Starting point is 00:00:00 This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitchens. Hello you. Hello you. Go! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Is it just me? Is smelly learn-farts kind of fun?
Starting point is 00:00:17 Just you, you filthy unhinged bitch. Honestly. What's wrong with you? Now here's Mitch Cury and Mitchell Coons. Hello who? Who is it? Oh hello you. Hello you. Mitchell. Mitchell. Nice to meet you. Yeah, Mitchell. Pleasure to meet you. Yeah, charming. How's things been?
Starting point is 00:00:34 Big fan. Love the farm videos. Oh thank you. Long time no chat, darling. Oh my god, we're back. Well, temporarily we're back. Hi idiots. We missed you. Hi. Yeah, we have. You didn't think we'd forget about pig week, did you? It's our annual tradition. We've done it every year. Even if the podcast wasn't back for this one only special occasion, I think we'd still celebrate Pig Week as friends.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Just privately. Yes. Well, everyone, we encourage everyone to get amongst Pig Week. If you don't know what the fuck Pig Week is, if you're new here, weird spot to start the series, I will say. But this is just not the week for, you know, balance or moderation in your diet. This is the week to fucking pop that Kit Kat in your trolley, order that pizza for tea, the full cake, eat it, have a slice, make crepes or pancakes for breakfast, just be a little fat pig. That sounds kind of healthy. Crepes or pancakes? No, crepes or pancakes? Awful. What are you doing with your crepes and pancakes? It's just not sugar, lemon.
Starting point is 00:01:31 Oh, I see. Like a lot of fat. But that's not an everyday food. You couldn't have crepes and pancakes every day. Crepe is basically like an omelette, right? No, crepe is sweet. That's what I have for breakfast every day. No, crepe is a thin pancake. Oh, I just thought it was a couple eggs. No, a couple eggs, flour, a bit of sugar, vanilla. It's sweet. You can do savory. Have crepe for breakfast. Yeah, go crepe. Speaking of crepe, um, our third wheel is here. Hi, I'm here. She's returned. We have defrosted her from the cryogenic Fridge we placed her in. I'm still a bit cold, but I'm getting there. Jenna! Hi! Are you excited for pig week? I know that you always-
Starting point is 00:02:05 It's my favorite week of the year. 100%. You always want food. That's how it came about. People were just saying, idiots, our listeners were saying, oh, Pig Week, we're still celebrating. And it's so sad the show's not on to celebrate, but the idiots were going to continue doing it.
Starting point is 00:02:18 So we thought, well, we can't let them be pigs on their own. Isn't that so impressive that they remembered when Pig Week was? I know, I forgot. I'll be honest. I did forget. I actually set a reminder for when Pig Week is in my calendar, I reckon in January.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Because I had this idea, we'd have to do a reunion episode for Pig Week, but because I know you so well, Mitchell, I was like, if I pitch this idea too far in advance, he might get overwhelmed. So I'll act like it's really spontaneous. Yeah. So I texted you both, what, two days ago and said, I just had this idea. Should we reunite?
Starting point is 00:02:52 Have I been manipulated? Yeah, a little bit. It's been in my calendar for ages. I had the whole week record Pig Week? Question mark. You're kidding. Oh my God. I never kid.
Starting point is 00:03:01 So should we, should we share what we've brought for Pig Week? We should start with it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my, it's just first of So should we share what we've brought for Pig Week? We should start with it. Yes. Oh my god, first of all, so good to be back. It is good to be back. I miss you guys. I miss you.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Mitch has his tally because we're in Mitch's apartment because obviously we parted ways with iHeartRadio after the homophobia. It'd be a bit awkward for you to walk back into the KISS building. It would. I'm not welcome. Jen is the only one still in the KISS building. It's true. Who would have thought? The trauma. Yeah. We will update you on our lives, but on Mitch's apartment, the penthouse,
Starting point is 00:03:29 he's got a chart that says who is it, and it's got like your top 20 friends in your life. And then every time that friend arrives at your apartment, they put a little tally notch next to their name. Yeah. It's become a bit of an incentive for my friends to actually come and visit me. There will be prizes for the people that visit the most, so you both need to pick up your game. Well, I only just got our first point. Yeah, I did.
Starting point is 00:03:48 We had minus one on there because I put minus one on there. Yeah, that was very disrespectful. Although, I will say that, Jenna, we kind of fucked you over a bit because we added the chart after you came over. Jenna and I went ice skating. We hung out without you. It was so much fun. That makes you feel.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Steven was dev- My partner Steven was so upset that that happened. He said, well, you even thought of it? And I said, no, I wasn't. It actually was spontaneous. I'm not going to lie. It was. Who spontaneously books ice skating? I agree.
Starting point is 00:04:12 In summer. I agree because Sean just woke up on a Saturday morning and the first thing he said to me, he just rolls over and goes, should we go ice skating? I was like, how old are you? You're growing up so tall. And that morning I got a message from Sean saying, Mitchell and I are going ice skating. Would you like to join? I had nothing on it.
Starting point is 00:04:29 And I thought, you know, ice skating, I haven't done it for a while. So I went along. For a while? When have you ice skid? I couldn't tell you the last time I ice skid, apart from earlier in the year. You're an ice skidder. So I wasn't invited for the fear that I'd crack the fucking Arctic Circle. Sean was in charge of the invite mate.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Don't take it out on me. That reminds me of when I got a gift card to iFly for my 21st birthday, which is indoor skydiving by the way. Good thing nothing was. Yeah I went recently. Oh did you? Yeah. I did like a promo video for them.
Starting point is 00:04:57 I haven't posted it yet. Oh you've done it? Yeah. Oh well I couldn't because I get there and I'm too fat. They're like sorry there's not enough wind on this earth to lift you off orbit. And I had to leave and I had a whole fleet of friends and I got in the jumpsuit and everything and they're like, we need to weigh you and too heavy.
Starting point is 00:05:13 So I could not be lifted off the ground. You really missed out because the thing they use to make you float in the indoor skydiving, that's the sort of air con everyone deserves. It was really fucking full on. And I forgot to bring a scrunchie with me. And I had my hair out and they said to me,
Starting point is 00:05:28 oh, careful, your hair might get a little bit knotted. Mate, by the end of my fucking fake skydive, I had dreadlocks. It was so knotted. I really thought at one point after an hour trying to comb out the knots, I'm like, I might just have to chop it all off. This is it all off. This is it for me.
Starting point is 00:05:46 But was it mad in the awful areas, like under the back? Everywhere, I'm telling you. Everywhere, it was horrible. Have you done it, Jenna? No, I've never done it. I've always wanted to. Maybe Sean and I can do it. He would love to go again.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Yeah. And so you were over the weight limit. Yeah. In your defense, I will say that those scales that they humiliatingly made us stand on before we were able to slide. Did they make you stand on scales? Yes, put away yourself.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Yeah. I will say that they were a bit unkind. They chucked a few extra kgs on for both Sean and I. Yeah. The scales at my endocrinologist office have Weight Watchers branding on them, which just feels belittling. I remember my mum had all the Biggest Loser merch because mum might have... Merch? Oh yeah, we were a real fat family and we love the Biggest Loser. And we would watch it religiously as a family growing up. And then they had merchandise.
Starting point is 00:06:31 We had the Biggest Loser scales, the Biggest Loser measuring cups. They were all half a gram lighter because they didn't want you to be a fatty. The scales did what they do on the show where it goes, which no scales do by the way, but it wasn't like 0.5 grams, 0.1. You watch the show and it's like, Melissa, 145, 149, 141, 60 kilos. I'm like, this is how scales work. They've put the full episodes of that show on YouTube and I thought it's fucked up. I forgot.
Starting point is 00:06:59 I know. It's really bad. Yeah. Like I reckon it's somewhere in my subconscious somewhere. The level of fat shaming they were putting out in the world anyway That's a bit deeper. Do you still remember? It's your first time listening. Yeah. No the song. It's the climb! No, no, it was you gotta lift. Oh, you've gotta lift. What was the climb from? It was on something. That was Miley Cyrus and you're thinking Shannon Noll couldn't be more different.
Starting point is 00:07:18 I am, I am, I am. I'm getting confused. Well, if it is your first time listening, hi, this is Is It Just Me. Back from the dead. We cancelled the show in December. Yeah. After comments came to light from iHeartRadio. And how embarrassing coming back now. It does feel a bit like I've got my tail between my legs because I'm like, we did a really emotional fucking farewell and now we're just like, hey. We own this product. We own the IP. I got a message from my friend Blake when the finale,
Starting point is 00:07:45 quote unquote, came out and he never fucking listened before but he tuned in out of curiosity. Is this the Blake that we both know? Yeah, yes. And he sent a message saying, I was in tears driving over the Harbour Bridge listening, very dangerous. How did you both feel after the finale?
Starting point is 00:08:03 I haven't listened to it. You haven't, but just generally. Oh, I was very depressed. I wasn't expecting it to be like, it did feel like a breakup. Yeah. I thought that there would at least be a tiny smidgen of, well, thank God that's over. Like a little bit of relief because I don't have to do all the editing and whatever, but there was none. It was just like proper loss.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Yeah, I agree. For me, it came after, cause I was mourning the loss of the radio show, which happened at the same time. If you missed that horrific couple of weeks and months. And then it only hit me like two months ago, the podcast being over. Yeah, I had a real delayed response. But here we are. So I guess it doesn't matter. I had like an embarrassing moment in one of my Pilates classes, where they just played like a really emotional song
Starting point is 00:08:48 and out of nowhere, I just started crying. To be fair, it was like the, you know the cool down bit at the end of class? I was lying down looking at the roof and they played that, I was gonna find it, but I can't remember. What's that fucking Rihanna song that she did for the soundtrack of something?
Starting point is 00:09:01 Oh, for the soundtrack of Black Panther. Yes, hang on. What was it called again? Black Panther, Rihanna. No, you've got the dreadlocks. You should know. OK, Black Panther, Rihanna, Lift Me Up. Lift me up. That was a beautiful song. They played this as our cooldown song. Hang on. Oh, this had made me cry. This one.
Starting point is 00:09:31 I just kind of went like this. And I went, no, you're in public, Mitchell. Fucking pull it together. You're a public figure. How embarrassing. Anyway, I had so many people in public, two people, tell me that they missed the show. That little twink that works at my local Maccas who years ago was like, love the show. And I was like, thank you. Don't tell anyone I got a triple quad, quadruple, fuck him, quad about it. And then I went back in a couple of weeks ago and he's like, oh my God, I'm so devastated I've got it. I know, I know. But so we will just reiterate the fact that this is a little special for Pigwig, which
Starting point is 00:09:57 we should jump into. Just a one off for Pigwig. This will probably be a little longer than usual, but it doesn't matter. Yeah, fuck it. I heart still get the ad space, So if we want to make money off it, I will say that we wouldn't toy with your emotions again after that emotional finale. So many people, when we posted the number seven on our Instagram story as a little tease that we would be doing a reunion, they were like, nah, it's just not possible.
Starting point is 00:10:19 They're fucking with us. As if we would do that. We wouldn't fuck with you guys. That goodbye was genuinely traumatic for all of us. I'm not even being dramatic. It was. So we're not toying with you. If anything, we're toying with our emotions coming back, dabbling in again. I know. It's like, you know, going back to the X.
Starting point is 00:10:33 People are like, oh, is that really wise? But no, it's fun being back. I want to give a shout out, by the way, because there were these are the first people that I noticed. They figured out what the number seven on our Instagram meant. They figured out the clue. Matt Fudge, Amy Allen, Rebecca Hamilton. Shout out to you. They were like, they posted seven, which means seven days until next week, which is Pig Week. It's a Monday. Great. So here we are. We lurk in the group chat. We read everything.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Oh yeah. Okay. So we need to, this will be a long opener, but that's fine. Oh, fuck it. You know, like this will, this will be a long talk, but that's fine. Yeah, fuck it. You know, like this will this will be a long talk. We've got catching up to do, don't we? It's been like six fucking months. Um, play the pig week music again. Yes. My favorite music. I got us guys a smash cake to celebrate. Holy fuck.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I thought to get some anger out, considering we're back. And I don't know. We're all at peace now. But Jenna or Mitchell, I found this mallet in your bathroom cabinet. Is that important? No, that was just to put my bed frame together. It's like, I forgot. Oh, great, I thought it was like some sort of kinky thing. Maybe Sean, you know, he's in his mid-30s. Maybe he needs his joints knocked into position
Starting point is 00:11:36 after a good bump. Jenna, you can do the honours. Okay. We're also filming this. This may or may not be live on YouTube. We're just testing stuff. Shut up. Yeah, Cherry had a bright idea that let's put this episode on YouTube we get
Starting point is 00:11:48 people asking to watch I know but out of nowhere he's like I'll do it I'll do it everyone go ahead to Mitch Chiri's YouTube channel it may or may not be there in video form we can put on your YouTube I don't mind no it's your idea mate you're doing the heavy lifting alright let's do it alright and when are we gonna smash it? Well Jenny you're gonna have to do it. Okay. You're gonna have to hold it in one hand. You can't see the thrust check. Oh, you're right. Sorry. Go back to your camera. Oh, she's like, oh Jenna has knocked her microphone over. I told you the YouTube with more trouble than it's worth. On Isabella's soft tummy.
Starting point is 00:12:21 We've still got it guys. Still slick as ever. And Jenna's the only one still in broadcast and she just knocked her mic over. Amanda Keller would be... Oh my god. I'm gonna come fix your mic. I'm not editing any of this out. No, I don't think so. All right, I'll narrate, I'll narrate what's happening. She's now got the smash cake, which mind you, available at Woolies. Yep. Smash cake? Okay. BYO hammer mind you. Okay. Okay, go for it. Welcome back, IJM, for one day only. Here we go. Oh my god. Oh, there we go.
Starting point is 00:12:49 That is real piggy. Like, what a plate to bring. Why is it so dense? Yay! It's got sprinkles on it, which is fucking exciting. What's inside, Jenna? Oh, this. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Trick of warning for the misophobes. It's got like, more teasers and sprinkles and stuff. Oh yum. It's got snakes! I'll pass it around, grab a handful and I'll pass it around. So pig wick is a long-standing tradition on Is It Just Me where we have just said, eat and pig out and get what you want. And we bring a plate each.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Have you got more than one plate? No, what I've done is I've got my We said it at the start. And we bring a plate each. Yeah, what I've done is- Have you got more than one plate? No, what I've done is I've got my favourite snack rotation at the moment. Oh god, we could be here for hours. So it's almost like a recommendation. Fuck off. So I bought this. They're little pretzel chips.
Starting point is 00:13:34 If anyone wants a pretzel chips, they're called Ollie's Pretzel Chips, sour cream and onion. They're really good. I believe you, but also like, my mouth is dry at the best of times. It's a side effect of the ADHD. I don't know if I should be eating pretzels on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Jenna, because I love you and I've missed you. Oh, it's a double decker! The double decker. I love double decker so much. The driest chocolate bar. Terrible. You've ever tasted in your life. Imagine if a concrete van
Starting point is 00:14:01 that has the big spinny thing at the back poured into a concrete mold and added wafer biscuit into it. It's fucking deep fried Play-Doh. No, it's delicious. Jenna, it's so ugly. It's so good. I also got this because I've seen it on TikTok. Did you guys know that Lint do a 90% cocoa chocolate?
Starting point is 00:14:18 Yeah. You've had it before? Yeah. You have not. Is it just like dark chocolate? No. So normal dark chocolate is only 50% dark. The rest is still milk chocolate. I've had to 95%
Starting point is 00:14:28 Can you get that? I will answer you the queen. Queen pig. The queen pig. Jenna's gloating, we get it, you're full time employed, we're not. Also, Mitch Lime, to apologise to you, but freelance work is harder than it sounds. Thank you. I was waiting for the I told you so. Well, I've told you in the past. Actually, no know I'm the one that should say I told you so yes
Starting point is 00:14:48 I told you yeah, this is jet black. Holy fuck that is darker than dark chocolate Jesus that makes that makes cherry rots look albino It's not that great no offense. She's not something that you would pig out on no I'll give it a go, but is it like healthy up? Because dark chocolate's meant to be like a super food or whatever? It's 90% dark chocolate by Lynch. Yeah, it's full on, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:15:13 Yeah. I shouldn't have had a whole bit. I gotta wash my mouth, hang on. I've got a dark tongue. Is that the end of your plate? Mm. Oh gosh. I also got, because it's a trend,
Starting point is 00:15:22 Coco Bella chocolate coconut water. I've always wanted to try that. That's so yum. It is like very hard to get. It's always sold out. So Coco Bella is coconut water with chocolate flavor. I've not tried it, but apparently it's incredible. Are we just gonna be swigging from the bottle?
Starting point is 00:15:36 I'll get a glass, hold on. Talk about your lives. No, we should have done this before. It's all right, Nana, it's fine. I don't think I've even had regular coconut water, let alone chocolate coconut water. Yeah, no, this is I don't think I've even had regular coconut water, let alone chocolate coconut water. Yeah, no, this is definitely a trend. I've seen it all over TikTok
Starting point is 00:15:48 and I've looked for it at the supermarket, so it's all sold out. Just so you know, you could tell me that anything's a trend and I'd fucking believe you, because I'm so out of the loop. For some reason, my TikTok never shows me trends. It's only sad cat videos. Oh, I get them too.
Starting point is 00:16:00 And like, five signs that you're a high functioning alcoholic and I'm like, wow, that was targeted. What has this phone been listening to? No offence Dalby you don't need five signs. Oh my god. Alright so the word water doesn't belong in this because it's really really it just looks like oil. Alright give it a go. Happy pig week. Cheers to the pod. Cheers. Oh that's weird now. Can I have a sip? No no it's alright. I didn't pour myself in. This wasn't what I was expecting because it looks like a real chalky milk. This is quite good.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Yeah. Oh my god. I love it. I could drink a whole thing of that. Well, you'll be my guest. I'm not super sold. This is really good. With any six months time we'll be like, guys I've just found this new thing.
Starting point is 00:16:39 It's a trend. Also me subtly. I could drink a whole thing of that if we happen to have one. Alright well they might my fang. Did you just do your groceries and you're sharing a little bit with us? With every intention of taking it home? There's psyllium husk and barbecue sauce in the bottom of the bag. Do you want to see my plate or have you not finished?
Starting point is 00:16:56 No, I'm finished. I've got some popcorn in there, but it's just for later. Okay, great. The tradition on this show is you, while you're listening to this, have to pig out as well. Yes. And you have to eat a treat. It can be anything, but something you wouldn't normally eat. Yeah, you can multitask. You can listen to this and also order a pizza on your phone.
Starting point is 00:17:13 Yeah, of course. And then if this is a long enough episode, the pizza will turn up before the end. Guaranteed. Would you like to see what I've provided for us? Yeah, fire up the pig music. So, let me tell you. You're familiar with your Cheez-L, yes? Yes. Yeah, you put them pig music. So, let me tell you. Um, you're familiar with your cheesel, yes?
Starting point is 00:17:27 Yeah, you put them on your fingers, yeah. Yeah. So I popped down to the shops recently because I had friends coming over just doing a snack run. And apparently everyone on earth had the same idea because they were sold out of fucking everything. It was just the dregs left on the shelves, which is when I discovered. Let me have a quick look. Oh, what is this? Your... Let me have a quick look.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Oh, what is this? Your chicken cheesels. Chicken cheesels? Yes. Oh, I'm intrigued. Fucking phenomenal. You'll never eat a cheesel again. Here you go, passing it around.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Already opens, you clearly couldn't resist yourself. Yeah, because unlike you, I'm organised, so I thought I'd save the whole unboxing on the podcast. Oh, did you? Oh, you're such a thinker. If I were you, I would have gotten a cup for the coconut. Well, it doesn't matter. Okay. If I were you, I would have gotten a cup for the coconut. Well, it doesn't matter. OK.
Starting point is 00:18:08 If I were you, I would have done a lot of things different. Yeah, I was going to say, well, you're not. So I don't like chicken twisties. I just want to preface it by saying, Jenny, you take one. Honestly, neither do I. I'm not mad for them, but these are quite fucking phenomenal. They smell like a chicken twistie. I'll just try it.
Starting point is 00:18:22 3, 2, 1. Oh, they're great. Right? I'm sorry. Pass me, pass me. Take some more and pass me. I'm gonna place money. Oh, yum.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I'm not a beddingman, but I reckon these are gonna be polished off first in this episode. Cause they're, it's hard to stop, right? Is it just me on the fly? Maybe it's cause I was a kid, but they used to fit on my finger as a ring. Jesus, now I can't even get them over the tip.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Fucking shrinkflation, I tell ya. You reckon they've gotten smaller or is that just a mandala? What about your pinky? Let's try. Because I reckon they've gotten smaller. Same with burger rings. Oh, they've definitely got smaller. No, look, we can't even get past the first knob.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Oh, what a joke. Sorry, let me put it on my finger now. And I've got one other thing because I've learnt from past pig weeks, we always forget that pig week coincides with Jenna's birthday, which is next week, 4th of June. As you know, I've always said that it's not fucking a birthday without cakes. That's true. Ta-da! Oh yay!
Starting point is 00:19:19 Cupcakes! Happy early birthday Jenna! Oh they're yummy! Thank you! They're good cupcakes, you've done well Mitchell. They're great. Yummy! Guess what I got him. Yeah, Woolies! Same with you! What's going on at Woolies?
Starting point is 00:19:34 I went to Woolies and I tapped my everyday rewards card. Actually, first of all I went to tap my Mitch Coombs Eventbrite comedy show from six years ago. Because it's the same colour as my everyday rewards and I haven't deleted it from my wallet so I'm like that's not it um and then I tap my rewards card and it goes you've got ten dollars to spend I know it's always a nice surprise right I know but then I paid with a kitty oh I'm an idiot oh oh which I have to admit I've admitted to you on the record Mitchell a few times I had to set myself up now that I'm freelance as a business I've got my own business card yeah yeah did you have to do a business name and everything? Yeah. What is that? It's actually called Witch Mitch Productions.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Because there's two Mitch's. I went with, is it just media? Yeah, that's great. That's clever. But I decided on that name before we fucking cancel the podcast. So it means nothing now. It's still a good company name. I think so. Anyway, I have a business account now where my business money goes into.
Starting point is 00:20:21 So I use that, but it's the exact same colour as the IJUM one. So I've paid for parking on the IJUM, Kidio. I've that, but it's the exact same color as the Igin one. So I've paid for parking on the Igin one, kiddio. I've had to really memorize the last four numbers so I don't get the confused now that I've got two business cards. Yeah, which is too successful. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:35 All right, now, did you bring anything? What about you, Jenna? What's your proprietary limited calls? Oh, anyway, this one is also trending. To buy chocolate. Oh my God, Jenna! Oh Dubai chocolate, actually for once I'm across this. For once I'm in the loop.
Starting point is 00:20:50 My god. Yes, so it's very rare. Is it worth the fuss? Yes. Because I know that people keep banging on about viral Dubai chocolate. Is it really worth the hype? It is, pass it around.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Now was it in a Tupperware container? Did you make this at home? No, no. She put it in a bag and I thought it wasn't, the bag wasn't nice enough. So I got a container. On a scale of one to chicken cheese. How outstanding is it? It's outstanding. Oh my, Mitchell, get a load of this. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:21:15 It's got green like grass in it. It looks like Seamos jelly. Not again. No, it's so good. It really is. Here we go. This is, oh, it's very soft. It just looks like a normal chocolate block. Jenner's- It's good. Burp, sorry. Dubai chocolate.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Mm-hmm. Oh, it's crunchy. This is just not what I was expecting at all. I told you. I mean, it's real fucking good, but I don't even know what to liken it to for the sake of the listener. So good. What do you even compare it to? Stop talking.
Starting point is 00:21:45 How delicious is it? That is so good. Tell you what, you couldn't eat too much at once. It's real sickly. I've just gone over a second. Oh, here you go, mate. Oh, I could. Oh, it was.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Steven, the other day, all I do is rabbit on about how much I want to try to buy chocolate. Never tried it. Yes, it's so good. Yeah, honestly, I get the hype. Yes. Steven goes, I tried to buy chocolate today. He bought a block and didn't save any for him.
Starting point is 00:22:10 So I dumped him. So what's in the middle? Is it like, um, It's pistachio and something else. Isn't it like cafefe or something? Yeah, that. That's like Shrek's not looking. Yeah. That's what I would describe it.
Starting point is 00:22:20 It is. No, it's, I think it's shredded. You know what they put in baklava? It's like shredded fruit or pastry. That's what you compare it to. It's baklava-esque. Yeah, it is. Thank you. It's very sweet.
Starting point is 00:22:28 I was like, it reminds me of something, but I couldn't figure it out. Baklava-esque. While we're on a high, life update from me. Lost two grandparents in the last month. And then almost lost another one at the funeral of one of them. Oh. What? I've heard the story. That's why I'm laughing. I'm not laughing at laughing at your misfortune, but Jesus rough trap for you. Oh, yeah. So, uh, so when I ended this podcast, I had almost all my grandparents. Now I've lost two and almost a third in a month. Can you believe that? It's like, it shouldn't be a funny story, Jenna, but it kind of, it's very, I need to hear. It's very true. I need to hear. Sorry, everything just fucking crashed.
Starting point is 00:23:06 The whole system. Or Isabella rolled onto her back and that pussy knocked out a cord. Sorry, that was me, actually. Wasn't it? Thanks. We're already having tech issues. Oh, I've really missed this podcast. Now, we'll power on.
Starting point is 00:23:19 You guys, nothing happened, but there was a little glitch in the matrix, but we power on. We return. Yeah. So you were just saying that like six grandparents are dead or something? No, no, no. So Alma is alive and well, she's okay. But Nan, who's on my mum's side of the family who had dementia, we love Nan, gorgeous woman, at 94 passed away. But it was her time, you know, dementia really gripped on there. Which is Kissy.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Kissy, correct. So Kissy at Kissy's funeral, Uncle Phil's giving a eulogy, all the family there in suits watching. It was more a celebration of life,y at Kissy's funeral, Uncle Phil's giving a eulogy, all the family there in suits watching. It was more a celebration of life. Nen didn't want a funeral. And Dad's mom, Alma, the Dutch Alma, who's been on the show, collapses in the middle of the eulogy, mid-speech, makes it all about herself. That's what I was saying, Jenna.
Starting point is 00:23:57 I was like, this is the battle of the Nens. She's so fucking jealous. She's like, Kissy's always been the favourite. I'm going to steal her limelight at her celebration of life. And she's like, well, death is a pretty high stake. The only way I can top it is if I die. So she falls to the ground, no pulse. As an episode. What?
Starting point is 00:24:13 Her heart stops beating. So she wasn't actually bunging it on? No, it was real. When Grey started to vomit on herself, it was really a traumatic experience. Oh my God. I, believe it or not, was the one who wrangled the whole room.
Starting point is 00:24:22 My fight off flight kicked in. Wrangled the whole room? Oh yeah light kicked in Wrangled the whole room? Oh yeah, it was five Give her room, give her room Everyone out, out Phil, give two minutes, everyone outside Aunty Julie, I need you to wrap, get everyone out on the back Did anyone know fucking first aid or CPR?
Starting point is 00:24:36 Luckily we had a good friend Claudia who is an ER nurse We had the head of the emergency department from the local hospital there Shout out They went to OMA but they needed a defibrillator So I ran to the 18 year old at the bar and I was like, get me a defibrillator. He's like, shaking us, dude. I'm like, it's a fucking art device. He's like, I thought it was, I'm like, I know, go. So he goes and gets the defibrillator to restart Ulma. She comes back, doesn't need the defibrillator in the end. She comes back naturally, very
Starting point is 00:24:59 weak pulse. Ambulance comes in 10 minutes, carted off to hospital. She's alive and well. But there was a moment where she went gray as a ghost, we all genuinely thought she was gone. And then what was Phil like? Anyway, back to the other Nan. In two hours later, everyone else reconvened and he carried on with his eulogy, his speech. And then a week later, Papa died. Oh, where does he fit into the family tree? Dad's dad, so Ulma's ex-husband. And Ulma's not dead? No, alive. But she did die temporarily. Momentarily.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Yeah, okay. A brief death. A grandparent on each side. How confusing. So now I've got one granddad. When this show ended, I had three. Now I've got one. Three granddads.
Starting point is 00:25:39 No, three grandparents. Is that where you get it? Well, I'm Mitchell Allen Robert Chury. So Robert just died. Is that where you get it? Well I'm Mitchell Alan Robert Chury. So Robert just died. Alan's been gone a while. So there you go. So yeah, that was what happened, been my personal life.
Starting point is 00:25:53 But working freelance as we touched on Mitch, God, like I take everything back. Anything I ever threw your way or accused you of being lazy. Yeah, welcome to my world. The whole, well you wouldn't know because you don't work full time thing. Yeah, yeah. It'd be tough. I told you. Oh my god. Okay, let me catch up to speed. So I'm writing a stand-up show, other Mitchell Coombs. Coming for my turf. It'd be hard. Like, this is funny, but how does it connect? What's the through line? What's the show? So I'm writing it, but I'm trying to- What, linking each bit. Yeah. Yeah. Just making sure there's a full through line. Like there's a theme to the show.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Oh, I see. So the title makes sense. I'm working with Radio killed the radio star. Oh, that's funny. Fun, right. But I also don't want to be about getting fired because it's a bit like, well, as me, who gives a shit? I mean, you may as well make money off it. I know. Right. Monetize it. Yeah. So I'm writing that.
Starting point is 00:26:41 I'm working on a TV show, like a chat show concept that is so foreign to me because I've created a show concept got nominated for an actor award. Thank you. Nice. I lost to Jamie Giri. It was for a new Australian show and he won for a gardening competition. Which he's done numerous times. Which is yeah, just no one's ever done it before. No, no. He thought what if we just put a flower in some soil? And they went, give me 50 grand Jamie Dury. So yeah, I'm trying to get this to a network. So I'm having meetings with networks and executives and going, hi, buy my show.

Although I will say some of our idiots like sort of came to your defense, tried to cancel me in a way because guess who ended up working back at Kiss earlier this year? Oh, they nift about that. Well, no, because I got a call being like, hey, can you come back and do your old job with Kyle and Jackie?

We were so thrilled. I didn't realize Jenna was part of the Lae dynasty. Didn't you? I had no idea. I knew that. Yeah, I'm Jenna Lae.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Yeah. Well, if it's your first time listening, should we get on with this? Are we ready? You should. Welcome to Is It Just Me? Every show we start the same way with two Is It Just Me's. There's something we've noticed,
Starting point is 00:33:21 something we hate or appreciate. We call them IJMs, I-I-J-M's, or I-I-J-M. And Mitch has one, I have one. Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's. And off we go. Should I kick things off? Yeah, go for it. Jenna, are you going to throw one in as well? You may as well. Yeah, yeah, I've got one.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Bradley, welcome back. Oh, sorry, Bradley. Hello. Let's go. Is it just me or? Do you reckon I've been fucking ripped off? Look, I didn't want to say it, but there's mold all through this apartment. Hey, hey, hey, reserve your judgement. In what sense? What do you mean? Well, I'll tell you what's occurred and you tell me if you think I've been ripped off. Okay. Yes. So, um, my friend Talita, you know Talita. Oh, yeah, of course. She gave me a buzz and she says,
Starting point is 00:34:06 well, I'm officially on stress leave from work. And I said, oh, I've been there, babes. And she said, look, it wasn't enforced, but it was encouraged. They said to me, listen, it's been a busy start to the year. Why don't you just take the week to rest up, you know, recuperate, whatever. And she says to me, the problem is that I don't know how to rest.
Starting point is 00:34:27 What does that even look like? How does one rest? Yeah. And then I had a light bulb moment and I said to her, you know what? I was at Scout the other day as in my Pilates studio. Oh, yeah. I was at Pilates and I saw a poster on the wall advertising a rest workshop. Oh, oh. How to rest your optimal nourishment or some wanky shit. Yeah. And I said well you've just said you don't know how to rest
Starting point is 00:34:50 they're doing this thing in a couple of days should we go? It's perfect. And I said to her well I'll go with you it might be daunting going to some random Pilates studio you've never been to so I'll come with you and she was like yeah that sounds amazing I sent her the link she had a look and then texted me back and says, done, I've booked it. I went to book my fucking spot in the how to rest workshop. 65 bucks for starters. That's not that bad.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Really? It's not that bad for to rest. Is there a price on rest? But 65 bucks, I would have thought as a regular, get some sort of members price, but no. Oh, he basically lives at Pout Scalardis. At this point, I'd already committed, I'll take you, it's fine.
Starting point is 00:35:28 And then Sean was like, sounds great, I'll come too. So we went off to this fucking how to rest workshop. And it sounds like how to, right? It sounds like there's gonna be some imparting of information. Teaching. Yes, exactly. So they kicked off by handing out a few little like printouts and shits. I've got one right here actually. I brought it with me. Look.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Oh, here you are. The printout was merely a few fucking inspirational quotes from Instagram. Oh, and it's in black and white. Not even colour. Yeah, I know. They couldn't even spring for the fucking colouring. Rest is not a reward. Rest is productive. They've just screen shot this. Yes. So just a whole lot of that just a bunch of inspo quotes Yeah, and for context it was a two and a half hour workshop
Starting point is 00:36:09 Geeze, I was thinking two and a half hours. I'm gonna learn so much, right? So there was a couple of like, you know workshops and shit at the start the first 15 minutes One of them was um She'd put a bit of butchers paper on the wall and a few texters and she goes now just go and write whatever emotions spring to mind. Guess what Sean got up and wrote? What? No guess. Rest? No. Stressed? No. Startled? That is Sean. Is that not Sean as fuck? Startled. Startled Sean. So he goes up there and writes startled. Razzled. Yeah exactly. And so we we sit back down on the mats and I thought oh there's gonna be a lot He goes up there and writes, startled. Razzled. Yeah, exactly. And so we sit back down on the mats and I thought, oh, there's going to be a lot more
Starting point is 00:36:48 of this. Yeah. Right. And she goes, anyway, let's cut to the chase. We all know what we're here for. It had been 15 minutes of workshopping. The rest was two hours and 15 minutes of napping in broad daylight on a hardwood floor. Oh no. And you paid $65 for this. Yeah you
Starting point is 00:37:07 could have done it in your bed for free and it would have been a fuckload more comfy let me tell you I'd done a Pilates class that morning so my back was already killing me. Imagine trying to nap on a hardwood floor. Wait wait wait. It was so uncomfortable. What did the teacher do while you all napped? I mean to be fair she was fucking lovely you You got, you two know that there's like two versions of me. There's the fair and reasonable and there's the fucking cynical. Yeah there's a few others in between but they're the main two. Well I'll give you the two approaches. The fair and reasonable version of me will tell you she was such a treasure. She actually was. She came round as we're fucking napping and says, Mitchell
Starting point is 00:37:43 are you warm enough? Oh that's sweet. And I was thinking I am but like thank you for asking. I can't remember the last time someone asked me if I'm warm enough. That's actually really nice. Did you manage to sleep at all? No, because for some reason I couldn't separate the fact that this is the same room I come to exercise. Imagine trying to nap on the gym floor. It's just wrong. It's just not right. Taliesha and Sean on the other hand, they frothed it. They walked away being like that was incredible. That was just what I needed. Wow. And then my cynical Mitchell kicked in and I was thinking, this bitch is surely laughing at us behind our back being like, I can't believe they fell for that I just printed off some shit they could have googled and then I just put them to sleep and charge them 65 bucks. Totally Mitchell
Starting point is 00:38:30 you've been duped completely. Oh my god you have. And then you know what really sold it for me at the end of the how to rest she says and just remember the only person in charge of your rest is you. So she's charged you sixty five bucks and then said, fucking go figure it out yourself. What a waste of time and money. Although we did get free, well, not free, sixty five dollar socks. I'm wearing them right now. I've got them from them. They're very cute.
Starting point is 00:38:57 They're very aged care. Yeah, they're like those bed socks that are going to turn real shit in a week. Oh, they have a grippy bottom. No, no. So I got sixty five dollar socks and an uncomfortable nap. Bed socks that are gonna turn real shit in a week. I've had to have a grippy bottom. No No, sorry. I got a $65 socks and an uncomfortable nap Fuck there's a sucker boy in every minute. Yes You can follow the show online just search couple of mitches if you don't you're a dickhead I know I completely forgot it is pig week so I hope you're listening at home
Starting point is 00:39:27 idiots eating a snack has the pizza revived did you order pizza remember I said earlier if you listen to the end of the episode if you order pizza now it might have arrived oh sorry no it's what we call them the bees of call back I know you're new to stand up a crawl back that's what I do I crawl back to it I got these as well No, no, there's more in my bag of goodies chocolate coated strawberries and cream Shut your mouth. Give it to me now. I'll stick it fell off They listed as smoked almonds. Oh
Starting point is 00:40:02 Did you did you put them through his almond? Yeah, I'm not paying $9 a kilo I'll pay a paying a dollar a kilo. So wait, is this from like the bit at your Woolies where they've got the scoop? Yeah, I went to your local Woolies, which turns out is fancy. Oh, the fancy Woolies. They had a whole scoop section, so I just went scooping, but as I was scooping, I was eating.
Starting point is 00:40:15 I just sampled them. It says no sampling, but I still do it. Oh, that's real nice. Aren't they good? Chocolate and strawberry. Do you want one Jenny? Yeah, I wanna try it. There you go.
Starting point is 00:40:22 They're really good. At a Woolies Metro near you. Thank you. Oh, they're fucking amazing. Aren't they incredible? Mm. I'm also going to have a Cheez-All. Savory and sweet, you know? They're good.
Starting point is 00:40:30 It's all about that combo. Are they not incredible, did I tell you, or did I tell you? Yeah, you're right. We have a long show ahead of us. Should I jump in with my agent? Yeah, you're better. All right, Bradley.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Is it just me? Oh. Do you think Royal Kingdom is a money laundering scheme? The app? The game? Oh that thing. The thing I keep seeing ads for. Oh my god. And it's got Phoebe and Monica from Friends in the ad and they're playing some stupid
Starting point is 00:40:59 game on their iPhone. Have a listen to this if you missed it. Ready? Wi-Fi is down. Oh great. What am I going to do for the next five hours? Play the new puzzle game Royal Kingdom. It's the perfect way to pass time on long flights. I'm not listening to any of that bullshit. That's ridiculous. That is two of the biggest actresses in Hollywood flogging a game called Royal Kingdom. Did you also think at first surely this is AI? Yes I do. Why would they put their name to it? That's what I thought when I saw fucking Monica and Phoebe. Yeah, they also have Kevin Hart. They have so many people. The gay couple from Modern Family. That's the one that keeps popping up for me. They rebooted Modern Family for Royal Kingdom. Those characters are done.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Yes. They would have paid millions for the Stars of Friends. The Stars of Friends did the episode of Friends for a million dollars each. How much, how much money can an application have? It doesn't make sense. But also who was playing this game? There's no one. No one is playing Royale. Is there no one in this room?
Starting point is 00:41:53 No. They did one with Kevin Hart where he was mid stand up set and he was yelling at an audience member for playing Royale Kingdom. And then he gets so invested in Royale Kingdom, he downloads it himself on the stage. Oh my God. It's ridiculous. But where is that money coming from? I think it's drugs. And then he gets so invested in Royal Kingdom, he downloads it himself on the stage. Oh my god. It's ridiculous. But where is that money coming from? I think it's drugs, it's money laundering.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Sure, they have to be cleaning money. Because also I seem to recall, because I did watch the entire ad which had Monica and Phoebe in it. Oh I did too. Did they mention, there's no annoying ads popping up on screen. Yes. So where's the bloody money coming from? Where does the money come from?
Starting point is 00:42:22 Are they expecting people to like, you know, they have to buy a certain amount of points to pass the checkpoint and so people are going to start spending money on the game? I have, you know, like the new bloody Club Penguin or Angry Birds. Oh, I used to buy a little Doodle Fitz for my Doodle Jump character. I bought the Christmas knit sweat out. I bought the Easter bunny ears for Doodle Jump. I love it in that purchase. There's only one iPhone game that I've actually loved and I still play it to this day.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Yeah. Parking Jam. What's Parking Jam? What is that? Exactly what it sounds like. Oh, is that where you move the cars out of the parking lot? Yes. Oh, that's incredible.
Starting point is 00:42:55 Oh, I'm gonna get that. It's so good. Yeah, I've played it. But you've got to make sure you don't hit the dot Wiggins in the car park. There's an old lady driving around. Oh, no. You lose points. And I'm amazing at it.
Starting point is 00:43:03 I'm not gonna lie. Yeah, I can imagine. The only app that I like is realistic bridge construction games where you have to build a suspension bridge and then cars drive over it and if you haven't done it correct it collapses and everyone dies. How quickly do you have to build the bridge? It takes like 20 minutes. Oh see that's too much for me. Because it's a suspension bridge like you need to correctly weigh it and balance the cars. Oh not too much, I'm out. Once it's a suspension bridge, like you need to correctly weigh it and balance the cars. Oh, not too much, I'm out.
Starting point is 00:43:26 It's a lot. Once you involve physics and shit, nah, I'm out. Yeah, and you were saying before we turned the mics on, Jenna, you love Grindr. Yeah, I do. I do. Yeah. But you know, Royal Kingdom can fuck right off, nil interest. I'm seeing the ads over and over again and they've not gotten me over the line.
Starting point is 00:43:38 Same. Same. No, I'm not into it. Same. Also, what a moniker and Bing, or whatever her name is. Phoebe. Phoebe. I've never seen friends, Phoebe, doing on a flight together. I've never seen friends Phoebe doing on a flight together. You've never seen friends?
Starting point is 00:43:47 No. You have such strong opinions about that show for someone who's never seen it. I've got the gist. They're all in a cafe. Nah, not all the time. No, no. Oh, they're all in an apartment and guess what? Grumpy cat singing.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Smelly cat. Smelly cat. It's one of Phoebe's originals. Yes, Phoebe's. And the neighbours nude. Like grow up. So you have seen it then. Ugly naked guy and such. I've watched a few episodes.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Oh, so you have. I have, but not like seeing it like you depressingly watch Grey's Anatomy. I feel like Grey's Anatomy is a bit different, but the only reason I watch Friends now is because it's like an old comfort watch. But if I was watching it for the first time, I'd be like, it's not that funny because it's actually not. Yeah. No, it's not. It's also quite problematic. Oh, very, very problematic. I am. I, my ex used to fall asleep watching Friends.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Like it was a habit that he had when he to sleep, when he was alone. Out loud. Yes, because he needed something to play in his head because he was so sick and twisted. Anyway, then when we got together and started sleeping in the same room, like the first night, he's like, all right, I'm off to bed. I'm like, this is fun. My first, I'm like, oh, anyway, then I hear, you just play them on loop on Stan, of course. And yeah, now on Max, are they?
Starting point is 00:44:59 Oh, I can't contractually mention that one. Stan has it all. I'll tell you what's on Stan. I'm gonna do the heavy lifting for you. McCloud's Daughters is back. That's true. And they just added Offspring. Yes.
Starting point is 00:45:12 My two favourite fucking shows. Can I just say Stan has Hacks. If you're not watching Hacks on Stan. Hacks is the best. Hacks is one of the best shows I've ever seen in my life. It is sensational. Also the new Love Triangle is very good. I'm trying to look into your eyes
Starting point is 00:45:23 and see if you're telling the truth. That's part of the contract. Hacks is genuinely very good. I'm trying to look into your eyes and see if you're telling the truth. No, I am. No, Hacks is genuinely really good. I am an ambassador for Stan. Actually, you've mentioned Hacks before. Yes. Before you were a Stan ambassador. I have. No, no, I've got no, I don't have any mentions as part of my contract. Oh, OK. That was just a little freebie. Did you say Phoebe? Back to friends.
Starting point is 00:45:41 That's only on Max. No, that's a callback. A crawlback. See? Yeah. Dan, have you got an inch of them up your sleeve? Okay, yeah, I'll do one. We're running out of time, so keep it sweet. Keep it sweet? Not sure.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Just sweet. Yeah, it could be as long as you want, but it better be sweet. Bradley? Is it just me? Or? Is there too much Harry Potter merch out there? Oh, I agree. Everywhere I go there's Harry Potter merch.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Vinny's. I went to Vinny's. For goodness sake, shut up. Yes, there was a Hufflepuff Duffle at Vinny's. I thought how did that get from Universal Tokyo all the way to Granada Vinny's? It's probably because they were boycotting JK Rowling in the end. That's true. You probably know.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Then why is it everywhere? So you know that- Where are you going? I've not seen any. No. So there's this place, it's like a shop that sells blind boxes, but it's not, which is like Labooboo, but different, which is like Potmark, right? So they have all like the Japanese Chinese characters.
Starting point is 00:46:41 And then at the back they have a whole lot of Harry Potter merch. Right. No and I'm talking like elaborate Harry Potter merch. Yeah. And it's just like is there a reason behind this? What do you mean elaborate? Have they got birdie bots every flavoured beans and shit? Yeah they've got that. They've got these different like coffee cup things with broomsticks and all this on it. Do you remember when they used the fucking chocolate frogs at Woolie? Yes. Did they? Yes. Yeah that was exciting. That was exciting. You know when merchandise chocolate is normally it's normally Woolly. Yes. Did that happen? Yeah, that was exciting. That was exciting. You know when merchandise chocolate is normally, it's normally shit chocolate?
Starting point is 00:47:09 Yeah. Nah, it was like basically a Freddo in the shape of a proper frog. And it was like a thick frog. I was going to say in the shape of a frog, Freddo is literally a frog. But no, it looked like a chocolate frog. I really wanted to eat. It looked like Trevor.
Starting point is 00:47:20 I wanted to eat that chocolate frog, but as a frog, like with it's like the texture of a real frog I don't know why that's all I want to do. Would want yeah any okay the ones in the hats the sorting hats that mechanical it's just too much yeah I agree and then rebooting Harry Potter there's a new. HBO Max show it's like it's a remake it's a reboot yeah it's a series. Why bother with that when you can just watch Sam? It was actually quite funny over Christmas. My sister was like, OK, the whole J.K. Rowling transphobia boycott, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:54 It doesn't count if I reread the books that I've already purchased. Right. I owned the copy before that. That doesn't count as supporting. I said, no, that's fine. But if you're going to show the films to your children you're gonna have to show them Harry Potter and the stone and just tell them that was Harry Potter yeah have you seen Harry Potter and the stone mm-hmm the first one no Harry that's Harry Potter and the philosophy oh my god I've got a lisp guys I can't do this
Starting point is 00:48:19 Philosopher's Stone yes of course I have no Harry Potter and the stone on YouTube it's someone like shot by shot scene by, just doing a really povo remake of Harry Potter, but it's so funny. Like Hermione's a man. Have you done this on the show before? Never, I only discovered it recently. Harry Potter and the Stone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Okay, now I'll have to keep you up. We don't have time to fucking get into it, but do yourself a favour. It is so stupid. Yeah, okay, I think I won't. No, no, trust me, you of all people will find it funny. You will. I know what tickles your fucking funny vote don't worry. It does. Um all right well thanks for that Jenna. I just don't want any more Harry Potter merch. No stop with the Harry Potter merch. I don't want it. Well don't buy it. I don't want to see it. Yeah no I agree with you completely.
Starting point is 00:49:00 I bought this shirt the protect the dolls shirt it's a it's a. Oh I noticed that that's really nice. Protect the dolls. Protect haven't you seen this shirt? I protect the dolls shirt. It's a, it's a, Oh, I noticed that. That's really nice. Yes. Protect the dolls. Protect. Have you seen this shirt? I've seen it on, I think, Instagram and stuff. Pedro Pascal wore it to the premiere. I think of The Last of Us 2. It's a, it's, you haven't heard of it, Mitchell?
Starting point is 00:49:15 Let me get the photo up. Oh, really? Connor Ives is a designer. He lives in New York. He works in fashion. When? It's, um, It was worth a shot, guys, for all time. Say not doing it. They wore it at Fashion Week I think this year, but all proceeds go to Trans Lifeline
Starting point is 00:49:30 in the US. The dolls are our trans dolls of the world. Oh right, I see. Yes, yes. So I wanted to buy it, but I got called out by someone in Surry Hills. She was like, is that the Conneryve shirt? And I was like, oh, it's actually not the Conneryve shirt. It's just like a red bubble version because the Conneryve and I was like, oh, it's actually not the Connery shirt. It's just like a, it's like a red bubble version because the arrive shirt is sold
Starting point is 00:49:47 out. So then she said that's really bad because all his proceeds go to trans lifeline to which I said, well, guess what? I don't know. I sent the money to trans lifeline. I made a donation. Did you actually? Yes, of course. Okay. Well that's fine. That's really nice. Because otherwise it would have seen our point. No, in Australian dollars, I didn't do 75 USD.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Because the red bubble shirt was 15. How much did the red bubble bullshit cost? Oh, I think this was 20. Oh, okay. So like 60 bucks. Yeah, no, you spent more than you needed to. Yeah, well I felt because I just knew that I could get in trouble. But then when I came to your building today, the lady at reception was like, oh, that's
Starting point is 00:50:19 a genuine Conner Ives. I can tell because of the thinness. Oh my God, I didn't realise. The thinness? Wow. Yeah, because it's actually quite thin, the Conner. I thought it was genuine the thinness. I'm like, oh my God, I didn't realise. The thinness? Yeah, because it's actually quite thin. I thought it was genuine. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:50:28 You're across the controversy. Yes, because if you don't buy, you should donate the whole thing. I'm sure it is. Protect the dolls. When I wore it, Jenna's like, I agree, we should protect the Labooboos. And I'm like, no, Jenna, you've got it, you've got it, you've wiped it across. They need to be protected. At all costs.
Starting point is 00:50:42 The Lafoofoo's are taking over. They really are. You're listening to Is It Just Me? No, but they need to be protected. At all costs. The Lafoofoo's are taking over. They really are. You're listening to Is It Just Me? Got something on your mind? Hit up at Cobble of Mitches on Instagram to get yourself on the show. All right, well, as you know, every Monday, except for every Monday in 2025 until now, we like to get an idiot of ours on the phone to share
Starting point is 00:51:06 and is it just you? People didn't know that we were coming back for a surprise reunion. No, we barely did. So obviously we haven't had anyone putting their hand up to come on the show, but we've still got the show phone. Correct. So maybe we should just scroll through the texts
Starting point is 00:51:22 that we've been sent in the past and just call someone out of nowhere. Did we get any messages, Mitchell Mitchell after we cancelled the show? Yes, a lot of like heartbroken ones. Read some, is there anything you'd like to say? And then we've had a few recently being like, is this thing still on? And I've replied, yes. And they're like, I feel like I'm talking to someone beyond the grave.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Yeah. Well, you had to buy credit for the phone, didn't you? I did, so that we could make this phone call. So if these bitches don't answer, I swear. I felt so good buying all the stuff for Pig Week on the company card. I'm like, this is great. I forgot we have this thing. Just lying around. Here's the company card.
Starting point is 00:51:48 I know. Here's Jenna. The amount of interest we earn on that shit, because it's just sitting there. It's just cash. The Dubai chocolate was expensive. Oh, send us the receipt. Yeah, I'll reimburse you, Chook.
Starting point is 00:51:57 No worries. All right, let's just ring random numbers. So I'm just going to scroll through all the texts that have been sent to this number. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Let's have a quick look. We've got Steph, we've got Sienna from Bendigo. I feel like Steph is a name of a listener we've had on the show a hundred times. I feel like we've got 40 Stephs, honestly. I agree. Um, this text came from Peter. I miss the pot already.
Starting point is 00:52:36 I wish you all the best. Mostly Cheery. Because he's the only one that replies to me on Insta. Jenna and Coombs don't. Love you all, Peter. Well, you've got no excuse, Jenna. Mitch would get influx of twinks. When has Peter? Who's Peter? You know, I do get an influx, but also I'm pretty good at replying to people. Yes. Sorry, Peter. Peter. Who else? Ethan from Mildura.
Starting point is 00:52:59 Oh, we could do an Ethan. A guy could be good. We often do women. I don't have any messages from a Peter. Jenny, you do. He could be like P-27, whatever the fuck, you know. All right. Just ring. Just ring. Are you backing in Ethan from Mildura? Back in Ethan from Mildura. He might not answer. Should we just like, just talk like normal?
Starting point is 00:53:17 Yeah. Hey, it's Mitch Mitch and Jenna. What the fuck? Yeah, definitely. Because at the time of recording, he won't know that. No, there's no announcement that the show's back. But actually, because we're springing this on everyone. He needs to keep it quiet. Yeah, and so all we know is his name, Ethan from Mildura. That energy, does he feel trustworthy? Is he gonna blab in the idiots group?
Starting point is 00:53:36 Oh my god they're doing a reunion and it's gonna be dropping for the Monday episode! Yeah I think Ethan sounds like a gasbagger. To be fair anyone who listens to this show is a gossip. True. We're gonna run the risk with anyone. Let's do it. All right. Well, hopefully Ethan from Mildura doesn't play on us All right. Here we go. Come on, Ethan. Whenever you're ready, mate Ethan it's Mitch Mitch and Jenna? Hello? Hello? Ethan, it's Mitch Mitch and Jenna. How are you?
Starting point is 00:54:11 Yeah, good thanks. How are you? Yeah, good Ethan. What are you up to? I'm studying pretty much. Oh, well we might leave you too. Yeah, well sorry Tunnel. Sorry Ethan. He was not interested. Oh, we hung up! Sorry. If you're,, well, sorry, Tunnel. Sorry, Ethan. He was not interested. Oh, we hung out! Sorry. If you're, I'm, this is for you. If Rove called back. Yes!
Starting point is 00:54:31 If Princess fucking Diana sent you a cameo, you'd ask some questions. You'd be like, what? Yes! That is the response we get from our comeback. Hello? If it was Halloween and you got a trick or treat from Maddie McCann, I'll pay it. Oh, pay the money, pay the money, pay the money.
Starting point is 00:54:52 You'd have a bit of gusts over about your response, wouldn't you? On that, since you mentioned Maddie McCann, I'll pay it again, don't worry. They apparently found her killer. The problem with having that as my legacy joke is that any time any updates in that case happens- Oh,s are flooded with updates on Maddie McGann, which is good. There's another doll. I hope they find her. I really do. And it looks like they have found the murder. Oh, not murder. The prime suspect. What about Sienna from Bendigo?
Starting point is 00:55:18 Why not? Yeah, let's go Sienna. She sent us a few messages, so I feel like the bar is already so low. Hopefully she's not studying. Oh my god Ethan just texted. What did he say? What the fuck you guys are back war is over. Oh where was that week when we called you? Oh Ethan. Alright call Heidi or whatever her name was. Sienna from Ben and Gaia. Heidi. Closing my eyes I'm stressed. It's like the bloody cash cow isn't it? Hello? Hi Sienna it's Mitch Mitch and Jenna. Hi Sienna. Is it actually? Yeah. Oh my god. We're back. Are you serious? Yes we've never been more serious. We're not back for good we're just back for pig week and we were going through the phone. You texted us before so we thought well we'll see if she wants to do it it just me or Arayn? Yeah. I'm just at IGA and I just, my phone started ringing and this is not what I was expecting to happen.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Yeah. Well, listen, we need to do it. Sorry to spring it on you. We need to ask something of you, Margaret. We need you not to tell anyone, none of the idiots because no one, we're recording this before we put it out. Obviously. Obviously. I'm how it works. I'm just explaining it, thank you. She's not in the biz.
Starting point is 00:56:27 She's not in entertainment, she wouldn't get it. Sienna, that you can't blab. OK, I promise. Oh my gosh, I've never felt more special in my life. Good. Oh, I'm glad to hear it, darling. Do you reckon you could pull an is it just me out of your arse? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:48 I'm trying to remember what I texted you guys about. Oh Mitch should have it. Oh well why don't you just have a look around on the shelves at IGA and anything jump into mind. Babe we can really spin out a wee-wee-weave a story out of anything like you won't talk about cost of living. Cause I was gonna say if I read out your itchum then that kind of spoils it a bit. That's true. Yeah, yeah. Oh true.. Oh, here it is.
Starting point is 00:57:05 Is it just me or have you also achieved vehicular manslaughter? Wow. That's just you. It's not with you. Yeah, that sounds like me. What do you have, Sienna? Oh, I've got a good one.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Okay, all right. It'll be very relatable. All right, Bradley, count her in. Is it just me or? A sale price is absolutely a joke. Yes, I know you mean. Especially at IGA. The tickets because they're like yellow ticket on sale, but it's not really a sale because the price originally was already inflated.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Yes, if you lift the ticket, often the special isn't even a special. No, that's exactly the same. It's an incentive to buy. It's the missing. It's 10 cents cheaper. And they're like, you know, low prices, special. Yeah. You know what I've recently cottoned onto? Like the two for eight deal when one of them is just $4, but they're like, but you can do two for eight. I'm like, that's, you're just doing the math. So am I.
Starting point is 00:57:57 I feel like a win. So that's fun. Yeah. You know what? In Woolworths. It's just as soon as you see the yellow stickers, you're like, yep, it's got me. But then if you lift this to graph, it seems it's the same price. Totally. Yeah. It's a rule. Or it's only 10 cents more expensive. Well, you know what I really hate? At Woolworths and maybe some Coles now,
Starting point is 00:58:16 the ticket prices are all electronic. I don't like that. They're not paper. They update them via the cloud so they can go up like petrol prices live. It's literally electronic They've got little TV screens on everything. I've never seen they're not TV screens. They're the same technology that's in a Kindle So it's like the paper. It's like the ink. Oh It's it makes me live it. I've never seen that. No, I know see sitting there
Starting point is 00:58:38 No, I'm gonna get these bananas for two up two dollars and twenty. They've just gone up. What sort of fucking fancy? Metro like we're in the fancy ones. Um, wooly's are you going to? A lot of Metro, like wooly's Metro and all that. They're in the fancy ones. So how long have you listened to the show Deb? Sienna. Actually since not my cup of tea. Oh good girl, thank you. What have you popped in your trolley, any good specials?
Starting point is 00:59:00 Um, well I've just got some Savoy's and some cheese. Some what? Poise Pats? Savoy's. Oh Savoy's. Savoy's, I thought you said poise Pats just got some Savoy's and some cheese to take. Some what? Poise Pats? Some Savoy's. Oh Savoy's. Savoy's, I thought you said Poise Pats. Like your Savaloy's. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:10 What about anything for pig week? Is pig week coming up? Well, that's why we're here, darling, so you better stock up. Go to the Chockeye. Yeah. As I should. As you fucking well should. As you should.
Starting point is 00:59:22 You know what? You should get the Coco Bella, the H2 coconut water with chocolate. That's what we're drinking. Yeah. Oh, I've seen people use that and then heat it up and it's almost like a hot chocolate. Oh, you're a genius. Yeah. Yeah, that's really good. I mean, I tried some just earlier.
Starting point is 00:59:37 You'll hear it on Monday, CNA. You don't want to miss it. You're going to have a real laugh when you do. It just in the spirit of pigging, it feels almost healthy. It's fucking coconut water. And it was a trend. Yeah, I to miss it. You're going to have a real laugh when you do. Just in the spirit of pigging, it feels almost healthy. It's fucking coconut water. And it was a trend. Yeah, I did enjoy it. Yeah. I got the Dubai chocolate. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. It's pretty fucking good.
Starting point is 00:59:54 It's delicious. Fuck the people who don't like the chewing. Yeah, the misophobes. Yes, I agree. Yeah, I agree with you. I agree. Yeah. Now it's not a good episode for them to be celebrating our return We've been chewing all time. We have been anyway, we could talk all day. Um, it was so nice to chat to you Thank you for listening. You've missed us. No doubt. I'm sure could could you find a show that fills the void? Oh
Starting point is 01:00:16 No, I've just been listening to old episode. Oh, it's not good. Yeah people have tried but it's not possible No, statistically, there's no way that you can fill the void. Well we're back for one day and one day only. Thanks for being part of it Chook. Thanks Hannah. Let's see you in up now. Love you guys. Love you. Love you.

Starting point is 01:00:46 I know. It didn't sound like the IGA was super busy did it? No. Well IGA's are always, they're small town aren't they? They're independent grocers. I love a good IGA. I do too. Seriously. I love that they're named after the owner of the franchise.
Starting point is 01:00:57 Yeah. Like Richies. Yeah I've got a Richies, I think he owns a few actually. Yeah he does. Oh well they're just greedy aren't they? Yeah.

Starting point is 01:01:57 are still floating around. Like it hasn't died off at all. The group chat's popping off every day. The group is still active. And that is like such a compliment to us actually. It's really nice because we said all the things that we needed to say in the last episode. It means so much to us that we've built this community, which is true, but it's somehow even more true now that they're still alive and kicking even though the podcast isn't. So that's really nice. Yeah, we love you. And just because this is again technically our
Starting point is 01:02:24 last episode ever Doesn't mean we're not gonna podcast again in the near future or the future. I was gonna say yeah, it'll happen Yeah, this might be the last time we speak into a microphone and out in each other's midst. That's right Jenna's holding a cupcake like we get it. You want us to wrap? Yeah Can I eat it? Eat it eat it eat it. Fucking bitch. She went for the red velvet. That's what I was thinking Yeah. Can I eat it now? Eat it, eat it, eat it.

Starting point is 01:02:57 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's done, but it's not. We keep on rolling. Which is a bit like what we did in early December. We pretend the show's done, but it's not. Yeah, these last six months have just been a giant AD debrief. Yeah, pretty much. It's the longest pause ever. I know, it really is. Hi YouTube as well. Look, we're having us, we can see ourselves on the monitor. Yeah, I've screen mirrored my phone that's filming us to the TV. So people who are watching on YouTube, if this actually happens,
Starting point is 01:03:45 Chiri is confidently saying we're going to put this on YouTube. We'll see. I'll try. You'll notice if you're watching on YouTube that I just keep looking at my reflection, going, oh, I've got to touch up this and fly away over here. I do it too. Fixing my hair. My tummy, I don't like it, so I'm covering my, I love to sit like this. Are you being really mindful of how you cross your legs? Yes. You don't want to, you know, cover the message of protect the dolls.
Starting point is 01:04:08 No, I don't. Of course not. I have like a I'm very long. So I have like I look so big next to you, Mitchell. If you listen to this show for the last five years and you think, wow, what do I actually look like? I look humongous next to you. You look like Hagrid and I look like Harry Potter in seventh grade. Hi This is touching my hand. This is gonna be really interesting for people who aren't watching on YouTube or if it never makes it to YouTube
Starting point is 01:04:32 But like I just want everyone to know that these proportions aren't accurate You're not actually that much bigger and taller than me. I look like someone's shrunk. It's not an illusion. This is real I'm sitting over here. It's not real. It does look like it's because you've got the poof in front. I've got the L. I'm next to it. I'm slouching a bit because I've got the L of the couch. What if I sit upright? Oh, you're not sitting upright. No, I'm not. I'm slouching too. That makes no difference. Oh, now it's worse. I'm sitting on something that is fucking hurting my ass. What's his name? Oh you know what this is? What? I don't know why this is in my pocket. I take it for good luck. It was when my Nan
Starting point is 01:05:11 when Kissy passed away, we were very close, she had something in a drawer for me and I was like it's so random because I had jewelry, she gave me earrings and a ring whatever. Look it's a four leaf clover. Wow. That her brother gave her. But it's in a love heart. It's in a piece of resin love heart but it's a real four leaf clover wow that her brother gave her but it's in a love heart it's in a piece of resin love hub it's a real fully clover. And then was my name was mcbeth does my my family names with Beth and her brother was patrick's and patch like we were all very connected to Ireland. And this little shamrock this fully cover she left to me. Shamrock this fully clover she left to me. I don't know what it means but I remember going into her bedroom doesn't have any good luck. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Yeah, of course. But she thought he needs it. Yeah. I know. I know even through dementia. She's like, fuck you got five. Um, yeah, I just, but I have it. And so I just carry it with me.
Starting point is 01:05:54 I think I must've had a meeting or something, but yeah, that's very special and you literally just referred to it as a pain in your ass. I didn't know what it was. What's this in my ass? I don't know what it is, but I love you my arse? I don't know what it is but love you Nan, love you Kissy, I miss ya. Kissy for Kissy. Seriously. Now I also got some popcorn.
Starting point is 01:06:13 Did she spell it with a double I like your former employer? No, no. K-I-S-S-I-E. How old fashioned. Kissy Calera, but she was bullied so she changed it to Claire. Oh I like Kissy. Kissy Kallera has a ring to it anyway. Everyone at the wake, because she changed it when she was like 12 or 13 and she died
Starting point is 01:06:33 at 94. You can do that? Do you have to get a permission note like an excursion? No, back in those days you just feel like, just said it differently and then it would happen. Like it wasn't as legal. But at her celebration of life, everyone was like, are we at the wrong? Who's kissy? Like no one knew her as kissy. It was only the family sort of knew.
Starting point is 01:06:51 You know, her last moments, cause your nan has dementia. So you know what it's like to get like a moment of lucidity and when they're fully cognizant and with it. And she hadn't been even being verbal for like a couple of weeks or months. So I go and sit with her two days before she died for like a couple of weeks or months. So I go and sit with her two days before she died. And she looks at me and she goes, Mitchell, oh, Mitchell, my Mitchell holds my hand. And that was the last time I spoke to her. But it was such a nice final moment because there was just months of her not even knowing who was in the room. So I'll take that away. Oh, Nan hasn't gotten to that point yet. Yeah, it gets hard. I don't think she's been fully lucid and the whole time I've been alive.
Starting point is 01:07:25 But it's still the point where it says little things like we went and visited her over Easter in the nursing home. Oh, she's in a home. Yeah. And my sister had already visited her with, you know, all of my nieces and nephew. And we walked in and she goes, hello, darling, did you guys just get down yesterday? Nicole's like, I was fucking here on Monday. That was that was a waste of time clearly because you forgot that I visited. Yeah. Little things like that but yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Oh when they go nonverbal that's the hardest because it's like it's easy that it's not easy but it is an easier blow to deal with because you already kind of mourn their person because you've lost them you know before they actually physically die. That's the whole thing. We have this podcast made you feel better. No, well, you know, we've got to talk about while we're all still in our 20s. Oh, sorry, Jen. Oh, no. But you look so good. Thank you. All that money from the Liberal Party funding your La Mer skincare collection.
Starting point is 01:08:18 The lace. Yeah. Can you believe I'm 30 this year? Oh, yeah. Are you doing anything? Yeah, I'm going to have a party. Oh, I bet you are because you made You're not going to have a party. I bet you are because you made such a big deal for an insignificant birthday, like a 28th.
Starting point is 01:08:30 I had to say a fucking speech. Yeah. We had to do speeches. It was so miffed that you were put on the spot. Dad was like, come on, Coombsle, whatever he calls you. No, no. I reckon I saw it. But I then put you on the spot to say a speech at my birthday and you fucking... I flopped. Yeah. Yeah. I was terrified. But you do I then put you on the spot to say a speech at my birthday and you fucking I thought yeah
Starting point is 01:08:45 Yeah, I was terrified Yeah, it's a bit of a big ask isn't it? I was also at a pub and they were calling out meat raffle numbers mid speech Oh my god, so I know Jenna can I tell you something? Yes, you know how like my local bolo is my church Yes, yes, I go there every Friday and Sunday. Yep, even Even less I've got something else on it. It's like my default. Yeah. It's what I do. So because all the friends of mine in this suburb, we all just catch up there. Yeah. And a friend and I walked in and we were like, oh, none of our people are here.
Starting point is 01:09:16 And there were all these screaming kids who were like, actually, this isn't a vibe. Let's go. Yeah. And so as we're walking out to exit after being there for 20 seconds, we spot Mitch's former producer, Grace, walking in. I said, Oh, hi, darlin gave her a hug. What are you doing here? And she goes, Oh, Chiri's inside. What? Why? And I was like, we're getting dinner.
Starting point is 01:09:37 This is a unique sort of betrayal I've not had to conquer before. It wasn't a betrayal. He went to my Pablo without me and didn't tell me. That's mean. Isn't that so bad? That is mean. It'd be like me eating the fucking cherry sandwich at whatever cafe it is.
Starting point is 01:09:53 That's different. Cronulla is remote. You'd have to travel to Cronulla. Remote? No, no, no. You're not in Cronulla. You're talking to me about remote? You live in the metropolitan region.
Starting point is 01:10:05 So I'm also around here for work and whatever things. So, but if you would have come to Cronulla, it's like an event. Well, you best believe if I go to Cronulla, I'm not saying a word. Oh no, don't. Well, I'm not saying a word. If Grace hadn't told me and I'd gone inside,
Starting point is 01:10:19 I just wouldn't have seen you. I'll have you know that I checked on Find My. You did tell me. I checked Find My and saw that you were on your checked on find my I checked my Mitch is coming shit already walking there And guess what I won the Easter meat raffle of course you but you're not the seafood so you won't get food Oh my god. I got fucking ghiardia from some off-prong. I remember that yeah So it'd be like me going to Zumba without you Jenna. Yeah, that's just me man. I get it That's rude. It'd be like Monica going to Central Perk without Chandy
Starting point is 01:10:58 Going to the emergency room without Sandra Oh room without Sandra Oh I was like what do you mean is inside now Sandy going to the Krusty Krab without Patrick sorry Sean I'm worried about him check his phone my I can if you want but he doesn't usually get home for another half hour and get out I don't think we should keep going for another half hour. This is like turning into fucking Titanic. We're going to have a second day. I'm off with Sean for a bit. You want I worked with Sean for a bit.
Starting point is 01:11:33 Yeah, actually, hang on. You've also backstabbed me because without telling me, Sean goes, Oh, yeah, Jenna came into work today. And I said, what? As in where he works? Parliament House. Yeah, I saw that selfie. And I said said what the fuck was Jenna doing at Parliament House? Really? Aunty Susan was in town? No, he employed her to come in and give a social media 101 workshop to all the boomer politicians.
Starting point is 01:11:56 I was like, what do you mean? These two wouldn't know each other if not for me and yet I wasn't in the loop. I know it's none of my business, but I was like, how the fuck did I not know this is happening? I found it so funny. You had no idea. All right, Pauline, this is called a TikTok. We don't swipe up anymore. It's Lincoln's story. Jenna, how was that?
Starting point is 01:12:26 It was really fun, actually. Well, we both betrayed you. We're terrible friends. You know that Sean was thrilled because he said to me like a week before your little stint in parliament that he gave his sister a tour of Parliament House. And she was like, whatever. And same deal. When he gave me a tour of Parliament House, I was like, I don't give a fuck.
Starting point is 01:12:44 And he goes, no one ever gets excited about my Parliament House tours but you can imagine Jenna she goes this is so cool can I take photos? I was like can we go into that room? It was a lot of fun. Who did you teach? Like did you actually teach Parliamentary? Yeah yeah. What how to use social media? Yeah. And what how to not like gay porn on their Twitter accounts? Pretty much. But the tour was so much fun. Now, every time I walk past them, like, I know that room. That's really funny. I've been there for a school excursion. You have to go through the metal detector at the start of the security, right?
Starting point is 01:13:15 Yeah. I'd be interested in it. That's quite cool. Tell Sean I'd love to come. Oh, he will. He would fucking do that at the drop of a hat. Yeah, I used to love doing radio tours for friends and family. Like that was a fun novelty of working at a radio station. Remember, we'd take everyone around. Yeah, that'd be fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:29 I mean, it was the biggest flex in my life when I took mum to work for the day and she met Jess Rowe. Oh my God, that was a gorgeous. Of course. We couldn't shut them up. Oh, genuinely. Like they would not stop talking. And then your mum started just bleeding from the heart.
Starting point is 01:13:44 Jess is a country woman. What are you talking about, Jane? I know. Like I don't plan to edit this episode, but fuck me, there was some cuts made to that. You're going to have to. Well, guys, thank you for listening to this little bonus. It's been fun. Back to eternal rest for us.
Starting point is 01:14:02 We're just going to, we're like, sleeping beauty. We're just waiting to we're like, um, sleeping beauty. We're just waiting for someone to come kiss us away. Totally. We're like in Futurama, how Fry was frozen for a bit, then came back and all was good and it was quite funny. Have you got a simile for us, Tina? It's like when Ellen Pompeo left Grey's Anatomy, but she still narrates it and comes back every now and then. Oh, is she not in it anymore?
Starting point is 01:14:22 No, not as much. She's not in every episode, but she doesn't write every episode I'm writing it and possibly mmm voice cloning the bill and they could that's actually a good point You know what everyone else has been doing AI radio shows AI AI AI AI we did it first We did it before it was even yeah, it was terrible It was horrible. I know I heard Kyle and Jackie Oh rip our segment off. They did it Do you remember when I'm happy to out them when they stole coughing rip our segment off. They did it. Do you remember when, I'm happy to out them, when they stole coughing fit chicken. Yeah. Yeah, it was funny.
Starting point is 01:14:49 When we, our first ever segment, coughing fit chicken, which went viral. It was so funny when Mitch had dared me to call someone and cough, call them say hello and then just cough at their face. Should we call Ethan back to demonstrate? There you go, just call him back. Sorry, just as you were wrapping it up. Yeah. We may as well, we can, you know, show through telling.
Starting point is 01:15:07 So, coughing fit chicken works as follows. You call someone, you break out into a coughing fit and see how long it takes them to hang up. You just got to persist with the coughing. No, we had to stop because it really flared up my seasonal asthma. Yeah, you got bad. You've had cough rest for a while. You'll be fine. Here we go.

No. I've done smoke by the way, I don't know what's wrong with my lungs. I was going to say, I don't know if it has anything to do with the hot girl walks or some shit, but you've taken a step back.
