Hallo?
Antje?
Hi, Toni.
Hi, it's Toni und Ryan. Wie geht's?
Gut, danke. You guys are a bit late.
Oh, scheiße.
I'm supposed to be in my lesson right now.
Oh, sorry. What lesson are you supposed to be in?
It's math in the second grade.
Are you learning second grade math
or are you teaching it?
No, I'm teaching it, actually.
Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
It's okay, it's okay.
I'm just, yeah, I thought so because I know the Aussie,
hey, you know, it's going to be late.
It's like, yeah, okay, it's about an hour later, and I thought so,
so I sent Ryan a message.
But anyway.
I'm so embarrassed by that because I'm never late.
I'm very, I'm so sorry.
I'm sehr, sehr sorry, very sorry.
It's okay, it's okay.
Well, we just wanted to say thank you so much for supporting our podcast.
Danke.
Danke.
And we wanted to say hello to the children learning maths.
Hello.
Obviously, that's probably important for their future.
So good on you.
So thank you so much for being part of the podcast.
I'm very happy to be a part of it because it helps me through all so much traffic in the morning.
And you don't know how many idiots are driving on the streets in the morning at 6.40 in the morning.
It's unbelievable. It's the idiots on the autobahn, isn't it?
Yeah.
There's all of my German knowledge, Deutsch knowledge, expired in one conversation.
You guys, I don't want to be unpolite, but I really have to go back into my
class. No, that's so fine. We'll let you go, but do you mind
quickly approving this podcast before you go?
Absolutely.
Oh, my God.
100%.
Thank you so much, Anshel.
We really, really appreciate it.
Sorry, Willa.
It was Ryan's fault.
Oh, Tony, okay.
Thank you.
Bye.
I really appreciate that you're calling me.
And I'm a very big part of this whole community,
even though I can't be in a Facebook group and stuff.
So, yeah.
We appreciate it so, so much.
Lots of love.
Thanks, Antje.
Bye.
Thank you.
Bye.
I'm Antje from Germany and I approve this podcast.
Just to give you some insight into the brain and intellect of Tony Felicia Lodge, as we count down to the end of 2021,
I said, hey, Tony, maybe me and my wife, Bridget,
you and your partner Torbs, the four of us,
should go and have a really nice dinner somewhere in town
and celebrate a great year and have a few drinks together.
Was that your idea?
It was your idea.
You didn't say that.
You just said, oh, I've been thinking maybe we should do it.
It was my idea.
Well, you said we should go out and celebrate the year.
I said let's combine New Year's and those things and do a thing.
So Tony goes, oh, let me just check my calendar and says,
literally just before we hit record.
Literally just then.
Oh, New Year's is on the 31st this year.
I meant.
Oh, he's a champion.
Oh, look out, we've got a maths quiz.
Our approver teaching a maths class.
Yeah.
I mean, Tony's obviously been paying attention
because she knows her numbers.
I meant to say is on a Friday.
I meant to say like, oh, New Year's Eve is on a Friday,
but I said the 31st and you went normally is.
And it took me like a few seconds to click as well.
And then I was like, that's probably the job I was going to have to say.
All right.
Coming up in a few moments, I had a family funeral the other day.
So sorry, mate.
Thank you for your nice words.
And then I don't know why.
What do you say to that?
Oh, sorry.
You're welcome.
I didn't kill her.
It's not my fault.
No.
But, like, sorry that happened.
Yeah, okay.
But you know when you say, like, oh, someone's passed away
and they go, I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
Well, like, you didn't fucking kill her.
Yeah.
So it's actually right.
You don't need to apologise.
So you don't need to apologise.
What do you say instead?
So you know what I want to say?
What do you want to say?
That's shit.
But you're not supposed to say that.
Let's normalise that.
Let's normalise that.
Can we?
If I said my nana and she lived 100 years.
And fucking bless her, you know.
And then I go, oh, 100 years and her journey ended today
and then you would just love to be able to say.
It's shit. That's shit. Fuck. Let's normal love to be able to say. It's shit.
That's shit.
Fuck.
Let's normalise.
Normal or nah, saying that's shit.
Yeah, because like when I tell people that my mum has passed away, they always go, oh,
and they head tilt.
Oh.
That's what they do.
Yeah.
I'm like, no, I would rather that you went, that's really fucked and I'm sorry you went
through that.
Not I'm sorry she's dead.
You didn't fucking kill her.
Yeah.
So I spoke at Nana's funeral.
Obviously emotions are high.
Very brave of you, yeah.
Something happened afterwards and you're just like, of all days,
I don't want this today.
I'm not ready to mentally handle this.
And when you find out what actually happens.
And your brain is fried at the moment without this extra.
Yeah.
Okay.
So that's in the moment.
But first.
But first, let's talk about fucking in a supermarket.
Actually, though.
May she rest in peace.
Nana, Nana, I'm so sorry.
You've got to laugh.
You've got to laugh.
You've got to laugh.
You don't have to, but we shouldn't.
We should be.
Things you can say in the supermarket and also in the bedroom.
Looks a little past its use by date.
It does not.
Do I have to pay by the kilo?
It's going to cost a lot.
I was going to say, pretty cheap.
Put it on the scales.
It is.
Can I interest you in a two-for-one deal?
This is my mate, Carl.
I just like some more direction.
I don't want to just go up and down, up and down all day.
I can't.
Can you take a look out the back?
They never do.
Yeah.
You know when you say, oh, have you got any more of that orange juice?
They go, yeah, I'll go out the back.
You know they've gone out the back, looked on Twitter.
And it's like, gone home.
And they're going home.
They don't even come back.
Three hours later, you're like, where's that guy with the orange juice?
Or he comes back to work tomorrow and you're like,
have you been here the whole time? Like, where's the orange juice?
Or clean up on aisle three.
Something spilled down here.
What was that?
Your tongue just...
I just wasn't expecting the word spill and it was just...
Oh, spill.
It's moist.
We've got a moisty.
Warning, my bags are full.
It's urgent then.
It's urgent.
Your damn walls are bursting The quality used to just be so much better
The honeymoon here is over
Now it's just meat and potatoes
Down to basics and that's it
I go to the supermarket down the road for fancy stuff.
Don't tell my boyfriend.
Did you want to go self-service or do you want this pimply teenager to slide them through?
I actually go self-serve every time.
Really?
That's a nice touch.
It's so much faster.
Less small talk.
I don't want to know your name, mate.
How are you doing today?
Don't talk to me.
Don't talk to me.
Yeah, just get it done.
Reckon this sausage will fit in your basket?
Yep. No worries. reckon this sausage will fit in your basket oh yep no worries oh where do you keep the gatorade
aisle six and nine.
At the top and the bottom.
No joke, one time I was at like an RSL, you know how they have like the raffle?
Yeah.
And it was just like, oh, dinner for two, 69, 69 dinner for two.
And I'm just sitting there with my parents and I was like, anyone? If anyone doesn't know what an RSL is, it's like in Australia,
it's like a pokey kind of like lawn bowls club, like for old people.
Like old people go there and like make friends and play lawn bowls.
It's like an old pub.
Yeah, but it's like a sports thing normally, like bowls.
It's normally attached to something, but I feel like old people or really young people
because the beer is always real cheap. So cheap, yeah.
But that's why...
Are you on the meat tray? So I can imagine that
the patrons in the
bar at the time that you
witnessed that, that they were just like
oh, Beryl, I'll have another
sherry, you know.
And I was losing it.
Oh, I love the look of these plums.
Nice and firm.
Nice bluish hue.
Love a firm plum.
If we're not careful, we might damage those eggs.
Oh, you care about my eggs?
How do you like them in the morning?
Fertilised?
Oh, that's good.
Okay, this one is for when somebody walks into the back of you
with their trolley.
Oh, can you stop ramming that up my arse, please?
I'm learning that the more blatant ones are just really good.
Oh, yeah, they do.
They get you out, yeah.
Did you want a teabag?
Not in the shops.
That's where you get the teabags from.
Yeah, I know.
Should I put the cream between the melons?
If you want.
Really?
How generous.
You don't normally ask.
How many sausages do you get for this price?
Oh, there's 10 in a pack.
Oh, no, they're chipolatas.
We should use protection because they're chevups.
Don't have the case.
Can you put two bags on this?
I just want to be safe.
That is literally my name.
If I don't like this later, can I return it?
How nice would that be?
Just going back to the nightclub with someone you just picked up.
No, thank you.
You like this song, don't you?
Ooh.
Unexpected item in the baggage area.
There shouldn't be.
I like to know what's going in my bags and what's not going in my bags.
Oh, I always get more than I need.
You're welcome for that.
You fancy an orgasm?
Because I like to knock them out for free.
Tap, insert or swipe?
That's why I like the self-serve checkout.
No one asked you.
Do whatever you want.
Good, you just do yourself.
Although I'm concerned for someone who says swipe.
Just leave the car running. it never takes longer than
i'll be right back you just wait out here do you want me to call you a cab no the one i arrived
in just waiting out the front i might just sniff it first to see if it's all right
you gotta do that with stone fruit.
It will be a stone fruit.
Ah, the old faithful.
I used to come here.
My dad used to come here.
And my grandpa used to come here as well.
No, they did not.
I might just turn that around.
I want to see how many carbs are in it.
Lots.
Lots.
There is no nutritional value.
This is a carb-heavy meal.
Ma'am, I heard you were looking for some protein.
Easier to take down than egg whites, isn't it?
You're telling me, mate.
Don't act like you don't know.
Ten bucks is ten bucks.
Now, we awkwardly segued from my nana's funeral.
And now we're back in.
Now we've got to go back in there again.
So.
Yes.
Spoke at the funeral the other day.
100 years old was my nana.
I used to spend every second weekend with her from the age of three or four
to like 13, like spent a lot of time with her.
Yeah, and like growing up with her, yeah.
Absolutely.
Absolute sweetheart she was.
I bet.
So after the funeral we decide that the family,
we're going to go down to a pub down the road, you know,
have a drink on her honour.
Yeah, love that.
Because we didn't have an official wake, so it was like,
let's just go to the pub, whatever.
Yeah.
Did you have a parma while you were there?
I did.
Was it good?
It was great.
Yeah, it was a chicken, obviously, not eggplant, if it was good.
Yep.
Yeah, good.
That's what Nana would have wanted.
So we get to the car, Bridget's car.
So this is just after the funeral or after the pub?
Straight after the funeral.
No.
So everyone's getting in their car, driving to the pub.
Yep.
Get the beepy thing to unlock the car.
It doesn't open.
No way.
And our car, or Bridget's car, I don't have one, it is, well,
I sold my car.
Don't give me that look.
Yeah, but it's pretty fancy.
It's a Volkswagen Golf.
Yeah.
You can't actually put the key in to unlock it.
It's like auto or nothing.
Yes.
And so we're clicking the unlock and it's not, you know how it's
like and you can kind of hear it and the lights flash?
Nothing.
And everyone's left.
It was a pretty hot day earlier in the week.
So, like, the battery was dead or?
Yeah, so we're like, the battery.
And we're grabbing at the thing.
Like I said, usually I would have assumed that you could use the key
to get in if you had to.
That sounds like a good fail safe.
Right.
Otherwise, you're just standing in the sun after your nana's funeral
waiting for bloody RACV to come or something.
And I was still teary.
And you're just like, I don't need this.
I don't need this.
And I'm in a suit and it's hot and sunny.
And when you're hot and sunny in a big jacket, you know,
you just, oh, just.
Yep.
And I was a bit, you know, dehydrated, been crying.
And I was just like, not now.
Not now.
Just get us home.
I don't see that side of the family that often.
So I don't want to waste an hour waiting for RACV to rock up.
And we're in the middle of a seminar. Like, it couldn't even explain to of the family that often. So I don't want to waste an hour waiting for our ACV to rock up. And we're in the middle of a semi, like we're in the,
like it couldn't even explain to the person where we are.
So I'm there for 10 minutes just trying, figuring it out and blah, blah, blah.
And you know when it's not working and you press it really hard?
Yeah.
Because you're like maybe it's just not connecting at the bottom.
I was like, because I've been here, I know.
Yeah.
Assuming that would make any difference.
But you're just like, oh, that'll work.
Yeah.
Or you tap it on your hand or whatever.
Yeah.
So we were standing about six cars away from our actual car.
It was another Volkswagen Golf.
No!
Yep.
And it turns out the whole time our car was...
Locking and unlocking.
And someone just goes, hey, guys, is that your car over there?
And we went, oh, yep.
You are joking.
So we stood there for about 10, 15 minutes.
And you're getting more and more angry, more and more upset.
You're like, my Nana's just passed away, just buried her.
I need to leave.
Not my car.
I've had a, oh, my God.
Is it fair to say Volkswagen Golf is very common?
They're all over the roads, right?
Oh, everywhere.
It's happened to me.
I thought you were picking me up before and gone to get in someone's car
and it was someone else.
That's happened to us before.
So then we get to the pub and Dad's like, oh, you're up?
Why are you late?
And I was like, traffic.
I'm Anja from Germany and I approve this podcast.
Tomorrow on the show, naked, naked?
I was going to say normal or nah returns, but it's normal or nah. Naked or nah.
Naked or nah.
And if Tony's around, naa.
Naked.
Being naked in front of your pets.
Yeah.
A lot of people are worked up in the Facebook group.
No, no, no.
About the issue.
Oh, the issue.
Hot button issue.
Yeah, that's tomorrow.
Before we get into that, though, and if people stick around,
we want to say thank you to a few of our new champion tapas.
Yep.
Renee Mello, Christine, Billy Boussier, Connor and Corey Broom.
Thank you so, so much.
The Broom.
Yeah, big broom.
They're sweeping through.
I was going to say, good work sweeping through those names, sweetheart.
Thank you so much.
So, Dream Chat.
It just occurred to me that we're about to head
into my least favourite topic.
Tony says to me earlier, I've got a great story about my dream.
I'm like, you don't.
You don't.
Because no dream story is good.
Well, I actually have talked before about how my boyfriend,
Torbs, been doing it for eight years, together for seven,
that we at this point in our life don't want kids.
And it's something that not a lot of people really talk about at the moment.
I think, I don't really know why, I guess it's because it's like,
oh, having kids is like the done thing.
And I actually love kids.
So I think that most people when I say.
Just assume.
Yeah, when I say we don't want kids, they're like, oh, do you hate them?
I actually love them.
Like I love my nieces and nephews.
I love holding a baby.
Like when someone has a baby, I love giving it a cuddle
and stuff like that.
Like I do really love children, but they're just not for us.
Do people get that?
Because like you said, there's like, oh, you must hate them.
I can comprehend that you can love children but don't want your own.
It's not mutually exclusive.
I feel like most people think it's quite selfish.
To not overpopulate the planet.
Well, yeah, that it's like a selfish choice to go,
actually, we love the life that we have and children
just don't really fit into that at the moment.
And I always get the feeling that people think
that that's like a selfish choice.
But I feel like it would be more selfish to have children just
so that we don't like miss out on that experience.
To keep up with what everyone expects from us.
Yeah, and then actually maybe not love the children as much
as they deserve or not give them the life that they would want.
Not that we would do that, but, you know,
I would hate to think that we did it just because we felt
like we should and then went, this is not the right life for us.
There are a lot of people that have kids and then spend
the next 20 years complaining about their kids.
Yeah, and I read this Reddit thread a little while ago actually
and it was like, tell us about kids that you didn't want
that you kind of regret.
And they were like, I love my kids.
I protect them with everything.
They have a great life, but I wish I didn't have them.
I liked the life that I had before.
It was all anonymous and stuff.
They miss their old life.
Yeah.
Going out and about on the town.
Exactly.
Or being able to travel whenever you want or, you know,
sleeping in on the weekend instead of going to soccer practice
or whatever the case may be.
But it is obviously an area of high contention because people
are one way or the other.
And whenever I talk about it, I always get lots of messages
on Instagram or Facebook or through Patreon or whatever
and they say, I feel this way and thank you for talking about it
because people don't and my family don't really understand.
Yep.
All three of my siblings have kids.
Oh, so you're the only childless one.
Yes.
You're the youngest, right?
Yes, by a long way.
So I'm at least 10 years younger than all of my siblings. Does any time you go away, is there like,
oh, any questions from Torbs? Is there any news? Or any time it's Christmas, birthday, you catch
up and they've got their kids and they go, oh, Tony, when are you going to have your, like just
constant? Every time. Yeah. And there's definitely been times when I've been really excited about my career and people have gone like, that's great.
And I only imagine how they would react if I was like,
I'm having a baby or I'm engaged or whatever.
Yeah, it's just a different thing.
Anyway, that's a whole different conversation.
But people always say that they're really,
they feel very seen by talking about not wanting children.
And anyway, I have always worried that talking openly
about this would then maybe cause a problem if in the future
we changed our minds and did want children because, you know,
how it is now, like you say one thing and all of a sudden
that's gospel, that's who you are, and then if you change
your mind people go, oh, well, three years ago she said this.
What a flip-flopper.
Actually, you know, people are designed to change.
It's like the whole point of being alive.
How are those things?
Yeah, I didn't want kids when I was 24, but now I'm 30 and I've grown up
and my life circumstances have changed and maybe whatever.
Yeah.
But anyway, so this is where the dream chat comes in.
So what happened, Tony?
So I had this dream last week that I had a baby.
In your dream?
In the dream, yeah.
Is this the first time you've had this dream?
The first time of note that I've really thought about it.
And actually the process of labour?
No, no, no, but I had the baby.
In your arms.
And I was holding it and, like, all my friends were around me
and they were like, oh, my God, like, you and Torbs about a baby
and Torbs was there and he was, like, doting on this baby
and I was like.
And you liked that.
And I woke up and my ovaries were engorged and I was like,
we've got to have a baby.
And Torbs was like, what has happened?
Like, his alarm hadn't even gone off.
He's, like, not ready for the day.
So it's, like, four in the morning.
It's, like, early in the morning and I was like, are has happened? Like his alarm hadn't even gone off. He's like not ready for the day. So it's like four in the morning. It's like early in the morning and I was like, are we making a mistake?
Like what should we do?
And I was like, I've always said I don't want kids but, you know,
and obviously these things happen and I'm not going to sit here
and change my stance and say like, oh, now we do want children.
But it was really interesting because I was like,
oh, am I making a mistake?
And then I got really scared that if one day I turned around
and did have a baby that people would go, oh, well,
she fucking said she didn't want her children fucking a minute ago
and now she, oh, God, make her bloody mind up.
Were you more concerned about what the people, and by the people,
I just mean, you know, randoms on the internet,
would say more concerned with that than the wellbeing of the child?
Yes.
Because instantly I was like, oh, my God, what if one day I do want,
like what if this is a path we want to go down or one day we can afford it?
Because at the moment the main reason is like, well,
the life we want to live, like we can't afford children,
fucking expensive.
Yep.
What's the thing?
Like they cost $8 million by the time they're 18 or a million,
$1.8 million or something to fucking. $1.8, maybe the way you live.
Mate, don't.
Mate, you're spending $200 on a car wash.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
Answer me this.
Yes.
I know you were dreaming at the time.
Yeah, I was.
But how did it feel having the baby in your arm?
It felt really nice.
And since I've had the dream,
I'm desperate to hold a baby.
Like I've just, I just think that that would cure the,
and not cure as in like, oh, make me realise that I want one.
Maybe I just need a fix.
Because, you know, when you hold a baby, they've got that smell
and they make those little faces and those little noises.
Absolutely, yeah. You know, there's like nothing better than holding a baby that they've got that smell and they make those little faces and those little noises. Absolutely, yeah.
You know, there's like nothing better than holding a baby
that's got that beautiful smell.
What about, and I think this is what you're getting at,
is what you're asking is for Kate who listens to the podcast.
You know she had a tarpa baby?
She just had a baby, yeah.
Does she live in Melbourne?
Yeah.
Does she?
Are you asking to hold the tarpa baby?
Yeah, Kate, can I come round?
I'm double vaxxed.
I'm safe.
I've had my whooping cough.
I've had my tetanus.
Yeah, oh, yeah, Kate, sign into my DMs.
I'll come and hold your baby.
So I don't want to – I know we talk a lot about, like,
sex jokes and stuff.
Yeah.
Has this changed any behaviours in your life?
No, not like that.
No.
No.
Have you thought about it though at all or you just have that sense
to hold it but you're still like a bit, oh, I don't think I want to.
I think it's that thing where I know that we've made the decision
and I'm going to say decision because it is a choice to not.
Yep.
So I'm going to stand by the reasoning that we've kind
of come to as a couple, this is Torbs and I,
until one day when the pros outweigh the cons.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
And I just, it felt really important and this, like, story,
there's no punchline, it's not going anywhere,
but it felt really important to bring this up to say, like, fuck, you's no punchline, it's not going anywhere, but it felt really important
to bring this up to say, like, fuck, you know what,
you actually are allowed to change your mind about what you want.
Absolutely.
And at the moment, the cons do outweigh the pros.
It's not for us right now.
Like, I'm 28, you know.
So this is what I've heard.
Okay.
When females, rightly or wrongly, for some reason,
30 is this big, heavy number.
Uh-huh.
How old did you say you were?
I just turned 28.
Do you feel like...
A month ago.
Do you feel like when you get closer to 30,
something will tick or when you have those,
oh, well, if we wait and we're like, for some dumb reason, it's as if females think they age 25 years
from 29 to 31 and then all of a sudden, yeah.
Because I know when Bridge turned 30, it was always like one day
and then we turned 30, it was like, are we doing this?
We're ovulating, let's get into it kind of thing, yeah.
So in two years, do you reckon that number will hit you
for whatever reason?
You even asking me that question.
Oh, I freaked you out.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no, no, no.
Makes me think no because I hate the idea of time pressure on.
And that's one of the things about kids.
I'm like, oh, my God, it means that everything has to be calculated
around that.
And I also have such bad anxiety.
I don't think I could be pregnant for nine months.
I actually don't think I could go through that.
Well, you can't get a doctor's slip to make it three off.
Yeah.
Actually, I was a bit anxious.
Can we just wrap this up?
Could you give me the fast version?
Is that an option?
But, yeah, I'd love to be a surrogate for somebody.
Do you want to be Bridget and I's surrogate?
Not that we're in the market for one, but, I mean, do you want to do it?
If you buy me an Audi as a gift, as like a thank you gift.
Is that what my child means to you? Audis?
I know that you've got the cash for it, mate. I wouldn't ask anybody else.
But no, anyway, so the reason that I wanted to bring it up was because like,
I found it really important to say like, you're allowed to change your mind. Not that I am, but I really want to hold a baby
in like a loving and caring and nurturing way,
not in a terrifying way.
Like, don't.
Someone let us know in the comments of the episode thread.
This is, I sound like a predator.
Can Tony hold your child?
The tarpa baby, Kate.
Richens?
Is that who it is?
I can't remember her last name.
And probably don't share it because obviously baby snatchers like me.
We're on the case.
Is that weird?
Do you think what I've just said there is a live brainstorm?
Do you think what I just said is weird?
No.
And I think a lot of people, like you said, will hear and go,
thank you for saying that. Yeah.
And I will say thank you for saying that.
Thank you.
Because it's hard when you've outwardly said,
oh, I've made this decision.
It's like the pressure when you go into uni.
You're like, I'm going to study this thing.
And everyone goes, oh, great, you really want to be a psychologist?
And you go, yep, that's all I want to do.
And then you do a year of psychology and you go,
fuck, that's actually not for me.
Yeah.
I'm an art history major now. Yeah, exactly. And, you know, you're scared of psychology and you go, fuck, that's actually not for me. Yeah, I'm an art history major now.
Yeah, exactly, and, you know, you're scared that people
are going to judge you, that you've changed your decision, but...
You've changed, man.
Yeah.
You know what?
I'm pro people evolving and growing up with their surrounds
and being what they want to be when they want to be it.
Well, do you want to hear about me evolving even further than that?
Is this who you love to see it?
Yep.
Please.
I tried turkey for the first time.
What?
I'd never had it before.
The amount of times you used to get on my high horse about me being weird and then every
week you come in here and say some of the dumbest shit.
Yeah.
How have you survived 28 years of your life without having turkey?
So I've had sandwich turkey maybe once.
Oh, no, that's...
Yeah, it was shit.
But Jane made a turkey for Christmas,
so it was the first time I've ever had a hot turkey.
And?
I liked it.
It's delicious.
It's really juicy and good.
It's hard to cook.
They obviously nailed it.
It's bloody big.
So is the turkey.
Oh, you love to say that.
Well, welcome to the club.
Thank you.
Epic turkey.
I thought the Americans would appreciate that.
Why?
Because they always have turkey at Thanksgiving.
And I'd never had it before, so I never understood it.
But you haven't had it at Christmas every year?
No, my mum and dad used to do pork and beef for Christmas.
We had, like, a very English Christmas.
It would appear so.
Yeah.
So anyway, so I never had turkey, but now I've had it.
Welcome.
Yeah, thanks.
Do you have...
Cranberry sauce.
Yeah, that's it.
Oh, how good is it?
I actually took it.
I could drink that from the jug.
Oh, did you?
I took it.
Yeah, that was one of my contributions.
Great contribution.
Thank you.
You know how I'm a sucker for an acoustic version?
Oh, you do love an acoustic version.
Or a live, like perform live or someone else doing a cover.
Yep.
Actually, let me bring this music down real quick.
Okay.
This girl, her name is Loi, L-O-I.
Yes.
And she's just 18 years old and she's from Denmark.
Yeah.
She's on TikTok.
Yep.
And she's like, oh, I've heard this pop song, here's my version.
Uh-huh.
18 years old.
Have a listen to this voice.
According to Spotify, the most played song this year was Blinding Lights by The Weeknd.
The Weeknd, yep.
Keep in mind, 18-year-old girl.
And I know, Toni, you appreciate a voice.
I do.
Oh, since it is cold and empty, no one's around to judge me.
I can see clearly when you're gone.
to judge me I can see clearly
when you're gone
Oh, oh, oh
And I said
Ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
Now I can't sleep
until I feel your touch
Goosebumps, goosebumps
I said
Ooh, I'm drowning in the night
Oh, and I'm like this You're the one I'll trust How unbelievable is that?
Is that her on the keys as well?
Yeah.
Yeah, wow, that's very cool.
I've listened to that song a million times this week.
There's something about an acoustic cover, isn't there?
Yeah.
And it makes you just love the original song even more.
Yeah, and she just looks like, not in a mean way,
but just like a lovely 18-year-old going about their day.
Just like a normal person.
Just looks like a normal person.
And then she's got those pipes.
Yeah, and she chats because of the Danish accent
that sort of sounds a bit funny to us here in Australia.
And then she sings and you're just like, oh, my God.
Bless her.
So, Loi, L-O-I is her name.
Okay, check her out on TikTok.
Check her out.
There's a recommendation.
Nice.
Not a shit one either.
Yeah, quite a good one.
Thanks a lot.
Nice.
Is that your New Year's resolution?
Is that recommending good things?
Yeah.
Maybe.
I'll think about it.
I'll keep that in mind.
I feel like a shit recommendation from time to time.
