Welcome to the first ever Tony and Ryan podcast shareholder meeting and very serious stuff. over-dramatise this, but... We would never.
I'm not one to go over the top.
It sounds like one of us is about to get voted off Survivor.
It does, doesn't it?
That's not the intense music I was after.
No, that's good.
Maybe more of a... No, that sounds like one of us is about to get, yeah,
voted off Bridgerton.
Yeah, or marrying a rich person.
Ooh.
It's got, yeah, let me try one more and then we can move on
with this very important meeting.
Yeah.
I don't want to over-dramatise this.
That's good.
That sounds like someone's just found out they've got lupus on house.
That's good. That's what you want. Can you they've got lupus on house. That's good.
That's what you want.
Can you tell I'm watching a lot of house at the moment?
Yeah, there's a lot of house references coming through.
Yeah.
Although it makes it sound like there's been a medical something
and something bad's happened.
This is a good shareholder meeting.
Yeah.
Maybe cut the music because I don't think it's very representative
of what's going on.
Great.
Cut a finger.
Okay.
Slowly creeping back.
Now, quick, cut that before I have to pay for it.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Yeah.
What's the deal with that?
So we can't put more than, like, two or three seconds of a proper song
into the podcast without having to pay for it.
Okay.
Yeah, and our friends at, you know, the pod bosses.
The pod bosses, they don't like that.
They don't like it.
They don't like that.
Okay, righto.
Anyway.
We have called you here today because we have some plans to share with you
and I have some presents that I've been organising.
Presents?
That are, when I tell you.
For me?
Well, you know of their possibility that there's some things that are now locked in.
Locked in?
Yep.
Oh, my God.
That we can confirm that people have been asking about for a very long time.
You are going to shit yourself, and that's me speaking to you, not to Ryan.
Yep.
I mean, I'm always half a chance to shit myself.
Yeah, have you had a coffee today?
I have.
I mean, who knows how long we'll last for.
First of all, though, I put in the Patreon on Wednesday just to where people were from
so we could get a bit of an attendance, a bit of a roll call.
They obviously can't reply themselves, but because you're the audio queen, can you just
in their accent just respond to the roll call?
Yep.
Of course.
Joanna Press is from Estonia.
How would she respond?
I don't even know.
Was, like, Eastern European?
Yes, I'm here.
Was that too much like Borat?
Yes, I'm here.
Julia.
Okay.
Joanna is her name.
Joanna.
And I'm sure she doesn't regret being a Patreon at all.
Sorry, Joanna. I'll send you a message and apologise.
You deserve it. Tyler is from Phoenix.
Phoenix, Arizona. Hi, I'm Tyler and I'm, no, I keep
going like basic LA Cali girl. Yeah. Yeah. Which is not who
Tyler, oh, Tyler. Basic LA Cali girl. Yeah. Yeah. Which is not who Tyler. Oh, Tyler.
Basic L.A. Cali.
No, but like not.
There would be similarities.
Oh, okay.
All right.
If I know Tyler and I think I do.
Phoenix, Arizona. It's kind of like where Bella is supposed to be from on Twilight.
Arizona.
I'm Tyler and I'm here for the meeting.
Was that the same?
It's the same voice that I did.
You just said the same thing.
That's pretty good though.
That makes, yep.
I'll send you an apology as well, Tyler.
Elena is from Granada in Spain.
Olé, I am here for the meeting.
Ange is from Bona Ferry in Idaho.
Oh, yeah.
I'm Ange and I'm here for the meeting.
That's a Bona Ferry.
And last one, Jeremy is from Gibraltar.
Where?
Gibraltar. Where's Gibraltar?
Just below Gibraltar North?
How the fuck do I know? You're the audio queen.
Where's Gibraltar? Let me Google it.
I don't even know where that is. Is that embarrassing?
No, because I don't either.
I feel like it's Europe.
Okay, just doing some live Googling.
Live Googling, live brainstorm.
Ryan, you really should have organised this.
Well, I thought you would know.
Well, mate, you know that I don't know anything about anything.
Okay, I've mistyped Gibraltar into Google and said,
did you mean Janet's stock feed?
Oh, well, yeah, at the stock feed shop.
Yep, I'm at the stock feed shop and I'm ready to go.
Sorry, Jeremy.
Sorry, mate. Tony will also send an apology to you. Yep, I'm at the Stock Feed Shop and I'm ready to go. Sorry, Jeremy. Sorry, mate.
Tony will also send an apology to you.
Yep, so a lot of apologies coming left, right and centre.
That is actually not what this TARP shareholder meeting is for.
For apologising?
It isn't.
No, it's a live brainstorm.
We're all kind of getting on board.
Yep.
But, like, I feel like I'm in a bit of a flap.
And on the way here.
Yeah, what happened, mate?
Are you okay?
Yeah.
So I got in a bit of a flap and on the way here. Yeah, what happened, mate? Are you okay? Yeah. So I got in the lift.
I was running out the door because I very quickly finished my day job.
Yep.
Quickly got ready and then jumped in, was going to jump in the car.
And you know when you're on your way out of the door
and you really need the last check yourself out in the lift?
Yep.
You're like, one more look is all I need and then I'll be sweet.
Fly up to these match.
Is it all good?
Yep, all good.
Then I jump in the lift.
It's full of people and I'm like, fuck,
I'm not going to be able to check myself out one last time.
Yeah.
Then they all exit and I get back in the lift to go all the way down
to the basement.
Yeah.
And this lovely old man, who I've seen in the building a lot of times,
kind of walks into the lift as well and he kind of shuffles in like quite slowly.
But are you like, hey, I'm in a hurry.
I've got to check myself out.
This isn't what I need right now.
I'm kind of in a hurry.
Yeah.
And he says, can I get in the lift with you?
And he's lovely like I've spoken to him before.
I was like, yeah, I'm going down though I'm not going up.
You know how the lift like goes?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he goes.
I know how lifts work.
Yeah, well, okay.
I'm in a flat.
And he goes.
You know how sometimes they hop, sometimes they go down? Yeah, yeah. They never I'm in a flat. And he goes. You know how sometimes they are?
Sometimes they go down?
Yeah, yeah.
They never go sideways, though.
And that gets me going.
Oh, you've never met Willy Wonka's lift.
Yeah, the glass elevator, of course.
He walks in and he goes, that's okay.
I've just gotten out of hospital.
Oh.
And I go, that's okay.
That's okay?
Isn't Tony?
Oh, thanks for fucking letting me know.
I actually wasn't sure if me being in excruciating pain was fine,
but I'm glad you've let me know that it's fine.
I let him know that it's okay, that he's just come out of hospital.
I would have thought maybe, oh, sorry to hear that.
Are you okay?
You must be so glad to be home.
I thought about 50 lovely things to say when I was in the car,
but not one thing while I was in the lift.
I said, it's okay, and I smiled.
Like he was doing you a favour by letting you get a lift to the car.
And then so we go all the way down and he like kind of shuffles out of the way
and I walk out and he goes, drive safely in the weather, won't you?
And I said, thanks, you too.
Fucking hell.
Fucking hell, man.
Are you right?
Like an honest to God mess of a time for me.
He's not driving anywhere.
No, but also he's just gotten home from hospital,
so he's not even going out.
No.
Like it's not as if it's like, oh, he's getting a taxi.
He's not going anywhere.
Did you ask him what he had done?
No, I didn't because I was so fucking embarrassed.
Did you show any concern for him?
No, I didn't.
And I didn't even check myself out, so who knows what I'm wearing? I like those shoes. Yeah, mate, you say that
every... No, you look good. Is it okay? Yeah, let me be your lift mirror.
My last check? Yeah, I'm last check. Next time, if I don't get a last check,
I'll just FaceTime you and I'll just give you the once over and be like, how's this going?
It would be an honour to be your last check. I appreciate that. Because back in the day when I hit the clubs, I was
other people's last resort. So it's sort of my area to know what I'm doing, right?
Well, I could have let you know it's okay if you'd just gotten out
of hospital or anything.
I'm here for you.
I've been to hospital many times.
Yep.
And no one's ever approved me getting home.
That's okay.
I can do it for you from now on.
When I got home from a shoulder reconstruction,
mum goes, oh, are you all right?
I'm like, yeah, am I allowed to come in?
She goes, yeah, I'll approve it.
Like, oh, thank God.
Thought I'd have to call Tony to get her permission.
Yeah, I was so worried you weren't going to let me in the house.
She's like, who's Tony?
Am I?
I'll meet her in about 10 years.
Fuck me.
All right, should we get into the business?
Yes.
All right.
Yeah, a bit of preamble, a bit of small chat.
Put that down in the minutes.
Is someone writing down the minutes for this?
We'll have to make sure.
Jeremy in Gibraltar, he said you can just drop around to his place
and pick up the notes afterwards.
He said it's okay.
All right.
Basically.
Basically, we have some plans.
We have some ideas.
We're hoping we can do it.
We're pretty sure with your help we can.
But just let me put it right out there. This ain't in concrete. This is just what we want to do. And like the good,
you know, you've got to keep the shareholders in the loop because-
Exactly. You're our investors.
Yeah. But all jokes aside is we just want to be like honest and say, here's what we want to do.
Totally.
Just not drop bombs later on.
Yeah.
Not that we'd be dropping bombs.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, what am I talking about? My God. We'll just surprise people. I'll just be like, hey, we're all doing. Totally. And just not drop bombs later on. Yeah. Not that we're dropping bombs. What are you talking about? Yeah, what am I talking about?
My God.
We'll just surprise people.
I'll be like, hey, we're all doing this together.
People have been supporting us the whole way.
We just want to let you in on where we're at.
Yeah, everybody that's listening has been here from the beginning.
So we want to make sure that you get your say.
Yeah.
And that you're across what we want to do.
Put your votes in.
Well, actually, there's no voting really involved.
Isn't there?
Not really.
Well, they'll vote with their feet and their patronage.
That's a fucking good word I just made up because it makes a lot of sense.
Patronamage is what I call it.
That's okay.
I give you permission to speak like a fucking idiot.
All right, so basically two highlights here.
We want to go five days a week.
Five.
And everyone who's a champion tarper may or may not be getting a Tony and Ryan branded
Frank Green water bottle.
Fucking there, I said it.
There's the headlines.
Frank Green water bottle.
I've been in touch with the guys at Frank Green.
They look amazing.
You're going to come.
You are.
Is that a...
You can't just say things at shareholder meetings and I said we're not going to lock it.
I said we had plans and ideas and nothing's for sure.
Okay.
You may potentially come.
All right.
So this is what we want to do.
And this is what we kind of, like, by the start of July, we want to be ready to go.
So here's kind of the things that need to happen before then.
Teamwork.
Teamwork.
Teamwork makes the dream work.
Currently, actually, I need to add an extra side note. Okay. To get
to a fifth episode we're going to need to, how do I say this delicately
free up some of our time. Time is a
hot commodity for us. And we potentially will need a
place to do these episodes. Place would be good.
We'll just delicately mention those things.
Just so that you understand where we're coming from.
Yes.
Okay.
So to be able to do this.
And let's run five episodes.
Every day.
Monday to Friday.
Every day.
Every day.
And we're not talking about like a weird cop-out fifth episode like this one.
Like a legit.
Cop-out?
How dare you?
It's okay.
I Googled Gibraltar for this.
It's okay. It's okay. I Googled Gibraltar for this. It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm giving you permission.
Okay, thank you.
Not a cop out one like this, like a fucking legit episode with an approver and everything.
Five a week.
Five a week.
So this is what we need.
By the end of May, start of June, so we're three or four weeks out now, we need to have
2,000 Patreons to make this happen.
Yes.
The good news is we currently have 1,300 and something.
So we're already way past halfway.
Which is awesome.
We just need people to get involved, get us to 2,000,
and then we'll be able to make some time.
Some time.
Hopefully no one from work listens to this.
Make some space to do the things and then we'll be good to go.
Yeah.
So because we need Patreons, this is where we need, like,
game show music.
Tony, what are the Patreons going to get?
I feel like a showgirl.
I love it.
So at the moment we have how many?
There's three.
There's four, but no one has chosen the four.
No, that's fair enough.
Okay, so our three main tiers of gifts.
Is it gifts?
Of tiers of Patreons.
Yeah, gifts.
But what do you get?
Yeah, things that you get.
Gifts.
So if you become a tarpa, which is like $4 a month, Australian,
you get to sign up to do the approval.
So you can book in a time to approve an episode.
You can also vote on the movies we watch every week.
And we'll love you forever.
We'll love you forever.
Which is a pretty good deal.
And you'll know that you're helping us get to five days a week.
So you get five episodes a week.
Now, the next one is the exclusive tarpa.
So you get everything that I just mentioned.
Yep. Now, the next one is the exclusive tarpa. So you get everything that I just mentioned plus.
Plus you're going to get invitations to a monthly shareholder meeting,
which is going to be like a Zoom or a Google Hangout
or a live stream on YouTube, something where you can actually be a part of it.
Comment and we can chat.
And we're going to mix around the time zone so we're not like fucking off
Eastern Europe like we do with the approvals because every time someone
who is approving from the UK, they're like, oh, yeah.
It's 4 a.m.
Yeah.
So we'll rotate every month.
But every month it's just going to be us.
Yeah.
We'll do a little live stream.
That'd be sweet.
You'll also, and I'm excited about this.
I'm excited about this as well.
Yeah.
The exclusive tapas will also receive a weekly blog from the desk of Tony Lodge.
Name pending.
Yes.
Well, I think it might be fun to do like because it's a blog.
But imagine if we played on the idea of a newspaper.
I like that.
And it was like the Tapa Telegraph or the Tapa Times or the Tapa Times with Tony Lodge.
Now, will you be including some casual recommendations? TARPA Telegraph or the TARPA Times or the TARPA Times with Tony Lodge.
Now, will you be including some casual recommendations?
Because I know you've been off the boil there for about six months.
Oh, maybe some recommendations.
I reckon also just weird takes on things.
If Ryan does something.
I was thinking I could do like, you know how in the newspaper sometimes they do,
what's it called, like a champion piece about somebody.
They do like a profile.
A profile.
I could do a profile on you.
I thought that would be quite fun.
Every month.
Yeah.
So Ryan gets to have a coffee again.
Great guy.
Yeah.
I mean, don't oversell the blog.
Okay.
Sorry.
Well, it's a work in progress.
It's a work in progress.
And also the exclusive tapas will be received. We don't exactly know how this will work,
but some kind of bloopers behind the scenes.
There's a lot of in-the-bedroom jokes that don't make it to the pod for,
what would you say, rating legal reasons.
But we're kind of looking at an unedited,
off-the-editing-room-floor kind of behind-the-scenes kind of vibe
that only you will get.
Yeah.
And just kind of like more fun videos and stuff
of like Ryan looking like, fuck it, I don't work.
Yeah, yeah, just that kind of gear.
Because at the moment there is like a bonus episode,
but now everyone's going to get the bonus.
So now you get a blog and the behind the scenes stuff,
and I mean, how good's this?
I think that's pretty good.
Can I join?
Are you not already joined?
Oh, no, I am.
I am.
Do you believe in this or not? Do you want to go five days a week? No, no, I am. I am. Do you believe in this or not?
Do you want to go five days a week?
No, yes, I do.
It doesn't sound like you do.
Oh, I'm a champion tarper.
I can't wait to get my Franklin water bottle.
Wow, let us get to that next level, the champion tarpers,
which is the second top tier.
There is the chief tarp officer.
But this is the top real tier.
You get everything we already mentioned,
like literally every single thing that we already mentioned.
Approvals, voting on movies.
You get to come to the shareholder meetings.
You get the weekly blog.
You get the best bits, not best bits, behind the scenes,
literally the worst bits.
You get the worst bits in the videos and stuff.
But you will also get.
The champion type of shout outs that we do in the middle of every episode.
We pick a few every
ep. A personalised video when you
join, which is
pretty good. And here, do we have
like a drum roll or something? Do I want to play that same thing again?
Yep.
No, it's just not right, is it? No, it's not.
Who wants to be
a millionaire?
Yeah.
Tony, if you are a champion tarper by the 1st of June,
so everyone who's already a champion tarper and people who join this month
and get on board from June 1, if you are a champion tarper,
what will you receive?
A Tony and Ryan podcast branded Frank Green water bottle.
Yep.
I've been making, okay, that's getting pretty close.
I've been making a lot of phone calls.
I've been testing designs.
I've been weighing things on figuring out how the fuck to ship it.
When you ship stuff, it's like, what's the weight?
And the Frank Green are made of ceramic.
They are.
They're very high quality.
I've got, I was going to say prototype, but this is just a regular Frank Green bottle.
It's just a bottle.
But it's looking great.
And I'm actually, well, I'll say I'm a little bit embarrassed because you might remember very early on in the podcast,
I did a deal with Red Rooster.
Oh, yeah, I forgot about them.
And they forgot about us, obviously.
Has that been an ongoing partnership?
No, it hasn't.
Not as we expected it would be.
No.
But that's okay.
We don't need them because we've got our papas, our tapas.
Love that phrase.
We've got our poppers.
Our tarpers.
Love that phrase.
I did some deals and I organised some uddies and some hats from Red Rooster.
And some cheesy nugs.
You have hit the ball out of the park on this one.
Thank you. You really have.
And I can't wait to see it come off.
Can't wait to have a fucking water bottle in my hot little hands.
And also, I'm going to have to come up with something
awesome to one-up you in the future.
No, you can just let me be the best. Okay, yeah, actually
I approve. I will allow that. That's fine.
I'll allow it as well.
So, by signing up, and now this is
the bad thing for, not that we're a business
even though we have shareholders, it's a murky situation.
Someone called us out on that. They were like,
considering you don't have a business, the fact you've got shareholders
is fucking interesting. And I was like, well, fair point.
Character assassination.
It is actually cheaper to sign up to be a Patreon than it is to just go
buy the Frank Graham water bottle.
Oh, yeah, if you're a champion tar part,
it's cheaper than it would be to actually go get it.
So from our end, fuckheads.
From your end, it's great.
It's great purchasing.
Yeah, it's awesome for you.
It's awesome for you.
But they will be a limited run.
Like it's not something you'll be able to go out and buy.
No.
Possibly at this stage.
No.
All right.
So there it is.
Can I play the music again?
Yep.
It's good.
So.
We're already more than halfway.
I think that's the important thing to pass out, to point out.
Shui?
Shui?
What is Shui?
Oh, my.
I'm actually so excited about the water bottle that I can't think about anything.
Pay money for this podcast.
Neither of us can fucking talk today.
Love that for us. So we'll keep you updated. Like I said, we're already more
than halfway and once we get to 2000, jeez I fucking hope no one from our workplaces
listens to this. Once we get to 2000, we'll be
in a position to make some more time for ourselves and have a place of
our own to be able to do this every day.
Just play it cool.
Play it cool.
So basically that's what we want to do.
That's what we hope we can do.
And we just want to, I guess, be honest and go that's, I mean,
fingers crossed.
If not, we'll, you know, maybe later and we'll figure something out. This is where we're at at the moment.
This is where we're at and this is we're just like so close.
Yeah, because we want to be honest because we love you.
We love everybody that listens, all of our TARPA family.
All of them?
Yes, every single one.
Actually, for me, just most of them.
Oh, I love every single one.
I'm off a few.
Well, you can take that up with them.
I love all of them.
I'm off Smosh Modgers.
No, don't say that.
Don't say that.
This is not anything to do with Smosh Modgers,
and actually he is part of the Patreon,
so at the moment he's helping us get to the five episodes.
We've got a few issues.
And Josh Richards.
No, all good.
And that guy who called me out.
This is fake news.
That guy who called me out the other day about,
because he wanted to be in Wicked and I was.
Oh.
No, I'm off him as well.
When I asked people where they were from so I could do a roll call,
someone, and I said, and what's your town known for?
Someone said, I'm from Canberra and our town is known for loose units
filling in in musicals for one-line extravaganzas,
and she doesn't like that.
Sorry you're upset about that.
But aside from those 50 people we just named, we love all of you.
We're so glad that you're a part of it and hopefully.
I'm also off the big deal, sister.
Okay, all right.
And hopefully, can you stop?
She apparently got in before the big deal and now I don't know where she's at.
Okay.
She needs to leave.
At the beginning of this podcast, we were 1,300.
We were over halfway.
We're now at 700 because a lot of people have just.
Only 1,300 to go.
All right.
So that is the state of play.
Oh, like that.
That was a nice phrase.
Yeah, is that a sport term?
No, I think sometimes it's sometimes used in like when politicians do like the state of the nation.
Oh.
Like the prime minister or president comes on the TV and goes, here's where we're at.
Like we're about to go to war or there's a big announcement.
Like during COVID how there was heaps of those.
Yeah, the state of the nation.
Are we in lockdown?
This is our state of the nation.
And we're not being locked down.
We're being freed, baby.
We're freed, yeah.
But we hope that you like what we have on offer.
Go away and deliberate.
You've got until May 30.
This month.
This month. Yeah, this until May. This month. 30.
This month.
Yeah, this month if you join up.
Yeah, by the time.
How many days are in May?
Why would you ask?
January, February, March, April, May.
Is it 31?
Yeah, it's 31.
By the 31st of May, that's when we're going to see where we're at.
And if your name is on the Champion tarpaulist by that date,
that's when we'll.
You get a Frank Green water bottle.
It'll be the lock off date for the Frank Green water bottles.
Question.
Question.
An honest answer required.
Not that you would lie, but just straight up.
I've never lied in my life, yep.
What would it mean to you for us to get there and to be all in?
Oh, I've got my period, so I feel like I'm really emotional.
Okay, it's an answer that didn't match the question I asked.
Yeah.
This, how cheesy can I go?
Is cheesy okay?
Yeah.
This, doing this with you, has honestly been such a dream.
It is so much fucking fun, and I can't believe how many people listen
and tune in and share their stories every single week.
Especially in those, Jane.
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
I'm rubbing my leg for anybody that can't see, which is everybody.
And so the thought of being able to every single day fucking lock this in and know that
this is what my job is actually fucking turns me inside out.
Like I cannot even imagine what that's like.
And I really hope we can get
to that point because I would love to do this as my job.
What a dream come true.
What a dream.
Like an actual dream come true.
So, yeah, that's what it means to me.
What about you?
Same question?
Yeah, I mean it's I always say to people, if you're trying to get permission from other people,
the radio station won't give me a slot.
The TV station won't give me a show.
If only we had the opportunity.
And I say to everyone, just do it yourself and go all in
and see what happens.
And I think this sounds like really weird,
but it's like we're proving that that's true.
Like a lot of people said no to us many times about shows we wanted to do.
You were a producer for ages and everyone was like,
Tony's funny, give her a show, and they didn't.
And so for you to kind of go, fuck you, I'll make it myself,
is kind of not in a dick way, but it just feels really nice.
It feels really nice.
And I'm glad that people have just jumped on board and come along with us.
And for me, that's the like, yeah, we just decided to do this thing
and people are going to come along with us.
And we just want to do the fuck out of it.
Yeah.
Like if we're able to.
Put that in the PR.
We just want to do the fuck out of it.
Miss Lodge said she'd love to do the fuck out of it.
But it's true.
Like we just want to fucking, we want to be in here making stuff,
doing fun shit, and we can't do it without you guys already.
So this is why we wanted to come to you,
let you know exactly what we want to get out of it,
and fucking do the fuck out of it.
I've got goosebumps.
Oh, I'm so pumped.
Should we make out?
Yeah, I thought we were going to.
Yeah, great.
I just wanted to confirm.
Do you want to play the scary music again?
And we'll be making out in.
Fuck.
Oh.
Don't get your tongue that deep.
No, just kidding.
We're not making out.
Thanks for clarifying. but that is it is what
it is we've set our pace go off and deliberate and hopefully we'll see you with five fucking
episodes after july and either way we'll chat to you on monday yeah we'll be back on monday um i
feel like we end every episode with a you love to see it and we haven't organised one for this episode
because it wasn't a real episode.
How dare you say that?
But it feels a bit weird not ending with it, right?
What do you love to see, Toni?
I love to see those shoes on you.
Thank you, mate.
I love them too.
I really like them as well.
Not that good for the podcast, obviously, because no one can see them.
No.
But I love to see exactly what we just said,
the fact that we get to do this, kind of run our own ship
and just, you know, crowdfund.
Crowdfund.
It feels pretty Indian cool, right?
It does.
It really does.
It feels like we're doing crowdfunding for an indie film.
Yeah. What I love to see is the, actually, two does. It really does. It feels like we're doing crowdfunding for an indie film. Yeah, what I love to see
is the, actually
two things. Two things. The change
in Tony Lodge. The first change
being that when you rocked up today, there weren't
any car parks, so you just parked in someone else's space.
The old Tony would not have done that.
The laissez-faire whatever
attitude, the cavalier if
you will, is just, it's great to
see. I can thank you, babe.
I can't believe you, and should I say who you parked in?
The Epworth.
The Epworth Hospital.
Oh, no, but it's not the, no, that makes it sound like I parked in the ambulance, babe.
It's the office, it's the corporate office of the hospital.
Oh my god, I didn't park in a...
I just parked in the emergency.
The emergency surgeon can't fucking get in for surgery because my yaris is in their spot.
Now, what has worked out to be one of the great coincidences of my life
is because you're the captain of the ship
and we're now all in, which is like a high-risk game.
Yeah.
Who goes down with the ship?
What do you mean?
Like, it's a big risk if we're going all in. Yeah mean? Like, if it doesn't, like, it's a big risk
if we're going all in.
Yeah.
So what happens
if it doesn't go?
We'll figure it out.
We're all good.
Well, the captain
goes down with the ship.
That's what I was going to say.
Oh, so I've got to
go down on you.
What?
No, with the ship.
Oh, like Titanic.
Yeah.
Oh, we'll both fit
on that big door.
We're fine.
Well, I don't need to worry
because I'm not the captain
and I can do as I please.
My name's on the paperwork. Yeah. Okay. You know what? I'll figure it out., I don't need to worry because I'm not the captain. I can do as I please. My name's on the paperwork.
Yeah.
Okay.
You know what?
I'll figure it out.
You are the captain of this ship.
I'm just the buddy to your bread, mate.
I'll cop that.
We'll figure it out.
We'll figure it out.
We go down, we're all good.
Nothing bad's ever come out of going down.
I've said it.
Well, it's funny you mention that because next week I'm literally doing a segment called
Roadhead Tragedies.
You know how we heard that one last week?
Yeah.
People sent follow-ups of like, oh, here's my bad head injury.
And by head injury, I mean injury.
So when you said, what's the worst that can happen?
Oh, what a hook.
All right.
Well, fake news from me, but we're back again next week,
four episodes until you get us to the five.
So we've teased you with this fifth episode.
What day will we chat to you on?
Monday.
Oh, meow day.
Sorry for missing that cue.
You're right there, mate.
We're not off to a good start.
Thank you, shareholders.
Love you.
Bye.
