Starting point is 00:00:01 People do some weird shit. This is it. This is the big one. This is for the girls. This one. Some things make more sense than others. Lindsay Lohan punched in the face after trying to take a boy away from a mother. You're a good little boy. I won't leave until I take you.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Brace yourself for observations you didn't ask for. That's the line. I see it quite clearly. Get new glasses. This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. And one Mitch is clearly better than the other one. I can't agree more.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Now here's Mitch Turi and Mitchell Coons. Here we go. Welcome back. Hello. Well, welcome back to you. Can't say the same for producer Jenna. No, she's violently ill. Should we take it personally that we're only four shows in and she's already like, nah,
Starting point is 00:00:53 CBS. Oh, look, pregnancies are hard on people. Listen, I know that coughing bit chicken is your thing and you get a sore throat, but today it's me that's struggling with my voice. What's happened? Oh, first thing when I woke up, I swallowed something that I really could have done without. Oh, really? You had the date this morning?
Starting point is 00:01:12 Oh, God. Just a joke. I knew you were going to take it there. No, listen. Yeah. I swallowed something that ought not be swallowed. Right. Mouthwash.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Oh, that's the worst. It was the worst. I've never had done it before, and I'll tell you, not in a rush to do it again. That can ruin your day. How did you do it? Were you gargling and it slipped through? I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:01:30 I do this every day and it happened. You know what else I did? What? It was a very traumatic start to the day. Sounds it, yeah. Here's two things that you shouldn't attempt to do at the same time. Blow your nose while cleaning your teeth. Oh, but how would that even...
Starting point is 00:01:44 Who hates everywhere? How would that feel with your hands? Are your right hands brushing? No, I stopped brushing, so I just had a foamy teeth. Oh, but how would that even... Who hates everywhere? How would that feel with your hands? Are your right hands brushing? No, I stopped brushing, so I just had a foamy mouth. Oh, no. And just picture it all over the mirror. Between that and literally guzzling mouthwash, I've had quite an eventful day already.
Starting point is 00:01:58 That's like, what, four in the morning? Yep. So, God. Yep. We have a big show, though. But here I am. I'm a trooper. You are.
Starting point is 00:02:03 And give me a smile. No. No? Come on. No, I'm not. We have a big show, though. Here I am. I'm a trooper. Give me a smile. No. Come on. No, I am not your puppet. Okay. I was just going to say, you have a lovely smile. Thank you. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:02:13 We have a lovely show, too. Why don't you tell the people what we've got planned? Well, I know you're going to be happy about this one. Another Copping Fit chicken. This will cheer me up. I forgot. I love making a fool of you. I need to make a fool of you because I know we're getting rave reviews on this bit.
Starting point is 00:02:29 That's not so good. People are liking it. A lot of people are calling it cringe. Yeah, that's the word that I hear most often. Cringe in a good way. Yeah, yeah. As in like it's so awkward that they can't actually stand it. But what it is is a challenge where you cough to someone on the phone and see how long it
Starting point is 00:02:44 takes them to hang up. And I don't know who it is is a challenge where you cough to someone on the phone and see how long it takes them to hang up. And I don't know who it is. Yeah, I can promise you that it's someone that you don't know unless it's just a massive coincidence. So this person might not be so understanding. Okay. But we'll see. Speaking of, I'm not so understanding because this show, Is It Just Me? Yes.
Starting point is 00:02:59 I thought the name was creative. When we came up with it, we were fools. We didn't search to see if there were any competition. Yeah. First, we accidentally ripped off Chrissy Swann's autobiography and a lot of people, after we launched our podcast, pointed out to us that we are not the only people with this name.
Starting point is 00:03:13 But I believe you've been sussing out the competition. I've been searching. There's at least four other podcasts that have the name Is It Just Me? One of them is above us in the ranking. So what I've done is... Oh, so we're second. Yeah, we're second. We're second. How did we pull that off? We're the new kids on the block. No, the ratings talk.
Starting point is 00:03:27 They tell a different story. So I've got some audio from all the different shows. I've got the description. I've listened through hours of... Terrible. Audio. I'm being honest. Listen, I've not heard any of this,
Starting point is 00:03:38 but I have come up with a way that will guarantee we'll come out on top, okay? We're on Idjim not to be missed. All right, that's later in the show. Let's start the show, though, the same way we do every week. It's the backbone. It's the spine. It's the heart of Is It Just Me?
Starting point is 00:03:49 They are what I fondly refer to as idjims. I'm still not on board, even though I catch myself doing it all the time. I literally just did. It's the Is It Just Me's. We have one each, and we don't know what it's going to be. That's right. Would you like to go first? Yeah, let's start.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Off you go. Is it just me or? Am I the only person that when a computer application crashes, I actually write out a full report? Oh, when it gives you the option to do like a report thing. Yes. What is it again? An error report?
Starting point is 00:04:20 Yeah, exactly. But I have been doing this for years. I've been filling it out. I've been writing pages. What? I've been writing pages. What? I've been writing paragraphs. You go in detail. Yes, all the time.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Do you greet them? Hello. No. Sometimes I go, hi. Or sometimes I'll be mad. Like sometimes when I complain about my Uber Eats, I'm furious. And I just get straight to the point. Avocado, I'm allergic.
Starting point is 00:04:38 But other times, like this, I'll go, hi, it crashed when I had 10 tabs open. And I go into full detail until my sister was with me on my computer over the weekend and was like, what are you doing? No, I don't think I've ever done this. How long are we talking? Are you talking like full on essays? What do you say? I'm not being dramatic.
Starting point is 00:04:56 But say, for example, I'm on my computer and then, you know, out of the middle of nowhere, you get a lovely little ding. Sort of just takes your breath away. It's not a lovely ding. It's a... Yeah, that's what you got. I have a Mac Sort of just takes your breath away. It's not a lovely ding. It's a... Yeah, it's... There it is. I have a Mac, but that's the Windows version.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Yeah, you get the idea. And then sometimes you get a bit aggressive and you keep clicking it. Control-Alt-Delete, bitch. That's what you've got to do. I just often write, it says, please help us. I go, of course I'll help. So I type it in and I go, app crashed,
Starting point is 00:05:21 had too many tabs open. Then I tried to open Spotify. Then I had the search tab. Then I had YouTube. This is the fourth time it's happened. Thanks, Mitch. Send it off. Really?
Starting point is 00:05:28 Yeah, all the time. See, I think because of my abandonment issues, I'd just be offended if they don't get back to me. Do they ever get back to you? Yeah, no, never. That's the thing. Why bother? No, you're not wrong.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Does it ever fix the problem? No, no, it has never. It continuously happens. You're a serial time waster. Yeah, you're not wrong. You're listening to Is It Just Me? A podcast by a couple of midges. But then again, I'm a sucker for feedback.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Like, I went to Ikea and I walked out, got a hot dog. One dollar. They're great, those things. Really? Yeah, really cheap. It's probably horse. I'm definitely afraid of Ikea in general. Really?
Starting point is 00:06:02 I stay away. Oh, no, I love the stuff. I love me some architecture. No, it's too busy, too many people I stay away. Oh, no, I love the stuff. I love me some architecture. No, it's too busy, too many people, the parking. Yeah, there's a lot going on. But when you walk out, it's very futuristic, very Scandinavian. That poor girl, what's her name? Greta Thunberg?
Starting point is 00:06:14 I love it. It's just this white device with a bright red angry face, then like a yellow face, and then a happy neutral blue, and then a green. And you just rate them. You just tap it as you walk out. Oh, so you just punch the face that you think resonates with you best. Yeah, and they're big and they're soft and they're squishy.
Starting point is 00:06:30 It's so Scandinavian. And I just go, boop, let's go close. Give them good feedback. Who needs negativity? So wait, but this is the computer errors. That only happens when it's negative feedback. So you're not a sucker for feedback when it's positive. No, but I'm never rude.
Starting point is 00:06:44 I'm never rude. I never go, my Photoshop crashed. Fix it. But have a nice day, Fajish. I'm doing my granddaughter's invitation to a wedding and it's crashed. My Comic Sans was at 72 and I don't know how to get it back. Anyway, let's get into my Is It Just Me, shall we? Is it just me?
Starting point is 00:07:05 Or? Is introducing your date to your mates the most daunting thing ever? Yeah. Yeah. Oh, God. No, I couldn't agree more. I've only gone through this recently. As you know, I'm seeing someone at the moment.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Yeah. And he says to me, I'd really like to meet your friends. And I thought, oh, shit. Because the last time this happened was like nearly a year ago that I introduced this guy I was seeing to my friends and I never saw him again. Hold on, I didn't get to meet this guy. Did I meet this guy?
Starting point is 00:07:34 No, I only introduced him to two of my friends. His name was Blake. Funnily enough, the current guy's name is also Blake. It's got to give a thing for Blake. Apparently I have a type, yes. So the other Blake, he met my friends and i never saw him again and so when new blake says i'd like to meet your friends i was like oh fuck me history's about to repeat itself yeah love my friends dearly wouldn't trade them for anyone or anything but
Starting point is 00:07:55 god we're just we're just too bizarre for some people to process you're a lot they see i'm one of the friends and it is a lot You're not even my date and I was reluctant to introduce you to my friends because I was like, oh we're just so foul I was at your house the other night but one of your friends was talking to herself in a handheld mirror for 20 minutes You don't think that's funny?
Starting point is 00:08:18 Well, I mean now I do, I'm now knowing her but for an outsider looking in, that is some real asylum shit But anyway, I agreed for this to happen. We rock up to the house. I've got some friends waiting. I was like, you be on your best fricking behaviour. To the friends?
Starting point is 00:08:32 Yes. I was like, if you repulse another man, I'm going to have to make some rearrangements when it comes to my friend circles. I walk in with old mate. And what should my friends be doing? But flicking through my creative cursing generator. What's that?
Starting point is 00:08:53 Well, I've got it here for you, actually. So I'm going to hand it over to you. Yeah. People listening, picture a calendar hanging on a wall that's been cut in half. There's a word on the left and a word on the right. Depending on what page you turn to on each side, it generates a different curse word. Oh, I get it.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Okay. So open a random page on the left, Mitchell. Yep. Yep. What have you got? I've got wiener. And now open a random page on the right. Wiener twister.
Starting point is 00:09:17 There we go. Can you talk into the mic, please? Sorry. I'm very excited. Wiener twister. Anyway. Wiener twister. Do another one.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Dildo rag. There we go. That'm very excited. Wiener Twister. Anyway. Wiener Twister. Do another one. Dildo Rag. There we go. That's very funny. So anyway, I walk in with this man that I'm potentially trying to impress and there are my friends going, bum face. Willie Knuckle. Oh my God. And I was like, for fuck's sake.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Was he into it? It was a bit much, as you can imagine, at first. But he was into it after a while. After a while he was like, flat biscuit! There's really dumb insults in here. Ready? Yep, yep, yep. Okay, turning on the left.
Starting point is 00:09:56 Fanny Nugget! Rather not. I'll pass. The problem is you're going to take him to your next family event and he's going to think they're involved. He's like, love would have met you, mudsucker. You're like, no! No, no, no. Is it just me? You can follow the show online.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Just search couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a dickhead. Now, I actually have met him. We met on the phone, right? Well, that's not meeting. But it's a conversation. We had a good, in-depth, at-length conversation. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:22 So, and I'm arguably a close friend of yours and business partner. So how did that go? Can I actually tell you, and I'm not making this up. The first thing he said to me after getting off the phone from you. Yeah. Well, it wasn't even a word. The first sound he made was. Oh no.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Because you were showing off. I was. That's really impressive for you. Well, he was just like, whoa, that was exhausting. Well, I was driving through traffic and I was exhausted. He's an introvert like me, so when you're showing off and being a lot, it can be positively draining.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Well, he gave it back, to be fair. He didn't really keep up. Yeah, he did. Then he had to have a lie down. It was hard. You wrecked him. Speaking of lie downs, I had to have one of these. I'm still recovering from coughing fit chicken. Oh, yes, back in episode one, we did coughing fit chicken. We did.
Starting point is 00:11:06 To Ben Fordham. And it's time for another one. Let's do it. And now it's time for another round of coughing fit chicken. You know, I have a feeling this segment is going to become like a bottle of red wine. What do you mean? Well, I feel like every time I cough at home, for a completely normal reason, dust will fall off my ceiling fan,
Starting point is 00:11:27 and I'll inhale some two-minute noodle fluff. Oh, you're not the worst. I know, it happens more than you'd expect. And I'll go, oh, no. And I'll start. So I think the longer we do this, the worse my perpetual death cough is going to get. For anyone who hasn't heard this segment,
Starting point is 00:11:42 Coughing Fit Chicken, we've only done it once before. Episode one, Ben Fordham from 2GB and Channel 9. We called him and you coughed to him on the phone for two minutes and six seconds. I set the bar very high. It's a game of who hangs up first. He hung up.
Starting point is 00:11:56 I honestly thought you were going to chicken out and today I think you're going to be the chicken. Well, you know, it depends on the situation. If they're very nice, I freak out. But with Ben, we know him. So I sort of thought, you know what, I'll make it as cringe as possible and I can call him after. Well, I can guarantee today you will not know this person. Because I know how much you like to be liked.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I made sure that it was someone that you were very unlikely to run into in real life as well. Oh, no. Who am I ringing? Well, Mitchell, I'm glad you asked. Today you will be calling a library in the small Western Australian town of Busselton. Where did you get that from? I don't know. I just googled small towns
Starting point is 00:12:31 in Western Australia and I'm like, Busselton. That's like a fake name. Isn't that where Elsa's from? It sounds like a suburb that you made up. It does. Yeah, it does actually. Oh shit. Okay, send me the number. I'll dial it. You're just going to make some sort of inquiry. I'll leave that up to you. Okay, book. I'll do a book. I'm here just going to make some sort of inquiry. I'll leave that up to you. Okay, book. A book. I'll do a book.
Starting point is 00:12:46 I'm here with the stopwatch. Okay. And I've only got one point to give. It'll either go to the caller or another point to you. And I'm already on one point. Yeah, because Ben hung up first. Surprising. Very surprising.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Okay, I'm dialing it up. I reckon it's going to be you that loses the point today. If she's a 60-year-old librarian, I can just picture her with her glasses on the tip of her nose, almost falling off. Hello? Good afternoon, Therese speaking. Good afternoon, Therese. Hey, very quickly, I'm after a very specific book. I'm wondering if you could help me find it, locate it.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Yes. Do you know the title or the author? Yes. I don't know the author, but I'm pretty sure the title is Dragonology. It's a book I had when I was a kid. Okay. Sorry. It's all right.
Starting point is 00:13:39 I'm back. Okay. Oh, sounds like you might need some water. Yeah, I think I do. I'll get some. I'm back. Okay. Oh, sounds like you might need some water. Yeah, I think I do. I'll get some. Is it Dragonology, the complete book of dragons? Oh, yeah. I'd want all of them.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Every single one. Okay. I'll take them all. Okay. Busselton doesn't have a copy, but there's a number of other libraries that do. Anyone's near Busselton? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Excuse me. Sorry, I need to get away from the phone. If you don't have it, what about Del Toro Quest? Oh, yes, we've got a number of those books. Yeah, so we're linked with many other books in the South West, so books that we don't actually have, we can just order from another library and have it sent here within a few days. Yeah, well, I'll take...
Starting point is 00:14:44 Yeah. I'll take... If I could get... Sorry, I'll take... Yeah. I'll take... If I could get... Sorry, I can feel it coming. Oh, God, it's the fog. I'll take the drill down to request... Do you want to just go get a drink of water and I'll... Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Yeah, yeah, yeah, go do that, go do that. No, I had to hang up. yeah, yeah. Go do that. Go do that. I had to hang up. I didn't know what to do. You didn't even make two minutes, Mitchell. I was like, oh, no. Oh, well, I guess that point goes to the caller. And you, my friend, were the chicken this time. She was so lovely.
Starting point is 00:15:19 I knew it was going to happen. No. Where did you think of dragonology? Why was that front of mind for you? I have no idea. I loved them as a kid. I'm more of a Piratology man myself. I'm not surprised. What about you? Oh, she was beautiful. What a lovely lady. Do you need water? Yeah, I think I do.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Okay, grab water. Oh my god. You're listening to Is It Just Me? Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app. Can't think of anything nice to say? Just hit five stars and tell them why you'd rather be buried or cremated. All right, now, before we go,
Starting point is 00:15:51 I believe you've been sussing out the competition, Mitchell. Well, I can't really call them competition, let's be real. Well, they just happen to have our namesake. And in all fairness, they were there first. Yeah, they were. A lot of people have pointed out to us that Is It Just Me, this podcast that we're making, isn't the only one on the iTunes store with that name.
Starting point is 00:16:11 I'm now telling people to search couple of Mitches because we are the only people that come up when you search that. The problem is there's at least one, two, three, four other Is It Just Me podcasts. So I've been told. One of which comes up before us. They're beating us in the ranking. This seems to bother you. It does. It pisses me off.
Starting point is 00:16:23 I just, I don't, I'm not bothered by it because it's actually not that creative let's be real in fact you know tanya hennessey yes um she does radio viral videos all sorts of stuff she i was talking to her about this podcast just chatting to her about the idea and what we were doing before we launched and she says oh for god's sake i was gonna i was gonna call my podcast that because she was working on something as well oh she can just stick to cereal so many projects happening let us have it i have been um i have like an hour drive after my show at night finishes yeah and i always listen to podcasts so i've listened to every other is it just me oh god okay i've found some things um i'd like to start with you're not going to shit can them are you no i'm not going to shit can them no and i don't want anyone to give any
Starting point is 00:17:03 negative i feel like that's actually well are you just going to shit can them, are you? No, I'm not going to shit can them, no, and I don't want anyone to give any negative feedback. I feel like that's actually... Are you just going to point out everything that they've done well? That's going to make me feel insecure. Don't point out what their strengths are compared to us. I just want to see what they're doing differently, you know? Okay, cool. Coles look at Woolworths and it inspires them. I'll go in with an open mind. Correct. This will inspire us. This is the first Is It Just Me, which is
Starting point is 00:17:19 above us. I'm getting nervous. So if you search, this one comes up in first place. It sure does. Great logo too. It's Is It Just Me? Joe Elvin and James Williams. The team who brought you Glamour. Hey, it's okay. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:32 That team. Yeah, that was great. Sorry, I'm going to not be a bitch about it. No, no, no, no. They bring you the funniest, weirdest, and most pressing dilemmas from social media to mental health to bra washing. So there you go. Well, that's a niche that we shan't be exploring, bra washing.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Definitely, it's just them. I've got some audio. I've got a taste. You ready to hear it? Go for it. Hello, everybody, and welcome to another episode of Is It Just Me? The podcast that basically is just me and my lovely co-host, Jo Elvin. Am I lovely?
Starting point is 00:17:59 You are lovely. You've never said that before. You've had a tough commute to get here. And I've got a cough. I know. Sorry, everyone. Oh, my gosh. I'm James Williams, the other host. You have a cough, sweetie. I've always got a cough. I know. Sorry, everyone. Oh, my gosh. I'm James Williams, the other host.
Starting point is 00:18:07 You have a cough, sweetie. I've always got a cough. Let's just pause it there for a second. They've already stolen my bit. Yes. Us but British. I would never call you my lovely co-host. No.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Actually, in the opener today, you said the word lovely. Oh, my God, I did. We're turning into them. You are morphing into them. Subconsciously. First, we seal their name, and now we're sealing their bloody adjectives. I don't want people thinking we stole the cough from them. She just has some sort of illness.
Starting point is 00:18:32 She's just under the weather. She's not doing it as content. It's not a fake cough. No, she's just sick. Anyway, we'll carry on. We'll carry on. I've got my water. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Oh, listen to- God, she's so down to earth today. We love her already. I'm going to give you a big intro. Oh, sorry. Yeah. I'm not here. You've ruined the podcast. Anyway, yeah, She's so down to earth today. We love her already. Yeah. I'm going to give you a big intro. Oh, sorry. Yeah. I'm not here. You've ruined the podcast.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Anyway, yeah, it's all gone now. Yeah. Anyway, as you know, everyone, this is your weekly fix where we give, you know, the very silly, stupid stuff in life, the due gravitas we feel it deserves. So we're going to go on to discuss some very serious topics. But as ever, we are joined by a third wheel.
Starting point is 00:19:02 I have to stop it there. The due gravitas we feel it deserves. That is the most eloquent thing I've ever heard. Yeah, they're already beating us all. I'm going to change our description to the due gravitas we feel it deserves. Oh, that is great. Now, the problem is I'm going to make it worse for myself. You are going to want to join this team after you hear who they've got.
Starting point is 00:19:20 I already feel really insecure. Yeah, they're very good. Yeah, they are. And they're offering very different things. Yeah. I already feel really insecure. Yeah, they're very good. Yeah, they are. And they're offering very different things.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Yeah. Their guest, I think, will make you the most jealous you've ever been in your life. I think if I came to you and said I've got this guest. Big call, Mitchell. I know, but just you wait. You ready? Yeah, all right. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:19:36 And they don't come much bigger than this wheel. She's quite frankly a titan of the pop world. What a wheel. What a wheel we have. She's a hell of a wheel. She's sold 40 million records worldwide uh she's pretty much one of our biggest pop exports and we can't quite believe she's actually agreed to do this podcast this week we are delighted she's back after a break
Starting point is 00:19:54 of six years since our last album and i think 15 years since the last thing who is it and i've locked the door so don't worry there's no can't get out now it's too late we are delighted to welcome dido to the podcast. Dido! That was quite the welcome. I was wondering who was turning up. That was just like. Yeah. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yeah, they got Dido. Why don't we have bloody Dido on our show? We can't even keep producer Jennifer one show. Oh, my God. That's so true. All right. So that's Is It Just Me number one. Arguably a better show.
Starting point is 00:20:23 And so they're the one ahead of us, right? They're ahead of us. When you search the name. Yeah. Okay. And I'm not actually mad about that. They deserve to better show. And so they're the one ahead of us, right? They're ahead of us. When you search the name? Yeah. Okay. And I'm not actually mad about that. They deserve to be there. Yeah, they have died, though. They are, I will add, though, behind us in the rankings.
Starting point is 00:20:32 They've got 4.5 stars and we have five. Oh. How many reviews have they got? They've got half than we do. Really? They've got 25. We've got 45. Oh.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Yeah. I'm so surprised because they are quite blatantly better than us. No, I know. Now, tone changes when you hit Is It Just Me number two. Okay. They're behind us. I was about to say, what's it called? No.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Is It Just Me one, the Brits. Okay. Smart Brits. Oh, here we go. You've got the album covers. Is this the black and white one? Yes, black and white one. It's a child screaming into a microphone.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Oh, that's a mood. It's as if he's just stubbed his toe. Just read the description. Don't be nasty. No, I will not. It, that's a mood. It's as if he's just stubbed his toe. Just read the description. Don't be nasty. No, I will not. It's been going since 2017. It's got one star and one rating. The rating is terrible.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Oh. Yeah, that's what it says. Okay, let's not kick them while they're down. Go on. I point out what's wrong and I want to know if only I feel this way. Is that the review? No, that is the description of the podcast. Oh.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Yeah. And I don't hate it. Here it is. Time. Five seconds. And now it's time for me to fuck some shit up. What's up, everybody?
Starting point is 00:21:35 It's been a while. It's September 2nd. Should I put the dates on? Yeah, fuck it. September 2nd, 2017. How the hell are you? Well, you know, just because you say what date it is, that doesn't mean that actually verifies what date it is. Hey, check it out, everybody.
Starting point is 00:21:56 It's August 14th, 2011. He's wasted. Yeah. How the fuck are you? Oh, he's not there. And now, depending on what time you tuned in, you have no fucking idea when I recorded this. 2011? He's wasted. Yeah. How the fuck are you? Oh. He's not there. And now depending on what time you tuned in, you have no fucking idea when I recorded this.
Starting point is 00:22:11 It's only one of these two days. Or a third. Anyways, yeah, I'm fucking mad. So I thought I'd just turn the microphone on. I just got a couple things built up. There we go. It sort of just went on for an hour and a half at that pace. Do you know what?
Starting point is 00:22:26 I don't hate it. Next week, let's experiment. Instead of writing down things that we notice or that piss us off and then we come back and talk to each other about it, in the heat of the moment, let's just whip out the iPhone voice memo and go, right, listen to fuck here, rant, and then we play it to each other and discuss. All right, challenge. Let's experiment next week with that.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Because he just sounds like he just thought of that out of nowhere. He just rolls out of bed and goes, right, I'm here and I'm angry. Off we go, bitch. I did listen for a bit longer. I listened to episode two as well. And he had some good points. Did he ever get hassled by the hygienist at the dentist's office? As in before or after you played?
Starting point is 00:23:06 I have no idea, but that's the point he was making. So I have to say that is just you. Yeah, I think it is. Awful. God. Let's move on to the next one. This one is number three. Talking to the mic.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Sorry. I am, aren't I? You were like, all right, next one. God. I mean, I know I wanted you to get out of radio mode, but fuck, nail the basics. Sorry. This podcast, one star rating as well, 2018 to 2019.
Starting point is 00:23:27 I love how you keep pointing that out. They've seemingly quit. They've seemingly given up, haven't had an episode for a year. Oh, they've got a nice abstract pink thumbnail. They do, yeah. I like it. Sean, Lou and Joel, three long-time friends, discussing life, love and all the inconsequential things in between
Starting point is 00:23:47 while dropping casual shade and pretending to know how to podcast. They're open from the get-go. Problem is, episode one couldn't even get the name right. Welcome to It's Not Just Me. Are you kidding? They got it? It's Not Just Me. Episode one.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Welcome to It's Not Just Me. Okay, I'm taking notes of what we can learn from listening to these other podcasts We get the name wrong Alright guys, welcome to another episode of Do You Reckon? Do You Reckon? Surely I'm not the only one What are some other options for It's Just Me in case we get... There aren't many No
Starting point is 00:24:19 Oh, go on, admit it, admit it There we go That's what we should have called it Admit it! I think you're right That's all we need to hear on that one Okay, alright, moving on That's all it. Admit it. There we go. That's what we should have called it. Admit it. I think you're right. That's all we need to hear on that one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:27 All right. Moving on. That's all we need to hear. Good, good. Final one was released last week. Bullshit. Very similar launch date to us. Does that make her newer than us? Makes her newer than us.
Starting point is 00:24:37 No, newer than us. Newer than us. Oh, wow. Okay. God, we've started a trend. Hold on. She launched on the 29th of September. No, we're newer.
Starting point is 00:24:44 We're newer. Yeah. This is Caitlin West. We're newer. Yeah. This is Caitlin West. High production quality. Really? Not as many ratings as us because, you know, she's only new and obviously isn't coming off the back of other successful podcasts. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:55 This is episode one. It sets up the show. Safe to say. Oh, she's pretty. She's got herself on the cover. Yeah, it looks like Tandy Phoenix. She looks like Noor Lahafna. Who?
Starting point is 00:25:04 Remember she used to be that chick that was on Channel 7? No. Oh, never mind. She looks like, who's the one that got arrested for driving? Paulini. Anyway, this is Paulini's wise words of wisdom. Hey guys, and welcome to Is It Just Me? The safe space podcast where we discuss being human and connect over stuff that makes us feel alone.
Starting point is 00:25:25 podcast where we discuss being human and connect over stuff that makes us feel alone every episode will tackle validating the human experience to show you just how awesome sane and not alone you really are my name is kaylin west all right let's do this thing very promising right yeah i think she's taking a really mature approach to the concept yeah what i've got to say all these podcasts have listened to the angle that they're I've got to say, all these podcasts I've listened to, the angle that they're coming at it from, whether it be wellness or anger, they seem a lot more passionate than we are. Well, no, you're not wrong.
Starting point is 00:25:52 We're just like, what up? No, Caitlin's very holistic, takes it from a really wholesome point of view until you get about halfway through the podcast and her strategies. Her idjim. Yeah, her idjims, as I like to call them, start to become clear. Talk to yourself. Yeah, her idioms, as I like to call them, start to become clear.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Talk to yourself. I know it sounds bananas. Whatever. Who cares if it does? I know. But it's one incredibly effective way to figure out exactly what's going on on the inside of you. No, I think that makes perfect sense. Are you kidding? And she's completely correct. It does sound bananas. But I see what she's's completely correct. It does sound bananas. But I see what she's trying to say. I think that's a good point. I'm going to bloody subscribe to this. I need some of that. I'll send it to you.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Is it Kaylin West? Yeah, it's Kaylin West. Kaylin West. I need some of that in my life. Wow. We do have to say, if you go and search these podcasts. This is what I'm saying. So I said to you, we can't play these podcasts on ours and then slag them off.
Starting point is 00:26:44 Of course, of course. play these podcasts on ours and then slag them off. Of course, of course. Albeit, we do want it to be known that we are the superior Is It Just Me podcast. I mentioned that we have a way that we're going to come out on top, but it is not
Starting point is 00:26:56 an evil way. Our method? We would like everyone listening right now to kill them with kindness. A lot of them don't have as many reviews as us no because they probably don't beg as heavily as we do we have like 17 sweepers a show asking for people to leave reviews and every time someone does we repost it on an insta story like someone said something exactly by the way if you haven't left a review yet it
Starting point is 00:27:18 actually is valuable it is please do it bumps us up yes but we think go to their go to their podcast yes give them five stars yes Yes. But in the review. You've got to mention us somehow. Yeah. And it has to be in the air of positivity. So one thing you might say is, oh, I love this podcast. This is the best attempt at an is it just me since Mitch and Mitch. Oh, that's good.
Starting point is 00:27:39 There we go. So you've got to compliment them but promote us at the same time. That's your challenge. And send us your reviews on Twitter. The best one we're going to shout out next week. Or we'll put it on our socials. Can we do that? You seem to have made up your mind.
Starting point is 00:27:50 I don't run the social channels. No, it's fine. Go for it. You've got the password. You can do that if you like. But yeah, I don't want to slag these people off. No. Because they're all very different.
Starting point is 00:28:00 One of them is a wasted man just screaming into the void. One of them is this holistic woman who clearly seems to have it all together and wants to tell everyone else how they too can have it together. We're just fucked. Yeah, we have no credibility at all. No. And the second one's beautiful British accent. And they get dino.
Starting point is 00:28:17 Oh, yeah, God. They belong in the number one spot, I've got to say. Yeah, they do. That made me really jealous. But, of course, while you're in the spirit of a leaving review, don't forget to leave us one. Yep. We're about to get out of here.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Thank you for listening to another edition of Is It Just Me? Great to have your company, as always. Next week, it's going to be huge. Can we tell them what we've got planned or not? Okay. We can't tell them what we've got planned, but since Producer Jenna isn't here, I was going to say.
Starting point is 00:28:42 We do have a prank that involves her being out of her comfort zone. And she doesn't know what it is because we've already done it. Also, it really could make her career. Like this could put her on the map as one of Australia's biggest media personalities. But because Jenna is quite a shy person, we know she's not going to like what we've done. We'll never do it herself. No, that's why we've had to go ahead and do it for her. Poor thing's going to kill us as well.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Don't say any more. She's going to be listening to this show for all the clues she can get her hands on, but we shan't be saying any more. All I'm saying is you're going to want to tune into episode five. Next week, we'll be back. Leave a review. I don't know why I even attempt the social. I do it every week and I stumble.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Couple of Mitches. No, you've got to. But it's at Couple of Mitches. At Couple of Mitches. If you want to follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, at Couple of Mitches. We will see you there. All right, guys.
Starting point is 00:29:23 See you next week. All right, bye. Is it just me? Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app. Okay. We're back. This is the secret segment, people. I hope to God you haven't told anyone about this segment.
Starting point is 00:29:43 It's a secret. We've made that clear. This is AD Debrief. This is where Mitch and I give ourselves permission to let our – how do you even describe it? Well, you let your hair down, literally. We give ourselves permission to just talk shit unstructured, unfiltered, because we both have a very short attention span and an inability to stay on track as far as focus goes. And so we just thought we'd set aside some time for that and try and keep the show as tangent free as we can.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Although that has not been achieved. It's a tight knit show. We go on tangents though. We really do. Anyway. So the rule of listening to this segment, because what we hope is that everyone tunes out after the show finishes and we've made it pretty clear that, you know, oh, bye-bye. See ya.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Bye. And then everyone just turns off their phone. If you're still here, it's your fault. The rule is that you can't leave a review or rate us or even recommend us by word of mouth based off this part of the show. Yeah, exactly right. This cannot sway your opinion whatsoever. It's the demilitarised zone.
Starting point is 00:30:40 We're Chernobyl. Nothing happens here. Just barred, dead, gone. I would say it's more appropriate to say we're Switzerland. Neutral. Yes, of course. Neutral territory. We shan't be allowing hate in this space. Couldn't agree more. If you hate the show and leave a shit review,
Starting point is 00:30:53 so be it. Has to be from the main content, though. Can't be from what happens here. Yes. Because I've got nothing planned here, do you? No, I've got nothing to say. Absolutely nothing. That's the problem, though. We should talk about your boyfriend. Are we calling him boyfriend? No. What are we calling him? I told you, I'm just seeing someone. You poor thing.
Starting point is 00:31:07 How long were you and Hayden dating before you weren't a thing and you actually... Oh, there's a weird period, especially if someone's more into it than the other. Like me, oh my God, I'll see someone I like and we're married. I would marry someone in my head. You are like that. Yeah, I'm very romantic. Whereas I don't hate it because I want to smack a label on something ASAP. I'm quite happy cruising along.
Starting point is 00:31:27 It's just when other people ask. Like you've just done. Oh, do we call on your boyfriend? I was like, no, we don't. No, I know what you mean. It probably took maybe six weeks, eight weeks. Oh, okay. But we were talking for maybe three or four before that.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Before you met? Yeah, before we met in person. We were DMing. My attention span, even with the dexamphetamine pills I take, is not that big. Really? Three weeks of talking. Yeah. As in by texting.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Yeah. Have you gotten the new iPhone update? Yeah, love it to bits. What's with the thing where you don't have to lift your finger to text anymore? Oh, yeah. They're like, oh, this will make typing quicker. And I'm like, will it? I'll send you one now.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Ready? It's like drawing on your phone. Like you're scribbling a Snapchat. Okay, let's do it. Let's do it. You know what it looks like? You know how people have Samsung Galaxies? Awful people.
Starting point is 00:32:12 And they have their passcodes that are like a whole bunch of dots and you've got to do a little. Oh, yeah. That's exactly what it's like. It forms a pattern. Oh, it is like a bloody Android. So you send me a message. You go, hi, Mitch.
Starting point is 00:32:20 How are you? And try. I'll do the exact same. All right. Oh, okay. Well, so far it's working. I've just done it. You have to lift your finger for the space.
Starting point is 00:32:28 I fucking know, mate. I've had the update for a bit. Oh, we've done it. Oh, I actually got it wrong. I wrote, hi, Mitch, hi. Oh, you wrote, hi, Mitch, hi, are you? Sorry, what did I write? Hi, Mitch, hi, are you?
Starting point is 00:32:38 Hi. Oh, you and your fucking sound effects. They're not mine. Oh, here we go. One came in. Someone said, Mitch, it's so good to finally see you happy. The years of bitter, bitter, bitter resentment I've noticed in your eyes and your face. Oh, this is me.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Yeah, not me. They didn't clarify which Mitch. Well, it's you. They've tagged you. They're just happy to see you happy. If this is your first time listening to AD Debrief, Madam Fat Mitch over here thinks it's funny to go rogue on the sound effects board and just pretend that people are live tweeting, even though logistically it's not possible because we don't tell people when we're recording the show.
Starting point is 00:33:13 And more to the point, even if they knew, hey, we're recording right now, they wouldn't be able to give feedback based on what we're saying because it isn't going live. It's pre-recorded. That's what you think I said it on. We pre-record the podcast and we upload it. It's like you can't live comment on a YouTube video. Guess who's live listening? Who?
Starting point is 00:33:26 Tracy Grimshaw. She is not. Yeah, she is. She said she loves it. She wouldn't. God, we send a lot of voice messages to each other. Should I play one out and see what it is? Just at random.
Starting point is 00:33:35 Let's try. This is you talking to me. Oh, what'd I say? I think we should make this Coffee Fit Chicken not the celebrity one. Ah, there we go. A bit of work. And didn't you fucking listen? Yeah, I did. Because I don't want to ruin all your celebrity one. There we go. There you go. A bit of work. And didn't you fucking listen? Yeah, I did.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Because I don't want to ruin all your celebrity contacts from the get-go. No, I have a feeling they're not going to work. I think they're outdated. I tried to ring Sophie Monk the other day. It went straight to Message Bank. And I thought, her phone's off. Why were you ringing Sophie Monk? Love Island.
Starting point is 00:33:57 Personal stuff. I'm at Love Island. Yeah, she's in Greece or some shit. Yeah, I tried to ring her the next day. Declined again. So I think she got a new number. Well, she's still in Greece. shit. Yeah, I tried to ring her the next day. Declined again. So I think she got a new number. Well, she's still in Greece. The show is still on.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Yeah. But anyway, there's plenty of people in that phone book that we can... Look at that. What is that? Back and forth, you and I talking. Let's just try. I'm not doing this. You get the fucking gist.
Starting point is 00:34:15 What did you say? You get the fucking gist. You get the fucking gist. I probably did. Probably did. Now I don't know what it was. Nor do I. Do you know what's funny?
Starting point is 00:34:23 Because someone said to me, oh, are you and Mitch really good friends? And I'm like, we genuinely don't hang out because it's just too much work trying to fucking make plans. Yeah. But we just voice message because it's the easiest way. But when we do hang out, we get along. We get along very well. It's sort of like a-
Starting point is 00:34:39 I've literally, I think I've only hung out with you once. No. That's for dead bullshit. Every other time you've either bailed or I just haven't tried to make plans because I don't want to deal with it. It's not that I'm flaky. I've just got so much going on and I never communicate that with anyone else. It's all happening in my head and I never tell anyone.
Starting point is 00:34:55 It's a bad, bad trait. But this is going back to common sense here. Hello, are you free at this time on this day? Pause, have a think about whether you are or not. Then you can answer. But sometimes I am, and then sometimes things happen in between that. See, now we're just at a point where you'll be like, oh, you're hungry?
Starting point is 00:35:14 We should get dinner tonight. I just don't even – I don't get even tempted to agree because I know that you'll then be like, oh, wait, I've got my great Agnes' birthday. Oh, fuck. Like you double book yourself because you suggest it. Yeah, I do. I just want everyone to be friends with me.
Starting point is 00:35:30 I know. It's actually one of your worst traits. Wanting everyone to be friends? No, just wanting to be liked by everyone. Yeah, it is bad. Because then people end up not liking you when you end up being a fucking flake. Yeah, but I tell you what, a lot of people are right on my wall for my birthday. Hello!
Starting point is 00:35:45 See, look, I'm just at the point where I've got a resting bitch face. Yeah. I've just come to accept the fact that I'm going to be misread. There's people that aren't going to like me based off first impression. I'm not going to fucking, like, exhaust myself trying to make sure everyone loves me from the get-go because then I'll just have no energy left because you're an extrovert. It's easy for you to put on a show and be all lovable and, like, you know, friendly. Whereas for me, I have to muster up a lot of effort.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Okay. All right. Go. And so then I'm exhausted by the end. So I'm just like, I've accepted that. I'm going to be misread. Like, there's so many people in this office that I've never had a conversation with that if you ask what's Mitchell like, they would say he's a rude cunt because I just look like one and I've never made any effort to
Starting point is 00:36:27 be perceived as otherwise. I'm not a rude cunt, but I literally don't have the energy to try and impress everyone and I don't care that much. Yeah, you're right. See, sometimes I do, but I do care. Sometimes I have no energy, but I will go down and talk to everyone in this building because I love it. I can't even walk down
Starting point is 00:36:43 the hallway with you because you just go, Oh, Deb! Let me do a juggling act for you. You don't stop until you get a laugh and then you're like, alright, satisfied, Deb loves me. No, it's not it. I just like to Natalie! How are you? Mwah!
Starting point is 00:37:02 Shut up. And I'm just like, it's not that I dislike these people, but I just don't have the energy. They talk to me. No, you invade everyone's personal space. Going back to episode one with the way you treat Waitstar. Oh, I've got a comment on that. What? So I'm not going to reveal what the poor thing has changed her name to.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Is this Spicy.Clear? No, yes, that's Spicy.Clear. In episode one, I was revealing that I, is it just me or do I love talking to strangers, making friends with strangers? I still do, always will. Spicy.Cleo, listen back to episode one. You don't love it, you feel compelled to do it. I feel compelled to do it, yes.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Spicy.Cleo has had to change her Instagram handle because she's getting hate from you listeners. Because you, tongue in cheek, you flippantlyantly said oh say mitch made me do it or mitch told me to come here and say this was you were giving an example to me about how you make friends with hospitality staff and there was this waitress cleo who you became friends with and then we gave out her instagram name and i said i don't think you're actually friends she didn't answer your call i proved my point and then i said as a joke everyone go find spicy.cleo on instagram and just message her
Starting point is 00:38:06 oh my god Mitch was talking shit about you on his podcast but never give the podcast name so that she's paranoid if my memory serves correctly I then followed that up with god I'm cruel which I thought was enough to imply I was kidding apparently people actually fucking did it to the point that
Starting point is 00:38:21 spicy.cleo is no longer on Instagram she had to change her name and her profile image. She's gone into witness protection. She has. She's now mild Cleo. It is so sad. She messaged me and I won't play it because I don't have her consent, but she's beautiful in Spanish.
Starting point is 00:38:36 And I got a message from her going, hey, Micho, is this you? Oh, did she voice message it? Yeah. And she said, is this you? And there was a screenshot of one of our fans. And I want out this little brat either, but he had written that. Oh, give it to me. I want to see if I recognize him. Okay. And then she was, I can you? And there was a screenshot of one of our fans. And I want out this little brat either. But he hadn't written that. Oh, give it to me. I want to see if I recognize him.
Starting point is 00:38:47 And then she was, I can't bite, can I? Spicy Clears messages. No, give it here. Don't read all the private messages. Oh my gosh. So she sent a screenshot of one of the messages that she received. Oh my God, what did you do to Mitch? He was talking shit about you on his podcast.
Starting point is 00:39:06 She goes, what Mitch? What podcast? What did he say? No reply. Oh, that's awful. I'm so sorry. Yes, we apologise. Don't read out her new handle because we do not want people going.
Starting point is 00:39:18 This guy who sent the message, Connor, legend. Well done. Committed to the gag even though I was kidding. I don't find it funny. Thank you, Connor. Connor's just tweeted in. Oh, we blocked him. That's what we did. the gag even though I was kidding. I don't find it funny. Thank you, Connor. Connor's just tweeted in. Oh, we blocked him. That's what we did.
Starting point is 00:39:27 We did not. I did, yeah. Wow. Bastard. So, you and Blake. Oh, no, we're not going to do this. I just want to know what happens at date. It's like, what's the conversation?
Starting point is 00:39:36 I want to set the scene. So, you're at a dinner and he's shouting. He's gone, hey, come for dinner. My shout. You've had a stressful week podcasting with Mitch. And God knows he's exhausting. So I've set up a French restaurant. I've got some escargots.
Starting point is 00:39:50 And I've organized. Well, considering that you've got your sexual health check back. And it's all clear. I'm over the moon. I'd really like to indulge you in some French music. Take a seat. God. Can I tell you?

Not just a pretty face it's fucked i used to play saxophone in primary school um i can see that for some reason yeah the alto um and then the call yeah and then they took it off me um because i wasn't getting

You wouldn't have the right. Well. I've made that call before and everyone on Instagram was like, No, I was going to say, I actually, it's not that I have the right,

But that's just uploading it to whooshka. And then what what I did to upload this podcast? Yeah, you got a Wooshki and... No, Wooshka. Wooshka.
Starting point is 00:41:46 But that's just uploading it to Wooshka. And then what do you have to do to get it from Wooshka to Apple? I'll have you know that I had a successful podcast that I ran. How the fuck did you get that? I was the Mitch Coombs for that podcast. I submitted it to Apple. What did you submit to Apple? The RSS feed.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Yeah. It wasn't to Apple. You don't submit it to Apple. Apple Podcasts. Your Podcast Connect feed. Yeah. It wasn't to Apple. You don't need to submit it to Apple. Apple Podcasts. Your Podcast Connect account. Yes. Guess what Podcast Connect account it's in. What?
Starting point is 00:42:11 Mine. Oh, shit. So you own this? Yep. So you couldn't delete it if you wanted to. Not only can you not get onto Wooshka, which is the first hurdle, you can't get onto my Podcast Connect account. I know the password. No, you don't.
Starting point is 00:42:24 It's my personal account. I know the password. No, you don't. It's my personal account. I know what it would be. What? Dexys. Capital D, capital X. 2020. You're thinking a year ahead. I love...
Starting point is 00:42:36 But the E is a three. It'd be I-L-0-V-E-J-0-E Hildebrand. What? Yep. Studio 10 ridiculousness. Well, it's been a great show. Should we get out of here? It feels like a very short ADD brief by our standards.
Starting point is 00:42:51 Yeah, it does. I have nothing else to sort of say. Do you know what I'm into at the moment? Head massages. Really? I love a head massage. I'm doing it to myself right now. Wow.
Starting point is 00:43:01 Your whole face moves when you do that. Yeah, I have a very loose scalp. You do? Yeah, look, watch this, ready? The hairdresser says it's a sign of either being very very relaxed, which is not true, or I have a detached scalp. Have a look, ready? I think that one's more likely. Oh, that's really weird. Does yours not do that?
Starting point is 00:43:18 You can like fold his forehead in half and it comes like down near his eyebrows. Oh, that's so weird to look at. Do yours. If I had to describe what I'm currently seeing, it's like when you put a gear stick in neutral and you can move it around. That's the best. That is your scalp.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Fucking hell. Well, I love head massages. Maybe that's why. Should we give a little teaser as to what's happening next week with Jenna or no? Lips shut. No, because she'll be listening. She'll be listening and digging for clues.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Okay. I'm very keen, though. Her No, because she'll be listening. She'll be listening and digging for clues. Okay. I'm very keen, though. Her and her big brother will be listening. Yeah. I'm very clean. Sorry, keen. Hansel and... You do one.
Starting point is 00:43:57 No. No. No. All right, I think it's time to go. That'll make sense next week. It already makes sense. Yeah, it does. Anyway, I did want to say, do you want to very quickly before we go, try doing our show
Starting point is 00:44:12 in the style that one of the other Is It Just Me's does their show in? Which one are we going with? Well, maybe you could be the very angry man. You be the angry man. I'll be the inspirational chick. Okay, here we go. Should I start? Yeah. Cool. I don't really have an opener, but I'll be the inspirational chick. Okay, here we go. Should I start? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Cool. I don't really have an opener, but I'll just play the Is it Just Me. Well, he has no sound effects whatsoever. True. He sort of just gets into it, doesn't he? Okay. 556. Hot out there.
Starting point is 00:44:43 A lot to talk about. No fucking time to do it. No one even listens, ever. No one even fucking listens to me. All I need to do is walk the dog. And when I walk the dog, what does she normally do in the bathroom? Once or twice? Listen, I know this sounds bananas.
Starting point is 00:45:04 But you're drinking so much water in the day And you cannot underestimate the health benefits Like, water is like A gift from Mother Nature And it's so underappreciated And underutilised Look, I think it's time we announced a lovely, beautiful, magnificent Uber-talented, down-to-earth
Starting point is 00:45:21 Gracious, stunning co-host Margaret, hey Margaret, you there? Oh wow I've got only a week off Super talented, down to earth, gracious, stunning co-host Margaret. Hey, Margaret, you there? Oh, wow. I've got only a week off. No, you don't. That's our fucking bit. And here we are. Coffee.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Imagine if they decide to listen to us. Ridiculous. All right, let's go. Now that we've slandered the comp. Yeah, we were like so positive before. We would never do that. Do what? Be disgusting.
Starting point is 00:45:43 What do you think they're thinking when they listen to us? Oh, the Brits would just think the end is nigh. They get Dido, who is so good. Our biggest guest today is the audio we use of Pauline Hanson. Nah, bullshit. We had Dami Im. We did have Dami Im. She doesn't know that she was on.
Starting point is 00:46:04 We love how you put her in the title of the episode. With Dami M. Well, she was fucking on it. She was on the show. Ben Fordham. Yeah. Chrissy Swann was talked about. We should get Chrissy on.
Starting point is 00:46:14 Producer Jenna, can you get onto that? Oh, she's not here. That's right. She doesn't give a fuck. Give her birth. What? She's pregnant. Oh.
Starting point is 00:46:21 Yeah. I didn't know. She hides it very well. She does, doesn't she? In that slender frame. All right, I think we should get out of here, don't you? Yeah, we probably should. It's been a great show. Well, I'm't know. She hides it very well. She does, doesn't she? That slender frame. All right, I think we should get out of here, don't you? Yeah, we probably should. It's been a great show.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Well, I'm glad you think so. Have you noticed I do my radio bits on the intros and on the outs? In the middle, I'm getting so much better. I used to be afraid of dead air. I've been trying to bludgeon the radio guy out of you, and today you're starting to show some improvement. But what do you mean by the start and finish? So, like, I'll start. Yeah, we do this every week
Starting point is 00:46:46 and we do the setup and this is how we do it. It's called Is It Just Me? Let's jump in. Why do radio people sound like they're swallowing when they talk? Yeah, does it sound any better? Radio, I'll do two sentences. You tell me which sounds better. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Hey, I'm going to call my mum after we finish recording and see what's for dinner at home. Or, hey, I'm going to ring my mom after dinner and see what's. That one. You get the point. This one. That one. Because you sound like you're doing an impression of a radio guy, not actually being.
Starting point is 00:47:10 You know, fun fact. Yeah. I do work for a voiceover company. And she goes, Mitch, we love what you do, but your voiceover is very 2010. It is. I know. And I was like, you're not wrong. And then she goes, people want mistakes because we stream now,
Starting point is 00:47:27 we constantly listen to podcasts, so people know what a real voice sounds like. But 10 years ago, people would think that you should try Vital Weets. They thought that was authority. Do you know what I mean? Yes. Anyway, we've rapped like seven times. Yeah, we should go.
Starting point is 00:47:41 You were saying, oh, I'm out. I always rap up like a radio guy. What do you mean? I hadn't heard this. Well, because I went, oh, we probably should get out of here. Look, it's been a good show. And I went, I did the radio bit. But I should have just gone, yeah, let's get out of here.
Starting point is 00:47:54 Hold on. Sorry. One more came in. Who is this? My God. Oh, that was just an admin notification. We've lost 12 followers. I'm not surprised.
Starting point is 00:48:02 Yeah, neither am I. With what you served up. But hey, at couple of bitches, if you'd like to try and help us rebuild. That's us. Is it just me? There we go. Can't fucking do it. Did I talk like that?
Starting point is 00:48:11 Nope. Yeah, but I'm done. I don't know if I've ever tried a radio voice. Should you try it? We're ending the show and we're going to end it. As soon as you back announce, then you're going to forward announce into a song and we're done. We're not saying goodbye.
Starting point is 00:48:21 But that's not how you goodbye a show, by forward announcing a song. Just trust me. It's the end of a show, not a fucking jock shift. Sorry about that. Can you just hit our closer? So it's just our music. I want you to do this.
Starting point is 00:48:34 And I'll do, I'll farewell the show like I'm a radio guy. Okay, good, good. How you doing? Hey, listen up. Next week's show, I'm Mr Bull, all right?
Starting point is 00:48:45 You've got to be there. Stay there, all right? Okay, I'll see you next week. See you, everybody. How'd it go? Are we going? No, I want to know what you thought. That was phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Good thing I'm not on radio. Come on, give us your out. Hook the socials, tell them we're back next week, and I'm going to end it. I thought I already did that. Come on. All right your out. Hook the socials, tell them we're back next week, and I'm going to end it. I thought I already did that. Come on. All right. I do it every night.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Okay. On the beat. All right, guys, you want to get amongst us on the socials. You know who you've got to hit up? It's got to be a couple of Mitch's. I'll see you there, all right? Okay? It's It's Just Me, the podcast.
Starting point is 00:49:19 What you've got to do is leave us a five-star review, hey? I'll thank you later for that. See you next week. So it's basically flirting with the audience, hey? I'll thank you later for that. See you next week! They're just basically flirting with the audience, aren't they? Yeah, very much so. Alright, bye. We've got to go. Bye, see you then.
