This is, Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of, ahem, misfits. Who? Oh, hello you. Ah, fuck, that's right, we're one Mitch down, aren't we? So, this week, for the next two episodes, you've got Mitchell and the misfits. So let's say hello you to roving reporter Oscar and contraceptive diaphragm Sam. Welcome back. Hello.

Hello. We're here. If you did listen to the Misfits during our June break, it was Oscar, Sam and Jenna. I am now a Misfit. Yay. I've been inaugurated. Welcome Misfit Mitch. It's so good to have you.

Thank you. Honestly. It's an honour for you, I'm sure. It always is, darling. Yes, I must apologise to our idiots for leaving you in the lurch last week. I just decided to stay on at Bougainvillea a bit longer. Yeah, that's all right. And now Turi and Jenna are off on their little radio holidays.

They get a certain amount of weeks per year. So they're on holidays and I thought, fuck, I've got to pull something together. And here we are. Mitchell and the Misfits. Yay! It's like a play on Josie and the Pussycats. Who? Oh, it's an 80s cartoon.

Who and the what? Josie and the Pussycats. Never heard of them. Oh, well, go and watch it, doll. It's good. What the fuck would you know about 80s cartoons? I don't know. I fell down a rabbit hole one day and I just ended up on Josie and the Pussycats.

And I got confused because I thought it was Josie and the Pussycat Dolls. So, I was expecting- That's where my mind went. Yeah, I was expecting, don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like, you know what I mean? None of that. It was just cats. Not the musical, I hope. No.

I've got to ask, what do you guys think of my penthouse? You've seen it before, Mitch or Jenna. We're live from the penthouse, are you? We're live from the penthouse. The penthouse is gorgeous. Thank you. Definitely an upgrade. I've got to say, either just me on the fly, is having stairs a huge inconvenience?

Oh, so, no, no, no. Every place I've lived in in Sydney has had the narrowest stairs possible. Oh, I've been to those ones where it's like a spiral ladder. They're so narrow. Yeah. I've inspected those places and gone, nah, no chance. You just have to basically like pull apart every item of furniture to get them up.

Yeah. Because you just, there is no physical way of doing it. My brother's a labourer too, so watching him trying to like navigate it, and I'm like, fuck, I don't think it's you, not me, chook. My stairs are quite spacious. The problem is that I'm just lazy as fuck. Yeah, that is a problem. So I was trying to find a spot to put my keys because when I first moved in,

I kept losing them. I didn't have like a designated key bowl. And so when I had to leave the house, I was like, where the fuck are my keys? And it was a real internal battle. I'm like, do I put them upstairs or downstairs? Because what if I'm upstairs and need to leave the house, then I have to run down or vice versa.

So I was like, what if I put a hook halfway up the stairs? So in either case, I don't have to walk that far. Honestly, it's a lazy woman's dream. Or if I have to take something downstairs, like to the washing basket or something, I'll put them by the stairs because I'm like, I've got to make the one trip count. I'm not walking downstairs for one thing.

I've got to load up. You know what I mean? It's just so much more to deal with. I miss my p downstairs for one thing. I've got to load up. You know what I mean? I've got to load up. It's just so much more to deal with. I miss my piddly one better apartment. Do you know what? I miss it too for obviously our memories. Which we won't speak of. Now, listen, if you are new here and it's your first time listening, this is the drill. Every episode we start with an is it just me each, which is something we've noticed, hate or appreciate.

My idjim has to do with your future career objectives, Oscar. I've got it all mapped out. Call me your manager Mitchell. That's exciting. Misfit manager Mitchell. Misfit manager Mitchell. Triple M. Triple M.

Rock, sport and frigging comedy. That's me. Rock, sport, comedy and fucking chooks What about you guys? What have you got? You've got one prepared, surely Oh, yeah, I guess No, I've got one prepared Mine's actually

Mine's quite general, I feel That's a shit hook, bub No, no It's general Well, no, I just feel like everyone can relate to it You know, like it doesn't just necessarily apply to one person. But what if the answer is, is it just me? And we say, yes, it is just you.

It's not that relatable. But then I'll fucking just talk about it because I love talking about myself. Fair enough. Sam, what have you got? Have you got a good hook in you? Let me think. Oh, we don't have all night. No, I don't.

Okay. No, do you know what? I refuse to move on. We're in no rush. No, we aren't in a rush. No, I don't. Okay. No, do you know what? I refuse to move on. We're in no rush. No, we are in a rush, actually. Think of a good hook. Go. Okay.

And by the way, I just thought of that on the spot. I had not prepared my hook. No. Okay, hang on. Wait, I think I have it. Oh, good. Okay. All right.

Do I get like a drum roll or something? No. I'll just Google it. All right. Yeah. Okay. I'll Google a drum roll. That's fine.

It gives me more time to think. Drum roll. Fucking token strike, man. Hang on. okay That's fine It gives me more time Fucking token straight man Hang on Where it's loading There you go Any Australian Corporate slut Will absolutely

Relate to this That's way better Thank you Thank you Oh I like that I like that Yeah Well done Sam

Yeah that's gorgeous And for you, Oscar? Well, mine's about why I'm having a fucking awful time this time of year, honestly. Perfect. So good. It's why it's my most fucking hated time of year. Great. I'm going to selfishly kick things off.

Oh, good. Yeah, go on. Hit us. Are we ready, Misfits? Yeah. Let's go, Bradley. Come on, Braddles. Is it just me or?

Should they just fucking get Gretel Colleen back on Big Brother? Oh, absolutely. Yes, please. Like, stop fucking about. I don't care if she's old and grey. She's embraced the grey hair. It's quite gorgeous, actually. She looks fantastic.

Yeah, she could do the bottle blonde, but she's like, nah, I'm going grey. And it's beautiful. I love Gretel. So, Gretel Colleen was the original host of Big Brother in Australia in the heyday when it was live. Yep. Yep. The nominations.

It was on every fucking night of the week. Everything. All of it. Yeah, yeah. It was very, like, pioneering at the time. It was, like, pre-social media. Yes. It was all pre-social media.

And it's not like reality shows today where they make them do elaborate shit like climb mountains and eat insects and shit. They just sat around and talked shit. And it was so fascinating. It was so- So fascinating. I still remember that first season. And like, I couldn't tell you who was on it.

But at the same- Well, you don't remember it that well, do you? I don't, no. I don't remember it that well because I wasn't like an avid watcher. But my favorite thing about it, even as a child- Because I was in primary school when that shit came out yeah like i because i i was i was very young chukin the only name i was a chick i was a chick i was a chick on so to speak but i i just the only name that sticks out to me in the earlier seasons is this woman named

crystal and i just remember she was fucking awful oh i remember crystal i just remember she was awful but do you remember chrissy swan? Yes. A lot of people don't realise that's where Chrissy Swann, beloved Australian broadcaster, got her start. I had no idea. Yeah, Chrissy Swann started it. I'm actually very ashamed of that. Yeah, Chrissy Swann got her first start on Big Brother. I still remember the scene of her and Reggie on the banana lounges

by the pool of a night just bitching about men. And it was so raw and it was so fascinating. And honestly, I look back at it and to think I now do the same thing. But honestly, the best part of that was Gretel Colleen, the host. And this week they announced they're bringing back Big Brother. Yes, they did. Because they flirted with Channel 7 for a couple of years, but it was bullshit. They stripped the format.

It wasn't live. It was pre bad. They stripped the format. It wasn't live. It was pre-recorded in a shed. Yeah. You couldn't vote for anyone. It was all pre-recorded. It was just a bunch of fuckwits in a shed playing games, and that's how they scored points. It was just a bit Big Brother meets Survivor and Ninja Warrior.

It wasn't good. And a little bit of Love Island on there as well. Yeah. Because, like, for some reason, like, all the reality shows, they just want you to basically be hot, which is why none of them called me back but like it's like yeah a mix of all that with Love Island because it was just absolutely fucking

dumb hot people who had nothing to say. They just all sat around like They weren't real people like Reggie from the fish and chip shop like back in the day. And so they're bringing back OG Big Brother. It was announced last week. Channel 10 made such a point of it being like, no, we're going to make it just like the good old days.

Yeah, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. However, my Gretel is not returning as the host. I'm devastated. They've got Mel Tracina, who, by the way, no beef. I rate her so hard. Oh, yeah, same. She's from the cheap seats. Those that watch the cheap seats, it's like a bit niche.

Like, those that watch it love it. They certainly love Mel Trisina. Yeah. But there were a lot of comments being like, who? Yeah, dead set. But I feel like no one knew who Gretel was when she started. And that's how she absolutely made her mark. I've got a couple of Gretel's best bits.

Can I just play? Please, please, please, please. I do. So, I'm just going to prove why I love Gretel so much. And by the way, some of our idiots might have heard this story before, but I wrote fan mail to Gretel Killeen. Did you? Did you?

Yeah. I wrote a full letter. I didn't know that. That's adorable. Being like, hi, Gretel. Big Brother's my favourite show. I don't know what to do with myself when it's not on. And I wrote it in texta and I put it in an envelope and mum and dad had to say to me

we don't know her address mate we can't send it but fast forward to now and I know for a fact they could have googled her management and they could have made an effort but they were just like nah the letter's going nowhere. Jane and Ian do better. But I fell in love with Gretel because it was live and dangerous

the original Big Brother right? And fuck ups happened and she coped beautifully. There was just a certain stillness and calmness about her. Yeah. Even when things went tits up. Do you remember Merlin? No. Was that the guy that came out with, like, the tape on Mr. Mouse?

Yes. Yeah. So, Oscar, you didn't see this? I don't think so. It's not ringing any bells, but I'm very intrigued. Oh, you're too young for it. Fuck, we're old, see? I know. Yeah. So, Merlin was young for it. Fuck, we're old. I know.

Yeah. So, Merlin was evicted from the Big Brother house. Right. And in typical fashion, they walk down the big runway. They come out of the house, walk onto the stage. Gretel interviews them. They get some prizes. Off they fuck.

Right. Merlin, as he got on stage to go down the catwalk, he pulls out a bit of tape from his pocket, sticky tapes his mouth, and then pulls out a sign that says, free the refugees. Yeah. Oh. And Gretel was like, my fuck. We're live. I've got a five-minute segment to fill.

Right. And this clown's got tape on his mouth. Wow. And, like, Merlin, beautiful moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, very powerful statement. We're still talking about it to this day. Yeah, very powerful statement.

But also, God, he was always so fucking weird on that show. He was always a weirdo, I've got to say. And so Gretel already had an uphill battle, even if he had the tape off his fucking mouth. And then she's like, oh, Jesus Christ, he's taped his mouth. What am I going to do with this five minutes? But she coped beautifully. Oh, right.

So this is as Merlin walks on stage. She's spotted the tape, spotted the sign. Merlin. Merlin. Are you going to speak? Shush. Shush. The way she yells at the crowd.

Shush. Shush. The way she yells at the crowd. Shush! Everybody sit down and be quiet. That's like my mother. Merlin, can I ask you a simple mathematical question? This segment is five minutes. Are you going to speak at all? What else do you want? We've got business to do. I'm sure we've all had plenty of time to absorb Merlin's message, which is a valid message and, may I say, a good opportunity to express it. Well done. Very good.

And now I will fulfil some of my obligations, which are to present the prizes. Settle down, settle down, settle down. Come on, this is not a situation about booing or cheering. This is about moving right along. I'd like to talk, strangely enough, about the lovely Rainbow Watch, the two, three phones and the holiday that it looks like I'll be enjoying. So thank you very much. Oh, I love her. So obviously it's part of her job to give Merlin the prizes.

And he goes, wow, a free holiday, two, three mobile flip phones. How exciting. And she's like, I've got to do these client obligations. Yeah. But this guy won't react. So, I'll just get them done. She threw to a break and then she came back and spoke to the house. She had five minutes to fill and she did it like a pro.

God, honestly, the one phrase that's still from that that has just stuck with me is, let's get to business. Quiet, there's business to do. Yeah, business to do. Oh, I love that. I love that. I love her. She handled that brilliantly.

As you'd expect. As you would expect. I like to think that my Mel Tracina, who I also am highly fond of, would cope, but I just think that they're trying to bring it back for nostalgia reasons. Yeah. Fucking go hard. Bring Gretel back.

Bring Gretel back. Do it properly. They give Sonia Kruger every fucking job. I know. Then she gets nominated for a third fucking gold logie in a year. Oh, I know. Like, bring back my Gretel Colleen. She's not done much since The Masked Singer, when she went off first.

So, she also had a moment on Big Brother where there was a blackout. Oh. Oh, this I remember. So she was on stage. You know how I've got all the screens behind them? Yeah. The screens went black and then the panic in her eyes set in only a little bit, only a little bit because it's Gretel and she can handle it.

And she just had to wing it basically, but she winged it beautifully during a fucking blackout. Oh, that's our Gretel. Okay, well, we'll leave them to spend a day and a night wondering what it will feel like to have a million dollars. And in the meantime, I shall just ask Big Brother a simple question. Have we lost transmission? Good. They're going, so I guess I'll just make the rest up.

Rightio. Oh, now these... Wait'll just make the rest up. Rightio. Now, these... Wait, just wait one second. Good. The earpiece. Wait a minute. Everyone in my head, please be quiet. I am now going to give you the phone numbers

for our two finalists in the Big Brother house. I do remember this. I mean, it's so relatable. Like, I mean, I've done gigs where mics and shit have cut off completely or I've forgotten a lyric and I go, I'm just going to make this shit up. It's very relatable. Can the voices in my head please be quiet? I'm pretty sure I said that earlier today.

Literally. Do you reckon that they've asked Gretel and she's just gone, nah, there's no way. Be quiet. I'm pretty sure I said that earlier today. Literally. Do you reckon that they've asked Gretel and she's just gone, nah, there's no way you're getting me back on that show? I don't think so because she has not had no work since The Masked Singer. No, true. She pops up on Weekend Sunrise as like a panelist. She's been in our show opener. Has she?

Yeah, she's the one that I clapped back at the old guy that said, Scott Morrison's the best prime minister we've ever had. She goes, oh, really? Well, good, though. But she pops up on Weekend Sunrise and they asked her outright when they were bringing Big Brother back, would you do it? And she didn't rule it out. So I feel like she's open to it and she was proud of the show

and, you know, how pioneering it was. Of course. It was basically one big TikTokiktok live we all just were glued to it to be like what are these ordinary humans gonna do next that's like the best way you could have ever put it like now the reason i said that this is your future career objective oscar is because is it just me on the fly should oscar apply for big brother please please do this fucking perfect please you have to do this. Oh, my God. Okay. So, when it got announced, I'm not joking, my DMs were flooded.

Really? Yeah, yeah. Like, friends, idiots. Sean texted me while he was at work. He goes, did you see the Big Brothers coming back? And also, don't you think that Oscar would be perfect? Well, he messaged me and he said, let me be the first to tell you that you should be on it. And I said, I'm so sorry, you're actually the seventh person to tell me I should be on it.

Sean. Sorry, we're in the penthouse. Sean. Yeah. Come up. Tell Oscar why he should be on Big Brother. Hi, Sean. Hi, Sean.

Oscar. Yes. Hello. Hi. Hi. Yeah, you should absolutely be on Big Brother. Yeah. Because you will be undeniably a fan favourite.

So entertaining, so funny. You are a producer's wet dream. Honestly, Sean, it can go one of two ways for me. I'm either voted out first or I'm in the top two, but I've stabbed a lot of people in the back to get there. Like, you know, I've gotten there because the public love me, but I'm going to be nominated every fucking week. And in either case, whether you're booted off first or last,

you'll end up with a breakfast radio gig at Sarah Femming Bendigo. It's a win-win. I know. Do you know what? I reckon I should do it. I feel like you don't start drama, but you always find yourself surrounded by it. So I think you'd be – It would never be your fault, but you'll just be in the middle of everything.

That's so true because I'm not actively looking for it, but it just happens to find me. Yeah. Well, I can't wait to watch. All right. I'll start my application. Thank you, Sean. I did apply for them like years ago. My friend and I were really drunk one night and we thought it'd be

really dumb to just apply for big brother and it's actually a lot of hoops to jump through because mitch and i applied for jenna to be on it as a surprise for her yeah we filled it out for her and fuck it took us ages to do the application it's and then you have to get through to a group audition yes and then a second group audition and then another one-on-one audition it's a lot of hoops to jump through but you can jump through hoops like the best of them talk. I'll tell you what, is it just me on the fly? But with all the hoops and yet they still cast duds?

Do you know what I mean? Like, because that's not reality television in general that you jump through so many hoops, but like you think about the hoops that they jump through and then you look at the final cast and how fucking boring they are. And you're like, really? Because i'm definitely not the most interesting person in the world but there are no one's ever suggested that really is it just me you can follow the show online just search couple of mitches if you don't you're a little bitch. Okie doke, I've done my idjim. You two, scissors, paper, rock this shit.

Who's going to go first? Okay, hang on. Contraceptive diaphragm, Sam versus Roving Reporter, Oscar. Scissors, paper, rock. Oh, there are two scissors. Scissors, paper, rock. Oh, my God. Two rocks.

Are you fucking serious? We're very in sync. We're very in sync. Okay, scissors, paper, rock. Oh, my God. Two rocks. Are you fucking serious? We're very in sync. We're very in sync. Okay. Scissor, paper, rock. Oh, Sam won. Paper over rock wins every time. Sammy, what do you got?

Is it just me or... Is working retail just not actually enough money to live in Sydney? Oh, my God. Is it not? You're both here. Well, I mean, define be alive. Because, you know. I wouldn't know. Yeah, I feel like that I'm, because today I'm a shell of a human being.

Actually, because Sam's just started a new job for idiots that don't know. That's why we're doing the night shift. He was a freelancer in Bellingham. But now, am I allowed to say? No. No? No. Oh, my God. I'm so sorry you can't say. Okay, am I allowed to say? No. No? No. Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry you can't say. Okay. Well, he works for a company. He's Gina Reinhart's PA. We're not allowed to say where he works in retail. But wait, do they not pay you much? I would have thought, where you work? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It'd be like, not shit. It's not like you're at Macca's. No, it's not good. It's like basic award. Oh, is it basic? Oh, yeah. Okay. What does that mean?

It's like the bare minimum. Really? Yeah, because I've been working – I've never had a real job. I've been working in corporate for so long, and I've always got that thing of like, we really value diversity and inclusivity, and we really take care of our people. Oh, they hammer the company values, don't they? Oh, they love the value. And the company values are coming from all a bunch of old white men.

So, do you know what? Like great diversity values that we have there, surely. So, after all of that, you would think that I would be burnt out to absolute death. You've only been there not two weeks, bub. Yeah, give it a month. But I love retail. People are nice what yeah oh no they're not but i'm excited because i get to talk to people every day and people are fucked yeah oh my god i could have fucking told you that hello but i feel like that's kind of the weirdly the

best part about it because every other corporate world if you anyone that works as a corporate girly it's always those things you sit in the meetings and they all kind of hold hands and they talk about their you know how they're always going to be inclusive and they come by us but any corporate job they're always going to talk about the like they have their values and every single time it's all the things that they're terrible at. Have you found that when people walk in, because we're men, that they feel like they can be a bit more, like, heinous and harsh towards you? I think so. Because I've had some horrific things said to me by people. Go on.

That they would never. Well, one woman asked me if I had AIDS. No. How did she know? I don't know. Oh, my God. I think her husband might have told her. I don't know.

But, like, you guys remember when I was. She wondered where he got them. But you guys remember when I was full head to toe covered in psoriasis and I had all those like scabs basically. Because I worked in retail public service, older women had no issue in saying what they thought towards me. And one woman looked me down. Give her a name. She looked like a Ruth. No, Ruth sounds too pleasant.

No. It's got to be like Barb. Yeah. But you've got to say it with a grunt. What did Barb say? Well, Barb came up and she bought a handbag and- Oh, Barb would. Fuck it.

And it was the fucking cheapest one too. Classic Barb. I know. At least spend a thousand bucks, then you can call me an AIDS ridden poof. Like, I'm not about- Anyway, so she walked up. So, we went up to the counter and Barb gives me her credit card. And then as I've packed it up for her, she's looked me in the eye and gone, you know, if you've got a sickness, you shouldn't be in the public sector.

And I looked at her and went, sorry? Like, I don't know what you mean. She goes, I know you've got AIDS, so you shouldn't be out in public. Fuck up, Barb. Well, I said, Barb, it's not AIDS, so you don't need to worry about it. So, Sam, on a scale of one to Barb, what sort of arseholes are you dealing with in your job? Well, so far, everyone that comes in is actually kind of lovely. And so, weirdly, I've got in there.

Don't get used to it. Yeah. I've got in there expecting. I know where you work. I've got in there expecting just the worst of humanity. And everyone's been nice. And I'm like, well, I can't get any stories out of that. Wow.

I've been in retail too long, so I fucking hate every single one of them. Are you the problem, Oscar? I actually think I could be the problem. All right, Oscar, you got an inch him. Oh, I've got a good one, yeah. Your turn. Let's go, Oscar. Let's go.

Is it just me or? Is springtime just fucked? Oh, my fucking God. It is the worst time of the year. I hate everything about spring. And most importantly, I fucking hate the fact that I get hay fever. Oh, no, same. From the moment I got back in Sydney, I've been here for three weeks,

and I've been sick from the moment I landed. Oh, my god. Yeah, I don't know if you guys noticed, but we have a congested chookin. Yes. And a congested contraceptive diaphragm, Sam, on our hands today. What are you talking about? I'm fine. You're both stuffed to buggery. I've got the fucking eucalyptus diffuser blasting 24-7

in this room, in my penthouse, just so that you guys aren't all stuffed. Which, thank fuck, because like, I'm not flu-y or cold or any- because I've got such a shit immunity that, like, when I- because when I get sick, I get real fucking sick. And so, I know it's sort of cold, but because of all the fucking wind and the- like, out of all the things that I could have been allergic to, it's fucking pollen. Yeah, it's not a very convenient allergy.

It's not like nuts where you just go, all right, I'll avoid nuts. Exactly. You can't avoid the air. No, I cannot avoid pollinated air. I feel like it might just be you. Maybe not just you, but in my circumstance, God, I'm quite glad that spring has sprung. Even though I usually love the cold weather. You know how you hear a lot about like seasonal depression?

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Never used to affect me, but God, I had a miserable, bitter winter. Yeah. You're getting into menopause already. I know. But I've just noticed a real impact on my mood now that it's spring. I don't know why.

Yeah, look, love the idea of spring, but like some people probably get hay fever for a couple of days. Mine goes for the entirety of fucking spring. Same with my mother. Yeah. I'm always like, mum, are you crying? She's like, no, it's hay fever. It's that and the seasonal depression.

Yeah. And like the Zyrtex help, edemizine helps me as well. And then I do the, whenever I come and stay at my chalks, which is usually every weekend because I turn up at 5am. I'm the chalk for context. Yeah, Mitchell's the chalk for context. You know, we've got the diffuser on 25.8 and it's just like I can't fucking cope. Can I just say, you've stayed with me many a spring.

I've not seen you like this. You're a mess. Thank you so much. Look at you. Look at the sight I have before me. An absolute wreck. And this is the problem. Immunity, no good.

If there is one thing that retail has done for me, immunity. Like, I've got to deal with the general public. The most feral of the feral coming to your store. Oh, you would. You would. Coming into Prounds where you work. Angus and coot like it's just i yeah working in retail as well where because no hang on where we don't use that word thank you so sorry when no fuckhead comes in and you know they come in and they're all sniffling they go oh allergies am i right and i'm and like thank god

when the mask was around when the masks were around and i was working in um retail no hay fever no nothing itch of on the fly can we bring masks back yes because just the moment i see more people out and about on a train i i just want i just want masks back i i don't want to wear one myself i want everyone else yeah i agree i agree i agree but also like if you're sick as a dog don't walk into my store to buy a pair of jeans. Just fuck off. Yeah, go on ASOS, you fuck. Yeah, go on ASOS. Go online, you dipshit.

If you know what it is, don't get me to fucking find it for you so you can fucking sniffle all over me, you dog. And now look at you. And now look at me. I'm sick as a fucking dog. Woof, woof, bitch. Why did I choose you as my podcast understudies

when both of you can barely talk, which is the actually entry level requirement. Mitch and Jenna have fucked off. Both of you are crook. Why do I bother? What do you mean? Got something on your mind? Hit up at coupleofmitches on Instagram to get yourself on the show.

Yes, you guys know how it works. Every single Is It Just Me Monday, we like to check in with our idiots, see what's on your mind. Today we're going to Jackson in Brisbane. What's he got to say for himself? Jackson? Come on, Jackson, give us a whirl. Hi, Jackson speaking.

Hi, it's Mitchell Coombs here. I'm here with the misfits, Oscar and Sam. Are you on speaker or some shit? I am on speaker. Can't you hear me? Yeah, put us up to your ear, please, Del. That'd be much appreciated. Thank you.

Now, Jackson, what have we interrupted you doing today, darling? Look, I'm currently working from home. With all due respect, you sound knackered. Oh, Bob. I am knackered. What's happening? It's been a long day. Look, I have to work from 12 to 8.30 tonight.

Jeez, what do you do? I literally am just data entry and I put bookings in all day for a mining company. So you sound as enthusiastic about that as you should. Yeah, 100%. I used to work in the villages for this company, and then I was like, I can't do it anymore from home. Wait, so were you actually in the mine with them doing data entry?

Yeah, pretty much. We're like all the accommodation side of things. So not actually in the mines. Sadly, not that cool. But the mine was in the background. It was a nice pretty view against the window, wasn't it, Darl? Yeah. Yeah, no, you got to look out to see a big mouth of rock, didn't you?

Just like when I say to Uluru. Oh. Yeah, beautiful. I'm Uluru. It's gorgeous, isn't it, Darl? Now, Jackson, we want to hear your Is It Just Me. Is it about work? Have you got something to get off your chest?

It is definitely about work. Okay. Well, Bradley's ready to go. You let us know when you're ready to go. Alright, I'm ready when you're up. Is it just me or Quitting your job not long after you've started should be left frowned upon. Absolutely. You've hit the nail on the head there quitting your job not long after you've started should be less frowned upon. Oh, absolutely. You've hit the nail on the head there, Jackson. I fucking agree.

Because people get a bit stressed, don't they? They're like, I can't quit immediately. It's not a good look on the resume. Yeah. Yeah. So I've gone back to my job that I'm currently at now, but I left to go to another company because they're offering better perks and everything like that. Anyway, I started at the job.

I flew from Brisbane to this random place called Clark Creek, which is in the middle of nowhere. Clark Creek. I'm Googling. I want to see this place. That sounds like Wolf Creek, Dal. That's a bit scary. It's Wind Turbine Farm.

Oh. What, the big spinny white things? Yeah. And I was like in the accommodation side of things at the little camp down below. Oh, God. And literally my third day in, I said, oh, I got a phone call I got to take. And I went to my room, packed up my whole room and messaged one of my friends who was an hour away to come pick me up. Oh, my God.

What was so bad about it, Jackson? I just didn't like it. And so, did you have to go crawling back to the mine? So, it's so funny. So, I rang my old boss and I explained to him. I was like, look, I really hate it. And he started laughing. And he said, it's all good.

You can come back and stay the night. Do you know what? I did the same thing. I worked at Macca's. I quit because I thought the grass would be greener at IGA. And I hated working at IGA. So, I went crawling back to Macca's. And they were like, can you start this weekend?

I was like, yes. Put me back in the drive-thru where I belong. So, wait, Jackson, you go and work for renewable energy for all of three weeks and then you yearn for the mines. That's where the money is, isn't it? Oh, that's it, isn't it? That's true. It's all underground. Just for context, idiots, Clark Creek is a nine-hour drive north of Brisbane.

Oh. And it's not in the middle of nowhere, but it's certainly nowhere good. No, it doesn't have anything. And for the reception to work, one of my big things was you can only have reception with the Wi-Fi at the camp. And they said to me, oh, sometimes it cuts out and doesn't work for a few days. And I was like, no, I can't. A few days?

That doesn't make anything better. Yeah, a few days. No. They were like, oh, if you go down to the paddock where the cows are, you might get some reception. And I was like, no, that's not for me because I'm really into Roblox at the moment. Oh, yes. A gamer girl.

A little bit of a gamer girl. Well, I only play dress to impress. Oh, I was trying to play that last night. What do I have to unlock on Roblox to get to that point? You don't have to unlock anything. You just need to pay for VIP. Oh, I never pay. I don't pay.

I don't pay to be VIP. They pay me. Jackson, can you give us your VIP code? Please. It's like $16. How much? It's $16 for VIP. Wait, a month?

No, just if I can turn it, that's it. I can just pay the $16. Oh, you just pay $16 once and you're good? Yeah. Oh, I can do that. Oh, okay. I can do that. No, great tip.

Sean wanted to play Dress to Impress last night and we couldn't figure it out. Thank you for that, Jackson. That's actually more important than anything else you've said. I've really fucking learned something, actually. It's surprising who plays Dressed to Impress. My partner, who's a school principal, absolutely loves playing it. A school principal? Do they verse the kids or like what?

I don't know who plays, but he does get pretty competitive and starts yelling at his iPad. Yes. Oh, my God. See, that sounds like me, Jackson. I've got to be careful with those competitive games because I get real fucking angry because I'm like, how did I not win?

That was a gorgeous glitter sequined dress and you've given it to some fuckhead in a fascinate. Oh, my God. It is a pretty rigged game. And you'll see people say, like, farming, and people join all up together because at the end of it, you all vote each other. And people gang up together and all give each other high points,

and their outfits are absolutely trash. And it angers me. Oh, that sounds like Survivor. Well, I've got all of that to look forward to, Jackson. Thanks for your call, darling. Once Prize Keeper Jenna clocks back on, she will send you a tote bag as a little thank you for coming on. Yeah.

No, thanks for coming, Jackson. Too easy. Awesome. Thank you. Thanks, darling. Lovely to chat. And if you want to come on with an Is It Just Me of your own at Couple of Mitches, it's where you can DM us on Instagram or you can send us a text.

We do have a phone number. We do. You all know the jingle by now, I'm sure. Oscar performs it. Yes. We play it every week. Seeing as you're here, you may as well do an acoustic version. Oh, yeah, better.

Actually, not acoustic, a live version. A live, yeah. Unless Sam wants to bring out the banjo. I don't know. Sam, do you have a ukulele ready to go, Joel? I do, actually. Oh, gorgeous. Don't get it out.

Okay. Are you going to do the jingle live? Because I did bring the karaoke version. Yeah, I better do my MTV unplugged version of 04. All right. Well, if you want to send us a text, idiots, you can send us a text on this number. 0-4-2-9-4-8-2-0-4-2-9-4-8-2-0-4-2-9-4-8-2-0-4-2-9-4-8-2-0-4-4-2-9-4-9-4-8-2-0-4-4-2-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9-4-9 422948202 It's the full version. 0422948202

0422948202 Here comes the key change. 0422948202 Bit of phlegm there. Here comes the high note. Hey, Fever and all. Yeah, gorgeous. Hey, Fever. Hardly know her. I can still sing. Hey. Faitha. Hardly know her.

I can still sing. Try and stop me. Oh, he's actually got the tissues out. Oh, God. Fuck me. We better go, idiots. I'm so sorry, idiots. I'm not a well-chalked, but I'm still fucking here.

That's all right. I'm going to make you some soup and get you down to bed. Thanks, darling. We will be back on Wednesday, of course. Of course. Yeah, yeah. One week only, Mitchell and the Misfits. Yeah.

Once Thierry and Jenna finish their little gallivant around the fucking country, whatever they're doing. Who knows? Do you know what? Gallivant away. I don't give a fuck. Thanks for listening, idiots. Bye.

Bye. Bye-bye. Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to ADD Brief, our secret segment on the end. We pretend the show is done.

We keep talking. See what I did there, Sam? I kept it a secret till the end. Yeah, but you're forgetting that I don't care. No, that's not lost on me. Trust me. That is clear as day to me. You're lucky to be invited back after the absolute abomination.

Leaking company secrets. I would never leak secrets about your workplace, Wallace Bishop. Wallace fucking Bishop. I have not heard that in decades. What is Wallace doing these days? Well, fuck Defano. Is it actually his full name, Wallace Jeremy Bishop or something? Do you reckon it was a guy?

It has to be a guy. Have you met a woman named Wallace? Yeah. Barb. Should we check in with no offence, my OGs? Yeah, no, we better. Jenna Benson and Mitchell something. Who? Can't remember his name.

We'll see what they're up to. Yeah, go on. I know for a fact that... I've got to check in with our Jenna. I do miss Jenna. We are down a misfit. Oh, shut up. Don't rub it in. I know I'm fact that- I've got to check in with our Jenna. I'm like- I know that Jenna- I do miss Jenna. We are down a misfit. Oh, shut up. Don't rub it in. I know I'm not one of you.

I know for a fact that Jenna's spending a bit of time in Melbourne. Oh, gorgeous. God, why? Cheery fucking God knows. I put any money on the fact that it's a relative's birthday or something, a christening, an anniversary, something like that. Yeah, she would. Let's go Jenna first.

Hang on. Yeah, good. Our Jenna will pick up, surely. Can't have a misfit. Jesus like that. Yeah, she would. Let's go Jenna first. Hang on. Yeah, good. Our Jenna will pick up, surely. Can't have a mistress. Zero. Jesus. Oh. Oh, she's under a stir.

Oh. Yeah. Why? It was past the bedtime. Yeah, famously she does go to bed at five o'clock. Yeah, that's true. Oh, my God. She's just fully not got her phone on.

She's run out of credit. Oh, her dodo didn't come through. Hang on. Let's try Cheery. Oh, yeah. Let's try Cheery. Pick up, clown. Ten bucks says, is it a family event?

Twenty that it's someone's half birthday. Hello? Hello, you're on the Is It Just Me podcast. Have you heard of it? Hi, how are you? I have heard of it. Are you a big fan? Is Mitch Chei there?

No, he's not, actually. Who? I'm not interested. What are you up to right now? I quite literally just said goodbye to the family. It's a family dinner. It's my sister Becky's birthday. Oh, $10.

Yes! I said, I bet it's a family fucking birthday or something. Yeah, Becky's birthday. Detective Becky's birthday. Detective Becky's birthday. Of course. Thank you for your service. I did raise the stakes, Cherry, because I said $20.

It's a family's half birthday. So I don't know who won that one, to be honest. Close. No, it's close. It was Auntie Chris's birthday too. It's my birthday next week. So we all kind of got sung to it. We did one of those birthday songs where you go,

happy birthday to Becky, Christine and Mitch. Like we all got added on. Oh, you got lifted with the others? That's like an office thing. Yeah, it pisses me off. I hate it because Becky and Christine are the same week, but I'm like 10 days after. I don't think I should be tacked on the end of a song.

But wait, yeah, as if the Turees would miss an opportunity to throw a separate birthday gathering. You'll get one. Yeah, no, you'll get one, darling. Thank you, Ian. I hope so. Who's there? Jenna, have you started taking testosterone, have you?

I've just got a heavy cold. You know, I'm allergic to cats, it turns out. Is that my contraceptive diaphragm, Sam? Hello, darling. Oh, my God, Sam'm allergic to cats, it turns out. Is that my contraceptive diaphragm, Sam? Hello, darling. Oh, my God, Sam. Well, this is funny. Are you boys having a good time? Yeah.

Yeah, the best time I've ever had on this podcast. Very funny. Okay, all right. Do you know what's weird, Mitch? I'm now a misfit. No, you're not. That's ridiculous. No, I am.

I am. And so is Jenna. So you're the only one that isn't a misfit. So you've actually been excluded in a way. You're outnumbered. Yeah. No, I am. I am. And so is Jenna. So you're the only one that isn't a misfit. So you've actually been excluded in a way. You're outnumbered. Yeah. Oh, thank God. Thank God.

We've indicted Mitchell Coombs as a misfit. So he's Misfit Mitchell. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's all right. I mean, that's fine. Technically, we employ the Misfits, Mitchell. So you send your pay slip to me and I'll approve it if you need.

Pay slip. When do we get those? Also, is the corporate travel still in that? Because there's something outstanding from last time. Yeah, Sam, we went through your phone bill and there's a couple of shady calls and you've used the company card for... I'm sorry, I can't hear you. Tunnel, sorry, sorry, tunnel.

No, don't think that I've forgotten your birthday next week. Big things planned. Don't worry. Oh, I can't wait. No, I'm excited. I'm excited. Yeah, next week. I would never forget.

Never. Now, what's happening on the show? Is it that boring that you had to call me? Is that what's happened? It wasn't that boring. I just thought I would check in and see what you're up to. But after this sort of fucking attitude, you know what? Sorry, tunnel.

By the way, I don't have big things planned. What should I do for his birthday? Oh, shit. We'll be competing with the family. They're going to throw a big do. Kesha's going to come out of a cake. No, but the problem I have is that Cheery buys expensive shit. And, like, if he wants it, he'll just get it.

Like, he's all into the fashion. He'll just buy one $400 brooch wear at once and he's done with it. He does have a good extensive collection of Nutella Versace. Yes. He's got the Louise Vuitton roll on. Yeah, he does. Yeah. Yeah.

It's quite nice. Dolce & Gabbin. What do I do for his birthday? I mean, I could use my discount at Wallace and Gromit and maybe get something like that. Are you right? Okay, should we- Does that make me the were-rabbit? Should we try Jenna again?

Yeah, let's try Jenna. Come on. Ten bucks says that she's not going to answer. Ten bucks. Zero. Yeah, there we go. I'm cleaning up this episode. He was at a relative's birthday.. Come on. Ten bucks says that she's not going to answer. Ten bucks. Zero. Yeah. There we go. I'm cleaning up this episode.

He was at a relative's birthday. I told you. He was at a relative's birthday. Yeah. Yeah. And Jenna's dead. Like, she left us hanging, Sam. I don't know how I feel about that.

We're going to have to have a misfits meeting and we're going to have to. Oh, the group chat that I'm not in. Yeah. Well, I expect to be added now. Actually, we better. I'm queen misfit. Do we have to- Oh, the group chat that I'm not in. Yeah. Well, I expect to be added now. Actually, we better. I'm queen misfit. Do we have to? Yeah, no, not yet.

Okay, yeah, no, no. We'll wait it out. No, we'll make a whole new one. That's fine. Why did you say shit about me in the existing one? Of course. No. Of course.

Absolutely. I didn't even think of that. Why, did you actually? No. No, of course not. No, I don't even think of that. Why, did you actually? No. No, of course not. No, I don't mind if you did. I don't want to read it, but did you? I don't think we did, but now I'm not sure.

It was all Jenna. It was all Jenna. Oh, yeah, that's right. She sent those 48 messages just ranting. Just ranting. She does do that, actually. She just talks too much, evidently. I don't think we... The only thing I can think of is when you said,

oh, Mitch wants to do this, and I said, oh, when you were going to come on for the fourth ep, and I couldn't do it. I got bumped. Oh, yeah, that's right. I got bumped because I had, like, 16 fucking doctor's appointments because I'm an unwell woman. That's a good aside of you.

Oh, no. I mean, I think all I said was, nah, fuck him, because I've got to come all the way from Bellingen, which is not far. Which is not that far. No, it's not, I think all I said was, nah, fuck him, because I've got to come all the way from Bellingen, which is not far. Which is not that far. No, it's not far at all. Did you say, nah, fuck him, about me? I think so.

Let me go through the messages. That's interesting. Oh, gosh. Now, there we go. The quote, nah, fuck him. There it is. Yeah. Wow.

Mm-hmm. Well, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today, idiots. That's all, just 2%. Do you feel honoured to be Miss Fitzmitchell? Sam, you're on thin ice as it is. You should know the response. Holy shit, Sam. We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.

That's all, just 2%. And so we do. With less attitude next time. No, what were you going to say? Yes? Don't you feel honoured to be Misfit Mitchell? Yes, I do. I'm glad to have you, George. No, it's Mitchell and the Misfits, so it's quite clear.

It's one of those rare things where the spin-off's better than the original. It's actually so much to keep up with. What's the spin-off? Well, I was going to say, this is the spin-off of the spin-off. Oh, yeah, this is the spin-off of the spin-off. Oh, yeah, this is the spin-off of the spin-off. This is Mandy and Georgie's first wedding as opposed to Young Sheldon. No, this- Again, within these shows, what are you watching?

What is your TV queue? I couldn't tell you. This is like- No, that's too niche. Never mind. I was going to say, it's like when Packed to the Rafters went to shit. So, they're like, bring back Nathan. We need one rafter.

I'm Nathan. I mean, you say it's niche. I got it. Yeah, right? Because they were like, all the rafters are gone. We need to bring at least one back, even if it's the worst one. Yeah. Bring back one Mitch.

Just one. Just the one. For consistency. He just happens to be the worst one. No, I'm just joking. Anyway, we will be back on Wednesday. Because unlike you shit misfits, we're doing two episodes a week. We're doing double the work, Sammy.

No, we'll be back on Wednesday. And then Mitch and Jenna will be back on Monday's episode next week. And it will be Chewie's birthday. Fuck knows what I'm going to do for it. Any suggestions, idiots, please let me know. Not in the group because he'll see it. No, he'll see it. Yeah, yeah.

Just let me know. We'll just get like a bargain on Facebook Marketplace, but he's got to argue to win it. He'll love it. I'll just tell him that I bartered and he'll respect that. He'll respect the hustle. He actually, oh, he would respect the hustle, honestly. You've got to haggle. You've got to haggle.

That's what they all do. They don't respect if you don't haggle. Let's not start this. I was going to say, let's save it for Wednesday, Tal. Catch you then, idiots. Bye, bubs. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches.
