means

no fizzy whatsoever. Blanket rule. So obviously sparkling water is fizzy as well. So when I say no fizzy means absolutely no fizzy. Oh my God. Well, not to rub it in, but I'm going to have a sip. It's bloody beautiful. Yeah, with a bit of lime in there. No fizzy drink. What about if you leave like a Big M or a chocolate move out in the sun? They can get a bit fizzy after a while. Like because I was addicted to fizzy drinks,

I was never fond of milk or milk products or something. Obviously, the main drink which I have is water now. But, yeah, in terms of fizzy drinks, no fizzy drinks whatsoever. Oh, well, here's to Ro. That's a good achievement. That's amazing. And especially identifying an addiction and then killing it. Very hard thing to do.

Yeah, that actually is very impressive. It would have helped having the accountability of TikTok, right? Do people recognise you, say, oh, you're the fizzy drink guy? Yeah, they do, actually. Like, obviously, because of COVID lockdown and mask wearing, it's less now. But obviously when we were open a bit more and when I used to go to Kohl's or some other place, people used to drink. Not all the time, but yeah, sometimes. Very modest.

A modest king. Now we need to get down to brass tacks, Mitchell, because there's a real reason Rohit is here. Oh, yeah. I just noticed that the inflection when you say no fizzy drink for me today has changed a bit. It used to just be, hello, everyone, no fizzy drink for me today has changed a bit. It used to just be hello everyone, no fizzy drink for me today. But I feel like there's a pause after the word fizzy now that you say, hello everyone, no fizzy drink for me today. Is that on purpose? Has someone told you to speak slowly or something? No, it's just natural. I don't know when it changed. And obviously, if you say something for the whole year, it might change because one year is a long

period anyway. And I do believe that when I saw comments, people did say to for the whole year, it might change because one year is a long period anyway. And I do believe that when I saw comments, people did say to me that, why do you take the gap or pause in the middle? And all I say is it's just natural. There's nothing makeup or something. Well, good to know there's no conspiracy theory behind the rhythm because we thought maybe you were leaving time for, you know, who knows what in between that. I thought maybe some PR person had got in your ear and said, you've got to pace yourself differently. You've got to pronounce it differently. But good to know it's just natural.

Well, you don't have all that sugar cursing through your veins, so you're not sitting there going, no fizzy drink for me today. Yeah, he's in no rush to get the sentence out. He can breathe because you know what? No fizzy drink for me today. Yeah, and you're right. I used to be very fast in doing everything before and very hurry, hurry, hurry everywhere. That might be because of sugar.

That might be because of addiction, but I have slowed down a bit. Yeah, what does it feel like? Do you just feel a bit less erratic? Are you just more calm? See, in terms of health, obviously I have lost a lot of weight and everything, but the main difference I found in the beginning,

especially, is the sleep. I couldn't sleep much in in the night and that might be the effect of sugar or or soda or anything or the caffeine yeah exactly caffeine soda sugar whatever but my sleep has increased significantly that's one important part for me amazing i reckon your wee too roe it would be crystal clear because i drink one can of coke and I'm like, have I got a burst bladder? I feel like it's bright orange. But your wee would be like bloody, it'd be crystal clear. Yeah, I didn't notice anything there, to be honest. Normally when I shake, it becomes white.

But normally it's yellowish. Yellow, yeah. I don't know how you didn't notice. I embarrassingly pay a lot of attention to the colour. Same. I'm like, oh, it's not yellow today. Same, same. I know I've had a good day.

I'll sleep well when I'm winging a Mount Franklin out. Well, there's Rohit Roy. What are your socials, Rohit? Give him a plug. So I am on TikTok where I post the most videos and then I post the same video on Instagram and YouTube and everywhere my handle is same, Rohit Roy, G-R-E. So it's my name and the G-R-E in the end.

Love it. Great. Fabulous. Now, before we let you go, I want to ask you the same question I ask every single guest we have on. We want you to contribute to our list of things better than drugs and dick. Correct.

So it's basically just a little PSA to appreciate the small things in life. Don't obsess over parties. Don't obsess over boys. So what's something better than drugs and dick in your mind? Yeah, something, I don't know whether it's a thing or not, but something which I really appreciate

is meditation. I do a lot of meditation and it calms my mind, reduce my anxiety because, you know, when we have too much work, we get anxious and then when we have less work,

we get anxious again. So that's why I think meditation is that little thing which helps me. Oh, I thought you said medication. And I thought, no, Rohit, that is drugs. No, no, medication. Oh, no, we missed the point. What do you actually do when it comes to meditation?

Because I find it a bit tricky. I'm just so, I find it such an effort to really switch off. What do you actually do? And how long in a day does it take for your meditation? Give us a little meditation course. I can play music. Tell us what you do. See, there are a couple of things which are really important.

Now, first of all, meditation requires regularity. Like we bath every day, we shower every day, we brush every day. So meditation is similar. You can't just do it one day and get the benefits. So you have to do it regularly. Now, the normal process of meditation, which you might know, is just sit down and focus on your breathing and those sort of things yeah do that so you can even focus on something else like a watch or a telephone or a tv or something but one thing which i tell everyone and that's really really important is if you do something

with full 100 concentration it becomes a meditation so you don't need to sit and do a meditation. Say, for example, you are listening to music or even eating or even watching a TV, forget everything, just focus 100% of that. That still becomes a meditation because the main aim of meditation is to focus at one place 100%. That's interesting. It's like even if you're having a shower, you don't think about anything else, just the warmth of the water. So that's technically meditation, right? Yeah, like when I used to eat before, I used to listen to my mobile, watch news and watch TV.

Leave all that. Just focus on eating. One thing at a time. Whenever you take, yeah, like whenever you take a spoon, put it in your mouth, feel that taste, feel that next step when you take again. Those sort of focus. If you do that, that simply becomes a meditation

and you don't need to sit separately to do a meditation. i love it wow from fizzy drink to life mantras i'm that rohit you're my man no and that's what buddha has said now obviously it's not me it's just the basics of meditation yeah if you focus on one thing which stops you to wander your mind from one place to the other that becomes meditation well. Sorry, Rohit, I missed that. I was staring at the wall. I was focusing on that. No, I'm joking, of course. Well, look, it was a pleasure.

Great to meet you. And at the bottom of all our theories, thank you for coming on the show. Yeah, great to chat. Thank you. Thank you for having me. Thanks, Rohit. Thanks, Rohit. We'll talk soon, mate.

See you, buddy. Goodbye. Goodbye. What a treat. He was actually great. I honestly thought when we said, name something better than drugs and dick, you went medication. I love codeine.

I love Xanax. Oh, paracetamol. Did anyone else hear that? How good's a Dexy? I seriously heard medication too. And I was like, how do I respond to that? I didn't want to call him out. I can't believe we haven't had a fizzy drink in that long.

Yeah. I know. And this segment was brought to you by the new Coke No Sugar. Available now. I wanted to bring it up. You're listening to Is It Just Me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Do you know what I just thought of during that?

With my whole obsession with sparkling water. Yeah. The 3D printer thing we were talking about before. Do you have to go out and much like I have to buy new canisters for the SodaStream from 7-Eleven, do you have to go out and buy new plastic to melt, to refill the printer? Instead of an ink cartridge, you get a plastic

cartridge. You would, yeah. That sounds expensive. Fuck 3D printers. And it's a lot of effort. They're not popular. You can't just go to Officeworks and go, give me the Canon tool. See what I mean? Too hard. I agree. Wasn't he sweet?

What a nice guy. He was so nice. Such a sweetie. Go give him a follow. Support him. Absolutely. But right now, let's bring back Coughing Fit Chicken, the long awaited return. Yay!

And now, it's time for another round of Coughing Fit Chicken. Oh, God. It's not a hard concept. On paper, it sounds really stupid. Mitch just calls someone, breaks out into a coughing fit, and then we see how long it takes him to hang up after all the awkwardness. Current record, three and a half-ish minutes

with Ben Fordham, 2GB radio presenter, TV personality. From episode one of this podcast. Oh, my God, 86 episodes ago we had him on. Yep, this segment, Coughing Fit Chicken, it was like an early day thing. personality from episode one of this podcast oh my god 86 episodes ago we had him on yep this segment coughing fit chicken um it was like an early day thing we had to rest it for a while because we thought it was insensitive during covid and i was dying yes because it's like you can't do coughing fit chicken with a mask on it's not the same but now that sydney's out of lockdown coughing fit chicken is back baby there's no there's no eggshells to walk on it's not insensitive

anymore so who are we gonna call well that's the thing so we normally just go through my little Now, Colving Fit Chicken is back, baby. There's no eggshells to walk on. It's not insensitive anymore. So who are we going to call? Yay! Well, that's the thing. So we normally just go through my little black book. Should we do the same? Sure. I don't mind spoiling your relationships with your celebs.

Well, there's, yeah. So I've got my contacts in my phone. It's quite full of celebs. Because when I interview them, it's normally on the phone, right? So you get sent their mobile number and you just call them. I tend to save them. And then they probably expect to never hear from you again. Yeah, I doubt they did the same and saved Mitch Cherry on the other end.

Who have we done so far? We've done Ben Fordham, Cheryl and Barnes, a random library in WA. I think that might be it, actually. I think we've only done three. We called it quits. Who do I have? Scrolling through now. Someone who we have toyed with a million times who is in your contacts for some reason is Ida Buttrose.

I would love to do that. Can we do Ida? No, I don't want to do Ida Buttrose. Still not game. I've got her mobile and home phone number, but I just couldn't do it to her. It's so funny if you called her home phone. Oh, please. Brooke Blurton, The Bachelorette.

What? Brooke Blurton, The Bachelorette. Why are you saying it like that? Because it's so funny to say. Brooke Blurton. I thought you were burping. Sounds like a cough. No. Brooke Blurton. The Bratwurst. Why are you saying it like that? Because it's so funny to say. Brooke Blurton. I thought you were burping. Sounds like a cough. No.

Brooke Blurton. Well, she could be funny, actually. Brooke Blurton. No, she's busy because the show premiered this week, so she's got a lot on. I don't want to do her. Who else? Who do we have? I've got Erin Moland.

Oh. Fabulous. What about Nicole Kidman's PR manager? I think she'd know how to navigate that situation. She's a PR manager. Oh, what about Kathy Freeman? Why do you have Kathy Freeman's number? I don't know. I've got Kathy Freeman home and mobile and it says Kathy Freeman Olympian.

What the fuck? Why do you have Kathy Freeman's number? How? We're close friends. She teaches me track. Yeah, you've got to fucking call her Cathy Freeman. No, I'm going to have to call her, see if the phone even connects, because it might not.

I've never, I don't even know how I have it. I'm going to call her. Oh, my God. She's probably cooking dinner. I thought that was it. I'm just polishing a medal. You have reached... Jesus.

You have reached... Tim Dormer from Big Brother. Mel Gregg, the disgraced radio host. I feel that prank calls are a soft spot for Mel Gregg, so let's not go there. Oh, yeah, of course. Oh, yeah, that's a bright idea. Oh, what about Nazeem Hussain?

Oh, yeah, I love him. Okay, so he's someone whose reaction would be kind of funny. He's a comedian. He's a comedian, television presenter, award-winning comedian, actually. He's very funny. Where would people know him from? I'm a celebrity. I'm a celebrity.

I'm somebody getting out of here. Oh, that's right. He was in the jungle. Also, Mitch, when we saw the Masked Singer, he was a guest judge. Remember we went to the taping? He was up there. Oh, yeah, they used to have like a random fifth panelist and Nazeem was there. Yeah, he's very funny. Why the fuck panelist and Nazeem was there. Yeah.

He's very funny. Why the fuck do you have Nazeem Hussain's number? Oh, he's been on my radio show a couple of times. Right. Yeah. So would he know you? Yeah, he'd know me. Yeah.

Oh, that's not the worst thing. But he might not have my number saved. That's the thing. So I doubt he'd have my number saved, to be honest. But we have messaged. Let's do Nazeem. Let's do Nazeem. Well, if he doesn't answer, it's Ida Buttrose, all right?

No, you have to promise. Praying to the comedian gods. Please answer your phone, Nazeem. All, if he doesn't answer, it's Ida Buttrose, all right? No, you have to promise. Praying to the comedian gods. Please answer your phone, Nazeem. All right, let me patch it through. Hold on. Shit. Kathy Freeman just texted me. Fuck off.

All right, let's dial in Nazeem now. Here we go. Hello? Hey, Nazeem. Yeah, who's this? Hey, it's Mitch Turi from KISS. How are you, man? Hey!

Oh, Mitch, how's it going? My bad. Where are you? It sounds like you're on a highway. No, man, I'm going to one of those Apple Watch competitions again. Oh, yeah, I got you. Yeah. Nah, my boyfriend uses the Apple Watch.

Yeah. Yeah, man, you sound like you. Sorry, man. Yeah, I know it sounds like I've done the exercise. Shit, man. No, the reason I wanted to get you was I heard you're doing a comedy show. Yeah, I'm doing it now. I've got a few locked in already, which is weird because I haven't been on stage properly. Comedy shows! Yeah, I'm doing it, man.

I've got a few locked in already, which is weird, because I haven't been on stage properly. Sorry, Kidko, are you on stage or is it Zoom? No, no, no, like, well, I've got an extra Zoom gig, but I'm actually on stage, maybe 10 to 10. She's a 10. You all right? He's a 10. No, I'm good, man.

It's just... Maybe 10 to 10. She's a 10. You alright? He's a 10. No, I'm good, man. It's just... Yeah, whatever. You've been working hard.

Shit. How are you going to do radio with this? I'll be fine, man. I'll be fine. Get. I'll be fine. Get a soother or something. Do you want me to call someone? You sound like you're literally dying. I can't keep doing this.

I am going to die. Dude, this is a segment I do. Mitchell Coombs is here. I can't do this anymore. I don't usually talk to the people that you prank call shit. This is the first time you've ever bitched

at mid-coughing fit chicken. Nazeem, I had to stop, man. What chicken is this? You see if someone calls an ambulance on you or just lets you die on the phone?

No, usually they don't offer to help. They just hang up. What a good friend you are, Nazeem. I could have been choking on a dumpling and you're like,

yeah, I'm getting my rings up. What a good friend you are, Nazeem. I could have been choking on a dumpling and you're like, yeah, I'm getting my rings up. I mean, this segment is going to cure you. I think this is going to be the last segment you ever do. Far out, man. Well, you're alive, so I'm going to get a phone up. I'm alive. Yeah, I appreciate it.

Hey, keep up the rings. Is there an actual comedy show happening? Because you can plug it now. I won't cough at you. Sure. No, I'm doing shows in Melbourne, a comedy republic.? Because you can plug it now. I won't cough at you. Sure. No, I'm doing shows in Melbourne, a comedy republic. But, you know, they're just trial shows, just mucking around.

And if I have a coughing fit, you can step in. It seems like nothing stops you. No, I'll do what you did. I'll just sit there and watch you die on stage. Hey, while I've got you, Naseem, you're obviously, you know, quite well known in the comedy circles. I'm doing my first ever stand-up show in December. Any advice? You're going to steal my shtick.

No, I would never. I think we're in a similar territory that we cover, you know, being Muslim and gay, you know. I don't know if you've seen me, but I look like Lisa Wilkinson. I think people will be able to tell us apart, bub. Oh, that's awesome. I mean, you know, she's a professional.

You just got to look. You know what it is? You got to fake it until you make it, right? You look like you know what you're supposed to do. Fabulous. The audience looks at you

and thinks that they, you know, oh, he's a proper comedian and then you actually start to feel confident. You got to fake it until they believe you and then you start

to believe yourself. And then you've also got to have some fun in the show. Good advice. Nazeem, good to talk to you, buddy. I do love you to bits. Thank you for that.

I appreciate it. I'm so sorry. Take it easy. See you, buddy. Bye. Oh, what a good sport. All right. Well, would you say that that was the coughing fit chicken grand finale?

Because you literally bitched it. I can't believe your record was three minutes 30 once upon a time, but that was one minute 40 and you stopped can you guys look at me now look at the thin layer of sweat that is above my brain nothing thin about me look at my wrists they're like they're wet wow i'm from sweat that takes so much out of me have you taken up vaping or something your lung capacity is just when we launched that segment in 2019 you could cough for hours yeah i thought with all that vocal rest you might have mustered up some better coughing we had a

global pandemic an airways pandemic yeah i may have you didn't get it no i didn't get it no which just shocks me to be honest i actually do think i had it did i tell you that yeah but everyone has that story i had the worst thing with my life before it was announced. No. Listen. Okay. When you left the Kiss New Year's Eve party in 2018 going into, no, 2019 going into 2020, did you not feel violently ill?

Yeah, because Hayden and I went to LA because I was in and out and I was violently ill, yes. Super spreader event that was. Well, when I- Not Kiss's fault. When I returned from LA, I was the sickest I've ever been. Same. Like so, so sick.

And at the time when I Googled my symptoms, COVID didn't come up because it wasn't really a thing. But what came up was alcohol withdrawal. And I said, yeah, that sounds about right actually. That checks out. But I was like the weirdest fever, really hot, really cold, ill, couldn't breathe properly. And that was the scary part. I was like, I've never had a flu like this. And then COVID came out and I was like, ill, couldn't breathe properly. And that was the scary part. I was like, I've never had a flu like this.

And then COVID came out and I was like, I bloody bet I had it. And when I went to the doctor, she had no idea what I had. Really? She had no idea. She's like, I don't know what's wrong. Who would have thought? But I had all those symptoms. How long did it last?

A few weeks. Oh, I was about three or four days. No, mine lasted a good six days. Hayden had it, his mum had it, and that was when I was living in Hayden's house, so I think we all definitely had it. I think an antibody test is going to come out, and that's when you can, like, prick your blood to see if you have the actual antibodies from the actual disease.

You may have had it. You know, I had a brainwave. We could rebrand Coughing Fit Chicken. Tell me if you like it. Yes. We could rebrand, and I haven't done this before, and I haven't planned this with Mitchell. But here's just a quick on the fly.

We haven't planned this. But we could do laughing fit chicken. Where I just laugh. And it has to be at things that they say. I'm not going to be like, good to see you, Chrissy. That's fucking nuts. Pretend I'm your guest. Who am I?

Lisa Wilkinson. So good to have you here, Lisa Wilkinson, the host of the project, right? Hi. It's so lovely to be here, yes. I've been doing the project for three years now. Is it seriously three, Lisa? No, you've just got to keep laughing. Don't even put words in there.

Okay. Three years. Carl. Here's. Good call. Here's Walid. Gary Bickmore. Peter Elliott. What do we think? I think it's funnier when you don't put words in there.

Like, you just laugh. And they're like, when's he going to stop? Oh, okay. Because it's like when you say Peter Elliott, it's like you're laughing at something. But you just need to laugh constantly to the point where it's like, what the fuck is he laughing at? say, it's like you're laughing at something, but you just need to laugh constantly to the point where it's like, what the fuck's he laughing at?

Okay, let's try, let's try. Robin Bailey is on the air. Hello, Robin. Hi, Mitch. Fuck, it's crazy. Do you know what? I kind of like that, but I have another pitch. This can be the geniticide. She decides which chicken is next to hatch.

Okay. What about sneezing fit chicken, and we count who gives you the most bless yous. Oh, that's good. And like I said, no talking. You just start sneezing fit chicken and we count who gives you the most bless yous? Oh, that's good. And like I said, no talking. You just start sneezing and don't stop. Okay, let's practice. And you can leave awkward pauses in there. So it would be great to have you here, Pope Francis.

Hello. It's my pleasure to be here. Bless you. Thank you. Bless you. Bless you Thank you Bless you Bless you The Vatican Oh goodness me Bless you

Double Now you're taking the piss my child I like that What do you reckon Jenna which one's the winner Oh sorry we ran out of drones. Also, you know that there's a part one and a part two to a sneeze. You were just going, but there's an achoo, like two syllables. I don't do the, sorry, that's the drone.

I don't do the ah. Don't you? No, my sneezes are very dainty. I got COVID tested yesterday and I just went. It was like internal. The poor girl was like, is there a finch in that car? I sneeze like my father. Like, it's a full-on opera performance.

I'm like... Oh. Yeah. I think mine come from being silenced as a child because I try to suppress them at all costs. Even alone, I'm like, what is going on inside my psyche that I feel the need to hide my sneeze? You've never struck me as someone who was ever silenced as a child.

You're the loudest person I know. Anyway, sorry, Jenna. It's been two weeks. We could talk for hours. Yeah, sorry, sorry. You need to hide my sneeze. You've never struck me as someone who was ever silenced as a child. You're the loudest person I know. Anyway, sorry Jenna, it's been two weeks. We could talk for hours. Yeah, sorry, sorry. You need to decide. Jenna decides. Okay, this is a very difficult decision. Sneezing chicken or laughing fit chicken? Okay, well I do love both but

I think I'm going to go with laughing. Yeah, alright, that's it. Okay, and you know what I'm open to go with laughing. Yeah, all right. That's it. Okay, and you know what I'm open to if it flops. Yeah. We can just keep going through different fits. True. True, different chickens.

We can do different fits. What other fits are there? Clapping fit chicken. Lisa Wilkinson, me, me, me. Oh, my God. And you are the host of the project for I think three years. No, again, you don't talk. You just keep clapping.

But that's so awkward. Exactly. That's the whole point. You're right. You make it harder for them to not address the elephant in the room if you don't talk. What about Tweet Fit Chicken, where throughout the interview, people just live tweet and I just don't address it?

Lisa Wilkinson is here and it is so good to talk to you, Lisa. He's really not open to any ideas that don't involve him talking, is he, Jenna? No, no, he really isn't. He's always constant talking. Anyway, good to know. How about fucking shut up, chicken? How long can you not talk?

That's what the last two weeks have been. Oh, we've got that sound of silence. We've already got that. What do you mean? Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah. No, the last two weeks have been death for our listeners. I can only imagine.

And the CEO of iHeartRadio said, boys, I know you're highly profitable. I'm a girl. He said, team, I know how much you make in a week. And he said, frankly, it baffles me. He goes, the amount you make us nearly crippled us without you. Yes. He said, I want another week. And he said, you can't because we will have to sell the i in iHeart.

It would just be Heart Radio. You know, Linda, downstairs in sales, if you don't come back right now and bring in all the revenue, she's going to be made redundant. Do you want that on your conscience, boys, he said. God. I said, well, I can't fucking do that to Linda. No, she's got that bung leg and her son. I know.

After everything he's been through. Oh, I love Linda. She's nice. Anyway, we're back and it's been great. A pleasure to be here, guys, and we will return next week and we can't wait to have you. Next week we have a special guest, but that's all we can say on that. Shh.

That's all. Episode 88. We'll see you then, guys. Thanks for listening. With a very special guest. Bye-bye. See you guys next week. Bye.

Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief. This is our secret segment on the end. We wrap up the show. Hopefully all the bores fuck off and then the fun ones stick around for ADD Brief. This is the secret segment. This is only for the cool kids.

Yeah. Or actually the weirdos. Yeah. We don't want to bring up any past trauma from high school. No. I wasn't a cool kid in high school. No. No, no, no. I wasn't a cool kid in high school, were you? Yes, you were. You were. You got the fucking popular vote for school captain.

I was popular, but I wasn't cool. The cool kids just respected me because I had good hair. What group were you in? Nothing. I sat and ate lunch on my own in the drama labs. Bullshit. I didn't have friends. Then how were you voted most popular? Because I just schmoozed people. I didn't have friends. Then how were you voted most popular? Because I just schmoozed people.

I walked around and would laugh and make people laugh. But when it came to actually sitting down and having recess and sharing a snack, no one would do it with me. So you were just acquaintances with everyone? Mostly, yeah. I had one best friend that I wasn't convinced with. We just weren't convinced. This is in high school.

In primary school, I had my best friend, Nicholas Kiriakos, and then he moved to Brisbane. Is that how you feel about me? Your best friend who you're not convinced? No, we're convinced, I hope so. Jesus Christ. I have my doubts. What were you in school? I was in that middle tier

group where some of my friends in my group were invited to the parties of the cool kids, but not everyone. And some of my friends in my group were invited to the parties of the cool kids but not everyone and some of my cool friends in the mid-tier group would say hey they all really like you by the way like all the cool kids say you're funny and so like you could easily get invited to them if you like became friends with them and i was like of course they like me because i'm awesome but they suck yeah yes i have no doubt in my mind they want to hang out with me,

but I'd rather be dead than hang out with them. Oh, what did you come in cross country? Fuck off. I don't care. What's your age? Suck my ass. You would have had a small pool too. There wouldn't have been many kids in your year.

Excuse me? Country school. I went to the biggest and bougiest boarding school. Did you? In the central west. So yeah, heaps of people, like a lot. Really? Too many, yeah.

How many's a lot? Like over a thousand. Oh shit. Okay, fair, more than me. There you go. And it was also a very big grounds. Like I'd have to walk down from the fucking cow paddock in agriculture class and then I'd have science next period two kilometres the other way.

Was it also a boarding school as well? You didn't board though, did you? God, no. There was a period where I really wanted to because I was like, I want to be independent. I want to be a boarder. Mum's like, if you would fucking cope with being a boarder. Yeah, you wouldn't. And then I was like, oh yeah, it's an all boys dorm and an all girls dorm.

I couldn't just have sleepovers with the girls. No. I'd be stuck with the men. The boys. That would have been awful. What about you Jenna? What were you in high school? Debate team. I did history debating. History debating? But it's history. It's happened. There's no debating

about it. Yeah, it's on fucking record. I don't think World War II happened. No? No. I actually think that it was the trio towers that were struck. Yeah. Not the twins. Men and men on the moon. Monkey did. You can argue all those things.

What for? What point? To win the competition. So you've always been a waste of time. I get it. All right. Today we're debating recipes. To bake a cake, is it two cups of flour or one cup of horse piss?

I don't think. What the fuck is history debating? You can't debate things that are fact. Yes, you can. Neil Armstrong, I call bullshit. Buzz Aldrin was first. You pushed him out of the way. It's a thing.

I don't think so. It is. Give me an example of a historical event that you said no. No. Rubbish. I don't. I honestly don't remember. Say, for example, they go,

Jenna, today's topic is JFK's assassination and you aren't negative, not the affirmative term, so you are arguing it. What would your points be? It could be that it was staged, that they didn't find enough evidence of the shooter and all that and from the book, wherever he shot from. The grassy knoll. Oh, the book, wherever he shot from.

The grassy knoll. Oh, the books depository. Yep. Yep. So history debating is basically a much more glamorous way of saying you're a bunch of fucking conspiracy theorists. Yeah. Yes. You anti-vaxxer.

They'll be doing history debates about fucking COVID in a few years. Oh, absolutely. It wasn't real. The only thing I did in high school was maths debate. What? Oh god I remember Rory asked me In year 7, we were playing with the Bunsen burners And he said to me point blank, have you masturbated?

And I hadn't And I was like, no He's like, it feels great And I was like, well, if Rory says so I better do it And then we turned the blue flame on. So you knew what it was, you just hadn't gotten around to it yet. Yeah, yeah.

I hadn't thought about doing it. I'm like, oh, okay, I think I will. And I did. I don't think anyone ever explained it to me. I just figured it out one day. Yeah, I think I was playing around with it. I'm like, what's going on? Don't mind that.

And then you go through a phase where you really love it because it's new and it's great. And then you go, no, I'll do it when I have time. Here's a quick history debate. Who do you reckon figured out how to wank first, Adam or Eve? Oh. Eve, I reckon she sat on one of those pointy rocks when Adam wasn't wanking. Do you know what the moot feels like?

Sitting on a pointy rock would not be pleasurable. Well, they were in the garden. Jenna, get a rock. We'll experiment. That would be horrific. pointy rock would not be pleasurable. Although we're in the Garden of Eden. Jenna, get a rock. We'll experiment. That would be horrific. No, Adam would not. The snake was around. The snake probably went down on Eve.

The snake was the devil. The snake. So they say. There's also the apple. What, you think she shoves it inside her? Imagine Adam getting his first stiffing and being like, what the hell? Yeah.

I actually remember that well. I would have been three or four, being like, mum, what's going on? Really? Yeah. I remember watching back VHS footage of when I was born, because I was premature, and I'm like 18th, mum and dad were like, let's watch the clips. And I had an erection in one of the videos.

And dad, like in 1995, was like, look at little baby mitchell's little stiffy and all the my nen was there they're all laughing at my baby stiffy even though it's us and it's our bodies i still feel like talking about baby genitalia is off yeah well it is mine i know i know that it is fine but i'm like it just feels not yeah yeah yeah we don't have to talk about yeah anyway why don't we bring that to the show? History debating. We get a historian on to get this talk about the fall of the Berlin Wall. And we go, Jenna, you were negative. She went, no, I'm still there.

Didn't happen. Didn't fall. Still up. No. Send me photos. No. Get photos yourself. Exactly.

No, Madonna threw the first brick at Stonewall. Yes. Anyway. Negative. Yes. Anyway. Negative. Yeah. You know how recently, I'm doing this in the secret segment because I'm not supposed to be talking about this. You know how recently on this podcast I mentioned

that I had a new podcast in the works. Yeah. So I mentioned that well before I was informed that there was quite a hefty NDA involved. So I wasn't supposed to say a word. Oh, God. But it's already happened on this podcast. And so I'm like, well, they can keep a secret.

I'm not going to say anything else. But I will say, check your feed on this podcast. On the Is It Just Me feed. Yeah. On Wednesday morning around 6 a.m. Sydney time. Check your feed then. And we'll be posting a bonus episode. And that's going to be something to do with this podcast or the secret podcast? Oh, I didn't ever say it had anything to do with the secret podcast.

Oh, got it. Okay. All right. No. I'll be checking. Yeah. Yeah. It's just a bonus episode.

Yeah, of course. Just for fun. But will I have to be involved? Because it's my podcast. I'm thinking unless I record it, I don't know what else it could be. I don't believe any of this happened. I'm going to debate this. All right, next week, bonus episode.

No, this week. Oh, this week, sorry. On Wednesday? If you're listening to this on Monday, it's like fucking two days away. Yeah, a couple days away. All right. But who knows what the bonus episode could be? Exciting.

Could be history debating. It could be. She's really latching onto this, isn't she? I know. She's like, I've got a thing. I forgot about it. You know what we should have done? We should have given Jenna the fill-in show over the break.

Radio shows do it. When I go away, someone fills in. We've got some old guy that does it. When Kyle and Jackie-O goes away, I fill in. Some young gun. When we go away, we should jenna and you know she could pick a co-host we don't care jenna what do you think can i have a try at it yeah you have to produce it just be myself yeah if you want you can do what you want i mean if you think that's

the best offering absolutely it's completely up to you you could do history debating if you want such a beloved idea that we just had but it has to be like a similar vibe to our podcast like you can't just start doing fucking murder mysteries yeah like it has to be somewhat similar to this you could do is it just three and you could do math problems and find out if the answer is in fact three not seven plus vibe. Is it just three? No, it's not. It's 15. What could she do? Is it just me? No, it doesn't have to be the same as our title, like a similar vibe. Is it just he and it's one man in the studio?

Is it just he? You bring in three people. Yes. Two of them use they, them pronouns. One of them uses he, him. Which is he? Who is he? Is it just he?

Oh! I like that. That is very good. Which is we? You get six glasses of liquids in a black cup so no one can see the colour and you get someone to drink them. Is it just we? I like that.

Or is it Coca-Cola? No sugar. The best Coke yet. And when you are guessing, it's like, is it just wee? Or is it Coca-Cola? No sugar. The best Coke yet. And when you are guessing, it's like, is it just milk? Yeah. And then when you find the one that is actually urine, you go, is it just wee? I hate this. Yes, it is.

I love that idea. Who are you going to get to drink the piss? We won't be here. Wait, is it just Fifi? And you've got Fifi Box. And people have to guess if it's only her in the studio. Is it just me and Fifi? Well, I mean, we would be doing Fifi quite a favour

by putting her on our show because of how many listeners we have. But she does work for Arrival Network. True, and she'd be so anxious with all this audience. She's not used to it either. Well, Jenna, we give you full reins. We will have another break in the end of the year, Christmas break. Okay. And you can record a show for then if you'd like.

Is it just we? If you want to do that. Deal. You can get a co-host. You can get Sam. Get some listeners involved. Do what you need. Okay.

Signing the contract now. Do you know that the more options you throw at her, she's going to get overwhelmed. So keep it simple. Yes. Okay. You have the fill-in show over Christmas. Yeah, with Sam. Get Sam in.

No, no. Oh, fuck. I'm taking control. Mitch, you'll upload it for her, right? No. Can I have the login? Do you not have it? No.

Closer to the date you can give it to me. You'd be able to use your login and you've got access on your Jenna portal as well as Jonesy and Amanda. You've got the is it just me. Do you not have it? No, I do not. The password's just Bly and Zoe. Well, no wonder I've been getting the shits for three years for her not ever helping with the uploads.

She can't even access it. I messaged Mitch today. I'm like, what's the fucking Instagram password? I had no idea. I had to log in on my desktop. Yeah. Anyway. Listen, is it just you's could be a big thing, guys,

and it was great to have Jessica on today, but I do want you to get involved. I don't think her name was Jessica. Was it? Jasmine? Or maybe it was because I said with a lot of confidence Jasmine or something. Yeah, wasn't it Jasmine? No one corrected me.

Uh-oh. Everyone. Play it again. Yeah, good point. I'm going to my DMs, but it's right here. Hey, guys. Welcome back to our ears. Love the show.

Is it just me? Oh, she didn't say her fucking name. Do people who... What a fool. Yeah. I swear when you introduced it, it was, oh, this is Jasmine. It's Jasmine. Thank you.

Is it Jasmine? Yeah, it's Jasmine. I'm wrong. To be fair, I'm not going to call Jasmine out, but I'll be perfectly honest with you. Hey, team. Welcome back to our ears. I'm calling, coming on. Take one.

Oh, my God, I panicked. Delete, delete, delete. She's so sweet. She got it on the next try. I lost her. I know. So if you want to be involved DM me, Mitch or Jenna. No. Oh, you can't forward them actually. No, this is your thing. It's my baby. DM me

at Mitch Turi. Yeah, I do have to actually do something, Mitchell. Yeah. To thank you for my verification. We haven't addressed this. Oh, yeah, no, I'll be holding it against you for the rest of your life. Did you know this, Jenna? Yes, I did.

Mitch was so jealous when I got a blue tick on Twitter. I'm not Twitter, I'm on Instagram. He was so jealous. He called me and burst into tears. Oh, yes. He said, I've been manifesting a blue tick for decades. And I was like, like babe i just got it but like i can fucking ask if you want because i know some of the works at instagram i was like

hey my friend's fucking distraught and he's desperate for a tick and she goes i mean is he famous and i said not at all no but can we fucking you know pull some strings here give him a pity tick or a pick if you if you will. Pity tick! And it happened, and so now I'll be using that against him for the rest of his life. He got it for me. Well, to be fair, you said, oh, I'll try. I said, how much does it mean to you? Yeah. Get me Dido, I'll get you a tick.

Maybe it's because I got you all those birthday guests, and we've had a great run of guests. Ty Verdes. Ah, yes. Nazeem Hussain. My good friend Ty Verdes. Now... Feel free to forward on mine as well for the filler show, just so people know who I am. For the filler show. Now, you've got to do the filler.

You've got to, you know, earn your blue tick. Yes, I will. I've earned it. As have you, Mitchell. Didn't you previously get knocked back by requesting in-app to be verified? That's right. Don't you forget that. You didn't as well. No, I never did.

I applied twice. I didn't even know that you could apply for a blue tick on Instagram until you told me that they knocked you back. I was like, oh, why do you even want one? Because I was like, I don't care. But then I got one. To be fair, the only reason I want one, and this is true, apart from ego, it was nice, but this is true, and I'm being honest honest here is because it helps me when

I'm booking guests for my show because I DM people all the time. Netflix stars and reality people, Love Island kids to go come on my radio show and if I'm not a blue tick it goes straight to their unknown folder but if you are blue ticked you go straight to their DMs. Do you know what that's probably how I got Roy on the show.

Oh yeah. Slipped the tick in there. Busy drink. I got Roy on the show. Oh, yes. Yep, slipped the tick in there. Oh, what? Busy drink. But, yeah, I've never been one that has desperately wanted a blue tick because I worry that it makes me look less relatable because there's something about seeing someone with a blue tick. You're like, oh, who's this try-on?

Or like, oh, who's this wanker? Why do they have one? I feel like people get a bit weird about it. For your content, maybe, you're the soul of the earth. You're the man's man. But I'm red carpet baby. I'm laughing, by the way, everyone. That's not true.

Yeah, right. When I tag Dua Lipa in my Instagram stories, I want her to think he's one of us. Armenian and famous. And wildly talented. With a thin waist to boot. Well, even the most absurd requests I make happen. Yeah. I was very impressed, you know.

So where's Dido? Turn around. Imagine if I flew her over. How did you actually pull that off? I don't know. She's like, hello. She looks terrible. Hello.

So good to be here. You know Hayden has met Dido. I told this story. Yeah, yeah. The poster in the bag. He to see you. Hi. Hello. So good to be here. You know Hayden has met Dido. I told this story. Yeah, yeah. The poster in the bag we found a year later. Yeah, he did pay for it. Embarrassing bastard. Not my boyfriend.

I'm like, I talked to the stars before. You idiot. And yet, where is Dido? Where's Dido? I talked to the Kiss demographic. You want Sam Fisher? Done. Jenna, is Dido played on WSFM?

Yes. Fabulous. All right. What do we need to do to somehow steal the WSFM guest book as laptop? Just type into the contacts D-I-D-O. Surely it's there. Yeah, it'd be a plus three, four Swedish number. You know what?

I'm going to try and do this. I'm going to get Dido's number. Can you steal the producer's laptop? Yes. Should I call the guest booker now? No. I'm getting Jenna to do it. If you do it, I'll get you a blue tick. No, I can't promise that. Can I?

I'll do it if I get a blue tick. I don't have them in my pocket. Imagine if you just meant to just throw around blue ticks. Yeah, imagine if I could just like I had software and I was just like, I'm going to take Lady Gaga's away. Fuck it. Ow, I'm breaking this chair.

Sorry. I went to change my username and it was like, if you do this, you lose your blue tick. But why would you change your username? It's Mitch Turi. That's what you want. No, I want not my username. Sorry, my, it's like your username and then your name underneath it.

Just the name. Because I had a cowboy hat. You can change your name. No, but it did warn me that if I changed it, I could lose it. I could lose it. Yeah. Because there was a cowboy next to it and you told me to get rid of it. It ruins brand.

Yeah, I said it looked fugly. Why have you got a stupid cowboy? It's not even a brand for you. Cowboy emoji. Cowboy. I've got leather boots. Jenna, what emoji springs to mind first when you think Mitch Turi? A burger.

I'll take it. What about you? Maybe that one where they've got the tongue out and one of their eyes is bigger than the other. Oh, yes. Like eyes are a bit crossed. Yep. A bit manky looking.

Jenna, I picture... The upside down smile always. Yeah. Yeah, or the smile that doesn't have a mouth on it. It's just two eyes. Yeah, I get that. Unreadable. Yeah.

And Mitchell says it's just the stop sign. Oh. Is that what you think of me? Because you command a whole audience. Like a stop sign? Yeah. People listen to you. Stop for 30 seconds and fucking move on. Well, I can tell you one thing. On Contiki, Jenna's legs are a giveaway audience. Like a stop sign? Yeah, people listen to you. Stop for three seconds and fucking move on.

Well, I can tell you one thing. On Contiki, Jenna's legs are a giveaway sign. Tight tunnel. That joke made no sense. A giveaway sign. That's the show. Nothing we have ever said. I should have said a fucking...

Right of way. Yeah. What sign would have moked for that? Breakdown Bay. One way. No, you want it to come out again. way. Yeah. What sign would have moked for that? Breakdown Bay. One way! Oh! No, you want it to come out again. You don't want it to be stuck in there. No, I meant that you don't

give her anal. There's only one entrance. Oh, one way, one way. Well, technically there's two. No through rows. Oh, God. Oh, my God. I'm going to vomit. Hump. Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Oh, great. That's her Christmas present I'm just going to log on to Vistaprint I'm going to put a hump sign on her shirt

That's great Alright, on that note, we should go everyone How good's a dry hump by the way? I love a dry hump That's all Hayden and I do these days We just dry hump, bit of a jerk off, some hot kissing, that's it You've dropped enough hints over time That lead me to believe you don't actually enjoy fucking that much, and that's fine.

Do what you want. I'm just don't have the energy. I'm exhausted now. I think that's fine. Yeah, poor thing. He's the one you're stabbing it up. He's got to do all the preparation. He's got to lie under me.

He loves it. Oh, I always pictured him on top. I can't believe you do that. Yeah, he's very lazy. I've always pictured him on top. I can't believe you do that. No, yeah. He's very lazy. His core strength must be wild to not have broken ribs. I'm not stuck on top. Fair enough.

I don't put any of my body weight on his chest. Legs can be up or... I hate legs up. Yeah. But if I'm holding them, at least he doesn't have to actually hold them there. I can do it. Because I'm strong. Oh, God, you're good. Yeah. But that's actually... You're doing more of a stretch if you're holding them, at least he doesn't have to actually hold them there. I can do it. Because I'm strong. Oh, God, you're good. Yeah.

But that's actually, you're doing more of a stretch if you're holding it up. Just let him rest it on your shoulders. It's not doing as much of a stretch. Yeah, true. Have you had a root yet after lockdown? No. So you could give blood now. You just stole that joke from me.

What do you mean? I said that. Last. In the last episode. I don't remember what happened yesterday, let alone three weeks ago. In episode only six. I said, oh, I wouldn't mind a fuck.

It's been so long I could donate blood now. And then you went on a big impassioned rant about how ridiculous it is to insinuate that we'd have AIDS in our blood. I really did think. But what you were really thinking was, fuck, that's good gear. I'm going to recycle that later.

You just gave it back to me like a boomerang. That's my joke, dog. You can't steal my material. I didn't even make a joke. I just said, have you given blood? You could now. No, you said you could give blood now. That's not a joke.

Giving blood isn't a joke. Is it a joke to you? You can give blood willy nilly, Jenna. Not us. Us AIDS-ridden skanks. Yes. So per the Australian government. The Red Cross.

Well, I'm cross with you, Red Cross. The fact that fucking me is an honour that I so seldom grant anyone, and yet they don't want to risk the hiv. Yep. Because I could have it. Despite the fact that I've got a clean bill of health every time I get a sexual health check. Have you done that? Yeah, once.

Oh, it was so fucking awkward last time I did one. Why? What happened? Were they a fan? No. Oh, my God. No. They were like, here's your fucking things.

Go do some samples. So I pissed in the car. And then I brought it back to the pathologist and she goes oh yes just leave it in that pigeonhole stuck outside the door thank you for coming closes the door and then i'm in the waiting room and i'm like oh everyone can see i'm just holding my own piss in a bag and then i had to put it in the pigeonhole which was translucent it wasn't like a white box like like a letterbox. Everyone could see what I just dropped off. I was like, really?

Perspex. Oh, no. Perspex. That's disgusting. And I'm like just seeing things from that three-year-old who's on the ground playing the toys. I'm seeing it from his perspective. Good one. And he's like, mum, what's that?

Imagine. That's awful. She went, that's HIV. You know what that is, Mason? Gonorrhea. You know when mummy and daddy had that vocal argument and we ended up voting no on the piece of paper that came in the letterbox.

That's why. That's why. And then the doctor would have come out and gone, Braxton. Some stupid modern kid's name Um Herxia Dunlop You know how when you go down to the beach Dunlop

And you get scared of crabs I want you to remain that way as an adult Avoid crabs at all costs. You'll end up like that man that pissed in a jar. You know, Chobani, I always tell you to stay away from dark holes. The same remains true when you're an adult. Now, the doctor needs you, go. Devondale.

Why are we assuming that Devondale's mum's homophobic? Yeah. I was more just thinking as a child, whether your parents are homophobic or not, it would be a bit hard to explain why I just pissed in a cup. My parents just would always be so shocked that two men were kissing on TV. I remember actually that happened once.

I was in the hallway just cleaning my teeth and mum and dad were watching TV and I heard through the lounge room wall, two men kissing. I hate that. Yeah. And I was like, get used to it, bitch. Yuck. One day when I bring Glendale home or some modern name.

Glen 20. Glen 20. Mum and dad, one day in the near future I'll be bursting through these doors with Firefox. Mozilla. This is my fiancé, Mozilla. This is my life partner, Barata. And you better get used to it.

This is Safari. Adobe, you don't have to talk to me, shall I? Why don't you call your kid Adobe? That'll happen. Adobe's not bad? That's actually a cute name. Yeah, that's nice. Adobe Coombs. My, a family member of mine, you know when you've got like the weird step-auntie and then they have a kid and you just go a family member.

I don't even know how that's named. You're like, oh yeah, sort of cousins, but not really. Yes, yes, yes. They named their child Eight. True story. E-I-G-H-T. As in A-T-E? No.

Like Eight, a burrito? No, no, no. E-I-G-H-T. As in A-T-E? No. Like I ate a burrito? No, no, no. E-I-G-H-T. Like the number? Yeah, the number eight. Have you heard that dumb dad joke where it's like, oh, this lady was in the back of an ambulance in Labor on the way to hospital and she looked out at the petrol station and thought, that's a beautiful name.

I'm going to call my kid that. Karosini. But it was kerosene, mispronounced. That's really funny. That's good. This little baby, Karosini. That's hilarious. Have you guys seen Selling is little baby kerosene. That's hilarious. Have you guys seen Selling Sunset?

No. Oh, the Selling Sunset. I've heard it's good, but I haven't watched it yet. It's awesome. The Lux listings of LA. It's like Devley Hills, right? The cast is sensational. Anyway, one of the leads is Chris Shell.

Her name is Chris Shell. And in one Q&A. You go to the Sunset Market and they go, so we've got the twilight. We've got the dusk over here. Which sunset are you after? Yeah. Dawn. It's more of a sunrise, but you know,

we do variations. Yeah. I'm more of a dusk guy. Anyway, Chrishell is one of the stars and she did like a Q&A one day and I watched on YouTube and they're like, where did Chris Shell come from? She went, funny story, actually. So I was actually born in a taxi cab, and my mom had to pull over. My dad was driving.

Pull over. She pulled over at a shell. And lo and behold, the staff member helped us and served us and got me out of the womb, and their name was Chris. And my mom said, how can I honor Chris? Chris Shell. And that's where Chris Shell came from. And that's a true story.

Chris Shell. Shell. They could have just named her Chris. Also, imagine if his name was Faraz and she was at a Caltex. How do I honor Faraz? Faltex. Oh, just Faraztex. Faraztex. Yeah. Faltics. Or just Fraz-tics. Fraz-tics.

Yeah. What if his name was Big? Big Shell. You would have been cheering if his name was Me. Me Shell. Me Shell. Also, you mentioned that she said I was in the taxi cab. Why do they say taxi cab?

They don't need to say both. Yeah, very true. Where do we broadcast? Oh, a radio studio room. Yeah, true. Yeah. Yeah. I'm on my laptop computer.

I'm holding a writing pen. Hey. Oh, that's my phone device. Oh, my God, actually. Wow, that is really... Remember when people used to say mobile phone? Oh, someone's calling. Put them on.
