Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Hello? Hello? Becky. Hi. It's Tony and Ryan. How are you doing? Hey, Becky. Hey, hey, hey. How's it going?
Starting point is 00:00:35 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?
Starting point is 00:00:50 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.
Starting point is 00:00:59 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?
Starting point is 00:01:17 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,
Starting point is 00:01:55 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.
Starting point is 00:02:14 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.
Starting point is 00:02:36 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?
Starting point is 00:02:49 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.
Starting point is 00:03:09 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.
Starting point is 00:03:35 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.
Starting point is 00:03:50 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.
Starting point is 00:04:08 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
Starting point is 00:04:23 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.
Starting point is 00:04:40 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.
Starting point is 00:04:57 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
Starting point is 00:05:16 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.
Starting point is 00:05:35 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.
Starting point is 00:05:46 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.
Starting point is 00:06:04 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.
Starting point is 00:06:16 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.
Starting point is 00:06:38 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.
Starting point is 00:07:01 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?
Starting point is 00:07:33 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?
Starting point is 00:07:51 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.
Starting point is 00:08:04 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.
Starting point is 00:08:18 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.
Starting point is 00:08:30 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.
Starting point is 00:08:43 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?
Starting point is 00:09:00 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.
Starting point is 00:09:26 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!
Starting point is 00:09:39 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.
Starting point is 00:09:58 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.
Starting point is 00:10:18 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?
Starting point is 00:10:36 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,
Starting point is 00:10:53 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.
Starting point is 00:11:15 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.
Starting point is 00:11:27 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
Starting point is 00:11:47 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.
Starting point is 00:12:06 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.

Yeah, very exciting stuff. Whenever you think married in New York, do you just imagine sex in the city? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:01 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

Starting point is 00:13:31 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.
Starting point is 00:13:48 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.
Starting point is 00:13:56 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.
Starting point is 00:14:09 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.
Starting point is 00:14:26 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.
Starting point is 00:14:36 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.
Starting point is 00:14:53 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.
Starting point is 00:15:08 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
Starting point is 00:15:24 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?
Starting point is 00:15:37 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
Starting point is 00:15:54 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
Starting point is 00:16:16 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.
Starting point is 00:16:26 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?
Starting point is 00:16:40 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.
Starting point is 00:16:55 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.
Starting point is 00:17:11 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.
Starting point is 00:17:33 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?
Starting point is 00:17:41 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?
Starting point is 00:18:01 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?
Starting point is 00:18:23 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.
Starting point is 00:18:40 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
Starting point is 00:18:56 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?
Starting point is 00:19:11 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.
Starting point is 00:19:28 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.
Starting point is 00:19:39 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.
Starting point is 00:19:57 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.
Starting point is 00:20:13 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?
Starting point is 00:20:30 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,
Starting point is 00:20:46 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.
Starting point is 00:21:13 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.
Starting point is 00:21:23 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.
Starting point is 00:21:46 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,
Starting point is 00:22:06 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.
Starting point is 00:22:25 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.
Starting point is 00:22:46 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.
Starting point is 00:23:07 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.
Starting point is 00:23:21 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?
Starting point is 00:23:35 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?
Starting point is 00:23:52 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.
Starting point is 00:24:09 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!
Starting point is 00:24:18 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,
Starting point is 00:24:34 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.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Yes, than a game. Yeah. Is that fair? Yes. Yep. Cool. Yep. Oh, my God, yes.
Starting point is 00:24:56 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.
Starting point is 00:25:13 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,
Starting point is 00:25:33 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.
Starting point is 00:25:51 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.
Starting point is 00:26:07 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.
Starting point is 00:26:21 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.
Starting point is 00:26:39 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?
Starting point is 00:26:58 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,
Starting point is 00:27:22 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.
Starting point is 00:28:04 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
Starting point is 00:28:21 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.
Starting point is 00:28:48 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,
Starting point is 00:29:08 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.
Starting point is 00:29:23 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?
Starting point is 00:29:36 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.
Starting point is 00:29:45 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,
Starting point is 00:30:06 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.
Starting point is 00:30:30 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.
Starting point is 00:30:56 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.
Starting point is 00:31:15 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.
Starting point is 00:31:30 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.
Starting point is 00:31:47 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.
Starting point is 00:32:02 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?
Starting point is 00:32:22 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.
Starting point is 00:32:36 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.
Starting point is 00:32:46 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?
Starting point is 00:33:14 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!
Starting point is 00:33:29 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.
Starting point is 00:33:42 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.
Starting point is 00:33:58 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.
