Yeah. Why am I so upset by this? I don't know. Sorry about that, everyone.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Sorry. Do we need a second to regroup? Can you just like tell me something nice? That I love you? Nicer. No, I've got nothing. Hi, I'm Ruth from Devon in the UK, and this is Frankie. Hi, this is Billy Brousseau from Chick-Massachusetts.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Hi, I'm Simone from Greensparatt, and I approve this podcast. Hello and welcome. My name is Ryan. This is Tony. Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. If you're new here, thank you so much for joining us. If you've been here for ages, also. Now, on Thursday, we do normal or nah. Thanks to everyone who sent these in either to the Tony and Ryan Facebook group or Tony and Ryan.com.com. you, we start with Tarpa Brooke. Hi, Tarpa Brooke.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Oh, sorry, can we just say that we know that everyone's been on the edge of their seats? Seeing as yesterday, Ryan hooked this as normal or nah, the fruit and vegetable addition. Is cucumber a fruit or a vegetable? Because if it's a fruit, I can just call this whole thing a fruit addition. Well, I would consider it a vegetable, but I think because it has seeds, it makes it a fruit. Oh, well, then it's just the fruit edition of normal or nah. Oh, well, then if you were hanging around for vegetables, you can fuck off. We'll come back next Thursday.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Yeah, but who knows? I'll have to find some vegetable normal on ours down. I love cucumber. Yeah. And do you know what I love is that now they're rebranding the baby ones as kukes? Like, you know how they, like the brand is like, kukes? I've been calling cucumbers kukes rages. So am I miss aging them?
Starting point is 00:03:47 I don't think, I don't know. But like, you know how then you get the baby ones? Yeah, and they're like called kukes now. I love that. Cute kukes. Yeah, cute kukes. Camilla, let's start with her. I've changed my mind.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Hi, Camilla. uh my wife says camilla uh when she needs half a cucumber for a salad she just snaps it in half with her bare hands hot then she slices the cucumber with a knife and i'm like why the fuck did you not use the knife to have it she said it's just easier that way i also think the raw animal magnitude of uh snapping something with your hands just feels really good camilla it sounds like you're married to an alpha dog i love that because you know when you're like um teaching it who's boss. Cnapping.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Like, you know, when you like have to snap the ends off beans or, um, asparagus or whatever, it's just so satisfying.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Mm. So I don't do that, but normal. On a tough scale. Yeah. Like zero being like, and 10 being like mad dog with Tats and rides a bike.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Where is snapping a keuk in half with your bare hands? That might be 10. I think that's pretty bold. And the other thing is they bruise quite easily. So you've got to get a quick snap so that they, so that they don't, like, get full juicy. Pussies. You know?
Starting point is 00:05:02 You got to do a quick one. You can't, like, fuck around with it. Yeah, so true. It would also have to be fresh, because, you know, when you get a cucumber, that's been in the fridge for a bit and it's like, yeah, and it just like bends in half. Like rubber.
Starting point is 00:05:14 You fold in half and you just put it back in the drawer. Yeah, that's that. I'll use that next time. Yeah. Oh. Hello, green bin. Nope. Sorry, I just said that like it's a thing.
Starting point is 00:05:26 It's not. Yeah. If this is your first episode, we don't say that. Like, just in case you think that we're... I think we should start. Hello, green bin. Oh, hello green bin. Oh, hello green bin.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Like compost bin. Yeah, we got it. Yeah, we got it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if those bins and mama's green, what would you think it was? Clearly compost and garden waste. In Australia.
Starting point is 00:05:49 In Western Australia, sorry, the green bin is the garbage. So it's like all dark green like the lids. Yeah. Fuck, I lived there for four years and did not know that. Yeah. Sorry. Anyway. Normal enough from Brooke.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Hi, Brooke. And I've actually got a prop because Tony and Lily made fruit and veg magnets. Yeah, now what's this one? That one's a tomato. Oh, I was the same as your shirt. This one is a. Strawby. So the tomato was one of mine.
Starting point is 00:06:20 That's one of Lills, the strawberry. She did a very good job. Very good job. Tarpa Brooke says, throwing whole strawberries into a smoothie because I'm too, lazy to rip the green bit off the top. Oh. Now, a part of me thinks maybe there's like a bit of fiber and greeny goodness in it,
Starting point is 00:06:37 but the other half makes me think strawberry smoothies are like sweet and delicious and that's just going to be earthy and dank. I have never... Oh, a green bin. Hello, green bin. Oh, sorry, yeah. I've never put a strawberry in a smoothie before. Like, I don't think I've ever put a strawberry in a smoothie before.
Starting point is 00:06:56 That is Is that crazy? Yeah Fuck dude That's like Strawberries are expensive I can't be throwing whole ones yet That's up
Starting point is 00:07:09 What are you going to A whole punnet in there That's just so So So I don't know why I'm so upset by that Me either But I've just never thought
Starting point is 00:07:18 To put a straw ups in there Hello green bin Me Pop me in the compost What are you putting it in there? um well i like a green smoothie but a green smoothie tucked two strobs in there yeah i would probably normally do i don't think there's any smoothie that two strawberries wouldn't make better yeah no i'm like i fully get what you're saying no i don't think i'm normally um because i like a juicy smoothie
Starting point is 00:07:46 not like a milky smoothie so put a strawberry in no so i hear strawberry and i think like oh strawberry banana yogurt whereas I would probably I wouldn't do that I would do like then don't put the banana or yoga in
Starting point is 00:08:01 no but that's just like I don't know why like I've just just like in my mind that's where are we've had to do normal on our strawberries in smoothies because no
Starting point is 00:08:11 but the sweetness I would normally get from like if I did like frozen pineapple or mango or something I just yeah why am I so upset by this I don't know
Starting point is 00:08:22 I would I just have never thought of it before I'm happy to try it and you love trying new crazy things I do yeah I don't think I would leave the green bit on though I think I think because it just doesn't take long to just like snap it off brook how busy are you
Starting point is 00:08:38 yeah now this one's sorry about that everyone sorry do we need a second to regroup can you just like tell me something nice that I love you nicer oh I love that you and I love strawberries in a smoothie. It was like something nice.
Starting point is 00:08:57 It was like something. Tony's just found a chilly dog toy on the couch. I meant something. I just meant like something nice to take my mind off the strawberries and then you just said strawberries again. No, I've got nothing. Oh, welcome to the show. Hello, green bin.

Yeah, very exciting. So if you're a champion tapar in our Patreon, you'll be able to see that and listen along with us. Yep. Now, I got to Tony's house the other day. I don't want to say rattled.
Starting point is 00:14:09 That's not quite the right word. Bit excited. The guy across the street from Tony selling her house. And Tony just, like, can't comprehend this. I'm so excited. But you were just sitting there going, it's crazy. It's crazy. It does feel crazy.
Starting point is 00:14:25 I'm like, is, it's not that crazy. I think it's. Like people, he's been there for, what, 30 years? Yeah, he's been there for a long time. And his kids have, like, grown up, gotten older and they're, like, moving on. But when I came over, you must have just found out because you were just like, I just, I just, I just, I just, I don't know. It's just crazy. Well, I think.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I said I was more excited because I was like, think about the opportunity. Yeah. So you know how yesterday on the show we're talking about how if you're running late, it's because you're an optimist. I'm an optimist. I'm thinking about all the amazing things that could happen. Should we rattle them off one by one or what are we thinking here? All right.
Starting point is 00:15:06 So, well, one of the options I feel like is buy it and create mega house. I did after getting excited about this think about the reality of that Of cleaning two kitchens Well that but also like buying another house Because if we were Like if Torbs and I were to buy another house We would have to sell this house
Starting point is 00:15:35 Yeah So Like no you see what I'm getting You know, when I came around the other day, these very logical thoughts hadn't come through yet. No. But I'm something, we should have recorded the other day. Because you were like, I'm going to buy them. We're going to be this and I'm going to.
Starting point is 00:15:56 But wouldn't you, hypothetically, if we were buying the both. Yeah. Wouldn't you rather like one nice big kitchen instead of just another smaller one? Well, because I was like, we could knock it. Like, knock the fence down, join them, you know. Yeah. I'm thinking mega house. Instead of having no garage, you could have more space with still no garage.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Yeah. Yes. I was like, there are very minimal benefits. Because for me, like, and everybody knows this about me, that I'm wet for life. Not currently. Can't currently get wet. We have a countdown on our, we have a website countdown right now to www. warkspynevember.com.
Starting point is 00:16:35 That's when Tony will be out of her moon boot. Because my surgeon has said that I will be. be in Birx by November. Don't know when I'll be able to swim. I reckon by then. If you're in Birx, you can swim. I'm hoping by then. Synonymous, I think.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Bourbon and Coke. So currently I'm not wet. I feel like the first time I get wet since this, we've got to live stream that, we've got to do something with that. So true. We have to. Are you implying that you're going to buy the house next door so you can swim
Starting point is 00:17:02 because that house also does not have a pool? No, no, no. Okay. So this is where I'm going with. Sorry, I've eaten a lot of Apple. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:09 I am wet for life. I am I really wish we had a pool like this is you know and so if torbs and I were to move that is like actually my non-negoti like if we are like we will not buy another house without a pool like we've actually decided that's what's important to you and the other thing that we've said that we wouldn't buy a house without is a garage so I know what we'll do we'll buy a place across the street which has also no garage and also no pool but could we then just like say we live over here, but we park and swim over there. But there's no...
Starting point is 00:17:43 Wouldn't that be good? We're going to swim. We'd have to put a pool in. Yeah. And a garage. And so... Why don't you put a pool in the back of your own house and a garage at the front of your own house?
Starting point is 00:17:54 Yeah. Or you could buy another house and not have room for those. So this is kind of where we're getting to. Is that now we're like, okay. I regret not talking about this the other day. No, because I think that this is... I'm pretty sure your sister was moving in next door on the stage. Oh, I've actually said.
Starting point is 00:18:08 the link to quite a few people who I thought like how cool would like it would actually be awesome if live you live next door I know that you keep saying no but I actually think that would be great who's the person that annoys the fuck out of you the most in this world that I love the most but who annoys the fuck out of you but I love the most I think you're in a good distance no but it's a healthy distance no if she was right there oh you would fucking hate it. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. And she probably would too.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Because your sisters, what do sisters do? They fight and they make up and they fight. And you've got this perfect sort of 20 minute drive, what I would call, the drive is the cooling off period. But see, don't you think that if we live...
Starting point is 00:18:55 By the time to get back here, you're not as fucked off. If we lived right next to each other, the second that I'd got to be fucked off, I could come home. But I can't do that when I'm 20 minutes like. Yeah, but then you'd just be marching back and forth. And you're like,
Starting point is 00:19:06 she doesn't fucking. came over for two days. And there's no, there's no cooling off here because you just come over. And then every time something happened. Yeah. Like you'd look over and there'd be a light on. She goes,
Starting point is 00:19:17 oh, she got a fucking light on, but she got messaged me. Oh, fucking go. Yeah. Left me on red. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:22 But can still put the oven on. Yeah. Oh, imagine if she had a friend over. I'd get so jealous. You'd be so jealous. I'd be so jealous. Wait,
Starting point is 00:19:32 send it to leave. Or imagine if we had to record a podcast here. Oh, and she was like, I'll just pop round. I'll just fucking sit right here in between you. Don't mind me. And she would too.
Starting point is 00:19:40 She would do. I would love it. No, you wouldn't. You would hate it. Then you would come to work and we'd have to hear all about it. Oh, sorry for sharing my life with you. I'll just go fuck myself. Does anyone similar to everybody loves Raymond, like live next door to their mom and dad or a brother or something?
Starting point is 00:19:59 Sorry, but isn't everybody loves Raymond just a fucking blast from the past? I haven't thought about that show in years. Yeah. I don't know why. canes me but does his parents live across the street yeah um and the brother lives with them doesn't he or something yeah yeah robert barone he's a great character oh ray man you know had a really low voice so now that we've had time to reflect where yeah where you were um well i will say the huge wake-up call was that i can't afford two houses can'tcha that that was a that was
Starting point is 00:20:30 shocker yeah like obviously cost of living crisis works in podcasting so basically doesn't work. Yeah. I go into the bank and they go, so you don't have a job. I go pretty, pretty much. Are you to apply for a job? Yeah. She bought a job at the bank.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Um, and then, yeah. We used to be with Spotify. It would be. Yeah. Oh, does that get me alone? Are you interested in that? Um, I do think though that it does feel crazy that somebody close is like, because we like new neighbors is an opportunity for new friends.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Yeah, remember when you're your ex. When you moved here for years ago, your expectations were so high and it just set you up for disappointment. But I feel like we're getting there. After three years. Like we chat all the time and we catch up. When was the last time one of them were in here? Oh, no. They haven't been inside.
Starting point is 00:21:25 I've been in there and not just for like during an open home, but not the one that they're selling. But like at Christmas time, I went around, took a present and we stayed for a drink and stuff. And when he said, do you want to come in, you were like, oh. No, we went in there. Yeah, but you were, that's not what you thought was happening. No, it wasn't. And I thought I was just driving the present off and then like, you know. What was the present for?
Starting point is 00:21:45 Just for Christmas. What did you get him again? I just took everyone a box of chokies. That's nice. With a ball on it. You want her a nice neighbour. And it said like, from Tony and Alex, like Tony, Alex and Pippa number 12 or whatever. Like, I don't live at number 12.
Starting point is 00:22:01 But I didn't want to say what number I am. I was going to say, do the people at number 12? They go, oh, they don't live here. They message the group. They go, there's impostors in the street. Or maybe Tony's reverse psychologying the scammers. Yeah, maybe. What I'll do is I'll say my real number and then say clearly that's a fake.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Yeah. But like. If we know your birthday and now we know which number you live in. Yeah. What would that give you? Your identity. Oh. But a few of the neighbours actually have messaged about my foot, like messaged me.
Starting point is 00:22:31 I've been like, how's everything going? Like, do you need anything? which is very sweet. And have they followed through or it's just empty offers? They didn't, no, they just asked me how I was. How is that an empty offer? Can I do anything? They didn't say, can I do anything?
Starting point is 00:22:46 Oh, they should be doing more. What? They should be doing more. Okay. If my neighbour had broken their foot and I pretend to care about them. Do you want to move in across the road? No. No, thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I asked Charles, he said no. It's not Charles's style. Do you know who else I offered the house to? Ooh. Or see if you can guess who you think I'm missing. It's someone we both know, obviously. Was that Tim Collins? No, he's just moved out your way, actually.
Starting point is 00:23:15 He's living in an Eltham now. Tim Collins? Yeah. Yeah, he's not my neighbour anymore. He's my neighbour. Jesse, Watkins. Is he looking to buy? Yeah, they've been looking for a while, like kind of around this area.
Starting point is 00:23:29 He would do good there. That's what I said. Howard Torbs go knowing a very attractive man lives next. door. Well, yeah. I did sat at doors. I said, I said it. Jesse, you went, did you? How would, um, is Jessica got a partner? Yep. They're engaged. How would his fiance feel knowing there's a sexual tension happening over the bank fence. Yeah. Yeah. Well, he said, I'm just going to Tony's to help clean the pool. Yeah. She goes, I didn't think she had a pool. She's on pool. Yeah. Some sweat over there. That's a show. But yeah, so we've realized that if we were to move, um, it would be for a pool and that
Starting point is 00:24:02 we can't afford two houses basically that's what was what would be disappointing would be that if you moved in the future and jesse's like what see this is the other thing i didn't even leave you uprooted there so i've moved in and then you fucked off so i said that i was like what if you move in and then we move because i would love to move somewhere with a pool and i don't we don't need a lot but i would love to move somewhere with pool so it's kind of like if that could happen tomorrow we would like do that. Yeah. So say then the right house who pops up and their house doesn't even settled yet.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Yeah. But there. What could have been. Yeah. Um, yeah. So a lot of logistics. I just hope that whoever moves in is lovely because what if we get some evil neighbor?
Starting point is 00:24:48 Like, because our street is so great. What if we get some? I would say that because all of your neighbors are so great, like the law of averages would suggest that the person probably has to be evil. Oh. Like, how lucky can a street get? That's true.
Starting point is 00:25:03 I mean, I already live here. Maxed out. Right. Yeah. I got to love to see it here from Georgia Chin. Hi, Georgia. On, if you'd like to live next order, Tony, realestate.com. Dot,com.
Starting point is 00:25:16 George's, number 12, 13, that's the one across the road. Any number 13. Or 11. Oh, yeah. Number chat. Or 15. Because over the road, that's, like, right. three give or take and it doesn't have a pool or a car up good luck with the search
Starting point is 00:25:39 should we just put the link in the show no chuckles um georgia oh you're all right with your ipad old man my love to see it is oh i can't get the wink on the blink on to work you're lashing out i am sorry i called you out for the next door purchase and you're lashing out yeah you did but i came to my own census, do you know what I mean? After we told you. But I came to my own census. Mabel's going through this phase where like she's doing things that someone else did. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:26:13 Like she'll come down. But takes after her mother. Oh, wouldn't a table and chairs be a good idea? But another one of Bridget's inventions. No, but like Bridget will come down from the bedroom and go, oh, coffee, toast. And Mabel's like, yeah, I made it for you, mom. And I'm like, oh. Did you?
Starting point is 00:26:32 And Bridger's like, oh, that's cute. And Mabel's like, and she knows what she's doing. So actually she's taking after you. That's a bit of you energy, I feel. Claiming credit for stuff I haven't done. Yeah. What's something I've claimed that didn't actually do?
Starting point is 00:26:52 Oh, you do it a lot. You ever like it? It's more of a vibe. Georgia, my love to see it, is also. I'll start the fucking blog. Nice. I have three sons, says Georgia. Had some mental health issues after each of the kids, you know, some postpartum, sort of
Starting point is 00:27:10 tricky times and stuff. And so I have a great empathy for other pregnant people or people who have just given birth. So I've now leaned into this interest and I'm now a douler. I've started my own business as being a doula. I'm positively fizzing with excitement and anticipation. So for anybody that doesn't. I don't know what a doula is. A doula is not a nurse, but it's more of like...
Starting point is 00:27:35 Like they're not a midwife, right? No. Just they're there purely to support the person giving birth. So we had a doula and they're taking care of you. They're taking care of everything. Sometimes the doctors come and explain stuff in like real medical jargon. Totally. And often in the heat of the battle, you can't advocate for yourself because you're in pain.
Starting point is 00:27:53 And the dole's like, nope, this is our plan. This is what's happening. They get to be the bad guy. They get to be the bad guy. but they also like, you know, just another pair of hands, like taking care of you and going, okay, so that doctors said this, what that means in real terms is blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Just a real emotional support, real emotional support, but also like physical support that they're like, actually they're holding your hand.
Starting point is 00:28:13 It'd be good if you were like a single parent giving birth. Yep. And you didn't have like, or maybe your family lived out of state or whatever and you needed some support. Or your husband saw blood and he's like passed out on the chair and the birth sweep. Yeah. That did happen, didn't it? Um, after the birth, our Dooler came around to the house to hang out with Mabel when she was a week old or something. Oh, that's nice.
Starting point is 00:28:35 And she also came and like, clean the house, cooked his dinner, like, really took care of it. That's beautiful. Obviously, most Doolers are going to be the nurturing soul of the earth. Yeah. And she came over and said, it was a real honour to take care of both of you. All three. All three. Mom, Dad and Mabel.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Now, they don't actually let the, this is how much our Dooler meant to us. When you go into the final, final bits, because the tricky bits at the end of Bridget's pregnancy, she wasn't allowed into the surgeon area, like when they're doing what they need to do. And so I was like, you've been with us for 40 hours straight. Yeah. I am not letting you not see this baby. And so then after Mabel was born, they whispered it away to take care of her. So then I actually left with Mabel to go and hang out in the waiting room to show.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Well, I remember you saying that was like your real special time that you got with Mabes just like one on one. Yeah, but I made sure I went out and spent some time with her. I'm like, you've been with us for 40 hours. You've fucking been through with us. It's like, you're going to see like the literal fruit of labour. I was like, you can't go home. Yeah. Like, it's like such a cliffhanger.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Yeah. It's not the end of the Zodiac Killer movie with Jake Gyllen Hall in it. Like the movie just finishes and you go, well, who was the killer? And they go, yeah, so we used to. don't know. Yeah. It's actually exactly like that. It was.
Starting point is 00:30:01 And I got out there and she goes... Spoilers. You haven't seen it? Well, there's nothing to spoil. Yeah. So the Dooler looks at Mabel and you know what she whispered to Mabel? She goes, So do you know who the Zodiac Killer was?
Starting point is 00:30:17 And Mabel goes, no. She goes, fuck. Anyway, I'm going home to bed. Yeah. Oh, well. Good, good chasse all, everyone. I've had a long day. Yeah.
