Starting point is 00:00:00 People do some weird shit. Would you like to try a vape? Why would you take up something that is going to be addictive and expensive? I think for people. I'll tell you why. Yeah. Because you're young and stupid. Some things make more sense than others.
Starting point is 00:00:14 You mentioned that your goal was to be healthy, and I just don't know how you figure that's going to happen when you're ordering a chocolate mousse. No. You know, I had it in the car on the way home, and I didn't have a spoon. So I was like an armadillo trying to get ants out of a hole. Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood.
Starting point is 00:00:32 Being fingered is an awful sensation. You haven't been fingered by the right person. Goodness me. This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of bitches. Hi, it's Jenna. Please don't forget to include my name in the opener this season. I'm sorry. Ta-da!
Starting point is 00:00:50 Now, here's Mitch Chooley and Mitchell Coon. Well, hello, hello. Welcome back to the podcast. Mitchell Chooley's ditched me again this week. He's having his own little psychiatric recess, if you like. Original idiots will know what that means, so you know, we're wishing him well, but hey, third wheel price keeper Jenna's here as normal. Hi, I'm here. Hello. Yes, and of course
Starting point is 00:01:12 contraceptive diaphragm Sam is hanging around, so we got this covered, don't we? Oh, we'll make it work. We'll give it a whirl. You've got to talk really close to that mic, by the way. You've got to fucking deep throat it like me. Look. Yeah, I know what I'm doing. It's fine. Jenna, you know what I figured out?
Starting point is 00:01:27 You know how Sam had a bit of a hiatus from the podcast? Yes, yes. I realised that he only comes crawling back when he's single to try and pick up one of our skanky idiots. No, it's true. It's because he's been in sconce for the last couple of months and now he's single again. He's wanting to get his sexy voice out there, hoping he'll get some idiot puss. I didn't realise.
Starting point is 00:01:47 There's a pattern. It all makes sense. So if you haven't joined the Endured Idiots Facebook group, look, I'll chuck something out on there. Do you think that'll help me find a thirst trap? Well, I mean, good luck. It hasn't worked for Jenna or I, has it? We've not found our lifelong partners on this podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:02 But Sam's different. He's a different breed. Yeah, it's true. I've got to say, I walked in the building today and I was like, oh, God, I'm feeling a bit tired. Then I realised that you guys have been up since 4am. Yeah. And I'm like, shit, I'm not going to get any pity from them, am I?
Starting point is 00:02:16 Well, I mean, I came in, I've got a shaky hand and a red ball in it and I'm like, this will be fine. I'm fine. No, I hate that feeling when you're tired and you're trying to counteract it with like uppers But that's not going to achieve anything You just need to sleep darling If you need to nap
Starting point is 00:02:29 Halfway through this podcast By all means Look that sounds so good It's nice and warm in this room It's quiet Yeah the aircon in this room Does make it feel like we're in Or lack thereof I should say
Starting point is 00:02:39 The lack of aircon Makes it feel like We're kind of in Fiji And we could just Be lying on the pool Fiji yes Bullah There is something about a warm room That makes you more sleepy I'm not into it I don't need this makes it feel like we're kind of in Fiji and we can just be lying on the pool. Yes, bula. There is something about a warm room that makes you more sleepy.
Starting point is 00:02:48 I'm not into it. I don't need this. Anyway, I mean, you guys aren't new here. You know how this works, don't you? Yeah, pretty much. You tell me, Jenna, how do we start the show the same way every week? With an idrim each. And is it just me each, correct?
Starting point is 00:02:59 Yeah. And what are they? Something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. We could. Thank you so much. She actually listens. I'm hoping you've both bought one. I don't want to be doing idjams on my own.
Starting point is 00:03:12 I have brought one. Excellent. Why don't you go first, Mitchell? No, hang on. I just realised. Have you ever done an Is It Just Me? No, I haven't. What?
Starting point is 00:03:21 He's an Is It Just Me virgin. Oh, my God. I didn't realise. Three years of the podcast, I've not done a single one because no one has asked me. I just realised because Jenny's done like a few. She doesn't do them every week. It's usually Mitch and I, but wow, okay. Oh, my God, he's a virgin.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Wow. We'll have to save that cherry for later, I think. We'll pop that cherry later. I'm nervous. I just want to get over and done with. I don't want to think about it. I just want to get it out of my system. Do you want to go first?
Starting point is 00:03:44 No, no, no, it's okay. I'm happy for that to think about it. I just want to get it out of my system. Do you want to go first? No, no, no. It's okay. I'm happy for that to happen. No, I'm shy. Oh, he's letting us finish first. What a gentleman. I know, but your first itch is always nerve wracking. By the second, you're used to it.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Just go slow. All right, should I go first? Let's do it. All right. Here's Bradley. Is it just me or? Have you ever actually bought something from an infomercial on TV? Yes I bet you have
Starting point is 00:04:10 Really? Yes I have You know how they've got those 24-7 shopping channels Like TV, what is it? I was going to say TVNZ but that's not it TVSN? Yes, TVSN So close
Starting point is 00:04:19 Those sorts of things that are just running all night And they're even on Channel 9 and Channel 7 in the mornings. Have you ever actually bought something from them? Yes. What did you get? Remember the Snuggies, I think they're called? Oh, yes. Remember?
Starting point is 00:04:32 It was like a blanket with arm holes. Yeah. Yeah. With like a head. It was like a historical Udi. Yes. Snuggies walked so Udis could run. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Yeah. The only things I've fallen for were Proactive, which is... Oh, yes. I did go for Proactive when I was younger as well. Yes, yes. Isn't it fucked? It's horrific and it bleached my skin. What celebrity endorsements got you over the line?
Starting point is 00:04:54 Jessica Simpson. Right. What? I think mine was Katy Perry, but they also had, like, Justin Bieber and shit on there. Yeah. And I remember recently Kendall Jenner was flogging it. I was like, oh, my God, is this still happening? They're still ripping off teenagers. I can't believe off teenagers it's called pimply little fucks and
Starting point is 00:05:08 the thing is there were like five different bottles and they never mentioned on the ad that proactive bleach is the fuck out of everything absolutely and will actually make your skin drier than a nun's mort yes they don't mention that and then when you actually make the call they will say by the way they will try and upsell you they'll say by the way yeah this will be dry and awful for your skin so we you might want to buy the proactive branded moisturizer as well it is that it was horrible i also fell for the ab circle pro oh no i did want one of those i don't think i actually got it off the infomercial though i got a used one off gumtree yeah but you were inspired by it i was fuck they're boring what do you even do in that i can't even picture it you know the ones do you not know what they are no oh hang on i'll find it it's like god how would you even explain it
Starting point is 00:05:54 jenna you just swivel you just it's literally just moving is it one of those things that you like plunge to the wall suction cup into the wall and you just like hover there no nothing like that here we go this is a real challenge now you just put your it to the wall, and you just, like, hover there? No, nothing like that. Here we go. This is a real challenge. You just put your knees on the pads, and then you just kind of swivel. Excellent.
Starting point is 00:06:12 What is that achieving? Well, they're like, it's so easy, and you can lose weight. Yeah, but you look like an idiot while you're doing it. You feel like one, too. And it's like, they say it's so easy, but it's also really boring. I was just swivelling on this stupid fucking thing. No, but, I mean, you can do anything while you do it you can watch tv you can talk to your family you really can't because that motherfucker's loud it's like
Starting point is 00:06:32 it was so disappointing and do i have abs no yeah no i don't do i still have pimples yes yes i do rip off the weirdest thing about the Proactiv is that, because I'm mostly out of LA, not in or out, but whenever you go through any major mall in America, there'll just be these vending machines for Proactiv. Have you ever seen this? Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:57 And it's just filled with these products. You get your refills, you get your thing. They've got, like, a little video screen showing loops of Justin Bieber going, you know, I'm 12 here and, you know, my skin's glued up immediately. I think I saw it at LA airport or something. You know what? That would make sense, yeah. It's just random.
Starting point is 00:07:12 I did make a prank call the other night. Sam was there. I hate to admit what time it was, but I was a bit tiddly and thought it would be funny to call TVSN. Oh, my God. But turns out out of hours they're not selling things, so they had to take my number and name and stuff and call me
Starting point is 00:07:28 back about, what the hell was I trying to buy? I can't even remember. No, it was a massaging bed. They looked dope, to be fair. I want one. It's one of those things that just vibrate. They don't actually massage you. You just lie in it and then you just kind of and that's it. Yeah, and I decided to call at like 3am or something.
Starting point is 00:07:43 And they took my name and number, never called me back. Never called me back. That's so bad. And you seem so keen. Who do you reckon is actually watching those TV channels at fucking 3 a.m. apart from me? Me. And actually making a call?
Starting point is 00:07:55 Oh, no. Surely not. There's got to be some very sad, bored housewife or some dude that's like, come home from a night out, which is mostly me. It's my favorite thing to do is to just sit there and just cycle through them at 3 o'clock in the morning. I get sucked in. I really do.
Starting point is 00:08:10 They're so inconsistent with the accents though. One minute it's an American selling it to me, one minute it's a Kiwi. Yeah. And then there'll be an Australian voiceover come over just for the phone number. See, that's my favourite bit where it's just they go through the entire 30 minutes of the ad, they've got all these people
Starting point is 00:08:24 in Mall of America just being like, oh my God my god it changed my life you too can get this online now and it's just some guy very unenthusiastically going cool now and you can buy the thing one 300 but i love it when um you've got the kiwi accent selling finn lizzie and they're like fun or you know what we should do when mitch is back we'll get him to call one of these TVSN things as Dot Wiggins. Oh, my God. She's the sort of bitch that would be watching late night bloody infomercials 24-7. Absolutely. Anyway, who's next?
Starting point is 00:08:54 Who wants to do the edge? Are we going Jenna and then saving the virgin to last? Is that how this is going to work? Wait, I've got to leave myself up first. You're right. Okay. Let's do it. Is it just me does soggy wheat bix deserve more respect
Starting point is 00:09:09 no absolutely not so are you when you do have wheat bix are you having those hard no you have you have a very short window you go from it just being something that will destroy your entire palace yes yes and then you have it for about, I think the pocket is 90 seconds. It's a minute and a half. And during that minute and a half, they're absolutely gorgeous. I love it when it's just slightly soggy, but they're still in their shape. They haven't started to, you know. No, no.
Starting point is 00:09:37 All right then. Disagree. Sounds like it is just you. I want them soggy. I want it to look like cereal. It doesn't look like cereal. It looks like cat food. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:09:48 Which makes total sense that you'd resonate with that. Yes, but I like it when the milk sips in, so it's soggy. And I'm sorry, like, even when you were kids, we taught the North, South, East, West as never eat soggy Weet-Bix. Yes. I couldn't agree more. It's just disrespectful. Have you ever tried to wash up a bowl with fucking dry Weet-Bix. Yes. I couldn't agree more. It's just disrespectful.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Have you ever tried to wash up a bowl with fucking dry Weet-Bix on it? Oh, yeah. Have you ever tried to wash that bastard? It's like concrete. No, no, no. That's where I think soggy Weet-Bix. So you're slurping up every last soggy bit, are you? I'm licking the plate. Like a cat.
Starting point is 00:10:19 No, no. Case in point. Absolutely not. Case in point. Yes. No, it just resembles and there's something about the texture of soggy wheat because it reminds me of chunder. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:29 No, don't. It's skewing a bit vom. No, it's not. It is. No, it is. No, don't you dare put that in my head. Do you know who else eats vomit? Cats.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Oh, God. No, that's dogs. Anyway, close enough. Dennis is an animal from way back. That's what we can ascertain from that. No, it really does have like a cat vomit thing texture to it. Yes. And there's a colouring, everything about it.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Be quiet. You're both wrong. No, you think about that while you're just gobbling down your soggy Weet-Bix. I'm not thinking about that. I'm thinking about how delicious it is. It's not even delicious. It is. Have you added a bit of honey or something?
Starting point is 00:11:01 Yeah, honey. Oh, gorgeous. Yeah, honey. And it's soggy. Yeah. I used to add so much brown sugar to my Weet-Bix to the point where there's no way they were healthy. No fucking way. You have to add things to it.
Starting point is 00:11:11 I'm sorry. Mum was always pushing the bananas on me. No. Like, I'll have a banana and Weet-Bix. I'm like, in what world do they coexist? They just don't correlate at all. But even in the ads and stuff, they have like strawberries and bananas. No, thanks.
Starting point is 00:11:24 No. I don't know what Brett Lee's doing with his, you know, I'm going to have my 17 Weet-Bix But even in the ads and stuff, they have like strawberries and bananas. No thanks. No. No. I don't know what Brett Lee's doing with his, you know, I'm going to have my 17 Weet-Bix and half a bowl of fruit and a fruit salad buffet. Yeah. Like what are you doing with this? I know. It just doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 00:11:37 And the whole how many do you eat? Shut up. I used to think when, you know, the up and goes. Yeah. They would always market them as the same nutrients as two Weet-Bix of milk. And I'm like, just eat your Weet-Bix. Just eat it. Stop fucking showing off.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Look how much more expensive they are. Yeah, exactly. Just sit down for your 90 seconds or whatever during that window and eat your fucking Weet-Bix. You know those girls that get on the bus where they're up and go? And I'm like, shut the fuck up. Stop acting like you're so busy. I know. You're so on the go.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Also, it is a bus thing, isn't it? Yes. And up and go is very intrinsically bus. Yes. Absolutely. Very much so. All right, I think we need a drumroll for this, though. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Okay. All right. We'll go slow. Oh, no. Is it time? Mm-hmm. And the time's come. His inaugural, is it just me?
Starting point is 00:12:21 Just take it easy. And if it gets too much, we can stop. It's fine. We can just cuddle. That's quite nice, actually. I know you're tired. You'll fall asleep in my arms. No, that won't happen.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Okay, here to Bradley. Is it just me? Does make-up for men need to be more normalised? Oh, God. I think so. Here's the reason I say this, right, is that as the token straight on this show... You're trying to be woke. Because as if someone like me is going to go,
Starting point is 00:13:00 no, just you. Makeup's not for blokes. But I feel like such a pretty angel the moment i get to put on any kind of concealer or foundation yeah just it's the first couple of times i've done this for any kind of on camera thing or anything i've had to do where does your face get really fucking shiny like mine yeah no it's no no i just glow yeah i brought my little my little powder for today otherwise i look like's great. Otherwise, I look like a shiny bastard. And I immediately realise why women of the world will go out of their way to doll themselves up before they go outside.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Because the moment that you take all of that shit off and you realise what your face actually looks like without it all, you're just like, oh, okay, never again. I'm just going gonna wear this for the rest of my life yeah that's the thing i try not to wear it too often because if i wear it all the time then i won't ever look especially good like if i go out i just look the same as normal if i'm wearing makeup every day but it's like a special occasion if i pop a bit of face on i'm like damn bitch look at you you're gorgeous yeah I remember
Starting point is 00:14:05 one time my brother who you know Jenna he's such a dope he's like the dopiest straight guy ever um I was driving him to school and I had some tinted moisturizer and he goes what's this and I was like put it on and he he put it on the tinted moisturizer that's all it was like a bit of baby cream or something not even full face and then he pulls down the sun visor with a little mirror on it and looks at himself and goes, oh. Oh, imagine how hot I'd be if I actually tried. And I was like, yeah, and here I am trying my darndest every bloody day. This still will not work and everyone still says you're the hot cooms.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Fuck you. But this is the thing. The moment, because I get probably a cumulative five hours of sleep a week because I'm just that bitch. And with these dark circles, the moment that I'm able to take that away, I'm just like, oh, what a moment. I really thought that my dark circles would kind of vanish when I stopped working early hours doing bloody shift work.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Nah, they're still there. They're clutching on for dear life. They're a part of me now. I've accepted it. Yeah, it was wishful thinking on my part as well. As soon as it got out of that, I'm just like, I'm just going to use every face product that I could possibly imagine. It really is so lame, but it is quite,
Starting point is 00:15:16 it is worthwhile investing in a good skincare routine. Oh, absolutely. Aside from makeup, but just day-to-day skincare. Yeah. The amount of comments I've started getting only in the last six months being like, your skin looks amazing. And I'm like, thank God. It's because I've stopped using fucking Woolies Aveeno moisturiser
Starting point is 00:15:31 in that huge pump bottle that'll last me four years. Yeah. I just slap a bit of that on. But no, I love my nightly skincare routine now. It's gorgeous. It's very important. Yeah, I feel like I'm glowing even though I'm absolutely not. Everyone tells me, you look really well.
Starting point is 00:15:43 And I'm like, I'm not. I just look it. Is it just me? Got something on your mind? Hit up at couple of mitches on Instagram to get yourself on the show. Yep, that's right. Whatever's on your mind, hit us up. You can come on the show as a caller.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Just let us know or just send us a voice message. Totally up to you. Today's Is It Just You just you come from let me check i forgot to bloody guys i haven't actually had to use the buttons myself in a studio in a long time i've been relying on mitch for three years and it's like all of my radio training went out the window i can't remember how to use anything oh here we go it's from bloody mon here's what mon has to say hi guys my name is monica i love the podcast my agent is is it just me or uh cubes the most underrated shape or 3d shape um there is because i was just watching a instagram reel of a woman who went to pastry school in France and they were making marshmallows and instead of the marshmallows being this sort of sphere cylinder type of thing it was in a cube
Starting point is 00:16:56 and I thought oh it's so cute so I was wondering are cubes underrated? Because to be honest, cubes are the most adorable little thing. They are literally, I think, like the cats of the animal kingdom. So, yeah. Just a nice lady who loves a cube. Can we backtrack a bit? Why are you going to pastry school to make marshmallows? Yeah, that's a weird choice. Oh, God, people like you, Jenna, are no fun.
Starting point is 00:17:30 There's no need to nitpick. She's just enjoying her cube marshmallows. I am picturing a cube marshmallow, and it does sound quite fun. Yeah. It depends how, like, how, you know, neatly cut is it. It has to be neatly cut. So, yeah, that's Mon coming in with her lukewarm tape i do i do enjoy drawing cubes they're fun yeah like 3d you know where you draw the two boxes and
Starting point is 00:17:52 put the little arrow like that no no that's nerdy that's they used to try and get us to do that in maths i remember but i mean there's other cube confectionaries you've got what are they called the honeycombs? You know the chocolate coated honeycombs? Yeah, yeah. I hate them. Yeah, yeah. Or like a Turkish Delight.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Not the chocolate. No. Like the actual Turkish Delight. They're cubes. The yummy ones. They're quite cute. You've got the licorice cubes, which are for no one. They sound putrid.
Starting point is 00:18:17 They are. And they've always got the multicoloured thing. They've got the pink and the purple or whatever it is. No good. They're very old people. Yeah, it's very much, you know, I've just seen my great grandmother and she's on the way out, but she gave me this before she died kind of vibe. Yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:18:29 I can't believe I was like kind of shitting on Mons, is it just you? But I've got so much to say about cubes now that I'm thinking about it. We should have done a top five. The top five cubes. Dice. Yeah. Yes, yes. A Rubik's Cube.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Absolutely. The Nissan Cube. Yes. Which are fucking hideous. Have you seen them? They're so ugly. Oh, my God. They're the most putrid cars ever. I'llik's Cube. Absolutely. The Nissan Cube. Yes. Which are fucking hideous. Have you seen them? They're so ugly. Oh, my God. They're the most putrid cars ever.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I'll Google it. Hold on. Nissan. I've always wanted to drive a Cube. It's great. If you can't find a car park, you just put it in your pocket. Here, look. Nissan Cube.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Isn't that vile? Oh, my God. They're so ugly. And also, I hate to be that guy, but it's actually not a Cube. It's a rectangular prism, for fuck's sake. Yeah. With a bonnet as well. That's a rectangular prism for fuck's sake. With a bonnet as well. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:19:08 They should have committed. It's kind of like Brum had some kind of horrible incestual moment. Oh my God. Brum went in the crusher. Oh poor Brum. What about sugar cubes? They were sort of outlawed because they were unhygienic. Yes, I just think of horses. You know on the saddle club they would give them sugar cubes.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Did they? Yeah. I remember watching Saddle Club, but I don't have that many vivid memories of it, I've got to tell you. There's something got to be very satisfying, though. It's only ever happened to me once or twice. I've stayed in a real bougie hotel, kind of like an old world thing. They bring out a little cup of sugar cubes and the little tiny tongs
Starting point is 00:19:40 and you pop that in your tea. Oh, the tongs. See, that makes sense. Yeah. Yes, the little tongs. Well, think of all the trees that are being murdered for the paper in the sugar sachets instead of just the cubes. No, exactly, right?
Starting point is 00:19:51 The only time I've used sugar cubes is like making absinthe. You know how you set it on fire on top of the absinthe and you drop it in or something like that? I think we all should appreciate cubes more. Yeah. Yeah. I really think we've milked this, haven't we? We didn't even think of the top five cubes.
Starting point is 00:20:09 The sugar cube, the Rubik's cube, the dice, the Nissan cube. We've only got four. Come on, one more cube. Oh, no, another cube. Cubes, cubes, cubes. Oh, no, a cube, a cube. Wow, there really aren't many. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Another cube. We've really rinsed the whole cube thing, haven't we? Cube, cube. Wow, there really aren't many. Yeah, no. It's another cube. We've really rinsed the whole cube thing, haven't we? Cube, cube. No, I will not. I refuse to move on until we name it fifth. We need to. No, I need another cube. There's someone that's listening to this podcast that is just like a real cube lover.
Starting point is 00:20:37 That's just like, how very dare you? You only got four. Yeah. They're yelling at the podcast. Like they've got one on their mind, just yelling it. Okay, it's come to this. I'm Googling need to know i need to know cube things that are cube shaped things that cube ice cube ice cube is good yeah fuck they're iconic and what kind of dog doesn't actually refill the ice cube tray after emptying it no you have to low lives absolute low lives also side note can we talk about the giant ice
Starting point is 00:21:05 cube thing that you can get from kmart what have you got have you seen these where it's just like it's it's a normal ice cube like philly uppie thingy that's made out of silicone but they're massive oh yeah they're the ones i've got oh yeah so good really oh sorry that drink bottle was open when i started shaking to demonstrate that i've got me fat ice cubes in here one of my favorite things if you go somewhere that's very, very uppity, they'll bring out like a drink or a whiskey or something like that and it's got an ice cube in it that's got the branding of whatever place that you're in.
Starting point is 00:21:33 So it'll just have the name of the restaurant on the cube and I'm like, oh, it's the little touches. It's the little things. Oh, my God, we're getting, is it just me, ice cube tracks? Yes, we are. I insist. I insist. That can be Mon's prize.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Make sure you hit up,, your prize Mon as well, at couple of images on Instagram. Right now, let's have a quickie, darling. Let's have a quickie. Yeah, just a quick hit of celeb entertainment news. Obviously, something near and dear to my clit is that Kath and Kim, the revival, the 20-year special, we've had our first look at that. It looks amazing.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Yeah. I was actually pleasantly surprised at what I saw because I thought, and I've gone on record saying, no, the characters, those actors can't revive those characters because they're too old. Like they're up in their 60s now, I think. Jenna Googled that. Yeah. I don't want to besmirch them. But I thought they'd be way too old. Like they're up in their 60s now. I think Jenna Googled that. I don't want to besmirch
Starting point is 00:22:25 them, but I thought they'd be way too old. And particularly Gina Riley is Kim. I was blown away at how young she managed to look. Cause Kim's meant to be 25 and this woman is how old Jenna? Gina Riley is 61. Jesus. There we go. And they don't look that different. They look a bit tired around the eyes, but that's it. I did notice that Kim had a giant pair of sunnies on. I thought that was quite clever. Yeah. Just trying to disguise the fact that she's aged somewhat.
Starting point is 00:22:54 But I don't know what the actual reunion is going to be yet because they've obviously shot new scenes, which is nice. Yeah. And, by the way, I saw all the comments were saying, oh, I thought the house was demolished. Where did they film this? Sam, can you back me up and say that it's clearly green screened? Oh, yeah, no, 100%.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Have you seen the sneak peek? And it's also done, it's not done badly, but it's not done well. It's just done badly enough that I can tell it's green screened. I'll play the little sneak peek for you. Obviously, you can't see it now, but just fucking Google it or something. But here it is. The event that happens once in a lifetime. I have news.
Starting point is 00:23:30 The Kath and Kim 20 years celebration. Hello, Christmas. Don't you two look flies? Don't know how, but Kimmy's done it. Yep, we're officially stanky rich. They've got money to burn and are ready to live the high life. Yeah, it's unusual it is not. The new special event, Kath and Kim, Our Effluent Life,
Starting point is 00:23:51 coming to 7 and 7+. It's just surreal. See, green screen, right? Yeah, 100%. 100%. And I was a bit surprised that this My Effluent Life special is coming to Channel 7 because I really thought they could easily pull a Netflix deal out of that.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Oh, yeah. Like, Kath and Kim's on Netflix now. And you will not believe how alive and thriving the Kath and Kim fan base is. Are you guys in the Facebook group? Yes. No. It's the best group out there. It's the Kath and Kim Appreciation Society.
Starting point is 00:24:18 And it's always popping off at any hour of the day. And I think it's because it's on Netflix now that they've had a resurgence. Yeah. So that's good had a resurgence. Yeah. So that's good. I like that. Yeah. Like when I was in school, when it was actually on television, I was that fucking weird kid that watched Captain Kim
Starting point is 00:24:31 and had no one to talk to about it. See? Nobody even knew what it was. No one understood the references when it was actually on air. But now it's had a resurgence 20 years later. Yeah. And I have a feeling that this My Affluent Life special they're doing, there'll be like new scenes like that, new bits and pieces,
Starting point is 00:24:49 but it's obviously not going to be a new episode. No, guaranteed they're going to do like a cold open or something where they'll come in, they'll do a scene, and then the rest of it will be like friends where they sit around and go, now I remember 20 years ago when we first started and it'll be that for 40 more minutes. I don't reckon it'll even be that. I reckon it'll be like a 20 to 1.
Starting point is 00:25:05 Yeah. And they'll introduce each grab as characters. In character, I should say. Yeah. They'll be like, oh, Kim, remember when we went to the High Coolum? Throw to that. How grim. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I do think that it could have been done much better. Yeah. I reckon it should have been on a Friends reunion scale, but, you know, apparently Kath and Kim isn't quite as successful as Friends, which I think, you know, do your own research. That can't be right. You can't get James Corden, bring in Mitch Sturey, do a whole thing. There's no way.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Do you know how much I would be furious if he was hosting the Kath and Kim reunion? Because he's never even watched it. Yeah. He told me recently that he's watched a episode or an episode. That's all he needs. No, that's not good. He'll be fine. No. No way. I'd be fuming. You think James Corden has watched a episode or an episode. That's all he needs. No, that's not good. He'll be fine. No.
Starting point is 00:25:45 No way. I'd be fuming. You think James Corden has watched a single episode of Friends? Oh, God, yeah. Nah. He's a loser. Of course he has. He's pathetic.
Starting point is 00:25:55 I actually don't hate James Corden. It's just fun to get on the bandwagon. Yeah. Is James Corden the new Nickelback? Where it's like he's not even bad. It's just culturally normal to bag him out. I feel like he is. It's not that – like he's not even bad. It's just culturally normal to bag him out. I feel like he is. It's not that – because he's actually insanely talented.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Yeah. Like the fact that, you know, he was in Cats. Oh, don't bring that up. No. I think it was Cats. It was the whole thing about the car getting towed for Carpool Karaoke. People just hated him for that. The fact he's in everything for some reason.
Starting point is 00:26:23 Yeah. Like, I get it, but I like him and the show. But no, I wouldn't be bringing up the Cats thing. If I were him, I'd strike that from the resume. It's like Kyle and Jackie O hosting Big Brother. Let's just not talk about it. We'll pretend that never happened.
Starting point is 00:26:38 And also, this is not so much celeb news, but it's more like a homegrown star, if you like. We're all familiar with Alan Seulia, aren't we? Yes. Oh, Alan. I'm surprised you are, Sam, actually. Yeah, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:26:51 You're not? No, I just went with it. Oh, okay, great. Well, he's one of those people where if you don't know him by name, like guaranteed you would have seen one of his videos from years ago, though. Hold on, let me Google him. You'll know his face. Alan.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Okay. T-S-I-B-U-L-Y-A. Sebulia. You'll know him. He does videos like this. So this is Rich Kids of Sydney. I actually live in Bellevue Hill. So I guess you can call me a Bellevue Hill beauty.
Starting point is 00:27:19 That's what my parents call me. Well, you know what they say. If you live in Double Bay, you're probably getting double the pay. So yeah, my dad's definitely getting that. Yeah, I've actually been to the Western suburbs, I think about once. Yeah, because it was such a long way away. I think I must have thought I was in Hunter Valley, which is the wine capital of Australia. Yeah, the West didn't seem to have any wineries. So, yeah, I wouldn't recommend. Yeah, so that's the Alan Sibillia that we all would be familiar with.
Starting point is 00:27:50 I'm sure. Give him a Google. You'll recognise the face. Yeah. So he was, like, huge. He was always making viral videos all over your news feeds constantly. And then what would you say, Jenna? That was, like, 2016, 2017?
Starting point is 00:28:03 Yep. I think 2018 too, maybe. His prime was probably 2017. Yeah. I'd say so. And so Jenna and I actually used to work with him. And so, you know, he'd come to team drinks and stuff. He was one of our colleagues. But then outside of that, he was also making all his own videos.
Starting point is 00:28:18 And he was also doing a law degree at the time. Yes, he was at university too. Yeah. And then he just vanished. See, that's why I was like I couldn't place him because it's been years. It has. Any of that. It has been years.
Starting point is 00:28:31 And, you know, we all have creative slumps. I can go a month or two without posting much. But he literally vanished. And it got to the point where we were actually a little bit concerned. Yeah, it was concerning. It was very concerning. Because, yeah, he used to be a colleague of mine and Jenna's. I was like, I've got his number.
Starting point is 00:28:46 I'll give him a ring. This number has been disconnected. And I was like, oh. And so I messaged him on Facebook just being like, oh, hi, old friend. How's things? Nothing. And that was like 2019, I think. Did he just go on sabbatical to Croatia or something and just decide he was going to
Starting point is 00:29:01 become a hermit? I don't know. I really don't know. And then he did post a couple of bits and pieces on Instagram in 2020. Yes. Like he posted one video and then he did that blackout tile thing that everyone was posting. Yes.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Because that was his last post for a long time. And so he went most of 2020, all of 2021, and then up until literally last week, of 2022 not posting a thing see all of that kind of gives me kidnapped by the cartel kind of vibe seriously i'm not kidding but we were concerned because um mitch and i we were gonna call him on the podcast because at this point i hadn't realized his number was disconnected we were gonna call him on the podcast and just be like alan where where have you been how are are you? What are you up to? Just doing a little, you know, check in.
Starting point is 00:29:47 And I thought, oh, I won't call him out of the blue. I'll check with one of our friends, one of our mutual friends who's a bit closer to Alan than I ever was. And so I said to her, oh, we're thinking of calling him. And she said, no, babe, don't do it. Don't do it. It's too touchy. Just don't go there. And I was like, what the fuck's happened?
Starting point is 00:30:02 That made things even worse. I was like, is he in prison? Yeah. Where is he? Is Alan behind bars? Because I also thought, oh, maybe because he's studying to be a lawyer. Yeah. Maybe he burnt out or maybe he, you know, finished the degree and is now trying to be taken seriously as a lawyer.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Like he can't be posting bullshit on the internet. But in that case, he probably would have wiped his history. Exactly. And so basically it was this big mystery whatever happened to alan sabulia and i was chatting with a friend about it one of the girls we used to work with jenna and i was like his numbers disconnected he's not chatting on facebook the only communication that's left is the email address in his instagram bio and so we were like let's do it let's email him so i sent an email and i said hi old friend just Just checking in.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope you're well. Miss you. Whatever. It was very lovely. I wasn't prying for information or anything. Yeah. And then the next day he messaged that friend I was with and said, hey, I've had an idea
Starting point is 00:30:57 for a musical comedy skit that I want to do. Will you help me shoot it? And I was like, he may have ghosted me, but I have a feeling that it was my beautiful, kind, encouraging words that lulled him out of this deep creative slump. You changed his life. So I'm taking full credit. I'm taking full credit. And this was a month or so ago.
Starting point is 00:31:18 And then last week, finally, the musical comedy skit arrived. It was literally a music video. The song's on Spotify too. And it's called Why Did You Unfollow? Here's a little listen. You haven't viewed my stories every time. Why did you unfollow? Now I feel so hollow.
Starting point is 00:31:40 I might be sad today and tomorrow. Why did you unfollow? Yep, so that's his comeback And you will have me to thank Because, like I said, my beautiful email Checking in with him obviously inspired him to start creating again Yeah, no, absolutely 100%
Starting point is 00:31:53 Thank you, no, you're welcome No, absolutely It was so funny though Because like after being essentially missing Yeah, he was missing All the comments on that video were saying Alan, I'm so glad that you're posting again because you don't know how many times I've actually Googled if you died.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Yeah. Because there was no sign of life. Even if you're not making videos anymore, you think you might get the occasional Instagram story or something. And so, yeah, he just vanished. And thank God the mystery solved. Alan's back. He's alive.
Starting point is 00:32:20 He's alive. He's not in prison anymore. I still don't know what happened there. But if you've come back from like a two or three year blackout, wouldn't you do, like, a where I've been explanation? I would love that so much. Where's the hour and 20 minutes YouTube video about where I've been and here's my update?
Starting point is 00:32:37 Like, something. I would watch every second of that. Yeah. I want an expose on where Alan Sibulia has been. We should go full fucking Tara Brown on this. I wonder if he's got the same address because I've been to his house. We just rock up and go, what do you have to say? We interrogate him.
Starting point is 00:32:52 We do a press conference right out the front of his bloody Bondi home. I was talking to All Right Hey about it too and he goes, can you imagine how dramatic my comeback would be if I'd gone three years without posting? And I'm like, oh, my God, that's so true. He would never just post a video and not acknowledge the fact that he's been missing. Oh, my God. I need that expose.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Yeah. 100%. Not an expose. I don't want to pry into Alan's business, but I am very curious. I need some information. I want to know what the past few years have been like. Because what you don't want it to be, though, is you go really deep dive and you find out there's something really kind of a bit, like, something you don't, what you don't want it to be though is you go really deep dive and you find out that something really kind of a bit, like something you don't want to find
Starting point is 00:33:27 out. What I want is for him to say, oh yeah, no, I just decided that I was just going to throw my life away and just live in the Hamptons for the last five years with no phone or internet. I'd be like, oh, well, okay. Maybe he turned to the church. Yes. Well, I've become a Scientologist. Here's a pamphlet.
Starting point is 00:33:42 You're like, oh, well, thanks so much. No, look, I am curious, but at the end of the day, it's none of my business. All we know is that Alan's alive and well, and we're glad for that. He's back, darling. He's back. Is it just me? Listening on Spotify, don't forget to leave a five-star rating.
Starting point is 00:34:01 You're listening to Is It Just Me? Now, you might remember last week on the podcast, we were talking about the fact that Nicki Minaj's fans keep selling her shit on eBay. They found like a lost nail of hers and they found someone pulled a strand of hair out of her wig, popped it on eBay. The nail went for 55 grand.
Starting point is 00:34:19 That's ridiculous. People just kept bidding and bidding and bidding and it went for 55 grand. The strand of hair, not quite that much, but still 19,000 Australian dollars. What? Is a lot for a strand of hair. And Thierry decided that he would try and see if our fans are just as passionate
Starting point is 00:34:33 and would buy random shit from us. So we were celebrating the three-year anniversary last week. We popped some champagne. We signed the cork that came out of the champagne bottle. Thierry popped that on eBay. And would you believe there was quite the bidding war. And I'd like to welcome the winner of the bidding war. She won the used wine cork.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Her name's Kristen. Hello, darling. Oh, Kristen, well done. Very good. Thank you. Now, the first obvious question is what were you thinking? I don't know. All I know is I wanted it. You did and you got it
Starting point is 00:35:07 darling. So drum roll, let's reveal the total amount that it went for. Did it quite reach the 55 grand that Nuki Minaj fans are willing to pay? What did you pay Kristen? I paid $67. Oh my god, actually to be fair, way more than I thought it would go for. Right? Me too. I saw someone in the Facebook group say, oh, I wish it went for 69. That would be kind of funny. Oh, it would be good.
Starting point is 00:35:32 You couldn't chuck us two bucks, Kristen, for God's sake? I know. Someone kept out bidding me, and I, oh. Yeah, so at what point did you enter the bidding war? Like, what was your first bid? It was only $20 or something. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:47 See, that seems like an appropriate amount. Yeah. And then it went just like crazy. And then I said, I'm not going to go any more than $55. But you bloody did. You had to. And I did. You're a competitive bitch, I can tell.
Starting point is 00:36:01 I thought I've come this far. I need to win it. What do you do for work? Can I ask? Oh, I work in healthcare. Oh, so you've got money to burn. Is that right? Oh, not quite.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Not quite. Well, clearly you do. Well, look, obviously you've paid $67, which for a used wine cork seems a bit absurd. And so we were like, oh, we can't accept that money. It was Chiri's idea. He said, let's ask Kristen to pick a charity and we'll donate that $67. Oh, that's nice. Rather than taking it ourselves because it's just a used wine cork.
Starting point is 00:36:32 It would have gone in the bin, you know. It feels bad profiting from that. Absolutely. So have you got a charity in mind? I would love to pick Share the Dignity. Share the Dignity. Okay. Tell us about them.
Starting point is 00:36:44 They're the ones that collect the sanitary products for women. Oh, wonderful. Oh, that's fantastic. Love that. And I just think no one should ever have to go without necessities. So they hand them out to women that are in maybe homeless situations, domestic violence situations. I know they've set up things in high schools so school kids
Starting point is 00:37:10 can get free products. Okay, we love that. That's amazing. You know what, because we're not stingy either, we might just round it up to a cheeky hundred for share the dignity. Kristen, how do you feel about that? Why not? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:22 I think that's a great idea. I love it. What are you going to do with this bloody cork, by the way? I don't even know. Put it in pride of place somewhere. Yeah. Have you got a pool room? Obviously it'll go with all your other prized possessions.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Like a trophy. Exactly. Exactly. Have you got any of our other merch, like our mugs and stuff? No. Prizekeeper Jenna, send one Kristen's way, please. She can put the cork and the mug together. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:37:47 It'll be absolutely lovely. Kristen, you're absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for buying it. No problem. And thanks for listening, darling. We love you. Thank you. How good is she?
Starting point is 00:37:57 God love her. Yeah, it's amazing. That was lovely. I'm just reading what Share the Dignity do. This is actually amazing. They've sent over nearly 160,000 period products reading uh what share the dignity do this is actually amazing they've um volunteer they've sent over nearly 160 000 period products to remote indigenous communities they set up vending machines they do they've got over 6 000 people volunteering and uh people donate uh period
Starting point is 00:38:19 products to them as well okay this is amazing 3.8 million period products have been donated to them by other people. Oh, that's amazing. Oh, that's gorgeous. I love that. What's the website? Maybe any idiots listening might like to donate some period products as well. You can go to sharethedignity.org.au and register today. And they've got a whole October move for dignity thing that they're doing as well.
Starting point is 00:38:41 So go and check that out. Oh, cool. I love it. I love it. And as someone with zero dignity yourself, Sam, this must be really enlightening. Well, I need someone to share something with me, you know, at this point.
Starting point is 00:38:51 All right, we better get out of here, darlings, but thanks for listening to another episode of Is It Just Me? I'm sure Chiri will be back next week. If not, I guess he'll just be dead. Yeah. He'd have to be dead not to show up here. Exactly. How do you think Sam's first Is It Just Me went, Jenna?
Starting point is 00:39:04 I'm so proud of you. Yeah. You did so well. Well, I mean, to be fair, to show up here. Exactly. How do you think Sam's first is it just me went, Jenna? I'm so proud of you. Yeah. You did so well. Well, I mean, to be fair, I'm a little bit sore afterwards, but it's fine. That's normal. Second time round, you'll do so much better. Oh, you'll be walking funny for the next 24 hours. Just me?
Starting point is 00:39:19 Oh, no. What are you laughing at, Jenny? Anyway, don't forget to hit up at Couple of Mitches if you've got an Is It Just Me of your own. And those mugs that I mentioned, they're still for sale. So once you're on our Instagram, just head to the link in our bio to buy yourself one of those mugs. We're going to be shutting down that mug store soon,

Starting point is 00:40:12 This is our secret segment on the end. We pretend the show's done, keep talking shit. This bit is not planned, structured. Oh, God, you guys must be tired. You haven't napped this whole time, Sam. Do you want to go nine eyes? No, I need to. I'm having this moment where I've just, every two minutes I'm in flux. So I've got me Red Bull that has hit me to like a nice high
Starting point is 00:40:32 and then I'll immediately crash into just this little piece of sadness. I can actually see you've still got the shakes a little bit. Yeah, you're shaking. No, I'm fine. I'm so fine. What are you talking about? I feel like because you're such an old school radio guy, you're in this habit when there's a mic in front of you,
Starting point is 00:40:44 you think you have to be animated. I don't subscribe to that. So just relax. I can see your shoulders are tense. You don't have to perform like this. I'm always this tense. This is who I am as a person. Care less.
Starting point is 00:40:57 I should have brought my vibrator. Okay. Not my sexual one. I've got one of those back massages. Oh, they're so good. Yeah. I lost it. I've got one of those back massages. Oh, they're so good. Yeah. I lost it. I was handing it round.
Starting point is 00:41:07 When Sam was at my place the other night, I was handing it round to everyone there like it was a bong. Past the vibrator, the massager, everyone's having a whirl of their shoulders, and then it went missing. And I was like, who fucking flogged my shoulder vibrator? I'll be meaning to return that. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:41:19 You scumbag. Yeah. I've got to be honest. I've not used it for my shoulders at any point. Oh, for God's sake. It's what I'm saying. Yeah. I got to be honest. I've not used it for my shoulders at any point. Oh, for God's sake. It's what I'm saying. Single on the podcast. I need something.
Starting point is 00:41:30 And he's no longer a virgin. So there's that. Oh, yes. He's experienced ladies. Yeah. Congratulations on that. I'm sorry. I didn't hear what you said.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Can you repeat that? Oh, I said, what did I say? I have no idea. I'm glad that it was a precious memory for you guys too. What did I say? I have no idea. I'm glad that it was a precious memory for you guys too. What did I say? Oh, my God. I'm so – my COVID fog. My COVID fog.
Starting point is 00:41:51 What did I just say? Something about Sam being beautiful. I said he's no longer a virgin. Yes. Oh, yeah. No, I'm very excited about that. So he's very experienced, ladies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Well, you know, I just need a couple more guys, I guess, just to get my skill level up. Have you got any other – is it just me-me's-up-your-sleeve that you want to get off your clit? No. I forget I asked. Anyway, I have to go. So goodbye.
Starting point is 00:42:17 That was so aggressive. Goodbye. Where are you off to? I'm getting my eyebrows done. Oh, okay. I guess that's important. Yes, it is'm getting my eyebrows done. Oh, okay. That's nice. I guess that's important. Yes, it is.
Starting point is 00:42:28 It's very important. That's good. Fair enough. Thank you so much, everybody. No, you're right. Thanks for having me. No, thanks for doing it. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:42:35 See ya. Are you actually going to leave? Yeah. Oh, my God. Watch this, Sam. She's just going to dither. Yeah, I'm going. She still hasn't taken headphones off.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Nah. I'm taking my headphones off now. Yeah, all right. You don't have to. Just go. Get the Yeah, all right. You don't have to. Just go. Get the fuck out of here. You don't have to narrate the whole thing. Bye, Jenna.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Leaving now. Wait, I need to put my jacket on. Don't forget to send Kristen a prize, though. Oh, yeah, of course. Sorry. Nah, take your time. Sam, we're going to try and ignore that all this is happening over there. Nah, can we, though?
Starting point is 00:43:02 No, I don't think we can. No. She's making it so audible. Yeah. Okay. It's a lot of rustling. The loudest possible jacket. Yeah. Oh, for fuck's sake. No, can we though? No, I don't think we can. No. She's making it so audible. Yeah. Okay. It's a lot of rustling. The loudest possible jacket. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Oh, for fuck's sake. Oh, Jesus. Wait. Okay. My mum's like this. We've noticed that my sister and I talk about it all the time. We're like, mum's side of the family. They're such ditherers.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Yeah. They dither. And sometimes now that my sister's a mum, she's started to do it. And I'm like, you're dithering. She goes, fuck, sorry. Yeah. Okay. Bye. Bye, Jenna. Bye. She goes, fuck, sorry. Yeah. Okay. Bye.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Bye, Jenna. Bye. Bye. See you next week. See you. Have fun. Yeah. Actually, to be fair, is it just me?
Starting point is 00:43:34 Bye. Bye, Jenna. Get out. Anyway. Is it just me? Or do you ever have those moments where you know that you're ready to leave? Like you're done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:44 I find it all the time at work where I'm just like, I'm done. I don't need anything else. I'm just happy. Like everything's sorted. Yeah. But I will stay for a whole other hour just because just the idea of having to go somewhere, get on the train, get in your car, do whatever it is, just feels like so much effort. I'm more like that when it comes to leaving the house.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Yeah. Like I will do a little mental checklist. I'm like, I've got my bag. I've got my shoes on. I've got my keys. And yet for some reason, I feel like I'm not ready to leave yet. No. And I'm like, I don't know what I'm going to do.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Fuck. I did that. And I end up being late. And I'm like, okay, the train's about to leave. Yeah. If I leave now, I will make it. And yet I think I'll just get the next one. No.
Starting point is 00:44:24 I want to give myself a bit of dither time see i can't give myself options i have to leave it to the absolute last second otherwise nothing's gonna happen no i hate doing that yeah yeah although having said that it is an adhd thing where it's like if it's urgent i can get it done yeah i'll nail it but being prepared oh yeah no i'm exactly the same did you know how unprepared i was the first time i did my stand-up comedy shows i left it until like the month off to even start writing the bastard yeah it was so good in brisbane though it was the first time i've been off book oh yeah i didn't have to check my notes once i just remembered it oh look at you go which is like i shouldn't be applauded that's what i should be able to do from the get-go but i have a little color-coded cheat sheet on
Starting point is 00:45:02 the stage i didn't have to look at it once. That's good. Yeah. Yeah, no, I'm probably not as subtle as I think I am looking at it. I always go over for a glass of wine and I'm just like, I'm like, I haven't got my fucking glasses on. What's next on it, bro? See, that's why you've got to print it in like an A1 sheet. I know. Just have that just taped to the floor. I know, but that's super obvious.
Starting point is 00:45:22 No, I always enjoy it whenever I see a band and they've just got their lyrics just taped to the entire level of the floor. I know, but that's super obvious. No, I always enjoy it whenever I see a band and they've just got their lyrics just taped to the entire level of the floor. Yeah. Like every song in giant font. I went and saw Em Rosiano's comedy show recently. Oh, yeah. And she did not even try and hide the fact that she was referring to notes because she
Starting point is 00:45:39 had them sticky taped at the front of the stage. And I was up high so I could see the notes. And she would just openly say, hang on, where am I up to? And she'd like look at it and she'd kind of make it part of the act and I was like, maybe I should do that. Just instead of like trying to be subtle and like, yeah, I'm winging it, just be open and be like, oh, fuck, where am I up to? I like the fact that Em's become a bit of an advocate for ADHD.
Starting point is 00:46:00 Definitely. It's good. I admire that about her. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. There's a few people, Mia Freeman as well, she's like a late in life diagnosis yeah and I feel like I'm lucky because I got in in 2015 and got diagnosed and I feel like I don't want to say the word trend but I feel like now it's more common and spoken about and it's probably something people consider more. Maybe I'm ADHD.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Because apparently the process of getting diagnosed now is very lengthy. Oh, yeah. I got it done in a few weeks. No, no, no. I'm just starting my diagnosis journey. Are you? Yeah. And it's because of you.
Starting point is 00:46:36 There you go. Yeah. As soon as we've started talking about it more, I've gone, oh, shit. And then I talked to a bunch more of my friends. We're all starting to just, as soon as it became more talked about and also the symptoms that you exhibit are not just, oh, I'm a bit kooky. It's like, no, no, there's a whole thing here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:55 No, I spotted in you for the moment I met you. Oh, yeah. I was like, oh, look at him over there fucking hyper-focusing. I remember once we were working together on Kyle and Jackie O and my full-on mania kicked in. And that was a whole thing. And I know how to handle people when they're in mania. It is good when you're hyper-fixating to have someone around to be like,
Starting point is 00:47:17 you can cut that corner. Because I will fucking nitpick and like really, really, no one will thank me for it, like all the nitpicking I do when it comes to like editing or whatever. So, yeah. Also, speaking of leaving things to the absolute last minute, so I'm getting my hair done today.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Oh, you're getting a perm done? Yeah. A little bit of a, just a little bit of a fritz and a colour. For those who don't know, Sam has got Jesus-like hair. Yeah, I think everyone, this is the thing that I've noticed that people on the- With the fucking long hair, you're getting the ADHD.
Starting point is 00:47:47 You're just trying to be me, aren't you? You're going brunette for fuck's sake and you're going to put on a few kilos. You're going to be me. You're getting a lisp. No, but to be fair, when I met you, I did have short hair.
Starting point is 00:47:57 It was much shorter than it is now. You've actually outgrown me. Yeah. Fucking hell. I warned you at one point. I was like, no, I'm going for it. But also, this is like, this is a whole COVID thing.
Starting point is 00:48:05 Because I remember people saying on the Endure an Idiot group, oh, I didn't expect them to look like a Woodstock hippie, which I do. Yeah. But I'm trying to figure out whether I cut it all off or whether I go short. And by- When you say cut it all off, do you mean like buzz cut? No. Oh, God, no.
Starting point is 00:48:22 And short, do you mean still long, but not as long as it is now like a little bit more male to be fair like i just i want to go for like you know i don't know more top heavy that kind of thing this is all very visual yeah um but you want to look less like a woman just so you know you don't look like one at all thank you um but to be fair uh i'm making this decision when my appointment is in 20 minutes. Oh, okay. So... Are you going to be late? Yeah, so I'm going to have to go in a minute. But... Are you ditching me too?
Starting point is 00:48:52 What? You're ditching me too. Yeah. Well, I don't want to, but we've kind of just been sitting here having a yarn. Oh, all right. Well, don't let me fucking hold you off. I'm going to make a decision first. I'm going to make a decision first. do I go short or do I not?
