People do some weird shit. Hello, I'm Tracey Grimshaw. Welcome to A Current Affair. Tonight we're coming to you from my bedroom. Some things make more sense than others. Which Australian gymnast won Commodore Games gold in 1990 for his performance on the pommel horse? India. Marcus, grow up.

Brace yourself for observations you didn't ask for. You are a cheap tramp and a filthy liar. This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. Do you reckon we should include Janet's name in the opener? How about a compromise? We'll say her name, but it's said in Simlish. Brayley!

Drop a newbie. Perfect. Now, here's Mitch Chooley and Mitchell Coombs. Yes, we're here. Hello, how are we all? Hi, Jenna. Hi. It's going to be a big show.

Oh, is it just? Apparently that's what I say every week without even noticing I do. Someone pointed out in the Facebook group that perhaps there's a bit of false advertising going on. You say big show every single week. It has been a series of big shows. I think today's a big one. Talkback Tings, everyone's favourite segment. Yeah, it actually voted.

It's not just hyperbole. Everyone's actual favourite segment. Yes, we did a poll in our Facebook group and Talkback Tings, where we play random odd shit that we hear on Talkback Radio, is the favourite. And so I've got another one today. It's actually brilliant. And I've never heard them, so this is my... Is it like a character that we've scrutinised before?

Yeah, John Laws. Oh, the OG. Original golden microphone broadcaster. The legend Lawsy himself is back again, and this one is just gold. I can't wait to play it to you guys. Okay, brilliant. I was going to say, though,

Mitch, I saw on your Instagram the other day. Actually, if you're a fan of Instagram or any of our socials, you'll notice that we go Instagram Live every Sunday night. We do, yes. And this Sunday night, we didn't go Instagram Live. I was quite busy. I had things on. But I had a friend message me and go, why weren't you on Instagram Live? I said, oh, my dad's 60th.

I was busy. I was getting drunk. I was getting turnt. Yes, I decided the show must go on. Yeah. With or without you, I'm going to do the Instagram live anyway. I swear this is the third time you've used your dad's birthday as an excuse in the space of one year, but that's all right.

It was his 60th. You've always got so many family events, it's weird. And I don't even have that big of a family. I'm white. Like, we don't even have, I've got two aunties and an uncle. But anyway, I did carry on without you. And someone said, did you know Coombs was going on a date? And I didn't know.

So you went on a wee little date, did you, Mitch? Proof that you can Instagram live and multitask. Just write that one down, Cheery. Okay. Definitely. So yeah, I was going on a date at 7 and now 6pm Instagram live. I was like, I'll just use this opportunity to get everyone's advice. The original outfit I was going to wear on

this Tinder date got completely slammed by our so-called fans but that's alright. They gave me advice. It was fun. Was it a Kesha shirt or a Miley shirt or some sort of merchandise? No, it's one of my favourite jumpers. They said I looked like a teacher. Did you watch the live, Jenna? No, I asked her to join the

live in your place and she didn't even reply. I replied at 7.30. I'm carrying the weight of this show on my shoulders again. Well, rather than get the nitty gritty and the details of the day, I thought it's actually been a while and we should check in and do this. Viagra update. She's got that made. Okay.

Let's check because you made the deep and gut-wrenching Heartfelt Raw I like the ever better word Revelation that your dick is broken A couple episodes ago That's not quite what I said I said that a side effect of my antidepressants

Which I've only decided taking recently Is sexual dysfunction Yes And so as a safeguard They've given me Viagra in case I am having performance issues in the bedroom. Got it. And did you get to that point with your

date? No, I did not. No, I still have not used the Viagra. I'm sorry to disappoint. Oh, really? I'll be allowed to use Channel 9's new theme like this? Yeah, I've cleared it with Gretel Clean. I've got the journalist on with me, Basil Emmings. How's the week been? It hasn't been a hard week Oh really, interesting

So another word you'd say, it probably was a Soft Yes One more time Soft Soft week It's not like it's always, anyway No

But this week was a soft week Yes, it was a soft week No, it still works It's just in case when I'm with another person Right You wouldn't say It hasn't been a hard week It still works. It's just in case when I'm with another person. Right. You wouldn't say... It hasn't been a hard week. Well, no, I didn't fuck this person on the Tinder date,

if that's what you're saying. We very politely said, yeah, let's see each other again and then have not texted since. So I think it was one of those days. Have you taken one of the Viagras around a date time? Because last time you took it as a practice when you were patting your cat and it thought it was a new toy to play with that's complete complete utter bullshit being circumcised

stop making things up about me um with a closet did have you used it in an intercourse situation no i still haven't but thank you for checking in that's fine that was uh the first edition of viagra update we'll keep you updated Great Also this guy by the way I was like I don't know if this is going to work Because he's like I don't really drink or use social media And I'm like that's all I do That's my brand and my job And that's what I do in my free time

Drink and go on TikTok live It wouldn't have worked I hate podcasts too This will be a great day Do you know what he said? He goes oh you do a podcast? Oh, I'll have to watch it. Oh!

No, no, no. I was like, okay. Is he 46? I'll have to watch it. Bless him. Is he going to get a second date? I don't believe so. Oh, no.

I don't anticipate that. But that's all right. These things happen. Trial and error. True. I wasn't, like, in love with him. No, good, good. I'm glad he's not watching.

Let's jump in. If it is your first time listening, where is it just me? Every week we start the show with something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. They're the idjams, the is it just me. Mitch, why don't you go first? Because I went first last week. I don't think you've gone first for like three weeks, to be honest.

Really? So I think you're about due. Should I go first? But I'm happy to. It's up to you no i always get nervous i like when you go first mirrors are always well thought out and planned and mine are always written down on a post-it note on the way here sure let's jump in is it just me does sad movies never make you cry usually oh um so it depends on the movie but i'm i sort of lean towards the more the crier

yes well i no matter how sad the movie even the saddest movies i've seen in my life ones that spring to mind obviously you know titanic right yeah red dog fault in our stars all very sad it was all yeah it was very sad i just kind of like carried it around internally didn't actually shed a single tear oh okay, okay. And I've always just been like, oh, whatever. I'm not much of a crier. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, oh, I watched a movie last week, that new one on Disney+, you know,

Clouds. Yeah, I've seen it. I haven't seen it myself, but I've seen the trailer. Yeah, so brace yourself if you see it. I was a mess, and I wasn't expecting to be, because I was like, I never cry during movies, no matter how sad. And also, I did think it was going to be really daggy, like, I wasn't expecting to be because I was like, I never cry during movies, no matter how sad. And also I did think it was going to be really daggy, like, I don't know, you know, Notebook

or The Last Song or some shit. Yeah, corny. Oh yeah, that's kind of, yeah, corny. I thought it was going to be like that. Yeah. And so the movie's about this 18 year old ride that has cancer and he knows it's terminal. So he stops taking chemo. So he's like, I'm going to enjoy the last few months of my life.

And he wants to release a song and, you know, perform and live his dream before he carks it. And he puts the video on YouTube. It goes viral. And I'm thinking, this is a very far-fetched plot. Okay. And then turns out it's a completely true story. And if you go on YouTube, the video is actually there. The real song in real life.

Not the actor. The actual guy that the movie is based on, which I had no idea it was true and that's when i went to pieces what the song was so terrible is that why you cry no it's a beautiful song i've actually added it to my apple music it went number one when he died because the story the story blew up and now all these years later they've made a movie i actually telling a story his name was zach sobiak. And yeah, I didn't realise it was a true story. And that's, yeah, it ruined me. Jenna, did you see the TikTok?

Yes, I did. It's a loop. Yeah, that was the movie that made me cry. That one. I'm getting it. If you haven't seen it, I haven't added this onto the wall or the sound effects. I watched it without sound. And I thought this was like a, you know auntie moment like to the camera you were sobbing

you were sobbing and I'm like I spent $30 on getting him a sports girl jade eye roll to get rid of his bags and they're back like stuck right

and a weighted blanket yeah did you wrap yourself in the little weighted blanket I did have the weighted blanket on me when I watched the film that must be it so all the tears were pushed to the top

here let me find Mitchell Coombs gotta sift through all that Jack Frost spunk on what do you want oh oh I was not prepared for this All the T's are pushed to the top. Here, let me find Mitchell Coombs. Got to sift through all that Jack Frost spun car. What do you want? Oh, oh.

I was not prepared for this. I thought I was going to be watching some emo Disney movie. What do you like? I didn't realise it was a true story. Look what it's done to me. No. Oh, God. I don't mean like welling up.

That's proper sobbing. No, but I love the juxtaposition between that and the song sounds so positive yeah i know but once you understand the context that's actually the song that he that blew up that he wrote who films himself sobbing i don't know it was actually i had to prove it to myself that i'm able to because like this is this is a little bit weird jenna you'll be able to back me up here, though. So, as I mentioned, the bloody antidepressants they've put me on recently, they don't necessarily make you feel happy or sad. You just kind of feel nothing. Yes, exactly. It's just kind of numbing.

So I was like, oh, it's really nice to feel something. That sounds really depressing, doesn't it? But, yeah, I was like, oh, God, this is nice, actually. It was a beautiful release. No, that's so true. And the number one comment, Jenna, oh, you do have feelings. I know. I'm the only one who was worried.

Everyone was just as surprised as I was. But that went on for like half an hour after the movie. I don't believe this is real. It was real. I think maybe. It was one of those things where, you know, when you think you've finished crying and you're like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I've got my shit back together. Okay. Now. Throw the tissue out. And then I'd just be like, and well up again. I'd do the really tight squinted eye. That went on for half an hour. I thought I was done.

I reckon Isabella had another swipe at his dick or something. And that's why he was crying. He's like, may as well put a sad movie on. I don't think you're capable of that amount of sobbing. No, it was full on. And that's never happened to me before. And it was really well done, that movie. But also, I read online that apparently crying during movies does not make you weak.

It makes you emotionally stronger. So I'm like, oh, maybe it means I've become emotionally stronger over the years. Because it's been a while since I've watched a sad movie. I think Red Dog or Fault in Our Stars might have been the last one. You love a cancer flick, don't you? You've got your laptop there. Why don't you just get Disney Plus open and then scrub through to the end when the poor guy takes his last breath.

No, no, no. I just want to see you cry. It's been one of those ones that I kind of carry around with me and every time I think about it I go God, that was sad. Yeah, but I'm not convinced it was. I just want you to do the last minute. I just want to see you cry. I don't know if I could cry on command. As you know, I struggle with performance at the moment.

If I'm put under pressure, I don't know if I will. Get it up. I don't know. You can't get it up. He has problems there. But get the video up. Okay, hold on. He's getting there.

Do you have to have the app? Well, you deal with it. I've never used Disney Plus on a laptop before. Yes, you do. No, just Google it. Go to the browser. Oh, okay. The new Mandalorian's coming out. Yes, you do. No, just Google it. Go to the browser. Oh, okay. The new Mandalorian's coming out of Briggs, aren't it?

Oh, you watch that. It's longer than a minute, so you guys might have to chat amongst yourselves. Yes, that's fine. I'm going to unplug the headphones. Don't look at me until I'm already crying. Okay. Can't do. I really don't think I will.

That's fine. I'll just put on some elevator music in the meantime for Jenna and I. My headphones are noise cancelling, so I won't be able to hear you. Yeah. Just do your thing. We've got it covered. Hold on. I still haven't even found the moment.

That's fine. I thought you were turning your mic off. I'll turn it off for you. Now you're off. There we go. Thank God. Peace and quiet. When was the last time you cried in a film?

I always cry during animal films. Oh, Bambi. Yes. I can't even watch that. Lilo and St films. Oh, Bambi. Yes. I can't even watch that. Lilo and Stitch. Yes, yes. It's been a while since I saw that, but the saddest movie ever is Hachi. Who? Hachi.

Sounds like an addition to Japanese restaurant. Well, it's about a Japanese dog and it's based on a true story. Hachi? Oh, is this like the Marley and Me Japan version? No, this is worse. How does it die? No, the owner dies

and it waits for years at the train station for him to come home. Oh, no, that's hard, right? Yes.

That's gut-wrenching. Yes. Yeah, I'd cry too. That's so sad. The last movie I cried at was with Mitchell, actually.

Oh, let's just do a quick little check-in. Okay. Not crying yet, but he looks very mad. So, let's just do a quick little check in. Okay. Not crying yet, but he looks very mad. So, yeah, just his normal state. I cried during A Star Is Born.

Oh, really? Yeah, about 20 minutes in. I cried when she needed Brackley Cooper to get the peas, the ice pack. Really? On her foot or her nose or something. I don't know. She needed the ice pack. And then they sung that song in the car park. And I so like it.

Really? I thought maybe towards the end. I cried towards the end too. When, I don't want to ruin it, but there's a dog involved and it's waiting as well. Yes. Oh, that was sad. Yeah, yeah. No, that was a very sad thing.

I cried twice in that movie. And then I cried in the Simpsons movie when Bart and Homer reconciled their differences. Oh. Yeah. And then, I don't really remember my mum and dad are a cry my dad will cry he'll never see

an episode of The Bachelor like not one episode of a season and then sit down conveniently when the finale's on oh she picked the right one

really really my dad you don't know I can't cry over things like that oh my dad can hold on let's do a check in he still looks

man there's no tears coming out. He's very into it. I can't force it. Yeah, same. I just can't do it. No. But if it comes, it comes.

If an animal is involved in any single way... Yeah. Like... What, without being hurt? Just if it's in it? Yes. You'll cry the moment you see an animal? Yes.

Jenna. There was this really, really beautiful animated elephant film. I forget the name of it. in it? Yes. You'll cry the moment you see an animal? Yes. Jenna? There was this really, really beautiful animated elephant film. I forget the name of it. Dumbo? That's sort of the one. No, I can't watch that. This other one. Oh, the one on Netflix.

It's Japanese as well. The big fat pig. No. That escapes the abattoir. No, I can't watch that. Goku? What's it called? I can't watch that.

No. Jackie? It's called something. It's got a name. Goku? What's it called? I can't watch that. No. Jackie. It's called something. It's got a name. Pogie. Do you know what I'm doing? Yeah, I know the exact one. And I can't even watch.

I can't even watch the trailer. Damn it. Oh, hold on, hold on. No, the air con's in his eyes. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Okay, okay. How long does it take him to die? Not in real life.

The movie. Oh, here we go. Every time I was about to well up, I would see both of your heads dart in my direction and I could tell I was being watched. I have peripherals. He has no tears. Just as I suspected. I feel like

if I wasn't being watched, I would have. Maybe it's because I was home alone when it happened. Maybe, yeah, and you felt inhibited. Say that ten times in a row quickly. His eyes are a bit glassy. Yeah. That's Viagra talking, Jenna. How is that the Viagra talking?

It can't be on Viagra and Crayagra at the same time. Someone get him a prescription for Crayagra. That's my best gear of the show. Let's move on. Are we ready for mine? You heartless pig. Didn't cry. Boy with cancer.

Disgusting. No. Is it just me or... Are there foods you were banned from eating as a kid that you still just don't eat? Yeah, but I also don't understand why I ate them as a kid anyway. Mum was right. Yeah, mostly junk food, right? Yeah, like roll-ups.

Why? Oh, yeah. I wasn't banned from roll-ups, but I loved them with the little patterns on them and the rug around the kids. I loved them. And Chucky. Oh, I used to love a roll-up. Well, I still eat everything.

Like everything that junk food. Name a junk food and I've probably eaten it this week. Go. Oh, Dunkaroos. Mate, slammed a pack before record. Whiz Fizz. Mate. A Yogo.

No, I don't think they make them anymore. Bullshit. Rip my heads off, suck my guts out. Groundskeeper Jenna. Google that, please. No, that's a Go-Go. No, that's Go-Go. Oh, what's a Yogo?

You know, the gorilla thing. Yeah. Who? The chocolate. Oh, this is bullshit. You're claiming that you've eaten everything. You don't even know what the Yogo thing is. Google is bullshit. You are claiming that you've eaten everything. You don't even know what the yoga thing is. Google it. I haven't claimed that I've eaten everything.

You did! You said name a junk food I've probably eaten it. What a stupid thing to claim. I've eaten everything. You claimed it, mate. Yoga, here we go. Anyway, why do you bring this up? Oh, yeah. I've pumped yoga. Oh, you found it? Mum used to buy them for the block bathroom reveals every Sunday night when I was sit down and eat them.

Because, I say this because the other day, Hayden was doing the grocery shopping and I was at work, working till midnight. I said, I'm going to get the grocery shopping. What do you want? I'm like, get all these. These are the basics. And he was getting cream for something he was making.

And then he's like, do you want stringers? Oh, the cheese thing. PTSD. When I was a kid, right, I was obsessed with stringers. And my mum would let me have stringers. You know, the little cheesy mozzarella sticks? And you'd peel them, right? Yeah.

Well, I would get them for my lunch snack. And what I would do is I'd get, like, maybe, say, three, and I'd braid them like a little girl's ponytail. And I'd put the three of them together, and I'd braid them and twist them, and then I'd put it on one square of paper towel, and I'd put them in the microwave. And then I'd microwave them, and I'd get, three of them together and i'd braid them and twist them and then i'd put it on a one square of paper towel and i put them in the microwave and then i'd microwave them and i'd get like a giant cheese ball you know those weird things that you do as kids that you probably look back on and go that wasn't smart not like that i did this for weeks and then one day i might go out an extra stringer stringer extra cheese stringer and there's probably about

four and then maybe that night i'm like oh i'm, I've got a stomach ache. A bit of gas, farted out. I'm all good. Wake up in the morning, 4 a.m. Horrific stomach pains. Like I'm talking, can't move, stomach pains. Mum, it's horrific pain. I need help. You'll be fine.

Sleep it off. Couldn't sleep. Race to the hospital, right? Jesus Christ. Over a stringer. Four. Oh, so this isn't one stringer that you've peeled into four strands. You've actually done four together.

Four stringers, yeah. There's probably 600 grams worth of mozzarella in there. It still doesn't seem like something that you would go to hospital for, but anyway, what happened? They drive to the hospital and they go, your appendix is about to explode. And I still hadn't put two and four together, knowing that there was two stringers blocking my lower intestine.

And they did a CAT scan and they go, you have a mass in your lower intestine. We need to operate urgently. Oh, my year old boy so then mum was crying getting my last wheel and now who do you love who's your dad and then they literally um do like an ultrasound with a jelly on my tummy i'm in the operating theater no joke with like a one of those you know little robes on with my baby butt cheeks out and then they do an ultrasound and they go hold on it's like moving and it's squishy and it's not connected to anything like it's free moving and then they go it can't be a mass because it's like it's it's dislodged from the walls and then they went go take this and they gave me you know diuretic and i shat myself silly and i

pooed out this 800 gram cheese ball and they just went go home. You had a cheese ball stuck inside just lower intestine. You don't have appendicitis. Cancel the search. Cancel. Dave you go home. His appendix is fine.

His fat will shit. What so they just wouldn't digest? Like they just stayed in their solid ball form? Didn't break down. That this is not good PR

for stringers just quietly. No well the stringers did nothing wrong. Well they did. No. They are indigestible. Yeah but I also I feel like you should be able to put four stringers together quietly. No, well, the stringers did nothing wrong. Well, they did. No. They are indigestible. Yeah, but I also... I feel like you should be able to put four stringers together.

No, in a microwave for about 40 seconds, so they melted, so I probably broke down some sort of molecular level. They were really sticky. Swallowed it. Yeah, horrific. Anyway, from that point on, I'm not allowed to have stringers, so I said to Hayden, no, I'm not allowed to have stringers.

Don't buy the stringers. Oh, God, we should have gotten you to have one. I can't do it. I can't do it. I will not be able to do it. It't buy the stringers. Oh, God. We should have gotten you to have one. I can't do it. I can't do it. I will not be able to do it. I love the taste. It's like when you have a certain alcohol too many times or you vomit it up. You don't want that taste anymore.

Oh, 100%. Yeah. Frosted flakes, too. Can't have that. Stringers of all things. Really? Frost kick that. Frosty flakes?

Frosty fruits? Is that what they're called? Can't have frosty fruits. Banned from quite a few things, to be perfectly honest. CCs? Not allowed CCs. Why not? Too high. Too high. CCs, not allowed CCs. Why not? Too high, too high.

The fake flavouring wasn't allowed. And I'd get all the dust on my fingers and I'd be touching things around the house and mum would not let me have them. I just remember when I first moved to Sydney and I had to start buying for myself, right? I really took advantage of the fact that there was no one to say, you can't have that, you can't have that. So I literally had like a two litre strawberry milk for dinner once. I was like, all right, why not?

And then I'd get like a whole ass mud cake from the bakery bit at Woolies. Like I was just going to town. Then after two weeks, I was like, mum was right. It really does affect your whole day if you eat too much sugar or rubbish. That's exactly the point that Hayden and I had the other day. He's like, do you want a frappuccino for dinner, babe? I'm like, a frappuccino? He's like, yeah, he bought the Starbucks cups and everything.

Was making at home Starbucks frappuccinos. For dinner? That's all we had, yeah. With, like, coffee in it? Yeah, of course. Oh, that's just daft. You'll be up all night. Very true.

And have a sugar headache. Nah, no good. Very true. Then I'll just shit out and I'll shit myself silly after a cup of coffee at that time of night. Let's be real. Oh, my God. Anyway. Jenny, you banned from any foods?

Or did you have snack foods growing up? You probably wouldn't have. No, we made our own stuff. Her favourite bush tucker. Yeah. Ban. Jenna wasn't allowed damper after midnight. When she was roaming her caves.

Yeah. They were like, no, those berries, your favourite, no more. Yes. That did actually happen. Yeah. Quite a personal story, actually. Right, of course. That did actually happen.

Yeah. Quite a personal story, actually. Right, of course. Also, in my current life, when I was younger, I ate a whole packet of kettle chips. Yep. Threw it all up. And now I can't eat kettle chips. How big was the bag?

This big? It's a visual medium, Jenna. Family? Is it just me? You can follow the show online. Just search Couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a dickhead. We've got to start from scratch with her every week, don't we?

Actually, I wish you could see her hair. It was a big bag. It was a family size. The one you'd take to a party or a barbecue and share, pour it into a bowl. I should say, you can follow our secret Facebook group, Enduring Idiots, online. That's where we post behind- scenes footage of the record, because

we record the show once a week. I started posting off-air moments that you don't realise I'm rolling on during, like I've got the cameras rolling. Yeah, you posted the story about me being almost date raped the other night. I was like, that was not for publication! Well, you can only find that in our Facebook group. Dicks on how you can get into a little later. Yes, it's called Enduring Idiots. Go look us up.

It is. Also, you can leave us a review if you're using Apple Podcast. We've had a few new ones come in. This one says, Love you guys and Jenna, my new favourite podcast from Ali. Thanks, Ali. Thanks, Al. That's so nice. Jess says, I laugh so loud every Monday when I listen. I've had noise complaints

from my neighbours. It's been especially fantastic to have an hour or so out of each week to zone out and have a giggle as I'm locked down in Melbourne. Jess, that's probably because you're fucking too loud. Don't pin that on us. I've had noise complaints and my bins are still, I haven't taken them out in a month. That's probably a you problem. I see that as a compliment.

She's saying that, you know, we made her laugh so loudly. Very true. Fair enough. I'm getting all these too. I've actually got heaps of new ones. Why is Eva.May saying, love this podcast. I recently found it and binged all the eps over two weeks. It makes my time working on the farm so much more enjoyable.

And I'll tell you what, the pigs in the pen love listening too. She must be blasting it through a speaker or something. I love that. I get that. I love when people tell us what they're doing when they listen. Like, we had one last week that said that they're a truck mechanic. This one's a pig farmer. Like, I love these little things.

What do you guys do when you listen? Yeah. That's what you can include in your review. If you're stuck for compliments, you can't think of one single nice thing to say. And you get a shout-out from us too. Yes, of course. Oh, because you asked them to mention Pigpen.

Oh! Oh, that was way, that's way less exciting now. Oh, I just remembered. I said Pigpen. Yeah, last week you challenged someone to include Pigpen. Yes, like from Typo. Welcome to Tape Bell, you and Pigpen. It's Daddy with Liberty. Let's move on. Amit, are we

ready to do our most loved and requested segment on the show? Oh my word, I am. Let's do a Talkback Test. I put's move on. Amit, are we ready to do our most loved and requested segment on the show? Oh my word, I am. Let's do Talkback Tings. Talkback Tings is where we play some really weird shit that happens on Talkback Radio because I think it's safe to assume that our listeners don't really tune in themselves. No. But it's okay. Any good shit that happens, we'll bring it to you here.

You actually source most of the content. Actually, no, I source from midnight onwards, but it's the. Any good shit that happens, we'll bring it to you here. You actually source most of the content. Actually, no, I source from midnight onwards, but it's the trenches of AM radio. They're barely breathing past 12 at night. My God. Yes, I think I've found most of them so far. But like I said, I've never had to look any further than 2SM, that one particular station in Sydney where the most random

and weird shit happens. And we've done John Laws before here on the show. He's back again. I've got one from the archives today. It's an oldie bit of goodie that my dad was telling me about. So you know how most Talkback listeners are ancient. Yes. And maybe they don't have Google.

Yeah. So this particular audio we're about to hear, an old lady called into John Laws and she'd heard an ad during the ad break on his show. And she was asking for the details. Nice. She's like, oh, sorry she'd heard an ad during the ad break on his show. Right. And she was asking for the details, right? Nice, okay. She's like, oh, sorry, I heard that ad. What was their phone number? Standard, okay.

So it was an ad for a nursery, Pike's Nursery. Yeah. So firstly, how would you spell Pike's? P-Y-K-E-S. Correct. Okay. So he had a bit of trouble passing that message on to her, but he did not give up.

So strap yourself in. This goes on for a while. He was determined to message on to her but he did not give up so strap yourself in this goes on for a while okay he was determined to get it to her and as you know john law's very little patience yes but he persisted here it is i'll tell you what to do ring pike's nurseries what P-Y-K-E-S P-I-A What have I done to deserve this? T-M Would you spell that again for me? P-I-A-T-M Did you say?

No, ma'am. No, I said P-Y Oh, Y. Yes, P-Y as in Yankee. K as in Kilo. E as in Echo. S as in Stupid. Pikes, P-Y-K-E-S.

Pikes Nurseries. P-Y-A-T-E. Will we try it again, ma'am? Right on. Okay, you ready now? Have you got your pencil handy? Oh, yes. Okay, P. B. No, P no P as in Yankee, that's right. Okay, then you have a K.

A. K as in kill. K. It's a P-Y-A. K! Don't get excited, John. Don't get excited, ma'am. Can I ask you a leading question?

Yes. Do you have trouble hearing? I have, yes. Yes. All right, ma'am, well, we'll try it again. P-Y. P-Y. K.

K. K. P again? Yes, no, thank you. K as in kill. Yes. Yes, E-S. God, you got that.

Would you spell it back to me now? P-Y-A. Oh, no, I'm tired. Oh, no, it's not right. Oh, it's not right. Oh, it's not right. P-Y-K-E-S. P-A-Y-E. Where do you get the A from?

I haven't said an A anywhere. P. P. You got the P. I got that, yes. Right. Y. P-A.

No, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y as in Yankee. P-Y. Yes. K. E. No, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y as in Yankee. P-Y. Yes, K. E. Oh, God save me. How can a K and an E sound alike? K. Yes, I will.

I will. P-Y-E. I'm going to throw myself right down the microphone and choke you to death in a minute. That's what I'm going to do. P-Y-E. Did you say? No, no, I didn't. I don't know.

I don't think we're ever going to make it, ma'am, are we? Oh, well... I don't think that I'm ever going to be able to give you this telephone number. I mean, this is just the name. Imagine it when I start to get to the telephone number. It's a nursery, isn't it? Yes, it is, strangely enough. All right, well, give me the number of it.

Oh, God, can I? That's a telephone number. Yes, all right, here you are. Are you ready? I'll take the risk. Are you ready? Yes. Okay, do you have your pen at the ready?

Yes. Okay. Six. Six. Six. Good, that's very good. Three. Six what?

Three. Three. Six what? Three. E. Oh, Jesus. How can E be a number? I don't know, but I just can't... A cat seems to vibrate in my ear. Okay, well, I'll say it very quietly. Yes. Can you hear me?

Yes. Six. Yes. Three. Three. Very good. Yes. Six, three. Nine. Nine. Three. Three. Very good. Yes. Six, three.

Nine. Nine. And another nine. Yes. Eight. Eight. Very good. Five.

Five. One. One. Yes. That's it, Mrs. Yes, would you read it back to me? Six, three, nine, nine, five, oh no, I went, oh no, eight, five, one.

You've got it. You've got it. Oh, yes. So just dial the telephone number and God help Bruce Pike. Oh my God. They got there in the end, didn't they? That is the best yet. And that would only happen on Talkback.

Oh, okay. For kill. I reckon halfway through he realised, this is gold. I'm just going to persist. Where was she getting the A from? And then a C in the phone number. Okay. Wow, could there be an E in a number?

I've never heard him get that animated before. I know. Well, see, this was many years ago, right? Right, okay. So I understand now why they call him the man with the golden tonsils, because that was quite a booming, rich voice. That was beautiful. These days, he doesn't really sound like that anymore.

So the reason I've had to dig into the archives as well is because his podcast doesn't get updated anymore. There hasn't been a new episode. I'm surprised there isn't. I know. Well, that's how I usually find shit of his to play on Talkback Tings, because I'm at work when he's on air. That's why most of the stuff comes from the night show.

And now that John Law's podcast has disappeared I can't find the audio But also the most recent episode Which was mid-March He really doesn't sound well So play the old one This is what he used to sound like I'll tell you what to do

Ring Pike's Nurseries Booming Dees Very articulate This is him in the most recent podcast upload Okay In the past couple of hours The World Health Organisation has described the coronavirus As the defining health crisis of our generation

What they are at Oh dear Oh What they are advocating Is regular testing for the virus As pressure mounts for personal restrictions On visits to pubs and movie houses and aged care homes. Many Anzac Day commemorations across...

You can tell that he's turning his mic off to clear his throat, but it's still there. Oh, bless him. Irony, of course, being that he's talking about coronavirus. Yeah, Jesus. He sounds like he's on a deathbed. He's on a ventilator, I know. I know. He is up in his 80s, right?

Oh, yeah, but good on him for still being on air, right? I agree. He's still giving it a go, but just like, how the fuck am I supposed to find audio to play on our podcast if he stopped uploading episodes of his podcast? It was 17th of March. It was the last update. That's the last podcast episode they put up.

Poor avid listeners who can't, you know, be up at the crack of dawn. They might have medical appointments to listen to their favourite jock. I know. Maybe they just assumed that his listeners don't, you know, be up at the crack of dawn. They might have medical appointments to see, to listen to their favourite jock. I know, maybe they just assumed that his listeners don't listen to podcasts, but they're wrong. Here I am. Here I am refreshing it going, come on, mate. Should we call them? Great minds think alike.

That's actually what I was going to get you to do. Oh, let's do it. Let's call like reception. Yes, this is exactly what I was going to get you to do. Okay, great. I want you to be an old man. No, I don't want to be a woman. I want. Yeah. No, I don't want to be a woman. I want to be a woman.

I don't want to be a man. Too close to reality. Either works. True. Just be someone who would listen to John Laws. Okay. Call 2SM reception. Let me get the number.

And be like, where the fuck's the podcast? Yeah. It's been months. I'm worried. Is John still on air? Okay. Like, where is he? No,? Yeah. It's been months. I'm worried. Is John still on air? Okay. Like, where is he? No, I got the number.

All right, I'm going to call. I'm going to be Dot. Oh, my God, yes. Wiggins. Be my name. Okay, I've got the number. Are we ready? Yep.

I've never seen you so eager to do a prank call. I feel like you are. No, I know. I know. My alter ego is a 97-year-old woman named Dot. All right, let's ring Okay I'm so excited

Here we go Hello 2SM Hello 2SM Hello Hello Hi it's 2SM Hello my name is Dot Is this front desk reception? Yep. A query. What did you say your name was? Ben. Ben from 2SM. Ben from 2SM. Ben, my name's

Dot. How are you, Ben? I'm good, thanks. How are you? I've been better I've been better I have a query I listen to the John Laws Morning Show program every day I mean I'm not a religious person but I listen every day and for the love of God I can't listen anymore you see in the mornings too I have to get my knee lanced I've got pus in my knee it's a whole thing but I can't seem to listen live so I have to listen via podcasts

however there hasn't been a podcast updated Ben since March, middle of March middle of March really? for the John Laws program and I haven't heard his voice in months really?

and my godson my godson Bailey taught godson, Bailey, taught me how to podcast. And I go on every morning without, it takes me 20 minutes to get on, and I click it open

and March 17th, I've written it down in my notepad. March 17th is the last podcast from John Laws. Okay, March,

right now, I'll check the website right now. Is everything okay with John? Yes, everything's okay with John. He was sick today, so he didn't get on today. Oh, no. Let me check. His last

show was yesterday. Tell him, Dot, from Wonga Baradine, he'll know me. We had a brief fling back in 1980. But tell him I said know me. We had a brief fling back in 1980. But tell him I said my regards. So the podcasts, they don't get thumb-drived in. They're not on anymore.

They are on. They're on the website. Oh, no. Apple. Not the website. Apple, Ben. Oh, Apple. Okay. Apple. It, Apple, okay.

Apple, it is lavender in colour, and the application has a little boy with two rings around their head. Okay, you might, oh, I'm not sure if that's the right one. You might have to download an app called TuneIn. Who? TuneIn, T-U-N-E. TuneIn. Space.

I-N. I'm getting a pen. Hold on, Ben. Yep. So it should be on the App Store. Who? It's called TuneIn. TuneIn.

Or if you're finding difficulties, you can go on the website. No. No. I don't want to go on a website i don't i'm with dodo and my internet is dreadful ben i i oh okay yes the apple podcast app you see comes on my phone i it's already there okay oh okay i'll it shouldn't be on our side i think apple hasn't updated the thing but um i'll pass it on to management to see if we're still on Apple. But it should be on an app called TuneIn. If you download that app, you can listen to other radio stations as well.

So that's B-U-N-E. No, no, no. TuneIn. T-U-N-E. Tune. So T-W-N-E-L-e tune so t-w-n-e l-n oh no no no tune t-u-n-e i-n oh like looney tune t-o-o-n no no no t-u. N-E. Oh, dear me. No. Tune, like tuning the radio. Yes.

Tune in. T-U-N-E. E, space, in. I-N. U-N. That should be on the website. United Nations. No, I-N.

I. Oh, I-N. I-N. I for Iceland. Okay, I've got to pick up other phone calls. I for Indigo. Hold on. Wait.

Jamie, Jamie. I for Indigo. And then N for Nelly. Yes. Tune in. All right. So spell it with me one more time. Ready?

T-U-N-E-O-N. I-N. I-N. No, I-N. Listen, I've got to get my grandson to get across. You sent Jonathan. Have I sent this? Me and him had a soiree way back when we both lived in Womba, Maradine. Sorry, can you repeat that again?

We lived in Womba, Maradine. We both had a little soiree. I don't want to get too much. I'm going to start blushing. This is why I need to talk to him and listen to the podcasts. I will make it happen. It's okay. Listen, thank you for everything.

You're a very young boy. Do you have a girlfriend, Ben? Sorry, my name's okay. Listen, thank you for everything. You're a very young boy. Do you have a girlfriend, Ben? Sorry, my name's Ben. Do you have a girlfriend? No, I don't have. My grandson is not straight, but I don't know what you are. I could talk to him and see if maybe you could just be friends. He'd love to get into broadcasting.

He's an artist, so he doesn't make any money, but I could talk to him and see if maybe you could just be friends. He'd love to get into broadcasting. He's an artist, so he doesn't make any money, but I could talk to him and maybe get that to happen. No, I'm good. Thank you. All right, Ben. Thank you so much. All right. Have a nice day.

Hoorah, Ben. Hoorah. Bye. Hoorah. Thank you. Oh, my God. Oh, God. Jesus.

You're going to get calls like that all day every day, I reckon. It was so calm, cool and collected. Oh, God. He did that really well. Also, I went in and out of a very deep British accent. I didn't even... Yeah, I did. I noticed the accent was fluctuating.

I never even considered this as an option. God, I wish we didn't have fucking jobs during John Laws' show. How good would it be if we could get through and you relived? Oh, my God. Like you did Pike's Nursery 2.0. Like you got him to spell you something. That's brilliant. He might not have as much patience these days.

I don't think he would. I don't think he'd be that quick to realise that there's gold in this material. He was such a beautiful boy. Poor bastard. Jesus Christ. Wow. I love that.

I think I'm going to take Dot on a tour around the country. You should. Jesus. You're right. The old woman came a lot more naturally to you than the old man character. Yeah, definitely. What would the old man have sounded like? Hello, Mr. Craig. It's always

right British, isn't it? No, I prefer Dot. He's much easier to do. I don't know why. Oh, the poor guy. Wow. And he said, tune in to Mike Looney Tunes. That was my favourite. Also, they're really really dumb for not

having their podcast on Apple. And rather than saying, oh yeah, we'll fix that, they go, no, no, go to our website or tune in instead. Like, there's no way that's a good, like, not that this would be high on 2SM's priority list, but that's a very bad podcast strategy. Yeah, no, I don't think that's exactly top of the list.

I think, like, 89% of our listeners are on Apple, by the way. Really? Yeah, so, like, Apple is still the number one app that most people use for podcasts. And so the fact that they're not on there is really fucking stupid. Also, he didn't get an answer. Like, he didn't really know what was happening.

Yeah, I don't think he knew what was happening. He didn't get tuned in. Poor kid. All right, we'll be back next week. It really was a big show. It was true to my promise at the start. It was really quite big. Yes, I think you weren't being deceptive one bit.

Not at all. Next week, we'll be back. Jenna, thank you for being here. It was always a pleasure. Oh, that's okay. Jenna's mentally cocked out. My God, thanks for joining bit. Not at all. Next week, we'll be back. Jenna, thank you for being here. It was always a pleasure. Oh, that's okay. Jenna's mentally cocked out. My God, thanks for joining us. And we'll see you guys.

Don't forget to leave us a review. Five stars if you want and Enduring Idiots on Facebook for all the secret behind the scenes going ons of the show. And don't forget, you can catch us every Sunday night on Instagram Live

at Couple of Mitches. I haven't told you, but my auntie, she's 70 on Sunday and I think I'm going to miss her. Don't even start. Just joking. She's dead.

All right, we'll see you guys next week. See you. Catch you then, guys. Bye. Is it just me? Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app. Or follow on Spotify. Welcome to ATV Brief. How very dare you, Jenna.

That's not your role, Jenna. Stole my line, bitch. Back in the kitchen. This is our secret segment that we hide on the end. Yes. Mitch is embarrassed by it, but I'm proud of it. Yes.

We hide it because I just don't think it really paints us in a good light. It shows how fucking chaotic we are. No. Sometimes it's the best content. Mostly, 98% of the time,

it's terrible. Yeah. It's treacherous. I concur. Most of the time, it's terrible, which is why it's a secret. So if you're here,

don't tell anyone. Don't tell anyone to go listen to this bit. Just tell them to listen to the start of the show. Hopefully, we trick everyone out of listening. Anyway, the reason that we call it ADD Brief is because ADD, like, you know, attention deficit disorder.

I've got it. I just highly suspect you've got it. We should actually do, Jenna, can you Google like an ADD checklist or something? Like a quiz. I can't believe we've never done this before. I don't think I have it. No, I seriously think you do, which is why we call it ADD brief because it's a couple

of people with suspected ADD having a deep brief. Yeah. And I definitely, I definitely, you know, go on tangents and struggle focusing. So actually now the more I speak, the more I realise I probably do have it. Yes. Undiagnosed. I was tested as a kid because it was in my family, but I didn't have it. Oh, really?

You can develop it later, right? Yeah. I didn't get, I didn't get diagnosed till I was tested as a kid because it was in my family, but I didn't have it. Oh, really? You can develop it later, right? Yeah, I didn't get diagnosed until I was 18. And weren't you happy that you got diagnosed because you're like, finally, something I can cling on to? What do you mean cling on to? Not cling on to. I mean, it's not your bumper sticker or anything. It's not your Insta handle.

No. Here's some points. Often fails to pay attention to detail or makes careless mistakes. I don't make careless mistakes. Often has trouble... Sorry, sorry. That was a mistake. Often has trouble holding attention on tasks.

What are we doing? You're an idiot. Often does not seem to listen when spoken to directly. Often does not follow through on instructions. Wow. This sounds like a puppy preschool training list. Hang on, Jenna. I don't want just a list.

So I've just found a quiz. So I have to take this. Yeah. How old are you? 25? Just turned 25. You are male, newly diagnosed? No.

All right. How often do you have difficulty sustaining your attention while doing something for work, school, a hobby, like a podcast? Yeah. Never, rarely, sometimes, often. Oh, God. I've already forgot my question. I feel like I'm back in my HSC.

Often. How often are you easily distracted by external stimuli, like something in your environment or unrelated thoughts? Often. Often. No, that's only when I'm in this podcast, guys. Is it? In my daily life, I'm very on it, but often. I can do sometimes.

Do sometimes. Okay. Cut me some crap. How often do you avoid, dislike, or are reluctant to engage in tasks that require sustained mental effort or thought? Is there a daily option? It's the same option.

Often. Never rarely often. I'd say often. Okay. How often do you have trouble listening to someone even when they are speaking directly to you like your mind is somewhere else? See, now this is never only when I'm here because I've got a hundred things to do. So I would say No, but I've told you

so many times, particularly in ADD Brief, you don't have a hundred things to do. This is where it's tools down, we just shoot the shit. No sound effects. There's no need to always be looking at other things. There hasn't been one sound effect happening today. Well then what are you distracted by? I can see your eyes. I'm organising my night show because it's about to go to air

any minute. Do, um, what's the middle option? Do you remember the question? Yes. Sometimes. Sometimes. Number five. How often do you have difficulty organising an activity or task needing to get done, i.e.

poor time management, failed to meet deadlines, difficulty managing sequential tasks? Why'd you call me? Yeah, that's probably up there, often. Okay. How often do you fail to give close attention to detail or make careless mistakes? Often. I'm just lazy.

That's why. How often? See, I thought the same. I thought that I was just lazy, but then I'm like, no, I'm not. The ambition's there. I just keep struggling. I feel like how I thought the same. I thought that I was just lazy, but then I'm like, no, I'm not. The ambition's there. I just keep struggling. I feel like how I felt when I realized I was gay.

But if I just do what I did then, I'll just forget it for 20 years. How often do you forget to do something you do all the time, such as forgetting an appointment? No, I don't do that. Or paying a bill. Oh yeah. I'm still, I'm three months overdue on my Optus bill. That cut me off yesterday. I had to pay them urgently.

There we go. So monthly. And it's like, you do this every month. Why do you keep forgetting? Do you want to set up a direct debit? I'm like, who's debit? That's what I've got. It's so easy.

How often do you lose, misplace or damage something that's necessary in order to get things done, i.e. phone, glasses, paperwork? No, I'm not. Never. Never. I'm very good like that. I am. You can't answer the questions for me based on what you think. No, there was something you were saying that you lost the other day.

You put it in a drawer when you were moving and you've got no idea where it ended up. There's something you said the other day that you lost and you can't find it. No, that was $500 cash my mum gave me. She put it in the cling film roll. I don't think that's what it was. It was something we were talking about on the podcast. I can't remember what it was, but yeah, you said you lost the pizza technology or something.

I don't know. No, my mum gave me 500 bucks for my birthday. I went, so you don't lose it, I eat it. And I couldn't find it. Then I called her, I'm like, where the fuck did you put the $500? She went, it's in the cling wrap roll. I went, why? She went, so no one would steal it.

No one is in Hayden? That's so weird. I know. So, no, I don't think I'm, I'm not. I'm actually quite on it. Although I did smash my phone screen yesterday. What did you do? I didn't drop it. A mug fell on it.

Oh. It was horrific. A mug fell on it? Yeah. Where were the mugs falling from? Out of the cupboard? Yeah, you've been to my house. The cupboards are above.

And I was making coffee early in the morning, dazed and confused. And I opened the cupboard and they weren't stacked correctly. And it fell, smashed my screen and it's horrific, really bad. Oh, wow. But is it the screen protector? I peeled the screen protector off and when I'm done, severe double penetration. Oh, no. Let's continue this piece.

How did the mug cope? The mug was fine. I drank my coffee out of it. It was brilliant. What sort of concrete fucking mug is this? I don't have Apple care. Probably Hayden probably got Country Road care on his fucking mugs. It's a real thick porcelain mug.

Okay, here we go. AppleCare. Hayden probably got country road care on his fucking mugs. It's a real thick porcelain mug. Okay, here we go. How often do you have trouble following through on instructions or commitments, failing to finish work, duties, et cetera? See, it's different because when there's no stakes, I don't give a shit. If you come to my party and I don't go, I won't care. No, I will care, but I just will be like, I can get away with not doing it.

But if it's a work task, I'll lose sleep over not getting it done. So it just depends on the statics. Yeah but I think sometimes you avoid getting things done because you think that it's going to be overwhelming or you'll have to focus too much. Probably. Yeah. It's like a therapy session. So often. Or sometimes.

When do I get the results? You've forgotten to answer the question. Often or sometimes. Eh, sometimes. When do I get the results? You've forgotten to answer the question. Often or sometimes? Sometimes. Okay. How often are you unable to play or engage in leisurely activities quietly? I play quietly. I just thought that was your personality, though.

To be loud. Yeah. No, but I love to sit on my iPad for an hour and do nothing and not talk to anyone. Okay. Well, I can do rarely or never. Do rarely. Okay. Not never, for God's sake.

I love causing a scene. How often? Sorry, just a side point. The other day I told the barista that they gave me the wrong milk and they didn't. What? I just wanted to see what would happen. I was like, is this oat milk? She's like, no.

And I'm like, oh, I wanted oat milk. And then she's like, oh my God, I'm so sorry, mate. It's fine. I'll drink it. And walked off. Sorry. The reason I'm laughing is because the next question is, how often do you have difficulty waiting your turn,

such as waiting in line or interrupting other people? And as I was asking the question, you interrupted me and went, hang on, goat's milk or whatever the fuck it was. Often. Yeah, but how many people answer this, host a podcast and radio show? My job is to interrupt. No, it's not. I don't interrupt.

I feel it. Sorry, just one. How often do you feel like you're on the go, acting as if you're driven by a motor? Example, you're unable to be or uncomfortable being still for an extended period of time, such as in a restaurant or a meeting. No. That one's me as fuck.

That's not me at all. Never? I can sit still for a year and I'll be fine. That's why I don't watch movies that often, because it stresses me out. I can't just lie down. Me too. I love it. No.

I worry that I can't lie down because I'll stay there. Really? Yeah. That's funny. Literally, when I wake up in the morning, I make my coffee and I sit down to drink my coffee, I'll be there for sometimes An hour or two Yeah I do that

Because of my tiredness If I get home I'm like don't sit down Don't sit down You'll never go to the gym Yeah Once you're down You're fucking down

Hayden does that too But I've noticed If I'm trying to stay still I'll just have one of my stress balls Something that That keeps me simulated Yeah Or your ooshies

Whatever you're into Yeah No they're not ooshies What are they? Furries You're a furry No How often do you leave your seat in situations when remaining seated is expected?

Never. E.g. leaving your place in the office or workplace. Never. I do that a lot, actually. Never? Oh, rarely. I can go with never. That's fine.

No, go rarely because sometimes I go to the bathroom for the sake of it. Or go to see Jenna on the other side of the building. Yeah, same. How often do you blurt out an answer before a question has been consented? I think we both do that, though. Yeah, we do. I'm just excited. We overlap a lot.

Let's practice having a conversation where we allow a pause. Ready? G'day, guys. Welcome to the show. It's going to be big. We've got a lot planned and I'm personally excited for Talk Back Tings. Is it actually going to be big, or are you just saying it's going to be big? I don't know.

Jenna, what are your thoughts? It's going to be big. Now after you. Do you know what I've noticed, though? That might have felt a bit slow and dreary, right? But that's normal. Well, I work for Kyle and and jackie oh right yeah and that's actually how they talk like i remember kyle saying something off air to me once he's like oh yeah the best thing about the show is that jackie and i as as

the years have gone by we're not afraid of silence anymore and so they actually speak like that and leave lots of pauses it's because they've got obnoxious EDM nightclub beats in the background. I was just about to do it. So we could have that same conversation. And as long as we're blasting music, you can't tell that it sounds really slow paced. Yeah. Let's try. Ready?

Let's do this. So let's pretend we're on my Kiss FM award-winning night show. Ready? And we'll leave spaces between. between. It's going to be a very big show. I'm excited. How big are we talking?

A couple things happening. Three, four, I reckon six things in total happening. Yeah, but here's the thing. You always say it's going to be a big show. And we actually had one of our listeners write in and they said, Mitch always says it's going to be a big show. And we actually had one of our listeners write in and they said, Mitch always says it's going to be a big one, so it really loses its spark. They can't all be big shows.

Here's the thing. With that, I can say what I want because it's my show, right, Jenna? I agree. It's less noticeable with the bed in the background, right? Yeah, it definitely is. If we were on Kiss, though, we'd throw to a promo. Ladies and gentlemen, what's up? It's Shawn Mendes. What about traffic?

Don't. Let's get back to the quiz. Yeah, the dreadful irony is that we've just gotten distracted from an ADHD quiz. We couldn't even stay focused. Do we have the answer? Okay. So.

Are we done? Oh, sorry. I thought that was it. And that's the next page. Okay. There's only a couple more to go. Goodness me. My show is on very soon. We've got to go. Let's power through this shit. so are we done oh sorry I thought that was and that's the next page okay there's only a couple more to go my show is on very soon

let's power through this shit you're the one that got distracted and we're playing shit fucking promo I'm sorry that I had Jessica on the line she was waiting all show how often do you feel

restless like you want to get out and don't go do something sometimes that's not really me rarely no sometimes how often do you fidget

or tap your feet or hands or squirm in your seat? Often. Same. I bite my nails like crazy. How often do you find yourself talking excessively? You just sit every day. How often do you interrupt or intrude on others?

This is the same question. I don't intrude. Like butting into their conversations or taking over what others are doing. On a podcast? Yes. No, you do do that, though. Do I? Yeah.

Oh. There'll be like two people in the other end of the building between your desk and the male toilet. They'll be having a conversation. You'll just walk through them and go, oh, Deb, what are we talking about? You just take over. They just have to drop everything. Sorry.

People tend to love it though. Were several of the symptoms present prior to the age of 12? Nah. It's only come with adulthood? I reckon. Okay. I don't remember anything. I don't remember yesterday other than 12.

Do the symptoms appear in at least two or more settings, i.e. home and school, home and work? See, this is where I think it's interesting. I think at home and with family and social, I'm none of these. But I get very stressed about work and commitments and events and things like that. Here we go. This is the final one.

Okay. You scored a total. Okay. So if you have 34 or above as your score, you more than likely have adult ADHD. Got it. And you got 41. Oh.

So I don't have it. Yep. No, no, that's incorrect. They're giving me a little pie graph. It's mostly green. They're like, yeah, your ADD is fuck bra. Oh, see, I didn't really sit down and study that. Study what?

That quiz. I'll need to thoroughly do it. Okay. That's all right. Obviously, I'm not a doctor, so don't go rushing off. So what type of pills can I get now? Oh, they're great. Really?

Yeah, but be wary. Once people find out you're taking Ritalin or Dexys, they'll be hitting you up at every party. Because it's club drugs too, right? Yeah. Really? Yeah. And everyone's like, oh, you must have great nights out. And I'm like, no, these medication make me normal.

They don't make me hyperactive. They complement the chemicals of my brain. Whereas if someone who doesn't have ADHD takes it, they're like, woo! Really? Yeah. Lots of people tried to buy them off me at uni so they could study all night, stay awake longer.

They're a stimulant. Yeah, I remember once we were at a local Mac because I knew in the bathroom and I wanted to get a soft serve cone. I went to his wallet to get 30 cents and there was full of pills in the coin section. Yeah, that's my just in case I'm out and about. Luckily, we were in the country and the staff went, yeah, no, you can pay with that.

Okay, just a soft serve, please. Well, there you go. Well, at least I'm not soft. Don't be shady at me. I wasn't insulting you. No, I know. I didn't need to be diagnosed. I wasn't insulting you. No, I know. I didn't need to be diagnosed. I do have a brain condition after all,

so maybe that comes into play. Well, yeah, it would be good to get some clarity. Some of those symptoms could be related to your bloody... Oh, no, don't tell me I'll get it. Don't tell me I'll get it. Chiari malformation. Hayden doesn't even know he does. He calls it Chiara.

Chiara. Some of the symptoms could't even know. No, he does. He calls it Chiara. Chiara. Chiara. Some of the symptoms could relate to that. Some could be ADHD. Very true. So it's good to, you know, find out. And you know what? For those listening, go and Google Chiari malformation because the more people that know about it,

the better. Yes. And I'll post this link to the Chiari Facebook page. I was banned for a short period of time. What did you do to get banned? I asked twice because I forgot that I posted once before. Oh. I said, hey, anyone use any good pillows for the brain?

And they went, get the Duro pillow. Done a pillow. Get the Durex. I'm like, great. A week later, hey guys, anyone ever read a book? Like, hi Mitchell, you posted this again. You're being blocked for a week. I'm like, what? That's part of the condition. You would think the Chiari malformation munted brain support group would have a bit of sympathy

for the fact that you've forgotten that I posted it. The Chiari warriors. There you go. a support group. Some people have it far worse than I do. Why would they ban you? There you go, I meant the support group. It's like our enduring idiots, by the way. There's 2.2 thousand in there.

Oh, wow. Random's anyone else? Oh, let's see if this is right. Hey, does anyone else's head kill with any slight change in emotion? Like, smiling and laughing is a no for me, even though I do it all the time, obviously. But if something brings a tear to my eye,

like a video or something I've just watched, wow, this is very apt. I just end up feeling like I have to hold my head together. Aww. No, I don't feel like that. Should I comment? Just say no. No!

Oh, and they get fired up. Katie says, 250 invoice for a six-minute Zoom? WTF? Kiari Tings. Hashtagged. Really? I'm not even joking.

Can anyone recommend an oximeter for a child age three? Phillips. There you go. I don't know if they make one, but I'm sure they do. Google Kiari Malfamation. The more people that know, we can get a cure made. You know, there's one specialist in the country for Kiaro Malformation. Guess where his office is?

Where? Macquarie Park. Bullshit. Which is where our radio station is. It's just down the road. It is. And before I worked here, we had to drive all the way to Macquarie Park. I'm like, fuck this.

The sticks. Never leaving the shire again. Next week, get a job. Kiss. I've never left here. I'm naming my firstborn Macquarie. Anyway, it really was a great show, guys. It was a big show. I really a great show It was a big show

I really enjoyed it It was a big show I'm exhausted now I've got to do a national radio show Well you're the one that's still talking You could be done right now If you want to do it I don't think I'm done

I don't think I want to leave I'm enjoying it Anyway thanks guys Yeah Thanks for listening As always Thank you everybody for listening To our podcast

Jenna sounds like the U6 SRC leader At the head of assembly Thanks for listening as always thank you everybody for listening to our podcast jenna sounds like the u6 src leader at the head of assembly thanks for listening miss mcconnelly wants to not wants miss mcconnelly wants to know if anyone wants to do basketball volleyball meet her in the canteen after the assembly thank you no it would be mrs maxson to address the assembly. And then she walks up. Rather than being prompt and ready to walk, she gets up and you hear the... Good morning, everyone.

And then she would ask for basketball recruits. Correct, yeah. It's like, just get the fucking... Get the little bitch that's the class captain to just do a quick speed break and just punch that out. Speed break! Be like, okay, basketball sign-ups, head to blah, blah, blah, check the newsletter. God, those things are fucking, they drag on, don't they?

Yeah, things were different in 1773. Very true, actually. Very true. For goodness sake, I can't relate. I just think that school assemblies are very poorly produced. I agree, actually. Oh, my God, I would love to produce a school assembly. Do you remember the radio

awards? Yes. Like, it's so obvious that that shit is produced by radio people. It is so punchy. It's so punchy, and it's done in. We have the same amount of awards as you get at the bloody Grammys. Grammys is three hours. Our event is 45 minutes. And there's no speeches. No speeches. By the time the other person

has collected their trophy, the next person's already walked out and started reading out the nominees for the next award. It's so well-oiled. And they've already hook and tease what's coming up next. It's great. Ellie Goulding's performing the halftime show in about 20, but first best regional broadcaster.

And they all announce really well. No stumbles because they're all radio announcers. But no speeches is a missed op because we all love to talk. Actually, no, you're right. Speaking of which, we should go. We actually should go. See you next week. Episode, what episode was this?

40? We didn't say it once. Four? We don't really need to. People can read. 45? I just like to say it out loud, like a positive affirmation. See you next week for episode 46.

Catch you then, guys. Bye-bye. Bye, everyone. Bye-bye. Soft.
