People do some weird shit. Television legend, Kerri-Ann Kennelly fell several metres from a trapeze while performing in the musical Pippit. Aaaaaah! Some things make more sense than others. Bring Pikes nurseries. What nurseries? Pikes. P-Y-K-E-S.

P-Y-A... K as in kill! P-Y-E-S. K-Y-A. K as in kill. K-Y-E. K! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Why is being alive so expensive? I'm not even having a good time. This is Is It Just Me?

Hosted by a couple of Mitches. What about me? Don't forget Chenom. Who? Now here's Mitch Curie and Mitchell Coons. Well, goodbye you. Oh, don't be like that. Hello you. Hello you for the last time.

Hello Mitchell. Oh, it's weird, it's weird. It's odd, it's bizarre. I am not feeling anything yet. I'm kind of numb. Are we in denial still? No, no. It's well and truly hit. Someone did suggest that we start with goodbye you instead of hello you, but I was thinking, does that make sense to say goodbye but then chat for more than an hour?

Oh, well that was, I didn't even read that. That was just my own little fun idea. I thought it would be cute. Yeah, no. I see what you did there, but it's not goodbye yet. We've got a long episode to go. We are trying to break the record for our longest ever episode today. Yeah, if it is, like your first time listening, it'd be very awkward if it is, but this is our final episode ever, 255. This is the end.

The record that we're trying to break, by the way, is an hour and 43 minutes. For those listening right now, you can already tell if we broke the record or not, but right now, we don't know if we'll make it. Surely we'll be able to do that easily. Yeah, this isn't gonna be a sobfest. It's's going to be fun. We've got look, we've got Amaretto Sours, Disarono have thrown us a little party. I know, God love them. I know we've got

balloons in here too. Our third wheel, prize keeper Jenna is currently dressed up as the Mona Jenna. She's got all those ridiculous costumes that so many of our listeners sent us where you just put your head through the hole and you're the Mona Lisa. I finally got it. I'm the Mona Jenna. Yeah, Jenna, you look gorgeous. Thank you so much. It actually looks very uncomfortable. Like the head hole is quite small. It's gonna rub against your chin.

If you get uncomfy, please don't feel like you need to wear that for the whole episode. No, I feel comfortable in this as the Mona Jenna. I've got Jenna's side angle and her side profile is so severely hunched because she needs to make sure that the frame fits in the camera shot.

Please make sure you're comfy Jenna, I'm worried about you over there. No, no, I'd like to be in character. But you've got to see the spectacle of this, it's at CoupleImages, it's our Instagram, you've got to see what she looks like right now, it's so funny. Jenna, how are you feeling being the final episode? I'm really sad. Yeah. I don't want it to end.

I know, do we have to do it? Let's continue. Oh, fuck, don't do that to me. I know. Do we have to do it? Like, do we have- Let's continue. Oh, fuck, don't do that to me. Then I'm the bad guy being like, no, we can't just change our minds now. No, it's not changing of minds. It's just gaslighting our audience into thinking we're finishing when we're not.

I was actually thinking that, because people have said, I'm hoping this is all one big prank and they're not really ending the podcast. Wouldn't they be somewhat furious if it was a prank? That's kind of cruel. Oh, that's an emotional whiplash. Yeah, that was the case. But you know what?

And I'll say this, you said we haven't had any discussions, honestly, but the show is like we're ending the show, but they also ended Will and Grace. They also ended... Neighbours? Neighbours? Oh God. Yeah. I'm like fucking toadfish.

I saw a text we got, I can't remember who it was from, I wish I did. Um, and they said, I feel like is it just me. I saw a text we got, I can't remember who it was from, I wish I did, and they said, I feel like Is It Just Me is gonna be like one of those comfort shows like Kath and Kim or Friends that you go back to. I was like, oh, that's nice. I agree, our back catalogue will remain and it will exist. If you're listening on Spotify in years to come,

pop a comment, I wanna see, you know, on YouTube, people like, who's here in 2024? Yeah. Yeah. I hate those comments. Is it just me on the fly or people comment just for, someone said first comment, can I get a like?

Or on Instagram now, like you'll be on something and someone will just comment like Donald Trump for president button and they'll do an arrow to the like. So it's not even a like button. They're rewiring what the button is. I got a big dump truck ass button, 400 likes. I'm like what? Do you want to hear what we have got planned for this episode? I think we should. I think we should tell everyone.

You know that we often do Jenna's junk, which is our shitty gems that never make it to the podcast. We decide, no, we're not going to use that. Is it just me talking point? And then it resurfaces out of Jenna's junk. Well, today we're doing idiot's junk because a lot of people have asked to come on the podcast to share. And is it just me of their own? I would love to have been able to get every single one of you on, but we haven't been able to.

So you might get a shout out in this episode. We've got a bunch to get through. Yep. We're going through all the idiots junk sifting through. Yeah. I feel bad calling it junk. It's not because we thought it was shit. It just, we just never got around to it basically.

And also coming up, Oscar's obituary. Yeah. Our fourth wheel roving reporter, Oscar, you know how the TV news stations will have obituaries prepared for people before they die? Yes. Like people they suspect might carcass someone else. McQueen, James Corden, you know, big names. Even though we're terminal, we're not gone yet, but we do have an obituary to play.

Well it's more so looking back at five years because we have done some real shit over the last half decade. I'd be interested to see how many of them you actually remember. Because we know that your memory plays tricks on you sometimes. My memory is shot. I honestly don't think I'll remember any. I was even going back through old socials and I don't even remember being in the room. Yeah, it doesn't even look like me.

I thought, when did they have Katie Lang as a kid? You know, I find so random your memory. You don't latch on to everything, because I say a lot of shit, but some things you really latch on to. One of those things was the story I told you about our family dog. The septic tank. Jenna, when we were in Bogengate last week, Chiri got to see the shit pit. You saw it.

I got to see it. Jenna, and smell it. It's a hole in the ground with shit in it. If you missed that story, I was... It's not a good story. Trigger warning, animal death. Yeah. Yeah, our family dog fell in the septic tank and drowned because Dad had left it open because he was fixing a pump or something. And he came back and went, animal death. Yeah, our family dog fell in the septic tank and drowned because dad had left it open because he was fixing a pump or something and he came back and went holy shit. And for some reason your memory latched onto that story of all stories. So I had to show it to you

in the flesh. Yeah, thank you for sharing it to me. I was like, oh I'd get that turd earlier, look at that one. I think that's one of mine. Well that's coming up. I'm excited, I'm nervous, I'm kind of like filling out words. So then to the end is longer away than it really needs to be. It needs to be a long episode. And also coming up, you know how we've been playing little voice messages from guests we've had on the podcast, right? Yeah. We've got one final voice message to go for an old guest.

Keep an ear out for it. OK. It's a big one. We're also saying speeches later. We've all prepared a few words. We haven't heard what we're going to say to each other yet. We have. How long are they going to be? Yeah. I haven't actually timed mine. I mentioned if it was a fucking Ted talk.

Mine, mine's not very long. Okay. I, you know, word economy. I'm really just one of my strengths. So I made sure that I was short and sweet. Not today, mate. No word economy today. Um, I got you guys gifts.

Should I give them to you now? Oh, Mitch. I didn't know we were doing gifts. I wanted to do gifts. I just, to be honest, I saw something and it reminded me of Jenna that I might, well now I've got to get Mitch something. Oh, I see. This is just, the speeches will come later, but it's just a gift. They're small and they're tiny. Don't downplay them. No, I know. But they just, they are, I think the perfect encapsulation of our friendship.

They're very different gifts. But Jenna, I saw this and I thought of you straight away. Very Jenna. It's a cat on a jumper. It's just the cat's facial features, like the nose, mouth, eyes. I love this spread across the jumper. That is very cute. Jenna famously loves cats and she's part cat, she's got cat claws.

That's true. I reckon those cat's eyes are gonna line up perfectly on your tits. Yeah. I actually know they're not that perky. The eyes are quite high up. Yeah, it's gonna be on the lips. Let's face it.

Oh, I love this so much. I kinda want that. It's very nice. Yeah, it's cute. Oh, I love it. Good quality too. This is for you, Mitchell. Thank you, darling.

You can pass it over to Mitchell. You didn't have to do this. This is sentimental. Ooh, okay, you, darling. You can pass it over to Mitchell. Okay. You didn't have to do this. This is Sentimental. Ooh, okay, here we go. Have a look. It is a vinyl. It's a vinyl.

I've detected that. I haven't seen what's on it yet. What I've had made for you is I've got a record of our first ever episode printed. Really? Yeah. You can do that? Yes, you can do it. And it takes much longer than anticipated.

Really? Oh my god, that's wild. I didn't know that was possible. Do that? I yes you can do it and it takes much longer than anticipated That was coming from Ireland and I had to pull the audio which is very hard for me So it's it's our very first episode here. Did you have to screen record a whole episode? I thought about it. That was option two. I had to download it like download the episode You know, there's a software you put a link in I don't know It's probably terrible quality, but I couldn't message you you'd be like, why the hell does he want the first ever episode? So it is our first episode. Oh, that's very thoughtful. Thank you. Now I'm going to have to get a vinyl player.

Well, I don't think you'd ever want to actually play it, would you? I'd be curious to see how it sounds. It'd be all crackly and distorted. I like that sound. So it's forever commemorated if the internet blows up and if there's a world war and there's no way to stream the shows and you've got Alzheimer's and you're 97 and you wanna listen to the first episode, you can put it on.

Only one episode on loop. Yeah. I'll have Alzheimer's, it won't matter. Yeah, that's right. You forget that you've listened. Now, shall we dive right into the episode? I think we should. If it is your first time listening,

welcome to Is It Just Me? Every show we start the same with two idi, welcome to Is It Just Me. Every show we start the same with two idioms, two Is It Just Me's. They are something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Mitch doesn't know mine, I don't know Mitch's. I hate to be greedy, but we're never going to do this again and I've got two Is It Just Me's and I can't pick which one I like. Oh. Is it fine to do both? Fuck it, do both. I don't care. Yeah, no issues with me. Okay. I am I was gonna go sentimental But then I thought you know, the whole show is gonna be a bit emotional

So let's just give you what I what I have the thought I had this week is if the show wasn't ending This would be my age and if the show was not wrapping up. How would I tease mine? one of them is Something I hate but I would hate it if it happened to me It didn't happen to me, but fuck I would hate it to happen to me. I witnessed it happening to someone else. And the other one, you know how I love to do little montages of things I've noticed you saying,

like you always saying, totally, totally, totally. Or there was the one of you saying, good call, good call. I've done another montage of something I've noticed, but it's not just you, funny that. It's not just you, it's something we're both guilty of and have been guilty of this whole fucking series. Right, ridicule us both in our final episode. Let's not point fingers at just me.

That'll be nice. Jenna, which one do you want to hear first? I want to hear the last one. The one calling us out. Yeah. Sure, shall we dive right in? I can't wait any longer. Oh my God, Bradley.

Oh, Bradley's wearing a little hat. Oh, Bradley. Oh, that's cute. Oh, for our last episode. Our beautiful VO guy with the Idjim Orchestra. Are, Bradley. Oh, that's cute. Oh, for our last episode. A beautiful VO guy with the IJM Orchestra. Are you ready, Brad? Let's go. Is it just me or?

Are we overactive listeners sometimes? You and I? Yeah. Oh. What do you mean? Have you seen those memes about the overactive listeners where the person's leaning in really intently and going, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Like Ariana Grande on the wicked press door. Like they're nodding and going, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, yeah, yeah, mm-hmm. Yeah, we do that a lot. Do we? Especially when we're interviewing people. We've had many gorgeous guests on this podcast and we can never just let them talk. It's like we have to assure them that we're still there. Oh, really?

Often in unison with each other. Really? That's a good thing. It means we're in sync. Oh my god. So do you want to hear? This is just from Kate Langbrook's episode last week. Do you want to hear our overactive listening? Yes, go for it. So I've muted Kate's mic. This is us. Yeah. Uh huh. Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah Mm-hmm. Yes Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, oh, yeah, it's not real. Yeah. Mmm. Yeah. Oh totally yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. to be involved in the conversation and it also keeps things going. Because I wonder if those yes and ums and the uhs weren't there if it would still flow

naturally. I suppose. It is just very natural and conversational to do that. But then part of me also thinks, you don't hear Tracy Grimshaw doing that shit, do you? How many other interviewers out there just sit there going, mmm, mmm, yeah, mmm, yeah. No one. John 60 minutes. But also it would kind of be a bit creepy as the guests if we just sat there in silence

staring at them. Yes it would. And also I'm not really the best with eye contact anyway so I wouldn't be staring at them. I literally do the mmm to assure them I'm still here. Don't worry guys, I'm still here. But it's also a nice subliminal way of being like hey the story's good, I understand, keep going right?

Because if we were, see I wanted to keep going. Yeah that's true. See that that's true well that's a fun little thing for anyone that's planning to binge the series again any guest episodes just keep an ear out of every time we mmm overactive listen take a sip every time we yeah should we should we have any more guests but we should do the opposite just for fun no do a tie bird it's nice no I like a YK no all right okay that was a good e-jim do another one okay you ready for the other No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no have I, thankfully. But you know, when you're driving through the tunnel and they've got that technology where they can interrupt what's on the radio and do like announcements, they might say

everyone in the left lane, there's been an accident or something. I was driving through the Eastern distributor tunnel the other day and they were calling out just one particular vehicle and they were playing this over and over on loop. It kept interrupting my favourite radio show, the pick upup obviously. Only for the remainder of the week. And because it kept playing on loop I asked Siri, run a voice memo, I want to hear it. It sounds really creepy and eerie this announcement, this is what was playing on loop, ready? Attention attention, this is the Eastern distributor control room with a message directed to the driver of the truck traveling

northbound that just entered the Eastern distributor control room with a message directed to the driver of the truck travelling northbound that just entered the Eastern distributor. Your vehicle has struck over high detection devices. You must stop now and await the arrival of the incident response crew. If your vehicle has avoided contact, you are directed to use the next exit. Details of your vehicle have been recorded and severe penalties may be imposed. If you were that truck driver, wouldn't you be like, fuck? You'd be mortified. Oh, that's embarrassing. Details of your vehicle have been recorded and severe penalties may be imposed. If you were that truck driver, wouldn't you be like, fuck? You'd be mortified. Oh, that's embarrassing.

Especially because the over-height truck thing, like is a Rookiero, you should know how tall your truck is, if it's going to fit inside the tunnel or not. But also that announcement, they weren't sure whether they had actually struck the tunnel. I was like, right, so you have the technology to take his license details and call him out, but you don't have the technology to tell whether he actually hit the tunnel or not. The technology exists to broadcast over the radio, stop what is being played, shut up Mitch Cheery, Brittany and Laura. He said option A, if you did hit the tunnel, stop option B, get the fuck out.

Yes. We'll just figure out whether it happened or not. Yeah. You know, my neighbor runs the Eastern distributor tunnel. That's not him, but it's his job to manage the tunnel. Wow. Imagine how much fun they would have those announcers on like, April Fool's Day. Yeah.

To the driver of the Red Mazda 3, there's a man in the boot of your car. Oh my god. He's got a gun. Imagine. We see the body. To the Red Honda Jazz. Pull to the side. Police en route.

There's a bomb in your boot. Fatty in the Hyundai i30. Stop peeling your eggshells out the window. Sorry, sorry, that's me. Imagine if the truck driver did hit that tunnel. Yeah. And after they pointed it out to him, he was like, oh, sorry, tunnel.

Literally apologizing to it. Go ahead, tick that off the bucket list. Final, literal sorry, tunnel. Sorry, tunnel. Sorry tunnel Which of those two regions did you like better that was better Might be bad. They said to me to the driver of the Astra. What the fuck you do Excuse me the driver of the Astra not sure if you're a girl or a boy. However, please pull to the side. So good.

All right. What do you got? Mitchell, you're never gonna do a Ninja again. Weird, right? I hadn't even factored that in. You're never gonna do one again now. Maybe not in podcast form. I'm just gonna have to spam everyone now

on the social media. And when I do it in my real life, it's such a laugh too. Yeah, it is. I noticed that you started saying, is it just me on the fly to people And when I do it in my real life, it's such a laugh too. Yeah, yeah. So I'm like, all right. I noticed that you started saying, is it just me on the fly to people who definitely don't listen. I do it.

They must think you're weird as fuck. I do it as a joke, I do it on the pickup. Did you? I do it all the time. I do it as a joke. I think it's funny. That's so good. And no one questions it.

No, no, no, no, no one gives a shit. Love that. Because it's like, people would just think, why didn't you just say, is it just me? Yeah. What's on the fly? Okay, well, are you ready if you, is it just me, your final one? No!

Does it feel correct as your final one? No, it doesn't. I had so many stupid ones. Is it just me? You never check your letter box. That's not a last idiom. Is it just me? Should Vest be more popular?

Stupid. Well, you can do two if you want. I just did two. Well, maybe. Well, let's see how this one goes. Yeah, sure. OK, because this is the idiom that I would do if the show wasn't done, and we were doing it regular week,

because we're gonna get to the sappy stuff. I don't wanna wrap it on about sadness. All right, here we go. Go for it Bradley! ["Is It Just Me?" by The Bachelorette plays in background.] Is it just me? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh What do you mean? What happened in the days where you could get a full OLED TV for 80 bucks? Yeah, I didn't notice any bargains that I had to jump at. No, people used to go to war for Black Friday. People had bats and they'd smash down glass at Target and they'd line up for hours.

Remember the news? Black Friday people are lining up and it was Tuesday. Getting in ahead of the pack. There were stampeds. There were stampeds. You could get such good deals for Black Friday. I did feel like this year was a bit of a flash in the pan. Because then there's Cyber Monday. Oh, don't even get me started.

Is there any difference between Cyber Monday and Black Friday or is it the same shit? It's the same thing. It's the exact same thing. I'm an idiot and I thought Cyber Monday, I wanted to get a hard drive because I've been sensationally fired. So I'm trying to get all my audio and stuff off for the KISS system. We'll be archiving. Correct. So I had to buy a four terabyte hard drive. Mitchell helped me. And when we were driving to Bogengate, it was Black Friday. Yep.

So we were scrolling and there was just like no good deal on tech. Yeah. You're a bit of a tight ass mind you. Well, I just, I just, yeah, no, if I'm going to spend a lot of money, I want it to be right. Yeah. I like to investigate as well. And I go to compare.com and look at all the options. God, that's a lot of fucking effort.

I know. Compare.com. I know, but I messaged one of the techs who works here. He said, mate, wait till Cyber Monday. All the cyber stuff's on sale. I'm like, oh, Cyber Monday rolls around, same prices. Exact same stuff. It's all the same, and there was no stampede,

there was no rush, there was no shatter to glass. I'm not interested in partaking in any of that IRL shopping chaos, like the Boxing Day sales you always see on the news people lining up ages I'm like Oh God, I can't think of anything worse. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it There is Mitchell there is something so fun and and Christmasy about going to Westfield the night before Christmas I love the chaos. I love people running around I love getting that last little gift and knowing that the lady behind me can't get it Can I got it for my auntie? Yeah. I went to Kukai

and I got her the flats that she wanted, bitch. But leave it until the day before. That will be so stressful because there's no guarantee they want to sell it out. Yeah. But that's the fun thing. You got to find something else. You know, when I worked at Coles, my favourite shift was, was the couple of the week leading up to Christmas because everyone is happy, but also anxious and workers off and everyone's in. You enjoy people being anxious. No, it's not that. It's just that you love working with me.

Yeah, that's why we've worked all these years. But I was disappointed. This is me on the fly, by the way. Yeah. This is going back to the whole name of it, like Black Friday, not actually being a day. It's basically a week. I think happy hour should be a fucking hour. An hour is an hour for a reason.

On that note, did you know that sometimes Kyle and Jackie O's hour of power goes for two hours? No, that's not cool. If it's an hour, it's an hour. No, I agree. Oh, well good Egypt, I mean, what was my other one? My other one was more sentimental. Oh, go on.

Yeah, do it. All right, go Bradley, let's do it. Last chance. All right, go Bradley, go. Is it just me? Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo do a little bit of a deep dive. Yeah, I did. Oh, you are feeling sentimental. Yeah, of course. I, because we were posting so much content from Bougangate, which Mitch tirelessly edited. So kudos to Mitch. Thank you.

Pumped out that, those content. I mean, of course I had to star in it. Yes. And that was exhausting. But I was showing Stephen some old clips and I was looking back, scrolling down on the grid on Instagram and we have done so much together for five years. It is actually insane how different we were five years ago. Oh yeah.

There's going to be a lot in that obituary that we're going to play. Yeah. Some of the old pro backs, our voices sound different. I think I sound annoying as fuck. Do you really? Yeah. I would have spoken so quickly. So fast.

I've also noticed this is a big call. This is a dramatic way of phrasing it, but like this podcast has cured some things that I used to be anxious about. Really? Like, you know how some people find it really weird to hear a recording of their voice? They'll be like, Oh my God, is that what I sound like? If they hear a recording of them talking, that's gone out the window. I hear myself talk all the time now with all the fucking editing I do.

That's no longer a thing. And also I used to have this weird thing where if I said my own name out loud, it sounded weird to me, like saying Mitch Mitchell, I'd be like, oh God, it's so weird saying my own name, but I'm over that now because I have to say it to you all the time. My name, yeah, you're right. Yeah, true. That's so interesting.

I hated women when this podcast started, and Jenna, you've really- Solidified that. Yeah. Yeah. Is it just me? You can follow the show online, just search Couple of Mitches.

If you don't, you're a dickhead. Chugs, what have you done? I was having such fun. Hold it straight with me, my bright hero. Is it just me? How am I gonna keep on listening to, is it just me? Sorry that you're terminal? Is it just me? Sorry that you're terminal, lad. Is it just me? Leave a five star rating year at. Is it just me?

Is it just me now? I think that's my favourite. Is it? That's good. Wait, sorry. I'm going down this rabbit hole. We've got to kill time this time. Jenna, you weren't here in the last episode when we were in Bogengate. Oh yeah we missed you Jenna. I missed it. There was a sheep there though that was crying

for a tea so it did remind me of you. You missed one of the other sweepers that I played and I reckon this one's my favorite let me find it. Okay okay. listening to, is it just me the podcast? Leave a review, better be five stars. Ooh, make it five fucking stars. That's my favourite. Oh that's good. How good is that? That is very good. Then we went on to discuss that we'd all, except for Stephen, fuck Mark Ronson.

Would you fuck Mark Ronson? Um, potentially. Jenna, that costume's starting to look real uncomfy. Are you sure? There's no pressure to keep it on. No, I want it on. Do you have a hair pin? I'll just pop the fucker. Don't you dare touch it! Don't do that. I thought you were going to say clip it into place so it stops sliding around.

No, you know. But no, you're going to ruin her fun. Don't you dare! She needs a fucking Voltara. Her hunchback is protruding. Okay, so now it's time to do our very last Is It Just You Call Out. Oh my God. No pressure on the person we're about to buzz. I will say there's no point giving you the mobile number because,

unfortunately, the credit will run out and you won't be able to receive the messages. However, just so we can hear the dulcet tones one more time, this is the number that you could have text if you wanted to feature on the show. Oh, four, two, two, nine, four, eight, two, zero, two. Oh, four, two, two, nine, four, eight, two, zero, two. Send us the text. I wonder who has that number. Are they going to be getting texts from randoms in year to year?

If we don't keep paying for it, it will expire that number. It's going to be some old Dot Wiggins type who's going to get, hello is it just me or does your anal stimulation work better than vaginal? We just get this text me and like, hi Mitches, the year is 2030 and I'm just reminiscing about the good times we had and this person's like, wrong, Chook, sorry about that. All right, today we're going to Penrith in Western Sydney. We're gonna talk to Cherie, our last Is It Just You caller. There was a, this is the attack that I wanted for Black Friday, there was some sort of horde

people wanted to get on for the final legend. Hello? Hi, darlings. Hi, it's Mitch Mitch and Jenna, you're our last ever caller on the show. Oh my god. Hi guys. Hi babe.

Hi. What are you up to today darling? Working actually. Oh, you poor bugger. You just taking a quick lunch break for us? Yes I am. I already told my boss. I said I'm letting you know whenever I get a phone ring, I am moving out of my office.

What do you do for work? After you, yes. In sync. Um, I do administration roles, so I'll work for a building company and we take care of all of the, um, work orders we receive from Strata managers. Oh, cool. Sounds boring now, offence. Yeah, you'll be having a snake on your desk. Honestly, it is because Strata managers are a bitch.

Yeah. There's just something about the word Strata manager that made my skin crawl. Like, I hate those people. Well, having our show, I guess, has been a little reprieve for you. How long have you listened? Give us the story of Itcham. So, the first episode I listened to was the missing budgie episode. Oh, that was fucked up.

That was really early on and you tried to get me to prank call someone who had put up a poster for a missing budgie and be like, I've got it. I was like, what? How is that funny? That's cruel. I think I wanted to, no, I wanted to do that. Yeah. I don't really remember why. That was the big hustle where you kept on blaming Jennifer coming up with the idea and Jenna kept on blaming Shuri and it turned into a big thing. What I found disturbing doesn't matter whose idea it was, but both of you knew. And so the other didn't say, are you sure about that? Yeah, Jenna. You were both just like, yeah, this is fine. I didn't know about it.

It's bad for both of you. Jenna, you knew about it. I didn't know. Stop gaslighting me. Regardless of whether or not it was your idea, you were complicit. Stop gaslighting me. I did not know anything about it. Guess what? Palm Sugar the budgie is still missing. Why would you bring down the moon like that? Presumed dead. Now I'm even more depressed. All, well now this is our last ever Is It Just Me? So is it just you? Altogether, last time we were here Bradley. Last time we were here Bradley. Would you say there's

pressure Sheree or no? I do feel a little bit of pressure but I think what I'm going to say is going to hit the nail on the head to a lot of the idiots. Okey doke. Well, are you ready to go, bub? I'm ready. Let's go, Bradley. Last time ever, Brad. When you're ready, Bradley. Is it just me? Is this podcast better than Drugs and Dicks? Is this podcast better than Drugs and Dick? Well, it would be a bit obnoxious of us to agree and add it to our list of things better

than Drugs and Dick. I agree. Well, it's on top of my list. Oh, Sheri. Can't really argue, can I? I have to pop that on the list. Yeah, you have to. Add it to the list.

You know what, actually, Sheri, why don't we collate the list of things better than Drugs and Dick and do an official review and close off the list? Oh, yeah, people have been asking us like, oh, you should do a coffee table book. But what they don't realize is that in the back of my mind this whole time, I thought I would always reveal the full list in the final episode. Wow. Should we go through it now? Sheree, are you happy if we do that? Oh, definitely. 100%. Go for it. Let's do it.

It used to just be guests that we had on the podcast and we'd ask them for a little pleasure in life they appreciate because we don't want our listeners getting obsessed with partying and boys, do we? No, no, no, no. It used to just be the guests, but people have been adding to it randomly. Like, Steven's on there.

What did he add? Hot coffee in the morning. Did he? And salami. Aww. And then Justin and Camden last week added vagina. Yeah, which I regret adding it on there. Jenna, you were missing, so. Yes, yes.

Okay, shall we go through this together, everyone? Let's go. Drugs. For things better than drugs and dick. So I'll start with the drag race down under season two, Queens. We've got a few from them. Spanky Jackson said, KFC, you still get to suck on something but you don't get an aftertaste and there's no shame if you find a bit leftover in your

tits. Minnie Cooper said having a Hey You account to watch all the Real Housewives, especially Salt Lake City. Minnie clearly had a sponsorship at the time. Hannah Condor said The Wizard of Oz, that's her comfort movie. Ruby Tease back in the early days. She also said getting KFC delivered after a big night out on Oxford Street. Love Ruby. Aw, Ruby. Sophie Monk said,

Jimmy Brings is better than Drugs and Dick. I think she was the face of Jimmy Brings at the time. She was at the time. So that was also a bit of sponsorship happening there. Kate Langbrook said, eating streaky bacon in bed. Nah! That's her guilty pleasure. Jess Malboy, the feeling of walking barefoot on grass.

I asked her that, didn't I? Yeah, you did. Why did you ask her that? Because she interviewed Jess Malboy. Yeah. Oh, you did? Yeah. Um, Christian Hull said,

gardening, but there's not much better than dick. That's what he said. Yeah, okay. At least he's honest. I was gonna say the same thing. Jack Vigeon said sobriety, 5am starts and writing a gratitude list. Oh right, that one aged well.

Oh, don't be like that. Keenan Lonsdale, do you remember him being on Cherie? Yeah. Cause I said that he was like possibly the least memorable guest. He said looking outside with sunshine on your face and seeing a little chipmunk go by. Jesus Christ, can I just say, I'm going to out it now.

Sorry. Worst ever interview on this show. Oh, he wasn't. He actually wasn't bad. You're forgetting Ty Verde's, mate. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, Ty was bad. No, no, no. We've already referenced it today. I know he was just high. He was high and he didn't clearly know what was going on. Then he started saying to stare at the sun.

It's good for your soul. I was like into the sun? What do you mean? I think it's good for your soul. I was like, into the sun? What do you mean? I think that's bad for your eyes. I think that's bad for the retina. Do you wanna hear Ty Verters' one? Did we ask him? Yeah.

He hated you. He said, he did. He said, doing something that you like the process of. Which I guess this podcast has been that. Yes. So yeah. Wise words from Ty Verters. We had Mary and Morgan from the Odeer podcast.

Oh yes, I remember that. They said, taking socks off while you're in bed. No, I love that. It's the best feeling ever. Stealing from the self-serve checkout and getting away with it. I won't confirm nor deny that I can relate to that one. Nat Penfold said, cleaning your ears.

That's her really satisfying thing in life. I did that today. Abbie Chatfield, getting the beginnings of an ingrown toenail cut out. Oh, we had Abby before she was sex positive. Now she'd be like, a good anal stretch. Oh, there was a lot of anal chat in that episode when Abby was on.

Oh, okay, that took a while, yeah. Lara Jean Marshall from the Saddle Club said, oozing lava cake. Oh, thank god. Why is that the most appropriate answer for her? It's very innocent, isn't it? She messages me all the time. I love her.

I think she's just a listener. She's like, Lara Jean Marshall. Oh my god, yeah, some listener. No, no, she's a Saddle Club. I love Lara Jean. And fun fact, that's like one of our most listened to episodes ever. Massive fan base for horses and young girls. I'm not boring you with this list, Mishary.

I'm nearly done. No, no, it's actually really great because I actually listened to that episode not long ago and Sheree was not into doing the whole interview for the Sutter Club. He goes, this is boring. I'm not gonna like it. And at the end she was going, oh she's sweet, she's nice. And I thought that's just classic Sheree. Yeah. I was a lot grumpier in the early days. No, I don't think you were.

You don't think I was Sheree? No, you were always really... That's a new thing. There was a lot of unhinged moments with you in the early days. Yeah, yeah. Oh God, yeah. Yeah.

Okay, I'll keep going. Rohit Roy, the fizzy drink guy. Oh yeah. He said, meditation. I like that one. Good for Rohit. Really good melted cheese, said Tony Lodge. Yeah. Weighted blankets and a good skincare routine that was Reese Nicholson.

Driving over the Brooklyn Bridge heading into Manhattan, watching reruns of Sex and the City in your undies eating Chinese food and rimming, that was Sean Zeps. Wow. Emma Horne said anything that involves potatoes and tits. Better than drugs and dick. Right, famed lesbian, yep. Tim Abbott said, chocolate and sultanas,

better than drugs and dick. You have another famed lesbian. Oh yeah, and we had to order them. We ordered them for yep. Tim Abbott said, Choc coated sultanas, better than drugs than dick. You have another famed lesbian. Oh yeah, and we had to order them. We ordered them for you. And it was on my birthday. Yeah, it was. My birthday gift was to him. You're never gonna be able to move on from that, are you?

She's never gonna get over that worthless tweet. Coming in here, ruining her birthday. I love Tim Abbott, he's such a quiet guy. I love Tim Abbott. Ruben Kay said, when you haven't started the choc top before the movie, like self-restraint. Fadhan said green crunchy plums with salt. Green plum?

We need to address that interview. Did I write that wrong? Green plums are things. She said that. Okay. That was a weird moment for us. Art Simone, she said pussy and pasta as in cats, not actual. I agree with that.

Funny, yep yep yep. Subvert. said pussy and pasta as in cats, not actually. I agree with that. Funny, yep yep yep, some vert. Jules Rangihayuea said psychic readings and head massages at the hairdresser. Jessica Rowe said a chiquito bar while reading her Kindle. And then that's it. Cherise is out of the last one, this podcast. Wow.

Thank you Cherise. Thank you, thank you so much. Cherise, thank you for bringing that to the table. Yes. No it's okay, look I just wanna say to you guys, thank you for bringing that to the table. Yes. No, it's okay. Look, I just want to say to you guys, thank you for everything for the last five years. You know, it's, you know, I'm going to miss all the laughs and all the unhinged moments and all the live tweets and the stupid sound effects.

But I just want to say thank you for everything. You know, you've made just a massive impact on my life and I'm sure all the idiots live in the last five years and everything you guys have done for this podcast, it's been so great and it's just gonna be so appreciative. Like I know you guys went through so much in the last five years and you did so much dedication and made sure we got our episodes every week no matter what. And I'm just so grateful and thank you so much. Thank you darling.

Oh, Cherie. That was beautiful. People like you make it all worth it, honestly. I mean that. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. Like I'll admit I'm sad that you guys are finishing, but I understand why. I think I went through the seventh stage of the group, you know, seventh stage.

We're still working our way through the stages ourselves right there. Yeah, I think I'm in two still. I've been stuck there for a while. Which one? Sadness. I think he's in anger then. I've been stuck there for a while. Which one? Sadness. I think it's anger then sadness. I don't think we've gone through anger yet. That'll be fun.

Maybe that'll hit this episode. Yeah, that was the voodoo doll that I had made. Oh well, Sheree. I don't think it's really going to hit a lot of us until we actually hear the very last episode. It fucking crept up on us, hey. It went by so quick. I felt like you guys just announced that you were finished. And I'm like, what?

I think we actually, no, I like what we did, how we announced it. And we still had what? Six weeks? Episode 237 that we announced it. So yeah. Oh shit. It feels like it was just last week. I just feel so quick.

And I'm like, oh my God, the countdown was serious. But yeah, I just want to say again, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome, honey. We'll still be around. Yeah, we will. Yeah.

You can get us, you can consume us both. And you know, if you've liked all that Bodengate content that Mitch and I pumped out the last week, like we'll have time to do so much more together. You know, we've only been restricted to being in this studio. Yeah, but you know what? You've got to do what you guys are going to do for yourselves. This is what you need to do for you. You never know what the future holds, Cherie.

You never know. Exactly, you never know. It's not goodbye. You're very sweet, Sheree, thank you. We love you. And the same can be said for all the idiots. I mean, God, like so grateful, so be ungrateful. Sheree, we love you, you get the final ever. Is it just me, Umbrella, coming your way.

Love that. Yay! Yay, it's coming your way. Make sure you flick prize keep agenda your address, okay? I will, I will definitely, I can't wait to get that! Yay! It's coming your way! Make sure you flick prize keeper jettie your address, okay? I will, I will definitely, I can't wait to get that. I hope it's raining when I get it. We love you Cherie, thanks for listening.

Thanks honey. Thanks Cherie! Thank you, bye guys. Bye! Love ya. Love you. Hey Cherie? Yes?

Sorry tunnel. Last one, I had to do it. We had to do one more bucket list ticket off. Oh god lover. Well let's keep the ship moving come on. Yeah we better. As you know we get a lot of people putting their hand up for an Is It Just You. We will go through some of the ones we never got around to taking their call. Right now should we listen to Oscar's obituary for us. Yeah so these are the best moments of the whole show over the last five years.

You haven't heard of it yet. You don't know that. He could have done a sturdy. I don't think he would have. This is the final roving report from Oscar. Oh, good. So we just dive right in and take a listen. So I've not heard it. Has Jenna heard this? No. Have you, Jenna? No. OK, so it's a bit of a marathon, isn't it?

Well, we've just got so many best bits, don't we? All right, let's let's let's roll. Let's do it. Bear in mind that you guys are allowed to sing out and say wait pause and we get off a commentary. Okay. Okay yep. Okay are we ready to go? Ready. Here it is. Hello idiots for one final time it's roving reporter Oscar here. Today I'm bringing you the official obituary of Is It Just Me? The podcast. This is really fucking over. First things first, let's take you back to where it all began in that first episode five years ago.

Welcome to the very first episode of Is It Just Me? Let me tell you people how this is gonna work, alright? We kick off each show with an Is It Just Me each. We haven't told each other what it's gonna be. Pause. Oh my god. Pausing. See what I mean about my voice

being high pitched and annoying? What? Like shut the fuck up. I was honestly just thinking when did we have Jojo Siwa on this show? Sorry, where were we? Oh my god. While we're here,

let's revisit the very first itchum that was ever featured on this podcast. Is it just me or...? Is going to restaurants a great way to make friends? What do you mean? Like, are you just going up to cafes and just finding people that are sitting by themselves? This isn't people in the restaurant, this is staff. Maybe 30 to 40 people in my Instagram followers list

I have met because they've been serving me food in restaurants. Is that the prerequisite of being your friend? You have to be serving you. Food has to be involved somehow. Oh, I think. That could have been one for Gina's junk, just quietly. Anyway, from the absolute get-go,

Coombs and Tury really set the tone of how fucking stupid this podcast was going to be. In episode one, Turey introduced a segment called Coughing Fit Chicken. The aim of the game? Prank call someone, break out into a coughing fit and see how long it takes them to hang up. The first victim? Esteemed broadcaster and a mentor to both Mitch's Ben Fordham. Poor bastard. I just want to get a's, Ben Fordham. Poor bastard. I just want to get a little bit of your advice. I have a question with...

You alright? You alright bro? Yeah, yeah. Mitch, dude, dude. Ring me back. What the fuck? I'm gonna have a call from the... No mate, no, no.

Just... I'm gonna have a call from the... No, no mate, no, no. Just... I'm gonna have a call from the... No, mate, no, no. Just... I'm gonna have a call from the...

No, mate, no, no. Just... I'm gonna have a call from the... No, mate, no, no. Just... What the f... Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough cough And it was the viral TikTok of this very moment episodes of season one we discovered that there's a particular word that jury can't say properly and it was the viral tick-tock of this very moment that is the reason many of you idiots discovered this show and are still listening today it's like when you're in bed and you can hear a mosquito up near your blinds but you can't do anything what did you say blinds blinds do you think that there's two syllables in blinds blinds keeplyans? Keep the sun out and you measure them. It's one syllable, Blyans.

You're like, Blyans! Blyans. No, there's only one syllable, Blyans. I'm doing one syllable! Blyans! What else do you say wrong? Do you say, oh, that's awfully Kyan? Oh no, I really don't my-and.

Sir, I'm your surgeon. You've broken your spion. My what? Your spion has snapped in two. I parked illegally. I hope I don't get a fire! LAUGHTER Meanwhile, third wheel Jenna also has a word she can't say properly. I think he's a bald guy.

A what now? Bald. BALD?! When someone has no hair, they are bald. I can't say bald. Really? Bald. It's like saying, oh, I I played bowling on the weekend and I... Bold. ..I strike. Can I tell you, it was a very special day.

When my niece was a few months old, I was there to witness the first time she crawled. Now, who could forget when we first discovered Churi's love of embellishing? Kombs overheard him say this when he was interviewing international singing star, Nauv. How are you liking Australia? So good to have you. It's been amazing man. Yeah, everybody's really nice here. Like very genuinely nice, which is really sweet. And really good coffee and really good food.

How good's the coffee in Australia? I'm in and out of LA too. The coffee in LA, like watered down, dirt water. Sorry? What was that? In and out of LA? How good's the coffee in Australia? I'm in and out of LA too. Oh!

How do you figure you're in and out of LA? I was trying to sound cool and relating. You were trying to sound like you had a holiday house permanently set up over there. No one believed you. And so, Keem's being the bitch he is, he got Lauv on the podcast to set the record straight. You, Lauv, you seem like someone who values honesty,

am I correct? Absolutely. No, okay, I just need to ask you, Lauv. When someone says to you, I'm in and out of LA, what sort of person do you picture? I feel like somebody's got like multiple houses in multiple places. You got like a penthouse in New York City.

He lives with his parents in the Shire. No, no, no. He just downstairs in their townhouse. He's a total loser. Last time I asked him if he wanted to hang out, he said, I'll have to ask my mum. No, he's not cool. He's not rock and roll.

You guys are amazing. Honestly, I talked to so many different radio hosts and you guys are like legit really funny. Now to another moment where a beautiful inside joke was born. Sorry, tunnel. The perfect way to abruptly end a phone call. And no surprise, Coombs came up with this idea when he was stoned off his tits.

Oh, sorry tunnel. Oh my God. Do I say sorry tunnel or do I just hang up and text it? Say hello. And have a bit of a chat. Oh my god. Do I say sorry to an order? Do I just hang up and text it? Hang up like. And have a bit of a chat with the green up guy. Pause, pause, pause. What's going on? How baked were you?

Oh, you were there, you remember? You called me and said jump on my home studio. No, no, no, opposite. You were given a home studio during lockdown and you said, answer this zoom now, send me a link. And I was like, dude, I'm not in a good way. But you were just like showing off your me a link and I was like dude I'm not in a good way but you were just like showing off your home studio and I was like you know what you should do you should call

all right I forget who he even called roll it again go back it was NASA from Hey, carry on. Do I say sorry, Tunnel? Or do I just hang up and text it? Say hello. Hello. And have a bit of a chat with him. Straight up go, sorry, Tunnel. Oh, sorry, Tunnel. Who's that? Hello, mate.

Who is it? Craig from Nova. Oh, sorry, Tunnel! Ah! Tuddle! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Now, who could forget back in the days when Mitchell Coombs was very single and his love life was fucking tragic. I've had countless people lead me on and then just not be interested.

Jury, being a gorgeous friend, wanted to cheer Coombs up so he offered to prank call one of the fuckhead men who had ghosted Coombs up so we offered to prank call one of the fuckhead men who had ghosted Coombs. Would it make you feel better if I prank call one of them? And that's when a much loved character on the podcast Dot Wiggins was born. Hello. Hi my name is Dot Wiggins calling from the RTA. How are you today? The RTA. Yes, Rose Traffic Authority. I'm afraid that there's an unregistered vehicle in your name sitting on Cherry Blossom Ave and it will either be towed or you can come and claim it in the next 24 hours.

I'm just giving you a courtesy call, my dear. Well, I'll speak to the RTA and I'll see what's happening with that. I am the RTA. I don't know that you actually are though because you sound a bit odd. Who? Pay your pardon. So what's your name then? Dot capital D.

D? O T Wiggins. O T. Sorry dear tunnel. He's done. He won't mess with you again. He doesn't drive. What?

He's one of those Sydney gays that fits the stereotype. Can't drive. Oh no! These days, jury cops a lot of shit for bringing too much smut to the stereotype. Can't drive. Oh no! These days, Juri copps a lot of shit for bringing too much smut to the show. But let's not forget, Coombs used to overshare about his sex life too. Like that time he was taking antidepressants,

which made it hard to get... well, hard. So the doctors were like, hey, with your antidepressant, we're gonna give you some Viagra. Just in case you have problems in the bedroom. And I thought, great, I'm 20 fucking four years old and I'm already taking Viagra.

Naturally, Churi was very curious to hear if the Viagra was helping Coombs crack a fit. So every single fucking episode, he'd ask for another Viagra update. I did take it on one hookup and it didn't kick in in time. Oh no! I didn't know that you were going to take Viagra one hour before activity so after it was gone I was red-deaf.

No! Didn't that blow out his t-shirt? No! No, no, no, no, no, no. And after some trial and error, I believe you had it on with a listener of the podcast. Yeah! What? He fucked an Idrim listener.

How did it go, Mitch? The Viagra worked a treat. Oh, again! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Mitch, Mitch, and Jenna have shared a lot of milestones with their idiots on the podcast, including Churi moving out of home for the first time and having to do his own chores, like laundry. And he just didn't get it. I had to do my own washing. What the fuck is

a small? Hayden's like, should we do the smalls? I was like, what? Which means undies and socks. Your smalls still aren't smalled out. Thank god the fat shaming stopped. This is really fucking over. The team also celebrated many a birthday and Christmas together. Who could ever forget the time? Jenna did an entire Christmas episode from inside a coffin. Jenna's gonna be in the coffin for the rest of the show unless she taps out.

Is this ethical? Oh, now you bring that up. We've committed now. I assumed we wouldn't actually do it. Here we go. Wow, it's very comfy. Nice and supportive. So thank you, Caring Funeral. Conscience is telling me that this is just so wrong.

And because Churi and Coombs are not only a couple of Mitch's but also a couple of fucking smart asses They just left the room with Jenna stuck in a bloody coffin Did everyone leave It's really shut now. They both screwed it in. All the lights are off now so I can't see anything. Good stuff. And if the coffin wasn't enough, Jenna also did an entire episode from inside a bin.

Mitch, did you get all the maggots out from the bottom? Yeah, Jenna's in the bin. Oh my god, she fits in the whole thing. There we go. Can you hear me? We can hear you. We can hear you. Mitch did you get all the maggots out from the bottom? Yeah. Jenna's in the bin. Oh my god! She fits in the whole bin! There we go! Can you hear me? We can hear you! We can hear you Jenna!

Closing the lid on us. You can leave it open if you want, let that go and record it. Let the record note that we did not. I don't want you going off to bitch to HR about this. Yeah. Yuck. Of course, who could forget on Coombs' birthday when Churi surprised him with one of the stars from his favourite TV show,

MacLeod's Fuckin' Daughters. Best known for her role as Tess on MacLeod's Daughters, ladies and gentlemen, Bridie Carter is here! Yeah! Happy, happy birthday. Thank you so much, Bridie. Wow, this is amazing. Can I ask why'd you leave?

Because the show was kind of shit after you left. Oh! Why did I leave? Because... Pausing, pausing. I love leave? Cause the show was kind of shit after you left. Oh, why did I leave? Because... Pausing, pausing. I love that I said the show was shit and she goes, Oh, never said, no it wasn't. She just agreed. Yeah, yeah.

Oh, carrying on. The show was kind of shit after you left. Oh, why did I leave? Because I was filming till I was nearly eight months pregnant. And then I was back filming sort of when he was five weeks old and you know I was a little bit burnt out. Of course there's no way we could look back on the iconic guests without reliving the time they interviewed that grizzly old fuck John Laws. The legend of Talkback Radio himself.

Do you steal smoke or have you quit? Oh no I quit ages ago. Oh okay. Would you like to try a vape? That's bloody stupid. Why would you take up something that is going to be addictive and expensive? I think for people. I'll tell you why. Because you're young and stupid.

Now, while we're talking about iconic moments, what about the time that I, Roving Reporter Oscar, compared which rug stores have the best smelling rugs. Well we finally made it to IKEA. To be quite honest it hasn't been a good Morgan. Because it smells like high creper. If there's one thing the Mitches have proven, it's that they're a triple threat. They can sing

And nobody in all of Oz, the wizard that there is or was, is ever gonna bring... MISSION! They can act. So this is our version of Rose's rescue scene in Titanic. Jack! Jack! Jack! Jack! Jack!

There's a boat, Jack! I nailed that. Saturday, 1 of 8, we'll see! Get back! Get back! Get back! Get back! Get back!

Get back! Get back! Get back! Get back! Get back! Get back! Get back! Come back. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.

Come on back. Come on back, Lacey. Ah. Shut the fuck up, I see you. Of course they can dance! But this is audio only so you'll just have to take my fucking word for it, alright? After years of moaning and groaning about his tragic love life, finally Coon's found his prince charming. Hello! Bitches now in a relationship!

He's been shot by Cupid! I didn't want to say too much until it was official, but I can tell you his name's Sean, there you go. Oh my god! I'm ensconced. Not only do the Mitches share their highs, but also their lows. You probably have noticed on this show, or even online or socials, I haven't been posting about my relationship much. I will just say that we're no longer together. Um, we've broken up.

I'm just such a fucking sap. I hate it. I don't want to cry. Oh, sweetie. Give us a cuddle. Oh, you don't have to hug me. All right. But, of course, because Churi is such a fucking catch. It wasn't long before the gorgeous st. Stephen arrived Hi idiots it's Jerry's new mystery man his name is Stephen Oh pause I'm crying already why am I crying?

Oh you're just about Stephen He's just so cute That's so beautiful I don't know why I'm crying I think it's all of it Wait till you hear this bit Okay It's Jerry's new mystery man His name is Stephen He's beautiful he's so gorgeous and so cute. He's so sweet.

Thank fuck. What an upgrade. Thank god someone said it. That wasn't in the script. Yeah. Oh, improv from Chukin. Love it. Are you carrying on or do you need a moment? No, no. I'm good. I'm good. We haven't got long left.

Okay. Right. And just as both Mitches found love, they decided to break all of our fucking hearts with this bombshell. After five years of Is It Just Me, we've decided that we won't be coming back next year. We're certainly not leaving because we don't love it anymore.

No, no. No way. We have gone through so much. Partners love, heartbreak. I got a cat. You did. Cheers to Connie. I got a cat. You did. Cheers to Connie. Yeah, cheers Connie. Cheers Jenna.

And so, that's it. Guess it's really fucking over. After building a wonderful community of idiots over their 255 episodes, Is It Just Me is today saying bye bub? One last time and I would just like to say a huge thank you to Mitchell Coombs and Mitch Churi for having me come on for the last few seasons. It's been an honour and a privilege to be a part of this show. I love you very much and Jenna and Sam, my two misfits, I love

you both and you idiots have embraced me and my fat ass. And I cannot express how grateful and appreciative I am for all of you. And now for one last time. This has been Roving Reporter Oscar. Back to you sluts in the studio. Back to you sluts in the studio. Mwah. Oh, that's so sweet. Oh, I loved that.

Very emotional. Yeah. I got to give it, actually I don't have to. I want to because we paid for it. I want to give a shout out to Dom from ESA who helped put that together. It's a fucking audio wizard. Amazing.

Dom is the best there is in this country. That was so brilliant. Honestly. Can we just rewind that bit here where he goes, audio wizard. Amazing. Dom is the best there is in this country. That was so brilliant. Honestly. Can we just rewind that bit here where he goes mwah and that effect on the end. Oh, that nearly got me. I haven't cried yet, but that nearly got me just the mwah. Back to you sluts in the studio. Mwah. The echo, the moisture on that kiss.

Was there anything in that little old bitch where the you'd forgotten had happened? Absolutely everything. The rug sniffing is the most recent thing and I forgot that. I think the Titanic thing might have been the most recent. Really? You gifted us gifts from the museum. Yes, I went to Titanic in like February. Was that this year? Yeah, I was there for Taylor Swift.

See, for me that was like three years ago. I know. My yardstick of time is so off. Oh my god we sounded so young Mitch. I know don't you hate it? I hate it we were kids. It's not like I'm rugged and masculine now but Jesus he needed a fucking punch in the throat that kid.

Also we're like performing so much more. I know. We were putting on a version of ourselves that I think we thought we had to. Yeah. Now we just- We did crank things up a notch but now we've just sort of settled into a more relaxed. Yeah. Yeah. We've grown up. We have. That was beautiful. Yeah. Well, thank you for having reported Oscar. We've loved your contributions to the podcast too. Yeah. Oh my God. And we have to say contraceptive diaphragm Sam for the early seasons when we had our

Sam. And Misfits. Oh yeah. The Misfits. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No shout out to Sammy for the first his time on the show. Wow, that was emotional. What a ride, huh? But we're not done yet, we've got plenty more to get through. Should we keep cracking? Yeah, let's go. Yeah, let's do it.

Let's go. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Mitch, Mitchell, Jenna. It is Bridie Carter here. I just want to send you all my love and congratulations on everything that you've done. And it's a massive achievement creating a podcast and being in it.

And I believe that podcast is ending, which might be a great relief because it's been a lot of work after many years or it might be with great sadness. I'm not sure. Anyway, whichever is happening. It's really good for change to happen and to get onto new things and clear some space for new dreams to come in. So I hope that's happening. Whatever your plans are, if you have some or none,

I'm sure good things shall come to pass. Because that's just what happens in life, isn't it? You just keep moving forward and riding that next big wave, whatever that is. Much love, whatever that is. Much love. Bye! Wow! Oh my god, Tess McCloud said my name!

She did! How little she knew about us! Mitches, you guys are ending this as such good friends, or maybe you're not. You're ending this on such a sad note, or maybe it's good. I thought it was nice. I loved that so much! I love, she's like, you know, doors open open whenever change happens, bigger and better things on the horizon. Didn't she not act again after McCloud's Daughters?

Nah, she's not bits and pieces. She was in some Channel 7 show with the guy from Packed to the Rafters. Oh, good for her, good for her. Oh, that was beautiful. Thank you so much. I love it. I had so much. A claimed star, Bridie Carter. Alright, Jenna, how are you feeling? Are you feeling like a little rummage? Oh, I'm full. My junk. We better unpack some of your junk, hey? Let's do it! Let's go!

Hmm, let's take a peek at Jenna's junk, shall we? So Jenna's junk normally is where mine and Chiri's shitty gems go to die. Because we're like, we're not going to bring that up on the podcast. It's not that interesting a talking point. We have a lot of ideas that aren't worthy for the main episode. And then it gets salvaged out of Jenna's junk. Today it is the idiot's junk because as I said, we get a lot of people writing in wanting to come on the phone with their, is it just me?

And I would love to get to all of you, but we quite simply can't. In fact, can I just say, I feel really guilty because like part of my new diversity, the ADHD, one of the things that comes with that is like rejection sensitivity. And so I feel really bad for anyone out there who's ever sent us a text asking to come on the show and maybe we haven't gotten back to you or haven't been able to line up the schedule. So I just, if that had happened to me, I'd reached out to my favourite podcasts and it didn't work. I'd feel a bit cut. So everyone out there that's ever sent in an is it just me? It's not because we thought it was shit that we didn't get you on.

Sometimes it really is this luck of the draw, isn't it? And also I'm the one choosing them, guys. I'm inherently very lazy. That's part of why you choose them, because I can't deal with the guilt. I wish I could get everyone on. No, I'm fine with it. I don't because now I'm rational. Like you said, Mitch, there's no rhyme or reason. It really is just scroll through the text messages, scroll through the Instagram, pick one at random if they're available

great. We've never looked at a message and thought no that's shit. No never not once. And so don't be disheartened if we haven't gotten you on but we've got a bunch to get through some that never made it on the show. Let's do it! Here we go. Should things still process on weekends like when they say one to three business days, packages should also come on weekends. I agree. Yeah. I fucking basically work weekends with this podcast. So why can't everyone else?

What makes it not a business day? No, but I kind of like that there's a, there's a, like it's demanded that the weekend is rest. Like otherwise, you know, we're just, everyone's beholden to the man and we're everyone's working for big companies Like I think it's nice that two days off is a universal thing for God's sake We know he said that one in by the way. No, that was anonymous. Okay. Yeah, all right They didn't put their name with it. No, all right Just says a lady's called Sue either the sweetest people alive or absolute moles?

Ladies called Sue? I don't know if I've met any ladies called Sue. None of this brings to mind. I only have a really sweet Sue. I have a sweet Sue. Like the kindest Sue ever. Who is she? She's a family friend.

Oh, okay. She's really sweet. She's so sweet. Like very kind. Oh wait, I have met a Sue. She was gorgeous at my Bougainville comedy show. She's an idiot too. Really? Yeah. Yeah. No, I don't know a mole Sue, but I feel like that the same can be said for every name Jess.

Like there's bitches that are mitches and then there's really kind bitches. Yeah, it's Jess trying to say there's no middle ground, either sweet or sour. Yeah. Yeah. Like an amaretto sour. Oh, a whiskey Serrano of course, no doubt. Yeah. Alright, next, dive back in. Coming in. Is freshly licked cat the best smell in the world? Yes, Anon. Yes. Anon. Anon. What's that? Anonymous? Anonymous text. Right. Okay. Um, what? Yes.

Explain. You've both got cats. Freshly licked cats. No, when the cat licks themselves and you go and smell it, it smells so good. I don't think I've ever noticed that. What do you mean? Explain the stench. What? It just smells like, just nice and comforting. Because I gotta say, I don't love the smell of Isabella's breath.

Is it true that cats are self-cleaning? Yes. Like that they're actually, what, is it them cleaning up their fur or something? They're so clean. I do still have to brush it to get rid of a lot of the hair and then I put this leave in shampoo stuff because of a dandruff. So she's not that self-cleaning. Right.

Connie is, I can't brush her because she thinks it's a game. So. Connie is fucking insane. I'm sorry. Connie is insane. I'll say it once, I'll say it again. That cat tried to kill me when I came to your house. She went full Mission Impossible trying to kill me. And even your to your house, she went full Mission Impossible, trying to kill me.

And even your mom was like, that's abnormal for her. So hang on, the freshly licked cat, I don't understand how that could smell good because isn't that just their saliva? Yeah, but that intertwined with their fur. It's just beautiful. I don't know why we've taken the clean approach. Could there be a world where this question

is actually R rated? Oh, freshly licked puss. Maybe it's dirty. Let's dive back in. I'm back. Is there nothing better than getting into fresh sheets with shaved legs? Oh, yes.

I love that feeling. I've never had it. And I always forget about that feeling and then when it happens, I'm like, oh yes. Beautiful. So it's from Anonymous, but they said maybe add that to your list of things better than drugs and dick. 100%.

Oh really? I'm popping that on. Oh shit, but put it on. The last one is us. Cause we've also got our contributions to the list, like the crunch of an apple, fresh bed linens already on there. Oh okay, all right, all right.

A nice cool breeze, beautiful, a high vibe of shit. That's clearly you. We added that. I stand on that. Oh don't lie, you love a fucking high-fiber shit too. They've been quite low-fiber recently too. I need to get, I need to back up them. Oh dear.

All right, next one, Jenna. Dan says, is it impossible to get a massage in Sydney without being offered a hand job? What? Yes, Dan. What? You're saying it is impossible? No, no, no, no, Yes, Dan, it's possible.

He said, is it possible, right? Yeah, he said, is it impossible to get a massage without being offered a hand job in Sydney? What? No, it's not impossible. I get massages all the time, once a month, and I've never been offered a happy ending. I don't think I've ever even had a massage in Sydney.

It's more of like a holiday thing I do. I've been thinking of treating myself to one next week. It's like a literal war after finishing the podcast. Do you have private health insurance? Yeah. You can just claim it on that. Oh, easy. But what if they offer me a hand job? That's never happened to me. I doubt they would.

But like I've been to massage places and on the front, it's like we do not offer sexual services. Really? Yes. They probably have to say that. Yes. They have to say that. I've had weird experiences in massage parlours. I don't even think I spoke about it on this show, but I did on another one. But on this on this one on this massage the lady goes to me Ah, you remind me of my brother and I went oh, that's so lovely when is your brother handsome

She's not handsome not ugly. I'm like oh, okay And then she started massaging me and then she went yeah here. I think he's gay Oh, I was like really have you asked him she's like it's too awkward. Well, how should I think he's gay. I was like, really? Have you asked him? She's like, it's too awkward. Well, how should I ask him? I'm like, Jesus Christ. I felt like love fucking Simon. Are you having this whole conversation while you've got the head in the hole? Yeah.

They're not easy to speak in. No, they're not. Jenna would know right now. I know right now. It's not easy. I wonder why Dan keeps getting offered the hand jobs repeatedly. Dan, maybe you just erect every massage and that's a you problem. Okay. Are you gorgeous, Dan massage and that's a you problem.

Are you gorgeous Dan? Maybe Dan's like drop dead gorgeous. And then people just have to touch his dick. Alright, next one. Here we go. Do you pull the wrong cord every single time you go to open or close a blind? No. Oh, I do. I've never got it right in my life. If you're putting the blind up, it's the cord closest to you.

If you're putting it down, it's the cord at the back. Is that real? Cause that's blowing my mind if the, if true. No, but a lot of the time- I don't know if every blind is like that, but that's instinctively what I reach for. I just pull whatever lever I can and pray for them to clip. Sometimes they go up and it gives me a real fright.

Do you know what's worse? Plugging in a USB. Thank fuck for USB-C now, where it doesn't matter what way it goes. An actual USB, the old school one, you're like, oh, wrong way, I'll try again. That's also the wrong way, the first one was right, I just didn't fucking get it right. I had to do it at the funeral with the video.

Is that your slideshow? And oh, what an ordeal that was. How was it? Did you, how was it? Was it a hit? Your eulogy? Oh, it was a hit, and I had to upload the video to YouTube and share it, the unlisted link.

Oh yeah. Because they loved it. I'm getting comments still. On the unlisted link. Oh, yeah. Because they loved it. I'm getting comments still on the YouTube. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Went really well with the family. I love how she treats funerals like it's a gig. Totally. Yeah, it went really well. And it was voted best eulogy in the, what was it?

Double, double estate fair. Yeah. Right back in the jungle. Here we go. Nancy in Florida. No. Says, have you ever parked in a parking lot and the car on either side of you starts to back out and you practically have a heart attack thinking that your car is the one that's moving? Oh yes! Yep, I know what you mean.

It's like you're on a roller coaster. Yeah and I'm like, whoa, with my handbrake on! Yep, totally, I've been there Nancy. And in Florida too there'd be some massive trucks and cars. That'd be scary. You can tell she's from Florida, the whole parking lot and sort of car app. Yeah, parking lot.

Parking lot. Oh, international. All right, do a couple more. Yeah, what else we got? Okay, here we go. Anthea says, do you feel awkward or like you're not allowed to take a sip of your drink when you're at the drive-through waiting for your food?

Yes I do. Yeah. Yeah, you can't touch that to get your full meal through It's fucking can now you can't it's it's just the whole meals not there You want to have a couple chips before you have a drink? That's a stupid rule to put on yourself Just have a sip if you're thirsty. It's a drive-through. There's no etiquette. I also don't eat my drop my food until I'm like on the highway I want to eat it when I'm driving. It's actually a red flag with Stephen. When we had our first like drive through date, we got it. And then I was a passenger.

No, I don't know. We were just eating and driving. Yeah. And he I start to eat and open. He's like, what? We're going home. We're going home. He's like, I can't possibly eat it in the car. Actually, he was like that the whole Bogan gate trip. I was like, guys, we'll pick up Red Rooster, but feel free to eat it in the car so we can just keep making time but oh what was it he doesn't like to have that on his hands. He likes to wash his hands after. Which I feel that because if I eat in the car while I'm driving on a road trip I'll usually pull over in the next town just to wash my hands. Yeah oh no it

would be like a three-hour drive with chicken salt on your hands. Yeah. I do understand where he's coming from. No totally totally. Any more junk? Yep. Here we go. Catherine says, does it always feel like the radiologist sees the most sinister thing in your body after you have an x-ray, but they're not allowed to tell you the result? Yeah. You've said that before, haven't you? I have.

They're like, how's it looking? Yeah. How's it looking? They're like, I don't know. I can't tell you. They can't tell you. I've had one lady tilt like a monitor screen so I can't see. I'm like, oh no, what has she seen? That's scary.

I also try to interpret it with my non-medically trained eye. So I see this big blob. I'm like, it's a tumour. And then it comes back. It's like, Mitch's lung looks great. Oh, that's what that is. But do the people taking the photos actually know what they're looking at? Can they tell if something's wrong or is that up to someone else's eyes? No, no. It is up to someone else's eyes. They need to get a radiologist, them as a radiographer, I don't know, and they give you a report. But because you do it day in, day out and you're trained, they know when there's something that shouldn't be there or something that stands out.

But they're not allowed to tell you. They're not allowed to tell you and then they're also not allowed to write the report. Someone else writes the report separately. Yeah, gotcha. But it is so scary. I get a lot of imaging done and it is, it's frightening. And then for a couple days it kind of dawns over you. You're like, people know things that I don't know. They're talking about me behind my back. Talking about my insides, my guts.

Alright, go back in. Okay, here we go. Katie says, was there always a kid in primary school that needed to be the one that had to have the last clap in assembly? I didn't know that was a thing. Yeah. Are people doing that on purpose? Yeah, it's like you clap and then... Yeah, you do hear them taper off and then it's like...

I have this weird OCD thing that I do that when I clap, I have to get 13 claps in. And even if it's like a little clap, like people are like, oh, nice. I will have to do 13. So maybe if there's like four that I haven't done, I'll be like, I think I've noticed you do that. I clap a lot. Really? If it's just me on the fly, I actually can't stand clapping. I will give like three, even if it's a fucking standing ovation, I'll just go, really? Everyone else has got it covered. I don't need to be there fucking exerting myself. If everyone had that mentality, there'd be no applause in the world.

That's true. I'm actually my own worst enemy as a comedian. I just don't clap. Yeah, you've got to clap. You want people to clap. True. Alright, what else we got? Okay. Rachel says, is the slow lane the fastest because no one moves over anymore?

Yep, that's actually true. Is the slow lane the fastest? Yeah, that's true. Sometimes it is quicker to zip into the slow lane just briefly to overtake someone. Oh, God, yeah. Because the others are clogged. I was behind someone driving so slowly in the fast lane, and I thought they mustn't be from this, they mustn't be from here,

because in other countries it's the left, like in America, the fast lanes are left. So I'm like, they must be an international traveller. I also just hate being in the fast lane, and I'm doing the speed limit, and then someone behind me gets shitty because they want to go faster. I'm like, it's actually, you're not really meant to go any faster than this. Why are you overtaking me and flashing your lights and shit? No, I find people annoying that go exactly the speed limit because you know it's the fast lane. No, you know it's the fast lane. No, but just because you want to go exactly

one on doesn't mean that other people can't go a little bit faster. What about Stephen driving? He just kept screaming whenever there'd be like someone behind him or he'd veer. There were a couple of close calls with Stephen driving in the country. He wasn't good at multitasking. He was looking for bloody windmills. He was trying to find windmills and he almost... Oh, how cute! He kept veering off the road. I was like, calm down! I know. He did... I'm like, Stephen, stop veering. I felt like a parrot.

Thank God I put that lane assist thing. Yeah. All right, dive in again, Jenna. Go, go, go. Okay, here we go. Thank God I've got that lane assist thing. Yeah, alright, dive in again, Jenna. Go, go, go. Okay, here we go. Harry says, is there nothing more humiliating than carrying toilet paper through the supermarket? Stop looking at me. Yes, I shit. So do you. I agree. Especially when you get one of these giant packs.

It's like, how much shit are you doing? Yeah, but you stock it up. You've got to stock up. I agree. I order them online, actually, but they don't even bother. If you get toilet paper on Amazon, they don't even bother putting it in a box or anything. It just arrives as it is with your name on it. Oh my god. Wait, you grocery shop on Amazon? Oh, not like, I wouldn't get fucking spinach on Amazon, but things like that. Like toilet paper, I'll just order it. I think there's another shortage in toilet paper at the moment, isn't there?

Oh, what? Oh, no. There's a lot of shortages at the moment. All these strikes. Yeah. Right. So I guess. What else is embarrassing to carry? I think toilet paper is the biggest one. Oh lube. Buying lube is so awkward because you always go in just for lube. If it's in with a grocery shop it always stands out too. Like if you've got your meds and your shakes. I don't think anyone's paying that much attention. Do you ever look at what other people are buying? I don't. That's so true. No, no. I'm more mean for the checkout chick. She's like, oh. Everything's fucking self-serve these days.

No, no. I go through, I like this. Keep them in point, but she'll be like always having spaghetti bolognese Oh big borgagnone. Oh lovely is buying some ham slices. I've seen it all before Thinking that deeply I don't think all right Jenna. Come on couple Chelsea says do you feel like people stand way too close to you on escalators? Even though there is no one else on there. GENNA Oh, this goes back to the fucking fast lane thing. You know what fucks me off? LESLIE What?

GENNA You know, there's like almost two lanes on an escalator. On the left, you're standing still, on the right, you're walking, and then there's always one dickhead blocking the walking lane, and I'm in a rush, and they just don't get the hint, and I'm like, oh, sorry, excuse me. LESLIE Yeah. GENNA Nah, they don't bloody move. LESLIE If you've got a kid, move them to the left or I'll do it for you.

Kids always just standing there looking up and like, I want to get around you. Especially if I'm carrying a box or something. I'm like, I'm going to knock this kid out. So I would suggest you move it. If I'm walking up or down, probably not normally up escalators, I'm in a hurry and I'm walking in the fast right lane and there's someone at the end that is stuck in the far right lane, I will get so close to the back of their neck and breathe down it just so they know that they have stopped me from going where I wanted to go.

Breathe down their neck? That's so threatening. Oh my god. And I have my bags from dusk and fucking kookai. I'm like ffff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff fff f Yep. Jess says, is blowing your nose and clearing everything better than drugs and dick? Oh, yes. Yeah. Absolutely.

It's a nice feeling. You know, you can feel it's a bit clogged and you blow long enough that you get that big one. You feel it go, blech, blech, blech, blech. And out it goes. Clean as a whistle. Sometimes I use that,

what is that flow thing, the nose-ish? Oh, yeah, yeah. Sometimes I use that just cause it's good to have a refresh. I don't even, it's not even blocked. I'm just like, let's do a cleanse. Of the nose, yeah, and the sinuses. I have really bad sinus problems all of a sudden. Like, you even commented on it in Bogangate. Mine are like, constantly stuffed. But there's nothing in there. They're just in flame. I can't remember if I mentioned this in the episode we did in Bogangate, but for like half an hour,

I thought that I'd sprung a leak in my tire, but it was his Mitchell's nostrils Yeah whistling. It wasn't a whistle. It was like a Which sounded like air coming out of a tire. Oh bloody hell, but because it went on sporadically for half an hour I just kept hearing was it me breathing out was it? Yep Sorry Um, alright Jenna, how many more? A few more. Matty says, should facing anywhere but forwards in a lift be punishable by law? Oh yeah, so awkward. What sociopath stands to the side of a lift?

Me. Why? Because there's a mirror at the back, I've got to check my hair. Yeah, but if you're in there with a group of people... Huh? If you're in there with a group of people... Oh, but I don't think they would think I'm being rude because they can tell that I'm checking myself out in the mirror.

Yes, I agree. If there was no mirror and I just turned my back on them, what the fuck? That's weird. But even like, say you're facing the opening of the door, even if you turn to your right or your left and just stare at the side, like, that's scary. They've got the railing on the side. Sometimes I like to lean against that, you know? That's true.

Yeah. Lift etiquette. Isn't it funny that we all escalate a class and lift etiquette? How do we all know this stuff? It's all. Yeah, it's true. It's not funny that we all escalator class and lift etiquette. How do we all know this stuff? It's all unspoken. I know. Jump back in, Ginnah. Here we go.

Lisa says, do you absolutely hate when influencers tap their nails on products and things? Hey, hey, you shut up, Lisa. If you've got them, tap them. You don't tap them. I say tap them. You would never tap on your dinnerly You can't tap on your you know chicken Kiev. Can you can you tap on it? Oh bloody will if you've got real fucking long now my nails. They are natural nails. Yes, they are They're my real nails. I'm Mitchell Coombs is wearing painted

Look at this a broken nail that one's completely Yellow, yellow, pink. Look at this, I broke a nail. That one's completely snug. It's hanging on by a thread. I hate that. I don't even have nails, but that makes me cringe. I hate that feeling. I think the polish is the only thing holding it there.

Is that your actual nail too? Yeah. I hate that feeling. They're huge. But yeah, I love it. It's satisfying to tap on things. That's fun. It is quite satisfying.

It is actually getting to the point with my nails that I'm gonna have to give them a little trim because it's getting hard to do things. Typing on my laptop here, becoming a bit of a nightmare, using touch screens, impossible. I'm gonna have to trim them back. But I'm like, look how far I've come. I'm so proud of them. They look nice and they look natural.

They actually look like acrylic sticker impressions. Thank you. All right, Jenna, dive back in. Here we go. Do you wonder why it's okay that we bury people as long as it's in a box but without one it's frowned upon? GENNA Wait what? I think like you have to put people in a coffin before you bury them, you can't just let them

raw dog the earth. LESLIE Yeah that's a good question, can you not just dump someone in a hole and say look we really weren't doing quite well for money towards the end? Imagine if that was someone's dying wish, like no just chuck me in the ground, still in a cemetery, still in the hole, still put a plaque up the top, but I don't need a coffin. I think it's a law, surely, that you need the coffin. There must be.

I also think you can do biodegradable things now. You can do cardboard caskets. Does that count? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but they're not traditional cardboard boxes. Like they're actually heavy. Well, they biodegrade, yeah. Is it just me on the fly?

Or do you think like burial's coming back around? Eh? Oh you reckon cremation had a moment? Cremation had a real moment but I feel like a burial could be coming back. Jenna, you've died a few times. What's your favourite? Berry. Yeah, interesting one.

So you've been cremated too in your multiple lives. Yes, but I just have too much fun with cremation. I like being there. You've got it. I actually forgot that that was the running joke on this podcast, Jenna Living Multiple Lies. It's been a while since we annoyed that. Yeah, yeah.

Come on, dive back in there, Jen. Get in there. Oh, she's going deep. Oh, yeah, this way. Will says, is it just me or are hickies fucked? Will, we get it, you have sex. Oh my God, Jenna was there when I came to work with my first hickey and I had a scarf on trying to cover it

That's it was like a fun novelty when you're in your early 20s and you're like, oh my god my first hickey Wow, but like how fucking thoughtless to do that to someone now like how inconvenient? Yeah I remember my first hickey. I gave it to you. I Don't remember who it was. I really don't. I wasn't out yet. Girl or guy? It was a guy, it was a guy.

And I didn't know who to call because I needed help. I remember this! I think, yeah, and I called all the women in my life. Oh, for makeup advice. Yeah, and Talisha, our friend. I do remember this. Yeah, Talisha helped because I had a family wedding. Where was it?

Oh, right on my neck. And my family did not know that I was gay, and they also didn't think I was sexually active. They all thought I was asexual, probably. So I'm like, I need to cover it up. So I had this massive hickey covered up on my neck. But now all the cousins, they all worked it out. See, what is it kind of fun as a novelty at first,

but then you're like, oh God, how annoying. It's such a power move. Yeah. Because it's like, yeah, I'm having sex. Look at me go. I got a hickey. Yeah, there might've been part of me when I had mine and Jen and I were working together that thought, actually, fuck it, I'm taking this scarf off. I want people to notice. I'm like, look at me go. I got a hickey. Yeah, they might've been part of me when I had mine and Jenna and I were working together that thought, actually, fuck it, I'm taking this scarf off.

I want people to notice. I'm like, look, I'm on it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's that? All right, Jenna, go back. Crystal says, do you get a whole different persona when you put sunglasses on? Oh yeah.

No. Really? The continuous pops out. Really? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Ready, I'll put them on. Okay. Oh, these were a great find. These are vintage Gucci at continuous pops out. Really? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Ready, I'll put them on. Okay.

Oh, these were a great find. These are vintage Gucci at Vinny's and they were $100, but I scratched off the O on the sticker, paid 10. 100 bucks is a bit steep for Vinny's, isn't it? Vintage Gucci. It's vintage Gucci. See, aren't I so much cooler now? Yeah, I get it.

What else have we got in the junk? Okay, here we go. Monique says, are espresso martinis overrated? Yes. No, they're a godsend when you need a bit of a pick me up. Really? I hate espresso martinis. I would only ever do it. I wouldn't do it for the taste. I'd only ever do it if I'm like, oh, I'm a bit sleepy and I've got to go to this event because it's like an obligation or whatever. I'll just have one that'll pick me up.

Then that's all I need. I would never drink more than one. Jesus Christ, I'd get violent. They're not for me. I don't like them. I love coffee, but they do nothing for me. Really? You don't like them? No, I don't like espresso. Oh yeah, of course Jenny, you'd hate them. I don't like them. Just stick to the amaretto salads I reckon, bub.

Yeah. Back in the junk. Holly says, do you ever think there should be pet ambulances just like we have for humans? Oh, that's a really sweet thought. How do we know that's not a thing? Well it probably is. I know pet ambulances exist. Not ambulances, pet, what are they called? Like emergency hospitals. Yeah emergency vets I should say. They exist. There's like mobile vets, emergency pet transport, but they probably just take them to the vet. Yeah they would be. I'm sure I remember wires back in the day where if you found a possum

in your backyard, it exists? Yeah, I found a pigeon that was obviously hurt and I called them and they said, just let it go. Yeah. I saw a rainbow lorikeet. That would be so hard. I don't think I've told you this story. I was walking with my friend Keisha in Bondi and we were walking and all of a sudden you hear, I was like, what was that? And then I kind of kept walking and she was like, oh, nothing.

And then I'm like, I can still hear squeaking. Turn around and there's a rainbow lorikeet there on the ground. She stood on it. Oh, that's terrible. And then I said, oh, I think you stood on this rainbow lorikeet. No, I didn't. It was like that. And I'm like, I think he stood on it. Oh, no, no, we'll just call wise. It's been hit by a car.

I'm like, sure. Had like vans I think he stood on it. Oh no no we'll just call WISE, it's been hit by a car. I'm like sure. It had like vans with a shoe sole print on its face and I was like okay so let me call WISE and they're like oh just leave it. Why the fuck are they even acting if they're going to tell people just leave it? They do wombats and echidnas and they do crocodiles and they don't do... They've got to prioritize. Birds are meaningful too. Of course and I don't want to you know degrade the lives of birds, but they've got a small staff. If it's a quiet night, I'm sure that Laura Keat, but also what can you do for a Laura Keat?

You're not going to put it in a splint. Yeah. And also who's paying the bill? Outtax is paying dollars, no doubt. Oh, I see. Right, any more done? Let's keep going. Let's keep going.

A couple more. Alicia says, does the old lady who serves you at the op shop always love what you're buying? Ah, yes, always. Your sunglasses? I've never noticed. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Alessia says, does the old lady who serves you at the op shop always love what you're buying?

Ah yes, always. Your sunglasses? My sunnies. Oh that's gorgeous honey, you should get that for sure. Really? All the time, yeah. What a bargain, only 10 bucks? Yes, all the time.

I went to the Vinny's the other day and some lady was like, I love that sweater on you, it's been waiting for you, it's been here waiting for you. I'm like, jeez, all right, it's eight bucks, I'm not gonna break the bank. When are you ever gonna see the day that they go, hate that? I wonder if they're not. That's putrid. Some people would though. You reckon?

Yeah, I reckon. They're not on commission as well. I suppose. They're just there to, you know. They're volunteers. Yeah. Yeah. Right, what else we got?

Aaron says, does the word freezer burn for things that are over frozen in the fridge make no sense? It's either frozen or burnt. But the feeling you get on the skin is that of a burn, right? Yeah, it is. Yeah, it's heat. It's weird. It's heat.

Oh, fuck. I just ran my fingers through my hair and that snapped nail just got stuck. Oh, Mitchell. I hate that feeling so much. You know when you bite your nail and you bite too much off and then you've got to bite it again and it's just like ff-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f- Jenny says, are you a really loud person in real life, but then really quiet at a comedy show? Yeah, again, I'm my own worst enemy. I don't really laugh at comedy shows.

Yeah. I just internally go, I liked that. If they make a really funny gag, I'm like, I'm just not a slow thing. That was good. But I never just go, nah! I am my own worst enemy because I need people to laugh out loud at my shows. And if I saw someone just sitting there not laughing, I'd be like, what's up your ass? Yeah. I am actually own worst enemy because I need people to laugh out loud at my shows And if I saw someone just sitting there not laughing I'd be like what's up your ass? Yeah, I am actually the same. I'm not a naturally crazy laugher

But like at your show not that you needed it when I'm at a show I will put on my big laugh because I want people to know that it's appreciated I know I heard you you were right down the back when you came to one of my comedy shows I just hear the occasional HA! HA! HA! You love a single heart, don't you?

I do. And it's earned. Anyway, again, thank you to everyone who's ever sent in, and is it just me for us. I'm sorry we couldn't get you all on the podcast. I would have loved to, but alas, here we are. Thank you for listening, idiots, and thank you for sending those in. They were brilliant. It's actually one of my favourite parts of the week, is chatting to our idiots, so thank

you. Yeah, me too. Okay, nearly time to wrap things up. We said that we were going to say a speech each. I love that that rhymes. Speech each. Yeah, we did. Well, this was your idea. To do a speech each. Yes, because we're very silly and conversational. We might not get around to saying the things we actually want to say.

We're treating it like it's the 21st birthday. You ready? I've got this dumb sound effect. I know you fucking love a sound effect. Yeah, go. So you can really commit to the theater of the mind, ready? Oh, be the shoosh please. Be the shoosh please.

I want to say a few words. Okay, oh my God. So, I mean, I've written one, so have you, Jenna. Have you written yours, Mitch? Yeah, I have. This is like the first episode of this podcast I've ever felt properly nervous beforehand. Really? I'm so nervous. I don't know what the best approach is.

Go first? I think go first. I don't want to go first. Nah, shoddy knock. I don't want to go. I'm not going. I can't go first. I'm a Mitch, Jenna.

You have to. If you was right. Jenna, do you want to go first? Okay, I'll go first. Okay. I need to get one up. Hold on, I'm not going! I can't go first! I'm a Mitch, Jenna, you have to. Ohhhh. If you're right. Jenna, do you wanna go first? Okay, I'll go first.

Okay. I need to get mine up, hold on, I'm so stressed. I've got some Viagra left over. I mean my speech. Okay, Jenna, you ready to go? I'm ready. Do you wanna do it in that costume, are you sure? I think this is gonna be on visual record.

No, fuck it, you can leave the Mona Lisa costume on if you want. Okay, I'll leave it on. You ready to go? I'm ready. Okay. record. No, fuck it. You can leave the Mona Lisa costume on if you want. Okay, I'll leave it on. Ready to go? I'm ready. Okay. Commit to the bit. Hi. Thank you everyone. Shh. Sorry. Wow. Where do I even begin?

Looking back on the last five years of my life, it's hard to find the right words to capture everything this experience has meant to me. Being a part of Is It Just Me has been more than just a podcast. It's been a journey one filled with laughter, growth, challenges and friendships that I'll carry with me forever. I'll never forget the crazy moments like recording in a coffin, a bin or in a straight jacket. Moments that were wild and ridiculous but also so full of joy. Those are the memories that will always make me smile but the truth is what made this experience truly unforgettable were the people I got to share with them with. Mitchell and Mitch, you both are my family. Over these years we've laughed together, supported each other and created something incredibly

special. What started as a podcast quickly turned into a bond that goes beyond the show and I can't put into words how much it means to me to have you both by my side. You made those hours every week feel like home and I'll always treasure that. And then there's the idiots. You are the heart of everything we did. Your messages, your passion, your unwavering support and the way you connected with us made this whole experience so much more than just a show.

I'm beyond grateful to each and every one of you. You are the best people I've ever had the privilege of knowing and I will carry that with me always. Saying goodbye to this chapter is so much harder than I ever imagined. A great one. After five years it's time to let go, but I can't help but feel so incredibly lucky. Lucky to have experienced all of this with the Mitchers, lucky to have shared it with the idiots, and lucky to have had the chance to be part of

something so meaningful. Though this chapter is closing, I know the friendships will never end. Mitch, Mitchell, we're in this for life. I'm excited to see where life takes us next, but I know that no matter what happens, I'll always have you both in my corner. To the Mitchers, to the idiots, the misfits, raving reporter Oscar, and contraceptive diapam Sam, and to everyone who's been part of this journey, thank you.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being with me, for supporting me, and for making these years the most unforgettable ones of my life. I'll miss this more than I can say but I'll never forget what we've built together. Here's to the future and to never forgetting the past. Oh that's beautiful Jenna. Well said. Cheers to that. Cheers.

Oh, cheers. It's a lot more earnest than I expected. Yeah, why? What's the tone of yours? Mine is very serious but it's just being in the room. It's just it's hard. I don't prepare. I'm sorry I stumbled over some words. I was nervous. OK, we're all in that situation. I don't like to prepare.

I can go next if you want. Yeah, right. I just don't like preparing things. I don't do well with written. I like to fly by the seat of my pants. So I don't like writing. Well, it's up to you if you want to wing this speech. No I didn't read, well let me read what I've written.

Hang on, commit to the bit here. We're at a party, you want to interrupt and say a nice few words ready? Hello everyone. Achoo! If you had told me those years ago that I would be standing here as your wife, I wouldn't have believed you. But look at us now. G-son.

G-son. Mitchell. I would never believe you. But look at us now. Jason. Jason Mitchell. This is to the idiots. Call it naive, but I never thought it was possible for me to cultivate a group of listeners like we have with you guys. Maybe it's me coming from radio and not having

an intimate connection with the audience, or at least feeling that way. Or maybe it's just that you are incredibly brilliant. You have uplifted me in my darkest of times and have made coming into the studio for the last five years so incredibly worth it. You are the reason we make this podcast. So to the idiots, thank you to each and every one of you. Yeah. Thank you. To Jenna, our fearless third wheel. Oh no, I'm gonna get sad. Oh god.

My laugh track and my North Star. I couldn't have made it through the last five years if it weren't for you. You are, hand on heart, the most genuine, I can't read there are tears, the most genuine, real and loving person I have in my life. You're loyal to a fault and beyond funny. You don't get enough credit on this show for that. But you are the glue that holds the three of us together from show number one outside the studio to episode 255 I can't think of anyone more perfect to sit between

Mitch and I over the past five years you're wickedly talented and a forever friend from a bin to a coffin to a straight jacket to the studio I love you I need a tissue! There is no fucking tissues in here! Oh there's no tissues! Hang on, I grabbed some paper towels in the bathroom. I'm crying! Oh my god that's a water toy! I grabbed a bunch. Here you go. Oh it's in my amaretto sour. Oh it's so awful on the eyes! Yeah they're real rough. That is very rough. Sorry, let me compose myself. Alright. Mitchell.

I don't quite know how to put five years of connection into words, but I'll give it my best go. You also made me write this ahead of time and demanded I didn't tell you. Did I? Yeah. You said please write it. Only you have that power over me. And that's true.

I don't listen to anyone except for you. I actually do not. There's no one that makes me get something done more than Mitchell Coombs. And that's a compliment. I want to say thank you. Thank you for holding the space for me each and every week to let my inner silly goose run free.

You helped show me that it was possible to channel my chaos into comedy and turn my personality into a product. Not into a literal sense, but you made me feel as though I was worthy of even sitting behind a podcast mic in the first place. So thank you for always laughing at my jokes, sometimes, and allowing my undiagnosed ADHD brain to let loose. Thank you for your time and hours blared into this podcast. It's no secret that without you here, there wouldn't be two weekly episodes. Well, there would be, but they would be edited in such a way that I would get every laugh because I'd just edit it that way. You are a fantastic comic, a brilliant podcaster, and an even better friend.

Looking back on the last five years, you really are the only constant in my life. And I truly don't think I will realize just how special our connection is until we aren't sitting in front of these yellow screens together twice a week. You've been there with me through love, loss, heartbreak and so much more and for that I'm eternally grateful. You're more than my co-host and my best friend. I will miss Ijum but I'll miss my other Mitch more. I'm not going anywhere. I know, I know. I'm so proud of what we've created together but more proud of our friendship. Forever a couple of Mitch more. I'm not going anywhere. I know, I know. I'm so proud of what we've created together, but more proud of our friendship. Forever a couple of Mitches. Cheers to that. Cheers to that. Oh, this is so long guys. It's a lot. Why do we do this?

I know, I hate that this was my idea because now I don't want to do it. No thank you, that was lovely. Oh, I don't want to do this. Okay. You have to, we've done it. Ready? Yeah. I'm committing to the bit. Commit.

Settle down everyone. Bit of shush please. Speech. Well, well, well. I remember when I first met these idiots over five years ago. We've had a good few years, wouldn't change them for anything. This podcast has felt like home for me in many ways because it's hard sometimes being so far...

Fuck, I've gone already. Shit. It's hard being so far away from your real family sometimes. Sometimes I feel really tired of being on my own, having to fend for myself. So I lean on my chosen family. I have a gorgeous bunch of friends off the cloud, but here on the cloud too. You people listening to the podcast are part of my chosen family because you put up with all my nonsense. You indulge my bullshit. When I get upset about Peter the Rabbit down the road from my apartment dying, I turn it into something on this podcast that everyone ate up and indulged. And I just like, there's no other corner of the internet that would have given the same level of fuck

as you. You let me be myself. And I know that I'm meant to be an influencer. I do hate that word, but that's what I'm meant to be. But the broader internet can be a bit scary sometimes. I worry about putting a foot wrong and copying shit from people, but I feel really safe on this podcast because I can just be myself completely. Fucking hell. A few years ago, some of you might remember I had a decision to make. I had two podcasts to pick from, This One and Trash Alley. My mental health was in a really bad way at the time and I needed one less thing on my plate. Logically, it would have made sense to pick Trash Alley because it would have been less work for me. We had a producer, an editor, and fucking frankly, I was paid a shitload more compared to this podcast. And yet I chose Is It Just Me because

I love it so much. It's been my passion project for five years. I love making these silly little jingles and doing what I can to add a little more flavour to the podcast. And sometimes I go down real rabbit holes where I hyper fixate on little edits I'm trying to do, but most people would never notice because that's kind of the point of editing. I was saying to you Mitch the other day, it's actually quite a thankless job because the whole point is that you're not meant to notice. No one knows. But I honestly love doing it. And I'm really proud of this podcast

for a lot of reasons. It's not like we've won any awards or broken any records. We kind of just fly into the radar, but we have our people and that's all we need. For so many of you, this podcast brings you joy. A lot of you have told us this podcast brings you comfort and it's my comfort zone too. That's been for five years. We've gotten so many lovely messages telling us that we live people up on their darkest days and that means the world to me. The last few months have really reminded me of my purpose, which is to make people feel at least 2% better and I'm going to keep doing that in one way or another. Thank you to everyone listening right now.

I've always been a bit of a weird kid, a shy and socially awkward loser in school. I was pretty quiet and when I did speak people would shut me down, ignore me or even make fun of my voice but like I've said before, you all listen to me on purpose and that's always going to be a bit weird for me. I'd still find that wild but I'll never take it for granted. Quick PSA. Don't ever let things hold you back from doing what you want to do. Just give it a crack because between social anxiety and a lisp, you would

think that I have no fucking business hosting a podcast, but here I am. Thank you for welcoming me into your routines. I'm going to miss this a lot, but it's time for a change. Frankly, I haven't been coping with the workload of this podcast in the same way that I used to be able to. I have to be honest, sometimes this job can be really isolating, sitting at home alone all day at my desk, no support or colleagues to bounce off. But at the end of the day, I have a loyalty to the idiots because I'm making them feel better. And that's

why I keep doing what I do. That's why I'm loyal to it. Um, to Jenna, I've known you for the longest in the room and you've just impressed the shit out of me in the last five years. Um, a few of the idiots have pointed out that your confidence has risen over time. And I really agree. I'm sure Mitch does too. Even though we went into this as a couple of Mitch's, I said, fuck, I want to get Jenna involved.

She's so underrated. And I'm so glad that everyone now agrees with me. I am always right. You're hilarious and all of our idiots love you. And I really hope that that confidence doesn't go anywhere. To Churi, I've given you a lot of shit over time, but if you learn anything in Bogengate, it's that that's the love language of country people.

I didn't always get the balance right in the early days. The sibling-like teasing was a bit nasty for me sometimes and I'm really sorry about that. Over five years, I know how sensitive you really are. A lot of people treat you like a punching bag. But I want you to know how much I appreciate having someone so easy to work with. Maybe it's because you do what you're told as you sit. You all know I'm very socially awkward sometimes and it can actually be really daunting doing things like interviewing people I admire like Kate Langbrook, Jeff, sorry, Aunt Bishop. But having you there, I know that it'll be okay. Whenever I feel out of my depth, you're there to make me feel safe.

And you're so capable and gifted and no other co-host is ever going to be the same. Thank you both for doing this with me. That's enough. I've come getting out of this. Thank you again to everyone listening. I'm going to miss this so much, but I know we'll keep in touch, darling. That goes for all you listening. Oh God. I'm gonna miss this so much, but I know we'll keep in touch darling. That goes for all you listening Oh god, why did we do this?

Oh Mitchell that was beautiful. Very well said Oh fuck we're all crying because I just wanted to do next to some of these jenna's It's like sandpaper Some of these crudgy sandpaper Oh my god Oh fuck That was beautiful Ah

Anyway should we go? I don't know what to do now. I need a moment. I just sort of, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. I'm shaking. Look at that. Look, all that said and done, I think we just are, the through line is that we're also proud of what we've created and we should be proud of ourselves because like a lot of work has gone into this show, so much growth together and the through line is our friendship and that will remain.

It has to. Yeah. Yeah. and we should be proud of ourselves because like a lot of work has gone into this show so much growth together and The through line is our friendship and that will remain. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. Let's not be sad I actually didn't expect to cry at all. This is so weird. I hate it. Yuck. How annoying I'm also such an ugly cryer. Once I stop crying you can see the redness for hours. Fuck. No videos this episode. None I'm just glad I'm in a moan at least Yeah, moan at least.

Yeah, moan at least. Carly's so looks distraught. It's the most unhinged fucking moan at least I've ever seen. Moan at least is leaking. So expensive. Fix the ink. Oh. Now what do we do? I think I think we end it. I think we're done. Yeah. On that note.

Thank you to the idiots for listening. Thank you for listening for five years. Yeah, just to reiterate, whether you've been here from day one or you've just found your way here recently, yeah, we appreciate everyone listening. Yeah. I don't know what's next for me and I don't know what the future holds, but knowing that the idiots are there makes me, gives me a sense of comfort. Knowing that they're there and they'll jump and whatever we do next. And trust me, gives me a sense of comfort. Knowing that they're there and they'll jump and whatever we do next. And trust me, there will be projects. You can get Mitch and I and Jenna next. Jenna audition for Better Homes and Gardens. Jenna Smedley Yes, that's true. As the hoe. Jamie O'Neil And I hope you get it, Jenna.

There's glass there. People can see me blubbery. They're watching you cry. I had to stare right at you Mitchell. Double take.

Oh, was there from, there's a lot of redundancies at this building. So it wouldn't surprise me. Super mighty empty out there, isn't it? It is. It really is. How am I still here? Um, well. Oh God.

Come on. Cover the deep breaths. We're all good. Why don't we, why don't we have a group hug? Come on group hug. Alright. Okay. End the episode. Come on. Jenna is in that thing We're all good. Why don't we have a group hug? Come on, group hug. Okay. I think that would be good.

The back catalog's there. Go and listen. We love ya. This won't be the end of us. No. We will chat soon. Love you, ta-da. See ya.

Bye. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of niches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app. Ta-da. See ya. Bye.... Heh, welcome to ADD, please. Our secret segment on the end. This is where we talk shit for a little bit, nothing's planned here. We certainly haven't written any speeches for this part. Jesus, guys, that was brutal. Whose idea was that?

Mine. Oh my god. But it's if we would have said any of that, if we were just being conversational. We certainly haven't written any speeches for this part. Jesus, guys, that was brutal. Whose idea was that? Mine. Oh my God. But it's if we would have said any of that, if we were just being conversational. I know it's true. It's true. It's very true. And we all wrote very different things.

Yeah. As I was listening to Jenna's, I was like, bloody hell, she stole some of my lines. Feeling like home. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't have any of that. I'm not good with writing. I like to-

I thought it was great. I thought it was amazing. No, that's not sweet. I don't like to write. Oh, that really got me. I was sobbing. I was like, I was great. I thought it was amazing. Yeah, that's sweet. I don't like to write. That really got me. I was sobbing. I was like, I was crying multiple tears, not one. We were talking about this last week in Vogue and we were like, do you reckon we'll cry?

And we both said, no, we're not cryers really. Because if you're putting like pressure on yourself to cry in a moment where you feel like you should, it just doesn't happen. Oh my God, that just came over me. No, no, we cried. Yeah. All the tears. Oh, wow. Definitely a weight off my shoulders after that, I just doesn't happen. Oh my God, that just came over me. No, no, we cried. Yeah. All the tears. Oh.

Wow. Definitely weighed off my shoulders after that, I've got to say, those speech bits. Now I agree, or even the whole episode, like I've been dreading doing it. Me too. I really have, it's been really like looming for the last few weeks.

For me, this is where I'm coming from personally, like I'm currently in the middle, I've lost both my radio shows, not something that I wanted to do. I'm not laughing, I'm just like, fuck. What is life? I know, this podcast is ending, which something that I wanted to do. I'm not laughing, I'm just like, fuck, what is life? I know, this podcast is ending, which I'll say it once, but I'll say it again, not connected. And we decided to end this podcast well before I was dropped from Kiss.

So I am literally now going from having 12 weekly shows to nothing. And it's scary, it's daunting. I don't know what's next. I have no idea what I'll be doing in the new year and it's really frightening. Well, that'll be kind of fun though. With all this free time in hand, you won't know what to do with yourself literally. That's true. But you'll find things to do.

I know, but I'm one of those people that get anxious about it. I'm looking forward to that too. Are you? Yeah, because I feel like I've basically just left a full-time job. It does take up a lot of my time, the podcast, which I bloody love doing it. Yeah, it's still a lot of work, regardless. It is. And it's always been like my number one priority too.

Like everything else seems to fall into second place. Yeah. Even things that pay more. Yeah. Anyway, Jenna, what's next for you? I don't know. I really don't. Yeah.

I really don't know. Can I give you guys an update on something? Remember a couple of weeks ago, there was that episode called knife fight. The cat. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. And it's because on the Maggie's Rescue Instagram, that's the shelter where I got my cat, Isabella.

They posted an ad for a cat up for adoption called Knife Fight. They were like, what kind of cruel fuck calls a cat? Knife Fight. Like what? And they actually got in touch with us and told us, no, no, that's the strategy of ours. We give them really cooked names. It's like a marketing thing. That's so smart. Knife Fight had, oh, no, that's the strategy of ours. We give them really cooked names. It's like a marketing thing.

And Knife Fight had, oh, they gave some sad, it was like 10 times more clicks than the other cats. Wow, that is genius. It's a tactic, they call it Knife Fight to get more attention. That's so smart. That's so smart. We were talking about it and it works, right?

Was Knife Fight sponsored in the end? Oh yeah, Knife Fight has a home. Oh, I'm so glad. You're not gonna choose Knife Fight. Like you're not gonna keep Knife Fight. They said they are. Really? Yeah. They told me that they're keeping the name. Also, Knifey, it's kinda cute. Knifey.

I think my exact words were, what kind of cruel fuck calls a name Knife Fight? And someone comments, me, I'm the cruel fuck. Some of the works at Maggie's. That's so funny. I'm just going through the Instagram now. Oh, Jenny, you should adopt a tsunami. Mitchell, you should take bum threat.

Back to the line. Come here, bum threat. What if we just get a cat and name it racist? Hi, racist. Racist is cute. Morning, racist. Hey, homophobe. Fucking hell. That's shocking.

Churi, it just feels wrong that you're tethered like so. We've been talking about unleashing your ADHD. I made this sound effects board for you ages ago and you barely used it. You have to. We had so many messages asking for the sound effects. It's actually true because it was like a 50-50. Some people were like, thank God he eased up on the sound effects Yeah, because sometimes they were annoying and disruptive but other times they were fucking hilarious

So just go for gold, Dalen. Now's your time. I will I will I just need to get it out Hold on What was that again? That was my distressed burp at P3 Oh My god guys, This is such a coincidence. The live tweets. The live tweets. Like I just spoke to the engineers and said a live tweet's back.

Oh my god. And he said I made it happen for the finale. Just as you give me the sound effect. And tweet is back. Live X. Bronwyn Bishop. Oh my god. She says I'm all aboard racist.

That's weird. Such a weird thing to say. WSFM time saver traffic. I knew it was time for a break. That was one of my favourites. Off the back of the laugh. It's so radio ready. Let's do a classic radio.

Ride with the chicken across the road to get to the other side. WSFM time saver traffic. Heavy on the hume, cow pasture road backed out for kilometres. Cow spill of milk on the cow pasture road. Two for one, Hungry Jacks. Chicken strips are back for a limited time only. Only at Hungry Jacks. Have you ever been in the car with someone that doesn't listen to radio that much?

They always comment if there's a traffic report. Wow, that was just so not seamless at all when the traffic reporter just suddenly starts reading an ad There was not a smooth transition at all. No, they all because you're not getting a cut back They're not getting any money. No those traffic people Awful you poor thing It hurts the nail it really hurt About this broken anyway, we're not eating up the final moments of the podcast. It really hurts. What am I going to do about this broken nail? Anyway, we're not eating up the final moments of the podcast with me talking about

a broken nail. No, we're not. We're not. But you know what we will do? What? You remember that, Janna, have you listened to the Bougangate episode yet? Yes. Yeah. You heard the sheep at the start. Yeah. Well, I've organized Jane to bring it in. Jane, bring the sheep in. Hi, Jane. Hi, Jane. We need to get out of the mic because we can't hear Jane. There's the sheep. Ah, cute. Pop it up on that stool there, Jane. Thank you, for old times sake. What's its name?

Um, I think we went with Bart. Oh, it's cute. Simpson, Simpson. Bart Simpson. Can you see Bart? Hi Bart. Mitch waved to Bart. Hi sweetie.

Hi, I wanna touch it. Oh! Poor Bart. That needed to be done. Oh. I'm crying enough today. You're gonna do that to me. Needed to be done. Oh, no. Oh, sorry. What the fuck is that? It to be done. Aww. They've had enough to die. Needed to be done.

Aww. Oh no. Sorry. What the fuck is that? It's not done. Oh! Sorry. Wasn't that a cow? No. It was a baby camel.

Ha ha ha ha ha! Your mum brought too many animals. Oh Jane! I don't have enough bullets! Jesus Christ. Jane! Jesus Christ! Where the fuck did you... You look in the middle of yourself! There's a dolphin in here!

Oh, me too, that was a big one. Oh, stop with the animal cruelty! Alright, who wants jerky? I'll just cut him up. Why does it always go to animal cruelty? It always seems to come back to that. Every time. Anyway. Be honest, do my eyes still look puffy and red. Yeah, a little.

I told you they last longer. You look completely normal again. Do I? You do. Jenny, you look normal too. We're all fine. We've all made it. How are we going for our record? I think we've smashed it. We're good.

We did it. Remember our bleep? Is that only for the C word? Oh, is it? You know, when I say... But also you said when you wear sunglasses, the C word tiness. Oh yeah. I don't have to beat that. Do I?

No, that's different. Is it? Cause it's a different meaning. Yeah. Cause if you just said the C word, non-fillable, that's nasty. No, you're right. But if you're saying with a T, if you're saying can't, that's fine. Yeah.

But if you're saying, yeah, you can't say it. No, god this disaronno memorito sour is lovely. Cheers me Jenna I don't know why I ever stopped doing that. It's because it takes over the conversation. It distracts me. It's fun. Now you see my point. Well, if it was in the radio studio, for all those that say, oh, Mitch, damn it, there's the sound effects. It was so seamless because we used the same broadcast studio I used to do my show.

Yeah, and you already knew where the sound effects were. Whereas when you're playing off my laptop, you're like, I have to read? I was panelling, I had the volume, I had control. Even listening to that omituary, there were so many different sound effects that I could do that I couldn't do now. Like the Cupid heart, the celebrate. It was just a different energy. I was more just amazed, and I'm like,

what corner of your fucking brain did you pull that from? The Cupid heart thing. I know. That was really weird. That's how I picture love when people are in love. Like a little Cupid. Doof, doof. It's the shot by Cupid.

Yeah. Oh my God, I used to do that all the time Oh my god I used to do that all the time. You loved a vibrato. That's so true. Oh I had fun. We all had fun. Yeah heaps of fun. You know we could always just drop in. You know we could just drop into the fit. We still own the feed. Yeah I don't want to lead any idiots on by saying like, we might come back in the new year. Basically, like, I'm totally not ruling it out. But mommy needs a bloody rest. Yeah, of course. Of course. No, I know. He's never saying never, but don't hold your breath is what I'm saying. Yeah, we should start posting really cryptic things to our couple images

Instagram and about six months, just like seven. And then a black screen. Black screen. Apple crumble. Easter eggs. A picture of a sheep. Do you remember, I can admit to this, when the Thinker Girls, the old night show that we met on Mitch. That was when I first started at Kiss. I was working on their then night show, the Thinker Girls. Yeah, I was their producer. Yeah, you were the panel up at the time, but they left their Twitter logged in in the studio. We would occasionally post shit. Their show got cancelled, which is not

funny now that it's happened to me. Swings and roundabouts, huh? Totally. You replaced them. Well then we would tweet things on their Twitter like two years after they left the network, just posting things like soon dot dot dot. And everyone's like, you're coming back? Yeah. All their poor podcast fans thought that they were reuniting, because after they left the radio station, they also quit their podcast, so they just ceased to exist. GENESIS Yeah, what have they done for themselves? Maybe I'll follow in their trajectory.

GENESIS But I feel like that, now that we're in this situation, how mean. GENESIS Oh, it's awful. GENESIS What do they call their idiots? GENESIS Posse. GENESIS Why do we get the posse excited like that? That's just mean. GENESIS Sorry, posse.

GENESIS But I'll say, you can just go to the Thinker Girls on Twitter or X. We just tweeted the number seven and shit. That's so dumb. Like that is very our humor. I think I tweeted four with the eyes emoji. Everyone's like, four days, four weeks, how long? Four months, I'll wait girls.

Oh, that's so funny. I think that's the first time, by the way, going back to Oscar's obituary. Omituary, that would have been better, hey? Yeah, obituary would have been good, that's all right. During that, he said that when I came up with sorry tunnel, I was stoned off my tits. I think that's the first time I've properly confirmed that. I've definitely alluded to it.

And also, it was so fucking obvious. Oh, Mitchell, come on. I was baked. Oh yeah, that was obvious. And also, I wasn't just baked. I was like, I have a feeling that might have been like a Friday. And when I was working early hours, you know, Jenna, Fridays are the worst. You've got nothing left in the tank.

So I was also fucking delirious and zoned. Not a good combination. You can hear it in my voice. I'm on the finger girls twitter. There's five, then hi, then a shocked emoji, then hi X, and then soon. Are there comments? Yeah. On soon, Karina goes, OMG can't wait!

That's terrible. Now remember how we said, I don't want to wrap things up too prematurely, but remember how we said we were going to debate about what song we should end the show with. Yes. What do you guys got? Alright, so I'm done with sound effects for good everybody. Can you do one last one? Yeah, give us a bit more.

I'll do my favourite one last one. Yeah, officially. This is what's happening to this podcast Yeah, I just thought maybe don't shut down the live tweets this yet. Just check them one more time. Oh God Darryl Braithwaite Did you yeah When I flew home to Bougainville once I was, is that fucking Daryl Braithwaite on my flight? Really? That's what he said.

Congrats to the poof that I saw on that Rex flight a few weeks ago. Here, his podcast is ending. Well done. Wow, that's nice. Oh, that's nice. It is really nice. It still has a kicked in and it's ending. Yeah, no, it definitely has a kicked in.

Like, even despite the sobbing and everything, I'm still just like, oh, we'll be back next week. Yeah. Weird. Or like we're just ending for the sobbing and everything. I'm still just like I will be back next week Yeah, yeah, we're like we're just ending for the year and then we'll be yeah Yeah, by the way, Merry Christmas everyone Would normally end the year with a Christmas episode but fuck that it's about us today. Yeah Yes, this is the end. So I have some suggestions for songs to end with you guys have any yeah I've got one. I've got one. I'm getting the gen's wearing that. And sometimes I just look at her and go, whoa, that's fucking Mona Lisa. That's Mona Lisa.

I don't question it. To me, it's normal now at this point. Yeah, I'm keeping it on. Um, do you guys want to go first with yours? I've got a couple. Mine is Vitamin C, Friends Forever. Oh, we don't like it. Graduation.

No, I'll still play it, but- Play it and we can just give it a riff. I just feel like it's a bit like, not cliche, but like it's an obvious choice. Yeah, but it will target the heartstrings. I suppose. And it'll bring, you know, heightened emotions to the table. As if they're not heightened enough. I know.

Alright. I'm fine. As we go on, we'll remember, the times we spent together. Five years. And as our lives change, no one ever, we will still be friends forever. Yeah, it's nice. It's a cliche. Yeah, it is a bit cliche. We will still be friends forever. It's a cliche. Yeah, it is a bit cliche. I'm against it.

Maybe Jenna literally does the final. Jenna decides. Yeah. Okay, my turn? You're not allowed to be biased towards yours just because. Okay, I won't. What are you thinking? My suggestion is Simply the Best by Tina Turner.

Jenna. That's a bit self-indulgent, isn't it? For us or for you? For all of us. All of us, yeah. And the idiots too. Oh, it's a good song! I'm skipping forward.

I was thinking more sentimental. Yes, I think sentimental. Simply the best! Better than all the rest! Better than anyone regrets Yeah! Better than anyone I don't mind it Stronger than I've ever needed

What about We Are The Champions? We are the champions It's not really a goodbye song though, is it? Ah, but it's like, fuck you, God, we're good, we're ending on a high, this is a Seinfeld moment We've got the biggest numbers, the most money in the bank and we're leaving Again, that just feels like we're flexing rather than dedicating a beautiful tribute. We need your suggestions Oh, I was gonna bring up where the champions but okay, I'll bring up mine. One of them is like a nice song It's not a happy or sad. It's just sentimental, but I feel like it might be a bit too dramatic

Yeah, have you guys seen that fuck? What's what's that Netflix show with Ricky Gervais? Life after death or is it? After life. Yeah, they ended the last episode with this song. It's also in Love Actually. It's Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell. Oh, it's not happy or sad. It's about going through some shit and coming out the other end with clarity.

This is too sad. I thought the same. coming out the other end with clarity. This is too sad. I thought the same. I've looked at clouds from both sides now This is my yearning song. From up and down and still somehow It's cloud illusions I recall

It's nice, but it's a bit fucking melodramatic, isn't it? It's really sad. It's not for me. I think it's too sad. Yeah, it's so sad. It's weak, because it's a bit fucking melodramatic, isn't it? It's really sad. It's not for me. I think it's too sad. Yeah, it's so sad. It's weak because it's not necessarily a sad song. It just sounds sad. It's a pensive song. Okay, here's another suggestion.

Okay. I think I brought this up on the podcast before and you both shit canned it, but I'll try again. Do it again, yeah. Okay. Oh, I'm wheeling up again. It's about being apart. Close your eyes and I'll kiss you Tomorrow I'll miss you

Who's this? I remember when you showed it to us. He played the gunshot and said fuck that off. Yeah you did! That's just very sad. And then while I'm away I'll ride home every day Isn't it nice?

Who is this? It's just some random cover on YouTube, Kayla C. Oh my god. It's not even on Spotify. So it's a bit rogue, that's an option. Okay. I'll turn her up. That's an option.

And then this is the only other suggestion I have. Yep. Ready? You'll recognise it. Yep. Ready? You'll recognise it. Yeah. Does this wake me up when September ends up? No. Aww.

Stand by me by Skyler Gray. And the moon is the only light we'll see Stand by me So darling, darling stand by me Oh stand by me What do you think Jan? Do you want the idiots to stand by us? I guess. I have one more suggestion. Sure. But I'd like to play you guys.

Do you want me to bring it up? No, no, I've got it. Oh, that's off your phone. That's shit. What is it? It's good. I think this could be a nice way to end. Ha! We could all sing it. Everyone doesn't matter Who they are It's a don't sing

That's in the band for me She hit song called Loud Popular She didn't drive very good Looking for someone to beat my drum like a drum Beating my drum like a drum So this is not a song, it's a podcast called Is It Just Me? Or Mena Kosulski Does it mean that things didn't work out.

You know what? Maybe it's too emotional. Yeah, that might just be too depressing. I agree. Yeah. Oh, Ramanakasulski. She's still on and we're not. What do you reckon, Jenna?

The ball's in your court, darling. Okay. For the final time. Jenna decides. Okay, so obviously this is a tough decision. I was leaning towards the podcast one. What was her name? Romana Kiselsky. Call loud popular.

Call loud popular, which is what that means. It was just too emotional. Yeah. So I'm gonna go with stand by me. Really? Oh wow. I'll find one. Yep.

I feel like it's appropriate because we're all going to stand by each other. Yeah. No matter what happens. I did not think I was going to get picked. Wow. You got it, Mitchell. Yep. Oh, and now every time I hear this song, I'm going to think of this bloody pot of

noise. Stand by me. I think it's appropriate. Okay. Are we doing it? Yep. We've hit the record. We've ticked our bucket list.

We've said goodbye to the idiots. Goodbye to each other. I actually want to say thank you to you both. Just thank you. It's been fun. It's been a massive career highlight for me. And I'm going to miss it a lot. I know I will. I'm going to have things that happen in my life and there's going to be no outlet to discuss them. And no matter how big or small or stupid it was, this was a safe space. And we could turn nothing into something.

The amount of times we'd go through our phone notes and find something ridiculous. This is something that no one knows, but when we were stuck for IJM's, Mitch would just be like, look at something in the room and we'll make an IJM out of it. And we would. And they were sometimes the best ones. And I think, I don't know this show worked because we're like our friendship is is real and

And that's not going anywhere. So yeah, you guys I love you guys Oh You've done it again. I just got myself back together Right now what press play? Okay. Well for the final time, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 255% better. So we do. So we do. Love you both.

Love you both. Love you all, but fuck. See you idiots. Love you. Bye, bud. Love you, bye. Fuck. See you, idiots. Love you. Bye, bud. See ya. Bye.

I hate that. Oh stand up, stand by me Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me Oh stand by me
