Is it just me?
A podcast by a couple of mitches.
Hello guys.
How are we all?
Oh, season one is done.
Done and dusted.
You sound defeated.
I feel like that's a triumph.
35 bloody episodes down.
I know, I feel like packed to the rafters.
Get one good season out and then the best bits are still to come.
Well, some would argue, yes, season two onwards is the best.
Yes, season one of shows are woeful.
Well, we did ask people to send in some favourite moments from our show during its first season
and there were actually some submissions.
So there you go.
It can't have been too bad, right?
They surprised me too.
They're like, my favourite moment was when you said X, Y and Y.
How do you remember that?
I thought that was shit.
But anyway.
Me too.
We've got plenty of best bits to get through today.
For anyone who hasn't heard our podcast ever in their lives, how does it work?
Well, basically, we start the show the same way every single week with something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate.
It's called the Is It Just Me?
We both have one and we've never heard each other's before we say them.
It's a total surprise. I get a bit nervous because I like to be prepared, but you've forced me to become a bit more spontaneous because we come in here not knowing what the other is going to say.
And sometimes we can start in one place and go a little bit off course,
go on weird tangents.
And this best bit-idgum from episode 11 that we're going to listen to
is a perfect example of that.
Oh, my God.
I literally was sitting at home, had a bowl of cornflakes.
It was 11.30 at night.
It was my second dinner.
And I saw an ad come on TV that confused the hell out of me.
Anyway, here it is.
Take a listen.
There's one breakfast that's unbeatable for protein.
It beats porridge.
It beats muesli.
It beats baked beans.
In fact, when it comes to protein, it beats all these breakfasts.
It's eggs, of course.
Unbeatable.
It's eggs, of course.
That's not a brand. Oh, right. It's eggs, of course. That's not a brand.
Oh, right.
It's eggs.
Oh, so they didn't have any particular brand of egg in mind.
It was just eggs.
Yeah.
I'll play it again.
I didn't even notice that there was no brand mentioned.
There's one breakfast that's unbeatable for protein.
It beats porridge.
It beats muesli.
It beats baked beans.
In fact, when it comes to protein, it beats all these breakfasts. It's porridge. It beats muesli. It beats baked beans. In fact, when it comes
to protein, it beats all these breakfasts. It's eggs, of course.
Unbeatable.
Of course, you fucking idiot.
Oh my God. Is this like those random ads you see that are just like bananas? There's no
brand of banana in particular.
Yeah, they had the campaign of like snack on a banana instead of a candy bar and it
was a banana in a chocolate wrapper.
So how do these random objects get advertising budget?
I had the same thought about that bloody get some pork on your fork campaign.
Remember they were trying to get everyone to eat more pork
and there was no brand?
I was just like, who's paying for this?
Yeah.
Imagine being the lobby behind eggplants.
Oh, our image is ruined.
The gays have taken it.
Can you Google who...
I don't even know what to Google.
Who pays for the egg ad?
Yeah, Google that, please.
Okay, I'll Google who pays for the egg ad.
You're not Siri.
That's so weird.
Repeat the question back.
You're like, is it just meant to generate a rancor about how good are eggs?
Literally.
You're at the pub with your mate Tim.
Hey, Tim, how good are eggs? Literally. You're at the pub with your mate Tim. Hey, Tim, how good are eggs?
They're unbeatable.
I went through a period where I was having boiled eggs on toast for breakfast every morning.
Really?
For breakfast.
I was having to boil them the night before and it just became too much work.
If you have eggs every day for like six months, you do start to go off the taste.
Yeah.
Was that on Katy Perry's story or did she post that one to Twitter?
I don't know how that happened.
It certainly wasn't this egg ad that inspired it.
Unbeatable.
Unbeatable.
Probably voiced by Delta Goodrum.
Delta, you've got a big gig.
It's eggs.
Janet, did you find out who pays for the egg ad?
Australian Eggs.
Who's that?
That's not a brand.
Okay, so Australian Eggs is a member-owned not-for-profit company.
Not-for-profit?
Why are they putting out ads if they don't want us to buy the egg?
How are they making money?
Yes, but they work with the Australian government.
Voila.
There you go.
Ah.
So after Fraser Anning was hitting their head with that egg by Egg Boy,
they're like, shit, we need to work on our PR.
Is this where we're at?
We just start doing ads for just random objects that we already know exist?
Yeah, like imagine doing an ad for hair.
Everyone's got it.
It needs to be clean.
Yeah, we're not asking you to spend money.
We're just wanting to remind you that this thing exists.
Well, that's what I thought we could do.
Why don't we just, you know, throw shit against the wall
and see if we can create some ads for some completely ridiculous things.
Like, why don't we do trees?
Oh.
Climb a tree.
Oh, I'm not a copywriter.
You'll be fine.
There'd be some jingle music on here.
I got it here.
Type in cheesy.
Okay.
You dare me to do one.
Why don't I do one on...
No, I don't want to do competing ones.
Let's just write one together.
Okay, all right.
So the egg ad was saying that it's a better source of protein than other things.
So we need for our ad for trees, we need to slag off trees competitors.
So what's the trees competitor?
Bush.
Oh, okay.
We're writing an ad about how much better trees are than bushes and other shrubs.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
But no swearing because it's got to air on national television.
So trees are green. those shrubs be mean.
That's good.
Trees are green, those...
I'll be the, like, really happy singer.
Okay.
Trees are green, those shrubs are mean.
Plant one in your backyard.
Backyard.
Don't be a fat lad.
That's fun.
Plant them in your backyard.
Don't be a fat lad.
Ooh, you can swap them around.
Don't be a fat lad. Plant them in your backyard. Yeah, plant one in your backyard. Don't be a fat lad. Oh, you could swap them around. Don't be a fat lad.
Plant them in your backyard.
Yeah, plant one in your backyard.
Oh, yeah.
Plant one in your backyard.
We can do another verse.
Come on.
That's just the jingle at the end.
We need the copy.
Oh, shit.
We're not writing a fucking song.
That's just the bit at the end.
I went straight to the jingle.
No, we've got to have some copy.
What about like, how annoying is it when you have to mow your lawn with trees? No mowing involved. Yeah, we've got to have some copy. What about like how annoying is it when you have to mow your lawn
with trees? No mowing
involved. Yeah, great. No maintenance.
Just let it blow. Good. Write that.
Write that. Let it grow. I don't even remember what I said.
Let it blow and grow.
Elephants have trunks.
You know what else? Everyone loves elephants
and they have trunks. Guess what else
do? Trees.
Tie in. That's shit.
Okay.
All right.
Oh, I've got one.
I've got one.
Hey, you.
Do you love puppies?
What do puppies do?
They bark.
Guess who else has bark?
Australian trees.
Everyone loves puppies.
Oh, and that can be the end.
Are you telling me you don't like puppies?
That's a good tie in.
Because then we can guilt people in. Because everyone loves puppies. Okay that can be the end. Are you telling me you don't like puppies? That's a good time. Because then we can guilt people in because everyone lost puppies.
Okay.
All right.
So we've got the elephant analogy, the puppy analogy, and then I'll say, plus, you don't
even have to mow them.
Just let them grow and blow.
And then we'll do the, don't be a fat lad, plant it in the backyard.
Australian trees.
You do the two analogies.
I'll do the let it grow.
Have you written my analogies for me? Oh, just ad-lib them, hun. Smelly trees. You do the two analogies. I'll do the let it grow. Have you written my analogies for me?
Oh, just ad-lib them, hun.
They're yours.
You said that elephants have trunks and dogs bark.
Okay, here we go.
Let's do a rehearsal.
Have you found the music?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I'll do a rehearsal.
This is seriously running on really low.
That's fine.
This is good stuff.
We could sell this to trees.
I don't know who would approach.
Google the tree lobby dinner.
Yeah, get their email.
All right.
What a Shrek alphabet. Yeah, get their email. All right. What is Shrek Alphabart?
No, we didn't.
It was the elephant and the dog analogy.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
This was your idea.
Get a pen and pad.
Okay.
All right.
Elephants.
The elephant trunk analogy and the dog bark analogy.
And then I'll jump in with the added benefit of the fact that you don't have to mow trees.
We're just writing.
This is terrible audio.
We'll edit it, I guess.
I'll do that.
Why are you writing it word for word?
Is elephant analogy as a dot point not enough for you?
Oh, I don't know about it.
Who doesn't like puppies?
What a disaster.
Are you nervous or something?
Like, I've just told you twice what you need to do.
Your elephant analogy and your fucking dog analogy.
But I want to get it word for word.
I could do it.
I have studied theatre.
Thank you.
I don't know.
All right.
I'm going to start it.
So I'm going to start the show off.
Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
Do we have other options for music?
It sounds like a jazz bar.
Oh, it builds.
Yeah, I don't like that.
It sounds like some sort of song from Harry Styles.
All right.
What's this?
Oh, you can picture the backyard.
Yeah.
Puppies! Don't be a fat lad. you can picture the backyard. Yeah. Puppies.
Don't be a fat lad.
Plant one in the backyard.
Oh, I like that.
That's our jingle.
Hold on, hold on.
I got one more.
I got one more option.
Wait there, wait there.
Okay.
Nah, other one.
All right.
All right.
So you kick it off with your things.
What are we doing?
Here we go.
What if this show comes in?
This is our commercial for doing? Here we go. What is this joke? This is our commercial for trees.
Here we go.
Elephants have trunks.
You know what else have trunks?
Trees.
Puppies have a cute little bark.
You know what else has bark?
Trees.
Are you saying you don't like puppies?
And what do you know?
You don't even have to mow.
Just let it grow and blow.
Plant one today.
Don't be...
Oh, what?
It ended.
No!
It ended.
We got this.
Let's do it.
I left too much space between mine.
We were so close.
We got this.
Ready?
Here we are.
Count you in.
Three, two, and one.
Two.
Sorry.
Don't waste time. Sorry. Okay. Start again. Here we are. Count you in. Three, two, and one. Two. Sorry. Don't waste time.
Sorry.
Okay.
Start again.
Start it again.
Okay.
Sorry.
Elephants have trunks.
You know what else have trunks?
Trees.
Puppies.
They love to bark.
You know what else has bark?
Trees.
Are you telling me you don't like puppies?
And what do you know?
You don't even have to mow.
Just let them grow and blow.
Plant a tree today.
Don't be a fat lad.
Plant one in the backyard.
Australian trees.
Buy one now at your local Flower Power.
No, what the fuck? There's not meant to be a brand attached.
Why did you say Flower Power?
No!
It's meant to just be generating awareness for trees.
Do we have to do this again?
Why do you keep making up credit lines?
This is an issue for you.
Stick to the brief.
All right, should we move on?
Otherwise it was perfect.
I thought that was great.
Fucking flower.
Should we try one more?
No.
That was good.
When we were in sync at the end there,
that's all Katy Perry needed on Witness
and she would have had a bloody... Hey, hey, hey, you shut your mouth. Should we do one more? I think that's good. When we were in sync at the end there, that's all Katy Perry needed on Witness, and she would have had a bloody...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you shut your mouth.
Can you do one more?
I think that's enough.
Can we do one more commercial?
No, we just spent like 14 minutes on trees.
Okay, I just thought we could add a lib one.
All right, go on, add lib one.
All right.
Okay, let's pick a random item, Jenna,
for him to generate awareness around with no brand attached.
What about just...
Zucchinis.
No, not zucchinis. What about... Ooh. What about just... Zucchinis. No, not zucchinis.
What about just hopscotch?
The benefits of doing hopscotch.
No, skipping ropes.
Okay, okay, all right, all right.
Which one do we like out of those?
Long skipping ropes.
Long skipping ropes?
The ones where it's more than one person who gets to go in the middle.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Can you do an ad for group skipping?
Okay.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
Here we go.
All right.
Tired of Pilates?
Over your tennis club?
Want more friends than just your chess group?
Have you thought of skipping?
Skipping.
Gone are the days of tandem rope.
You and your friend, the old trope.
Grab a pal, two, maybe four.
Don't worry if you fall on the floor.
Skipping is fun.
Maybe wear knee pads.
It is cool.
Even a little rads.
It's skipping in a group. It's skipping in a group.
It's skipping with some pals.
Aussie skipping, fun, free, in the sun with you and me.
That was a good ad.
That was better than the tree one, actually.
Yeah.
Why did you need my help?
I see how you were always writing it word for word.
Yeah, you're going, oh, elephant.
You should follow these idiots online.
Search couple of Mitches.
You're listening to Is It Just Me?
God, that's going to get stuck in my head all over again, I bet.
I forget how obnoxious we are.
Is that really our podcast?
You mustn't ever lose sight of how obnoxious we are, Mitchell.
So annoying.
Why do people like that?
Anyway, whenever we do the Is It Just Me's at the start of the show,
one each, like I mentioned, we then move on to some sort of segment.
It might be a game.
It might be, you know, a prank.
Something a little bit fun just to finish the show off.
And this particular segment, Talk Back Tings,
was voted the best segment that we do by our listeners in our Facebook group. And this particular Talk Back Tings, which voted the best segment that we do by our listeners in our Facebook group.
And this particular Talk Back Tings, the first one we ever did back in episode three, this
was me trying to make you a little bit more relaxed because you were new to the podcast.
You were still stuck in your ways as a radio host.
I was in radio mode.
Yeah.
So I wanted you to learn from Talk Back Radio.
Here it is.
Talk Back Radio really Here it is.
Talkback Radio really is just a world of its own, isn't it?
That's why I've got to be right wing all of a sudden.
No, no.
Yell at women.
Look, I listen to Talkback Radio a lot because I like to know what else is going on.
I like to get out of the FM bubble, unlike yourself.
No, no, no.
I like Ben Fordham's program, but that's about it.
We're going way more Talkback than that today, okay?
Really? Because whenever i listen
around i like to bring little pieces of gold and show them to you okay that's how this segment's
going to work and today i want you to take inspiration because this show that i heard i
heard the start of someone's show yeah i want you pretend you're him i want you to jump in
where you think as an fm radio guy it would be appropriate to turn the mics on and start talking.
Okay, so like in FM radio, what I do is I'll set something up,
I'll play an opening, I'll speak right on the post, as we call it.
This is the show opening, I said the start.
Okay, so...
So where would you think it would be appropriate to start talking?
Have a listen.
Okay, all right.
Oh, God.
Oh, my.
Brent Bolditude in the afternoon.
Phone now to have your say.
13 12 69.
Hi, everyone.
Welcome to the program.
Well, there we go.
I feel like that's normal.
That's where you go wrong.
You're in way too much of a rush.
You've got to let it breathe.
I'm trying to help you here.
You've got to be more like an AM radio guy because this guy, turn it off.
He's in absolutely no rush to start talking.
He's definitely not. I want you to take a listen to just how long he left between the show opener and him starting
to talk.
Here it is.
Brent Bolditude in the afternoon.
Phone now to have your say.
13 12 69.
Well, that's where I would have spoken.
No, no.
Give it time.
Can I put it away?
Surely it'll be late now.
We'll wait.
People need to go to our Instagram to see your face.
You are horrified.
Hi, everyone.
Wrapping up.
Hi, afternoon.
Where is the man?
Surely it's going to be now.
No, no.
Just listen and take notes.
I want you to be more like him.
What, dead?
Oh, I can feel it.
No.
Surely it'll be...
Oh, yeah, I can hear it.
Now.
No, not yet.
Is he asleep?
Not yet.
I'm visibly anxious.
Shh.
Give him time.
Jazz flute.
When he's ready.
This can't be real.
I haven't edited this.
Here we go, okay.
Building.
Jolly.
Jolly.
Now he goes.
Oh my God, what?
You'd think, wouldn't you?
What?
Steve Giddy.
Ample opportunity.
Shh.
He'll join it in his time. He's not doing it for his time.
He's all right.
He could have fallen.
Now.
Now.
Surely now.
Oh, no.
No.
Do you actually get this?
Is this real?
Yeah.
I haven't edited it.
Good afternoon. I trust you. There he is. I haven't edited it. Good afternoon.
I trust you.
There he is.
I think that that was a perfect example of how to just take a step back and not be so
rushed.
No, I had four minor heart attacks in that.
No.
Pulmonary embolism.
You've got to try and break the habit of being a radio guy on this podcast.
No, I have to say, truthfully, that gives me anxiety.
I've been trained to-
I mentioned not having anxiety already.
Wow.
Okay.
Not funny.
Hey, if anyone was curious, he left that opener for two minutes and 35 seconds.
Holy, that's how long I meant to talk for.
Start, set up, take calls, end.
Go into the ads.
What was he doing?
I don't know.
That's none of your business.
It's none of anyone's business.
It doesn't matter.
It's AM radio.
No one's in a rush.
I can't handle that.
Maybe he's not all there.
Although, given his demo, imagine how many people passed during that time.
Oh, no.
But, no, I'm serious.
I think that we need to seriously coach you on how to be more relaxed
and less uptight radio guy on this podcast.
I want you to play our open night and see how long you can go without talking.
Oh, no.
No, that makes me feel sick.
Mitchell, either you're committed to this or you're not.
Okay, I can do it.
So our show open night and I'm going to just let it go
for as long as I can comfortably do it.
Okay.
I can feel my prostate itching.
What's an old person thing?
Someone get me a glass of milk.
All right, I'll take my Caltrate and we're good.
Now, here's Mitch, Julie and Mitchell Coons. No!
I had to!
Hi, everyone!
I had to do it!
I could have not!
That was nothing.
I had to! That was nothing. I I had to do it. I could have known. That was nothing. I had to.
That was nothing.
I physically had to.
How long is the audio file that our opener's using?
It goes for eight more minutes.
You had so much time up your sleeve.
Eight minutes?
Yes.
That's not possible.
I think it is.
I could not have done that.
It's a podcast.
Who writes the rule book?
Well, no one, but who finds that entertaining?
I think it's quite relaxing. You think
it's relaxing? Yep. This ridiculous
EDM beat
sounds like it's from an under-18s
party.
Want to hook up with me?
Do you bring Gatorade?
My dad gave me a cigarette.
Actually, my stepdad, sorry.
You know what I mean, anyway.
God!
See, I have to talk.
The worst thing that everyone fears in radio is dead air.
Yeah, it's just this.
Ready?
How long can you go with dead air on this show?
Ready?
Turn it off.
Okay, okay, okay.
Nah, can't do it.
Oh, what?
I cannot do that long.
God, look at him, Jenna.
He's a freak.
The backup track kicks in after 30.
There's no backup track here, I'm telling you.
Really?
You've got to kick these habits.
Try again.
Be back. I can see Jenna's nails growing.
What are the P2s thinking?
Well, it's no longer dead air because you keep interrupting it.
Okay, we'll see.
I have to.
I have to do it.
We'll cut that.
You know what's funny?
I go out to cafes.
That's not the story.
And I'll hear them play Spotify.
And on Spotify, a song ends, you know, a song will play, naturally end, and the next one
will start.
To me, I freak out.
I'm like, is that Kix?
Are we off air?
On it during Peppo!
Actually, I do that too sometimes when I hear a really shit seg.
Because if you just play a song, like back to back on Apple Music, Spotify, whatever,
it leaves the silence between them and I'm sitting there going, oh, that would be turmoil
in our workplace.
Yep.
So I'm with you on that.
But I just think we've got our work cut out for us, don't we, Jenna?
Oh, you sure do.
Trying to get him into a podcast, guys.
You sure do.
You're doing no work.
We'll come up with something to do next week, won't we?
Well, I think it's my turn to come up with something because you guys have just put it
on me every single week.
Well, that's true, actually.
The only person that can help you is yourself
when it comes to trying to change.
You're just not good.
What the fuck, Jenna?
Are you serious?
I love that.
That's a beautiful note to end on.
Let's go.
Don't forget to follow a couple of Mitch's
and leave us a very good review on the iTunes store.
Yeah, please do.
You're just not good.
That's very off.
Get over it.
It's fine.
You're just not good. That cuts to my core. Yeah, please do. You're just not good. That's very off. Get over it. It's fine. You're just not good.
That cuts to my core. Yeah, whatever.
Can I get a genuine question from the two of you and I want to ask honestly. Have you heard my show I do at night?
No. Yeah, of course. Yeah. What do you think of it?
It's fine.
Pardon? It's bad. Oh, please.
You're in bed with a cup of bloody Horlicks
by eight. What's Horlicks?
I don't even know what that is.
It puts you to sleep. It's like a, it puts you to sleep.
It's like a malt drink.
Sounds like a slur.
Oh, I've heard that Horlicks.
Jesus Christ.
You're listening to Is It Just Me?
A podcast by a couple of midges.
Here we go.
We're listening to our best bits from season one.
Oh, this next one is, I think, my personal favourite
because even when we think we're done with the show
and our best content is finished, we've got it out of the way,
the best stuff comes from when we're wrapping
and finishing up for the day.
This next thing that we're about to play you that came in
as one of the highest voted things as our best bits from season one,
it wasn't even a bit that we planned.
It was literally just me calling you out
for not being able to pronounce something properly.
So we're about to finish the show and then this happened.
Take a listen.
It's like when you're in bed and you can hear a mosquito
up near your blyans, but you can't do anything to get rid of it.
What did you just say, blyans?
Blyans.
Do you think there's two syllables?
What are blyans?
Blyans.
Keep the sun out in your bedroom.
It's one syllable, blyans.
You're like, blyans. Blyans. in your bedroom. It's one syllable. Blinds.
You're like, blinds.
Blinds.
No, there's only one syllable.
Blinds. I'm doing one syllable.
Blinds.
Are you stupid?
You know what?
No.
This is actually a problem because I used to work on a show called The Thinker Girls and
we used to give away vibrators for gifts.
Vibrators.
Vibrators.
It's not via.
It's not like going via the instrument. Vibrators. Vibrators. What's wrong via. It's not like going via the instrument.
Vibrators.
Vibrators.
What's wrong with you?
I don't know.
You say wrong and you're like, oh, that's awfully kind.
Oh, no, I really don't mind.
Sir, I'm your surgeon.
You've broken your spion.
My what?
Your spion has snapped in two.
Oh, God, I had a really hard day at work today,
but I suppose it could be worse.
I could be out working in a myon.
The blind leading the blind over here.
Let's go.
I parked illegally.
I hope I don't get a fire.
There we go.
Oh, it's good to listen back.
It is.
And so that was from episode 11 as well, the blind thing.
The same episode of the Australian trees, the Blyans thing. The same episode
of the Australian trees, the thing that we
played first. So apparently episode 11
was an iconic episode. Yeah, do you think
maybe that's how, you know the episode in Packed to the Rafters
when is it Zoe dies?
Oh, Mel is her name. Mel
in that car crash who Sheridan's crying
about a girl who really is his best acting ever.
Maybe
episode 11 is our Mel car crash episode.
Yeah, perhaps.
You really do have Pack to the Rafters front of mind, don't you?
I do.
You've compared us to them twice so far in this little best bits episode.
I don't know why.
Or it's like that episode of Big Brother when that guy comes out holding the sign to free
Merlin.
Merlin.
That was the best bit of Big Brother ever.
It was.
So episode 11 is our best bits.
But that does wrap up season one.
Yes.
I would like to think that it was very difficult for our listeners to narrow down the best
bits, but rest assured, there's a lot of other things from season one that you can go back
and listen to if you haven't heard the shows before.
35 episodes worth of binging, mind you.
And of course, we've got plenty of fun things planned for season two already.
So make sure you subscribe or follow on Spotify so you don't miss all that shit once we're back in action i really wish you could see what we have planned
for season two because it's huge there's a lot going on yeah and i think it's going to be our
best season yet well like we like we said in many cases it is season three absolute dog shit always
the worst there's terrible character arc someone ends up sleeping with someone else so it's you
know i'm looking forward to that.
Maybe we'll be like Law and Order SVU where it just keeps going for years and decades and it's still good.
Yeah.
Or is it really still good?
I mean, how many times can someone rape somebody?
I'm over it.
No.
Can't that. I think everyone's over rape, Mitchell.
No.
Not what I mean.
The storyline is always the same.
It's always a teacher or someone from the docklands.
Something like that.
You know, we can't be doing Jenna's junk in 10 years time you never know i haven't seen any of
the newer episodes of svu i got up to like season 12 they're up to like 25 now i was watching the
other day and they were like the pedophile found her on snapchat i'm like oh they're catching up
that's very 2020 i'm keeping it modern so what could they do now if they were still on
like if like like today oh yeah is svu gonna touch coronavirus because that's it filmed in new york They're keeping it modern. What could they do now if they were still on? Like today.
Oh, yeah.
Is SVU going to touch coronavirus?
Because it filmed in New York.
Oh, my God, yeah.
I think Mariska Hagerty.
Hagerty, I think.
Mariska Hagerty will have to track down people from her home.
That'd be a great series.
Oh, yeah.
Cyberstalking.
Oh, that'd be rubbish.
Oh, God.
That's just me on a bloody Thursday.
I hate all that cyberstalking shit.
I'm over it.
I want some good old-fashioned murder and, you know, violence.
They're the best episodes.
I think that's every episode, isn't it?
Isn't SVU sexual?
It's a special victims unit,
so it's usually anything related to children, sex crimes.
It's really it, actually.
I hope that's...
Or just really fucked things,
like someone who was just, like, thrown in a petrol tank.
What?
It's just basically SVU is the most fucked of all the Law and Orders.
And the characters are all...
You know, I was watching the other day, no joke,
and Robin Williams was the bad guy.
Yeah, I think I've seen that episode too.
They have had so many celebrity guests.
Have you not seen the episode with Hilary Duff in it?
It's so good. What does she do? Cut
her bangs too short and goes to prison for it? I'm pretty sure she buries
her own child alive.
Something like that.
But let's do the pitch meeting. Hilary, it's so
good to finally have you in. We're so glad you're
going to be a part of SVU. So your management have
told us that you'd like to shed that
good girl image that you
acquired from Lizzie McGuire.
How would you feel about burying your firstborn
in a shallow grave in the New York City CBD?
Hilary, we loved how you buried your good girl vibe.
So we're thinking, why don't you bury an infant?
Oh, my God.
I'm in for it.
I'm so for it.
They also had, who's that chick from The O.C.?
I've never watched it.
Oh, God, I would have no idea. What's her name? Jessica Simpson? No, no, I'll think of it. The O.C.? I've never watched it. Oh, God. I would have no idea.
What's her name?
Jessica Simpson?
No.
No.
I'll think of it.
The O.C.?
The O.C.
Let me find out.
Oh, what's her name?
Misha Barton?
Misha Barton.
Misha Barton!
She was an absolute dog of a thing in that show as well.
Really?
They brought her out of her own shallow grave and was like,
hey, can you guess Siren This?
I remember when Sarah Michelle Gellar was on it.
Who's that?
Buffy.
No.
The Vampire Slayer?
No.
She also played the sexy one from Scooby-Doo.
Not Velma.
Who's the hot one?
Daphne.
Daphne!
There's not enough Daphnes around in 2020, is there?
No, there aren't.
Daphne.
This is literally meant to be showcasing our best bits.
Well, if you're new here, this is exactly what we do.
We just get stuck and bogged down on random topics
and we don't know how to shut up.
No, we don't.
We go down tangents.
Anyway.
If there's any note we need to take for season two,
it's just to shut up a little sooner.
Yeah, maybe.
Anyway, if that enticed you to listen to more,
there's plenty of episodes of Is It Just Me
available for you to go and stream.
35, in fact.
Go and have a listen.
And there's plenty more to come when we return to Season 2.
We can't wait.
Chat to you soon, guys.
Bye-bye.
See ya.
Is it just me?
