Hello?
Campbell, it's Tony and Ryan calling from Australia.
Hello.
Oh, hi, Campbell.
How are you going?
It's going really good.
I'm actually in the middle of a podcast planning meeting.
Speaking of podcasts.
Podcast planning?
Are we interrupting?
Are you planning to listen to our podcast?
I mean, I've been trying to get my coach to listen to your podcast for a long time,
but we're just planning.
We're drunk at this point.
Our podcast is related to alcohol.
Yeah, alcohol and musicals, if I'm not mistaken.
Yes, it is.
Hang on a second.
Tony's looking all smug.
Explain yourself, Tony.
I actually really don't want to explain myself because it's going to make me
sound like an absolute arsehole.
Campbell's actually sent me an email asking if I would go on their podcast
because they talk about musicals and they have a cocktail honoring the show
that they're talking about that week.
And because I'm super musical and I love musical theatre.
Have you replied?
Tony Lodge. I saw it and I thought musical theatre. Have you replied? Tony Lodge.
I saw it and I thought, that sounds so fun.
I'm super jazzed that
you actually looked at your email.
That's awesome.
I have seen it and I am actually very,
very, very excited to come, but I
have seen it and thought,
I need to reply to that email. How embarrassing for you right now?
This is so awkward. Actually, is it that embarrassing?
Because I remembered his name, remembered what the podcast was about,
and recognised him straight away.
Is that embarrassing?
No.
Thank you, Campbell.
Appreciate that.
So what time suits you for Tony to do an episode?
When do you guys record usually?
It's really random.
Really random.
Okay.
Whenever our guests are available.
Okay. Well, Tony are available. Okay.
Well, Tony's people, me, we'll get in touch with your people,
I assume you, and we'll organise the time.
Yeah, I will get in touch with you and Raven and we'll organise
when I can come on because that sounds like a lot of fun.
Oh, that is amazing.
I love y'all's podcast so much.
Thank you.
And Campbell, very quickly,
just in case people are enjoying the sound of this podcast,
give your pod a little plug while you're on the air.
Yeah, sure.
Yeah, Raven and I, we have a podcast where we get drunk
and talk about a musical and raise money for a music education.
It's called Boozicles.
You can find it wherever podcasts are found. That is Boozicles. Did you say Boozicles? Yeah. I love that's called Boozicles. You can find it wherever podcasts are found.
That is Boozicles.
Did you say Boozicles?
Yeah.
I love that name.
Yeah, Boozicles.
That's so good.
As much as we'd love to continue plugging your podcast,
we were wondering if you could approve our podcast to get us started.
I would love to approve your podcast.
Kev, well, thank you so much for listening to the pod
and being part of the Patreon and everything,
and I can't wait to chat when I come on your guys' podcast.
How fun.
Awesome.
I'm really excited.
I think we're going to have a really fun time.
Oh, yay.
Well, I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
Campbell and I, we're best friends.
But I'm glad that you guys have found each other, though,
so this is a glorious moment for everyone.
Hi, it's Campbell from Virginia, and I approve this podcast.
Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast.
I am the vice captain of the ship.
Tony Lodge is the captain.
I'm the butter to your bread.
Great for everyone to be here. I love that we captain of the ship. Tony Lodge is the captain. I am the butter to your bread. Great for everyone to be here.
I love that we're all here together.
Just to give an example of the people that listen to the podcast.
Yes.
This week the people are proving.
We've had honeymooners in Texas.
Yep.
We've had Canadians in New Zealand.
Yep.
We've had, oh, wasn't Campbell just the best?
Oh, yeah.
You guys are going to have a great show. Yeah, we are. In fact, this is probably one of the last Tony and Ryan podcasts because I
feel like you guys had a spark. I think so too. And I was left out. Yeah. And we also were in
Toronto as well this week. Yes. And the reason I bring this up is because Australia doesn't like
us. They are not the biggest fans, no. No. Unfortunately. No. We're not for Australia.
And you know what? That's okay.
We found our people and they're the people that have found us.
Isn't that beautiful?
That was poetic.
That was fucking beautiful.
I was actually going to say the people who like us the most are the people
that don't need to be anywhere near us.
And that's fine.
But I feel like yours was a bit more poetic and beautiful.
Yeah.
I mean, butter to my breath.
Now we say some things which here in Australia are very normal.
Yes.
But people often reply or put in the episode threads
in the Facebook group, I heard you guys talking about this.
Uh-huh.
What the fuck are you actually talking about?
And we've done this once before and it ended up actually being
quite contentious because people in the comments of the TikTok video
were like, oh, we say this in New Zealand.
And then someone said, well, we say it in California.
And then someone said, well, we say it here.
And I was like, well, that's fine.
People can say things in more than one place.
Hey, lots of people speak English in many countries.
Yeah, like all good.
Some similarities will probably occur considering it's the same language.
Same language, exactly.
So get off my case.
And sorry that we just wanted to brighten the world with smiles
and our bloody jokes.
I apologise.
Yeah, sorry for fucking trying to bring laughter to the world
and joy in 2022.
Okay, I feel like I wanted this to have a we're here to help vibe and tone.
All right, all right, all right.
I feel like that's changed.
All right.
And I don't disagree.
I can't wait to explain the Australian lingo and help people and explain. All right. And I don't disagree. But I feel like it has changed. I can't wait to explain the Australian lingo and help people and explain.
All right.
If someone lives in Whoop Whoop, where do they live?
Ages away.
But where?
Just they live in Whoop Whoop.
Ages away.
And it's probably some weird little like noodley town name.
It's Whoop Whoop.
Ages away.
Now, we've actually heard this week how much you've had a great time over the
festive season. Would you
now consider moving to Whoop Whoop?
Yeah, I would. Because you did come in this week
and say, I'm moving to Albury. I did. I said that
Torbs and I looked up house prices
in Albury. Are they a lot cheaper than Melbourne?
They are a lot cheaper than Melbourne, but we can't
afford to buy a house anywhere.
Not even in Whoop Whoop.
Can I just put out there, not that I don't love Albury,
I've been there a bunch of times.
No, you haven't.
I have.
They used to be the hub of SCA's regional thing.
Of course, of course, of course.
Radio chat, industry chat.
Yeah, yeah, talking shop.
And I used to drive through there on the way to Canberra
for the 85 times I drove there.
Of course.
I'm going to put it out there, not that Albury's not great,
I just think you enjoy being someplace different.
Yeah, definitely.
And someplace where we had a lot of room.
Yeah.
Like because we could sit in the backyard and we could, you know.
Have you considered sitting in your own courtyard that's fucking huge?
Well, so Robbie, Jane's dad, so the head of the McKinlay clan
where I was in Albury, he's a big lawn guy.
Oh.
And so his lawn was like high pile carpet.
Yeah.
It was beautiful.
You'd lay on that and just really settle in.
It was like an air mattress.
Would Torps be a lawn guy?
Nah.
He's not a plant guy in any way.
Here's something that they might do in Albury and in Woot Woot.
Okay.
Now this is a two-pronged question.
Two-pronged, nice.
Can't use a fork, but yep, happy to hear the two-pronged question.
What is goon?
And second of all, what is then goon of fortune?
So goon is like cheap cask wine.
So it's like in a silver bladder with like a little.
It's wine in a bag.
Yeah, it's wine in a bag.
A nozzle.
It's got a nozzle on the end and they give it to you
in like a cardboard box and you poke the nozzle out
and then you like squeeze it on to like.
Now, would this be the fancy end of wine or?
No.
No, this is definitely not the fancy end of wine.
This is the worst wine you can find put into a four litre bag.
Well, I feel like cask wine, like in the cardboard box,
that's a thing everywhere.
They probably just don't call it goon.
Right.
But goon of fortune is so in Australia there's this type of,
so because we all have such big backyards,
there's this thing called a hill's hoist and it's a washing line.
A clothesline.
It's a clothesline.
But they spin around and they're like a particular shape
and every backyard has one.
And what you do is you take your bladder, your silver bladder of goon.
Your goon bag.
Your goon bag and then you attach it to the clothesline
with a clothes peg and then you spin it around
and everybody will be standing around and you spin it
and someone will say, like, stop, and then whoever's closest has to try and, like,
drink the goon out of the sack while it's, like,
on the clothesline and while it's moving around.
All right.
The movement and action you did whilst describing drinking it
made it look like you were...
Blojan.
Beejan.
Cruisin' for a bruisin'.
Hurtin' for a squirtin'.
Did you ever play the PG version of Goon of Fortune as a kid
where, like, your mum would use kitchen twine
to tie a donut to the hill's hoist?
No.
And, like, you would have to stand there with your hands behind your back
and, like, try and eat a donut off the clothesline?
I don't think that's a thing.
Maybe that was, like, my mum just did that to me.
Like how you have to give dogs a kong.
My mum was like, God, got to get rid of her bloody energy somehow.
Spit her out on the wheel on the Hoyles Hoist.
Yeah, put the donut on the Hoyles Hoist and keep it busy for 40 minutes.
In Australia, if you're punching a dart, you are?
Having a cigarette.
If you are having a durry?
Having a cigarette.
I used the word durry one time when I was overseas
and people were just really confused.
Yeah, people don't understand durry or dart.
Yeah.
Having a dart because it's like putting a dart in your lung.
It's like pop another one in.
Yeah.
Now this is slightly different. I'm going to get you to use this putting a dart in your lung. It's like pop another one in. Yeah. Now this is slightly different.
I'm going to get you to use this in a sentence here.
Sorry.
Do people in other countries say ciggy?
Good question.
Like a cigarette.
Having a ciggy bro.
Because we say a lot.
We have a lot of slang for cigarettes.
Ciggy butt bro.
Is that an Australian thing?
Ciggy butt brain.
Yes, that is Australian.
Always pocket me lighter.
Yeah.
So ciggy, dart, durry. I was going to say punch in a cone, but that an Australian thing? Siggybuttbrain, yes, that is Australian. Always pocket me lighter. Yeah. So Siggy, dart, durry.
I was going to say punch in a cone, but that's a different kind of.
That's a different thing, yeah.
Yeah.
What else do you call it?
Going out for smoko.
Oh, smoko, yeah.
But smoko doesn't necessarily only mean cigarette.
True.
Smoko just means break.
Take a break.
Anyway.
All right.
We have a very rich tapestry of culture in Australia.
I'm going to get you to finish these sentences.
Mm-hmm.
Love finishing on you.
Sorry.
Right back at you, champion.
Oh.
The word fucked means many different things in Australia.
For example, if you got fucked up last night, you...
Drank a lot.
Drank heavily.
Got very drunk.
If you fucked something up, you...
Made a mistake.
You made a mess of it.
If you fucked someone, you...
Had sex with them.
And if you disagree with them, you'd tell them to...
Fuck off.
Or get fucked.
Fuck off.
Like I said, rich tapestry of culture.
Rich tapestry of culture.
That's the name of this episode.
Rich tapestry of culture.
And, of course, you listening already knew that
because you already clicked.
Except you're telling me so that I can write it down
so I don't forget.
Yeah.
Now, Tony, last week or or last year as it were.
Yes, last year? Nice, very good.
That's the last time we'll reference any
last year jokes, for God's sake.
I will not promise that.
You told us that you
paid not only $160
for a car park,
but then you had to pay a $40
parking fee because the car park
was within a shopping centre car park.
The car wash, not car park.
Yes, yeah.
So I got my car detailed for $165 and I thought it had really needed
to clean and I thought we'll do that before we go to Albury,
to Whoop Whoop, because then the car will be nice and clean.
If anyone needs to use my car, it'll be nice.
It'll feel good driving up in it.
And another thing about Australia that people might not know
is that country bakeries are the best damn fucking places
you can eat in the world.
Yep.
So when you...
What kind of stuff would they have at an Australian country bakery?
Vanilla slice.
Fuck, yeah.
Yeah.
Sausage roll.
Yep.
Pies of any kind, like, you know, steak and kidneys, steak and onion.
I tell you what I like.
Bacon, cheese and ham.
When they have the cheesy bacon stuff baked into the pie.
Into the pie.
And the potato as well.
What's that one called?
Shepherd's pie.
Fucked.
But you'll just literally be driving along in the outback of Australia
and anyone from Australia that's listening,
I understand that Melbourne to Albury is not the Outback,
but let me just paint the picture.
You'll be driving through the Outback on like a big highway
and literally they'll just be like, pies, one kilometre,
and you just get off the highway and there'll be some little fucking woman
that's selling all these pies who goes, oh, yeah,
my husband kills the cow that the mince comes from,
and then you just get back on the road and you start driving.
Yeah.
So I just paid paid 200 all up no you know was it your talks you're both of us so we were driving along i'm like oh we've got to get a pie while we're driving out of the city like
it's basically illegal not to it's a right of is. It is. And so I do the driving in our household.
So you're like driving. You've
got this pie in like a paper bag
and you're trying to like munch on it as you're going.
Anyway, and now my car
is covered in pastry
because both of us like eating a pie.
Did anyone drop spilling any meat?
No mince, thankfully.
No mince going anywhere. If I tried to eat
a pie whilst driving and you drive a manual.
Yeah, I do drive a manual.
May as well have just thrown the pie through the window into the car
and smeared it all over the place.
Get you a girl that can do both.
I can do both.
Multitasking.
Yeah.
So there's pastry flakes all in the car.
And so I sat in the car for the rest of the time.
So I was wearing a dress and I just sat with the pastry on me
because I was like, when we get there, I'll get out of the time, so I was wearing a dress, and I just sat with the pastry on me because I was like,
when we get there, I'll get out of the car carefully
and just like shake it off.
And then we get out of the car and I was like,
oh, make sure you get up carefully until it was like, oh, no,
I brushed mine onto the floor as soon as I ate it.
It just cost me $200 to get this fucking car detailed
and you're thinking that it's all good to put your pastry crumbs
all over my car.
I'm going to put it out there.
Yeah.
The moment you decided to not eat the pie at the bakery
and eat it in the car, that was your, like, it was all over.
It's my fault.
Ask him for it.
It was all over.
Hey, this is Kimball from Virginia,
and you're listening to Tony and Ryan.
Yeah.
Thank you very much to you for listening to the Tony and Ryan podcast.
I thought you meant me.
Thank you.
No.
I mean, thank you for coming down today.
Appreciate it. All right.
I picked you up as well, actually.
If I wasn't here, you wouldn't be here.
Ah, so I sat in the crumbs from the pie on the way to the studio.
When we go out, I'll show you they'll be on the fucking.
Is there crumbs on my butt?
No, you're good.

That was fucking great.
That was very great.
Thank you.
That was a good wrap-up.
Thank you.
Good wrap-up.
Yeah.
Sometimes I'm just really proud of what I can achieve.
Do you ever just like.
Of all the things you've actually achieved.
Yeah.
That, I mean, not that it wasn't great, but you've achieved, you've actually achieved, that, I mean,
not that it wasn't great, but you've done some great stuff.
Like what?
Eating a meat pie on a country road whilst driving a manual.
Driving a manual, yeah.
I can do that.
Created a podcast that inspires people around the world.
I mean, I've seen you do things after dark that are just...
Don't.
Mesmerising.
And you're saying plugging the Patreons up there
with one of the things you're most proud of.
Yeah, I just love doing this with you, mate.
I'm just really happy to be here.
I'm happy to be here too.
Love you.
Are we better in holiday mode?
Yeah.
I mean, for each other?
Yeah.
Everyone else is like, no, I love it when you're sad.
Yeah, I love it when you guys are sad.
You're more angsty.
There's more going on.
We actually cried, both of us, in a Patreon exclusive episode
towards the end of last year, which wasn't great.
We needed a break.
That was a rough episode.
We've had that break now.
I'm pretty sure that all the comments were like,
hey, guys, hope everything's all right.
Hi, are you guys okay?
And we weren't.
We weren't okay.
It's been a long year.
Yeah, it was.
We just needed a break. I love that it had been a long year. Yeah, it was. We just needed a break.
I love that it had been a long year,
but we'd only been doing this for like two months.
Since August.
It's been a long year for the three months we've been working.
That we've been doing this, yeah.
Anyway.
I feel like we need to go into something happy,
and whilst this isn't overly sad, it's also not the brightest of stories.
All right, well, I could tell a story.
I don't have one.
It's called Who's the Bully?
Oh.
It's you.
How dare you?
It's you.
I'm not a bully.
Okay.
I'm a lot of things.
Were you, like, this is probably, you're going to lie even if the answer's yes,
but were you ever a bully at school?
Were you ever, oh, you were.
No.
Were you mean at school? No, I don't think so. I got bullied, so, you were. No. Were you mean at school?
No, I don't think so.
I got bullied, so you can't be both.
You can't be both.
Well.
Some people probably are.
Some people pass it on.
They got bullied and then they feel like they need to give it back.
Oh, okay.
Isn't that amazing?
You know, when you're a first year, you get treated like shit,
so when you're a senior, you teach the younger people a lesson.
Nah.
So my high school was a real, like, hippie school. Because in Eltham, right, you didn't even have to wear a uniform. Nah. So my high school was a real like hippie school.
Because in Eltham, right, you just didn't even have to wear a uniform.
No uniform.
There was no like hierarchy of cool nerds.
Like when I watch teen movies, I always go, oh, it's not really like that.
And Bridget goes, it actually kind of is.
Yeah, it is.
We had different groups, but none were like better than the others.
They weren't like the cool kids.
So when I see that, I get really weirded out about it.
And if you're a bully at my school, I just don't think people
wouldn't have gone, oh, that guy's tough.
They would have been like, what are you doing, mate?
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
Quite grown up, I guess.
Yeah, that makes us too, it's like we're complimenting.
I wouldn't say grown up but just no one cared enough to.
Yeah, it was just kind of like
Who are you trying to impress
Like what are you trying to
Yeah
I feel like everyone was
Even though you had your
Closer group of friends
You're still like friendly
To the other people
You'd still say hi
When you walked past or whatever
And know everyone's name
There would be parts of the school
I would avoid
Because I would know
That if I saw them
Yeah like there was one
Bathroom
What are their names
I'll go around there
Nah
There was like one
So our school was like one.
So our school was like in a circle and every single building was like a different block and like you didn't go to B block.
Really?
Why are there bitches over there?
Yeah.
And like if you went up to the sports centre for school,
like you knew that all the sporty kids would be up there
and they'd always be fucking assholes.
Would they? Yeah. Oh, all the sporty kids would be up there and they'd always be fucking assholes. Would they?
Yeah.
Oh, all the sporty people were.
See, I was a sporty type.
But because I went to a hippie school, the sporty people were like,
oh, losers playing sport.
Oh, yeah.
Like we weren't cool.
No, the opposite for us.
So I was real arty.
Like I did a billion different types of music and stuff.
If you had gone to my school, you would have had a great time.
Oh, no, I had a shit time.
And because if I ever needed to do music stuff, people would be like,
music's, like, not going to get you anywhere.
But, like, the sport kids were cool because they were sporty and thin
and hot and whatever.
All the most successful people from our school are now, like, well,
all, like, artists or actors or literary people.
Obviously I'm not one of the literary people.
All right, anyway.
Okay.
This is who's the bully because I don't know who's bullying
who in this situation.
Okay.
And so I'm curious to know whose side you're on.
I love it when you ask me for my opinion.
It makes me just feel like you really value me.
Oh, great.
Do you want me to turn you around?
Whatever you prefer. I mean, you still value that, don't you? I to turn you around? Whatever you prefer.
I mean, you still value that, don't you?
I mean, I'll listen to your answer.
A father in Florida has been branded a bully himself
after he forced his son to stand on the side of the road
holding a sign that said, I am a bully.
Have you seen this story?
I have, actually.
I've seen the photo. I don't know? I have actually. I've seen the photo.
I don't know the full story but I've seen the photo.
So the father finds out that his son has been bullying
other people at school.
Do we know to what extent?
Enough for someone to contact the parents and say,
hey, your son's out of line.
Giving my kid a hard time kind of.
Yeah, or the kids or whoever.
And I feel like by the time it reaches the parents,'s not like oh a passing comment like it must be an ongoing
thing and wouldn't you just be mortified i'd be sick to my stomach if i found out my child was
bullying someone else i reckon that would be strangely harder yeah i mean i don't have kids
who might speak on this but like that would just tear my heart out. I would be so, I'd be fuming.
I'd be sad.
I'd be devastated.
So I feel like the dad is, he wants to do something
because he's like, I don't want you to be a bully.
Bullies are horrible.
You'll regret this.
The kids are going to be traumatized for a long time.
You don't forget about bullies in high school.
So he's like, well, I'm going to teach my kid a lesson.
And now people have kind of gone, oh, by you forcing your kid to stand
on the side of the road with a sign saying, honk if you hate bullies.
I'm a bully.
I'm a bully.
They're like, well, the father's kind of bullying the kid.
But is that bullying or is that teaching that kid a lesson?
Well, it's definitely teaching him a lesson.
Because it's hard, right?
Because, like, obviously as a parent, you want to do the
best by your kids. You want to raise them
to be successful, kind
hearted, and that contribute to
society or whatever.
So maybe, is it an overreaction?
Sure, but maybe this is also
not the first time. Maybe
you know, he's sat down with his son
many times and said, hey, you can't
act this way. And he's gone, fucking whatever, he's sat down with his son many times and said, hey, you can't act this way.
And he's gone, fucking whatever, Dad, I hate you.
Yeah.
And then he's continued to do it.
Maybe this was the last straw.
So when you first saw, I didn't realise you'd seen this story,
when you'd first seen it, what was your first gut instinct reaction?
I thought, oh, that could be pretty traumatising for that kid,
but I also don't know what he's done.
And it's hard because it's that two wrongs don't make a right.
Yeah.
But also if you aren't made to pay the consequence of your actions,
then do you ever really learn?
And I think there were definitely times as a kid I was never a bully
or anything and I was very well behaved.
I was never very naughty.
I don't know. I'm just trying to think of like what my parents would have done. I think I agree with what I think
you're saying. So when I played sport, right, if you stuffed up or you were late or whatever,
you talked back to the coach, it was like, mate, five laps, a hundred pushups. You would never do
it again. You'd learn pretty quick because there were consequences.
And I don't want to be this old grandpa podcaster like,
oh, the kids these days, we used to smack them in the chops
and teach them a lesson, blah, blah, blah.
But I actually, when I saw this, I was like, fucking good.
Cop it.
And then you know what?
Next time he rocks up and thinks about talking some shit,
he'd be like, well, I remember how bad it was because it is bad.
I remember how embarrassing it was for me to stand on that road.
I was so embarrassed.
I was so ashamed that I'm never going to bully anyone again
because I don't want to have to do that again because my dad
ain't going to cop no shit.
Yeah.
And I think seeing a picture online, we don't know any of the story.
Like we don't have any insight to what's happened,
whether this is the first offence, the 50th offence.
Yeah.
You know, we actually just don't know.
I don't think it's that bad but I can understand why people as adults.
Kids are going soft these days.
Parents discipline children.
But also I can understand that adults now thinking back
to what their parents did and gone, oh, they did something similar to me
and it really traumatised me.
So I see both sides, but I think it's fine.
And if there wasn't a picture online about it, no one would care
and no one would be any wiser.
I think I'd rather that than him like giving him a swift backhand.
Yeah, 100%.
Like that's not all right.
Absolutely.
I don't know.
I think that the dad has probably done,
the parents have obviously talked about it and gone,
what are we going to do to stop Brayden from being a little bully?
Being a little bully.
And, you know, how can we fix this?
Because they're probably just super embarrassed.
Is it in The Simpsons where the guy makes Nelson pull his pants down? Yeah. And he goes, hey everyone, it's the bully
that always laughs at everyone. Yeah, it's the boy that laughs. Are you laughing
about me and my motor vehicle? And the size of my legs? Now we'll
point and laugh at you. Yeah, it is.
Okay, bullying's fun. So the lesson is
watch The Simpsons.
Watch The Simpsons.
Find out what they did.
What do you love to see this week, Toni?
I have loved to see, in particular,
I'm going to reference a message that I got from Gabby on Instagram,
but I have seen it across our Facebook group that many,
many people over Christmas received
or bought themselves a Frank Green water bottle.
Oh, yes.
And I love to see that because I love my Frank Green water bottle.
You are a great influencer.
Not a paid influencer, as it were.
I don't get anything from this.
I just love it.
Have we contacted them?
No.
Should we be proactive?
Maybe.
Maybe if anybody listening has bought a Frank Green water bottle
as a result of me talking about it,
please message FrankGreenAU on Instagram,
like the Australian one.
I assume they've got...
Hey, at FrankGreenAU, I was influenced by at Tony Lodge.
Just letting you know that I bought a bottle because of Tony Lodge.
And maybe if there's enough of you,
they'll have a look at my profile and go,
hey, yeah, let's give her some free water bottles.
And we could send them out.
Wouldn't it be cool if we could get like a Tony and Ryan Frank frame?
That would be nice.
That would be really cool.
Hey, maybe a little keep cup or something?
I'll see what we can do.
See what we can do.
Someone suggested Tony and Ryan merch, a towel, a tarp towel.
Oh, no.
I don't think I approved that one into the group.
Or maybe it did get through.
I think I've seen that somewhere.
Imagine that. You'll love to see it. did get through. I think I've seen that somewhere. Imagine that.
You love to see it.
Oh, yeah, what do you love to see?
Rachel Asker is her name and Rachel Asker, how she's doing.
Good thanks because check this out.
Rachel, tell her.
Rachel Asker is doing great because after a 12-month drought,
she's back.
Like the weather in her hometown or something?
It'd been 12 months since she had a friend over.
Lockdown.
No.
Couldn't see anyone.
It had been... Shall I play some music to explain?
Or you'd like me to explain?
It had been 12 months since a.
Trying the outback, it's the weather, the weather.
Person came over to her house to stay in her room.
Oh, she's running an Airbnb.
Travel's been hard the last two years.
Someone put it in Rachel.
Sex.
For the first time in 12 months.
She's back.
Congratulations, Rachel.
And apparently she snuck it in before the end of the new year.
Oh.
Because you can't go a whole 12-month calendar year.
But then did she still wake up on January 1st and go,
again, haven't had sex since last year?
We said those jokes were over.
We said those jokes were over.
Good on you, Rachel.
Rachel Asker.
Rachel did it.
Finally got laid and it was worth breaking the drought for.
Oh.
Says Rach.
You like to say that.
Do they call it a drought because it's dry before then?
And then it's wet?
Is that why they say that?
I think it's just because it's been a while.
Oh, okay.
I see, I see, I see.
All good.
Since it rained.
Ah.
Sorry.
If anyone missed that sound, it was...
Ah!
Oh, that's loud.
That's too loud, the music.
That's too loud for a moment.
Oh, sorry, mate.
