Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan, Vice Captain of the ship. This is Dr. Arthur, best-selling Dr. Arthur, Tony Lodge. And we're calling Sam, who is in Armidale in New South Wales. There's an Armidale in Sydney, in Melbourne, and in Perth. So are we sure that she's definitely in New South Wales? Well, this is way out of Sydney, like New South Wales town, I think. The Melbourne one's good, like rich people area. Sam, it's Tony and Ryan. How are you doing?
Starting point is 00:00:30 Hey, I'm good. How are you guys? Now, Sam, if you were in Armidale in Melbourne, you'd be in a really ritzy suburb. If you were in Armidale in Perth, you would be... Wanting to move. Wanting to move. In New South Wales, where on the scale is your Armidale?
Starting point is 00:00:46 Definitely closer to Perth than Melbourne, but not quite wanting to move, but very close. Okay. Well, congratulations. Just on the real estate app, just looking around, seeing what's available. Well, Sam, will you approve today's episode? Of course I will.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Legend. Hey, it's Sam from Armadale in New South Wales and I approve this podcast. You know how earlier this year there was a rumour and an accusation that I may have blurted out our baby's name at a restaurant after you, the three of us, Cam here as well, had a few drinks? Well, the accusation was that it did occur and we knew the name so it wasn't as if we were like, oh, that happened,
Starting point is 00:01:43 and then you said, well, what's the name? And we went, Jenny, like we knew what the name was so when i said oh she's been born it's mabel we like oh great name like do you remember what happened i um so i chose to not start using the name until like you'd given me permission yeah yep so it wasn't as if then after that i went oh how's bridge how's mabel i was like how's I went, oh, how's Bridge? How's Mabel? I was like, how's the babe going? Like, how's the bump? You know, whatever.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Because I was like, you haven't told me that that's her name yet to be like, Mabel's been born. Imagine if I let it slip out and then you got another dog. You wouldn't have probably gotten pregnant. Talking about my family. Yeah. That's actually my daughter that's right i i love her so much yeah imagine i love her too i just bought her a book the other day you did thank you you left it on your desk which is a bit passive-aggressive eh yeah well i'm taking you know all the shit i got on my today i brought
Starting point is 00:02:38 the big car in so i can take all the shit home that's accumulated in our office fuck our office is messy at the moment so we've got a lot of stuff. And I was like, oh, because I drove in today because the weather's shit and I had a few other things I've got to pick up on the way home. Everything going all right with the post office, mate? Is it okay if I leave my stuff here until I move? No. Fuck no.
Starting point is 00:02:57 Because I don't want to just take that stuff into the house that then has to be moved. No, because then the removalists and torbs, remember you're not the one doing the moving. But that's kind of why I'm like, I don't want to bring more shit into our home. That's just going to sit in the box until we move because I'm like, oh, don't open it yet.
Starting point is 00:03:11 We'll just open it there. Yeah, but it's going to sit in our office. But it's just like in the corner. It's like not taking up any room. It kind of is though. Okay, anyway, off air chat. Mum and dad are fighting. I want to talk about name stealers because the reason a lot of people
Starting point is 00:03:28 try to keep it secret is so that no one else steals it imagine if you got another dog right and then you go oh right this is mabel and i go you fucking you know i think we will get another dog do you yeah i do yeah we've been talking about it. Like when we moved to the new house because Pippa is such a good dog that we really want another dog to have the same good characteristics that she has. You know how people say that? But wouldn't it be the other way around? For instance, we've got such a good dog I'd hate to jinx it
Starting point is 00:04:00 and bring a little terrorist into the house. But can you imagine if we got a little puppy that learnt all of Pippa's good traits? But I don't know if dogs do that. I think they do. Because you know how mum's dog, Kenneth the Meneth, he's a psychopath. Yeah. And then he hangs out with Bron and he goes, oh, Bron's so well behaved. I know what I should do.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Be even fucking crazier. Oh, maybe. I don't know, but who am I to say? Yeah. You do. I'm so happy for you. Just don't call it Mabel. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:04:29 This lady who listens to the podcast has sent this in anonymously. Oh. Since I was in high school, I just knew the name of our future daughter. Oh. You know, I just always knew what it was going to be. And one of my good friends was adamant that I had to tell her you know the friends like oh she would die if she didn't know
Starting point is 00:04:50 besties tell each other everything you just need to tell me okay so she's a narcissist and like not a good friend so I cracked what was her name what was the friend's name I cracked and told her the name Willow.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Taylor Swift stole it, used it for a song. My friend thought it was adorable. She's into witchcraft and Wiccan stuff, and so she just like absolutely loved it. This so-called bestie of mine went on to have kids before me, and guess what she decided to call her daughter? What a bitch. What a bitch. What a bitch.
Starting point is 00:05:27 She called it Willow. Yeah, he called it Janine. Yeah. Nothing to do with it. That is, that's nasty. But guess what, says the confessor. I know, my friend. I know she's a thieving bitch.
Starting point is 00:05:43 I never intended to call my daughter Willow. I just threw that dog a bone. Threw that bitch a bone, more like. And kept the name Waverley all to myself. And years later. Wizards of Waverley Place. Years later, I am very happy with my big family and I'm very content with the way it all played out.
Starting point is 00:06:04 So she, a red herring. Very happy with my big family and I'm very content with the way it all played out. So she... A red herring. Isn't the term throw that dog a bone a fucking great line? So juicy. Yeah. And imagine just no, like, I trust you to be a bitch. It's not like, oh, should I trust you not to be? I just know that you're a bitch i'm
Starting point is 00:06:25 gonna plan for that isn't that sometimes a bit heartbreaking that you go like lay a little trap but then people prove you right it's so heartbreaking when you go oh you're actually the person i thought you were and that sucks that does suck you know like especially with a friend who goes no you can trust me and i won't steal the name and then she literally got pregnant the next day and was like oh this is willow Willow. Yeah, what a bitch. Clever from the friend, though. Yeah. I'm guessing they don't talk anymore.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Don't know. Well, now that, like you said, she's got a happy family, they're doing their thing and like. So on Friends, when Rachel has her baby, it's a baby girl and they can't think of a good name. They had decided on a name and they're like oh it's just not really her and monica says like oh i've had my names picked out since i was a little girl and she goes and rachel goes oh what are they and she goes and she goes no i'm not gonna want the name like don't be stupid and she goes it's emma and she
Starting point is 00:07:19 goes oh like that would be good for this and And they end up calling her Emma. Really? What a bitch. Like Monica says you can have it like she's an Emma, but yeah, they call her Emma. Monica was just being nice. Well, I mean. Which is very un-Monica. But Rachel has just had a baby.
Starting point is 00:07:34 She's hormonal. You know, like what are you going to say no to a woman that's just had a child? Then similar to the tarpa, you know that Rachel's a bitch and you give her a fake name. And you give her a fake name. She should have been like, yeah, Persephone. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:47 How is that the first name that came to my brain? You've said that before. I like the name Persephone because – fake name. People are in Persephone. Double PFM. A girl I went to uni with, her name was Persephone, but she went as Seffy. Oh, that's cool. Which was really cool.
Starting point is 00:08:06 That's really fucking hot. Yeah. Does she have tattoos? Yeah. She's dropped to Dangerfield? I can already picture her in my mind. She's fucking cool. And, like, her family was pretty, like, well off.
Starting point is 00:08:15 And she used to drive a blue Audi. Whoa. And the number plate was Seffy. That is cool. It was just, like, real American high school vibes. Yeah, it sounds like it. But, yeah, and she's, really just like beautiful and hot and cool and like there's no way she listens to this podcast.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I don't know if I like her or hate her. It's hard to decide. Yeah. Brianna says, we got a call. We got a call. We got a dog and we called it Maximus. We love the name, but a family member pulled me aside and goes, oh, we're actually going to call our son Maximus.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Were they already pregnant? I'm not sure. That's an important detail, I think. It is a very important detail. But they pulled them aside and said, oh, like, we're going to call our son Maximus. Do you mind, like, maybe calling the dog something else? And they kind of went, oh, we love the name Maximus, but, like, it's a dog.
Starting point is 00:09:05 It's, like, sure. What would you do in that situation? As, like, a people pleaser, I think, though, that I would appreciate that they'd come to me and not just bitched about me instead. Like, I think I would appreciate them going, this is really awkward, but, like, we're pregnant. We actually love the name Max.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Like, are you okay with it? I'd probably go, oh, my God, we can – you know, like – Bridget's pregnant again and we're going to have another daughter and call her Pippa. Can you change your dog's name? I don't think you can do it if she's already called Pippa. Like, if we got Pippa today and I was like, we're going to call her Pippa and you went, we've actually got that name picked. I'd go, oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:09:46 So you're going to allow Bridget and I to call our child what we want to call her? No, no, no. I would change it if we'd just gotten Pippa. But we already have Pippa long before you were even thinking about it. That seems like you just want to get your way and that's shit. Okay. Like I don't think they're the same.
Starting point is 00:10:00 But that's not the first Max-related beef I've ever heard. What do you mean? Do you remember a friend of ours who had a – Do you know what I'm talking about? Oh, yeah. Too soon, mate. Yeah. There's been some beef in the office that we record this podcast.
Starting point is 00:10:13 But a lot of Maxes coming up in the world. Yeah, that's surprising, isn't it? Yeah, to the Max. They ended up changing the name of the dog? Oh, I think that's – I think if they were pregnant and they were already thinking about it, then I think that's fair enough. They ended up having two boys in the next three years and didn't call either of them Maximus.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Nah. What would you like to say to them? Fuck you. That's such a, like, shit thing. That's very, like, have your cake and eat it too vibes It's like oh we actually want to call our kid Max And you go oh my god okay Like that's fine and then they don't use it anyway
Starting point is 00:10:51 I think that you should use this As a sign to not call your kid that Yeah Like if someone goes oh We're pregnant we're going to call our kid Max And then someone goes we just got a dog we're going to call it Max You go alright not meant to be. Yep, it's Perstefany.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Perstefany? What was the name? Why is it fine when you say it and then I say it and it's not cool anymore? Perstefany. Yeah. You're saying Perstefany like one Perstefany, like one per person called Stephanie.
Starting point is 00:11:19 This is the quote as Perstefany. That's really funny, but it's not right. Eric has messaged us. Hi, Erica. Eric has messaged us. And they said, oh, I often get confused with Erica. Eric messaged us saying, when my colleague's wife got pregnant, his entire life's purpose became to find a name that was bully-proof.
Starting point is 00:11:47 He'd come to the office, tell us a name, go, is there anything bad that rhymes with it? Is there anything you can get teased? And we actually thought it was really cute that he cared so much. I think that's cute. And you can tell that he obviously got bullied as a kid. And obviously it was called like... I actually can't think of a name.
Starting point is 00:12:05 Well, his name's actually Eric Sticker a dick in my ass so all like richard and then everyone went oh dick you know something like that he road tested a bunch of names and they finally found the perfect name for their perfect bundle of joy this beautiful little girl and they gave her the name oh that was like bully proof yeah bully proof perfect yeah two weeks later an internet company launches a new product and that product was the same name as the baby alexa yeah oh fuck eric's colleague said the day amazon launched alexa was the worst day of his life years later he's confirmed whenever someone at his daughter's school doesn't know something they always say hey alexa and it's so funny and it fucks the daughter off to no end that is so funny
Starting point is 00:12:52 it is actually hilarious oh you can't future proof like you can't see into the oh that is such a shame do you do you keep Alexa? Oh, the kid was in, like, yeah. Oh, no, it was two weeks later. So, like, do you not go, okay, let's change it to Rebecca. But also, remember, Alexa was, like, this startup book website. Like, you don't know how big Alexa is going to be. Oh, yeah, true, because it was just Amazon.
Starting point is 00:13:21 You go, well, what's that? Well, people, internet companies bring out fucking shit all the time. Yeah. Do you remember the iiNet one? Oh, my son, Oculus. Yeah, like the iiNet one. It was called like Bob or something. No.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Yeah, I think it was. Obviously it went well. Well, that's the thing. Like you go, oh, no, the iiNet thing. And then you go, well, fucking everyone's forgotten about that anyway. Maybe his last name was Jeeves. He's like, I get it. Oh, just ask Jeeves.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Eric Jeeves. Eric Jeeves. Hey, it's Sam from Armadale in New South Wales and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. Kim Gillette, thank you so much for our... The best a man can get? Yeah. That's what her husband says. These are the championship...

Why are you doing this to me? I just thought it might be nice to hang out at. I'm just like, you know, like we're in town. I was like, what are you adding me about this? Why are you doing this to me? I just thought it might be nice to hang out at the finish line and like, you know, cheer for people. It actually is like a big moment, right?
Starting point is 00:16:12 Like it's like a really big thing. I can't wait to pretend that I'm like a rich, like fashionable person while I'm in New York. I feel like in New York you can dress like a psychopath and if other people don't get it, you're obviously just a fashionista. You're not just like – Yeah, it's like you just don't get it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:27 You're the problem. Yeah. Not this holey shirt that I'm wearing. Yeah. Yeah. I have to decide on like a vibe for the trip because I also can't take too many clothes because we're going to be traveling actually so much. And you're going to buy every souvenir everywhere.
Starting point is 00:16:38 And I'm going to buy so much stuff while I'm in it. But we are leaving on the 25th of October. We are there for October and most of November. We'd love to see you there. All the details in our Facebook group as well. You're nervous, aren't you? I am nervous, yeah. I'm trying to play really cool, but I'm not being cool at all
Starting point is 00:16:57 because I just talked about trying to look cool in America and I'm not going to look cool there because I don't look cool here. Oh, this is so weird. I don't know why I'm feeling going to look cool there because I don't look cool here. I, oh, this is so weird. I don't know why I'm feeling so weird. Over the weekend, I celebrated, saw, watched this happen. It was the 10-year anniversary of my mum passing away on Saturday, on the 9th of September. 10 years.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Does it feel like 10 years? Does it feel like? It feels like 10 years. Does it feel like 10 years? Does it feel like? It feels like 10 years. It feels like 100 years. It feels like five minutes. It feels like it hasn't happened yet. Like I think I remember catching up with a friend of mine. Their mum had cancer and it was about a week
Starting point is 00:17:47 it was six days after my mum had passed away yeah and i went and had lunch with bronwyn and she was like oh how how are you feeling and i was like it hasn't even been a week yet like i don't i don't know yeah and i remember in that moment thinking like one day i'm gonna have to tell someone it's been a year and one day i'm gonna have to tell someone it's been a year. One day I'm going to have to tell someone it's been five years. And I think since that moment, six days after she died, I've been thinking about how I would feel when I had to say that it had been 10 years. And is it still sunk in?
Starting point is 00:18:19 It doesn't sound like I'm saying the words. It doesn't sound like real because 10 years sounds like flippant, right? It's like, oh, that happened 10 years ago. Like my partner Torbs and I, we've been going out together for almost 10 years and I go, oh, yeah, like 10 years. It just doesn't sound like a real number. Did he meet your mum? No.
Starting point is 00:18:40 So we were at uni together while my mum was sick. Sick, yeah. But you weren't doing the hippity-dippity yet. No, so we weren't, like, sleeping together yet. And also, like, I left uni because I was caring for mum. So then when she passed away, I, like, fully left and then I ended up going back the following year. But, yeah, no, so unfortunately he didn't get to meet mum.
Starting point is 00:19:00 But, like, the first time, like, I ever took him to where my mum's, like, ashes are and she's got a little plaque in Perth at Pinaroo, he, like, came with me and he, like, introduced himself and it was, like, really special. As special as I guess. How did he introduce himself? Well, he was like, oh, like, Liz, I've heard so much about you. Like, it's like a pleasure to be here. Like, it was a really special, like, a really special moment
Starting point is 00:19:24 that I, like, won't forget. I thought, because you know how you were, like, doing it for a Like it was a really special, like a really special moment that I like won't forget. I thought, because you know how you were like doing it for a year or so before you were like together. Yeah. He didn't just rock up and be like, I'm fucking in there. Or he goes. Is that the right time to say that? He goes like, who?
Starting point is 00:19:39 He's like, we're just fucking. I don't know what you're talking about. He's your mum, Dan. That's weird. Like, you know what I mean? Like, he's just got no idea. Or he's like, I'm actually sleeping with your daughter. Fuck, what's her name?
Starting point is 00:19:52 Tanya. Great girl. Tabitha. Yeah. Who's that girl? But I guess like to reset for anybody who doesn't know, my mum died from cancer in 2013. She had a brain tumour, CNS lymphoma, central nervous system lymphoma.
Starting point is 00:20:05 It's very rare. She died. It was awful. How long between finding out she's sick until her passing away? 11 months. So she was- So 11 months prior, how good's this? My daughter's-
Starting point is 00:20:20 Were you 19? I was 18 at the time, yeah. Yep, life's good, blah, blah, blah blah and then a year later like it's well so i didn't haven't planned this but actually just before she was like diagnosed she went on a massive trip to america oh really so my mom and dad were in their like part of life where they were like we're just gonna travel and go and have fun well the youngest had finished school and yeah i was at uni and so they were like, fucking. Fuck yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Here we go. We bought her a car. That's like our last thing that we have to do for her. Don't ask for anything else right now. Yeah, like push her out into the world and we'll go and do stuff. And they were in the US for two or three weeks, I think. And then when mum was away, she just wasn't feeling like 100%. She got back and then anyway, they ended up finding out that this was had happened and um and yeah so
Starting point is 00:21:07 she was like in home and um in the hospital and at home and stuff and it was just it was really awful it was hard to see like someone that is like so great and so tough like go through that but um anyway so i wrote a book and there's a lot about my mum in there. Like there really is a lot about her in there because it's very important to me that people know who she is because like they would never get an opportunity to meet her now. It seems like such a shame that she was just like the coolest person ever and like it's just like gone now.
Starting point is 00:21:43 So it was a real pleasure to be able to like write about her in my book. Pleasure but also fucked? Yeah, I mean it's probably all the same stuff I would have written about her even if she was still alive except for the parts about her not being here, you know. Oh, but like fucked in that you had to sit down and think about it and just like. But it was nice to like revisit all these like weird memories
Starting point is 00:22:04 that we had of like silly things that she'd said or dumb stuff we'd done together or, you know, like it was actually really nice. But at this time of year, I never am like remembering the nice stuff. It's like the shit stuff because I'm thinking about that time, like, you know, the two weeks before, the week before, the day before, the night of. So is this time the hardest time of year?
Starting point is 00:22:28 Yeah. Yeah, it's always like the week before is really hard and it's like you don't know whether to, like, plan something to distract yourself or whether to organise nothing so that you don't have to do anything. You don't, like, and I think that anybody with, like, an anniversary that they'd rather't have to do anything. You don't like, and I think that anybody with like an anniversary that they'd rather not have to remember is probably the same thing. Like it's like you want to celebrate it because you want
Starting point is 00:22:53 to mark the occasion, I guess. Or acknowledge it and like, you know, remember the good times and all those sort of things. And like let yourself feel either happy or sad or whatever you want to feel. But at the same time, you kind of just wish it was fucking done. And it's like now that the day's gone, I feel like relieved. But it's also like, oh, well, it's going to come again. But this one particularly is really tough because it's just like 10 years.
Starting point is 00:23:27 It's like the universal amount of time for our reunion. It's like enough time that people go, oh, who was that guy I went to high school with? A business has been around for 10 years. It's like a huge moment. Do you have a business? Or like when you turn – I remember turning 10. moment or like you know when you turn i remember turning 10 so if i think about like turning having my 10th birthday when i was in year five my friend sarah nicholson bought me a pink velcro roxy waller but if i think about all of the minutes of my life up until that exact point that's how long
Starting point is 00:23:58 she's been dead for like that is just i tell you what's going to freak you out crazy in years to come yeah you will have been alive for longer without her than you were with her is that like a weird it's really scary yeah because i i feel like she's just getting like further and further away like yeah it like it's almost like oh fuck, fuck, you're still talking about that. Like it feels like I'm like, oh, should I be over that now? It's been that long. Is there a weird like thing where people imply that or like you feel like you should have or because, yeah, there's been some things when it's like I don't want to stop thinking about it.
