Hello? G'day, Will. Oh, Tony, what? Hi, how are you? Oh, sorry, Ryan's here as well. Sorry to interrupt the stream. Oh, hey, Ryan. Oh, well, Tony, I thought it was just you and I for a minute.

Sorry. Do you want me to leave, Will? That's a soft yes. Okay, all right, maybe. Will you approve this podcast episode? Oh, I suppose so. Oh, I suppose so. Okay, we'll tag it.

We'll tag it. Here we go, here we go. Hey, it's Will from Dundee in Scotland, and I approve Ryan podcast. Hi. My name is Ryan. I'm the vice captain of the ship, Tony Lodge. Welcome.

Welcome to me. Audio queen. Muscles from Brussels. Muscles from Brussels because you carry the show. Multimedia muscles. Tony was just accusing me before I hit record of drinking a gin. We're recording this at 9.53 in the morning. On a Saturday, though.

But I know where you're coming from. It's just like a soda water, but it's got like a funky, fun can. Yeah, and it says it's got cucumber as well. So I was like, maybe it says more about me than it does about you. I was like, something with cucumber and soda water. Where's the gin? Yeah, it's too fun to just be soda water. Maybe it's the, me than it does about you. I was like, something with cucumber and soda water. Where's the gin? Yeah, it's too fun to just be soda water. Maybe it's I'm the problem.

Someone's calling me, shall I answer? That's my mum. That's been us. Hey, mum, we're on air with Tony. Oh, I didn't think. Oh, you really? Hi, Mandy. Hi, Tony.

I was just ringing to see how you are. Why? What's wrong? I've got shingles. Ryan's got shingles. Is that why you're calling? Yes. Yeah, I'm doing all right.

I wish you were a shingle. You're in the mood. I can get a sense. Well, we're actually trying to entertain. Maybe this is why he was in a bad mood on the podcast last week or the week before. That is actually such a good point, Mandy. That probably is why he was in a bad mood last week.

He was not well. He was coming on. Here I was thinking that I was just having a rough day. I didn't need Mum and Tony just to gang up on me and tell me how awful I was last week. No, I'm not ganging up. By the way, those two Mikey cards you gave me, both were in the negative.

Mum asked for a train ticket, so I gave her two and they both had $0 on them. Well, I had negative in them. How is that possible? I don't know. It said minus. My bank balance for the trains had negative. I also like that even though I said you're on the podcast right now, I don't know. It said minus. My bank balance for the trains had negative.

I also like that even though I said you're on the podcast right now, that didn't deter you from whatever you wanted to say. And it shouldn't. Nothing will, really. Because usually, well, usually you go, I've got two minutes, goodbye. Well, is there anything else that you wanted to talk about, Mandy? There was one other thing I was going to comment on. Oh, God, now it's gone out of my brain. That's all right.

We've got time. We've got time, mate. You take your time. Oh, my God, the production. It was the best thing I've ever, ever, ever seen. Well, give everyone a review. What did you go and see? Oh, did you go and see a show?

The Picture of Dorian Gray. Oh, I've heard it's absolutely phenomenal. Oh, my God, it was exceptional. Oh. Oh, the picture of Dorian Gray. Oh, I've heard it's absolutely phenomenal. It was exceptional. Oh, stunning. She was on stage for two hours, 20 solo show, but the production was, there were, I reckon, eight people with cameras. So they were all shooting her and then it had video that fitted in. She played 32 characters. Oh. Whoa. It was stunningly amazing. Oh, I have heard it's very good. That's a great review, Mandy.

That is a great review. How many stars? Out of five, I don't know, ten. Okay, mum was a teacher, hopefully not maths. She was an art teacher, not a maths teacher, so that's good to know. I did maths at uni, by the way. Well, apparently not. Did they do counting up to five at your uni? Must have been the uni Ryan

went to. Hey, I'll maybe chat to you when we're not mid-podcast, alright? Oh, I thought you were having a relaxed day and looking after yourself. Well, I should be, but, you know, showbiz, the show must go on. Well, you sound okay, so I'm pleased.

That's all. I just wanted to know you were up and vertical and didn't have a headache and were feeling lousy. Yeah. Well, I am, but I'm just pretending I'm not. No, I don't think so. I could tell. Tony just rolled her eyes as I said that and you called me out.

So, no, I'm actually not feeling that bad. Well, I think that's great. So keep taking those little antiviral tablets, whatever they are, and you'll be fine. Okay. Thanks, Mum. Bye. Thanks, Mandy.

Bye. Bye. Geez, isn't it nice to have the drugs to take care of my shingles? That's not what you were going to say. No. And then you remembered how emotional a week I've had and you thought, you know what, I'm not going to be a jerk

right now I'm not going to be a dick right now It was very lovely, you sharing a story on Friday by the way Lots of nice comments We'll get to some feedback later on Hot start to the week though Should we start the fucking show? How's mum? Oh, we're actually live on the podcast

Yeah, yeah, cool, cool, cool How embarrassing, she goes Have you got a train ticket? Should we start the fucking show? How's mum? Oh, we're actually live on the podcast. Yeah, yeah, cool, cool, cool. Yeah, so that's my key cards. How embarrassing, she goes, have you got a train ticket? And I was like, yep, use mine. And they had not only $0, less than zero. As soon as she tapped on, the police were probably like, oh, go, go, go, it's him again, it's him again. Give me $6.80.

Tony. Yes. Everyone knows that you stick up for the people. You're the hero. I try. Of the people. I want to say common man because that sounds like a put down. But basically right now I'm hiring you to be what I'm going

to call the workers advocate. So I. You're sticking up for workers. What's that called? The union. Tony. I'm a union leader. I've got some job ads here that people have sent through

from around the world, and I reckon the union queen might have something to say about these because I want to stick up for people getting a job. All right. So recently on the podcast we talked about, you know, like an entry-level job that needs five years' experience, that kind of thing. Is that what we're talking about?

Mate, I'm actually fucked off and I haven't even started reading these yet. Oh, okay. All right. Now, I'm not in a bad mood. I'm just passionate. Okay. And you're the union leader.

Do you want to be the union leader? I don't know. Maybe I'll fall. Maybe I'll join you. I'm just the butter to the union. I'm the deputy union leader. Deputy, yeah. A job for a social media executive said they required someone

with seven plus years of TikTok experience in a professional setting. TikTok was acquired and relaunched by Musical.ly in 2017, by the way, making it about five or six years old. So, Tony, the work is advocate. What would you like to tell that employer? Okay, so you need me to have seven plus years experience for an app that hasn't even been around for that long? Fuck off.

It's literally just some old fucking white guy that went, whoa, we need to be in a leadership position, you've got to have seven years' experience. So seven years of TikTok, minimum. I had to do seven years in my shit job before I got my promotion. That's what it is. It's fucking like paying it back. Instead of paying it forward, they're paying it back.

And they're like, oh, I got treated like shit when I was young. And now you cop it as well. So now I'm going to make you cop it. Even though these people don't deserve to cop it because being good at TikTok is actually a talent that I don't have. So I... And also, people in jobs just generally that aren't in social media or whatever actually just don't understand how it works.

I've worked somewhere where they would be like, well, we've got to post on Instagram seven times a day. I'm like, it actually doesn't work like that. Is that some old white guy read an article on Forbes one time and was like, oh, I've read up on it, I know how to do it, seven times a day. No, because they're like, to do better, post more. I'm like, but it actually doesn't work like that.

The algorithm, and I know that's a scary word, and a word we all like to throw around in the workplace. Didn't think the union boss would be bringing the algorithm into this. Yeah, but the algorithm is the best weapon you can use, apparently, because it doesn't work like that. It turns out it needs to be good. It has to be like, oh, how do I make a video go viral? The video has to be good.

There's no secret. It's like, oh, if you post at 13 minutes past 3am every morning, the video is going to go viral. That's the secret. They don't put that on the box. Like there's actually just no secret time. I've been hired by media companies as a consultant who are like, hey, hey, hey, tell me the secret.

Let us in on it. Yeah, and I go, you want to know the secret? It has to be good. And they go, yeah, no, but what else can we do? It doesn't matter what fucking time you post. It just doesn't. People are on their phone 24-7. Thank you, workers' advocate.

Sorry. This is a tweet from Sebastian Ramirez. Thanks, Sebastian. I saw a job ad the other day looking for someone with four years' experience in FastAPI, which must be some technical thing. Yeah. I personally created FastAPI myself 18 months ago.

Yep. Torbs actually told me about this tweet. Really? How good is it? Yep. So am I, the person who created this product, not experienced enough to get the job? And if I'm not, who is?

Yep, you are underqualified for what they want. Yeah. Isn't that just right? I get it. People make that just right? I get it. People make mistakes, right? Yep. But it is so ridiculous that they're just like, oh, yeah, four years, arbitrary amount.

It's like do you know what the opposite of that is though when people are like, oh, four plus years Microsoft Word. Yeah, it's been around for that long, but four years' experience using Microsoft Word is actually probably not that different to, like, two months. Yeah. Like, what more can you learn? Or if I've just been typing on Microsoft Word for 30 years,

there's probably 98% of the program that I don't know how to use. Yeah. But I can type. But also neither does the jerk that's hiring you. Yes. All they know how to do is change the size and the font. How do you save it? They can't even fucking print preview probably.

Control S, yeah, checks out, you're hired. Yeah, nice. Right click, left click, yeah, I've seen it all. Yeah. A magazine in London. Oh, this one fucks me right off. A magazine in London is looking for an intern graphic designer to work for free to be considered for this unpaid intern role you must have two to four years experience

and be willing to use your own computer which they expect has all the latest up-to-date you know graphic design software you photoshop your indesign all that sort of stuff so you need to bring your own equipment pay for your own equipment and have two to four years' experience. Someone applied and when they found that out said, oh, sorry, I thought this was a paid position and I'm going to go. But I'm guessing what they really wanted to say was. Fuck you.

Fuck you. Yeah. How can you have four years' experience? Imagine being in the workforce for four years, like, and, you know, trying to get up your chops or whatever. Yeah, building your portfolio. And then being like, oh, I need to take a pay cut to do this. Pay cut or just 100% pay cut?

Yeah, but if you've had experience, that means you're getting paid to do the job because they never include your uni years' experience, which is fucking ridiculous. They mean like commercial experience. So fucked. Sorry, I'm actually seeing spots. Should I? When I saw this, I thought this would be fun.

I didn't think it would be triggering. I feel like we're triggered. I think because. You've been in this. You've got a bit of this. Well, because when you finish uni, you're like, I'll do would be triggering. I feel like we're triggered. I think because. You've been in this. You've got a bit of this. Well, because when you finish uni, you're like, I'll do anything. Yeah. And so you do take unpaid internships where you get taken fucking advantage of.

Yeah. And I hate the thought of people getting taken advantage of for the sake of like corporates or businesses being too fucking cheap to pay somebody for their time. They're desperate for experience. We could probably get away with not paying them. Yeah, and taking advantage of that. Yeah. Or hiring, like calling something a junior position

so that you can pay them 50 grand instead of 70. Like I just think that that is so revolting. And also the other thing, if you aren't putting a pay that you're supposed to be getting on like LinkedIn or the ad or whatever, that is one of the biggest contributors to the pay gap of like genders and everything like that, minorities, fuck you. You're not an ally if you're not doing things like that.

We need to be opening up the conversation. Coming up next. Sorry, this is taking a turn. Yeah, it's taking a turn. This is not what I expected, but I'm also not hating it. I mean, we had your mum give the fucking player review and tell us about the MyK a turn. Yeah, it's taking a turn. This is not what I expected. But I'm also not hating it. I mean, we had your mum give the fucking player review and tell us about the MyKey cards. Yeah, it's only fair.

I hope this is no one's first episode. I feel like we've gone from maybe a late night fun TV slot into you know how like Sunday mornings everyone has like the political agenda shows? On the Capitol Hill this morning, Tony Lodge and the paid discrimination gap. Finally, Tony, there's a job ad there. They've actually printed this on the door of the restaurant.

Okay, can I look at this? Yeah, yeah, and just read it out. Okay. Now hiring, okay, yeah, this is just like on the door of a restaurant. Yep. Now hiring chefs looking for a low-paying but rewarding career. That is what I'm after. chefs looking for a low-paying but rewarding career apply to the best kitchen in the south four-year degree and master's degree of culinary arts with five years of experience is preferred but not required apply now inside

imagine if you go to i don't, a job employment office and they go, hey, tell me what you're after. And you go, I'm after a low paying but potentially rewarding one. Well, they'd probably work in radio. This is Will from Dundee in Scotland and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A big thank you to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon. If you want to check it out, you are more than welcome to have a look at all of the bonus stuff that we upload there. Actually, for champion tapas, yesterday, last night, we had a Christmas in July stream.

I still love that name. Thank you. Came up with it late at night, one night. Chief copy officer, Tony Lodge. I am actually, yeah. I do the creative side of things. It is an unpaid internship, but a girl needs some exposure, you know. Mario Ruska, Ashley Jean, Tara Thiessen, Michelle Elizabeth,

thank you so much, Rich Wyatt, Fabian Duke-Park, Kelsey Darnell, Josh Williams, Emma Sellers and Jasmine Dickensider. I think it's Jammin' Dickensider. Oh. Yeah, Jam My Dickensider. But it's Jasmine Dickensider. Good on you, Jasmine. I was about to say Jasmine's a beautiful name until you talked

about getting railed. Yeah, thanks, Jazz. We'll go with Jazz. Go with Jazz. On Friday's episode. Yes. We were talking about vabbing. Yes.

So if anybody doesn't know what it is. Yeah, can you please bring us up to speed real quick. So basically it's this trend that's going a bit wild on TikTok where you would put your fingers inside of your vagina. Any vagina havers could use their vaginal juice for perfume and you would swipe the vaginal juice onto your wrists or anywhere that you would normally apply perfume. Basically it's supposed to, the pheromones in that are supposed

to make whoever you're trying to attract go wild and it's a lot. Now, in the Facebook group, Tony and Ryan Podcast Facebook group. The link is in the show notes. The link is in the show notes. I feel like every episode there's lots of comments and people have thoughts and they want to share things. Yeah.

Nothing sent people more than just a lot of throwing up emojis. A lot of people are like, oh, I Googled for more info and my algorithm, my computer, there's smoke coming out of it. Algorithm again, look at us. Jeez, what is this show? Summer Anderson. Honestly, I just don't know how some girls confidently do vabbing. I know two girls who have tried it.

They saw the trend and they're like, fucking let's do it. Yeah, fair enough. And honestly, they just stunk like old fish in the dumpster behind a fish and chip shop. Now, if you hadn't thrown up already today. That actually gave me chills. Renee Melissa, if I hug my friend and they're... I know you might have seen some of these comments. If I hug my friend and they're wearing perfume,

are you da minge? Straight to jail. Oh, da minge. Oh, da minge. You da minge. No, you da minge. You da minge. Who's da minge?

You da minge. Yeah, that is horrifying. Vivian. And I know you love a Vivian. I think that if a Vivian told me that they were Vabbin', that would be a fun. If you're new to the show, Tony just gets, as you just heard, all revved up for a Vivian.

Hot and cool. If you're using Vabbin' to attract men, then I need you to search deep into the cockles of your soul and find the moment you became so fucking boring as a person that you need cuda juice to get a man's attention. Fuck me dead. In the interest of inclusivity, you could use it to attract any person, so that's fine.

What do you think about Vivian's vibe towards vabbing in general? I don't want to be harsh on it because if people want to do it, it is their right. I'm just saying it's not for me. And a bit like Renee said, I think that if I said to someone, oh, love that perfume. Is that Gucci Bloom? And they went, nah,

it's my giant juice. It's my arsehole. Yeah, I don't think I'd be... Is it Gucci Bloom? Yeah, Coochie Bloom. Gucci Bloom? No, it's Coochie Bloom. Coochie Bloom, yeah. Gucci Bloom is actually a perfume and I didn't even think about the.

That's so good. Yeah. We should, oh, let's Photoshop the bottle of the Gucci Bloom. I've literally got a screenshot of it because I want to buy it. Well, you can't now, obviously, because you'll just think of Coochie Bloom. But, I mean, we'll Photoshop the bottle of the Gucci Bloom. I've literally got a screenshot of it because I want to buy it. Well, you can't now, obviously, because you just think of Gucci Bloom. But, I mean, we'll Photoshop the word on. Schmanabelle, one of our favourites. Oh, Schmanabelle.

Now this, because we were saying, like, you know, wouldn't it turn you on if what Schmanabelle's about to say has got me revved up. Oh. I'm fucking. You're into Schmanabelle. And I've met Schmanabelle. We've met Schmanabelle.abel. We've met Schmanabel.

Sorry. We've met Schmanabel. We've been out to Karen's diner with her and a bunch of taffas. She was there and we're obviously good friends with her. And what she said now is like, this would do me. Because, okay, yeah, say it. Not my personal juices like the Vabbers, but some nights when I would go out on the town and couldn't find perfume,

I had to find an alternative and I've got one that works every time. Yeah. I've got a bottle of Fireball at home so I just dab a little bit of that on my wrist and neck instead. That cinnamon whiskey? Yeah. So it would just smell exactly like Old Spice. And my family's got a thing with Fireball.

Have we told you about this? Yeah, that you always do a shot of Fireball at Christmas and stuff. Like Grandma's drinking it out of the bottle. That's so fun. It's so random. And I just, like, love the smell of it. And if someone walked past and I got a whiff of Fireball, I'll just be like, I don't know what fucking is happening here,

but cinnamon me up, dog, because I am fucking dead. Torbs wears Old Spice. So I'm fucking on the same page as you. Torbs is such an Old Spice guy. He is. This explains so much about him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's such an Old Spice guy.

And so when you look at Torbs, you're like, I don't know what scent he'd wear. And then you go, it's Old Spice. And then you go, of course. Of course it is. What else was there? Yeah. I've known Torbs for, you know, a few years now

and I can't believe I've never put two and two together. He's such an Old Spice guy. He's an Old Spice guy. Do you? And, like, ironically, he's just like, yeah, that's what I used. So I went through an Old Spice phase. Yeah. And Bridge didn't like it.

Not everybody can pull it off. Could I? I don't think so. I don't think so. Why not? What is it about me that ain't Old Spice for you? Be honest. I actually don't think so. I don't think so. Why not? What is it about me that ain't Old Spice for you? Be honest. I actually don't.

I just don't think you've got that thing. Torbs doesn't give a fuck. And do you think Old Spice has got that old man mask I don't give a fuck attitude about? I think it's because you're either wearing it because you don't give a fuck or you're wearing it because you want people to think you don't give a fuck. I mean, they're two completely opposite things though, aren't they? I know.

And which one's he? He doesn't give a fuck. Maybe that should be the ad for Old Spice. Give a fuck. It's like Old Spice, buy it or fucking don't, whatever. I'm sorry. Sorry, I didn't mean to swear, everyone. I didn't mean to swear.

Speaking of babbing. Maybe that's what Schmanabel meant. Oh, hello, Old Spice. Yeah, no, you can have the idea. Fuck, what a crazy show. My friend works. We've got to stop. We've got more.

Oh, no, Wheezy's out. By the way, this week we're watching Toy Story 2 with Wheezy and Bridget, my wife, went, oh, that's the girl. Oh, that's the toy that sounds like Tony. Yes. Oh, thanks, Bridget. Yeah, because she didn't know all these Wheezy jokes that we've had in the last 50,000 episodes.

And then she's like, oh, I get it now. And I was like, catch up, man. On Friday, we talked about the concept of what is your yeah, bitch. Yes. What is that thing that you do that when you need a spark of confidence, just, you know, if it's a jacket, if it's a perfume, obviously vabbing is not for anyone. So if that's not for you, what is for you?

Yeah, what's that thing that makes you walk fucking tall, you feel hot, yeah. And I loved reading people's yeah bitch thing. It made my yeah bitch is reading other people tell me about their yeah bitch. Right? Yeah. And when you just said then it makes you walk tall,

I just thought of something that I think was my yeah bitch. Oh, what is it? And it was more, this might sound strange, but when I played volleyball, I don't know if I mentioned that. Strapping your wrists. Not strapping your wrists. That gave you your yeah bitch. So every time I was strapping your wrists. That gave you, yeah, bitch. So every time I was strapping my wrists,

oh, fuck it, you can't count around me. So I played in a team once where I was the shortest and the second shortest was 6'5". Which is so hard to believe that you were the shortest because you're like a tall dude. Well, I'm taller than like the average man, but in volleyball, tiny. But to me, because I'm, the picture of us at Spotify,

the launch picture that we put, I never realised how small I am compared to you until looking at that photo of us. Yeah, you're what, 5'4"? 5'0". 5'0", I'm 6'4". So volleyball, 6'6", 6'7", 6'8". Yeah.

And I don't know, when we like walked into a club or a place and I was surrounded by these like giants. Yeah. For some reason you do. Because you want to. Well, you stand up taller and you just feel like you're just like invincible because I was always like, even though we're all the same age, it was as if I was like the little brother because I was just so little

compared to everyone else. So are you saying that your yeah bitch is hiring a security detail? Yes, that is what I'm saying. Okay, all right. Why does that happen? Because when you say you walk in taller, you just feel big and tall. Yeah, you do. Even surrounded by the big.

Okay, we're hiring some security detail. Okay, yeah, that's good. The big woot. My yeah bitch thing is this T-shirt that I own. It's plain black, but at the bottom it's got a red-black plaid kind of pattern along the bottom. And if I had this plaid shirt tied around my waist, in brackets, very grunge.

Yes. It's gotten me so much dick over the years. Good for you. So when the big woot puts it on, he's just like, oh, fucking look out, gents. Oh, yeah, I'm in the mood tonight, so I'll wear that shirt. Love that big woot. Rachel Elizabeth.

I don't know if you saw this picture in the episode thread. My yes bitch is this banging red lipstick. Oh, a red lip is good. And like a strong, not like a subtle red, just like a I'm fucking on tonight. I'm all about that. The saddest thing about COVID in my opinion is that wearing masks has meant the death of lipstick for me because if you're going out, you either catch the tram or you get an Uber and you have to wear a mask.

So you can't wear a lipstick underneath the mask because you just end up looking like you've pashed someone. Yeah, it just rubs it all over your face. Well, you had a big night. Benjamin Twig, my yeah bitch is. Oh, Twigo. Twigo. Big tree.

The big tree. Um, he said just after getting a good haircut and a beard trim. Yeah. He's like, I'm three inches tall. I feel fresh, feel amazing, straight out. That's, you do that too whenever you've had a haircut. You're like, yeah, I'm fresh. I'm fresh, feeling good.

Yep. Uh, Brittany Marie, and I saw you replied to this, when I get a fake tan. Yeah. She's three foot taller. She goes from a nine to a twelve out of ten and she's like, fake tan, fucking what up? But did you see that Britney said, like, I just want

to do it for, like, maybe I should just do it for no occasion. I said, life's the occasion, Britney. Fucking do it. If something makes you feel good, fucking do it. Don't wait until a Friday night out with the girls. Just fucking do it. Just tan up, bitch. Life's an occasion. Yep, life's the occasion.

Put that on a fucking T-shirt. Yep. Don't save good clothes for next week because you might be going out for dinner. Wear the fucking fancy clothes. That's what I say. Well, Katie Higginbotham, and I know you've seen the comments because we've commented on the checkered pants.

Oh, those pants. Fucking yes, bitch. Right into my mouth. Sorry. Every time, sorry, Katie, right into my mouth. Sorry. Every time, sorry, Katie, every time I put them on for work, I just feel like such a corporate dominating bitch. Yeah. And I feel like I'm ten times better at my job when I have these pants on.

Yeah, I fucking feel that. And I read the comment and I was like, yeah, I can understand how it's put, but then I've seen the pants. I trust her with my children. Yeah. If I was like, could you do my accounts and she said yes, I'd be like, of course you can Of course you can, very competent

There's nothing you can't do I love the yeah bitch, please keep sharing them I like the yeah bitches as well I didn't think that I'd feel so empowered by other people's yeah bitch but I did Our yeah bitch is reading other people's yeah bitches, I like that What's your you love to see today? I received this message from Rebecca

on Instagram, and she said, I hate Facebook, so I can't join the group, but I wanted to say I love you and Ryan and the podcast so much. And she sent a photo that she'd gotten a tattoo of our podcast. Really? Show it. On her knuckles. Do you see that?

What is it? It's Morse code for meow. Or mouse code. That is awesome. Yes. So I saw that and I was like, Rebecca, what the fuck? Does that say meow? Because I got onto

Google Translate. I was like, what does this say? Can you translate Morse code on Google? I mean, of course you can, but I just never. Wait, where are your checkered pants? Come on. You're better than that. I said, does that say meow? And Rebecca said, it sure does, in Morse code.

I asked if she wouldn't mind us sharing on the pod. She said, oh, my God, I'd be so happy I might even cry. I'll send you a pic to share in the group. I'll pop it on the episode thread for today. Thank you so much for everything you do. You've really helped me through some tough times. You guys give me a lot of happiness. So she got meow tattooed on her knuckles.

You'll like to see that. I will share the photo because it's so cute. But it's also a bit understated. Like if you saw that, you wouldn't really think anything of it unless you spoke fluent Morse code, which is that a dead language? I don't really know. Maybe if a pilot could reach out and let us know. I thought it was Morse code when you're camping

and you do the... Oh, no, Morse code's like the... Yeah. So what's the thing with the smoke signals? That's smoke signals. But do you do Morse code with the smoke? I guess so, like a longer smoke is... In the short, yeah.

Yeah. Well, I guess it would all be relative. Today, gender pay gap, Morse code, politics. Basically, we're moving from comedy to education. My love to see it. You know, we've talked about Kate Bush and her song Running Up That Hill. Oh, yes. Three decades after she released it,

the new generation is all about it because of Stranger Things, and it's a banging song. So this pub choir in Brisbane, you know what a pub choir is? Yeah. Yeah, so if you don't know what it is, lots of people will get together in a pub and it's like a big old sing-along, like a fun thing to do during the week.

You go with your friends, you have a few drinks. Have a few bebs. Meet some other people. It's a great... Just like a social thing. If you don't play mixed netball because you don't like being active, go to a pub trivia...

But you want to get out there. Yeah. Or you do a pub trivia. Join a pub choir. Yeah. You just turn up, you sing a song for the night and it's awesome. So they did Kate Bush running up that hill.

Nice. And someone sent a message. It goes, oh, hey, Kate. I don turn up, you sing a song for the night and it's awesome. So they did Kate Bush running up that hill. And someone sent a message. It goes, oh, hey, Kate, I don't know if you care or not, but our pub's doing your song this week. Just thought you'd like to know. Thanks so much. It's a beautiful song. Yeah.

Kate Bush has replied to the Brisbane pub choir. Have you seen this? I've been so busy I haven't got a chance to watch the video, but I have now. It's utterly, utterly wonderful. I love it so much. Thank you to everyone at the Brisbane Pub Choir. You sing it really beautifully. I'm

incredibly touched by your warmth and smiling faces. Thank you so much, Kate Bush. Aww. I've got fucking goosebumps. That's so lovely. Yeah. And imagine how chuffed they are. Oh my god. If I reached out to somebody that I really admired and was like,

oh, we're doing this thing about you, and they replied, oh, my God, I'd cry. I know, right? Kate Bush, what a legend. That's so cool. The placebo version's also very good. Sorry. No, that's a good recommendation.

Yeah. I mean, but how about that Brisbane pub choir? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, and Kate Bush as well. Like, amazing. What, placebo? The placebo version's really good of that song. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Kate Bush as well. Like, amazing. But Placebo. The Placebo version's really good of that song. Okay.

But Kate Bush, though, she knocked bloody Harry Styles off the Billboard 100. Cop that, Harry Styles. Fucking see ya. See you later, mate. Good job, Kate Bush. Today has been off the rock. Let's get it together for tomorrow. For tomorrow.

Tomorrow. Yeah. Okay. All right. Love you. Bye. We've got to go.
