23-12-09 - The Silly Season Is Keeping Us Busy
Hey everyone, just a quick note that we are far from done here at This Is It. We've just taken a bit of a break over the summer in Australia as it is hard to drag the boys away from the beach and get us all in the same room on a Saturday afternoon now that the women of Sydney have dusted off their bikinis. But to all our fans who have been downloading like crazy over the last two months and screaming for more content, fear not, we will return with a vengeance very soon. In the meantime have a Merry Christmas, a happy New Year and keep checking back in with us for an update.
19-8-09 - This Robin's Got More Breasts.
Just as somewhat of an 'aside' - Like most men, I do my best thinking on the toilet, and there has been many an occasion when the quaint aroma of the men's room and the sound of an automatically flushing urinal has inspired me to solve the world's problems. Today was such an occassion, as I pondered the old saying "X is Batman to Y's Robin". For long this has had slightly derogatory implications as Robin is the quintessential second fiddle, forever finishing second in the beauty pageant to Batman (most likely due to a lack of style in the swimsuit competition).
However, is Robin truely losing in this situation? Think about it, Batman is out all day and night fighting crime and staying vigilant in the battle to rid Gotham City of flamboyantly gay circus rejects. The man has little to no time off and uses what time he has resting or spending a little too much of it with a questionably effeminate butler. Meanwhile, Robin is sitting on the bench a lot, waiting for the call from Batman to jump in the game on the off occasions when he needs a hand. Robin has all the time in the world to cruise clubs and local singles bars and use the old "Hey, did you hear I'm a superhero?" and "Oh yeah, I totally know Batman. In fact, let's go and do lines back at the bat cave right now!" lines night in and night out. Robin must be deeper in vag than a gynaecologist. So next time you're laying down the 'He's Robin to my Batman' line, think twice about who the real second fiddle is.
19-8-09 - Apparently No-one Whispered To This Horse...
I'm not a massive Youtube guy, but this is probably the funniest clip I've seen in a while. In related news, I'm going straight to hell. Where were Robert Redford and Scarlett Johansson when we needed them?
7-8-09 - Victory? Check. Choreography? Check. Virginity? Double Check.
If this isn't immediately inducted into the upper pantheon of the world's greatest sporting victory celebrations then this 'man' has been the victim of a great injustice. This movie just works in so many ways, the balls of the opponent to face it, the balls of the victor to go toe to toe with said opponent mid-dance, the predominantly Asian crowd in the background wondering just what in the fuck is going on and finally the bemused shake of the head of the ref, who looks like he literally just grew his first pube as that dance was going on. Finally, was the game even over???!?
Random Flashbacks: 6-8-09 - Two Words: Holy. Shit. - Catch of the Year 2008
How did we miss this catch from last year? Simply unbelievable. Scotty's already claiming he could pull it off.....
Random Shots: 5-8-09 - Wildcard Bitches!!!
There's no way in hell I could resist posting this photo from Tiger's recent tournament victory. Yet another reason why we plug the living shit out of 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia', the greatest show on TV that no-one in Australia is watching. Watch the show, then piss your self at this photo, it will all make sense soon...........Green Man!!!

24-7-09 - Centurions Ain't Got Shit On
Me!
Be sure to listen in to this week's upcoming podcasts as the boys attempt to podcast as they stretch the power hour into the fabled 100 shots (of beer) in 100 minutes territory. The playlist is all set up and good to go and the boys will attempt to cover 100 topics in 100 minutes PTI style. A certain recipe for disaster...
23-7-09 - Take That Kenny
Loggins!!!
Recent rumblings around Sydney regarding 'This Is It' have vaulted us back up the iTunes charts to #18 when you run a general search for 'this is it'. This puts us at our rightful place above Kenny Loggins (#20) who is surely spewing and about to get 'footloose' whilst plotting a vengeful campaign to put us straight on the 'highway to the danger zone'. His plot to surpass us once again would surely come accompanied by an uplifting 80's soundtrack, no? What songs is Kenny pumping out these days? The 2009 remix: 'I'm Not Alright - The Housing Collapse Took All My Royalties'?
Show Notes: 18-7-09 - Libby Trickett's Husband Is A Power Bottom...
Here are the photos that the boys were looking at as they were judging whether or not to shoot, shag or marry Libby Trickett, Serena Williams and Lauren Jackson. Judge for yourselves!
Show Notes: 17-7-09 - Jesus Would Have Had A Killer Chip & Chase...
I couldn't help but mock this photo up with a bit of photoshop magic. Jesus Christ on a footy tour in Rio with the boys (it's a little small, but it's the best I could do on short notice - you get the idea):
