This is, Is It Just Me? Hosted by a couple of, ahem, misfits.
Who?
Yes, it's Mitchell and the misfits. Hello you.
Hello you.
Contraceptive diaphragm Sam, roving reporter Oscar back again.
Oh yeah.
Here we are reporting for duty.
I feel like the odd one out, as always.
Why?
Because I'm the new kid.
I'm a new misfit.
Well, if anyone's the odd one out, it's me.
Because while you both have gorgeous, luscious locks, I've got two hairs on my forehead.
But they're lovely hairs.
Thank you so much.
I washed them.
I've got barely any on my forehead.
It's all over the back.
That receding hairline.
Oh, God.
Tell me about it.
It's happening to me, too. I realised. Oh, I can see it now that your hair's tied over the back. That receding hairline. Oh, God, tell me about it. It's happening to me too.
I've realised.
Oh, I can see it now that your hair's tied up, actually.
Every single time I have like a life change, I go, it's time to chop it all off.
And then I start looking at photos.
I'm like, oh, what did my hair look like when it was short?
And then I start to realise that every year it's going further and further back.
No, but I like you with my hair.
But imagine just never having it at the front.
Because my receding hairline is not a new thing.
It's not receding.
It's receded from birth.
Thanks, Ian, for those genes.
Yeah, yeah.
Look, it has always been a problem.
It's not stress-induced, the receding.
Just genetics.
Yeah.
We're just stressed anyway.
Fuck.
Because Sam is very stressed.
He's just started a new job.
If you're new here, where do you work again?
Wallace Bishop, actually.
Wallace, yeah.
Wallace and Bishop.
Yeah.
How is Wallace when he's at home?
You know, actually, I decided I'd do a bit of a deep dive into both Wallace and Bishop.
Are they two different people?
No.
Oh.
Yeah.
Well, that's why we did the deep dive, just to find out if it was two or more people.
I thought it was Wallace and Gromit teaming up with Angela Bishop.
Wallace and Bishop together at last.
What does that make me?
The were-rabbit?
I don't know who that is.
There is a movie called Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
I remember all the ads for it.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah.
We're on buses and things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't grow up around buses. Yeah, true. I didn't see this shit. Yeah, true. Look, that was right. Yeah. We're on buses and things. Yeah. Oh, I didn't grow up around buses.
I don't see this shit. Yeah, true.
Look, that was a City Keep thing, I suppose.
All you had was Wynn Television
and... McLeod's
Daughters, mate. Yeah, there you go. And Prime
Possum. And what more could you ask for
than Prime Possum and McLeod's
Daughters? Oh, McLeod
had a farm. Oh, okay, okay.
Anyway. If it's your first daughters. Oh, McLeod had a farm. Oh, okay, okay. Anyway,
if it's your first
time listening, this is not a regular
Is It Just Me? It is Mitchell and the
Misfits. Oh, back again!
Thierry and Jenna are back next week.
Yes. Or so they say.
Well, we'll find out next week.
We will find out. We are currently live
from my penthouse. And it's a gorgeous
penthouse at that. I'm very fond of the penthouse. And it's a gorgeous penthouse at that.
I'm very fond of the penthouse.
Well, you live in some sort of shipping container,
so you would be fond of the penthouse, wouldn't you?
Yeah, but listen, IKEA has been very kind to my shipping container.
IKEA!
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
It's already feral and we've just started.
We've just started.
We're three minutes in.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How are you both going with the hay fever?
Because once again, I've still got the diffuser going with eucalyptus oil.
Oh, God. I for one have never felt better or looked better.
What are you laughing at?
Oh, I was just laughing at the air.
Pollen everywhere.
Pollen everywhere.
Fuck spring. I don't give a fuck anymore. Like, fuck you, spring. Pollen everywhere. Pollen everywhere. Fuck spring.
I don't give a fuck anymore.
Like, fuck you, spring.
I hate you.
After all of this positivity I've had about retail, I had someone sneeze in my face just yesterday.
And I apologized for that.
Oh, my God.
It's because of this fucking hay fever.
Oh, you would sneeze in someone's face.
I would, yeah.
I've got a personal beef with spring at the moment.
Is it just me on the fly?
When you sneeze, do you make it a personal mission to make it as quiet as possible?
Because, stay with me.
Stay fucking with me.
I'm here.
We're here.
Some people liken sneezing to an orgasm.
I have heard this.
And so, I feel that rather than letting it unleash like,
if you try and stifle it, it's the equivalent of edging.
If you hold back a sneeze and you make it as quiet as possible,
it just feels so much better.
You're like this.
You're like.
It's so good.
It's so good.
Make it as quiet as possible
And you'll feel all the sensations
I absolutely fucking agree
Right
It's really not just you
During COVID you had to sneeze into your elbow
Do that and try and make as least amount of noise as possible
And you will feel amazing
Oh okay well there's a challenge for me
That's my self care tip for the week idiots
Well there's a challenge for me this episode
If I need to sneeze I I'll make an orgasmic.
If someone had a sneezegasm next to me on the metro, I would move 14 carriages away.
No, but Sam, you don't know they're having a sneezegasm because it's so subtle and personal.
That's so true.
So, like, I go like this if I feel one coming on.
Because I'm one of those weird people where if I catch the sun in my
eyesight I sneeze it's called photic sneeze reflex it's been on this podcast before oh okay
photic sneeze reflex oh fuck it sneeze reflex yeah okay Jenna can you oh fuck anyway so if you try
and stifle it to the point where no one hears it it feels amazing just try it next time yeah I mean
I guarantee I'm probably going to want to sneeze at some point because of my
fucking hay fever.
You're not bitter about it, though.
No, fuck spring.
No.
This time of year, fucking hell.
I'm having a great time at this time of year.
Apart from, apart from.
Oh, yeah.
Most of the time when things are in bloom, it's a blessing.
Like the jacarandas, every man and their basic dog is out and about getting Instagram photos.
However-
I love a good jacaranda.
As some of you might have seen on my Instagram, TikTok, what have you, Oscar and I were in
Forbes and the notorious cum trees were in full bloom.
Don't-
I feel sick just even talking about it.
It's a very narrow window every spring, maybe one maximum two weeks where they smell like semen, these particular trees.
And turns out they're everywhere.
It's the first time I've been in Forbes for spring.
And so I was like, what is that stench that I've never recognized the whole fucking 18 years I grew up here?
And I was like, it smells like semen.
And then when I did a reverse Google search on my phone, it just brought up Reddit threads saying, come trees, jizz trees.
I never actually found out what they're called.
That was honestly one of the most heinous experiences of my life when I just shoved my hole.
If you watch the video, you'll see that I shoved my face.
Shoved his hole.
It was quite clear.
I went back first and shoved my hole.
Like, fuck, what part of that did you miss?
Shoving my entire face and nose into that, like, sliver of petal
and I just – I nearly threw up.
Like, how sick was I in the car, Mitchell?
Disproportionately.
Yeah.
Because I was the one being dramatic, which, as you know, is not like me.
No, never.
What are you laughing at?
I was being dramatic and I was like, Oscar, can you smell that?
And he was like, no, I can't really notice it.
And then once I clocked that it smells like jizz, I said, can you get up close and sniff one?
And he was being so blasé.
I was.
So chill about it.
And then as soon as he got right up in the business of the cum smell and took a deep load.
Which, as we know, is not like me.
No.
He was really, really quite rattled.
And I didn't have heaps of empathy because he was the one saying to me,
I can't smell anything.
What's wrong with you?
And my parents were driving us back to Bogengate and Oscar was there going,
like a cat with a hairball.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was genuinely dry heaving in the back seat what do
you mean like it was awful unless you've experienced it samuel like apparently they're called decorative
pear trees some of our idiots might have experienced this we used to have them in my high school and i
remember oh yeah i remember like a bunch of guys we were all leaving PE because it was when we had like the separated PE class.
Just so you know, you've described my nightmare, leaving PE.
As if the cum smell wasn't bad enough in the PE change room.
I mean, honestly, if you told me that when I was 15, maybe that's a different story.
But like nowadays, I'm like, just go have a shower.
Have a shower.
Bin the Lynx Africa body scrub, body spray, body whatever.
All in one.
All in one. All in one.
You know, ditch the two-in-one shampoo conditioner and just grow up and have a fucking normal
shower and put on some Rexona.
You were saying?
Yeah, sorry, what were you saying?
No, I remember because we had the cum trees out the front of where the change rooms were.
So, the entire change rooms had the stench of cum.
On top of the crusty cum rags that were already in there.
Exactly.
It was that, like, with Lynx Africa.
But I remember it was a real bonding moment.
We were waiting for the teacher and finally someone said it
and it was like, it smells like cum here, doesn't it?
And we were all like, yeah, it really does.
And the teacher was like, how would you know?
You're in year three.
Anyway.
Anyway.
If it's your first time listening, welcome to Is It Just Me?
We kick off every episode with an Is It Just Me each,
which is something we've noticed, hate or appreciate.
Mine is something that I hate, which, as you know, is not like me.
No, not at all.
It's not ray of sunshine.
What about you two?
Have you got a good hook this time?
Well, I feel like I do this time around.
Mine is like, you know, along the realms of when is it appropriate to be an absolute gronk?
Always.
Next.
So, you draw the line somewhere interesting.
I do, surprisingly.
Samuel?
Hmm.
I feel like that we need better entertainment in a very specific part of our viewing experience.
Oh, viewing.
Okay.
So, we're not included in that.
That's fine.
Are we talking porn?
I keep forgetting that we've got a straight man on the show.
I know. so do I.
Very different viewing experience.
Very different.
Well, I mean, you know, I mean, Sam and I have been married for 30 years, but it's only
recently that he's discovered I'm not an actual woman.
I know, it was quite a shock to me.
Yeah.
30 years and you've only just figured it out.
It was the cum trees.
I finally figured it out for myself.
And there were no trees near your marital unit.
It was just Oscar and that's how you figured it out. myself. And there were no trees near your marital unit. It was just Oscar.
And that's how you figured it out.
I was.
The cum smell.
I thought it was like one of those detergents that you put in with the sheets.
As if he knows how to use a washing machine.
I do.
No, you don't.
Yes, I do.
Just not every single washing machine.
I can work mine at home to buggery.
You open it up.
You load it up with clothes. well, you load it up with clothes
and then you put in the powder
and then you... Do you realise that we know this?
Yeah, I know, but... And every
washing machine's the same. It's like every microwave's
a bit different, but you fucking figure it out.
Yeah, but like, you know how there's the ones
that, you know, they have the
spinny thing that, you know, you look...
Shut up. You don't know either?
Oh, no, all of them have a spinny thing. No, they all have a spinny thing that, you know, you look. Shut up. You don't know either? Oh, no.
All of them have a spinny thing.
No, they all have a spinny thing.
But you know how some, like, you can view in it,
but then there's the ones that you don't.
They're the ones that I know.
But then when you throw a spinning one, like a visual. Oscar, you can be vulgar.
Just say it.
It's a top loader.
Not a front loader.
Tag yourself.
Anyway, I'm going first, Bradley.
You're better.
Is it just me or?
Do Amazon need to sell more singular items?
Singular items?
Singular items.
Singular items.
Why are you buying like the 18 pack of like a one tiny thing?
Well, I have to because I have no other choice, Sam.
I only want one of the items.
But so many things on Amazon are like 20-pack, 40-pack.
So, we're currently in my penthouse.
Yes, we're in the gorgeous penthouse.
And see how that air conditioner remote is on the couch haphazardly about the home.
Yes.
I'm a fan of a latch on the wall.
I do love a latch on the wall. My one bedder had a latch on the wall. I do love a latch on the wall.
My one bedder had the latch on the wall.
It was a gorgeous latch on the wall.
The air con mount.
Yes.
And it's just so convenient because there's no,
oh, where the fuck did the remote go?
Yeah.
And so I went on Amazon.
In a latch on the wall.
Yes, exactly.
You know where to go to find it.
I went on Amazon and I tried to find one adhesive,
because I'm in a rental.
Of course.
Yeah.
Aircon mount for the wall.
And it's like 10 pack aircon mount.
I don't have that many fucking aircons.
I don't.
Not even in a penthouse.
I don't have that many aircons.
Why do I need 10 mounts?
Then you'll have spares.
Why would I need spares?
Why would we need a spare?
What are we going to do?
Divvy them up as presents?
I don't have fucking air con.
Don't you?
No.
That would be such an insult if I gave you an air con right now.
And then I also, on Amazon, tried to buy, our idiots would remember,
for mine and Sean's anniversary present, well, for his present, whatever um i got him the doctor who chest set oh i saw that that was lovely it was so lovely
it's so beautiful no he loved it he absolutely loved it oh yeah i was there when he unwrapped
it it was gorgeous and we all know the hurdles that i had to go through it if you're a regular
idiot of ours uh i had to get the chest pieces and they just sent the pieces without the board.
That's right.
And I was like, well, fuck me.
More fool me, assuming the board came with it when it says chess set.
I guess I should have read the fine print.
And so I got the chess board and the chess board in the photos
had like a bit of foam inside the board when you open the hatch.
Yeah.
And it's like every single pawn has its own designated slot in the foam,
you know?
It's like carved especially.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So because I ordered chessboard only because I already had the pawns,
they sent no foam.
Oh.
No foam inside the board.
It's hollow wood.
I forgot about that.
So if you knock on Sean's chessboard, it's like –
you can hear the echo.
It's meant to be filled with fame to protect the pawns.
And so I thought, it's fine.
I love problem solving.
Of course.
I'm a solutions driven bitch.
And so I went on Amazon and I thought, you know what I'll get?
You know how if you buy, I don't know, a necklace or something,
you get a jewellery pouch with the drawstring?
Yeah, yeah.
I thought I'll get a large jewellery pouch on Amazon
and it was like 40-pack jewellery pouches
and I'm like, I only need one for the pawns.
Only one.
Why don't I do 40?
What am I going to do with that? I just need one. For fuck pawns. Only one. Why don't we do 40? What are we going to do with that?
I just want one.
For fuck's sake.
And then we moved into the penthouse.
Sean decided to get this here coffee table right before your eyes.
It's a very nice coffee table, to be fair.
It's so nice, but you know what would be nicer?
Yes.
See the door where you open for the
storage compartment underneath oh yeah see how it doesn't quite line the fuck up oh no see now
you've seen it you can't see it can you see you you and your ocd would love that shit that's not
ocd that's just human rights i want my coffee table to be parallel to the floor.
I'm sorry.
Call me old fashioned.
I don't want the door to droop.
This is very disappointing.
Right?
And so I thought, okay, again, solutions driven bitch.
Yeah.
I'll go on Amazon and I'll get some latches.
80 pack of latches.
Who needs 80 latches?
I don't know what sort of scabby landlord is going on Amazon to buy latches for his mansion.
I only need two latches for the top and the bottom of the coffee table that doesn't line up.
It's very distressing.
You know the thing that really annoys me, though though is that you find the thing that's got like the
80 pack of whatever it is. And it's
perfect. Yeah. You want that.
Yeah. And it's not that many. No.
And the one that's just like, even if it's a two pack
because there's never one. If you do get
one, you'll get the two pack. The two pack will be twice
as much. And it will ship slower.
We can get it there by 10pm
tonight, but you need a hundred of them.
Not one. Not two, a hundred.
I need to go to AliExpress.
No, you don't.
No, you do not.
I've all not.
Oh, really?
I ordered a costume from AliExpress for Halloween.
What was the costume?
I think it was like a sexy...
That's it.
Yeah, it was something sexy.
I want to look sexy.
It was like a bodysuit.
Like it was like a sexy
like red bodysuit
that I was going to wear.
Oh God, it would have been
see-through.
Well, it turned up
and it was like
three sizes too small.
Oh, you would have
squeezed in.
I tried,
but my ass was too fat.
The story of his life.
I know.
I genuinely wish
I was being funny.
My ass was too big for it.
My package was fine, but the back end was just too big.
Can I pivot?
Yes.
Please.
Oscar's version of his package is fine is so different to most people with human decency.
He was getting ready for a wedding that I took him to.
My gorgeous friend, Katie.
No.
Okay.
Yeah. Go on on, expose me.
Was in the spare room in my parents' home in Bogengate.
He got ready for the wedding and he walks out in his clothes and goes, how do I look,
Chook?
And I said, you got to do something about the bulge.
It's way too much.
What's the male equivalent of a camel toe?
Moose snuggle.
Way too much. And I said to him, it's fine because as a well-endowed woman myself
who likes to wear tight gear, I deal with this often.
What you got to do?
What you got to do is put on two pairs of undies and then a pair of gym shorts,
like a Spanx sort of thing.
No, not Spanx, skins.
Skins.
Well, I mean, Spanx kind of counts.
Yeah, whatever.
The bike shorts, you know, lycra sort of thing.
Yeah.
It's like a sports bra, but for your boys.
Yes.
They don't do much holding.
It's just the padding.
It just kind of diffuses the bulge.
And so, I sent him back to his room with a pair of my brother's skims that he wore when he was in the under eight football team.
Oh, my God.
I sent him in there with a pair of boxes that I made in sewing class in year eight.
Oh, it's nice to get value out of that.
And I said, this should be enough to diffuse it.
Because he's just so oblivious to how huge his member is.
I'm just such a well-endowed woman.
I can't, like, I just don't care.
Now, I'm going to be very honest with everyone.
Contraceptive diaphragm Sam, ro reporter, Oscar, and you, our idiots.
Hello, idiots.
Yes.
I don't know where we're up to.
Who's it?
Jim, is it?
We're not even out of the first it, Jim, yet.
Shit.
Fuck.
Make it quick.
Go.
Who's next?
Yeah, all right.
I'll go.
I'll go.
Oscar's next?
Yeah, I'll go.
Don't make it as long as everything else of yours.
Oh!
Oh, you'd know, darling.
Is it just me or...
Should we maybe wear shoes on public transport?
Yeah.
Oh, my fucking God.
Only maybe.
Because...
Only maybe?
Here's the thing.
Every fucking single time I get on any form of bus or a train and there's just one.
Ferries.
Because they just roll on in from Manly Beach.
Shoes off, tails around the waist.
But what they will do is they will, and I feel like everyone listening knows exactly who I'm talking about because it's a specific person.
Give them a name.
Is it a man or a woman?
Oh, it can be both.
Okay, then you talk Brody.
Fucking Brody will get on fully shooed.
And I'm not talking like a sandal or like, you know, a thong or something.
I'm talking a tightly laced up sneaker that they've just taken the time
and they've sat down and they've taken those
bastards off and let the dogs free.
Oh, no.
They take their shoes off on the train.
On the train.
Wow.
I've never seen this.
If you get on the train with no shoe on.
Well, first thing, I would never.
Like, look, there's a time and a place for it.
For being a gronk.
For being a gronk.
And the train is not it.
And the reason why this popped into my
head is because it happened recently i was going to chatswood sorry to hear that thank you yes it
was a it was a tough time for all involved but i got on and this woman gets on and number one it
was a full train oh there's no air con in the trains so it's hot as all fuck because it's
sardines oh no i hate everything about this and. And she just sat down, took her shoes off.
And when I say took her shoes off, socks included.
What was she wearing?
A lovely lilac cardigan.
I meant the shoe.
Oh, a shoe.
I don't care about her full getup.
Well, she was wearing Skechers.
What's that?
When I used to sell shoes back in the day, the Skechers were the ones that I would give to older women.
Jenna, can you go?
I'll Google it.
Jenna seems the type to wear a Skecher, to be honest.
Oh, she'd be very Skechers.
I feel like Jenna would wear a Skecher.
She is genuinely a Skecher.
Oh, I've seen.
Oh, my God.
Jenna would wear a Skecher.
Jenna would wear a Skecher.
Wouldn't she?
Jenna would absolutely wear.
And that would suit her, but she wouldn't take them off on the train.
No, because as much as our Jenna stinks, as much as our Jenna stinks,
she does have the common decency to leave her fucking shoes on on the train.
I think she takes them off when she goes to bed.
She just sprays on a little bit of Febreze, you know, puts them on.
But this fuck-ass toad of a woman just sat, like, two rows in front of me.
And, like, on the opposite.
So, I could literally see where, like, eye level is her fucking big toe.
And she just took all of it off.
The foot came up and she goes, keep your fucking shoes on.
I don't care if you did a 15 hour day
I don't give three fucks
If your foot is about to fall off
You keep that bastard on
And that goes for planes as well
I was going to ask that
People who take their shoes off on planes
Have a special place in hell
And I will personally put you there with the month of spring
Alright so here's a scenario
You've got an 18 hour flight
You've got a clean sock
A nice clean shoe,
but halfway through that flight, you're starting to feel like the ache.
You're starting to feel a bit sweaty in the foot.
That's true.
May I interject?
Sorry, yes.
Yes.
Don't be a clown.
Wear thongs and or slides on a flight.
Thank you.
That was what I was about to say.
You dress for comfort, not for fashion.
If you've got laced up shoes on a flight, that's your funeral.
Not everyone else's.
I agree.
If you're going to be the dickhead that wears lace up shoes, you keep those fucking bastards
on for all night.
I will say this.
Oscar is so polite because his feet stink and he's aware.
I'm aware.
So, whenever he pops over to my place, he will take his shoes off on the balcony and he will hang out there for like at least 30 seconds, but maximum five minutes.
And he will like air the feet out.
Yeah.
And he'll walk back inside and be like, are my feet all right?
And on a good day, I'll be like, they're fine.
On a really bad day, which doesn't happen often.
It's probably happened twice.
I'll be like, jump in the bath.
Just rinse them off. Because he works retail. I work retail. I'm on my feet all
day. So like, I'm fully aware that like, I'm so sorry. I don't mean to be a grotty bitch,
but let me sort it out in a polite manner. He's so respectful. He doesn't just get his
dogs out, pop them up, create a footrest in a public space. No, he's not Brodie. No, in my lilac cardigan. And this is the reason after a long day of recent retail for me,
these shoes will never be coming off in this house.
Thank you.
Well, it's actually a shoes off penthouse.
Is it just me?
You can follow the show online.
Just search couple of Mitches.
If you don't, you're a dickhead.
Now, idiots, we've got a big couple of weeks coming up on the podcast.
We've got, firstly, Cheery's birthday.
Still open to suggestions as to what I should do.
That's next week.
The week after, can you believe this?
Our five-year anniversary.
Jesus.
Five years?
Five years.
That's wild.
I remember when you started it.
Same.
You might want to miss the five-year anniversary one.
I'll tell you something's going to happen.
Don't want to miss that.
Celebrity guests.
Hello.
Jenna will be back.
Anyway, Sam, your itcham, please.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Hit us with it.
Is it just me or do we need better ads?
Have you not heard Mine and Cherry's ads in this podcast?
They're pretty good.
Well, I mean, obviously, that aside.
And speaking of which, we're bombarded with ads at all points
no matter where we are
on the internet
that's so true actually
like you can't even
scroll through TikTok
without the fourth video

Prime Possum and McLeod's Daughters on Wynn Television-
No, they were different channels.
Doesn't matter.
That's true.
Different channels.
Yeah, well, whatever.
But as you're flicking around, you would see these iconic ads that have stayed with us
before.
Just before, I can't remember why, but we were singing the 1800s-
Oh, the Reading Writing Hotline. Yes, we were. Hang on, Jenna, can you- Oh, but we were singing the 1800s. Oh, the Reading Writing Hotline.
Yes, we were.
Hang on, Jenna, can you?
Oh, that's right.

It's so good.
But this is my point.
We don't have any of those anymore.
Sing along with us, girls.

Writing your wrongs.
I have so many issues writing my wrongs when I'm trying to read the room.
Yeah, I need your help.
Thanks.
It's Oscar.
And I can't read the room.
Hang on.
Okay.
Great ad.
Amazing ad.
Yes.
Up there with that for me is
come in and see the good,
good,
good guys.
Pay less and we'll slash the prices.
Come in and see the good, good, good guys.
Good guys.
And then na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
You're right.
They don't do iconic ads like that.
No, there's none of that.
Because we see ads all the time on TikTok and I apologise.
But you keep scrolling and you forget about it.
Yes.
Because stick with you like our jingle.
But even like the ads without the jingle,
like how often do we just say, not happy, Jan?
Yes.
Oh, yes.
And that's almost, what, 35 years ago?
I think it's older than that now.
Oh, God.
I think that was an ad from like the 80s.
Jan, can you – oh, never mind.
Mitchell, can you Google when that
Yellow Pages ad came out, please?
Yeah, I'm on it.
Yeah, thanks.
So, not happy, Jen.
But also, like,
what about the Ajax spray and wipe?
Ajax spray and wipe
makes everything alright.
Oh, by the way, year 2000
was not happy, Jen!
Oh, was that the year 2000?
Yes.
I thought it was older than that.
You weren't even born! No!
I'm only 17!
Okay, so you know the Ajax Spray
and Wipe ad off by heart, surely.
Go.
Ajax Spray and Wipe makes everything
alright. Makes cleaning
oh so easy.
You forgot the first verse. Did I forget the first verse?
Where it's like a wedding
and all these people are coming over.
No, I don't remember that bit.
I only remember the last bit.
Oh, I'll find it.
Names cleaning, oh, so easy.
It's tough on all things crazy.
The wedding was a hit.
See, the wedding was a hit was a callback to something that happened earlier.
It's a huge plot.
Oh, God.
But, like, you know, I agree.
Like, ads just don't have plot lines anymore. Here we go. Whoop. Whoop a huge plot. Oh, God. But, like, you know, I agree. Like, ads just don't have plot
lines anymore. Here we go. Whoop.
Whoop. Whoop.
Got a call from Suze, our daughter.
Something had distraught her.
The wedding place in town had just
built to the ground. So the guests were
coming here to a mess that was
severe. I text Ryan, wife,
make everything alright.
The mum's house is a fright.
The daughter's wedding venue burnt down.
I hate it when that happens.
Mum, hi, it's me.
Sorry you weren't invited to the wedding for some reason.
But we're all coming to your place.
And she goes, fuck, I'll get the Ajax spray and wipe.
Continue.
Continue.
All right.
Makes cleaning oh so easy.
It's tough on all things greasy.
The wedding wasn't hit.
The house looked great, I must admit.
So thank you.
Ajax, Ray and Mike.
The best part about that specific Ajax ad is the fact that it's such a bogan accent.
The guests are coming here.
But this is the thing.
We've had this.
There's so much of that over the years.
Yeah.
More smart, more safe, more teen.
More smart, more safe, more teen.
Oh, my God.
That was beautiful.
That was so stunning.
Are we a barbershop trio?
All of a sudden?
Yeah.
Yeah.
What about this?
Lucky, you're with Amyy i did this i noticed you
oh yeah that's fine yeah no carry on what other ads are there uh actually oh my god hang on
is it just me on the fucking flight everyone shut the fuck up do you remember the original
harvey norman ad go Go Harvey Norman, go!
She was so camp.
Yeah.
Hang on, here it is.
Go Harvey Norman, go!
They used to be like the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.
Go Harvey Norman, go!
And then they changed that halfway through and now it's just like, go Harvey Norman.
And it's like, it's not the same.
There's no gusto with the go.
It's just go. Yeah. Are you right? There's a lot going on in the same. There's no gusto with the goat. It's just goat.
Yeah.
Are you right?
There's a lot going on in the corner. I'm so sorry.
I had a hay fever moment.
Because fuck spring.
I just have a personal vendetta.
Clearly.
You're listening to Is It Just Me?
The rude shocks of young adulthood.
Now, as our loyal idiots know, when Oscar and I are left unsupervised on this podcast,
when Cheery is not here, we sometimes let you in on inside jokes of ours that are really
funny to us.
Yes.
And we're not sure if it's funny to anyone else.
Okay.
But we rolled the dice.
Yep.
Last time, when was that?
That was the
Oh that was the
Top 5 Bike Bells
Episode
The Bike Bells episode
Yes
So Cherry fucked off early
That's right
And so it was just you and I
Yes
And we introduced everyone
To our inside joke
About McLeod's daughters
Remember that?
Of course I do
What was it again?
I can't
Oh McLeod had a farm
That's right
And on that farm he had
Oh, YKYK
So, we got so many posts, like, far more than I expected in our group
Saying we pissed ourselves during this
And so, there's part of us now, Oscar and I, that thinks
Maybe our inside jokes could be outside jokes
Yeah, I think so.
It's like giving a glimpse behind the curtains, you know, of the chalkers.
It's like now that Cheery's not here, now's the right time to let people in on our outside jokes.
I think so, darling.
Now, here's the one thing that I want to flag here.
Don't bother.
Okay.
No, go on, go on.
Well, the one thing I want to flag is that when you go into a deep dive in these things,
it doesn't just go for five minutes and then end.
Years.
Years.
Honestly, at this point, years.
Well, Sam, for your information, you were here for the inception of this inside joke.
Oh, no.
I haven't given you a heads up that we're doing it again.
And I love it.
But I seem to recall you being quite amused at the time because Oscar was asleep on my
mattress.
I was ready for bed.
Sean was tucked in hours ago.
But you were still on the couch, ready to order that Uber, but you were so glued to
this inside joke, which we are about to expose to the outside.
That does sound like me, to be fair.
So, Oscar and I have an inside joke Where Stay with me Yeah yeah
We call it
The fat pride anthem game
Fuck
Yes
Yes we do
So
Any ordinary pop song
You just swap out
One of the lyrics
For the word fat
Yes
That's right
However
The rule is
There's a catch
You cannot swap out
A lyric
That makes it sound
Fat shaming.
Yes, absolutely not.
And that's why it's the fat pride anthem game.
That's right.
That's correct.
It has to be body positive, celebratory, and beautiful.
Yes, because that's what we're about with our newly formed outside jokes,
is that it's funny and a laugh, but with a positive message behind it.
Sam, you were there when we invented this.
You were, Sam.
Maybe it's gotten old, but for Oscar and I, it's brand new.
Just out of the packet.
As far as Mitchell and I are concerned,
we could have come up with this two minutes ago
and it's still just as fucking funny.
What do you think we did during the six-hour drive to Bougainvillea?
Hello.
Jesus.
So, I'll give you an example.
We weren't talking.
I'll give you an example, idiots, of how to play the game correctly.
Yes.
Because, again, the lyrics cannot be fat shaming.
No.
We don't fat shame in this penthouse.
Absolutely not.
It's true.
Well, we can't.
I mean, you used to be a heavy girl yourself.
I did.
Yeah.
And I would not appreciate the fat shaming lyrics.
No.
Which is why we've changed it.
We're going to go with J-Lo on the floor.
Oh, my favourite.
You know this song, right?
Oh, absolutely.
So, let's just have a quick listen to the lyrics.
Now, listen to this bit.
Pause.
Dance the night away, live your life and stay young on the floor. Pause. Dance the night away.
You would never change it to dance the fat away.
No.
No, never.
That's awful.
What an awful thing to say to someone.
But what you would say is.
Don't bring us to Africa.
Dance the night away, live your life and stay fat on the floor.
So dumb.
And have a great time.
Because you're beautiful.
Fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat.
Tonight we're going to be fat on the floor.
Don't you feel empowered, Sam, as a very slender man?
So, Samuel, as you can see, the aim of the game is to be positive
because we're fat.
Exactly.
That's right.
And so, I'm going to take you two on a walk down memory lane.
Lovely.
Sam, that night at God knows fucking what o'clock, when you were so swept up in mine
and Oscar's singing.
Absolutely.
That you wouldn't leave.
Just sitting there non-verbal at that point.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
You were verbal.
You were pissing yourself laughing.
You thought it was the funniest thing in the world.
This was the inaugural Fat Pride Anthem song.
Yes!
I'll be Will.i.am.
Okay.
All right.
I'll be Fergie.
That's right.
Oh, I'm getting in the zone already.
Fat Pride Anthem people ready?
Here we go.
What you gonna do with all that fat?
All that fat
inside your fat?
I'ma get, get, get,
get you fat.
Get you loved up
on my fat.
My fat, my fat.
My fat, my fat, my fat.
My fat, my fat, my fat.
My lovely lady fat.
Check it out.
See?
Do you understand the game now?
My lovely lady cat.
Lady cat.
Because it is.
If you ever thought to yourself listening to this podcast as an idiot,
you know what?
This lot would be very fun to have drinks with.
Just imagine this for the next four hours straight.
Yeah, and you couldn't drag yourself away.
That's right.
Contraceptive diaphragm, Sam.
I was tucked up in bed on my mattress.
In his jockstrap.
In my fucking jockstrap.
Serenading you with a beautiful verse of my fat.
That's right.
As a contraceptive diaphragm, I have a lot of endurance.
Don't I know it.
I'll give you another example.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Lizzo, Good As Hell.
Oh, yeah.
I do my hair toss, check my fat.
Baby, how you feeling?
Feeling fat as hell.
Hair toss, check my fat.
Baby, how you feeling?
Feeling fat as hell.
And doesn't she sound so happy?
I know.
Feeling fat as hell.
She sounds happy and positive and proud, and I'm so about it.
So, Sam.
Yes.
What do you think you could do with these lyrics?
I'm wide awake.
Oscar and I will show you.
Yeah, we'll show you.
I'm wide awake.
And that's a fact and she's fine with it.
Yeah.
Sam, do you have any songs in mind?
No.
You're not playing the game right, are you?
Am I expected to contribute here?
What happened to me being non-verbal and letting you go when you're...
No, I like it when you're verbal.
Well, do you know what?
It's fine.
You don't get it.
Oscar and I will take us home with this.
That's fine.
Let's do it.
Oh, my God.
All rise.
Australians, all let us rejoice
For we are fat and free
With gold and fat and wealth for toil
Our home is girt by fat
Our land abounds in nature's fat
Of beauty rich and fat
In history's page let every sage
Advance Australia's fat
Enjoy full fat And let us eat
Advance
Hang on.
Let us eat.
Oh, God.
Advance Australia fat.
We should have kicked Sam out for this.
The idiots would get it.
I get it.
I just, I'm just letting you go.
You were there when we came up with it.
Yeah. And so contribute, please.
Please.
I looked up songs with body parts

Sorry?
It's hard.
Maybe we should go.
Yeah, maybe we should go.
I think Sam's over it.
Well, thank God

Oh, yeah.
Honestly.
We'll go.
Is this how I just get exited from the room?
Escorted out?
Well, no.
You've fulfilled your requirements.
Okay.

Hang on.

Thank you.
Thanks for coming.
I'm on tonight.
You know my fat don't lie.
I'm starting to feel your fat.
I love it.
Have you got one more on you?
I can't feel my fat from the weekend.
Oh, I can't feel my fat when I'm with you.
But I love it.
No, no, that's fat shaming.
I can't feel my fat when I'm with you.
But I love not feeling my fat.
You should feel your fat and be grateful for your body.
Absolutely.
Keeping you alive.
Are you starting to see why I sit here non-verbal in this?
Oh.
Anyway, thanks for listening, idiots.
Anyway, idiots, thanks for coming.
Mitch and Jenna will be back on Monday for Turi's birthday,
still accepting suggestions of how to spoil that fucking bastard.
But don't post it in the Endurance, idiots.
Okay?
We don't want him to know.
Just send it to this number.
Oscar, are you ready?
Oh, shit.
Oh, God.
Oh, no.

Yeah.
No, we've been meaning to have a good debrief.
Sam, I can see you furiously typing over there.
What are you googling? I was looking for truth and dare
questions, but... Quick.
Oh, yeah, Sam, look up some truth or truth questions.
Nah, but it's all shit ones from, like, Cosmopolitan
or NBC. We can try, come on.
We can try. No good. Just risk it.
Ooh, can you roll your tongue?
Yars.
Huh? Nah, I can't.
Oh.
No, I know.
And you're a straight man.
I would imagine that that would service you.
How unhelpful.
Yeah, I would imagine that would service you very well.
Yeah, no, it's a disappointment for everyone, including myself.
Have you tried?
Yeah, it just, it doesn't work.
Doesn't work.
Nah.
That's sad.
What question are you secretly hoping no one asks you?
Oh.
I'm an open book.
Yeah.
I wear my fat on my sleeve.
Yeah.
There's very few questions that I won't answer.
What else?

recently who made me dinner and it was very very, like, there was no, like, expectations or, like, you know.

Of course I did, because I was very turned on by the lamb shakes.
What did you think?
Oh, I sucked him up on the balcony.
Yeah.
What about you, Sam?
Me?
Yeah, what's a non-sexual thing that turns you rampant?
This one's, oh, this is
so lame. But it's really just,
every single time,
it's just, like, deep eye contact.
Oh.
It'll always do it for me.
I just need someone to pay a lot of attention.
