People do some weird shit.
This is it. This is a big one.
This is for the girls. This one.
Some things make more sense than others.
Lindsay Lohan punched in the face
after trying to take a boy away from a mother.
You're a good little boy.
I won't leave until I take you.
Brace yourself for observations you didn't ask for.
That's the line. I see it quite clearly.
Get new glasses.
This is Is It Just Me?
Hosted by a couple of Mitches.
Cinder, one Mitch is clearly better than the other one.
I couldn't agree more.
Now, here's Mitch Turi and Mitchell Coon.
That's us. Here we are.
Oh, hello, hello.
How you bloody doing?
Oh, not bad, producer Jenna.
Hello.
Hello.
There's always that split-second delay of a fingernail clicking on that button and chiming in.
My fingernails are not even long.
They're huge.
Hold them up for the camera.
Don't chip one.
Shellac's expensive, especially for those things.
Jenna, does that mic of yours out in the little pit there where the producers sit,
does that bend down to the table?
I want you to click your nails to show just how long they are to people listening.
Oh, I don't like that ASMR.
Sounds like fiberglass snapping.
Absolutely not.
That's horrendous.
Okay, how have you been, Mitch?
Oh, you know, business as usual.
What about you?
Yeah, I've been fine.
Actually, did I tell you that I had my family reunion?
You did, actually.
In Bogengate?
Or you met halfway or something?
No, we went to Gundagai.
It's a whole thing.
Oh, that's next to Twindelarabane, right?
Isn't it?
So if you're new to this podcast,
old mate Churi over here has this thing
where he can make up fictional suburb names on the spot.
It's not a thing.
It's not like it was a gift that I've been born with.
It is a gift, though. If I was an Avenger, I wouldn't be the suburb guy. Do one right It's not a thing. It's not like I was a gift that I've been born with. It is a gift, though.
If I was an Avenger, I wouldn't be the suburb guy.
Do one right now.
Barrel Ginder Guy.
That's a good one.
Barrel Ginder Guy.
That's where they had those horrific floods last year.
Well, funny you bring this up because at my family reunion,
there wasn't a whole lot of, oh, Mitchell, what have you been up to?
How's your life?
It's, God, that guy you work with on that new podcast is funny.
Really? Yeah, a lot of compliments from the Coombs clan coming your way. I'll tell you that, God, that guy you work with on that new podcast is funny. Really?
Yeah, a lot of compliments from the Coombs clan coming your way.
I'll tell you that.
Oh, that's very sweet.
Well, because of the suburb thing.
Well, yeah, that was actually my sister's favourite thing.
She said out of all the things that we've done on this show,
that was her favourite thing.
Well, she's from Loracana, isn't she?
I think that's where I met her from.
We used to swim together in Loracana local pool.
You know, we've had a few people on our Instagram saying
that we should get merch made for our show.
I was thinking we should get, you know,
those tea towels that have all the city names,
like Rome, Paris, London.
We should get one with all the fictional suburb names
that you come up with on the spot.
Tristleton.
Brenda Baraldine.
You have a favourite one, right?
Brenda Baraldine?
Nari Warrabee.
Nari Warrabee.
Do another one.
I need another one.
Okay.
Brickle Battlebush.
Isn't it funny?
I had a family dinner this week, and my aunt actually, no, it was at a funeral.
I had a funeral.
You didn't tell me about that.
A family member funeral.
Sorry, I didn't know about that.
No, no, sorry.
It was sad, but it was, you know.
Anyway, we're at the funeral, and we're at at the wake and God, you better buddy believe
I was at the finger sandwiches, just chomping them down.
Cucumber and mayo, don't even like it, but I had six.
And I was sitting there, my uncle came over and he was like always benchmarking my career,
always thinks I'm not doing enough.
And lovely guy, he's my godfather.
He's like, oh, I listened to that podcast you do.
And I'm like, yeah.
And he's like, he's not for you.
And I'm like, who?
And he's like, the guy you do it with, he's not for you.
Well, we're not going to date and we're not dating, so that's fine.
He was like, you need a straight man.
I'm like, well, neither of us are filling that blank.
We are the opposite.
Do you think that you need a straight male co-host for this show?
No, he thinks I need someone to bounce off so I can be the star
because he wants me to be the funny one.
Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
Do you think I'm outshining you?
No, no, no.
That's probably what he thinks.
I think he doesn't want the banter to be equal.
I think he wants you to be the damsel in distress that goes, oh, Mitch.
Right.
So you need to be the funny one and I need to be in hysterics.
Yeah.
That's not happening.
I don't agree.
But you know what I would like to say in defense of myself?
Sometimes when I'm looking back at the videos that we film here in studio i look like a fucking wildebeest no i notice that i do a lot
of silent laughter so i'll have a massive grin on my face and i'll like lean away from the microphone
and like laughing and then i'm like that's shit audio because when you listen to the podcast it
sounds like i just give you nothing i just sound like a yelling fat fool i'm like
because jenna's on the other side of soundproof glass as well there's just no reason to believe you nothing. I just sound like a yelling fat fool. I'm like, glunderbatterboop! And because
Jenna's on the other side of soundproof glass as well,
there's just no reason to believe that anyone finds
you funny in this space. It's like a science
experiment against this poor fat gorilla.
Your laugh is like the Roadrunner.
Help!
I didn't even do that. No, you don't. Anyway,
let's jump into the show. If it's your first time listening,
welcome. Is this 9, Mitch, or are we at 10?
We're at 9. Episode 9. What do we have coming up on today's show? Well, we're first time listening, welcome. Is this 9, Mitch, or are we at 10? We're at 9.
Episode 9.
What do we have coming up on today's show?
Well, we're going to be doing something a little bit different, right?
We're going to be doing an Is It Just You?
Yeah.
So we've been in touch with Georgie on Instagram, one of our dear listeners.
She DM'd us.
Yes, and she's got something that she'd like to get off her chest,
and we'd just like to let you all know that the option is there for you too.
Yeah.
If something ever springs to mind or something that we're talking about
you want to comment on, we'll get you on.
Oh, God forbid you want our advice.
I don't know why you'd do that.
We're like Dully Doctor, but idiots.
Definitely not our advice.
No.
I was going to say the airways.
The cloud is yours.
Yes, yes, yes, it is.
Okay.
So if you've got an is it just me for us,
just head to couple of Mitch's on Instagram.
Yeah, we'll get Georgie on, but we're going to start the show
the same way we do every week.
We kick it off with an Is It Just Me?
So something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
Yes, we do one each.
The other one doesn't know what it's going to be.
Yeah, we surprise each other.
Mine, you can go first this week.
Sure, great.
Mine is, actually you've had a video on your Facebook go viral on this topic.
A similar topic, but I had this experience this week and I have lost sleep over it.
You're going to have to narrow it down.
I've had lots of videos.
It's going viral on Facebook.
Sorry to tell you, Uncle Ross.
Poor Uncle Ross.
But sure, should I kick things off?
Yeah, you can start us.
All right, let's do it.
Is Untouched by the Veronicas just not that good?
Oh, no, I disagree.
I actually quite like the song.
Well, I quite like the song too.
It's a bop, make no mistake.
But have you noticed it's become a bit of a meme at the moment
to like overhype the song?
Yeah, yeah.
People are like, actually, I have noticed that.
If people don't know what Untouched by the Veronicas is,
it's this song.
Of course, you've got to remember this one.
Oh, God.
Takes me back Sorry
Copyright laws
Five second rule
I thought I'd done something wrong
Did you see me?
Like an abused puppy
I was like
What am I doing?
He'll yell at me
I'd love to play the whole bloody song
But I can't do that
I have actually
I've tried to play the whole song
Within the five second parameter I've been given
I just put it in fast motion
See if it works
No laws broken play the whole song within the five second parameter I've been given. I just put it in fast motion. See if it works.
No laws broken.
We all know that song, don't we?
That was the whole song?
Yeah.
Listen again.
Okay, hold on.
If I play any longer than five seconds, that's breaching copyright.
So that's completely legal.
I don't know. That's horrific.
I think I might be taking the piss there, but moving right along.
Why are we talking about Untouched?
Because, like I said, it's become a bit of a meme to overhype the song.
MTV have taken it one step too far.
Did you see what they were doing last weekend?
No, I did not.
Well, I think it was ahead of the launch of the Veronica's reality show.
I knew about that, yeah.
On MTV.
I had them on my show to talk about it.
Oh, did you?
Yeah.
What are they like?
They're very nice, but they were on speakerphone for the two of them.
And I was like, hey, girls, hey, Jess, hey, Lisa.
And I'm like, you're fucking twins.
Get one phone each.
You know what I mean?
But no, but they were very nice, and they had cameras filming.
This was a couple weeks ago, so they'd been filming for a while.
I haven't seen the show yet, but they were very nice and they had cameras filming. This was a couple of weeks ago. So they've been filming for a while.
I haven't seen the show yet, but apparently in episode one, they filmed the Veronica's coming into Kiss where we work to go on Kyle and Jackie O.
And you can see the back of my head.
You're kidding.
That's a beautiful girl in the corner there.
Who is she?
I want her name.
But anyway, what MTV have done in the lead up to promoting this reality show,
they played 24 hours of Untouched.
They wiped out an entire Saturday and just played the song on repeat for 24 hours.
On their TV station?
Yes.
Holy shit.
I didn't watch, but I'm assuming the music video is with it.
I don't actually know.
But here's the thing.
Like I said, it's a great song, but the quickest way to ruin a great song is by playing
it repeatedly like even working here at kiss there are some songs that i think are great
and because i'm here all day and a lot of the same songs get repeated more than once during the day
i end up hating them like tones and i dance among oh my god i'm sure she's a lovely girl but if i
fucking hear it again i'll be sitting on the toilet, then a bird will tweet, like out the window when I wake up.
It'll be like, me, me, the bird.
And then I'll be like, all I hear is, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
I'm like, fuck off.
Or someone will wail in my house.
Mum will chip her toe and she'll be like,
you used to be somebody you loved.
Every human noise now turns into a pop song for me.
It's ruined.
And it does ruin it.
This is what I'm saying.
Like, don't ruin a good thing in the form of Untouched
by playing it over and over again.
Even my favourite song in the world,
no matter how obsessed with the song I become,
I don't reckon I could listen to it on repeat
without getting sick of it.
Oh, no, I reckon I could.
Like, I've got a couple songs I'm hooked on at the moment,
but right now I'm obsessed with the new Dua Lipa song.
Does that now?
Yeah, she came on the show too.
Look at me name dropping.
We're just such good friends.
That's probably why I like it.
You didn't tell me that she came on the show.
She came on the show.
Yeah, she called through.
But yeah, her latest song, Don't So Now.
Sorry, can we upload that to our podcast stream as like a bonus episode?
I feel like you do these things on your radio show
and then you never talk about them here. That's something
that you should share, that you interview Dua Lipa.
Okay, well, if people are interested
in my chat with Dua Lipa, then I'll put it up.
Great, it's going to be a bonus episode in this podcast.
But yeah, Don't Start Now is good. I could listen to that, I think,
for 24 hours solid. You'd get sick of it
though, that's the thing.
Have you got your bloody, have you
got your AirPods on you? Yeah, I've got the new AirPods
Pro, which you're an idiot. You bought the latest ones and they drop new ones the next month. I don't care. I've got them AirPods on you? Yeah, I've got the new AirPods Pro, which you're an idiot.
You bought the latest ones and they drop new ones the next month.
I don't care.
I've got them here.
Ready?
So put your headphones in and pop that Dua Lipa song on repeat
and I'll check in with you at the end of the show and see if you hate it yet.
Because I'm telling you, we've got like what?
I don't know, less than an hour to go.
So that's enough time to get sick of a song for me.
Well, then you do it too.
I'm not doing it on my own.
No, but you're the one that reckons that you can do it.
So I have nothing to prove.
If I'm doing this stupid challenge, you can do it too.
Come on, you've got a favourite song.
Jenna, can you bring my backpack in?
It's got my AirPods.
If I have to.
Thank you.
Yes, you have to.
She's so willing to lend a hand, isn't she?
I just need to wash my lunchbox first.
No, you don't.
Just get my backpack and then wash your lunchbox.
I've got my AirPod in.
We're going to start at the same time.
No way.
I'm not listening to that Dua Lipa song.
I like it, but I don't want to ruin it.
We'll make Jenna do it too.
Actually, I've been listening to Harley's in Hawaii by Katy Perry a lot.
And I think it's underrated.
I think it's a good song too.
I really like it.
In a bid to promote it, I will play that one.
Poor thing.
You know you're...
Five seconds.
Get rid of it.
All right, that'll do.
This is my song.
Thank you, Jenna.
Hold on.
No, they're not here.
Oh my God, Jenna, they're in my pocket.
They've been in my pocket the whole time.
Poor Jenna just did a cardio for the month.
Clean my lunchbox.
Just go clean your lunchbox.
Osteoporosis will flare up.
This is my song.
Ready?
Do the best part.
Sorry, legally I can't give it to you.
Sorry.
I'm going to play it.
Oh, shit.
What?
It actually really hurts to put an ear pod in and then put these big radio headphones
over the top.
It pushes the ear pod into your ear.
Yeah, we're double jamming.
Oh, I don't know if I can do this challenge.
What are we going to call it?
Should we give it a name?
The repeat challenge.
The ear hurt challenge.
The deja vu challenge.
Oh, yeah, I like that.
Deja vu's funny.
Nah.
Let's see if we can recite the lyrics at the end of the episode.
All right.
Just call it the untouched challenge because this is based off the Veronica's.
It's like you this past couple of weeks.
Hey.
Untouched.
All right.
Mine's in.
I'm going to just put my ear up to the microphone.
Ready, everyone?
This is just what I can hear in my left ear.
So, oh, it's actually really hard to talk to you while hearing this song at the same time.
What? I can't do it. Why are we doing talk to you while hearing this song at the same time. What?
That's so, I can't do it.
Why are we doing this?
Are we sure this is a good idea?
This is a shit radio.
We can, oh, once again.
You know what?
Yes, we are doing it just to prove to you that we're not on radio.
Okay.
So apparently we're committed to this.
This is actually really difficult.
So this, is it just me?
Is it just me?
Or could you definitely not listen to your favorite song for 24 hours? We'll have an answer to it at the end of the episode. Well this Is It Just Me? Is It Just Me? or Could You Definitely Not Listen To Your Favourite Song For 24 Hours?
We'll have an answer to it at the end of the episode.
Well, it's only going to be one hour. Yeah, but we'll see.
I think you'll know. Alright, well that's my
Is It Just Me for the week. What have you got for me?
Let's move on. My turn.
Is It Just Me?
Or
Is It Completely Inappropriate
To Keep Your Eyes
Open During A Head Massage massage at the hairdressers?
What?
Is it the cultural norm when you walk into the hairdressers and they go, do you want to wash?
I go, yeah, sure.
Always love to wash.
Because you get the massage.
Oh, right.
I know what you mean now.
Yeah.
You lie back in the basin and they start washing your hair.
It's always two washes too, which is confusing.
Anyway, so I sit down.
I got the buddy, 16-year-old girl doing a TVET a t-vet corset tape just poor thing um she's very sweet but she's like i'll i'll do your thing i'm
like great so i lie down i start getting it done she washes it twice and then we go to the head
massage but do you keep your eyes open or do you do you close them because i had them open and she
was not having any of it um so i'm sitting on my back she's basically my eyes are dead open i'm
like a dead cod.
I'm just like lying open.
It's like she's embalming a corpse.
You know when you go to the fish markets
and there's all those bass
when their eyes are like...
That's what I'm like.
And I get stiff because I'm nervous,
quite clearly sweating
because that's just my norm.
And I'm sitting there,
literally like a corpse.
She's massaging
and I decided to close my eyes
because I'm like,
I'll change it up.
Then it gets fucking weird
because I have a little half smile on. this poor kid what do you do see i definitely
don't shut my eyes i actually my hairdresser has to battle with me to make me relax because they
can tell that i'm all tense in the shoulders and i'm not putting all of my weight on the basin
i'm basically just like leaning back doing like a half crunch right like it's a definite core workout when I get my hair washed at the hairdressers.
Yeah.
Because I hate just putting my head back and just becoming like limp, like a baby that
can't hold their own head up.
I just, I actually don't like that part of the process.
Yeah.
Well, your eyes are closed?
Nah, definitely not.
Really?
Do you know, I couldn't close my eyes at the hairdressers because just so everyone knows
at any given point i'm tired so if i close my eyes there's a risk of me falling asleep do you
realize how many times i've fallen asleep at the dentist what because i'm lying back they've got
that bloody fluorescent light in my face with those hideous servo sunglasses on which do nothing
to block the light so i end up closing my eyes, lest I go blind.
And then I'm there with my mouth wide open and I just fall asleep.
And then that poor dental assistant has to use that bloody tube that is
like a little vacuum to suction up my dribble because I drool when I sleep.
So I'm there at the dentist's like, just like vacuuming up my drool.
Speech into this basin.
They're like, Mitchell?
Mitchell!
Wake up!
No joke.
I've fallen asleep at the dentist so many times.
Really?
So there's a risk I could do that at the hairdressers too.
No thanks.
I've fallen asleep at the massage parlor and I think they thought I died.
Ben's a good boy.
Sir?
Sir?
Sir?
Done now. Done for hour.
I'm like, okay, thanks, sorry.
When I was at the hairdressers yesterday, by the way, side note,
I, oh, is this what you were talking about with the viral video of mine on Facebook?
Yes, I was getting there.
I was going to say, people might have seen on my Facebook page,
I did a video where I left the hairdressers and right before I left,
they asked if I wanted a blow dry.
I thought that just meant they were going to use a hair dryer
to dry my hair, not realising that a blow-dry is basically...
A style.
It is a style.
They make it look all straight and bouncy and fluffy.
And so I put this video on Facebook ranting like,
oh my God, what have I disagreed to?
I look like fucking Lisa Wilkinson.
Got like four million views.
And this was my first time going back to the salon since that.
Oh, like like he's
back he's back it was it was i'm not kidding it's this like woggy gay guy called francesco and he's
like oh my god i have not stopped laughing since i saw that video that was amazing that was so funny
i was like oh thank you thank you whatever yeah cuts my hair and then starts bloody blow drying
it again oh and i was like i thought it was so heavily implied in that video on my Facebook page
that that is not how I wanted to leave the salon looking.
He did it again.
Look, that's why I've got my hair tied up.
Is that why?
I'm going to take it out.
Oh, my AirPods.
Oh, shit.
Harley's in Hawaii's out.
Come back, Katie.
Hold on.
Ready?
I'm going to take my hair out.
It's like a reveal.
Oh, fuck.
You look like a Bratz doll straight out of the top drawer.
I know, isn't it?
It's gone down a little bit, but it was very fluffy and very bouncy.
Got a lot of volume in it.
Well, I got my hair cut and my hairdresser said to me,
talking about my career, how's Kiss?
I'm like, good.
She's like, anyway, how's Mitch Coombs?
I didn't even finish.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I'm like, he's good.
She's like, God, he's funny.
Sorry, I can't hear you over Katy Perry.
That's fine.
God, he's funny.
I'm like, yeah.
She's like, all the girls here in the tea room,
just watch his video on loop.
Oh, the Lisa Wilkinson one.
They love it.
It's like a hairdressing thing that they pass around.
God, here I am, IE, Jim's buddy, promoting your own videos.
I should join TikTok and start promoting mine.
So, yes, the point you were making is that it's awkward as fuck.
Jenna, what do you do?
Do you keep your eyes open or closed?
Jenna's got a lot of hair.
But I don't go out, so I don't know.
Right.
She does it herself.
I reckon Jenna's the type to fall asleep on a bus or a train or something and then go
to the end of the line and be like, fuck, where am I?
No, never.
Never.
Really?
Poor Jenna's the type of person to get off the train in North Sydney and end up in Gwindall
Baradine.
Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of Mitches.
Make sure you leave a review.
Can't think of anything nice to say?
Just hit five stars and tell them what colour socks you're wearing.
Did you just look down at your feet?
What a dopey piece of shit.
All right.
Well, I'm sick of you talking.
Are you sick of me talking?
Yeah, me too.
I'm over myself.
Thank God, because that's enough out of us for now, I reckon.
Georgie has been in touch with us on our Instagram.
Georgie Nash.
A couple of Mitches is where you can find us.
She's not the only one.
We've had a few people sending in Is It Just Me's of their own.
Of course, we kick off the show each time with an Is It Just Me each.
And now we thought, hey, why should everyone listening miss out on the fun?
Yes, yes.
Well, they're not going to miss out on the fun because it's not going to be an Is It Just Me.
I want that to be sacred for the two of us.
Change it up.
It's going to be in Is It Just You?
Wow, you must have spent hours thinking of that one.
I actually did.
I woke up in a cold sweat.
So hit us up any time if you've got something you want to vent about.
Our cloud is your cloud.
That's exactly right.
But for now, Georgie's the star.
Hey, Georgie.
Hi, guys.
Hey, G.
The first one.
How exciting.
Where in the world are you joining us from?
I'm actually from somewhere that you, Mitchell,
have described as the gronkiest place on earth.
I live just outside of Campbelltown.
Oh, Mitch, how dare you?
Hang on.
When did I say, hang on, the gronkiest place on earth,
just outside of Campbelltown?
It was during a, when I was telling you about Mad Libs, and you had to come up with a place.
Oh, on your old podcast.
This is back on Not My Cup of Tea.
What suburb exactly was it that I said is the gronkiest place on earth?
Campbelltown.
Oh, wow.
That's so harsh.
I don't even have any beef with Campbelltown.
I don't know why I said that.
I have beef with Campbelltown.
I live 20 minutes from there.
Right.
Don't bring up the old podcast.
I'm like a scorned ex.
I'm the new lover.
I'm like, don't bring her up again.
Now, wait, do you like the show better?
Don't ask her that.
I can ask her.
Georgie, what do you prefer?
It's different.
Yeah, it is.
Thank you.
Georgie, what the fuck?
That's all it needs to be.
You don't need to compare the two.
They are very different.
All right.
Okay, hold it, hold it.
Let's jump in.
Well, before we jump in, I should explain to her,
if we seem a little bit distracted, Georgie,
it's because we're currently in the middle of what we're calling
the Untouched Challenge.
Yeah.
It's like waterboarding they did in World War I,
except just with music.
It's horrendous.
It's basically the Veronicas played Untouched on MTV for 24 hours,
and I said that you watched it, did you?
Of course I did. I love the Veronicas and I love Untouched watched it did you of course I did I love Vivron
because I love Untouched it's iconic
I literally said I can't imagine anyone actually
sitting down and watching that how many Untouched
songs did you get through
oh I don't know
how many is in an hour but there was at least
three to four oh you were there
for an hour yeah
just dancing around my house no one wants to come
Jesus Christ it's funny that you say that because at the start of the show I was saying this show is about an hour? Yeah, just dancing around my house. No one wants to come. Jesus Christ.
Well, it's funny that you say that
because at the start of the show,
I was saying,
this show's about an hour.
I reckon after one hour
of listening to the one song on repeat,
you'd get sick of it.
I'm listening to Harley's in Hawaii
by Katy Perry.
Hold on, let me just see
if you can hear it.
Can you hear that?
What do you think of
Harley's in Hawaii,
out of curiosity?
It's honestly a bit.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
I couldn't listen to it for like an hour straight, but like when it comes on, like my phone,
I'm like, yeah, it's a vibe.
Well, what about my song?
I've got Dua Lipa.
Don't start now.
Hold on, wait there.
A new one.
Help me.
It's different.
It's a vibe.
Yeah, a vibe.
So yes, I apologise if we seem distracted at any point during this call.
So let's get into it, shall we?
You've brought an Is It Just Me to us.
The floor is yours.
Hit it.
Is it just me or?
Our customers who approach you on their phone, the worst,
like the absolute worst.
Oh, that's a good one.
Like, to be fair, I work in a pharmacy.
Okay. And I work, like, where the scripts are,, that's a good one. Like, for that, I work in a pharmacy. Okay.
And I work, like, where the scripts are, like, where the drugs are.
Like, I need to ask you certain questions.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
You'd need their attention.
Yeah, and when you're on your phone, I can't ask you those questions.
Right.
Like, I just get pieces of paper thrown at me and expected to go run and pick them up.
Like, I don't know what you, I need to know, like, what allergies you have, because some
doctors are dumb and prescribe you things that, like, you can't even take.
Hey, out of curiosity, what's the most, like, intrusive personal question you've had to
ask someone in your job?
I have had to ask someone, a female, what thrush symptoms she was having.
Oh.
What colour her potential discharge was. Okay.
Oh, dear, oh, dear.
Was she on the phone to her partner at the time?
Look, she was one of the lucky ones that wasn't on her phone.
Good, good.
I would have just thrown the box at her and gone, yeah, that's fine.
I don't care.
You win some, you lose some.
So what's your stance?
Do you want people to not be on the phone at all while they serve you?
Or, you know, like the classic phone to the ear,
sorry, I'm just the chemist.
Hey, I'm so sorry.
And they push the phone away.
Are you that okay?
It's what I do.
I've got no problem with that.
Like if you're standing there waiting to be served
and you're on your phone, I've got no problem.
My problem is when they come up to the counter
and they don't even say hello.
Oh, so they keep –
They're human.
They carry on with the conversation that they're having on the phone
and then just kind of hand you the script.
They just paper at me.
Gotcha.
I'll give you my opinion.
I hate it.
I can't do it.
I am like – I profusely apologise if I have to.
Like I'll be on the phone to someone at work and I'm like,
yeah, I'll take this much money next year.
And they'll be, anyway, here's your cheese and bacon scroll.
And I'm like, I'm so sorry.
Hold on.
I'm going to have to call you back.
I'm so sorry.
That's my boss. I give them the full back story. I'm like, I need more money. I ask. I'm going to have to call you back. I'm so sorry. That's my boss.
I give him the full backstory.
I'm like, I need more money.
I ask them for more money.
And then they're like, yeah, great.
Just take the money.
Like a 13-year-old child.
I hate it when people do it to me.
So I feel bad.
But I'm going to call my uncle's family.
I feel bad.
Same.
Well, once again, I'm here to represent the bitch of the piece.
Surprise.
Because I catch myself doing it all the time.
And it's interesting you brought this up because I always just assume, oh, they probably don't mind.
Because half the time I've noticed more and more the people that serve me in customer service kind of scenarios, they are less willing to chat than I am.
And I'm like the most socially awkward person ever.
So when I'm the one trying to push this conversation and they have no interest, it's really confronting.
So I often just assume they don't want to talk to me any more than I want to make small
talk with them.
It's just too much effort for both of us.
So I often just catch myself on the phone or like I am right now while talking to you,
Georgie, with ear pods and listening to music.
Yeah, how disrespectful.
Like, if you don't want to engage in a conversation, or, like, hi, how are you?
A hi is fine.
I'll at least kind of give them a nod or whatever
if I'm mid-conversation on the phone.
And even if you just mouthily say,
hey, I'm on the phone, or, hey, I'm good.
If you just ignore me, like, that's, like, the pinnacle of it.
Now, Georgie, obviously you're in a position
where when people do these things that piss you off at work,
you still have to be polite to them because you're in customer service.
Let's just pretend I'm a customer.
I've just walked up to you and I'm on the phone.
And you right now, pretend that you are in a situation where you can say exactly what you've always wanted to.
And your boss won't be mad, okay?
So a bit of role play.
Can I swear on the podcast?
Absolutely.
Yeah, we prefer it.
So let's pretend that I'm a bitchy customer and there's no consequence for saying exactly
what you're thinking and feeling.
All right.
I'll give you the ambience.
I'll give you the ambience.
Ready?
Check out aisle three.
Code green.
Aisle three.
Code green.
Aisle three.
Yeah.
So anyway.
Hi.
Yeah, no.
I know.
I know.
I can do so much better than this.
I know.
Do you want a generic? I am the backbone of that show. Seriously. Listen know. I know. I can do so much better than this. I know. Do you want a generic?
I am the backbone of that show.
Seriously.
Listen to you, motherfucker.
Okay, I'm going to ask you this shit so that you don't die.
It is simple as that.
I will get your address off this street and then we'll throw a voice through your window.
I am done.
She's still going.
Yeah.
I'm done.
I'm done.
Before I lift over the counter to punch you in the face.
Sorry, what was that?
I'm on the phone.
We're fucking slapping men over the counter.
Three.
Go somewhere else.
Back off.
Tell you what.
I'd be terrified.
If I was a geriatric 80-year-old woman trying to get my bloody insulin medication in the
line, I'd be terrified of you.
Have you ever been tempted to just politely ask them, hey, yo, pay attention because I
don't want to give you the wrong prescription or the wrong medication or whatever?
I have had to because it's like some medications, like it's fine, like I can just do whatever.
But some things it's like, we take a lot of serious medications, like stuff that like
I can't even access, like the pharmacist has to get it out of safe and stuff.
Shit.
We have to have like date of birth and all that.
And sometimes the doctor forgets to get them.
And I've had to go, excuse me, I need to ask a couple of questions because I actually
legally can't give them any medication without it.
Yeah, there you go.
Sorry, love.
Your thrush medication is so potent, it's in the safe, buried in the ground.
So I need to know what colour your discharge is.
Good, Dan.
That's awful.
Well, there we go.
I think that was a very successful first, is it just you?
And it's not just you.
We got to the bottom of it.
Look at us, just answering questions.
I promise, Georgie, I'll make more of an effort not to use the phone
when I'm being served by people.
Because if Georgie's anger is what I'm going to receive,
I'm not interested at all.
No, I'm not interested in receiving it either.
Hey, thanks so much for joining us, Georgie.
Not a problem.
Thank you for having me.
Oh, good.
Absolute pleasure.
We're going to get out of here, aren't we?
Yeah, going home.
How are you coping with this bloody untouched challenge?
Well, where am I at?
Hold on.
Hold on.
Can you turn our music off?
Yeah, yeah, hold on.
I want to play.
Okay.
I'm at main chorus. You go first.
Hula, hula hoop.
Best part. You're missing it.
I gotta tell ya.
I'm just getting the drop ready. I'll give the five seconds
of the drop. Here we go.
Don't come out. I'm
still hooked. Have you had yours at full volume
the whole time? Yeah.
It's actually really difficult to do this.
Yeah, I could barely hear Georgie.
I hope to God we responded appropriately to everything she said. It was not clear.
Fucking distracting.
It's like when you're in bed and you can hear a mosquito up near your blinds,
but you can't do anything to get rid of it.
What did you just say?
Blinds?
Blinds.
What are blinds?
Blinds.
Keep the sun out in your bedroom.
It's one syllable.
Bliance.
You're like, Bliance.
Bliance.
There's only one syllable.
Bliance.
Bliance.
No, there's only one syllable.
Bliance.
I'm doing one syllable.
Bliance.
Are you stupid?
You know what?
No.
This is actually a problem because I used to work on a show called The Thinker Girls
and we used to give away vibrators for gifts.
Vibrators. Vibrators ya it's not like going by the
vibrators oh god vibrators what's wrong with you yeah what the fuck
you're like oh that's awfully kind oh no I really don't my-end.
Sir, I'm your surgeon.
You've broken your spion.
My what?
Your spion has snapped in two.
Really?
Hey, Debbie, assistant nurse, can you close the by-ends?
Horrendous.
Oh, God, I had a really hard day at work today,
but I suppose it could be worse.
I could be out working in a my-end.
We need to get out of here.
Yeah, we really do.
End of the show.
But, hey, before we go, can we finally end this untouched challenge thing?
Yes, please.
I'm taking my main headphones off.
It's still playing.
Listen.
Okay.
Can we turn it off?
Can we turn it off?
Yeah, on three.
One, two, three.
Okay.
And my song ended.
That was perfect timing.
It's mostly the ear pain.
Well, hold on.
I've got so much wet wax.
I think I was just pushing it out.
God damn.
Let's give a result.
So I would say that my hypothesis was correct.
You do get sick of a song after hearing it often and on repeat.
Yeah, I think you're right. Harley's in Hawaii is a very underrated new Katy Perry song,
and yet I'm just not in the mood.
Yeah, and I'm good friends with Dua, and I hate it.
So there you go.
It's quite repetitive, isn't it, Harley's in Hawaii?
Yeah, it really is.
So is Dua Lipa, but it's got good drops and it builds.
Yeah, it doesn't have any drops or builds.
Gotta love Katy.
In my intro to Dua Lipa on the air, I'm like,
coming up on the show, I've got Dua Lipa,
otherwise known as what the bungee jump assistant says
to you before you jump.
Go on, Dua Lipa.
I thought that was so funny. That's so stupid. Like Dua Lipa? That's, go on, do a leaper.
That was so funny.
That's so stupid.
Do a leaper?
That's dumb.
Oh, for God's sake.
She's so bloody mean to me.
It's like the blind leading the blind over here.
Let's go. Oh, yeah.
I thought of one.
Oh, I parked illegally.
I hope I don't get a fire.
Oh, we should fucking get out of here.
You can leave us a review.
Please do.
If you're listening to this, if you've gotten this far,
please leave us a review.
We're almost at 100.
It'd be amazing if you'd give us five stars.
No toy gets left behind.
Stop it.
I can't think of any.
All right.
I'm going to give you a countdown.
Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Oh, funny. All right, we've got to go. Yep. Bye, guys. Thank you so much for listening. We'll Seven. Oh, funny.
All right, we've got to go.
Yep.
Bye, guys.
Thank you so much for listening.
We'll catch you again next week.
See you next week for episode 10.
Is it just me?
Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app.
Okay.
Here we go.
This is a secret segment, ADD Brief.
If you're new here, this is our secret segment that we don't want anyone to actually listen to.
Hopefully we tricked most people out of listening when we pretended to wrap up the show.
Yeah.
This segment is not planned, not structured.
We just talk shit because we both have an inability to stay on track, as you probably ascertained listening to that closer.
Yeah. Apparently this is some people'sed listening to that closer. Yeah.
Apparently, this is some people's favourite segment.
Idiots.
Yeah, fools.
They get it this far.
Speaking of idiots,
we now have a Facebook group exclusively for listeners of AD Debrief.
We do.
The entry question, if you try to join that group,
is what is the name of our secret segment?
Obviously, you know because you're here.
It's AD Debrief.
But normie fuckers that find us on facebook and don't actually listen will have
no clue what's going on yeah can you please not be mean to me i'm actually very nice i forgot to
mention it's called endurant idiots yeah i was actually thinking mitch i did not get clearance
from you on this but i was thinking in that group we could put a poll and list basically all the
segments we've done and say what's been your favourite so far
because we've done a lot, we've launched a lot
of new segments and it's like well how
the fuck do we know which ones are worth repeating or not
I can tell you one we won't be doing again
that is the fucking prank call you
tried to make me do as part of
what was it called? Oh Jenna wanted you to do that
you got a hustle, you had to
it was the budgie call that Jenna planned
you handed me a gumtree ad and i didn't know who i was prank calling until you'd already hit call so i
had to try and wing it but once you handed me the ad while the phone was calling it turned out to be
an ad for a missing budgie and i was like that's fucked that person's missing their pet i hadn't
planned it and we were never going to go ahead with it anyway oh let's not get into that because
jenna argued otherwise i've got receipts Nup to the cup is what I say.
That's my response.
Anyway, what I was going to say was I was thinking we should turn that into,
because I don't want to fucking do it,
we should turn that into like the You Gotta Hustle challenge where someone calls, one of our listeners does the prank call.
So we get them on the line.
They end up calling the number on the Gumtree ad.
They make an inquiry about whatever it is that's being sold
on Gumtree and then they've got to slip in and is it
just me? And depending on how
subtle slash effective it is,
we give a prize. The reason we haven't launched
this segment yet is because we don't have prizes
yet. What merch should we get? Well, I've
got SodaStreams to give away on my actual show.
We can't raise the kids. No, but I was going
to say we could try and get some for this show.
I could ask.
Oh, yeah.
You could try ya.
I could.
Yeah, I could try ya.
But just so you know, if you're listening live,
you can tweet into the show.
Live tweets are activated.
I haven't turned the button on.
Hold on.
That was just my phone going off.
Can I get on?
There we go.
So live tweets are active.
Plus you can call in on 888-966-606-642-749.
I like how it changes.
842-906-104.
When the extension code is plus 69 because the phone is registered in Iran
because it goes through the Bethlehem Tower.
And then what you have to do is just someone will talk to you
and they'll be like, hi.
You just go, hi.
Just transfer me to Mitch and Mitch and then what you have to do is just someone will talk to you and they'll be like hi he's gonna just transfer me to um mitch and mitch and then it will go to france and then you'll
hear it's a bit much and then you'll go back to iran and you'll know you're there trust me
you'll know you're there um mitchell then you'll be transferred back and uh you've got to hit the
extension code six and then what you'll do is is it'll go through the KISS server.
So for a little bit, there'll be a little bit of dance monkey.
You'll hear a little of that, maybe me, if it's from 9 to 12.
And then eventually you will get back.
But it's got to pass through the local creche first.
This is the worst part.
It just goes through.
What if it?
Well, the phone call because it's being diverted.
Sorry.
And then because you're finally in Sydney.
That crèche was in dwindled Tarleton.
And then it'll cross through Sydney, go under the harbour,
through the Opera House.
You'll hear a little bit of that.
Oh, Beethoven's Fifth Concerto has just finished.
And then finally it will land in the studio
and we'll be able to talk to you.
So it's pretty simple.
2019, huh?
Tech is crazy.
So if you're new here, Mitch goes rogue on the sound effects
and he likes to pretend that there's live tweets,
even though that's not possible because we're not broadcasting live.
I don't know.
But did you not listen to me the other week?
I very rarely do.
What?
Good one.
What I said was Can you pull
I don't mind this sound effect thing
That's a lie
It shits me to tears
But if you're going to do this sound effect thing
Can you keep them fresh
Every single one of those I've heard before
I've got more
Because if you
Mitchell
I'm giving you
A dummy's guide
To a non-cranky Mitchell Coombs
Okay
I suggest you follow it
It's best for everyone concerned
Okay true
True Cranky Mitchell Coombs. Okay. I suggest you follow it. It's best for everyone concerned. Okay, true.
True.
That's a new one.
There we go.
That's a new one.
There you go.
Yeah, I've done it.
I've done it.
Okay.
This will just come up in and out.
I hope it doesn't.
No, not a while really.
It is getting a bit old. It takes me out of the show.
But I will focus.
I actually want to talk. I need your advice. This advice this is genuine okay am i allowed to talk about this i don't know what it
is yet so it is my anniversary with my partner my lovely beautiful partner um in what anniversary
one year fuck man that flew it did didn't it it's gone it's been a while and this is the since we
were official like we've been talking for quite a while before.
But this is the first year. What contraception are you using?
That was a good one.
That's not funny.
Why did you have to look at each other like you'd planned that joke
out in the studio halls?
That's fucking ridiculous.
Finally a good joke.
Fuck off, Jenna.
Get that up, you Uncle Ross.
Fuck you both.
Sorry.
It's okay.
Good joke, Mitch.
There you go.
The live tweet is actually
Who was that, Uncle Ross?
That was, no.
It was Betty White.
She's listening.
She's a comedy genius.
It won't be long
before she's
Get rid of the gun.
I'm telling you.
That's my favourite.
I like it.
Move.
I'm deleting it.
No, don't.
Don't delete it because no. No. Someone's my favourite, I like it. Move, I'm deleting it. No, don't delete it, because no.
No, someone deleted my high and I can't find it.
Why is this on the Mitch Till Midnight soundboard?
We've got our own.
Yeah, we do.
Here it is.
Put it on your fucking shit kiss one.
Get it off ours.
I'm getting stressed out.
I'm taking myself to the beach.
Go sit down.
Where is it?
It's gone.
Don't do it.
Sorry.
Put the sunscreen on, Jen.
We've got a lot of American listeners.
It's triggering.
Sorry, that's not a good word to use.
Mitchell.
No, I know what you mean.
It's not on.
Just please don't.
Okay, sorry.
Here's the story.
It's a year,
and we're both very stilling up with
each other it's quite cute i bought him a present a gift i'm quite romantic and sentimental
hey i didn't want to date me for you disgusting what i've done is um we both have recently been
to new york on our first overseas trip together.
We wanted to get a GIF that marked our first trip together, something we can remember it with.
Mitch is zoning out.
It's a good story.
No, I'm actually just looking over there.
Look at how little impact your audio is making on there.
Can you turn yourself up?
I never thought I'd say that.
Look how high up it is.
How's that?
Yeah, maybe if you talk into it, that would help.
Is that better?
Yeah, you can actually.
How's my bars?
Oh!
Yeah, a bit much actually.
So we both got matching necklaces from a rap place.
Like all these rappers, not like a rap deli.
Why did you go there?
Because Hayden loves rap and R&B music. And 50 Cent, all these other rappers, you know, Young Thug, Travis Scott.
What was the name of his shop?
Can you turn your back down now?
Actually, now you're super loud.
She's actually quite famous.
I've got to go to Hayden's profile to find it.
Oh, just added him.
He's a man.
You definitely said partner.
No, I didn't.
So we walk in and we want to get matching chains.
Just necklaces.
Silver really fine.
Sorry, Jenna?
Matching chains.
Yeah.
Like Tupac.
Yeah.
Well, he's passed.
I'm not sold on how that happened.
We get matching chains. Sentimental. We both like chains. So we got the chains. Lovely. Well, he's passed. I'm not sold on how that happened. We get matching chains.
Sentimental.
We both like chains.
So we got the chains.
Lovely.
They were quite expensive.
$250 each.
They're real sterling silver.
But you're paying for your weight in silver.
We were worried it was going to be short.
You would have been able to afford that if it was on your dime.
Very funny.
So then we come home.
It's great.
I lose mine this month.
I've got a party.
I'm getting changed.
Where were you?
My neck full of sweat.
I'm at one of our mutual friends' house, Huxley Jones.
And I'm getting changed and the necklace flies off my neck.
I don't know how.
I think it broke.
It would have had to have broken.
It could not have just slipped off over that head.
Very true.
So then I lose it.
And then his comes off.
This breaks. During Fleischer. it. And then his comes off. This breaks.
During Fleischer.
Oh, no.
It got snapped.
Oh, God.
Oh, what did you do?
Jenna, why did you go, oh, God, and vomit into your mouth?
Sorry.
How did you break your cultural appropriation chain during a fuck?
What did you do?
No, it just came off.
I just grabbed it and it pulled and it snapped.
Were you choking him?
No.
That's disgusting. And how dare you insinuate that I would do that? People like choking. I you choking him? No. That's disgusting.
And how dare you insinuate that I would do that?
People like choking.
I'm not mad about it, just quietly.
But anyway.
No, I'm not either, to be honest.
So what I did was...
You haven't explained how you snapped it.
Because you need to touch.
Was it like it was a horse's bridle?
Giddy up, bitch.
It wasn't a stirrup, no.
A stirrup is what you put your foot in.
Oh.
Well, no.
I mean, I don't know what you get up to.
Maybe it was. No! Stop. I don't like this you put your foot in. Oh. Well, no. I mean, I don't know what you get up to. Maybe it was.
No!
Stop.
I don't like this.
This isn't funny.
You brought it up.
I'm a bloody devout Christian.
I lost it.
And that was very good.
Thank you!
So anyway, you both got your matching chains.
You lost yours because you suck.
You broke his mid-route because you suck.
And then I contacted a jeweler because i thought
you know what let's get the remaining silver we have from the one necklace we can't both have
necklaces they're both very sentimental he's like i don't want to wear it you don't have yours so
they're not matching so i had the idea to melt it down into rings which i thought would be quite
nice and then we both have a part of the necklace that reminds us of the trip and we can both
remember it but that's whiskey giving him a ring. I know. And here's the problem.
She sent me a photo.
Oh, is this what you wanted advice on?
Yes.
She's very sweet.
I'll give her a plug, actually.
Her name is, let me find it, Bridget Kennedy Project Space.
So I Googled melting down jewellery Sydney.
Hers was the first one to come up.
But here's the problem.
They look like wedding bands.
Oh, no.
Give it.
Give it.
Give it.
Give it.
Show me the photo. Coming. There's bands. Oh, no. Give it. Give it. Give it. They look like engagement rings. Show me the photo.
Coming.
There's two.
I'm going to pause it.
I asked for them to be thin because my fingers look like little chorizo sausages.
When I picture gay wedding rings or getting rings, I picture they're kind of thick and
they've got that indented line all the way around the centre or something like that.
Or maybe a few lines are engraved around the ring these and don't this is not me being an asshole but they kind of look like key rings like
they're very thin very that's what i wanted though they are like yeah they're the thickness of like
okay never mind there's absolutely no risk of him thinking i actually like them they're nice
jenna right so they're meant to be fine like an accessory like they're they're very thin they look
like wire okay um well they're
what you're worried they literally look like key rings if what you're worried about is him thinking
that you're proposing i don't think there's any risk because if you propose with that it would
be a no they're quite thin fuck off how how do i how do i give him rings though without him thinking
it's a proposal just try and resist the urge to get down on your knees yeah but knowing me they'll
bloody buckle well thanks for your advice.
I just, no,
I don't think there's a risk of him thinking that
it's an engagement ring.
But is a ring in any way,
shape or form risky?
Not really.
Not if it looks like that.
Not if it's a one year anniversary.
Not if it's shit.
No, but you'd have to,
maybe you can do like,
because I saw this thing
on one of my colleagues' Instagram stories the other day that made me like so maybe you can do like, cause I saw this thing on one of my colleagues,
Instagram stories the other day that made me like so wet.
It was like,
like a,
what do you call it?
A scavenger hunt.
So the first note says,
Hey,
remember the trip to New York,
head to the TV cabinet to find out the next clue.
The one in the TV,
the note in the TV cabinet says,
um,
remember these necklaces that you got head to the kitchen sink for the next clue.
Get the kitchen sink. Remember when the necklaces broke broke head to i don't know how many rooms in the
houses are there go to the laundry head to the butler's pantry and you you know what i'm saying
i don't say bit by bit and then you say you've done the setup so he knows that they're not just
random fucking thin ring true the problem is i've done that in a way in like a sexy way because i
was the two of us on one and he was having a shower.
So I go, all right, I'll make it romantic.
So I get a cardboard and I go put it on his bed.
I'm like, hi, go to the spare room.
Go to the spare room.
There's another note.
It's like, go to the kitchen.
On the kitchen I'm like, come down the stairs, down the stairs.
And then I'm sitting in the chair and I'm like, hi, being cute.
So then I'm sitting in the chair waiting, right, naked.
Oh, no.
So I'm sitting.
Is their legs akimbo or lagog for mystery?
No, they're cross.
Hop on, bucko.
I'm actually on my Nintendo Switch, let's be real.
I'm on my Nintendo Switch because I'm waiting.
It's taking a while.
So I'm sitting there and he's in the shower.
I'm like, okay, I'll calm down in no time.
15 minutes past.
I'm freezing.
By the time he comes down, you're like, oh, sorry, babe.
No.
Princess Peach overtook me.
I've got to win this Mario Kart.
No.
I'm sitting there and I hear,
shower's done.
Babe.
Babe, I need a towel.
Can you get one?
He goes, Mitch?
Mitch? He's like Can you get one? He goes, Mitch? Mitch?
I was like, you all right?
I'm like, oh, no.
Now he thinks I've died.
Oh, he's a little bit like me.
He ruined the surprise.
Our Hayden.
No, I was going to say he's a little bit neurotic.
Well, no, no.
It was just, you know, I'd be worried too.
I couldn't hear my partner.
I wouldn't give a fuck.
I'd be like, wake up, cunt.
I need a towel. And then I'm like, I'm downstairs. Just get one couldn't hear my partner. I wouldn't give a fuck. I'd be like, wake up, cunt, I need a towel.
And then I'm like, I'm downstairs, just get one.
He's like, what, why?
Then we start fighting.
And I'm like, no, just get one, please.
So I go up and sort of throw the towel at the door
and I'm like, check your room.
Then we still do it, you know, the last 10 seconds.
But yeah, that's my story.
Can't do that anymore.
Well, fuck, I'm out of advice. Jenna's not going to contribute anything. I'll just put it in a card, I last 10 seconds. But yeah, that's my story. Can't do that anymore. Well, fuck.
I'm out of advice.
Jenna's not going to contribute anything.
I'll just put it in a card, I think.
I'll stick you to them.
Jenna, do you have anything to add?
Should we do this Jenna intervention now?
I think so.
Do you think?
Oh, not another one, please.
Because we were going to do it.
We were going to.
What do you mean another one?
You big brother.
Oh, that wasn't an intervention.
I know, but it was worse.
So Mitch and I were talking about doing this as I know, but it was worse. So, Mitch
and I were talking about doing this as a
segment, but we may as well just do it now.
We're like, what does Jenna do?
And we're looking at the log going, I planned that segment,
you planned that segment, you planned that.
She didn't plan anything. I was like,
she's producer Jenna for all intents and purposes,
but she's not doing anything.
No producing happening, Jenna. And then we're thinking back,
we're like, what does she bloody do other than be really mean to us?
Me in particular.
So we were like, we're going to have to strip her of her title.
We don't want her to leave the show, but maybe we should just,
I don't know, something more accurate.
How dare you?
Like personal assistant Jenna.
Somalia, Jenna.
Get us some matching lines.
What about Jenna from Reception?
I like that.
I think it can be better than that.
Jenna the clerk.
No.
No, it needs to be like, what else do they have?
Jenna from Integration.
You know how companies have very random departments?
Well, every time we throw to Jenna, instead of producer Jenna,
because God knows that's inaccurate,
we give her a random job title that a small podcast like ours
absolutely wouldn't have.
Okay.
Anyway.
Can you go back out there so we can practice?
Yeah, go, Jenna, go.
I will go out.
Thank you.
This isn't a bad thing.
We were just wondering.
We were like, we brought her on as a producer,
but that's not happening.
No, no producing happening.
We're producing and talent.
That's very radio-y.
We are not.
All right, she's out there.
All right.
Hey, Jenna from trading, could you just get us the stats I asked for, please?
I'll get the stats now.
Hey, Jenna from learning and development, where's my backpack?
I need my AirPods.
I'll get your backpack now.
Hey, Jenna from people and culture, could you get me the water, please?
Thank you.
Jenna from Catering, there's grapes in here.
Shut up.
I don't like this at all.
I don't like it.
Sorry.
I just feel like why are we calling you Producer Jenna if it doesn't even make sense?
You used to have your own segments.
Whatever happened to Jenna's Junk?
Yeah, Jenna's Junk.
We had sound effects made up for that. Do you still have any junk? I do. You've got have your own segments. Whatever happened to Jenna's Junk? Yeah, Jenna's Junk. We had sound effects made up for that. Do you still have
any junk?
I do. You've got Jenna's Junk.
I've got Jenna's Junk. Prove it.
Fine then. Come in.
I'm coming in. I've got sound effects.
Look at this. This was as we rummaged
through.
Many layers of junk. There we go.
She's on her way in. Well.
Come on.
Jenna from fine paper.
Let the junk commence.
All right.
So for anyone who hasn't heard Jenna's Junk, this is all the terrible Is It Just Me ideas that did not make the cut because it's the start of the show that we kick the Is It Just
Me's off.
So they can't be boring or people are going to stop listening.
So if we don't like the idea, we throw it in the trash,
and apparently Jenna is scum and rummages through our trash.
So this is Jenna's Junk, all the terrible idioms that never made it to air.
Let's take a peek at Jenna's Junk, shall we?
I have to say, I walked past her.
She was coming out of the bathroom, and I got a peek.
Oh, it's very wide.
Let's not dwell on that.
Sorry.
All right, Jenna from software development, what have you got?
All right, here we go.
Here we go.
What have you got?
Here we go.
You said here we go eight times.
I'm just shocked at how bad these are.
Your opinion means nothing, Jenna from accounts.
Okay, whatever. Let's start.
Is it just me
or did you think butt dialing
was fictional? That was
mine. Oh, that's yours. That's not bad.
That's pathetic.
She's quite mean, isn't she? No, but here's
the thing. Every time I used to see
butt dialing in movies, I used to think
that is such an unrealistic
thing to happen.
No one actually accidentally pocket dials someone.
Like your phone's locked if it's in your pocket.
Yeah.
But like, I think it was two or three weeks ago, I was in the kitchen and I, you know,
the vegetable crisper at the bottom.
I love that drawer.
I did a squat so I could get my spinach because my head was then closer to my pocket because
I was squatting.
I just hear, hello.
Hello.
That's all.
And I was like, oh, my God.
I pull it out.
I've been on the phone to someone for like three minutes.
And I had no idea because I'm piddling around the kitchen making my bacon and eggs.
Singing to Gaga.
And I had no idea that I'd pocket dialed someone.
So that's not a butt dial, but a pocket dial.
I used to think there's no way
that actually happens in real life that people accidentally
call someone. I did it. It was fucking terrible.
What about that dumb moment of
yours when you
went on Instagram live on the way
to the cafe? I did do that. What happened?
I don't remember that. Everyone got the notification.
When was it? I left the office
once and I went apparently on Instagram
live and I just walked down to the cafe down the road from the office
and so all the Instagram Live was just the phone rubbing up against my leg
and then...
Yes, yeah, the usual.
Yeah, no good, how are you?
Fuck.
Yeah.
Oh, God, that actually wasn't a bad itchim.
I don't mind that.
That was terrible.
It was a lot of me talking and no one else saying anything.
Very true.
That's just like my fucking story about the rings.
All right, opening up again.
The itchim flew out in the breeze. Bitch. Well, that's just like my fucking story about the rings. Alright, opening up again. The itchum flew out
in the breeze. Bitch.
Oh, another dumb one.
Fuck off.
Do you not
know what moisturiser does?
I'll stand by this. Of course it
does. What does it do? I always
apply it and I feel like
a lubricated cucumber.
It just never soaks in. I will put it in and everyone's like, let it sit for a bit and it will soak in and then I just get up and I feel like a lubricated cucumber. Like, it just never soaks in.
I will put it in.
Everyone's like, let it sit for a bit and it will soak in.
And then I just get up and I feel like a wet piece of cheese.
I'm just like, I'm tacky.
I'm gross.
Put it on my face.
Next day, I'm fucking Mount Vesuvius.
There's pimples everywhere.
Moisturiser has done more harm than good for me.
Plus, I've got really smelly feet.
And once a podiatrist said, moisturise your feet,
and I fell over and hit my elbow.
So, I don't like the moisturisers.
So, what, you're saying that when you put
moisturiser on, it just kind of lingers there, and you have to wash
it off at the end of the day? Yeah! Nah, it's
meant to sink in. Doesn't sink in. Maybe I've got
clogged pores. Like when you tip,
I don't know, water onto
paper towel, it absorbs. Nope, doesn't do that to
me. So, you're like tipping
water onto the bench, it just kind of stays there.
It's fucking concrete. That's weird.
It's like you're rejecting it.
New one.
Oh, God.
The people who wave at cars to say
thank you for stopping at a pedestrian
crossing shit you off.
That's me. You're such a grinch.
Well, like, you know how if you're approaching a pedestrian crossing
and someone's crossing the road, they wave at you like,
oh, thanks for letting me cross.
I'm like, it's the law.
If it wasn't, I'd run you over, make no mistake.
But I'm just obeying the law because apparently you're not allowed
to run people over.
They're acting like I've gone out of my way and done something kind
and, like, I made the decision to stop.
Don't be like, oh, thank you so much.
That's so kind.
You shouldn't stop for me.
Your problem is, though, if someone didn't wave, you'd be like,
dumb slut, you just can't have a both.
You would.
You'd be mad if you're damned if she does, damned if she doesn't.
I would not.
Yes, you would.
I literally argued.
Sorry, I've opened the bin.
The bin's open.
I literally argued my point when we were talking to Georgie was that
I don't mind people being in their own zone when they're in public.
Because I'm in my own zone.
True, true, true.
The garbage truck is almost here.
Come on, carry on, Jennifer.
Try to get a story out.
Jennifer from Fine China.
Well, that's not a department.
She cleans them, yeah, because it's a...
Jennifer from Haberdashery.
Okay, shut up.
Jennifer from Glassware.
Jennifer from Chemicals. Sorry, thanks. Shut up. Jenna from Glassware. Jenna from Chemicals.
Sorry, go.
Mitch from The Bin.
Have you never seen an ice sculpture?
Oh, no.
Have you ever seen an ice sculpture?
It was my idjim.
Have you never seen an ice sculpture?
Yeah, I've never seen one.
I feel like I would have at least come across,
working in the media industry,
you've got all these fancy events you don't want to go to.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Jenna,
but I think when we went to that Yui Boom launch event,
there was an ice sculpture.
Multiple ice sculptures.
See, I've never seen one.
And in movies, they're there.
They're swans.
They're little cupids.
They're fairies.
I have never seen one.
And I want to see an ice sculpture so bad.
Maybe we should get one and bring it in here.
Yeah.
Producer Jenna.
Oh, wait.
We can't ask her to do it.
She's Jenna from Pharmaceuticals now.
Oh, yeah.
Shit.
She can't organise the eyes.
No.
I can sculpt it for you.
Really?
Yeah.
Jenna from Ceramics.
Yeah.
Oh, can we get Jenna from Orthopaedics in here?
I think we should get out of here.
I'm yawning.
Probably.
It's been a great show.
We've gone on for quite a long time.
What are you thinking, Jenna, from operations?
I think you're both pathetic.
Jenna from the NLT, which is the National Leadership Team.
Okay, well, it's been a great show.
We'll be back next week.
Thank you for listening to ADD Brief.
Don't forget to go and join our Facebook group,
just for ADD Briefers.
If you find the page, it's got a picture of Mitch with a horse.
That's very skinny.
I've just got a thyroid issue.
Thanks for listening.
Please leave us a review.
Five stars.
You can write one.
And if you haven't, is it just you?
Probably you do write one, a review, by the way.
We prefer the written ones.
If someone's scrolling through the charts and they find something is number one,
they're going to look at the reviews and read it and decide whether to listen or not.
That's right.
You've got to put
something good there.
Feel free to hashtag
Chenna's junk.
Yeah, feel free.
Oh, got one more.
Holy shit.
Justin Trudeau.
He said,
I love the show, guys.
Who's that?
He's the Canadian
Prime Minister.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Oh, one more.
I personally would like
to look up a pterodactyl's anus.
It's been a great...
Oh, we can't put that in, can we?
Why not?
Are you going to go edit this out?
Yeah, I can do it.
With Pro Tools.
We'll see you next week for episode 10.
You know, the funny thing is that there's been so many times
during this show that I've...
Because obviously I do a couple of touch-ups editing-wise
because we might pre-record a segment or whatever.
But there's been a couple of times you've said in the show, we'll cut that out.
And I just don't.
Just to prove a point.
That's my favourite part.
I've never heard it.
You always go, we can cut that out.
And I'm like, sure we can.
But if you're not doing it, then it's not happening.
You're kidding.
I like the show to be raw and as it happens.
Very true.
Oh, someone's called through.
Then why are they dialing?
Huh?
Yeah, they're still dialing.
Yeah, because they called through on two phones.
You know what I actually realised the other day?
What?
When I was listening to, which episode did you give me the car humidifier?
Three episodes ago.
Episode seven, I think.
So you gave me that.
I was listening to that episode back and I was listening to the whole part where we turned
on the portable microphones. We're like, hello, are they working? Yeah, we'll go down and see it. I was like, that episode back and I was listening to the whole part where we turned on the portable microphones
like hello
are they working
yeah we'll go down
and see it
I was like
god I really could have
edited around that
yeah
but I was like
oh well they can just
hear it all
yeah I know
I'm glad you and I
listened back to the show

knockout

I like that.
You know what?
You can.
Thank you, Jenna.
Groundskeeper Jenna.
