A listener production. 2026. Here we are. Welcome to the Auntie Donna podcast, a tradition we're about to do as a tale of as old as time. Where we go through the ones that you voted for as the best from 2025. Sorry, we took two weeks off. I'm not sorry.

Tom finds that very funny. Because people are so upset. Are people upset? Like, I say that with tongue and cheek. It's just like a couple of comments that are quite funny. Yeah. I'll tell you why we can use this as the one of the reasons. Well, because we're not, we're discontinuing the podcast.

It's over and we're not coming back. And we weren't going to announce it, but the podcast. The podcast. The podcast is over. Um, well, not over. We're going to take two weeks off indefinitely after this. Yes. So from next week on, it's two.

two weeks off. And then we're going to see how we feel after that two weeks. Yeah, we're not planning anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. In some ways, in some ways, it's a new beginning and we're just getting started. In other ways, we're not doing the podcast anymore. That's kind of the only way I can really express. Well, I'll tell you why, we were supposed to record this on the, before one of our last

shows of the tour last year. Yeah. And I vomited blood and had to go to hospital before. a show to get rehydrated. Go to a hot. Oh yeah, no, yeah, you went the next day, right? And then, and then after that, this is something you boys don't know about, but Tom knows about it.

Put the microphone near you, boy. It's here. It's here. I, after the last show, got in the car and drove home from St. Kilda to Pascovale, where I live. And by the time I got home, I couldn't walk. And so I spent from December 21st to January 7, unable to walk or stand for more than a minute

because I had a sciatic nerve pain so crippling. I knew about the sciatic pain. It got worse and I ended up on oxycodone. And it's very similar to Professor X, but he got psychic power. Yeah, yeah. Straight of the gag. I went through something quite bad.

Right, he can't, Professor X can't walk anymore at all. This is just a true professional. But I'm talking through, like, I spent Christmas and New Year's and this whole period of rest. I'm like, I'm processing. So I'm unable to get off and not be horizontal. Xavier went to space and made a space queen and almost lost the trust of his X-Men. to say that you're sciatic pain Well, he's not fucking real,

well, that's fair. Um, I guess To fuck, to walk in. I'm just saying. For that to be the immediate... You can't say you didn't work and had you had sciatic pain without me bringing up Professor Fet. That's not fair.

You're set me up. We're set up, we're doing two episodes of our best ofs, right? This is part one. Then done. Then done. Then done. So, sorry, next week, we're doing some best ofs.

Yep. It's this week and then next week and then after that. So we're going to do a pattern of two weeks on. Two weeks off, two weeks on for four weeks. Yeah. Then two weeks off. Then we're going to see what we're going to do. Or it's just going to be more episodes.

We don't know. Yeah, it'll just be regular programming as usual. This is not bade for someone to hop on the road and go, were the boys joking? I'm not sure. They said they were stopping, but I don't know. And then someone underneath. Ha ha.

This is kind of how the guy's here. And then someone else, no, they had to stop it because Mark died. Anyway, at number 10. Are they stopping it because of Broden's sciatic nerve damage? Or because of Mark's joke. It felt senseless and mean. I think what it felt like, I'm going to be honest with you, Brod, what it felt like was you were dropping a really full on piece of news

and that I was in the, I was processing and that's all I could think of is like, is Broden okay? That's why you're not a pro. And exactly, that's what I'm saying. And here's Mark. He goes, forget the feelings. Maybe he's not even having them. You know, like a real sociopath.

That's not true. I got a job to do. Professor X. I broke my heart. Anyway, number 10, and then number 10. Can I also say a big thank you to Lindsay, who was compiled these as always. Lindsay this year, the goat of producing. Absolutely.

Now, I'm not doing, because I know this is a very common joke, particularly. amongst older people. I'm not doing this as a joke. Okay, great. Because I know that happens a lot as a joke. It would be very cheap of me to make this joke. So this is a genuine question. And I'll answer genuinely.

Because I don't know if the sciatic nerve damage is metastasized in your brain. I don't know how it works. I would have Googled it if you'd tell me before the podcast. I see how it is. I see the clowns who inhabit But anyway, go on. Do the joke. You're referring to greatest of all time.

Yes. Yes. Correct. Because you could see how... Goat. It's a... What is it? An an anagram?

An anagram? I guess it's a... Nym. It's not an initialism, because that's when you say... Antonym. No. It's... Oh, my God.

Anyway, this... Yeah, we're going to move the fuck on. This episode received a lovely amount of votes. It's from the episode when Jimbo Randall reveals him at a wizard in Japan. What? Do you have the list? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have no...

Wait, who's Jimbo? I wasn't there for this one. I remember that one. I think you were. Broden wasn't here for this episode. What? He had an opportunity with old media. So Sam was there instead.

Sam and Mark made a new fan of the Auntie Donner podcast, a guy named Jimbo Randall who lives in the CBD and is very boring. You remember this? I remember this. Through their conversation, Jimbo Randall shares that he went to Japan on a kentiki tour and met a wizard. And the wizard transferred his powers to Zach. Now, I don't remember this because I wasn't there. I can take, well, thank you fans for loving it so much.

The only reason I remember it is because I thought it would be funny to do a character that had no discernible features. That was just a normal person. And I distinctly remember being like, Broden would not have allowed this. Because it was like five, ten minutes in. And I'm like, oh, this is just a boring man. And Mark, you were talking about how you don't have any recollection of it, whatever? It's just like genuinely none to the point where I was like, right, I wasn't there for that one. When you said it, I remember doing a podcast with Sam, but I remember Bobby T, which I'm sure will come up on the list.

And if it doesn't, I'm going to riot because that was a great character. And the prank we pulled, was that last year? Was that last year? That was last year, right? Okay. Anyway, let's talk about this one. Let's play it. Let's play it.

Holidays. Have you ever been on any holidays? I went up to movie world when I was a kid. Yeah. And I went to Japan about four years ago. Okay. How long did you spend in Japan? I spent two weeks and I went to every city in Japan in that two weeks.

Every city in Japan. Just just. Just went city. Every single city? I was just constantly moving. Major city? I went to, I was there for 14 days. I went to 14 places.

How did you plan this trip? Contiki. Conteiki. You did contiki to it. Did you meet anyone interesting on that trip? Met an old wizard? You met an old wizard. Wait a second.

Wait, what? You met a man familiar in the ways of magic and wizardry? Yeah, yeah. Okay, did he conjure? anything? No, he gave me his powers. He gave you. His powers. The wizard gave you his powers. How did he pass them on to you before he was untimely dead?

Well, he was a medieval wizard. It was odd that he was in Japan. He was from medieval England, but he was immortal. And before he died, he gave me his powers. Right. And his powers, what is he proficient in when it comes to his powers? Well, I still have... Conjuring. Yeah, I still have to learn. He gave me his books to learn. Okay.

But I... So I haven't found the full depth of my powers yet. What was the name of the wizard? I never learnt his name. Is that because to know someone's name is to know them, to have power over them? No, he just never said it. No, he just never said it. Was he doing the Kintiki tour?

No, he was just there. I was going for a walk around Tokyo. Yeah. And he was in the Shinjuku district. Okay. And he was there and I thought that's funny. He looks like an old wizard. Then he said, I've got to give you my powers.

I'm about to have my head chopped off. By? By his mortal enemy and now mine. So you took on his mortal enemy. Yeah. Because he wants the powers. His mortal enemy wants the power. And the only way to get the powers is to chop up his head.

Who is the mortal enemy? I don't know his name. Do you have any details? Yeah, I've seen him. Mm-hmm. Do you want to? Describe him for it? Sure.

Is that good? I don't know. I'm not a podcast guy. I don't know what's interesting or not about this. But just to be clear for a moment, this is fascinating. Is it? Yeah, yeah. I would have brought it up earlier if I'd known.

Like, this is the fucking craziest thing. Any normal guest has come on the show has had to say and has had happened to them. Oh, you should have just asked. To say that you're not, you don't have anything interesting going on. Yeah. He's wild considering a wizard in Tokyo gave you his powers. Is that interesting? Yes.

It's absurdly interesting. It's just never come up. You're like the first two people I've ever told about it. It's, it's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Well, no one's ever asked, you know? It's hard to make friends when you're a male and you're 30. It is hard. I just think maybe next time someone's like,

hey, what do you do when you get home from work? You can be like, I come home, I take my bag off, I put my coat up. I open up my old wizarding books. And I learn how to figure out of it. But I didn't do it after I watch a couple of episodes of the office. Okay, maybe like I watch a couple of episodes of the office. and then I open up my wizarding books.

Right, so I should have mentioned that when you asked, because I thought you wanted to know, like, what I did immediately after I got on. I think just straight out of the gate, if you're on a podcast, yeah, I would bring up almost near immediately. Yeah, right by.

Because it's, it's interesting. So when I say I go to Ballarat, yeah. What do you do in Ballarat? Why should I mention that? What do you do? Yeah, yeah. So I have something like,

similar to, you know how Superman has a fortress of solitude? Yeah. I have a fortress under the ground in an old mine in Ballarat where I practice my powers. Mention that. Mention that. That's interesting. Yeah, not just going to Ballarat. Lots of people do that.

I would argue that very few have a hidden underground fortress mine. Right, so I should mention that when I talk about my Ballarat troop. Yes. Yeah, I mean, especially on a podcast, but in day-to-day life as well, when people ask you questions,

they're just really trying to connect with you. They want to know what's interesting. But no one else does that, so that wouldn't interest them. It would, but that is interesting about you. I think, you know, I think. But that, is that a good point of connection. I should talk about that. I think so.

I think it is a good thing. And you don't have... Should I mention it on my bumble? Like, if you're up for that, I think that'd be great, you know, like, I love watching the office. I love getting fried rice in Chinatown, and I love practicing the mysterious arts of magic. Yeah.

Because I can change. can change the very nature of reality. Okay. Really? Yeah. In what ways? I've done this interview seven times already. Okay.

And I go back in time. You've kept what we've done. Well, this is the first time I've mentioned that I'm a wizard. Yeah, right. What happened to the other ones? You guys got mad at me and I left. Six times. Yeah.

What did you try to do to circumnavigate that? That's why I brought up the nice shirts. I thought that would work this time. The nice shirts. Yeah. The nice shirts. Yeah, the nice shirts. Yeah, the nice shirts I hadn't mentioned.

You're a fucking idiot. What do you mean? Just that you're a fucking idiot. I've stopped two atomic world wars. That's really great. That's incredible. That's incredible information. So like a world war, like a bomb will be dropped.

Lots of bombs dropped. Yeah. Then I'll travel back in time. Yeah. And then I'll fly to the place. You can fly? Yeah, like I fly like Neo in the Matrix. Yeah.

And then I will take the nuclear. I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, mind, I'll use my mind powers to change people's minds. If the bomb goes, I'll take the bomb, I'll fly it into space. And then I'll send it off it to Jupiter to explode. And there it was.

At number nine, what did you think of that? Now that you've played it, do you remember that episode, by the way? I don't know, what do you want from me in this? What do you need from me in this moment? Do you want me to play along? Do you want me to be honest? Because I'm trying to be more honest. Find that same

sociopathic evil that you found when you mocked Broden for his... My debilitating... It's sciatic nerve. One that made me feel like I had to follow along. And Brodyn, I just want to apologise for making any jokes about it because I just wanted to think... I just want to mark to think I was cool.

Broden knows how I feel. Yeah, like, you feel like... He knows that I put this on for the pod and in real life I don't have a message him or check in. Yeah, yeah. He knows where we're at. At number nine, the moan and grown phantom zone. Oh yes, I remember this.

I remember this one. This was supposed to be the Chris Kringle episode with Tom. Oh, yeah. But it turned into an argument over the rules of Chris Kringle, which introduced the concept of the moan and grown Phantom Zone zone. That was where you could be banished to the phantom zone where you weren't allowed to talk for a certain amount of time. But then we added that there was like some sort of second layer where you could,

you had a selection of moan and groans that you could sort of implement. Someone put in the rules of the section. Someone from Patreon wrote, the rules section of moaning and groaning in the phantom zone. Thanks for another beautiful year, Auntie Donner team got me through a tough year. I think it was mostly...

What? You know, come on, man. Cyanic sounds like psychic. It does. Not walking. Oh, is that the joke? Yeah. Yeah.

I thought it's because Professor X is in a wheelchair. Oh, no. Well, it was both. You couldn't walk, and it was because of sciatic nerve. Professor X has psychic powers. Yeah, but he doesn't have psychic nerve damage. No, but he can't walk, and he might. You don't know why he can't walk.

Well, if we want it, you know, it's some. Here's the episode. Here's the episode. Mark, I am happy for you to be the leader. Great. But I ask that you listen. I ask that you listen to critical. criticism. If people ask you to move along, I ask it. You just acknowledge it. You don't have to move along.

Don't go hard. Don't go hard on it in like a childish sort of fuck you way. Oh, you criticize me. All right, fuck you. I do exactly what you want, but not in the way you ask. Is that not working? But you got to know but it, Mark. Great. All right. Can I ask something, Zach? Broden. No, but. But. Broden, go. Yes. We're out of time. We're not out of time. We are going to figure this out. 30 minutes. We're out of time. We are going to bigger this out. You have to go in with an imperfect system. No.

I think we have to go ahead with an imperfect system. Over here. I need Lindsay to read back what Lindsay wrote down. Okay. Here are the rules. I also wrote them down. I want to hear both back to back. Lindsay?

I wrote, if anyone is unhappy with the leadership, they can call for mutiny. If anyone calls a mutiny, the leader isn't allowed to talk until the mutiny is being decided. We did this in a car once. Yeah. Yeah, it was a unanimous decision to decide mutiny. Yes. The sentence, I sentence ye to the phantom zone against anyone who isn't a leader.

Yeah. They can't talk for two minutes once they're in the phantom zone until they ran to society. However. Can you moan and groan in the phantom zone? We decided that you can moan and groan in the phantom zone. Three times. You're only allowed to do it three times.

First two times you get a warning. The third time. First you were sentenced to the phantom zone zone. And now you're sentenced to the moment of the moment. to the moan and groan phantom zone zone. And then only the person who can do the warning. The only person who can give you a first and second warning is the person who first sentence you to the phantom zone zone.

Great. I got a little lost towards the end there, but I'm getting the gist of it. You need to manually time yourself whilst you're in the phantom zone zone. Yeah. And then once you return to the real world from the phantom zone, you have 20 seconds to talk about your time in the phantom zone zone. and then you return to the real world with Christmas spirit. I just want to add one other thing.

The phantom zone. No, wait, it's just a clarification. Anything from here on the eye is an amendment. It's just a clarification. The phantom zone banishment. Yeah. I sentence you to the phantom zone. That also needs a unanimous vote.

Yes. Yeah, yeah. Okay, great. Yeah. The only thing I had on top of what Lindsay said is that Mark is the leader. Great. Yes. Yes.

Any other thoughts, any other amendments before we'd jump into this? I'd just like to add in there for, what's the word for, like, for history to, for history, you know. A big Mac structure of an Oreo would be hard biscuit cream. Hard biscuit cream. Hard biscuit. Yes, I know. Biscuit. I know.

I'm fucking putting something into legislation. You're putting this into, this is, I didn't realize this was rules for cake. For posterity. And you do understand that I know the fucking difference between, a Big Mac version of an Oreo. I just want it known for posterity. And a double quarter pounder. But my mistake was that I just misheard the construction.

Oh, let me finish. For posterity. Big Mac is hard biscuit cream, hard biscuit cream, hard biscuit. Double quarter pounder would be hard biscuit cream, cream hard biscuit. Yes. So the big Mac... No debate there. The Big Mac would have been you eat the dry biscuit of one.

Then you take another. But you do nothing to that and just squish it in, which is fun. Okay. And we're back to real time. And I've got something exciting. I've got an exciting update for everyone. So when it's a bunch of letters formed into a word. Not into a word.

That's just an initial or an initialism. And when it is a word, it is an acronym. Acronym. What's anagram? An anagram is, it's the. it's like you can take the letters in a word and form a different word. A good name for a cafe? Yeah.

Anagram. Well, it's the, that's, yeah. And it's the Simpsons joke, remember? It's like, we play anagrams with, we take famous people's names and try to form a description of them. That's how I know what an anagram is. And I just, and I think, I just want to just make this a lesson for everyone. If you're struggling to remember a word, try to think of the root words. Try to think of the etymology.

Because that's what I was doing with num. And here's some root words. Fuck. Come. Yep. Spoof. Puss Now and I just want to say that

I was trying to I was trying to I was trying to relate to your pain through what I know best which is fantasy world and comic book characters And so I'm just I wasn't trying to be rude

I was just trying to be like hey there are other people on this planet that have experienced your pain But they're not on this planet They're on um No they're on earth What's the word? Not the real earth

Well, it's a version of Earth. Not in this Earth. Yeah, not in this Earth. I guess you could say they're on this Earth, and that they're in comic books on this Earth. Exactly. And that's what differentiates Marvel from D.C. Yes.

Because we're seeing battles in New York, in the cities we know and love. At number eight, Greg Larson's... Only number eight. I know. Greg Larson's surprise birthday party. What am I all tied up? Do you remember this?

I remember this one. This was one of my favorite. You weren't at this. Who wasn't at this one? Mark. We need to talk about how much time off, everyone's taking it. When Greg arrives at the surprise birthday, he announces he's murdered Akarni. Do you remember what?

That's three. It was very brutal. I'm surprised he's got on because I remember in the recording of this, I was like, Greg's brought in too much. And this is a guy whose Patreon's been banned for no reason. He's going through it. I'm sure there's a reason. No reason.

I'm so sure there's a reason. Just like he was banned from Uber Eats for no reason. There's a reason. Anyway, here's Greg. Greg's been great this year. We love Greg. Enjoy this episode. Why am I all tied up?

Greg. We could have gone to the police. Yeah. Yeah? And they would have punished you for this murder. But we realised something. They wouldn't have punished you for ruining this birthday party we went to all this effort for. Can I just say it was manslaughter, not murder?

Oh, okay. I don't really care. All I care about is the fact that you ruined our party. So we've decided we're going to slowly torture you to death. This is not how I expected this to go. Rodin, you're fucking agreed, man. Okay, all right, all right. Can I just say, guys?

Yeah. I, look, I really don't want you. I'm really scared about being tortured. I'm really scared about it. And, like, as I was threatening to kill you, I do admit that. but I was like if I was going to kill you and I was going to let you go if you chopped up the car but like if I was going to kill you

it would have been like just I would have shot you you know like I'm really scared about being tortured we went to so much effort bro that got pistidsies I got I got party pies I got all these lollies and chocolates Gregs you're a fan of thirsty murk mate The band No the man who hasn't had a drink in a while

Yes, Thirsty Merck. There was a, I think it was a Lano and Woodley sketch, or I think it was maybe just Woodley when he said he misunderstood the lyrics to Thirsty Merck. And when it said everyone stand and point your fingers. That's Black Fingernails Red Wine by Eskimo, Joe, Greg. Greg, why are we talking about ABC panel shows Spix and Specks? No, there's someone, I think it was Lano. From Woodley, no, Woodley, Frank Woodley.

I think it was Frank Woodley that said he thought the lyric was, I don't understand the point of fingers. Yeah, but that was for Eskimo Joe's song, Black Fingernails Red Wine. What's Thirsty Merck? Thirsty Merck is they did In the Summertime, they did 20 Good Reason, which is what I was going to sing right now. So tell me, baby, why, why, why, should we let you go? Oh.

I don't think I've heard this song. Give us 20 good reasons. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Not to torture you. We're going to slowly torture you to death. You don't know 30 good reasons. You don't know Thursday.

I know that song now that you get to, once you got, give me 20 good reasons. But then also they did. Take me back to the sweet times, the hot nights. Every is going to be all right in the summertime. And the baby in the summertime. That is where I'll be. Were they around when I was working at Wow Sight and Sound? When were you working at Wow Sight and Sound?

I would say 2005, 2004, 2005. Yeah, that was around their time. 2005 and 6 is when Thirsty Merck were kings of this country. Because it was around the time that Black Eyed Peas had that song. You don't have to say it. What's it called Now? Now it's called Let's Get It Started. Yeah.

And I think it's strange that they sort of almost retconned the song. You know what I mean? Like there was the album version and there was the single version. If you were to walk up to where I am now and say, you used to call this song, let's get the other word. I wonder if he would admit it. My question is, can you say it, I guess academically, in the sense that we're referring to a thing that a song title?

Like, for example, you know, the other day when Trump swore. The other month, yeah. The other month Yeah, months ago We're not banking these Yeah When he said fuck You know

You could say oh he said fuck Yeah like the journalist But I guess you can say fuck Anyone can say fuck No I think so yes I think if we had to convey the name of the song For academic purposes yes

This is a You know A former surprise party Where we're torturing you to death Yeah So I don't think it's appropriate But then there's the issue that that word legitimately has real use in other things and is used. Like, and I will, I will, oh, I feel, I feel weird because it's like, even though, but if you're on a plane, that word is said by the cockpit.

Yeah, the machine, the robot says it. And also you would say it about, um, there's an episode of The Simpsons where, um, Nelson holds a can and he says the R word, like, like, like, Like, it contains preservatives to R word spoilage. Yeah, absolutely. Also, if you're getting really crunk and the party's awesome and you want to just get really crazy, that's a way you could describe. I don't think so.

I think that's the reason. The black-eyed peas, I believe that's what the song's about, Zach. So you would say it's inappropriate to use... Yeah, I mean, but it's interesting, it's interesting the way that language changes. For context, Zach is, I mean, Greg is still tied up here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And again, I want to circle back around to you torturing me and not torturing me.

Oh, we will, absolutely. And I just, so just to paint an image, the dead Kani is next to Greg. Yeah. Greg is tied up, very bloodied already, like a lot of blood flew from that kick. Yeah. There's instruments of torture. My nose is busted. Yeah.

Absolutely. And his white shirt is now red. The art department's done a beautiful job on, like, filling your beard with red. And the shirt is like more red than white. now. Yeah. But there's instruments of torture on the table and all of the party food has been shoved to the side.

In a pile, yeah. But the art department has also done a really good job of maintaining the party vibe, even though it's gone to torture. The irony, the imagery is going to look great on the poster. It makes it more sinister in a lot of ways. But we're talking about 2005 pop music. And the R word specifically. And I was just saying, you know, and again, like it's not a way to say like to just

justify the use of any word or anything like that. But I'm saying it's interesting how language evolves when at one point that was the appropriate word to use. Yeah. As were like other words. And they become a pejorative slang term. But like, and it makes you wonder what words we say now that are the correct words to use.

Not just in that area, but in all of them. In areas of our life, what words at some point will sort of become pejorative and be used in a way that. is offensive, you know, and it might even be the most innocuous things. And I'm not saying that that's a justification. That's not me going, oh, you shouldn't go woke and all that. It's just a simple academic. Language is a living organism.

Exactly, exactly. It's just interesting to me. And there it was. Nauty boy, Greg. Lovely man. At number seven. And I can't, I can't believe that this was this year. Anyone want to take a guess at what number seven is?

Something earlier in the year? Yes. Yes. I can't believe that this was this year And this is a sketch we had for a very long time That we didn't know how to do And then I think I said let's do this sketch I don't know

I couldn't even guess The Chadston shopping centre food court Oh my goodness I remember that You know what? Should be higher This is what I remember of that It running out of steam Very quickly

That's when it's good No it is it is always good But that's why I think I remember it because I remember going in with a strong concept that had two and a half minutes of juice in it. And then it's that look. What I remember is the look in each other's eyes of going, oh, no, all three of us going, oh, no, there's another 27 minutes of this left and we're out. And that is always very exhilarating. I love, this is something we do often with the podcast where we go, you know, it couldn't sustain a two-minute sketch.

But maybe. Maybe I've got a feeling in my gut There sometimes we write stuff And we sit there for like four hours Just doing the same joke for ages And then we go well we can't use this in any way And that's when it's to give that mush and shit To our loving podcast

I'm not going to talk about it It's a great joke Yeah Done 900 times It is a great joke Here's a section Enjoy Do you know I actually had a much lighter lunch

Oh you did Yeah I traveled to Thailand Whoa, really? At lunch time? Just for lunch, you traveled all the way to... At fucking lunch! I traveled all the way to time. So you made the decision

on your lunch break at one o'clock to go to, to go all the way over to Thailand. You drove to Tullamarine. You went through... You checked in. You went through international security. Yeah. Bored at a fucking 11-hour flight.

Yeah. And then had what? A Massaman curry. A Massimankari? Is that Thai? Yeah. And then had that. And then headed over to Vietnam.

No. No, more. You travelled again. You travelled again to Vietnam. Which is, I don't even know how far away, but it's definitely not a bike ride. That's a flight. Yeah, from... At least a couple of hours.

Thailand's closer. Or at least the boat ride down the Mekong River. Oh, did you? Did you? No, I'll reveal all soon enough. But what did you have in Vietnam? I had a delicious... Fah?

No, the roll. Like a barmeen. Barn me? What did you... So you had a muscle man... You had a... Yeah, that's lighter. That's lighter.

And then you made it back by two o'clock? Time for sweets. No. This better be from Vietnam. It would be a... Surely it would be a Vietnam. iced coffee that you would have had with the condensed milk. No, no.

I think you'll be jealous of this, my Italian friend. I went to Italy. No! Break! What did you have as well? I considered some gelati. I'm getting lightheaded real bad. I considered some gelati.

Oh, yeah. Realised I wasn't in the mood for that. So I went to New Zealand. No! Fuck off! Fuck off! That's the right way back, I guess. Are you fucking kidding?

You don't have a respect for your job? You don't fucking tell them. You just went to Italy just to see if you wanted gelato and then changed your mind. Yeah, I just considered it. And then I had a delicious ice cream made from beautiful New Zealand cow. You had ice cream anyway.

You went to New Zealand, you had ice cream anyway because you just wanted a different type of jolardi? There's only a few ways that I can see this being real. Yeah. In an hour. Speed tunnels under the earth. surface? Which I don't know about. I have no idea if that exists. You have to ask the mole

man about that. To... It's impossible. A superjet. No. Do you have a super jet? Do you have a super jet, cunt? No. If you do, you have to tell us. I don't have a super jet.

Look me in the fucking eye and tell me you don't have a super jet. All I have is this here, my key. What? That's right. I just got the bust. The Chaston Food Court. Of course. I don't know how we didn't guess that by now. this far into the podcast, how did we not guess? How did we not guess that it was just Chadston food court he went to?

Chaston Shopping Center. Chatsden Shopping Center. At Chatsden, they have foods representing all different parts of the world. Yes. And most food courts, really. Yeah. Yeah, but in Chadston there's, I think, at least two and they're big. Why all this arguing?

Why don't we head on over to America for some hamburgers? We don't have the time, bro. We don't have the time. We don't have the time. It's too late to do that. I'm fucking poor, man. I don't financially just get you, you think it's that fucking easy

just get on a fucking flight and fly to L.A. Cost of living, fuckhead. You think I can afford because I feel like, you're a cunt. I feel like you are so mean and you're keeping a super jet secret from us for sure

to be able to on the whim or you know, or you married a moment and then you know about the tunnels, the super tunnels underneath the earth. That transport you in pods, in pods that use kinetic energy to just shoot you through the earth's core in a matter of seconds.

Either that is the case. No. Or it's probably chast them, let's hear him out. Let's hear him out. I'm this close to just fucking throttling him. Yeah. It better be, this better be good.

This better be good. Or it better be chance. Because otherwise it means you're keeping a secret about it. Or you're just super travelling. I don't have the fucking money. I'm in a bad place right now. I don't have the fucking money. I've been throwing around in international travel.

I put it all on the dogs, man. I went to the course. He's lost all these money on the dogs, the dish lickers. All right? He went down to Melton. I had a hot tip. I was assured. I was assured of a victory.

This dish licker. He went down to put money on. the dish lickers, right? I'd accomplish, I work hard, I don't have the money to be spending on flights or willy-nilly to get a lunch. So you just be fucking ready. My uncle's cousin fucked me.

He said he had a hot tip. I trusted him. What was the dog's name? Grievous Malacca. Grievous Malacca. Where'd he come? It came ninth. Jesus.

Out of eight. It doesn't make any sense. Well, you, where you why? So you want us to go to America? What's your budget? I'll tell you my budget. I have 20 grand to spend. Well, we could...

You have 20 grand. I've got 2,500 bucks to my name. Yeah, right. I can chip in if you need the flights. I've got 20 grand locked away. I'm not supposed to touch it. You won't need that 20 grand. I got a hot tip out of a dog, man.

Yeah, if you give me your 25. Who is it? It's, it's, um, jebus hum. Jebus hum, they reckon is going to come. Fuck yeah. They reckon second. I'll give you 25 and 100 right now. They've spoken to the dogs.

They've trained the dogs to come in. If you put in your 25 and my 20. Takes the bait bite biter? Yeah, I can fucking, I can double it. I can double it by the weekend. Shit, yeah. Or we can go to America. You don't need $20,000.

You don't even need $2,500. Well, that's sick. All you need is the bus fare and $45 because we're going to grilled at the Chadston Food Court. That was great. At number six, and this is the last one for this week. Why? Am I guess?

Yeah. Because I don't remember any of the podcasts we've ever done. Is it a guest one? Yes. Is it American Mark? No, not American Mark. Garth Reynolds.

Garth Edwards. What? What's it? Who's Garth Edwards? He's the comic book writer? Can you look up who Garth Edwards is? He's,

he does. He directed Rogue One. We've not done a book. You need to stop with your Disney Life here, you, man. He's a director. You need to relate to us on human terms. Yeah, we can't keep talking. You boys both love the movies.

Don't start acting like you don't love the movie. No, but the movie. in general. He also did that one with the people with the, you can see through their heads. I didn't love it. He shot it on a on LLRs. I saw no other choice. Seen that fucked up film? No, I haven't seen that. Do you know what I watched the other day? This is the wrong

podcast to talk about it, but I watched both of the new 28 years later's. Oh yeah. I saw the new one last night. My best movies of Sam very long time. I fucking love Alex Garland. He's gone to the point or he knows what the fuck he's doing. Since we're talking about movies, number six is a movie. Oh.

About movie. And it has a guest and it's about the best film ever, Rango. Ah, yes, the Rango religion. Well, that was Alexi, wasn't it? I would describe Cameron James as blonde. It's Cameron James. I would not describe Cameron James as a red. That was Cameron James.

I would. Orban, but on the spectrum of it. I didn't realize. Was he not? I know that you, you know. Does he not classify himself as? You ring him an ass. A red-headed man?

Well, let's ring him in a. I don't know. I don't have that. I mean, first of all, I thought it was Alexi, so I got no idea what I'm talking about. But when I think of Cam James, I think of a mousy brown. Yeah.

Maybe I'm wrong. And look, I don't know. It's not for me. Yeah. Yeah, it's right. I don't think it's that big of a, I know if it's that much of a hot button topic. I'm calling him on Facebook Messenger the chances of him answering him a fucking low,

but, you know, I think it's worth. I mean, he has a wife and a life, so he's probably busy with either one of those things. Maybe he's in strife. And maybe he could be polishing his knife. I know he's got a big one. Or he's five. He could be playing the five. He's a multi-instrumentalist.

That's enough. Yeah. I don't care anymore. It's us. We created a religion around Rango. All of this? That was fun. I remember that.

I do remember that. Yep. Wow. That was a great top 10 to 6. We haven't played it yet. We haven't played it yet. Can I stop for a sec? Let's just put the brakes on.

Can we stop? Mark, when you said that me drinking strawberry milk makes me have no hair on my dick, it made me feel this big, mate. Oh, the same size as your dick. Oh. Oh my God.

No, no. Broden, I'm sorry. I know I've seen your monster slong. I didn't know. I didn't know it was a roast podcast. Yeah, it is a roast. I didn't know it was a roast. Are you familiar with roasting, Cameron?

Yeah, I love to roast. Sunday roast. We love roasting. Do you want me to do a bit of a roast interview? I want to apologize, Broden. Broden, I want to apologize. Can I just apologize? Yeah, Brodard's going to apologize.

I'm sorry. I had to go for it. You know I didn't mean it. You know you got a big fat cock. And that when, when I, and, you know, it was a stupid joke, and I'm sorry. He was kidding, I think. Thanks, Mark, for saying that.

It goes a bit of the way to me feeling better about what you just did. But it's not just you. There's two other people in this room complicit in the joke. That's true. Because it takes two to tango. Okay. And three to Lengo. And I agree with you.

And four to share a mango. I mean, like, is that not true? Two people could share a mango How? How? How? Stop! Stop! We are tearing each other apart. It takes five people to watch the film Rango. No, not true, though.

Do you know what Rangos said? No, but it does, it does. It does. Do you know what Rango said? It takes one person to watch Rango. It takes one person to watch Rango. Can you listen to this. When Rango rose from the dead,

three days after his death, he said to his disciples, so long as there are five or more gathered in my name, name, that is a church. Rango is not Jesus, man, and Jesus didn't say five. Jesus said two. Ranggo said five. unaware of the mythology around the film Rango and of the great five,

who were in the cinema complex, the Rango five. The Rango five. You are making this up as we go. Look, we've gotten off to war. There is no Rango law. There is no Rango law, Cam. There are ten Rango laws.

There are 10. There are 10. No, L-O-R-E! Oh, Rango Law. Well, I mean, the stories that have been passed down from generation to generation, the great Rango book,

the film itself. Obviously, the law changes and evolves. I mean, my great-granddad's Rango stories were different to mine and my great-grandchild's stories, I'm sure, will be different. And Rango at its core, and Rangoism at its core

is a very humanist faith. Rango is one animated film. Yes. Rango is one animated film from about 15 years ago. Yes. And that is the end of it. No. No, no, no, no.

That's the beginning. Well, that is the beginning of our understanding of Rango. Much like the ocean, Broden. You've only explored, what, 5% of Rango. No, there is one Rango movie that didn't warrant any more Rango movies made, and that's the end of the Rango law. You know why there were no more movies, because he said that must be so. Rango said that to us.

He said that to the five. No, he did it. We found out after the fact, after the movie didn't do that well. Yeah, because only five people went and saw it. The Rango Five. They found some old writings from Rango and he said there shall be no more than one film. So to be clear, Rango, the film was the beginning of our understanding of the stories being told. It wasn't the beginning.

The beginning was there was nothing. There was once nothing, no time, no space. No, you're just, he wears a shirt, Broden. Rango said, let there be a universe. Yeah. The lizard wears a shirt. Rango, the lizard, wears a shirt. Is John Depp?

All there was... Is John Depp? All there was was Rango. Wares a shirt is John Depp. And nothing. No time. No. Hawaiian shirt.

Wait, if there's nothing... Rango... No, no, no, no, you're telling me... Hawaiian shirt. There were shirts. No, no, no, there was one Rango. And one shirt. One Rango shirt.

Hawaiian shirt. He wears shirt. But there were no shirts. Is John Depp. He's John Depp. He's John Depp. He's John Depp. No.

No. How can he be is John Depp? You don't get it, man. You got to watch the movie. Dude. I've seen Rangel. Wake up. Right.

That was great. Yeah, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was a great top 10 through six. But now, I can't wait for next week. We'll be taking a couple of weeks. Or we'll be back. You never know.

It really is. We do genuinely have a plan for how much time we're taking off. And we're not going to fucking tell you and you're just going to have to figure it out. your Sunday if your Patreon or Wednesday is going to come by. You're going to be sitting there wondering, not knowing if it'll be in your Spotify. Fuck you. See you next week. I love you.
