Starting point is 00:00:00 Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Well, isn't this a nice surprise? Hello, everyone. Bet you thought you saw the last of us. Live from Glebe. I was just about to give my address out. That's not fair.
Starting point is 00:00:13 From the Glebe Tower. I don't know. It's Mitch Turi. Mitchell Coombs, what tower are you in? I'm back in Bogan Gate, back at mum and dad's place, still here for Christmas and New Year's. You're still in Sydney, right, Mitch? You're at home? I'm back in Bougain Gate, back at mum and dad's place, still here for Christmas and New Year's. You're still in Sydney, right, Mitch? You're at home.
Starting point is 00:00:28 I'm here, yeah. I'm in Glebe at home. I'm on holidays. I've cleaned the house twice. I've vacuumed over the vacuuming. I've got no pants on. I've made pancakes. What else is there to do?
Starting point is 00:00:40 Well, thank God there's like hundreds and hundreds of kilometres between us. If you ever showed up to the studio with no pants on, I'd be furious. No, I mean white underpants too. They're almost translucent. I really didn't think it through. Thank God there's no cameras here. But I am here. Jenna's here too.
Starting point is 00:00:54 Hi, Jenna. Hi. Hello. Our third wheel groundskeeper. Jenna, happy new year. Happy new year to you too, Mitch. How's everyone doing in 2021 so far? Yeah, it's good.
Starting point is 00:01:04 It's exactly the same. In fact, I think I'm so much fatter. I think I've put on 10 kilos in three days. I don't know how it's happened. Me too. It's bad. I've also been, like, I don't even have a new New Year's resolution. It's just kind of what my New Year's resolution was towards the end of the year.
Starting point is 00:01:20 You know how I was like, oh, I want to cut back drinking. Like, I'm not going to cut it out altogether. I just want to drink less than I do perhaps well I did start drinking less towards the end of the year but oh my god I've really the last two weeks it's just completely undone any progress I made I've just been drunk the whole time really is that a family thing do your family get boozy at Christmas yeah and not necessarily in like a bad way it's, oh, the neighbours have come over, we'll have a drink. Oh, they've left and now, you know, our auntie up the road's come on, I'll have a drink.
Starting point is 00:01:50 And we just realised after all this socialising that they all seem to involve drinking. And I'm like, God, I've got some recovery to do. I'm going to have to do a cleanse or some shit in Sydney when I get back. You've fallen off the wagon. I can almost hear your throat closing up to your poor thing. You've had an allergic reaction, haven't you? Yeah, this is a bit embarrassing. You guys know how
Starting point is 00:02:07 I love my sensory toys, like my squishy stress balls and stuff like that. Oh, don't we ever, yeah. Of course. Turns out that Play-Doh is quite a fun sensory toy as well. My niece and nephew were here over Christmas and I was playing Play-Doh with them. And then I just broke out in this massive rash and all these hives. I couldn't sleep because I was so itchy. And we didn't know what the allergy was at the time, but then it's happened a few more times and we've put it back down to the Play-Doh, which is just imagine trying to explain that to the doctor. Doctor, I need an antihistamine because I'm a grown adult
Starting point is 00:02:37 and I've been playing with Play-Doh. I need some Claritine. He's like, oh, dear, son, you had some Kraft peanut butter. Did you know I played with yellow Play-Doh and it got underneath my fingernails and now I can't breathe properly. Did you see the video? I put it on my TikTok. It was me mixing all the colours together.
Starting point is 00:02:52 It was very impressive. I quite liked it. It was very impressive. You really were asking for it. That's quite horrific. I can't believe you didn't realise this before. You haven't played with Play-Doh as a kid? No, I did, but I never had that problem.
Starting point is 00:03:04 I don't know if it's developed over the years, but, yeah, there you go. No with play-doh as a kid no i did but i never had that problem i don't know if it's developed over the years but yeah there you go no more play-doh for me maybe maybe they added more ingredients to it since then well they must have but the thing is i because i loved it so much when i first started playing with it i was like i've got to get me some of this so i literally click and collected for when i get back to sydney a bunch of play-doh and so now that i've realized i'm allergic i like, what the fuck am I going to do with all this Play-Doh? Oh, no, let's do a Play-Doh giveaway. Instead of leave a review and you get the spaghetti Play-Doh making kit.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Yeah, now that we've run out of mugs and we've still got Red Rooster vouchers for anyone that leaves a review, we'll have to start giving away Play-Doh at some point too. I've got oodles of it. What do I do with it? Also, the people that messaged me before the christmas break about the mugs i got one yesterday saying hi mitch happy new year you still haven't received my mug don't message me now it's in the off season i'll sort your mug in in in due time people want these mugs it's like they're a
Starting point is 00:03:57 fucking oscar award like relax it'll come it's because we put our foot down and said that you have to you have to contact us within a week Of hearing the episode or you don't get the mug So I know one girl, one girl screenshot her original message date And said just FYI I messaged you within the date Then sent me a screenshot of the episode she was mentioned in I'm like alright babe, you're not applying for a fucking
Starting point is 00:04:18 Border permit, it's all good You'll get your mug, relax I don't want to be involved in all the prizing, it sounds very stressful You can look after that. No, that's me. Speaking of the border closures or whatever you just said, aren't you meant to be in Queensland right now? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:33 Oh, I'm meant to be sitting by the pool in the Palazzo Versace, a six-star hotel. Didn't even know they were possible, but they heard I was coming and they added an extra star. I booked well in advance. I had flights and everything organized and uh it's all since been cancelled oh and when did you book it when did you book it we only booked it two days before all the cancellations sorry all the border closures
Starting point is 00:04:58 went into place we're like let's leave it till the last minute and then we did and we're like all right we probably should book now so we booked accommodation and then bloody, you know, plebiscite or whatever the Premier's name is said, everything is closing. You cannot come to Queensland. And we just, yeah, we've had to cancel everything. We got our money back. It was fine.
Starting point is 00:05:17 But yeah. You just haven't had much luck this year with cancellations and stuff. Like Miley cancelled the Melbourne concert that you were going to. Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. Yeah. I the start of sorry last year I should say wait it's 2021 now that was last year oh very true sound like my taxi driver on New Year's Eve he was like I'll see you next year I'm like well you're probably never going to see me again the odds of this happening are very slim but sure make that joke every to every passenger tonight um but
Starting point is 00:05:42 anyway we like we still need to go on a. Let's go down the south coast of Australia. Clear. No one there will have COVID. So we book a hotel at a beautiful resort down in Mollymook, and then we get the notification, Wollongong and the south coast shut down. Confirmed case of COVID cluster in Wollongong. So now the south coast is looking like it's going to get shut down next week.
Starting point is 00:06:02 No. Bloody hell. So you're just going to have to stay at home. Yesterday, Hayden and I didn't know what to do. We had nothing to do. So we went to my parents' house and they even had plans. They couldn't squeeze us into their schedule. So we just sat at home at my parents' house in the air conditioning.
Starting point is 00:06:17 We have nothing to do. What do you do in your spare time? It's so difficult. Well, yeah, I've just been drinking, making TikToks and stuff like that. I'm not sure what's going to happen when I get back to Sydney because I've still got a bit of time before I have to go back to work. I'm not actually sure when I'm going to be able to get back because how ironic is this?
Starting point is 00:06:36 This time in 2019 or start of 2020, I should say, the whole bloody country was on fire and everything was dry and gross because of the drought. Now I'm not sure when I'll be able to come back to Sydney because I may be flooded in. How weird is that? Oh, your poor thing. Your poor parents. What a rollercoaster.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Is their property okay? Oh, yeah. Everything's fine. It's like, it's just the land of extremes. There's this massive storm in parks and it usually takes around three days for all that water to trickle down the lake that goes across like near my farm and so it's the roads nearby it usually takes around three days for them to flood and I'm like oh it's been three days okay great so I'm just waiting waiting and
Starting point is 00:07:17 saying when do you start back at work officially um January 11th I think yeah i start back then as well but my boss called you know our boss kieran who we had on the show yes um he called me the podcast he called me the other day saying he was actually quite angry saying you've been working during your break because i was so bored that i did do a i uploaded a photo, you're meant to be taking time off. Well, he's disciplined me and said, you're not coming back till the 12th. Oh, so he's giving you an extra day off. Yes.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Oh, what a monster. A monster. That never happens. That's ridiculous. That never happens, Jen. That can't be a true story. And then he said he might restrict my access. You don't go to prison and then the prison guard doesn't go,
Starting point is 00:08:06 you know what, you were very good during breakfast this morning. I know you killed 12 children on a school bus, but you can leave today. Go on. You were very good. Get out of here. Go buy yourself something nice. Yeah, go get yourself a nice hat because you've got bodily scars
Starting point is 00:08:21 all over yourself from being attacked in the showers. Go buy a hat or a face mask well done jenna here here's jenna and i rubbing in the fact that we've had all this time off and we've still got even more time up our sleeve mitch didn't you literally work up until new year's like you working on new year's eve yeah i've yeah my holidays have just started like on the the first was my first day of holidays um so i worked right up until yeah new year's eve literally until midnight i worked up i was essentially working in 2021 um and i didn't stop and have any day i had christmas and boxing day off like everything was pre-recorded and then i had to go straight back to work and because there's no one it's
Starting point is 00:09:01 actually more intense yeah we're on skeleton staff i was like that's a compliment the first time i've ever been called thin but i'll take it i'm part of skeleton stuff um so it was just me and one other person the skeleton staff i kept going boo this is actually perfect timing i can't believe this has happened now this is ridiculous yeah i just got a text saying oh your delivery has been your your order has delivered. So you know how you only just went on leave, Mitchell? Yeah. I felt bad for the fact that you'd had no time off and that you were only just starting your holiday.
Starting point is 00:09:31 So I sent a little something. Is it at your house? I just got a text saying it's been delivered. You sent something to my house? Yeah. Oh my God, that's Hayden. Something just got done. No way.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Can you hear my text going off? I can hear it. Hayden says something. Is it the front door? Oh my God. Or am I under pants? I'm going to? I can hear it. Hayden says something. He's at the front door. Oh, my God. I'm in my underpants. I'm going to have to put pants on. I can't believe this has happened now.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I ordered it days ago. That's so weird. I would normally play elevator music during this period. I can edit it. I don't have any to play. All right, edit the elevator music and I'll be right back. Stand by. This is so sweet.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Oh, my God. Oh, I really want to know. I want to know what it is. Yeah, I felt like I needed to do something nice, you know, Jenna. Oh, that's so nice. Hopefully my delivery gets there in time as well.
Starting point is 00:10:17 I can hear his footsteps. Oh my gosh. I'm back! Oh, hello, he's back. What is it? What is it, please? This is, oh my god. What is it? What is it, please? This is... Oh, my God. What is it? This is so exciting.
Starting point is 00:10:29 What is it? Mitchell, this is very sweet. It's a small box the size of maybe a child-sized four-shoe box. And there's a card on top. Should I read it out or is it personal? I don't think it's too personal. You read it out. Okay. It says, happy new year.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Can't wait to start podcasting with you again in 2021 once you're feeling rested. You deserve a break. So take all the time you need. This is very sweet, Mitchell. Do you know what? It's actually hilarious that this is turned up while we're recording. Like, what are the odds of that? You would almost think that I'm some evil genius that I planned this just because I
Starting point is 00:11:02 wanted to look good on this bonus episode. Like, look how nice I am, everyone. I i was gonna let that be just an off-air thing that happened privately between us but there you go it's happened now okay so i've opened it up this is very sweet i'm very this is very nice um this and it's catered to me normally you get these and it's like a donut with 12 kit kats shoved inside it and someone's crushed a twirl and they've put three green m&ms on it. It's like, great. Fancy donut. That's what I thought it was. But no, it's like a little mini DIY charcuterie board.
Starting point is 00:11:29 There's a brie cheese and there's a little Prosecco and there's crackers and there's chocolate. This is very sweet. Yeah, there were lots of options on the website I was looking at and I was just going to do like a chocolate bouquet or something. But I figured, because I don't know about you, I actually have this written on my is it just me list for next year but hey i may as well bash it out now yeah is it just me or does it suck when everyone just gives you chocolate as like a filler present for christmas yes oh i got so much of it and so i i ended up thinking i could send chocolates to
Starting point is 00:12:00 mitch but then i'm like he's probably gotten so much already that i'll send something else and i found that thank god oh guys that is very sweet that's very thoughtful why are you saying guys it was me actually I did have something to do with the gift I picked no Jenna had nothing don't you dare try and take credit oh this is so so sweet I went against the the chocolate thing because I figured that you would have gotten it I got this like you could tell that one of the aunts was like I'm just gonna go buy a that one of the aunts was like, I'm just going to go buy a million boxes of favourites and give them to all the nieces and nephews just as like just so that I've given
Starting point is 00:12:31 them something because I can't actually be bothered. And so we all just got that and then another aunt did the same thing. So I got a Toblerone and I was like, oh, it's just so much chocolate. Yeah, it's too much. I got that much Dara Lee Rocky Road. I could pave a new body highway in Uganda for all those kids. There is that much and I just don't need it. Yeah, it's like it's so nice that you did that.
Starting point is 00:12:50 It's like a nice token gift just to say, yes, I thought that, you know, you mean enough to me that I wanted to give you a gift. But I'm like, just not chocolate. Like what are some alternative filler gifts that people can get? I like a candle. A candle always works well. Love me a candle. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:13:04 I got a wick trimmer. Ooh. What's wrong with scissors? Yeah. Wow. A candle always works well. Definitely a candle. Love me a candle. Definitely. I got a wick trimmer. Ooh. What's wrong with scissors? Yeah. Wow. A what? What's wrong with scissors? Why do you need a wick trimmer?
Starting point is 00:13:13 No, Mitchell, you would love it. It's like perfectly measured and it's long and slender. And, you know, with scissors, the little finger holes are quite close to the blades. The finger holes are right at the end of like a 20 centimeter piece of metal. So like you don't never burn your fingers. You just go straight in and go. They're so good. They're so good.
Starting point is 00:13:31 I've got one as well. It's a dusk one. Yep. That's the one I have as well. Dusk. You know what else? The thing with candles that they're kind of expensive. So I can see why someone would just get a box of chocolates because it's like a nice token and it was only seven bucks.
Starting point is 00:13:43 But you know, another thing that I actually really think is's quite clever one of my uncles every year just gives us all a card with a scratchy in it so it's like you could be a millionaire or not that's good yeah here's the chance but it's your fault if you fuck it up i actually haven't scratched it yet should i scratch it now yes oh my god scratch imagine if you win oh local local bogengate boy who online sensation six years ago wins big while holidaying with family. Yeah, I put all my cards back in my suitcase, so I have to find it.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Where's my scratchy from Uncle Trevor? Get them out. Get them out. This box is very nice, Mitchell. First time I've ever been surprised by a box. But it is very sweet. Thank you. You're welcome.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Enjoy it. I've only just clicked over to holiday mode too. I mean, this is my second day. Yeah, it's kind of perfect. That worked out so well. It did. It was very well timed. The worst thing about Christmas gifts is when they've got Christmas packaging,
Starting point is 00:14:36 so you can't even keep the bastards to re-gift them because they'll know that they were gifted from Christmas. Do you know what I did? I got a bunch of presents for people this year and none of them had Christmas wrapping on it. Remember in our last episode of the season, we did our gift exchange on the show. Did either of you notice any Merry Christmas ho-ho-ho shit?
Starting point is 00:14:56 I gave that to you so that you'd be able to reuse the box. Oh, my God. That is so funny that you say that because Hayden and I just cleaned out all our Christmas stuff. And the only two Christmas presents left under our wonky limp dick tree are for Mitchell and for Jenna. And the box with all your lavender shit in it. So Hayden's like, should we keep this box? I said, yes, we can re-gift that box.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Full circle. See, I told you. And I did the same thing for mum's presents and everyone else's. I got like just generic wrapping paper and generic bags and stuff because I'm like, I appreciate a good bag I can reuse. That is so, so true. That's a level of thoughtfulness that is, yeah, unparalleled. All right, do you have these scratchies?
Starting point is 00:15:32 Yeah, I just found them. Could give you some dramatic music. Hold on, I do have sound effects here, everyone. This is my at-home radio studio. Do you have sound effects in your home studio? Yeah, ready? Just say, all right, I'm about to scratch the scratchy, Mitch. Okay, all right, I'm about to scratch the scratchy, Mitch. Okay, all right, I'm about to scratch the scratchy.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Sorry, wrong one. What was that? Sorry, that's like a... And then the, what about that aeroplane food? It's a symbols. Jenna, why don't you say, I'm just about to stand up. I'm just about to stand up. Oh, there's crickets
Starting point is 00:16:06 falling out of Jenna. That's awful. Wow. Anyway, sorry, Jenna. I don't know what the other buttons do, so I won't play with them. How are you going with that bloody scratchy, Mitchell? I can't find a coin. I don't really carry change anymore. I don't have anything to scratch it with. I'll see if
Starting point is 00:16:22 Ian and Jane have one. So suspenseful. Jane, can I have a coin? I'm going to scratch Trevor's scratchy. Oh, fuck the scratchy. Put Jane on. Put Jane on. We want Jane. We want Jane.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Hey, Mitch. Jane. Hello. Merry Christmas. Season's greetings. I'm here too. Happy New Year. Oh, hi, Jenna.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Happy New Year to you both. Did you have a nice Christmas? Is it nice to have your son back? It is really nice. Ian and I were just talking about this is the longest he's been home, probably since he left home pretty much. Wow. Yeah, I was thinking that.
Starting point is 00:16:56 He's really clinging on. Why doesn't he want to come back to Sydney? That's the big question. Oh, I don't know. Something to do with the unlimited booze and pies and all that sort of stuff. And the Play-Doh that you're poisoning him with. Yeah, I know. How scary is that?
Starting point is 00:17:10 It's awful. He's a real family man, though, I've come to learn. I really didn't think he was, but he loves those little grandchildren and he's really good with the family. He's great. Yeah, he's had a really nice time. And our friend from Sydney, our family friend, came up for the last few days.
Starting point is 00:17:27 So, yeah, it's been so much fun. Oh, that's nice. Jane, are you chopping dinner as we speak? No, that's Mitchell scratching. Oh. Scratching is scratchy. Scratching is scratchy. I thought you were chopping up a cucumber for dinner.
Starting point is 00:17:42 How did he go? What kind of scratchy is it? It's, what is it? Live the life. Oh, well, you get $1,000 a week for five years. Or as Mitchell calls it, one Insta story for Tinder. Yeah, that's it. Something like that.
Starting point is 00:17:59 So how did you guys enjoy your Christmas and New Year? Oh, we had a good break. I've only just gone on holidays on the first. Oh, you've been working. I've just started. Oh, I've been working, but, yeah, I'm back into it now, on holidays now for two weeks, so I'm good. And Jen is sort of right in the middle, yeah?
Starting point is 00:18:16 Yes, I'm right in the middle. So I just got back from Dubbo, so I'm in Sydney now. So I had a nice time there. And, yeah, I go back to work next week. Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, it's sort of nice when you're still, yeah, you're feeling really relaxed and, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:30 you've still got a few more days before you've got to start thinking about going back. It's the best feeling. It's so good. Yeah, but then the dread kicks in. Like, you know, on Sunday nights when you know you have to work the next day and you just can't enjoy the last few hours of Sunday, I feel like that, like the last couple of days of leave,
Starting point is 00:18:47 like it consumes my thought. You should talk to Ian about it. We just had that conversation here two nights ago. Ian said when he lived in Sydney, that's exactly how he felt every Sunday, like get to Sunday lunchtime and the dread would just build up all afternoon. Oh my God, that's exactly how I feel. then that hasn't happened to him here wow see maybe i'm maybe ian and i are kindred
Starting point is 00:19:11 spirits and what that is saying is the world wants me to come and work on your farm i think it does that'd be great that'd suit me fine then i wouldn't have to your grocery bill would go through the roof but hey it'd be good for morale and i'm sure i could re-carry the ill sheep the lame sheep back to good health oh i'm sure you could yeah you should do that sometime we actually should mitch and i have toyed the toy with the idea for for like the last year to do a show from bogengate and come up and see the family and is there a spare room and a big bed with good, strong springs? Good, strong springs.
Starting point is 00:19:47 What are you planning on doing? Oh, God, no, no. It's just for me. Dear God. No, no, no, no, no. Goodness me. No, no, nothing. Nothing of the sort. Scratchy, everyone.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Yeah. Oh, hold on. Mitch has got the scratchy announcement. All right. Thank you, Jane. It was good to see you. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas, Jane.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Yeah. Merry Christmas. All right. There we go. Thanks, Jane. Yeah. No, no. Luck on the scratchy, everyone. Oh, Merry Christmas. All right, there we go. Thanks, Jane. Yeah, no, no, luck on the scratchy, everyone. Oh, no, you won nothing.
Starting point is 00:20:08 No, nothing. Should we call Uncle Trevor live on the podcast and confront him? No, no, I'm not doing that. Where's Ian? Is he out tending the asparagus crops? We don't grow asparagus. We grow wheat and barley and harvest is finished for the year, mate. Asparagus.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Oh, sorry. I don't know.ane where's ian in the shower okay let's not go there let's not go to that let's make ian um farm the most ridiculous things where's ian is he out um farming at some pawpaw ian come to my room after you're done in there some pawpaw. Ian, come to my room after you're done in there. Alright. Well, hopefully we'll be able to catch up with Ian quickly before he has to get back to the agar pan at the crop.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Oh, of course. Yeah, he really needs to because I tell you what, those durian crops, they just dry out overnight like that. I know. And he had no luck last year with the chrysanthemums. No, it was absolutely terrible. And that year that he attempted to do Maraschino cherry crops was horrific.
Starting point is 00:21:10 He made no money. He actually lost money. I did ask him about the Maraschino. I'm going to put him on now. Here you go, Ian. It's Mitch and Jenna. Hello, guys. How are you?
Starting point is 00:21:18 Hi. Hello, Ian. Happy New Year. Merry Christmas. Season's greetings. All that. Likewise to both of you. Did you both have a good Chrissy?
Starting point is 00:21:25 Christmas was very nice. With the family, Jenna? Yeah, in Dubbo. So it was so nice. In Dubbo? I didn't know you were from Dubbo. Yeah, my whole family's there, so I went there. Oh, very cool.
Starting point is 00:21:37 How far is Dubbo from Bogangate? Oh, a couple of hours. We talk in time. Like up here, we normally talk in kilometres, but I talk in time because I know that's what you guys understand very true how are the um how the aloe vera crops going in yeah yeah fantastic mate yeah the aloe vera is jumping out of its skin down here they were all the way we're getting yeah yeah jesus you would have had to lather your son up after that um after that plato in it would have been inflamed all his body yeah i know but anyway like
Starting point is 00:22:04 we should have grabbed some of our aloe vera and put that on there, shouldn't we? Oh, yeah. Maybe that would have helped. Oh, well, good. How's the property? Everything nice? Oh, yeah, fantastic, mate.
Starting point is 00:22:13 There's weeds growing everywhere like you wouldn't believe. So starting tomorrow or the next day, I'll be out spraying, trying to get rid of all those weeds so we can prepare the ground for next year's crops. And what crop are you doing? Mitch is saying that you're planning on doing corn crops. Yeah, that'd be right. Yeah, we're going to do corn.
Starting point is 00:22:31 We can grow a lot of corn out here. There's a big market for corn. I'm sure there is. Probably not here, though. Oh, probably not, yeah. If I were you, I'd do pawpaw. That's just me. Well, we'll look into it anyway and see how the numbers stack up.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Yeah, I can get my people to send you some documents. Yeah, we'll get them to send over to my people, yeah. Yeah, your people, yes. We will, we will. I think we're going to come up and visit sometime this year, which would be nice to finally meet and have a beer. That'd be very nice. I'd enjoy that.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Oh, good. That'd be good. Love to see you both. Anyway, well, put your son back on and don't touch him. Okay, I'll put him back on and I'll try not to touch him in this process. See you guys. All the best. Thank you, Ian.
Starting point is 00:23:13 See you. Merry Christmas. See you. Bye. There we go. All right. That's very sweet. Oh, we love your parents.
Starting point is 00:23:20 So you won nothing on the scratchy? No, nothing off the scratchy. No luck. But hey, it's surely 2021 is only up from here. True, true. Amen. Are we all feeling good? I mean, look, for those listening now, you've got a great year full of podcasts.
Starting point is 00:23:33 Podcasts. And oh my God, I have to say very quickly, we went through McDonald's drive-thru with my dad the other night. And guess how he pronounced aioli? How? Oh God, I hate to think. This is a mispronunciation on the fly. He went, hi love. Yeah. What do you want, Mitch? I'll get you one of those pronounced aioli. How? Oh, God, I hate to think. This is a mispronunciation on the fly. He went, hi, love.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Yeah. What do you want, Mitch? I'll get you one of those chicken aioli wraps. Oh, one of those chicken areola wraps, please, sweetheart. Oh, that's not even close. No, he did not. Not even close. That's the brown skin around the outside of a nipple.
Starting point is 00:24:00 No. Yes, we are. We just wanted to pop in for a quick Happy New Year's episode for you guys. This isn't the start of Season 3. It's just a little bonus thing on the end of Season 2. But, hey, we'll start Season 3 eventually. One day. I feel I really am excited for this year.
Starting point is 00:24:15 We have a lot planned. There's a lot coming up. And, actually, we want you guys to be more involved than you were last year for Season 1 and Season 2. If we want to start doing essentially more, is it just use which we've done before, but if you guys have one, if you're not part of our secret Facebook group,
Starting point is 00:24:31 enduring idiots, people are posting that. Is it just use like almost daily? We're getting a lot that are coming through. It's quite cute actually, because we, we, we often get people like last in the past,
Starting point is 00:24:42 we've gotten people on the phone, but sometimes people find that a bit daunting. So they don't want to do it. So they're right in the Facebook group, but what we might get people to last, in the past, we've gotten people on the phone, but sometimes people find that a bit daunting, so they don't want to do it. So they write it in the Facebook group. But what we might get people to do instead is send, which obviously, feel free to keep doing that. Yeah. If you want to post your, is it just me's in the Facebook group, go right for it.
Starting point is 00:24:57 They're really interesting. But if there's any good ones, if there's any really good ones from now on, we're going to start hitting you up and saying, oi, send us a voice message. So then we just play the voice message on the show and discuss we don't need to come on the phone but hey we're still open to calls as well that's a good idea dm it to any of us we have access to a studio we'll record it in then we'll play it on the podcast um but please forgot i mean i have one come through the group chat and someone said is it just me or are the tops of muffins the best part of muffins that's not your your thought. That's been – everyone thinks that.
Starting point is 00:25:27 That's been around for years. People are plagiarising. Is it just me? Well, I don't actually mind the bit on the bottom of the muffin that's kind of gone a little bit soggy because of the paper, like after you peel it off. I love that part. Oh, my God, yes.
Starting point is 00:25:41 A bit wrinkly, you know? Yeah. Well, maybe the tops gravitate to the top and the bottoms to the bottoms. Am I right, Jenna? Oh, my God, yes. A bit wrinkly, you know? Yeah. Well, maybe the tops gravitate to the top and the bottoms to the bottoms. Am I right, Jenna? Oh, gosh, not sure. Anyway, what we're saying is we want everyone listening to be involved with the show even more than they already have been in the last season.
Starting point is 00:25:57 So is it just me as coming in the group? And feel free to slide into our DMs with a voice message or we can get you on the phone. We're very excited for what's to come this season and we love you. We miss you. We hope you're having a safe holidays, sort of Christmas period, the new year period.
Starting point is 00:26:13 And we have a lot of listeners overseas. And in Australia, we're very lucky. COVID is, I mean, it's sort of coming back, but it's nowhere near what it is in the States and over in Europe. So if you're a listener over there, we're thinking of you. We love you.
