Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. I'm Ryan. This is Dr. Author Tony Lodge. Hello. And we're about to call... Anya. Anya, who is in Belfast, Ireland. Yep. So we've Googled the pronunciation. Yep. Because we both said Ayn.
Starting point is 00:00:16 Hello. Anya! It's Tony and Ryan. How you doing? Hi, beautiful people. How's our pronunciation, Anya? Because we just Googled and YouTubed how to pronounce Ayn. Yes, it's definitely Anya. Well done. Yes.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Are you surprised? Did you think we were going to call and say Ayn? To be honest, I thought there was probably enough Irish people in Australia that you could probably ask somebody. That is a fair point. Yeah, that is. I mean, my boyfriend's whole family is Irish as they come. Didn't think of that, did we?
Starting point is 00:00:48 Didn't think of that, yeah. I didn't want to call him. Anyway, Anya, names aside. What are you studying to – what are you studying, Anya? So my PhD is in women's history. Basically all these, like these European women, Australian women who travelled to China during the Li Qing period. It's like Victorian Facebook.
Starting point is 00:01:12 So you're going to have a PhD in women. Yeah, essentially. Tough as you can do what you will with that information. Yeah, that's up to you. Anya, will you approve today's podcast? Absolutely, literally. Woohoo! Yay! you will with that information. Yeah, that's up to you. Anya, will you approve today's podcast? Absolutely. Woohoo! Yay!
Starting point is 00:01:28 Hi, this is Anya from Belfast and I approve this podcast. All right, coming up today. Yesterday we were discussing things we were warned about as children that we probably didn't need to be warned about. Yeah. Today, things that you should have been warned about. But we weren't. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:56 Everyone's got it all mixed up. It's the flip. There's a lot of stuff we spend a lot of time worrying about that no one warned us. Bermuda Triangle for one. No, that's the opposite. That's opposite. You okay, mate?
Starting point is 00:02:11 Yeah, I'm all good. I'm just stressed about the Bermuda Triangle. Can you just read the all-star email that I just sent? Oh, fuck off. I just sent an all-star email. By the way, we have a team of four and they're all in the room. I don't have an email from you. I think I maybe blocked you.
Starting point is 00:02:27 You're both looking hot. Thank you, James. All staff, please compliment the talent. Me being referred to as a talent, that is just shocking anyway. Today, it's Tuesday. Let's do some confessions. These are top confessions. Top confessions.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Tony and Ryan some confessions. These are tarp confessions. Tarp confessions. Tony and Ryan podcast. Confessions. And you can submit these on our new website, tonyandryan.com.au. This is a confession from a lady biker. Beautiful. I'd love to get into cycling. You know what I Googled the other day?
Starting point is 00:02:58 Peloton. So not. Bless you. I don't think that's how that works. No, but it's nice, isn't it? Because when someone sneezes, they get this huge like applause and then when you cough, sometimes you just want a little bit of recognition.
Starting point is 00:03:16 How about. Cough again. How about every time. Cough again. Bless you. Doesn't that feel nice? I like the recognition but I feel like I would prefer a compliment. Let's come up with something else.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Cough again. Where am I, the doctor? Cough again. I haven't coughed this much on demand without a finger going. I can put a finger in your bum if you want. Cough again. Nice one. For those playing along at home who couldn't see it,
Starting point is 00:03:43 Tony had like a finger gun. Nice one. Nice one, Tony. So now, from now on, if someone coughs, you go, nice one. Nice one. Cough again. You cough. You look great today.
Starting point is 00:03:54 No. Nice one. Nice one. Thanks, mate. Okay, great. Lock that in. That feels right. Lock that in.
Starting point is 00:04:03 And you feel good. I'm so glad we've gotten to the bottom of this The cough feels good But the other person feels like a fucking hero Yeah, because I've given you a compliment Cough again Nice one Fuck, that's good
Starting point is 00:04:16 Everyone wins Yeah, God What are we doing? Oh, we're on Yeah, the sexy bike Oh, the Peloton I got a good Peloton the other day. So hang on.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Are you going to start Pelotoning or are you going to get a bike and hit the road? I don't think I could hit the road. I actually don't think I could cycle to the end of my street. Yeah, you could. You've been running and stuff. Cycling is way easier. Is it?
Starting point is 00:04:38 Yeah, because you just do like momentum and stuff. But cycling is hard work. So Peloton, would that be? Because that's like an exercise bike. A little bit of both, isn't it? Yeah. I've looked at Pelotons as well. Have you?
Starting point is 00:04:52 Yeah. Do you want to share one? We'll get one downstairs. They're fucking expensive. They fucking see you coming, eh? They do. And then at the bottom, it's like, add clicky shoes, 200 bucks, so you're fucking laid up.
Starting point is 00:05:02 But then you have to pay like 30 bucks a month to use the system. $59 a month it is. So you have to pay up front and then they sting it so you buy the thing and then it's 59 this is not an ad by the way it's the opposite 59 too expensive 59 a month yeah and then i found one the other day and it was like um i think the brand was like nordic track and it's the same thing but a bit cheaper and their thing is $58 a month like so they just cost you money not to yeah 12 bucks a year I mean that's like half a coffee cough again nice one confessions of a lady biker this could be me after a stressful day I wanted to unwind so I took my motorbike for a cruise nice would you ever get your motorbike license I've thought
Starting point is 00:05:43 about it so every day when I lived in Thailand My mode of transport was a scooter And I loved it A little like Vespa Yeah, I loved it Loved it, loved it, loved it They're fucking good on fuel too Like cheaper than your car
Starting point is 00:05:55 Can park it anywhere Yeah, that'd be amazing I'd love to do it What do you do if you've got a heap of shopping? Do you know what I mean? What if you pop down to Ikea And then you can't put on your motorbike uh well first of all in thailand there's not a lot you don't say on scooters people buy a
Starting point is 00:06:10 huge flat screen tvs one of them's on the back yeah yeah so i'm all about that but yeah i just had a backpack and you just sort of make it work and then if you have a big shop i'm guessing maybe uber eats that or something yeah yeah hire a After a stressful day, I wanted to unwind. So I took my motorbike for a cruise. Nice. There's this bridge with slats. So when you ride over the bridge, you can like look down through the thing and like see the river below. Spooky. That sounds like a Disneyland ride. But the thing about riding on the slats is the vibration because you're going across goes. Yeah. Because of the stress and the need for relief, I rode back and forth over the bridge and had the most incredible orgasm of my life, which was both incredibly amazing and incredibly dangerous.
Starting point is 00:06:58 Well, yeah, because your hands are, you're driving a vehicle. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, I'm thinking about slats. This sounds like a Rihanna song. Is it Strap On And Drive? What was that song? Shut Up And Drive.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Shut up and drive. Very different to Strap On And Drive. Yeah. The Confessor says they're a little bit embarrassed. And I get it. But I reckon Be Proud, that's fucking sick. It's pretty hot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:23 And it's like more socially acceptable to like ride your bike. Like if you just get home and you're on the train or how was your day? Oh, I was just so stressed. I just want to wank. I don't think that would be. I just want to wank. I don't think. See, this is why.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Whereas if I go, I've had a big day, I might just go for a bike ride. People go, oh, sounds great, bro. Sounds lovely. Healthy way to just blow off some steam. Oh, but also the wind in your hair, pubic hair. You don't have a helmet on. That's hot. Oh, but your hair sometimes at the bottom.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Yeah, that is hot. That's your leg hair. I haven't shaved my legs in a while, so I'd probably get a little bit of steam on those bad boys. Love it. Yeah. Shout out to our lady biker. This one's called how to Fail a Medical Exam.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Do drugs. At medical school, male students always got a bit awkward anything boob related. Yeah. Because that's medical. You've got to learn this stuff, but the boys are like. And also when you're like young and you don't feel very confident, you're are like. And also when you're like young and you don't feel very confident, you're just like, ooh.
Starting point is 00:08:26 It's tough because we did practical exams on real people. I guess you have to. So an exam would go, hey, can you meet this person? Can you, and I'll watch you do it. And I think I've mentioned before, but when I was like in the mental hospital, I was a lot of people's exam. Yeah, because they had like the student doctors coming through. Yeah, they used to examine me.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Yeah. Yeah, and I had all those like trying to fuck with them a little bit. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So it was both examiners in the room. And they're like, can you hear me clearly? You're like, no. Mine was both examiners in the room.
Starting point is 00:08:57 They go, there's only one. And I go, oh, is there? They all passed, by the way. I said, can you let me know how they go? Oh, and you would want to, I reckon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So this old lady has donated her time so the students can practice doing
Starting point is 00:09:12 like heartbeat tests and stuff. Yeah, that's cool. Heartbeat tests. Oh, like ECGs and stuff like that. Yeah, it's a bit old school, like to feel the heartbeat. Oh, yeah. The awkward part is that you have to feel just below. Because it's under your boob.
Starting point is 00:09:24 It's just below the height of the nipple. Yeah. So normally, says the confessor, who was just in the room there, not the person that did it, you would either ask the patient to kind of lift up the boob so you can feel under. Yeah. Or you kind of use the back of your hand to kind of lift up so then you can feel the thing.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Yeah. That's exactly actually what I just did with my hand, the back of my hand. Back of the hand, bang. Yeah. This one poor boy. Instead of moving the whole boob, he just grabbed her nipple and lifted it up and tried to lift the whole boob via the nipple.
Starting point is 00:09:58 That would really hurt. Yeah. And the examiner just jumped in and went, oh, that'll actually do it for today actually. Okay, let's move on, Jeremy. Thank you. Yeah. And the examiner just jumped in and went, oh, that'll actually do it for today actually. Okay, let's move on, Jeremy. Thank you. Yeah. That guy's now a urologist.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Other end of the body. Yeah. Just flipped it. Went, you know what? No boobs for me. I'll do the bottom half. Urologist, that's like kidney stones and stuff, right? Urine.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I just assumed that, yeah. Yeah. Sorry, I said that that i really backed it in check that someone google urologist um but so this is what happens is that the urinary tract yeah yeah so kidney stones all that kind of thing so they get back into the class and they go all right most people did a great job um just a warning oh just a note for everybody. Yeah. If you're moving the breast. Don't. Oh. And you're already so vulnerable. Like, you know how when I had my chest pains and how I had to go
Starting point is 00:10:54 and have that ultrasound, the echocardiogram. A breast cancer scare. No, no, no. This was the other time when I had to have the echocardiogram, like the original victim of medical comedy. Yes. When they were doing the ultrasound on my heart and I said,
Starting point is 00:11:10 you have to tell me if it's a boy or a girl. I don't remember that. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. That should have got a good response. It was in my book as well. Yeah, I remember.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Yeah, it was a big part of it. Anyway. How many chapters was that joke? Well, it's like one chapter but it's like the whole story. Anyway, it doesn't matter. One or four chapters. Oh, mate, it's fine. Anyway, and like there's something very vulnerable about like
Starting point is 00:11:34 and because often those rooms are quite cold and so your nipples naturally get hard because you're a bit nervous and a bit like you've got a lot of nervous energy and so you've got quite hard nipples so I can only imagine. He's like, no, this is what they do on the medical pornos i've seen yeah i've seen this before your honor hi this is anya and you're listening to tony and ryan A massive shout-out to a few of our champion tapions from the Patreon, Tarpers, Tony and Ryan Podcast.

If you want to come in, Tony, you can't just be see it. Today, as well, we are making a few phone calls. If you want to be in Tony's box and... If you want to come in, Tony, you can't just be in it. You've got to come in it as well. You've got to be in it to come in it. And I've always said that. You have actually always said that. If you want to come in Tony's box, we are calling
Starting point is 00:12:56 people today. Make sure if it's a private number, don't go, oh, it's a private number. It's probably a scam. Still could be, but it could also be us. But it could be us. Could be us. Yep. And if you happen to answer a call by saying, I want to come in Tony's box, which is mandatory. If you answer our call and don't do that, you will be ineligible. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:16 But if you happen to do that to someone who isn't us, please tell us. Yeah. We would love to hear those stories. And we'll get to hear all of the people Answering later in the week or next week But the box is on mate Next week Box is happening
Starting point is 00:13:30 Yesterday we talked about things We were warned about as children Like this is what your future will look like And they were wrong For example The Bermuda Triangle You think it's going to be a big deal. Those things are going to be a big deal.
Starting point is 00:13:48 People trying to sell you drugs, you just think that's going to happen all the time. Let me read this sentence. When I was a child, I thought my future would involve avoiding the Bermuda Triangle and people trying to sell me drugs. But no one warned me how much time I would spend trying to remember passwords. On a ratio of trying to remember a password
Starting point is 00:14:08 and avoiding the Bermuda Triangle, what has adult life proved to be? Yeah, definitely more password heavy. Yeah. Or trying to come up with a new password when it says that you can't use your old password. Was that at SCA when we both worked at SCA? It's like every three days they're like, oh. It actually couldn't be the same as the old one,
Starting point is 00:14:25 like a variant of an old one. Yeah, and when you've worked there for a while you're like, oh, how many pets have you had? Did you? Yeah. So hang on, just on that, this is the difference between Tony and I, I believe. We get a notification that goes, in 30 days your password will expire.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Yep. So then what do you do? I change it straight away. Yeah. Yeah. So then I log in the next day and it goes, in 29 days. And will expire. Yep. So then what do you do? I change it straight away. Yeah. Yeah. So then I log in the next day and it goes, in 29 days. And I go, oh. And then I get to the final day and I go, fuck,
Starting point is 00:14:51 I'll have to do that later this hour. Yeah. Then I forget and then I call IT. Then you've got to call IT. And then I call them the next day and they go, was there any pop-ups? And I go, yeah, every day for the last 30 days. And I was trying for that whole 30 days to come up with a new password and none of them worked.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Because I've only ever had two pets. Yeah. And they run out real quick. Well, there's just all the different combinations of. But it's, yeah, that has been a really big part of my adult life that I didn't think about. Thinking about what to have for dinner. Every fucking day.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Every fucking day. Every fucking day. As soon as you finish dinner, you're only 23 hours away from another fucking dinner. And, like, even, like, breakfast and, like, making lunches and shit. Like, I don't have kids, so it's just Torbs and I, but we'll do, like, normally we'll pick one thing for the week. Like, we'll do, like, ham and cheese rolls or, like, a little salad. No, we don't normally do for the week. Like we'll do like ham and cheese rolls or like a little salad. No, we don't normally do bologna.
Starting point is 00:15:49 Okay. But like or we'll go, oh, we're doing tuna and rice this week or like whatever. But every night you've got to fucking make the fucking thing. Yeah. Isn't that a scam? I think it is a scam. I think it's like a pyramid scheme.
Starting point is 00:16:02 Yeah. Lunch and breakfast and dinner. Big tuna. Big lunch. Yeah. Lunch and breakfast and dinner. Big tuna. Big lunch. Yeah. Big lunch. Like I just want to order a burrito every day. And the difference, I have to credit where credit's due,
Starting point is 00:16:14 you've done a great job of making lunches this year. I actually have. I've brought a green smoothie every morning as well. Brought a green smoothie, brought a lunch. I've done a great job of ordering the burritos. You have, yeah. And not making lunches and spending a fortune and every morning as well. Brought a green smoothie, brought a lunch. I've done a great job of ordering the burritos. You have, yeah. And not making lunches and spending a fortune and getting even fatter. So on behalf of the team, good job.
Starting point is 00:16:33 You're really holding down the fort. Yeah. But making dinner, fucking, you know, stacking and unstacking the dishwasher or doing dishes. What's the point of a fucking dishwasher if you have to unstack it? Like why can't I just, do you know what? I feel the same, sorry, this is a little bit off topic, but I feel the same way about a robo vacuum.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Yeah, it does the thing, but I've still got to empty it. Where's the robot that empties the other robot? Where's the robot that empties the robot vacuum cleaner? Where's the fucking robot that puts the bins out? I'm living for that, 2032, hopefully. That'll be around. Oh, we've got to move back into apartments. Because who's the robot that takes the bins out?
Starting point is 00:17:11 Isn't that humbling? Two bins down the thing and one tips over and oh. So you know how AI in theory is taking all our jobs? Yeah. Why doesn't AI focus instead of taking our jobs on taking the bins out? Literally. They're focusing on the wrong areas. Chat GPT, please take out bins.
Starting point is 00:17:28 Please send robot to house to take out bins. Oh, don't send them over because what if they get comfy and they like it? But what if then they take the bins out every week? Yeah, I'd cop that. You know what I mean? I've got a spare room. I'd actually cop a robot living in my house.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Things we should have. Actually, let me robot living in my house. Things we should have... Actually, let me read this other sentence. Fuck calculus and fuck algebra. In high school, we should have learned about taxes and how to accumulate the most points on our frequent flyer program. Totally agree. When was the last time you used fucking Pythagoras' theorem? Very rarely.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Right. But when they go, oh, if you spend over $60, you get 1.5 points per dollar spent. Very rarely. Right. But when they go, oh, if you spend over $60, you get 1.5 points per dollar spent. That's good maths. Or like what does compounding interest mean? You know what I mean? It's too late for me.
Starting point is 00:18:17 Save yourselves. Compounding interest is stronger than Tony Stark. Is he strong or does he need the machine? Iron Man, he's got that robot. The robots again. I bet you're fucking Iron Man, he's got that robot. The robots again. I bet you fucking Iron Man not taking his own bins out. You know what I'm saying? Maybe he does but he puts the suit on and you know how he goes through that phase where he's just like wearing the suit
Starting point is 00:18:34 and drinking and shit in one of the movies? No, not that familiar. Okay. Yeah. But that's okay. He has like a bad voice. No, because when he's like being a dick. Oh, no, she always has to turn up and be like,
Starting point is 00:18:44 oh, stop being a dickhead. Oh, nice. Yeah. Anyway, yeah, compounding interest. If I'd known about that years ago, I mean, I'd be just on my yacht now. Well, the thing about knowing about compounding interest is you have to then like put the money in the savings account. Yeah, but I didn't even know it to not do it, you know?
Starting point is 00:19:04 So the other night I was like, if I put $10 in the savings account. Yeah, but I didn't even know it to not do it, you know. So the other night I was like if I put $10 into a savings account each week for Mabel, what will that be worth when she's older? That's amazing. Yeah, it turns out with the price of because I was like maybe then when she's 25 like that's a house deposit. No. Not even close. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Not even close because I was like oh, I've got this great scheme. Yeah. I put $10 away a week. I've got this great idea. Savings account. And in 25 years, you'll have a savings account, like a house deposit, not in this town, not in this country. No way, nah.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Not with a bloody interest rate to what they are now. Because he lives. Anyway, yeah, so I didn't think that, I didn't know anything about taxes, but I know about Pythagoras. Costs 10. Oh, that was fucked. That's shit. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:19:48 What the? Do you know what I spent? Can you explain the difference between cos-tan and sine? No. I'm actually just fucking going to cut out right now. Yeah, because I love how you're like, I'll have to remember. I'm like, no. But like, why do I learn that?
Starting point is 00:20:01 Exactly. And you don't learn about points. That should be something you learn about at uni. If you chose to study maths. If it's then pertinent to what you're doing, then that's when you should learn it. Maths needs a fucking sort out, a rejig. Yeah, it's not.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Yeah. Anyway, yeah, taxes. I also would have really liked to understand, like, how to effectively go through an airport. What do you mean? Because. Like efficiently? Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:30 But I feel like there's all these things that you don't really learn how to like do practically. Like what? Well, you know when you go through the airport and one day it's like, take your shoes off. Then you go to come home and they're like, no, what are you doing, you fucking idiot? Leave your shoes on.
Starting point is 00:20:45 But take your laptop out of your bag. But take your laptop out of your bag. Then you go back through again and they go, what are you doing? No. Leave your laptop in your bag, you fucking cockhead. I will say that's not your fault. That's not your school's fault. That is airports need to talk to other airports and get their fucking story straight.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Okay. Well, then maybe we need to learn how to run airports at school. Yeah. Everybody knew that. There's an elective in psychology. We'd all be on the same limit. But we're all cooked, so don't worry about that one. I just like.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Where's the elective on airports? It makes you just feel like the biggest doofus. Is that. You're like going through and you're like, oh, well, you feel like you need to be like, the last airport I went through, you had to take your bag out. Well, sorry. When I was in Miami, I didn't have to take off my leather boots.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Yeah, oh, sorry, I had to take my shoes off at LAX, but you don't have to do it here. But you just feel like you want to be like, I'm efficient, I promise. This is just a different airport. Are you blaming the airports for that time we went through security together and you had scissors? The scissors? No, the scissors were my fault.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Okay, you got that. That's fine. And do you blame the airports for putting John Howard, former Prime Minister, in front of you and you yelling in his face? I did yell at him by accident. Yeah, no, that was my fault. But had I learned that at school, maybe more effectively could have moved through the airport.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Actually, no. It was because of you studied politics and history at school that you were able to stand a foot away from him and go, you're John Howard. I just wanted. And he goes, yeah, I know. I've been him the whole time. I just couldn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Thanks for work choices, you know. Thanks for the GST. Here's 10% of this. Yeah. Then he coughed and I went, nice one. I've got to love to see it from a taffy here. Now, I didn't know this was not mild enough for mild revenge. Oh.
Starting point is 00:22:27 It didn't. So then isn't it you loved it If it's more harsh than that It didn't quite fit as a confession But I do, I love to see it So hear me out We'll see I'm a black female in a white male Dominated industry So I sort of always felt a bit tricky
Starting point is 00:22:43 But somehow I landed my dream job as an art producer at an advertising agency in London whoa you do love to say that that's huge everything was great except for the fact my manager was a bit of a Carly Conti oh she'd take credit for all my good work but then blame me and point out any of my mistakes to make sure everyone knew that, you know, just to let everyone know that, like, she was above me and I was below her. Just, you know, one of those. Real power tripper.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Yeah, real power tripper. A round of redundancies was announced before Christmas. Just gone. Oh, please tell me that that bitch got it. But the thing is. Not our friend. No, no. But that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:23:24 They often go to the managers and go, oh, look, your teams have to go from six to four. Who do you think we can do without? Yeah. And because Carla Conti was a Carla Conti. And you know those bosses that have like favorites. Yeah. So the tarpa goes, the writing's on the wall here.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Sorry, I just looked at our team. Tony has just thrown one of the great guest airs to James and Sophie that you'll ever see. Neither of us. If we had to go from four to three, Tony. I think I'm out. So they go, the manager's got her favourites. She clearly hates me.
Starting point is 00:23:59 Like if the manager has to put their recommendations, like I'm not going to be on that list. And you just go like, I've just got to brace myself. Well, the tarpa said the writing was on the wall, so I decided to shoot my shot. I told the CEO, the big, big, big boss, I said, hey, here's all the extra money I've brought in. And because of my nows in production,
Starting point is 00:24:22 I've actually been able to save money here, here, here, and here and still get the same results. My manager a bit of a carla conti she doesn't like me i feel like she's gonna put my name forward but i just wanted you to know that i'm actually killing it and so that's my i've said my piece like wow if you're gonna find me you were already gonna do it or make me redundant like i just want to let you know that i'm actually just dominating shit nice. Nice one. The CEO goes, thanks for letting me know. Like, it's obviously a tough time for the business.
Starting point is 00:24:49 We have to reduce headcount. Fair. I know it's stressful, but try and enjoy your Christmas break and we'll, you know, it will be what will be after the Christmas break and we'll see how it goes. When I came back from the Christmas break, I found out that only one person from our team was going to be made redundant.
Starting point is 00:25:07 No. And it was the manager. Yeah, if I can cop that. Psych of them apples. I saw the CEO in the lift later in the day. I thought you were going to say, I saw the manager with the box of stuff with the plant in it and stuff, you know, like that classic. I think they were told during the Christmas break, just don't come back.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Don't come back, sweetheart. Oh, I mean, that is. It's fucked. That's fucked. She shouldn't have been a Carla Conti in the first place. But like, yeah, taking credit for someone else's work, she obviously wasn't actually like attributing to the business. I saw the CEO in the lift later in the day,
Starting point is 00:25:41 but the lift had other people in it. So we couldn't like really talk about it because it's like a delicate matter. Very private. But the CEO just like gave me a wink. Goes to show, back yourself in. Yep. Fuck yeah. Then the other people got out of the lift and the CEO like kind of just leans in.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Like sort of, it feels like the final scene of a movie. It does. Yeah. I feel like the credits are about to roll. Yeah. And she leans in and goes, you weren't the only one who thought she was a bit of scene of a movie. It does, yeah. I feel like the credits are about to roll. Yeah. And she leans in and goes, you weren't the only one who thought she was a bit of a c***. And walked off.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Don't you love to see that? You do love to see that. I've never seen Tony's mouth open so wide in the last 15 minutes. Yeah, it doesn't normally have to open that wide. Except for when I'm having a deep fried Kransky. Should we do that today? No, we're having Red Rooster. Oh, yum.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Hot. Great. Amazing. Don't you love to see that? You love to see that. And it just validates you, because you kind of gaslight yourself into being like, maybe it's not them. Maybe I'm the problem.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Well, the manager was trying to make her think that she was the problem. Well, yeah, because that's what Carla Contis do. We've all had bad managers that gaslit us into thinking that we were the problem. Yes, we have Tony Lodge, haven't we? We have done that. We have done that.
Starting point is 00:26:54 But that's amazing. You love to see that. That's awesome. You do love to see that. You do love to see that. Oh, I don't know if I can top that, but this is pretty good. Can I just, a private question? Private question.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Like off-air chat. Off-air chat. Do you agree that that wasn't a mild revenge or a it was in the right place? I think you fit it in perfectly. Okay, great. Yeah. And I think that it was in the right spot as well. And I think it was a good story. Can you just keep that in mind for my performance review?
Starting point is 00:27:19 We'll see. You taking credit for someone else's work? Did someone else send that in? Yeah, and then Sophie actually sent it to me and said, this is a good one. So I won't. I'll actually say. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:27:29 So we're actually, unfortunately, guys going from four to three. And no. No, I was literally just about to say credit for Sophie's work. And that wouldn't be in the spirit of the, you'll have to see it. Of this, yeah. Okay, well, well done, Sophie. Do you agree with everything that I just said? Don't gaslight her into...
Starting point is 00:27:47 Is there a job open? We'll ask our tarp open. They need a new manager, I believe. Someone's just been let go. Advertising in London, yeah. My love to see it is, again, hard to top that story because it's phenomenal. Yeah, beat that, go on.
Starting point is 00:28:01 No, no, no, this is great and we love to see tarpers rising up. I know it's actually similar areas. Rise up. Oh, no, no. This is great. And we love to see tapas rising up. I know. It's actually similar areas. Rise up. Oh, Australian Idol top 12. Yeah. Very first year. Season one of Australian Idol.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Yeah. Amazing. Very good. Anyway, Jim Hoyland sent this through on Patreon as a DM. I reply to all the messages in Patreon, so I see everything in there. After a few months of thinking about it, Jim says, I text my friend jen who's also a tarpa and asked if she wanted to start a podcast with me after working really

We are so excited, Jim says, and doing our happy dances over here and can't wait to see what the future holds. Fuck yeah. Thanks for being so fantastic and so inspirational.
Starting point is 00:29:09 But Jim, like you're the ones doing it, Jim and Jen. Did he use the term start the fucking blog? He may have. I've edited this down a little bit. Okay, great. A bit chatty, was he? A bit editorial. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:29:20 A bit lengthy. Jim and I were actually chatting and then he shared this. So there'd been a little bit of back and front. If you want to get a start. Back and front. Back and forth, obviously, no. A bit lengthy. Jim and I were actually chatting and then he shared this. So there'd been a little bit of back and front. If you want to get a start. Back and front. Back and forth, obviously, is what I meant. That sounded like a physical. You are rattled that he's coming from your spot.
