Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the podcast. My name is Brian, Vice Captain of the ship. Over here is our captain, our muscles, author, Tony Lodge, and we are calling Portland. We love Portland. It's actually in Maine. And I think I've said Oregon about 15 times and just realized I've been wrong the whole time. But this is Natalie. Same area, same corner of the country. Or maybe it's a different Portland. It's a different Portland. It's a different one. Yeah, I'm just kidding. Hello? Hello, Natalie? Yeah, hello. Hi, Natalie. It's Tony and Ryan. Hi. Natalie, it says you're from Portland. It's not the Portland. It's a Portland in Maine. Is that
Starting point is 00:00:42 correct? Yeah. So there are two Portlands. Alright, well, America needs to think of some original names. Yeah, well, they've got 20 Springfields. Will you approve this podcast? Of course! Yay! Legend! Hi, it's Natalie from Portland
Starting point is 00:00:59 in Maine, and I approve this podcast. All right, coming up today, we go into the green room behind closed doors with Toni Lodge, who's about to do her audition for the National Youth Girls Choir. Yeah. With the end goal of being in the Quintessat singing I Still Call Australia Home. That's my dream. You used to be in the choir as a child. I did. I was the choir captain.
Starting point is 00:01:34 And the audition's coming up. Yeah. So soon. We'll go backstage and you'll get to hear that. But first, actually, I'm going to have to start this with a warning. A warning? Why? You're about to hear a man go through a range of emotions,
Starting point is 00:01:48 question everything he believed in and possibly have a mental breakdown. Are you going to church? No, but I might have to. I might have to. Take me to church. It's all been my fault. I'm sorry. I'll take my days and you can show me good night.
Starting point is 00:02:04 I believe that Do you know that song was one of my love deceits in the first five episodes? Yes, I do. And every time I hear that, I'm like, Ryan loves his song. The acoustic version. The acoustic version, sorry. I love that we both go, I believe it. Yeah, very good.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Is there anything more exciting in this world than meeting someone and then you figure out you've both got the same birthday? Literally my mind is just flooded with all the people I've ever met with the same birthday as me. It shouldn't be that exciting, but you meet someone and you're like, oh, me too. This is like great. We're in this exclusive little club.
Starting point is 00:02:41 How many people could be in it? It turns out one in 365. But how many people are in this cool exclusive club? I was literally about to be like, what would the odds be? But, yep, you're right. Okay. I'm going to up the ante here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Ever met someone same day, same month, same year? Because I have. Really? Yes. Who was it? Yeah. A girl, Isabella, who I went to uni with. And on the – see how excited I am.
Starting point is 00:03:07 And we went to uni, and she was doing, like, studying something else, but she was, like, in my, like, cohort. And, yeah, and she goes, oh, my God. Like, I don't know how it fucking came up, but started doing that. Oh, my birthday's at the end of the year. Oh, what month? Oh, me too. What day?
Starting point is 00:03:21 Oh, me too. What year? And then you go, oh, my God, are you a 93, baby? She goes, yeah. And it's so exciting. It's thrilling. It's like high octane fun. I played volleyball with Dave DeLayland, who we've talked about a few times on this podcast before. And he's born on the same day as me. And every time I say my good day 28th, he's like, sup 28th. And that was 10 years later. Same year? No, he's a year older. Oh, so not quite as exciting as mine. Two years older at school.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Not quite as exciting as mine. How is he two years older at school? Because did they do the like half a year thing? Like instead of it being like January to December, it was like June to July or whatever? Well, being on the 28th, sometimes that cutoff was like. The cutoff, you know what I mean? So I always thought these coincidence chats
Starting point is 00:04:03 and birthday chats were fun. And then I'm listening to a podcast by Seth Godin, right, who's like this amazing marketing brain, like a prolific author, very niche, but like I love this guy. He's very, very smart. Yep. And he tells this story. And remember Double Ganger Week?
Starting point is 00:04:24 Double Ganger Week. Like on Facebook, everyone posted who they were. Double Ganger. Yeah. What's Double Ganger? It's Double Ganger. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a famous person that looks like you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Remember that was like a week, like 10 years ago on Facebook. And you'd make it your profile photo. Yeah. I never did one. But everyone's like posting these hot as fuck actresses and you're like, babe. Oh, yeah, you don't look like Anne Hathaway. So Seth Godin is like an old guy. He's a bald guy.
Starting point is 00:04:46 He wears glasses. And he said that during Doppelganger Week, he finds out about this social justice lawyer in Brazil who's like his long-lost twin. Oh. Yeah. And he's like he's got the same glasses, same bald head, like similar stature.
Starting point is 00:05:01 And he was like, oh, it's Doppelganger Week. My doppelganger is this guy from Brazil. Oh, my God. And he made a whole podcast about it. Well, because Seth Godin's a blogger, his and he was like, oh, it's Doppelganger Week. My doppelganger is this guy from Brazil. Oh, my God. And he made a whole podcast about it. Well, because Seth Godin's a blogger, his daily blog was like, oh, an industry trend, cultural fad is this Doppelganger Week. By the way, my doppelganger is this guy from Brazil. Seriously, though, he's doing some great work.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Here's his Twitter thing if you want to find out more about him. Oh, that's cool, yeah. The next day he travels to Germany from his house in New York to sit down to watch an orchestra, and guess who sits next to him? The Brazilian social justice lawyer sits down right next to him and goes, oh, we do look the same. Thanks for the blog post, by the way. Shut the front door.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Isn't that fucking crazy? Come on my face and call me a cupcake. And how. So anyway, so I'm listening to this podcast with Seth Godin, and I am as shooketh as we are in this room when I was listening to it in the car yesterday. That's insane, isn't it? That's a great story.
Starting point is 00:05:58 But then something happens. No. Seth Godin goes, this is on the podcast, but coincidence chat is the same as dream chat. No one gives a fuck except for you. And I, for the first time in my life, said, no, Seth Godin. I'm into this. You're wrong.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Your story's sick. Coincidence chat is sick. And then could you just describe yesterday we're in the office and I said I think I want to talk about coincidences. Can you describe the atmosphere? All of us got lit up. We were excited. How good is this? So I was like, all right, tarpers.
Starting point is 00:06:32 It's like I said about the birthday thing. Instantly all the people you've ever had the same birthday. Yeah. Tarpers, tell me your crazy coincidence story, not just because I want to hear it, but to prove just how fascinating it is to hear other people's coincidences story. Mate, you're pointing that finger. You're getting loud.
Starting point is 00:06:48 We all think it's cool. You actually don't need to prove it. Do you want to take a knee for a second? Take a little sip because we are as excited as you are. I think it's amazing. I just rifled off that story about Isabella. I'm still thinking about that. Producer Cam's got his hand up because he's like,
Starting point is 00:07:05 I've met someone with the same birthday as me. We're all into it. So I wake up this morning and there's like 200 comments on the post and I was like, see? 200 coincidences. This is a fucking big thing. People love this stuff. Because people like talking about themselves.
Starting point is 00:07:19 I mean, I've got a podcast with my own name on it. How good is this? Yes. We're all revved up. I knew coincidence stories would be awesome. Fuck yeah. Until I read them. Oh.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Are they crap coincidences? Or just, I feel like, do you know what it is? I think that the Seth Godin story of the, you know, the doppelganger thing and then sitting down together, that is insane, right? You've set the bar so high for yourself that then obviously it was, you know. Chloe Diamond. Hi, Chloe.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Thanks so much for sharing your story with us before Ryan fucking ripped you apart in a minute. I'm born on the same day, just the day number, not the month or year. That's my cousin. Oh, lift. Lift. Don't drink water, Camden. They're getting worse.
Starting point is 00:08:11 He's just fucking spattle over the desk. Lift. And at this point, I'm still like, oh, not a good start, but like, no, I'm still fucking, this is going to be great. Well, did you say her name was Chloe? Yep. God, she just must get nothing done at uni.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Everyone's called Chloe, aren't they? Yeah. Ben Twig. The Big Twig. The Big Twig. I have the same birthday as Shaquille O'Neal and we both don't like spicy food. Crazy, right? That isn't crazy.
Starting point is 00:08:40 I actually won't give that a crazy. You know what I mean? You know how some things are crazy? That's not crazy. Okay. won't give that a crazy. You know what I mean? You know how some things are crazy. That's not crazy. Okay. Chloe hasn't helped me out. The big twig is not helping. I mean, the big twigs is closer than Chloe.
Starting point is 00:08:54 They're just the same day. They're something, oh, my God, my name starts with the same letter as Chanel, the brand. That's not interesting. Jay lives in Gippsland and he restores and makes chairs. And he goes, I was at the local barber and it turns out when I sat in the chair that we had repaired it once. That's no coincidence.
Starting point is 00:09:15 That's your job. How many chair restoring places are there in Gippsland? Gippsland, yeah. Say if you're a chair restorer in New York and, there's what, billions of chairs in New York. That's pretty crazy. You're a plumber. You'll never guess. There's a toilet in my house.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Yeah, but keep saying, there's what, five chairs? You know, you probably fixed all of them. Crazy coincidence, right? Not really, no. It's not bad. Jay-Z isn't bad, but it's probably not really good. Sorry, I've got the hiccups because. Finally.
Starting point is 00:09:52 And I was like, all right, Hayley Simpson. Oh, there's only one more. Hayley Simpson, let me guess. There's a really famous family with my last name. You might have heard of that. Every day at 6 o'clock, I turn on the bloody TV and wouldn't you guess it, there's me. Bloody name on the TV.
Starting point is 00:10:13 So I thought, okay, the big twig, Chloe J, haven't helped me out. I know that Hayley Simpson's going to bring it home and she's going to make me think that, no, this is interesting. This is worthy of its own segment. And Seth Godin can fuck himself. Hayley Simpson. I once met a guy who thought he might've known my brother. What?
Starting point is 00:10:48 You wouldn't read about it? Well, you would because I did in the comment section last night. Hang on. I need a moment. I once, hang on. I once met a guy who thought he knew my brother. I'm trying. I'm trying.
Starting point is 00:11:14 I'm crying. She would have been better going with the Simpsons. I'm sorry. Dear brother, yeah, maybe I... Yeah, is his name Bart? I think I've heard of him. Fuck. I think I'm going to have to stop doing this podcast. No. I quit.
Starting point is 00:11:45 Please tell me. How many comments were there? There was 257. Producer Cam, write this down. We're doing this again next week. That's great. I love it. And the coincidence is that we're doing it again.
Starting point is 00:11:59 What a coincidence. We did this last week. I've never laughed that out of my life. That's awesome. That's great. A tick of approval from me. Hi, it's Natalie from Portland in Maine, and you're listening to Tony and Ryan.
Starting point is 00:12:32 A massive shout out to a few of our champion tapas over at Patreon and you wouldn't believe it. These are all champion tapas at the same time. What a coincidence. Will Johnston, Oliver Fox, Samantha Bruner, Matthew Chu and Riley Clemmings. They all listen to the same podcast. Call your mum. Let them know.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Great coincidence. So previously, Tony has expressed her desire to be in the National Youth Girls Choir. That I wanted to be in it for the Qantas ad. Yeah, and we've organised Tony an audition. And what you're about to hear is Tony and I chatting before the audition because we wanted to have a chat pre. It might sound a bit shit because we're like in the green room. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:11 And someone, not pointing anyone, may not have set it all up correctly, but this is us. Producer Cam. No, it actually wasn't him. It wasn't him. Was it you? Did you fuck this up? No.
Starting point is 00:13:20 If it doesn't sound perfect, that's because we're in the green room with Tony about to go into the audition. Here we go. All right. I want you listening to this podcast to think about. Can you tell I'm on it? Like I'm on it. It's like.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Well, I can now. Yeah. Tony's nervous. I want you to think about what was your childhood dream? Was it to be a star basketball player, a dancer, the best chef in the world? I don't know if I've ever told this story on the podcast before, but when I was a kid, I really wanted to own my own $2 shop.
Starting point is 00:13:55 That was like my dream because it was the only times tables I knew. So I knew that no matter who came in, I'd be able to give them the correct change because I'd be able to figure out, yes, I really need to own a $2 shop. Here's my seven items. Yeah. $2, $4, $6, $8, $10, $12, $14. Cool.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Here's $50. Cool. So I'll give you $36 change. You would be a good $2 shop owner. Took me a while to figure out how much it would cost, but I knew the change instantly. I'm a genius. I hope $2. I'm actually a prodigy potentially.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Don't know. What's the definition of a prodigy? I don't know. Can you be an adult prodigy also? That's just a prodigy. Oh, okay. Prodigy, what is it, like untapped genius? Mate, you're tapped.
Starting point is 00:14:48 The reason, I mean, turns out tony had two dreams because over the last few weeks we've heard that you wanted to be in the national children's choir there's it turns out there's a few different variations like the girls want the boys want everything yeah but in australia there's these really iconic tv ads by quantus airways and it's all the kids from the choir and they're like in beautiful landmarks. They're all around the city and they're singing I Still Call Australia Home and every person that grows up in Australia knows these ads. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:15 And Tony, you're the choir captain? I was a choir captain in school, yes. But you were told by your mum that girls from Western Australia weren't allowed. Yeah. She told me that, yeah, it was only on the eastern states that you could do it. Rest in peace.
Starting point is 00:15:28 She's a fucking liar. She's a liar. But we've got you an audition. It's never too late, and that's why. What are the admittance ages? Okay, so they accept people from 10 to, I think it's 15 or 16, but that's like to get in and then you can be in it until, I think it's like 19 or 20.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Ooh. Yeah, but it's sort of, so the idea is if you audition when you're 15, they're not like, oh, but your birthday's next week, fuck it and see you later. Yeah. But that's when you can get in. So how old do you turn this year? I'm 30 this year.
Starting point is 00:16:01 Yeah. So I've just missed the cut off. Yeah, but hey, there's always accept. If Hollywood has taught us anything, you just never year. Yeah. So I've just missed the cutoff. Yeah. But, hey, there's always except if Hollywood has taught us anything, you just never know. You've got to be in it to win it. Sometimes rules are made to be broken. Risk it to get the biscuit. So you've got an audition really soon.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Yeah. And I know it's like being fun and games and you've had a grudge and like blah, blah, blah. But now that we're like about to do it, when was the last time you like sung properly? When I was probably 19. So 10 years ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:34 So how do you think your voice will be? Because a lot of tapas are like just curious. They'll be like, oh, I know Toni used to be a singer. I can't wait to hear her. So after the age of 19, I like spend, you know, a lot of late nights partying. So are you nervous for like, let me do the example of like me if I was to play volleyball today.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Yeah. Because I would be nervous because I'm like, I'm going to look shit. I know I'm better than this. If you're going to see me for the first time, I'd want to be good. Yes. And because like when you talk about playing volleyball, I'm like, oh, you're obviously really talented and that's fucking awesome. But, like, I was.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Yeah. I'm not, like, at that standard anymore. Yeah. So I also have that thing of, like, when you talk in front of a crowd and they're all strangers, it's fine. Yeah. But when you're in, like, a small room and it's other people you know or only a couple, like a handful of people,
Starting point is 00:17:25 that's way worse than speaking to like 1,000 people because public speaking doesn't make me nervous. Like every audition I've ever had, like there's like a little bit of nerves, but it's more just because of the proximity. Like you're right in front of someone. So it's going to be I'm going to be there. Oh, great. Producer Cam's going to be there.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Two familiar faces. And one person from the choir. And then tens of thousands of tapas will hear it on a podcast episode i don't think it's yeah coming up soon next week or so all of the tapas right yeah expecting big things yeah because yeah we've heard you're going to be great i heard you were the captain of the choir but i'm like so now i'm really nervous because what if they're like oh fuck she's not really that good like no wonder her mom said she couldn't audition because she knew she wouldn't get in do you know what i Like, that's probably more what I'm worried about.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Are you wearing that? So I thought I'd wear this fancy outfit. Yeah, can you describe it to us? So it's like a long-sleeved dress with a collar. It feels very proper. Yeah, it feels quite professional. But then obviously I'm wearing, like, sneakers and high socks on the bottom because I'm cool.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Yeah. Now, we got to choose some songs. I actually, like, really need to wee and I'm just feeling, like, quite overwhelmed. So the other – thank you for sharing. A few weeks ago we said the Patreons can decide what you're going to sing. I picked two songs, which was WAP and Milkshake.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Yeah, and I thought they weren't very respectful of the choir. A lot of people agreed in the comments. Yeah, great. And then you chose Pie Jester. P-A-E-A-Y-Z, yes. And Kelly Clarkson, Since You've Been Gone. Because classic audition song from Pitch Perfect. Is it true that you came into the office the other day and said,
Starting point is 00:18:56 and I quote, fuck the taffas, I'm having second thoughts about Kelly Clarkson, can I ditch it? Because that won the vote. Yeah. Is that true? Why? Because I had so many other songs that I thought I can slay these, no problem.
Starting point is 00:19:09 And then I was like, oh, but Kelly Clarkson's kind of funny because of Pitch Perfect. Yeah. But then I was like, fuck, that probably actually wasn't the best choice vocal-wise. Is it like it just doesn't allow you to show off your voice or it's restrictive or like? Yeah, I just don't think it's really me.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Yeah. Because there was another song I really wanted to do that actually someone in the comments on Patreon was like, oh, my God, Tony, my go-to audition song was this Bonnie Raitt song, which is one of my mum's favourite songs. And I was like, that was literally on my list, but I thought that everyone would be like, well, I don't know that, so I'm not going to pick it, you know?
Starting point is 00:19:42 So I went with Kelly Clarkson because I thought, you know, but it just goes to show what is popular is not always right. And that's a real political statement for me. You said you're nervous. I'm really nervous. Do you need to like, like what do you do to get yourself in the zone? And I'm sorry that I've got nothing else to compare this to, but if I had like a big volleyball game, I feel like because you've,
Starting point is 00:20:04 by the time you like do a full proper warm-up,'d probably warm up really hard so by the time you're like sweating and you touch the ball 50 times you kind of like you kind of like burn through the nerves so but what what's your version so um this is gonna make everyone sad but it isn't so the last time i had a proper audition my mom was alive and she used to drive me to every single audition that I had and she would always wait in the foyer. And so our thing was that she would sit in the car with me and I would sing through my set in the car in the car park. So we'd always get there like 40 minutes beforehand.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Classic Lodge. Classic us. Mother's daughter. Yes. Daughter's mother. You know what I'm saying. That thing. And we'd sit there and I'd sing through my whole set in the car
Starting point is 00:20:46 and she'd go, Tyne, I've heard you rehearse this a million times, like you're going to nail it. And then we'd go in there and she'd be waiting in the foyer and I would go in and I'd come out and I'd go, oh, I don't think it went so well, so that then if I didn't get in, I could go, well, I didn't think it went so hot. And that was like my thing. Would you?
Starting point is 00:21:03 Maybe I should just go downstairs and ask someone if I can sit in their car for a bit. Well, I know because I walked past it this morning. Your Audi's out the front. Yeah, it is. Should we go sit in that? Should I go sit in the car for a minute? Well, not that anyone could replace your beautiful lying mother.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Do you want me to sit in the front? Should you and I go and sit in the car? Yeah. Yeah, you're not sitting in the driver's seat. I thought that was my chance. Here's my chance. Nah, that wasn't working at an angle. You're like, okay, well, we're not fucking sitting in it. Yeah, don't worry. We can go and sit in the car. And then
Starting point is 00:21:32 I'll wait in the foyer. That's nice. And then you can lie to me on the way out and say, oh, I'm not sure. And then you're like, fucking no. But that would always be my thing. But today, what I'm going to do is sit, because the Australian choir lady is coming to us. So what I'm going to do is sit because the Australian choir lady is coming to us. So what I'm going to do is just sit at my desk beforehand and probably put my AirPods in and go.
Starting point is 00:21:54 And have a hot tea. Okay, right. Have a hot tea and then probably just poo. Yeah. Yeah. Because I ate some raw dough last night at my dinner. Why? Like by accident.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Is that what you call them? Because I love soggy food. So I'm always like, oh, take that out of the oven a bit early. And then it was raw. Like cookie dough? No, no, no. It was like, made these like pinwheel things, you know, like, you know. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Like when it's just puff pastry. Okay. So you're feeling a bit doughy as well. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, I'm feeling a bit stodged and I'm feeling a bit like shitty as well. Okay. Well, I just want you to know that you're a great singer and there's muscle memory. But you've never heard me.
Starting point is 00:22:33 I've heard the rumours, mate. But that's the thing. All the tapas expect big things. But muscle memory, like it's one of those, like riding a bike. You're going to get in there. Yep. It's pretty much the same thing. Yep.
Starting point is 00:22:45 That's what Pavarotti said and the famous cyclist. And you were called Tonerotti for a while when you were at the Jason PJ show. I know that you're going to just go and put your best foot forward, which is all you can ask. And I think I speak for Cam and I that if you just go and like give it your best shot we'll be proud of you for having a crack because it's like it's sort of start the fucking blog do the thing at least then you'll know oh it didn't quite work out yeah but i gave it my best shot and what else can i do this is gonna be my new pre-warm-up i don't need sitting
Starting point is 00:23:20 in the car with my lying mother yeah fuck that fuck that outie yeah oh what no don't need sitting in the car with my lying mother. Yeah, fuck that Audi. Yeah. Oh, what? No. Don't put it in there. Yeah, no. You know, that's exactly what I needed. Yeah. I'm just going to do my best. Yeah. And if people on the internet don't like it, fuck them.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Well, I'm pretty sure no one's ever said mean things to you on the internet. Oh, well. Well, good luck. Thank you. All right. And I know all the taffies will be behind you. Thank you. And I think it's not next Monday, the Monday after,
Starting point is 00:23:46 you're going to hear the audition in full on this podcast. Fuck. Good luck. Thank you. All right, what do you love to see? All right, Sammy Hassel. Hi, Sammy. Who is a TARPer from Tasmania.
Starting point is 00:23:58 Oh, a TARPer from Tassie. I love Tasmania. I've never been. Really? Nah. I know we say a lot of times, oh, you should go, but like, you should go. Yeah, I've heard it is stunning. It is stunning.
Starting point is 00:24:10 It's quite cool because you can get the ferry. I was going to say, take your car. It's a great place to drive through the mountains and go for a little adventure and stay in a little tiny, cute house in the cabin. So I didn't know that it took so long. The ferry's like overnight. The boat, they're fucking slow as. But I just didn't know that it was so long. The ferry's like overnight. The boat, they're fucking slow as. But I just didn't know that it was that far maybe.
Starting point is 00:24:29 I don't know because I grew up in WA, right? Oh, Roto's like half an hour on the boat. Yeah, so you go on the boat to Roto and it takes two minutes. Nah. So maybe that's really dumb, I don't know. But I was just like, cool, what does it take? Two hours, three hours? No, overnight.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Yeah, overnight. Like you can book a cabin and stuff. Yeah, overnight. Like, you can book a cabin and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. But, yeah, you can take your car. You can take your animals. Like, you can take a dog. It'd be worth it.
Starting point is 00:24:50 You'd have a great time. Yeah. Go for a cruise. Sammy Hassel lives in Tassie, and she works at the local Woolworths, the supermarket. Oh, might see you down there. And she said it was 30 degrees the other day. We've had some crazy hot weather here in Australia, hey? So hot.
Starting point is 00:25:02 It was over 30, which in Tassie is pretty warm. So our store manager of the Woolworths decided to just leave out a full trolley out the front full of waters and juice boxes for customers and staff to just have whenever they wanted. It was a hot day and you've got to keep hydrated. And he was like, well, you know, what's a couple of juice boxes to us? It seems easy, but... No one's doing that.
Starting point is 00:25:20 It's supposed to be company. Oh, but then we'd have to sign the form and write... No, no, no. The bureaucracy, the red tape. Go grab a trolley, get a couple of bags of ice, put some water bottles in there and juice, just make sure everyone's doing all right because it's a pretty warm day. And you know what? I reckon every single person that went there on this day went, oh, I'll never go to another
Starting point is 00:25:37 Woolies. This is my Woolies. Oh, and cut coals off. Exactly. I'm a Woolies girl now. They're the kind of things, though, that like- You remember that. Yeah. You never forget something dumb like that. Exactly. I'm always going out. They're the kind of things, though, that, like... You remember that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:45 You never forget something dumb like that. It seems so insignificant, but, like, I reckon it's such a big thing. And it says, for the customers and staff. And that's another thing. Yeah. I reckon they'd be like, no, customers only. And the staff are like, oh, we've been working so hard. The staff are like, help me.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Yeah. And they're like, no, customers only. Slap your hand away. Well, Sammy Hassel, you love to fucking see that. Not a hassle. Not a hassle. Thanks for sharing. I love that.
Starting point is 00:26:09 My love to see it is not as beautiful as that. It's a tweet that went a bit viral from Naledi Mashimashi. And it says, I'm tired of people saying, here's my go-to lazy meal. And then they start chopping an onion. No. Don't tell me that that's a lazy meal. You're doing prep. I don't want to hear that.
Starting point is 00:26:30 You know what I want to do? Peel the lid off a Latina fresh and put it in the bloody boiling water. Boiling water? Yeah. This is supposed to be an easy meal, mate. Yeah. Well, I've deleted Uber Eats, as you know. Get DoorDash.
Starting point is 00:26:42 There's no cooking involved in an easy meal. Well, I love to see that, because both of us aren't the chefs in the family. Not the default cook of the household. So when Torbs goes, oh, yeah, do you want to get dinner started? Yeah, you just got to chop up that onion and crush that. I'm like, oh, bro, you've already lost me. What a KFC. Yeah, you've lost.

Starting point is 00:27:41 Grilled is what I order when Torbs isn't home, and when I'm not home, Torbz orders Nando's. Anytime me and Tony are away together, I'll go use Torbz at home having Nando's. Yeah, definitely. All right, that's tomorrow. Love you, bye.
