Hi, guys. We've got some grave news. Mitchell, do you want to do the honours? No, no, I don't. Before we get started, Mitchell, I believe you've got something to fess up to. Guys, you'll only notice Pricekeeper Jenna towards the end of this episode. She was here for the whole recording, for the entire show. She was actually early, quite punctual, but I made a mistake

and I forgot to record her microphone into the show. She was actually early, quite punctual, but I've, uh, I made a mistake and I forgot to record her microphone in to the show. Yeah. So you'll hear her laughing in the background, just not actually recording, but it's still a great episode. Eventually you realize you weren't recording her in. So she'll just randomly appear at the end. I really do apologize. There was a lot going on. And if it was going to happen to anyone, of course it's Jenna. It's a great episode nonetheless, but, uh, she definitely appears towards the end. And this is the episode where I'm expected to be lifting your probation. I know. Well, it's already been recorded now.

You can't go back. What's Mitch's decision? Well, you'll have to listen to the episode to find out. People do some weird shit. Television legend Kerri-Ann Kennelly fell several metres from a trapeze while performing in the musical Pippin. Some things make more sense than others. Marianne Kennelly fell several metres from a trapeze while performing in the musical Pippet. Oh, shit! 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-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 Chinna. Who? Now, here's Mitch Churi and Mitchell Coates. Oh, episode 80.

I went to a school with a girl named Katie. I don't know. I didn't think of a rhyme in time. Hello, Mitchell Coombs. I have noticed you've started doing the rhyming thing, but I didn't think of a rhyme in time. It rhymes. Oh, it's a crime not to think of a rhyme in time.

Well, happy 80th all the same. Happy 80th. We made it. Let's get the prune juice out and, I don't know, our poise pads and celebrate before we cark it. Mitchell, I think, did you bring this up on an episode? Someone else did. There's a number of episodes that podcasts get to that is like the breaking point.

Is it 30? No, there's kind of like this theory in the podcast world that you get a 20-episode burnout. Is that it? And it's whether you can push through that or not. Shit. And we're up to 80, so we've burnt out three times over. Yeah! I'm not good at math.

Double that for you. I've just checked. This is the episode that could have ended us. Katy Perry cancels on Coombs. Do you know what? That was the first episode we did where we were all feeling really miserable about coronavirus. Really?

Yeah, and we were just so down in the dumps that episode. really miserable about coronavirus. Really? Yeah. And we were just so down in the dumps that episode. Oh, yeah. So that literally could have ended us. And now here we are, all these episodes later, 60 episodes later, if my math is correct. I think you're right. We're in the same scenario. Can I just say lockdown's getting to me.

It finally is. Oh, yeah. Lockdown's got to me. I am cooked. Do you know what really really did it for me this whole wave this you know new lockdown yes sydney and elsewhere this whole time i've been kind of selfish and a bit ignorant in that i've just not been watching the news or whatever yep but i kept hearing about oh the situation in afghanistan afghanistan i was

like i've got no idea what's going on. And, oh, my God, didn't that bring me down? I spent like maybe three hours on YouTube catching up on all the news reports about what's going on with Afghanistan and the Taliban. And I was like, oh, my God, this is a weird feeling of helplessness that I am not comfortable with. Yeah, I listened to an ABC podcast and had a whole day of dread thinking about what's going on in Afghanistan.

That's horrific. But then it also puts things in perspective for you. Then you hear about people who are dying of COVID in Sydney with the outbreak. It's like, far out. Here we are worrying about, you know, our little podcast when this is happening in the world. It's grim times. Yeah.

I mean, I'm not worried about our little podcast, are you? Well, Jenna whispered to me before the show started and she's got some concerns, which will flag after the episode, which is very big, by the way. Today is the day that I will leave probation. Well, it remains to be seen. Remember, this was your chance to get out of probation. You've been doing a brilliant job as our guest booker. You've been booking guest after guest.

You've been on a real role. And I said, OK, one more. And so this is your due date, episode 80. Have you got a big guest coming up? Yes, my guest is lined up and I'm very excited for them to come on the show. And it will get me out of probation. I'm extremely confident. It is a guest that I would say is up there with the most requested special guests from our listeners. Oh, okay. But not only do I have a guest, you've turned up and decided to bring two of your own as well.

Yeah, so this had nothing to do with my doubt that you wouldn't pull through with a guest, but I thought for our 80th episode, we should do something special 80s themed. So later, we've got a top five 80s songs. We're going to be doing that segment and guess who our special guest rankers are going to be we're going to play the songs they're going to decide the top five list guess who they are jenna's employers that's right her bosses jonesy and amanda jonesy and am. They're radio royalty. I don't think so. Maybe at

optometrists and hip replacement clinics. But, uh... Excuse me, you're meant to be honing your gift for talking the guests up. Don't be... These are your guests so you can talk them up and I can be the obnoxious radio host. Well, look, obviously with the

top five 80s songs, I thought, who are 80s music experts that I know? And obviously, they've been working on WSFM for years. So whatever songs we nominate from the 80s, chances are they've played them like hundreds of times in their career. Yes, you're right. Hey, can I ask Mitch? Yeah.

Is your guest more or less of a celebrity than Jonesy and Amanda? No, they are. They are more of a celebrity, 100%. They're definitely bigger and more well-known to our demographic. Similar age bracket. All right, there you go. Well, it's guests galore today. Mitchell's mystery guest and Jonesy and Amanda.

It's going to be a big show. Happy 80th. Happy 80th. If it's your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me? Every week Mitch and I bring an idjim, I-I-J-M. Is it just me? Get it? It's something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.

And Mitch doesn't know mine. I don't know Mitch's and they're the base of the show. It's a little springboard, if you like. And mine is something that I don't know where I found. I think I read it on Twitter and it blew my mind. It was one of those things that made me think, holy shit, I've been doing this wrong my whole life. Oh, another thing you're doing wrong.

The list is just getting so long. I know, I know. What's yours? Mine is, I don't know. Do you want me to just tell you now? I can tell you right now. Yeah, you go first. Yeah, hit it, Bradley.

Is it just me or? Do you love a female with a deep voice? Oh. Yeah, so I saw a TikTok the other day about this girl feeling a bit insecure about how deep her voice is, and there were quite a few comments kind of, you know, giving her a bit of flack for it. It was from ShahMak98. Here it is.

I personally don't think I have a masculine voice. I think it's just a deeper tone of a feminine voice. Like, yeah, it may not be like your average Kelly or Sarah's voice, but it's my voice. I saw that in my FYP. I mean, yeah, it's not a stereotypical female voice, what people would assume to be a feminine voice. It really stands out, doesn't it?

Yeah. But people were kind of making fun of her for her deep voice, and I thought, babes, don't worry about those motherfuckers. I love a female with a deep voice. You know whose voice has, like like gotten way deeper over time? Are you going to say Lady Gaga? No, but I didn't even think of that as an example. That's a great example.

Yeah, because she's a bit deep. The example I was going to say is Detective Olivia Benson on Law and Order SVU. Oh, oh my God. So I'm watching all the later seasons, which I'm assuming you guys haven't seen. No. But, oh my God, she's gotten so manly.

Like, she's more manly than me. Well, the bar's low, but yes. Yeah, I know. I'm assuming that you guys would have in your lifetime seen at least one early days SVU rerun on Channel 10 or something. So tell me if this is pretty much how you remember her voice to be back in the day. We have people at your apartment right now collecting evidence, every glass, every bottle of booze, every pill bottle. And guess whose fingerprints are going to be on them, Chet?

Yeah, I remember that voice. So that's the OG Olivia Benson. Well, this is what she sounds like now. Intendant stabler, get out now. Oh! Get now. Oh. Get out. Now. Wow.

See? I'm like, babes, how many darts have you been chuffing? But I love it. The criminal justice system has taken its toll. Yeah. I mean, she's been promoted. She's Captain Benson now, not Detective. There you go.

So, yep, the stress has She's Captain Benson now, not Detective. There you go. So, yeah, the stress has just made her voice go, no. Well, Sophie Monk, who we've had on the show, has a famously deep voice. Nat Penfold, guest on the show all the time, has a deep voice. Yeah, they both do. And Miley Cyrus, of course, another example. But it's interesting, the University of South Australia did a study on this

and they reckon that women now speak at a deeper pitch than their mothers and grandmothers would have done thanks to the changing power dynamics between men and women. Love that. Adopting a deeper tone in the workplace projects authority and dominance while a deeper voice can be considered less sexually attractive to men oh

yeah who cares yeah who cares what they think so it could be evolutionary it sounds like it yeah wow i love that can i tell you another woman with a deep voice that i love yeah noni hazelhurst oh her logis acceptance speech was iconic that aussieie actress, she used to be on Play School. I have an example, actually. Do you remember a few years ago when she read that parody bedtime story called Go the Fuck to Sleep? Yeah. It was so funny but made all the more better by her deep, booming voice.

I love it. Hello. The story today is about a little baby who doesn't want to go to sleep. And the baby is making mummy and daddy very tired. Do you know a baby like that? Here's the story. The cats nestle close to their kittens. The lambs have lain down with the sheep.

They're going to fall asleep. You're cosy and warm in your bed, my dear. Please go the fuck to sleep. The tiger reclines in the simmering jungle. The sparrow has silenced her cheap. Fuck your stuffed bear. I'm not getting you shit. Close your eyes.

Cut the crap. Sleep. Wasn't it so much more comforting having a deep, booming voice from a woman? Yeah. It just sits right. So any females out there that have a deep voice, don't be insecure. You know? It'll get you far.

I think it's a good thing. Yeah, and vice versa. I mean, Mitchell, you're the leaders of the men with female voices. I don't know what you mean, bro. All right. Ready for mine? Yep you mean, bro. All right. Ready for mine? Yep. Go for it.

Here we go. Is it just me or? Did you not realize that 30% chance of rain means 30% chance of coverage? No. Now let me explain. When you are going out for the day and you go, I'm going to check the weather, and it says 30% chance, 30% rain, do you also think, like I do and the majority think, oh, that means there's a 30% chance that it will rain today?

Which means there's a 70% chance it will be dry as fuck. Yes. We're good. Correct. That is a common misconception because we are all wrong. That means it is going to rain in your area, but 30% of the rain will be where you are. Isn't that a mind fuck?

No, it is because I still don't get it. Okay, so. Do you mean like if Tim Bailey, although he doesn't work, he got made redundant, who's the weather person now? I don't even know. No, Tim Bailey does 2GB weather. Not anymore. Oh, really?

Oh, no. He got fired again? Oh, fuck me. No, he left of his own choosing this time, which is lovely. Did he not like it? Must have. Wow, this is such Z-grade media gossip that no one listening will care about. So anyway, let's just use him for example because I can't think of anyone else um let's say tim bailey's up there this is my understanding if he says 30 chance

of rain in sydney it means that on a map of sydney only 30 of it will be wet so like penrith or blacktown whatever makes up 30 of sydney is that not it no that no that that is it okay so i've gone to the pleasure of Googling other common life misconceptions. Oh, okay. Because apparently there's a lot of things that we're getting wrong. Common misconception, everyone says, do not wake a sleepwalker. You know when someone's sleepwalking, they go, you don't wake them. Why is that?

They'll freak out. The true answer is they will not have a heart attack or be put into coma. They'll simply be confused and it's pleasant for them not to wake them. So there is no medical or scientific reason for you not to wake them. Oh, so that's why they say not to wake them because they might flip out and the cow would punch you right there in the kitchen. Yes, and if you ever come across a sleepwalker on King's Cross, do not go near them.

But that's not true now. That's not true. It's not true. What about this? You can touch a baby bird without its mother abandoning it. Remember when you were in the playground and there was a little finch chirping in the ground and the teacher went, don't you touch it. Mama birds can smell the scent of humans and it will kill it.

Did you ever get that? I got that with sheep and I think it was true. Really? We used to wear gloves when we were marking lambs sometimes. Partially because they were covered in fucking burrs and it was just like you'd get scratched to bejesus when you were picking up lambs. But if you pick up a newborn lamb and you get your scent all over it, apparently the mum's like, that's not mine. Really? And just abandons it for its death.

That's awful. What about this, Reddy? This one blew my mind. Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day. No, that was a slogan bought by Kellogg's. They paid marketers to come up with a slogan in the 70s, and that was their marketing campaign, and it caught on culturally. So people think breakfast is the most important meal of the day,

but that's just Kellogg's marketing. All meals matter. AML. Oh, no, that's the wrong acronym. ANAL. It's AMM. What about this one, Ryan? Fish, in fact, have a three-year memory, not a three-second memory.

Do they? Oh, it can't be that long. Apparently it was from a Disney film. That was a line and people just took it on as Bible and they believed it. But fish have great memories. They do not, in fact, have three-second flash memories. I think you're maybe the one that's taking on BS as Bible now because I heard recently, God knows where I heard this,

that they did a study on fish and, like, trying to learn their behaviours and see if they could remember things. And their memory was more like a few minutes, not three seconds, but definitely not three years. Well, the story is correct that they're not just three seconds. It's a stupid line from a child's film. What about this? Tomato is a fruit.

Did we know that? Not a vegetable. Tomato is a fruit. You know what always trips me out? Yeah. When I remember that eggs aren't dairy. Oh, yeah. Like where the fuck do you put them on the food pyramid

if not the dairy category? Yeah, very true. What are they then? They're literally a fetus. Oh, no. Jingle Bells, get this right, was written for Halloween. What? How does that fit Halloween at all?

It's not a Christmas song. Have you ever seen anyone on Halloween dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh? No, you have not. But one horse open sleigh. Santa has reindeer. Oh, my God, you're right. But it's a sleigh.

No one uses the word sleigh except Mr and Mrs Claus. And annoying gay men. You're listening to Is It Just Me? Who doesn't love some free shit? All you have to do is leave a review. Okay, let's do some reviews. Need I remind you that we are mere moments away from my freedom from probation, my final guest, not final forever, but my final guest

to get me out of this so-called faux probation. Better not be your final guest. I can put you back in probation as quickly as I take you out, darling. No, because once I'm out of probation, we're equals and that's that. I had a friend put back on probation, actually. It's possible. Really? Yeah.

Which is basically like, here's another six months of like, do a good fucking job or you're out. I didn't know you could do that. That's scary. But yeah, you can actually be put back on probation. Yeah. And I'll do it. Ah, probation's what, three months?

Depends on the workplace, yeah. All right. So you can leave us a review. Five stars, please. It keeps us going on the cloud. And for a very, very limited time, this will end very soon, if your review is read out on the show and you message Pricekeeper Jenna within a week,

you will be sent a Season 3 commemorative mug, which you can buy on our Instagram bio. That's where you message Jenna as well, by the way. On Instagram. A couple of mitches. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Eve Jacks has done just that on Apple Podcasts. Five stars. Thank you, Eve. She says, has done just that on Apple Podcasts. Five stars.

Thank you, Eve. She says, Ijum is fast becoming a staple in my weeks. What can I say? Mitchell, Mitch and Jenna, it's a lot of pressure to say, where would I be without you? But far out do you make my tough day a bit easier. Today my boyfriend and I broke up. Oh, no.

And my beautiful cocker spaniel bell had to be put down. That's awful. But this podcast did not fail to make me giggle through some tears. I've been listening from the start and followed cooms from... Yada, yada, yada. No, go on. What's the yada, yada? I followed cooms from way back when.

I was a honeycoon back in the YouTube Facebook clip days, and I've loved the content from day dot. Apologies for the heaviness, but love your stuff, guys. Keep it up. Sending my love, Eve. Oh, Evie. Imagine being dumped and having a dead dog in the same day. That's full on.

I'm so sorry, darling. But also giggling, listening to us through it. At what points do you think she put us on? Maybe I hope we weren't the inciting incident that led to the breakup. the inciting incident that led to the breakup. Like, all you ever do is listen to that fat boy, the whining girl, and the other one. We're done. Are you worried that if you insult me that I won't bring you out of probation?

I was waiting for some witty remark. No, no, no. I just wanted to leave it ambiguous. No, no, no, no. I wanted you as a choose-your-own-adventure. All right. Well done. We'll send you a mug, whatever your name was.

Let's go to Facebook. This one comes in from Ethan Hardy. Ethan is another day-wonner. I've been listening to the podcast since day one. I listen to you guys when I'm making dinner for the family or when I need a mental break and have had a long, I need a laugh after a long day of tape Zoom classes. With lockdown, I found myself listening to you guys back at episode one

and loving every moment of it, which I don't understand. I could never go back and listen to more of the original podcast episodes if I've already listened to them. I don't know how people do it. Isn't it odd that he's been listening since day one and has left it to now to leave a review? Like, what's the fuck about everyone? I agree.

I completely agree. I agree. Hello, you can win a mug. Like, what's the fuck about, everyone? I agree. I completely agree. I agree. Hello, you can win a mug. It's not like you're just doing nothing. We are giving you A, free content, and B, potentially a free mug for fuck's sake. We bend over backwards for you, dogs, and you can't even twiddle your thumbs for a little bit

to write some nice words. Get fucked. I'm out. Five out of our fucking seven days is spent worrying, planning, making, producing this fucking show. The least you could do. Oh, that's a bit of a stretch. Yeah.

Well, you ranted last week, so I thought it was only fair that it was my turn to jump on. Anyway, look, later we've got your big guest still to come, but before that we've got an 80s themed top five with two legends, right? Two Australian icons. Comedy icon Amanda Kellett, radio icon, Brendan Jonesy-Jones, and Manda, because right now it's time for one of our favourite segments. Jonesy and Amanda in the morning.

WSFM. Edgeham top five. Jonesy and Amanda are here. Hello. I'm clapping myself. Hey, Mitches. Pleasure to have you here, guys. This is so exciting. I'm here too and Amanda are here. Hello. I'm clapping myself. Hey, Mitches. Pleasure to have you here, guys. This is so exciting.

I'm here too. And Jenna's here too, Jonesy, please. Well, because it's a couple of Mitches and Jenna. Is that right? Yeah. She kind of just inserted herself into the show. It's our podcast, technically. But we actually like her, so we just let it happen.

It's evolved. She started behind the glass, and then about 10 episodes in, she was sort of at the door. And then 15 in, she was at the chair. And then by 20, she had a microphone. And by 30, it'll be Jenna and a couple of Mitch's. Yeah. We had to put her in a coffin maybe 20 episodes ago.

You guys across that? Jenna in a coffin? No. Yeah, I was in a coffin for an hour. How did you go? I was fine. Did it freak you out? No.

That's because you're weird. Yeah, that's exactly right. Everyone was like watching the video going, I'm so claustrophobic. Jenna's like, I'm fine. Did it freak you out? No. That's because you're weird. Yeah, that's exactly right. Everyone was like watching the video going, I'm so claustrophobic. Jenna's like, I'm fine. We did a living room thing where one of the products was that they'd put your picture onto a coffin. So they had a coffin with my smiling face on it. And Miguel, who's very superstitious as a Spaniard, just couldn't even be in the room

and he was crossing himself. And that was the strangest thing to see. Yeah. I wouldn't get in it, funnily enough. Well, Janet brought her own, so that's what really creeps us out. My bad. It's so exciting to have you here. We all work in the same building, so it's the ARN Umbrella brand.

But we do this podcast. We adore you. We admire you. I'm a radio nerd. Mitch is a radio nerd. And we've looked up to the two of you for years. That's very kind of you. And funnily enough, when we needed 80s music experts,

you were the first people we thought of. That's in our wheelhouse. That is in our wheelhouse, particularly yours, Brendan. Well, I'm a big 90s. You know what? I really am a big fan of 90s and it's a really small window. It's like 1996 to 1999, just on the cusp of 2000. There was a great era of like the Nickelbacks.

Spice Girls. The Creed. No, I'm talking about Rock. Oh, sorry. My error. I'm talking about the Rock. But Spice Girls were there. But there was, you know, all those sort of like Hell and Bonham and,

you know, all that sort of. Is that when Shania Twain came onto the scene? This is Shania Twain. Shania Twain. That was when she had If You're Not In It For Love, I'm Outta Here. That was her first break-in. What an era. But that's the 90s, though, you're saying.

You want to talk about 80s. Yes, for our 80th episode, we're doing the top five 80s songs. And I'm more 80s because they were my formative dancing years. Were they? Were you at the disco? It wasn't called a disco. I was pre-disco, I think. This was just where we'd go out dancing around the handbags,

but I had my head kind of shaved like a flock of seagulls. And it was all... It was a new wave. The 80s was a new wave. I was the new wave era. Punk was there. Punk was there. And then everyone said, hey, guys, would you mind wearing a ruffled shirt?

Yeah. And that's where we went. And that was the distinction. Got it. All the songs would have been new for you at the time. Because you were on radio. When did you start on radio? I started in 1990

But yeah But I used to work in a disco down the snow Called the Schloss Bar The what? The Schloss Bar Schloss Bar Beg your pardon Can't say that with my lisp

I was the DJ down there Wow And the big song at the time was Chain Reaction By Diana Ross Oh yeah Was that a floor filler? That was a floor filler. Communards, don't lead me this way. It was a massive floor filler. I think when people are drinking in the snow, you know, you could put the seekers on and people would dance. Curiously though, what's it called? Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer.

That came out at that time, but it never really filled the floor. These days it does. Yeah, of course it does. Strangest thing. It's kind of like Daryl Braithwaite, The Horses. The Horses. It had a resurgence many years after it was actually released. And now all these songs are being remixed and we're playing them on our radio station. Very weird.

Strange times. Strange times. So that's why we thought we'd get you in. Are you okay, Jenna, having your bosses? You know, I'm a bit uncomfortable. You should be, Jenna. Jenna just said to me on the weekend Can she take our action figures Amanda calls them dollies

You might have seen them In our TV I have seen them They're great She said can I take them home And film them this weekend I enjoy playing with them What can I say

And mine came back With it's belt loose Sorry Jenna I'm curious That's all She's learning You're doll curious

Yes I've been on this podcast. All right, are we ready? Because I've got my... So we've each brought two songs. So I brought two, Mitch has brought two. Jennifer is the fifth one. She's just gone.

And are these your favourite 80s songs? Yeah. Okay, great. And what would you like us to do? Well, after you've heard them all, you can rank them one to five. You decide the top five in order. So we will begin. This is my first song, so we'll let it play out.

It's before the hook, as we call it in the piece. You haven't queued it up to the hook. The hook! Here we go. All right, yeah. Call me. Come on. Bang it.

You don't have to sing. Such a range. Mitch. I know, isn't he? Call me, call me. You don't have to sing. Call me. Such a range. Mitch. I know, isn't it? So excited to show it off. That's mine. Isn't that brilliant?

I love that song. That's a great song. From the movie American Gigolo. Oh, great film. When she says call me, that was something completely different in the 80s. Home phones. Yeah, that's true. Oh, yeah. But there was one phone in the house and you had to,

we had a code word if you're talking to a boy. It's a, I'm doing the washing up, which meant mum's listening. Right. Oh, really? Hold on. So if you were on the phone in the bedroom, you could hear the conversation in the other room. No, there was no phone in the bedroom.

There was one phone in the middle of the house in a hallway and a phone table. Yep. And you had to sit at that little table for any phone conversation that one could hear. And you had to ask your parents if you could use the phone. Yeah, really. And you'd be 30.

Mum, can I use the phone? No, Betty's phoning, so be quick. Do you find it weird that people's attitudes towards phone calls have changed completely? Because now people just watch their iPhones ring and just choose to ignore it. Home phones, it was like, drop everything. We can't miss this call.

Yeah. And the curious thing is with my friends, and maybe this is a reflection of me, but we'll be talking about something and in the group of people, you'll say, they'll ask your opinion about something. Yeah. And then as soon as you start talking, they'll start scrolling through the phone. Yeah. And people's attention spans has now dropped to about five seconds.

You've got five seconds to get their attention. What was that, sorry? You really lost me, Jonesy. Alright, song number two is still mine. Ready? Yep. Wait for the hit. Or the drop, as we call it.

Jonesy and I use it a little as our Alzheimer's test. We do all the lyrics from beginning to end. Stumble out of bed, stumble to the kitchen, pour myself a cup of ambition. I'm in love, I'm in love. Amanda, your face is dripping. That's palsy, that's different. Oh, sorry. Isn't that a good song?

That's a great song. Yeah. And it still stands Isn't that a good song? That's a great song. Yeah. And it still stands up. Dolly's around. Dolly's still going? Dolly's still going. She's iconic. So they're my two picks.

Wow, I love those. So Brendan's got Brendan. I like it. That's like when you call your dad his first name. That felt very weird. You call the teacher mum. Yeah. I like it.

So what do I do? I just say. No, don't we have to hear all of them first? I've got to hear all of them. Mitchell, do you want to do your little preamble? Cherry picks. Yeah, so my first one, I'm a bit uncertain about it, but it's an Aussie one.

I wanted to throw an Aussie one in there. It's got like a bit of a sentimental background. It was like we had this home video when I was growing up of mum and dad dancing in the lounge room and it was just so wholesome and lovely. Mum had the tea towel in her hand. She'd just taken a brief moment from, you know, being a busy mum to just dance with her husband in the lounge room

and it was to this song. Throw Your Arms Around Me, Hunters and Collectors. Beautiful song. I've got a story for this song too. Do you? Let's get started. I don't want to overtake the singing. That's a good story.

What's your story? Mine is that when my husband, who was my boyfriend at the time, came to my place to propose to me, and he was at the door in a suit and he had a bag with him, and I said, what's happened? Where are you going? And he said, I've just, I need to come in for a second.

And he came in and he opened up the bag and there was a bunch of carnations and a bottle of champagne and he got down on his hands and knees, not on his hands and knees, got down on his one knee and he said, will you marry me? And so I went and put on a bridesmaid's

dress that I'd worn a few months before and we put this song on repeat. And every time I think of this song, I think of that story. And didn't he say to you with the flowers, get used to it? No, that was the first time we ever went out. He bought me a bunch of flowers. He said, get used to them. And I've never had any since.

And he said, well, I meant that bunch. And didn't you have it off in a pile of old wedding dresses? No, I had that bridesmaid's dress on. How many dresses did you have? You've been married multiple times. No, no, no. I just had it off in that dress then. Thanks for all the information.

Just then. Was the song still playing? Was this song still playing? Yeah, probably. Well, it goes for three minutes and 40. It's embarrassing, as you can imagine, taking a bridesmaid's dress to the dry cleaner that's looked like it's been used. The old Lewinsky special.

All right, good pick, Mitchell. That was good. I feel like I've won Amanda over because it's sentimental for her too. And now I do love a ballad, so my other pick is also a big belter. Total Eclipse of the Heart. Oh! I'll be terrified and then I see the look in your eyes. Turn around, bright eyes. Belter, Total Eclipse of the Heart. Oh! Jonesy, you and Amanda could do this, actually.

Oh, this is a banger. This is my karaoke song. Two-fister. Wow. These are great songs. And Rod Stewart could have sung that song. And that could have gone on the road as a tour and presented by Fisherman's Friends or Soothers. Oh, yeah.

Well done, Mitchell. They're good. I feel that my two are going to rank higher than yours, just quietly, Mitchell. I'm a pop radio guy, so that's as pop as it got. My songs were as pop as it got in those times. Fair enough. Far out.

All right, I'm ready. Jenna, are you ready for yours? I am. Here we go. And I think the last one is the best one. I'm not even going to explain it. Just play it. It sells itself.

Play it. Oh, I like this song. Oh, dear. The water boys. The hell is this? Do you not know it? No, hold on. Oh, it's good. The Waterboys. What the hell is this? Do you not know it? No, hold on. Give it some...

Yeah. The Waterboys. No, I've never heard this in my life. Never. You've never heard this song? You're lacking. Exactly. Wow, it's Jenna's old soul coming through.

Yeah. Came like a comet. Oh. You still talking about Amanda's wedding? It's not on the dress. Oh, well done. So who is this? Don't mention Uranus.

The water boys. The water boys. The moon. All right, there we go. You've got all five. All right, you've got them there. Oh, wow. Do you want us to, like, give you time to deliberate?

Yes, please. Are we doing this as an individual? Okay. Oh, wow. I like this. Okay, pull the headphones you time to deliberate? Yes, please. Are we doing this as an individual? OK. Oh, wow. I like this. OK, pull the headphones off. Pretend we're not here. I know what you're going to do.

I'll put it together and then we'll hand that in. That's what you're saying. I'll put it to what you would do. And I would imagine that, to me, is how I'm thinking. That's how it could be with a possibility of that as a change-y. I'm not looking. I'm scared. What do you think?

Yeah. Don't forget the first ones. No. So there we have it. Do you want us to... Can I open my eyes? Yeah, open your eyes. All right, hold on.

We'll do a drum roll, and if you want to announce it. Yeah. Are you going to go five to one? In your best radio voice, five to one. We're going to go five to one. All right, five to open your eyes. All right, hold on. We'll do a drum roll, and if you want to announce it. Yeah. Are you going to go five to one? In your best radio voice, five to one. We're going to go five to one. All right, five to one. Okay. Coming in at number five, as good as it is, it's a bit of an album track,

The Hole of the Moon. No! Jenna, we love that song. We love that song, but the boys, the audience. The other ones ripped us apart. They didn't like it. No! A Total Eclipse of the Heart coming in at number four.

What? Number three. Any other day, that would be number one. Is a cheery pick. Call me Blondie. Yeah, please. It's Saturday. Number two, it's Throw Your Arms Around Me. Oh my god! And number one, it's got to be number four.

Yeah, okay. That makes sense. The streets of London also have me on the job. Uh-oh, they're That makes sense. Oh, it's close. The streets look like a job and girls like me on the job. Uh-oh, they're forgetting the lyrics. Oh, no. It's Alzheimer's test. Oh, you've got it. Oh, it's so good. Have you ever interviewed, I don't want to insult you,

interviewed Dolly Parton? Yes. Was it this year? It was last year. You're kidding. No, it was this year over the Zoom. It was Christmas. Yeah, she had a book out of all those songs.

She printed them in a beautiful book. And we interviewed her and could see her. We did a Zoom thing. It was a highlight of my life. She was so charming. She really is an icon through the years for all the right reasons. The song Islands in the Stream, which is sung with Kenny, was written by Barry Gibb.

Oh. So? Yeah, Mitch. Mitch, do you know who Barry Gibb is? Yeah, of course. Yeah, I'm a Barry Gibb fan. Yeah, who is it? Oh, right, okay.

The Bee Gees. Bee Gees, yeah. So they, he didn't have anyone to, and Lionel Richie was originally going to sing Islands in the Stream. Oh, that would be a very different vibe, wouldn't it? And Lionel said, oh, I want to sing this. And then Barry rang Kenny Rogers. Really?

And said, got someone. That's right. Do you know, could we get Dolly Parton to sing this with you? And he said, well, I'll go and ask her. And Kenny went into the bathroom where Dolly was. And she was in the bath. The point is, he was recording at her studios. It wasn't that they were living together and sharing a toilet.

Yeah, but she was in the bath and he walked in. You're over-egging it now. Islands in the stream. Oh, see, that's a visual joke he's making there. That's true. No, it's great. I think Amanda is the Mitchell and I'm the Jonesy of our show. It's very, I've found the dynamic.

Yeah, that's so true, actually. I'm here too. And where's Jenna? Jenna's playing with the dollies. It's true, actually. Amanda often calls you by your full name. Brendan, I do the same. I'm like, Mitchell.

Scalds. Scalds. Intelligent. I like rules. Intelligent. The cute one. Always in front of you in the foreground of the marketing pictures. It's awful.

It's true. It's my life. I know what you like. It's the hype, guys. You've got to go up the back. Amanda and I have very similar haircuts. We have the marketing pictures, it's awful. It's true. It's my life. I know what you like. It's the hype, guys. You've got to go up the back. Amanda and I have very similar haircuts. We have the same hairdresser, I think. Wow.

I cut Jonesy's. Have you seen the back of it? Have a look. Yeah, look at the back. That was unfortunate. I didn't know a guard was supposed to go on the... It's a thing. Yeah, that's a look in the arm.

It's a brain injury thing. This was so fun for us. What a treat. Thank you for being here. I loved that. Thank you. I was rocked. Why don't we do songs of the 1920s next?

None spring to mind, oddly enough. So many do. I'm going Darktown Strutters Ball. I'm picking the last post. That's my hit. Hey, before we let you go, I wanted to ask one question of you, Amanda. We've got a lot of young listeners, a lot of them female. So I thought let's absorb some Amanda Keller wisdom.

What would you like to know? So let's just pretend you can go back to little Amanda Keller in her 20s. What advice would you give her? I would say just go for it. Don't have any destination in mind. I always felt anxious that I didn't know what I wanted my career to be, what jobs I wanted. And so it's the side doors for me where all the adventure has come.

And that's what I think has given me my 150 million year career or my longevity that I just went sideways a lot. And that saved me, I think. Except in the proposal, the front door. That's where it all came from. And never be rude. That's my other thing. Yeah, right. I've saved me, I think. Except in the proposal. The front door. That's where it all came from. And never be rude. That's my other thing. Yeah, right.

I've got to work on that. Mitchell's career is over then in that case. What about 20-year-old Jonesy? Any advice for him? When that 30-year-old woman puts the hard word on you, when you're 19, take her up on it. Unless she's in a bridesmaid's dress. Unless she's in a bridesmaid's dress.

Can I say one thing very quickly? I know you have to go. But I used to work Shire Boys through and through. And I used to work at Coles in Southgate when I left school. And I worked there and I wanted to get into radio. It was an aspiration of mine. I loved it. But I wasn't in. I had no in. And I was at Coles and my mum said, Jonesy

lives in the Shire. And his wife, I always see her in aisle three. She loves the broad beans. She does love the broad beans. Maybe I'm embellishing. And she said, if you ever get this woman held up an A4 photo, this is Jonesy's wife. You put a hard word on her and you say, I want a job with your husband.

And the day she came through, I packed it in. I knew it was her. I had this visual image of your beautiful wife in my mind and I was there at the checkout. I was 18, scanning her items. High cholesterol diet too, check it. Lots of Metamucil. Lots of Metamucil, yeah.

And I said, I'd love to meet you and you were there at the ATM getting a wad of cash or something. But you were there and I couldn't do it. I was terrified. You should have sent something. I had to tell you something. But you were there and I couldn't do it. I was terrified. You should have done something. Here we are. It came full soon.

Look at that. I had to tell you my mum, I don't know why she knew that you lived in the area or who your wife was but you're a local

myth. A local myth. Blaine Young used to live just down the road. Sorry I missed that.

I said your wife was a mytheth. Are you mocking my list? No. Amanda, what was your number one rule of show business? Be nice?

Say, come on and bully Mitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mitch Dooms. All right. Thank you so much for being here, guys. It was fun. Thank you. It's been amazing.

We love you guys. Thank you. That was great fun. Right. I was robbed, but. You're listening to Is It Just Me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Oh, they were lovely and as nice as Johnson and Mander were,

it is my time to clear my name. The big moment. There's been a lot of suspense. Will Mitch deliver with a big guest to get him out of probation? What have you got for us, darling? Let me tell you. I've worked day in and day out to organise a guest that will not only fulfil the needs to get me off probation,

but to impress not only my co-hosts, but the listeners at home. I've emailed locally, I've emailed abroad. I am now ready and thrilled to announce my guest for the show today. Ladies and gentlemen. Please be Dino. Please welcome to Is It Just Me? The podcast. And I will go down with this ship. You did not get Dino.

It's Hayden. Oh,o. It's Hayden. It's Hayden Hicks and my boyfriend! Oh my god. I've just seen Hayden pop up on the Zoom. Okay, not Dido, but equally exciting. Hello, Hayden. Equally good singing talent, I would say. Hey, hey team!

Hi, welcome! At long last! What the fuck, Mitch? You said that you've been scouting nationally and internationally. You literally just rolled over in bed and said, babe, want to come on the podcast? Don't get me wrong, Hayden, this is not a letdown. And, in fact, Mitch, you did good. Our listeners have been requesting that we get Hayden,

your boyfriend, on the show for a long time. Partner, partner, keep it ambiguous, please. Keep it ambiguous. I know three female Haydens, so, you know, for a long time. Partner, partner. Keep it ambiguous, please. Partner, oh, my God. Keep it ambiguous. I know three female Haydens, so, you know, the audience could still wonder. He has. I get DMs all the time.

Bring your partner on. Bring them on. Bring they on. And I go, shit. Why do you keep being ambiguous? We all know that Hayden's your gay boyfriend whose dick you suck, okay? Oh. You don't need to keep it vague.

Please. Hayden, it's a thrill to have you on the show. Thank you. You told me that you have been nervous. I have nervous to come on in the past because you were worried I might ask invasive questions. So I want to begin by asking if you've ever bleached your asshole. So we're going to begin with Gold Digger. Let's get right into it, team. Great idea. No, because that was the original plan to get Hayden on for Gold Digger. And he was like, what's Gold Digger? Because Hayden famously has never heard an episode of this podcast in his life. Shut the fuck.

No, that's not true. I'm going to clear the air. I have listened. I just don't listen every episode. That's it. Hayden, can I tell you some evidence that I have that you do not listen? And you are what we call in the biz a fake Stan. I listened to the podcast that you and your loving gay fag boyfriend,

Mitch, did together. What's it called again? The Top 100. Yes, I listened to The Top 100, and there was a point where Mitch mentioned John Laws, and you said, who the fuck's John Laws? Yep. If you were a regular listener of ours, that would be no mystery, darling.

Just saying. Yes, no, and I will say this. laws yep if you were a regular listener of ours that would be no mystery darling just saying yes no and and i will say this i was um going through like idjim before i hopped on today just to sort of prepare myself and get a feel of what i was getting myself into and i call myself googley like i'm not googley i went on instagram trying to find who john laws was and i was like i'm just not gonna know i'll give you the tip. Who is it? What is it? Is it an award? What is it? It's a state of mind, a John Laws, really.

It sounds like a Duke of Edinburgh equivalent. Well, yes. John Laws is like the Kyle Sanderlands before Kyle Sanderlands and Kyle, a lot of his inspo is from John Laws. He's on AM. He retired, had a massive fanfare, then came back a month later because he was bored. And so we shit can him slash celebrate him a lot on this show.

And call him. It's called him last week. You know another thing I thought while listening to the Top 100 with you two? I thought all these stories that Hayden's telling from when he was younger, I feel like we would have been best mates. I agree. And so I was like, shit, why am I good friends with Mitch? I've got more in common with Hayden.

What are some of the things that you related to? Did you also stuff like a topless ladies magazine into your showbacks? Oh, yes, I did that. And then there was also being a big fan of all the TV countdowns, like Rage. That was my shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, Mitch, if heaven forbid one day you and Hayden should call it quits, am I still allowed to be friends with him or do I have to choose you in the divorce?

Oh, good point. I think you have to choose me. But I think if we were ever to break up, Hayden, it would be amicable and we'd still be able to go to dinner together. Yeah, I'd like to think so. We're best friends. Aww. I don't think it's ever going to happen, though.

You guys are solid. I don't think it's going to happen. I haven't even entertained the idea that would split up. Why would you bring that up? Hayden, would you want Mitch to propose to you hypothetically or would you ever be the one to do it to him? This is tough. We've discussed this.

So we have discussed this and I have a very specific sort of series of events that I would like to unfold. I would like Mitch to propose to me, but as he does, I happen to have a ring in my back pocket. So we both get a ring at that moment. And I think it'll be very, I think we'll both know that it's coming at, because, you know,

Mitch is a big fan of romantic gestures and I feel like it's going to be like something very like over the top and big. But I also think we both come from families where we're going to ask each other's parents and both of our parents can't lie so i think we're both gonna be able to like work out the situation you have to tell my dad you cannot tell my mom yeah that's what happened with your sister right like your mom couldn't hide shit so like brother-in-law to be my mom was so upset but he only got my dad's blessing because he couldn't trust my mum so he just went to dad which is very fair and I completely agree yeah what was it like Hayden when

you were dating Mitch when he was still in the closet because there was a period there where you guys were kind of like secret boyfriends and he hadn't told his family or anything yeah yeah like it was it was very random I'd never dated anyone before that was still in the closet but um obviously like it's such a traumatic experience like actually coming out and i think that with mitch when i like met him and his family i kind of got it because they're so tight-knit like i've never seen a family that close before and so yeah it was like kind of strange but i just kind of like i don't know i just tried to be as supportive as possible but i kind of feel bad mitch because i feel like like because of our relationship it

almost put you in a position where you had to come out yeah and i felt awful being i needed that and mitch you know me you knew me at the time i was i was just very happy to skate along like i was yeah very i i needed the push and i think that's why it happened really like and yeah most people when they're coming out of the closet would take baby steps. Like they come out, they come to terms with themselves, they come out, they start going on dates. You went from zero to 100.

You were like, I'm straight. And then next minute, I'm in a committed relationship with a man. Yeah, but it's not like – And that relationship is not ending. Yeah. Yes. No, but it's not like I'm a fucking politician. People weren't surprised, you know.

They weren't blown out of the water that I had come out. I think some were surprised, though. Yeah. What about your family? No, my family was shocked. Yeah, they were. Not all of them, but some. And were you already out, Hayden, to your family,

or did you have to come out as well? No, I was already out. I'd been out for a couple of years. I came out to my mom in like year 12 um because i started to actually i started to build up like my friend group and i was like becoming friends with a lot of girls i went to an all boys private school so like that was sort of the first time i really got to find who i was was like actually hanging out with with girls and because i was doing like the musical anyway um that should have been sign one um yeah I remembered I was um I was worried to come out to my mom as every kid would be worried to come out yeah um so I took my mom to um Chatswood Chase shopping center and I told her that I was bi in the food court and I remember thinking I want to

do it in a public place because i if she gets mad i don't want her to like yell which is a very very like sad thing to think about but she was very lovely and very quickly after i came out to her um she like my the school counselor who i was seeing at the time told me that my mom had reached out to her to like work out the best possible way that she could like be supportive me. So very sweet. It was a good coming out. Isn't that nice? Yeah, it's one of those things where it's more daunting in the lead up

than the actual reality in many cases. Like Mitch, your family wouldn't have flipped out or anything even though it was daunting to come out. Oh, it was not a positive point in my life, but they were fine after a good month or two, but it took them time. Yeah, it took my family time too, but they didn't fucking kick me out you know what i mean no no no no but hayden's right my family are very close they weren't upset that i was gay i've got two gay uncles but they were upset that i had not told them i just took that very personally how long had you and hayden been dating in secret before you came out? It was like a couple of months, I think, because I knew.

I was one of the privileged ones that knew. Like a month and a half? No, well, it was October that we started talking and then I didn't come out until February. No, no, no. I think you came out in January because you came out like the second we got home from our Melbourne holiday. Oh, my God.

Oh, that's right. You went on a secret trip. I haven't told this. This story is hellish. Oh, my God. Oh, that's right. You went on a secret trip. I haven't told this. This story is hellish. Oh, you haven't told this story on this podcast before? No, I've never told this story, Hayden, and part of me still thinks it's too soon. This story, this was the worst moment of my life.

Now, I had come out, Hayden, because Mum knew that I was gay, but she didn't know that I was going away. So what happened was I'd come out. Oh, no, I came out in December, the week before Christmas, because mum said, you could have waited until after Christmas and stormed out. Why? Yeah.

Oh, let's not go into it. She's amazing. And it was just the period. Anyway. You're like, mum, it's very festive. I'm a ho, ho, ho. Anyway, I came out like early December and then Hayden and I were still talking and then we wanted to go on a holiday and I had time off from radio. So Hayden and I book a trip, secret trip that Mitch knew about going to Melbourne together.

And we were official. We were dating. And I told my mum and my dad that I was going alone and that I was seeing some friends, some radio friends, and it was going to be great. But instead you were bloody stabbing one up your secret boyfriend the whole time. Instead I blocked my family on social media, on stories, and then continued to have a trip like normal.

And I almost got away with it except my mum was out with her best friend at dinner in Cronulla in the Shire and mum was like, oh, Mitch is in Melbourne. Her best friend was like, oh, yeah, I've seen all his posts. He looks like he's having a great time because I forgot. Oh, yeah, that's right. You forgot to block the best friend. I forgot to block the best friend, Anne Turner, shout out.

And I was like, oh, Hayden and I were having the best time. And then mum goes, oh, really? Let me have a look. Let me have a look at some of those, some of the photos you put up. And I'd sent mum photos of me in the MoMA, in the museum, right? And there was like a funny backdrop. And also on my story, I tagged Hayden. And on his profile, he'd uploaded a photo with the same backdrop.

So mum went, oh, that boy is at the same place that Mitchell's at. And we put two and two together. But then, clock this right, the waiter at the restaurant. That your mum was at. Comes up and goes, welcome, ladies. Yeah, the restaurant mum was at. Welcome, ladies, to Alphabet Street Cronulla. So great to have you, Chucky babies.

So good to see you. Oh, my God. Who are you looking at on your phone? And it was Hayden. So with the waiter, he sounds like a bit of a mo himself. He's gay. Yes. Iconic Sydney gay.

He's gay. We love him. And they're stalking Hayden's profile. Haven't really worked it out yet, but they're kind of sus. And he goes, oh, my God, how do you know Hayden Hickson? And my mum and Anne go, oh, we don't. No, we don't. Do you?

We don't. We're just on his Instagram. He's in Melbourne. And mum went, yeah, he's in Melbourne, I think. And this guy went, yeah, he is in Melbourne. Mum went, do you know who he's there with? And Andrew went, yeah, he's there with his, I think his new boyfriend. Ooh.

Penny drop. Yeah. And then this guy, I think, realised what he had done. And then he sent a message to Hayden going, hi, is your boyfriend out? Is your boyfriend's mum? Does she live in Cronulla? Is your boyfriend, is, is your boyfriend out? Is your boyfriend's mum? Does she live in Cronulla? Is your boyfriend, is he out of the closet? Is your boyfriend's mum there?

And then mum, to spite us, sent me a photo of her and the waiter, a selfie, going, can't wait to meet this mystery boy. Very passive aggressive. And that's how she found out about Hayden. I remember after that, Mitch, you called me and you were like, fuck. Oh, yeah. That was horrific. And then when I came back, mum was so mad.

It was an awful period. Yeah, we don't like to relive it. Let's move on. No, because we've moved past it and mum's so good now. But it was just, you know. Yeah, there are no issues now. But, you know, it's always a bit prickly during that fun period, especially when you keep secrets. I know.

Actually, question for you. Mitch tells us the story often about the first time you actually met face to face. We know that you met on Tinder and he stalked the perimeter of your university like some predator. Yes, yes, yes. Trying to match you desperately. Very romantic story. I wasn't in a trench coat.

But the moment that you actually came face to face for the first time, he tells it in a very romantic way mitch zip your lips for a bit i want to hear hayden's perspective and see if they match because we know you're a bit of an embellisher at times hayden read the script read the script i've just sent you and you'll be fine oh look i will say i feel like me when mitch tells stories he embellishes a shitload and i feel like sometimes i'm like this like like none of this is true. Like we've literally dialed it up at least 70%. But I will say the first time we met was legitimately like something out of a movie. And like I had never experienced anything like that before, which is probably why I was so infatuated with you.

But yeah, he's right. Like we would it was just a regular day. We were we were just messaging. Suddenly, we just kind of felt like we needed to see each other um and you know like i mean from my perspective i was just lying in my bed just really hoping that i could see this guy and i was kind of hoping that when i messaged him he was like around in the area because i knew obviously he worked at kiss um but yeah like you know mitch just lets me know that he'll be like at mine in five minutes. I start to freak out.

And I like, not going to lie, had a bit of a boner. And I was like, I hope this goes down by the time he arrives at my house. Mitch, were you freaking out as well? And did you crack a fat as well? I've told you I was freaking out. And I put lip balm on, but it was menthol that I had to wipe it off. Then my lips were red. And then I drove over a medium strip and dented the front of my

car all because I wanted it to be like a movie. None of that had to happen. And then it was a drive by Pash, right? Yeah. It was legitimately one of the most like shocking and surreal moments in that like, I just walk up to the car, like here's this very handsome guy. Mitch, get some romantic music. Oh God, okay.

Keep talking, Hayden. Yeah, and just, you know, this Volkswagen, like, oddly shaped pulls up. And, you know, Mitch rolls down the windows. I'm fairly sure he's got this, like, cool boy glasses on. And I could tell that he was, like, very much trying to be cool and be suave. But in reality, it was just this, like, loser putting on a bit of a front, kind of like. Yeah. Like, now you know him so intimately.

You know that he's not cool. He would have been a nervous, sweaty boy. But hey, he faked it till he made it. And didn't he make it darling yeah absolutely you know when people like you know who are nervous at the end of like you know a zoom call they're like uh no like when they're like ordering food or whatever and they say like they say enjoy your meal and they're like you too it was like that exact energy when after mitch kissed me like he kissed me and then it was like i'm going i'm going, I'm going.

Like, rolls up the window, tries to be coy. I've got to go, see ya. And it's just like, I was like, I've got somewhere to be. The window went up. And so it's literally, Mitch, you can tell that you're like a showbiz guy because you did that old showbiz rule, leave them wanting more. You just like wound down the window, quick pash, and then off you fucked.

And then Hayden's there like, I need more. Yeah, yep. Because I had a meeting with the bosses because my show was about to launch and I honestly thought I was going to be late. And I was like 20 minutes early. Do you have a show? This is first love. This is a very exciting moment.

Wow. Anyway. It was really exciting. It's a very lovely story. Wow. Anyway. It was really exciting. It's a very lovely story. Also, how cute that you guys met on Tinder and you're still going strong. It gives me hope that after this lockdown, once I'm able to go on Tinder dates again, I might actually have some luck. I've heard quite a few Tinder success stories, to be honest.

I don't hear any horror stories from Tinder. In fact, I know a lot of couples that have met and actually successfully have a relationship now after meeting on Tinder. Oh, I've heard both. There's definitely some horror stories from Tinder. In fact, I know a lot of couples that have met and actually successfully have a relationship now after meeting on Tinder. Oh, I've heard both. There's definitely some horror stories. Not because of Tinder, but you know, we've all had shitty dates. I certainly have. Yeah, very true.

But like I thought, oh, I'll never meet a couple that succeeded on Tinder. Then it happened to me and then I met other people in the real world. I'm like, well, there you go. We should do a segment on that. Like anyone listening who has a Tinder fail or a Tinder triumph, hit us up. Like a Tinderella sort of thing. Or what if we call it Tinder fails and fairy tales.

There we go. You're rhyming tales. Oh, I love it. Fails and fairy tales. What, we'll get people on that have done well and have been killed almost on Tinder. We want both stories. Oh, I don't want to hear about attempted murders.

Just like crappy Tinder dates. They can't all be amazing, you know. Anyway, sorry, Hayden. We were just having a brainstorm. Where were we? He's not here to talk about our love inception and the story of that. Yeah, when do I get to say my idjams? Because I made a list.

Oh, you've come with an idjam prepared. Yeah, well, this is the thing. Mitch was like, okay, you need to tell me your Ijem Before you go on, because I've got to make sure it's good We've been hyping this up for such a long time No, no, no, I haven't No, I haven't approved these, I haven't seen these, Hayden No, he hasn't seen them, but I don't

Like, I have a few here, but I don't Think any of them are, like, good enough Oh my god, Hayden, why don't you Send them to Jenna, and we can do A Jenna's Junk of of yours yeah let's do it let's do it send them to jenna send them to jenna now if it's just if you've written them just send her a photo and then you can explain them i'll send it to you on facebook jenna so what was it like hayden by the way doing a podcast with mitch because I know that it can be like walking on fucking hot coals some days so how did you go doing this I will say it went surprisingly well and as I say that I know that

it Mitch is freaking out because he's like shot like I think he's annoyed that I was shocked that it went really well but as I was trying to explain to him before like we know it's covid right like we're not seeing anyone else like we only see each other pretty much um and i feel like we kind of have our own like love language thing where we keep calling each other nicknames we keep being really silly and i was kind of like oh we're gonna be able to put on like a podcast where we're not you know being like you know silly how we are i know there was a point early in the episode where Hayden, you said, oh, so anyway, Mitch. And he goes, did you just call me Mitch?

And Hayden's like, we're on a podcast. I can't call you baby. Yeah. Yeah, literally. We have so many nicknames that I had to refrain. I was very excited to do it. But for me, it was like, fuck, I do the show every night because I have a radio show.

And I do this podcast. Do ya? And all I ever fucking do is sit behind a mic. So when Hayden was like, let's do this, let's do this. I'm like, no, that's like getting a Coles deli worker to go in on the weekend and shave some Devon. They don't want to do it. No, but I'm very thankful you did it, Midge. I thought it was really good, can I just say?

Aw, thank you. That's very sweet. I keep going to call it the hottest 100. Can you please plug it correctly? Go, Hayden. It's the hot 100. No, it's not! No, that's not it! Oh! The top 100. It's the top 100. Oh, Mitch

obviously slid the top in there, didn't he? I wish a hundred for us. You're really just trying to come and shit on our top five segment, aren't you, Hayden? We've just finished and you're like, well, I see your top five and I raise you top 100. No, the plan is, so it'll be the top 100 and we've done, what have we done, Hayden?

Moments in Australian culture. But around Halloween we'll do top 100 spooky movies or top 100, I don't know, scary moments. Or at Christmas we can do top 100 Christmas cakes or whatever. But I think what we failed to realise is there aren't, like, a good 100 things. Of many things. Of many things.

Top 100 cracker brands. Once you get through Vital Wheat and Krusket, you really. Oh, darling, I struggle with the top five half the time. Yeah. Yes. And Kruskett, you really. Oh, darling, I struggle with the top five half the time. Yeah. Yes. Anyway, you can go and listen to iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. Jenna, have you reviewed the so-called shit-idgums from Hayden?

Are we going to choose the best one or are we going to do all three? These do not belong in my junk. They are fantastic, especially the first one. All right, well, let's do it as we normally do. We'll roll the intro. Let's take a peek at Jenna's junk, shall we? All right. Go for it. Hayden's junk is no foreign sight to our Mitch Chury,

but we're going to be taking a peek today. Very true. Jenna, be very delicate with it, all right? It's very sensitive. Hayden, Jenna will read them and then you justify them after and you discuss them, okay? Okay, cool. Ooh.

This is good, unlike what we usually get. Is it just me or is getting your driver's license overrated? Don't agree. I completely agree. Thank you. Thank you. I think that, and the reason why I say this, I know that it's a stereotype that gay people can't drive,

but I will say that I want to double down on my inability to drive by saying that Mitch always complains about petrol. He complains about parking permits. He complains about like rego, whatever that is. And so I just feel like it's so much better to just Uber everywhere. No, you've got a point actually, because every time I say to Mitch, oh, are you going to be getting like fucked up tonight?

And he goes, no, I'm driving. And I was like, get Hayden to drive for once. And he has to remind me Hayden doesn't drive. And I was like, you guys are not exactly living in a shit house. I know you've got dollars. Pay for an Uber. Grow up. I will say that's, I feel like that's the only downside to not being able to drive.

It's like if I were to get my license tomorrow, it's not because I will be driving places. It's literally so that like I can take some of the load off with Mitch when it comes to driving places. Oh shit. Your plan was to pay for every third tank of petrol. And even your mom even said you can put it on her visa that you have in your Apple Pay. But I feel like I don't need to do that since I'm not going anywhere. I still am and I pay for it. Did you even get your L's, Hayden?

This is the thing. I got my L's and I did all the hours. And by doing all the hours, I did half the hours but fudged the rest. I went for my P's. Apparently, I almost hit someone. I don't believe it. I failed. The second time I did my P's test, I drove over an island.

So it was like immediate fail 20 minutes in. And ever since I told everyone at school that I failed my P's test twice and got bullied for it, I have been too scared to drive. Yeah, but it's been years since high school, Jalyn. Those battle scars have well and truly healed. Yeah, but it's been years since high school, Jalyn. Those battle scars have well and truly healed. You can do it. And you've got a brilliant live-in driving coach, Mitchell

Turi. Yes, that's true. That's true. Look, the scars may have healed, but in reality, my L's have expired, and so I'll have to get my L's again. She's backing. That was a good agent. Is it just me or is having to wee 17 times a day kind of endearing?

And I will say I've needed to go to the bathroom since we started recording, but I've held it in. You're one of those types that always needs to go to the bathroom. And not only that, this is going back to the driving thing. You'd always be saying to Mitch, babe can we pull over yeah yeah oh no seriously when we got our first vaccine um because you know how they tell you have to drink a lot of water before you like get the vaccine i was drinking liters of it because i was freaking out um and so we arrive at sydney olympic park after what a 20 minute drive mitch and i have to pee so

badly he just drops me off at this nearby bush meanwhile people are lining up to get their vaccine and I'm just trying to hide in and duck and piss into this little bit of shrubbery. Even some anti-vaxxers are like, I'll get the vaccine if it means I can not look at this again. Meanwhile, I can hold on to a piss for three to four days. I reckon I could too. Seriously.

Yeah. I've never been able to relate to people who talk about having no control over their anus or their bladder. Same. If I need to go, I can stop it. Same. 100%. Oh, classic Hayden.

Is it just me or are the Spice Girls more important than the Beatles? I mean, yeah, I'm with you. I feel like I can talk about this for the rest of the podcast. Well, you've got 30 seconds. So it's best to cut me off now. Okay, well, I'll just say the Beatles, I can't listen to a single song of theirs. I think it's very cringe. We don't love to support straight white men in 2021.

So we will not be streaming those old people some of which have died i feel like i hate that the beatles half of it is in one ear and half of it are in the other that's cringe the sparkles on the other hand too yeah what do you mean in one ear out the other it's like when you listen to the song sometimes the music is in the left of the instrumental is in your left ear and the voices are in the right. And it's such a head fuck. Why do they do that? Because it was like them experimenting at the time

of like split, like it was experimental basically. They would put some guitars on the left, some guitars on the right. So you'd sort of feel in the centre of the music, I think was the aim. Yeah. But it was cringe. Unlike Say You'll Be There,

the second single by the Spice Girls. Time's up. Time's up. Thank you, Hayden. Jenna, You'll Be There, the second single by the Spice Girls. Time's up. Time's up. Thank you, Hayden. Jenna, is there any more, Jo? Yes. Is it just me or do you hate room temperature liquids? Oh, yes.

Really? I agree. If it's not freezing cold or boiling hot, I don't want to know. I feel like I only ever drink boiling water or water that has ice in it. I hate room temperature anything. It's the bane of my existence because, Hayden, as you know, we can't have showers together. Yeah, it's legitimately a problem.

Because of the Bible. Because of our modesty belts. We can't get them wet. I have really sensitive skin. I have a skin condition, but also from the Roaccutane from when I was a pimply kid, my skin is so sensitive. What's Roaccutane? It gives you acne and severe depression.

Did you not have it, Coombs? No, I've got no idea what Roaccutane is. He was in Bougainvillea. There was no humidity to give him acne. It sounds like a South African village, Roaccutane. My God. I remember the day I came off Roaccutane my god i remember the day i came off roaccutane and i was like oh i'm happy like i like didn't realize i was depressed

for all the time that i was on the fucking oh yeah roaccutane can permanently change the chemicals you i saw a tiktok someone being like if you're an anti-vaxxer but you had roaccutane grow the fuck up because the symptom list for Roaccutane is through the roof. It's really dangerous, especially for young minds. Oh, I thought I had it bad because my proactive bleached all the towels, but that sounds awful. Oh, no.

Yeah, we had that too. I went through that. Proactive, is it just me, but is proactive shit? You would run through the blue one like there was no tomorrow and then you'd have months left of three. Yeah, ruin pillowcases. And step one, which was meant to be the exfoliator, it literally felt like I was rubbing shards of glass into my skin.

Yeah. I know, I remember. And when you call one of those numbers on those stupid advertorials for proactive, the woman on the phone would say, And when you call one of those numbers on those stupid advertorials for Proactiv, the woman on the phone would say, by the way, step one, two and three are going to give you a horrific rash, so you're going to want to buy the moisturiser as well. They would upsell it by shit canning their own product.

And they were right. Without the moisturiser, I looked like a fucking tomato. Yeah, terrible. Oh, Jenna's got more. Is it just me or can you not get to sleep without listening to ASMR? Huh? Anyone? No. That's a you thing.

Damn it. I just feel like my mind when I try and go to sleep is racing and I need something to focus on. So I listen to ASMR or like rain sounds or whatever. Yeah, I mean, I definitely fuck with sleep time meditations or that luminate app that i made mitch use that replicates an lsd troop with the flash on your phone you made no sorry you made me hold up the phone like an arms length away from mitch's head so that he could fully relax into it while i was just trying at home mitch yeah i told you i used it. I love Luminate.

And you made fucking Hayden hold it, you piece of shit. Yeah, for 25 minutes. And I said, not until I fall asleep can you move. Well, this is the peril of being single. I have to hold my own. I'm with you, Hayden. I definitely can use other stimulus to put me to sleep, but not ASMR. It's fucking creepy.

I'm going to crank my mic up. Hello. Hi. Oh, no. Hayden, pump your mic up and take that sock off. That mic is incredible. Go. Do some now.

Hello. Hello, sir. Hello, ma'am. Welcome to the hotel. Would you like fresh towels? Would you like me to change the sheets thank you pa see you later all right there you go well thank you hayden all right mitch's turn okay i'm gonna crank this sock up the mic's up hi thank god hair salons are open again Am I right?

It's been so long since we've seen each other Oh honey, they split in Don't worry baby, I'll sort that out Oh God I'll sort that out with the scissors There we go Oh, that looks much nicer. You don't look like a fucking wildebeest anymore, hello.

There we go. Thank you for coming to Mitchell's Salon. Love you. How's that? That was actually soothing. So good. I'd listen to that. See?

Or I'm just so desperate for a haircut because I'm really overgrown. It looks fine, honey. All right. Well, we should wrap. What a brilliant guest Hayden Wise. Oh, thanks. It's not what I was expecting, but it was a treat nonetheless, Hayden. We've wanted to get you one for a while.

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Does this mean that I have officially left probation? Oh, it was like the challenge was, oh, you have to book a guest. And it's like, did you try hard to get Hayden? Not really. But also, that doesn't mean it was bad content. Actually, Mitchell, can you leave the room?

I'm going to have to consult with my 2IC, my second in charge, Prizekeeper Jenna. Oh, Jenna decides. Do I have to leave? I could just sit here. No, go take your headphones off so you can't hear me. Hayden, don't answer any of their questions. Jenna, what do you think?

Joey! Jenna, do you think that he deserves a past probation? You know, it will. Like, Hayden, you're Jenna, do you think that he deserves a past probation? You know, it will. Like, Hayden, you're great, but you're not Dido. No, you're not. I'm not. You're right. Nor am I, and nor is Jenna.

No, none of us are. None of us will be as good as Dido. But you know what? You are a great guest, and... Aw. If it was anybody else, I would say no. I'm going to say yes. He can go back on probation any time though. Oh, make no mistake.

I'll demote the bitch at the drop of a hat, but we'll bring him out of probation for now. I wish that he was here to play a celebration sound effect because this feels like an anticlimax. Yep, he's out of probation. Hurry up. Can't wait to hear the verdict. All right.

Where did Bill land? Yeah. We did it? Yeah. Yeah, you passed. Yay! You passed probation. Yep.

I'm out! Yeah. Well done, honey. Something that never existed in the first place. Don't I'm out. Yeah. Well done, honey. Something that never existed in the first place. Don't get too comfortable. Why? Just don't. I'll put you back in there like the bitch you are.

Don't worry. Mitch, I'm so proud of you. You got out. Shut up. Don't play into it. We've had that conversation before. All right, Hayden, what a pleasure it was. A celebratory moment. Episode 80, Hayden Hickson pleasure it was. A celebratory moment.

Episode 80, Hayden Hickson's premiere. What a great show. Thanks, guys. Thanks for having me on. It's been very fun. Happy lockdown, Hayden. Both of us working from home. Yeah.

Thank you for listening. If this is your first time listening, Jesus Christ, that would have been confusing. But thank you for pushing through. Leave us a review, five stars. Hayden, is that what you said to Mitch the first night that you were intimate? Thank you for pushing through. Leave us a review, five stars. Hayden, is that what you said to Mitch the first night that you were intimate? Thank you for pushing through.

Oh, right. Thank you for pushing through. Thank you for having me. Oh! Thank you. Come again. Oh, God. Alright, we good to go? Yep, we're good to go. Happy 80th everyone. Happy 80th, everyone. Happy 80th.

Love you, Hayden. Thank you for coming on, Hayden. Have some hope. See you next week, everybody. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of Mitches. Make sure you hit follow on your podcast app. Welcome to A to D Brief. This is our secret segment on the end.

If we've got a guest host on, we boot them out. If we sense that they don't know about the secret segment on the end. If we've got a guest host on, we boot them out. If we sense that they don't know about the secret segment, but if they are aware of the secret segment, we let them stay. So Hayden, hello. Oh, hello. Can I just say, I miss when Enduring Idiots was called ADD Brief. Eh? Wasn't it called that at the start?

No. If you want to join it, Enduring Idiots on Facebook, because people don't even know it's there. It's a secret Facebook group for big fans. Yeah, it's very fun. I really enjoy it. You know what, Mitchell? I wanted to bring something to the table now that I'm a fully fledged 50% owner of the company.

I never said that. Should we instill someone, and I even think we can make it content for the podcast, we can hold auditions. Employ, unpaid, employ a moderator for Enduring Idiots. No, that's a dreadful idea. Why? That's stupid. I'm just kidding.

I'm just kidding. I see where you're coming from, but I am worried that the power will go to their head and they'll just go blocking and banning bitches and then we'll get complaints, much like when contraceptive diaphragm Sam edited certain birthday messages out of mine and people were bitching and moaning. Oh, they're manic complaints.

Oh, God, someone called me a turncoat. I went, what do you mean? That was Sam's call. I put all of your messages in. There were no cuts when it was your birthday, but apparently there were some missing from mine. I don't have the power to edit it. All I did was rally them up and then Sam, I think he tried to time the video to the music of Shania Twain.

So he just went, no, we have 30 more, but it doesn't fit. Bye. And left them. No. Oh, my God. So that's my worry is that we will employ some rat to be our moderator. Let's say her name's Madison. And then we'll get this flood of complaints which we then have to

moderate Madison blocked me for no good reason and I'll just be like fucking hell but that's the thing we hold auditions on the show we get them on they plead their case we give them scenarios and they tell us what would happen we go Bob from from Wilcannia post a racist meme. Do you A, accept? Do you B, decline? Or do you C, block Rob? It sounds like the driver's license L's test. Yeah. Yeah. I've done it three times.

I agree. I think you guys should get a moderator, partially because I want you both to start going live on TikTok. And it's good to have a moderator moderating comments there. Yeah, Hayden, I don't think we have discussed this on the show, but Hayden works at TikTok now. Have I said that on the show? Yeah, no, you've mentioned it. You've said that Hayden works at TikTok.

I might have made the sly remark about, oh, you're on them TikTok dollars now, so you're good. We do. We do love pivoting away to tech companies for money. Yes, yes. Yes, exactly. Did you know, Hayden, i know you're not a regular listener of ours but your name does come up a lot it's quite cute actually you're not even the point

of the story but if mitch is ever telling a story it's always like he'll he'll never say oh so i went to the supermarket he'll say oh so i was at the supermarket with hayden it's like your name is just constantly floating around in the show that's so sweet that's very sweet i do feel like i expect it though just because mitch and i like mitch is literally 90 of my world and and it's and i assume it's the other it's oh wait that wasn't meant to be that sweet i mean it's just meant to be that we spend so much time with each other that we automatically are the characters in the stories. But that's very sweet. Yeah, it's sweet.

What can you do, guys, to be honest? What can you do? I can see you clicking away there. What are you doing? I'm timing out Melbourne. You look very focused. Fuck Melbourne. They're all in lockdown.

No one's listening. My actual, my actual, say it with me. Radio show. Radio show. Is airing very soon. I have to time out. No one gives a shit. Why am I telling this story?

Well, should we go then? No, no, no. I think we should get a moderator and I think we should do the moderator games. I like the audition part. Yeah, the moderator games. Yeah, me too. And we start with, say say six and i'm going to open it up now mitch i can organize it don't worry you have to lift a finger if you would like to

enter the army first annual moderator games dm us on instagram or me or Mitch or Jenna or Facebook, however you want to do your content. And let us know. We need six tributes. Is that what it is? Six tributes. Watch us half of the Hunger Games.

May the odds be ever in your favour. May the odds be ever in your favour. And in the coming weeks, you will be auditioned on the air and the winner will become the moderator of our secret Facebook group, Enduring Idiots. Wow. That's got a bit of the last post to it. Yeah, Anzac Day vibes

for sure. See, we take him off probation and he gets a bit fucking cocky. He does. This always happens. Oh, I just reinstalled the live tweets module and we got a tweet saying By the way, can I just say that

I noticed that the stupid live tweet gag and the gunshot made an appearance in the Top 100 podcast. I noticed that. Probably, yeah. It's a through line. And Hayden didn't laugh either. Fuck off. What did you use the gun for?

I would have laughed. So much. I don't think I did. Anyone who hasn't listened to the Top 100 podcast yet, you can actually turn it into a drinking game. Oh, how? How so? Go give it a listen.

Please try, Gus. And take a sip every time they into a drinking game. Oh, how? How so? Go give it a listen. Please try, Gus. And take a sip every time they give a shout out. Because quite frankly, they couldn't go more than two fucking sentences without giving a shout out. What do you mean? I was fucked by the end of the night. It was like, anyway, so I walked down to the street.

Shout out to the street. And the sky was blue. Shout out to blue. And I went to Macquarie Centre. Shout out to Macquarie Centre. Shout out to Macquarie Centre. That is Hayden's vernacular. That is how he speaks. That's literally my diction.

Oh, my God. Shout out to diction. If Hayden were to give a eulogy, he would shout out the dead grandma. I would. Shout out to the ashes. Shout out to the finger sandwiches at the reception. It's 12 o'clock at the local RSL. My favourite one was when you gave a shout out to the finger sandwiches at reception. It's 12 o'clock at the local RSL. My favourite one was when you gave a shout out to Pixar

because you were so thankful that they filmed Finding Nemo in Sydney. And I was like, also, they didn't film Finding Nemo just quietly. I don't know if you were across it. You were like, shout out to Pixar for filming Finding Nemo in Sydney. And I was like, oh, my God. Shout out to Nemo for his acting performance. That's brilliant. Nemo was great.

Nemo served trauma when he got stuck in that filter in the tank. Shout out to the filter. Shout out to the filter. Also, you both got the address wrong. It's P Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. What did we say? 33, I think. You said 33.

Mitch said 110. I don't fucking know. Hayden, we should be transparent. We were both quite drunk recording that. Yeah. Really? Yeah, because I was a bit nervous and I was like, I'm just going to have a bit of alcohol.

Also, we did it in the Kiss studios pre-lockdown. So we were like, here was a whole thing. So we're like, let's crack. And the beer fridge was open. So we had some alcohol. It was good. It was actually a really fun recording. It's actually a nice way to get to know your partner and also to put you through your paces.

I think that came through. It sounded really fun. And you also learnt new things about each other. There were stories that came up that you guys hadn't heard before. I think if you can do, this is a very 2021 moral, but if you can do a podcast with your partner without killing each other, you know you're onto something good. It's the new if you can travel with your partner. That's what it is.

If you can start a podcast with your brother. All right, little bro. Nope, that's awful. Stepbrother, I'm stuck in the dryer. I'm pretending I'm a psychologist now. Mitch has no brothers, and so Hayden is like the brother he never had. Hayden, we could invite Mitchell Coombs and Jenna Benson on to co-host an episode of The Top 100.

Really? I would love that. Can I just say, I think it would be amazing, and just from a producer perspective, if we could all bring 25 or something and put it together and have 100, i think it would be amazing and just from like a producer perspective if we could all bring 25 or something and put it together and have 100 i think that'd be really good no no the joy of the top 100 um jenna and mitchell is that we were working on it for months weeks before and we worked out the order and we sat and went out so we'll have to get dinner or drinks we all bring 25 and then we have to order it ourselves and all be happy with the order.

Hayden, Hayden, tell me the truth. Did you do most of the work? Oh, fuck yeah. A hundred percent. It's time to go, everyone. I will say I was already working on the list because I like when I, this was when I was like working at Punky and I like needed a fucking like a bank of just really random moments in Australian culture that I could just fall back on to like do

you know throwback articles right um so I already had a giant list going um and it was just about padding that out and then cutting it down once we got past 100 but yeah no you got past 100 wow yeah we passed 100 and then cut back, so the whole 100 was good. Yeah, wow. But we shouted them out in honourable mentions, like fairy breath and stuff. Oh, I know you shouted them out. Don't worry. No one would.

We should go, just because I have a celebrity psychic waiting in the car park. Radio show. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, radio show. Leave us a review. Five stars, please, guys. It keeps us going. Well done, Hayden.

Mitchell, you happy? Thank you. Yeah, lovely to. Well done, Hayden. Mitchell, you happy? Thank you. Yeah, lovely to have you on, Hayden. Yes, you're out of probation, darling. Yay. Hope this podcast, mate, gets rid of your headache or something. What's the tagline, Mitchell? Everyone, bring it down a notch.

We hope this podcast made you feel at least 2% better today. That's all. Thanks for listening. That's a goal. DM us if you want to be part of the monologue. Thank you, Hayden. See you next week. Bye.

Bye, guys. Is it just me? A podcast by a couple of mitches. Make sure you've hit follow on your podcast app.
