Starting point is 00:00:00 This is Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of misfits. Brace yourself for the ridiculous shenanigans of our spare wheels. Fuck the Mitchens. Now, here's Chugging Oscar, Prize Keeper Jenna and Contraceptive Diagram Sam. Hello you! Hello you! Hello you! Hello you! Hello everyone!
Starting point is 00:00:26 Oh, look at us. Episode 3 and the Misfits are still going. You lot can't fucking get enough of this. I really don't know how this is still going. It's just we're so good. Is it though? Jenna, you're very rarely correct. And in this case.
Starting point is 00:00:42 And you guys have been so wonderful to us idiots. You've been so good to us on the Endurance Idiots and Facebook group. Make sure you join that one because that's fantastic. But you have to answer the questions. Yeah, and you have to answer them correctly as well. Yeah, don't just push join and think you're going to get in because you're not.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Because you create more work for poor Jenna. I'm like, you know, she's already prize keeping. Exactly. Don't waste my time. But no, you guys have been absolutely fantastic to us. Don't waste my time. But, no, you guys have been absolutely fantastic to us, so here we are again, and I can't not bring up the fact that
Starting point is 00:01:11 you all voted we should be going to Japan. And here's the thing. I have reached out to the powers that be that run the Kitty-O. Yep. I have been campaigning. You know how hard I campaign. Don't I just And I actually have a bit of news with that
Starting point is 00:01:29 And so we do have a Yappin and Jappin update We're going to Japan Maybe Maybe I want to get to that a little bit later Also idiots we have Ask Aunty Oscar This is something that's happened in ADD Brief
Starting point is 00:01:43 And I don't know about you idiots But whenever I I listen to the Mitches, I give up on ADD Brief. I can't believe you give up because sometimes ADD Brief has some of the most iconic things that happen in it. To be honest, I think our best stuff has been in ADD Brief because we don't know what the fuck we're doing on this show. The first ADD Brief I did, I voice messaged Nikki Webster. That's true. That's right. I actually remember that. Yeah, I think you were actually there that day.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Yeah, I was. No, you were. Yeah, you were. Behind the glass. Yeah. Now you're not behind the glass. Well, now you're not. No, but it's so funny because we've been in this studio for about an hour.
Starting point is 00:02:17 I know. And all I'm hearing in the background while I'm pressing buttons is, I'm just a little girl. I don't even know. I don't even remember how this started. And it's been said 87 times in the last hour. Because the problem is I hyper fixate on certain things. So like when I find something really funny and Jenna,
Starting point is 00:02:36 Jenna is such a bad influence on that because she thinks everything I say is funny. You're that weirdo girl. Like if it's just a solid hour, I've just been looking at Sam going, I'm just a weirdo girl. I'm pretty sure it happened because I burped. I think I just burped. Only weirdo girls burp. Only weirdo girls are gassy.
Starting point is 00:02:56 And I'm, oh, Christ. Just a weirdo girl need to be burped. Look, I mean, we all know that you're a lot of work, Oscar. We are not doing this again. I am not sitting here and having my character persecuted. And you see, this is how this all started. And I'm going to have to see if I can find this clip. Because in ADD Brief last week, we got into a little marriage tiff.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Yes. You slept real good on that couch, didn't you? I really did. I need to get myself a better fold out. But I thought in our little tiff that I was being diplomatic. All the idiots are going, you were so mean. The way all of you had my back. Like, I just want to give a special shout out,
Starting point is 00:03:41 which is why I said to the idiots, submit your questions because I want to give back and they can ask Auntie Oscar because Sam, my husband, has been a fuckwit and once again is referring to me being a self-indulgent cow. Also, Sam doesn't understand the whole talent producer line. No, he's still learning. He's on work experience. You'll get there one day. I'm a little bit offended about the idea that you're referring to yourselves as talent and just yourselves.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Yeah, but we're just widdle girls. I think you're just widdle girls with so much talent. So much talent. Only widdle girls have talent. No, no. If it's your first time listening, we start every episode with this bullshit followed by an is it just me,
Starting point is 00:04:32 something we've noticed, something we hate or appreciate. Auntie Oscar. Widdle girl. I'm just a widdle girl. The widdle girl that you are. Oh my God, I'll go. Okay, all right, okay, all right. Let's just take it away.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Yeah, yeah. Is it just me or... If you have more than one sugar in your coffee, should you be considered a psychopath? Oh, interesting. Yeah. I agree. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:04:57 Hang on, hang on, hang on. Is this because you got me a coffee earlier in the night for two sugars? Oh, you get two sugars. No, look, nothing to do against you sam but i will maybe slightly i i it's just not coffee at this point i recently was in a conversation with someone who said to me i'm such a coffee snob i have to have like this and this and as someone who is a big coffee drinker i can drink four or five coffees and feel normal. So maybe I should be medicated.
Starting point is 00:05:28 But they were saying to me like, oh, I love coffee. And you know, I won't drink Starbucks and I won't drink Gloria Jeans. I need like actual like hole in the wall cover. They were from Melbourne. Yeah, that makes sense. Ew. No, I'm just kidding. We love you, Melbourne. We love you, Melbourne.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Okay, Parramatta, Bankstown, anywhere. Like anywhere that's not the amount of people that message me like, No I'm just kidding We love you Melbourne We love you Melbourne Okay Paramount Anywhere Like anywhere That's not The amount of people That messaged me like How dare you slay The Paramount And I was like
Starting point is 00:05:51 But can you guarantee My safety Nah Anyway But they were like I can't do this Whatever Well he and I
Starting point is 00:05:57 Went for a coffee And I got my Oh I'll have an oat cappuccino I get oat Because I'm You're just a little girl I'm a little girl With eye boy.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Yes. TMI, but whatever. So I got my oatmeal, whatever. And he was like, you get oatmeal? That's not real coffee. Oh. He walks up and goes, hi, I'll have a large flat white. And can I have three sugars in that?
Starting point is 00:06:21 What a joke. And do you know what he did? You know, like the sweetener bullshit? Oh, yeah. He grabbed one of those and put it in too. Oh, I know. Which then got me thinking. What a joke And do you know what he did? You know like the sweetener bullshit? Oh Yeah He grabbed one of those and put it in too Oh I know Which then got me thinking
Starting point is 00:06:29 How can you tell me you're a coffee snob When you've just put three and a half sugars And half a sweetener That's just sugar water That is a cruiser That's lolly water But how can you say you like coffee If it's too bitter?
Starting point is 00:06:45 Fuck off. Take a caffeine tablet or some bullshit. He's got a point. Okay, as someone who has two sugars in a coffee, and actually, weirdly, I come from a family of two sugars in a coffee. Oh, so it's genetics. Yes, it very much is, yes. I thought incorrectness was hereditary.
Starting point is 00:07:03 No, I'm just kidding. Don't ever repeat that to your parents. I love your parents so deeply. We have beautiful family dividends. They're very proud to have you as an in-law. Well, because I'm just your weird little girl. God, okay. This is never ending.
Starting point is 00:07:19 But as someone who's in a two sugar coffee committee, two is the limit. I feel like the two is the limit, but maybe that's just because that's my limit. Iced coffee. Oh. I went on a date with a guy that had two sugars in an iced coffee. Oh, no. I was like, it's already iced.
Starting point is 00:07:35 No, you don't put. No, no, no, no. That's already sweet enough. It has to be bitter. If you put an ounce of sugar in it, I don't know what it is about me. If you put a singular speck of sugar, I can taste it and I'm going to want to throw myself off the harbour bridge. I'm glad that you're not overreacting or anything. No, not at all.
Starting point is 00:07:53 Well, my old boss, right? Yeah. I used to have to get his coffees and he asked for eight sugars. Are you fucked? What? No. Eight sugars. Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Name and shame. No, don't actually. Actually, no, no, no. What's his name on Facebook? We? No. Eight sugars. Yes. Name and shame. I'm going to... No, don't actually. Actually, no, no, no. What's his name on Facebook? We're going to call him. No, get his LinkedIn. Yeah. Just send a message.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Oi, what the fuck is wrong with you? Eight sugars. Yes, eight sugars. That is definition of like... You may as well just not put the coffee in. Just have sugar and milk. And then afterwards, he'd go to the bathroom and brush his teeth. What teeth? With the amount of sugar in that, they would have rotted off. And then afterwards he'd go to the bathroom and brush his teeth.
Starting point is 00:08:25 What teeth? Like with the amount of sugar in that, they would have rotted off. Are you kidding? Nah, see, that's taking the piss. And then he got fired. Oh, well, fair enough. Because the sugar rush that man would be on, he'd be getting nothing done. He'd just be watching like the hypnotising frog from Futurama.
Starting point is 00:08:42 That's all he's watching. Wait, hang on. I want to know how much sugar actually is in eight sugars. Yeah. Because that's just foul. Hang on. Oscar, I am calling you on your phone right now. If you want to chuck me on speaker.
Starting point is 00:08:58 We're doing a podcast, just letting you know. Why am I joining it? What? Okay, hang on. Just roll with me here. Okay. Because I want to just go to the staff kitchen here. Because I want to know how much eight sugars actually is. That's a very good point.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Jenna, do you know where the sugars are? Because I can find a stirrer, but I can't find a sugar. No, because I don't drink coffee or sugar. Oh, shit. What kind of... It's not going to work. Where's the kettle? Is it near the kettle?
Starting point is 00:09:29 We've got a lot of champagne glasses. This is a lot. Oh, that's because they knew I was coming in studio again. Yeah. They were obsessed with us when we did our Nasty Girls. You guys got to celebrate. Oh, wait. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:09:40 I found... Oh, Jesus Christ. I found them. Oh. Well, hang on. How many sugars do we need? Okay. One, two, five. Well, hang on. How many sugars do we need? Okay. One, two, five, six, seven, eight.
Starting point is 00:09:50 That's foul. Okay. Hang on. I'm so excited. He's very good. Hurry up. Oh, he's back. He's here.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Oh. Yay. Okay. Right. These are eight sugars. That is gross. Oh, my God. All right. Okay. Let's see this. We're going to do this. This is gross. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Okay, let's see this. We're going to do this. This is so much controversy. I've got sugar everywhere. Hang on, I've got to get a mic. Alright. That's one. One.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Nice ASMR here. Oh, actually, yeah. Wait, wait, wait. Hang on. This is sugar number two. I hate every second of that. The weirdo girl's putting it in the weirdo cup. Oh, no. Get fucked.
Starting point is 00:10:28 No good. That's how I feel about ASMR, to be honest. It just does nothing. For weirdo girls. Oh, well, it's because weirdo girls don't like ASMR. ASMR. Sugar number three. Okay, three.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Oh, my God. Eight. Yes, eight. Definitely eight. I can't even say in the cup, but I can already tell it's at a quarter. Five. Oh, my God. Six.
Starting point is 00:10:55 This is exhausting. Jeez. An espresso has like, I don't know, it's basically a shot. It's the same as an alcoholic shot. It's a fantastic song by Sabrina Carpenter. Now, anyone who's getting this much sugar in a coffee, please, please, please. Again, another great song by Sabrina Carpenter. Eight.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Okay. Now, this is like reading tea leaves. I literally feel like I'm about to get, fuck the psychics, give me a cup full of sugar. Look at how foul that shit is. That's literally a quarter of the cup. No. So how much is in each sachet? 4.13 grams.
Starting point is 00:11:33 Okay, so if we times eight, that's 33 grams of sugar. That's insane. That's actually- That's really bad. Especially for a cup that small as well. Yeah. Sorry, I'm just going to fill this with water. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:11:46 I don't even want to look at it to be honest. No, look. That. Oh, my God. Stir that up. That's disgusting. There you go, Oscar. Ah, ah, ah, ah.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I don't need any more than that. Oh, yeah. Knock. Go on. I don't like that it's staring at me. It really is. I'm not drinking it. No, drink it.
Starting point is 00:12:04 Drink it. I want the drinking it. No, drink it. Drink it. I want the both of you to know that I will never stop my widdle girl. And this cup of sugar water. Okay, fine, I'll drink it. Okay. Widdle girl's twinkie. I can't tell if I'm going to cough or vomit. That's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Yuck. Oh, God. We've gone silent. Like, this is literally like, this is actually life or death now. I feel like I'm on I'm a Celeb, get me the fuck out of here. Like, I won't drink the lolly water. All right. No, I'm not doing that. One more. All right. No, I'm not doing... One more.
Starting point is 00:12:46 One more. Yeah, go on. Oh, no, you just spat it out. I spat it out. I can't do it. I don't know if I was going to try that. You were not. I was not.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Anyway, my point still stands. Oh. Okay, I'm now just having regular water. My point still stands. Okay, I'm now just having regular water. I can't stress enough. Look at this pile of sugars. Imagine you're going to a cafe and you've got to do this by yourself. Yes. Like, are you just sitting there having a conversation for 15 minutes,
Starting point is 00:13:20 just putting in sugars and the person sitting across from you is just wondering if they're there with a psychopath? Yes. No, I'm not. No, but also having this every day. Yeah, no, my point still stands. If you have more than two sugars in a coffee, you're a fucking psychopath. Anyway, moving on because I feel very sick now. Jenna, have you got an Is It Just Me for us?
Starting point is 00:13:39 I have. All right, take it away, Brattle. Is it just me or... Are the AI cat videos on TikTok the saddest things you've ever seen in your life? I'm sorry, the what? Can you please elaborate? Because, like, AI cat videos... Oh, no, these have gone viral.
Starting point is 00:14:03 They're from different accounts such as Cats Life, Sweet Things. Oh! Okay. Oh my god. Oh my, what is this? Really sad. What you're showing
Starting point is 00:14:22 us are videos, the photos of cats are being like made in like AI generated images. Yes. And you're showing us are videos. The photos of cats are being made in AI-generated images. Yes. And they're telling a story through slides while this plays. Yeah. Oh, look at their little faces. Look at the Billie Eilish. This is literally the most Jenna thing I've ever seen in my life.
Starting point is 00:14:40 No, but these are so devastating. The stories are heartbreaking. Yeah. Are they though no they honestly are like the kitten losing its dad because the police came and stole the dad and then the kittens now at a like the rspca and look here are some comments all i do on this app is cry actually tiktok comments like some of the funniest I've ever seen to be honest like out of all the things happening in this world

Starting point is 00:16:42 Just search Couple of Mitches. If you don't, you're a little bitch. Oh, I don't care how unhinged we are. I still think that we're doing the Lord's work. I agree. I mean, the Lord wanted us to do this and that's why I'm here. Because, Sam, I believe it's time for Ask Aunty Oscar. Yeah, because last week, and we kind of touched on this before, we got on a little lover's tip.
Starting point is 00:17:06 We did. We did. And you've been sleeping on the couch ever since. If you didn't hear what happened, we had a bit of a couples therapy session and I actually think that you came up with a very good idea. I think next week that we should do Ask Aunty Oscar. Kind of like a Dolly Doctor.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Yeah. But worse. Agony us. But worse. According to like a Dolly Doctor. Yeah. But worse. Agony art. But worse. According to Sam, but fucking worse. So, yeah, I said last week, send us in voice messages or anything that you want to ask Aunty Oscar
Starting point is 00:17:36 because that's me. And I haven't read any of the responses, so I'm going to be hit with it cold, even though I'm not cold the heat is on anyway yeah um so i guess sam who is my first patient well before we get stuck into it i have a little bit of a surprise oh my surprise yes a little bit of a surprise oh fuck i do well with surprises okay all right hang on yay Yay! So, fuck it now.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Okay, wait, so we have a surprise. I'm really excited. Okay. So I was telling my dad about the fact that we're doing Ask Aunty Oscar. Yeah. And anyone that has been listening to it for a very, very long time and still knows me from when I was contraceptive diaphragm Sam on the other side of the glass. In the middle of COVID, I started up a new project, which was to find my dad's old records when he was in bands in the 70s.
Starting point is 00:18:34 Iconic. And remastered them and I gave it to him for Father's Day. Oh, I thought you did that. And something that was so lovely is that every once in a while, Mitchell will send me something from the Endur and Idiots group saying, I've been trying to find those records
Starting point is 00:18:48 so you idiots have been listening to my dad's albums which brings me so much joy. I love that. And I've told him about that and he thinks it's gorgeous and so he wants to do something for the show.
Starting point is 00:18:58 And he went away and he wrote this such a lovely jingle for you, Aunty Oscar. Me? Yes. What? Yes. What?
Starting point is 00:19:05 Oh. If you've got problems, he's got them too. So ask Aunty Oscar. Ask Aunty Oscar. Ask Aunty Oscar. He'll tell you what to do. Oh, my God. That is the cutest.
Starting point is 00:19:29 That is the best. Okay. Oh, my God. Wow. Like, I felt like I was in The Nanny for a second there. That's amazing. I love you, John. An icon.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Thank you. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I love that so much. Now I'm in a fantastic mood. Now I'm like, my God. Oh, my God. I love that so much. See, now I'm in a fantastic mood. Now I'm like, yeah, bring on the first bitch. We're going to call this girl Lovely Tanisha. Tanisha?
Starting point is 00:19:55 Tanisha. I'm pulling that name completely out of my ass because she's asked to not use a real name. Oh, yes. I should actually preface. We did give the idiots the option to remain anonymous. Did you at least tell them what name you're going to give them? No, I thought of that then. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Okay, well, I mean, they'll recognise their question, surely. So Tanisha has written in saying... Hi, Auntie Oscar. So I have started seeing this guy in the last couple of weeks. We slept together on the first date, but now I have thrush. It's pretty gross, and every time he tries to go down there, I stop him. And I think he's getting a bit
Starting point is 00:20:32 hurt by that. What should I do? Oh, God. Oh, that's a lot for a first one. Okay. Well, Tanisha, first of all, Aunty Oscar would like to say, very sorry about your thrush. I know that's not very comfortable.
Starting point is 00:20:47 I've never had it personally, but I can just imagine that's uncomfortable. Second of all, I would probably just tell him, like, here's the thing, Tanisha. I know it's been three weeks. There's no attachment. I'm sorry. Like, all you need to do is just turn to him and say babe i'm so sorry i've actually got xyz going on down there can we just wait until that clears up and if he doesn't want to see you anymore fuck him well actually no she can't oh you know what
Starting point is 00:21:19 i mean like in the bin i'm not accepting that look Look, my darling, it's not a horrible thing. It's not the end of the world, okay? It's just thrush. Jenna, does that shit clear up? I think so, yeah. Oh, good, okay. I've never had it, but I've heard that it does. Oh, good, yeah, yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:38 The one question I could throw to her for that. Not once in your 400 years. No, no. What a sanitary girl you are. Very. Did she even beat the plague? She started the plague actually. I started it and I beat it. But look, Tanisha,
Starting point is 00:21:54 at the end of the day, if you tell him and his reaction is not positive, then he can fuck the fuck off. Well said. He's not the one for you, my love. It's only been three weeks too. Get over it. Yes. Like, oh, my God. He doesn't want me because I have thrush.
Starting point is 00:22:08 If he doesn't want you because you have thrush, well, then find another man. Like, honestly. Well said. Adios. I like that answer. Thank you. I agree. Love you, Tanisha.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Thank you, darling. Ask Arnie Asker what to do. Okay. Number two. Oh, number two. Oh, number two. Um, let's, uh, I have not picked a name for this girl. Uh, Jenna, her name is going to be? Um, Claire. Claire. Claire.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Claire, love you, Claire. I've always loved the name Claire. Yeah, Claire's lovely. I love McLeod's daughter. Yeah. So. So this is from Claire McLeod, alright. Yeah. So this is from Claire McLeod, all right. She's alive.
Starting point is 00:22:48 She's alive and well. She did not die in the cliff fall. No. No, good for her. Yeah, do you know what? Good for her. Yeah. Do you know what?
Starting point is 00:22:57 I always say don't die. Don't die in a cliff. Yeah. All right. So what's Claire McLeod got for me? Well, Claire is saying a couple of months ago, her long distance boyfriend admitted to cheating on her. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Saying that he did it because he thought she was cheating on him. And she wasn't. Okay. Well, first of all, Claire, what the fuck? Why are you doing long distance? Okay. Okay. Number one, long distance doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:23:25 I'm so sorry. Oh, that's a hot take. Like, you can't sit there and tell me that, oh, we're long distance. What? So, you're in a relationship with a monitor? So, your relationship is just talking on the phone? It hasn't hurt our marriage. Well, that's true.
Starting point is 00:23:46 That's different though because that's long distance marriage. It's true love. No, but you know what I mean? I don't, in all seriousness, long distance relationships, I just, I don't, uh-uh. Like, that's a big no for me. And if someone, I mean, I am more than willing to open the floor up for someone to convince me otherwise. But it's ask Aunty Oscar, not ask Aunty everyone else. That's true.
Starting point is 00:24:08 You've got a point there. So, first of all, Claire, I would like to say I'm very sorry to hear that you have been cheated on. What I will say is that it's kind of a blessing in disguise because if this man thinks that him going to cheat is okay because he thought she was cheating, then that's grounds for divorce. Nice. No. Because we live in a day and age now where relationships between two people are their business entirely.
Starting point is 00:24:38 Now, I do know some couples who have to be long distance for work. That happens. Yeah. They're open. They sort it out their own way. Other people decide to remain close. If the communication, Claire, between you and long distance man has been, we are monogamous, we are faithful, blah, blah, blah, blah,
Starting point is 00:24:56 and he's completely disregarded that because he thought you were doing something, that's a red flag and that's fucked up. Yeah. Yeah. And I wouldn't, personally, if that happened to me, I would not, I would not even give this man the airtime. Now, in saying that, Claire, you are absolutely allowed to give him the airtime, but I recommend you don't.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Because fuck that. Sorry. A leopard never changes his spots. Ask Arnie, ask her what to do. Hot takes. Hot takes. Nice. Very contrary. I know. Never changes his spots. Hot takes. Hot takes. Nice. Very conscious. I know.
Starting point is 00:25:29 I'm going to get in a lot of trouble for saying that, I reckon. But I firmly believe that. I have not seen a long distance couple work out. I've never heard of one. So I apologize if you are long distance and you're going strong. I'm not talking about you specifically. I'm talking about the concept. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:43 But you're all more than welcome to slip into my DMs and tell me otherwise. I won't read them. So really, the asking of Aunty Oscar doesn't extend that far. But to be fair, the idiots seem to have a lot of relationship problems and that leads us to Candice.
Starting point is 00:26:02 And she didn't send in a voice message because she really wanted to make sure that it was private. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. So I'm just going to read this out to you. A good friend of mine recently went through a divorce, a messy divorce. Oh. And they have a son together.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Oh. She has since found a new boyfriend who she says is a good egg. Oh. Now, there are some red flags up on the new boyfriend, though. Like he commented on her snacking, wanted to help her count calories. Oh, no. And recently, she met his mum and she didn't know about a son. Hang on, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:26:34 So, as in, she didn't know that the new man has a son? Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Oh, that's three for three. Uh-huh. Surely the new boyfriend would have mentioned this crucial detail. I am concerned that he's also a rebound for my friend,
Starting point is 00:26:50 but I don't know if or what I should say. Help, Auntie Oscar. Oh, God, that's a lot. Yeah. Right. Jesus Christ. Yeah, there's a lot to unpack there. So, yeah, let's review the facts.
Starting point is 00:27:03 So, counting calories, snacking, a secret son. Love a secret son. Love a secret son. And we're worried about rebounding. Okay, well, first of all, Candice, what I'm going to say is, thank you for coming to Auntie Oscar, because I don't want to say I've been in this situation, but I've definitely been around this situation before.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Candice, I think the biggest thing you're going to have to do I don't want to say I've been in this situation, but I've definitely been around this situation before. Candice, I think the biggest thing you're going to have to do when it comes to your friend is that you're just going to have to kind of be there as a support person. So a messy divorce, messy divorces can have long lasting effects. Like it can literally just traumatize a person. Like we've seen it in all kinds of scenarios now i think if the concern you have is like to the point where you're actually worried about this person's mental health i would step in personally but i would do it in a home environment which provides at least a safety net so that you know you're not in a public where because you know how they say like sit in a public setting where they can't cause a scene yes i hate
Starting point is 00:28:11 that personally i don't ever think that should be a thing really no because sometimes the the scene is the emotional outburst and sometimes you've got to go through that emotional outburst before you can see reason like and i i'm getting a sense that this person... And I'm not worried about the rebound aspect. That's fine. Some people need a rebound. That's cool. What I'm not impressed with is that...
Starting point is 00:28:36 Did she say how long Good Egg and her have been together? No. No. But, I mean, looking at this, surely it's not got to be too long if she's feeling like it's a rebound i'd say it's within the first six weeks it's got to be it got to be okay so another red flag for me is the fact that a son has not been mentioned so a child has not been mentioned secret son no good secret son if this is where i sort of say okay if he was not comfortable telling her about the fact that he has a child from another relationship, that says to me it's not serious.
Starting point is 00:29:09 So, I would sit my friend down and say, hey, I've noticed this. I just want to check in with you. Because giving the option of saying I want to check in with you, I think that is going to be a safer way of having that conversation without accusations or without emotional responses. The only reason I say emotional responses in that is because if the divorce is truly messy, then I think there could be a trauma response of, well, what do you mean? What do you mean? I can't see him. Like, it's not like that. People get defensive naturally when they feel questioned. So I think Candice, you need to sit your friend down and come at it from a neutral perspective and just say, I just want to check in. Yeah. How's it going? And if she, and if your friend brings up any of the befores, then elaborate on it.
Starting point is 00:30:05 But I really highly do not recommend sitting down and saying, I think this, I think that, I think this. Because at the end of the day, they're her decisions, not yours. So that would be my advice on that. I would love an update on that as well, actually. If you're listening, Candice, and you know this is about you, I would love an update if you ever do anything. Because that is worrying as well, more than anything, for two people involved. But at the same time, it's also very cheesy. Great advice.
Starting point is 00:30:35 You know what? Thank you so much. I know I had my reservations, but Aunty Oscar, I think you did wonderfully. Thank you so much Ask Aunty Oscar What to do You're listening to Is It Just Me?
Starting point is 00:30:59 The rude shocks of young adulthood After all that advice giving I'm fucking exhausted Does someone else Want to take over? Well actually You know what I do
Starting point is 00:31:09 I promised you guys That there would be An update Oh yeah Yeah yeah yeah For our Japan Japan Because
Starting point is 00:31:16 The thing that I did not expect Is that You idiots again Have been so supportive And there has not been A single no vote On the Enduring Aliens poll as to whether we should go to Japan.
Starting point is 00:31:27 You want us to go to Japan? You want us to go to Japan? And honestly, I mean, I think it should happen, but there's some surprises. Well, the surprises are, and drum roll, we don't have any money. Oh. No, but the kiddio. But there's nothing in the kiddio? That's what the bank says to me.
Starting point is 00:31:47 I think they might be lying. Oh. Are you kidding me? What kind of surprise is that? Well, that's not the surprise. Oh. Oh. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:31:56 That's not the surprise? No, no. Because when I was talking to the powers at be that run the kiddio and also run the admin side of this podcast. Oh, yeah, yeah. Is it just them? Yeah. Is it just they, them?
Starting point is 00:32:11 Yeah, carry on. Yeah, exactly. It turns out that we may have an ability to be able to do this. Oh, my God. As long as we generate our own revenue stream. Oh. So I've asked a couple of questions like, okay, well, you know, how can we do that?
Starting point is 00:32:30 You know, is it a matter of do we, you know, do extra ads? Do we have to like go do some dubious things? Do I have to send Aunty Oscar over to some guy's house? Like these are the things I've had to ask. Not you trying to pimp me out. No, never. Not again. Not again.
Starting point is 00:32:49 I mean, I know times are tough, but, like, I'm not ready yet. And so I would like to introduce something very, very brand new to our podcast. And that is the Misfits merch line. What? We have merch? the Misfits merch line. What? We have merch? We have merch.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Oh, my God. So not right now, but midweek, we think. You'll be able to go to acoupleofmitches.com.au. Okay, I just want to let the idiots know, Jenna and I genuinely did not know this was happening. Oh, my God. Yep. If you go a few days from now to acoupleofmitches.com.au, you can go to a brand new section of the website that says The Misfits.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Oh, my God. Oh, my God. What the fuck? Oscar, we've made it. Jenna, we finally have made it. We don't need the bitches anymore. We're stars. We are stars. We are stars.
Starting point is 00:33:46 We're going to win an Acra. We're going to win apricots. Oh, my God. So, we have a couple of options. And at this time, it is all wearables. So, you yourself can get yourself this very, very stylish Misfit T-shirt. I'm going to get that. Oh, I want that already.
Starting point is 00:34:07 It comes in black with the phrase Misfit on the T-shirt. Very, very nice. Oh, God, I love that. That is the first one. The second one that we have for Auntie Oscar. It is a hoodie in pink with the phrase chicken. Oh, I'm getting that too. Oh my God, Sam.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Chicken. Oh my God. I love that. We also have. I'm getting that, yep. Jesus Christ. Oh my God. We also have a hoodie as well.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Oh God. And. Oh God, I'm so scared. This is all so good. Compared to some of the shit that I've said on this show. Oh, God. And... Oh, God, I'm so scared. This is all so cool. Compared to some of the shit that I've said on this show, oh, my God. And so I am absolutely delighted
Starting point is 00:34:52 to tell you that we also have a design that says right here, self-indulgent cow. Oh, my God, no! I want that too. That's the one I want. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Oh, my God. So that is all of the Kirk merch, is what I call that too. That's the one I want. Oh, my God. So that is all of the Kirk merch is what I call that. The Kirk merch. Oh, nice. Holy shit. Okay, again, idiots. The reactions out of Jenna and I are so genuine. Because we had no idea.
Starting point is 00:35:22 No. No idea. I remember Sam saying in our group chat, like, I can't wait for, like, you know, to do something. And we were like, fuck, all right. Yeah. And people were asking about Misfits merch. That's true.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Weirdly, yeah. Weirdly, yeah. Which was not prompted by any of us. They're none of our finsters. No. No burner accounts. We honestly did not think that this would actually be something possible. No.
Starting point is 00:35:44 But what the powers that be, is it just they, them, do say that whatever we raise in terms of revenue with those shirts and hoodies and all available merch will go entirely to a charity. And that charity is us getting to Japan. Yay! No one's not saying thank you. We are the charity. Sam, you scared me for a second. I know. I was going to say. I was like, aren is us getting to Japan yay thank you we are the charity Sam you scared me for a second
Starting point is 00:36:07 I know I was going to say I was like aren't we going to Japan I'm not fucking paying but yeah if you want to go check it out we've got a couple
Starting point is 00:36:15 of Misfits merch in line with a couple of Mitch's merch links and everything I'm sure you all know what it is already yeah so that's going to be
Starting point is 00:36:22 we think midweek there on our Insta stories. It's also going to be there, available if you want to see it in the Endurance Idiots page. And also, if you just go to coupleofmitches.com.au, Misfits. Oh my God, I'm going to cry. This is amazing. We're not going to put any pressure on you guys.
Starting point is 00:36:37 To be honest with you, I would be surprised if we sold a single thing. But, um. Nah, fuck that. The shirt's going to sell out. Fuck that. I'm putting so much pressure on all of you. The way you all fucking carried on. If I don't hear that you bought something, I'm throwing hands.
Starting point is 00:36:53 So... You know, we've always wanted to go to Japan. And we've always wanted to go to Japan ever since show one. So if you want to hear us... Since episode one. All those years ago. So if you want to hear us yapping and japping, please donate to a starving child named Oscar.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Thank you. Because he is just a widdle girl. I'm getting a widdle girl. Oh, well, thank you so much for listening, idiots. Oh, God, I'm sorry. I'm still in disbelief. I guess all I can say is we'll catch you next week. Yeah, and coupleofmitches.com.au in just a couple of days.
Starting point is 00:37:32 The power is in your hands to get us to Jappin'. If you want me to yap and jap, then you've got to fucking hurry up. Yeah. Anyway, bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Welcome to ADD. Briefing the secret segment on the end where we just talk bullshit.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Oh, I can't breathe. Sam. Oh my God. When you said you had a surprise, that was not what I was expecting. No, me too. I want to be like real for a second. Oh. First of all, I never. I want to be, like, real for a second. First of all, I never thought I would ever be a part of the Is It Just Me universe to begin with. Second of all, never thought I'd be guest hosting any of it,
Starting point is 00:38:15 like bonus episodes. And third of all, never thought I'd be part of a merch line. I'm in disbelief. Like, that is amazing. How long have you been cooking that up? Yeah. I want to know. Since the start.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Oh, you cheeky bastard. This man has not said a thing to us about anything to do with merch. When we first started this podcast and Mitch approached all three of us to say, hey, do you want to be able to do this? I obviously said i'd rather die and then he convinced me um but we said as well yeah exactly you know it's i was like fuck yeah put me on i'll do it yeah um so look i mean we did a massive video call where we just talked about ideas the things that we wanted to do and uh i can't remember what it was that triggered it but
Starting point is 00:39:02 it was the idea i think it was because we had the Mona Jenner out. Yeah. And the idea of having our own merch was so dumb that it had to happen for a bonus show that lasts four episodes. Yeah. No, but, like, I agree, though. But I think that The Misfits, we... I mean, we've been the spare wheels now for quite a while.
Starting point is 00:39:22 That's true. I think it was a matter of time. That's true. And it's been you guys that have called us the misfits and actually just given us a self-contained title and everything. And it's been, like, we're genuinely so touched by all that support. And we don't actually expect you to go out and buy this stuff. No, like, all jokes aside, like, obviously the real ones are listening to...
Starting point is 00:39:41 Well, the real ones are listening to ADD Brief. But, yes, I do stand with Jenna when I say that, yes, I expect you to buy something. But at the end of the day as well, the fact that there's merch with the Misfits on it, I just am still in such disbelief about that. I know. I never thought I'd ever be a part of it. Sorry, I'm getting a bit emotional now. Jesus, it's actually quite touching.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Oh my God, guys. This is cute. Love you. I love you. I actually was not expecting this. I would get up and be tired. No, it's okay. I just, yeah, just to be a part of that.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Just to bring this up again, self-indulgent cow. I'm obsessed with that so much. Yeah, I just never, ever thought that something like that would happen. So, oh, sorry. Hang on. Talk amongst yourself. Give me two seconds. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:40:31 I'm so excited. This is not a bit, by the way. Oscar's actually genuinely quite touched by that. Yeah, he really is. I'm sorry. He really is. It's really sweet. I actually really like that.
Starting point is 00:40:41 I'm not good with, I don't like to show too much emotion. Oh, no, but you should. You're just a weirdo girl. Fuck, I'm out of tissues. Wait, I got some. I've only got sugar water. Oh, look, look, look. Wait, here you go.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Jesus. Oh, my God. And they're weirdo for a weirdo girl. Weirdo ones. Oh, dear. Oh, Oscar. Oh, Oscar. Oscar's upset. It's been one of those days, really, hasn't it?
Starting point is 00:41:09 I'm just laughing now just because of Jenna. Like, Jenna, when we did the horn segment last week, when we listened to gorgeous Alana B. Dutton, who I still am watching, by the way, Jenna, when I still am watching, by the way. Jenna, when I got the spirit, sorry, just a quick recap, because last week, obviously, we did the Horned Up movie theme. You got the spirit?
Starting point is 00:41:35 Oh, the movie, the spirit. The movie, yeah. So we were guessing the movie, and it was a horse movie, Spirit, Staling the Cimarron. And the whole reason you put that in was to give Jenna a chance, because she is quintessential horse girl. And then she got it. Well, I got it so quickly. You gotessential horse girl. And then she got it. Well, I got it so quickly. You got it really quickly.
Starting point is 00:41:48 I got it so quickly. I will admit to this. I've listened back to just that specific moment because it's so funny to me. Because while I'm laughing and Jenna's just in the back going. It was very upsetting for me. No, and to be fair, there's a lot of that noise, Jenna. I'm not going to lie to you. I was very upset. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:42:12 So Sam is now showing us the actual footage from the studio of the Horned Up movie. I'm going to see if we can find this. Here we go. Oh, it's that one. A spirit. Sally to the Simmerall. can find this here we go look at you you're so devastated okay just just we're just gonna look at that face now i've got tears of joy joy Alright, we have rambled on so much today And honestly, at this point, we're just We're losing it We're just little girls
Starting point is 00:42:55 Okay, I'm going to turn all of you microphones off Well, look, we hope this podcast Has made you feel at least 2% better today That's all. Just two. And so we do. Thank you so much, guys. Love you.
