Alright, welcome to a really brief episode, this is Get to Know Mitch, we've got 32 quickfire questions. What's the name of the series, Joel? Apparently it's called Quickfire Questions, I wanted to call it The Coaches Profile but that was too ripped off of Howie Games. That's business isn't it? We just steal other people's ideas and trademark them as our own. Alright, ready to roll Mitchell? Yes. Nicknames? Wombat. Where does Wombat come from? Football, you can put two and two together, five foot six underground, not exactly a high flyer so Wombat. Favourite food? Sushi. Nice. Favourite movies?
Anything that has more than one, like the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Marvel. There's a lot of bad trilogies out there though. That's fun. I like the series. Favourite music or artists, bands? Much to everyone's disappointment at Virtus. I quite enjoy country music. Much to my disappointment. Sucked in everyone. Much to my angst. Bit of Luke Combs but I also don't hate a bit of Drake or something like that, depending on the mood. You are a redneck. Yeah, is that like a dick because I got red hair or, shit dick, get me one. Favourite book?
Oh, here you go, Lucky's Favourite one, I don't have one. Not a big reader. Don't have the attention span to sit and read. Don't read for leisure? No, no don't, read for function. Favourite podcasts? I nearly said not Virtus. For those who don't know, Lucky's still standing in the room, so a little drive by here in there. Podcasts? Howie Games? It's quite nice. No, I also listen to some golf podcasts and some stuff like that. Typically not around learning, just in the car, put it on, don't have to really concentrate too. Yeah. Okay, I'm coming over for dinner.
What would you cook me? For you specifically, probably a nice steak probably, you know, Mr Meat Guy over here. What's on the side? What do you want? Hey, you're cooking. You're running the show. Mashed potato, broccolini, probably where I'm going with it. Okay. Is that too green for you? All about it? Nah. Nothing wrong with some vegetables. Bit of barbecue. Good. Barbecue guy. Yeah, all for it. You got a meat smoker yet? I do have a meat smoker. Nice. You made any good meat yet? Well, as I said about our podcast, you can't make good barbecue without making bad barbecue first.
So, we've failed a few times, we've had success, but... You're saying our podcast is bad? Not yet. Where are we at? Favourite place in the world? Are we talking location or... Favourite place in the world? If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be? At home. Just in my own little world. Yep. I like my own space. Yeah. Nice. Nice. Hey, circling back to that dinner, three people in the world you can invite to that dinner. Who are you inviting? Uh... Who am I inviting? Elon Must. Musk. Elon Musk. I'm gonna go with Joe Rogan and George W.
Bush, the first one. Just to see what the hell would happen when you put three of those people in the room together. Three interesting cats. Yep. And just sit back, whiskey in hand and just watch. Dream travel destination, which is really similar to your favourite place in the world? I'm tipping your dream travel destination, isn't your bedroom? No, it's not. I wouldn't mind going back to America. Yep. For a work-related trip or just for leisure this time? That wasn't the question. Move on. No, any. Work, leisure, you name it. If you could teach everyone in the world one thing, what would it be?
Humility. Perfect day off? What's it look like? A walk in the morning, coffee, out for lunch, out for dinner somewhere. Something that I don't have to cook. That's a pretty normal day for you though, isn't it? Doesn't have to be extravagant. What was your first car? Commodore VZ Wagon. Was it a shitbox? No, it served me well. I never saw your old car. It served me well. It served me well. Got you from A to B? Yep. First job? I worked at Subway for a week. Why'd you quit? It's not for me. That's like me and KFC.
Not to be. I think concrete laboring. I got three jobs in a week. Concrete laboring, subway and furniture and remover slash delivery. And you went through them all in a week? No, no. I sticked with the concreting and the furniture. Got rid of the subway pretty quick. Making sandwiches for douchebags is not for me. First sporting team? Played for or supported? Supported. I'm tipping. My whole family's Richmond. Richmond. Good. Yeah. First concert? Ed Sheeran. Nice. Underrated. Dream concert. Underrated? Ed Sheeran? That's one of the worst comments I've ever heard. Underrated amongst my circles anyway. What do you mean?
You don't get Ed Sheeran in the middle of nowhere in Hamilton? We hasn't made his way down there yet. You've just called Ed Sheeran underrated. I've heard it all. Hasn't come to perform at the Hamilton PAC. I've heard it all. I've heard it all. Dream concert. I've heard it all. Dream concert. I've rattled him. What was that one? Dream concert. You can see anyone anywhere. Luke Holmes. Texas. Pet hate. Lots. Dumb people. Fair enough. People that just do stupid things just drives me out the wall. Also pet hate. People that tell me their glutes aren't activated.
Yeah. If you fucking can stand up mate, your glutes are activated. That's all I need to know. Have you done your crab walks and monster walks and clam shells today? Don't go that high. Eucalypt bridges? Don't go that high. What sports teams do you follow? I'm a Boston guy, so Celtics, Red Sox. Celtics basketball, Red Sox baseball. Did you name your dog after all those teams? I did. I did. Really, really original for me. Packers for the NFL, not the Patriots. Is there a Boston NFL team? It's not, is there? Yeah, it's called the Patriots mate.
It's one of the biggest teams in the world. Anybody heard of him? Underrated probably in your mind. It's New England Patriots, isn't it? Where do you think New England is? I don't fucking know. This is a train wreck. This is a train wreck. When you were a kid, what did you want to be? Probably an athlete to be fair. Yeah, it didn't mean all the... Basketball or Footballer? Very early days I have a fond memory of wanting to be like an F1 driver, but I think every kid wanted to drive fast cars back then. Dangerous. Worst habit?
Snoring. Poor Amy. She's got the dogs as well to deal with so it's free of us. What do you wish every Virtus member knew? Humility. Going back to that again. On your phone, what two apps take up the most screen time? What do you want the most? Instagram and... Probably my mail I reckon. Email. Yuck. Yeah, it sucks. Most controversial opinion? I'm looking forward to this. Do you want a health and fitness one or do you want a life one? Anything. Go hard. Whatever it is. Don't hold back. I need to hold back. Nah, I don't need to hold back.
Ruffle feathers. Controversial opinion. Nothing is ever as important as you think it is. That's not controversial. It is because people don't like to hear what they're wrong with. What are you currently listening to? Music? Podcast? Anything? What? What's currently taking up your air space? Not a lot. I drive in silence most of the time. Much to everyone's disgust. My driving is reset time. Yeah, I'm really starting to value that and learn the importance of that. What are you currently watching? I actually haven't watched anything in so long. Do any shows? Movies? YouTube? I've been getting
home relatively late for work so I've been trying to put on Peaky Blinders but that's something I want to get into so I've watched a few episodes but not deep dived it. I'm not like lucky where I can have something on in the background and be doing five other things and still follow what's going on. If I do that it's like Brooklyn Nine and I don't have any more. Something I've seen like ten times. I haven't also watched the Obi-Wan series yet so that's next but I'm a guy who will wait until it all comes out and then I'll watch it back to back.
I can't watch it week to week. What grinds your gears? Sounds pretty similar to what is your pet hate Lachlan but what grinds your gears Mitchell? Some shit questions. What grinds my gears? Inconsiderate people. Also people that don't say thank you either let them cross the road. I just want to run them over. Just a bit of acknowledgement. Just a little. Raise your hand. Nod your head. Do something. Do you have a morning routine? No. I don't have a morning routine. I have a night routine which means I don't have to have a morning routine. A night routine is a morning routine.
Sure. But get out my stuff. Make my lunch for the next day. Set your day before it's um. Yeah. Most impactful piece of advice. The third time we've had this question. Don't be the smartest person in the room. Nice. I like that one. Don't know how I'm going in this room now though. Definitely down the bottom. Might be. There's a big going on. Why are you a coach? Because I failed as an athlete. Serious. If I did. Who in your world would make a great guest for the podcast? Anyone with different life experience. I thought you were going to say Jeff Deck.
Oh man. He'd make a great guest but for probably some of the wrong reasons. Let's get him on. Lastly, what happens when we die? Nothing. Lights are off. Agreed. And the lights are off here too. Thank god for that.
