Hello?
Hello, is that Jodie?
Oh, my God, it is.
Jodie, it's Tony and Ryan calling from Australia.
We're wondering if you can approve the podcast.
Oh, my God, yeah, I can, definitely.
Yeah!
Oh, Jodie, thanks, Jodie!
Hi, it's Jodie from Essexx and I approve this podcast.
Happy International Women's Day.
Happy International Women's Day.
Now, Toni, as a representative of women,
is that the way to talk about the Spotify thing?
I guess so, yeah.
Actually, I mean, tell us what you're doing.
Well, so our friends at Spotify, they asked me to compile a playlist of podcasts
for International Women's Day.
So I got to pick my own theme.
So the theme for International Women's Day this year,
it's different every year, is gender equality today
for a sustainable tomorrow.
So talking about, yeah, ways that we can kind of fight
for equality and make sure that everyone's getting a say
for every person, all folk.
But my theme was our dream dinner guests.
Oh, good.
So I compiled a list of podcasts that interviewed and were
By?
By some women
that I would love to have dinner with.
So there's a few on there I think that people will like,
but you can go to Spotify today and check it out.
There's one with Lorde.
I love Lorde.
You do love Lorde.
One with Alison Roman, my favourite cook.
Yep.
Mindy Kaling, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Ilana Glazer
and Abbey Jacobson from Broad City.
A Shameless podcast with Zoe Foster-Blake.
A couple of lords and queens right there.
Yeah, and a kick pod from Steph Clare-Smith
and Laura Henshaw interviewing Alira Potter.
Who's Alira Potter?
So she's a body positivity kind of like spirit coach,
spiritual guide, like life coach kind of.
And, yeah, the podcast is all about self-love and confidence
and stuff like that.
And I love all that shit.
You're just curating playlists for Spotify.
I know.
Who am I?
And when you pitched Spotify and My Meal.
Yes.
Was that well received to the people at Spotify?
I don't think that Spotify know who I am apart from this.
Okay.
So you're like, I've got this idea for Spotify and My Meal
and they're like, hey, mate, just tell me the dinner guests.
We'll load it up for you.
Yeah, we asked for one thing.
How about we'll call you.
But Jason Derulo had pasta.
Yeah, I thought the corn would be great.
But, yeah, so it's pretty cool and check it out if you'd like to.
The links will be up on socials and stuff.
Lots of people find us from things you can say in the bedroom.
They do.
Today, things you can say in an Uber and also in the bedroom.
Have I told you about the most awkward Uber trip I've ever had?
I don't think so, but, I mean, whenever people say awkward Uber trip,
like the mind races because you think of all the possible things
that could have happened.
Did you get your dick out?
My dick stayed in.
I got in the Uber with Bridget, my now wife.
Your wife.
And the guy goes, oh, you're the first people I've ever driven in Uber.
It's my first day.
You're my first ride.
It's my first job.
And we went, oh.
That's nice.
Good on you, mate.
Yeah.
Earned a couple of bucks.
Yeah, just off to the Perth Entertainment Center where we were in WA.
And he goes, okay, so should I talk?
Oh.
And I mean the answer.
So you're setting the way that this guy drives Uber forever.
But also it's, I mean, just that question is so awkward
and he was so nervous and so awkward.
And I mean the answer is probably like me and my wife have been at work all day.
We're just catching up.
It's a 10-minute trip.
We're going out to a show or something.
And you probably want to talk to each other.
Yeah, so I didn't want to be like, don't talk to me.
But you also kind of wanted to be polite.
So I was like, oh, it's all good, mate.
Don't worry about it.
This is when I realised.
I don't know if I said don't worry about it.
I said, oh, whatever you like.
And I think he has pre-prepared some topics.
Yeah.
I would have.
And he's obviously thought to himself, everyone loves Top Gear.
I'll get a couple of Top Gear stories ready to go.
So I go, mate, whatever you like.
And he goes, oh, do you guys watch Top Gear?
And me and Bridget were like, nah.
And he's like, so my favourite episode and just like rattles off.
Like powered through even though you hadn't seen it.
So Bridget and I were just staring at each other as he was telling us this story.
And he was like building
up to this huge punchline and then we arrived and then like got out.
So he didn't even say the punchline?
No.
And he's like, and then you'll never guess how it ended.
Oh, here you go, guys.
Enjoy the night.
Oh, well, I mean, that's got nothing to do with him being an Uber driver
but a terrible storyteller.
I should have leaned back in.
What did happen at the end of that story?
Yeah, what did happen?
Well, actually, I'm like, oh, actually, I don't care.
Yeah, and then you slam the door instead.
Oh, my God, that's so fucking awkward.
Would you like me to talk?
How do you answer that question?
Well, I mean, my answer's always yes.
And I think that if someone said to me, oh, do you want me to talk,
I'd be like, yeah, mate, how are you going?
Like, how are you feeling about it?
Are you excited?
Yeah, so you would have driven the conversation.
Yeah.
If someone goes, oh, whatever, you just go, oh,
maybe I'll just keep my eyes on the road.
Yeah.
I wasn't trying to be rude.
I was trying to be supportive, but don't.
And if someone goes, no, I don't actually have never seen Top Gear,
don't continue with the Top Gear story.
Yeah, that's the thing.
Do you guys like Top Gear?
Nah.
So my favourite episode.
Do you guys like Watermelon?
Nah.
Well, here is some.
And here's Harry Styles.
Please eat it.
Are you all right?
Yeah, I just went to have a sip of water when you made that Harry Styles joke
and it was very funny.
Thank you.
Been busy today?
Busy night?
How fucking sick of that question do you reckon that Uber drivers get?
Busy night?
I'm at work, mate.
Been busy today?
And they go, yeah.
Yeah. Or nah. Or they go, oh, I just started. And then at work, mate. Oh, been busy today? And they go, yeah. Yeah.
Or nah.
Yeah.
Or they go, oh, I just started.
And then you go, oh, going to be a long one?
Oh, that's not one.
Is this going to cost much?
Surge pricing, I mean.
You never see it coming.
I'm hot and it's a Friday night.
Surge is on.
I actually ordered an XL.
Oh, my mistake.
Would a S slash M do the job?
S slash M, oh, mate.
It would, but that's not it.
Do you have a preferred tunnel?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, this one's one way.
It's a one-way street, mate.
That happened to you yesterday in Innova, didn't it?
Excuse me? That you were in In Uber, didn't it? Excuse me?
That you were in an Uber yesterday and the guy was like,
oh, just turn right here and you're like, no, you can't get through.
Oh, yeah, sorry.
Yeah, I thought you meant did someone try to...
Fuck you in an Uber.
Yeah, no.
We were in the Uber together.
And I'm pretty sure you didn't put one in me.
But, yeah, this guy was driving down a dead end and I was like,
oh, he probably need a turn here.
He was like, oh, I know a shortcut.
And then he just got to the dead end and he goes, oh, that's strange. It's actually fucking not. It's down a dead end and I was like, oh, he probably need a turn here. He was like, oh, I know a shortcut. And then he just got to the dead end.
He goes, oh, that's strange.
It's actually fucking not.
It's been a dead end for 10 years.
And literally the sign back there said no through, right?
Yeah, he's like, oh, no way.
I'm like, well, you probably don't.
And I had to pay for that.
Oh.
You know?
Don't you fucking hate that?
I hate that.
I hate that.
We've been riding around for a while.
Are you close to the destination or are we going to finish soon
or do I just keep going for a bit?
Am I in the right areas?
I mean, the good thing about an Uber is you can follow on the map.
Wouldn't that be handy?
You need the instructions sometimes.
She doesn't seem to be.
Oh, she's still a block away.
I'm down there.
Words you don't want to hear in the bedroom.
I don't think you're all going to fit in here together.
How many times have you had to say that?
Not in an Uber.
Less than five.
I can't count that high.
Can I give you the tip?
5%, 10%?
Custom?
Custom.
I like that.
Could we turn the radio on or something?
I actually enjoy being driven by a stranger.
There, I said it.
I like it when you know their name at least.
Oh, you've gone downtown, huh?
Huh?
Oh, you're going downtown, huh?
Did you start singing?
Oh, we'll be singing.
Do you think we'll be able to do multiple stops?
Like a bathroom break?
Hmm.
Or do you need to pick some other people?
Oh, can you please slow down?
I want to get there in one piece.
Do you, though?
Nah, snap it, nah.
It's so good that you can get in the front or the back.
Thanks for the ride.
Oh, no, there's been a little accident.
In a prang.
Hey, I know this probably isn't your preferred way to spend a Friday night,
but $10 is $10, am I right?
This is my preferred way.
Should we stop for fuel?
Yes.
I've been going hammer and song for ages.
Tank's almost empty.
Do you need to fill this thing up?
Does it just keep going?
Oh, okay.
Sorry, do you mind if I take a quick call?
How offensive.
Oh.
Okay, if the phone rings during, what do you do?
Because you're not the kind of person that likes to miss a call or not reply instantly to an email.
It's not testing Tony today, but what?
It depends who it is.
Hang on.
As in who you're in the...
No, no, no, no.
Who's calling?
But that means...
To know who's calling, it means you've looked.
Well, like... It depends on the situation.
But normally, no, it can wait.
It can wait.
It can 100% wait.
But you look to see who it is.
Well, normally my phone is, like, on the bedside table,
like, playing music or...
Oh, so the music cuts out and the phone starts ringing.
Yeah, and you kind of are like, ah!
That's a buzzkill.
Yeah.
Buzzkill.
Need new batteries.
Can't say that in an Uber, though.
So have you ever answered the phone during?
No.
Lies.
Why did you have to think about that?
No, because I haven't answered the phone during.
Your face said, let me think if I should admit to something, and you decided, because I haven't answered the phone during. Your face said, let me think if I should admit to something,
and you decided no.
I've never answered the phone during.
Have you replied to texts?
But.
Emails?
Torb's baby has been on the phone and, yeah.
Who was he on the phone to?
I can't remember.
Yes, you can.
I can't remember.
Was it like a business call, a work call?
His current workplace?
No.
No, no, no, no, no.
Anyway, things you could say in the bedroom and also in an Uber.
What?
It's very interesting.
You can't tell me that you haven't done that as well.
You're right, I can't.
Who was yours on the phone to?
Was it me?
You've had sex while you were on the phone to me.
Are you serious?
No, of course not.
Are you fucking serious?
No, no, no.
No, just tell me.
Did you actually?
What was that word I said before?
No. I'd be too... no, no. No, just tell me. No, no, no. Did you actually? What was that word I said before? No.
I'd be too...
Placid.
No.
Did you actually?
No.
You know that time when you called and I was like,
obviously out of breath because I was at the gym?
Do I look like a guy who goes to the gym?
You know what I'm saying?
You'll figure that out.
Why did you answer the phone? Or why did I'm saying? You'll figure that out.
Why did you answer the phone?
Or why did you then call me?
You normally call me.
So you came in your life and then called me.
That's very strong language.
Language.
We're going to have to talk about this later.
Not to rush you, but I'm kind of in a hurry.
Make it quick, mate.
Seriously, saying that to a guy is just music to his ears.
Hey, hey, you've got no one to impress you, mate.
I've got a place to be.
Let's just fucking get this done.
Yeah, good meeting is a quick meeting.
It's actually hot if you say it in the right way.
Like what?
What's like,
do you reckon we've got time?
Just let's.
Yeah, I see.
I see.
Like, let's fit this in rather than can we get it over
and done with.
Nice to meet you.
Front of the back.
You know, consent,
you've got to ask.
Yeah, you do.
I just don't think
that I want that to be the first question
that's ever asked.
Oh, thank you so much.
Five stars.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Got to see you, Sy.
We've talked about ratings on Tinder before, haven't we?
Yes.
Yeah.
It's a good system, though, I think.
I do like that system. Do you think there would be,
because you know how some Uber drivers are like,
oh, can I offer you a water? They try and go
above and beyond to get the good rating.
Maybe a mint or something, yep.
Yeah.
Would you like a mint?
God,
that would make you feel so self-conscious, hey?
Do you think, I think this is an episode of Black Mirror
where everyone gets rated and judged on every interaction they have.
And so people are, like, going above and beyond because,
heaven forbid, they got, like, a bad rating and everyone would know
that they're only a 4.2 and not a 5.
Oh.
It happens on an episode of Community as well.
Really?
It's called Meow Meow Beans and it's, like, an app and they all...
There's an episode called Meow Meow Beans.
On Community. How did I not know about this? Yeah, and it's, like, and they all. There's an episode called Meow Meow Beans. On community.
How did I not know about this?
Yeah, and it's like they all grade each other and like the fives rule the school
and the ones are like socio, like lepers.
Yeah, lepers.
Do you know I used to drive an Uber?
Really?
When I was in Canberra.
Did you?
Yeah.
To get stories?
I thought to get stories, but I also had this idea of like filming in the Uber.
Oh, like that guy that's like big on TikTok.
Yeah.
Well, he was a YouTuber before TikTok and that was like a great channel.
And I'm like, this is hilarious.
This is great.
I had like a few different ideas, but the legalities and logistics, it took me like
three months to get approved because you need to get your car checked and this and the different
license.
Yeah.
And I did it twice. And then I felt weird about filming people that didn't know they were being filmed. three months to get approved because you need to get your car checked and this and that. Yeah, it's like a big thing.
And I did it twice and then I felt weird about filming people that didn't know they were being filmed, obviously.
We can't.
And so then you're like, oh, I'm going to tell them,
but a part of it was like the surprise.
And as soon as you're filming someone.
They change.
Yeah, and so it didn't quite work.
But I did a few trips just to, like, feel it out.
How did you like it?
It was fine.
See, I think I'd really like it because I love to chat.
Oh.
And people don't like that.
No.
Yeah.
So, I mean, good for you though.
But that's why I would like it.
And like whenever I've gotten in an Uber and had like a great combo,
I'm always like, oh, it sucks because obviously the people
that are driving are like me, love to chat,
and there's not that many people that are like that
that would be jumping in their Uber.
Probably not.
Like, which sucks.
So I was doing this in Canberra, right?
Oh.
So there's three fucking people.
Excuse me?
Isn't there like three people in Canberra?
No, there's like half a million.
Is there?
Yeah.
Oh.
Canberra's massive and a great place and I will not hear you talk poorly about it.
Okay.
So there's like this, Duntroon is like the military college.
Oh.
Because, you know, the Department of Defence,
like a lot of departments of whatever, it's the capital of Australia.
Yeah.
So.
Government shit.
I get a call.
Yep.
Oh, there's a ride.
A call?
What are you, a fucking pizza delivery guy?
It beeps.
It beeps.
And you go, oh, cool.
It's not a call.
8am.
I've got to pick this lady up from the military college.
So I picked her up and she walks out in her dress
and, like, heels in her hand, jumps in.
And I was like, oh, how are you going?
And she just laughed, and she was like,
oh, just spent the night at the military college.
And I was like, oh, yeah, good times have by all.
Where are we going?
She's like, oh, I go to Canberra University.
I live on campus.
Can you just take me back to the other college?
So I drive her over, drop her off, and then as soon as you drop off the uber person it finds the closest next ride yeah and the closest next ride was at the university
of canberra um so it was like 50 meters away i was like oh perfect there's another trip and it's
this bloke that just stumbled out of the dorm and i was like oh where's where to look to the happening
back to the mill and i reckon i spent the whole morning taking blokes back to the military college
and then getting girls from the military college
and taking them back to the University of Canberra.
And I was like, what happened last night?
Luckily, there is more than three people there.
Hi, it's Toby from Essex and you're listening to Tony and Ryan.
As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors.
Like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause, causing the risk of heart disease to go up.
Know your risks. Visit heartandstroke.ca A big shout-out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon.
Sarah Young, Alana Frizzle, Melanie Pham and Anna Banana.
And here I was thinking Frizzle was the best last name out of the group. It might be Fritzel or something, but Anna Banana. And here I was thinking Frizzle was the best last name out of the group.
It might be Frizzle or something.
But Anna Banana.
But I feel really upset for Alana because obviously this is like a name that.
Alana Banana.
Like a nickname.
Alana Banana.
Yeah.
That's too good.
No, no, no, no.
Because it's obviously a nickname, but it's Anna, not Alana.
Oh, that's a shame.
In an American accent, it would be like Anna Banana,
but in an Australian accent, it's Anna Banana
because that's how we say banana.
Yesterday you said you weren't good at accents.
You've nailed that.
Oh, thank you.
Anna Banana?
Yeah.
So I feel really bad because I would assume that.
So when we say it, it doesn't sound as cool?
No, because it's like... And a banana.
And a banana. And a banana. Oh, what?
You're having a sandwich and a banana.
Anyway, a big thank you to our champion
tapas. That's just a few. Your boyfriend
and a banana.
A zucchini and a banana.
Anyway.
What do you want in your smoothie?
Blueberries anna banana.
I mean, it's the same joke, isn't it?
I could tell it 57 times.
Okay, go again.
I mean, it wouldn't be in my, you know, style to repeat a joke.
Go again.
No, you're judging me now.
How do you make a... No. You're judging me now. How do you make a...
No.
All right.
So a little while ago, well, I mean,
everybody at the moment is playing Wordle.
Yep.
The New York Times game.
Well, they just bought it.
This one bloke made it for his wife.
It's so cute.
Yeah, it's actually so fucking sweet.
I didn't realise that he made it for his wife though.
And then sold it to the New York Times.
How much money did he make?
I believe it was a bit over a million.
Like it was seven figures.
That's a lot of fucking money, eh?
For an app you made last year, three months ago.
And that would set you up forever.
Like that is like done deal.
Absolutely.
Fuck.
Anyway, so it's been going around on the internet for like a while.
So it was popular before New York Times bought it.
Did you get in?
No.
No.
In fact, I actually posted an angry Instagram story about it
because people were sharing the, you know how people have been sharing
like their word or score?
Yeah.
And it's like the white boxes with the green box.
Especially on Twitter.
Yeah.
My whole feed.
I'm like, what is this thing?
What is this fucking thing?
So I saw people
sharing the boxes on Facebook
and Twitter and whatever and on Instagram
as well. And it was pissing you off. And I was fucked
off because... Did you have FOMO? Were you getting angry because you
weren't part of the cool crowd? No, I was angry because I
didn't know what it was. So yes.
Oh yeah, then I guess.
All these people are having fun
without me. What is it? I don't understand.
Why aren't I involved? Did someone invite me?
What should I wear?
I hate being the one that doesn't get it.
Like, I hate it.
Anyway, and then I got all these messages, people being like,
it's Wordle, don't do it, it's so addictive.
And they only post one a day.
So you can't binge it?
No.
So you can only play it once and then it says new one tomorrow.
You can't even play yesterdays again, I don't think.
Really?
Yeah, so you can only do one at a time.
That's very different to most games because they want to hook you
in for hours and...
But this kind of, yeah, I think it's a really cool concept, though,
of only getting one and kind of like delayed gratification,
like you have to wait again until tomorrow.
So do you find out your score straight away, though?
Yeah, because it's because there's like six rows and it could be any five-letter word
in the world.
So it sounds like for someone who didn't get in originally,
you're starting to know a little bit more about it.
Well, so my friend Jane messaged me last week and she was like,
I'm into Wordle.
And I messaged back.
I hate you.
And I messaged back and I was like, you would be.
Because I was just like, you would.
She would though.
Exactly.
You know Jane.
She would.
She would.
Anyway, a couple of days passed.
And, like, so she messaged me that and I said, you would be.
And she didn't reply.
Like, so she sends red receipts.
Really?
Which is such a fucking power move.
We need to talk about that as well.
But another day.
She sends red receipts.
So I know she's read it.
She didn't reply to me, so she was obviously like, fuck you.
Like, I guess, like, towel between my legs.
A couple of days later, I'm like, what is it?
I'm, like, really busy at work at the moment.
I'm like, what's Wordle?
I need something to distract me.
Yeah, I need, you know, brain break.
And I logged on, and it's fucking great.
How long did it take for you to change your tune to go from zero to 100?
The 10 minutes that I sat there and enjoyed doing it.
So it's one, two, three, four, five, six, like, chances you get.
And it's five boxes and it can be any five-letter word in the world.
Like, but it's not a proper noun and you can't do swear words or something.
So not any word?
Mate.
Any word except these specific.
I can't even believe that you know any five-letter words.
Anyway, sorry, we're getting off topic.
Are you flapped?
Yeah.
No.
Didn't think so.
No, I'm not.
I'm all good.
Yeah, I'm flappable.
So it's any five-letter word.
Basically, say you typed in happy.
Yep.
Like they go grey if it's a letter that's not in it at all.
It goes orange if it's a letter that's in it but it's not in the right spot.
And it goes green if it's the right letter in the right spot.
Right.
And then it goes to the next thing and you have to try and like work out
what word it could be around the...
How many chances do you get?
Six.
Right.
And how have you been going at it?
So the first day I did it, so I'm on my third day now,
the first day that I did it, I got it in three goes.
Yesterday's, didn't get it at all.
Is that...?
It was fucking sad.
And, you know, they're the scores people aren't sharing.
You know what I mean?
People are sharing like, know what I mean?
People are sharing like, oh, I got this one in two.
And then, yeah, because you just share and it would just be like none of them were green.
But did that really hurt you?
Yeah, I felt really stupid, especially when I found out
that the word was ahead.
So it wasn't like some crazy word I'd never heard of before.
So do you feel like it's going to take you a few weeks to get good
or have you missed a boat of people already so good you can't catch up?
Well, I was really nervous about talking about it because it's one
of those things where I was like, oh, I bagged it out when it first started.
I'm a bit embarrassed now to say that actually it's great
and I really enjoy it.
Are you backtracking?
How do you feel about being a backtracker?
I need to rescind.
I feel like you're rescinding as a, I mean,
some people would just be so stubborn.
They would just back it in.
Yeah.
But I like that you were like, well, I've got to try this.
Thank you.
For me, anything that shows my skills or their lack of.
Lack thereof.
My point exactly.
Anything about the.
So are you not into talking?
Please don't stop talking.
You're making us laugh.
Great job here.
I don't think me publishing how great my English skills,
my spelling skills and grammar skills is probably going to do me any favours.
That's a great point.
Yeah, probably.
Hey, I like to believe that I'm smart and shit, but I know my areas. Yeah, probably not. Hey, I like to believe that I'm smart and shit, but I know
my areas. Yeah, your strengths.
And this language
is not one of them.
So I started doing the Wordle. I actually
really like it. So you're in now. You're one
of them. Have you posted your scores? I have not
posted my scores anywhere. Can we do it now?
No. Why not? Because I
can't, like I haven't done today's.
We'll do today's and then post your score.
Maybe we should do.
Does that make you one of those people?
Should we do today's Wordle live on Instagram?
Yes.
Yes, we should.
Should we do that?
Do Tuesdays on Tuesday when this goes out and post it.
But I want to be together.
I'll come around.
Okay.
Oh, you can't.
You're at a wedding.
Oh, yeah.
I've got a wedding today.
Don't spoil it. It's going to be my love to see it. Okay. Oh, you can't. You're at a wedding. Oh, yeah. I've got a wedding today. Don't spoil it.
It's going to be my love to see it.
Okay.
Yep.
Anyway, so it made me start thinking about other things
that I've missed the boat on but have exactly, as you said before,
been too stubborn to come back around.
Yep.
The big one for me, Game of Thrones.
That was literally the same thing I was going to say.
Really?
I think it got to season, oh, maybe two or three,
and I'm like, I'm too far gone.
I'm too far back.
I'm too far.
And you can't catch up with Game of Thrones because each episode
is 15 years fucking long.
And so I'm like, well, everyone, because remember the season
finales were like, it's in the news.
What are you doing Sunday night?
Or whatever the fuck day it is.
Yeah, fucking Daenerys and the ding-dong are fucking on the dragon
and the fucking egg's going to hatch.
Yeah, like everything's going on.
And I was like, I can't catch up 87 episodes that each go
for 15 hours before Sunday.
No.
So I'm just not going to bother.
So I won't bother.
And then also it becomes like a point of pride.
People are like, oh, you're watching Game of Thrones?
You're like, no.
No.
Game of Thrones.
Ooh. Yeah. Lame of pride. People are like, oh, you watching Game of Thrones? You're like, no. No. Game of Thrones. Ooh.
Yeah.
Lame of Thrones.
Here's the thing, though.
Yeah.
I reckon a lot of times I've thought I've missed the boat,
but really, like, you're still 10 years ahead in some point.
Oh, 100%.
Like, my friends were all on, this is going to make me sound so old.
No, no, no, no.
It's a safe space.
I just talked about wordles.
I feel like it's fine.
My friends were all on MySpace.
Oh, I know exactly what you're going to say.
Well, and I wasn't on yet.
Yep.
So I was like, I've kind of missed the boat on this.
And this was in 2004?
Oh, God, I wasn't even alive yet.
Yes, you were.
You were 10 years old.
So I'm like, oh, this sounds so embarrassing to say,
but I literally said this to myself.
I think I've missed the boat with this kind of online social media thing.
Yeah, no, amazing.
Little did I know that 15 years later it would be the majority
of my day and job.
Yeah, and I literally went, oh, I missed the start of MySpace
by three months.
I've obviously missed the internet.
But then as it turns out.
You're never too late.
Potentially.
People who get on TikTok today, and TikTok will be a classic example
of, oh, it's already.
I've kind of missed it.
If you got on today, you will, in history,
be remembered as one of the early ones. Still, if you did it today. I was the same with Instagram. Really? All my friends had it. And I was like, pfft, Instagram
is for indies. Like, it's not for me. Like, it's
I'm not cool enough to have Instagram, whatever. And then because you're intimidated by the thing,
you're like... Well, starting at zero is very intimidating.
Yeah.
And so all my friends had, you know, 100 followers already.
How am I going to catch up?
Where are they now, mate?
Still on 100.
How are your numbers doing?
They're all right.
Can't complain.
I should fucking hope not.
But, yeah, it's so funny that you think about those things
and you're like, oh, I actually really enjoy those things now.
And, like, when you're not stubborn, maybe it's actually just fine,
but it's just that you're embarrassed to be like,
I'm only on season one of Game of Thrones.
Like, please don't talk about it.
So all my mates started playing poker.
What?
When I was, yeah, again, 18, 19.
That's so random.
It kind of came back around into popular culture.
I think when it started being on TV and there was like the World Poker Tour,
like everyone went, oh, this is cool.
Do you remember that story of Kim Kardashian playing at the World Poker Tour, like everyone went, oh, this is cool. Do you remember that story of Kim Kardashian playing
at the World Poker Tour and she was wearing mirrored sunglasses?
No.
I've got a couple of fours.
I can see that you don't.
So like because they wear sunglasses to like so they can look around
and whatever.
Oh, and people can't read your reaction.
Yeah.
And she was wearing sunglasses, these massive like ski goggles,
sunglasses, and they were mirrored.
So everyone could see her cards.
It's very funny.
Anyway, that was many years ago.
But I thought I'd missed poker because my mates knew what a full house meant
and I didn't want to rock up and be like, oh, sorry.
I've got a two and a six.
What does that mean?
Is a jack worth a ten?
Yeah.
And then I played for like four minutes and I was like, oh.
I got it.
Yeah, I didn't turn up for three months because I was embarrassed.
Yeah.
But that's the thing.
Oh, my God, this has kind of turned into a like never,
it's never too late.
Hey, guys.
Do we need some.
Yeah, this is like an inspirational.
Put some beautiful inspo music in.
Hey.
It's never too late to start.
The first way to do a thousand steps is by taking the first step.
Oh, four, seven times stand up eight.
You know?
That's not really appropriate in this scenario.
The hardest step to take is the first.
Actually, that is quite relevant.
That's literally what we're saying.
Yeah.
You won't get there quicker by not starting now.
You want to come round later tonight, Tony,
and watch Game of Thrones?
God, no.
I've been at the gym.
Torbs rings me.
No, I'm just at the gym, mate.
Who's there?
What's happening?
I'm just at the gym. At the Who's there? What's happening? I'm just at the gym.
At the gym, he says.
Who's gym?
Hey, I've got a great Women's Day.
You'll have to see it.
Do you?
Yeah.
I've been a long-time fan of Domino's pizza.
I mean, who isn't?
Oh, you're about to say I've been a long-time fan of women?
I mean, both.
Both.
Both apply.
Domino's pizza.
Not the fanciest pizza, but she gets the job done.
Sometimes it's what you need.
Yeah, it's really what you need.
Yeah, like sometimes you do want a fucking prosciutto
and rocket and pear pizza.
Sometimes you fucking need a double bacon cheeseburger
with a cheese stuffed crust.
Any meat you can name, throw it on, bro.
Yeah.
So this girl named Maddie, she started making the pizzas
and delivering the pizzas when she was 15 years old.
Have you seen this story?
Yeah.
I think I shared it during the week.
15 years old, you know, after school, helping out,
earning a bit of pocket money.
Just working there, just loving it.
Earning her way, getting some play.
Like, what a legend.
Great.
Learning skills about life.
Yeah, it's never too late to start learning skills about life,
and it's never too early.
Apparently 15.
So she finishes high school, and they say,
oh, do you want a full-time job?
Because she's great.
So she ends up being, like like the shift manager, duty manager,
maybe like assistant store manager, doing some admin.
Kind of like working her way up.
Yeah, doing the rosters and whatever.
At the age of 21, Maddie has now purchased her own franchise,
running her own business and owning a slice of the Domino's Empire.
Oh, Maddie.
At 21 years old.
You love to see that, don't you?
You fucking love to see that.
That is insane.
Well done.
What a fucking achievement.
Yeah.
If you could say anything to her, what would you say?
Fucking chuck in a double bacon cheeseburger.
Maddie, let's have a beer.
Celebrate.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Put some pepperoni on the side.
My love to see it today is that my two best friends are getting married today.
Are you going to cry?
Later on this afternoon?
Yep.
This is their fourth attempt.
So during COVID, they have tried to get married so many times,
keeps getting cancelled, pushed back, cancelled, pushed back,
and they're finally getting married today.
They're in New Zealand, so Torbs and I aren't able to go, which is really sad.
But you're putting your best frock on and watching online.
Yes.
So a few friends getting together and watching the wedcast,
I think it's called.
Well, people who listen to us may have listened to Jason PJ.
Yeah, so producer Alex, he's getting married today.
It's very fucking exciting.
So congratulations to him and his wife, Blake Lively.
Yeah.
Fuck, she's fucking gorgeous, isn't she?
She looks exactly like Blake Lively.
Yeah.
But I cut some music for their wedding last week.
Which is, like, I love being the friend that people are like,
we need some music up for our wedding.
Tony's got it.
Tony's got it covered.
So that was my contribution.
But, yeah, I'm fucking so excited to watch it.
Good on them.
I'm really sad that I won't be there, but I'm glad I get to watch.
Very happy for them.
I know you are.
I know I am.
I've only met them a couple of times.
Lovely people.
Good on them.
And as someone who had to delay the wedding, we had to do it myself,
the relief that they're going to feel today,
that it's finally done, the paper sign, we're married, good on them.
And you're just bloody upset.
They're finally meoweried.
I don't like you saying meowery.
Mouldied.
It's in New Zealand.
Close.
Close.
But, yeah, so that's a big one for me today.
But it's been a great Tuesday.
Tomorrow, what are we doing tomorrow?
Twins.
We're talking about twins, Bustle, twins.
From Austin Fowlers.
Austin Meowers.
As women, our life stages come with unique risk factors.
Like when our estrogen levels drop during menopause,
causing the risk of heart disease to go up.
Know your risks.
