Hello? Oh, would you look who decided to answer the phone. I was driving. I'm sorry. Tony's very unimpressed. What's going on, Tony? No, no, no, no. That's okay.

That's all right. Hi, Jaden. It's safety first. Jaden's trying to be safe. Yeah, no, that's fair. And protect people on the roads. That's okay. Well, look, I answered in the end, so it's all good.

It's all good. It's all good. You're right. Yeah, okay. Okay, righto. Do you approve this Well, look, I answered in the end, so it's all good. It's all good. You're right. Okay. Righto. Do you approve this podcast? Absolutely, I approve this podcast. Yay!

Here we go. Hey, it's Jaden from Shepparton in Australia, and I absolutely 100% and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan, the vice captain of the ship. Our queen, Tony, is here. Queen. And we all agree that an important moment in a relationship is like meeting the family, meeting the parents.

It's like a big deal, right? Yes. Earlier today, Tony met my mum in the flesh for the first time. She's a lot smaller than I was expecting because you're so tall. Wonder where you got your heart from? Must be on my dad's side. Must be. Now, would you say you made a good first impression?

Oh, my God. No. This is so embarrassing. It was really embarrassing. So we went to Ryan's mum. So she lives out in Eltham, which is like out in the suburb, like the outer suburbs, like the bushy kind of part of Melbourne. So we were in the car.

We, like, drove all the way out there. We had to pick up a super secret delivery. It rhymes with schmank schmeen. Schmorter schmortel. Yes. Anyway, we went out there and Ryan's mum, we didn't know if she was there, so he was like, just park here. So I parked in front of her garage door and then she pulled in.

And I was like, oh, Mandy, I'll hop out of the way and then park back here. And as I pulled out, so I've never met Ryan's mum before. As I pull out, I like reverse out of the way and I backed into a tree. And not just into a tree, into the garden. Into the garden. And then into the tree. Like a garden bed and like a really hard tree that had just been lopped. No, sorry, I'm just getting out of your way, Mandy. And mum's like, it's fine. I'll just go around. Yeah, but I was like,

no, no, no, no, no, like, hate to be a bother. So I pulled out of the way. Hate to be a bother, let me drive into a tree in your front yard. Let me drive through your fucking neighbour's living room. And so I pulled out. Not far off, that's not a joke. It actually, yeah, it's a gated community. Anyway, so

I pulled out of the way and then had to pull back in and I fucked that up as well. And your mum was like, oh my god, has it scratched your car? And I was like, no Mandy, it's fine. And I've got like a dent in the side of my car from like ages ago that I just never got fixed because I fucking hate admin. It looked like you just did that. And your mum was like,

oh my god, did that just happen? I was like, no, I've crashed my car more than once. It was one of the great first impressions. She's not going to let us get married. Did she call you afterwards? She's like, don't know about that girl for you, Ryan. No, you brought a few girls home and that is not my favourite. She's not my favourite.

No, no. Yeah, so it was not great. But how was it seeing the childhood home? It was actually lovely. Yeah. I walked into your old teenage bedroom. Mum's converted into an office reset. Going to have to do a pregnancy test.

What? Probably a bit of spoof in there, don't you reckon? Well. She didn't paint the walls white, if you know what I'm saying. How dare you? Teenage boys do other things in their room. Do they? I couldn't name one, but I'm sure there are activities.

Nothing's coming to mind. Are we into gaming? No. Are we into gaming? No. Are we into music? No. What was he doing in there the whole time? No, he can't read. That's not what he was doing at all.

He just looked at the pictures in the magazines. Hey, has anyone else noticed at the moment the 6 o'clock news every night, every news website, every second story is the economy, inflation, do you feel like every time? It's everywhere. It's 6 o'clock news every night, every news website, every second story is the economy, inflation, cost of living. Do you feel like every time? It's everywhere. It's everywhere. And they're just telling us how expensive things are and telling me how much money I don't have.

Yeah, I know, right? I can check my fucking bank balance for that information, okay? I have an app for this very thing. Now, normally I would go, oh, as a bit of an economics nerd, I kind of go, oh, this is our time to shine because for the last 10 years, who cares about economics? Yeah, it's going all right. Who cares?

But now it's like monetary policy and all this juicy stuff. I like it because just the other day you and I were talking about those economists in New York. Remember how they made this decision 18 years ago and how the current mayor is like, yeah, about abortion. And the current mayor is like, oh, that's because of what I'm doing. It's like, oh, these economists looked at 18 years ago and how the current mayor is like, yeah, about abortion. And the current mayor is like, oh, that's because of what I'm doing. It's like, oh, these economists looked at 18 years ago the trends of them legalising abortion and then the impacts that it has

on like today's economy. So interesting. I love that you're interested. I didn't think you gave a shit about Tom's dad story. See, I listened. And earlier this week we actually did get a bit too educational. So I'm going to pull Dala back. All right.

I feel like you're seeing behind my fun, giggly persona. I'm actually a genius. Well, as someone who didn't know. No, I drove into a tree today. As someone who drove into a tree today, as someone who didn't know what the lid of a toilet was for, as someone who didn't know how to use soap, I wouldn't get too much on your soapbox, on your high horse.

Okay. But I have an article here. And like I said, every second article is essentially a different version of this same article at the moment. Yes, yeah. Freaking out about interest rate rises? Here's five things you can do today. Oh, great.

Fantastic. Oh, what are the five things? Lay it on me. All right, this is how the article starts. After going away for a week to a solo solar-powered retreat away from my family and children in the woods, I returned home to find out that Philip Lowe from the Reserve Bank of Australia ruined my zen holiday buzz

by forcing me to pay more for my home. And already I'm off. I'm off. I'm not sure what to think. Isn't that very reminiscent of like, I'm 20 and I bought my first home. Here's how you can do it. And it's like, just get your parents to give you $50,000. Yeah.

First of all, my mum bought it. Second step, move in. If I can do it, you can too. And I got this lovely cane wicker chair off Marketplace that I upcycled. If I can do it, you can too. And I got this lovely cane wicker chair off Marketplace that I upcycled. Now this is like a fancy newspaper that's like, I imagine there is some highbrow readers. But when I read.

So this isn't like the Daily Mail or something. This is legit. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's legit. And when it says, I left my kids and family to go on a solar-powered retreat, I'm already, rightly or wrongly, making some assumptions about the kind of life this person's leading.

You do decide in your head how much that retreat might have cost. And also, I mean, when the economy's bad, it sucks, I get it, but, like, the economy hasn't done it to you, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Like, that's all of us. And also, it's because of horrible shit going on. The whole point of daily massages and daily meditation

was to come back feeling less stressed, but to find out the interest rates have gone up, it just ruined my whole trip. Oh. Well, I mean, I can see where she's coming from. I wouldn't have written her down, though. Oh, mate, just there's a few things I would have left out besides the whole thing, but we'll get there.

I must disclose my household finances are pretty sound. Righto. Sounds like it. I have heaps in my savings. Thanks for letting us know. Yeah, thanks. And my mortgage rate is actually fixed at 1.84%. So?

So it doesn't affect you at all. It doesn't affect you at all. All right. Tip one. Okay. Yeah. Here are the tips. The tips haven't even started yet.

Five tips. Here's the first one. Remind yourself that there's always someone more poor than you. What a horrible thing to say. I was like, have I read that? That feels like an awful thing to say. But also, like, if I go,? That feels like an awful thing to say. But also, like, if I go, oh my god, I

say someone's homeless, right, and they're doing it really, really tough. They've got kids to feed or whatever. Oh, well, you know what's going to put extra money in the bank, extra food in our tummies? Someone's doing it worse. That actually helps nothing. It doesn't help at all. It's not a tip. It's like, it's

true. But also, someone else doing it tough doesn't mean that you're not also doing it tough. It's not a tip. It's like it's true. But also someone else doing it tough doesn't mean that you're not also doing it tough. That's not a tip. It's just, yeah, I don't fucking understand that. It's not a money tip. What a horrible thing to say. Tip two. Oh.

She's still going in. She's backing the tips in. She's backing it in. If you don't use the gym that much, stop paying for it. I mean, that's great advice. That actually is good advice. That is good advice. As someone who at one stage had

three gym memberships in different states, that is a good tip. Hang on, are you telling me you moved from Perth to Sydney, then from Sydney to Melbourne and still had your old Perth and Sydney gym membership? So when I moved to Sydney, I had two in WA. I'm so rich. Apparently. Well, you're about to learn who's

more rich than you. I could save $400 a month if I cancelled my gym membership. $400? What is she doing? $400 a month? Where's her gym? On her private island in Fiji? Is she doing cocaine at the gym? Is that what it is?

Well, apparently it's great for weight loss. Lines and grind. Are you serious? $400 a month? Is that what it is? Apparently it's great for weight loss. Lines and grind. Are you serious? $400 a month? I mean, I've heard of pre-workout, but that. Holy cannoli. $400 a month.

Wow. No judgment. Maybe that's what the gym, I obviously don't know. Maybe that's just what the gym costs. Inflation, bro. That's just what it costs. Maybe I don't know. Tip three. Cut back on eating out and takeaway food. I mean, bro. That's just what it costs. Maybe I don't know. Tip three, cut back on eating out and takeaway food.

I mean, hey. Another classic one. I'll put my hand up. Totally, yeah. When, I mean, I'm in that area. I spend $150 a month at restaurants and I spend $20 a month on alcohol. So maybe I can cut back. Hang on.

$150 a month. At restaurants, which in Sydney would be one dinner. For one person. And $20 a month on alcohol. In a fancy pub in Sydney, like a pint is $21, like $18.50 or something. So is she just having one beer a month? I would understand if it was zero and she was a non-drinker. I would understand if it was zero and she was a non-drinker. I would understand if it was 100 and she had a few beers,

a few wines a week each week over the month might equal 100 bucks. Yeah. But 20 bucks, that's not even a bottle. I mean, it is, but maybe. I actually, no, but like I'm not a big drinker, so I don't spend money on alcohol. But if I was going out for dinner, I'd probably have a couple of drinks. Yeah.

But like I don't buy alcohol for home. But if I was going out for dinner, I'd probably have a couple of drinks. But, like, I don't buy alcohol for home. But it seems like she's saying that's separate. But $120 a month on restaurants. But just $20 on alcohol. But if we. That's one cocktail. Yeah. But also, I'm stuck on the restaurants.

If we order dinner from Uber Eats, it's $60. Yeah. Uber Eats is expensive. Like, it is. There's, like, a markup and then the delivery and all of that and it's always shit and then you fucking spend the money and then you comply and then you fucking spend the money. Yeah. But, like, that just doesn't add up.

No, it really doesn't. And also, I could just, I'll just send her the $120. Yeah. It's not going to matter. How is she spending? Okay, this is where, obviously obviously my BMI is going wrong. I'm spending $400 on the food and no money on the gym. And she's spending $400 at the gym and only $120 on the food.

To be fair, she's got. I've cracked the code. She's got her ratio done right. We're not, we are incorrect. Maybe the confusion is on my part. You know, our mistake. Who's laughing now? This is my bad. We're not doing it. I'm correct. Maybe the confusion is on my part. You know, our mistake. Who's laughing now? This is my bad.

This is not on her. And tip four, and to be honest, it should have been tip one or maybe too obvious to put on. Tip four, get a job that pays more. Oh, thanks for the fucking great advice. Is that an option? Oh, fuck. Sorry, if I wanted more money, I should have just earned more.

That's great advice. You're going to hate this next bit. You went to a few different schools, yeah? Two, yeah. Private, public? I went to two publics and one private. Okay, right. This might rub you up the wrong way still.

This really does mean. Okay. Tip four, get a job that pays you more. Someone suggested putting my children in a public school could save me the $20,000 per child per year I pay, but I'd personally rather just get a higher paying job than put my kids through that. That is fucking disgusting.

Well, excuse me. Also, that is a higher end of the scale of a private school. I'm guessing your private wasn't. No, no, no. I think mine was like $2,000 a year. Yeah. Like it was not that much. So my school, Eltham High, it was $109 optional.

Yeah. You don't have to pay fees. Like a contribution. Yeah. And so I remember going there to study. I'm like, yep, sign here, sign in. Yeah, here's your books and blah, blah, blah. So it's $109.

And I was like, oh, okay. Mom, it's $109. And they go, yeah, it's optional. I was like, yep, sign here, sign in, yeah, here's your books and blah, blah, blah. So it's $109. And I was like, oh, okay, mum, it's $109. And they go, yeah, it's optional. I was like, oh, yeah. Thanks, see you later. Have a good one. Have a great day. Well, you've got to pocket that, take it to the pub. Yeah, see you later, bud.

Have a good one. But also to think, like, there's nothing wrong with a public school. Public schools often have just as high, like, median ATAR rates as a private school. Public schools often have just as high median ATAR rates as a private school. As a product of public schools, as my whole family's teachers, when I read that I was like, not that I already wasn't a bit fucking what's going on here, that really fucking

did mean. And the fact that instead of putting them in a yuck private school, I'll just get a better job. That's not an option for many people. It does not compute. And also, I think that if a higher paying job is available to someone, they've already done it. Got it. Or they're trying to get it.

Who's not choosing that? That's not advice. That's just actually not advice. Wow. Imagine if I was like, oh, Ryan, I don't feel well today. I'm really tired. You're like, go to sleep. That's not advice.

Well, if you think that's not advice, you're going to love tip five. There's another tip. And I'm going to put this out there right at the top. Give her a fucking circumcision. Take the tips away. Jesus Christ. That is the funniest thing you've ever said. Thank you.

Take the tips away. Fucking hell. Yeah, give me number five. I'm not sure that's how it works, but, I mean, I like it. Take the tips away. Fucking hell. Yeah, give me number five. I'm not sure that's how it works, but, I mean, I like how... Take the tips away. Now, what I'm suggesting... I've never heard that joke. That sounds like something I've, like, regurgitated.

I've never heard that before. It rolled off the tongue quite nicely. It did. Yeah, thanks. A lot of the tips normally do for me. I reckon she's written the headline five tips before she's known how many tips she's got and then she's got to the end and gone, fuck, how can I just add an extra one?

Tip five. Oh, fucking hell, yep. Keep an eye on expenses and don't spend as much. I don't say this a lot, but this article has made me dumber. Thank you. Thank you. And thank you also, earlier today I was like, hey, Tony, I've got a finance article for today's F, and you were like,

are you sure? And I was like, trust me, mate, you're going to have a field day. So thank you for validating finance chat. Oh, yeah. It's not coming back next week. Hey, it's Jayden from Shepparton in Australia. I'm listening to Tony and Ryan. Get amongst it, guys.

A massive thank you to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon. Thank you so much to Jade Houlihan, Alyssa Likeness, Aaron Moore, Tegan Wright-Dowson, Stephanie Thomas, JZRG, Jess Lynch, Laura L,

Caleb Ketring, Captain Christopher Pike and Christian Batten. Thank you so much for being part of our Patreon. This is a weird question. Was there more season Ks than usual? Oh, was there? No, I don't know. Christian Kent Coward. Captain Christopher Pike.

Oh, Caleb Ketring, Captain Christopher Pike. Yeah. Sorry, I did. And then Christian Batten. Yeah, sorry, did I? I was like, what's going on? Fuck, they've got their money's worth there. I've just said their name fucking 16 times.

Yeah. Oh, we'll put an invoice through. Caleb Ketring, Captain Christopher Pike, Christian Batten. They'll be happy with that. Tip six, charge more for an extra shout out. The movie, if you want to watch a movie this weekend. Oh, yes. We're choosing between our favourite stop motion movies.

Now, it's fair to say that, Tony, we got confused about what's claymation. Where does claymation become stop motion, become animation? I didn't know what stop motion was. So I basically just said all of those words and here's the list of movies to choose from. Yeah, we Googled it, so it's legit. Chicken Run, Wallace and Gromit, Curse of the Weir Rabbit. Weir Rabbit.

What did I say? Weir. Weir Rabbit. It's like werewolf, but it's Weir Rabbit. Oh. Yeah. It's like a werewolf. It's like a were, but it's were-rabbit. Oh. Yeah. It is like a were... It's like a werewolf, so it, like, gets big at night.

Oh, spoilers! Oh, you want to say something else? Get a picture. Oh, fucking yeah, I do. Lego movie. Oh, fuck, that's huge! Nightmare Before Christmas and Isle of Dog. Now, the Chicken Run is looking like it's going to be the winner.

Yeah. So Tony will probably be rapping about Chicken Run next week if you want to have a look. I really like the movie Chicken Run. I've never seen it. It's really good. It's very sweet. We've been warned by people in Patreon who are commenting, though,

that it might be a sad one, like a beautiful movie, but it may be a sad ending or a sad moment or something. Oh, I mean, there are sad bits in it, but it's a feel good. It's like a sweet movie. Okay, great. Yeah, it's really good. Well, I'll watch it this weekend. Yes. Well, only if it gets. It's like a sweet movie. Okay, great. Yeah, it's really good. Well, I'll watch it this weekend. Yes.

Well, only if it gets. Only if it gets. Yeah. But before we get to movies, I've actually got a bit of a warning about TV. I mean, our favourite pastime. I know. So I have a warning for people who like to binge watch TV. I mean, which is everyone.

I know. So fuck and listen up. Consider me warned. Let me get my pen and paper out. Another tip. I mean, fucking you're learning so much today. So at the moment, Torbs and I

we've always got like a TV show on the go. And if there's not something new out that we like the look of, we will re-watch something. Go back to a classic. Yeah, so we've watched the Office US 16 fucking times. We've watched How I Met Your Mother a Million Times, like all of those kinds of shows. And we were really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

And we've just started watching Wentworth. Oh. Yeah, so for anybody that doesn't, it's like an Australian, it's like the Australian version of Orange is the New Black. Yeah, it is, isn't it? Yeah, so it's based on like an Australian women's maximum security prison. It's a fiction show. Yeah.

But it basically follows the lives of these female inmates and like becoming top dog and killing other inmates and like drug trafficking in the prison and, you know, like corrupt police and stuff. It's really good. But it is a real town and a real prison. Yeah. I think there are some kind of like it's not a full true story,

but I think it was based on a few things. So I think there are some kind of like, it's not a full true story, but I think it was based on a few things. So there's kind of a few truths in it maybe. But anyway, it's like a really, really good show. I think it started in 2013 and there's nine seasons. Delicious. Is there anything better than hitting the fucking jackpot with a show that you like and you're like, fuck, we can just keep rolling this out.

I'll get a good, how long, nine seasons for you guys? That'll get you through five, six weeks or maybe a long weekend? Probably less than that, yeah. I know that, yeah. Because, and this is the problem, right? This is where the warning comes in. We burn through and because when we really like something, both of us really like don't have that, what's that thing called?

Self-control. Yep. Delayed gratification. Like we're like, I want to watch it now. I want to know what happens. I'm fucking in love with this show. We need to know what's going on. Is it one of those shows where at the end of every episode

they just drop a little. Fucking cliffhanger. Yeah. And you're like, oh, we've got to fucking watch this. We've got to watch this one. Even if we're not it, you know. And you know what? You are a TV producer's dream because they'll be like,

how do we hook Tony through to squeeze another episode out of it? I'll just leave her a little bit of this and she'll come running in. She'll sprinkle right through. Yeah. And that's what I do. Yeah. So the other night, Torbs and I are watching this show and we are two episodes from the end of like the second season

or something. And I'm like, oh, mate, let's watch one more. So we're like, okay, there's two more left in the season it's getting fucking really tense and really good yeah i'm like look let's watch one more you know what's gonna happen what's one more i tell you what one more is it's two more yeah so i'm like let's watch one more then i'll a shower, then I'll go to bed. We watch one more and then I'm like, oh, fuck! We can't not watch the last one. So I'm like, look, it's fine. I'll have a shower in an hour when the show's finished. We watch the finale.

We check the clock and it's fucking 1am. Tony! And I was like, oh, my God. And you're not one of those late night hours. I'm not. I'm normally in bed by, like, 10. I've got my routine. I do my shower one of those late night out. I'm not. I'm normally in bed by like 10. I've got my routine. I do my shower, do my skincare, and I hop into bed and, like, that's me.

1 a.m. 1 a.m., which is so late for me. It is. Anyway, so I was like, you know what? I'm so fucking tired. I'm just going to get up and have a shower in the morning. Yep. I'd already committed to myself that I was going to wake up

and do a workout. Yeah, righto. And I'm like, fuck, it's 1 a.m. There's no way that I to wake up and do a workout. Yeah, righto. And I'm like, fuck, it's 1am. There's no way that I can get up and do a workout first. And shower and everything else. And I was going to be meeting you at 9. It's all starting to make a bit of sense now. So I was like, you know what?

I'm still going to wake up to work out. I've done this to myself. All good. So I left my alarm on for like 7 o'clock or 6.30 or whatever. I got up and I was like, I've got to have a shower anyway. Might as well make it worth it. Do you know what I'm like trying to like. Pull yourself on.

Find a way. Exactly. Justify it to your person. So I wake up, I get all sweaty and I'm like, fuck yeah, like got to have a shower anyway. All good. The hot water in the building stopped working. Your building always has stuff wrong with it.

Oh, my God, I know. So you're hot and sweaty. It's been freezing cold in the morning in Melbourne this week. Literally, this week. And you don't have an icy shower? You know how we had like the coldest July day on record? Yeah. It was that morning.

Also, the coldest day ever in Melbourne was the hottest day ever in London. What is happening to the world? Isn't that wild? Oh, my God. Climate change is real. Do you know what I mean? So what do you do? I mean, you can't just.

I braved it. I respect that. So I like fucking, I was like. Like quickly like rubbed the soap all over myself and I'm like loofering myself up and then I hopped out of the water, loofered myself up, put my skin, like my face wash myself up and then I hopped out of the water, loofered myself up, put my skin, like my face wash on and then I was like, jump back into the cold water.

It is so fucking, like it was ice water, like straight from the, it was fucking like Antarctica. Like daggers going through you. Oh, my God, it was horrible. So already I've had no fucking sleep. I woke up and like angried through a workout. Then I've had to have a cold fucking shower and then I'm like, all right, I'm going no fucking sleep. I woke up and like angried through a workout. Then I've had to have a cold fucking shower. And then I'm like, all right, I'm going to Ryan's.

Like I'm perking myself up, all good. My scooter isn't working at the moment. So normally you and I, we've got electric scooters that we use. Scootfluencers, hashtag scootfluencers. Thank you. My scooter isn't working at the moment. I have to take it to the shop and get it repaired. So I was like, I'll find one of the new on like the rentable

fucking electric scooters. I walked 15 minutes out of my way because that was the closest scooter. Also, we live about 15 minutes from each other. I should have just fucking walked to your house. And I walked to the scooter and I was like, great. It was the slowest scooter ever. And I'm like running late. I'm getting stressed.

I've had half a shower. So I'm like not really. It was the slowest scooter ever and I'm like running late. I'm getting stressed. I've had half a shower so I'm like not really feeling that good about myself. Anyway, I finally get the scooter. It's like low on battery and it wasn't going very fast. So what I did was I was like riding along on the scooter and actually like scooting it with my leg. I had all of it. It was like peak hour because I'm supposed to come to your house at night. It's like 9.10 by this leg. I had all of, it was like peak hour because I'm supposed

to come to your house at night. It's like 9.10 by this point. I'm running late. I'm getting flapped. Is it fair to say you don't like running late? I do not like running late. Anybody that knows me knows that I hate that. Do you think, are you thinking Ryan's going to be mad at me?

No, it's more just like a personal thing that I'm like, I don't like it when people are late to me. So this is just frustrating. I knew you wouldn't care. Well, not caring is not quite accurate because I don't care in a negative way, but because I know you're always on time and I'm always a bit late and I'm always like, oh, don't worry about it, man, it's fine.

I actually love it when you're late because I'm like just so smug. I bet you do. So smug. And me and BJ standing out the front at nine past seven going. Yeah, and that's pretty much how it was. So anyway, it's like fucking peak hour in Richmond and I'm scooting an electric scooter and all these people are looking at me like,

doesn't she fucking know that they're electric? There's a button on it, mate. Literally, everybody was looking at me like a fucking idiot. Anyway, so I was was like you know what this scooter is fucked i'm just gonna keep scooting i'll scoot it the rest of the way and the route that i would walk to your house is different to the route i would scoot right because you know the way that i would walk goes on the big road yeah yeah but like the route that i would scoot goes like down the back way yep yeah and then so I get like down to the end of the road

and the scooter finally dies and I'm like, it doesn't fucking matter because I'm scooting it manually anyway and then the wheels lock up and I almost go fucking A over T fucking because the scooter stopped. Yeah. The ones when you don't own them, they're like, oh, disconnect. Literally it was like, oh, end trip, see ya. Yeah.

So it stopped fucking working. No, I fucking like wobbled a disconnect. Literally it was like, oh, end trip, see ya. Yeah. Did you just stack it? No, I fucking like wobbled a bit though. It was fucking terrifying. Anyway, so then I had to ditch that to the side of the road and walk the rest of the way to your house. I'm in an absolute flat because I'm fucking running late. But, I mean, I did get to watch the finale of the show. So swing some roundabouts. I feel like it's fine.

But, oh, me not having any self-control really backfired. It really does. And can I just add, I obviously saw the last 1% of that story. Yeah. And this is what I copped. I know what time it is. I'll tell you what happened on the podcast. Was it worth the wait for you?

It was. It really was. A, because, I mean, how good's Wentworth? Yes. B, like I said, when you're late, I'm just like, oh, this is so great. Oh, good. Well, I'm glad that you get something out of it. I was fucking trying to whip myself, like my soul.

I'm like, oh, I've been late again. What do you love to see? You said Wentworth. You love Wentworth. Yes. I'm loving a show and I'm putting it out there. This is a great recommendation. Yeah.

Hunted. What is it? I don't know what it is. Okay, so apparently it already exists in the US and the UK, but Hunted Australia has just started. I've seen people posting it on Instagram, but I don't know what the fuck it is. All right, actually, let me break it down to you real quick here.

So maybe imagine we're the contestants. Okay. There's two of us together. We're a team. We're a team. We should go on the Amazing Race. This is kind of sort of similar. Okay.

But yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually don't want to. Okay. I would not do a good job. No, no, no. I hate to run and I hate to be stressed. Yeah, and I mean, scootering, not your vibe. That whole show is running while stressed.

Yeah. Yeah, in fact, okay, you would not like this show. Let's not do The Amazing Race. Actually, you'd be really bad on this show as well. There's all these contestants and they're in pairs. Do you know what Shav would like to do? Gogglebox. I fucking love that show.

A little peek behind the Tony and Ryan curtain. We pitched for Gogglebox. We did. And not only did they not say no, they just didn't bother replying. They didn't call us back. And embarrassingly, it was Celebrity Gogglebox. Who do we think we are? I know.

Well, it got put forward on our behalf. Yeah. But then we found out that they got fucking Hamish and Zoe. So, I mean. Oh, no. Tony and Ryan were busy. Yeah. Yeah, they didn't call us back.

So there's all these teams of ten. They get dumped in feds. Teams of ten? No, sorry. There's ten teams of two. Oh, no. Tony and Ryan were busy. Yeah. Yeah, they didn't call us back. So there's all these teams of 10. They get dumped in Fed. Teams of 10? No, sorry. There's 10 teams of two. Oh, sorry. And they get dumped in Fed Square in Melbourne. And they have to go on the run for 21 days.

And then there's these hunters who are like professional detectives, former army people, like technical expertise, psychologists. And they all work together. And they need to find you and they need to hunt you down. That sounds horrifying. And if you last 21 days without getting captured, you get a share in $100,000. But if you get caught, you get nothing.

Only a share? Well, if only one team makes it to the end, they get the whole hundred. Like so the winners split it. Or there could be no winners because they all get caught. And these are professional detectives and like, in the first episode So is it like you have to make, like not use your credit card so that you don't get traced and shit? Well, that would

be great advice because some of the idiots didn't put two and two together. So you get 200 bucks on a card and 200 bucks cash and you need to give them everything else, your phone, whatever and you're just on the run. And the show is awesome. And I'm not a reality TV guy. I'm not a contest guy.

That sounds really good. Yeah, so you've changed your tune. That sounds horrifying though, but, yeah, that does sound really good. I think I'd be good at being the detective because I'm good at finding people on Facebook, et cetera. There's a lot of like, oh, they're from South Australia, but her uncle lives here, so they've probably gone to the uncle's place. And so they're like going through the, you know, Instagram,

doing all this, you know, investigating. The sleuthing. And they go to a cafe, like, 100 metres from your house because it's all around this area. Did they? Yeah. First episode. Hunted.

A hot recommendation from your hot recommender, Ryan. It might be good. It might not be good. Please just give it a genuine look and let me know. I'm curious to know what you think. Alright, let us know whether you prefer Wentworth or The Hunted. Now, Tony Lodge. Yeah? Gotta get serious again.

What? What would you do? You dropped in Fed Square. What would you do if you have to get away from these people? Drive a car? No, you just get dropped in Fed Square. Okay. Out of a van. Okay, well you're not going to take a taxi or No, you just get dropped in Fed Square out of a van. Okay, well, you're not going to take a taxi or something, right? Because you...

Some do. I'd probably jump on the train and get out like on the V line, go out really, really far. And then I'd change trains a couple of times, change outfits, maybe put on a fake moustache or something. And then I'd probably like find a little cave and live in that. That's a good idea. Wait, how do they eat?

Well, they've got a couple hundred bucks. $400 would not feed me for three weeks. What about the my key for the train? How much is that going to cost? Well, because you buy a card with cash, buy a ticket with cash. Every time you tap your my key, they'll know. No, that's why I said buy a ticket with cash. No, but then the my key, they'll know. No, that's why I said buy a ticket with cash. No, but then the ticket itself,

they'll know when it gets swiped. No, but you can buy a ticket that's not a my key. Oh, can you? Yeah, you just buy like a one stop, like a one day ticket or whatever. I would be good at this. Yeah, see, you've got no fucking idea. Yeah. Let's do it. We can get a share in $100,000. That sounds really good. My friend Jane works in TV. She can get us on. Okay, great.

Great. Okay, great. She wasn't available for Gogglebox. No. Yep. Neither were we, apparently. What do you like to see this week? Pepitas. What are pepitas? Like pumpkin seeds.

How fucking good are pepitas? They are my favourite. Oh, thank you. Honestly, a forgotten seed. They're like little green. They're little green, like teardrop shape. You fucking put them in the pan, a little bit of oil, chili flakes, fucking see you later.

Do you have it on? Fucking just have it like that. Or you could pop that in a little salad, maybe with some spinach, some feta, some roasted pumpkin. Pepitas and hunted. Have a great weekend, everyone. Fucking enjoy yourself. But beware of binging the TV.

No. Hunter will get you in. All right, we'll chat to you on Monday. Love you. Ping me out to us. Love you, bye.
