Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Arthur Tony Lodge and we are calling- We're on a hot streak. Perth again. Perth town. God's country. No, mother mother land. The mother land. I get confused. No, that's New Zealand. God's country.
Starting point is 00:00:11 God's country. We're calling Samantha, who's in Perth. Oh! Perth-man-tha. No, okay. Samantha! Hi! Hey, it's Tony and Ryan.
Starting point is 00:00:27 Oh, my God. You guys have made my fucking day. There is no way. Are you trying to escape from a one-night stand? You sound like you're being very quiet this morning. Let's not talk about it. Is that actually happening? Well, it's very early because the time difference is very early at the moment.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Yeah. So, let's just let that one. It's 7.30. Yeah. Anyway, so, it's a beautiful because the time difference is very early at the moment in Perth. Yeah. So, let's just like let that one. Yeah, okay. 7.30. Yeah. Anyway, so it's a beautiful day outside. Let's talk about that. No.
Starting point is 00:00:50 I'm actually leaving. Samantha, will you approve today's podcast? No, no, no, no. Samantha, I need the goss. I will. Approve, approve, approve. Yeah. Hi, it's Samantha from Perth and I approve this podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Guys, there's breaking news. I've got popcorn in my teeth. Two pieces of breaking news. First news, Tony. There's popcorn in my teeth. Second news, we're recording today in the Spotify studios in Los Angeles. And Toni just ran into Heidi Montag in the toilet. I want to cry. I love the hills so much. I actually did not know that you were going to say that and that's why I led with the popcorn. Okay. Yeah. What do you think
Starting point is 00:01:39 is big news? Both are pretty big. I mean, I don't know if Spencer's here as well. I'm going to keep an eye out. Was that a good thing or a bad thing if he was? Bad for back in the day. Bad if you're an LC fan like me. But apparently he's reformed. A celebrity spotter slash star fucker.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Star fucker. But the thing is, I'm not super into celebs except for like shit reality TV. I just love TV, like reality TV. So did you like say hi? So I walked- Did you walk out of the cubicle and go, I wouldn't go in there and go, oh, fuck, it's Heidi Montag? She said that to me. No.
Starting point is 00:02:17 So I was walking into the toilet and she was like walking out and I went, oh, sorry. She went, that's fine. And then I went, oh, hello. And she went, hey. And then she kept walking. Hi, D. Yeah. Heidi then I went, oh, hello. And she went, hey. And then she kept walking. Hey, D. Yeah. Heidi.
Starting point is 00:02:27 I get it, yeah. And on Heidi and Ryan today, you'll hear her tell a story about how she ran into Tony Lodge in the- Heidi and Ryan? Yeah. Did you just go on and record a podcast with her after this? I just assume it was just like, that's just how a podcast is. That's what a podcast is called.
Starting point is 00:02:39 They just find a little ride. She'll find a little, you know. Yeah. A little sidekick. She needs a sidekick. Yeah. All strong women do. I really do have this popcorn in my teeth, guys.
Starting point is 00:02:51 These are top confessions. That's my confession. Yeah. The popcorn. Confessions, submit them. TonyandRyan.com.au. They are completely anonymous. Frustratingly anonymous.
Starting point is 00:03:04 And anonymous has sent this through. The confession is, I met Tony Lodge in the toilet at Spotify in LA. I think I busted my dad cheating when he thought I was his mistress. For those playing along at home, Tony is speechless, which is strange for Tony, especially as she just ran into Hardy Montag. Hang on. Hang on.
Starting point is 00:03:31 I thought that was the mistress. Because they were like a glory hole or something. Oh, did the dad fuck the daughter? Oh, my God. That's what I was worried about. Well, you can see why I was so upset, distressed by the news. Let me go tell Heidi I'll ask her what she reckons. I've been driving a rental car while my car is getting fixed
Starting point is 00:03:55 because I hit a deer. That'll do some damage to your car. Oh, dear. Yeah. Deary me. I drove through a drive-through coffee place and noticed my dad was in the car behind me. Driving through a drive-through coffee place in the rental car. Yep. Dad's behind you. Yep. Fucking you. I said. Oh, no, in the car.
Starting point is 00:04:14 I said to the lady, can I pay for the person behind me? Tell him it's from a secret admirer. Ha ha. Oh, like pay it forward kind of vibe. Yeah, but it's like her dad. Oh, but she knew it was the dad. That's funny. Yeah. Oh, actually, no, it forward kind of vibe. Yeah, but it's like her dad. Oh, but she knew it was the dad. That's funny. Oh, actually, no, that's kind of fucked anyway, isn't it? Secret admirer. Isn't that just like a real primary school cheeky?
Starting point is 00:04:33 Yeah. Oh, yeah, just cheeky. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I then pulled over at the front. So then he would have got the free coffee going, what the hell? And then I drove up and going, oh, it's her. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's my daughter.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Yeah. Who I'm not having sex with. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just, I'm really stuck on how you get those chicken fingers. Yeah, well, he stopped and got out of his car and walked up and said. With his cock out. He's at a drive-thru coffee place. Drive-thru cocky place, yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:04 And he walks over and sees my windows down and said, I thought we were going to wait until we got to the hotel before he realised it was me. It turns out he's been cheating on my step-mom with a lady who drives the same type of car as the rental. He then tried to backtrack and go, oh, just joking, oh, you need sweetie. Cheeky.
Starting point is 00:05:21 backtrack and go, oh, just joking. Oh, you need sweetie. Cheeky. But I could tell from his initial voice and his backtrack what was going on. Dark tint, obviously, on those windows. Darkest legal tint. Fuck. That is. So, then what happened?
Starting point is 00:05:42 Like, do we know? That's all we know. And I can't ask follow-up know? That's all we know. And I can't ask follow-up questions because it's annoyingly anonymous. Frustratingly anonymous. Yep. So, what would you do in that situation, Ryan, if that was like, if you're the person in the car and your dad kind of lets that slip? I probably wouldn't bang the dad.
Starting point is 00:05:58 No. I mean, how hot's the dad? That's what, you know. Is it my dad? No. No. Like- I wonder if they broke up. then do you have like an ex
Starting point is 00:06:07 step mum? I guess it depends on how long like technically yes you would but whether you had a relationship with them or not I guess would depend on how long they'd been together. That's my ex step mum. Yeah like. Because I don't know what's happened but the fact that step mum maybe you know. Has this happened before? This guy's a creeper. Repeating old habits or something. But.
Starting point is 00:06:29 I think you shouldn't open with that line. Well, no. And also. And clearly see who it is. Also, the whole purpose of a drive-thru is that you don't have to get out of the car. Yeah. Like, why wouldn't you just like hit call on the Bluetooth? Like, call mistress and be like, thanks for the coffee.
Starting point is 00:06:47 You know, I don't know. Call mistress. Well, I don't know her name. Is that what you'd save them in your phone? Yeah, because then it would be, like, hiding in plain sight. It's like, oh, well, it's obviously not your mistress, but it is. You know what I mean? What's your side hoe called in your phone?
Starting point is 00:07:04 I think that- Mine's called Tony. Nice. That's very funny. I think if I was going to cheat on my boyfriend, I'd probably save it as like Australia Post Burnley or something like that. Like you'd save it as like a business. No, Wanda Torps has been having issues with the Post Office.
Starting point is 00:07:18 With the Post Office. Yeah. He's had an issue with the Post and they've been posting his partner. No, but that's why I say about the post office because they're always fucking me. You know what I mean? You haven't been lying. That's pretty funny. Yeah, you haven't been lying.
Starting point is 00:07:30 That's pretty funny. Guys have been fucked by the post office. Oh, what happened? Yeah, just. That's what he saved in his phone. Yeah. So, fucked by the post office. What was his name?
Starting point is 00:07:40 Anyway, sorry, I'm crazy today. I've got a Diet Coke on the go. Half a cheese stick. A Diet Coke on the go. Half a cheese stick. A Diet Coke in a can. In a can. I'm never leaving the United States of America. Actually, take that back because someone might be listening and go, oh, she's going to overstay her holiday visa.
Starting point is 00:07:58 How long is that holiday visa? 90 days. Oh, we've got ages. Yeah, that's why it's 90 Day Fiancé. You know that show? Is that why? Yeah. So, you've got 90 days before they get got ages. Yeah. That's why it's 90 Day Fiancé. You know that show? Is that why? Yeah. So, you've got 90 days before they get booted.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Yeah. Kick her out. Kick her out. Don't you dare. Don't. Don't kick me out. I really don't want to leave. Is this evil genius or criminal or just evil or just genius?
Starting point is 00:08:23 Oh, my God. Five options. Since COVID, Goodwill have changed their changing rooms. Is Goodwill like up shop? Yeah, for sure. Proof store. Yep. So, usually you go try the close on.
Starting point is 00:08:33 They closed that for COVID because obviously contact. And I think they're just going, we're not doing that anymore. Oh, so you just got to raw dug it and hope for the best. Yeah, which is risky. They don't have a return or refund policy, but they do have an exchange so you can take it back with the tag still on and get something else for the same value. Oh, yeah. That's quite good, I guess.
Starting point is 00:08:52 I recently bought a tagging gun for $20 off Amazon. So, I buy a bunch of stuff. No. And if it doesn't fit, I take it back. And if it does fit, I'll re-tag one of my own pieces of clothing that I've like, you know, worn enough times and had enough of. And if it's a similar description, because they're pretty generic, like medium-sized girl's top. I like this one.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Okay, I'll just send that one back instead. Is this morally wrong? Goodwill have recently raised their prices like crazy. And I think this is better than donating clothes because sometimes they just throw them out i mean the reason that prices go up normally is because that many people steal that they have to like cover their costs i think like you're buying things from goodwill and i'll be honest i don't know about goodwill because i'm not american but in australia all of the op shops, like, go to, like, the
Starting point is 00:09:45 money goes to charity. The people that work there are volunteers. That's a fucking dog shit thing to do, I reckon. Is this morally wrong? Yes, and criminally wrong. Like, literally, you are stealing. Is this morally wrong? I just killed a guy.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Is that wrong? Yeah, like, it's not a grey area. Like, you're talking about, like, actually doing the wrong fucking thing. Like, it's not a grey area. Like, you're talking about, like, actually doing the wrong fucking thing. And also, you're taking it from, like, other people that, like, need access to, like, clothing. Cheap clothes. Just fucking donate it, you fucking dick.
Starting point is 00:10:17 That is such a dick thing to do. Just want to remind you, this person listens to our podcast and pays your bills. Well. Without them, we couldn't buy our own Amazon gun for 20 bucks. But the thing the thing yeah i'm not stealing clothes from the underprivileged like that's i think that so you don't think that that's fucked no it's pretty fucked i think it's i think it's hilarious that she's like is it morally wrong like it clearly is yeah and also you know that thing was like if you have to ask like i reckon you already know. Yeah. Like, I.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Yeah. The fact that you've bought a tagging gun from Emma, that's like intent. You know, when they, like, when you, something just randomly happens. And you go, oh, that was a bit cheeky, but like. This is like cold hearted and calculated. Calculated. Pre-planned. Pre-meditated.
Starting point is 00:11:01 Is that what they say? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And it's also that, like, I buy other things. If they don't, then I take it back.
Starting point is 00:11:07 That's one thing. But then taking your stuff and, like, you're then making money, basically, of, like, oh, I think that's so shit. Yeah. I. Also. I hope you get caught. I hope you get caught.
Starting point is 00:11:24 After this episode, a bit of a spike on Amazon tagging guns Oh, yeah, I mean, because like, why can you buy that? Is it for small business owners? Or is this the market for it? Hey, and this is what the guy would say at Big Tagging He'd be like, we just make the product and it's for sale Customers can buy, you know, I'm just in the I'm in the tagging gun business
Starting point is 00:11:51 I'm in the tagging game Big tag, yeah And that's what I do and I don't judge Because I'm not judging people Well, I can't police what people do with the tagging gun Nah, yeah, I think that's cruel I don't think you can do that. Up next, something else that may be morally wrong.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Oh, no. And a bride on her wedding day is seeing me at my worst. This isn't criminally wrong as well, is it? You go, so I bought a tagging gun to the wedding. I believe that, yes, there was some criminal activity involved. Ryan, no. Yeah, not by me. Can you wait till we get out of the country?
Starting point is 00:12:26 No, I got got. I got oceaned 11. I got cloonied. I got pitted. Hot, hot, hot, hot. It's not hot when you're the one getting got. You've never been had before then. Hi, it's Samantha from Perth and you're listening to Tony and Ryan.

Starting point is 00:13:56 I've just put so much cheese in my mouth. Yeah, that's what I, yeah. The difference between me last night and you now is I wasn't mid-podcast when I did it. We're all friends here. Well, I hope so. Recently, I was called into question about ordering a steak in a bowling alley. Are you guys still against that? I blocked that out. Yeah, I am still against that.
Starting point is 00:14:19 So, let me get this straight. Bowling alleys, great. Steaks, excellent. Steak at a bowling alley. Questionable. Not good.ys, great. Steaks, excellent. Steak at a bowling alley. Questionable. Not good. Cheese, great. Podcast, awesome.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Cheese on a podcast. Maybe not. Maybe not. Yeah, okay. What's worse? What I did at the bowling alley or getting a massage at a blackjack table at the casino? The steak, definitely. Did you see what happened?
Starting point is 00:14:48 I didn't. I've heard murmurings about this. I believe there's footage of me bent over a blackjack table by a four foot 11 lady getting a massage. I don't smoke like ever, but apparently someone was holding a lit cigarette in my mouth at the time. And I couldn't even, I couldn't get away. Couldn't get away. Oh God, they just fell in my mouth. But the thing with blackjack is you still need to like see the cards.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Am I hitting? Am I folding? Like you're still like playing cards and I'm bent over on the table, table getting massaged and trying to deal the cards and then someone's puffing smoke in my face. And I'm next to a bride on her wedding day who is laughing her ass off at me. Is it true we have video footage of this? It is true. No, it's not because you can't film in a casino. So it's not true. We don't have that footage, unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:15:48 It's not flattering footage. I've seen it. It's not flattering. There's no footage to be seen because you can't do that. There's the grey area for you. The steak in the bowling alley, definitely worse than this because this is elite. Is it though?
Starting point is 00:16:00 The thing is. I think if you've seen the footage, I think you'd change your tune. The footage does not exist, but yes, I have seen it. Okay. And no, it's not great. But the thought of, I think like, if you think about it like this, say you're a high roller, right? And you're in the Rolex room or fucking whatever they call it. I just imagine like that's what it's called.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Yeah, okay. And that you walk in, you bet a Rolex, they give you a free one to use or whatever. And they go, oh, and you get a massage and you puff it on a cigar and someone brings you a martini and whatever. You go, wow. But when you're at the $5 minimum bet and you're wearing a tuxedo t-shirt and someone's holding a menthol cigarette in your mouth and someone is bending you over and the woman's like,
Starting point is 00:16:48 yeah, you can't ash on the table, sir. It's a really different end of the spectrum. Like, I just, I hope that everyone's picturing that in their head right now. I want everyone to imagine a state-of-the-art, beautiful five-star casino. And then imagine us going, the minimum's a two-to-higher bet. What's that cheap place across the street? And that is where we were. So you think about the Rolex room and then you think
Starting point is 00:17:13 about the menthol cigarette. I think that's like the two ends of the stick that we're talking about. And we were on the menthol cigarette end. Sir, can you not answer? I'm not even holding it. Someone just put it in my mouth. I suggest you hit.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Yeah. I also like to live dangerously. It was a real sight to see. And Kelly, it's her wedding day, her day of days. We were all pushing the boat out a little bit, giving it a fair nudge, as was she, and she was losing it. I couldn't believe, like, what I was hearing. When you told me later, I was in the bathroom trying to help this poor girl who'd passed out on the floor in the toilet.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Yeah, she shouldn't have been standing there. And then the security guards came in. I was like, I'm so sorry, like, there's a girl in there. Like, I don't know if she's okay. Like, she, whatever. And her friends were there. There's all this stuff. Then I come back out and you're like, yeah, so then she gave me a massage.
Starting point is 00:18:11 I was like, wow. So, it goes Rolex room, menthol cigarette, me in the toilet. So, the massage lady comes over. So, is it just like while you're bedding they do that for you? Yeah, they just cruise around and, you know, they're working for tips or whatever. And she goes, oh, half an hour, $50. And I was like, half an hour? I'm like, give me, can I do three minutes? Yeah, I just, I got a bit of a tight neck, sweetheart. That's all I need. Yeah, I just thought it was funny as well. And she's like, oh,
Starting point is 00:18:39 no, because I was like, $50, fuck that. And I was like, hey. Also, $50 for half an hour means that you're sitting at the table for half an hour. Yeah. You can't not bet, right? If I was going to spend, well, yeah, you can. But it's like, it's hard to concentrate on the cards. And she was like, working the spot. The house always wins, mate.
Starting point is 00:18:57 That's the thing. It really does. Yeah. It really does. So, I go, oh. I was like, can you just give me like a minute or two for five bucks? And she goes, yeah, five bucks, 10 minutes, all good. And I went, great.
Starting point is 00:19:09 And I was like, all right. Well, that was easy negotiating. I only really want five minutes. So, for the 10 minutes, I'll take five and I'll get five for Kelly on her wedding day. And she goes. That's nice. I loved Kelly. She goes, that's a great offer, Ryan.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Thank you so much. Don't let that bitch fucking touch me. Because she had her dress on. Oh, and it was covered in sequins. Sequins. So, could you imagine getting a massage with sequins? It'd be like pushing pins into your back. But also the sequins would probably all like rip off.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Yeah. Because you'd be like trying to move around. And I was like, no, trust me. Once you see me getting this massage, you'll want it as well. And after the first minute, she's pissing herself off and going, I a thousand percent don't want that. Was it not very good? No, but like it actually was good, but in the worst way
Starting point is 00:19:47 because I'm pulling all these faces because she's hitting the pressure points and the sore spots and I'm at the table like... And you've got a ciggy in your mouth. Can't breathe anyway. And they're like, sir, and I'm trying to count to 21 because we're playing blackjack and my math is all over the place. And it was just a real mess. So, then after, and this is where the fucking Ocean's Eleven swindle comes in.
Starting point is 00:20:09 This sounds to me a bit like when Netflix and chill was a big thing. I can't concentrate on two things at once. I don't think you would. If I'm getting fingered, I can't be concentrating on what's going on. I think with Netflix and chill is like you say you're going to Netflix and then you just chill. I don't think you do both at the same time. Did you think people were doing both at the same time?
Starting point is 00:20:27 I'm like, yeah, Tiger King. Oh, wow. What's he doing? Oh, you know. I thought people were enjoying a documentary and a- A dickumentary. A cockumentary. So, my 10 minutes is up and I know because she's got a timer with a buzzer.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Oh, how relaxing. So, my 10 minutes is up and I know because she's got a timer with a buzzer. Oh, how relaxing. God, there's nothing that like, you know, lulls you out of a deep massage-induced coma. Yeah. The buzzer goes off, your ciggy's running out and you've got to light another one. But what's even more annoying than the at the end was the like, like it was an egg timer thing. Oh, God. And so, you're trying to relax, but you're on the clock, you know. Like, are you enjoying that?
Starting point is 00:21:08 Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah. So, it goes, ding. She's like, yep, 10 minutes, $30. Oh. And I go, no, I gave you five. She goes, yep, only 25 more.
Starting point is 00:21:21 And what are you going to do? The house always wins, mate. You're going to call her. Like, what are you going to do? And when we say the house. You're going to call her. What are you going to do? And when we say the house always wins, I mean, we were in a rental condo. You know, it wasn't a house. Yeah. Like, it wasn't a fancy place.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Yeah, but that means they've got non-fancy security that just knows some shit. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Because the fancy, like, getting dusted up by a fancy security guard is actually a nice time. Yeah, that's a better massage probably than the one that you got. Yeah, but a back alley security guard, they know where the cameras aren't looking, you know what I'm saying? Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:21:49 But what are you going to say? Oh, no, and you've got to do it. Yeah. And you're in front of Kelly on her wedding day. What are you going to be like? Oh, no. No, I don't fucking have to give you $10, you know, like you're- Then I have to peel my last couple of chips off the table
Starting point is 00:22:03 and put them in her pocket after she agreed to do 10 minutes for five bucks, which, to be fair, seemed like too good of a deal at the time. And you go, I didn't even want that. Isn't that the worst when you go, I've paid for that and it wasn't even what I wanted? I paid for it three times. I've lost money at the table.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Yeah. I've lost money in the massage house and I've lost all sense of self-respect by having a menthol cigarette in my mouth. Yeah. And then your ciggy went out. So, you had to start a new one. And then I had to cough up menthol cigarette for the next five days. How do people smoke?
Starting point is 00:22:36 How do people actually smoke? How do they live? Because that was feral. It's such a good choice at the time, isn't it? No. It's no. Because you go, yeah, fuck it, who cares? And then you go, well, have I done that?
Starting point is 00:22:48 Yeah. Anyway, well, mate, you got swindled in Vegas more ways than one. Sorry to Kelly. Sorry to Kelly. Hopefully, they probably went home and went, they really fucked the end of the day. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah, they're pushing the boat out and then there's fucking jumping
Starting point is 00:23:03 on the Titanic, isn't there? Yeah, and fucking making it go down, you know what I mean? Like. Yeah. There's pushing the boat out and then there's fucking jumping on the Titanic, isn't there? Yeah. And fucking making it go down. You know what I'm saying? Oh, no, that's like not what I meant. I got a love to see it. Oh, okay. And I don't know if Tony will remember this, but it's from Andrew. Why is it one that I sent?
Starting point is 00:23:17 I've already done it. That is quite funny. That's annoyingly funny. Yeah. Thank you. Andrew says, My love to see it is my soon-to-be wife and I randomly getting sat at a table in Caesar's Palace next to Tony and Ryan.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I do remember this. Really? Yes, I do. Do you remember getting a photo with them? Nah. They said it was so crazy we got seated next to them and I thought, oh, they look pretty having a good time and they're wearing tuxedo t-shirts.
Starting point is 00:23:44 That's us, Tony. Oh, that's a good photo. Yeah. That's a great photo. And aren't we in a good mood? We are happy, yeah. That was pre-Menthol Cigarette. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:54 So, yeah, we didn't. Well before. Yeah. But I remember Andrew goes, oh, what are you doing here? I said, oh, we're marrying these people. And he goes, oh, we're actually getting married on New Year's Eve this year. So, all the best to them. They're getting in getting married on New Year's Eve this year. Yeah. So, all the best to them. They're getting in the middle of New Year's Eve in Northern Canada.
Starting point is 00:24:09 They were like, yeah, it's going to be like minus 30 or 40 degrees or something, didn't they say? Crazy. And I was like, I can't comprehend that, but all the best to you guys. And it was random to just get seated next to some random tapas. Right. Yep. I've actually been surprised how many tapas we've met, like, on the street.
Starting point is 00:24:27 In the wild. Like, yeah, in the wild. That's a nice way of saying it. Yep. On the street sounds a bit like we're just cruising around, hoping to bump into people. I'm like, show me that water bottle. Is that a tarp one? But I've been surprised with how many people have, like,
Starting point is 00:24:41 bowed us up and been like, love the pod. Can I get a photo? It's been really, really cool. It's been really, really cool. It's been really nice. Oh, you know what? This is my saying from after we've done the meet and greets. When dot comrades become real life friends.
Starting point is 00:25:00 That's when dot comrades become real friends. That's amazing. Thank you for sharing that. That's a really good photo of us Yeah We should be eight drinks deep Every time we take a selfie I will die My love to see is from Peter
Starting point is 00:25:11 He shared this to us in Patreon Peter says I'm a train driver in Melbourne And in early July I had an accident at home Lost all vision in my left eye And spent a few days in hospital And had to have surgery
Starting point is 00:25:24 Have a few surgeries. And train driver, obviously need to be able to see. Awful. I was told I had six months to one year minimum of recovery, but there was no sure like indication that he would be able to see again. It was really hard. My mental health plummeted because life as I know it was going to change. Needed to find like a new job and was told like i would never drive again um i'd always joke around and say like oh just give me some glasses and i'll be all right um but the medical comedy was met with like yeah yeah like
Starting point is 00:25:56 glasses can't fix this yeah um i had my usual weekly checkups and at the last one he got a super relaxed doctor and when he made the joke about the glasses, he said, look, it can't hurt to try. Like, let's just give it a whack. Last week, what? And then did he try some glasses? And then he tried some glasses, nice. Luckily, this story's about to turn. Imagine if it didn't.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Imagine if it didn't. And then he died. Yeah. Oh, Peter, RIP. How do you send this to me? Rest in Peter. That sounds like a good idea. Let's give it a whack.
Starting point is 00:26:24 No. It's like a really great idea. I'm turned on by these medical ideas. So last week, I defied all odds, got the glasses, got cleared by a doctor, went to work and drove the fucking train. Start the fucking blog,
Starting point is 00:26:40 drive the fucking train. That's so good. The last few months have been so stressful and uncertain, really, really scary. But now I've got a pair of glasses and I'm back driving trains after four months of recovery instead of a year. That's huge. I thought you were going to say he'd tried everything and then between two pokey machines appeared a 4'11 masseuse
Starting point is 00:26:58 who was like, trust me, I'll get that vision back. He goes, and then I could see again. I saw Ryan with a menthol cigarette. I took the glasses back off. I was like, nah, this must be wrong. I just Ryan with a menthol cigarette. I took the glasses back off. I was like, no, this must be wrong. I just thought it's not worth it. This must be wrong. But, Peter, thank you for sharing that with us.
Starting point is 00:27:10 I love that people are – everyone's got their shit, gone through stuff, and, Peter, it's just really sick to see you coming out the other side. See ya. What I also love to see – I also wear glasses, so. I love when a doctor goes, like – like, it's actually easy to go, no, that doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:27:28 It's so easy to say that. Just going like, you know what? This is your life we're talking about. Let's fucking figure it out. Let's have a thing. Maybe we can't do it, but I'm not going to say we can't until I've, like, tried everything. So it's, yeah, pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:27:43 And sorry about being a victim of medical comedy as well. It's hard. Tomorrow on the show. Yep. I'm not going to say it's a flapped Tony edition, but there's something that you don't know about the Hollywood sign. And I reckon I don't think you'll like it. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Yeah. Great. But I think everyone, but it's actually, when you hear this story, I guarantee after you've heard this, you will tell it to other people, like, within the week because it'll be like, oh, did you know about this? Oh, I love facts. It's fact, fact. It is fact.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Yeah. And it is probably factual. Okay. Oh, great. Yeah. Love that. Yeah. Yep. Yeah. And it is probably factual. Okay. Oh, great. Yeah. Love that. Yeah. Nah.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Yeah. Yep. Yep. Great. All right. We'll see you tomorrow. Love you. Bye.
