Hi, it's Mitch and Mitch here. Now while we enjoy a little break over Christmas and New Year's, our third wheel Jenna, who's here with us every week, is going to be soldiering on as a one woman show. Yeah, it could be awkward. It could be great. Let's see. This is The Jenna Fling. Hello and welcome to episode three of The Jenna Fling.

Today we have two guests, Callum. Hello. And we have Steph. Hi. You might remember them from the moderator games. They were both successful and they moderate our secret Facebook group. How are you doing with that? I like it, but I have a little joy in denying people that don't answer the question. I love that. Oh, that's so true. Thank you so much. Well, we have a great mentor, I'd say, so we learn it from you. Oh, thank you so much. I really appreciate that. But let's move on to the top five. So if you've listened to previous episodes of IJM, you would

know that Mitchell Coombs likes to do a top five of things. So today's show is ultimately going to be produced by Callum and Steph. So what are we doing today? Well, Steph and I have been chatting off the cloud, and we thought ever since we heard about your cat nails, Jenna, we could get your opinion on the top five cats. What a beautiful idea. I love that so much.

It's like an Indian classic. We're doing our top five. We're talking about your cat nails and cats. Perfect, perfect. I just wish you both were here in the studio with me. Oh, I know. We make do in these times, don't we? Exactly, exactly.

So let's get on to it. Let's start. All right, so I've got the list here with me that Steph and I have been chatting about. I figured we'll go through each one and then at the end we'll rank them all. Or Jenna, you can rank them because we'd love to hear your input. Of course. Number one, I thought I'd start with the cat that you're very familiar with. One that you've spent a lot of time with and have gotten to know really well.

It's the great sphinx of Giza in Egypt. Oh, yes, yes. Oh, so many memories. So many memories. That is a great one. Yeah, we thought we'd touch back to your roots, Jenna, and found someone you loved. I really did love.

I loved them so much. Sorry, I'm getting a bit teary here, but great, great, great choice. Lovely. I love it. Our next one, we've got Hello Kitty. I think, Steph, you had a bit to say about Hello Kitty. Hello Kitty is my all-time fave cast ever. You can fight me, Jenna.

I want Hello Kitty to be number one. But let's talk about how diverse she is. Let's do that. Now, she's never aged. She has many, many flawless costumes. She's international. And she has beauty products to help you smell and look amazing just like she does. Wow, wow, wow, wow.

You've got me there. That is a good one. Do you remember when there used to be Hello Kitty stores? Yes. Oh, that was the best. Or like the Sanrio, just everything. Yes.

I mean, there's even Hello Kitty jelly beans. That's how amazing she is. My god. You make a strong case. I mean, I'm second guessing what my number one was. She's very good. She is very good. Remember Jenna in Dislife when you were in high school

and every girl used to wear like impulse just to smell nice? Yes, I do remember that. Remember the Hello Kitty bubblegum one? Oh, that was actually my personal favourite. Even talking about it, I can smell it. I can too! That is a great one! Oh my god! Callum, you have to do a bit better. You're right. Well, my personal favourite, our next cat

is someone who I connect with because he's quite lazy. The classic Garfield. Oh, yes, Garfield. A classic. Very relatable. The king of the newspaper comics, you know, epitome of laziness. What else does he love?

Eating, coffee, lasagna. Who doesn't love lasagna these days? True. I know. Hates Mondays and he hates diet. I mean, need I say more? He's one of us. He's one of us. He's Mondays and he hates diet. I mean, need I say more? He's one of us. He's one of us.

He's pretty much describing all our idiots. Oh, yes, yes. And I mean, especially the two main idiots who aren't on this show. Yep. Good one. Jury. Yes. That is a very, very good one.

Garfield. I wouldn't have picked that. But now, no, I'm rethinking this list. Wow. That's true. Well, speaking of the other idiots on this show. Yes. I did get a cease and desist slash threat in the mail if I didn't include her.

Clever girl, Isabella. Oh, clever. Yes, she is a clever girl. I must give you that. I do love her. Oh, she. Yes, she is a clever girl. I must give you that. She's so clever. Oh, she's so gorgeous. And when Mitchell puts up the videos of her and she's talking in alien tongues or something, it just makes my heart melt.

Alien tongues, you say? No, she's making perfect sense to me. So don't. Oh, I'm so sorry. I haven't had a translator on hand or on paw. Sorry. Yes, on paw, on paw. Oh, that's totally fine.

Right. And our last one, which I think arguably was number one, is Dear Little Connie. Oh, my con-con. Dear Little Connie. We couldn't not include her in this five, but where are you going to rank her is the real question. Oh, yes. Exactly. Very good point. Oh, but where are you going to rank her is the real question. Oh, yes.

Exactly. Very good point. Oh, but she is beautiful. Decision winner. Oh, okay. This is tough. Okay. So we've got Egyptian Sphinx from my past.

We've got a whole lot of history there. We have Hello Kitty. We have Garfield. Clever Isabella. And the cutie pie Connie. Okay. This is tough. Like, I don't like ranking my fellow cats, but a cat's got to do what a cat's got to do.

So true. And my team's Jenna. Yes. I have a story. Do you think, Jenna? Yes. I have a story. So I can tell this story to distract you while you make your final decision.

Please. Yes, yes. Please do so. All right. Okay. Listeners, me and Callum have been talking on the cloud for some time because he is absolutely amazing and he's so good to talk to. Very open-minded and lovely. And we were talking about, like,

segments we could do for Jenna's, you know, side project. And all the ideas I came up with were similar to Ijem. So we were trying to find what's something unique. And one thing that came up was like, what's something that you learned as an adult that you should have known when you were younger? And I told Callum that it wasn't until like probably 2013, I found out that cats actually don't have nine lives.

Oh my God. Yeah, when she told me, I was like, oh, death, love. No. No one told me. No one said, oh, that's a myth. And I was at dinner with my friend and she was telling me that her cat had an accident. I'm like, oh, well, how many lives has she got left?

Is this her first one that she's gone? Oh, my God. And she was like, are you fucking kidding me? I was like, what? What's wrong? So you're walking around putting tallies on these different cats that you see in public? Yes. Oh, my God.

This is the best story ever. So then our love of cats and that story led us to this segment. It's the best segue I've ever heard. That is beautiful. Brilliant. Nine lives. I'm glad my voice amuses you, Jenna. That is the best.

Oh, thank you so much for sharing that. That has brought me so much joy. Alrighty. Jenna, how's your ranking going? Oh, gosh. Okay, okay, okay. The ranking's been difficult, but we'll give it a go. All right, all right. A team. Let's go from five to one.

Of course, of course. Okay. In fifth place, I'm going to choose Garfield. Ooh, okay. Yes. He was higher up for me, but... Yes, still a great choice. Still a very good choice.

These five are probably my top five cats. So, fantastic choice, but apologies to Garfield. Fifth place. Now to fourth place. This was very, very difficult. But I had to give it to Isabella. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Isabella.

This would have been completely different if you hadn't have given me such good points. Like if you'd just given me the names of these cats, it would be a completely different order. But after, you know, Steph talking about Hello Kitty, it really, really brought back memories, changed everything. Surely, it pushed everything down, did it? Yeah, it did. It did. So, well done, Steph.

You should get into history debating. Okay, so so, so hard. this is very difficult third place just me i'm still considering i'm still considering um third place i'm going to give it to the one, the only, Hello Kitty. I know, I know. Oh my God. It was tough.

It was very tough. After your amazing statements and you truly, honestly, if you'd just given me the names of these five, Hello Kitty probably would have come last. But after everything you were saying, no, Hello Kitty has moved up come last. But after everything you were saying, no. Hello Kitty has moved up the ranks. Oh, my God. You've got a career in there. Good, good.

I can handle a third place. Hello Kitty is great. It's great. And it brought back so many memories of going to the Hello Kitty store, the Hello Kitty deodorant, all of it, the Impulse, everything. Maybe we need a Hello Kitty rash shirt collab. Oh, my God. Yes.

Callum, you have come up with gold. Thank you. You know, because Hello Kitty seems to have everything, like Steph was saying. I don't remember a Hello Kitty rash shirt. I think we can make that happen. I am going to make that happen. Billabong is on the phone

right now. Billabong, can you hear me? Okay. No, that is a great idea. Hello Kitty Rash shirt's writing that down. Thank you so much Callum. Now back on to the second ranking. Okay. I'm nervous.

I'm like giddy. I know. I am too. So it's between my little con-con, Connie, and my history with the Egyptian Sphinx. Well, your first love, really. It was. It was. It was my first love.

So many memories. Some traumatic, others beautiful. We won't go into much detail. I remember reading something about that in the Smithsonian. Yes, yes, yes. Page 312, I think it was. Right, yes. Lots of memories.

Good memory, Jenna. Okay, so in second place, I'm going to give it to the good old Sphinx, which means first place goes to the one, the only, Connie. You're on, Connie. My Connie. She comes first. How could you not? I know.

So first place, Connie. Second, the good old Sphinx. Oh, memories. Goodness me. Third, it was Hello Kitty. Fourth, Isabella. Fifth, Garfield. The top five cats.

Thank you so much. No, thank you so much for giving me these names of cats. I mean, I've had... Do you have an honourable mention? Oh, my God, yes. Please go on. Yeah, I've got... Do you have an honourable mention? Oh, my God, yes. Please go on. Yeah, I've got a few in my honourable mentions list. Oh, yes.

If anyone's listening and upset that their favourites weren't mentioned, here's a little spot for them. Brilliant. So, Cat in the Hat was one of those. Oh, good one. Good one. I felt he was a bit too manic, really, to go in the top five, but it's all right.

True. Good one, though. to go in the top five, but it's all right. True. Good one, though. This one I almost put in, but I was tossing back and forth. Grumpy Cat. Ooh, Grumpy Cat. Very, very good. Meanworthy. I like it.

We've got Salem from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Oh, Salem. Wasn't he the greatest? Oh, he was good. He was so funny. He made that show. Oh, yeah, I know. And you see so many clips of him now.

Like, it's carried on. Exactly, exactly. Well said. We had Puss in Boots from Shrek. Oh, with those eyes. Yes, what a cute. Little booty. Oh, so cute.

I love Puss in Boots. Good one. Second last, we had Tom from Tom and Jerry. Oh, yes. A classic. A classic right there. Good one. And the last one, I thought we should go big for the Honourable Mentions as well.

So I went for a big cat. And it's the tiger that Carol Baskin fed her husband to. Oh, that is a beautiful choice. I'd say the top of the honourable mentions would be that one. I would say exactly that. That is number one for honourable mentions. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. And very out of the box.

I like it. I do too. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Jenna. I had so much fun with you guys. Please join me whenever you want. Hopefully the Jenna Fling continues and I would love to have you back on. Can I just also add? Of course.

To all the listeners that are like hmm, Hello Kitty should have been higher. Yes. I'm just going to also mention that Avril Lavigne has a song called Hello Kitty. Really? That's so true. Her impact. My god, what an icon.

Iconic. Mm-hmm. Iconic right there. Thank you so much for bringing that up. Avril Lavigne, shout out if you're listening. Great song, Hello Kitty. So, yeah, thank you so much for joining me on the Jenna Fling. I hope you had a great time.
