This episode was recorded on Camaragal land. Hi guys, and welcome back to another episode of Life Uncut. I'm Brittany. And I'm Laura. Couldn't be more excited about today's guest. I don't even need, usually we do a big introduction and we put some gas up their butt and we prop them up, but Mitch has got enough gas up his butt. We stick gas up his butt. That's my, after this break, a reunion and I get gas up the butt to start.

A little bit of helium. Just there you are, floating off in the sky. Oh my God, we're back guys. Mitch, we did have like a full intro for you, but in case you don't know who Mitch is, Mitch Churi on the podcast today was, he's one of our closest friends. He was. He was. No.

What happened? Well, I was going to start with, he was our radio co-host, but I thought let's start with the friendship. He is one of our closest friends and he was for many, many years up until last year or this year, our co-host on The Pickup. So we go a long way back as friends and colleagues, the three of us. We interviewed you on the podcast back in 2022. So we're going to link that in the bio for anyone that wants to go and do a bit of a

rehash and a refresh. But Mitch, welcome back to Life Uncut. Oh, it's so good to be here, girls. Does it give you some trauma sitting in this room again with us? No, no, no trauma with you guys. Being back in this building is a little weird. But I text Britt and said, I'm here. And then she's like, I'll come find you.

And then she's like, where the hell are you? You were cowering in the corner somewhere. Fetal position. Well, I walked out into the reception and to the reception guy. I was like, Vlad, have you seen Mitch Tree? He's like, I did see him, but he ran away. And I was like, oh, no. Vlad's like, I called the police.

He's not allowed in this building anymore. Vlad's being given a sign of me and he's got it posted under his desk. He's like at the White House with a red button. Like if this chubby lesbian appears in the building, kick him out. No, I was doing a poo. Pretty much. I was doing a poo because I know this building so well. I'm like, I've got 10 minutes, I'll go poo.

You must have been in there so long because I saw you walk in and I was about to stop you and I was like, oh, it's weird to stop someone as they're entering the men's toilets. I went to the toilet and then I came out and it was so long in between when I came out and you didn't. I had my morning coffee and my keffiyeh, so my guts, I'm on the health and wellness journey after everything that happened.

Keffiyeh? Keffiyeh, isn't it? What's keffiyeh? Like kaffir lime? No, it's like a yogurt milk. You'd love it when it was with the baby. oh yeah it's really good you know what's funny we haven't ever been on the microphone since everything went down we had to sign something so that's what you went all out on no we didn't have

to sign anything that is a joke but to give you guys we're obviously going to get into it there's many things we're going to cover in this conversation but there was a lot of stuff that went down last year in terms of mitch was made redundant from the pickup radio show we're making lots of jokes about it but just to set context for anyone who wasn't aware it was a horrible moment and for all of us more so for you obviously mitch like it was a yeah how bad was it for you laura yeah i didn't mean it like laura's like chantemer wanted a double garage i meant for our friendship and also because it was something we didn't have any control over if you guys are we will make jokes because we deal with trauma by pissing on each other pretty much

we do we laugh we laugh we laugh but we we also cried before we laughed which i think is important yeah and chantemer does have a double garage so thank you for that oh so you wanted a charging spot for the electric car that you couldn't afford because Mitch was made redundant. You know, can I just tell you something? I'm going to be honest with you. What? Well, thank you. What, have you been lying for the last five years?

No, no, no, no, no. But like, you're one of my best friends. I gave it a week before I did it. But after you got the sack, I waited a week and then I messaged and asked if I could have your car space. At this building. Because you had a car space. And they said no.

We didn't. Okay. Let me tell you something. Let me set the scene. Lifers. I had been at the radio station for 10 years. So you earn, you know. You earn your spot.

You earn your spot. And I also did the, I did two shows. So I did the night show. And the rules are, if you work at a company until 7pm, you have to have an underground car spot for safety. And of course, you know, there's hits out on me. I'm very, you know. So I had a parking spot.

So did you request it when I left? Well, I just imagined it was going to be up for grabs. So I was like, hey, Laura and I have never had a car spot. I'm not across this. I did not. No, I do it for you. I'm always going to bat for you. I did not partake.

Well, I don't need anyone to partake in that type of batting. You wanted a car spot. You can't share a car spot. You're not riding Vespas. Do you know what parking- Pink and yellow Vespas. Uh-uh. Hey, lifers.

Do you know what parking costs here a year? $12,000. How? How does it cost $12,000? Because we have to pay for parking every day, Mitch. Everyone does. No one cares about this, guys. You didn't.

You didn't have to. Anyway- I lost my job. We also could get trains. Like, let's all just- Oh, you're being serious? I would love to see you on the train, Laura. Us on the train?

Laura, we have blue ticks. Shut up, Mitch. Hey, look, we- Mine's real. Let's get into it. We kickstart with an Accidentally Unfiltered. Your whole life is an Accidentally Unfiltered. What is your most embarrassing story?

Oh, I've got two. So I'll just throw them out there. This one's fresh. This one I don't have a resolution to. So I, as you know, live at home. That was meant to be like a 12-month thing and then everything went down. No, it was six months and it was like four years ago. It was two years ago.

Laura's like disassociated. He still lives at home. No. We're having him on the show. I'm just letting you speak for a second. I'm just stopping interrupting because this entire episode is going to just be us interrupting you. Hey, come on.

And all of us teasing each other. It's kind of cute though. I love it. Just like old times. I know, it really is. I'm really enjoying this. So anyway, I live at home and what we're trying to do is like streamline the whole like living at home process.

So I had a Disney Plus, I had a Stan account, I had all this. So I'm like, mum and dad, we're all going to be living together. Let's just share accounts. So I consolidated our Amazon account because if you get Amazon Prime, the streaming service, you also get included now Amazon Prime, the free next day delivery on Amazon, right? Which streaming service are you being paid for? Stan.

So this isn't a paid ad. So I like that you're promoting the competitor. I'm not promoting. No, no. This is just a small little pin in the story. So Amazon Prime, we all share. And I'm like, mom and dad, no point you having an account and me having an account. So we consolidated.

So that means that we now share an Amazon account. So we stream. We both have little heads that pop up like mom and dad, Mitch, and there's no issue there. But on Amazon, the storefront where you buy things, we share an account. I'm tech savvy because I'm still in my 20s. When you open the app, you can select Mitch or you can select mum and dad, right? And I know how to do that because it's straightforward. But mum and dad struggle.

So mum's now a grandma. As you know, Becky, my sister's got two kids and I'm an uncle. Becoming a grandma doesn't just instantly make someone technology illiterate. No, that's not why she's illiterate. She's just buying heaps of baby toys. And I get deliveries to the house that says Mitch Turi. And I'm like, what did I buy? Rip it open.

And it's like, you know, bulk buy rusks or baby mum mums, you know, which you'll be doing very soon. And I'm like, mom, you've got to use your Amazon account. Fast forward to last week. I'm with Steve and my boyfriend. We're still together. Everyone listening? Well, we'll get to that. We'll get there.

And we're driving and I get a notification and it's like half past 12 at night. Amazon, your order is being packed for delivery. And I'm like, that's so weird. I've been at an event. I didn't order anything. Check it. Can I show you what it was? Yeah, I'd love to see.

I'm going to do a review. Podcasting is an audio media. Why don't, okay, sorry, you're right. This is a nice push to YouTube. Go and watch the YouTube channel. Yeah, hey, YouTube is the future. Otherwise you'll never know what Mitch is about to show. No, but I want you to read it out.

Okay. You to read it out loud. Is that okay? So this is the notification. Okay, so this has come through at midnight. Four seasons assorted pleasure bolt condoms bucket, 144 count pack. What?

No. For who? Your dad? I don't know. Shit, Michelle. Yes. Your dad ordered how many? 100 condoms?

It's 100, right? 144. What an odd amount. Is Grandma Michelle thinking she's going to get pregnant? It's a bulk bag. You can keep it. It's fine. I know, but I haven't brought it up with her.

It's not me. It's mum or dad buying a bulk bag of condoms. Do you think it's for you? I'm having gay sex. I don't need condoms. Sorry, who's having sex in your house that needs condoms? Is it for Becky? Becky's pregnant?

No. She wants to have kids and they live in a separate house. So you haven't spoken to your parents about this. This is not your embarrassing story then. This is theirs. Yeah, you just outed them. This is Coldplay all over. What's going on?

But that's what I thought. What if dad's on the dirty? Like, you know, dad still works. No, he's not delivering condoms to your house if he's on the dirty. I know. I don't know what's going on. Midge, we need a resolution to this. You need to just, when they arrive, you need to go,

hey, dad, your condoms are here, and walk away. Call your parents now. Do you want me to? This feels very radio. Yeah, get Mark on the line. Can we connect him to the desk? Get Mark on the call. You know what?

We've done this before. Remember when we called him? Because when I was first with Stephen, we were having lots of sex. and I came home one day and my bed had been moved six inches from the wall and I'm like, Stephen, did you move the bed? He's like, no, and it was my dad. But the reason why is because you thought your dad had moved the bed because all the lovemaking was acoustically affecting them,

but actually your mum had just moved the bed because she made your bed for you. She does it every Wednesday. Can you call him and ask him? Let's call Mark. Let's call him. Speaker. If he's actually called out, we have to cut this. Hey, Mitch.

Hello. How are you? Good, mate. Good. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. I have a question.

I don't know if this was you or not, but you know how we have the shared Amazon account? Yeah. Yeah. I got like a shipping notification for something that I didn't order, and I just don't know if it's you or if it's mum or who did it. Tell me more. Do you use my Amazon or is it just mum who's got the app? No, mum uses it more than me.

I used it six months ago. So, yeah, mum's probably the person to talk to. Oh, okay. What was it that was shipped? I got, it's a 144-bolt pack of ribbed condoms. Bullshit, Mitchell. Dad, I'm not joking. I've got the screenshot.

Why would she want ribbed? I'm with Britt and Laura. This is not a prank. Like, are you and mum still? Like, surely it's just dust at this point. 144, Mark. Of course. Yeah, I'm not too old yet.

No, you're not. All right, I'll text mum then. It wasn't you? I loved it. No, I don't want to cancel that and change it. Okay, all right, I will do. We'll get the flavoured ones. The girls say hi.

Hi, Mark. Hi, girls. Oh, you have a lovely night. do you know what it's for dad or no like seriously no i don't i've got no idea why she'd order okay unless she's seeing someone else no that's what we thought about you not 144 no one's got that much energy no all right love you dad thank you love you bye see ya well he's not concerned either way i love that his standout was like why would you do that i wouldn't get ripped i think we might need to call your mom but also i think that might be a conversation for off air

i agree i'll give you an update i'll post on the life uncut discussion okay so mitch doesn't understand accidentally unfiltered because that was not Mitch's embarrassing story you just outed your dad I've got another one I've come prepared yeah hit me how long do these go for yeah go as long as you want we can but this is the entire episode thanks for listening this is a story that I've never told I think you guys know it but I've only told it off air I've never told it on the air but I'm ready I'm ready to I'll give it to you because I love you exclusive so back when I was on radio remember that I must be nice I wouldn't feel it I don't it feels so long ago I used to fill in for Kyle and Jackie O and I would do a breakfast show.

It was like mid-Jury, Easter breakfast or winter breakfast, whatever. Whenever Easter is, is it winter or? No, whatever season. They'd put me on for all these seasons. Yeah, you'd fill in over Christmas, you'd fill in over Easter. You did the holiday fill-ins. Correct, yeah, for about two or four weeks. And it was breakfast, which means you got the whole producing power

of the Kyle and Jackie O show, which is huge. For someone like me, it was like a team of 15. So they'd get 101 different guests. we had a guest booked in and this is an australian icon one of the most famous australian musical broadway stars Hugh Jackman I'm guessing female female and broadway broadway star you're not going to tell us I can't I honestly can't like I think they'd be seasoned because I've signed things and I've had to apologize profusely okay I do know this story yeah I think I know so because there's such a team I was phoning it in a little and I've been doing it for so long

right maybe that's why they got me in the end and I had a prep sheet given to me by a producer which was the name of the star the show they're in and a bit of background a bit of history which the backstory to this is Mitch did not read any of it because you're very good off the cuff like you can you can put yourself in a situation and you're very good on the fly without doing any prep which is a huge benefit 99.9 percent of the time yeah but every so often when it's like well should have read the fine print this was one of those occasions yeah that's like when on the pickup we interviewed captain sandy yawn from below deck and i called her dr sandy hook anyway what happened on this yes you've got the prep sheet three key points that's all you need correct live to air

breakfast radio didn't prep hello good morning welcome to the show so great to have you here hi going good so far going good so far i try to connect because she's a big famous actress so i say listen here i studied theater back in my my old days like i was a theater kid from way back And it says here, you've just wrapped a production, which is so exciting. Talk to me about the process. Because when I was in theatre school, we were all, we were going at it. We were rabbits. Like we were kids.

Everyone was sleeping together because that's the vibe of a production, which it is if you've ever done drama. Is it? Like all drama kids just bang on set? Oh yeah. And then the boys realise they're gay and it's a whole coming of age. Well, you were like everyone just kind of, you know, there's relationships that happen on set.

Yeah. It's like showmances. You'd know, Dancing with the Stars. That's kind of a thing. I didn't have a showmance, but. No, but historically, famously, a lot of people do. Yeah. And it's a lot of like those, what are the, you know, the Disney kids, all the Disney

kids end up getting together. Yeah. All that. So I said, did any of you, I said, Rooten. I was like, well, you guys Rooten backstage at this production, you've just wrapped up radio silence. And I'm like, are you there? And she says, I actually think we should move on.

I'm greatly offended by that question. And I thought, oh shit, I've asked her a sexy question. Like some people don't like that. And it's a bit edgy. And maybe I was trying to be the Kyle cause I was on this show. I don't know what I was trying to do. Yeah. Cause it doesn't sound like you.

No. No, I was just trying to be funny. So I moved on. I'm like, okay, all good. Finished the interview. She was cold as ice. We wrapped it. She gave me nothing for the rest of the show.

And then the producing team came in and I was like, God, that was weird. I think I offended her. I don't know what went wrong. And they went, don't worry, forget about it. Two seconds later, the producer gets a call from the manager and they say, X, Y, Z would like a personal apology from Mitch. They're expecting a call. They're disgusted and they're not doing any press for the rest of the day.

They've canceled the day. Oh my God. And I said, that's so wild. Like, I just asked one question about, like, rooting. Like, it's not that bad. Who are you rooting? That's right. On set.

I said, ask them why they're so upset. Like, Mitch, is it a trigger for them? And they said, XYZ is gutted and disgusted that Mitch would insinuate that they're a pedophile. Oh, my God, Mitch. Because it was a kid's show. She was performing in a pantomime production with kids. Mitch, can I even laugh?

I'm not even laughing at that. I didn't read it. It's only funny because it's so uncomfortable for you. And, like, the odds of that, the odds. Yeah. It was so bad. But you know what? Also, the other side of this is there's adults that work on kids' TV shows.

It could have been backstage production. Yeah, but it's a fine line. It's a real, I mean, it's a stretch. It's a stretch. The only out of this is you calling and admitting that you did no prep on her and you didn't know the show. So it's, like, that's bad. You either.

I think that's better. I think admitting that you did not prep. Hey, sorry. I don't know anything about you. I didn't read anything. What, then saying that I was genuinely intrigued? I mean, what are the options? I don't know.

Have you learned anything from that? I have met her since and I have apologised and I think things are okay. But I had to call and speak to her on the phone and, yeah. Was she okay on the phone? No, she didn't answer. She blocked me on social media. She still blocked me. So if you want to work out who it is, go to my, yeah,

you'll be able to work it out. You still blocked? She's blocked me, yeah. Have you ever seen her again? Yes, I have. And how does it go down? I was actually in one of her. And we had to meet face to face.

Let's stop trying to give away more clues so that people can figure it out. She said it's you. And I said, see you backstage, baby. Let's root. Speaking of rooting. When do we go to ads and traffic? Speaking of rooting, I will ask you a question about it. So a big part of your life over the past year has been your relationship.

And I know like when we were talking on radio, at the start, Stephen was just like, this guy that I'm seeing and it wasn't official. And then one day you called him your boyfriend on air. And then that's how we all found out that you're in a serious relationship. Yeah. How are things now? Where are you guys at? Where is the relationship?

How long have you been together? Two years. Almost two years. Two years? I know. Can you believe that? Wow. He's so grown up now.

Yeah. He is grown up. Yeah. That's how people age. So two years ago, Mitch came to Scotland with me to spend Christmas. And that was when Stephen was wanting to be serious. Like there were early days. And Mitch was like, no way.

I'm going to be a player all through Europe. He's like, I'm going to fucking Paris. I'm going to fucking Amsterdam. I'm going to hit people up in Scotland. and it's funny because as a friend the whole time you just were texting him all day every day and i was like i know you want to tick a bucket list and like hook up with some randoms i was like but you're already signed sealed and delivered i know i was i was i really i i do i love him but at that point i really liked him but i was torn because you know that that period of the breakup that i

had and then the cheating of it all and then losing like 55 kilos and then working out who i was and i looked different and i felt different and it was a really wild time in my life and also you kind of got into a relationship quite quickly like I think in terms of moving on from what was your past and previous relationship which you'd been in for a really long time that ended terribly and then getting into a new relationship which feels kind of quick it's like you have those moments where you're like oh am I just jumping into the next thing too quickly have I spent more time should I be dating should I be seeing what's out there all those feelings well that's why I was wanting that little Scottish escape and I did I went to a little Scottish gay bar and I was

messaging and people and it just it just didn't feel right I didn't want to there's also this like and I think a lot of people know it I remember feeling it there's a feeling of when you think you might have met somebody that could be serious there's a feeling of like what if it is serious and this is the last time I'm single you know like what if I get into that and then that's it and I don't get to like dabble in meeting anyone else what was that we've never really spoken to you on here about it but like what was that period like for you when you know you did find out you were cheated on many, many times in your first gay relationship.

Like since coming out, you were together for so many years. How did you feel after that and adapt to like this new era? Were you nervous to go on date again? Yeah, so I don't think I've ever said this, but I had never slept with another man other than that partner that I was with, who you guys knew. We went to Bali together. He came to my wedding.

He came to your wedding. Yeah, we've both shot him out. He's in my wedding photo. It sucks. Every photo of us together is also. That's the thing that's so hard about weddings. is because so many people break up. They just do.

It's part of relationships in life. And then you look back on your wedding photos and you're like, fuck, I haven't seen that person in two years. Well, I mean, don't break up with Stephen because now he's in my wedding photos. We've both got a boyfriend each. Yeah, but he's nicer to look at, the other one. I mean, he's everywhere in those videos.

He's not unattractive. No, no, no, I know. You're like, I'm still dirty. No, I'm actually not. We were texting the other day. Like, it's all good. It's a whole other story. No, but it's just at this point so much growth has occurred.

But the long and the short of it is I had never been with any other guy and I was 27 when we broke up and especially in the gay world and the gay scene I mean that is unheard of to have one sexual partner or romantic partner when I left him at 27 I'd been with more women than I had men and I'm not even bisexual like it wasn't even something that I wanted to go back to I was I'm gay but I had never I had no experiences plus I was 165 kilos at the end why are you yeah I was really big I was really big which is fine I was happy you know up until the end but so much changed i'm so grateful for it but it was the sexuality i felt like i was coming out again at 27 it was the immense physical change and then looking at

myself and going oh my god i look better but why am i still so afraid to take my top off and go and have a hookup or get on grinder it took me so long to be able to get on an app even when i hooked up with steven for the first time he's like why you take your shirt off and i'm like it will not come off and the lights were off it was at your house brit sorry about that you fucked for the first time on my lounge i did because i have a doggy cam no it never happened you do have a doggy cam but it was off thank god because you've got sure it was off it was off it was off and i was so afraid and my shirt my singlet was on and i still to this day i have issues with like being fully naked it's just it's body yeah i mean i understand that though but in terms of going through this

breakup i think a lot of people go through a breakup then they have these like external transformations usually like you know the fitness goals thing is a big one that plays part for a lot of people because it's like the one thing you can control and something that feels uncontrollable and you're going on the hot girl walks i think like hot girl walks became your like part of your identity at the time it's like a new personality it's like a brand how do you feel now like in comparison when you look back on that person of where you were three years ago versus now how do you see yourself i'm one of those people that like i don't know i i i can never like no i don't notice the growth and I'll notice it in like five years time I don't know I still feel exactly the

same as that guy I think but then I look back at old photos and and it just is a completely different person but where I'm at mentally now it feels the same but that journey was amazing it taught me so much about myself it taught me like I had to relearn what I like in a romantic partner what I like sexually I realized that the partner that I was with was really not a match for me but I was stuck with it and why was I so content with being stuck in that relationship Yeah. Because also it's the only thing you knew and you knew it for a really long time. So there is always an aspect of, I don't want to say you don't know what you're missing out on until you've tried it because like you were happy in a sense, but now that you've got something to compare it

to, you can see how much more of a healthy love you have now and how much you like certain things that you didn't think you liked and how much you want a closed relationship and not an open relationship. And if you've only ever had one experience, it's really hard to have only had this one experience up until 27 and then be thrown into the world that you haven't dabbled in before and just really finding your feet again like you said that's a really big statement of like I felt like I was coming out all over again yeah also at 27 these moments and these formative experiences happen for some people especially now like gen alpha gen z at 16 17 18 yeah but I also feel like when you go through a really big heartbreak like when you've been with someone for five years

you think you're going to marry them you think you're going to spend your life with them and then you find out that they've been cheating on you or whatever has happened, you don't just instantly fall out of love with them. You don't just instantly see them for the person that they've been at the end of the relationship. You're so invested in all the promises that you've made, all of the memories that you've made.

It's really hard to mentally click that switch over. And for some people, they never do. And some people work through that. And there's so many versions of how that affects people when a relationship ends in cheating and infidelity. Oh, yeah. And you know me too. Like I'm all in.

like with everything in life. Like I'm so involved with family. My family embraced everyone that I've ever been with, but embraced that particular ex. And I think there was a betrayal on many levels, like the romantic, the sexual, it being my first partner, my family, the family of it all. Like it all fell to pieces.

It was like that episode of Modern Family when they all went to Hawaii and there was all the drama in Hawaii. You were literally in Hawaii. I haven't seen literally that in Hawaii. We were Mitch and Cam, the gay couple. And it all fell to pieces in Hawaii. that's when breadcrumbs were dropped and I realized things and it was like oh I'm playing home from Hawaii I'm like oh no this is it's happening it's happening yeah this is not going

to end well and it did not end well at all and it was like all the little things like we had a full lease together and and I'm like you pay the end of lease and like it was just it was such a messy end it gets messy yeah it does it does get messy but like at this point I'm at now I genuinely feel like we were texting the other day I kind of want to be okay with everything like I don't want to have because it niggles in the back of my brain it really does and you want to put a put like a tie a bow on it and put it away 100 years later then out of curiosity what is the why do you feel like you need to keep that tie with an ex i know you were together for a long time but why do you feel like you need to it wasn't an amicable breakup there are a lot of things that went down

why do you feel like years later you need to continue that connection oh there's no friendship there's no connection it's for me so i can have full closure because i never got closure about what went down and why so for me I want to be able to see someone on the street and and it not be weird or not be awkward and also I don't I don't have room in my life or time for animosity or hatred it's it ate me up for so long and then I realized part of the reason why I was losing all this weight and doing these hot girl walks is because it was a distraction because I was really hurt and really confused and didn't know where to go or what to do yeah well that's the thing right like comes down to that idea of having control over the one thing you can control and so you're

like well I'm feeling these feelings I'm gonna go on a five kilometer run you know and it does it does work it does make you feel better but it doesn't always deal with the problem sometimes it just prolongs it yeah you know what's funny though that happened and you know me and and I kind of got through that and I lost this weight and I felt incredible and there was like a glow up for lack of a better term because I hate glow up because some people do some people don't but I felt really good in myself and I was on top of the world and then I lost my job it's so funny how it and and like not just lost a job but you knew my identity was that job unfortunately and i've learned that that's not that wasn't a smart thing to do but it was my brand it was my gig it

was my job and you're on top of the world you feel great and then you just get brought right back down to to zero again it's wild how that happens well this was also i mean in terms of like a really big life milestone and life years and stuff i think you know you're turning 30 in at the end of this month very soon it's your 30th birthday your baby we're gonna be like soul sisters if I'm not if I'm not in the hospital I'll be at your 30th but like or I hope you've got a baby your 30th feels like and I think for most people it feels like such a cornerstone is in terms of birthdays it's a really big one and you've had such a big year leading up to this in terms of career change especially when you say that identity has been so tied to it yeah what

has this year felt like for you uh this year for me has felt like chasing my tail and looking for things like looking for leads and I think when I left the radio show I was I really assumed work would just find me and this is the first time in my whole career that I've had to like make work and find work and find income like I've always had a safe cushy salary but I think work has found you not the work you thought so you've got great ambassadorships with different people and you're doing a lot of like hosting an emcee but I think when you're in a very niche industry like radio and I thought it would find you too really quickly but I guess it all has to do with people's contracts and things like that but it's the the first time that it didn't just fall into your lap

i guess because you were once the cash cock and then you were and everything just sort of happened you worked hard but i think all of us thought that you were going to leave here and it would just fall into your lap again and i guess that's another look at your identity when you're like okay hang on who am i if i'm not a radio host is that how you felt oh totally 100 it's the only skill i really had was with radio right and then that's not true no but in my head interviewing correct it's it's all i had ever done professionally but it's funny because you guys know you were privy to these conversations like you two of my closest friends you knew that in the end at arn i was not struggling but i was thinking what do i want to do next you know i love comedy i love

stand-up and i opened for you on the life uncut live tour you were not happy no i wasn't happy You did a stand-up show at my wedding. You emceed and did a stand-up show when I was like, can we get to the speeches? Oh, okay. Do you want to bring up the wedding? Keisha, can we bring up the wedding? I've prepped Keisha. Okay, yeah.

Sam Fisher, please enter the studio. I've brought Sam in to discuss the song of it all. Till I die. Some girl approached me the week after the wedding and said, oh my God, are you Mitch? And I thought, this is cute, isn't it? So I said, yeah, I'm Mitch. She said, I'm listening to Life Uncut right now. You know, there's TikToks like, what are you listening to?

And they're like, Life Uncut. I was like, oh my God, really? She's like, yes, I can't believe you fucked up Britt's wedding. And that's not embellished. She said, thank God Laura stuck up for you. I'm like, yeah. Always. You didn't fuck up any wedding.

Yes, you fucking did. Oh, here we go. You didn't fuck up the wedding. It doesn't mean I love you less, but I'm not going to protect you. Yes, you did. Protect me. I did not. I'm not going to protect you from the job you did for free at my wedding

as an altruistic gift. I have the video of me. Yes, I do. I deleted it. I got the cameras, pushed them into the Carapacan Sea. I'm going to show you. I'm literally, it's the most beautiful moment. You mess it up.

I don't mess it up. I'm halfway down the aisle and you forgot to say, just to set it up, I had Sam Fisher create like a bespoke song called Till I Die. It's about Ben and I. It's an amazing song. Ben didn't know and that was our wedding aisle song as a surprise. Now, because this is a song that has never, no one has ever heard it. Ben was probably going to be a bit spun out.

That's really mean. It's a beautiful song. It's a joke. Sam doesn't mind. He would laugh. I had run Mitch through this so many times. The wedding planner had run Mitch through this so many times. All he had to say before I walked out and the song started to play was supposed to be like,

hey, everyone pay attention, Ben, this is a song Britney has made for you. Because otherwise Ben's not going to listen to the words. He's got no idea what's going on. And I was like, Mitch, you need to say it. Otherwise he'll miss the whole surprise. I'd gone to so much effort to make this song with Sam. So he doesn't say it. The song starts playing.

I was beside myself. I was like, I can't believe he didn't say it. Now Ben's not even going to listen. I was three-quarters of the way down the aisle about to embrace Ben and then Mitch remembers and he goes over the music, over everything, and he goes, everyone pay really quick attention because right now this is a song that Brittany made for Ben with Sam Fisher. It's beautiful.

Listen to it. And then it was over. All right. I'm going to let you finish. I'm going to look at this with my camera. It's time for my side of the story. You also, I do want to say one thing you said. You didn't just say it was a song that Britt made with Sam Fisher.

You made sure that you got in there ARIA award-winning Sam Fisher. All right. Here's what happened. Ladies and gentlemen, on this show, this has been referred to as a wedding. This was Carol's in the Domain. This was a production. I turn up to the cliffside estate at Uluwatu. Never been there before in my life.

Sweating my tits off in pants. Wasn't allowed to wear shorts. You weren't allowed to wear shorts. There were rules. In pants. And I turn up, 17 handlers flock to me like it's New Year's Eve on Arbor Bridge area. They all had headsets on. She goes, Mr. Mitch, Mr. Mitch.

I'm one of many organisers for the day. I thought, this is a bit much. One of the many organisers. She's like, I'm the assistant to Marie and then Marie's assistant to Jennifer. I'm like, there's so many people. You're so full of it. And Queen Brittany is over here. Of course.

And I said, okay, thank you. She went, here's your run sheet. There's been many changes. And I go, what do you mean many changes? She goes, well, you're doing the ceremony. I said, I'm not a celebrant. She went, no, no, no. Britt just wants you to do it because it's not a legal wedding.

You have to host the ceremony. But that's where, well, who said that? That was never a thing. Mia. That's what I said. So I was like, okay. She goes, here's your script. I'm like, what's happening?

She's like, well, the kids will come out in that little box and then Sherry will come out and Sherry's got a song and then Britt's going to come out to her song. And I thought, oh God, there's so many cues. There's so many cues. No, Mitch, there were no cues. There were cues. Okay. I don't want to, you know, long and the short of it, second time I've said that today.

I was standing there and the song started playing. I was told I would say Brittany Hockley and then the song would play. But the song autoplayed. And what I didn't want to do, this is the truth, I didn't forget, I didn't want to crash the vocals. Like I didn't want to speak over the lyrics. So I was waiting for a breath. Like I was waiting for Sam to go.

Mitch, I love you. I've got the video. I know how it went down. That's true. It's all right. We love you anyway. You fucked up my wedding. Whatever.

I did not fuck up the wedding. The wedding was beautiful. We love you. Nothing was fucked. We love you. No, and it's all fun and games. Let's talk about Mitch's redundancy now. Yeah.

Okay. So that's where we were. Is there any positive story that's going to come out of this interview? Yeah, it's the end. It's the round circle of where you are, how we can go through hardships in life and come out the other side with absolute fucking joy and success, and that's where we're getting to. I do worry that some people listen to this and are like,

are these three even friends? Is this like frenemies? We're such good friends that this is so deeply above board, like that it's okay. This has been way worse. And all the jokes. Looking at Keisha right now. It's been way worse.

Wait, can I say one thing? Go on. I'll delete it out if I don't want it in here. I'm joking. Delete. Okay. My favorite thing about Laura is she says delete. Remember on radio, we'd say something.

She'd go, delete, delete, delete. Laura would say it like it was live radio, like Siri was listening. She'd go, delete. Hey, radio, delete. Hey, delete. Okay, sorry. My one thing to say is what I love about our friendship and our little friendship group is that we've all had sex in Brit's bedroom.

Keisha too, everyone. Yeah, everyone's done it. I've only ever had sex in Brit's bedroom when it was actually my bedroom. So I've made two children in that bedroom. Did you make the girls in that bedroom? Yeah. I made Marley and Lola in that bedroom. And Keisha, you slept in that bedroom?

Have you fucked in Britt's bedroom too? Everyone's fucked in my bedroom. Many times. So have I, and so has Britt. So it's a brothel. Ness, your turn. Wait, the fact that Ben lives overseas means we've probably had more sex in that bedroom than you have.

Accurate. That's absolutely accurate. I definitely have had more sex in that bedroom than anyone. High five. Great. I'm glad we've established this. Okay. Moving along now.

I'm so glad that that's where you took that. One thing you absolutely had to interrupt for. What's the one thing I prepped in the car? I'm like, I'm going to make a joke that we've all sexed in Fritz Benjamin. We were talking about this year being a very big year, going from like this massive identity shift. Obviously when your identity is tied to work, I know we have to be sensitive about how we get into this conversation,

but like how did you deal with those months afterwards after going from being like, I'm a radio guy to being like, okay, I'm not a radio guy right now, so what am I? Yeah, I really don't know. I don't have an answer for you. It took time and I had to learn to be okay with it. I'm also not like a bitter person. Like I, I genuinely, like I can hold a grudge with friends.

Like that wedding thing. I think it's funny. There's nothing. It's nothing, but I genuinely am not a grudge holder. Like it's, it ties back into me with the ex wanting to be friends. Like it ruminates in my head and I, and I'll go crazy. I'll go a little manic if I, if I keep thinking about it. So I had to just be okay with it.

There's no other option, but I like you go to my home office and it is Kiss FM branded chair. I have Kiss FM neons, all the photos. They must throw that stuff back. I went in the back of my Hyundai i30 and I sped off into the sunset out of my secure parking spot. I don't know. It was tough.

Like it was really tough. I think I'm in a really lucky position. Like a lot of people get made redundant every year. But we're in a lucky position in what we do for a living is that we have, there's an audience there and I could go out and I could get jobs like ambassadorships like I'm doing with Stan. And I can also, you know, get a bit of sponsored work. And I have worked with brands like McCain's Chips.

Which we're cutting that out. And Appliances Online. And Appliances Online. Oh, no, no. I was making fun of it. I'm not making fun of McCain's Superfice. Oh, but I get you. And you can do sponsored work.

So I think that like kept me going. But like, you know, for a lot of people to get made redundant, they've got to find another actual job. Like there was a lot of privilege there for me. But I think I'm still untying from it, to be honest with you. I think, I mean, it's very kind of you to say there's a lot of privilege there. But I think anyone who's gone through the process of redundancy, especially when it's a job they love.

Like I think, you know, if you go through redundancy and, you know, it's a job that you kind of were neither here, neither there in terms of your career. and you had the option around like okay do i do it this way do i take my redundancy like people there's many different versions of how people have experienced redundancy and in terms of yours you had been with aaron for so long you were literally like such a core part of the dna that makes up this place and also like our show you were such a cool part of our show and i i know that for anyone who's been a listener of the pod for a long time also you know even the radio show itself like

we didn't know that that was happening and we had no control over that situation but I feel like we need to say that for all the jokes that we've already front-loaded and it was it was so hard it was devastating it was devastating because we didn't want to see you be hurt but also it was you know losing a kidney yeah it was losing we lost a third of the show that day you know you know what I think happens like a lot of the time when you do have to have these moments that are out of your control you know you're in your comfort zone you know it's a job that you can do you've been in this role for 10 years and then that's no longer available to you you have to become creative and figure out well what the fuck is next and that's something that

you have done very very well and one of the biggest reasons why we wanted to get you on the show was to talk about what it is that you've put your focus into and where you are now and how you feel about that yeah i feel great i feel really good i'm success driven and i was talking to you guys in quiche before we started recording but people keep asking me uh or they see things on social media or they see this new podcast that I've launched and they're like, oh, are you so happy that everything happened? The Mitch Turi chat show. We're going to get into it in two seconds. Oh, the Mitch Turi chat show. And, and I haven't had that moment yet of like, aha, like success. Like the pennies dropped. I'm so glad I was made redundant from KISS. And everyone

that I talked to in the creative industry say, I remember the moment when I was made redundant that I thought, yes, like that happened to me for a reason, but I haven't had that yet. You know why you haven't had it? Because you haven't had it because you're, you could be doing the both concurrently so it feels like you know what i mean it feels like this opportunity hasn't just happened because of that i think you would have done them both eventually but i but you do need to kick up the butt sometimes like you we've been telling you for years and you've been saying you're going to do a stand-up comedy show but i think until you get really pushed into doing something which is what's happened when you lost your job at radio you're like oh it can't be a

pipeline dream anymore i need to put things into action or i can't pay my bills so i think it's Like, whilst it's not a, I'm so glad it happened, I do think it was a bit of a catalyst for you to get your shit going. Totally. And you know, what's funny, like, and this is no shade to the network or where I used to work, but I have realized that there is like starting in radio at 19, the job and you guys will know is you get given things when you're on any radio network, you get given a show and it is, congratulations, we have given you this.

There are people that choose to make or break your career. so I'm trying to unlearn waiting for someone to give me something yeah and I'm also trying to unlearn being okay with making a creative decision and backing it because I've never been able to say this is my vision I'm making it it's out into the world there were layers of approval there was you know I don't want to go into the details but it's also the brutal part of working in the entertainment industry across the board it's not it's not unique to radio it's acting it's any creative industry where the employment comes from someone who makes the choices you know that's why podcasting came about I mean originally there was no space for women's voices on radio we

were always the accessory to a main host who was the man and then the woman's the sidekick like that has been the absolute formula for radio for the dawn of time whereas now like you know women are getting a bit of presence but the whole reason why podcasting started in the beginning was because there were so many women who wanted to be in broadcast and there was no avenue for them that's how Mamma Mia came about. It's how Shameless came about, you know. It's how we came about. It's literally how we came about. And so once upon a time, I think the barrier for entry for podcast is quite low, but the barrier for entry and doing it well and actually being successful in this space is extremely high because it is incredibly competitive now. Oh, it's ridiculous.

And I've entered into it. So, uh, you've entered it in, in a way that is like in incredibly high in terms of premium, in terms of the concept, like you haven't just like launched to crash or launched a product where, you know, like we did at the time, we're recording it out of a bedroom. I see what happens. You have put so much energy into this Mitch True Chat Show and this has been something that's been concepted over the past year. Yeah, it has.

How did you think of the name? So it's actually my name. Oh. Yeah, yeah, and it's a chat show. Brilliant. So, yeah, that was the first thought I had, the name. I listened to the first episode and I love the fact before – everyone go and have a listen to it, Mitch True Chat Show,

but I love that you put so much thought into it, that we and we brainstormed so many times but ultimately you want to be a chat show host not a podcast on youtube that's your dream so it's like what's your dream and then you've got to go and figure out a way to get there the way for you to get there is to be tried and tested and create your own product then hope someone sees and picks it up so your podcast isn't a normal podcast you've created a whole set that looks like a chat show that will go on youtube so it is a bit of a standalone i think in the australian podcasting space oh that's sweet from you guys really tell everybody what to expect on the show here's the inception i left arn and i was sent by a friend

actor awards which you've been to brit it's like the it's like the emmys in australia for acting and screen yeah they had a scholarship or a funding for a brand new concept it was best new concept it was reg grundy award and it was 50 grand for a new tv show idea and i just left kiss someone in the industry sent it to me and you know and all my friends know that i want to have a chat show a rove style chat show conan o'brien it's been my dream as long as i can remember it's also the space that you're very good in yeah and i enjoy it i do enjoy it and i applied and i created a pitch deck and i didn't i had a lot of time and i wanted to distract myself and i created the mitch jury chat show i got branding done and i had the concept and i was lucky that

i had 10 years of celebrity interviews like miley cyrus double leaper like all these celebs and it got nominated and it didn't win jamie jury won for a new gardening show this one usual for new talent for a rich man as well anyway he got the 50 grand and uh what i had was this amazing pitch deck and all these TV connections I had all I had all I spoke to all the networks I pitched to 10, 7, 9 I took all the concept to all of them and they all loved it but they said we want a pilot and this whole TV world is so new to me and I mean you guys would know they wanted a pilot and they said you fund it I got it all budgeted it was like 80 grand to build a set for one one episode hire like camera riggers and film crew and and pay talent to come in and I will in this new age why

don't I just create that use that money to build a set create a podcast I've got the connections anyway with the artists and I can do it every week and then in a year's time not only will I have one pilot I'll have 52 53 54 episodes and I'll have an audience and it's I've got commercial backing and you own it and I own 100% of the IP so that's what this is so the Mitch Turi chat show with our very first guest Tyra Banks is out into the world and it's two episodes one episode a week is with grace who is producer grace from the pickup yeah adore grace our producer grace yeah she's amazing slowly trying to poach her we see what's going on actually we i mean we've been across this since day one we were so excited that she gets to be a part of this yeah because you

guys i mean like producer grace you've had her chime in on the pickup which we've put into the podcast anyway but she also was like the second voice in mitch's radio show like as in his night show so you know in terms of like how the two of you bounce off each other it's really awesome we also have a lot in common like grace is married to a woman she's also a lesbian she's like you similar that was the funniest you've ever been thanks thanks and we just have a lot in common we have a lot we have a similar eye for like we love pop culture we love entertainment we love celeb we love memes we love jokes so one episode a week is grace and i and uh it's just unpacking stories of the week it's not reinventing the wheel then the second episode is purely made

for YouTube on our bespoke set with a celebrity guest, uh, myself and, uh, yeah, you can get it on podcast app, Spotify, the Mitch Turi chat show, watch on YouTube too. A lot of people might not know, but a lot of people will know, but sometimes you get big interviews across podcasting or radio or whatever it is. Or if you're going to a press junket for TV and people come with like absolute non-negotiables that you can talk about. So a lot of managers will come in and say, Oh, cute. You're interviewing Brittany you cannot talk about this this this is this like as an example and you were talking about how that had happened with a few people in your past but it happened with Jojo Siwa on one of your interviews where there was like this huge list of no-goes do you think that's

going to be different or have you experienced that so far now that you own this show are you going to have somebody on if they write you and say hey this is the list of things we can't talk about so it's actually a very good question because all the music labels in this country and all the TV networks and film companies are genuinely so excited to have something like this. I'm pleasantly surprised at the amount of support that's been thrown our way. Well, because there's very few options for long form.

You know, everything is bitsy radio interviews, but I think that that's because like back in the day, most of the networks, most of the agencies, they really were like so hard on protecting talent, whereas now they've realised the benefit in audiences really engaging with talent based on not just their music but their story, who they are. 100%.

Yeah, and also there's so much to discuss in this space. I love it. These celebs, we call them celebs. They're people. They also sit at home and they scroll on TikTok and they are watching the content from Life Uncut. They're watching the content from Chicken Shop Date. They're watching Hot Ones and they go,

why would I go on morning TV and sit there for six minutes and ask questions off a teleprompter when I can go and eat hot chicken wings and it can get 100 million views. And have a laugh. And have a laugh and plus it's fun. And guess what? I'm 35 and I'm watching this content at home. It's a space in this country that hasn't expanded,

hasn't blown up yet. You guys are genuinely on the forefront of podcasting and I love what you're doing on your YouTube and I'm watching those numbers grow. But in this country, compared to the UK and the US, there is just not shows set up like international. And celebrityism? Celebrityism?

Or celebrity, just celebrity. Let's go with celebrityism. Let's point a new word. Celebrityism is changing. and like Laura said just to like unpack that a bit it used to be that they were these mythical creatures that you didn't have access to and just if you could just get them for an interview and they could just say one good thing about the show they're on it was enough now people have realized PR have realized that the rogue stories are what gets press yes they're talking a bit about your

love life you don't have to give it all away but that peek behind the curtains is not only what gets you press but it's what's expected and if if some if a talent comes on and does an episode or an interview and they're not giving anything away but talking about a movie no one cares anymore it's also yeah I think it's also to do with social media I mean we've been so groomed now to know that if we want accessibility to these people beyond the roles that they play in movies and in tv shows and everything else that we can go to social media and see that you know we were even talking about it on an episode recently like Kate Hudson and how she was doing that unfortunately I do love trend and I was like you know you see her being her not playing a role and you love them

even more because it gives you this feeling of like oh i know them beyond that character that they played and that is like the absolute juice of podcasting because it's long form you get into intimate conversations and you are able to dictate the space of that if this was actually a talk show on a tv show you would still be restricted within your 20 minutes your half an hour your ad spaces like there would still be a lot of orchestrating whereas podcasting doesn't have that oh and our boss is the audience like i've learned so much from you guys just listening to the back end of how like this success isn't luck you guys work so hard i've seen how much work you put into this show and we make it look like we don't do anything but really we work really hard no but like you

guys need your flowers well you've opened a lot of doors for women especially in this country and like you know boys like me like i have a lot of my profile thanks to you guys i was in a radio show for a long time and you know getting paired with you was something that i will forever remember as a really formative moment in my life. I love both of you. It's silly. Let's all cry and hold each other. I taught Brit how to do the two finger heart.

So now she does it. She thinks she's. You know how I have to do it, Midge, though? I can't do it without going piece, flip it, ninja chop. See, now that's, you're so cool. But then when you say things like that. I'm not cool. I'm never been cool.

It's just, yeah, the clip in fringe. No, I just love that the audience is in control. Because if the content's not working, they'll tell you or you'll know because no one's going to be listening or no one's going to watch. So it's so great that we can follow the audience rather than follow an executive who says you're going to do this or you're going to make this creative decision. Yeah, and it's really different with radio in terms of like when you come

from a radio background, it's very hard to know the truth of what the audience is listening to and engaging with. Firstly, you're played out on broadcast. You're amongst a whole heap of ads and a whole heap of music. Secondly, the way in which surveys are done in this country is something that everyone is always unsure about. It's like I don't know where these people are that drive around with paper books in their car and write down what radio stations they're listening to

but i've never had one it's an incredibly manual process and with podcasting the analytics behind it are in real time and they you can see who's listening you can find out when people are dropping out of listening to an episode if we play an ad that you hate you tell us if we play something or say something that you hate you tell like the feedback is so instantaneous that it allows you to get better very very quickly if you listen to your audience you adapt yeah and you You don't have that touch point when you're on radio. It's such a unique experience in comparison. Yeah, and I listen to the radio and I truly think radio has an identity crisis at the

moment. Like I don't think the medium knows what it wants to do or what it can do, right? And I don't know, I worry for the future of radio because I love it so much. I love that live element. And you've seen me thrive in that live studio. I love that energy and I love entertainment, but I'm enjoying so much learning this new medium and learning how to flex the entertainment muscle, which is similar, but it is also very different in podcasting and now there's cameras in our faces it's video podcasting it's it's new

and it's exciting and i am loving doing this show i'm feeling really fulfilled mitch when are um we coming on well i'm not joking no of course no please of course i think we do separate i don't think we get you on together no we need separate yeah i think so laura will talk about it why is that so funny just it just is oh britney being like separate britney's like no we must do separate and she's like and i fought for you to get mitch's car park but there's only one car park so No, because I would have only taken it just so you know. I said, we need two. I'll take Producer Grace's.

You did not. I'm joking. You did not. No, I did. I tried to get the park. That's real. Send me the email. I'm happy to.

I'm happy to. I'll get you one. I'd love to have you both on. It's so fun. We would love to come. Separate, of course. Of course. Can I bring the baby?

Which one? The new one. You got so many. Can I breastfeed on the show? You know, I pitched you, of course. I pitched him out to go on Two Doting Dads. He's like, you're not a dad. I need the prayers.

Sorry. Oh, that really hurt. I just had a really bad. Ow. You're not a dad. That's a fair point. You're a daddy, but you're not a dad. I am a daddy.

Are you alright? Laura's going into full labour. No, I'm not going into labour. I just had a really bad kick and braxton hicks at the same time because you made me laugh. It would make great content if you gave birth. If I made you laugh so hard that you gave birth, that would do many things for me to go on my show. Just put that clip on YouTube.

As much as we're having fun doing this, we do have to wrap it up. What is next for you? He's like I just started I just started a new show Give me a break Yeah but that's not You don't We don't stop at one thing

Like you've got big dreams So talk to us about it I do have big dreams I do have big dreams Well I'm starting acting classes With a friend of mine Who also acts Brittany Hockley

Oh I was like Have you replaced me? That's you Oh yeah we are yeah That's you That's still in the That's yeah We've got something special in the works

It's been in the works for a while But we're getting close This thing's stuck in the works I think it's choking You guys have been talking about Sorry I know you're trying to talk like in cryptic currency about this. It's not cryptic.

Everyone knows. You guys have been talking about this thing in the works for four years. Everyone knows. No, do you know what? No, this is proper in the works. Mitch and I have like really big things happening behind the scenes that we are so close to you guys seeing us on your TV

and there's a few speed bumps that have been very frustrating, but we're working through it. Red tape. So acting classes will be handy. I actually have about a page and a half of new stand-up material that I've written and it's about all the shit jobs that I've done since leaving ARN, since leaving KISS. Like I got offered to be involved in an inclusion campaign for an underwear company, but I weren't

named. And I was like, I'd love to. And it was inclusion and it was around pride. I'm like, this is great. This is like, cause I'm a queer icon. I can wear these undies. But then they asked you to take your shirt off and you were like, fuck that. Then they asked me to take my shirt off.

And I said, no, I'd like to keep my shirt on. And they said, no, having you a part of this campaign, it's imperative that your shirt is off. And I'm like, that's so weird that it's imperative that my shirt was off. Anyway, long story short, they wanted me because I was plus size, not because I'm gay. The inclusion wasn't gay. The inclusion wasn't gay. the inclusion was man tits.

Mitch. Mitch, we love you so much. We're so proud of you. We had so much fun at the launch party for your podcast. Thank you for coming to that extravagant event. We never have missed it. I love it. The headline after was Brittany and Laura turn up to assist downtrodden friend.

Oh, shut up. It was not. It was pretty close. Fat friend hugged by celebrity girls. If they were saying that about anyone, it was about me. I'm like dragging my stomach across the floor, waddling into that venue. Wait, can I just do one thing before we go?

it's one of the funniest things that i've ever seen in my life the daily mail article when i was when i was fired and i was i walked out of the studio on our last day and there were paparazzi they were taking photos like chicken chicken chicken and we're like shit paparazzi we're just going to get a panini we were walking out and if you read the article it's like mitch cherry fired his pictures and you look at the pictures and the captions are laura burns stuns in a matching gorman set and then i go okay so i scroll to the next one and brit's hugging me i'm like oh this will say something. Brittany Hockley looks gorgeous in a Lorna Jane matching.

I'm like, oh, all right. It was just about our outfits, not you. The next one, Brittany Hockley's Gucci Crocs. Buy them here. Link. I'm like, wow, they're putting a link in there. I think they get affiliate kickbacks. I'm convinced that Daily Mail gets affiliate kickbacks for everything.

The whole article was a fit check for the two of you on the day that I was fired. All right. We really are going to wrap it up. We love you. We're so proud of you. If you haven't listened to the Mitch True Chat Show yet, it's available wherever you Get your podcast, wherever you listen to your podcasts. And hopefully by the time this comes out, Tyra Banks will also be available.

Yep, Tyra Banks, Parvati Shallow, who won Survivor. She's an icon. Keisha will be all over that. Yeah, she's amazing. That was a brilliant interview. Producer Keisha just jizzed in her pants. If you love pop culture and culture and entertainment and you want to laugh and celeb, you'll love this show.

And if you ever liked anything the three of us did, Lifers, it would mean the world if you could have a listen and enjoy the show. Get around it. You know what to do, Lifers, and I'm sure they will. I love you both so much. So much. We love you, Mitch.

It's unbelievable. And I'm so excited for little baby wars. I'm bringing it into the studio when we do our report, just so you know. In my show? Yeah. Okay, yeah, sure. And I'm in a press feed. And then we can send that to the Daily Mail and get them to write an article.

Fantastic. Breastfeeding mothers on set. Laura stuns as she wears Bongella nipple cream. On some show. Oh, yeah. On downtrodden fired friends show. I'm like, it's been a year. We love you, Mitch.
