How much the beat? It was close. Katherine Rollin, not Kelly, obviously. Do you reckon she gets that a lot? Yeah. So we'll say K Rollin. Hello, this is Katherine. Katherine! Hello, Katherine. This is Tony and Ryan. How are you? Oh, I'm good. How are you guys? We're well. Is it really disappointing, Katherine, that you did all that study, undergrad, graduate, became a doctorate in pharmacy, but you technically are a Pharm D and don't have a PhD? It is disappointing every single day that I don't have a pre-university.

Oh, sorry, we were supposed to call. We've got Ryan on the phone. Catherine, will you approve today's episode? Yes, I will absolutely approve your podcast. Amazing. Hey, this is Catherine from Eugene, Oregon, and I approve this podcast. Normal or Nah? Today's normal or nah day. Also, would you say a scandal or a something that is going to divide the nation? You can divide me. Sorry. Wow. Also, would you say a scandal or something that is going to divide the nation? You can divide me. Sorry.

Wow. Welcome to a Thursday everyone. It will divide something. Divide my cleaviers. That's a Catherine Kim quote. I don't know what that means. Yeah, and cleaviers sounds... Is it a plant?

Is it... I can Google it. Hang on. Cleavier. It's a plant! Very good. Cleav. Clivia. It's a plant. Very good. Clivia. Wow.

Wow. Okay. Touch me on the Clivia. Is that what you said? Oh, Ryan's never found it. Yeah. I've never seen that before in my life. Where's that usually hang out? Let's do normal on Maddie.

Sorry. You don't really like real plants. I do you more of a fake plant guy. Are we doing this? Are we doing this? Are we doing this? Am I going to regret it? Or are you going to regret it?

Someone in the Tony and Ryan, Sophie, you. Right. Cool. Sophie Woods. Okay. Recently- Sophie only works near 10% of the time, so her opinion only means 10%. When Sophie went from full-time to freelance, one of the first jobs she declined was the

plant waterer. She did say, Tony, you might have to take care of that. I went, ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. So because I am a nice guy, who cares about Tony's time,

who cares about Sophie's time, and cares about the vibrancy of the office, I thought maybe we'll get a few fake plants because they don't need watering, they won't die. In here, there's heaps of lights and equipment and it's maybe not the best. They get a few fake plants because they don't need watering. They won't die in here. There's heaps of lights and equipment and it's maybe not the best. They get a bit hot. It's not the best environment for a real plant. So I got some fake plants and it turns out some fake plants look faker than others.

And it just happens to be that the ones I chose are probably more at the fake end of the spectrum. However, you know what they don't need? Water. Thank you. Yeah. So what are you doing with the fake end of the spectrum. However, you know what they don't need? Water. Thank you. Yeah. So what are you doing with the fake plants this week? Fucking nothing, because they take care of themselves.

So if all you're saying is Ryan, thanks for saving my time and thanks for bringing a green natural plastic feel to the room, then you're all fucking welcome. Is there anything anyone would like to say? He's lashing out. He's lashing out. I did send a text the other night saying, just before everyone gets in tomorrow, I just want you to know that like it's about the not watering and not the look.

So fucking all good. Don't worry about it. And then I also said, we don't need to discuss this any further. Yeah. You said that. Didn't you agree or nod or? I think I said, you said don't talk about this for two days. And I said, I'll wait till Wednesday.

And it's now Thursday. So I've actually given you a full extra day. No, you're thinking of insurance. No, you're thinking of a car accident. You're thinking of Beaches the Movie. I got a message on Patreon the other day. And it was like, Tony, I was really mad with you when you were talking about the ACCC in New Zealand.

It's actually a wonderful thing that they do. And I was like, at no point did I question. No, you did. She's anti it. At no point did I question the efficacy and efficiency of the ACCC in New Zealand. I just like to go on the record. And I would never, I've always been a champion of the ACCC in New Zealand. Well, first of all, it's the ACCC. That's how good I think they are. They deserve an extra C. There's an extra C in the room today.

And it's your attitude. I've just started watching Day Zero on Netflix, which is Robert De Niro, Jesse Plymouths. Sounds like a boy show. Angela Bennett, who's the girl who was in Mean Girls? Amanda Safred? No. Gretchen Wieners. Lindsay Lohan. No.

Okay. That's a little- Rachel McAdams? No, the one who is the real friend. Oh, Janice Ian, Lizzie Kaplan. She's in- Fuck, she's good. She's in a few episodes in Me, Ah, Newplan. She's in it. She's good. She's in a few episodes and meet our new girl.

She is great. Anyway, so she's also in that movie. My best friend's girl with Dane Cook and fucking Goldie Horn's daughter. Okay. Have you seen that movie? I think that Dane Cook's on theuts, but that movie is so funny. I was going to say Dang Cooks not, yeah, wow. I think he's on the out, but this movie is from like 10 years ago.

I don't know why I brought up that TV show. Oh, that's right. Oh, this is such. Tony's on the overview committee of the A.C.C. in New Zealand. And if you watch the show, you'll understand. And it wasn't worth it because you know, one's saying it doesn't know what I'm referring to. Sorry. Robert De Niro though.

You're talking about me. You know, he says that. I think that's someone else. Oh, you're talking about me. Wait, is that that? Oh no, I think that is from taxi driver. Are you talking about me? Oh no, that's, that's more of that doesn't.

Can you, let's get it. Google it. Are you talking about me? Oh, no, that's, that's more of that. Doesn't let's get it. Google it. Are you talking about me? Can you Google a talking about me movie quote? Charles, she's doing finger guns. Are you talking about me? Yeah, I think you're. Robert De Niro, a taxi driver. But Tony's doing it as if she's the Fonz or like there's a bit of John Travolta in there.

You're talking about me? No, that was a bit Arnold Schwarzenegger. The quote is, you talking to me. What? Why did you have it there? You talking to me? You talking to me? Like who the hell else are you talking to? You talking to me? Who the hell else are you talking to? You're talking to me? That's a bit catchier than what I said.

Can you Google Dave Franco, you're talking to me? This is Dave Franco doing an impression of Tony Lodge doing an impression of Robert De Niro. What are you wearing? What are you doing? We're throwing a Robert De Niro party. Oh. Should be pretty fucking loud.

It's probably going to go pretty fucking late, too. I'm a taxi driver at De Niro. Yeah, I meet the fuckers, De Niro. I'm watching you. I'm watching you. Who painted that mole on your face? Did you do that yourself? Yes, I did.

Yes, I did, fucker. Who are you? Oh, I'm Sam Jackson you know from Jackie Brown yeah now ignore me I'm watching you is that from the movie bad neighbors yeah movie, bad neighbors. Yeah. Let's do normal. Roseburn and Seth Rogen good together. Yeah.

Incredible. What a fucking match. Yeah. I love Seth Rogen. I love Roseburn. Me too. Yeah. And I also love Seth.

Yeah. Let's start a podcast where we just talk about those two. Or is this it and we're doing it? It's now. Yeah. Okay. Anything else, Dad? Just like them.

Yeah. They're nice. Cause they did that Apple TV show together as well. What was that? Oh no. So you're thinking of the domain ads that she's in at the moment. Oh, they are so funny. Yeah. I piss every time I see those ads. Why is that guy in them? I don't know. Yeah. He's just like a Hollywood actor. Like, do you want to do some ads for a real estate

app in Melbourne? And he goes, sure. But also he's like, hell American. So it doesn't really fit with the ad. No, not at all. Cause Roseburn sounds really Australian in them. And then he's like, do you know anything about this suburb? That's actually pretty good. Let's do more impressions. Yeah, it's acting.

It's acting. Do you know much about acting, you guys? I just want to bring everyone in that before we started recording today, Tony was explaining to a lot of people what acting is. And I've done it many times and I just don't think that people are really getting it. No, I think we've got it. Because it's just a trade secret. Normal or nah?

Acting. Normal for me. Maddie has a normal or nah? Hi, Maddie. After every single time I use the toilet, my boyfriend goes in and bleaches and scrubs the whole toilet down. We spend so much money each week buying cleaning products,

but what's more concerning is it makes me feel like I must be the grottiest, most disgusting bitch ever. Is it just me or has he done this with all partners? That's what Maddie's thinking, you know? Like, are they a clean freak or am I a dirty bitch? Yes. Bleaching the toilet after every dump, Maddie asked normal or not? Not a full bleach, I don't think. A scrub, like I am, I will always do a poo, I'll flush it, I'll check it.

And then if it needs it, I'll do a little scrub, just because it's polite for the next person. But I wouldn't, I don't bleach it every time. But imagine if when you went into the bathroom, I was like at the door with the bucket ready. And I'm N95. And as soon as you walk out, I'm like. Yeah, no, that would make me feel really insecure. Like you're a gross, even if it's his problem. It's like, am I, am I that bad? Do you know what I think is the amazing movement of forward of technology of like toilet cleaning products? Those duct discs that you like onto the inside of the toilet bowl.

I don't, I've never had one of those. Oh, it's good. I think it's like a popular girl thing. I bought them because it made me feel popular. That's fine, because in Mean Girls, they don't reference that. They don't talk about it. Yeah. But I mean. Like when they go to, um, who's Amy Poehler's house. Nope.

Oh yes. Yes they do. Sorry. Excuse me. Excuse me. When they go to Amy Poehler's house, she, if it's, if it is in fact a popular girl thing, would probably have one.

That would be there. They don't show the inside of the toilet in that movie, which you just don't see a lot. You probably should see it more in movies. I think so, cause I see it in my real life all the time. When Rose Byrne and Seth Godin, no Seth Rogan are together. What's their bathroom situation? You just don't ever see a toilet bowl in a telly show.

Do you? Oh, I think what you're looking for is a television show. Yeah. Telly. Who's watching flick on the telly. My mom used to say telly. You don't hear people say that anymore, do you? Is it because she died?

I mean, I don't hear her say it anymore. No, or much. Yeah. Or much. I just, when you said, I don't hear her say that anymore. I was like, there's a probably a reason. And you know what? Thanks for correcting me.

Yeah, because I like to remain honest. It's important that we that we speak facts. And uphold her legacy to the truest form. Absolutely. Jay has a normal on her. I think it's just movie stuff today. Yeah. Does anyone hold their breath during underwater scenes in a movie?

I want to know if, A, I would would survive or be this scene is believable. I need to know where I stand. I don't, but that's a good idea. Fact checking. Holding your breath. Or are they just acting like they're holding their breath? I think some people would do this without even knowing. So when they go underwater, you kind of be on the couch and go,

yeah, and then they come up for on the couch and go, yeah. And then they come up for air and then you go, do you know what I do do though? And this could go anywhere, but I promise it's on task. Whenever I'm driving across a bridge with like water underneath, I hold my breath to see if I'll make it. When you're going over the bridge. Yeah. We will make it.

No, but like, I'm like, can I hold my breath the whole way? So as I get to the water, I go like, and then I keep driving and then I'm like, oh, I made it. You don't drive on the West Gate that often, eh? No, I don't. Because you would not be dead. Yeah, no, that's fair. Cause of death, tried to hold breath and did too well. Yeah.

Just kept holding it. Just kept holding it. Yeah, no, I don't go over the West Gate. Now this might, I don't know if I'm just getting, Tony doesn't go to the Western suburbs, mate. She's doing all right. What if you were going to your Great Ocean Road chalet? Oh, you'd go on the ring road the other way.

Yeah, I'd go on the ring road. Yeah. You'd take the PJ. Yeah, the helicopter. Fly to Torquay. Yeah, Um, all right. You take the PJ. Yeah, the helicopter. Fly to talky. Yeah. I've held my breath flying over the Westgate bridge on my helicopter. Um, do you ever, do you ever do that?

Like anything like that? When I was little, like we were in primary school from Altham East primary school, we used to go to the Diamond Creek swimming pool for swimming lessons on a Tuesday morning as part of school, because in Australia we all learn how to swim. Apparently that's another thing in other countries. Yes. Anyway, we would drive past the Diamond Creek Cemetery. And it was a thing in primary school that as soon as you drive,

everyone would hold their breath. I think is that like an evil spirit? I actually, I don't know what the like science is behind it. But I assume, I assume it's so you don't suck in a ghost. Do you know that like I definitely did have a crush on Caspar? I 100% had a crush on Caspar. I think we've known this before. Is he voiced by Jonathan Taylor Thomas or am I thinking of Simba?

You're thinking of what Simba? The Lion King. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think that's right. Yeah. So that's Matthew Broderick, isn't it? When he grows up. Oh, I'm so sorry.

But is Matthew Broderick also Caspar? No, he grows up. Oh, I'm so sorry. Is Matthew Broderick also Casper? No, no. Do we know who Casper is? Wrong era. What? Somebody Pearson? Oh, Piers Brosnan. Oh, God, he's good in Batman, isn't he?

No. James Bond. Fuck! Malachai? Malachai. Malachai. M-A-L-A-C-H-I. Oh, you've lost me. Four of the three letters.

Good luck. Yeah, fuck. And a couple of those weren't syllables. Mal Pearson. Oh, that guy. Is he the little boy who he ends up being when he kisses Christina Ricci under the big clock? It would make sense,

because they have the same voice, right? But are we talking about the same movie, the one with Christina Ricci in it? Or are you talking about the same movie, the one with Christina Rickey in it? Or are you talking about Casper meets Wendy with Hilary Duff in it? Because that's a whole different thing. I'm talking about Casper the Ghost. Yeah, but are you talking about the film? It's called Casper meets Wendy.

She wears a red cloak. She's a witch and she meets Casper. And I watched it after I had tonsillitis and I got to eat jelly and watch that movie. And I just will never forget. Hang on. Hang on. Can I just have a moment here? No one's jelly and watch that movie. And I just will never forget. Hang on. Hang on. Can I just have a moment here? No one's thinking about the right movie, I don't think.

Okay. Let's just take, I know this isn't the right movie, but I know that you've always loved Casper and had a crush on Casper. My biggest crush growing up was Hilary Duff. Whose was? I thought that obviously we would just probably meet and get married one day. Yeah. Well that did happen to her actual husband. Yeah, but that's not me. But he had like a crazy crush on her and he had like a Hilary Duff themed 21st birthday and stuff. Have you seen

an architectural digest and like the kids, she just seems so nice. She's amazing. Have you ever watched the TV show Younger that she's in? No, but I remember you liked it. Yeah. That's really good. It was apparently. Anyway, but it turns out our crushes get together in that movie. Do you think that there is another timeline where Hilary Duff and Caspar have crushes on her? So I can't even get through it. I think so.

And they're like, wow, they ended up together? Can someone ask Hilary Duff? I know she's married and happily married and so am I. But like, just can she just message and say like same. Can I just say one thing? I'd like to add an amendment that the Casper I was talking about is the film from 1995 that has Christina Ricci in it. And the guy who plays Casper in that is Devin Sauer. Fuck you guys listed 73 names and none of them were Devin. Yeah. But that's okay. Cause I just had a very and none of them were Devin. Yeah.

But that's okay. Cause I just had a very specific iteration of Casper in my mind. Yeah. No, I think that's the right one though. Yeah. Thank you. Why wasn't Casper the same throughout all the movie? Um.

He's a ghost, Charles. He dies. Um. Next. Now, obviously we are really good at making podcasts. So true. So there was a part in my mind that had an idea and I just want to share the idea.

And then because we're really good at making podcasts, we can all agree that we shouldn't do it. Okay. There was a moment where I thought, let's Google which scene has a human go underwater for the longest and then can Tony hold her breath for the same amount of time. I love it. But what I don't love is...

Because I've got my bronze. I... Yeah, I know. So this is all adding up. But it's not that I don't doubt you can do it. I just thought how entertaining is it is we just sit here in silence for three minutes while you fucking hold your breath. Because again, we're really good at podcasts and maybe that's not a really good podcast.

You know what I'm saying? Maybe it's a video. fucking hold your breath because again, we're really good at podcasts and maybe that's not a really good podcast. You know what I'm saying? Maybe it's a video. A TikTok. Hi, welcome to my TikTok today. I will be holding my breath for the same amount of time as blah from blah movie. Well, the longest is seven and 14 seconds. Piss it in ****. I would definitely hold my breath for seven minutes.

What movie did they go on to water for seven minutes? It is from Avatar. Oh yeah. What movie did they go on to water for seven minutes? It is from Avatar. Oh yeah, I thought it was Way of Water. With the two blue fellas. That one? You're thinking the blue man group. Are you talking about the one with the blue people or are you talking about the one with the-

Tony, Tony, you can't just like racially profile the group. Are you talking about the one where they are blue or are you talking about like the anime? I'm talking about the one that came out like two years ago. Cause the second, the sequel is underwater. That came out two years ago. I watched that with my mom. Avatar. There's a sequel.

Oh God. What did they fucking make it even shitter than the first one? It was the highest grossing film of all time. That film is shocking. I actually, that film is terrible. Avatar is terrible. And I think that people just say that they like it to seem interesting. I don't think they say that.

This is a film review. And I'm going to start holding my breath now. Hey, this is Catherine from Eugene, Oregon, and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. Hey, this is Catherine from Eugene, Oregon plan. You know, for texting and stuff. And if you're not getting rewards like extra data and dollars off with your mobile plan, you're not with Fizz. Switch today. Conditions apply. Details at Fizz.ca. Sorry, Tony's just had a moment where she's realized that Casper can brings people dead and moms back to life. And now Tony's crying.

Maybe that's why I like him, you know. Anyway. Do we need a moment? No. Good, because we're actually already on. We're already on. That's why I like him, you know. Anyway. Do we need a moment? No. Good quiz. We're actually already on.

We're already on. Sorry. I've been holding my breath that whole time. Lucy, good on you Lucy. Thanks Lucy. Jacqueline Lanigan. Good on you. Jacko.

Tori. Love you Tori. Shay K. Shaycation. Savia Ralston and Travis Krogel. Good on you, Trav. Good on you Trav. Tomorrow, one of the Scoop John's biggest exclusives. We'll see.

It's huge. It's going to be awesome. You've told me other things have been huge before and I've been let down. So forgive me. That is fake news. I would never promise. I would promise. You certainly under delivered. I would recommend not bothering putting socks on tomorrow.

No socks. Yes. Are we doing the same thing? Are we talking about the same thing? Are we going bowling? We should go bowling. Do you know what the keys, you don't even have to wear bowling shoes. You're allowed to just wear your own sneakers. And they sell steaks.

They do. You can order steak. Do you know what they actually do have at the Keys? Actually, everyone fucking get ready. Take your socks off now. This is the biggest scoop you'll ever hear. Will it blow my socks off? At the Keys in Preston, gluten free Parma.

That's chicken, there's no gluten in it anyway. Surely. Is there gluten on the fucking outside stuff? Cause it's bread you fucking idiot. Bread and flour. You've got to make a call. Well there's no one I need to call except myself, but that just explains so much. Well yeah, because it's breadcrumbs, isn't it?

Like I won't have the fucking garlic bread, I'll just have a fucking parma. You are just like the dumbest smart person I know. But anyway. Hang on, what did you say? So at the keys. No, what did you say? Cause my lecturer said something the other day that was the opposite of that. What did you say? At the keys, they've got a gluten free parma.

No, the next bit. The smart dumb thing. Oh, that you're the dumbest smart person I know. My lecturer said I'm the smartest dumb person he knows. Oh, they're not the same. Aren't they? Which do I want? No, no, no. Do you want the one that I said?

Okay. Yeah. I'm just the dumb, dumb person. I'm not, neither of them are as smart. You're the dumbest dumb. You have to beat that because you can say shit. Can't, you can't take dumb. But your socks are going to get blown off tomorrow with a huge exclusive.

So don't even bother putting your socks on. Don't even bother. Um, I know that we just done a lot of movie chat. I've got some TV chat. Um, white Lotus is back season three, uh, season one. Absolutely loved it. Here's quick review, TV review with Tony season one, amazing season two, shocking season three upside down question mark.

Not sure yet. Only seen one episode. Was season two shocking or just didn't live up to season one? I thought season two was just terrible. I thought that the actual show was shit. The first one I thought was like super well written and quite quirky and like new. Yep. Then the second one I was like, you've rushed this to get it out and it's not

nowhere near as good. And Mike White, who like created it and directs it and stuff. I'm like, you can do better, Mike. Did you text him and tell him that? I did. I messaged him on LinkedIn and I thought, you know, Did you say you can do better? And the first step would be casting me instead of Florence Pugh? Yeah.

So I have thought about that. I did say, you know, I'm available, send him a headshot and he said, stop sending me dick pics. So that was really weird. That is weird. But no, so the first- It's on Binge in Australia, by the way. My wife and I spent a lot, Bridget and I spent a lot of time searching Netflix for it.

I'm getting fucked off because couldn't fucking find it. So Ryan told me this and he's like, oh, it's not out yet. And I was like, yeah, it is. I watched the first episode. He goes, no, it's not out yet. And I was like, yeah, it is. I watched the first episode. He goes, no, it's not out yet. And I was like, it is. I watched it last night and he goes, Amazon. We searched Netflix.

I was like, it's on binge. And he goes, Oh, we searched Netflix for ages. My first big question is how do you search something for ages? Didn't you just put in the search bar? Didn't come up and then you just move on with your life and put fucking Bruce almighty on looking around. Maybe I spelt it wrong. I don't know.'t come up. Yeah. And then you just move on with your life and put fucking Bruce Almighty on again. Keep looking around. Maybe I spelt it wrong.

I don't know. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah. Lotus white. Season three. Yeah. Mike white, dick pic.

Sorry, Mike white. We shouldn't be talking about that. Anyway, so the third season has just dropped. Let's just start it. And this is the thing that's going to divide a nation. Well, but first of all, I just need to talk about how disappointed I am that the intro is so different. Oh, does it have the same song?

No, and it doesn't have the... Yeah. Doesn't have that anymore. It's so upsetting. I love how it sounds like an opera singer underwater. Yeah. Yeah. How long could they go on before?

I could show them a thing or two. Maybe they went too long. And that they weren't available anymore. So that's not the intro. That is better than the entirety of season two. Wasn't actually drowning, just pretended. Acting, acting huge. That's amazing.

Yep. I should have played the guy from The Godfather in season two. I thought you did. After a performance like that, I thought that was you. I watched the whole season thinking that was right. That was right. Yeah. I didn't remember we do a podcast every day, but I just ducked off for six months to film the fucking thing in Sicily. Yeah.

I thought that was you. Um, anyway, but the big thing that I feel like I've seen a bit of discourse around online and also in my own very own home is that they've dropped one episode. They haven't done the like full drop of the full season. Sorry. Your excuse. I don't want to correct a woman. I don't think we can use the term drop unless it's more than.

Oh my God. No, I think that's actually fair. Yeah. They've released one episode. I feel like a drop. That is like at least three. Surely. Yeah. So some shows over the last little while have been doing like dropping three. Yep. And then you get one week to week.

Yep. I think Squid's Games, they did something similar where you got all of them except the last two or something. I felt like I was halfway and then it was like most, and then it was like the final lap was like a big build up and it was enough to get you going though. See, this is what I reckon is that it's enough to get like, get excited. Yeah. But then I've been thinking about it, right. And I don't think many people like the single episode week to week, but I think it really reminds me of that, like golden time of TV where every week you get

excited about that one episode or you go into work and you go, Oh my God, did you watch the newest episode of whatever? Yep. I mean, look at us. We're talking about white lotus now. Well, one of the, when I was in, I don't know, I don't think I've mentioned before that I went to the U S and, and did a year of college. Yeah.

Just after high school. Yeah. Really? At Lyndonwood university in Missouri. Oh my God. Congratulations. Is that near Mizzou? Uh, yeah, about an hour and a bit away.

So I'm big party school. Spent a lot of weekends there. Big party school. Yep. Oh my God. That is actually, I'm so, I'm so, oh my God. She's coming over to hug me. That is so amazing.

Thank you. Thanks. I'm so proud of you. Thank you very much. Thank you. What did you do while you were there? Um. We just went to college, right?

Is that like university? It is like a university. They call it college over there. It's like cultural difference. Oh, I actually- Is that where you did your accounting? I started my accounting degree.

Yeah. Economics. It was great. Times had by all. Anyway. What else did you do while you were there? Um, I can't remember how I flew over. That's for sure.

Well, I've been on the way. Oh, is that when you think of Lauren on that plane? So one of the great bonding moments when I was at college was every Tuesday. Wait, college in the USA. That's not where you played volleyball. Is it? Oh my God. It's Ryan's villain origin story.

Why am I a villain? I don't know. It's heroic backstory. Origin story. Heroic origin story. So one of the great bonding moments between like the friends that we had there is, um, on a Tuesday night, because we were like poor college students, we'd go and get for like 90 cents, a huge cup of Slurpee.

And then we'd all chip in and it was like 11 bucks for a bottle of vodka or bourbon or whatever. So we'd get one between a lot of us and like top up these Slurpees. And then we'd settle in on a Tuesday night and watch the latest episode of Nip Tuck. That of all the shows you could have said, that's amazing. And at first I was kinda like, in on a Tuesday night and watch the latest episode of Nip Tuck. That of all the shows you could have said, that's amazing. And at first I was like, oh, Nip Tuck, I haven't really seen it.

And they go, isn't that guy Australian? And his dad was the prime minister. And you go, yeah, yeah, cool. I've never seen the guy in my life. And then, but then you start watching it. And then every Tuesday you go, oh, see you tonight. And I just became this like thing. And then on Wednesday morning, everyone's like, you guys watch Nip Tuck?

I was like, oh yeah, man, I can't believe she got that surgery. That's just crazy. And like Nip Tuck on a Tuesday brought the people together. Because every day it was like, oh, well, I know that on Monday nights, this is on Tuesday nights, blah, Wednesday's this. And then every day you knew what everybody had watched the night before because you had the same four channels.

Cause cable in Australia is not really a big thing. Like some people have FoxTail, but it's not really as big a thing as like. Not that many and only the elite, the 1%. Yeah. It's like a, it's a fancy bougie girl thing. Although, hang on, watch this. Hey Charles, did you have Foxtail growing up? I did not.

That is surprising. That is surprising. Okay. That is surprising. Oh, oh shit. Tony Lodge, did you have Foxtel growing up? Yeah. Fuck dude.

You got to get your story straight. Not until I was like 15 or 16. Like it was, it was, you know, later in life. And I did have a Foxtel box in my room though. In your room? Yeah. Oh my God. So we had one in the lounge room and then mum and dad got one put in my thing

because they didn't want to watch Hannah Montana. And that's fair. I was like, well, I want to watch is the Disney Channel. And they were like, fuck off. Isn't it extra for a second box? Like a lot more. It's not like now where you get a sign up and there's like three users or whatever. How much extra for a second box?

I don't recall. It's like I'm on trial. It's too many zeros. Pretty expensive. Yeah. Cause that second card? I don't recall. It's like I'm on trial. Too many zeros. Pretty expensive. Yeah. Cause that second card that you need for that. Yeah. Back in the day.

Yeah. You had to put the card in the thing. Yeah. Anyway. So I said to Bridge, apparently Tony claims it's not on Netflix or Amazon. It's on Binge. Yeah. And she, so, and we, and we don't have Binge.

We haven't had it for a bit. Oh, Joe, want my login? Actually, probably. Yeah. So then last night, but we've liked White Lotus in the past and we're like, fuck, is this going to be the show that like gets us back onto binge? And I said, I bridged, they're dropping them once a week. Sorry. They're releasing them once a week. Thank you. And she goes, no. And like, as if that was it. I'm like, oh, well, why don't we like wait till they've, cause we would just get excited and like to crank through it.

And then we've got one show on the go at any one time. And even that's pushing it. So if we're in the zone to find a new show and she's like, well, I'm not going to get barred up and then have to wait. Cause if there's like 10 episodes, that's like three billing cycles. Yeah. But no, but here's the thing about us being rich in inverted commas. Okay.

Bridge goes, if we wait till the end, we can get a seven day free trial and knock out the whole eight EPS in one hit. And then they go, oh, he wakes up. Did you want it? No, fucking so. No, that's actually amazing. Yeah. Cause if we sign up for one week now, what are we going to get? The first step and then the next one. First episode, that's it. Yeah, no.

I would like to offer an alternative. What if I watched it and on loudspeaker explained to you, I seen exactly what was happening. That's completely free. Um, she priceless. Should we offer that as a tier on Patreon? Tony will call you and explain an entire movie. Don't be remember we time when we did personalized individual videos and that took us like 16 months. Yeah. A bit longer than that. Yeah. Fuck. Sorry. Um, maybe. Okay.

16 months is such a random amount of time. Having watched none of this season, but knowing what White Lotus is about. None of this season, one episode. So it's so fine. Yeah. But I don't know any characters or whatever. Yeah. Uh, but having watched the previous two, let me explain what I think the commentary would be. Okay. Oh, they're not doing it this time. There is a hot girl, but she looks sad. There is a boy. Oh, is he hot or has he killed someone? The end. It's actually pretty spot on. Thank you.

Thank you. We are good at acting. Yeah, we are good. I think that though, I would just like to share that my final thoughts on it. Other, I like it week to week. I, cause when it comes out all in one go, I just, I get excited about like watching a week to week, but also if I watch more than one episode of something, I just get like distracted because I'm like, Oh, we're still watching the same thing.

Like, so then I go on my phone today. Like if they're fucking really good, you can't, you know, when an app finishes and you go, Oh, they'll leave you on a cliffhanger and go fuck it, I'll watch the next one. I think the perfect way is the three, three one. Okay. So you get to binge three, binge another three. And then that last one was like a bit longer, like an hour and a half, maybe or whatever, because that's what squids games did.

And I think that was good. All right. I've got something for you. Oh, because you know, I mentioned, I've watched, what was it called? Zero day, day zero, whatever that is with Robert De Niro. You're talking about me. Yeah, I know. So you'll watch the first episode and you'll kind of go, okay, this is pretty like what's

going on. Oh, is that guy good guy about, oh, there's a, there's something happens. And yeah. And you kind of go, oh, this is, this is good. Good performances. The last two minutes of the first step. Hook you right in. You just like fucking here we go.

Oh, okay. All right. And I, that is exciting though. And then you're like, Oh, I want to All right. And I, that is exciting though. And then you're like, Oh, I want to press play. Cause I was liking it and Bridge was like, yeah, I can't, I can't. And then like, she was sort of so, so, and then that final two minutes of the first step and I looked at her and I was like, Oh, and she's like, yep, they fucking got me.

And Bridges cutthroat when it comes to TV and stuff. She's a fucking savage. Yeah. What do you love to see Tony Lodge? I've got to love to see it, which is unfortunately also TV related. Yep. I love to see it. Is the TV show Tipping Point?

Have you ever watched that? With Malcolm Gladwell? I don't know. There's a book called Tipping Point. No, so what's Tipping Point? So it's a game show. Yeah. Oh!

On Channel 9. Wow. So hence I'd never seen it. Yeah. On channel nine. Wow. So hence I'd never seen it. Yeah. The other day I was in a doctor's waiting room and they were running quite late. And I was just sitting there and I was like on my phone. I was like doing emails on my phone or whatever.

And then I was like, Oh my God. I'm like so sick of looking at my phone. And I look up and tipping point is playing and it is fucking thrilling. With the coins? So drop the coin down. That's like one of those little like the shelf moves in and out. That's like your time zone.

Yeah, like at time zone and the thing moves in and out and the whole crowd's like, oh, oh, oh, that's basically the whole show. It's very good. That is incredible. I would watch Channel 9 for that. It's even better without sound. Like I used to watch it all the time at work with no sound. You like muted the thing, yeah.

It's filmed here in Melbourne if you want to go in the audience. I was about to- Could I be a contestant? Yes. Who do we know at Channel 9? I'll call Carl. Straight to the top.

Straight to the top. We can get you on Tipping Point. Would you rather go on Tipping Point or the Chase? Yeah, but the Chase is like... The Chase is also a bit hard. The Chase... OK, we're not going to take offense to what I'm about to say. OK. And because I'm the same.

You don't think I'd do that well on the Chase. The Chase... OK, Tipping Point, I feel like anyone could play. Totally, yep. And the chase, like smart people. I nail the chase at home, but the pressure in the room would be difficult. Yeah, nah.

Do you know the other show that I fucking nail like most weeks? Deal or no deal? No, I don't like that. Family Fortune? No. What's Family Fortune? Family Feud, I mixed up Wheel of Fortune and Family.

No, no, no, Family Feud I'm not good at because I don't like that. Family fortune? No. What's family fortune? Family feud. I mixed up Willow fortune and family. No, no, no. Family feud I'm not good at because I don't think like normal. So like they go like, what's the first thing that you'd put in your mouth? And I'm like, ah, cock! And they're like, well, no, it's a sandwich at lunchtime.

You know, it's like. But what if they are? Do you know what I mean? Like I'm never on the same wavelength. I don't know if I've just made this up. Okay. But I'm pretty sure there's an episode of, there's always, it's always sunny in Philadelphia.

Yeah. And Charlie was one of the person they interviewed. Oh yes. Yeah, it is. Yeah. And he's a ghost. Yeah, he's just the most fucked answers. And they're like, well, obviously not, but there's one person again. But I think that the other show

that I would be quite good at is the 1% Club. I'm quite good at that as well. The Jim Jefferies is the Australian version. Yeah. I like that as well. Which would you prefer? Because there are probably more ins at Channel 7 than we do at Channel 9. 1% Club can be tough. Yeah.

Charles, have you got any TV industry insight into what would be easier to get onto? Oh, well, tipping point, my old work dead, so. Oh, so tipping point we could get in there. All right, all of these are in play. We'll keep everyone updated. But if you were on a show with Jim Jefferies, he might be funnier than you and you wouldn't like that. No, well, he wouldn't like that I'm funnier than him.

I also would probably get out straight away. I probably wouldn't even be one of the contestants they talk to because I just get my light goes off and they go crazy. Tony was in episode one of Beast't even be one of the contestants they talk to, cause I just get my light goes off and they go great. Tony was in episode one of Beast Games and was one of the random people that just got fucked up. I was one of the thousand people that just fell straight through the bottom of the.

My love to see it is from Tapa Caitlin. Hi Caitlin. Said it'd be- Me Maitland Caitlin. At the beginning of the year, I adopted Tony's 2020 Thrive mindset. Love. Despite being overwhelmed and stressed at work, she's in sales. Oh my god, I could never.

I've sold one third of my whole year's worth in the first two months. What? And if I keep this up, I will be buying my first house this year. Talk about coming out of the fucking gates hot in 2020 Thrive. Caitlin, get around her. It's fucking, it's February. Yeah. We aren't a third of the way through the year, which means that she's ahead.

I think that's what she's saying. That is wild. Good job, Caitlin. Very good job. Not TV related, but that's okay. Well, I wonder what she's selling. Maybe she's selling old monitors like TV. Maybe she's selling TV ads.

Oh, that'd be a tough biz. I don't think she's sold all of it. I don't think that. I don't think people do that anymore. I think they fired them all. Yeah. Anyway, a very sad end to a very great episode. Tomorrow, what are we not wearing? Underwear. Socks. Both, because this scoop

is going to blow your socks off and pop your pussy open. Might do. I'm a doctor. Bye. Love you. You're talking about me? No. This episode is brought to you by Audible.
