Welcome to the show, everyone. I'm not going to say what this person's last name is, because, you know, privacy.
Oh, okay.
But this Becky we're about to call in the UK has the exact same name as the Becky I dated who was a British backpacker and got deported.
So, I wonder...
So it might be the same one?
I don't know.
What are the chances, you know?
What a twist.
Hello? Hello?
Becky.
Hi.
It's Tony and Ryan.
How are you doing?
Hey, Becky.
Hey, hey, hey.
How's it going?
We're really good.
Did you sleep with Ryan?
Okay, great.
I did.
No such thing.
Okay, because someone with the exact same name as you,
I dated and she was a British backpacker and then she got deported.
So I just, you're not that same Becky?
No, definitely not me.
Okay, great.
Good, good.
Wow, she was really quick to clear that up.
And almost proud to say no.
Yeah, whoa, no way.
No, fuck no.
No way.
Well, I know you don't want to sleep with him, Becky,
but will you approve our podcast?
I will absolutely approve the podcast.
Yay!
We'll take it.
That's fine.
Hey, it's Becky from Plymouth and I approve this podcast.
Did you say and pronounce it Plymouth?
Yeah, Plymouth.
Did you say Plymouth?
I reckon I've said Plymouth on this podcast before.
You have.
Yeah, go ahead.
mouth on this podcast before? You have. Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. Thanks for joining us. My name is Ryan, the vice captain of the ship, our queen over here, Tony Lodge. Hello.
It's a pleasure to be here today. It's a pleasure to be here.
Welcome to the beginning of another Tony and Ryan week. Yeah. It's a Monday or Sunday night or whatever. In fact, you know, the more specific we try to be about days,
the more trouble we get in. Happy day. Happy day.
Hey, have you ever been in a situation where... I like that singing.
Do you? No.
But I liked that you put yourself out on a limb.
And now I've learned that I should not do that.
Okay.
Because I'm being judged.
Look at your face and tell me you're not judging me.
I would never judge you.
I said I liked it.
I've thought I've done you, Tony, a massive favour.
And I wonder if anyone else has been in a situation
where you're like, oh, like I meant well,
like I wanted to do you a favour.
What did you do?
Coming up in this episode, you'll understand where I'm coming from.
What did you do?
But I've probably set...
What did you do?
I've probably set you up for something you might not want to be a part of.
What? And I just want everyone to appreciate... Right, no, this is actually not want to be a part of. What?
And I just want everyone to appreciate.
No, this is actually not even a joke.
What did you do?
We've all been in a situation where we meant well,
but it just didn't work out maybe the way we planned.
Flapped Tony's started already.
Yeah, okay.
So every couple of weeks we do a segment called Flapped Tony
because there's two kinds of people in this world.
There's people who are like, just go with the flow.
What will be will be.
It'll all be good.
Or there are people who like to be organised.
They know what's going on.
They don't want any mystery or question marks in their life.
And for 2022, I said that I would be the perfect mix of both.
I said that I would be chill and laid back but still organised,
still respectful and still like on time and stuff.
But I wouldn't be so held to the standards that maybe I have had in the past.
And do you feel since you came back from a couple of days' break over Christmas
that you've kind of gone back into your old ways?
I mean, it's July now.
Yeah, you're way out.
You're back to being flappable.
No, I think that I'm still pretty.
Exhibit A, when I said I've got some possibly bad news that sent you.
Oh, okay.
Well, you just said you fucking roped me into something.
I don't even know what it is.
Welcome to Flapped Tony.
People have sent through their things.
All right, let me take a moment to just chill out.
I think you might empathise with this person, actually.
Have you noticed how everyone's going to Europe
right now? Oh, yes.
Have you seen that meme? And it's like, can everyone
stop going to Europe? I have to work.
Yeah, that's so true.
Cindy is going to France
next week. Hi, Cindy. Next week?
Yeah. So she's
meeting a bunch of business associates
who must be for work. That sounds
like a lie.
Business associates. Well, I don't know That sounds like a lie. Business associates.
Well, I don't know if it's like employees or like business partners or whatever.
So the word associates.
Okay.
But as you can imagine, if you're going to France for work, you're like,
oh, can I take annual leave for a week after and I'll like, you know,
while I'm over there.
Oh, yeah.
So she's also going to see some friends and family when she's there.
Cindy says, I'm flapped.
Not knowing if I should shake hands, kiss one cheek, kiss two cheeks,
high five, bow.
What is the protocol?
Because you know how like when you, the stereotype of France
is you kiss both cheeks because they're business associates.
There's a big thing in business of like the cultural norms.
Like when you go to Japan, you don't talk about business
for the first 10 minutes.
You like bond and talk about family and then you sit down
to business and like there's all these processes.
So she's going to France for business and she's like,
I don't want to like pash some guy on the cheek if that's not cool,
but I feel like I've seen enough movies that that's
like a French thing.
Okay.
What I've learned in my life, I've got 28 years of anecdotal
proof that going from what happens on a movie is not always
the best way to go about it.
Cindy then hits caps lock and says,
I'm not cultured, I don't want them to think I'm rude.
Help me.
Fuck.
Oh, my God.
I actually don't know.
What did you do when you went to Japan all those times?
Did you research heavily?
No.
What, did Japan think you're rude because you didn't do what?
But we had friends there.
Right.
And we weren't meeting with business people.
So it was like as soon as we landed, we saw all our friends
and we kind of learnt like, oh, here's the right way to like ask
for something or, you know, so that's such a cheat code
and you can't even Google it because who knows what will come up on Google.
Oh, my God, I've got an idea.
Yeah.
In today's episode thread, if you know, have you done business in France?
Can you tell us?
We can help Cindy.
It's good.
This is problem solving.
This is good, right?
Yeah, and I like that you're planning instead of stressing.
This is good.
I like this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So if anybody knows what the goal, and don't stitch her up.
Don't say, oh, yeah, definitely stick a tongue in someone's ear.
That's what we do in business in France.
Oh, I think I told you last Thursday I was at Channel 7
and usually I'd get there 15, 20 minutes early,
but they said the studio you use, someone's using it right before you.
So I thought, oh, I'm not going to get there early
because I won't be able to.
I can't get in there, yeah.
And you wouldn't get there early anyway.
I rocked up 80 seconds before I was live on TV.
They called me and said, you're on after this ad break.
I was like, cool, I've just turned into the street.
I have been a radio producer.
I know how stressful the environment is when you're going live and you're you know
trying to make sure that everything's good or that you've got a caller or that you've got the
audio you need or that the host has the story we've got a guest on after this ad break are they here
nah like not only is that unnecessary stress for you why wouldn't you just get stressed
no no no but i'm saying like not only is it unnecessary, like,
pressure to put on a situation,
it's unfair on the people that, like, you're working with.
What time's my cross?
10.15?
I will be there.
Ready to go at 10.15.
No, that's so shit.
No, I hate that so much.
They couldn't get me set up because there was someone else in there.
But, like, why wouldn't you just, like, take pressure off the situation
by just getting there a bit early?
Like, yeah, you can't get in there, but, like.
Wait at the lobby?
Yes.
And keep in mind they're all in Sydney, the producers.
I was in the Melbourne studio, so I was just there by myself.
So they didn't even know whether you were there or not?
No.
Oh, my God.
That just makes me so angry.
I can't actually even articulate it.
I really want to not be flapped.
But the thing is is that I would never do something
that would then put pressure on somebody else
or I would like to avoid it at all costs.
Oh, it was Emily.
You know her.
She was chill.
She was like, cool, 80 seconds, yeah.
Just jump in the seat, line yourself up, ready to go.
She was fine.
I'd never have you on again if I was her.
If I was that producer, I was like, fuck,
he just always puts so much pressure.
I don't know.
He, like, runs the gauntlet every time.
I'd be like, we're not fucking having him in again.
Well, I was on two days after that happened.
We're chill.
I'll let Emily know that that's not how you do business.
She listens to the pod, though.
Shout out to Emily.
Good.
Thanks, Emily.
Another M sent this to me on Twitter and says,
as soon as I read this, I heard the sound of Tony Lodge gagging.
So she's seen something on Twitter and went,
this would fuck Tony right up.
Oh, my God.
It's good to know I've got a brand.
Now, Tony, do you want a bucket?
Because you've said before I would vomit.
This is, to be honest, the reason I decided to do Flap Tony this week.
Another lady, Michelle, writes on Twitter.
I left my Invisalign retainer in the break room at work.
Would that, like if you'd left, you're taking something off to have a snack and left it,
would that kind of like?
Yeah, do you remember the other day in the car?
I like almost had a meltdown because I like misplaced my Invisalign in the car.
Yes.
So she left it in the break room.
How embarrassing.
So she runs back to get the Invisalign,
which she thinks she might have just left on the kitchen bench
in the staff kitchen.
When I get back to the kitchen, a co-worker is trying it on.
Oh!
Oh!
I thought you were going to say someone threw it out.
What the fuck?
They're like, oh, is that weird?
How does that work?
Do I just put it in?
How do I?
That is so fucked.
That is the most fucked thing I've ever heard.
It goes in your mouth.
Why on earth would you think that you could put that in your mouth
if it was somebody else's?
I feel like general rule, don't put other people's things
in your mouth unless it's, you know.
Unless it's what?
Unless that's the situation.
Like, oh, nice iPhone.
Like, what the fuck?
So what would you do in that situation?
Are you throwing it out?
Are you yelling at them?
Are you going straight back to the dentist and asking for a new tray?
I mean.
Do you know what?
I'd probably be really passive aggressive and I'd be like,
oh, I didn't know you were doing Invisalign as well to embarrass them.
That is fucking good.
Yep.
And then they'd be like, oh, obviously I have to throw the Invisalign as well to embarrass them. That is fucking cool. Yep. And then they'd be like, oh, obviously I have to throw
the Invisalign up.
Yeah.
And then they'd have to look me in the eye and say,
this is actually yours.
And then I'd be like, yeah, I know.
And then I'd be like, what the fuck?
And just gauge their reaction. But, yeah, I wouldn't use it again. I'd be like, what the fuck? And just gauge their reaction.
But, yeah, I wouldn't use it again.
I'd just move on to the next tray.
Like, you know how you like every two weeks you move on.
Put in water, put the suds on it, give it a scrub.
If it was your first day or two into a new tray,
you couldn't go to the next one.
It'd be way too painful.
And the thing is, sorry to get all Invisalign on everyone,
is that it's so specific for your teeth.
I don't know how someone else could actually put it in.
It wouldn't work.
No.
I watched this TikTok once of this girl who was like,
I haven't worn my retainer in four years and I'm going to put it on.
And she puts it on.
So it's obviously the right shape, but her teeth have moved.
She puts it on and it clicks in because it's almost right,
but it just fills with blood.
What?
Like one of her teeth obviously snapped or like moved or whatever
and the Invisalign just like filled with blood.
So that wouldn't happen if like you put my Invisalign on,
that wouldn't happen because it just wouldn't fit in your mouth.
I just don't know why you would pick up someone else's property
and put it in your mouth.
All right, now since you're not flapped.
I'm chill.
Yep.
Coming up next, I have done you what I thought was a favour.
Oh, my God.
You've put my Envy's line in your mouth, haven't you?
No.
Hey, it's Becky from Plymouth and you're listening to Tony and Ryan.
Yeah. and Ryan.
A massive shout out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon.

thank you so much Schmachel, Gemma O'Connor, Emily Wood,
Meredith Reed, Nye Watero, and Lucy Tom,
who is an Aussie in New York who's getting married.
Congratulations.
Yeah, very exciting stuff.
Whenever you think married in New York,
do you just imagine sex in the city?
Yeah.
And just also like just assume that it must be this like elegant,
like very luxe, chic, beautiful, fashiony wedding.
And also.
No pressure, Lucy.
Yeah, no pressure.
Lucy, though, if you'd like for us to come, we'd love to.
We'd love to come to New York.
And also a couple of weeks ago, as you would know, we announced that we're teaming up with
the Legends at Spotify.
Yes.
So from August 8th, you can listen to Tony and Ryan for free exclusive on Spotify.
Don't need a premium account.
Anyone can listen for free.
It's free.
It's free.
So get your chops up on the app.
Figure out how to use it because soon you will not be able
to hit play anywhere else.
That was cool sounding though, wasn't it?
Yeah, you sound very formal and authoritative.
Oh, thank you.
That gets you off as well, which I like.
Authoritative.
When I'm like, this is what I want.
You like that.
Yeah, because I don't want, oh, just whatever you want.
When you want to go for dinner, oh, that's fine.
I don't mind.
Yeah.
When you're like, this is what's going to happen tonight,
you go, ooh, fucking righto.
Oh, fuck.
We mean business tonight.
Yeah, we do.
Lock out.
A bit of feedback for a Monday.
Tony, did you have some feedback?
I do.
So last week I talked about the Candy Cow in Cooramup.
Oh, my fucking God.
And I was so excited and I had so many people reach out and say,
I love the Candy Cow.
I've been going there since I was a kid.
I'm also a WA girl.
So it's like this tiny little fudge candy and honeycomb shop
in the, like, bottom of WA.
Cowtown, Cooramup. Yeah, Cooramup. And I ordered some honeycomb shop in the, like, bottom of WA. Cowtown, Quorum Up.
Yeah, Quorum Up.
And I ordered some honeycomb.
Yes.
And.
I knew you had a present, but I didn't know.
Oh, this is fantastic.
I know.
It's really cute.
So I bought.
So they're famous for their honeycomb.
So I bought.
So it all comes from, like, each comes from a different type of tree.
Ah.
And so that's what makes it different.
So this is honeycomb from Cowtown.
Honeycomb from WA.
Australia's greatest sweet shop and candy factory is their slogan.
There's some honeycomb from a white gum, from a red gum,
from a merit and from a yate.
Red gum's personally my favourite.
Would you like to try some?
I don't know.
I've just opened the packet for you.
And we're not going to be those guys
that fucking eat on a podcast.
I was just about to say. I just want you to have a little taste.
This is a test for Tony because
A, she loves to share gifts
but B, she hates eating on a podcast.
Yeah, because I always feel guilty because
when I worked on Jason PJ, we used to eat on the
podcast all the time because we'd be like having our
breakfast and people would be like, if you eat on the
podcast,
I will rip my ears off.
Okay, Ryan's trying the red gum honeycomb from.
He stepped away from the microphone.
He stepped away.
I'm just narrating the process.
Oh, fuck me up.
Isn't it so good?
That is so good.
I know.
So I thought that I would share that with you. I bought a lot because it's actually really cheap
and they had like only one standard shipping price.
So I was like, fuck, I'll buy a heap.
Live your truth, yeah.
Yeah.
Don't you love when it's like $5 a pack or free shipping
if you spend $40 and you're like, wow.
Well, I guess I'm buying 600 fucking bags of honeycomb.
But, yeah, if anybody is interested in trying the greatest honeycomb
in the world, this is also not sponsored, by the way.
I paid for this, like, with my own money.
I bought it.
We've got nothing to do with them at all.
But maybe we could make a cute little video of you trying all of them
and I bought some fudge as well.
Yeah.
If I have to.
Yeah, if we have to do it.
I'll do it.
Well, thank you very much for doing that for me.
You're welcome.
Because I've done something for you. Oh, if we have to do it. I'll do it. Yeah. Well, thank you very much for doing that for me. You're welcome. Because I've done something for you.
Oh, fuck me.
Yep.
All right, last.
I just did this lovely thing for you.
I ordered the, you know, the shipping was like $17.
I said I'd make the video.
But it's actually, thank you.
Is it nice?
It's delicious.
It tastes like WA.
Honeycomb is one of those things that you don't eat that often,
but for me it's a real treat.
I love a crunchy.
I love a violet crumble.
When I used to go to get a Wendy's shake, I'd get the crunchy.
Oh, my God, the Wendy's shakes are so fucking good.
And I'd get a crunchy one where they had the crunchy bar
of honeycomb mixed up.
And once I was in this fancy hotel that had a buffet breakfast,
which is just in a hotel as well.
How good are the eggs at a hotel?
Like the scrambled eggs are literally just like fucking.
They're so fluffy.
It's like eating 60 orgasms.
It's as if gravity doesn't exist.
I'm surprised it goes on the plate.
It goes against the fucking law of physics,
the scrambled eggs in a fucking hotel buffet.
So one place I go to has like the toast bar and they've got like this,
you know, local jam made from local berries and stuff.
They've got this like house churned butter.
And then instead of having honey, they had the actual honeycomb blocks.
Oh, yeah.
Where you just like.
Scoop off a bit.
Oh.
Oh, my God.
I do.
So this all came up.
Is anyone turned on right now?
This all.
Yeah, I always am.
But this actually came up because you said that you really like honeycomb.
Yeah.
And I have to admit something, that I did actually also buy milk chocolate
with, like, the offcuts of the honeycomb in it, but I ate it.
Here I was going, oh, yeah, bring it in.
Yeah, fuck, where's that?
Yeah, I ate it.
Yeah, because I thought I'll try a little bit of that, Ryan will love it, and then I ate it.
Okay, well, now I don't feel bad.
Oh, fuck off.
Last week, somehow, we got talking about the fact
that you would love to play AFL.
Ryan.
Do you remember?
Ryan.
Yes, I fucking remember. Oh, my God. Ryan. Do you remember? Yes, I fucking remember.
Oh, my God.
Ryan.
You're fucking joking me.
You are fucking joking me.
You're fucking, you actually must be pulling on my flaps.
There's no fucking way.
Ryan.
Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry. Ryan, oh my God. I'm so sorry.
Ryan, fuck.
I didn't even tell you
what happened to you. Oh my God.
Oh my, I'm so fucking
stressed. Ryan, you know that I said I loved
playing AFL? Yeah.
15 years ago.
How old are you? I'm now
28. Are you even 28?
Ryan, fuck off. I'm actually 28. Are you even 28? Run.
Fuck off.
I'm actually, I will leave the podcast.
All right, at least let me tell you. Can I call in sick?
Well, which one though?
Now.
Okay, sorry.
Fill everyone in.
Okay, sorry.
Well, okay.
Now, what were the reasons?
Don't fucking shake your head at me.
I was doing this for you.
No, you weren't.
You knew that I would hate this.
No, but this, you wait, wait till, because I think,
I think I've found, now I'm stressed.
Sorry.
You just bought me this honeycomb.
It was delicious.
Yeah.
I wish I didn't eat all that chocolate now.
So what are the, and genuinely, like, you know,
going to have a kick sounds great,
but what would be the things that make you not want to do that?
Because I'm so unfit.
I've literally never been as unfit as I am now just
because I fucking work all the time.
It's been a really hectic time.
I eat too much honeycomb.
So you were saying, yeah,
I don't really feel like I'm in the best spot to be putting my best foot forward.
Absolutely.
And I don't want to, I think you might,
or maybe like being a burden on everyone else because I'm.
Yeah, I'm like you're only as strong as your weakest link.
Hello, weakest link.
So Jacqueline sends a message and goes.
Jacqueline, I really wish you hadn't.
Ryan, have you heard about the Renegade Pub Football League?
And I said, no.
She goes, it's happening in the inner north of Melbourne.
You should check it out.
Where do I live?
The inner north.
So because to be honest, like I get it.
I'd love to have a kick, but I'm like, oh, I'll hurt myself.
Yeah.
I don't, you know, these guys have been training all these years
and are in good shape.
I do get it.
Or they're like sports scientists during the day,
so you know that they're like real fit and they go to the gym.
Let me read out the Renegade Pub Football League's kind
of mission statement, for lack of a better word,
or like why they exist.
And sorry that I have, as you will find out,
possibly thrown you under the bus, but when you hear about the existence of this,
this actually makes me really proud of the city of Melbourne.
And it was almost like, not that I shed a tear.
You're fucking guilting me into this.
Not that I shed a tear.
But when I learned about this, I was like,
footy is great for the community.
It is great for Melbourne.
I'm so proud of our city.
Let me read this out.
Oh, my God.
Renegade Pub Football League.
Okay.
The Renegade Pub Football League is a not-for-profit community organisation
that operates a gender-inclusive Australian Rules Football League
in Melbourne's inner north.
We are a grassroots footy and community spirit and pride ourselves
on a safe and inclusive environment for anyone of any gender identity,
any sexual orientation, race, culture, religion or skill level to get involved.
The league consists of nine teams and they all play together
on the same day.
So it's like a bit of a round robin so you don't have to commit
to every week if you're like a full part of the league.
And every team is affiliated to a local pub or live music venue.
Oh, cool.
Game days consist of multiple teams, multiple games, family,
dog friendly, there's music, live bands in between the games, bars,
and all the money goes to charity from the barbecues
and selling beers and stuff, a part of the community engagement program,
which supports our community of gender inclusive and, you know,
people of different orientations and everyone's welcome.
That's so nice.
And apparently there is a big thing.
Remember Bend It Like Beckham?
Yeah.
Where the Indian lady, it's like not part of their culture
for girls to like go and get muddy, you know?
No, no, no, girls don't.
And so there's all these different reasons why football might not be
a thing that's possible in people's lives.
And this is a community that goes, no, tall, short,
whatever your background, if you've played before,
if you've never played before, we don't keep score.
There's no ladder.
We're just a bunch of people raising money doing good things.
That's really cool.
It's a non-competitive social league.
All our clubs value participation and team spirit
above individual ability and fitness.
So I then reach out to Jen and Kate.
Thanks, Jen and Kate.
They are from Old Bar, which is in Brunswick.
Yeah.
They're the home of the Old Bar Unicorns.
The Old Bar.
I like that.
Yeah, and they're the unicorns and they've got a very colourful rainbow jersey.
I was going to ask, do they have jerseys and stuff?
Yeah.
You are expected, Tony Lodge, to be at training.
Not a game, but training tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
Yeah.
I'm going to the footy tomorrow.
Oh, fuck.
This footy?
You're going to the AFL, aren't you?
All right, well, there's a few trainings they've got coming up.
Okay.
But there's also like the regular training and then there's like the-
Sorry, can I just say how sporty am I?
I can't go to AFL training because I'm going to the footy.
You're going to the actual AFL.
So now that we know this, have I thrown you under the bus
or are you feeling good about this now?
You absolutely have, but nothing good happens inside of your comfort zone.
Tony Lodge.
Yep, the magic happens outside.
Listen to you. Yep. You've changed. I love this Tony Lodge. Yep. The magic happens outside. Listen to you.
Yep.
You've changed.
I love this Tony Lodge.
Yep.
You know what?
I'm going to go.
Oh, it's all genders.
Why don't you come?
I will also be a part of this.
Oh, you're coming?
Yeah.
Oh!
I mean, I've got university tomorrow as well,
so that was my chance for tomorrow.
But you can't make it either.
But we'll go together and maybe we can be the two newest players
of the Old Bar Unicorns.
I actually love this.
And they play at Vic Park in Abbotsford down the road from you.
And like I said, all the teams play on the same day,
round robin, live bands and stuff.
So the training's on a Sunday?
If you want to go.
But I thought that might be a nice.
What day's the games?
The games are like every third or fourth Saturday, Arvo.
But I think the training is like optional and like I thought that might be a nice. What day is the games? The games are like every third or fourth Saturday, Arvo.
But I think the training is like optional and like I thought it may be an easier first step.
Yes, than a game.
Yeah.
Is that fair?
Yes.
Yep.
Cool.
Yep.
Oh, my God, yes.
That sounds so fun.
I'm so relieved because I honestly didn't want to throw you under the bus
but I realised as discussions progressed that I might be organising
something that you don't want to do.
Well, I mean, apologies for my earlier reaction.
It's not unlike you to go all in hard and then against something and then change your
mind.
Don't be a dick, Ryan.
Well, you're about to hear what I'm talking about, but go on, continue.
Well, what I was going to say is I thought you'd fucking sign me up for like a women's
league.
And I thought, because you're obviously very good friends with Daisy Pearce, who is a fantastic footballer.
One of the best of all time.
Yeah, you're going to play for the Melbourne Demons
in the AFLW next week.
No, no, no, obviously not for the AFLW,
but like she would obviously have connections with, you know.
I'm friends with Georgie Parker, who is also a footballer.
So I thought, you know, maybe you've pulled some strings
and you're going to maybe go to one of their trainings.
And I almost threw up.
I didn't want to throw you under the bus hard.
Yeah, because that's not okay.
But this sounds great.
Does it make sense now?
And I'm like, when I read about this league, I was sort of like,
how good's our city?
Oh, yeah, it does make you feel very patriotic about, like,
the inclusive nature of.
And all the, yeah, all the clubs are pubs in Brunswick, Collingwood, Northcote.
How cute.
Yeah, let's do that.
I'm fucking excited.
I wish I wasn't going to the footy tomorrow.
We'll let Patrick Cribs and the Carton Blues know that you can't make it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Give them a call.
I do have a little bit more feedback because last week we were chatting
about toilet lids.
Yep.
Have a quick listen.
Normal or nah?
Closing the toilet lid when you flush.
I f***ing hate people that do that.
Nah.
It f***s me right off.
I f***ing hate it.
Shona says, I always do it because that's what the lid is there for.
But my housemates think I'm the weird one.
Yeah.
And they let their poo particles spray around the bathroom with an open lid.
Is it functional?
Would you like to retract your...
I don't think I knew that the lid was functional.
Well, then why would it be there?
Just f***ing.
You know how stuff's just places?
How would you say the feedback has been online?
Everyone was like, can't believe you came in so hot
about something that, like, you think thought doesn't matter.
Snack Charmer says, imagine being that wrong and that loud about it.
You know what?
I, in the end of the video, I come back around and I said,
okay, well, like, I was wrong.
I didn't know that they had a purpose. This is actually a very interesting point that a lot of people talked
about. Obviously a lot of people were talking about the lid to put down or not. But then a
lot of people like Dr. Stephen. Hi, Dr. Stephen. I respect that Tony Lodge, who can, given a valid
reason, change their minds about a certain topic. And a lot of people like, usually in 2022,
minds about a certain topic. And a lot of people like, usually in 2022, people just dig their heels in. And that's why society is so hard to progress because they decided 10 years ago that they're
about this stance and given you information, it doesn't matter. What an uplifting, powerful moment.
Which is exactly what I meant.
I am often wrong and not
afraid to admit that.
And I think that that's a lost
art. And as a
footy player...
And as an athlete,
that's how we strive to continue and progress.
Yeah, exactly right. I film myself
to make myself better and that's exactly what I
was doing with that TikTok.
Mr 4567, and I reckon I now know why they don't have their name on TikTok.
Oh.
I flush the toilet while I'm still sitting on it.
Some would say I don't use the lid, but I would suggest that I do.
But I am the lid.
Yeah, anonymity is definitely a good choice for this friend. I am the lid. Yeah, anonymity is definitely a good choice for this friend.
I am the lid.
Okay.
Well, I guess you're plugging it up one way or the other.
Righto.
Yeah, God, and I thought I was wrong.
Nicola, I completely agree with first half of the video, Tony.
Oh, thank you, Nicola.
If I walk into a bathroom, says Nicola, and the lid's down,
I don't trust it.
Same.
There could be a dog in there or something.
A snake, an orangutan.
If I rock up and the lid's down, I don't know what's going to find it.
I don't trust it.
I don't trust people.
I don't care if it's functional. If the lid's down, I'm going to another stall.
Yep.
No, thank you, Nicola.
Maybe it is different, though, if you're in your own home
and you can probably trust the people that are there.
Well, if it's just you and your partner Torbs.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, I didn't leave a poop stew.
Would Torbs do it?
No.
Was he a clean?
Was he clean?
No, he's good.
No, no, no, he's good.
He's good.
There was just a pause there that made me.
Yeah, no, I don't remember.
Don't recall.
I believe the fifth.
What was that?
All right, we finish every episode with something you love to see.
What have you loved to see this week, Tana?
I loved, and I have to share this because it fucking made me piss.
I literally almost died when I saw this.
Mandy Robinson shared in our group yesterday this tweet,
and it is, I'll show you it.
It is this picture of a can of Coke with no, like,
ring pull thing on the lid.
Yeah, it's a smooth top.
And so it says, a can't of Coke instead of a can.
That's good. And I saw it and I literally almost died. a can't of Coke instead of a can.
That's good.
And I saw it and I literally almost died.
I thought that was so fucking funny.
And then what made it even funnier was that Monique DeRocha on the treadmill, she commented and said,
I don't get it, am I confused or stupid?
Monique DeRocha, you're both, mate.
And so I replied and said, so normally it would be a can of Coke.
Like, yes, you can, but it doesn't have a lid, so it's a can't.
I can't open.
And she said, okay, glad I'm understanding.
And Jared McQuade said, this is my favourite part of this,
was just Monique being like, hang on, I think it's funny,
but I don't know why.
I loved it.
I thought it was so funny.
The joy you're getting from Monique DeRocha figuring out something
in real time is the joy people of the podcast get listening
to you figuring out things in real time.
Is it?
Yeah, like when you figured out why the tooth fairy preferred it
in the kitchen, when you figured out why toilet lids exist,
why you figured out what soap is for.
See how much joy you bring to people?
I did actually get a lot of joy out of that.
So that's my love to see it then.
I've got two.
I don't have to do one tomorrow.
I love to see that as well.
Now, it's one of the coldest weeks we've ever had in Melbourne.
Last week was one of the hottest weeks the UK ever had.
This music festival was just destroyed in Australia because of floods.
It's a wild time.
Splendour in the grass.
They've called it splendour in the mud.
There's a bit of a real theme where Aussies are like, hey, UK,
it's hot here all the time, whatever.
But I'm not going to be that guy because I've been to London
and it was like 26.
The buildings just aren't designed for the heat.
No, they're not.
You can't compare one with the other.
So I'm not going down that track.
However, I would like to show you, Toni,
what happened on Sky News last week.
Because obviously the weather is the biggest story in London at the moment.
And I've got a grab of the weather.
There's two pictures.
There's like the lady talking on the right
and then there's another photo on the left.
So can you just describe what's happening on the right of screen?
What can you see there, the reporter?
So the reporter is holding this, like, giant thermometer.
Yeah.
So they kind of, because you know how there's always, like,
outside it's a bit hotter and.
Yeah, yeah.
So they're kind of like, oh, let's cross to the street.
Samantha's, you know, outside whatever train station.
Yeah.
What's the actual temp on the thermometer in your hand?
And so that's what's going on, which is kind of funny
because it's like a comically large thermometer.
It's huge.
Yeah, it's like bigger.
It's like two heads long. Yeah. And then you know how if you're reporting on, which is kind of funny because it's like a comically large thermometer. It's huge. Yeah, it's like bigger. It's like two heads long.
Yeah.
And then you know how if you're reporting on like a fire that like
on the small screen on the other, like there'll be a small shot
of like the fire burning in the corner?
What else have they got a live shot of on Sky News?
The sun.
Yeah, we know where the hot is coming from.
Like, we don't need context of that.
Where's the heat coming from?
Well, we cross live to the sun, and as you can see,
it's in the sky and burning brightly.
Ah, but the sun was unavailable to comment at this time.
What the...
We sent our reporter there, and this is what they had to say.
Oh!
It's a hurricane!
It's a hurricane!
It's a sun!
Fuck.
I mean...
Sky News, folks.
The sun is in the sky.
Yeah, wow.
So that's good.
They know their area.
Yeah, good.
Our producer's probably really proud of that.
But who have we got on today?
The fucking sun!
Who's causing it?
Get a live shot of them.
You mean the sun?
Oh, well, I guess I couldn't get on the meow.
Hey, tomorrow on the show, here's one if you're in a heat rave.
Things you can say.
Heat rave.
Heat rave.
Mate, imagine a heat rave right now. Heat wave. Things you can say. Heat rave. Heat rave. Mate, imagine a heat rave right now.
Heat wave.
Things you can say on a boat and also in the bedroom.
Love you, bye.
