Speaker 1: Oh, hi, guys, before we get into the show, I
Speaker 1: need to just let you know that we're breaking up.
Speaker 1: No we're not, but Jenna and I are keeping the
Speaker 1: kid and it's Siamese and we just can't separate it
Speaker 1: because it's heart is in the middle of the scene
Speaker 1: and there's just nothing the surgeons can do. We've asked
Speaker 1: them and they said the heart is right where they'd cut,
Speaker 1: so it'll die.
Speaker 2: They said the heart is quite essential these days.
Speaker 1: They said the heart is needed. They looked at Mitch
Speaker 1: and not that you've got one, and then everyone in
Speaker 1: the surgery laugh.
Speaker 2: Oh, we laugh.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we thought before we started the show we'd give
Speaker 1: you a little FYI.
Speaker 2: Obviously you're listening to the full show podcast right now,
Speaker 2: but you probably notice every week we also upload a
Speaker 2: handful of the best bits from each show. We put
Speaker 2: them up as like separate much shorter podcasts because the
Speaker 2: full Stones like on a good day, around an hour.
Speaker 2: Some guys, that goes much longer than that. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't have time for a one hour podcast every week.
Speaker 1: We understand that you have other things to do. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I usually save long podcasts for like flights and road trips.
Speaker 1: With people that listen to the whole episode on Monday,
Speaker 1: the date's released. Don't you have clothes to wash?
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm very glad that you do listen to
Speaker 2: the full show, and we're grateful that you hear. But
Speaker 2: we're also aware that people are busy. So what we've
Speaker 2: done if we thought we'd give people the option to
Speaker 2: listen to little bits at a time.
Speaker 1: For example, I was googling how to cook a steak,
Speaker 1: and you know the optimal time to cook a steak.
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 1: Ten minutes? Oh?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 1: Yeah, six on one side and four on the other,
Speaker 1: and then you rest it so the blood drains out.
Speaker 1: So that sounded very awful, isn't it. So while you're
Speaker 1: doing that, listen to a little mini episode.
Speaker 2: Sounds like the same thing you do with like a
Speaker 2: corpse after you've murdered someone, rest that so the blood goes.
Speaker 1: Out, hang it from its ankles, from the rafters, and
Speaker 1: the blood drains into the taoll.
Speaker 2: That would take about ten minutes. Is it just me?
Speaker 1: Hey, listen, fellow serial killers, we're catering to you.
Speaker 4: Two.
Speaker 1: Let's get on with a show. People do some weird shit.
Speaker 3: It should in young people inhaling the gas from cooking
Speaker 3: canisters known as names to get high.
Speaker 1: Some things more since than the other. Done everything for you.
Speaker 2: My career I could have been anything if both had
Speaker 2: the talent. Bleace yourself for observations you didn't ask for.
Speaker 2: This is leadership.
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the greatest leaders we've ever had.
Speaker 2: Well good, just.
Speaker 1: A couple of riches. Shoul one of us be and
Speaker 1: the other be Mitchell. Just to make things easier.
Speaker 2: Your Mitch, I only call you Mitchell when you're being annoying.
Speaker 1: You always call me Mitchell. Oh No, he is Mitch
Speaker 1: Juby and Mitchell ku Oh. Here. We are a very
Speaker 1: different kind of show today.
Speaker 2: Everyone, Hello, team, Yes, it's going to be a little
Speaker 2: bit different. We're not in the studio today, and we're
Speaker 2: not even in the same room right now. Remember when
Speaker 2: we were coming up with a backup plan if coronavirus
Speaker 2: forces into isolation, we were going to do the show
Speaker 2: from my lounde room.
Speaker 3: It was going to be so much fun doing zoomba.
Speaker 2: Yes, Jenna was going to do a zoomber tutorial.
Speaker 1: Well that was never confirmed. Let's be real.
Speaker 2: I think it was. Actually I was quite keen for
Speaker 2: a Zombi tutorial from Jenna. But obviously the restrictions around
Speaker 2: coronavirus and social distancing of really tightened, so we've all
Speaker 2: got the pornable mics from home. I'm currently on my
Speaker 2: back porch with a wine in hand. There's some fucking
Speaker 2: rat children running around in their bikes. You know how
Speaker 2: those kids that don't have backyards often play around in
Speaker 2: like the apartment complex carp.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, riding their green machines on their heelies
Speaker 1: push them into an oncoming truck.
Speaker 2: I say, do you know what one of them has?
Speaker 2: Did you guys ever have a zoingo boingo as a kid?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I had a zein No, I had
Speaker 1: a heart foundation one gifted to me, and I popped
Speaker 1: it on the first born.
Speaker 2: That is so ironic, because heart foundation is all about
Speaker 2: heart help.
Speaker 3: Well, I grew up in the forties, so I'm not
Speaker 3: aware of what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, you just had the polio injection
Speaker 1: that was your fun.
Speaker 2: Yes, indeed, Jenna, I must say, it's lovely to have
Speaker 2: you back. We had lots of people passing on their
Speaker 2: condolences for the lossier grandmother. I hope you don't mind
Speaker 2: me asking. But the new social distancing restrictions around coronavirus
Speaker 2: and stuff. Did that mean that you couldn't go to
Speaker 2: your own grandmother's funeral?
Speaker 3: That is correct, Yes, I was unable to go.
Speaker 2: Oh, Jenna, Oh that is so rough.
Speaker 3: And when she was dying only one person could go
Speaker 3: into the room at a time.
Speaker 2: Oh that's horrible. Do you reckon? You guys will do
Speaker 2: anything else? Like you know how some people like to
Speaker 2: do their own little balloon letting go ceremonies and stuff,
Speaker 2: because I feel like, oh, the lack of closure would
Speaker 2: be just awful. Sorry to start in such a dark note.
Speaker 3: No, I actually like that idea. I you know, maybe
Speaker 3: even like a family lunch or something, just a yeah,
Speaker 3: way should remember her.
Speaker 2: It's a tricky time for families and stuff. Can I
Speaker 2: tell you that I literally just received in the mail
Speaker 2: like an Easter care package from my mother because I
Speaker 2: won't be able to travel back to the country for Easter.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm wearing my bunny is right now?
Speaker 1: I look tragic. I mean, can I just say something,
Speaker 1: I've got like a four eighty p skype camera going on.
Speaker 1: But if you like a housewife straight out of the
Speaker 1: middle of picton. You have a what looks to be rose.
Speaker 1: Even though there's no camera quality, I can still see
Speaker 1: the pigment.
Speaker 2: Of the pit.
Speaker 1: Now is it a dressing gown that you're wearing, Darling?
Speaker 2: My word, it is.
Speaker 1: And Easter Bunny is like a retired playboy bunny ugg boots.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can see those ug boots
Speaker 1: and socks. You look like Cat in the hat if
Speaker 1: he had bluddy Alzheimer's, Like what is this look?
Speaker 2: This has been me all week because I'm an annually
Speaker 2: from work at the moment, which means unless they have
Speaker 2: a valid excuse to leave the house, I can't. And
Speaker 2: I've been it seems every day that goes by, it
Speaker 2: creeps forward an hour that I feel it's appropriate to
Speaker 2: start drinking wine.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had a wine the other day at I
Speaker 1: think it was one pm. Did you really that's early
Speaker 1: for a wine? Anyway, we are all self isolating. We're here.
Speaker 1: We're still going to put on a show for you guys.
Speaker 1: It's got to be different and bear with us. There
Speaker 1: might be you know, niggles and sniggles, but who knows.
Speaker 2: Can I tell you? While we were toying with the
Speaker 2: idea of whether or not to just sneak into the
Speaker 2: studio or not. But then I was inspired to stay
Speaker 2: in broadcast from home after I saw on Channel nine
Speaker 2: that her Royal Highness Tracy Grimshaw is doing a Current
Speaker 2: Affair from her spare bedroom and I thought, of it's
Speaker 2: good enough for Tracy Grimshaw, it's good enough for me.
Speaker 2: Did you see it, Mitch?
Speaker 1: I think you sent me the video, but I didn't
Speaker 1: watch it. I just couldn't bear to do it. Her
Speaker 1: sitting in a blazer in her bloody study.
Speaker 2: I've got the audio with me.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, play it.
Speaker 2: Take a listen.
Speaker 4: Hello, I'm Tracy Grimshaw. Welcome to a Current Affair tonight.
Speaker 4: We're coming to you from my bedroom. And there's something
Speaker 4: I never thought i'd say. It's a spare room, and
Speaker 4: in the interests of staying home, will be here for
Speaker 4: a while. I have a small crew who here for
Speaker 4: the first night, which is allowed because there, of course
Speaker 4: at work. As you can see, it is a little
Speaker 4: bit cramped, but we have to do it. We begin
Speaker 4: with the government's monster effort to save the Australian economy.
Speaker 2: Do you like how she just carries on like it's
Speaker 2: just business as usual. I was like, no, no, I
Speaker 2: can't take you seriously when you're sitting in front of
Speaker 2: your Panasonic in your spare room. It was the worst
Speaker 2: home studio I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: Everything And the way that she says that I'm Tracy
Speaker 1: Grimshaw broadcasting tonight from my spare room. Like, I'm Tracy
Speaker 1: Grimshaw broadcasting tonight from my sex room. Turn that off.
Speaker 2: Well that's what I was thinking, Do you reckon? She
Speaker 2: took them into the spare room because she's like, I
Speaker 2: don't want people in my bedroom. That's where she gets frisky.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that story would a leak. People love writing
Speaker 1: articles about Tracy Grimshaw.
Speaker 2: Well, it was all over daily mail and stuff when
Speaker 2: she was broadcasting from home, and it sounded like it
Speaker 2: was going to be permanent. But guess what. Literally a
Speaker 2: day later, she's back in the studio. This is what
Speaker 2: she said.
Speaker 4: Hello, I'm Tracy Grimshaw. Welcome to a current affair.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 4: I know you all love the dogs, me too, but
Speaker 4: I've had to leave them at home and come back
Speaker 4: to the studio tonight while we sought out some logistical issues.
Speaker 2: See the video of her dogs running into her home studio.
Speaker 2: I never knew Tracy Grimshaw was so but she's literally
Speaker 2: like so, apparently the dogs were causing some issues and
Speaker 2: that's why she had to go back to the studio
Speaker 2: Channel nine.
Speaker 3: Well I heard something different.
Speaker 2: What did you hear?
Speaker 3: Confidentially?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we're recording.
Speaker 1: It's on the record.
Speaker 3: Yes, but we're all friends. It's all good.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, basically, apparently somebody was stalking Tracy. They were following
Speaker 3: the Channel nine van to her house, which is why
Speaker 3: they had to move back to the studio.
Speaker 1: Oh no, so they knewe her palatial mansion was exactly
Speaker 1: and they knew.
Speaker 3: Now they know the names of her dogs. They've been
Speaker 3: calling out for them.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're kidding me, all right because of that video.
Speaker 2: I think I saw it on Daily Mail. This video
Speaker 2: was behind the scenes.
Speaker 3: You'll notice you'll notice that she did upload it to
Speaker 3: her own Instagram. But now it's gone.
Speaker 2: Wow, Tracy Grimshaw has stalkers.
Speaker 1: Imagine if her dogs were named after Ozzie TV icon.
Speaker 1: But get off carry Anne, She does not want you
Speaker 1: on her.
Speaker 2: But anyway, we're broadcasting from home. We're going to persist
Speaker 2: and see if we have as much like as Tracy did.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, yeah, I think we'll be okay. We're doing
Speaker 1: okay thus far. But hey, if this is your first
Speaker 1: time listening, good fucking luck. This is not the episode
Speaker 1: to listen to for the first time. But we start
Speaker 1: the show every week with it Is it just me?
Speaker 1: It's something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Why
Speaker 1: don't Mitch, Mitch, you go first? But mine today is
Speaker 1: how do I put this? I don't want you guys
Speaker 1: to think differently of me when I tell you, but
Speaker 1: I have a feeling that I'm going to be judged,
Speaker 1: mostly by you, Mitch, but definitely by the listeners. The
Speaker 1: wording won't be good. I haven't nutted it out yet,
Speaker 1: but I'm anxious for It's the first time I've actually
Speaker 1: been anxious.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: That is quite an extraordinary assumption that I would ever
Speaker 2: judge you, Mitchell. When if I ever in the type
Speaker 2: to criticize you, God.
Speaker 1: Please, I feel like I've got a second mum when
Speaker 1: I'm talking to you sometimes, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, look at me, Look at me in my dressing
Speaker 2: gown on the back porch. That doesn't really do me
Speaker 2: any favors. But before we get into my is it
Speaker 2: just me? I'm gonna kick it off this week. Let
Speaker 2: me tell you that later on we're launching a brand
Speaker 2: new segment that I'm calling gold Digger. This came about
Speaker 2: after last week's show when we had Nat filling in
Speaker 2: as a guest host. Jenny, you weren't here, but I
Speaker 2: learned a lot about Mitch in the space of this
Speaker 2: one show, Jennett, did you know that Mitch a sketches
Speaker 2: like he draws pictures of people? What and b he
Speaker 2: is a fully trained opera singer.
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: No, no, no no no, Jennet, Please don't pretend someone's
Speaker 1: just told you the meaning of life. It's not the
Speaker 1: end of the world.
Speaker 2: Why, Well, I didn't know these things about Mitch, and
Speaker 2: I said that, and he accused me of not asking
Speaker 2: him enough questions about him, and that's the reason I
Speaker 2: didn't know. And so that's why I've got this segment
Speaker 2: gold Digger, coming up. I'm essentially just going to be
Speaker 2: interviewing him, and then next week you'll do me, the
Speaker 2: week after we'll do Jenna. It's basically, we just dig
Speaker 2: for gold, keep asking question after question until we struck
Speaker 2: gold and find a good story that we didn't know
Speaker 2: about each other.
Speaker 1: All right, All right, we're waffling when we can't see
Speaker 1: each other, so we don't know when to Buddy and Mitch,
Speaker 1: why don't you start the show with your first iGEM?
Speaker 2: All right, let's go.
Speaker 1: Is it just me?
Speaker 2: Have you noticed birds getting oh? Right on, que Have
Speaker 2: you noticed birds getting louder ever since self isolation began? Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, I haven't.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Jenna, you're with me.
Speaker 3: You've noticed, oh absolutely, Whenever I'm at my parents' house
Speaker 3: on the weekend, all the birds at five am, I
Speaker 3: swear to God.
Speaker 1: But Jenny, you live in an all marble palace at
Speaker 1: all echoes and reverberates through the wall.
Speaker 3: No, you're talking about your own house. I'm talking about mine.
Speaker 2: Well, unlike the two of you, I'm exceedingly poor. So
Speaker 2: I live in an apartment in five doc. I'm currently
Speaker 2: overlooking the trees, always have birds in them. I'm always
Speaker 2: appreciating the nature. But for some reason, ever since the
Speaker 2: whole coronavirus pandemic really kicked off and became intense and
Speaker 2: people were staying home more, I noticed the birds were
Speaker 2: being louder. And I've spoken to other people and they've
Speaker 2: said the same thing, And so I was curious enough
Speaker 2: to go and do a bit of research about it,
Speaker 2: and I found an article that said the coronavirus has
Speaker 2: drastically transformed the world in sound. The routine cacophony of
Speaker 2: daily life has calmed, lending more weight to noises left behind,
Speaker 2: such as bird calls. Now not only that, but apparently
Speaker 2: some birds in metro areas have conditioned their chirps to
Speaker 2: be extra loud so that they can send warning signals
Speaker 2: to other birds, even in amongst loud traffic and stuff.
Speaker 2: So not only is everything quieter, but also every fucking
Speaker 2: bird in Sydney is like a person walking out of
Speaker 2: a concert where their ears are like blaring and there's
Speaker 2: a little bit deaf. They're like, hah, how.
Speaker 1: Good was that? Oh my gosh, I know this is
Speaker 1: actually really cool because I read that I might be wrong,
Speaker 1: but Australia, sorry, Sydney had the clearest air it's had
Speaker 1: in over two hundred years because there's no planes in
Speaker 1: the sky, there's no cars on the highways, no minimal
Speaker 1: factories are open, and there's just no pollution. The waters
Speaker 1: are clearer. I've got friends who live in Melbourne who
Speaker 1: were filming the beach and the water. You could see
Speaker 1: through the sun was shining through it, like the world
Speaker 1: is kind of like, hey, this is nice. I needed
Speaker 1: this recess.
Speaker 2: That's insane.
Speaker 3: I mean even look at the canals in Venice, like
Speaker 3: they're so clear now are they used to be so murky?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I saw them too.
Speaker 2: That's nuts, Jenna. Remember when we were on the canals
Speaker 2: in Italy, I was fucking munted. I don't remember much
Speaker 2: from that day, nor do I.
Speaker 3: Nor do I.
Speaker 2: So that's funny that there's all these perks that are
Speaker 2: kind of rising out of this coronavirus thing. Do you
Speaker 2: know what I was thinking the other day? Apparently it
Speaker 2: takes twenty one days for human beings to break a habit,
Speaker 2: So like, if you don't chew your nails for twenty
Speaker 2: one days, then you should, in theory, be fine. Do
Speaker 2: you reckon? After like months in isolation, people will just
Speaker 2: get used to not having access to restaurants. What if
Speaker 2: restaurants reopen and just no one goes out because we've
Speaker 2: conditioned to being like this. By the way, can you
Speaker 2: guys hear that over the skype call? I feel like
Speaker 2: the birds knew I was talking about them. They can
Speaker 2: hear them.
Speaker 1: Sounds like you're in the Minamara Rainforest.
Speaker 2: Know I'm in the inner west of Sydney, but it
Speaker 2: literally feels like I'm in the middle of nowhere sometimes
Speaker 2: and that's just how I like it. An Uber driver
Speaker 2: driving me home once made the comment I reckon, you
Speaker 2: live on the quietest street in Sydney, and I said,
Speaker 2: and I'm proud of it.
Speaker 1: Oh that's really cute. Good each look, educational, informative.
Speaker 2: Keeping it out for the loud birds. Mitch, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: We'll do all right. That's a great one. Should jump
Speaker 1: into mine.
Speaker 2: I'll go for your life.
Speaker 5: Is it just me?
Speaker 1: Am I the only one in this podcast that has
Speaker 1: a fan group?
Speaker 2: What do you mean it by a fan group?
Speaker 1: Judge me. I genuinely am interested and I think you would, Mitch.
Speaker 1: But I haven't looked. I don't know. I know you're actus.
Speaker 1: What do you mean though, Well, I a fan group
Speaker 1: has been made for me on Twitter.
Speaker 2: Oh do you mean like a group chat?
Speaker 1: A group chat and people have made me their handles.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, it's.
Speaker 1: Called Mitch Nation or hashtag Mitch Nation. I think I
Speaker 1: don't know imagine Mitch Nation. Everyone would be diabetic.
Speaker 2: And so this has all come about because of your
Speaker 2: celeb interviews you do in your radio show. Right, all
Speaker 2: these fangirls who yes, and this is not me being critical,
Speaker 2: but they are quite you know, they aren't afraid to
Speaker 2: show their love, which I think is quite nice that
Speaker 2: some people are reserved. And so they were like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I enjoy this radio host. They might have tuned in
Speaker 2: for one of their favorite things, Harry Styles. They heard you,
Speaker 2: they liked you, and they're not afraid to let the
Speaker 2: world know. So they changed their Twitter handle to all
Speaker 2: sorts of stuff.
Speaker 1: What was it Mitch Nation. There's a hashtag before sometimes
Speaker 1: they've all come from the big celeb chat. So Harry Styles,
Speaker 1: I reckon got me two hundred followers, and then I
Speaker 1: did Ellie Golding, which got me fifty read or which
Speaker 1: got me more bar ber but Lizzo, which got me
Speaker 1: like three hundred, and then like maybe ten percent of
Speaker 1: the fans stay and then they all go into Mitch Nation.
Speaker 1: And then today they messaged me and they said, Hi,
Speaker 1: we're going to make a fan cam of you. What
Speaker 1: I said, I'm not on only fans, please don't. They said, no,
Speaker 1: it's not that, and then they said, just send us
Speaker 1: a video of you waving to.
Speaker 2: The camera, so I have I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: Jenna, can you google what a fan cam is? No, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's fair enough.
Speaker 2: Hey, it could be I'm not sure, but it could
Speaker 2: be like a mash up of all the people in
Speaker 2: this fan group, because right in the year I think
Speaker 2: it was twenty sixteen. And answer to your question, I've
Speaker 2: had a couple of fan groups over the years. There's
Speaker 2: the Coombs Club that I don't think anyone's written a
Speaker 2: message in that group chat in years, to be honest,
Speaker 2: and there used to be the Honey Combs back in
Speaker 2: the day. But this was all from my youtubing stuff.
Speaker 2: So the year twenty sixteen, I woke up on my
Speaker 2: birthday and I'd been tweeted a link from the Coombs
Speaker 2: Club and they'd all done a mashup of saying happy
Speaker 2: birthday to me. It was the sweetest thing I've ever
Speaker 2: seen in my life. But the difference with that is
Speaker 2: that I wasn't involved in that video. So I'm not
Speaker 2: sure why your little fan club, Mitch would be asking
Speaker 2: you to film yourself.
Speaker 3: Well, do you want to know the definition of a
Speaker 3: fan cam? I found the definition of fan cam It's
Speaker 3: basically footage of a celebrity taken by a fan, most
Speaker 3: likely to be of low quality, most commonly seen in
Speaker 3: the K pop sphere.
Speaker 1: Oh that's me. Yeah, I love seol so Jenna when
Speaker 1: I was planning this because often I bounce to Ich
Speaker 1: and off you not Mitch, so we're both coming in blind.
Speaker 1: You said that you also have a fan club.
Speaker 3: Ish, well, part of a fan club. I am part
Speaker 3: of the Retired Greyhound group on Facebook.
Speaker 1: This conversation can end here.
Speaker 5: Just live, don't forget to subscribe and leave a review
Speaker 5: on your podcast app or follow on the Spotify.
Speaker 2: Okay, every week we get up here on this podcast
Speaker 2: begging you to follow our social media, subscribe to the
Speaker 2: podcast on Apple, leave a review, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2: Bit I have a different favor to ask of you
Speaker 2: guys this week. So because I'm an annual leave at
Speaker 2: the moment, I'm spending my free time editing a lot
Speaker 2: of the videos that I didn't have time to do
Speaker 2: when we filmed them. So there's going to be a
Speaker 2: lot of videos popping up on the couple of Mitchell's
Speaker 2: Facebook and Instagram feed. So not only are we asking
Speaker 2: you to follow us on social media. But if there's
Speaker 2: anyone out there that would feel so inclined as to
Speaker 2: support us, one thing you can do is just tag
Speaker 2: a friend, share the video, maybe message it to them,
Speaker 2: because you know what, some people don't understand and podcasts,
Speaker 2: so asking them to, oh, you should go listen to
Speaker 2: this podcast is actually like a big education for them.
Speaker 2: But even if they just follow us social media and
Speaker 2: watch the videos, that's more than enough for us. So
Speaker 2: if there's anyone in your life that you think has
Speaker 2: a similar sense of humor to you and us, tell
Speaker 2: a friend, as they say.
Speaker 1: That sounds like you're doing an infomercial on Channel seven.
Speaker 1: The first thirteen callers to send a video also get
Speaker 1: a microplane, shave, cheese, fruits, vegetables.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, did I sound too polite and like enthusiastic.
Speaker 2: I'll tell it to you bluntly. I don't want all
Speaker 2: these fucking video edits I do to be a waste
Speaker 2: of time. Try your friends.
Speaker 1: No, I was just very impressed. It just came across
Speaker 1: as very You know, who's that little short, pudgy guy
Speaker 1: on Studio ten?
Speaker 3: Me?
Speaker 1: Not you? No, not you, You're not short? What's his name?
Speaker 1: Carson Kresley or something.
Speaker 2: Are you talking about Jonathan Coleman.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Coleman, the man, the myth, the legend. He does
Speaker 1: all the infomercials by Anthrax, if he sold if he
Speaker 1: was selling it to me.
Speaker 2: Oh, the birds are chiming in again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can hear those birds too much.
Speaker 2: Guys, can you calm down?
Speaker 1: You had your moment.
Speaker 2: I spoke about you, earlieress me.
Speaker 1: It's fine, it's fine. It sounds like you're on a
Speaker 1: nature walk at the you know, I keep wanting to
Speaker 1: reference the mini my rainforest. That's because I went on
Speaker 1: a school excursion there in year seven and it's home
Speaker 1: of their natural liarbirds, and I remember everyone going. The
Speaker 1: liarbirds make sounds. They try to fool you so they're
Speaker 1: not hunted. If we're quiet, we can hear them. If
Speaker 1: you hear an elephant, it's just a liar bird. If
Speaker 1: you hear a lion, it's just a liar bird. They
Speaker 1: can also mimic the sound of chainsaws and car Really
Speaker 1: ten minutes later we here goes there it is a
Speaker 1: liarbird in its natural habitat. Then a man with a
Speaker 1: chainsaw turns around the corner's chopping down dead wood. My bitch,
Speaker 1: you lie, that's a natural chainsaw. We all got excited.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, did you go to this bird sanctuary
Speaker 2: or whatever on April the first. This sounds like a joke.
Speaker 1: No, it's true. And the lirebird can mimic people's can
Speaker 1: mimic any sound. That's how it gets through to predators
Speaker 1: because it can mimic the sound of a tiger or
Speaker 1: a lion or a bear, and it just does it
Speaker 1: and then it's predators run off.
Speaker 3: Yes, actually that is true. That is true. I went
Speaker 3: on a day trip in Victoria on the way to
Speaker 3: Sovereign Hill, which is where I went to that gold mine,
Speaker 3: and they told us about that liar bird as well, which.
Speaker 1: Is where I went to that gold mine in eighteen hundred,
Speaker 1: I was killed struck by a gold lad.
Speaker 2: Well, general, I'm glad you've mentioned gold mine. That's a
Speaker 2: beautiful segue into my new segment, gold Digger, that we're
Speaker 2: launching today. So, Mitch, you're going to be so proud
Speaker 2: of me. You're usually when we're in the studio, you're
Speaker 2: the one that goes wild. You love a good sound effect.
Speaker 2: You're always playing them. Well, let me tell you I've
Speaker 2: been bored this week. I've been I've got a little
Speaker 2: bit carried away. So I found I found possibly the
Speaker 2: worst song in the world called gold Digger. That is
Speaker 2: now our official opener for this brand new segment.
Speaker 1: Hit it. No, I'm a gold digger.
Speaker 2: Oh my down into the mind. Yet here we go,
Speaker 2: We're out of the cage.
Speaker 1: Elevator did you put sound effects of did you google
Speaker 1: Winch sound effects? No?
Speaker 2: I that metal elevator going down to mine. That sound
Speaker 2: effect actually came from this is so gay. It came
Speaker 2: from the Billy Elliott music or soundtrack. Shut At the
Speaker 2: end of the song, we once were kings where they
Speaker 2: go down into the mine. I'm going to play this
Speaker 2: intro again. We're doing this segment multiple times. It's going
Speaker 2: to catch on. I'm telling you guys, I'm a gold digger.
Speaker 2: So gold Digger is our new segment designed to learn
Speaker 2: more about each other. This came about because I found
Speaker 2: out that Mitch has been hiding all these golden stories
Speaker 2: under his belt. He's a sketch artist, he is an
Speaker 2: opera singer. All these things I had no idea about,
Speaker 2: and he blamed me for not asking enough questions about him.
Speaker 2: So that's where the segments come from. We're going to
Speaker 2: take turns interviewing each other. The one copying the questions
Speaker 2: this week, my friend, I just.
Speaker 1: Think this is a This is a cheap excuse of
Speaker 1: a friend. You just with this stuff naturally comes out
Speaker 1: if you weren't constantly berating me and I didn't have
Speaker 1: to defend myself twenty four to seven. Maybe you learn
Speaker 1: that I have a beautiful diaphragm.
Speaker 2: We all right, then we won't do it jumpers.
Speaker 1: No, no, I'm very no. Stay down in the mine.
Speaker 1: It's nice. It's nice and cool down here. I like it.
Speaker 2: Okay, great, do you want to see my pickaxe? Oh god, yes, yes,
Speaker 2: so obviously there's several lines of question and we could
Speaker 2: go down to try and find some gold. So might
Speaker 2: just kick off with Oh god, there's dogs howling and
Speaker 2: shit in the background. Oh really, sit.
Speaker 1: Up, don't do it to the dogs.
Speaker 2: It's a kavdah. That made it worse, That made it worse.
Speaker 2: Oh shut up, mutt, I'm going inside. This is a
Speaker 2: lovely time on the on the back porch.
Speaker 1: But no, take your rosa, don't forget the bunny. Maybe
Speaker 1: they can see the bunny is and they think you're
Speaker 1: a giant toy.
Speaker 2: Oh, Mitch, don't make it too.
Speaker 1: Much nose, or we'll have another week's field on our hands.
Speaker 2: Two things. All right, let's start digging for gold, shall we?
Speaker 2: Here's mine?
Speaker 1: Ow, careful, get me in my eye?
Speaker 2: Oh what have we got here? Okay, Mitchell, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: start digging around your school life. Let's see if we
Speaker 2: can find some gold there. Okay, ask away? What's schoolage?
Speaker 2: Go to?
Speaker 1: I went to Wallaway High School in the Crenella region.
Speaker 1: Fun fact, it's actually built on Mangrove, so every year
Speaker 1: it sings one millimeter.
Speaker 3: I'm bored.
Speaker 2: I know a fun fact when I hear it, Darlin,
Speaker 2: And that's not it. I'm not finding any gold there?
Speaker 2: What about? What about? Who was your favorite teacher?
Speaker 1: Oh god, this is hard because I loved all my teachers.
Speaker 1: I had such a close relationship. Boring.
Speaker 2: Or I'm gonna start digging about elsewhere? Okay, what are we.
Speaker 1: Gosh, careful, you'll get it in Jenna's hair?
Speaker 2: Oh you beauty, what have we got here? Eureka, We've
Speaker 2: struck gold here, kids, Let's see, or it could all
Speaker 2: just be bronze. Who knows, let's have let's have a
Speaker 2: dig around and I soul. It's me your relationship Mitch. Oh,
Speaker 2: so okay, Hayden, your boyfriend. How long have you been together.
Speaker 1: Again as of today? Eighteen months?
Speaker 2: Eighteen months? Okay. I rip into you a lot for
Speaker 2: still living at home with your parents. Do you see
Speaker 2: yourself moving out of home anytime soon? And if so,
Speaker 2: will you be moving in with your boyfriend?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's the next plant. We're both currently like
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, we can't live at home much longer, and
Speaker 1: we both like love, like I just love having a
Speaker 1: space and just like putting all my shit and getting money.
Speaker 1: Intendo switched that up, and I've got my room's all
Speaker 1: smart room, and I've got the lights and everything, and
Speaker 1: I've got my Siri. And you leave my bedroom and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it's Suzanne Gray and Bloody Howard
Speaker 1: sell Storage like it's my family house. So I'd like
Speaker 1: to just have like a space that I can be
Speaker 1: and exists with him, and he wants the same.
Speaker 2: Well, let's go next step after you move in together, presumably,
Speaker 2: do you see yourself mad, worrying, Hayden.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, definitely. I'd like to know. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I know we've both discussed it.
Speaker 2: You've discussed it.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, Oh I just got blushed for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you two giggle. The only relationship you've had is
Speaker 1: a buddy twelve months Stan subscription, which.
Speaker 2: I just blushed for you because I was happy for you.
Speaker 2: There was absolutely no need to have a dig at me.
Speaker 1: I can't I can't see you. So I thought there
Speaker 1: were snickers. Yeah, for sure. I think every couple at
Speaker 1: the one year mark sort of reassesses everything and goes Jesus,
Speaker 1: it's been twelve months because the honey like I'll be
Speaker 1: our honeymoon phase is still well and truly going strong.
Speaker 2: Do you feel like that as often as you do
Speaker 2: when you first started seeing each other?
Speaker 1: Well, I work nights, so the only option is weekends because.
Speaker 2: You've never mentioned that, Oh you work nine Do you
Speaker 2: do you have a team?
Speaker 1: Oh you are. Don't ask me a question that knock
Speaker 1: the answer.
Speaker 2: I want to take a little rewine now, because I
Speaker 2: remember there was a period in time before you were
Speaker 2: working as late nights as you currently are. I finished
Speaker 2: around two pm and then you would start around twelve pm,
Speaker 2: So there was a brief window where we're both in
Speaker 2: the office at the same time. I was the only
Speaker 2: person that knew about your secret gay relationship. Everyone else
Speaker 2: in the office thought you were straight. Sometimes you'd show
Speaker 2: up late to work and you'd be sweaty, you'd be clustered,
Speaker 2: you'd have messy hair, and I think I know exactly
Speaker 2: what you've been up to because your boyfriend lives not
Speaker 2: far from the radio station we worker, and the boss
Speaker 2: would be like, where have you been, mate, and you'd
Speaker 2: come up with an excuse, Oh, sorry, oh I had
Speaker 2: to take menanda, you know whatever. And I'm there thinking
Speaker 2: I know exactly what you've been doing. You've been chock
Speaker 2: a block up that slam piece you banned on Tinder,
Speaker 2: haven't you.
Speaker 1: First of all, we didn't meet on Tinder. And secondly, no,
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: Just again you sniffed him out on Instagram.
Speaker 1: I slid into his DMS on Instagram. Yeah right, I
Speaker 1: actually said, because I'm a cash cock for kiss Oh
Speaker 1: you're all so bad, Shut up. I am the cashcock, yes,
Speaker 1: and I have photos of myself dressed as a cashcog
Speaker 1: and I had never slid it to anyone's DMS before,
Speaker 1: and I just said, hey, I know this is unexpected.
Speaker 1: Don't take it the wrong way, but I hope you
Speaker 1: like this unsolicited cockpit went down street.
Speaker 2: Where did you find him in the perth place? Did
Speaker 2: you literally just type in hashtag instagay or Sydney gay,
Speaker 2: because I know a lot of people put that on
Speaker 2: the instapose Sydney gay.
Speaker 1: So I believe he followed me first. And I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'll just like like a whole bunch of photos. I did.
Speaker 1: He did, and then it sort of nothing went nothing
Speaker 1: happened for a while, and I was kind of like,
Speaker 1: I had this crush on this guy, talked him on Facebook,
Speaker 1: friends on Instagram, nothing more. And then I remember I
Speaker 1: had Tinder at the time, but I'd never spoken to
Speaker 1: anyone at length, like ever had any conversation with anyone anyway.
Speaker 1: I remember I had seen him put a post up
Speaker 1: at Sydney Uni, and this is so embarrassing, this is
Speaker 1: actually God, I've never told anyone this. I remember I
Speaker 1: would drive under the Harbor Tunnel on my way to work,
Speaker 1: full knowing that Sydney UNI was above me, and I'd
Speaker 1: go like forty flo an hour, turn my Tinder on,
Speaker 1: make the setting ten meters just in the hope that
Speaker 1: we'd match when I was underneath and then I'd like
Speaker 1: keep swiping no no, no, yes no, and I couldn't
Speaker 1: find him and it was devastating.
Speaker 2: Oh, Mitchell, that's so sweet. I don't know if it's
Speaker 2: the roads they makeing me a bit tittily, but I
Speaker 2: was tearing up. That's very sweet. Although we you tindering
Speaker 2: while driving.
Speaker 1: I know it's not good, but I've got the drive
Speaker 1: down pack. I don't endorse it, but hey, we struck anyway.
Speaker 1: One night at work, I was on Tinder and he
Speaker 1: came up. Now I know he lives five minutes from work.
Speaker 1: I had no idea and he came up and I
Speaker 1: super liked him. I'm like, I'm not going to let
Speaker 1: my fucking chances go.
Speaker 2: That's a That's a good move though, because being Instagram
Speaker 2: mutuals and then matching on Tinder that kind of solidifies. Yep,
Speaker 2: we're interested in each other in a way other than
Speaker 2: just friends or like colleagues on Instagram.
Speaker 1: You know, one hundred percent, once we started talking, we
Speaker 1: haven't stopped. I don't think there's been a day since
Speaker 1: that first DM side that we haven't spoken.
Speaker 2: I can vouch for that. You are literally almost texting
Speaker 2: each other. Okay, So I don't know about you, Jenna,
Speaker 2: but I reckon we struck gold in terms of relationship questions.
Speaker 2: You reckon. We keep digging here.
Speaker 3: Oh, let's keep digging, all right, here we go. I
Speaker 3: think I've got a good feeling about this one.
Speaker 1: Ow.
Speaker 3: Oh, this is a good one.
Speaker 2: Here's the good shit. Alright, Mitchell, you've said that you
Speaker 2: and Hayden have spoken about getting married one day. Are
Speaker 2: you going to wait for him to propose? Or is
Speaker 2: he going to wait for you to propose?
Speaker 1: Oh? I think I don't know why. He asked me
Speaker 1: to be official and boyfriends, but I said I love
Speaker 1: you first, So I guess it's anyone's game. But I
Speaker 1: guess i'd probably ask. I am definitely the romantic in
Speaker 1: the relationship. Oh my god, like I like you saw
Speaker 1: what I made him for Valentine's.
Speaker 2: Days, wrote in actually asking how did that trip go?
Speaker 2: Because you planned a Melbourne trip for him, the main
Speaker 2: reason being to see Miley Syra's live. She didn't fly
Speaker 2: here because of Corona. Was it a good weekend? Still?
Speaker 1: It was really nice. It was the last weekend anyone
Speaker 1: was able to fly in New South Wales so and victorious,
Speaker 1: so it was kind of like the last escape. It
Speaker 1: was really nice. We went to the Art Museum, we
Speaker 1: had really good food. We went to Nobu, which was
Speaker 1: super fans.
Speaker 3: You didn't have Rama though.
Speaker 1: Didn't have Rama, no, Jenna, sadly not, but you know,
Speaker 1: next it's always next time. But we had it. We
Speaker 1: had a really good trip. Nothing went to plan, but
Speaker 1: we just shopped and had fun and sort of had
Speaker 1: a little like just ran around town together. That was
Speaker 1: really cute right there for forty eight hours.
Speaker 2: That's cool. You're not the sort of person that gets
Speaker 2: like thrown if things don't go according to plan. I
Speaker 2: used to be really bad at that, but I think
Speaker 2: I'm getting a bit better. But yeah, I don't think
Speaker 2: you're the type that would just be like, yeah, well whatever,
Speaker 2: I we'll just you know, roll with the bunches.
Speaker 1: Now what I love spontaneous. I love rooting like I
Speaker 1: like literally the first time we met for some we met,
Speaker 1: I drove to his house, kissed him and drove off.
Speaker 2: Oh I remember you telling him I was a good move.
Speaker 2: That was at a time when you were very inexperienced.
Speaker 2: You've actually overtaken me in the gay Relationship department. You're
Speaker 2: more experienced than I, but you were like checking in
Speaker 2: with me and getting advice. You were like without a
Speaker 2: good move, and I was like, yeah, Darlin, that's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was very you know me. I
Speaker 1: liked to in my eyes, I'm like always in the
Speaker 1: movie like I'm always like trying to do something. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I literally had a dinner at six thirty in
Speaker 1: the city and it was six and we were dming
Speaker 1: for three weeks, facetiming every night, never met, but we're
Speaker 1: really falling for each other. And he was like, do
Speaker 1: you have time to come over and cuddle? And I
Speaker 1: was in the closet. I'm like, oh my god, no,
Speaker 1: I couldn't have got a meeting in the city with
Speaker 1: my boss. And then I'm like, you know what, fuck it.
Speaker 1: I'm young, I'm cool, I got good hair, I can go.
Speaker 1: What's your address? He said his address. It was two
Speaker 1: minutes from where I was. I had just left work,
Speaker 1: so I'm like, oh my god. So I literally turned
Speaker 1: the car around, drove there, put the window down, and
Speaker 1: was like, Hi, is this is this East ride? Like
Speaker 1: made some stupid joke and he was like yeah, And
Speaker 1: then we just kissed for the first time after talking
Speaker 1: every day for a couple of weeks. And then I said,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, dude, I've got a dinner to go to
Speaker 1: and I sped.
Speaker 2: Off, Oh my god, I bet he would have like
Speaker 2: jumped straight in his queer group. She had been like, guys,
Speaker 2: oh my god, the crazy thing has happened. Now I've
Speaker 2: got a couple more questions for you. Do you ever
Speaker 2: worry that's settling down this early? Because you literally came
Speaker 2: out of the closet and ten minutes later you're practically engaged.
Speaker 2: Do you ever worry that you're going to be robbed
Speaker 2: of that experience of like being the young gay that
Speaker 2: goes out clubbing, passion randoms, you know, being a young
Speaker 2: single gay. Do you ever worry that you're not going
Speaker 2: to experience that?
Speaker 1: Not really like I and this is you know, I
Speaker 1: don't feel it's as caught up in my identity as
Speaker 1: it is for other people. So it really my life
Speaker 1: doesn't hinge on that at all. Like I have so
Speaker 1: many other things that are on my list to do,
Speaker 1: Like I'm very career driven, very career focused, and I've
Speaker 1: got so many things that I want to get done
Speaker 1: that I literally couldn't care less. And if I have
Speaker 1: a life partner, that's like, oh my god, we can
Speaker 1: we can have fun. It's great and we're having the
Speaker 1: intimacy and I can get my romantic side out, like
Speaker 1: who cares if it's you know, my first relationship or
Speaker 1: my fiftieth. Also, for God's sake, I'm so sweat, like
Speaker 1: there's no tomorrow. Nothing worse than a group orgy and
Speaker 1: all my gay friends like, oh, I put my dick
Speaker 1: in a piece of fiberglass and someone sucked it. It could
Speaker 1: have been a greyhound, but I think it was a man.
Speaker 1: I'm like, what what do you mean?
Speaker 2: No, I'm with you on that. I'm with you on that.
Speaker 2: I've never been interested in, like anything more than a
Speaker 2: two is them three sims? No, which is not the
Speaker 2: people that go to these random spas and saunas and
Speaker 2: just have that in the dark and it's total randoms.
Speaker 2: Give them gobbies. I'm like, that is like my nightmare.
Speaker 1: Just FYI hear, no kink, shame, doors open, do whatever
Speaker 1: you like. We love it, but definitely not for me.
Speaker 1: I just couldn't do it. And I have the confidence.
Speaker 2: Of course, it's the premise of the podcast. Is it
Speaker 2: just me and I'm assuming because so many other gays
Speaker 2: get amongst that nonsense, it's not just them. Correct, We're
Speaker 2: in the minority here saying that it's not for us.
Speaker 2: One other thing I was wondering quite important to me, Actually,
Speaker 2: you said that you're going to tie the knot with
Speaker 2: Hayden down the track. Neither you or he have brothers,
Speaker 2: so the obligatory best man role does not go to
Speaker 2: a brother. So is it going to be me? I'm
Speaker 2: going to be the best men?
Speaker 1: Sal Oh my god? Do you know what this is?
Speaker 1: Genuine You've struck gold. I really have honestly thought about
Speaker 1: asking you. It's actual thought that I have had very recently,
Speaker 1: because my sister asked me. My sister they thought I
Speaker 1: was straight, both of them, genuinely, and they were like bet.
Speaker 1: My sister, Becky was the oldest one, was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is great. She's like, ever since I watched Sarah
Speaker 1: Jessica Parker at a gay wedding on Sex and the City,
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to be a gay person's best man
Speaker 1: or best girl and wear a jumpsuit. And she's like,
Speaker 1: can I be yours? I'm like, of course, again, I
Speaker 1: don't care. So i'd have my two sisters as my
Speaker 1: best man or best sisters, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Well, you can't have two best men. There's a hierarchy.
Speaker 2: There's like the groom party, like two greens men, and
Speaker 2: then one is like the elite bitch. Now, I'm not
Speaker 2: trying to lead you down a certain path, but I
Speaker 2: would like you to bear in mind just how organized
Speaker 2: I am. Now. I will not fail you one bit
Speaker 2: on that day. I won't forget a thing. I'll run
Speaker 2: that tight ship all right. I'll have your sisters in
Speaker 2: the pity party as well. It's all good, But I
Speaker 2: reckon I would be the best top dog of the
Speaker 2: Groom's party.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, here's the thing. I don't want to party
Speaker 1: with those penis straws. I don't want to pin the
Speaker 1: dick on the dude.
Speaker 2: I want to never do that to you. I know
Speaker 2: you well enough.
Speaker 1: You know what you do. Okay, you're in first place currently. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's well, I'm not going to commit. And I can't
Speaker 1: commit because I just I just need to go see
Speaker 1: where things are. And I've got Gaudy at work, who
Speaker 1: I was basically his best man at his audi.
Speaker 2: At work, he'll forget to turn up. He'll have a
Speaker 2: kid by then. Honestly, my priority, Jenna, are you going
Speaker 2: to be one of the bloody flower girls or something?
Speaker 1: You know what?
Speaker 3: I was just thinking flower girl. I think I would
Speaker 3: suit that role to a tea.
Speaker 1: Jenna. You could be my flower. You could even catch
Speaker 1: the bouquet. Okay, Oh, this has been a beautiful segment.
Speaker 1: I can't wait to drill you next week. Oh God,
Speaker 1: that sounds speak.
Speaker 2: Hey, one other question I had do you ever worry
Speaker 2: that your relationship may impact your social life? Because you
Speaker 2: mentioned Gordy just then, and there's a few other people
Speaker 2: friends in your life that you would have had more
Speaker 2: time for to hang out with before you were in
Speaker 2: a relationship. Obviously, your relationships your priority. That's as it
Speaker 2: should be. But do you ever think to yourself, Oh,
Speaker 2: I don't spend as much time with my friends anymore.
Speaker 1: Oh I don't worry about it. I know it, of
Speaker 1: course I do. All my friends have given up on
Speaker 1: trying to contact me weekends. I only have time for
Speaker 1: my family and hate. I'm very I love my family,
Speaker 1: very love his family. I'm very family orientated on both sides.
Speaker 1: So to see them, then to see him, then to
Speaker 1: spend quality time with him, and then to see friends.
Speaker 1: Just I just can't do it. And that's not even
Speaker 1: a cop out like they just really is heard. But
Speaker 1: I also am here's my thing. I also have been
Speaker 1: bad before this, Like before Hayden, I don't reply to
Speaker 1: messages to day sometimes and I will ignore messages not
Speaker 1: out of rudeness, out of complete and utter laziness. I
Speaker 1: am a great friend, and I'm a good person and
Speaker 1: I'm a fun friend, but I'm a terrible, terrible friend.
Speaker 2: It's important to be self aware, Okay, good exactly. That's
Speaker 2: actually that's actually something I often worry about when it
Speaker 2: comes to being single and dating and stuff, because I
Speaker 2: actually think one of the reasons that I don't try
Speaker 2: and get a relationship is because I don't see myself
Speaker 2: ever being able to give up spending time with my friends.
Speaker 2: And what happens if I end up dating someone who
Speaker 2: is like you or is like Hateen where they want
Speaker 2: to spend all the spare time they have with their partner.
Speaker 2: I can't see myself giving up that time with my
Speaker 2: friends if they want to hang with me and my
Speaker 2: friends too, and obviously there'd be quality one or one
Speaker 2: time as well. But I just takes me out the
Speaker 2: thought of someone expecting me to want to be with
Speaker 2: them all the time, like I would need that balance.
Speaker 1: I felt the same. And but once you have a
Speaker 1: relationship where it's sort of they become your best friend
Speaker 1: in a way, you sort of don't miss it because
Speaker 1: you're getting it. It sort of all meld into one
Speaker 1: where I still feel like I'm getting my fix, and
Speaker 1: then I feel bad for not seeing my friends, but
Speaker 1: it just becomes your priority.
Speaker 2: Well, look, I think it's safe to say, Jenna, we've
Speaker 2: struck gold. I've learned a lot about Mitch in this
Speaker 2: space of this segment. I can't wait for the next
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. We're going to be digging gold with you, Jenna,
Speaker 2: and you guys are going to do the same with me.
Speaker 2: And I'm an open book. You can ask me whatever you.
Speaker 1: Know what could be cooled down the track. If you're
Speaker 1: listening and you're not part of our super secret Facebook
Speaker 1: group Endurant Idiots, you can add yourself in. We hit
Speaker 1: two hundred members. Random applause for the idiots. Yeah you can.
Speaker 1: You can. If you've got a gold good question, put
Speaker 1: it in the chat, and you never know. We might
Speaker 1: even throw it in the mix. I'm next to gold
Speaker 1: dig so I might use it. If you've got a
Speaker 1: question you want to know about general Mitch, put it
Speaker 1: in the group and I'll ask it.
Speaker 2: It remains to be seen whether we're back in the
Speaker 2: studio or still doing it remotely like we currently are.
Speaker 2: I reckon it would be easier to do it when
Speaker 2: I'm not making eye contact.
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree. But Jenna, great to have you back. Mitch,
Speaker 1: great to be here. I can't wait to see you
Speaker 1: all in person once again. And smell the light smell
Speaker 1: of cooking oil when Jenner enters the room, essentral oils
Speaker 1: when Mitch just walks into the studio, I miss you both.
Speaker 2: Can't believe whatever, No, that's the Katie Perry perfume I
Speaker 2: don't like. Essentially, Yes, I'm looking forward to being back again,
Speaker 2: but I'm glad that we were able to make a
Speaker 2: show happen this week. Guys, me too, Me to it.
Speaker 1: I actually think it worked well. God Christ Almighty, this
Speaker 1: was one of the best shows we've ever done.
Speaker 2: We haven't listened back yet, Chief, so we'll find out anyway.
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening. Guys. We're back again next Monday. Join
Speaker 2: us again. Don't forget to subscribe if you're listening on
Speaker 2: Apple or follow us on Spotify.
Speaker 1: Bye everyone, We'll see you next week.
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening, guys, see ya, bye bye. Welcome to
Speaker 2: aid to Debrief. This is our secret segment where we
Speaker 2: trick people out of listening to the real show. This
Speaker 2: is meant to be the part where we go a
Speaker 2: bit rogue and Mitch goes a bit feral on the
Speaker 2: sound effects. And the reason we trick people out of
Speaker 2: listening is because I just feel hand on heart. It's
Speaker 2: not good content. But you have no panel to play
Speaker 2: with this week, so I'm just cheering right now.
Speaker 3: Thank god, it's all good.
Speaker 1: We're doing it now. So if you can't, sorry guys,
Speaker 1: one second, if you can't get it, it's all you can't, Okay, cool,
Speaker 1: all right, thanks, thanks for trying. Sorry, that was Nick
Speaker 1: the tech. He tried. He's been trying over nine They
Speaker 1: can't connect the live people are tweeting us currently live,
Speaker 1: but he actually said the most tweets we've ever had
Speaker 1: ever since you opened up about your beautiful relationship with
Speaker 1: your loving partner. Hate it.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to keep a to d brief brief
Speaker 2: in fact this week, because we went on so long
Speaker 2: about your relationship, how did we feel the gold Digger
Speaker 2: went as a segment team.
Speaker 1: To be honest, I think it was a great segment,
Speaker 1: but I'm exhausted. I love to mentally, physically, sexually like
Speaker 1: it's just been it's been a real whirlwind. I love
Speaker 1: the segment.
Speaker 3: Think, well, that's mining for you, that's mining.
Speaker 1: It's hard, very very true. That a great point. I
Speaker 1: feel like I've got the black lam. But I also think, Mitch,
Speaker 1: we should we need a sound effect that gets this
Speaker 1: out of the mind because in theory theater of the mind,
Speaker 1: we're still down in Beaconsfield.
Speaker 2: Well maybe that's how I intended it. We're still down
Speaker 2: there right now. It's fucking freezing. I'll give you the
Speaker 2: it is cold.
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on. That's okay. I can hear it.
Speaker 1: I really like it. I can't wait to question YouTube
Speaker 1: because Midge, we're actually we're very, very close. You're one
Speaker 1: of my closest friends.
Speaker 2: You're in the hierarchies high too much emphasis on one.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't want to I didn't want to say
Speaker 1: best friend then you'd be like dogs, ask you're my
Speaker 1: best friend? Yep, my best friend is a sheep from
Speaker 1: Bogan Gate. You know who knows what you'd say.
Speaker 2: Well, just wait until you hear the reaction. Don't preempt it,
Speaker 2: because even then you thought that I was going to
Speaker 2: get angry at you for saying best friend, but in
Speaker 2: fact the opposite. I was like, I don't like the
Speaker 2: fact that you said one of dula and I reckon
Speaker 2: I'd be out there at the top.
Speaker 1: So I was just I was just anxious that you
Speaker 1: would have thought it was too soon, but you definitely are.
Speaker 1: You are my best friend.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well I'm here as well, just letting.
Speaker 1: You guys, I love you.
Speaker 2: I've been overseas together. And let me tell you there
Speaker 2: are things about this woman that I can't reveal on
Speaker 2: this podcast. Hold it for gold Digger, Hold it, oh
Speaker 2: I will. Let's just go straight to the Kentiki chip
Speaker 2: where she let loose.
Speaker 1: Leave her alone. We've all been on a Kentuki trip
Speaker 1: where we let loose.
Speaker 2: I didn't did I dinner?
Speaker 3: No you didn't.
Speaker 2: I mean I was drunk the whole time, and Amsterdam
Speaker 2: was a bit of a blo But like whatever, that's
Speaker 2: no different to me and Sydney.
Speaker 1: Very true. Actually, I haven't been overseas with you, Mitch,
Speaker 1: but we What have we done? Oh, we've been to
Speaker 1: a we've been stay with your sister. That was actually
Speaker 1: a really nice trip. I enjoyed that. Got to meet
Speaker 1: your niece and nephew and your sister.
Speaker 2: That was for the free accommodation. We went to a
Speaker 2: wedding down Hunter Valley where she leaves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was actually really nice. That was a work
Speaker 1: wedding there.
Speaker 2: We've had a work trip as well. Do you remember
Speaker 2: when we caught before we went to the Gold Coast
Speaker 2: for the LOGI Awards.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Now.
Speaker 2: It takes a lot to get me drunk. I'm a
Speaker 2: country kid, like I can drink till the cows come home.
Speaker 2: But you are a lightweight. And somehow we managed to
Speaker 2: get on the same level. I don't know how, but
Speaker 2: we thought that it was funny to run around the
Speaker 2: Star in the Gold Coast and steal all the complimentary
Speaker 2: TV Weeks that was put at everyone's motel and dons.
Speaker 2: And we just had this big stack of TV Week
Speaker 2: magazine and I was like, what the fuck do we
Speaker 2: do with them? Now?
Speaker 1: I took one home to my mum, one home to
Speaker 1: my name, one home to my auntie, no joke. They
Speaker 1: loved them, I remember that. And we got so incredibly
Speaker 1: drunk that we did we stay in the same We
Speaker 1: had separate no no no, because I was hosting the
Speaker 1: show live from the red carpet on the air, so stressful.
Speaker 1: So as soon as that ended, I pounded some drinks
Speaker 1: and then I had a better hotel room than you
Speaker 1: because they booked me like a like a talent room.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that?
Speaker 2: Was it the Crown or the Stargena? Google that shit.
Speaker 1: I got confused between the two, and I know that.
Speaker 2: It has the same name as one of the big
Speaker 2: casinos in Sydney on Melbourne, so it's either the Crown
Speaker 2: Gold Coast or the Star Gold Coast.
Speaker 1: I think I think it's the I think it's the
Speaker 1: Crowd and then renamed Jupiters. Who knows, but I had.
Speaker 1: I had a luxury penthouse with a king's eyed bed
Speaker 1: and city views and water view.
Speaker 2: Especially you had two king beds, which was I was like,
Speaker 2: I'm just going to be sleeping here, bro.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did have two king beds, and you were
Speaker 1: in the fucking Meryton next door Best West. Yes, that
Speaker 1: was actually fun. And you know what the flight there,
Speaker 1: do you remember this? The flight there was the day
Speaker 1: of the Logis and the logis all international listeners. We've
Speaker 1: probably mentioned them before. They're like the Emmys in Australia.
Speaker 1: They're exclusively TV awards in Australia, relatively small industry, so
Speaker 1: everyone knows everyone, everyone's probably fucked each other.
Speaker 2: Calling them the Emmys really removes the Bogan factor, like
Speaker 2: it's so trashy with you you can't take them too seriously.
Speaker 2: They're the fucking Logis On the Gold.
Speaker 1: Coast Our Breakfast Show, not our radio show, our big
Speaker 1: like you know, flagship breakfast show. The Today Show, which
Speaker 1: a lot of other countries have is was hosted by
Speaker 1: Karl Stefanovic and Lisa Wilkinson. One year they got so
Speaker 1: drunk and partied for so long, most likely mostly Carl
Speaker 1: the host.
Speaker 2: It was Carl.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Karl didn't sleep and he hosted the show the
Speaker 1: next morning which starts at five am, still blind drunk,
Speaker 1: and they do on site broadcast, so they were live
Speaker 1: from the from the Star. It's drunk?
Speaker 3: Is it the Star, Jenna or the Crown it is
Speaker 3: the Star, Gold the Star.
Speaker 2: I got it right.
Speaker 1: So they hosted it from in the Star drunk on
Speaker 1: the air, and that was allowed on Australian television. That's
Speaker 1: the level where I.
Speaker 2: Know he got quite a bit of backlash. Actually, Jenna,
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure do a bit of googling for me there.
Speaker 2: He was actually like stood down for like a couple
Speaker 2: of days because there was such backlash. He was taken
Speaker 2: off the show for a little bit and then had
Speaker 2: to come back on and apologize. Really yeah, sorry, this
Speaker 2: is backtracking a little bit. We were talking earlier during
Speaker 2: your Iger Mitch about like fan videos and stuff. I've
Speaker 2: managed to track down the video the birthday message that
Speaker 2: my fans back in the day made for me. I
Speaker 2: messaged one of my former fans. She couldn't care less
Speaker 2: if I died these days. But no less she got
Speaker 2: back to me and she's found the video full filled
Speaker 2: with these birthday messages. It was such a nice surprise.
Speaker 2: Let me find it. Here we go. Are you ready
Speaker 2: for the ship? Yes, I'm on my home internet, Brothers.
Speaker 2: It's it's a bit slow. Here we go, Mitchell.
Speaker 3: It's Maya or Target. Okay, it's Jazz.
Speaker 2: I've got some Damn. We've got Bianca, We've got Megan,
Speaker 2: We've got Steph, We've got Ebony. They're often the Coombs Club.
Speaker 1: Can we just not listen? I'm over.
Speaker 3: I love what a real, genuine and honest person you are.
Speaker 3: It's honestly really cool to have someone like you to
Speaker 3: look up to in a world of.
Speaker 1: Fake people.
Speaker 3: I love you, I love you and wish you of course,
Speaker 3: Troy Savonn, is this the Maya that I know as well?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: I like Maya.
Speaker 1: Yes I'm more of a David Jones guy. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I used to call her.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure I used to call her target. I
Speaker 2: had quite a close friendship going on with that Komb's
Speaker 2: Club back in the day. God, that's what they're doing now.
Speaker 2: They've all moved on to bigger and better things. Who's
Speaker 2: the cool thing now on social media?
Speaker 1: Mitch Jury quite clearly.
Speaker 3: Oh god, you wish Now.
Speaker 2: This is not me being like a bitter and jealous
Speaker 2: and like trying to make you feel bad. This is
Speaker 2: genuine advice. Don't get too attached to it, because people do.
Speaker 2: If there's one thing I learned from back in the
Speaker 2: YouTube days, when predominantly my audience was teenagers. People go
Speaker 2: through phases like you know how when you're a teenager,
Speaker 2: I went through a short stack phase. I went through
Speaker 2: a my chemical romance phase. The love is intense at
Speaker 2: the time, but it's very short lived, so take it personally.
Speaker 2: When the chury fucking whatever it is dies very quickly.
Speaker 2: But then there'll be another wave of teenagers come through.
Speaker 2: Because but when you're an adult, I feel like you're
Speaker 2: or your interests lingers a bit and you've just got
Speaker 2: a casual like for something. But teenagers, they are obsessed
Speaker 2: with something and then they don't care anymore.
Speaker 1: No, I agree, And you're actually very good at advice.
Speaker 1: I remember the first bit of advice you gave me,
Speaker 1: because you were very good when I came out because
Speaker 1: I have a lot of gay friends, but also I
Speaker 1: like had admitted it to myself for a while. But
Speaker 1: then I'm like, all right, let's do the public phase.
Speaker 1: And you I was like, oh my god, Like I'm
Speaker 1: consuming all this gay content that I would never otherwise
Speaker 1: have watched, Like I still love drag Race. I spoke
Speaker 1: about it last week, we no other week before, and
Speaker 1: I just binge that I binge, please like me Josh Thomas.
Speaker 1: I would watch documentaries, I'd watch YouTube videos. I'd watch
Speaker 1: people coming out and like, I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I can't get enough of this. I'm obsessed and obsessed.
Speaker 1: And then just like the Mitch Nation fans that they've
Speaker 1: just died. I just just remember thinking like, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: enough of that. I want to see two bloody hats
Speaker 1: getting it on now.
Speaker 2: And that's human nature. People lose interesting things. I remember
Speaker 2: I used to take it really personally. I'd be like, Oh,
Speaker 2: why does this person not like my YouTube channel anymore?
Speaker 2: I used to literally tweet me within a matter of
Speaker 2: seconds be like, oh my god, I love you, and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden they didn't give a shit anymore.
Speaker 2: But it's just it's normal to not be interested in
Speaker 2: things that you used to be. Like I could not
Speaker 2: give a fuck about Miranda things anymore. But I remember
Speaker 2: there was a period where I was I just cherished
Speaker 2: every word that came out of her mouth.
Speaker 3: Me too, Me too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you mean. But I guess it's
Speaker 1: like if you still have a connection, like I had
Speaker 1: an obsession with Jimmy Fallon, like and late night talk
Speaker 1: show hosts. I've seen them all in America, like live tapings.
Speaker 1: And I'm not at that level of obsession, but I
Speaker 1: still like check up on it, like I love it.
Speaker 2: You always have a soft spot for them, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but like I'm and now I still have
Speaker 1: a soft spot. But other things that I was what
Speaker 1: was I obsessed? I used to be obsessed obsessed with
Speaker 1: RC boats, like remote control boats. I don't know why,
Speaker 1: but I used to. Yeah. I used to live on
Speaker 1: the water and I used to always get RC boats
Speaker 1: for Christmas and we'd we'd drive them on the water.
Speaker 1: I remember one Christmas I got an RC boat and
Speaker 1: it I attached this is this is awful, especially considering
Speaker 1: first couple of episodes I had, you know, an investigation
Speaker 1: with Peter going on. But no, I was six, not
Speaker 1: making an animal carty joke. This is a point. And
Speaker 1: I attached a net to the back of the boat
Speaker 1: because I wanted to catch the baby ducklings that lived
Speaker 1: in the in the in the canal and it's not
Speaker 1: and then raise them anyway, I did it.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Also, my mom that we had pelican on the on
Speaker 1: the pontoon that used to live there. His name was Percy,
Speaker 1: the pelican Mom killed him because she made a weight
Speaker 1: watch's keish because we all went through a weight Watchers phase.
Speaker 1: The whole family had to do it because our net
Speaker 1: weight was very bad. We're all very fat, and we
Speaker 1: were like one of those fat families on Biggest Losers,
Speaker 1: you know when they go back for home visits and
Speaker 1: they go, this is my son and my husband and
Speaker 1: they're all fat, and you go, there's a deep rooted
Speaker 1: issue here. That was my family. And Mum made a
Speaker 1: weight watches keiche that was so goddamn dry a builder
Speaker 1: could used it as jip rock. I give it to Percy.
Speaker 1: We can't eat this. Give it to Percy. And they
Speaker 1: threw the whole kesh with one slice out of it
Speaker 1: in the water. Percy the pelican obviously just aided in
Speaker 1: one gulp and he choked, just floated on the water
Speaker 1: and died.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm so confused. How did this story
Speaker 2: come about?
Speaker 1: But I think we should end it on that note
Speaker 1: because I'm exhausted.
Speaker 2: That's the nature of add brief, isn't it. We go qually,
Speaker 2: we really.
Speaker 1: Do, can we go? Because I'm exhausted, I'm already in
Speaker 1: bed and I want to sleep, to be honest.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think if we end up doing the
Speaker 2: show from home again next week, don't do it from
Speaker 2: bed because that you'll start to trail off early.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna have to do it from my car.
Speaker 1: That might work. Actually, he's a good idea.
Speaker 2: Well, thanks for listening, guys. Another week of is it
Speaker 2: just me? It's a bit different this week.
Speaker 1: Hope you enjoyed it. It was a bit rough, but I
Speaker 1: actually think so dynamic. Yeah, well it was just a
Speaker 1: bit I actually don't think I was trying as hard,
Speaker 1: and I think it came across better.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, this is what I'm saying. This is
Speaker 2: what I've been saying from day one when I've been
Speaker 2: trying to knock that radio guy out of you. It's
Speaker 2: less of a performance when we're doing the podcast. Just
Speaker 2: relax and just chat, you know. I thought this was
Speaker 2: a wonderful add brief because there was no Oh Debbie's
Speaker 2: tweeted in el.
Speaker 1: Fuck what's that? Yeah? No, we're still doing it yet. Really,
Speaker 1: we've got it up and running, guys, so we can
Speaker 1: get started.
Speaker 2: No, I'm actually not on annual leave next week, so
Speaker 2: it's not illegal for me to leave my home for
Speaker 2: work purposes, So I if you guys are fine with it,
Speaker 2: we can be back in studio.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm still on air, so I'm around with Jenna.
Speaker 1: I'll pick you up. We'll go and we'll have lunch.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm talking about, so I'm rambling.
Speaker 1: We need to go where? Just think about where I
Speaker 1: was taking? Where was I just taking that? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I was just about to talk about having lunch with Jenna.
Speaker 1: I need to go to bed.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll be back in studio next week. Everyone please
