Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan, Vice Captain of the ship. Our Lord Saviour, Captain Muscles, Doctor Author, Tony Lodge is in the house. Hello. Fuck. Okay. Am I pumping you up too much? Yeah, you're just like gassing me right up. Is that literally not my job? I don't know. What is my job?

I don't know. I actually don't have time for an existential crisis. Existential? Existential crisis today. But let's instead call Luke, who's a truck driver. Oh. What are you hauling, mate? That's what I'll say.

Hello? Yeah, g'day, Luke, mate. How are you? Oh, g'day, mate. How are you fucking going? Yeah, mate, we're fucking going all right. Mate, what are you hauling? What are you up to, rubber ducky? I'm just about to jump in my truck, actually.

Or jump in the cab, mate, yeah. Is that a sleeper cab, mate? What are you running, bobtail around town? What are you doing? All local stuff, but, yes, I do have a cab with a bunk in it, yeah. Tony is so chuffed with herself. Pretty good. She's loving it.

She's loving it. She's loving it. I did pretty well. I would just like to say that I did pretty well. You did very well. Luke, before you do, jump in the big truck. Can you approve today's podcast? Bloody oath, I can. Oh, he was hauling a yes.

That's what he was hauling. G'day, it's Luke from New South Wales, and I approve this podcast. We're on a video show, mate, and everyone just saw that. Well, that was at Ryan. That's how Tony behaves. She just gave me the bird. You can have my bird. Do you know what's so good I'm very into at the moment?

Like chicken with like chilli. I made a marinade, like chilli, garlic, a little bit of ginger, a little bit of honey and some salt and whipped it up and then marinated chicken for a couple of hours and then did it in the pan. Very good. Pan or air fryer? I wouldn't do that in the air fryer. With a marinade, nah.

It'd be really sticky. It'd probably like slide off. Like when I get my back waxed. I don't know what you were going to say. I don't know. I didn't know where it was going. Sorry, I recently got a back wax and I feel I can barely sit on the chair. Yeah, you're smooth like a dolphin.

Yeah, you're smooth like a dolphin. There was an awkward time when I'm... So I don't get like a back sack and crack, just like the back and shoulders when I'm swimming. And then she kind of like gets to the bottom of my back and you kind of just got to decide where to stop. Oh, yeah, whether you do the welcome mat as well. my back and like you kind of just got to decide where to stop you know there's oh yeah whether you do the welcome mat as well oh no but like like from my neck you can go down to my ankle you know there's there's hair all over there and she's and so but it kind of gets that point where

you go where does the back become the butt oh yeah because you didn't order a butt yeah and so it's always just like awkward just like do you want like how so do you do the welcome mat as well well i feel like the welcome mat is like, I'm like, what's visible at the top of the budgie smuggler of my shorts? Can you show me? No, because I think the line's, like, slightly higher. So it's like if I was wearing my swimmers, it'd be like you could see the top of my Calvin Klein's,

except they're not Calvin Klein's, it's just a hairy butt. It's just a strip of hair instead of a band of underwear? Yeah. Right. But I think that. But where do you draw the line? You know what I'm saying? Well, I would probably wax like around the welcome mat

because that feels like a natural. What did he say? Welcome mat. So welcome mat is like the small of your back. Yeah. Take care of that, I think. No, I reckon leave that there because that feels natural. It does feel natural, yeah.

To like then go down into the butt hair. You know what I mean? Whereas like a line across your butt at some point, which is what you've done, which is fine. I mean, it doesn't matter. I don't know what happened last time. Maybe they did do that last time. Can I see?

Nah. Can I see? Nah. Maybe later. Okay. Oh. Lucky movie. There was one guy that got like a back and shoulder.

I mean, it was a very hairy guy. And you could see like the distinct line. That would be hard because, yeah, if you then. On his arm. Well, yeah, do you do all of it? Do you do none of it? Do you do some of it? But you've got to pick a spot where it then like peters out.

You know what I mean? That's why I think the welcome mat is like a good. I mean, when does chest become stomach become pubes become, you know what I mean? That's why I think the welcome mat is like a good. I mean, when does chest become stomach become pubes become, you know what I mean? And beard, like back out the top to the beard as well. Yeah, like when does that. Yeah, and who knows? Who knows?

Hey, coming up today, AI is taking over. Because I'm a white guy who hosts the podcast, I have to have a hot take on AI. I think that's the law in 2023. You actually might be a bit late. I feel like the. No, that's the part of it is you have to be late hot take on AI. I think that's the law in 2023. You actually might be a bit late. I feel like the- No, that's the part of it is you have to be late. Oh, okay.

And then do the obvious take that everyone else has had for the last three months. I see. That's how it works, being a white guy with a podcast. Yeah, okay. Shout out to Elon Musk because all white guys love him apparently. Do they? Nah, he's a fuckhead. Is he?

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he did promise to Adelaide all those batteries, didn't he? That was nice of him. It was, but when you say it like that, it seems like he was at the Adelaide show and someone had run out of batteries on their toy and he just, like, flipped them a couple of AAAs.

No, because they had all those brownouts and blackouts and stuff. Yeah, the whole state is powered by one big Elon Musk battery. Yeah, and because he was like, oh, if I can do it cheaper than you, I'll do it for, if I can't do it cheaper than you, I'll do it for free or something like that. Something, yeah. That was quite nice. That was nice.

But that was a few years ago. Maybe he's gotten a bit big for his. No, that's the thing, yeah. I think there's. There was a kind of like, it's like a sliding scale of like, nice, nice, nice, nice, fuckhead. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Please don't cancel us, Elon Musk. I think bye. He'll delete our Twitter account. Oh, heaven forbid. I'm a threads girl. Are you though? I actually haven't threaded in quite some time.

Have you been on threads in some time? No. No. It's probably over. Are people still threading? I actually couldn't tell you. Me either. I know you're a Twitter guy.

Sometimes. When I just watch a reality TV show like The Block, I just like to get. I know you're a Twitter guy. Sometimes. When I just watch a reality TV show like The Block, I just like to get on there and give them a rev up. You know, by accident, Torbs and I watched the finales of MasterChef. Oh, no, MKR. And you're just not bought into any of the characters? Oh, yeah, we didn't know any of them.

And I went, oh, well, they fucked that custard, haven't they? Like, it was just really nice. It's just like something fun to watch. So I got a bit aggressive on the block's Instagram account. Ryan. And added a few contestants and let them know what I thought because two of them were bullying. What the fuck?

No, no, I was bullying the bullies. Oh, okay. And anyway, someone commented on the block's Instagram, you should talk more about the block and less about border security on the podcast. And then there was suddenly a bunch of taffers in the replies and it was fucking going off. How dare you besmirch border security's good name, our favourite show.

Yeah, I know. I know. I didn't agree. I'm just reading what I read. First today. This sounds like a dumb statement and it is, but stick with me. Okay. I always do.

What is not true that feels a hundred percent correct oh you know like logically it's it's wrong it's wrong but like but it's sort of right though for example tony lodge you were in a bit of a brouhaha a few weeks ago when we're in sydney yeah because you kept getting like mineral water which tastes a bit like dirty, and you just wanted a crisp, clean water. I just wanted some fucking spring water. Because you're a water girl. I am. Thank you for saying that.

I am a water girl. You drink a lot of water. You're a connoisseur of water. I'm fussy on water. You enjoy a good water. Sorry, everything's going awry. I will wait. Sorry.

This is what happens when you're not hydrated. Yeah. The water in the office is empty at the moment and it's really fucking me off. It actually is. I don't think I'm going to pay rent this week. And do you think that the taps are a bit... The taps here are fucked. Yeah.

Like, I feel like I have to whisper because they're all out there, but genuinely fucked. Like, I wouldn't feed Pippa water out of that tap. So speaking of things that are not true but feels 100% correct, what is your stance on water in the household? So that bathroom water tastes like bathroom water and kitchen water tastes different. And you have actually gotten at me about this in the past.

You go, it's all the same water, but it isn't all the same water. This is I think the perfect example is like logically, in theory, hypothetically, of course it's the same water. Same. But. But it tastes different. I reckon it does really taste different. Even the other day here you filled the kettle up with water

from the tap in the sink in the bathroom. Yeah. And I almost threw up. I'm just watering the plants. I'm like, yeah, but then like if I go to make a cup of tea and you're like, yeah, but you'll boil all the bad shit out. I was like, but still. But it wouldn't even be bad shit.

It's the same tap. It just like feels like toilet water, doesn't it? Like I feel like if I'm doing- Is toilet water different to bathroom sink water? Well, water that you flush the toilet with isn't that like recycled. Oh, so it actually is different. I think it is. It's just like grey water.

Grey water, yeah. In some places, not all places. Not all houses would have it, but I i think it is it's like gray water yeah in some places not all places not not all houses would have it but i'm pretty sure i'm pretty sure this whole building where we do the podcast is just all gray i think it's i think so too but i've got a i know this is not correct but i just fucking can't believe and this is you know how how on Monday I was like, do you think I'm smart or do you think I'm dumb? And you're like, both. Yep.

This is like probably not one of the smart ones. Okay. That's interesting. And I'm just putting out there I'm being vulnerable and sharing something with you that I know is going to make me sound dumb, but I still fucking believe it. Okay. I'm here for you, mate.

The day looks different on a weekday and a weekend. Totally agree. Yep. Thank you. Thank you. Yep. The energy of a Saturday is also different to a Sunday. Why?

I don't know. But I reckon, now this might be taking too far. If you showed me two photos, I could tell you which one is a weekend. Me too. Yep. Me too. Now, I know this can't physically be possible, but it's fucking true.

I am 100% behind you. Thank you. Thank you for supporting me. And you're normally behind me, so this is a real challenge. Yeah, it is. I'm pegging you. Can you see the mole in the back of my head right up close? Again.

Oh, the back wax looks good. Wouldn't have gone that low. I would have gone slightly lower, actually. I actually totally agree because when I look out into my courtyard, I'm like, oh, it looks like the weekend. How beautiful. But when I look out there during the week, I'm like, oh, Wednesday. Yeah.

It's like I'm just working. I don't feel like I'm missing anything outside because it's a Wednesday. But then I look out the window on a Saturday and I go, we should be outside doing something. It's the weekend and it's sunny. Completely agree. I think also that Christmas Day has a different smell. The air smells different at Christmas.

It does. On Christmas Eve, the air smells different than it does the rest of the year. Yep. And I know that for a fact. Because I could smell any day and know that it wasn't Christmas. I could tell. Christmas Day does have that feeling, doesn't it? It's got a smell.

It's got a look. It's got a feeling. It doesn't matter if it's raining, hail or shine. Could it be, and not to shoot down my own theory that you're supporting, but could it genuinely be that it does actually smell different because you have a Christmas tree in the house? No, no, no. Well, because I didn't grow up with a real Christmas tree.

We always had a false Christmas tree. So you are actually the first person I've ever known to have a real Christmas tree. We always had a false Christmas tree. So you are actually the first person I've ever known to have a real Christmas tree. Well, we had a real one last year and that was the first Christmas tree I've had in 30 years. Yeah, right. We just didn't have Christmas trees. Yeah. We don't do fun.

That's sad. Yeah. Yeah. Mate, you can come around tomorrow. I've got Christmas fucking coming at my asshole. Don't say that about Christmas. But it's coming out of my ears, Christmas. Are you going to get a real one this year in your new house though?

I don't think so because of Pippa. What is she going to do? She doesn't like Christmas? No, no, no, because if it starts to shed and you get them in your feet or your paws or whatever, I don't want to risk it. So it wasn't a religious thing then? Oh, no, no, no. Okay.

What would be religious about a real and fake tree? No, like if Pippa doesn't do Christmas. Oh, yeah, she's a Jehovah's Witness. Yeah. No, no, no. She loves Christmas. Okay, great. I didn't want to make it uncomfortable.

Oh, no, yeah, because don't talk to her about it. Yeah. Give you the heads up. We don't talk about Christmas in the house. But she does Kwanzaa. Yeah. Is it Kwanzaa? Yep.

Yeah. That's one. Anyway, so we do a fake tree. So I don't think that contributes to the smell. I'm talking about the air outside. The day. It has a smell. It has a feeling.

It has je ne sais quoi. Thanks. Another one. And I didn't think of this until now. I really want to stay on the days because I'm really like- No, we're similar days. I don't think that we've ever really- Agreed on anything in 400 episodes.

Well, agreed on something really silly because normally I say silly stuff and you go, well, that's not real. Does coffee smell and taste different on a weekday to a weekend? Yep. Because I feel- and like the energy- because on a weekday you're like, oh, coffee, get to work. But then on a weekend you're like, I'm going to make a delicious coffee and I'm going to sit here and I'm going to enjoy it

and I'm going to fucking read the paper, look at the weekend day, smell the weekend air. Yeah. Now this is going to have a bit of Ryan John. So I nearly just choked and vomited because I'm so passionate about this. She's so excited. This has got a bit of Ryan John energy about it, what I'm about to say. It's going to be really funny.

That was funny, though. Yeah, it was. It must be a leap year up and once. It's actually not next year. Next year is because the Olympics. Hot girl summer. Yeah. Paris 2024.

Can we please go? Yeah. Let's do this tour first. Yeah, let's get through the US. Not get through the US, get to the US. Imagine if you looked up like I was going to go to a throwback on a TV show. Imagine if you could look at coffee on the weekend, like on a weekday, if you could bottle the energy that you have about a coffee on the weekend, like on a weekday, if you could bottle the energy that you have about a coffee

on the weekend and have that during the week, is that what happy people do? I think so. But you see how that's a bit Ryan, John, because you're like, oh, we'll just look at the coffee the same way that you look at it during the weekend. No, no, it is, it is. And I think one thing that we, and I know you went to the show

last Friday on the public holiday, but I think since we've like quit our jobs and worked for ourselves, the allure of like a long weekend kind of feels meaningless when we don't like, it just feels like another day. Like we've still got stuff to do. There's no like less stuff and like we're still kind of working anyway. But then on other days we're kind of not, like if we wanted to just do something we could.

So then when people go, oh, I'm really excited, it it's a long weekend i feel like i don't get that anymore but like i think that's probably because your mindset is like oh but there's always stuff to do there was always stuff to do at other jobs too yeah but we just didn't give a fuck at those ones but like i mean no future employers very committed but it's really nice that you care about this job that much, that you're like, oh, no, I'm happy to keep working, but also work-life balance. Oh, but I think it's like the, again, if we wanted to not work tomorrow, we could. We could.

Yeah. But just the fact that this is a locked-in thing, my friends are also not working, we're all looking forward to going away. I don't know, it just feels a little bit different. Yeah, I do get. I remember when we were at Kiersten, we're like, oh, it's Easter, we've got the Friday and the Monday off, and you're like, fuck yeah, what are we going to do? And sometimes a long weekend would be all that would keep you going.

Oh, it would. With your three weeks out, I just need to get to that long weekend. Oh, short week. You know, that would really keep you going. Just get me through and then I'll figure out the next one. And because my partner Torbs works like a nine-to-five job, I still get the excitement from him. That's what I'm getting at because Bridget also doesn't have a job, so it's the same. Well, because she's like a stay-at-five job, I still get the excitement from him. That's what I'm getting at because Bridget also doesn't have a job,

so it's the same. Well, because she's like a stay-at-home mum. Yeah. There's no days off there, mate. No, exactly. I tried to explain to Mabel that it's a long weekend. Yeah, so if you could sleep in, babe. No, I actually was like Bridget walked into the room and she's like,

what are you doing? And I was like, I'm trying to explain to her. That we've got tomorrow off. Yeah. Tony's going to the Royal Show. Maybe it's the baby, not the self-employed thing that's stolen the day. It's probably a little bit of both because I remember like recently saying to you like, you were like, oh, yeah, we'll just do that on Sunday.

And I was like, the weekend's actually the only time I get with Torbs. Yeah. And you were like, oh, I didn't even think about that because if you're working from home, you've got a spare hour or whatever and you're like hanging out with Bridget and Mabel. I'm like, yeah, well, Torbs is working. Yeah. And then so for the long weekend I was like, oh,

he's still pumped about a short week so I kind of can like get excited about that as well. Do you reckon he buys into our theory that the days are different? No. He's very pragmatic. He's like, well, the calendar says Monday, it's Monday. He's boring, isn't he? He's not boring.

He's just very pragmatic. I'll use the same word again. What I'm going to put in the episode thread, and by me I mean camera, don't give me that look. I was going to say. Everyone saw that judging face. I want to know two things. One, do you agree that the weekend and the weekdays just look different?

And it feels different. and it feels different it feels different and second of all is there something that you like no isn't true but like it's fucking true there's another good example that ryan um shared when i talked about driving to the airport that he said that if i had have left home half an hour earlier i would have half an hour later i would have gotten to my destination earlier because there wouldn't have been as much traffic. And it's like, you know. I stand by that.

I stand by that. You know, it's not true, but it is also true. I stand by that. Yeah, no, but I'm on your team, mate. Thank you. You don't have to yell at me, but it's another good example. Please don't yell at me. I would also, as a third question, do you think you can smell Christmas?

Very scientific discussion. Fourth question. Yes. If we came out with a fragrance. Sorry, I'm really trying to think of a fifth question. If we came out with a, it's not called a fragrance, like a room. What are those room fragrances? Like a diffuser or like an oil thing.

If we brought out a Tony and Ryan branded everyday smells like Christmas, would anyone buy it? Summer hot smell. Yeah, so a bit of sweat, bit of sand. Yeah, bit of sun smell. You know how like summer's got a different smell? Maybe a little bit of pine in there just to give it a bit of Christmas. Like a freshly cut grass and a bit of pine.

I enjoy a freshly cut grass, especially when it's not going to give me hay fever. It's a difficult balance. Yeah, because I'm running hot on antihistamines at the moment. I'm jacked up. I'm real jacked up. Oh, yeah. Yeah, okay.

Up next, AI tarp. And we're just going to spend the break discussing the room fragrance of Tony and Ryan. G'day, it's Luke from Norella, New South Wales, and you are listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout-out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon. That is Tony and Ryan, podcast. Yes.

Matt. I know. I'm muffed. I'm miffed about the. You're muffed? I'm muffed. I'm all muffed up. You didn't get my muffed.

I'm all miffed about the AI coming up. Sorry, I was going to concentrate. Just chill out. Matt Aldridge, thank you so much. Michaela Beveridge, love to see that, Michaela. Thank you. Michaela Beveragino. Oh, Jake Keaton.

Love you, Jake. Hattie Aspel and James Lee Price. My niece is called Hattie. Do you like the name Hattie? I love the name Hattie. I think it's just such a cute – it's the same way I feel about the name like Florence or Eleanor, just like a beautiful, wispy name. I love it.

Beautiful. You think of the colour yellow when you hear it. You are whimsical. Yeah, I am. Summer's here. I've actually been so good recently. You think of the colour yellow when you hear it. You are whimsical. Yeah, I am. Summer's here. I've actually been so good recently. You have? Yeah.

So good. So good. Yeah, so good. As I'm a white guy that works on a podcast, I need to have a hot take on AI. Okay. I think that's the rules. You've said you're a white guy a lot.

Are you compensating for something? What's going on? I'm compensating for a lot of things. What's happening? Do I spend too much time on LinkedIn or is like- Yes. If you've been on LinkedIn recently, then the answer is yes. I feel like I read all these articles, even though there's no evidence in the real world that I've experienced, but it's always like, oh, AI is taking our jobs. Oh, we're all doomed. Oh, it's going to turn on us. Well, remember the other week when I did the My You Love to See It was,

you know, everyone's worried about AI taking their jobs and then it was like someone had written into chat GPT and it was like create salmon in the river and it was like fillets of salmon like floating in the water. I think we're fine. There's also I think the Australian Financial Review did the top 20 earners under 40 or something. And because they're all scattered all over the world,

they couldn't get them together for a photo shoot. So there's like Samantha Kerr, the footballer, and a bunch of like. Oh, sure. And one of the side stories was like we did their portraits using AI instead of getting them together because, again, trying to wrangle all those people. And Samantha Kerr has 17 fingers on one hand and something. And this is like in a really glossy magazine,

like the special edition, you know, like the rich list kind of thing. And Samantha Kerr, you kind of look at her and go, like she looks, obviously there's no scale, but like she kind of looks like she's six foot eight in this picture. Is it a bit like when you go to Madame Tussauds and you go, I see what you were going for, but it's not quite right. Like it might look like them. What am I trying to say?

It's based on them. It's based on a true story. Yeah, but like, you know, even when someone goes, oh, no, it's right because it's 17 centimetres by six centimetres, you go, yeah. But it's not about the measurements. It's like the energy of their face or whatever. It's like you've taken a weekend photo on a weekday. You ain't fooling anyone.

It's like when people go, oh, I pre-recorded this content, and I go, I could tell. It looks like a Tuesday. Yep. So with Samantha Kerr, they probably got the dimensions right, but I said looking at her with nothing to scale, just with a plain background, it looked like she was 6'8", because there was just something about the proportion.

The way it looked, yeah. Do you think if you didn't know it was AI, you would feel obviously the 17 fingers fucking give it away, but say there wasn't any dead giveaways, do you think that you could tell the difference? Because I reckon you can. I reckon you don't know what's wrong, but you just know it's something that you like.

In your tummy there's something not right, eh? Yeah. So Franco, who slices up the videos for us. Yeah, Franco. Franco ran 30 seconds of my voice into the AI machine and then typed in a script and I went. No. Yeah, and this is from feeding 30 seconds worth.

So this is not me talking. This is AI learning my voice and then reading Franco's script. Okay. You ready for this? No. Tell me if you feel like it's real. Hey, Ryan, it's AI Ryan here. I've been dubbing over some lines for you in the videos.

Let Franco know if you want him to delete me. I know it's super creepy having a computer that sounds exactly like you, so no hard feelings. I know it's not you because I listen to your voice literally like 24-7. I never shut the fuck up. you because I listen to your voice literally like 24-7. I never shut the fuck up. But it doesn't really have the like deep raspiness that your voice has.

It's a bit more nasal, but it's fucking 100%. Like it's based on you 100%. What do you think? That's your voice. I heard it and I go, I can hear me in there. Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, and I think that's from feeding it 30 seconds of me. Imagine if you gave it a couple of hours. That's what I mean, a few episodes, put it through.

And when you say I sound a bit nasally, we both were kind of sick last week and I don't know if that's when he took it. Oh, my God. Right? Yeah. Let's listen one more time. Hey, Ryan, it's AI Ryan here. I've been dubbing over some lines for you in the videos.

Let Franco know if you want him to delete me. I know it's super creepy having a computer that sounds exactly like you, so no hard feelings. I think even the ups and the downs and the pauses and the breaths. Yeah, it definitely has the right cadences of your voice. Yeah, cadence is the word. I prefer to call cadence the

ups and the downs and the wooms and the boos. That's fine. I think it's just, yeah, the actual timbre of your voice is a bit off, but yeah, the cad like timbre of your voice is a bit off. But, yeah, the cadences are perfect. Do you want to hear Tony Lodge? No, because I'll get scared. I don't think Tony Lodge is as accurate as Ryan John.

Okay. And we talk in third person now. Oh, I don't like this. I'm going to get scared. Let me. That's so scary. So I could easily like type that into the machine and like send that to someone and go hi it's ryan here um i hate bananas uh if it's scandal stuff you want

we'll uh we'll get there yeah uh franco and i've been preparing this all week but first of all oh uh here's i don't think it's as accurate with you. Okay. But again, you can sort of hear where it's coming from, but you be the judge. Okay. Hi, I'm AI Tony. I sound exactly like the author Dr. Tony Lodge from that garbage podcast. That doesn't sound like me at all.

You sound like I've got black hair. Hi, I'm AI Tony. I sound exactly like the author Dr. Tony Lodge from that garbage podcast. No. That doesn't sound like me at all. I think at the beginning there's a little bit of me, but, nah, I don't think that sounds like me at all. So I thought it'd be better if I got something that you would, like, actually say if that just, like, brought us a little bit closer.

Fucking hell. This is the last piece of it. Ryan is always on time and has never been late, and he is an awesome person whose penis isn't that small that does sound right that one actually sounded more like me i agree that's what you said that's what i hear from you well that's actually a recording of me talking are you concerned how do you feel i'd love love to hear it if you fed more audio in. Yeah.

Because, you know, like I could be in Italy and you could be in fucking Africa in the jungle and we could do like an IM chat and Franco could load that into the machine and that would be the podcast for the day. See you later. But I feel like text would be, hi, how are you? Good. How is Africa? Yeah, lol.

These two people fed in a bunch of Joe Rogan and someone else. Yep. And then typed in kind of like a script for a brand. Oh, yeah. And so it sounds like Joe Rogan's like, yeah, I tried this product and it was awesome. That's so scary. Yeah. And so you can imagine like in a court of law, when it's like, oh, you know, there's evidence.

We've got the audio tape. You know what I mean? That's terrifying, eh? Yes, I killed him. But like, yeah. Have you heard A.I. Drake? Yes, I have heard that. And that's like pretty good.

And there was a weekend one as well that came out. Yeah. It's pretty scary and I hate to be, you know, I know that you make the joke like, oh, I'm a white guy with a podcast. Of course I've got a take on AI. But here's my state of the nation. But like I hate to be the girl on the white guy's podcast. I was like, I'm so scared by AI.

But actually like that's pretty horrifying. Like the things that are possible, like you could break up a relationship. The message from the guy being like, hey, baby, thanks's pretty horrifying. Like, the things that are possible, like, you could break up a relationship. The message from the guy being like, hey, baby, thanks for last night. Yeah. Like, I could call anyone and pretend to be any person, especially, like, a celebrity who you could get access to clean audio, someone like Joe Rogan. Feed it in.

Who's got, like, a distinctive voice. There's obviously, like, hours and hours and hours of clean audio that you could use if he's like, it's pretty fucked. But I'll tell you what the good thing is. What? Is you can do bad shit and then just blame it on AI. Well, no, but you know what you could do? It would save you time with like ordering dinner.

So you're going to call the fish and chip shop, just type it in and play it out and they go, hey, how are you go yes i will get two fishers please but hopefully you'll get the right recording because they go hello research fish and chips what can i get you ryan is always on time and has never been late yeah but i was actually just wondering how you going did you want a flake isn't that small that small. Oh, I mean, good for him. Yeah, okay. No battered staff required? Yeah, did you want the large chips? But thank you, Franco, for sending this through, I think. Yeah, I think I would love to hear it with more audio, like more stuff. Should I get him to delete it? Because that was the original audio's question.

Hey, Ryan, it's AI Ryan here. I've been dubbing over some lines for you in the videos. Let Franco know if you want him to delete me. I know it's super creepy having a computer that sounds exactly like you, so no hard feelings. The more I listen to that, it does sound more like you. Yeah. But keep it handy, Franco, I reckon.

What the fuck does that mean? Just in case. What the fuck does that mean? You never know. Never know what? What don't you know? What don't you know? I've got to love to say it.

Caroline from England emailed us this. I know. AI's coming, mate, but some people are still catching up. Hi, Tony and Ryan. I have a love to say it for you. Thank you, Caroline. After getting chronic fatigue syndrome following a COVID infection and being really poorly for the past few years, poor thing,

Caroline says, I wasn't able to get out of bed or look after myself. So, like, I know we talked about it the other day, but, like, fuck COVID, it's just fucked, isn't it? Yeah. I just submitted my PhD thesis and started training to become a clinical psychologist. Oh, my God. Isn't that amazing?

Yeah, I was doing so poorly that I was like, I just needed to get up and go and get, like, get going. Is it also a thing that's like... Sorry, we've got a fan on and I think something's blocked my eye. Yeah, I was going to say, I was the video show and you won't stop looking like you've got a diseased face. Look like I've got, like, a fucking stye in my eye or something. I think, I don't know if you've said something similar about a funeral.

Do you want a moment, mate? You look like a pirate. No. Yeah, keep going. That you go to a funeral and the service was really nice and you go, I think it would be rewarding to be the funeral director. Or you go to a psychologist and you're having a bad time and you go, fuck, they helped me so much.

What a great gift to be able to, like, learn and pay forward and stuff. Yeah. And now she's got a PhD. Yeah, pretty huge dick. I've been working towards this for 10 years and thought my illness would make it impossible. But I've got one doctorate down and one to go. You love to see it.

She's going to be two doctors. And then in the bracket she said, who the hell does two doctorates? Am I okay? Please send help. Lots of love from England. Sounds like you hell does two doctorates? Am I okay? Please send help. Lots of love from England, Caroline. Sounds like you need to see a psychiatrist, am I right? And then she goes, Caroline, hey, Phyllis. Well, I'm just like, don't really know.

Don't really know why I'm doing two doctorates. She goes, well, I can't help you because I'm you, Caroline. Yeah, that sounds like bipolar. Yeah. Or the AI. Yeah, the AI thing. Hello, Caroline. Dave Parsons' hot dad is a twice doctor.

Dr. Dr. Parsons, nice. I really love to see it from Safi George. Safi George. Who is a tarper from Launceston. She says one of the local cafes puts on free dinner every Friday night, tonight, for those who are struggling or homeless or not maybe able to get themselves a meal. So they just go, yep, the cafe's open.

Not only does the cafe put on, like, some services and help, but, like, other people will, like, oh, yep, I've cooked up a roast and I'll bring it down and sort of help out. Oh, like a potluck. Kind of, yeah. We should do a potluck. Yeah? Because that's really fun, like, to bring a plate,

like everyone brings a plate and, like. Potluck. Do you reckon we could do that with tapas? It'd be a bit crazy, wouldn't it? No, I think it's okay. But, like, brings a plate and like... Potluck. Do you reckon we could do that with tapas? It'd be a bit crazy, wouldn't it? No, I think it's okay. This one's me trust. You can't just get some randos. Oh, eat this. Say if we got like a big RSL haul

and everybody just brought stuff down and we did like a big thing. Save the date to bring a plate. Say no more. Shut the gate. It's going to be great. I won't be on time because I'll be... late. Late.

I was late. Last week they put the call out for some gifts because a little girl who goes there most Fridays, it was her sixth birthday party. The response from the community was overwhelming. Gifts galore. So many other businesses stepping in to provide some little lolly bags and set up a kids' corner with birthday cake and more.

It was just beautiful. What a community can do for each other. It really restores my faith in humanity. I bet that little girl had the best birthday ever thanks to a bunch of strangers. You'll love to see it. Thanks, Safi, for sharing that. That is so beautiful.

It really is, isn't it? That's really sweet. I wonder if there's something like that in Melbourne that we could give a little shout-out to. I'm sure there would be. Oh, what about the – oh, I feel so bad. I can't remember the name off the top of my head. Remember those guys with the van during COVID?

That we donated all that money to when we didn't eat those nuggets? Oh, of course. The Sikh – Sikh, yeah. S-E-K. Yeah. Sikh volunteers. We gave them a couple of thousand bucks.

Yeah, because we didn't need heaps of nuggets. Anyway, thank you so much for watching, for listening, wherever you are. Don't forget that I should have said this at the beginning, but you can actually watch this on your smart TV. Yeah, you probably should have said that. That's okay. If you want to watch it, go back to the beginning. Watch it again.

Shut up. Monday. Father's Day. Yep. Are you guilty of being an emo teen? Tony, sit on those hands. Because that's going to feel pretty pointed. I've seen some pics of you when you were earlier.

When you were earlier? Younger? Oh, my God, the AI bot's still going? Yeah, you just found it. Right click, cinnamon. Cinnamon. What's the word I'm trying to say? Synonym. Synonym.

This just proves that it's not a bot. I'm really here. The thing is, is that if Ryan ever starts talking properly, you'll know that we've switched to AI. Machine learning. All right, we'll chat to you on Monday. Love you on Monday. Love you. Bye.
