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 Pike's nurseries.
What nursery?
Pike's. 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.
Oh, yes it is.
Hello, everyone.
Hi, guys.
Welcome to episode 69.
Oh, my God.
Can you believe it?
We've made it this far.
I know.
I hate 69s.
Let's just be real.
It's nobody's go-to.
As in the sexual move 69? Yeah, and the number. It just puts me off. You've done the 69s. Let's just be real. It's nobody's go-to. As in the sexual move 69?
Yeah, and the number.
It just puts me off.
You've done the 69s, have you?
Yeah, back in the heyday, I was 69ing all the time.
Oh, God, yeah.
I've never done it, but I don't... I'm in no rush, put it that way.
It's easy for the lazy man.
You just sort of have to lie down on your side.
Yeah, but I feel like it's multitasking to the extreme.
It's like you can't pay attention to pleasuring your lover
whilst you're also enjoying yourself.
Yeah, it's also sensory overload.
There's a lot going on.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
There's actually one of our colleagues that works in the newsroom.
She loves a good 69 and her and her partner go for hours at a time.
I'd get so bored.
I'd get so distracted.
It's not, it doesn't sound appealing to me.
Tipper's one stone, I guess. I mean,
it's sort of, you know. No, I'd
rather be the centre of attention for a while
and then I'll make you the centre of attention
and then we go about our days. Well, that's
all the sex talk you're getting this episode, you dirty
mongrels. What is this sex music supposed
to be?
Sounds like an elevator. Sounds like Westpac waiting music.
It does, actually. Val, I'll fit in the check and we'll be with you in a second. Sounds like Westpac waiting music. It does actually.
They'll fit in the check and we'll be with you in a second.
No, we need 350s.
Our third wheel, Prize Keeper Jenna is here as always. Jenna, are you a fan of a 69?
No, I'm not quite a fan.
No, but funnily we mentioned the number because Jenna, you have been born on 1949, 69 and
89.
Yes.
But today we are celebrating your birthday born in this lifetime.
Happy birthday, Jenna.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
I bet you thought we forgot again.
Yeah, I did.
We will never forget you.
This is, of course.
Yes.
The soundtrack that you perished to.
You were here.
Yeah.
You were in the band, the Marching Brigade. Yep, the percussion group. The percussion that you would perish to, you were here. Yep. You were in the band, the marching brigade.
Yep, the percussion group.
The percussion group, yeah.
Now we've got a few presents for you, Jenna.
Thank you.
Here we go.
I've got you some cupcakes, obviously.
As I always say, not that this is a hint,
it's not a birthday without some cake.
Agreed.
Yes, true.
And these are the ones Mitch got me for my birthday.
They're very good.
I love Cupcake Factory.
We've got a few gifts for you, Jenna.
Here's one of them.
Here you go.
Don't forget to read it out loud because this is a podcast.
Read it out.
Free learner's driver's lessons.
Yes, it's a voucher for learner driver instructors.
Really?
Because it's about fucking time.
This is really.
You got your license.
Yeah, you are 127.
You should learn to drive.
Yeah.
So am I really getting lessons?
Yes.
Guess who your instructors are.
Really?
Us.
It's us.
Okay.
So sometime soon on the show, we're going to take you out for a drive and record the
whole thing.
Okay. You've been slacking off. Mitch and I are both fully licensed drivers. We can supervise you. Sometime soon on the show, we're going to take you out for a drive and record the whole thing.
You've been slacking off.
Mitch and I are both fully licensed drivers.
We can supervise you. We can teach you how to drive legally.
I've got one point, but that's beside the point.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I've also gone to my contacts in Los Angeles.
As you know, I've got a little black book and I'm in and out.
And I reached out to my friends at Universal Music
who knew people at Universal
Pictures. And I
got them to talk to one of their contacts
who is PA
of Miss Brie Larson. Your favourite
actress. So we've got you a signed
copy of
Brie Larson's
debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
It's a signed DVD with
Brie Larson. It's a signed Brie Larson Captain Marvel.
Actually, it's not Blu-ray.
We couldn't get that.
We can't afford it.
I'm crying.
Do you even have a DVD player?
No, but it's her signature.
She's crying.
Yeah.
Hold it up.
I can't believe that means so much to you, Jenny.
You're crying.
She's sobbing like a baby and on her birthday too.
Yeah, sorry.
The plan was to do it at the end of the show, but
we couldn't
on your birthday.
That
contraceptive diaphragm, Sam, did that scribble.
Yeah, he practiced on a post-it note.
It looks like her signature. Yeah, we googled it
and he traced it. It's her signature.
I feel terrible. This was your fucking idea, Mitchell. No, it wasn't! It he traced it. It's her signature. I feel terrible.
This was your fucking idea, Mitchell.
No, it wasn't.
It was.
Mitch looked at me because we were going to do it at the very end of the show,
play the sting, but she got so excited.
I was like, shit, you've got to tell an hour.
I did reach out to my contacts and they replied, who are you?
So I did try.
Anyway, you've got the DVD still.
Yes, thank you for the DVD.
Although if you tell people in your Brie Larson fan group chat,
they're not going to deny it.
It's a pretty convincing scribble.
You also have the DVD, so we bought you that.
Yes.
One last gift, Jenna.
And I love Captain Marvel, so.
One last gift to lighten things up a bit.
I'm so sorry about that cruel prank.
Here's your last present.
Yay.
Lucky lasts.
Let's see.
Very convincing signature.
What?
What for?
Enjoy.
First response.
Early result in-stream pregnancy test.
Happy birthday, Jenna.
Anyway, what's going on on the show?
We're doing another Idjim Top 5 today.
It's actually a follow-up to last week.
We had so many people DM and message us after our list
of the best TV series intro songs
of all time. What's this for? Oh my god, we got bombarded
with messages from listeners who were like, you're all
wrong. Apparently our top five TV show
theme songs. I'm confused. Not a lot of people
agreed, so we're doing a follow-up with listener suggestions.
These aren't ours. Okay, just quickly.
What's, why? You never know
when you need a pregnancy test.
Good to have.
That's really lovely.
Put it in the glove box of the car that you're going to get after the lesson.
Okay.
So we have people sending voice messages, really.
Yep.
And contraceptive diaphragm Sam will be decoding, or judging, I should say.
Yeah.
And he's actually able to bump our top five down.
So it's now a top ten.
So if one of the new suggestions is better than ours they can bump
them down the rank the other people's podcast that's what they say who says that i just heard
it on another show and i really like the branding contraceptive diaphragm sam is he hello hi hello
jenna was so upset with the signature so much we also sam's been in the bathroom we pinned it on
you we said it was your idea yeah no no it definitely was he'll claim it uh if it's your
first time listening,
hello and welcome.
Episode 69 of Is It Just Me?
We're a couple of Mitches.
If it's your first time listening,
we start the show the same way every week with something we've noticed,
something we hate or appreciate.
It's an Is It Just Me?
The core of the show.
I don't know Mitch's.
Mitch doesn't know mine.
And mine, I think I'll go first
because it's top of mind.
Yep, go for it.
I was in the car this morning
and I've been really into
true crime podcasts of late.
Oh, okay. I've hooked on them because I've seen the car this morning and I've been really into true crime podcasts of late. Oh, okay.
Like hooked on them because I've seen them on TikTok
and then I like write them down and then I go listen
and I do so much driving that it has inspired my idjim for the week.
So if you don't mind, this episode 69, Jenna's birthday,
I'd like to begin.
Is it just me or...
Have you ever wondered what our podcast would sound like if it weren't in the improv slash comedy category?
Well, like if we were serious journalists or whatever.
Yeah.
Because there's so many different genres of podcasts.
And I'm doing a lot of driving at the moment, like I said.
And I've just been listening to a wide array of shows.
And I thought, what would this.
Because we don't really have a category.
We're in improv, right?
Yeah, that's a category, though.
Is it?
Yeah.
We make this shit up every week, so it's pretty improv.
Is there an improv chart?
Yeah, we're in the top five every week.
Get fucked.
Oh, there you go.
Well, I was wondering, what would we sound like if we were, say,
I don't know, a true crime podcast?
Okay, I love true crime podcasts.
I listen to so many true crime podcasts.
Oh, I'm addicted true
crime is like scripted word for word yeah god i would wouldn't that be so tedious to put together
like a one hour documentary i mean like podcasts like case file and stuff go for two hours and
sometimes they're two-parted and they have credits at the end yes okay so what are you thinking we'd
sound like i don't know okay so i've got the music. I'm just going to riff.
And I think this is,
I think this is what our podcast would sound like for a true crime.
Two gay men.
A 3000 year old woman.
This is,
is it just me?
A show for young misfits. Produced by Contraceptive Diaphragm Sound.
Jenna B. Benson.
Exclusively for the iHeartRadio Network.
Good timing.
Episode 69.
It's just, that's the rhythm.
Yeah, it is.
And I've got to say, I tried to get on board that.
Remember when Teacher's Pet, that podcast, was really big?
Oh, yes.
Great.
I lost interest to halfway through the series because I find it so hard to keep up with
that sort of content.
Yeah.
Soft soil.
It's not for me.
Soft soil.
It's like where they're talking at you rather than with you.
Yeah.
Not into it.
What about if we were a news podcast?
Tonight on Is It Just Me, the top five TV show theme songs.
Will this theme song make the cut?
Also in sport, Jenna.
In sport.
Oh, sorry.
Some technical difficulties.
There's always a very long fade out like this.
Well, you are listening around to different styles of podcasts.
I'm listening to many.
I love a good self-help.
Hello and welcome to Is It Just Me?
Here we guide you through the turmoil
and the hardships of young adulthood.
We laugh, we even cry,
as we share in each other's joy and sadness.
I'm your host, Mitchell Coombs.
And I'm Mitchell Turey and this is Is It Just Me?
Periods. We all have them. How is that self-help. That's horrendous.
What about this?
G'day, boys.
Happy birthday, Jenna, you big dog.
Thank you.
Boy, Jenna, you're going to get thrashed today to celebrate, huh?
Of course.
Yes.
Today we're talking.
Go.
Oh, you let a big one rip.
Just like Timmy the other day training. Far out, reckon he's a poof dog
Anyway
I think we should stick to improv
Yeah I'm liking where we're at now
I think this is where we belong
So do I, alright
You're ready Jim?
Yeah let's do it
Is it just me or
Do you love a good empty phrase?
Elaborate.
Like when you say something that just means absolutely nothing.
It's something I notice a lot of people in the country do.
Right.
And it wasn't until last night that I realised that I'm now guilty of it.
I've carried it with me.
You know, you can take the boy out of the country.
Right.
So I was at this thing with a bunch of TikTok influencers. influencers and because it's fashion week there were all these beauty vloggers
and stuff oh and don't get me wrong they were all lovely yes chatted to all of them they were lovely
but let's not pretend we have anything in common and so i found myself falling back on a lot of
empty phrases that i've clearly picked up from all the farmers i was raised around this is great
okay so one of them would be whinging to you about,
oh, my brand deal with Ramalanda and blah, blah, blah.
And I'd just be like, nah, well, that's just how it goes, I suppose.
That is good.
I've never used so many words to say absolutely nothing.
Yeah, nothing was conveyed.
I just kept falling back on those fucking empty phrases.
I was like, yeah, nah, that's it.
My favourite is, yeah, yeah, well, you win some, you lose some.
Yeah, nah, who knows?
Who knows?
Things happen for a reason.
Yeah, they do, yeah.
Yeah, what do you do?
Who knows?
It sucks.
One of my favourite ones, and this is a good one to use,
if anyone's ever prying into your business and you just want to shut it down and tell them to butt out,
you just go, oh, it's a whole thing.
That is good.
Which to me, that's actually, that's all I need to know.
That basically tells you it's a long story and it will probably bore you.
So if someone says to me, oh, it's a whole thing, I go,
run to that, I don't care.
Yeah, that's good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There we go.
What can you do?
Yeah, that's it. I love, you know, it happens to the best of us. Yeah. Yeah. There we go. What can you do? Yeah, that's it.
I love, you know, it happens to the best of us.
Yeah, no.
Which is also complimenting them, insinuating that you are one of the best.
Too right.
Too right.
Too right.
You're not wrong there.
Hold on.
What was the first one you said?
That's how it goes, I suppose.
Okay, I'm going to tell you a positive and a negative and let's see if they work.
Ready?
Oh, sorry.
I was like, my grand my, my grand past.
Yeah.
It's a bit like that sometimes.
Grand dying.
Yeah.
What about something really positive?
Yeah.
And then I was so shocked that Lukey got on his knee and he proposed to me in Santorini.
Oh yeah.
Well, who knows?
You know, what do you do?
Who knows?
Who knows?
Those ones, those ones kind of prove I'm not really listening.
Yeah, I think so.
Is it just me?

So does KataraRose19, hands down the best
Okay, this podcast is literally my favourite and the best one around.
My mental health has been a bit meh lately and my go-to activity that makes me feel even just that little bit better is listening to this podcast.
It's seriously like being in a room with maids and I feel like we all need that vibe and energy just to get us through the times.
Bless these quirky souls and their fabulous content.
Much love to you all.
Thanks, darling.
What was her name again?
KataraRose. KataraRose. Thank you. That's beautiful. Much love to you all. Thanks, darling. What was her name again? Katara Rose.
Katara Rose. Thank you. That's beautiful.
Katara Rose, 19. Does that mean she was born in 2019?
Sorry. What's wrong?
I'm really struggling to talk today. I've got
nicotine gum in. Oh, Jenna, are you
across this new development? No, I don't know what's going on.
Oh, it's disgusting. What is it? Please explain.
Oh, spit it out!
The vaping's gotten a bit out of hand. I knew it? Please explain. Oh, spit it out! The vaping's gotten
a bit out of hand.
I'm trying to quit. He's on nicotine
gum. Yeah, by the way, I didn't
know this, but you don't chew
nicotine gum. What?
You put it in your mouth, chew it a couple of times, and then you
just sit it on your gums, like, you know,
behind your teeth. Oh, like it bleeds in?
Yeah, and so that's why I coughed this thing,
because it slipped down the back of my throat.
I remember my maths teacher in year nine
was addicted to nicotine gum.
Who was?
Which is possibly a better addiction than vaping or smoking.
Yes.
Tell everyone what your doctor said to you,
what their advice was.
Oh, my God.
I went to a GP this morning for something completely unrelated.
But I said to her while I was there,
hey, by the way, what would be your advice to
someone who doesn't want to become a nicotine addict but is probably on the borderline because
i've just been vaping it's the first thing i do when i wake up and the last thing i do when i go
to bed it's gotten way too much and so she goes just for context she's like rough like i couldn't
believe she was a gp she looked like dot wigginsins. No, more like a Sherrilyn Barnes, like a Captain Kim character.
She looks like, I don't know, Dawn French when she's 100.
Yes.
And so she was a bit of a house-o-looking lady.
And I said to her, what would your advice be to, like,
not get hooked on nicotine?
And she goes, put your smokes outside.
People don't like going out in the cold to smoke in winter.
Isn't that ridiculous?
And I was like, okay, not cigarettes, vapes.
And she goes, nah, well, get a flavour that you don't like.
That'll be an incentive not to smoke.
I was like, did you go to fucking uni for this?
And then she goes, or you can try a nicotine gum.
I was like, great.
I'll do that.
That's just advice.
That's not medical.
No, no.
Put them outside.
Quick question.
Does the gum have a flavour?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it just tastes like normal mint gum, which is why it's weird that I'm not allowed to chew it. It. Put them outside. Quick question. Does the gum have a flavour? Oh, yeah.
It just tastes like normal mint gum, which is why it's weird that I'm not allowed to chew it. It's just sitting there.
Are the cravings being hit? Yeah, actually
I don't feel like a vape at all. That's working good.
Also, what is a flavour you don't like?
A vape? I don't know. I have seen
on one website there was jungle juice flavoured
vape and I'm like, that is disgusting.
No! Can you imagine
inhaling amyl? You'd be walking around all day with a loose butth disgusting. No! Can you imagine inhaling amyl?
You'd be walking around all day with a loose butthole.
No, thank you!
Maybe I should get one.
Take the doctor's advice.
Alright, are we ready for the updated, revised IJM Top 5?
Yes, we are.
IJM Top 5.
So if you were listening last week, we did a Top 5 TV show theme songs of all time.
Yes. And never before in the history of this podcast
have we gotten such an enormous amount of feedback.
People did not agree with our picks.
Oh, my God.
Our secret Facebook group that's not really that so secret
in True Idiots was flooded with requests.
And we should do a quick reminder that this was number one.
SVU.
Oh.
Contraceptive diaphragm, Sam, you're going to have to come back in here.
We need you again.
I stand by quite firmly what I chose.
Just get in here, okay?
Well, what we're doing is we've turned it from an IJM top five to an IJM top ten.
We've got five suggestions from listeners.
And if one of them does actually surpass the quality of the ones we've got
up there already, we will be bumped down.
They'll be bumped down.
So, like, for example, Kath and Kim is now in fourth place.
It could end up in tenth or something.
So, we've got Law and Order in first, followed by Game of Thrones, 30 Rock, Kath and Kim,
and McLeod's Daughters.
And they were your rankings, Sam.
Yeah.
Based off what we put forward.
Sam is in full control.
And I have to admit, if I do have the off what we put forward. Sam is in full control.
And I have to admit, if I do have the chance to put McLeod's daughters a little bit further down, I think it's going to happen. It's my birthday and you're making it worse.
First you do the Brie Larson thing.
Yeah, be nice to Jenna.
Yeah, that was all you, Sam.
That's so me.
You know what?
We actually thought that it was real.
We didn't know.
Until Sam texted us and said it's fake.
All right, this first suggestion comes from an old friend of the show.
Oh, hi, Darls.
Yeah, good, thanks.
Listen, it's Jenny here from TikTok,
and I've got a little bit of a boof about your top five theme songs
from last week.
And, listen, I'm just a little bit upset that you had the audacity
to leave MASH off your list.
Now, to your listeners now who are going, oh, what's MASH?
Don't, just don't.
No, Google it.
Google it, YouTube, and listen to that theme song and tell me it's not the fucking best one ever.
Wow, I just picture her behind a kitchen table whenever she speaks now.
It's a pretty solid suggestion, though.
It's a very, I've never watched the show, but the theme song, I do like it.
It's very melancholy.
Have a listen.
Yeah, see, it does make me feel a bit nostalgic,
even though I've never watched the show.
It's always on in the background, like mum and dad would watch it.
I think it was on after school.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's right.
Yeah.
She knows this is a podcast for young people.
This is doing nothing for me.
Oh, no, it's good.
Well, what do you think, Sam?
I feel like it's the most 1970s thing that has ever been written.
Well, look, can I tell you, I've always liked the theme song,
but last week, Mitch, I was doing our Sunday night Instagram Live without you.
Yes, I was on location, yeah.
And once again, we got hammered with comments about TV show theme songs
that should have been on the list without even listening to our list.
And one person pointed out that the MASH theme song
originally has lyrics to it and there's quite a dark meaning behind it.
So this kind of changed the song for me.
The actual song is called Suicide is Painless.
Oh, my God.
Really?
That's not good.
How the song came about was originally MASH was a movie, right?
And then they turned it into a TV series.
But in the movie version, one of the characters was saying that he's feeling a bit suey and
everyone around him was saying, oh, you're just bunging it on.
And so as a joke, they threw him a last supper and they all sang Suicide is Painless to him.
Oh my God.
Great party.
And so when they ended up turning MASH into a TV show,
they liked the song but they were like, oh, the lyrics are a bit dark
so we'll just keep the instrumental.
But this was the original.
Oh, my God.
I realise and I can see
That suicide is painless
I don't like it.
No.
It brings on many changes
No, that's not good at all.
No.
And I can take or leave it
If I please
131114 is Lifeline, by the way.
Yeah, so bear that in mind, Sam.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Don't tell us your rating yet.
All right, okay, all right.
We have another suggestion coming in Is that right?
Yes
So this one comes from Emily
Hey guys
It's Emily from Merbot
And the best TV theme song of all time is
Doctor Who
Yes
Pretty good
Oh see
Immediately
This has got me in the feels
Tuesdays on ABC when I was a kid.
Yeah.
You're British.
I've never seen this, so I don't know.
Here's the good thing.
Oh, yeah.
This is another one where I never watched the show,
but you can't deny it's a good fucking theme song.
It's a good theme song, but like Jenna,
I don't have any emotional connections. I've never seen it. Remember, we're fucking theme song. It's a good theme song, but like Jenna, I don't have any emotional connections.
I've never seen it.
Remember, we're removing sentimental attachments.
It's the song.
Okay, let's go back up.
Go back up.
It's fucking long.
Yeah, it is a bit.
I think this is the extended version.
You're welcome to cut it off at any point.
We'll just fade it down.
The thing that gets me about Doctor Who is that there's quite like you,
you've got many Doctors.
There's just so many.
And it's like they've always cast new Doctors.
And some of them are better than others.
Yeah.
And also there's no women, is that right?
Yeah, isn't the recent one female?
Yeah, there was a recent female Doctor Who.
So the idea is that he's supposed to be this one character
that keeps transforming over time.
So he's just had a sex change.
Oh, good for him.
I mean, sure.
Good for them.
All right, well, that's it, Doctor Who.
The next one, Jenna, you're going to love this.
This person's actually backing you up.
Oh, my gosh.
Hey, guys, it's Maddie from Brisbane,
and I can't believe you guys just left Jenna hanging like that.
The best TV show theme song is 100% the ER theme song.
Yes!
Thank you!
You know, after this last week, right, I was so depressed about it,
I googled ER best theme song of all time,
and there were other people who agreed with me.
There were a lot of articles.
Oh, it's very 80s.
Can you just all shut up?
And it wasn't even made in the 80s.
That's an issue then, isn't it?
It feels like the main menu music on a fighting PlayStation game.
No, just stop.
Here, it gets better here.
Does it?
It sounds like Christmas Day, you've just got Wii Sports.
Yeah.
Or Tekken.
Tekken.
See, it doesn't really go anywhere.
It doesn't build.
That's terrible.
It's not.
Please. I've never even watched the show, but that't really go anywhere. It doesn't build. That's terrible. It's not. Please.
I've never even watched the show, but that opener is very good.
None of these have got me so far, to be honest.
None.
I think the first two were solid theme songs,
even though I didn't watch the show.
But we've got two more to go, don't forget.
Here you are.
This next one comes from Ali.
G'day, guys.
It's Ali from Wollongong here.
Just following up from my written formal complaint
and trying to decipher whose decision it could have possibly been
to not include the Lizzie McGuire theme song
into your so-called top five list.
I would argue it was an integral part of all our childhoods.
No, I agree.
And to say I'm disappointed is a severe understatement.
Right.
Please do better in future.
Absolutely.
Someone was a third speaker in high school.
This is it.
Oh, see, this is great.
Yeah, I like this.
We've got a picture perfect plan.
We've got a picture perfect plan We've got the rules
Cause we only do the best we can
And sometimes we make it
And sometimes we fake it
It's just so Disney, I can't
The big balloons
Once they're close to each and every day We'll figure it out on the way The big bloopers Oh see that's
Right
I hope Lizzie fucked Gordo in the end
Oh no they did
Absolutely
What about how they cancelled
The Lizzie McGuire remake
Because
What's her name again
Hilary Duff
Was arguing with the directors
About whether Lizzie
As a character
Is allowed to be a filthy bitch
She goes I'm 30 I'm probably riding Every dick in New York And they're like And Hilary Duff was arguing with the directors about whether Lizzie as a character is allowed to be a filthy bitch.
She goes, I'm 30.
I'm probably riding every dick in New York.
Because they wanted it to be.
No, we're Disney.
Yeah, they wanted it to be Disney.
And she's like, no, Lizzie is not Disney anymore.
Yeah, and they got rid of that Love, Simon spin off because they were like, gay?
No, thank you.
Well, it's just nice to know that Hilary Duff intends for Lizzie McGuire to be a skank. So we can all rest easy knowing that.
Love that.
And one last suggestion from Rebecca.
Hey, guys.
It's Rebecca from Bunbury.
I reckon the best TV theme song ever would have to be the Pokemon theme song.
Good one.
Good one.
Yes.
I can't believe I never thought of this myself.
This is brilliant.
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
I want to be the very
best like no one
ever was.
To catch them is
my real test. To train
them is my cause.
Oh, there's
a second verse.
So quiet.
Bam, bam, bam, bam.
To understand the power that's inside. So quiet.
On the late dinner. On the late dinner.
Yeah, she's it. Pokemon. Gotta catch em all.
Our hearts hold true.
Our courage will follow through.
You teach me and I'll teach you.
Pokemon.
Gotta catch em all.
Pokemon.
Wow.
That does slap, I won't lie.
It's so strong.
That is a good one.
It's for every gender.
I also feel that the team rock it, just their little intro whenever they rock up in a scene.
Yeah.
That's pretty iconic, even though it's not a theme song.
James just died, like, the last couple weeks.
What?
Oh, what?
The actor that plays James, yeah.
He's animated.
No.
No, the voice actor.
Oh, really?
Yeah, like what, the pencil snapped when they were drawing him?
They can't draw him again?
Also, James was so gay.
Yeah.
Yes.
They were Sharpay and Ryan before Sharpay and Ryan.
Were they brother and sister?
Was that meant to be the bit?
Yeah.
Or just fag-hagging?
No, I'm pretty sure they were brother and sister.
I'm not sure.
Jessie and James.
I always thought they were fucking.
Well, she was pegging him.
I also shipped Brock and Misty Hart.
Yeah.
Brock was hot. Ash was cute, too. So I was like, Pikachu, I'd do Pikachu also shipped Brock and Misty Hart. Yeah. Brock was hot.
Ash was cute too.
So I was playing Pikachu.
I'd do Pikachu.
Oh, he's 10.
Huh?
He's 10.
Pikachu?
No, Ash.
Oh, not anymore.
He's about 50.
Yeah.
I think Jigglypuff's a Jigglypuff.
I was going to say.
No.
Jigglypuff.
Jigglypuff.
Jiggly.
Jigglypuff.
Oh, did you do the voice for that?
Do you remember?
Do you remember?
Dito. Who was you remember? Dito.
Who was that one?
Dito.
Remember Diglett?
They just looked like a poo coming out of a butthole.
And then there was like Dig Trio.
There were three of them.
I'm like, me after a coffee.
Charizard, Charmander.
Oh, it's all flooding back.
Charmander.
Anyway, where do these sit, Sam?
Right, okay.
We're here.
If you even think about moving Law and Order...
Look, it's such a difficult thing
because not only do I have to decide
between these absolute masterpieces...
And you're holding ER while you say that.
Yes, I agree.
Okay, well, that can just go.
He's got the TV logos.
He's going to slap them on the whiteboard.
Yeah.
I think the first thing that has to happen...
No, don't you dare move that.
Because of how strong the lineup has become.
Don't you dare.
I will be removing Law and Order from number one.
Oh, wow.
Oh, that is.
If you do that, it'll be the last thing you do.
Oh, what a threat.
And also replacing it at number two because that is where it deserves to be.
So we have a new number one.
Imagine if we just had a real change of heart about Captain Kim.
Put that in number one.
Now, Game of Thrones, I still have in my hand,
and that's going to have to go down at number eight.
What?
Jesus!
How did it go from two to eight?
Because I've had time to think about it.
Bullshit.
We actually had people in our Facebook group saying that they skipped that section of the
podcast because they were like, meh.
Bullshit.
No.
They did.
Just because you're re-watching it doesn't mean that you're not.
Yeah, very true.
And I'm kind of over it.
I'm not.
It plateaus.
Number three, unfortunately, 30 Rock also has to take a few steps down the ladder.
So you're-
Purely just because, again, we've had some real bangers.
Sam, you're just discrediting your own work.
30 Rock now at number six.
No, he's discovered new evidence.
And an important thing that just has to happen
because it really needs to just plummet.
Yeah, we get it. You don't like McLeod stories.
Diane, I was going.
You know, it's my birthday.
And if Jenna hadn't suffered enough today.
Yeah, well, number 10 is where it sits.
Fair, fair, fair.
Rebecca Lavelli would be furious.
Which also means that, naturally, at number nine, E.R.
Jenna's two favourites are at the bottom.
Not a good day to be Jenna.
Look, it just sounds like a VHS that we all were forced to watch in science
that they've had since 1992.
I agree.
Oh, it does, doesn't it?
It really does.
You know when it kind of, of like is slow to start up,
so it goes...
Like the sound needs a couple seconds to warm up.
None of you have any taste.
Which leaves me now with another terrible choice.
Kath and Kim is actually overall,
in the grand scheme of things, going up.
Really?
What?
How?
By going to number seven.
Going from three to seven is not going up, Clown. No, but in the grand scheme of things, going up. Really? What? How? Oh, that's bullshit. By going to number seven. Going from three to seven is not going up, Clown.
No, but in the grand scheme of things, it's higher up in scale with the extra ones.
It's less close to the bottom.
I get what you're saying.
You're disgusting.
Well, I know that, but...
So, I've run out of blue tack.
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
Just lick it.
No, but there were dots, so just grab a dot off one of the others.
Oh.
Me?
No.
No dot.
I have in my hand Lizzie McGuire.
Oh, put it down.
She's underage.
Not anymore, according to this thing.
No, yeah, true.
She'd fuck Sam.
Oh, my God, Sam would totally be cast in, like, The Bad Boy.
Yeah.
He'd be the one that lives above her because they're on the beach in Venice in LA. Yeah and he lives above and surfs every day doesn't have a job has that hair and she rides him every night yeah but the thing is that i i keep saying to her all the time you know gordo
i he seems like such a good friend and i don't know maybe he has feelings for you oh so you're
a good guy but you really want to stab one up her, obviously. Oh, no, I have repeatedly. Oh, you'd also top Godot.
Yeah.
Okay, where's she going?
Sorry, sorry.
Number three, number three is Lizzie McGuire.
Wow.
Three.
That's a good, no, I back that.
Oh, don't be ridiculous.
Oh.
It really hurts me as well.
And this proves that I'm being completely objective here because Doctor Who, my childhood
obsession, is sitting at number four.
Ten.
Wow.
Okay, so we're down
to the last two.
So currently we have
number ten.
This is going in reverse.
Number ten.
Oh, shit.
You know what I forgot about?
What?
MASH.
Oh.
Oh, Christ.
Does this change everything?
It changes everything.
Does that mean everything
gets bumped up?
Yeah, everything gets bumped up.
Okay.
Can't believe.
A suicide song is above
ER and Cloud's daughters. And you know what? That's where it belongs. Okay, we suicide song is above ER and Cloud's Daughters.
And you know what?
That's where it belongs.
Okay.
We ready for this?
On my birthday.
Now, those of you who have been keeping up with this complete mess may have discovered
that sitting now at number one is the Pokemon theme song.
Wow.
Wow.
Fair.
Fair.
I don't think it belongs there over Law and Order.
What?
No. Does that mean this is our current final list?
We've got number 10, McLeod's Daughters.
Number 9, ER.
Number 8, MASH.
7, Kath and Kim.
6, Game of Thrones.
5, 30 Rock.
4, Doctor Who.
3, Lizzie McGuire.
2, Law and Order.
And number 1, Pokemon.
Locked in?
I think so.
Ah, there we go. That was your cue to play Pokemon, that it's okay. Oh, so one, Pokemon. Locked in? I think so. Ah, there we go.
That was your cue to play Pokemon, that it's okay.
Oh, so sorry, everybody.
That's my cue to play.
Oh, that guitar.
Wow.
Just so much power.
And the vocals.
No, I do agree.
It's good.
Hang on.
Can I treat this like the court of law?
Yeah.
And I'm going to appeal.
Listen to SVU one more time just to make sure it's not the number one.
Okay.
Because I think you're making a dumb decision.
Oh, look, it's already lost.
Fuck you.
Billy!
It's Pokemon.
That's Pokemon.
Yeah.
No, it's that immediate, immediate guitar and the drums.
You couldn't go past that.
No amount of oboe.
I'll play Devil's Advocate.
What about?
Yes.
Yes, please.
Come on.
It'll take some time to find your heart and come back home.
You could walk for miles across every river And find you're not alone
Cos I'll be there
I'll be there
Then when you balance it out with this, Sam
You've got this beating it
Oh, don't
Yeah, did any of us sing along to this?
It doesn't have any lyrics, so no.
It's a medical drama.
Oh, well, shit.
Okay.
All right.
Because it's your birthday.
Move them up.
Well, that's something.
Move them above the match.
That's some closure.
Move it above Suicide Song.
Oh, you know what?
I feel like it does deserve to go above the Suicide Song.
Thank you.
Okay, wow.
I feel like you're easily persuaded.
You need to lock this in.
Excuse me.
You know this number two is still there?
Guys, I wish you could see.
No, no.
Move E-R-R.
There we go.
It's settled.
So number one, Pokemon.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Now, if you're going to send in suggestions, don't.
I'm not interested.
No.
I don't want any more appeals.
Oh, why didn't you put on
fucking goosebumps? Because it's shit.
This could go
on forever. It's very subjective, guys.
It could just become our podcast. Also, we're an entertainment
show. We don't really give a fuck.
I do. Oh, I do, but I'm not
losing sleep over it. No, but also
if any of you like the ER
theme song, please support me. Just message
Jenna. I feel like, Sam, you should lose sleep over this
because I've learnt a thing or two about maiming
and attacking victims from watching SVU.
So you watch your back, bitch.
I will get revenge for this.
I was watching you the other night and they've gotten so savvy.
You know when they're cold open?
So it's the scene before they play the very dramatic...
And it was a little girl sitting on the couch
and she was on her iPad.
On Snapchat. And the dad came
over and some man was grooming her for photos.
That was the plot. But the dad was like, we need to get
her off Snapchat. Something bad's gonna happen.
Wow, I haven't made it that far yet. I'm still on
season 12, which was like 2011
or something. So I've gotta catch up.
People are still being choked by the cords of phones at that point.
Thanks for
listening to the show. Episode 69.
Happy birthday, Jenna, once again. Thank you.
What are you doing to celebrate? You doing anything? No.
I'm depressed because of Sam.
Yeah, that was rough, Sam. That's pretty fair.
Well, happy birthday, Jenna. I'm getting teary again.
Hope Belvita Breakfast
Biscuit has you something at home.
Who?
Oh, Crumpet.
Sorry.
Oh, the cat.
Sorry, the cat.
Sorry.
Yeah, I've got news.
What?
So, I was fostering Crumpet.
Yeah.
And Crumpet's gone.
I'm very upset about this.
Crumpet went to his forever home.
Jenna!
What?
What?
Yes.
You didn't tell us this.
Yes, because I'm telling you now.
What happened?
It just happened this week.
So now I have another cat and I adopted her.
Oh!
Wait, Crumpet's dead.
No!
Crumpet's alive.
You said forever home.
Yeah.
That sounds very much like the land of Nod.
Yeah, like the rainbow cat park.
No, I was fostering him.
Right.
Oh, you never told us that.
Jenna, that's such important information.
It was never your cat.
You were just the fucking babysitter before someone adopted him.
No, because I was going to adopt him because the other people weren't sure
and then they came back and said yes, they would.
But I have adopted a cat.
You need to work on your phrasing, darling.
That was awful.
I really thought your cat was dead.
No.
We also almost bought Crumpet a custom collar.
I know.
Thank God we didn't waste our money.
Thank God we didn't get that gift.
Oh, no, but I would have given it to its new owner.
Who's the new one?
My new cat.
Okay.
What's its name?
She's very cute.
Yeah. Her name's Connie.
Connie?
Yes.
Oh, Vans.
That's a beautiful name.
I'm like, no.
So when did you meet the doctor?
Oh.
Don't.
Connie.
She's very cute.
And she's had babies and she's just turned one.
So she's got stumpy legs like Isabella.
Oh.
A one-year-old Reebok.
I'm still recovering from the news that Crumpet's dead but isn't.
Crumpet isn't.
Jenna, when you say forever home,
that is what people say to kids when their cat dies.
No, they don't.
It's the forever home.
Well, that's what I thought your home was
because you never said you were fostering it.
I thought it was permanent.
So when you said he's gone to his forever home,
I was like, he's fucking carked it on it.
No.
So yours was just the for now.
He's gone to his for never.
No, when I was giving him to his new owner,
I was crying so much.
So please don't bring this on my birthday.
No, we wouldn't.
We miss Crumpet. Why did you bring this
up now? Because I wanted
to bring it up because of Crumpet.
We hang out though. You could have
told us. You don't work
here anymore. We had a whole conversation
about your pet.
I thought it was Crumpet the entire time.
No, I was talking about Connie. Well, happy birthday.
I hope you and Connie have a great day.
Yeah.
Thank you.
You and Birkenstock.
Look at Connie in my bath.
Show me.
Oh, is that Haviana, is it?
Oh, look at the lug.
Looks like Isabella in a weird way.
It looks nothing like it.
It's because it's a cat.
It's got whiskers and ears.
Enjoy your birthday. Hey, guys, leave us a review. Five stars, please. It keeps us whiskers and ears. Enjoy your birthday.
Hey, guys, leave us a review.
Five stars, please.
It keeps us afloat, keeps us in business, puts money into the kiddio.

Yes, don't forget, if your review wasn't read out, don't play roulette every week.
Just go to the link in our bio, buy yourself a limited edition commemorative season three mug.

Welcome to ADD Brief.
This is our secret segment on the end.
Hopefully most people aren't listening anymore.
Only our favourites are sticking around.
Yeah.
For the loosey-goosey shit.
We just keep talking on the end.
That's us.
Yeah.
Welcome.
What a bombshell from Jenna.
I'm truly shocked.
I'll give you regular updates because I'm in touch with the owner.
Good, good. I don't care that much. No'm in touch with the owner. Good, good.
I don't care that much.
No, but look at this.
Look at Connie here right now.
Isn't she cute?
Oh, is this a live stream?
Yeah.
Show me.
Oh, she's just sitting and watching.
Hey, Connie.
Look at her.
Oh, this one's not deaf.
No.
Hey, puss.
Don't.
Come here, you fucking rat.
Don't.
You're scaring her. I love you. Get here, you fucking rat. Don't. You're scaring her.
I love you. Get out.
I love you.
Shoo.
I love you.
Do you remember last year we got celebrity and Aussie icon
Daryl Braithwaite to record this for Jenna?
Hi, this is Daryl Braithwaite here wanting to say happy birthday
to Groundkeeper Jenna.
I assume your name is Ground. That's a really nice name to Groundkeeper Jenna. I assume your name is Ground.
That's a really nice name, Groundkeeper Jenna.
Anyway, happy birthday from Daryl of Caulfield.
That is so unhinged.
That was a great gif.
The fact that it's on clearly a landline phone.
Hi, this is Daryl Bracewhite here.
I still stand by the landline phone.
The quality is so much better.
It's true.
The quality is better.
Did you guys ever,
well, I don't know if this was just me,
but did you guys answer the phone with,
hello, Mitchell speaking?
Yeah.
No, it was hello, this is Mitchell,
which is really hard to say with a lisp.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
There's a lot of S's close to each other.
Hello, this is Mitchell.
Mine was, hello, Mitchell speaking.
No worries.
Mom, it's Nick.
That was it. Every time. Also, we would Mitchell speaking. No worries. Mom, it's Nick. That was it, every time.
Also, we would run to answer the phone.
You would hear it ring and you would throw the Nintendo and you'd bolt.
You would think the world would implode if someone missed that call.
Now I just watch it ring out.
Can't be that important.
And I haven't got a voicemail in years.
But you used to live by the voicemail.
Mom would come home with the groceries on every finger
like she's the bloody contortionist.
And then she'd tap the play button and then four new messages.
Number one.
And that would just read them out.
Yeah.
That was so fun.
We never had voicemail.
You didn't have voicemail?
No.
Really?
What about, what is that Telstra 101 thing where you'd get the voicemail
but you'd have to dial to it?
Yeah.
Oh, fuck, yeah.
I got that.
No one used to do it.
Oi, you know how we have our current clothes and music
that we play at the end of every show?
Yeah.
I have an idea to pitch to the team.
Oh, okay.
So play our current clothes and music.
We talk over this.
When the show ends, it's a bit of royalty-free music.
Yeah.
It's iconic, though.
Of course, but I've found something that I think we should use
only for the end of AD Debrief.
The suckers that listen to the main show still get this shit.
Yeah.
But I found a song the other day that I think is really uplifting.
And so we'll leave all our favourite listeners
who listen to the end on a positive note.
Right.
So I've put it on your bullshit over there.
There's a grab.
It says AOK Closer.
Oh, yeah, it does.
So that is a song by fuck i remember who
but but i saw it on tiktok and what he said in the song before it started playing was
if you listen to this i just want this song to make you feel two percent better today that's all
and i listened and i felt way more than 2% better So play it I think it's such a nice note to end on
It's called A-OK
Well this is nice
And we'd sort of talk at this part right
Thanks for listening guys
69 it was a good ep
Sam was here
Yeah we'll catch you next week
See you guys
Living in this big blue world
With my head up in outer space
It's like our show song
I know I'll be A-OK I know I'll be A-O-A-O-K
I know I'll be A-O-A-O-K
When I see trouble come my way
I'll be making lemonade
I know I'll be A-O-A-O-K
I know I'll be A-O-A-O-K
See what I mean?
Yeah, this is fun.
I like it.
I like this.
It's a nice positive note to end on.
We should steal his catchphrase too and be like,
guys, we hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
We really need to pay him some cash then if we're stealing all his gear.
I wish I could remember the artist's name.
I just found it.
Ty Verdes.
Oh, my God.
I've interviewed Ty Verdes.
I know him.
We know each other.
Oh, then. Yeah, I know him We know each other Yeah Oh then
Yeah I know Ty
Turn this song up
Yeah sorry
And then eventually
It would just fade out
This is how we end the show
Yeah that's nice
Turn this bit up
Ah
Ah
A-OK
Look on me
Ah
Ah
A-OK
Look on me
Ah Ah A-OK Shhh Girl' be A-A-A-okay You gon' be A-A-A-okay
Livin' in this big blue world
With my head up in outer space
I know I'll be A-O-A-okay
I know I'll be A-O-A-okay
When I see trouble come my way
I'll be makin' lemonade
I know I'll be A-O-A-okay I know I'll be making lemonade I don't want to be
See, it's a vibe
And then just let it fade
It just fades out
I like it
Don't talk over the fade out
I'm trying to get the
I'm trying to get the
An impression of what it's like
You know
And then our favourite listeners Go off into their day feeling a little bit better.
I don't give a fuck about the early listeners.
They can get the ball and play.
We only want to boost the mood of our faves.
Well, I know, Ty.
Why don't I try and get him on the show and we could get his blessing?
I don't know if we should bring it to his attention.
Can you maybe do...
How do you speak to him?
Well, we did message on Instagram, but I've just checked and he has since it to his attention. Can you maybe do... How do you speak to him?
Well, we did message on Instagram,
but I've just checked and he has since unfollowed me.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, maybe I was rude in the interview.
Yeah.
I can reach out to his label.
I've got the label connections.
So let me reach to that. Maybe get permission to use the song
because I was just going to pull a sneaky
and suggest we play it.
I like it.
You know what?
I would like some suggestions.
Like, I'm open to suggestions.
What's wrong with that suggestion?
The song is nice. The song is beautiful.
But a show song is huge.
It's exactly like the theme songs that we played today. Yeah, like you know how John Laws
has got the song that
he ends his show with every day. Yeah, what's it called?
A Little Less
of Me. Or Less of Me.
So John Laws ends his show every day by being like
Oh, that's all we've got
Yeah, that's it
Well, it is that I must leave you now
I do hope that you all be kind to one another
And then he fades the song out
Let me be a little kinder Let me be a little kinder.
Let me be a little
kinder. Definitely
catering to his demographic. Yeah.
So we shan't be using that song, but I like
our one. Well, I end my show with a song
every night. Oh, that's right.
I end it with this.
And I'll wrap up. I'll say
thanks for listening. I'll see you tomorrow night.
Jessie J will be hanging out
Talking about her new hip piercing
Plus we've got tickets to Phineas and Ferb
Take New York City
And I'll see you then
And this starts because it's at midnight
It starts everyone's day off with a high
Does it?
Yeah
Because it's fun
Pussycat, pussy cat.
I've got hours and lots of hours to spend with you.
It's not a bad vibe, but what's uplifting about pussy cat?
Because it's funny.
Yeah, but our one, you listen to the lyrics.
Listen, put ours on again.
In fact, if we've learnt anything, it's that our listener suggestions are shit.
From this top five, if we've not learnt anything.
Freddie, thanks for listening, guys.
We'll catch you back next week.
See you, everyone.
Bye.
Living in this big blue world
With my head up in outer space
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K
I know I'll be A-O, A-O-K
It's nice.
I hope our podcast made you feel at least 2% better today.
Sounds like we're actually turning into a self-help podcast.
Yeah, a little bit.
And?
Well, I like it to end, but I want options.
I just want, here's what I want.
I want people to send in songs that they think could be our show song.
Don't.
And then next week on the show, we will decide.
Come on. Yeah, I like that. Because we can't just next week on the show, we will decide. Come on.
Yeah, I like that.
Because we can't just pick it on the spot.
Send in your songs.
Everyone listening now,
DM us your songs.
And if they're all shit,
then we can just go back to our own.
We'll do it in the Endurant Idiots group.
Don't DM us.
Why?
We won't see it there.
We'll put it in the group.
Alright, alright.
Put this in the Endurant.
If you're not in the Endurant Idiots,
it's our secret Facebook group
for the ultra fans.
I don't like this, but but who says the world is blue?
My head's down south.
You're just salty because he unfollowed you on Instagram.
You bastard.
What's his name again?
Ty Verdes.
Ty what?
Ty Verdes.
Guys, I was so sick the last couple of days.
You still sound a bit off.
I am a bit off.
Listen to me.
This is just my exhale.
Ready?
Oh, you're putting that on.
That sounded like that garden in Harry Potter.
With all the screaming pot plants What are they again?
They pull them out?
Yeah
That's an awful scene
What are they called?
Hagrid Hidden Bottoms or something
No
They've got a weird name
McGonagargoyles
McGonagoyles
Potterpuffters
What are they called?
Diagonus
I have to look it up now
Harry Harry Potter Screaming Plant Harry Potter's. What are they called? I have to look it up now.
Harry Potter Screaming Plant.
Harry Potter Screaming Bush.
Here we go.
The Man... Mandrake.
Yeah, Mandrake.
Oh, yeah, but the...
Yeah, Mandrake.
Also known as...
Mandrake.
Mandrake.
Oh.
That's what my GP was like.
We pop mandrakes.
Who here can tell me the properties of the mandrake root?
Yes, Miss Granger.
Hermione.
Mandrake or mandragora is used to return those who've been petrified to their original form.
Shut up.
Oh, they're putting the headphones on.
Here we go.
Remember this?
Yeah.
Oh, no good.
No, it's worse when they all do it.
Yeah.
Yeah, there we go.
Yuck.
That's horrific.
Can I show you a Harry Potter scene that for no reason whatsoever
sprung to mind the other day?
And I just got chills thinking about it.
So I looked it up and it gave me chills again.
Tell me.
If I play it, you can't find a way to talk over it.
Okay.
It was the moment we all realised that Professor McGonagall
is the baddest bitch of Hogwarts.
Oh, is this when she fights Snape in the hall?
No, it's after that.
Okay.
It's when she does that spell that turns all the bloody statues on the wall into real life yards.
Yes!
And then she goes, I've always wanted to do that spell.
Yeah.
I'm finding it.
Here, here.
I've written Harry Potter McGonagall.
Protects Hogwarts.
Yeah. Yeah, do that.
Hogwarts is threatened!
Man the boundaries!
This is it.
You've actually given us permission to do this.
That is correct.
So when she does the spell, that's when we all have to shut up
because I want to hear the music.
That's what makes it okay.
You do realise, of course, he can't keep out you-know-who indefinitely.
That doesn't mean we can't delay him.
And his name is Voldemort.
Silius, you might as well use it.
He's going to try to kill you either way.
Hugo.
Pier Totem Locomotor!
Ultim Locomotor!
Those are the fucking things jumping off becoming real life statues that are actually going to fight.
Hogwarts is threatened! Man the boundaries! Protect us!
Do your duty to our school.
I've always wanted to use that spell.
Oh.
Yeah, and then the midget walks out.
They start making a big dome over Hogwarts like the Simpsons movie.
Harry's a dog.
So many people died for him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
One of the Ranger twins.
No good.
The dad, didn't the dad die?
Or the mum?
Both his parents are dead from the beginning.
Yeah.
Both of Harry's parents. No, Ron.
Ron.
No, none of his parents died.
Just his brother.
Look at them.
Did I ever tell you about the time that I went to the Harry Potter world and I was too
fat to go on the Gryffindor ride?
I think you've mentioned it, yeah.
And they stayed in character.
So I sat on the chair,
which is like a gargoyle that straps you in.
And it's a conveyor belt that doesn't stop moving
like an escalator, but it's really slow.
So you walk on and then you sit down.
But you've got about 45 seconds
to get buckled in before it starts.
So I get in at the front and it's walking
and they're like,
Welcome to Hufflepuff.
Take your seat, wizard.
So then I walk up and then I take a seat.
And then the clamp won't go down.
And they were like, we need to give you a snifflepuff potion.
And I was like, oh, oh.
And then it was moving.
And we were like halfway now.
And Hayden's like, pull it tighter.
I'm like, I'm trying.
He's like, breathe in, lizard. So I was like, we need a three clickers.
And I was like, oh, it's only getting two.
He's like, breathe in.
We need one more.
And then we're about to end.
And then he goes, sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave the ride, please, sir.
I was like, what?
A completely broke character.
No.
Puts me off. And I'm like, Hayden's like, oh, get off.'s like oh get off my no you go on and then he takes me to the backstage area he's like you must go down the chamber of potions i was like oh okay he opens the door
it's like the exits down there take a left you can go through the kitchen and it was this it
was harry potter world it was a brick a brick sandstone door that i opened and then on the
inside it was just like a white hallway.
It was so awful.
You know what you should have done?
Yeah.
A bit of Laconum and Flamore.
Set the whole joint on fire.
Oh, should I?
Just for revenge.
No, I'll get them in the lawsuit at my lawyer.
I'll sue them.
I'll sue them.
They'll be sued.
That was really embarrassing, and I waited an hour and a half Then I bought a sorting hat
And left it in the hotel
A sorting hat
They're feral
Why'd you buy that?
It was animatronic
It moved
You pressed it
And it would go
What would you ever do
With a sorting hat?
From my shelf at home
It went
And I wanted it from my shelf at home. It went, zzz, zzz, zzz.
Home!
And I wanted it.
I bought it.
For how much?
It was, like, 50 US.
Which is what?
120 bucks.
It was great.
It was brown felt.
And?
I also wanted to buy a golden snitch for about 300 US.
Yeah, and I saw those.
Hayden wouldn't let me.
No, you can't.
He's like, have you seen the films?
I was like, once.
I wanted a snitch.
Why?
Because it was so golden and shiny.
Mitch's snitch.
Mitch's snitch.
Yeah.
But I didn't get it.
It was so degrading.
The only ride I could go on was Hagrid's Adventure.
Which one was that?
You're on his motorbike flying around his bush house.
That's a good one, though.
So boring.
And what's that bird?
The pigrid or whatever it's called.
Pigrid.
Buckbeak.
What did you just say?
Buckbeak.
You said buttmeat.
No.
Not on the air.
It's not pigrid.
I can assure you.
Pigrid. Pigrid. Buttbeak. Buck's not Pingred. I can assure you of that. Pingred.
Pingred.
Buttbeak.
Buckbeak.
Buckbeak.
Buckbeak.
So you're flying.
Buckbeak.
The weirdest part about Hagrid's ride is that they've got like speakers throughout.
So it sounds like he's behind you the whole time, but he's not.
So like, let's go, me.
But it's so quiet.
He's like, watch out.
Fuckface is coming. But it's the quiet he's like watch out fuck face
it's coming
but it's the bird
and then you like
go around the corner
and then you like
duck from it
it's an awful world
Harry Potter world
but Butterbeer
Butterbeer was beautiful
who?
I love it
Butterbeer
do you like the frozen one
or the
Hayden and I got one of each
and we just swapped
I like the frozen one
I don't really remember it's too sugary it's very sugary the frozen one's nice I like the frozen one or the... Hayden and I got one of each and we just swapped. I like the frozen one. I don't really remember.
It's too sugary.
It's very sugary.
The frozen one's nice.
I like the topping.
And you can go to Wonka's Wand Shop.
Wonka.
Ollivander's.
Ollivander's.
Wonka.
You can go to Ollivander's and...
Why do you just confidently guess names?
You can just say, hey, what's that guy with the wand shop again?
Wonka.
Waste time.
Wonka's wand shop.
And you can get a wand picture.
You've been there.
And they do a whole little presentation where the guy comes back and says,
one of these watchers will be the one who chooses the wizard. And they do this whole thing.
Like one person gets picked out and the rest of you are like,
and if you want a wand, it's over there.
Yeah.
And it's like, oh, okay.
Only one person gets picked. Yeah. And you line up like, and if you want to wander, it's over there. Yeah. And it's like, oh, okay. Only one person gets picked.
Yeah, and you line up
for like an hour
to go in there.
Yeah.
Do you go into the bathrooms
and you see Moaning Myrtle
just wandering around
and just floating around
being like,
ooh.
She was,
I think they actually
had the bathrooms.
They like make them out
to look like it.
Yeah.
Actually,
I think you're right.
They do play Moaning Myrtle.
Yes, they do.
There's like one stall that's just closed at all times.
That or an American couple getting it on and just doing it to me.
Imagine if we actually had a Polyjuice potion and we fucking swapped.
You would have my voice, but you look like you still.
Yeah.
We could do it.
For a day.
What's the potion?
We could do it.
It's fiction.
We're beginning this potion. Wait, after do it it's fiction we're beginning this portion

That scene drives me insane.
Let us like break his arm or whatever.
The bones are moving his arm.
Isn't there a slug or something?
Yeah.
Yeah, he starts vomiting them up.
Oh my God, that makes me sick.
It's fine, Jenna.

You said Ron.
Those are Nimbus 2001s.
How did you get those?
A gift from Draco's father.
You see, Weasley, unlike some, my father can afford the best.
At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy them.
They got an on pure talent.
No one asked your opinion, you filthy little mudblood.
Wow.
What a mole.
She'll pay for that one, Malfoy.
Eat slugs!
I thought that spell had no creative name.
Yeah, eat slugs!
Yeah!
Oh no.
You okay, Ron?
Say something.
He's got a fucking gob full of slug juice.

No, Colin, get out of the way.
Of course he is.

She's even moaning.

Not on the roof, next door!
That's it, land down.

You go home every weekend.
No, I haven't been home.
Yeah, but will you...
Of course you'll be celebrating with your family.

She's like, nothing.
No, I didn't.
And so we're like, let's call her mother and see if there's something planned.

Coupleofmitchesmedia at gmail.com.
But don't email us.
Just put it in the fucking group.
Send us an email.
No.
Itchim the podcast.
Don't email us.
Itchim the podcast.
Because none of you are logged in.
I'm going to have to deal with it.
Two gay men.
One mousy brown girl.
Do you know what I was thinking that whole time you were doing that?
I was like, this is very AD debrief material.
Like, it's letting our weirdness slip very early on.
Oh, should we put this in the junk?
No, no, no, not at all.
No, I would have said that if I thought it was junk.
I was just like, this is very, like, us just mucking around with sound effects.
Yeah, it really is.
It's my sort of domain.
Is it just me?
Or did the next play great on the weekend?
That's what a sports podcast is, just me with it.
All crypto.
Do you know that there's even more Is It Just Me's now?
Get fucked.
You know how we keep listening to our rivals who have the same name as us?
There's more.
How do you know?
How do you know?
Because whenever I search us, just to make sure the same name as us, there's more. How do you know? Because whenever I search us,
just to make sure our episodes have been uploaded,
there's new ones popping up that I've never seen before.
Some of them don't even have episodes yet.
We can't review again.
We did it just at the start of the season.
Oh, my God, there is.
Oh, my God.
Guys, you're right, Mitch.
Where did the number one is it just me podcast?
But we weren't when we started.
Jo Elvin, who we've spoken about on the podcast, she follows us.
She's been very civil about our rise to number one.
She was number two.
But they've been bumped to number three.
I know.
There's a new one on the block.
Is It Just Me.
Also, can I just say, we're talking about Apple podcasts here.
We come up first when you search.
But iHeartRadio, to whom we are signed, if you type in Is It Just Me on there, it brings up three randoms and you have to click see more to find out.
So I'm like, can we just ask someone in the building
to make a couple of tweaks?
I agree.
We should be at the fucking top.
Oh, God, look at this Abbey Chatfield wannabe.
You can get on that, Sam.
Ask iHeart.
Megan Leak.
Is it just me?
Is that a Megan Leak or a Eugen Leak?
Hi, welcome to Is It Just Me?
The podcast where your host, Meg, honestly and openly discusses all topics we tend to feel alone about.
Oh, this is terrible.
I'm giving it a one star review.
She's got no ratings.
Oh, my God, guys.
Ranking every Mamma Mia song.
Oh, whoa.
Can you link me?
Yeah.
That sounds great.
Oh, can I just do one thing?
This is my favourite song I've ever heard
Remember this is just made by Romana Kosheluki
My personal favourite
And this is the song, Call Loud, Popular
Which is a great message and commentary on society
That we should really call loud, popular
Here we go. Always do be my drum like a drum. So you, oh no.
Is it me that thinks it's awkward?
Jenna, maybe we should do new closing music.
I'm saying we should do that A-OK song.
But can you, Mitch, can you just find like a sort of drone,
like a little moaning sound that's just kind of constant.
And Jenna, can you improvise with some clapping and some singing? Yeah, please. find like a sort of drone, like a little moaning sound. This is kind of constant.
And Jenna, can you improvise with some clapping and some singing?
Yeah, please.
This can be our new closing music.
I forfeit A-OK.
You just want some sort of drone, huh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like old mate had.
By the way, episode 57 is when we listen to the other Is It Just Me podcast. If you want to catch up on that, have you missed it?
That's when we were in my bedroom.
Feels like forever ago.
Here we go.
Can I start?
Yeah.
You're listening to Is It Just Me, the podcast.
That's what you're listening to right now.
Mitch and Mitch and Jenna are here for your ears to enjoy
So that's what you're listening to now
It's just me
Second verse
Keep on doing you Second verse.
Keep on doing you.
Be yourself.
That's all that matters.
Be happy.
Try your best.
I've had enough.
Perhaps, perhaps we should do another audition.
Dot Wiggins.
You can have her take.
She's putting her pad in.
Her light bladder leakage pad. Oh, yeah, she's been through menopause, but it's a poise pad.
Should I go and get her?
Yeah, bring her in.
Dot.
Dot, you old mat.
Dot.
Dot, don't.
Dot. She hasn't! Dot, no. Dot! Dot!
She hasn't met Sam, guys. She's freaking out.
No!
No!
I was like, Jesus!
The boys are in here.
We met like two weeks ago.
I'll move, Dot. You come in here.
Hello. Hi, Dot. Who is he?
That's contraceptive diaphragm Sam, our producer.
Oh.
I've met before.
I had one of those back in my day.
Why?
It was called a vaginal dab.
Like an inch of silicon.
Right.
Let me tell you, it did not work.
Why am I here?
We'll turn the music off, Mitch.
Yeah, excuse me, darling.
Buy me dinner first.
Turn this off.
Okay, so you're going to have to start from the top and dot.
You're just going to do an improvised song.
Clapping is allowed.
You can clap items of shit together if you want,
rather than your own brittle hands.
