Hello, this is the Tony and Ryan podcast. Who we got? Who we calling?
Okay, we've got Michael, who is in the UK.
Hello?
Hi, Michael.
Oh, thank God.
Oh, thank God.
Oh, Michael, sorry we missed you earlier. But would you mind approving the podcast now?
Is that okay?
Oh, I'll approve it and then I can finally go to bed. Yes, of course I approve the podcast.
Hi, it's Michael from Manchester and I approve this podcast.
Coming up in this episode, we're going to hear about a young
Tony Lodge on the dating scene.
And I want you to think about a young yourself when you were dating
or maybe you still are and you go, oh, me and Tony, sisters.
Same issues, same things happening.
I mean, we're all the same.
We're all the same.
Hopefully not, though.
Hopefully not.
Yeah, hopefully not. Hopefully this hasn't happened to you on a date. And if it hasn't, never're all the same. We're all the same. Hopefully not, though. Hopefully not. Yeah, hopefully not.
Hopefully this hasn't happened to you on a date.
And if it hasn't, never do it.
Okay.
Some wise words.
That's my dating advice.
Don't do it.
Don't do this thing.
First of all, normal or nah?
Okay.
I might be outing myself here.
So we're Facebook market placing.
Is that right?
Let's start with Facebook marketplace.
Normal or nah?
Going on Facebook marketplace, asking the seller if it's still available
and then absolutely ghosting them.
Ethan says, I've never done this, but I've had it done to me
about 10 million times.
Why the fuck does this keep happening?
Is it normal or nah?
I'm going to say nah nah like as in stop it from
happening yeah um but i think i've definitely done it i don't think i've ghosted them after
you're not a ghost i you'd be you'd feel too bad i'd probably be like oh that's all good thank you
though but you know what i don't like on a facebook marketplace ad or like gum tree or
craigslist or whatever is when it says like,
if you can see this ad, it's still available.
You know how people post at the bottom?
Is that them getting ahead of the curve?
Yeah, so that people don't say, is this still available?
That's just not true.
Yeah, it happens all the time.
It happens all the time.
Someone DMs you, they come pick it up.
That's why they're asking because they've been burned.
Yes, exactly.
So if I've experienced heartbreak,
you can't then be passive aggressive at me for asking a very simple question.
Like if you're going to get into the wild, wild west, the cowboy world.
Of Facebook marketplace.
Of Facebook marketplace and selling stuff,
you need to be prepared for people to be fuckheads because they just are.
But also is it like if someone comes into a shop
and they have a look around and just leave, you're not like,
oh, they've ghosted us.
Exactly.
Whereas I think that messaging somebody and saying, hey,
is this still available?
And you going, yep, is actually just like being polite because it's like,
oh, I don't want to get my hopes up on buying this table
or Facebook marketplace if then it isn't actually available.
So true.
And it's also kind of like standing in the line.
Because if, say, if you got a message from someone that was like, hey, is this still
available?
And then a message from somebody else, you'd be like, okay, well, my, like, it has to first
pick go to the first person.
Yeah.
Does it though?
Oh, I think so.
What if you can squeeze a bit more out of the second person?
I think that's a bit dodgy, but I mean, do what you got to do.
Do what you got to do.
As you know, I'm a very-
Hustle's got to hustle.
Exactly.
I'm a very impatient person, so I don't sell things on Facebook Marketplace
because I just can't deal with the fuck around of like-
Them coming over.
What time are you free?
Do I transfer you the money?
So we've done it before when we had to move and Torbs kind of dealt with it.
But, yeah, there were people that were supposed to come.
They just didn't rock up or they came, they didn't bring the money
or, like, they fucked you around and they were like,
oh, I'm just 10 minutes away and then three hours later
they'd fucking rock up.
Like, I don't have time for that shit.
So I want something for it must have been $30 or $40, right?
It's not even fucking worth it, dude.
They rock up with a $20 and a $50.
And it was like $30 or $40.
Oh.
And is it on me to have change?
No.
No fucking way.
That's what I thought.
So I go, mate, let's just say it was $30.
That's $30.
He's like, I've only got a $50 or a $20.
That is alpha dog energy.
That is just expecting being like, you know what, what are they going to do? Say no and take
the $50? Well, I think he was kind of saying, oh yeah, I'll have to like
he'll just take the $20. Surely the $20 is fine. But what an asshole because then
you're in this. Yeah, because you can't obviously then be like, oh, well, I'll just take the 20. Surely the 20 is fine. But what an asshole because then you're in this. He already was doing it. Yeah, because you can't obviously then be like, oh, well,
I'll just take the 50.
Yeah.
He goes, oh, you got changed?
And I was like, no.
No, dude.
And he's like, oh, I only got a 20 or a 50.
What would you have done in that situation?
I would have been like, cool, do you mind just going
and grabbing another 10 bucks?
You wouldn't do that.
No, I wouldn't do that.
I'd be like, you know what, just take the whole thing.
I'll pay you.
Yeah.
That's fucking sneaky. I'd be like, you know what, just take the whole thing. I'll pay you. That's fucking sneaky.
I took the 20.
Oh, you would.
You're a nice guy.
No, and I fucking hated myself for the rest of the day.
Yeah, well, you haven't stopped thinking about it.
You're talking about it now.
Yeah, I was like, one day in three years I'll tell this story
on a podcast and then we'll see who's laughing.
It turns out it's still that guy.
Ethan also says if anyone's interested, he's got a desk and a couch.
Okay.
We're not.
Is it still available?
Don't.
Don't.
He's brought that.
It's a safe, tame, lame east that he's brought that to.
Tame, lame east.
Normal or nah?
After just cutting one piece of bread, wiping the serrated bread knife on a cloth or your
pants and putting it back in the drawer.
Hell yeah, normal. Normal. Yep. Agreed. Every time in life. Yeah. Nicola Thomas it back in the drawer. Hell, yeah, normal.
Normal.
Yep.
Agreed.
Every time in my life.
Yeah.
Nicola Thomas says, we're all doing this, yeah?
Don't need to wash the whole knife after cutting just one slice of bread.
Wipe it off.
She'd be right.
Sometimes I do it on my nightie or whatever I'm wearing.
Just a quick once over.
Yeah.
And you know how last week we talked about like how often you wash
like your water jug or whatever?
I'll stop you right there.
You can't talk about how often if your answer is I don't.
That's not often.
But like so many people don't do it and then people go,
oh, I do it every three minutes.
I'm like, you're fucking lying.
Like there's just no way.
So if you say you're not doing this, you're lying. It's like people that say, oh, I don't pee in the shower. Like you're fucking lying. Like there's just no way that, like, so if you say you're not doing this,
you're lying.
It's like people that say, oh, I don't pee in the shower.
Like you're fucking lying.
So you've got the people who admit to it and the liars.
Yep.
And they're the same person.
They're the same person.
I don't know why that just reminded me of,
it must have been the second or third episode when that lady goes,
I soak my toilet seats in the bath once a month
and I've been married 45 years.
Yep.
Fucking what do you want me to do, Elizabeth?
Her name actually was Elizabeth.
Yeah, it was.
See, it stuck with you as well.
Yeah, it's really triggering me right now.
I was also quite relieved when I saw that from Nicola
because I was like, oh, that could have been a secret shame.
Yes.
But we're all doing it.
So let's just all be proud.
Thank you.
Let's live our best lives.
Let's be proud of who we are.
People just do gross shit.
Yeah.
I don't even think that's gross shit.
No.
I think it's fine.
One piece of bread with a bread knife.
What else is it going to do?
Exactly.
What do you reckon is the worst thing that you've done and just given it a quick wipe when you maybe should have, like,
washed it properly?
Oh.
There's not a lot.
Especially in the bachelor days.
I could have gone a while without needing to use the dishwasher.
Oh, yeah.
Because, you know, just, oh, yeah, I'll just give it that wipe.
Or, like, lick a knife and put it back or something.
Yeah, yeah.
I get you.
Safe space. Yeah, share house was probably not lick a knife and put it back or something. Yeah, yeah. I get you. Safe space.
Yeah, share house was probably not should have done that when I was in Queensland.
There was eight of us in the house there.
Eight people?
In Toowoomba, yeah.
How many bathrooms?
Two.
Eight people using two bathrooms?
Yeah, so there was four bedrooms in one end of the house with a bathroom
and then four bedrooms at the other end of the bathroom.
Just off the University of Southern Queensland.
I didn't go to the school, but it was just like cheap housing
and the rest of them were students and I just had a room there.
Yeah, right.
Pretty fucking gross.
That would have been gross.
Anyway, moving on.
Good times have by all.
Normal or nah?
Turning the tap on when you go to the bathroom
so other people can't hear what's happening.
Nah.
Fucking nah.
Fuck off.
Whilst I agree with the sentiment, is it true that when you were at my house and we'd had some coffees that you needed to shit and asked me to take the dog for a walk to get out of,
not even just away from the bathroom door, but to get out of the house.
Well, so where we sit at your house, like at the table when we're working.
It's right next to the bathroom.
Literally right next to the bathroom.
It's a bit, yeah.
And you know how sometimes you think that maybe it's going to have like,
be a bit noisy, maybe like, pfft, kind of vibes.
Yeah, and I was like, why don't you take Bron out for a wee
while I'm taking myself out for a wee?
Yeah.
And I thought that was fair enough.
It was fine.
It's not because I was embarrassed of the noises because I have said proudly
to start fart and have no shame with your pre-wee fart.
But I just thought that would be a bit more polite because I was like,
oh, this is going to be a bit graphic.
But like turning the tap on to do a wee or something,
I'm just like, oh, a waste of water.
Not only is it a waste of water.
Environmentalist Tony won't have that.
Yeah, you know, I'm a real greenie.
And so a waste of water.
But also just like everybody poops.
Except my wife.
Except your wife.
Yeah.
And, you know, like if you're going to be worried and self-conscious about doing a wee,
I think you need to think about having more other problems.
Well, maybe if that's the only problem you have, then what a great life you must lead.
What's your secret?
Yeah.
What do you think?
Because you're kind of a nervous poo-er.
Well, yeah.
I've also sent you out the front. Yes.
Because after you sent the priest in, I'm like, oh, we can send each other out of the house. Yeah, and I just think
some, like, because it's
very close. It is very close
to where we sit. My house is tiny.
BJ does love going out
in the street, so everyone's a winner. So it's nice to go out and
play with the ball for five minutes or whatever
and it's just like get us out of,
move around from the table.
You know, I think it's fine.
It's more courtesy.
It is courtesy.
I love the idea that someone might go, oh,
what are you doing out the front?
And they go, oh, Tony's taking a shit.
Yeah.
Some girl I work with is in there doing a poo.
Some, I don't know if, were we talking about this the other day?
So my wife Bridget goes to work early in the morning.
Yep.
And then Tony will come over during the day and we've been doing like
personalised videos and stuff.
Or just like taking meetings or whatever.
Yeah.
And was it we thinking that like the dog might be sus on us or are people
in the street?
People in the street.
So because across from you, yeah, they're like renovating a house.
Yes, there's all these tradies. So across from you, yeah, they're like renovating a house. Yeah, so there's all these tradies and then
my wife's car leaves,
Tony's car pulls in about an hour
later. Yeah, and then I always leave around
two and your wife gets home around 2.30.
Really? I'm like, what's going on here?
Yeah, so I always think like, oh, and you always
go and grab us a coffee each.
So I'm like, so you come back with two coffees
and then I roll in and always
like, I wonder what they think is going on.
At that cafe, they like know Bridget and I's order.
Yeah.
So I walk in and they go, oh, soy cap and a flat white.
But when you're over, I'm like, oh, no, that's for the other girl.
This one, just a latte, thanks.
The other girl?
And they're like, sure.
And they're just like, you know what? We won't ask any questions.
That's my wife's order.
She's at work.
This is for someone else.
Don't ask, don't tell.
Well, you and Bridget were home at the same time the other day
and BJ the dog was like, oh.
Do they know about each other?
I don't know nothing.
I'm just a dog.

It just really set the scene.
Oh, that surprises me that you liked the first line.
Hmm.
Okay.
Yep.
Let's talk about this in great detail later.
It was just the greatness continued.
Oh, thank mate.
You're too kind.
I really am.
Yeah.
Tomorrow on the show, what would you do, Tony, if you went into a store and you needed help
and the person says, look, I can help you, but you've got to help me.
Like cover up a murder?
What kind of store do you think I was going to?
I don't know.
You've been watching too many Only Murders in the Building.
Yeah.
My mind just went to the worst possible place.
Not that bad.
Okay.
But pretty bad.
I'll be interested to see what you and everyone else thinks of this situation.
And I found myself in and I had to make a decision.
Oh, and you've got to decide quick.
Well, you're right.
There you are.
Are we doing it?
Oh, my God.
That's coming up tomorrow.
We love a bad date on this show.
Yep.
But what we don't love is spew.
No.
And who does, to be fair?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
It freaks me out.
The sound of other people throwing up.
Just this. Just the sound.
Oh, no.
You can't come in here and dry.
Apparently it's dry retch.
I've been saying dry reach.
Oh, my God.
I say dry reach.
Are you sure?
The internet loves correcting shit I say.
I think that's one of them.
Anyway, you come in here every week, dry reaching, making noises,
and then listen to you.
Oh, don't you hate the sound of spit?
Okay.
Do you know what's worse than that sound?
What?
The actual spew, like hitting the toilet or the floor or whatever.
Because you know that meaty slap.
You're really painting a picture for us that we don't need painted.
Thank you so much.
It's theatre of the mind.
Everyone close your eyes.
Put your fucking painting wand.
What's a painting thing called?
Brush.
Brush.
Put your brush away.
She's like, painting wand?
Fucking Harry Potter.
Paint a picture, Leo So.
What's he say?
Was I you trying to do a spell?
I don't know.
It's not important.
Please continue with the story.
I love that yesterday we talked about spells because I told you
you were going to be bald.
Yeah.
We talked about spells two days in a row.
Tune in tomorrow.
Will the trilogy continue?
Got this story from Anna Lee and it sounds a bit like anally.
So I think that's really bad.
Yeah, okay.
Don't you think? Well, it does now that you've brought it up. bit like anally. So I think that's really bad. Yeah, okay. Don't you think?
Well, it does now that you've brought it up.
It's about attention.
Got this bad date story from anally.
Anna says, we went to a carnival and he puked on the swirly twirly upside down ride.
Oh, that's a shame.
You're not a fan of rides.
I'm not a scary ride guy.
I have spewed at the Royal Melbourne show.
Have you?
Yep.
Oh, that's so fucking embarrassing.
It is, but it wasn't.
Were you on a date?
No, and I think a date at a carnival.
I mean, it's like the obvious cliche one, but in reality.
Yeah, well, no, because I'm a scaredy cat.
Yep.
But I didn't spew on the whirly whirly thing.
I like got off, it was dizzy and felt gross, and then went to the bathroom.
And it ruined my day.
It would.
Of course it would.
It was the first thing I did.
As soon as I got there, I went on the ride, and the rest of the day,
I was awful.
And because just when it does upset your stomach,
you just feel crook all day.
You're dizzy and gross.
And because when you're at a carnival, often you're eating quite shit food
as well, like a corn dog or like heaps of chips or like sugary drinks.
You've talked about corn dogs and Annalee in the same story here.
So was she the spewer or the guy?
Okay.
So he threw up on the swirly twirly upside down ride.
She cleaned him up, got him some water and everything.
Oh, lovely.
And went, maybe we should head off.
So they caught the bus home.
And as we were just discussing, after you've done one throw up,
you're kind of pretty queasy still.
While they were on the bus, he threw up all over the bus
and they got kicked off the bus.
What?
And they had to walk.
So they had to walk the rest of the home.
Were you like, oh, mate, you're sick, you poor thing.
I know.
Would you like some water? Would you like me to help you clean? Just kick him off the bus. Yeah, so they got kicked walk the rest of the... Were you like, oh, mate, are you sick? You poor thing. I know. Would you like some water?
Would you like me to help you clean?
Just kick him off the bus.
Yeah, so they got kicked off the bus.
They had to walk.
And Anna says there was no second date.
As in she was like, this is gross, I'm grossed out.
Or was he just so embarrassed?
Well, maybe it was a combination.
She hasn't said, but maybe it was a combination of the two
because you would be fucking embarrassed.
You'd be so embarrassed.
You're like, oh, we had such a great time last time.
Do you want to come up?
Yeah.
So this has actually happened to me.
I've been with somebody who's like thrown up while we were out.
So you weren't the spewer?
I was the spewee.
Right.
So this is with an ex-boyfriend.
Oh, Tony Love.
He had actually like just dumped me
and we were all in the same friendship group.
Right.
And it was like it was the two weeks after we'd broken up.
We hadn't seen or spoken for two weeks and I'd obviously gone off
and been like, well, fuck you.
I was heartbroken.
And then two weeks later we were all going out as a group
and I was like, oh, this is the first time he's going to see me.
I'm going to look hot as fuck.
You know, one of those kind of nights.
Had your revenge dress on.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, I think that my hair was blonde while we were dating
and in the two weeks it was brown.
You know, like it was one of those.
Yeah, righto.
Yeah.
Anyway, so we go out and it's kind of that two weeks where you maybe would.
That final.
Yeah.
So when you were getting dressed, were you like,
we're going to have that farewell bang?
Well, I was thinking this is a possibility.
Okay.
So when it was a revenge dress, it was also like a.
A fuck me dress.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm glad we're being honest now
just a little bit i mean there's always that yeah it's a but i mean one for the road back in the day
so i was like 18 yeah so back then every night that you went out it was like a possibility that
you'd be like oh wouldn't it be great to like smooch someone real good looking yeah you're
always a chance when you're going out when you're 18 exactly so you're kind of keeping your options
open anyway but i'm like on a weekday when you're a teenager.
I don't think that's true.
Can we get someone to Google that?
But anyway, so it was one of those kind of nights.
Anyway, we go out.
I'm looking hot.
He's there.
All, you know.
Is it on the cards, would you say?
Is that fair to say it's on the cards?
Well, he was pretty drunk.
It's on the cards.
And I was like, we knew what we were doing,
like it was all good.
But he maybe had like one drink too many like just before we left.
Everybody was still at the club.
For anybody in Perth, we were at Amplifier Capital.
Ooh.
Which was very cool then.
Yeah, very cool.
I wonder if it's still cool.
It's definitely not.
Okay.
Well, that's where we were.
We were in the outside part and he was fucking wasted and I was like,
you obviously need to go home.
And he was like, no, no, no, I'm okay.
And I was like, are you sure?
And he was like, yeah, I just want to go home with you.
And I was like.
Was that a hot thing to say?
Yes.
I was like, fuck yeah, you just dumped me.
Like, this is awesome.
Were you trying to get back together or were you just trying to get one again one for the road i think i was just really sad
yeah it had been you know i got dumped like that sucks i was 18 i was like thought we were going
to be together forever that is sad anyway so i'm like okay how about we go home we're both like a
bit messy um but it was pretty early in the night. And anyway, so I was like, what do you want to do?
And he was like, well, just get a taxi back to your house.
I was like, okay, cool.
I lived very, very far away from the city.
A taxi at the least was like $80.
Whoa.
When you're 18, that's.
Yeah.
Anyway, and so we get in a taxi and this guy that I'm with is like,
I'm going to be sick.
I'm going to be sick.
And you know how there's like a $50 cleaning fee of a taxi,
like if you throw up?
Anyway, I was like, oh, my God, can we please pull over?
I promise he won't be sick in the car, but can we please pull over?
And the taxi driver's like, oh, I don't want to fucking deal with this.
We pull over.
He doesn't throw up.
And I'm like, oh, fucking hell, we better not get back in the car
and you throw up.
So we sat on the side of the road for like 20 minutes.
Anyway, so by the time we get-
The taxi's still there?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the meter's fucking running.
And then we get all the way home to mine and they're like, oh, that's $150.
What?
And I was like, okay, well, I don't have any fucking money.
And this guy that I'm with, he's like, he had a job.
He was working full time.
And he just dumped me.
So I was pretty fucking upset.
Yep.
And I could see that nothing was going to happen tonight
and that he wasn't interested in being with me.
So I just took the money out of his wallet.
Yeah, you did.
You can pay.
Yeah, I was like, you can pay.
You ran this tab up, son.
And then we got out of the car.
He fell on the floor and then he threw up all over my feet.
Yep, all over me.
What shoes were you wearing?
I was wearing black high heels and I had just gotten my feet tattooed
so they were like fresh and scabby and yuck.
And they were even scabbier and yuck and full of.
Throw up.
Yep.
And did you just leave him out the front?
I was just like, oh, my God.
And I'm pretty sure my mum woke up and it was like a whole thing
and fucking whatever. Yeah. But anyway, oh, my God. And I'm pretty sure my mum woke up and it was like a whole thing and fucking whatever.
Yeah.
But anyway, yeah, not ideal.
And so did you ever hook up with him again?
Surely that was like, no, a line in the sand moment.
You've dumped me.
You're a piece of shit.
You're throwing up.
You've cost $150 taxi.
You're carrying on like a pork chop.
This is it.
Surely.
Tony?
Yeah.
What?
I got another message here from Sian.
Tarpers, you can fill in the blanks.
Just like he did.
Anyway.
Oh, my God.
That's so disgusting.
Message here from Sian.
When I was 18, I was chatting to a friend of a friend of mine on MSN.
Oh, hello.
Sexy.
ASL.
And he asked me if I'd like to go for a drive with him that evening.
Nice.
Which is, like, pretty hard for dudes.
Like, oh, yeah, you want to come for it?
So the ex-boyfriend that threw up on me.
This is the first thing that we did together.
He was like, hey, I'll come pick you up.
Yeah, and you're a car girl. You want together. He was like, hey, I'll come pick you up. Yeah.
And you're a car girl.
I am. You don't go for a drive.
Yeah, I do.
Anyway, and so this guy says to Sian, like, let's go.
I'll take you for a drive, like whatever.
And then he goes, but you'll have to drive because I don't have a car.
But.
Oh, did you want something to eat?
I don't have any food, though. Hey. Oh, and you want something to eat? I don't have any food though.
Or no money.
Would you like to come for a weekend away to my private island?
That sounds amazing, yes.
Yeah, do you have an island?
Because I don't.
It just sounded like a hot date.
Isn't that just like a crazy empty offer?
Like why would you even?
If you know you don't have the goods to front up that
offer... That's fucking dumb. What an idiot. Yeah. What an idiot.
Sorry, Sian, that that happened to you.
Oh my god, surely you'd just be like, no thanks, bud.
I'm all good. When I lived and
worked in Canberra, shout
out, hit 104.7.
Shout out. Time, time, age.
Our team had a rule that we
don't do empty offers. And if someone
throws an empty offer, it's your duty to say yes.
Oh, so you have to follow through on anything you offer?
Well, because we kind of had a similar chat and, you know,
there was like that classic like, oh, are you cold?
Do you want my jacket?
Yes.
And we were kind of chatting about this concept of the empty offer.
And we're like, well, the one way to put an end to that is just start saying yes to stuff.
Because then you know that you're always going to be honest.
Yep.
Yeah.
Oh, I actually really like that.
And it started with like, yeah, no, I will take your jacket.
I was like, oh, do you want me to give you a ride home?
Yeah.
Oh, did you want a piece of my sushi?
Yeah.
Yep, I do.
That's heartbreaking when you offer someone food and they say yes.
Yeah, but then this empty offer got a little bit out of hand.
The sushi.
The sushi was the final straw.
So I said to Georgia, who I worked with there, who was like in another department.
Yeah.
Who like, we weren't not friends, but we're also like not tight.
Yeah.
But you're just like, oh.
Yeah.
We got along well.
Jay and I, yeah, we're friends.
Got along well.
Worked at the same place.
All was good.
Had a few beers together.
Had a few different work functions.
Yeah.
I moved to Perth and I said to the team, guys, come over to Perth.
I'm moving over there.
I'd love to have you over for a weekend.
Then Georgia walks around.
I was like, oh, gee, you want to come as well?
Yep.
And she flew to Perth.
And everyone just pissed themselves laughing.
And she was like, where am I going to stay?
I'm like, I guess you're going to stay at my place.
And then I remember saying to Bridget, I'm like, I guess you're going to stay at my place.
And then I remember saying to Bridget, I'm like, oh, Georgia Duck's coming over this weekend.
She's staying here.
And Bridget's like, really?
Like, fine, why?
And I was like, because I offered.
And she's like, you know the rules.
No empty offers in Canberra, mate.
That is such a strong move.
So, Georgia, thanks for coming from Canberra to Perth.
She had a great weekend.
Oh, you should invite her over now to Melbourne.
You were just saying to me the other day that you'd love for Georgia
to come and stay with you.
Are you empty offering?
Are you empty offering?
No, you said you'd love for Georgia to come and stay with you now.
I would.
Yeah.
So if you're listening, G, hit us up.
You can say with Ryan for the weekend, he'll take you out for dinner.
It'll be lovely.
I love to see that.
So did they go for a drive?
Do we know the result of that date?
No, I'm guessing that she just went, you know what?
No, thanks.
Not for me.
She replies, yeah, cool.
You pick me up at eight.
Maybe she just said, lol.
Signed out.
See you.
Keep your date stories coming through. I love those. Oh, lol, and signed out. See you. Keep your date stories coming through.
I love those.
Oh, fuck, they're good.
Things you love to see.
I've got a great one.
Shoot.
I have overcome a fear.
Really?
Yep.
You do an anal again?
Mate, I never stop.
So earlier in this podcast, I talked about how I was really scared
of listening to new music and making playlists on Spotify.
Because you love what you know, don't take any risks.
Are you on the young gravy train?
No, I'm not on the young gravy train.
I just made that up.
That's a saying.
Yep.
Put that on a T-shirt.
Ha ha, right on.
People do it.
I have started curating and making my
own playlists
all by myself. Is this
just for you or can we subscribe?
There's a question you didn't know you were going to get.
I mean, they are
just for me, but I guess other people could listen.
I think if you search me up on
Spotify, I think they come up. I've had an idea. Yep. And this could be weird, but I guess other people could listen. I think if you search me up on Spotify, I think they come up.
I've had an idea.
Yep.
And this could be weird, but it could be cool, but it could be weird.
Okay.
It's a playlist that everyone, all tarpers can contribute to.
Yep.
One song each.
Yep.
And the playlist is called Songs Tarpers Fuck Too.
I think this already exists.
Oh, does it?
I feel like I saw in a Facebook thread at some point
someone was like, oh, I made a Tarpers Spotify playlist.
Yeah, but when I say that they fuck, I mean like your sex songs.
Oh, sex songs.
Oh.
Yeah.
Okay.
And then we can all do it to the same beat.
Yeah.
Is that weird?
Yep.
Yep.
Okay, we'll just stick with Tony's.
Okay.
What's on there? What have you? Well, so I've done like monthly Yep. Yep. Okay, we'll just stick with Tony's. Okay. What's on there?
What have you?
Well, so I've done like monthly vibes.
Oh.
So like in July, I was really into, like I only listened to Blink-182,
like literally for a whole month.
I was around you during that phase and I didn't hate it.
Literally a whole month.
Every time I got in the car, I was like, okay.
Yeah, we know what's going to be on.
Yep.
Last month, I was super into rap and hip hop.
I listened to like a lot of Childish Gambino and stuff.
And then for September.
New month, new list.
Yeah.
So I've gone with like a kind of happy vibe.
September's not really ready yet.
I'll do a bit more curating and a bit more listening.
Well, it's a moving.
It's a living, breathing's the, it's a.
It's a living, breathing kind of thing.
Playlist.
Entity.
Organism.
That's what I was trying to say.
Yeah, I know.
It's a living, moving organism.
Okay.
You've got to the end of September to nail September.
Yeah.
So you just keep adding to it.
Yeah, and then it's just kind of like things that I'm vibing.
And I normally like take one song and like build off that. Yeah. So you just keep adding to it. Yeah, and then it's just kind of like things that I'm vibing. And I normally like take one song and like build off that.
Yeah.
That's kind of what I've started doing.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm really into this. So what's the first song of September?
September by Earth, Wind & Fire.
Fucking what a classic.
Yeah, and see how I had that ready to go?
I was like ready to go.
Yeah.
I'm loving that.
I'm loving this new Tony.
Yeah, I've built it.
It's not quite ready, but I think, yeah,
I think if you search for me on Spotify,
maybe I could do like each month one of the blogs on Patreon
could be about the new.
Are you already short on blog topics?
No, but that's fun.
It is.
It's something fun that I'm making.
No, that is good.
And it's free.
Like you don't have to do anything to listen to it.
Press play.
If you can't press play.
I mean, there's a different problem, and that's not mine.
But anyway, so my love to see is that I overcame a fear
and an anxiety that I had, and I love it.
It's actually so fun.
So what was the moment, because you have said,
I know my songs, I don't want to venture out of my...
What was the moment when you went, actually, nah, I will do this?
Was it an empowering moment?
Did something happen that triggered this?
Well, so I saved a bunch of songs to my life songs,
which is normally what I do, and those same five songs,
I just kept queuing up and I was like,
oh, I might as well just put them in my own playlist.
So it was a logistical admin thing.
It was.
Your hate of admin is now paying dividends.
Thank you. And hopefully for other people, if they like the music, that's in admin thing. It was. Your hate of admin is now paying dividends. Thank you.
And hopefully for other people, if they like the music,
that's in the playlist.
Get involved.
But anyway, yeah, so that's why I love to see it.
Why I love to see it.
Someone shared in the group an engagement notice in a local paper.
Oh, congratulations.
Yep.
Congratulations to, and I believe they're like an older,
they may have had previous marriages and they've sort of found love later on, which is always lovely.
So it's Cindy Craven and Charles Dick.
So congratulations.
They have decided to, have you seen this in the group?
No, I haven't.
They have hyphenated their last name.
Craven Dick.
Oh, yeah.
Cindy Craven Dick and Charles Craven Dick.
Very happily married.
That has to be a joke.
Well, I thought that.
There's a clipping from the newspaper, a photo of the newspaper,
and they got married at Glen Falls Baptist Church,
and Pastor Bryant Bailey was presiding, and they were...
Have a look here.
So in the church, they had to say,
I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Cravendick. to say, I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Craven Dick.
Or just, I now pronounce you Craven Dick.
Have a look here because the bride was given away
by like a mutual friend or something.
This here.
Read this sentence here from the bride about who gave them away.
The bride will be given in marriage by Jonathan Dunn.
That was what you were called when you were a baby.
Oh, well, you wouldn't have been Dunn, but you were called Jonathan, right?
Just John.
Oh, just John.
But I saw Jonathan Dunn and I was like, yes, I will, and it's me,
I will be a part of a Craven Dick story.
Oh, that's actually quite beautiful, isn't it?
It is beautiful.
And there's nothing not beautiful about Craven Dick,
and I've always said that.
I have always said that, and I've heard you say that,
and you can Google that because you've said that before.
Yeah, thank you.
Well, I love to see people Craven Dick and being open about it.
Yeah, I love to see Dick Craver, and I hope you well for the honeymoon,
which I'm sure will be full of...
Yeah, maybe they'll change their name after to Full of Dick.
Had enough, Dick.
Well fed of Dick.
Sick of Dick.
Our cousin choking on Dick is expected to be married in a few weeks as well.
Yeah, and your other cousin, how's the Dick?
How's the dick craving gone?
Oh, have you met Cindy's sister, Sean Pretty Huge?
What?
His first name is Sean Pretty Huge.
Sean Pretty Huge Craven Dick.
It doesn't make sense.
Sorry, I'm distracted by PhDs.
We'll chat to you tomorrow for our third vodcast.
Oh, love you, bye.
Sean Pretty Hitch.
Pretty Hitch.
PhD.
