WEBVTT - MINI: Mitch's HUGE Show Announcement 

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Before we start the show today, we and I have

0:00:04.280 --> 0:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>some news that I really don't want to have to share,

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.560
<v Speaker 1>but we have some show news, yes.

0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 2>And really big changes to the show.

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So late last week I was informed by the

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:19.279
<v Speaker 1>powers at b at Arn, which is the parent company,

0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>that they have identified my roles and my position here

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>at the Pickup with you two as roles that won't

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 1>be returning in twenty twenty five. So I just want

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:37.240
<v Speaker 1>to say that it wasn't my decision, wasn't my call.

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I really wanted to stay on this show with the

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>two of you, and that I love working in radio

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>and I love working here. I have been told that it's,

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, a financial decision for

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:49.559
<v Speaker 1>the company.

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 2>Mitch. We also want to say, oh.

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>No, don't, don't know, no, don't because listen, the critics

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.400
<v Speaker 1>said that a gay man and two girls on radio

0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't work, and now we're hysterical it's not going to

0:00:59.520 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 1>be good.

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 3>Thing is we've done the pick Up together for two

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 3>years now, but we've co hosted together for three years,

0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 3>and this is not what we want for the show.

0:01:09.240 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 3>It's a decision that's been made that's out of our

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 3>control and you know, Britain and I we have to

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 3>continue on doing the show without Mitch and without you,

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 3>and when we are utterly devastated, we love what we

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.120
<v Speaker 3>love what we create together. We love what this show

0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 3>is and we still see us as a trio. And yeah,

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 3>when we got the news as well, we couldn't believe it.

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you are not only our co host, but you're

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 2>one of our best friends.

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>And we.

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.760
<v Speaker 4>The reason that this show has been such an amazing

0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 4>show is because we were not people that were put

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 4>together in a room and say do a show. We

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 4>were three best friends and we still are three best friends.

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 4>And I want you to know that you are by

0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 4>far the most talented, funniest, hard working person that I

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 4>have ever come across. And I am jealous at the

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 4>people to get to work quick. You next to break.

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I want, well, I want you to, but you know

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 1>our hand has been forced. Listen. I am so grateful,

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I genuinely am for what they have given me over

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the almost decade I've been here, almost a decade. You know,

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I started on the Kyle and Jackie Oh Show when

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I was nineteen and I was their burista. I made

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.359
<v Speaker 1>their coffees and let me tell you I was a

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>kid who dreamt to have a show like this, and

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>now I've had a show like this, and now I've

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>got way more time to dream of more dreams and

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 1>head on out and doing this show and connecting to

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the audience that are listening now and working with you

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>two and having every show at the radio station. I

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 1>cleaned the toilets in this building when I was twenty,

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 1>you know I started here. Yeah, actually go back to

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 1>hate char to discuss that.

0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 3>But Mitch, you are a brilliant broadcaster and this is

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 3>this is the biggest loss to this network.

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 2>You're not being here, It really is.

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I know. I listen in the press people are talking

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:03.920
<v Speaker 1>about it. I wanted to come out today and just

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>say that I am done. I'm finishing up, and this

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 1>is not going to be the last you hear of me.

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 1>You get me go follow me on Instagram right now.

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm a killer for a shameless plug.

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 4>You know.

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>I love it.

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:16.799
<v Speaker 2>Wait, we need to get the handle in there at.

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 1>Mitch Jury, give me a follow. But to you two,

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 1>to you Laura and Britt, you girls have such a

0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>brilliant skill of connecting to people and to embrace me

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>on this show. Like you have. We've done this for

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>three years has been a privilege. And being able to

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 1>come on here and laugh and have fun every day.

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm so lucky. I am. And although I don't get

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>to choose that my next chapter isn't with you. It's

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>not the end for us. It's not.

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:51.640
<v Speaker 2>There's one hundred sequel, I hope. So I'm about a sequel.

0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>And you know, to Grace, our executive producer, like one

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:56.839
<v Speaker 1>of my best friends in the whole world, I love

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 1>you more than anything. And now this is a sub session,

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>and I just want to end this and say to

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 1>the listeners who've listened to this show, because let's be real.

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 1>When you first heard me, I was a kid, I

0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>was in the closet. I didn't know who I was.

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I was pimply, I was terrified, and I was so

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.680
<v Speaker 1>happy to be on it, and all those things still

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 1>really are the same. Matter of the closet now is

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>really good. I have loved every moment of it. So

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm here to the end of the year. So it's

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.160
<v Speaker 1>all good. This isn't goodbye. This is just let's carry on.

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 2>We love you so much.

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 1>It's all good for us.

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't feel real and I think everyone can hear

0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 3>how upset we all are by this decision. It's just

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 3>so not what any of us want, and we just

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:39.799
<v Speaker 3>think it's it's a It is a huge.

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Loss for us.

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 3>The last thing is we will be your biggest cheerleaders

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.920
<v Speaker 3>no matter what you're doing forever like that. You are

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 3>going to absolutely smash it because you are the brilliant

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 3>broadcaster like Mitch Churry, you will there will be something

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:53.400

<v Speaker 1>Thanks. Girls.

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 4>I just want to add, I just want to add

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 4>that Laura and I were podcasting for years, but we

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 4>were brand new to radio. We were babies to radio

0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 4>and the person that took our hand was you from

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 4>day one, and you made us better at our job,

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 4>and you encouraged us and you told us that we could.

0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Do it when we were scared.

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 4>And we are who we are a big part of

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.480
<v Speaker 4>our identity here at radio because of who you are.
