Episode Transcript
Just posted by a couple of Mitches.
Hello, yeah, hell a, you release yourself for the rude shocks of young adults.
You know, I take cognition vitamins every day.
Speaker 2I think you need to up the dice now.
Speaker 1Is Mitch Julie and Mitchell Coos hollo you Hello you Hello Mitchell.
Big week for you, huh, massive week for you for you.
Speaker 2Not for me, massive week for me.
Speaker 1It was a massive week for me.
I am brain frightum on like four hours sleep, and I hope you don't mind.
I know we're wrapping up.
We only have this less than five episodes left.
M on that what.
Speaker 2Last episode two fifty I very confidently said, well, we're down to the final five in fact after this episode, but then there are four left, and my darling Sewan very kindly pointed out that's completely fucking wrong.
Why because two fifty one fifty three, two four, two fifty five that's five episodes.
Oh, you're right, Like you know when people say, oh, I don't count to ten one two, No, you just skipped a second.
You meant to start at zero, like a stop watch doesn't start at one, does it?
Anyway, that's fucking irrelevant.
It is now we're into the final.
Speaker 1Final five, Final five.
But I do want to say, now that we've officially started the final five, do you mind if I do something we've never done on this show?
Of course, I just want to start the show, yep, and I don't want to waffle at the beginning.
I've got some news to share it.
Can we just start well formalities?
If it's your first time listening?
Well, is it just me?
We start every episode they're saying with an is it just me?
Each something we've noticed, hate or appreciate.
We don't tell each other what it's going to be.
However, I have a fucking feeling.
I know what this is going to be about.
Also proce Keepy Jenner is here?
Speaker 2Hi, Hi Jenna a third wheel Radley?
Speaker 3Is it just me?
Speaker 1Are any of you unemployed?
Speaker 4That's cruel?
Don't say like that.
Speaker 1It's just you?
Unfortunately, Yes, yeah, let's jump straight to it.
I have some news.
So I have left Kiss FM arn and I am no longer going to be on the network.
In twenty twenty five, I will not be on the radio in any capacity as as far as this message goes, And that time of recording, it was not my decision I was.
I was given alternate options at the network, but they not what I wanted and not at all the cattle rol level that I have been doing for a decade.
Speaker 2I don't think anyone saw this coming.
Of the newspaper headlines saying blindsided, and I was like, fuck, that's the perfect word for it, because no one saw that coming.
Joint me to play the announcement you did on Kiss for any of our idiots that might have missed it.
Speaker 1Yeah, but yeah, this is on the pick up one of my old shows.
Speaker 2Oh you're still there for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 1We'll get to all that info, but yeah, play it before we start the show today.
Speaker 2We a sorry, is it just me on the fly?
It sounded like you were starting an ad before we get into today's episode.
Thanks, Hey, before we.
Speaker 1Start the show today.
His program's brought to you by Redundancies.
I shouldn't keep going before we start the show today.
We and I have some news that I really don't want to have to share.
But we have some show news, yes, and really big changes to the show.
Yeah.
So late last week I was informed by the powers at b at Arn, which is the parent company, that they have identified my roles and my position here at the pickup with you two as roles that won't be returning in twenty twenty five.
So I just want to say that it wasn't my decision, wasn't my call.
I really wanted to stay on this show with the two of you, and that I love working in radio and I love working here.
I have been told that it's, at the end of the day, a financial decision for the company.
Speaker 2Mitch.
We also want to.
Speaker 1Say, oh no, don't, don't know, no, don't because listen, the critics said that a gay man and two girls on radio wouldn't work, and now we're hysterical it's not going to be good.
Speaker 3I am jealous at the people to get to work QUICKI next, well, I.
Speaker 1Want you to, but you know our hand has been forced.
Listen.
I am so grateful, I genuinely am for what they have given me over the almost decade I've been here, almost a decade.
You know, I started on the Kyle and Jackie Oh Show when I was nineteen and I was their burista.
I made their coffees and let me tell you, I was a kid who dreamt to have a show like this, and now I've had a show like this, and now I've got way more time to dream of more dreams and head on out and doing this show and connecting to the audience that are listening now, and working with you two and having every show at the radio station.
I cleaned the toilets in this building when I was twenty, you know, I started here.
Yeah.
Actually should go back to HATEHR to discuss that.
Speaker 2But Mitch, you are a brilliant broadcaster, and this is this is the biggest loss to this network.
You're not being here, it really is.
Fuck.
Speaker 1Thanks for making me realive that.
Speaker 2Sorry, I should have checked if that was okay.
Speaker 4It's a beautiful mess.
Speaker 2Did you just wing that or did you sort of have a speech prepared?
Speaker 3No?
Speaker 1I had some notes prepared ahead of time in dot Points, the first time I'd ever prepared for any radio in my whole life.
Actually it was my goodbye announcement.
But I just want to say that, Yeah, it wasn't my choice.
I wanted to stay, but my hand was forced.
This industry is going through like a big upheaval.
Times are changing.
But I think you get loud into such a false sense of security when your job is what we do you know, I think we're lucky.
Radio podcasting is different to radio.
You know, we have such control over this this show and this medium and what we get to say, but radio like, it's a different beast.
It really is.
And I think I just thought that I was part of the furniture and I was safe.
Speaker 4You know, I think everyone did.
Speaker 2Yeah, in fact, that would explain to our dy.
It's why you were missing from last Monday's episode because you told us the reason you couldn't do it, and we were like, is this that joke?
You know, I didn't believe it because it was just so far fetched to us that that could happen.
Speaker 3We were expecting you to be like, just kidding.
I was still waiting.
Speaker 1We'll talk about this all in good time.
But it was the day that we were recording and you guys were in the studio and I said, I'll be ten minutes.
I've just got a meeting.
I thought I was going to get given what of cash?
I don't know.
I'm doing so well.
The ratings for the show are fantastic.
They got to get me a bonus, and then a lady from HR was in there.
I'm like, oh, this is not good.
So you know, I just want I have had some of the most beautiful messages I've ever received in my life from people that listen to the show and my radio shows, and I just need to say thank you.
Speaker 2It obviously would have been a shock at first, and it's different for everyone.
When some people, for example, get made redundant, they're like, sweet, I'm out.
They see it.
It's like a blessing.
It's so different when you see a future at the.
Speaker 1Business, when you're being told that you have a future, and.
Speaker 2Also it just does a reason to believe you don't that's right.
Speaker 1It doesn't make sense to me.
I mean, I understand financially, why why it had to be done.
Speaker 2I guess, and I feel like correct me if I'm wrong, and I want to put words in your bloody mouth.
I feel like now you can see it for what it is, just the financial decision, because at first, when that initial shock happens, you obviously can't help but take it a bit personally.
Speaker 1Well, either that or it's deeply personal.
And I mean, as much as I like to joke and throw around all these bits on the show and both shows like I'm a ver, I don't think I've pissed anyone off.
Speaker 2You know, Oh my god, the thing I was stunned by.
I've actually got a few comments to read out, because sometimes if radio shows get axed, you'll see people in the comments being nasty, being like, oh good about time.
They deserve that.
Speaker 1They're I switch off at this time every day.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't think again, correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't think I saw a single comment like that.
To not be trolled, especially on Facebook and daily mail, and to not be trolled and have everyone go what that sucks thing?
It for what it is, that's pretty big.
Speaker 1Well, that's very sweet, Mitchel.
I think the one thing that shocked me out of everything, and you know, as guarded as I am and as devastated as I am, I'm ready to talk about the fact that they used a headshot of when I was fat in the paper.
I mean, for God's sake, they use an old headgshop when I was twenty four.
That was for each of I think I think that was a contracept of diaphragm.
Sam took that photo, oh that one.
Yeah, yeah, I completely forgot about that.
Speaker 3The photover I'm actually cut it out of the newspaper and it's actually stuck on my desk at the moment.
Speaker 4Well that that article because I just think it's just you're in the newspaper.
Speaker 1Page three.
I don't know how the hell am That's pretty good.
I'll take it pretty good.
But it's like blindside, a gobsmacked radio star cut and then it's me.
Speaker 2Like the photo.
But I don't imagine there'd be many photos out there of you looking devo.
Speaker 1No, there's not many.
Speaker 2Yeah, no, they wouldn't be able to pick a stocking me to be looking sad.
Speaker 1Jenny.
Can you google Kissfir Mitch Chery because this has never happened to me, and you know, I'll take it.
Baby.
Speaker 2I got papped, really yeah.
Speaker 1I thought someone getting the Pepsi was taking photos of the Pepsi Palace because of its architecture.
Right, I might look at that guy with a big, big lens with you leaving the building.
Speaker 3The headline reads, You'll be right, mate.
Laura Burn and Britney Hockley support axed co host Mitch Jury as the exit Sydney's Kiss FM studios.
Speaker 1It looks like I'm being charged with manslaughter.
Speaker 2Yeah, it looks like they're escorting you because you're standing in the middle and they're both LinkedIn arm each It looks like you're in handcuffs and they're escorting you, like you'll do this peacefully.
Speaker 1I'm embarrassed.
I look horrific.
You really don't look horrific, crumpy.
It looks like I'm disgraced, Like it looks like I've been let go because I've said something really problematic and in the same week as Alan Jones in the present.
Speaker 2Did you know that was taking photos?
Speaker 3No?
Speaker 1I didn't, but the girls who clearly like I don't know, they must be used to it.
The girls are very famous, but they're like, I think someone's taking out photo and then so I don't know what to do.
No, I look, we joke about it, but I have to say.
Speaker 2Can you let me know as soon as it's not too soon to joke.
Because I had to stop myself when that post went on Instagram, you announcing that you were leaving.
I had to stop myself from commenting something smart, Arsie.
Speaker 1What did you want to what was it?
Speaker 2I was going to comment that thing that close friends often do when there's a pregnancy or an engagement announcement, and it was going to be like I'm so glad we can finally tell people.
I was like, that's going to be funny too exactly, no one knowing, but I would find that you when's it not too soon to make jokes?
We can finally tell you.
Speaker 1A little sooner.
It's a little soon, you know.
And the thing is, I had messages from idiots and the listeners, and I don't know, I think I hoped people could tell how much I loved being on those shows.
Yeah, and the night show especially was like my my baby, Like I did next Your Midnight.
I hosted the late night show that I worked on, The Thinker Girls before that, that's where Mitch and I met and HQ HQ, it's where Jenna and I worked together.
We met and then I had the show to myself and then I love that and it rated its tits off.
It did really well and I was so happy with the show, and we got great guests and it was brilliant, and I just, you know, I actually am devastated and got it.
Speaker 4I feel like we all are, though, we really are.
Speaker 2But you know what, it's going to be your acting story that we'll be able to tell in years to come.
During your I don't know, some sixty minutes or Australian story or something.
A lot of people in the industry have one.
You know that Hey, Misch and Nandy were acted very early in their career.
Speaker 1Said to me to help to cheer me up.
It was very sweet.
Speaker 2Christy Swan was axed.
Speaker 3Really yeah, but it's not about your talent or anything.
It is financial.
Speaker 2I'm going to read some of the comments.
Katie said, I think all the members of this group this is in our Indurian idiots.
I think all the members of this group can say with confidence that this decision is not a reflection of Cherry's talent.
And you create brings so much joy and comfort to those who hear it, and it's evident in your interactions with others that you have a heart of gold.
I'm so sorry this happened.
And you have such a crowd of humans in your corner rooting for you and who are excited to see where you land because you have so much goodness to give.
See, that's gorgeous.
Speaker 1That's that's really nice.
Speaker 2And then Kate said, have a feeling that CHERI will need another trip to the smash room.
I have a feeling that's actually why he did join us.
Speaker 1Yeah, that was the subtext with the smashing.
Speaker 2Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1Anyway, let's continue with the show.
I'm still on air, by the way, for the next couple weeks.
It's my choice.
And I do want to say, actually, because there are a couple of comments, the ending of this podcast has nothing to do with the ending of the radio show, and it was actually, I mean, that's just a sick way the world works.
Speaker 2Yeah, just pure fucking bad luck, weird coincidence.
Speaker 1No, but people have tried.
I saw some comment as connecting dots that aren't there to be connected.
Speaker 2Yeah, Justin said, oh my god, this is terrible.
I guess this is why the podcast is ending.
Also, since the two of them will know be with iHeart No, so not the case.
Speaker 4How will I will still be with iHeart?
Speaker 1General will still your heart.
But also the way that the structure that this works is we own this podcast.
Yeah, we're the bosses of the show, So we we give our ad space to iHeartRadio and then they they sell them and that's how we both make money whatever.
But it's got nothing.
The contracts are completely separate, and it was unfortunately one of those things in the world and the universe.
That was a shock, a bad coincidence of timings.
Speaker 2In fact, what you've actually just the kind of leads me into my it gym as well.
Do you want me to get into it right now?
Speaker 1Yeah?
Yeah, yeah yeah.
I just want to say thank you to the idiot, Thank you for you too.
You've been amazing.
Friends, and to anyone that said to listen to me on the radio, it will not be the last time you hear me.
Speaker 2Well, obviously not.
Speaker 1God, you have no platform.
Now.
I went from three to zero in a week.
It's all right, onwards and upwards.
Speaker 2Yes, exactly, Let's do your reach, all right, let's go.
Speaker 3Is it just me?
Speaker 2Is there a you need tiny part of you that sees this as a good thing?
My cutting, the tiny part of me that sees it as an opportunity.
Speaker 3At first I was so angry, but now I feel like, I don't know, it's like opened a new door, you know, this could be such a positive thing.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean, look, there is a little there's like a fire in me.
Speaker 5Yeah.
Speaker 1Sorry not, I was fired.
It's what I was trying to say about.
Sorry, sorry at me.
No, No, there is a little fire in me.
But it's like I can sense that it's burning, but it's not a full, you know, stoked fire.
Speaker 2Yet, what do you mean, Well.
Speaker 1I have that in me, and I go, yes, there's so much I want to do.
But you've got to understand that, like kiss and broadcasting and being a radio presenter was in my DNA exactly.
So it's my reality has been turned upside down.
I spent more time in the radio studio than I have in my house, genuinely.
Speaker 2I mean, there's no denying that that everything's been turned upside down.
But also having said that, am I right in saying that this is the only place you've worked in media?
Speaker 1Yes?
I had a brief din as a life saver that I was.
Speaker 2Like, not including coals and shit, But this is the only place you've had a radio job.
Speaker 1Correct, correct?
Yeah?
Speaker 2Yeah, And so I suppose there obviously is like a sense of loyalty right massively, even a little bit of Stockholm syndrome if you don't mind miss that.
Speaker 1Probably yeah, you're probably right.
I mean, yes, you were definitely right.
When I was told I it was like, it is so personal because you can't take it any other way.
Speaker 2And also I will say that we recorded an episode with Kate Langbrook hasn't come out yet.
We're saving that for next week.
It is stick around.
And at this time you hadn't been let go and you were talking to Kate about how much the job had become almost like Groundhog Day.
Your exact words, you described it as an old old candle melting down.
It kills you.
Yes, you were being dramatic, but there is truth behind that because no denying that you fucking loved the job.
Ye, you appreciated it.
You valued it because obviously it's a good fucking opportunity.
Why wouldn't you, But also it was taking a little bit of a toll, wasn't it.
Speaker 1Well, I mean, if you want the truth, that's why the podcast part of it is ending, because I was we both.
Speaker 2Were, as we said at the time, too much juggling.
Speaker 1Yeah, I was exhausted and I've said it before before I'd even chosen to leave this show and those shows were cut.
I was doing, I am doing what is it?
Five?
Ten twelve shows a week, twelve content shows circ de Salah don't even do twelve shows a week, and they're flipp it like.
Speaker 2Not even alphabe, but can do fucking twelve No, Cynthia, I'd like to see you try back exactly, to be honest, and it was I was exhausted.
Speaker 1But I don't want this to be picked up or taken by anyone that I wasn't grateful, loved the jobs, or gave it one hundred percent.
Speaker 2Yeah, as I said, no denying that.
But that's why it's easier for me than it is for you to see it as an opportunity to spread your wings, basically, because I don't know how to describe it without sounding like a bitch.
How do I describe it?
It's like say it because Okay, well I've known you for fucking years, right, what is it seven?
Speaker 1If it's seven years seven or eight?
Speaker 2And the whole time i've known you, you've been so vivacious and energetic, full of life and colorful.
Yeah, but it's just been maybe in the last year or two that that colorfulness there's a bit more gray in there because it's becoming so groundhog day ish.
Yeah, And obviously you'd be a fool to throw in the towel.
And so I think this is where I'm getting a bit woo woo.
I never do this, but I'm getting weo weoo I think the universe was like, I'm stepping in.
He's never gonna quit.
In fact, you've been house hunting.
You were about to fucking sign a mortgage, making me more beholden to the job.
The universe was like, nahap, get out.
Speaker 1You're not the only person that I said that.
Isn't that weird?
And it's also apparently in my Satin's return.
Speaker 2I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1We need to get.
Speaker 3No.
Speaker 2Hang on, here's a comment from Demi.
All these doors closing will only give you all the freedom in the world to open some new and exciting ones.
I just know you'll play a huge part in the future of radio or TV or both.
He's the nail on the head, Demi.
Speaker 1That's very sweet, I know, but it's just as scary, you know.
Speaker 2Yeah, Like you're obviously going to get another fucking gig.
No one doubts that at all.
But even if it doesn't happen immediately, God, wouldn't a fucking gap year be the most gorgeous thing?
Speaker 1Oh Mitchell, I don't.
Speaker 2Have to do anything.
You can do what you want.
Follow your curiosity.
I know, so fulfilling, my.
Speaker 1Grace, my grace, my producer craz goes to me, do I come to Gochella next year?
IM, I can't.
Speaker 2I care you, Canchella.
And that's what I meant about the last couple of years.
Things that used to excite you no longer were as much.
No they were because your mind was like, it's either work or recharge two things.
But now you can just play well.
Speaker 1So if you want the truth of it, like you kind of fit I got into in Stockholm syndrome is the perfect way to describe it.
I just got into thinking that that was all I had to give, or the only product I was ever going to give, you know, because you get so good at a product, like what do they say, seven years in a job, that you're a professional, Like you finally mastered your craft.
I'm up to like nine.
So I was like going in and it was it was so easy for me to get out there, get a couple of easy gags, and continue on the radio that I'm excited to stretch a new side of my brain.
Speaker 2Yeah.
People have been saying to us for weeks, I'm so excited to see what you guys do next.
Fuck me.
Yeah, Now they mean it more than the world's your oyster.
Speaker 1Our reunion's going to be so fucking live stream.
It's going to go crazy.
Speaker 2And now I could be the one to make fun of you for not having a full time job.
Speaker 1I have make fun of you.
I admire and I respect, but the irony is not lost on me that now we've a very similar situation.
Speaker 2Welcome to the club.
Speaker 3Also, like it's normal to have that fear as well, and I feel that like that fear will also drive you for sure.
So don't beat yourself up about being scared and stuff, because I feel like that's normal.
You've this has become your life.
Yeah, and now it's just to explore more options and it's so exciting.
Speaker 2And it's ally but also you're very safe.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 2Am I being able to do that?
Speaker 3Yeah?
Speaker 2Because it's like you're going to end up homeless, not being able to pay rent up work, you know what I mean.
Like you're in a good spot to take this on.
Speaker 1There's a payout, like, you know what.
That's the truth of the matter is this industry is in a shit spot, right and it's no medium.
Yeah, it's no one person's fault or no one company's fault, and it's keys to say around.
It's all the networks, right, you know who is fucked.
It's the little people who don't have a profile, can't get on a podcast and can't go and do a dinnerly deal, you know, like it's it really is frightening.
And then there's there's such a small pool and it's dwindling day by day of roles that they can take.
So I'm very blessed and that's not lost on me that I get to come on here and waffle and chat.
Speaker 2So yeah, I just wanted to say that, Yeah, I feel like you're in a better spot today than you were even last week.
I feel you've had time to process the whole thing, right, Yeah that's good.
Speaker 1Yeah, definitely, Yeah, I'm better.
But you know, there's highs and there's lowers.
It does, Evan, of course.
Speaker 3Yeah, and it's also important not to bottle things up talk about it, and I feel like that makes you feel better as well.
Speaker 1Yeah, well said, thanks guys, it's very nice.
Speaker 2If I could wrap this whole conversation up, it would just be you'll be right, You'll be right, Yeah, no one's doubting it.
Yeah, you'll be fucking right, hear here.
Speaker 3So we do too early for that, as Helen Keller once said, this podcast.
Speaker 2Is fucking dope you're listening to Is it just me?
Okay?
Coming up in Wednesdays, episode number fifty two, a new round of will It Yes.

Speaker 4I like that?
Speaker 2Wait, wait, wait for them?
Speaker 5Yeah?
Like so you don't want to wish grievers bodily harm towards someone.
Never So two months ago I started a list.

Speaker 2How long's the list?
There's forty, I'll go thirty seven my favorite number?
Speaker 1All right, No, you just individually?
Speaker 2Yeah, okay, you start thirty seven?
Speaker 5So thirty seven is I hope your candle never burns evenly.
Speaker 2Horrible when that happens.
Speaker 1Bloody tunnel and you can never get that hump, can you.
Now, there's always a candle hump or a hill And no matter I light the candle, that hold on the side and try to burn it.
Speaker 2And people tell you if you put a bit of foil over it, it should even it out.
No, it never works for me.
It never works for me.
Speaker 1That's fantastic or all right.
Speaker 4My turn, my turn, okay.
Number twenty three.
Speaker 5Twenty three is I hope when you're building a flat pack finish and see one piece to the side and never know where it was meant to go.
Speaker 2Oh my god, that's the best and it's going to be a little bit ricketty for its whole fucking life.
That thing.
Speaker 1Oh that's amazing.
I swear they put extras in just a funk with us.
Speaker 5Yeah, it's just a drive puzzle.
It's an adult puzzle, all right.
Speaker 1Give me Chloe thirteen thirteen as if you haven't had enough bad luck, that's my lucky number.
Speaker 5This isn't going to do well for your ego.
Chury okay, God, I hope in a group's photo.
The person who's taking a photos finger is over the lens, only covering your face.

Oh, this one's actually happened to me, and that's why it's on the list.
Yes, I hope every time you say something funny, no one but the person next to you shears it and repeats it and everyone laughs.
Speaker 2That happens to me all the time.
You know who's actually the queen of saying exactly what I said, but louder and then claiming the laughs riving reporter Oscar all the time, and I don't let him have the win.

You know, someone called me out on my former radio show.
They DM me and they were like, you need to stop saying ladies and gentlemen.
And I want to.
I want to be so inclusive and I actually actively try, but there's just not a good gender neutral term for ladies and gentlemen that has the grandeur of ladies in gentlemen?
Speaker 2What about folks?

I'm not ready to look back.
Speaker 2Oh, I was more celebrating how far you've come.
Speaker 1Oh that's sweet.
Now.
I took the radio station off her in the first couple of weeks, and my boss said, made, if you do that again, we're going to send you back to radio school.
And I just had an that's to radio.
Speaker 2School, which is so impressive in itself.
By the way, Oh okay, we don't need that, comprete.
Yeah, because also I had to learn how to use the panel, and and remember, how do.
Speaker 3You use that?
Speaker 2I know, and with your memory after a gap year, you look at the panel and go, fuck, what is all this?
Now to riding the bike, I recognize don't know how to use it, and I'm very rarely used it.

Speaker 2Welcome to add refound secret segment on the end.
We pretend the show is done, but it's not.
We just have a little yap for a while, catch it up and planned here.
Speaker 1God, it has been a fucking weekend.
Speaker 4I can imagine.
Speaker 1I notice we got over review.
They're obviously waning because we're wrapping up, so people think why bother?
Speaker 2Well, I disagree with that because if someone stumbled across our podcast and I think should I listen, I reckon the most recent review should be Yes, they're gone, but it's worth the beam.
Yeah, yeah, yep.
Speaker 1So if you're listening, yeah, well we got a new one top shelf from Chris sad.
It's ending, but this podcast is one of the very best worth going back and listening to them all.

Speaker 1Love that, So please guys, come on give us a little review.
Does it honestly helps a lot?
Speaker 2Literally, as Oscar would say, please please please pay us my star.
Speaker 1Yeah yeah, I love that gorgeous original song.
Speaker 2Sweet So I'm at the time of record.
By the way, it is Seawan's birthday today, Happy birthday, Sean, Happy birthday, And I'm slightly furious because my plan was ruined.
I had this slightly evil plan to make him almost question or worry that has Mitchell forgotten?
Because I was going to say nothing all week, even on the before his birthday, say nothing and have him think has he forgotten?
And then the plan was to get up extra early and be like, here are your presents.
I'm all that haven't forgotten.
But then the fucking florist that I organized to have flowers delivered on his birthday to his office, they delivered them a day early.
Speaker 1Oh no, so it blew the surprise.
Speaker 2Yes, because he sent me a photo be like I love them, thank you so much.
And I was like, fuck, now we know that I clearly remembered the birthday.
Yes, yes, yes, And the florists actually today they sent me this huge apology being like, we've just seen we caught the delivery day wrong.
And I was like, you know what, a day early is better than a day late.
I'll forgive you.
Speaker 1So did Sean still appreciate the flowers?
He still love them?
Speaker 2Yes, he still did.
But then also the night before his birthday, another surprise got ruined because I bought him tickets to see fuck what's it called?
It's some play?
At Belvoir Street Theater.
Speaker 4That has august Osage County.
Speaker 2Yes, oh my.
Speaker 1God, I've been in august I Sage County.
Speaker 2Really at the reason that I got tickets to that, it's because it has Pamela Ray, the Chicken Plate, the freak on Wentworth.
I got tickets like a Saturday matinee.
Speaker 1Gorgeous, perfect for you.
Speaker 2Yeah, I know right, It's also quite a long shot, so I was like, you'll get the matinee.
But the reason I got spoiled is because Sean mentioned something about his plans for Saturday afternoon, and I went what Because I was so confident, like what would he be doing on a Saturday afternoon because normally if he has plans, I'm involved, and I know we didn't have plans.
I was like, what the fuck are you doing Saturday afternoon?
He ruined the surprise because they had to tell him what I planned.
And yes, he made himself available.
But then I was like, your actual birthday is going to be shipped now.
No flowers, no tickets.
The only thing he got today was his present from Isabella, which was a bird bath.
Speaker 1You got Sean a bird bath?
Speaker 2Sorry, and got a very selfish gift give, but it was more for her.
There were birds to.
Speaker 4At least she did it on his birthday, thinking.
Speaker 1I was to give your old apartment.
You've got plenty of him for a bird barth.
Speaker 2Now, in fact, it looks heavier.
That thing is going to blow away.
Speaker 1You think it's fake.
Speaker 2I'm going to show you a photo of his bird bath.
Actually, I'm like, I need something sturdy because it gets windy on the bloody pent house balcony.
Speaker 1And she pick it up?
Where did she get it?
Speaker 2She clicking collected.
Speaker 4Yeah, she's clever.
Speaker 1Yeah, do you have many birds on the balcony?
Speaker 2Yeah's mental for them.
She's never more alan.
Speaker 1She loves to yep, doesn't she?
Speaker 2It's n y E p T yep.
Speaker 1What does Connie do?
Does she me?
Speaker 2I know?
Speaker 4She goes?
Speaker 1Does she then mew?
That's not classic?
Speaker 4But lately she's been sneezing.
Speaker 2Oh it's a bella.
Speaker 5Do they really?
Speaker 4Because I was here?
Yeah, Like she woke me up last night because I heard.
Speaker 2It's such a weird found the cat the cat sleeves here we go.
Look does that not look heavy?
Oh?
Speaker 1That looks very It looks like it's made of like an intense metal.
Speaker 2Not the case, and they sent tent pegs to hold it down, which I assume you would do it in a guard.
Speaker 1I can't do that on a figure out a way to scroll down.
Get some sticky What does the feet look like?
Speaker 3Oh?
Speaker 2God, yeah it does.
Speaker 1So it's not metal.
It's like plastic, is it?
Speaker 4Oh that's so annoy It was metal.
Speaker 1I think you could just get like a three M strip and sticky it stick to the ground.
Speaker 4I don't know if that would be strong enough.
Speaker 1I'll just get like a like a nice decorative heavy sandbag.
Speaker 2Sand bag.
Speaker 1I don't think they make them.
It's my drag queen name was King in the stage decorative.
Speaker 2Sandbag, Sandra Bag.
Speaker 1Call me Sam Sandra Bag.
Oh funny, Well, happy birthday, Seane.
What are you doing tonight?
Speaker 2We're just gonna grab a pub me or nothing fancy?
Speaker 1Yeah, cute.
Yeah, you want to tell people?
Oh did you say this on the podcast or is this one?
We're being actual personal friends.
Isabella on the leash.
Speaker 2Oh I don't think I have.
Speaker 1Oh, but your walks Isabella his cat on a leash, not red.
Speaker 2But Sean had the day off work, which is rare, and he's like, I'm going to go for a quick walk.
Do you want to come with me?
And I said, yeah, oh, come, and then he goes, it's such a shame that Isabella can't just come for a walk with us, and I was like, hang the fuck on life bs before Sean, I did have to take her for walks because the vet said she was fucking.
Speaker 1Overweight, she was porky.
She s trimmed down, yes.
Speaker 2Majorly, And so I was like, I'll get the leash.
We'll take her with us in the prem, take her to the park and then let her out of the prem and see if she wants to wander through the trees and shit, maybe nipped some bird ye.
And then as we're leaving the house, we've got a message in one of the group chat's been like who wants to wfb as in work from Bowlow And so I was like, fuck it, Sean, We're taking the cat to the Bowlow.
Now they're going to get the shock of their lives.
And it's a few of my friends down there working at the fucking bowling club.
It's like in the beer garden with some drinks with their laptops and we just turn up with a fucking cat and pram hot pink leish.
It's a big milestone.
It's Abella's first BOWLO.

She looks terrified.

Speaker 2Fact, well more than halfway.
Speaker 1It's almost the end of Why do I think it was the fifteenth today?
Speaker 2What's wrong with her?
Speaker 5No?
Speaker 1No, no, as almost the end of November.
I mean, if you want to mar a couple of minches dot com dot but I said, I said, hi, Connie Isabella.
Speaker 2You both went you idiot, and she looked at you like what a fool she did.
Speaker 1She she's fat phobic though, because when I was really overweight, she was terrified.
Speaker 4Because you called her fat.
Speaker 1Well, it could bond over that it was we could connect.
She knew and I knew.
Speaker 2You know, did you also lose the weight by being kept on a leash?
Speaker 1Only that one time?
Speaker 2Anyway, That's that's what's been happening.
In my week.
And that's what's been happening in your week, Jenna.
Speaker 3Yeah, nothing much, really hanging with Connie.
Connie has been sneezing.
I called the vet yesterday and asked, what's the problem.
They said, don't worry, she's been eating, which she has.
So yeah, that's been my week.
Speaker 1How much does it cost to have a telehealth with a Vetinarian?
Speaker 2I don't know.
Speaker 4I didn't pay.
Speaker 1Oh you're free.
Speaker 2Wait did you not go to the actual vet?
It was the telehealth?
Speaker 3No, it was just a phone call to the receptionist who then asked the vet, right, because I can't make my way to the vet because I don't never car.
Speaker 2Yeah, get the pram.
Fucking took Isabella to the vet in the prem the other day.
I wasn't even there.
What a big stepfather daughter of a bonding moment.
Speaker 4So I love that.
Speaker 1Mortifying.
Speaker 2Oh my god.
They sent me a quote for the fucking dental work she needs done.
Oh no, she needs a couple grand they said, at least eight hundred, at most one and three hundred, depending on how fucked they are.
Speaker 1It's a lot of money.
Speaker 2And they yeah, if we don't intervene now, and we let the teeth get worse, she'll go off her food.
And I was like, well, you're also telling me she's overweight, so which one is it?
Which one you want?
Speaker 1I feel like veterinarians just make up issues and they got to stay in a job somehow.
Speaker 2Yeah, mechanics, because I don't know any better say to me or actually, bro, I know you only need one new tire, but you actually need three new ties.
These ones aren't roadworthy.
I can't be like, yeah they are, I don't know what roadworthy times stress, you have to trust them.
Speaker 3Luckily, I called the event like half an hour before they closed, so I don't think they wanted me to come.
Speaker 1So they were like, she's fine, cat tail fust crush it up for you.
Speaker 4There's a hack and.
Speaker 1That's actually smart.
Speaker 2Sorry you go no.
Speaker 1I was just same with the Cole's Delhi when you're like, what's what's the best and they're like, this one could be fucking anything.
I don't even know.
They're a twelve year old.
I've got no clue at the best deli meat.
Speaker 5Is, you know.
Speaker 2Speaking of hacks, I tried your hack twice a couple of weeks ago because when I had to get my tires replaced in the car.
I had like three hours to kill it Broadway Shopping Center and I'm going to get me a bootstuice and I remember what you fucking told me, which is if you order a medium, they'll end up making too much and then be like, oh, we'll just.
Speaker 1Give you a large.
Speaker 2Yeah, yeah, didn't did not fuck They've.
Speaker 1Cottoned onto it.
Jeanine Ellis has been listening to it to yourself.

You've got to really take advantage of the young staff.
So if you've got like one of those girls in a bandanna who clearly plays netball and you know he's almost done with a sert for it Tafe, She's not going to give you any extra.
But the new Hirey, beautiful blonde Lucy, she'll accidentally make too much.
Speaker 3After the smash Room, I went to McDonald's because I felt like one of their slurpy things, the slushy thing.
They accidentally did a large instead of a small.
Speaker 2So I got that.
Yeah, how good?
Speaker 4It was great.
Speaker 1Sorry, I just out No, I just checked my I got a notification and by the time that I looked up, you both stopped talking and it was clearly my point to speak, and I had nothing.
