Speaker 1: with COVID? Like I am really?
Speaker 3: Actually, Because the way you made it out to us
Speaker 3: when you were telling us I'm so sick, I thought
Speaker 3: you'd be on your fucking deathbed. I thought, right, I'm
Speaker 3: on my own. I'm going to have to get a
Speaker 3: fill in host or something. But like you're surprisingly looking okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you. Well, this is the this is the
Speaker 1: third time I've had COVID, and it's the end of
Speaker 1: my like seven day run with it. So I am
Speaker 1: feeling the best I've been. But I'm at home. I've
Speaker 1: got I've got some tales to tell about this. This
Speaker 1: my third run with Covid. Great name for a novel.
Speaker 1: Actually my third time with my third date with covid.
Speaker 1: That's what my gym's about this week.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, we'll save it for your ridgim.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm home. I'm home with bloody Covid. How
Speaker 1: are you you look? On the other hand, one Mitch
Speaker 1: is down and out, but you look You're glowing and
Speaker 1: you look snashed.
Speaker 3: It's the BBE cream dull, that's all. It is.
Speaker 1: What it is. They're paying it like Carrie Bickmore's the
Speaker 1: face of BB cream. You're the face of BB cream. Everyone?
Speaker 1: What is bb Who is Bee?
Speaker 3: I've got no idea what BB sands for? Actually, Jenna's
Speaker 3: not even here. I can't get it at Google that I'll
Speaker 3: have to do that myself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Price Keeper Jenna is not available. I've got COVID
Speaker 1: and I'm still here, but Price Cream nowhere to be found.
Speaker 3: I know she always seems to abandon us during our
Speaker 3: darkest moments when we might need to lean on someone
Speaker 3: for support. She wasn't here for your breakup announcement. Yes,
Speaker 3: she wasn't here when I was detailing my myriad of
Speaker 3: assaults and the.
Speaker 1: Five pultiple assaults.
Speaker 3: It's always been we're talking potentially personal and deep shit
Speaker 3: that she's never here as a loving friend, a loving
Speaker 3: shoulder to cry on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I hate to be that person, but she's
Speaker 1: gotten too comfortable with calling him sick, like I've been
Speaker 1: off sick from work this whole week and I've felt
Speaker 1: so guilty taking one, let alone five days off work.
Speaker 1: She doesn't give her shit. And she used to make
Speaker 1: up excuses as we know they'd be paragraphed my cat,
Speaker 1: my stupid cat. But now it's I've got pilates clashes
Speaker 1: with the podcast.
Speaker 3: I won't be now today. She's actually got a work
Speaker 3: commitment on, so I was like, that's fine, that's all good,
Speaker 3: although she better be back in time for the Wednesday episode,
Speaker 3: because hey, while we're talking of it coming up in
Speaker 3: our Wednesday episode, episode one seventy two, we got someone
Speaker 3: suggests in the Facebook group that Jenna our third Wheel,
Speaker 3: should start doing and is It Just Me of her
Speaker 3: own And before we even consider letting her do that
Speaker 3: on the Monday episode, which is, you know, the is
Speaker 3: It Just Me episode, she's going to have to order
Speaker 3: for us. So that'll happen on Wednesday or will who
Speaker 3: knows if she'll rock up.
Speaker 1: I've got real thoughts on this. I mean, listen, I
Speaker 1: just think it's you wouldn't You wouldn't get one of
Speaker 1: the contestants on Master Chef to get up and be
Speaker 1: a judge. That's all I'm saying. Okay, that's all. That's
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. You wouldn't get one of the biggest
Speaker 1: loser contestants to get up and host the show.
Speaker 3: And start training them and start training It's not what
Speaker 3: they're there for.
Speaker 1: And I'll happily be the Simon Cowell. I think we
Speaker 1: all have our role on this show.
Speaker 3: Is that how you our hierarchy? You see us as
Speaker 3: the host and Jenner as a contestant.
Speaker 1: Will she make it? Yeah? I shouldn't. I shouldn't have
Speaker 1: used three reality show examples. There's not exactly what I mean. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're at a doctor's surgery and and the receptionist goes, Hi,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna administer your blood test. I'd be like, with
Speaker 1: all due respect, Melanie, I don't want you to put
Speaker 1: an IV group in my arm. I want them to
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, that's probably a better analogy in the
Speaker 1: medical field, but I'm open to an audition. I'll happily
Speaker 1: have my mind change. So that's Wednesday show.
Speaker 3: By the way, I'm sure you're stinging for an answer.
Speaker 3: BE stands for blemish balm.
Speaker 1: What's oh BB cream?
Speaker 3: Yeah, BB cream, that's my covid brain. I'm like, what's
Speaker 3: going I've just gone back to that earlier topic.
Speaker 1: Yeah, blemish barb.
Speaker 3: I just put it on because it like evens my
Speaker 3: skin tones. And also it's got the SPS fifty in it,
Speaker 3: so it's the sunscreen or whatever. So that's why I
Speaker 3: wear it. And I'm not being paid a cent unlike
Speaker 3: carry Big Moore.
Speaker 1: Just so you know, she's always flogging that BB cream
Speaker 1: everywhere she.
Speaker 3: That's the one I use.
Speaker 1: Oh but you because I've noticed. I think I've made
Speaker 1: that carry a bit more joke to your face. I
Speaker 1: think it's so funny because she's always in all the ads.
Speaker 1: No funny story. I recently coming. I went to obviously
Speaker 1: two Ways Over. But the first show, the girls Brittain
Speaker 1: Laura had all their makeup done and I said, God,
Speaker 1: they look so good, and they're like, can I do you?
Speaker 1: So they did a bit of makeup on me, but
Speaker 1: like they couldn't color match anyway. I felt so inadequate
Speaker 1: because like, you, you know how to do your makeup
Speaker 1: if you want. I was like, really makeup, Yeah, but
Speaker 1: when you have done, and I've seen you in makeup,
Speaker 1: it looks flawless.
Speaker 3: Thank because I'm really paranoid because to me, as someone
Speaker 3: who's clueless about makeup, I think I've done a great job.
Speaker 3: But then I worry that someone who is an expert
Speaker 3: at makeup will look at my face and go, he
Speaker 3: fucked it. He absolutely fucked that.
Speaker 1: That's a worry that I have also. But no, I
Speaker 1: have thought about your makeup many a time, and it's
Speaker 1: always flaws. Yeah, and it's gotten better.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you. I always aim for the i'm not
Speaker 3: wearing makeup makeup look, and I think, on nahilis yea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh my god. Well that's what I wanted. So
Speaker 1: I went to Mecca and I sat in the in
Speaker 1: the little chair and a beauty therapist like or a
Speaker 1: makeup artist whatever they're called, you know how like it's Subway.
Speaker 1: They've got Sandwich artists in Mecca. They're like beauty officionados
Speaker 1: or yeah, and they color matched me. And she's like,
Speaker 1: do you want Nas. Do you want Anastasia Beverly Hills?
Speaker 1: Do you want Charlotte Tillbury? And they color match me.
Speaker 1: Now I've got a concealer. Now I've got a setting spray,
Speaker 1: a blush, and I have all the makeup that's color
Speaker 1: matched to me and I can use it like a pro.
Speaker 3: Why was your color so tricky to match? You're white?
Speaker 1: No, no, let me tell you, Mitchell. If anyone wants
Speaker 1: to know, google Nas Tira Massoux. That is my that's
Speaker 1: my classes. Of course, it's fucking food. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm so happy with being Nas. Tira Massus.
Speaker 3: Have you got some fucking strawberry Lamington lip gloss to
Speaker 3: go with it? Howda spelled Tira Massoux. I'm trying to
Speaker 3: google this.
Speaker 1: T Ira Massu Messou was the bit that I.
Speaker 3: Was struggling with. That's so unhelpful, m A s U.
Speaker 3: It just brings up Tira Massou.
Speaker 1: No, well, anyway, I'm Tira Masou and it goes under
Speaker 1: my eyes and I feel so hot and flawless. So
Speaker 1: that's my little makeup story for the week.
Speaker 3: You need to stop gatekeeping all of your skin care remedies.
Speaker 3: I've asked you so many times. What the fuck's retinal?
Speaker 3: Because you mentioned it all the time, don't even know
Speaker 3: what it is? And I need to do something about
Speaker 3: me under eyebags.
Speaker 1: Okay, you need to check yourself here, because I'm going
Speaker 1: to call you out. I sent you a video. Oh,
Speaker 1: I've sent you. I'm going to get it up. Now
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play it. Ready, this is a video I
Speaker 1: sent Mitchell three weeks ago. Ready, I showed you. I
Speaker 1: promise you I'll show you it.
Speaker 4: I never did, but now I'm remembering.
Speaker 1: This is the retinal that I use. There you go,
Speaker 1: I sent you a video. Down hang on, Mitchell, hang
Speaker 1: on out. Your reply too confusing?
Speaker 3: Well, I stand by that, but also, at what point
Speaker 3: did you explain what retinol is? You just said this
Speaker 3: is my retinal. I'm like, no, that wasn't my question.
Speaker 1: Well, it's not my job to explain what these things do.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you what I use.
Speaker 3: What I wanted to know.
Speaker 1: What are you using for Mitchell? I don't know. I'll
Speaker 1: just put it on.
Speaker 3: Why did you get onto it in the first place
Speaker 3: if you don't even know what the fuck it is?
Speaker 1: My sister TikTok the girl Mecca, the Beauty of Fishonado's.
Speaker 3: I'd see No. To be fair, I did watch that
Speaker 3: video and I wrote down all of your recommendations because
Speaker 3: and like found links to them, so that next time
Speaker 3: I run out, I can buy the shit you recommended.
Speaker 3: But I don't know what retinol is. I'm not going
Speaker 3: to go pissing away money if I don't even know
Speaker 3: what it does.
Speaker 1: God, I'll google. Wait there what I will say?
Speaker 3: Even though my under eye bags and my biggest insecurity.
Speaker 3: I saw a baby photo of me when I was
Speaker 3: back home in bog Gate, and even at not even
Speaker 3: one year old, I had eyebags. I was like, Okay,
Speaker 3: maybe it's genetic because I was thinking, oh, I'm so
Speaker 3: slack with this skincare. Look at the state of my bags.
Speaker 3: But I've had them since birth. I've just been perpetually
Speaker 3: tied my whole life.
Speaker 1: Mitchell, you don't even have eyebags. You need to relax.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got a conceala on them today. That's why
Speaker 3: it doesn't look like it.
Speaker 1: Here we go. What is retinol. It minimizes final lines
Speaker 1: and wrinkles by plumping the skin, clears clogged paws, brightens
Speaker 1: the complexion treats acne, refined skin texture, fades sun spots,
Speaker 1: and improve skin elasticity. Okay, how can one thing do
Speaker 1: so much?
Speaker 3: But I thought that serum did all that shit. See
Speaker 3: it's confusing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I've got so much shit. I got
Speaker 1: a hyaluronic acid, I've got a nicosimmerdyde, I've got a retinol.
Speaker 3: Are you making this shit up? Or they?
Speaker 1: Are?
Speaker 3: They legit products?
Speaker 1: They're legit products.
Speaker 3: Wow, they're real.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're real. Are my skincare routine? I think there's
Speaker 1: like a eight part daily skincare routine, four cereums in
Speaker 1: the morning for at night.
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe this is a discussion for off the cloud.
Speaker 3: But if you could condense that and tell me which
Speaker 3: one out of the eight can afford to be sacrificed,
Speaker 3: because that can't be fucking around with eight steps. I'll
Speaker 3: lose interest, especially when you have to wait for them
Speaker 3: all to dry.
Speaker 1: True. No, well that's why I turn the blow dryer on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: drizy serums. I'm not joking. I stand there buck naked
Speaker 1: with my blow dryer blowing me, so to speak.
Speaker 3: I haven't actually tried that hack yet, but I do
Speaker 3: remember you mentioning that, and I was like amazing, because
Speaker 3: I try and time my routine around letting certain things dry.
Speaker 3: Like I'll put the serum on and then I'll do
Speaker 3: my hair, brush my teeth and then hope to fuck
Speaker 3: that in the time it's taken me to kill time
Speaker 3: it's dry, and then the moisturizer.
Speaker 1: I'm the same. I'll get out of the shower, one
Speaker 1: serum on or under the bathroom, put my pajamas on,
Speaker 1: and in my brain I go, well, in that time
Speaker 1: that it's drying, I'm putting my pajamas on. I'm being
Speaker 1: productive exactly.
Speaker 3: Work smart, not hard mate, totally.
Speaker 1: Also, you haven't noticed, Mitchell. Yeah, I'm doing November.
Speaker 3: Oh you are too?
Speaker 1: Do you like it?
Speaker 3: I don't dislike it, but I hadn't noticed it because
Speaker 3: your face is behind the mike. Are you really going
Speaker 3: to commit to that for the whole in November.
Speaker 1: I'm doing it for the whole month.
Speaker 3: I would have expected it to be a bit longer
Speaker 3: by now. I actually, no, it is still early, isn't it?
Speaker 1: Nine days?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: This is this is a this is a week long.
Speaker 1: It was actually a COVID thing. I didn't start. I
Speaker 1: actually haven't even created a web page. I'm not doing
Speaker 1: it officially, I'm just like growing it for the month. Actually,
Speaker 1: maybe I shouldn't say I'm doing November and not raise
Speaker 1: any money. Maybe I should make a web page.
Speaker 3: That's like me saying I'm going to be brave and shave,
Speaker 3: and people go good on you. Where can I donate?
Speaker 3: And I'm like, no, I just meant personally, I'm going
Speaker 3: to be brave. I'm not raising money for cancer or anything.
Speaker 1: That's actually a really good point. I didn't think that through.
Speaker 1: I'm here to say I'm not doing November.
Speaker 3: Now you've done yourself as whole. Is that really the
Speaker 3: only part of your facial hair that grows? Just that part?
Speaker 1: No, I'm shaving my bier.
Speaker 3: Oh right, I thought you said it was a COVID thing.
Speaker 1: No, No, it was so about two days ago. I'm like,
Speaker 1: my facial has out of control. I want to see
Speaker 1: what I look like with a mustache. So I kept
Speaker 1: the mustache and then and then I'm like, oh, it's November.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll just do it for fun. But you're right,
Speaker 1: I can't say that I'm doing it and then not actually.
Speaker 3: No, cause then you've got to stick with it. Until
Speaker 3: the end of November it is. Anyway, how many November
Speaker 3: puns are you going to try and commit to. We've
Speaker 3: got Mugvember our mugs on sale November.
Speaker 1: Yeah, November sounds better than Mugvember.
Speaker 3: Hey, we've been over this. There's no other month that
Speaker 3: works better for mugs.
Speaker 1: We've tried. We've tried Muffvember. It'd be good if we
Speaker 1: were selling you know, clip piercings, but unfortunately the manufacturer
Speaker 1: couldn't get them done in time. Yeah.
Speaker 3: By the way, can I just say on that note,
Speaker 3: the mugs are selling like hotcakes. We've already sold out
Speaker 3: the first batch in the first week. But that's fine.
Speaker 3: They're not done at us so we can order more.
Speaker 3: So yeah, keep the mug orders coming. They're only open
Speaker 3: until the end of November, so make sure you get
Speaker 3: your your tea, ear a mug ordered before it's too late.
Speaker 1: I know. Well, let's start the show. If it's your
Speaker 1: first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me? Every
Speaker 1: week we start the show with an is it just me?
Speaker 1: Mitch doesn't know mine, I don't know Mitch's.
Speaker 3: And it's something we notice, hate or appreciate. Correct that
Speaker 3: COVID FOG's plain up, isn't it?
Speaker 1: It really is? And with my normal brain fog plus
Speaker 1: COVID brain fog, my brain is just blue mountain coming fog.
Speaker 3: I will say that my agent today is about something
Speaker 3: my parents are pressuring me to do, and like any
Speaker 3: time they try to get me to do anything, I'm
Speaker 3: fucking pushing back.
Speaker 1: Baby, good, good, Okay, I'm ready for my agent. Should
Speaker 1: I jump?
Speaker 3: All right, let's go?
Speaker 1: Is it just me? Is getting COVID in twenty twenty three?
Speaker 1: Essentially twenty twenty four more embarrassing than it is worrying?
Speaker 3: Kind of My response when you told me that you
Speaker 3: have COVID was fuck, what year is it? And also
Speaker 3: it was a bit triggering because I was like, I
Speaker 3: forgot that that was a problem that people can still have.
Speaker 1: Yes, I have it. And the first time I got
Speaker 1: COVID was I documented it heavily on here. My partner
Speaker 1: at the time was allergic essentially died on Christmas Day,
Speaker 1: like actually coded. We had to call an ambulance, had
Speaker 1: to like resuscitate him, bringing him back to life, take
Speaker 1: him to hospital. On Christmas Day. I then tested positive.
Speaker 1: I then thought I was going to die.
Speaker 3: And at the time that was the scariest thing because
Speaker 3: it was like someone we know has COVID. Oh my god,
Speaker 3: that's so dramatic. But now I'm just like, pah, you'll
Speaker 3: be right.
Speaker 1: There was an article, remember it was like but loved
Speaker 1: radio presenter, oh Be's talker jury test positive for COVID,
Speaker 1: And it was a whole thing. And then now I've
Speaker 1: had it once, I've had it twice. This is my
Speaker 1: third time, and it's probably a good thing that it's
Speaker 1: becoming part of our life and thank God for the vaccines,
Speaker 1: et cetera. But I am not as anxious about it.
Speaker 1: I'm more embarrassed to the point where like I had
Speaker 1: hooked up with someone the day before the day really
Speaker 1: I tested that night because I thought, I'm sniff lely,
Speaker 1: I should probably test, and I hooked up with someone.
Speaker 3: Wait wait, wait when did you when do you reckon?
Speaker 3: You got COVID?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 1: I got it. On tour the final show was in
Speaker 1: Brisbane and Laura, my co host, and when that that
Speaker 1: was Wednesday night, she tested positive, her husband tested positive,
Speaker 1: our friend and producer Keisha tested positive. Like everyone on
Speaker 1: the tour fell on Thursday. I didn't test because I
Speaker 1: didn't feel sick. I came in.
Speaker 3: But wait, Diday, Thursday last week when we recorded the podcast,
Speaker 3: Remember you kept coughing off Mike and you were complaining
Speaker 3: about a scratchy throat, and I tried to find some
Speaker 3: strepsils for you, but i'd run out.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I completely forgot it, and I thought
Speaker 1: the cough was muted.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but your cough was just that fucking bellowing that
Speaker 3: even with the mic off, we all heard it.
Speaker 1: Well, it was COVID, But how did.
Speaker 3: I not catch it from you? Especially because we made.
Speaker 1: Out after the show. You're exactly right. Well, that's also
Speaker 1: my point. Yeah, hooked up with someone on the Friday
Speaker 1: and it was fine, and they still don't have it.
Speaker 1: They've tested every day and it's been a week since.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're recording on Thursday again. It's no one
Speaker 1: is getting it around me. But wow, that's interesting.
Speaker 3: You're just not contagious.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what I found funny? Do you remember
Speaker 1: the feeling and anyone who went through that COVID panic
Speaker 1: like we're talking about in like the twenty twenties and
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, where you'd get a rat test and
Speaker 1: they'd go you put it up your nose, you put
Speaker 1: it in your throat, you drop it into the little
Speaker 1: droplet thing, and then you'd wait fifteen minutes and you'd
Speaker 1: be looking at that thing and the line would start
Speaker 1: to emerge at about the ten minute mark, and then
Speaker 1: it would be thick and black.
Speaker 3: Honestly, the two times I've had COVID, I didn't even
Speaker 3: have to wait ten minutes. It was almost instant the
Speaker 3: line appeared.
Speaker 1: That's my point. I almost I so much has touched
Speaker 1: the rat test. I looked at it and I was like,
Speaker 1: blackfit two lines. I'm like, oh my god, I am COVID.
Speaker 1: COVID is in my DNA, It's running through my body.
Speaker 3: Remember in the early days of COVID, it was like, oh,
Speaker 3: someone sippled it could be COVID. These days, to me,
Speaker 3: it's so obvious if I've got COVID or not. Do
Speaker 3: you remember how earlier this year I had to cancel
Speaker 3: or postpone I should say I had to postpone my
Speaker 3: Melbourne International Comedy Festival show because I got COVID. Yeah,
Speaker 3: those shows were going to be on the weekend. I
Speaker 3: woke up on a Wednesday at like three a m.
Speaker 3: And I just thought to myself, Nah, I've got COVID,
Speaker 3: and then I just went back to sleep, like I
Speaker 3: just recognized it because it's such a unique sickness. I
Speaker 3: knew it was COVID. And then of course when I
Speaker 3: woke up, I felt like dog shit and I was like,
Speaker 3: I probably don't even need to test, but just as
Speaker 3: a mere formality, I'll get a friend to drop a
Speaker 3: test off. But I know it's COVID.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The body aches and they're like moving my eyes
Speaker 1: was I was sore, moving my eyes and it's like
Speaker 1: this general like, oh my god, I'm so sore. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the sore throat was the worst. Anyway, it's not well,
Speaker 1: he's me. I'm very lucky that I'm on the other side.
Speaker 1: And it's just such a weird experience to go something
Speaker 1: that we were also terrified two years ago. Now I'm
Speaker 1: just living in my house. It's absolutely bizarre.
Speaker 3: Soh Yeah, like I said earlier this year, when I went, ah,
Speaker 3: I think I've got I just went back to sleep.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, it's fine, seriously, yeah, And I'm like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: go on another hookup. Why not? May as well? You know,
Speaker 1: so you've done.
Speaker 3: Another test because I didn't admit this at the time
Speaker 3: because I had to postpone shows and people were pissed
Speaker 3: off at me. But I tested that weekend and by
Speaker 3: Saturday I was testing negative. So I only had it Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Speaker 3: and so I technically could have done my Melbourne shows,
Speaker 3: but by that point we'd already postponed it. And so
Speaker 3: I went out on Saturday and someone saw me out
Speaker 3: the night and goes, I'm just supposed to be home
Speaker 3: with COVID because you can't do your shows, and I
Speaker 3: was like, don't fucking tell anyone in Melbourne. But I'm fine.
Speaker 3: Now to technicality.
Speaker 1: Now I get this. I tested positive on Friday and
Speaker 1: it's Thursday today and I'm still testing positive.
Speaker 3: Oh so you are still testing positive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm still symptomatic. So that's why I've had
Speaker 1: to I've haven't done any radio shows all week because
Speaker 1: COVID policy.
Speaker 3: Oh so this is the only broadcast thing you've done
Speaker 3: all week.
Speaker 1: This is the only time my voice has been shared
Speaker 1: to the Australian people this week. You're welcome. Everyone has
Speaker 1: woken up going. We need Mitchell curious thoughts on hot topics.
Speaker 1: Where is he.
Speaker 3: Much that you still wanted to do the podcast because
Speaker 3: I said to you, I'm guessing you won't be doing
Speaker 3: the show, and you said, of course, Sam, Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, I wouldn't have missed out, No way, no way.
Speaker 1: Too many fill in shows this year. I'm dedicated to
Speaker 1: what's the name of the show again?
Speaker 3: This is the pickup I know it's called is it
Speaker 3: just Me? Thanks to Chemi's warehouse.
Speaker 1: Because it's just me?
Speaker 3: You can follow the show online. Just search a couple
Speaker 3: of mitches. If you don't, you're a dighead.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 3: Coming up in our next episode, episode one seventy two,
Speaker 3: Like I said, we're going to be auditioning Jens is
Speaker 3: it just me? To see if she has what it
Speaker 3: takes to do it? On the Monday episode. But also
Speaker 3: coming up, one of our most beloved fast food outlets
Speaker 3: has made a big change. Oh god, you're frozen, Mitchell.
Speaker 1: Oh I've lost him?
Speaker 3: Oh here we go. The internet is the whole time?
Speaker 3: You just froze on me as I was talking?
Speaker 1: Was I frozen in a hot position? I've been trying
Speaker 1: to pose the whole time in case this happened.
Speaker 3: Your eyes were sort of glazed over. I thought he's
Speaker 3: just lost interest in our Wednesday episode if he doesn't
Speaker 3: give a fuck wife to anyone else?
Speaker 1: How is my internet? Sorry? Can you see me? You
Speaker 1: can hear me?
Speaker 3: Yes, I can hear you. I can also hear the
Speaker 3: fucking birds outside? What's going on?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: Can you hear that?
Speaker 3: I'm in a soundproof studio? Mate, it can't be on
Speaker 3: this end.
Speaker 1: That's true. No, there's yeah. Well, I'm my I'm at
Speaker 1: my house with my parents. They're living like the near
Speaker 1: the beach. So there's just sea eagles flying outside the window.
Speaker 3: I can't believe that they're that loud that you can
Speaker 3: hear it on your microphone, because that thing is noise canceling.
Speaker 1: It is noise canceling. Also, all the doors are shut,
Speaker 1: so I can see the birds as they're frolicking in
Speaker 1: the pool.
Speaker 3: Go shoot them? Please?
Speaker 1: Sorry? Hey rack Off, thanks eager, No worries. Sorry Wednesday episode.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will say one dropout. That's pretty good. Do
Speaker 3: you remember when I was working from home in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one for like three or four months. Yeah, that
Speaker 3: was a bit of a fucking nightmare. You wouldn't know
Speaker 3: listening because I edited out whenever the internet dropped out.
Speaker 3: But oh my god, it was such a pain.
Speaker 1: Seriously, like, those days were horrendous and we tried, we
Speaker 1: made them work, but they were hard.
Speaker 3: There is zero delay between us right now, Ready you finish.
Speaker 3: I'll count to five and you finish it. Ready, one, two, three,
Speaker 3: finish where you just keep counting. I thought there was
Speaker 3: a really.
Speaker 1: Bad lag, and I thought you meant you were going
Speaker 1: to get to five. Sorry, no, this is how you
Speaker 1: test the.
Speaker 3: Delay between people. I'll count to five, but as in
Speaker 3: I'll get to three and you take over. Okay, Sorry
Speaker 3: I didn't get you know, I probably explained it like
Speaker 3: a cockad. My apologies.
Speaker 1: All right, ready, one, two, three, four five.
Speaker 3: That's stunning.
Speaker 1: It's like we're in the same room with each other.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: It's beautiful, except I can't smell your bo Best of
Speaker 3: both world, Dalin.
Speaker 1: I hope this can nit the allegations in the bud
Speaker 1: for the final time that we do actually get along.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course.
Speaker 1: Yeah. You know there are some radio shows in this
Speaker 1: country where the hosts despise each other and they still
Speaker 1: have to record with each other every day and they
Speaker 1: fake it.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. It's always celebrated as some miracle. When people
Speaker 3: say and your radio show, you guys as a duo,
Speaker 3: you genuinely get along, don't you. It's like, yeah, you'd
Speaker 3: fucking hope, so.
Speaker 1: You'd fucking want to. And all the time you spend together,
Speaker 1: we see each other more than we see you know,
Speaker 1: family members.
Speaker 3: Yeah, titally. Anyway, as I was saying, our next episode
Speaker 3: one two, pardon.
Speaker 1: Me, oh, this episode is I've got fucking birds chirping
Speaker 1: you're farting chart.
Speaker 3: I just had a sit of sparkling water.
Speaker 1: Imagine if I insinuated it was a fart, you didn't
Speaker 1: call it out, and everyone just thought you farted the microphone.
Speaker 3: Do you know what Wednesday's episode? Forget about it?
Speaker 1: So many times something all happened. No, No, I agree
Speaker 1: with you. There is a massive change coming to one
Speaker 1: of the country's most beloved fast food restaurants.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's not good, and this change will divide us
Speaker 3: as a team, I believe.
Speaker 1: Well, there's been division in this podcast before, and we've
Speaker 1: gotten through and we will continue to persevere't this won't
Speaker 1: stop us.
Speaker 3: I think I'm going to have a very different opinion
Speaker 3: on this major fast food change. Then everyone would expect
Speaker 3: me to what did that?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, all right, well that's coming up on
Speaker 1: Wednesday's episode. Why don't you do your region?
Speaker 3: Yep, I'm ready, let's go kim me and please, Bradley,
Speaker 3: is it just me? Do you have no desire to
Speaker 3: own property? Because it sounds too fucking stressful?
Speaker 1: Oh god, you've reaped my mind. Well you know this
Speaker 1: is your regin. But you know where I'm at. I'm
Speaker 1: at home with my parents, and the plan was six
Speaker 1: months at home and then I'm going to start looking
Speaker 1: at maybe buying or renting. And I've started that process
Speaker 1: and I've stopped it very quickly because really, mind fuck.
Speaker 3: I do recall you telling me that I had permission
Speaker 3: to start nagging you if you hadn't moved out of
Speaker 3: your parents' place by October November. But for once a
Speaker 3: goddamn life, I've read the room. I don't think you're
Speaker 3: in the headspace to be nagged right now, says take
Speaker 3: your time.
Speaker 1: Keep reading that room and move on. Yes, you're right.
Speaker 1: Well are you looking at buying a house?
Speaker 3: Well no, not at all. It is so far from
Speaker 3: being on my radar, right, And so what's happened is
Speaker 3: my bloody little brother has just bought his own place
Speaker 3: with his girlfriend in newcas Baby.
Speaker 5: Mark.
Speaker 3: Yes, Mark is now a property fucking owner. And the
Speaker 3: thing with that is that obviously my sister already was.
Speaker 3: Her and her husband have owned their place for years,
Speaker 3: and it was similar to when Nicole was the only
Speaker 3: married one. Mark and I, my brother and I were
Speaker 3: both single, and so she was the odd one out.
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden when Mark got a girlfriend,
Speaker 3: I was like, fuck, I'm the token single. But now
Speaker 3: that he's just bought a place, I'm the token renter.
Speaker 3: And you bet your ass that mum and dad are
Speaker 3: putting the pressure on for me to buy a place. Now.
Speaker 1: Oh I get you, But first of all, fucking plumbing must.
Speaker 3: Be bringing in the bag carpentry.
Speaker 1: Carpentry. So well, he did your parents' bathroom, didn't he?
Speaker 3: Yeah he built it. He didn't be the plumbing for it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, shows shows what I know. Good on him. Okay,
Speaker 1: So when you went back to the farm for the
Speaker 1: boging gate shows, what did your parents did? They sit
Speaker 1: you down and go mate, it's time.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like an intervention, but Mark made the call.
Speaker 3: We knew that he was looking to buy a property,
Speaker 3: and he made the call back home to say we
Speaker 3: got it. It's all locked in, it's happening, and Mum
Speaker 3: was like, oh, I'm so happy for your mate. And
Speaker 3: then as soon as Mum got off the phone, do
Speaker 3: you want to know what she said to me? What
Speaker 3: she said, maybe when you and Sean decide to get
Speaker 3: your act together, you can buy a place and live
Speaker 3: with each other. Excuse me, get our act together and
Speaker 3: buy a place. I was like, well, the only way
Speaker 3: that's going to happen is if you die, which can
Speaker 3: absolutely be arranged. If you take that tone with me again, Jane,
Speaker 3: you watch.
Speaker 1: True Wow the shade.
Speaker 3: I know we don't even live together. Don't you rent
Speaker 3: first and then buy a place. Isn't that how it works?
Speaker 3: Mark and his girlfriend lived together for two years before
Speaker 3: they bought a place.
Speaker 1: Definitely, I mean, you know he's still fucking a squish
Speaker 1: mellow every night. You've got to make sure you've got
Speaker 1: priorities to work out. Now, in my head, you need
Speaker 1: to live together first, because, trust me, living together is
Speaker 1: very different to dating someone exactly, very different.
Speaker 3: By the way, side, note you mentioned squish mellows. You
Speaker 3: know what Sean said to me when I was staying
Speaker 3: at home in bogen Gate and he was back in Sydney.
Speaker 3: He said to me, Oh, I miss you. I don't
Speaker 3: have you or your squish mellow.
Speaker 1: Where was the squish mellow at my place?
Speaker 3: But I was in boging Gate.
Speaker 1: Oh he was, and he was at his place. Oh God,
Speaker 1: did you slap him across the face.
Speaker 3: He knows that I'm jealous of that stupid thing, so
Speaker 3: he said. That just pissed me off. But no, I
Speaker 3: agree with you. Getting back to the point, what if
Speaker 3: we don't survive living together in a rental. We can't
Speaker 3: be buying a place and then moving into it, can we?
Speaker 3: Surelye Mitchell and speak. I speak as someone who has
Speaker 3: done it.
Speaker 1: I lived with a partner for three years and I
Speaker 1: thought marriage was going to happen. I thought, yeah, the
Speaker 1: house was going to happen, and it all fell to pieces.
Speaker 1: Do not buy something with your partner until you've it's
Speaker 1: been tried and tested. Please, oh please.
Speaker 3: I don't plan to. But that's not even my biggest concern.
Speaker 3: It's not even about buying a place with Sean. It's
Speaker 3: just buying a place in fucking general. It just sounds
Speaker 3: like a lot of effort because mom and dad was saying,
Speaker 3: come on, mate, you could look for an apartment in
Speaker 3: your complex. You could just stay where you're living, blah
Speaker 3: blah blah. And this is They've been nagging long before
Speaker 3: Mark bought a place, but now that he has it,
Speaker 3: there's even more pressure on me.
Speaker 1: They've upped it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they said, we know it's solicitor that can
Speaker 3: help you with all the legal stuff. I said, what
Speaker 3: the fuck solicitor? Why there's solicitors involved with buying a place?
Speaker 3: So you just need a real estate agent and Heed
Speaker 3: some money. Isn't that outworks?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, can I tell you every person, every
Speaker 1: man and their dog has a solicit friend. I went
Speaker 1: to brunch with another friend of my age and she's like, listen,
Speaker 1: if you thought about getting into the market, I've got
Speaker 1: a great mortgage buyer. I'm like, I don't have a
Speaker 1: great mortgage buyer. How do you all know these people?
Speaker 3: I don't even know what.
Speaker 1: That shit is.
Speaker 3: I've got no idea. Why is there a solicitor involved? Already?
Speaker 5: For me?
Speaker 3: Too many cooks in the kitchen, and fucking frankly, I
Speaker 3: don't feel like cooking. I'm a reporter. Seriously, once you
Speaker 3: start throwing in the technical jargon around property, like fucking
Speaker 3: rates and stamp duty, fucking strata, all that stuff, it's
Speaker 3: just too much. It just sounds like a lot of
Speaker 3: admin mortgages, a lot of stress. I just can't be
Speaker 3: bothered dealing with it. I'm happy being a renter.
Speaker 1: I agree. Then they go, oh, the RBA have raised
Speaker 1: interest rates. My interest rates couldn't be fucking lower. In
Speaker 1: the topic, I've got no interest.
Speaker 3: I'm quite comfy with interest rates not affecting me one
Speaker 3: bit at the moment.
Speaker 2: So me too.
Speaker 3: You know that a friend of mine, she works full
Speaker 3: time and she owns her apartment, she had to take
Speaker 3: on extra freelance work on top of her full time
Speaker 3: job because of the interest rates. And I was like,
Speaker 3: I'm just quite happy with that shit not.
Speaker 1: Affecting me at the moment, totally, totally. I don't know
Speaker 1: if we're ever going to be able to do it.
Speaker 1: It's so fucking expected.
Speaker 3: Mum and Dad. I don't know if it's because in
Speaker 3: their generation, when they were my age, it was piece
Speaker 3: of piss minor place. I don't think they understand that
Speaker 3: it's easier said than done.
Speaker 1: It's so unfair, Like our parents sold a fucking potato
Speaker 1: and did a gig on the street and bought a
Speaker 1: house and now it's worth millions plus. It's very hard.
Speaker 1: The standard isn't the same.
Speaker 3: But also I don't want to buy an apartment because
Speaker 3: a friend of mine owns not even an apartment. It's
Speaker 3: like a villa, you know, it's its own standalone place,
Speaker 3: but it's in a sort of complex. And they are
Speaker 3: still even though they own their place, they are still
Speaker 3: beholden to fucking Strata. They got in trouble from Strata
Speaker 3: for putting Christmas lights and decorations and shit on their
Speaker 3: own house. They fucking own it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Strata is next level. You pay per quarter. There's
Speaker 1: four quarters in a year. I mean everyone knows that,
Speaker 1: but it's but do you know what strata is like
Speaker 1: the Strata fees are Nah, it's very confusing, though. Strata
Speaker 1: is like Strata's like you pay and then that then
Speaker 1: goes to say, for example, the lift breaks or they
Speaker 1: need to repaint the building on the outside, everyone's already
Speaker 1: paid for it because you're paying Strata.
Speaker 3: Then don't Strata only really take care of My grandmother
Speaker 3: was telling me that if she has some sort of
Speaker 3: damage to the outside of her house. Strata will step in,
Speaker 3: but on the inside they're like, you're on your own.
Speaker 1: Bitch, Yes, that's true. Well what's the point. I know,
Speaker 1: I don't get it. It's all true. I don't go outside.
Speaker 1: I know. I'm bitch. That's why I'm happy with mum
Speaker 1: and Dad. They're the only people I've got to deal with.
Speaker 1: Fantastic how I don't.
Speaker 3: Think you should rush into buying a place, but surely
Speaker 3: you can get a rental. You need to experience living
Speaker 3: on your own a single man. That's a different batchelor path.
Speaker 3: How fun will that be?
Speaker 1: Do you think it'd be fun?
Speaker 3: Actually I haven't had the living alone, being single experience either,
Speaker 3: because I've only just moved out into own place. Well
Speaker 3: it was actually a year ago, but I was with
Speaker 3: Sean already.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you haven't.
Speaker 3: If you're listening, you're dumped.
Speaker 1: I am excited for a single bachelor era. But also
Speaker 1: I'm dating people, and the whole point of dating others
Speaker 1: is to get into a relationship. So I need to
Speaker 1: stop dating because, like there's been multiple conversations with people
Speaker 1: where I've had to go we could either be something
Speaker 1: or we have to end it. I don't like it. So, like,
Speaker 1: what's the point of dating if you're not gonna end
Speaker 1: up with someone?
Speaker 3: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: It's counterintuitive.
Speaker 3: I think you know the answer to that question. What's
Speaker 3: the point of dating if not to end up in
Speaker 3: a relationship?
Speaker 1: To fuck?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 1: To fuck?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Right, you're right, good point, good point. I gotta write
Speaker 1: that one down. Actually, that's a good point.
Speaker 3: Anyway. I'm glad we're on the same page about buying
Speaker 3: property to sounding too overwhelming, although maybe I'm doing that
Speaker 3: thing I often do where I kind of it's more
Speaker 3: overwhelming in my head than it actually is in practice,
Speaker 3: because that's what deters me, apart from the fact that
Speaker 3: I can't fucking afford it. I'm just like, eh, yeah,
Speaker 3: too hard. And so I put in our Facebook group
Speaker 3: asking if we have any real estate idiots, and we
Speaker 3: had Simmron give me her number. So I told her
Speaker 3: I'm going to call, but I didn't tell what I'm
Speaker 3: calling about. Really, I just kind of need to figure
Speaker 3: out how tricky is the process of buying a place.
Speaker 3: Is it a straightforward as me just calling her and saying, Hey,
Speaker 3: I want a property, give it yeah, account over the phone, totally.
Speaker 1: I think buying a house should be as easy as
Speaker 1: buying a pizza. So let's see how the process and
Speaker 1: process is.
Speaker 3: Let's give simmering Hello Simrin speaking Hi Simron, how are
Speaker 3: you good? Thank you?
Speaker 4: How are you?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Good? Listen. I was wanting to buy a property. Thank you.
Speaker 4: Okay, do you have a property in mind?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: No, just looking at any property?
Speaker 3: Yes, I just like one.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 4: I can't just give you one, but I can let
Speaker 4: you know the process of buying one.
Speaker 3: Do I want to know, Simron? I think you do.
Speaker 4: If you are looking at buying a property. I think
Speaker 4: it's always good to know what you're.
Speaker 1: What you're up again?
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, So let's just say, for instance sake,
Speaker 3: it was that straightforward. I call the real estate and say,
Speaker 3: give me a property. What's the next step?
Speaker 4: Okay? So the next step is usually they'd ask you
Speaker 4: what your offer is. They'll give you a price guide,
Speaker 4: so let's say it is one million to one point
Speaker 4: one million, and then you'll give your offering. Usually we
Speaker 4: need it in writing and we present it to the owner.
Speaker 4: Once your owner has approved it, we'll send you an
Speaker 4: email letting you know congratulating you. Then we'd require some
Speaker 4: ADMIN from you.
Speaker 3: So that was that wasn't enough admin?
Speaker 4: No, that was not Then we need your ID, driver's license.
Speaker 4: You'd have to contact your solicitor and get them to
Speaker 4: review a contract, and then from there, your solicitor will
Speaker 4: let you know how you know whether or not to
Speaker 4: go ahead if there's any problems that you need to
Speaker 4: be aware of.
Speaker 3: What sort of problem would the solicitor be like, no,
Speaker 3: don't go ahead.
Speaker 4: So a lot of new apartments, if they're not built
Speaker 4: correctly or if they have issues with the builder at
Speaker 4: the moment, a lot of new buyers would be left
Speaker 4: with the expenses. That's something we're facing, you know, we
Speaker 4: have a lot of that at the moment. But if
Speaker 4: they say it's all good, you can go ahead. We'll
Speaker 4: just require your ID and then we'll send out your
Speaker 4: contract to you. So from there it would be starting
Speaker 4: to posit. So at our office, we do initial deposit
Speaker 4: of zero point two percent.
Speaker 3: I don't even know what any of that means.
Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
Speaker 4: And then once the property has gone through what we
Speaker 4: call a calling off period, So it's usually like a
Speaker 4: five day calling off period, which means anytime during those
Speaker 4: five days, if you find something out or if you
Speaker 4: change your mind, you can withdraw from the contact.
Speaker 3: Okay, but you will.
Speaker 4: Depending on how the solicitors and the vendors are feeling.
Speaker 4: You will lose tho therepon two five percent. That's here
Speaker 4: only downside of.
Speaker 3: That, fucking cimarn. So I will be completely and utterly
Speaker 3: honest with you. I appreciate you coming on. I'm sure
Speaker 3: you've been very thorough and very informative. However, I've completely
Speaker 3: lost interest because that's just too much. That is all
Speaker 3: too much.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a lot, very worthy, and that's why
Speaker 4: it's always easy to have a solicitor to go every everything,
Speaker 4: and then they'll be able to just, you know, kind
Speaker 4: of simplify everything for you so that way you're only
Speaker 4: sending in your ID and you're paying and signing.
Speaker 3: Even one of the first steps you said was like
Speaker 3: putting an offer in writing. I'm like, oh, can't I
Speaker 3: just send a voice message totally writing?
Speaker 1: He has a pen and pape? What about asking for
Speaker 1: snapchat is official? If I can send wanted.
Speaker 3: To know if a snapchat counts, I could not appropriate
Speaker 3: as long as there's writing on the screen. It needs
Speaker 3: being writing, okayty much?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's not like one of those one second
Speaker 4: ones where you know we lose a straight away.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, of course. All right, sim, appreciate your time.
Speaker 3: You have pretty much made up my mind that I
Speaker 3: truly can't be going through with any of this, and
Speaker 3: also I can't even afford it, So why are they
Speaker 3: pressuring me?
Speaker 4: No? Yeah, and my parents are doing the exact same thing,
Speaker 4: and they know I can't afford it as well. And
Speaker 4: I work in the real estate industry, so there's no
Speaker 4: way I'm doing anything at the moment.
Speaker 3: I will say, Sim, in my experience, every real estate
Speaker 3: agent I've dealt with has been a shocking person. But
Speaker 3: you sound fun and I'm going to keep your number
Speaker 3: for when the time comes you can help me through it.
Speaker 4: Of course, I have no problem. I know the best
Speaker 4: people as well.
Speaker 3: Oh god, is it she gorgeous?
Speaker 1: She sounds great, simmery, simmering, So you don't have a.
Speaker 4: Really good day. And if you need any help, you
Speaker 4: have my numbers.
Speaker 1: Oh, she sounds like a real estate agent. Listen to her.
Speaker 3: Sorry, I've got Mitch Cheery in money and you and
Speaker 3: the other seam I'm not ignoring you. You have a
Speaker 3: beautiful day to my love, thank you.
Speaker 1: Thanks for hell see you're simmering. Oh bless her.
Speaker 3: Oh nah, I'm not doing it. I'm happy to be
Speaker 3: your rent.
Speaker 1: If I didn't have a fucking COVID my grain before,
Speaker 1: I definitely do now.
Speaker 3: Confusing, do you know the other fear about buying a place?
Speaker 1: I just as a renter.
Speaker 3: I kind of like having the knowledge in the back
Speaker 3: of my head that at any given point I can
Speaker 3: just decide, fuck it, I'm moving to Kratha if I
Speaker 3: buy a place. Isn't that kind of like, you know,
Speaker 3: setting down roots or whatever you call it. Like my
Speaker 3: dad did say to me, di' panic worse that can happen,
Speaker 3: you just sell it and leave. And I'm like that
Speaker 3: sounds that more fucking admin.
Speaker 1: Totally fucking hell. That is stressful. Now I'm happy with
Speaker 1: mum and dad, you're happy with renting. We keep on
Speaker 1: keeping on.
Speaker 3: I still think you should move out and get a rental,
Speaker 3: but that's another conversation.
Speaker 1: We're out of time for the day. That's unfortunate. We're
Speaker 1: all out of time to discuss that.
Speaker 3: I just saved her number in my phone as simren
Speaker 3: just realist say simmering, I'll go to I loved her.
Speaker 1: Okay, I need to go because I'm cold, sweat and
Speaker 1: we will see you guys for our Wednesday episode.
Speaker 3: Yep, can't wait. Another reminder the mug member teal Era mugs.
Speaker 3: Get your orders in before the end of the month,
Speaker 3: Lincoln Bio on Instagram. Otherwise we will catch you in
Speaker 3: a couple of days.
Speaker 1: Idiots. Many people said, we love the mug design, we
Speaker 1: love the new photo. Thank god, because you know, Mitch,
Speaker 1: you and I look and snatch that sound. That sound,
Speaker 1: you know, after we've had all that cosmetic surgery done
Speaker 1: internally and externally, and then Jenna's behind us trying to
Speaker 1: break through. Someone's like, poor Jenna, looks like she's struggling
Speaker 1: to get set. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Someone said, it looks like Jenna's pushing, But oh my god,
Speaker 3: what say her name and she appears, What the fuck?
Speaker 1: Hi, Jenna?
Speaker 3: Hold on, I'm running the studio. I gotta turn your
Speaker 3: mic on. Sit down, you know, Jenna, we were literally
Speaker 3: just talking about the mug and how someone said it
Speaker 3: looks like you were pushing. It's the part struggling to
Speaker 3: be seen in the photo. When I'm like, no, that
Speaker 3: was actually the gag. It's Mitch and I standing there
Speaker 3: like SBU detectives looking all series and then Jennet's just
Speaker 3: pushing at the part, going hi, I'm here.
Speaker 1: That's the point. Yes, exactly, Hi, Jenna, can you hear me?
Speaker 2: Hello?
Speaker 3: Mitch?
Speaker 4: Hello?
Speaker 3: How is COVID?
Speaker 1: COVID? It's fine, I'm getting through. How was Pilates?
Speaker 5: Yeah it was lovely.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was good.
Speaker 3: I thought you had work on.
Speaker 5: I did have polarates and work okay.
Speaker 3: I thought so?
Speaker 1: Yes, interesting? All right to film The Big Boss?
Speaker 3: Oh wow?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Interesting?
Speaker 1: The CEO the one down from that, Oh interesting is
Speaker 1: that for that inclusion thing? They asked me to speak
Speaker 1: at it? And guess what what They said, Oh, we're
Speaker 1: doing an inclusion thing at the radio station. Do you
Speaker 1: want to speak? And I said, of course, I'll speak
Speaker 1: on being queer and in the public eye. And no,
Speaker 1: we want you as a plus size person. Oh no,
Speaker 1: that's your diversity, I said, I've just lost forty helos
Speaker 1: in this building.
Speaker 3: Why were they?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm fine with being plus sized and seen as
Speaker 1: that way, but that's not at all what I thought
Speaker 1: my brand was. But sure I can speak of that,
Speaker 1: and I said, absolutely, not.
Speaker 3: You know, Jenny, you've just come in literally at the
Speaker 3: end of the episode.
Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah? Pretty much like can you hear the
Speaker 1: music's on? We're got the close of music is playing.
Speaker 1: We're getting out of here.
Speaker 5: Oh whoops?
Speaker 1: It god? Did you sound so devastated that you've let

Speaker 2: Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast.
Speaker 3: Welcome to a to dbrief. This is our secret segment.
Speaker 3: On the end, we pretend the show is done, but
Speaker 3: it isn't.
Speaker 1: We continue.
Speaker 3: Look at how the tables have turned me holding the
Speaker 3: ford in the studio and you went home.
Speaker 1: I know, and also I love that what Jenna just
Speaker 1: said about the Taylor Swift tickets was perfect for ad debrief,
Speaker 1: yet it made the main show.
Speaker 5: Yeah, thanks, that's okay.
Speaker 3: Although she's leaning into the fact that we don't have
Speaker 3: a secret segment. It's a secret, she goes, wait before
Speaker 3: we go. Yes, she's just committing to the line like
Speaker 3: that's the only chance she has to speak exactly true.
Speaker 1: Well, Jenna, glad, We're glad you're here.
Speaker 5: I'm glad to be here, thank you.
Speaker 3: You know what happened to me when I was back
Speaker 3: home in bogen Gate. Yeah, I stuck around for a
Speaker 3: few days after the show, just to chill at the farm,
Speaker 3: which looks so cute.
Speaker 1: By the way, that show looked beautiful that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks. I didn't actually make that. I had a
Speaker 3: videographer come along and do that. She was very good.
Speaker 1: I was going to say the video quality of it
Speaker 1: was a project.
Speaker 3: Do you think that I was somehow filming myself with
Speaker 3: the HD camera while on stage? I try, I've tried it,
Speaker 3: but I actually can't do two things that once, as
Speaker 3: it turns out.
Speaker 1: Okay, So the shows were good and you saw the family.
Speaker 3: I'll keep a long story short. It was a fucking
Speaker 3: nightmare because I got there on Friday and the show
Speaker 3: wasn't n till Saturday, and I thought, I'll just go
Speaker 3: in a bit early on Saturday just to make sure
Speaker 3: everything's ready to give it once over. And then Mum said,
Speaker 3: I think we should go in on Friday afternoon to
Speaker 3: you know, set up all the chairs and shit. And
Speaker 3: I was like, that's interesting, that that's our job. But
Speaker 3: I thought, look, just for peace of mind, I'll come
Speaker 3: along to the hall on the Friday afternoon as well,
Speaker 3: just said I would check it, and thank fuck I did,
Speaker 3: because we were there for like six hours. What was
Speaker 3: absolute bomb site. They were using the stage as just
Speaker 3: like a storage facility. There were fucking tubs, there were
Speaker 3: of wire and shit everywhere. There was dust, there was
Speaker 3: broken chairs just shoved up on the stage. It was
Speaker 3: a freaking nightmare. The sound system didn't work. It took
Speaker 3: me two hours alone to figure out how to get
Speaker 3: the fucking mics to work, and so it was just
Speaker 3: a huge ordeal. I've never been that stress. It was
Speaker 3: hours and one hours and we were all dirty. There
Speaker 3: were six of us in total trying to set it
Speaker 3: all up, and I was like, wow, I really thought
Speaker 3: this was going to be like any other gig where
Speaker 3: I'd just turn up, they hand me the microphone and
Speaker 3: tell me where to stand, and you speak, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait, so did they not prepare the stage
Speaker 1: at all?
Speaker 3: No? And after about half an hour of me and
Speaker 3: four friends and like bog and Gate neighbors cleaning this
Speaker 3: fuck hole up, I said, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Speaker 3: What if the whole committee were planning to come and
Speaker 3: do it on Saturday morning? Should we call them? Because like,
Speaker 3: why would we bother doing it if they're already planning
Speaker 3: to do it. We called the head of the committee.
Speaker 3: The name's Roz, and we said, Ross, are you cleaning
Speaker 3: this joint up? She went no, what, well, we won't
Speaker 3: be paying the venue high Then ros just quietly. You know,
Speaker 3: it was a fucking ordeal and I was very stressed.
Speaker 3: And it went well in the end, basically, but this
Speaker 3: was not the point of the story. So while I
Speaker 3: was home in bogen Gate, one of our neighbors, Joanne,
Speaker 3: mentioned to me that she goes to polarates classes in Forbes,
Speaker 3: and I was like, right, that's very modern for Forbes.
Speaker 3: The tiny ass country town has fucking pilates classes. The
Speaker 3: reformer machine and everything reformer. Yeah, And so I said, Joe,
Speaker 3: I might pop along to class with you. So I
Speaker 3: went along to the Polarates class in Forbes. And then
Speaker 3: afterwards Joe Ane says, I've just got to pop to
Speaker 3: Woolli's and pick up a couple of things, right, And
Speaker 3: I thought, yep, no dramas. And also the best thing
Speaker 3: about that is that Joe's the sort of person that
Speaker 3: actually does just pop in when my mom pops in.
Speaker 3: She did this for hours. She just wandered around aimlessly,
Speaker 3: looking confused. But Joe's like, bang bang bank, got everything
Speaker 3: I need.
Speaker 1: Let's get it out.
Speaker 3: I called Mama, said and need anything. Picked up a
Speaker 3: couple of things for us, the malm and milk and
Speaker 3: barbecue saw. I got to the counter to pay for them,
Speaker 3: and you know how you double tap the thing on
Speaker 3: your phone to bring up the Apple wallety. My cards
Speaker 3: had just vanished.
Speaker 1: What.
Speaker 3: I don't know what happened. I was like, well, I
Speaker 3: can't pay for groceries with a fucking fly By card
Speaker 3: or an old Virgin Airlines ticket from last year that
Speaker 3: I've still got an Apple wallet And I tried to
Speaker 3: readd them. I'm sitting there at the counter being like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, this is so embarrassing trying to re
Speaker 3: add them to the wallet, and it was going an
Speaker 3: error has occurred, and so I don't know what the
Speaker 3: fuck how that's happened that. God, Joanne was there, she
Speaker 3: bought the groceries. But then the very next day it's
Speaker 3: when we had the Optus outage. Oh so the two
Speaker 3: aren't connected. The two aren't connected at all. But my
Speaker 3: point is, I'm going to sound like such a boomer
Speaker 3: right now, but God, we rely too much on technology,
Speaker 3: don't we. I'm going to go back to my tool.
Speaker 3: I'm getting a purse, I'm carrying physical cards, I'm carrying cash, Like,
Speaker 3: it's just ridiculous that when that's down on my phone,
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm screwed. I'm fucking screwed.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had that for the international listeners. Optus is
Speaker 1: a telco in this company Telecommunications Service, and it died
Speaker 1: and everyone was you everyone uses either Optus or telsha.
Speaker 3: Really, I had to drive back from bogen Gate to
Speaker 3: Sydney for six hours with no maps. Oh no, thank fuck.
Speaker 3: I'm a genius and I managed to get here no
Speaker 3: wrong terms. But my phone just wasn't working the whole time,
Speaker 3: which I'm not like a massive phone addict. It was
Speaker 3: fine to go without it, but it was more just
Speaker 3: like the knowledge that if something happens, I can't contact anyone,
Speaker 3: they can't contact me, like I'm just off the grid.
Speaker 3: I had to listen to fucking talk back radio all
Speaker 3: the way from bogen Gate to Sydney and there wasn't
Speaker 3: even anything good.
Speaker 1: That's your dream, Let's be real. You weren't excited about.
Speaker 3: That, no, because I only listened hoping to find some
Speaker 3: cooked shit for the podcast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, right right.
Speaker 3: Although there was one caller on ABC, I didn't hear this.
Speaker 3: Jenna sent it to me. There's just a meme that
Speaker 3: says a woman who rang ABC's Sidney Radio says she
Speaker 3: found out about the Optus outage from her cat. The
Speaker 3: cat has an automatic WiFi feeder connected to Optis and
Speaker 3: when breakfast wasn't delivered at six ten am, the cat
Speaker 3: went to the bedroom to lodge a complaint with management.
Speaker 3: It's the best call.
Speaker 1: That's so funny.
Speaker 3: Someone actually put in our is it just me bloody
Speaker 3: Induran Idiot's group chat? Oh, Mitch and Jenity define this
Speaker 3: audio so Jenna did find it. Do you want to
Speaker 3: hear it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Actual call Annie, Hello, how are you affected?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: I got very early this morning because my cat won't
Speaker 3: ten past six because her cat feeder isn't working.
Speaker 5: Pluna.
Speaker 1: How does the feeder work?
Speaker 3: It's a Wi Fi through the Wi fi.
Speaker 1: But what does it do?
Speaker 6: I'm not really seeing it. It gives a food ten
Speaker 6: past six, so it's set on a timer and out
Speaker 6: it comes.
Speaker 1: Get through the WiFi.
Speaker 6: That's so funny. And I hope cats all right and
Speaker 6: you've dealt with it all as well. Any further ramifications.
Speaker 6: Let us know I for six seven nine double two
Speaker 6: seven oh two in textaway there. If you're seeing things
Speaker 6: that that are an issue.
Speaker 3: Well, they didn't have a jingle, do they No?
Speaker 1: Jesus, the way that story was told, complain to management.
Speaker 1: That sounded like a much better story. That is terrible radio.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the meme was funny. It wasn't it was. One
Speaker 3: of our listeners said they should find the audio. Well
Speaker 3: we did. There you go, oh well, it.
Speaker 1: Just goes to show how good your talkback ting's nose
Speaker 1: is because you find good my barometer, yeah barometer. I
Speaker 1: wasn't affected at all, I am with optors, and I
Speaker 1: woke up, but I was on Wi Fi because I
Speaker 1: was COVID. I saw tells I was gonna.
Speaker 3: Say, your WiFi wasn't with optors, so you would have
Speaker 3: been fine. All day.
Speaker 1: I owned and it all day.
Speaker 3: I pulled into a cafe near Orange and they had
Speaker 3: free WiFi, and I was there for like half an
Speaker 3: hour just sitting in the car because I was like,
Speaker 3: this is the only time I'm going to have Wi Fi.
Speaker 3: I've got to make the most of it.
Speaker 1: It is crazy. It does make you think, like we
Speaker 1: all have. You have those discussions about becoming a cashless society,
Speaker 1: and you go, God, it's times like that when you think, really,
Speaker 1: cash is all anyone would ever take? We need some.
Speaker 3: I really don't think we should because I've already decided
Speaker 3: my new insurance policy if something like this happens again,
Speaker 3: is I'm going to just pop a fifty dollar note
Speaker 3: in the back of my phone case so that I've
Speaker 3: always got it. You never know, because imagine if my
Speaker 3: phone dies and I can't order an Ebert, I just
Speaker 3: get a taxi with my fifty Yeah, Like, I'm too
Speaker 3: reliant on technology kids these days.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I agree. It was actually frightening,
Speaker 1: and my parents were just so perplexed. Dad goes, mate,
Speaker 1: I can't call anyone, and I go, no, you can't
Speaker 1: because yeah, because the WiFi. No, no, that's not that's
Speaker 1: not that's not it at all. That's absolutely not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my text are going through is green. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they are, like they just couldn't understand it.
Speaker 3: He just couldn't fathom it.
Speaker 1: No, he couldn't. Goodn't.
Speaker 3: Well I wasn't affected at all, all right, So I'm
Speaker 3: out in my own here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just you for me. It was a very
Speaker 1: normal I did listen to the CEO of Optis on
Speaker 1: two GB talking to deb nine.
Speaker 3: Oh you've heard that too. I heard that when I
Speaker 3: was driving.
Speaker 1: Oh I heard it. I loved it. I thought it
Speaker 1: was a great interview.
Speaker 3: She was just reading a fucking script. It was a
Speaker 3: horrible interview.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and no, I mean, I know I'm more on
Speaker 1: team miss Night. I wasn't on the opt CEO side.
Speaker 1: But she said, you know, we updated everyone and we
Speaker 1: posted to our Instagram and to our Facebook to let
Speaker 1: everyone know about the outage. Yeah, it's like yeah, but
Speaker 1: also Dev's like, but no one had internet see it,
Speaker 1: and she's like, well.
Speaker 3: Yes, you know what I had. My radio was still
Speaker 3: set to two GB. And on the way here today
Speaker 3: I caught a little bit of Deb Knight's show when
Speaker 3: there was an ad for like hearing impaired people Hearing Australia.
Speaker 3: I was like, why would they choose an audio only
Speaker 3: meeting to advertise for people with hearing loss? It just
Speaker 3: doesn't make a lot of sense, especially with am bullshit quality.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's only audio.
Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: It seems counterin chruing.
Speaker 3: Do you know what else has happened? When my Optus
Speaker 3: eventually came back online, I went and googled how to
Speaker 3: and then I just tired the letter s and the
Speaker 3: first thing that came up was how to switch from
Speaker 3: Optus to Telstra. That'sol because I was looking into it
Speaker 3: to see if it was going to be again with
Speaker 3: the real estate thing. It looks like it's going to
Speaker 3: be too much fucking I've been to switch, but I
Speaker 3: was like, okay, I can forgive the data breach, but
Speaker 3: come on, stop pissing around.
Speaker 1: The data badgie for optis heart data breach. And then
Speaker 1: whatever the hell this was? They said, what it was like.
Speaker 1: My mum was like, I think it's a terror attack.
Speaker 1: Why why why do you think that? Mum?
Speaker 3: I still haven't heard an update. What did cause the ardige?
Speaker 3: They said it was like a deep rooted flow. Yeah,
Speaker 3: like Jane's attitude, a deep rooted floor.
Speaker 1: Yeah, systemic.
Speaker 5: Yeah, apparently they haven't said anything yet. Fuck, they've just
Speaker 5: been using jargon and stuff to explain something that they
Speaker 5: don't know.
Speaker 3: There's one thing I hate. It's jargon. We all know that,
Speaker 3: we all know.
Speaker 1: He he well said, well, yeah, well listen, I'm fading.
Speaker 1: I think I to go lie down. I'm fucking oh
Speaker 1: that just this is the most work I've done in
Speaker 1: a whole week, and it's gone to my head.
Speaker 3: Okay, well, hopefully you'll be back with us for the
Speaker 3: Wednesday episode, Mitch, because you're going to have to be
Speaker 3: with me to make the call if Jenna gets an
Speaker 3: INJEM or not totally.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I'm what's the what's the I'm thirty
Speaker 1: three percent of this of this company's decision making power,
Speaker 1: Mitch is another thirty three Actually does Jenna have thirty
Speaker 1: Three's a three three three three three three No way,
Speaker 1: no like that. She's not even on the board. Yeah,
Speaker 1: even I know that it's forty twenty. All right, I'll
Speaker 1: be here for the Wednesday episode, and I'm confident.
Speaker 3: The best thing about our board meetings, Janner, is that
Speaker 3: we just don't have them. There's no meetings. No, they'd
Speaker 3: be boring board meetings anyway. We hope this podcast made
Speaker 3: you feel at least two percent better today. That's all.
Speaker 3: So we do. So we do that little lag. That's fine,
Speaker 3: it's still.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 1: I just saw breaking news o'megal has been shut down.
Speaker 1: After fourteen years, it's been shut down.
Speaker 5: When we talked to randoms and.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably good. It's like old creepy man jerking
Speaker 1: off to young people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, what a crying shame. I didn't know that
Speaker 3: was the thing.
Speaker 1: No, I just saw that breaking news. O'meagle has officially
Speaker 1: shut down.
Speaker 3: We were literally saying goodbye. I suppose this is add brief.
Speaker 3: You can let your add play up.
Speaker 1: That's that's what it's for. But you're right, let's go.
Speaker 1: I hope this podcast.

Speaker 3: Well can you vouch did it make you feel two
Speaker 3: percent better? As someone who is currently suffering an ailment.
Speaker 1: Absolutely it did. I feel much better now.
Speaker 3: More than two percent. Or about bang on, about bang
