People do some weird shit. Television legend Kerri-Ann Kennelly fell several metres from a trapeze while performing in the musical Pippet. Some things make more sense than others. Ring Pikes Nurseries. What nursery? Pikes. P-Y-K-E-S. P-Y-A. K as in kill. P-Y-A. K as in kill.

P-Y-E. K! Brace yourself for the rude shocks of young adulthood. Why is being alive so expensive? I'm not even having a good time. This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of Mitches. What about me?

Don't forget Chin-O. Who? Now, here's Mitch Chudy and Mitchell Coon. Yep, here we are. Hello, guys. Welcome to the show, guys. Yeah, episode 59, can you believe? I know, we're getting up there. Grounds Keeper Jenna, our third wheel is here as always.

That opener always puts me off when you refer to yourself in the third person like your Bono or something. Yeah, yeah. What about Jenna? Why don't you shut up? Jenna's in a foul mood today, can I just say. She did crack it at me earlier. What? Oh my god, what happened? I'm annoyed. Why?

Because I don't even know if I'd use the word prank. It's more just harassing. I've been kind of harassing her for the last few months. And it's been going on forever. Workplace harassment? Because we all work in the same office. No, so what happened was, you know that app, it's called Find My on your phone.

So you can either, yeah, you can track where your friends are on a map or you can like look for your devices and stuff so I know where my AirPods are. I added Jenna

on Find My Friends and because I give her a lift every morning, I wanted her to see how far away from my house I was, how much time she had to get ready. Yep.

And then I was playing around on the app, realised that you can send people notifications based on where you are. So I was like, send Jenna a notification five minutes before I arrive. Okay, got it. So it would look on a map and go, yep, Bing, Jenna, he's five minutes away.

And then I got carried away because I realised that you can set up so many notifications. She gets a notification. I just thought, what are the places I most commonly go? She gets like 50 notifications a day from me. It's like Mitchell's at home, Mitchell left home, Mitchell's at IGA, Mitchell's at the gym, Mitchell's at Pilates, Mitchell's at

Carl's today. I'll drive past the gym, Mitchell's at the gym. And she just gets so many notifications from me. And you did this on purpose? Yeah, just to be annoying. And he's not exaggerating. I've got this up. Show me.

Let me get this. I want to get the app up. This is fun. Do you know what? I don't think yours works. Why? Because one time when you left the room and you left. Here's the notification.

Show me. Pass me your phone. Let me read the mail. That's all from today. So Jenna's just scrolled. Oh, this is all from today. Mitchell arrived at Plus Fitness sent by Mitchell Coombs. Mitchell arrived at Plus Fitness sent by Mitchell Coombs. Mitchell arrived at Plus Fitness sent by Mitchell Coombs twice in one day.

Yeah, but I don't think yours works, Mitchell. Why is that? That's so fucking funny. Why? Because one time you left your phone behind and you left the room and I tried to play a prank on you by setting up notifications to our boss and you would have, like, killed me. And I waited months being like

is he gonna say anything is our boss gonna say anything i just don't think it works you did it i tried to send notifications whenever you arrived at home at work all these things to our boss so he'd be like what the fuck is this but it never worked mine oh god what's wrong with you do you need a eucalyptus drop i love it love it. Do you want me to go get one? Yes, please. Be right back. Hey, while I'm gone, open your prezzies. Guess what it is, guys.

Oh, my God. It's merch. No, it's not. What is with the military music? Marching band. Merch. March. March.

Right. Yeah. See what you did there. Okay, cool. Anyway, I've got our prototype. So, our merch store is now live. Yay! Head to the link in our bio. You can check out what we've got. I'm going to give you guys your jumpers. Fuck off the eucalyptus drop.

I'm fine. I'm fine. You sure? I'll go grab one. There's a couple of other pieces of merch. I'll tell you about them later in the show, but for now, here's your jumpers. Can you pass me mine? There you go. Thank you. I'll get you eucalyptus. Oh, thank you.

I thought this was a Sheridan doona, but it's a... Oh, Jenna! What? Oh, guys, you are going to explode when you see this merch. Oh, thank you. Thank you, Mitchell. I'm just talking about the hero piece. Yes.

There's more than just these jumpers, but they're very cute. You can see the photos on our Instagram, a couple of Mitch's. Also on the show today, I'm going to be doing another top five. Oh, we did one last week. We did. This one's completely different to the anal one from last week. Last week was the perks of anal. This week is the top five TV show deaths.

Oh. Because last week, Jenna mentioned McLeod's daughter's in passing, just off the cuff. Oh, yes, Rachel Cephani. Yes, correct. I didn't even hear it. And now so many people in our Facebook group have been talking about it, saying that they've been re-watching it even today.

Like, it's had a rebirth because it's on Stan. Oh, of course. And I thought, oh, that harrowing scene where Claire McLeod died. And then I'm like, all right, let's go through the best TV show deaths. I've got so many. You'll have to make me fall in love with it because I've never seen it. Who's the actress? Megan Chobani.

No. Rachel Capani. She plays Jodie. I have that yogurt in the morning. She's not the one that died. Oh, okay, okay, okay. All right, well, that's coming up. Plus, if it's your first time listening, we at Is It Just Me, the podcast,

are proudly fuelled by Red Rooster and we start the show the same way every week with something we've noticed, Something we hate or appreciate. We call them idjams. We bring one each. Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's. And I think I should start this week. Do you guys mind?

Go for your life. Go for it. Is it just me? Or? Is it wrong if I give Hayden something for his birthday that I was sent from a PR company? Oh. You can't re-gift free shit to your boyfriend. It's his birthday tomorrow. And by the time this is aired, he would have already celebrated.

Happy birthday, Hayden, 25. It wasn't his thing. It's a big gift. We're talking value upwards of $600. I've been sent two tickets to Hamilton. Oh, that's pretty decent actually. Pretty decent. No, because that's an experience.

That's an experience that I could just say, babe, I got you two tickets. Here's a little photo of Hamilton. I don't have to print out the tickets because it does say preview show. Tickets are pretty hard to get a hold of. So you'd be dumb not to take advantage of it. Yeah, but should I tell him that I paid for them? Oh, I feel like he'll find out that you didn't. Like, you can't try and trick him. But still, if you take him to dinner beforehand or something so that you've spent money or if you make it a surprise, I don't know, something to make it not just you being a scab.

No, no, there's plenty of other gifts. I think that's fine. If it's just a complimentary thing on top of other gifts, then that's fine. Well, he's just a complimentary thing on top of other gifts, then that's fine. Well, he's starting a podcast. So what I've done is I've got all the podcast production and assets made. So you know how we have our intro and we have the show opener. I've got all that produced for him with an audio producer to save him money to have to go make it.

Well, we shan't be flogging his podcast here. He's now our rival, technically. No, he's not. He's not signed with any network. He has no merch. He'll get there. He will. So you think it's fine? I can do it?

Yeah, totally. As long as you do something else, because you can't just give him free shit. I thought you meant that you were going to give him, I don't know, Angie Kent's book. We get sent so many books. Big old Kent. Is that what it's called?

I have no idea, actually. My worry is that it's a media night, and we get invited to all these media events because we work in the media. And you have all these shows and they send invites out to people in the media, in the press, to come and review it and talk about it on their radio shows and their podcasts, whatever. So if I go there and tell them that I bought it, then all of a sudden we're sitting next to Sandra Sully. Yeah, you can't do that. Yumi Steins. Oh, my God. You don't have to talk with the little, you can just drop under your tongue.

Sorry. I'll do it. I'll do that. Wait, so consensus is I can do it. Yeah, you'll be right. And also, it's Hamilton. That's such a big musical. Oh, I know.

I'm worried about going to see Hamilton. I've got tickets. I've had them for ages. But is it going to be like Les Mis where I need to, like, appreciate the historical context? Because I fucking hated Les Mis because I was like, what's going on? Everyone's like, didn't you pay attention in history?

I was like, nah. When I saw Hamilton, I didn't know anything about the history behind it. What is the context of Hamilton? It's bizarre, Jenna, because you were there. Yes. So it's weird that you'd forgotten everything that had happened. Yes, but I wasn't in America at that time. No, correct.

You were in the Mayflower, but you were drugged. Yes. Awful time for you. Hamilton is, oh, Hamilton's great. Actually, the marching music fits right back in with the discussion of Hamilton. Hamilton's brilliant. I've seen it twice. You will need to understand the historical elements. Which is what? That was my question.

Yeah, you will. I think you will. No, which is what? What's the historical context? I've asked three times now. So sorry. The marching band music is quite loud. It is the settlement of America and the UK not being very happy with America wanting to become its own republic. Right.

Then there's wars and they're fighting and it follows Alexander Hamilton, which it's very odd. He was never a president of the United States but was so influential in the formation of America that it's almost like he got such a raw deal. You go to America and then there's Washington, D.C., named after Washington, the Washington Memorial, and then you've got all these ex-presidents on the notes. And he set up the whole Federal Banking Reserve,

the whole system, came up with all these things, was very formative in DC and the politics and whatever and he's got nothing. Except a musical! Except a musical! So he has a musical. So it's, jeez. I'm sorry, I've just completely lost interest. I'm trying. Anyway, when you see it, look

at the King and think, that's the role that I wanted. That's the role that I've performed here on the podcast. I think that you would be great. I think I would be too. Played by Jonathan Groff originally. Jonathan Groff, originally. And I did audition for the role of one of the Mormons in the Book of Mormon. But couldn't tap. Couldn't tap dance, so I was exiled.

So it could have happened. Could have. All right. Hayden's getting Hamilton tickets. Yay! That I paid for! No, no, I said don't lie about it. Don't forget.

I'll be honest. I'll be honest. I'll lie now. All right. Ready for your region? Yep. Hit me. Don't lie about it.

Don't forget. I'll be honest. I'll lie now. All right. Ready for your region? Yep. Hit me. Is it just me or?

Are you no good at an elevator pitch? Oh, I don't think I've ever been put in a situation recently where I have to elevate a pitch, but it gives me too much anxiety. I couldn't do it. Well, it's like I'm talking a metaphorical elevator pitch, as in like you've only got a short amount of time to like give a really top line summary of an idea you've got. But I had a literal elevator pitch the other day. I was in the elevator here at work, and the two big dogs of the business were there,

the group program director and the CEO. Oh, wow, and my boss's boss. Yes. And the CEO. Yes. And so Duncan, who I know, he Oh, wow, and my boss's boss. Yes. And the CEO. Yes, and so Duncan, who I know, he says, oh, how's the podcast going? Yeah. And then the CEO, with his Irish accent, says,

what is your podcast about? You can do this. Oh, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, what's your podcast about? And I was like, oh, I don't know, we just talk about stuff, you know, we just do things, you know, we just talk about stuff, you know. We just do things, you know. We just talk about stuff, you know. It's just stuff. You didn't say that, did you?

No, I can't remember what I said, but it didn't say it well. He's like, right. Okay. I'm getting anxiety. Hey, fun fact, by the way. I read the other day that this week, as in the week that this podcast is released, is International Introverts Week. Oh, let's celebrate.

It's fitting for people like me who in that scenario just went. So, but what could you have said? Yeah, you've got 12 seconds. Oh, we've just recently been sponsored by Rooster, who we love and we have merch coming. Well, yeah, I could have gone down that route, but I actually, I googled like what are the tips for the best elevator pitches? Yes. Firstly, but this is what you're actually, this is how you say it, right?

Keep it concise. And that made me remember this tip that I was given by, when I used to volunteer at the university radio station, I was in the newsroom and the newsroom supervisor, Murray, like this super old school radio guy, he would always be like, no, mate, too many words, too many words. And his tip for making a story short and sweet was like, right, pretend that you've taken your mother to the train station.

You're on the platform. She's just gotten on the trains. The doors are starting to close. And then you go, oh, wait, mum, one more thing. And then that's the amount of time you've got to tell the story while the doors are closing. Oh, and that also adds anxiety too. Well, that's the other thing because the the next tip is to speak slowly even though you feel like you're under time constraints you you seem more confident

if you're speaking slowly yes so it's like you're not left with many fucking words if the train doors are closing and you've got to speak slowly are you you can't shove your foot in there you'll get your foot chopped off like melissa caddick or that woman in the bush. Oh, yes. Awful. I'm getting extreme anxiety. Sometimes I still have Murray in the back of my head being like, train doors, mate. You have told me.

When other people ramble, I'm just like, fucking train doors. You have told me that analogy multiple times as advice. I love it. It works really well. But these were the tips that I found for what to actually say. So that's how to say it. And this is what to say. So you say the problem. You say the solution.

You say why you. You say the value, like what's in it for them. And then a call to action. So you might be like, I don't know, call me or email me or something like that. And so if I'd known this beforehand, because you know how you do that problem, solution, blah, blah, blah. If I'd known that beforehand, we would have been like, well, you know, young people don't listen to radio anymore. So, you know, they're into podcasting.

You've got to get things on demand and that's where we come in, you know, because we're kind of like a radio show, right, in a way. Yeah, yeah, very similar. And so it's like, you know, oh, what was next? Fuck. I fucked it. Get out. He's on the next level.

What was next? Say the solution. Okay. What would a solution be? Well, the solution would be. We do it all in one take. He's on the next level. Say the solution. Okay. What would a solution be? Well, the solution would be... We do it all in one take. It's improv. So it has that magic of a live radio show.

Not much editing. Yep. There's segments as well. Very similar to radio. Yes, but you can get it on demand. Correct. Say why you. Would that be, I don't know,

Jen and I do online experience. You do the broadcast experience. So we've got the reach and the experience behind us. Also, we're actual friends outside. We haven't been paired up like many radio stations. They've paired two no-ones together. We have chemistry. Natural chemistry.

The value is that we're already in production. You don't have to start from scratch. We're already going. And then call to action. I'll be like, oh, you know, I'll email you a link. Let's chat. Something like that. Brilliant.

And so I was like, damn it, I wish I knew that stuff beforehand because I just went, oh, we talk about stuff, you know. That is actually what our ads sound like, the ones that air on the radio to promote this podcast. It's literally like, oh, they just talk about things. Have you heard that? Oh, I know. They don't really go into great detail about what we're about, do they?

No, and they're great. Over the break that we just had and because we're now iHeart podcast, all the iHeartRadio radio stations play a promo for our show. And it's lovely and it's great. But I don't know who wrote that script, but it is the most ambiguous thing I've ever heard in my life. Yeah, a radio ad is 30 seconds. That's like an elevator pitch in a way, isn't it?

Yeah, very true. You only got a certain amount of time, but they did not really. I've got one here because we use the same system in the radio station. Oh God, this is literally what I said to the CEO. This is as much detail as I got across. This aired over the summer promoting our podcast that you're listening to now. All right. So you're looking for a laugh and you don't mind a bit of overshare.

Check out a podcast called Is It Just Me? Really funny podcast. Couple of minutes to share thoughts and experiences on pretty much like anything goes with this podcast. Is It Just Me? On your iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts? Yeah, I was like, pretty much anything. Yeah. It's a bit vague, isn't it?

Very vague. There's not really like. Oh, there's a podcast where they share their thoughts about anything. Like that's every podcast ever. Yeah, but if you're a gardener driving in your car, you could be like, I don't get the name of that podcast. I wonder if they talk about gardening. Oh, God.

Fingers crossed they talk about chess one day. I love chess. They said anything. I hope they discuss neutering of dogs and techniques that I can apply in my veterinary clinic. What's the name of that podcast? Oh God. I was like, that's so misleading. Just about anything. That is so broad.

That's not tying anyone in. I mean, that's so many things to get through. There's so many things in the world we haven't talked about yet. Actually, there's so much pressure on us to discuss anything. Let's just throw it both ways. One of the ones I heard was worse. They said they talk about everything. I was like, what?

I heard one too. She's like, by a couple of minutes. She's the podcast that discusses, well, just about everything. I was like, no, that's not true. That really doesn't sell it well. Oh, we're talking about biodegradable bags. No, we're not. This week, Listerine strips and how you can use them in your life.

What? Is it just me? Hi, I'm Abby Chatfield, and I'm so excited for Merch March from Is It Just Me? Have a great day, guys. Thanks, Abby Chatfield and I'm so excited for Merch March from Is It Just Me? Have a great day, guys. Thanks, Abby Chatfield, friend of the pod, she is. Well, you don't have to wait any longer, darling. Merch March is here. Head to our Instagram, at couple of Mitches.

The link in our bio on all socials, that's where our store is, and it's going to be closed by the end of March. You've got to get your pre-orders in and then it's done for life. I said, Mitch, we should do it in April, but then Merch April doesn't have the same ring to it as Merch March. Not even close. Nope. So this is it. It's a one-time off sale. What we order and what you order is made.

There's no leftovers. Yes. So if we get 10 people order a jumper, we make 10 jumpers. So you've got to get your pre-orders in before the end of March. Should we discuss the range? Oh, yes. Well, we've got the jumper, obviously. Yeah, I'm wearing it right now. It's got a pair of headphones on it because we didn't want our faces or our logo because

then people will look at it in public and be like, what the fuck's that about? Correct. If it's a giant, is it just me? It also looks like we're a bit of a sellout. Yes. So we wanted to get something that's kind of broad. It wouldn't look weird if you wore it in public and people wouldn't be confused. So it's a giant pair of headphones but if you look really closely.

Zoom in. Within the headphones, little audio waves have little inside jokes from the show. You'll have to have a look on the store, see what it is. But it's like most people, if you're looking at the jumper, it's just a pair of headphones. Cute. Love it. But then our real loyal listeners are going to kick out of it because it's got the inside jokes that only we understand. Also, we know our listeners and we all know that we're all depressed and sob into the

sleeve of our shirts every night while we sleep and use our little Ariana Grande hands. You know how she wears the sleeves over the palms? We have a logo conveniently placed on the wrist. We do. And that's easily hidden as well. Just to remind yourself what you're listening to. So cute. They come in different colours as well.

So you'll have to go check out what they look like on our Instagram, our cover images. But as well as the jumper. Oh, the i know no jenna we never that was never approved you can get the lycra it's coming it's coming no yeah um well we're not breaking them so i hope you're on it um it's coming soon so as well as the actual jumper mitch and i have both have a piece of merch each that we're kind of going to be competing with you know what i'm saying oh we are competition yes so here we go real competition do you want to announce yours I both have a piece of merch each that we're kind of going to be competing with. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. Competition.

So here we go. It's a real competition. Do you want to announce yours first? Because mine doesn't need to go first. Mine will have the same amount of impact if I go second. Right. So this is yours. Take that piece of shit.

Stop being the retina. All right. Here's mine. What is it? So cast your minds back to the end of season one when I had a mental breakdown and I went on a psychiatric recess. That's what I called it. I thought it sounded a little more fancy than just saying I was on stress leave. It's more of a lunch.

So here in my palm I have a stress ball because you know I love my sensory toys and on it is a little lunch box with psychiatric recess written on it and then you flip it and it's our logo. So it's an is itbox with psychiatric recess written on it. And then you flip it and it's our logo. So it's an Is It Just Me psychiatric recess stress ball.

It's practical and it's cute. It's very nice. Pop it in your desk, keep it in your car when you're feeling a bit fidgety, especially if you feel like chewing your nails and you want to give that up. Just start squishing on the psychiatric recess stress ball. You're my competition. I might buy myself one because, you know, I buy my nails frantically. Yes.

I'm a big fan of it. Jenna, what do you think? I'm actually impressed by this. Jenna, can you give it a squeeze? It's good for your hand strength. Squeeze into the microphone. That's not really. No one can get that.

Wait, my nails, cat nails. Don't you dare scratch the vinyl. I'm not scratching. I'm tapping. Oh, yeah, that actually paints a better picture. What if I peg it at Mitch's forehead here? No, no, no Have a go Stop

Sturdy, stressful I'll have to take one, it actually is So that's Mitch's side piece My side piece I'm impressed, I'm very impressed Ladies and gentlemen I'll welcome you to the Is It Just Me shopping channel This is a tea towel Now I know what you're thinking Tea towel shopping channel. This is a tea towel.

Now I know what you're thinking. Tea towel? I don't need a tea towel. Yes, you do. We've all been to Aunty Jen's after she gets back from her trip to, I don't know, Boweral. She gets a lovely tea towel that says London, Paris, Rio, New York, Boweral, Seoul.

It's like, hold on, Boweral, where does Boweral fit into the mix? But they always make them. Every city has their own. They do, they do. Yeah, it's always London hold on, where does barrel fit into the mix? But they always make them. Every city has their own. They do, they do. Yeah, it's always London, Paris, Rome, and then some city thrown in there as a joke. Yeah, maybe. You know, I can't think of a suburb.

But I can think of fake ones, can't I, guys? We have got Is It Just Me Tea Towel with all of the infamous fake made-up townhomes. Oh, no way! I think from day one on the podcast, we figured out that you've got this weird talent for just making up very convincing-sounding fictional suburbs, and now they're all printed on that tea towel.

Bridge Badoon! That's where I met my neighbour Lucy. Wonga Baradine! Terrible bus fire there in 08. Lake Baraldimaldine! Lots of drownings in that lake. Tristleton! Beautiful at Christmas.

Narrow Oral Bean. Shark Attack in July. Brendel Barrel Dean. My Aunty Julie lives there. This can be hung over your oven. It can be used as an ice pack holder. You can dab it on your mouth when you have guests. Use it as a tablecloth on a mini baby table. You could use it as a bib. A tourniquet.

People already have tea towels. No one has stress balls. This is like a new addition. This will improve your life. This is where I think he's gone wrong. Because Jenna, let's cast your mind back to episode 31. I don't know. You say episodes and you know them.

I just pretend. Episode 31. When you gifted me a tea towel when I moved into my new abode. Oh, yes. I believe it was episode 36, but nice try. Well, episode 34, you gave me an Indigenous Australian tea towel. Right. It's been burnt to a crisp.

However, you wouldn't give a tea towel as a gift if you didn't think they were brilliant. Oh, he's got a point. Well, exactly. But this only makes sense to our listeners. They're not going to buy it as a gift, are they? Oh, I think if you give it to your mum, even better if she doesn't know that these are made up towns. She'll say, what for the loving fuck is this? Yeah.

Bridge Badoon, what? Bridge Badoon, like Farrell Dibbledean. It's got a little Is It Just Me logo. And, guys, that is some texture. But I think the names are so convincing that people will think that they're real places. What do you think? They'll be like, God, he gets around. I like the different fonts as well.

There's many different fonts. Many different fonts. Anyway, that's my side piece. And what we're going to do is, back to the drama of the whole situation, whoever sells the most side pieces. We haven't really discussed what happens after that. Will live. The other will be killed.

I like that. I like that. Slit at the throat by Jenna's nails. No, look, there's a bit of competition as to who sells more. I confidently feel I'm going to sell more stress balls because they're more affordable. Because it's $4 million. That's not true.

We'll enter the link in our bio to find out full pricing. Yes. However, everything will be available. It is available now as this podcast goes live. Yep. Get your orders in before the end of Merch March. That's right. Size inclusive as well.

We made sure that everyone will fit into our Is It Just Me merch. That was the best conversation I've had with the people that were helping us out with it. They were like, so what's the biggest size you want? And I'm like, well, the host is going to have to be able to wear his own merch, so you're going to have to get something the size of a tent. Yeah. Go to Lincraft and get four by four meters of tea towel material.

Anyway, it's all available now. Go buy yourself some. Let's do Red Rooster reviews before we move on. Of course. Of course. I've actually got one. Oh. Sorry to step on your turf.

I know you usually do the reviews, but I did notice that there was one you failed to read out for obvious reasons. I don't. What's the obvious reason? I don't go in chronological order, mind you. I go at random. No, because you usually just do the ones that are at the top, right? And there's one that you've obviously skipped on purpose.

Why? What is it? I'll find it so it's from all the way back in october and it says five stars from ebony car okay what an absolute banger of a pod do your ears a favor and give them the quality content they deserve all of you mitchell coombs in particular no offense i just adore you doll bring me so much joy my sincerest gratitude for the hours of entertainment. Of course you skipped the one where they said I'm the favourite.

Oh, because I didn't read it out. Ebony car. Any red rooster. Ebony car. Sorry, Ebony. You've got one week to hit us up at couple of Mitch's on Instagram to claim your prize if you hear your review read out. What a stupid name, Ebony.

Ebony truck. What have you got? I've got one from Charles, 2004, coming from the future. Charles says, loving the podcast, started listening late 2020 and got in love. Great. In your personal life, Charles, or with the podcast? Please be clear.

During the break, had a great time listening to one new episode each day, short and sweet, quite like the moose at Red Rooster. Oh, that is good. Even integrated the sponsor. Sure did. Charles, 3004. You've got seven days to contact or else we will give your prize to the needy children of the world. Oh, we laugh.

Time to move on to a top five? Oh, yes, let's do it. Edgeham top five. Today we are counting down the top five Aussie TV deaths. Oh, dear God. I'm not looking forward to this. I am. I do secretly froth like a death scene on a TV show

that makes you feel something because I have also seen many shit ones. Like Neighbours, there's only one that made the countdown from Neighbours. Really? Because most of them are so bad. Like there's so many awful, like really poorly executed

death scenes on Australian TV. Yeah. By the way, this is from like our generation. So there might be people being like, what about a country practice? I didn't watch that. I wasn't born. Of course. And also I didn't really watch Home and Away. So there may have been some iconic scenes on that. I wouldn't know though. You know, I have a friend that works at

Home and Away and I will not name them. However, Hugh Sheridan. However, I have a friend that works at Home and Away, and I will not name them. However, Hugh Sheridan. However, I've been told that they only get two takes per scene. Really? And if you don't get it in the two takes, then they're going to edit it. They'll make it work. Well, I've been an extra on Home and Away.

Correct. And they've done more takes than two. How many did they do? I don't know. There you go. More than two. You can't corroborate. Well, that's what I've heard on the grapevine.

I can corroborate. On the grapevine. Right. So you've got to kind of nail it the first time. Apparently so. That's why so many scenes can be somewhat cringeworthy and awkward because they've got such tight turnarounds. They're like, get this scene out.

We've got to move on. All right. I'm going to start with Claire McLeod's death on McLeod's Daughters. Not because it shouldn't be higher up in the countdown, but because everyone was talking about it in our Facebook group. Jenna mentioned McLeod's Daughters last week, and that's what's brought this about, right? Apparently, a lot of people are re-watching it on Stan. It's got

new life, so maybe I can sell it to you. Love that. I love Stan. So Claire and her sister Tess, they inherited their father's farm. So two female leads running the family farm. Sorry, are they McLeod's daughters? Yeah. Jack McLeod died, and then they had to take over the farm. Is he ever in the show Or is that sub pretext

No that's It starts with his death Like he's never in it That's good to know Yeah So This is three seasons later So you've gotten to know them

Witness their bond as sisters And then Claire goes And drives the ute Off a fucking cliff Doesn't she Dumb thing And it's got her daughter In the back

Who's a baby A baby Don't ruin it Hold on Does the baby No you'll have to wait and see Okay So you've got to see And it's got her daughter in the back. Who's a baby. A baby. Don't ruin it. Hold on. Does the baby... No, you'll have to wait and see. Okay. So you've got the scene here.

But the sister Tess did survive and went on to be in a few more seasons. Got it. But Claire. Oh, this is where we lost the plural. It was just McLeod's daughter after that. But you can't lose the McLeod's daughter. Yeah, well, we did. How many seasons did the show go for?

Too many. It got really crap in the end, but eight. All right. Were there any sisters surviving by the end? Oh, by the end, most of them had left, so they started bringing out McLeod's bastards and McLeod's love childs and McLeod's cousins. It was a mess.

But these were the two OGs, and so it broke everyone's heart. Let me watch this. Also, interestingly, they didn't actually promo that this was going to happen. It just took everyone by surprise. She just fucking died. Oh, my God. All right.

All right, so I'm listening out for Claire. Yes, she's the brunette in the driver's seat. Alright, let's roll the audio. Was she drunk? How'd she drive off the cliff? Legs jammed against the steering column. So she's stuck apparently. Just get out your door and get

her out through the door, alright? No. We'll move your seat back. No, no, no. No, no. You just get out the door and get? No. We'll move your seat back. No, no, no, no, no, no. You just get out the door and get her out. She's my baby. So apparently she's, like, wedged in the driver's seat so she can't actually get out.

But the others are out. She's about to plummet to her death. Oh, it's a big fall. Oh, it's a big fall. And then she's got to fucking... They live on a big property, right? She's got to run back to the homestead and find help. My sister's just bloody plummeted. I was going to say, does she have a scooter or an iPhone or something?

Skip forward a bit. OK. This is when she runs home and tells everyone Claire's dead. I reckon it's time to crack open that keg. Where are they? Tess probably wanted to get her hair done. I reckon she deserves to treat herself. Oh, they get the Commodore. Drive an hour, it seems, to the site.

Claire! That's her fiancé. Well, he was going to propose when she got home. Oh, no. Oh, dear. She's dead. I feel like most TV shows don't do that. They don't? They actually showed her lifeless fucking cold body. Yeah, they've put some powder white makeup foundation on her face.

All right. The first shot of you as corpse and action. You know what? As far as deaths go. Yeah. Dramatic. I know, just tragic. I thought she's got it.

I don't know what I'd do in that situation. Anyway, I'll have to go back and rewatch. So, number four. Yeah. This, I'll have to go back and re-watch. So number four. Yeah. This one, equally devastating to the nation. It happened on the Saddle Club. This is when the horse Hobolt died. Oh, no.

Oh, dear. It's a horse death. Oh, my God. Oh, good, because I don't think I can handle five human deaths in a row. I just know without having to ask that Jenna was into the Saddle Club as a kid. I definitely was. Were you? Did you ever watch it?

My sisters were into it. And so I have in turn secondhand seen a few episodes. Yes. Well, let's see if this rings a bell. Okay. So Veronica. Yeah. Who's a real fucking mole of a thing, right?

Yeah. So she's like the villain of the show and she's really competitive. They're doing some horse competition thing and she like pushes her horse too hard even though it's like not properly warmed up or like it's got a limp or something. She pushes it too hard. So it like trips, breaks its leg and then it has to get put down. Oh no. All because Veronica's a spiteful little dog and a selfish pig.

Yep, yep, yep. Poor Veronica. Selfish bitch. No, not poor Veronica. Oh, well she lost her horse. All right, do we have the footage? Yeah., yep, yep. Poor Veronica. Selfish bitch. No, not poor Veronica. Oh, well, she lost a horse. All right, do we have the footage? Yeah. All right, let's roll it.

To a slow truck. How's she doing? Is she winning? You better hope she knocks the rail down. So much drama for these children. She's going way too fast. What is she doing? Don't children. She's going way too fast. What is she doing? Don't laugh.

She's pushing. Oh. Look, it's all happening so quickly. Oh! Oh, the horse! Is the horse lying down now? The horse has fallen to its side in slow motion. Call Dr. Judy. Yeah, there should be an adult there.

You should have called Dr. Judy to start with. Oh, it's getting up. It's getting up. Oh, it's pulling its little hoof up. It's got a broken, like, I don't know, ankle or something. I have no concern for Veronica, who's been bucked off for Shetland. Shetland? It's a bad fracture.

But you can fix it, right? What sort of heart are we looking at? Well, even if by some miracle the bones did heal, it'd always be in pain. Your recommendation? That's it, then. No! He won't feel anything, Carol.

You can't. There has to be something else we can do. They should have pulled the children out of the room for that moment. She winked at the dad going, I'm going to kill him. we can do. They should have pulled the children out of the room for that moment. She winked at the dad going, kill him. You can save him. A horse like Cobalt will break his heart never to be able to run free again.

I think he'd rather that than be shot in the head. They've injected the I need you to calm down. Let's try to make these last few moments as pleasant as possible for him. They've injected the horse, right? The most beautiful horse in the world. We're never going to forget you, Cobalt. Sorry. Oh, Mitchell. That's terrible audio. Don't.

Of them shooting Cobalt in the forehead. That's not what happened. They gave an injection. This horse's corpse is on the ground. This is what happened. They gave an injection. His horse's corpse is on the ground. All these children are patting it. Now a montage

of Cobalt's finest days. Okay, we can stop here. Okay, alright. Poor Cobalt. Cobalt. Cobalt. No, Cobalt. Cobalt.

C-O-B-A-L-T. Cobalt. Cobalt. Cobalt. Yeah. Cobalt. Cobalt. There you go.

Poor Cobalt. Oh my God. Why can't you say Cobalt? Cobalt. Cobalt. Cobalt. Yeah. Cobalt. Cobalt. There you go. Poor Cobalt. Oh my god. Why can't you say Cobalt? Cobalt. Cobalt. Co. As in like co. Like coconut. Co. And then bolt. Bolt. Cobalt. Cobalt. Cobalt. Oh my god. What? Co. Bolt. Cole. Coe. Colbold's dead. All right, number three. Yeah. Bridget on Neighbours. Did you see this?

I've never seen Neighbours, no, but I have heard of this death. Hayden watches Neighbours. Really? Yeah. Still? No, no, no. Well, I'm at work every night, so he might be secretly watching it. I've never seen it, no, but he has seen it in the olden days. Did you, Jenna?

Also, my family's loved it. I used to watch Neighbours, yes. So, the death scene itself with Bridget was really lame. However, the ad promoting her death, that's what was emotional, right? I remember they played it for like all over summer, like all over Christmas

and the song would get stuck in my head all the time. Do you know this song? It's that Kate Millie Harky one. Oh, of course, yeah. Oh, I remember. Oh, of course, yeah. Oh, so she's lost in a bush? Lost alone. And then... I'm sorry.

She's dead. Oh, they're all so upset. Did you see Margot Robbie? Margot Robbie? Then we're at a funeral. Is it a weird thing? Oh, and then we're at a funeral. Isn't it weird? Oh, and then she's in a coffin. She'll always be Beth Parker?

Bridget. Bridget? Neighbours, 6.30 weeknight, special event. Isn't it weird seeing Margot Robbie on Neighbours? That promo was dramatic. It was very. It hyped up the death to be something more than what it was. What actually happened?

Because all we saw was her running in a bush. Well, the car went off the road and then she was in the bush and shit, I don't know. And she dehydrated in the bush? No, I actually can't remember. It was actually so stupid. Like, I was like, I could have survived that. Right. But they got the baby? Yeah. They always get the babies. Isn't it weird? Adults

who can probably live for three to four days without water and food, but a baby who needs to be wiped in the ass lives on for a month. See, that death made no sense. But anyway, it was still emotional because of that promo. Number two, Mel on Pack to the Rafters. Now that's a car accident that you think, oh, bitch, you didn't survive that. This I know.

And my whole family, as did I think everyone in the country, sat down to watch this event of Mel dying. It was the biggest news of the week. Was it promoted? Did we know she was going to die? Did we know someone? I think we knew someone was going to die. Yeah.

Wow. Yeah, it was one of those, like, oh, one of the rafters. Yeah. Back to the Rafters, huge show here in Australia, which is being rebooted as we speak. Yes. Also very, very poorly edited as I've recently. I've been re-watching it and I'm like, oh, my God,

there's so many jumps that are really obvious. Really? Yeah, it's so bad. Okay, do you have the footage for this? Yes, I do. What's the set-up? So is she going to dinner or something or she's a nurse? She's texting while driving.

Her husband's at a hotel in the city planning this romantic surprise and he's texting her the address and then she looks down at her phone and then just, boom, drives through a giveaway sign and gets T-boned. Oh, that's awful. Then she dies. All right, we have-boned. Oh, that's awful. Then she dies. All right, we have the footage here. Hey, it's me. Okay, time to spill.

Don't go home. Come straight to the Kent Hotel in the city. Room 712. I've got clothes for you. Even though you made me spoil the surprise, I love you too. Stuck in reverse. Oh, she's crashed. See, there's no surviving that, is there?

No, she's definitely dead. And then they have this really emotional music when her husband has to, like, identify her at the hospital. He pulls back the sheet to find find her like lifeless corpse. I remember that. He goes, yep, that's Mel. That's Hugh Sheridan, isn't it? Yep. Who we all know.

We're all friends with him. He was a very convincing straight man in that show, wasn't he? I know. He just got engaged to his boyfriend this week. I know. Good for you, Hugh. Congratulations. Clearly there's death he's moved on from, which is right.

I'm glad he's moved on and found happiness. He must have, yes. Go and YouTube that video, guys. This is a very sad death. All right. The last one. All right. The big one.

What is this? This one shook me to my core. It's Patrick on Offspring. Oh, I knew it. I knew it. And I didn't even watch Offspring. I just remember walking through the lounge room as a kid and my parents were watching it.

And I literally sat down as this happened. And this was the first ever scene from Offspring I'd seen. And I was like, oh my God, that was good. I've got to go buy the box set, which I did. And now I love Offspring. It's on Netflix, actually. Was Offspring actually good? Yeah.

Really? It was really good. And it had like a cult following. So you'll have to watch it on Netflix. It's actually really good. But what happened was he was just walking down the street he got hit by a car it wasn't anything too dramatic he just fell over and hit his head on the concrete and he got up afterwards so it wasn't like he was you know like his body was all fucked and like broken bones and stuff

he just hit his head on the concrete got up and went no that's all right made just an accident because it was such a low speed and then nina partner, this is the part where she's gone to pick him up. He's like, oh, I got hit by a car, but I'm fine. And she's like, oh, okay, I'll come get you. And they're driving along. And that's when the head injury starts to kick in. We didn't know that all this time there was like internal bleeding happening. And so he seems fine, but then eventually starts, you know,

slurring his words. It gets him. This is probably the most realistic. Yes. And then bear in mind that she was heavily pregnant too. Was this a finale maybe, a season finale? One, it's like towards the end. Yeah, okay.

I think the funeral was the finale, but yeah. All right, let's play it. Here it is. What happened? I wasn't looking. One minute I was up, the next thing I was down. Oh, you've grazed yourself. Oh, yeah. It's OK.

Well, where's the driver now? Oh, he was very apologetic. It's not a big deal. OK. Nothing weird as yet, right? It's when they're driving. Sorry to drag you away from the baby shower. Oh, that's right. I'm relieved, actually. It's nice to have a breather with you.

Aw. Hey. Now you're on maternity leave. I am now on maternity leave. Next stop, parenthood. Yeah. I can't wait. Me neither.

We can finally sort out the baby's room. And then there you'll be. Unless... Unless what? I don't know. Patrick? Patrick. Oh, dear. Say something. Count to ten.

Count to ten. Open your eyes. Patrick, just say something. Oh, shit, Patrick. Shit. Oh. Oh, God. Hang on.

Hang on. Hang on. So, she's at the hospital. Come in quick. Help. Help me. Help me. Someone help me. Someone help me.

Are you a neighbour? No, no, it's my partner. He's just hit his head and he's passed out. Oh, sorry. We'll look after him. Help. OK, so now this is when the doctor comes out to tell them how Patrick's doing. Oh. He had a subdural bleed in the meningeal layer

between the dural mater and the arachnoid. Oh, God. And it was very messy in there, and we worked to ease the pressure and to locate the source of the bleed and to suture the blood vessels. How is he? Can we go and see him? We weren't successful. What?

We did everything we could, but he didn't survive the procedure. Oh, dear. I'm so sorry. Oh. Oh. Is that what you do in a hallway? Is that allowed to be done? Maybe it is allowed to be done.

In a hallway? Well, you'd sit her down in a room. Right, so this is the part where they take her in to see the lifeless body for the last time before they switch off life support. Oh, God. It's very visual, so you're going to have to go watch it on Netflix. It's a very good series. Yeah.

It's called Offspring. Dallin, write it down. Okay. Start from season two. Season one's a bit shit. Yeah, I've heard that the final seasons get a bit weird too. No, they're great. Oh, really?

Yeah. Anyway. Sorry. Oh, so he's on life support. Yes. Yes. How are you doing? Yeah, good. Yeah.

You pull it out now. Yeah, perfectly fine. Where's the switch? I'll do it myself. Save you. Go get a cuppa. Just one more. She only gave her 30 seconds.

Oh, God. Imagine if that was a little Hayden. Oh. He'd be so upset. He'd be so mad. Wait, who's dying? a little Hayden. He'd be so upset. He'd be so mad. Wait, who's dying? You or Hayden? Most likely me.

Right, there we go. Jesus! Which one was your favourite? None! I think the horse carking it was probably the best. Okay, which one do you think was the best done? Oh, Offspring. She got a gold Logie for that, didn't she?

Yes, she did. Which is like an Oscar in this country. She got a gold logie for that, didn't she? Yes, she did. Which is like an Oscar in this country. She's kind of the only one that's still in the business. None of the others seem to really be with work at the moment. What are the Saddle Club people up to for starters? Look, I love that show. But the accents in the Saddle Club were all over the place. No, there's two Canadians.

All the rest are Australians. But are they American? I think from memory it was like some joint venture between Australia Saddle Club were all over the place. No, there's two Canadians. All the rest are Australians. But are they American? I think from memory it was like some joint venture between Australia and some Canadian production. So they're like, we've got to have some Canadians in there. But it just made no sense. And then the horse doctor was like, we've got to fix the horse. I'm like, British?

Yeah, it was weird. All over the shop. God. You know what? A show that wasn't on the list because it's American. Either of you have seen The Good Place? No. Oh, I hated it.

Really? Yeah, I got so sick of that show very quickly. Oh, well, in the end when, you know, everyone dies because they're in heaven. They're already dead, so no spoilers. It's really nice. It's a beautiful death. So if you want a happy death, Google The Good Place death. Well, that won't be making the top five.

No, definitely not. Join our Facebook group Enduring Idiots if you want to have it out with me and say, no, no, you missed a good one. Yeah, argue it out over there. What about you, Jen? Would you say those are the top five? I would definitely, definitely say those are the top five. I haven't seen any of those shows.

Except for Packed for the After. Except for Packed for the After, of course, but years ago. You know what? We should try and get Hugh Sheridan on and talk about that scene and see if he still remembers identifying Mel's body. I'm sure he would. He's not, like, old. He has a memory.

He hasn't got dementia. Oh, he's got to focus on marrying his husband. Not Mel on a metal tray. Let's get him on. Jenna knows his sister well. Alright, well, we're back next week for episode 60. Can you bloody believe? Our 60th. Can't wait, guys. We'll see you then. Yep, merch is out as well. Link in our bio.

Yes, don't forget it's game on, bitch. You've got to buy my stress ball so I win. Buy the tea towel. Yes, well, don't bother it's game on, bitch. You've got to buy my stress ball so I win. Don't buy the tea towel. Yes, well, don't bother. Go have a look. It's shit. It's all up to you and we'll see you next week. Goodbye.

Thank you, guys. Is it just me? Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review on your podcast app. Or follow on Spotify. Welcome to ADD Brief. This is our secret segment on the end. We keep it a secret because it's not really our best work, so it's kind of embarrassing.

I don't want anyone to hear this. Hopefully they just listen to the main bit and then piss off. But hey, if you're here, we're like a little club, aren't we? Mentally clock out as well. Yeah. We don't really pay much attention to what's going on. There's no script because everything else is fully scripted. Every word we say in the main show has been scripted and written out meticulously by beautiful Sam, who is away on location today.

He's not here for the episode. Makes it sound more professional. Away on location. He's on location. He's shooting a feature film. Yeah, right. Yeah. He's shooting one of the flubbers in Hawaii.

Flubber. New flubbers, yeah. This is a pattern, isn't it? Someone says, oh, yes, I'll help you produce the show. I'll come on board. I'll join the team. And then they, within a few episodes, they just piss off like Jenna. They're gone.

When Jenna used to never show up in the early days. I've got Zumba. I have to be out by six. Yes, I know. I did have Zumba. Have you been to Zumba since? No, I haven't. Well, we love having you. Sam as well. Did you notice last episode Sam was continuously buzzing into the show just to

prove that he was laughing? Oh my god, it was so funny. At one point he buzzed in just to laugh and I was like we didn't need that. It's soundproof so that we don't hear people out there. I'm pretty sure he's scared. You're like, what's that? Yeah, you were confused. I was like, what the fuck was that?

I thought it was something off your desk malfunctioning. I was like, what the fuck? It was just Sam laughing. Like, imagine. Can you turn these mics on? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got to go out. All right, you go out and laugh.

There's also such an aggressive button sound effect that comes with it. It's the button and then. Because it goes... Yeah. Ready? All right. Here we go. I'll say a joke.

I'll say a joke. Okay. Anyway, why the chicken cross the road? Why? To have some chicken parmigiana for dinner. That was good. Come back in. I want to see if my laugh will work out there because yours works.

What do you mean? Of course it'll work Do a really loud laugh Get back in here Do you know what He has said before Our Sam That he does not like ADD briefs So I don't think he'll hear this

So let's just do a little experiment Everyone listen out next week And see if he does it again He buzzes in just to laugh And it's like You can keep that to yourself Yeah we really don't need to know that Alright come back in here I didn't realise that you guys noticed as well I thought I was the only one and he buzzes in just to laugh. And it's like, you can keep that to yourself. Yeah, we really don't need to know that.

All right, come back in. I didn't realise that you guys noticed as well. I thought I was the only one that noticed. No, no, no, we noticed. I noticed as soon as you got that shock. Anyway, where were we? Mitch, come back in. Yeah, please. Yeah, I'm coming.

Your seat's getting cold. It's very cold, icy. He's not exactly warm at the best of days, is he? Quite used to it. That's a good one. That's a good one. That's a good one. No, Sam would do it like I hadn't even said the punchline and he'd laugh. It's like his finger was hovering over it.

I didn't notice that. No, it was very, very quick. I'm like, why did the chicken cross the road? Because I wanted to get to the other side. I'm like, wow, he's pre-empting the laugh. Maybe we can come up with a nickname off this, because I think that Pretty Sam is a bit, like, I feel like that's, like, not really appropriate in 2021 to, like, give people nicknames based off their appearance.

That's. It's very, it implies that he has no substance. What could we do? Cackling Sam. Cackling Sam works. No, yeah. Giggling Sam. Jenna. Google synonyms for laugh. Yeah, yeah, Giggling Sam. Jenna, Google synonyms for laugh.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tickle Pink Sam. Chortling Sam. Synonyms for laugh. Chortling Sam. No, I can barely say Pretty Sam. We've got Chuckle. Chuckling Sam's good.

Chortle. Chortle Sam. How. Howling Sam. It's not really a how. No, it's not. Snigger. Oh, my God,ortle, Sam. How. Howling, Sam. It's not really a how. No, it's not. Snigger. Oh, my God, Sniggering, Sam.

Actually, I get your concern there, Mitchell. You get rid of the S and it's a whole thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What else is there? We've got... Circle back. Jest. Oh, Jester, Sam.

Sam the Jester? No. Titter? No, Mitch has got a sponsorship deal with him. So, I want one that begins with S, but I'm not comfortable with saying snigger. Oh, I think it's okay. Snickering, Sam. Like a Snickers bar?

Yeah, like a Snicker. I always thought it was sniggering. No, there is snigger. Really? Yeah. Can we stop saying it? I think it's snickering. Jenna, Google it.

I thought it was snickering. What? Or is that when you just eat the Snickers? Okay. It's weird barking commands from the producers there. Jenna, Google it. I thought it was snickering. Or is that when you just eat the Snickers? Okay. It's weird barking commands from the producers. Jenna, Google it. She does it, though. It sounds more official when you do it from out there.

So the first one that I just brought up means laugh in a half-suppressed, typically sinful way. No, we don't want that. No, I'm saying the difference, right? And snicker. What about just cackling, Sam? I like that. Or just cackles.

Cackles. Pussyfoot Sam. Sorry, that's what Google just said. Synonyms. Oh, synonyms for sneak. It's all the same. It's pussyfoot. Imagine that.

Imagine someone robbing your house. You're calling the police. Why? Well, he said, someone was pussyfooting in my house. Hello, 911. I need the police. There's a pussyfooter in my house. Hello, 911. I need the police. There's a pussyfooter on the bottom floor. I can hear him walking.

Oh! Or instead of sneak out when you're a young girl, he's gone. Shenanigans. Instead of sneaking out. Now, no sneaking out of home, okay? I know you can drink alcohol, but no sneaking out. No, no pussyfooting out of the house. What about this one?

It comes up with funny woman. No, he's not a funny woman. I like cackling, Sam. Okay, what about words that rhyme with Sam? We can't do the thing where they both start with the same letter, so we're going to have to go with rhymes. Google words that rhyme with Sam. Pam, Tam.

Google, I said. That's so abrasive. Abrasive Sam isn't bad. Jam Sam. Oh, now I'm hungry. All right, while we think of Sam names. Sam. WSFM, time saver traffic.

Calpasta Road, heavy on the northbound. There's a milk spill on the F1. There's Bam, Cam, Cl, dam, dam, Sam. Diagram, diaphragm, histogram, kilogram. These are all stupid words. When do you... Oh, don't. That's not good.

It picked up the wheeze in my laugh. Persian lamb. Yum. Tinker's dam. I've been there. What the fuck are all these words? Traffic jam. Been there.

Bosom of Abraham. These aren't rhymes. They are. They rhyme with Sam. But that one is six syllables. We have a contraceptive diaphragm, Sam. Yeah, good one, contraceptive diaphragm, Sam. You did it.

We buzzed in to laugh. You did it! We buzzed in to laugh. Yeah, because you've obviously started laughing and you've thought, oh, I want to join in. So it starts a quarter of the way through. So it's not... It's... You missed the intro.

And because I'm facing away from the glass, every time we did it, I'd be like, God, I get a fright. It's like a jump scare in a Scream film. I didn't even see him go. Jump scare Sam. Jump scam Sam. I like contraceptive diaphragm Sam. He comes back after a week off.

Hi there, guys, I'm here. Oh, welcome back, producer Jen and Mitch. And Mitch, we're here in contraceptive diaphragm. See you. That's a good one. That is good. That is very, very good. We got there in the end with contraceptive diaphragm.

It's going to really work. Is that it? I reckon that's got to be it. Contraceptive diaphragm. It makes no sense, but that's why I love it. All right. How do we tell him? We don't.

There's a lot of lollies out there. Welcome back, contraceptive diaphragm Sam. He'll run with it too. He's a good producer. I don't know. He'll probably pull this up and be like, what the fuck is that about? He might think it's an insult. We're going to have to add that to the opener next season.

Jenna. Can you not chew lollies like that on mic? Please don't chew lollies on the mic. That's hard. That hurts my ears. Turn her down. Oh, look who's back where she started. Shut up.

Can I? That's actually how she started. A lot of moaning on the outside of the class. That's also how Sylvia died. Don't bring Sylvia into this. When was the last time, Mitch, you thought nor said, rip Sylvia? I really didn't get the whole Sylvia thing, but our listeners seem to care. Her name gets mentioned often in our Facebook group.

Yeah, people do care. I actually didn't give a fuck, to be honest. Oh, please, please respect. I was just shocked at, and we've never really discussed this, at Jenna's lack of communication. She didn't tell us. We had to go through her mother to find out. Yeah, your mum had to tell us that she died. Because it happened

a week or two before that. And you just didn't think to share that with her godparents? Because I was mourning. I was mourning and I was very upset and I was crying every time I talked about her. Two weeks is too long. As soon as Tissy fell off that cliff in that ute, her sister Cleo ran to the town to tell her family that Claire died. I've never met someone that just confidently guesses names they don't know.

Like, I always go, what's the name again? But you just go, Clem. No, it's Mark. Clem! Can I add an Uncle Jock? No, do it after you've already started laughing, ready? You know I had an Uncle Jock No do it after you've already started laughing You know I had an Uncle Jock Oh I'm getting a call

Who is it? Oh it's contraceptive diaphragm Sam Is it actually? No it's not Oh imagine if it was though Alright Jenna get back in here. Okay. Contraceptive diaphragm.

How'd you get that Abby Chatfield sweeper, guys? Mitch surprised me. I didn't know that was happening. You really don't pay much attention to what goes on in the show, do you? No. I knew it happened in the show. It aired. How did you get it from her?

You just DM'd her. No, no. She did it while she was here during the show. Get fucked. We did you get it from her? You just DM'd her. No, no. She did it while she was here, during the show. Get fucked. We were like, merch march is coming, guys. And I said, can we get a celeb liner from you, Abby? And she took like three takes because she was wine drunk. Oh, I don't remember that. We did it in the show. No, I don't remember it. Did she?

What? Don't remember it at all. Wow. Well, I'm back. Hi, Jenna. So glad you're back because we're going. Episode 60, next week. We did something for our 50th. Anything for our 60th or no?

I'll find it. Hold on. Turn that off. She was pissed, by the way. Turn that off. It's off. All right. Here we go.

Here we go. Hi, I'm Abby Chatfield. Hi, I'm Abby Chatfield. Hi, I'm Abby Chatfield, and I'm so excited for Merch March from Is It Just Me? I'm so excited specifically about the rush shirts. I cut that. Have a great day, guys. Again, it's Abby Chatfield, Queen of Jungle. Thank you.

The rush shirts. See? She was really milking that jungle thing. Yeah. Good for her. Yeah. I can't believe she did that without me even realising. I know.

And I was talking back to her. I'm like, great day, Kami. That's the best time promo we've ever got. Did we get her drunk? Because she also brought champagne that we popped last week. Yeah, I know. She had like three glasses and that's fine for me. But apparently she can't handle that.

Jesus. Guys, thank you for listening this long. We really should stress the merch is out now and we will make what you buy. So there's no pressure, but buy one of everything. Absolutely. But don't buy any tea towels. Instead, use that money to get extra stress balls

because you might lose one. You've got to get one for the car. You've got to get one for your desk drawer. You've got to get one for your backpack. One for your bedside table. Get a lot of stress balls so I sell more. That's how my Alma's got to 83. Toilet stress ball. Kitchen stress ball. Stress ball stress ball.

Does your Alma have ADHD? No, but she loves a stress ball. Why are you promoting his product? Because guess what? When you know how good yours is, you don't need to shit on the competition. Because a tea towel is versatile. I feel like we're going to leave here tonight. Mitch is going to get on the radio being like, please, please buy my tea towel. He's going to be using all his platforms that he has available.

That's not true. Me forward announcing a song. Go on. It's Kiss Nights. Mitch Till Midnight. A on. It's Kiss Night. It's Mid-Till Midnight. Ava Mac's on the show tonight. If you need to mop up tonight, I don't know, it's a Wednesday, buy a tea towel, Lincoln, buy a...

How is it that I can always hit the post, yet I can't even remember the name of that dead horse? Cobalt. Cobalt. Cobalt. Do you always manage to hit the post? I feel like it would be hard. I hit the post every night.

It's my one job to hit the post. It's also fun. It's stressful. We've run out of time. Let's do a challenge next week and we'll just play you songs that you've never heard. You've just got to feel it in your aura. Oh, I think I'd be good at that. And be like, when are they going to start singing?

No, when the post starts. Yeah. All right. The post challenge. Because it's like a radio crime to talk over the singer, right? Of course it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You never crash the vocals.

Okay, this is fun. Just thought of crashing the car with Mel again. All right. Let's go. We're back next week, guys. Episode 60. We've got a challenge set up. That'll be fun.

So we'll see you next week for that. Great. We'll catch you then, guys. See ya. See ya. Bye. Bye. Bye.
