Welcome to the podcast. My name's Tony. I'm with Ryan John Dunn. We're calling Emily from Turalgon, which is out in Gippsland in Victoria. Yep, it's down the road from us. Out near the yogurt in Gippsland, isn't it? And I've got a fun fact for Emily. Ooh. Well, it's fun for me. It's probably boring for everyone else. Hello?

Emily, it's Tony and Ryan. Hi, Emily. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Hello. Hi, Emily. Is it correct that you are in Tarelgon? Yes. The first ever radio station that I ever was allowed on the radio was TRFN. Seriously? Yep. That's what I have tuned in my car. Well, you're welcome. Thanks for listening

to our podcast, by the way. I was about to make fun of you and Emily's like, oh, well, I'm on the other line with them now. I'm trying to win a $50 gift card. I'd love a $50 gift card. Ryan will get you one. Yeah, Emily, $50 coming your way, babe. Send us your PayPal details. We'll send you $50.

At the Star Bar in Tarelgan. There you go. Get yourself a steak and some hot chips. All right. Yeah, $50 is coming your way. Will you approve this podcast, Emily? I'm so fucking weekly, I will. Yeah. You're finally giving me $50.

Mate, there's not a lot I would do for $50. Oh, I would have done it for free. Yeah. I would have done it for free. That's very good. Hey, this is Emily from Tarelgan in Victoria, and I approve this podcast. Welcome to the podcast.

There's going to be a TARP wedding next weekend. Franco, our video guy, is getting married. Yes, very exciting. But he's done something to me a week out from his wedding, which, let me just put it this way. If he did it to you, you would be fucking... I would have grown extra wings to flap them. Yeah. Or you would have been calling me and being like,

is this what he means? Yeah. Ooh. Okay. Okay. And it's a word of advice for anyone else getting married about what you should and should not do with guests leading up to the big day.

Oh. But first. Don't do anal with your guests before you're married. Well, it's your last chance. What else are you going to do on the Bucks day? Go home? All right, normal or nah? Brushing your teeth before bed.

Matt Thomas says, my wife and I never do, but we just started watching The Circle on Netflix and everyone on the show seems to be doing it. Why are they doing that? That's so weird. Or are we the weird ones? Has this come from our Facebook group? Yep.

Okay. Who's going to tell him? Also, just backing in, are we the weird ones? Yeah. Yep. It's normal to brush your teeth before bed. Can you look down the barrel of the camera and tell Matt? Matt, it's normal to brush your teeth before bed.

This has been a highly contentious topic on this podcast many times. Yes, about whether you should brush your teeth, not whether you should brush your teeth before bed, but brushing them in the shower. And remember when I said that I brush my teeth at night time and it made me really dehydrated? Yeah. Does that happen to anybody else?

We talked about that a lot of times. I think that with brushing, if in doubt, brush them. Yeah. You know, I think you can't overbrush, can you? You actually can't. you can't overbrush, can you? You actually can't. You can't overbrush. Like if the option was to brush them three times a day or none, you're probably going three.

Three, yeah. Some people do after every meal. Yeah, I had to do that early in my Invisalign because it was like getting stuck in the little like egg things. But we've discussed how and where. I don't think we've ever discussed. When? Oh, but like I just saw that and was like.

Surely that's quite clear. We're past this, right? Yeah. We're past this, right? And also like you brush your teeth in the morning and you brush your teeth before bed. Isn't that just like a classic like children's like. Like they were saying that on fucking Sesame Street and shit.

Like that's not new information. Well, maybe Matt didn't watch enough Sesame Street as a child. Matt, why not? My wife and I never do. Why are these weirdos on Netflix brushing their teeth before bed? I feel weird if I jump into bed without brushing my teeth and having a shower. If I jump into bed and haven't brushed my teeth and I'm like facing Bridget,

I'll get like a little tap on the shoulder and go, hey, can you go brush your teeth? And I go, oh, sorry. Because like she knows. She's like, no, not tonight, mate. Why don't you get in the bathroom and try again? Is that just for if you're trying to have sex with her or just in general? Oh, just in general.

Yeah, right. Oh, mate, if I was trying to have sex with her. No, general? Oh, just in general. Yeah, right. Oh, mate, if I was trying to have sex with her. No, you just said, why don't you go in there and try again? I was like, then try to have sex with me again. I don't know, like try again to hygiene yourself in the bathroom because you haven't done a good enough job. Hakeem says, I don't mind eating ass, but the idea of touching my ass on the toilet seat in a public toilet, absolutely fucking not.

Please tell me it's normal to never sit on, only squat above, a public toilet. Nah. I need to go to the bathroom too often to be worrying about shit like that. I don't have the leg strength to squat every time I wee. I just don't. I'm not afraid to say it. And if you did one squat every time you peed, you would be Beyonce.

Yeah, literally. I'm so close. I'm one wee away. Hang on. So what I want to know from Hakeem is what does eating ass have to do with that? I was just about to say, thanks for just throwing in a fucking red herring. I think what he's saying is I'm not like a crazy germaphobe. No, I love to eat pizza, but I would not hit someone with my car.

Like what is, like, they just could not be more different. You see what I'm saying? Yeah, no, I see what you're saying, but I think it's to trying to say like I'm not? Yeah, I see what you're saying. But I think it's trying to say, like, I'm not a jerk. Like, I'm... But... I think they're more related than the pizza and the car crash. Slightly.

Not a lot, but slightly. But, like, eating up... And I've been married 45 years. The toilet seat! But I think... And that's why I'm back for Hawthorne. But do you know what I mean? Like, I'm just kind of, I'm a bit lost on the connection.

Well, if you were an ultra germy person, like scared of germs. Then just say, I'm not a germaphobe, but I... As an example, I would eat ass. I'm not that scared of germs because who fucking knows? You know what I mean? Like, in terms of the germaphobe scale. Yeah. You see what I'm saying though?

You do. Yeah. Yeah. Do you see what I'm saying? I do. But I think that, and I'm not a germaphobe. I'm not a homophobe. I'm not a phobophobe.

Are you an ass eater? I'm an ass eater. We've all done it. We should be proud to toss the salad. You know what I'm saying? But what I will say is that I just don't really understand the connection, but really appreciate the info, Hakeem. Thank you so much.

Normal or Nah asks Sam, lightly stalking your neighbours via the public record. The public record? What's that? When I was house hunting, I got in the habit of preemptively investigating the neighbours of the houses I was interested in. Just public information like who's lived there, are there adjoining houses, are there multiple people or families within the house, and what's been posted publicly on their social media. Just that kind of stuff.

I don't want to end up living next door to some nut job. Well, neither do they, so I wouldn't buy the house. That's, um, ugh. I would suggest the term light stalking and via the public record is also a bit of a mismatch. Yeah. Because there ain't nothing light about calling the council and being like. I didn't even know that was a thing.

Can I get the file on number seven eucalyptus drive? Just, you know. I didn't even know that that was thing. Can I get the file on number seven, eucalyptus drive? Just, you know. I didn't even know that that was a thing that you could look at. But in terms of lightly stalking in general, Tony. I've definitely, this is probably back in the day when Facebook was more of a thing. I feel like Facebook's not really. It's on its way. It's plateaued.

Yeah. But I think back in the day, I probably would have done a cheeky Facebook stalk of someone if I needed to or if I was about to meet them or, like, have you ever been about to go in for a job interview or something and you go, oh, your interview today is with Chris Smith and you go, oh, okay, I might just have a look at Chris Smith who works at fucking NAB or whatever. Like, I don't know.

Or the model Chris Smith that married Damien O'Neill because they're conducting interviews today. He is at NAB. Yeah. But you know what? Like I feel like that kind of thing I would have done in the past, but now it's hard to stalk people because most people use like Instagram predominantly and you don't have to use your real name.

Yeah, it makes it harder. So it's harder to actually get a good look. But I don't think that I would be looking at the public record. So often at uni, everyone has like a little name, we just call it placard. That's cute. Is it just like cardboard or? Yeah, or like a thick paper.

Yeah. Yeah. Thick paper. Thick paper. Like cardboard. And so it's like folded and it's got a little university emblem and just your name print. So the teacher can go, when your hand's up, Ryan, you've got to.

God, you love getting stuff personalised, eh? You're going to walk in here with a personalised little laptop next week. I will have you know I actually don't have the placard because I never went and collected it. And I have put stickers over the top of the name on my suitcase. But thank you for asking. When someone asks a question. Ryan comes in next week and he's got, like,

Ryan shaved into the side of his head. Wouldn't that look good on me? Yeah. Okay. When someone asks a question, I go, oh, I wonder what they do. And I look them up on LinkedIn. Oh, really? But on LinkedIn it literally says, like, Ryan, John has looked at your profile, oh, I wonder what they do. And I look them up on LinkedIn. Oh, really? But on LinkedIn it literally says, like,

Brian, John has looked at your profile. Yeah, I don't like that. Because I don't want them to know, but they obviously will. Well, they do know, yeah. But then I kind of go, because especially when people do in their MBA, I'm like, oh, what's your background? What are you doing? And that's fair enough, but why don't you just ask them in the break?

Instead of being a, like, how many of you in the class? So this one's like 60 or 80 or something like that. But, like, so if you were interested in what someone was – I'm interested in every single one of them. Then why don't you talk to people? I do. But you – But I can't say hi to 60 people on day one.

You know, like, by the end of the class I would have eventually, you know, had dinner with or met and – because, you know, you meet over time. But if there's a group of four, sure. And I know what everyone in my like little syndicate group does. But if someone's on the other side of the lecture theatre, I'm like, oh, what's that fucking thing? Yeah, that is fair enough actually. You know, someone added me on LinkedIn the other day

and they had LinkedIn premium. What do you think about that? That's a fucking scam, isn't it? I get automated messages from them all the time, like try Premium for a month or whatever. Yeah, it's your last chance until we message you tomorrow. Well, if you have Premium, it doesn't say that you looked at their profile.

You can actually change it in your settings because mine comes up like someone has looked at your profile because of the settings I changed in mine. I'm actually available for a LinkedIn call, $7.99. Anybody that wants to know how to do that, I can show you. Just to finish off Sam stalking people. Oh, sorry. She said, I actually do nothing with this information

beyond giving my partner the hot goss. I can't stop. Yeah, see, that is fun. I can't stop and I won't stop, but I'm not sure if I should feel ashamed or something. I mean, if you're not using it for evil, should feel ashamed or something. I mean, if you're not using it for evil,

if you're using it to make like a, like, informed decision of an area that you might buy a house in, because if you're buying it, that's like you're buying it for good. Yeah, but I feel like the term, given my partner the hot goss, doesn't sound like a decision-making energy. Yeah, it doesn't. It sounds like you'll fucking not believe what this asshole next door is doing. Yeah, and as if them sharing a recipe from Recipe Teen Eats on their Facebook

really actually gives you an insight into whether they're going to be a good neighbour or not. If someone was sharing recipes, I'm like, we're going to move in and we're going to be smelling beauty. That's a good sign, actually. Yeah, you'll buy that house for sure. Sam, keep doing it. Keep doing it, Sam. We're on board. Wearing pregnancy clothes years after being pregnant, comments Jennifer.

Normal or nah? Absolutely fucking normal. They're comfy as fuck. Wear whatever you like. I may or may not have worn Bridget's extra comfy tracky pants that have a stretchier elastic. And they have the really high. Yeah, because Bridget and I's bellies when I breathe out

aren't that different. When you breathe out. Even though she's 32, 33 weeks pregnant. So that's a normal for me. Normal or nah? Cheersing food all the time, asks Katie. Cheersing food? So you know how you cheers a drink?

Yeah. Oh, cheers. Every meal, Katie will cheers the food. So imagine if we had pizza together and you pick up a slice. We pick up a slice and go cheers. Just like tap the pizza before we take our first bite. Every time I sit down to eat, regardless of what it is, I cheers my partner with the food that we're eating.

It's really normal to me and I want to know if it's normal for everyone else. Katie, do people cancel plans with you a lot? Are people saying, yeah, let's go out for dinner and then they don't come back? We only go out for dinner with them once. Yeah. We should do this again, should we? Yeah, that sounds like a high admin. Look, you know me, i'm a sucker for cute

shit yeah i love stuff that's fun i'm very enthusiastic but that sounds like a pain in the ass also don't touch me with your food don't touch my food don't touch your foot like i'm not into that but you will later yeah but i mean i'm a woman. Yeah, that's enough for me. I like the cuteness of it once. Yeah, but not fucking. Like, oh, cheers. Oh, it's like, where's the drink? But it's food.

Yeah. But then you go, fuck, Katie's hard work, isn't she? Do you want to go out to baby pizza? No. No, because every slice you fucking, you're getting a workout. Yeah. Putting it in and out. Nah, that's enough for me.

I get it, kind of, but that would piss me off. So there you go, Katie. Thanks for commenting through. Hey, this is Emily from Tarelgan in Victoria and you are listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon.

Kimberley Majors. Kimberley Miners. Pete Rodriguez, Vianna, Jordan Stewart, Briley Morgan and Heather Shelley. Speaking of, was it Vianna? Yeah, Vianna. Did you see some of the canals in Vienna are dried up? No. Because you know how the world's fucked and there's floods and fires and all sorts of shit?

Oh, yeah. So the water levels are so low in Vienna that some of the boats are just sitting there on the mud. Do you mean Venice? Yeah. What was I saying? Vienna, but it's Vienna. Where's Vienna? That's in Switzerland.

No, Vienna's, yeah, Austria. Okay, that's not Venice. You're talking about Venice? In Italy? The boat one. Yeah. Where in the movie where they steal stuff. Oh.

The movie where they steal stuff. The Italian Job. The Italian Job. Oh, Italy. That makes sense. No, but the first scene is. Oh, you know that movie, The The Austrian Job where they're in Vienna? They drop the water down to fuck it. They drop the safe into the water and they steal it underwater.

I love The Austrian Job. That's such a good film. I'll give you a fucking Austrian Job if you keep this up. Anyway, just a fun fact from me. Oh, it was very fun. I liked it. Hey, I fucking hate it here. Dang, what am I talking about?

Venice. What was that movie in Venice with... There's a Spider-Man movie based in Venice. The Tourist with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie. Oh, I haven't seen that. It's like they've got two beautiful looking people, a beautiful backdrop and just going, why would we bother with the script? We've got two beautiful looking people, a beautiful backdrop and just going, why would we bother with the script?

We've got all the goody. That's really funny from you. That's very funny. Why would we bother with the script? I mean, if you watch it, it's not like I've made that up. You watch it and go, you're right. They have forgotten to write. That's not a joke.

That's just a plane of fact. They have not cared about plot here. They're just going, oh, she's good looking, he's good looking. It's a beautiful place. That'll do, I reckon. Yeah. And, I mean, Vienna, I've heard is lovely that time of year. Fucking.

If you get in, all right. Yep. If you get invited to a wedding a week or two from the event, how do you feel about that? Honoured. Yep. Honoured. Honoured.

So I couldn't believe that someone would consider me in their time of celebration. First of all, you're so full of shit because Tony is all about a pecking order. And let me describe this. So obviously if you get invited to a wedding a week or two out, I think it's a fair assumption to go a few RSVPs, someone couldn't make it, someone's got COVID, whatever.

Oh, well, I've got 120 seats. You know, oh, what about old mate? Great. And to be fair, I've been invited to Alana and Robbie's wedding probably 48 hours out. Yeah. And they texted me and go, do you want to come? And I went, who got COVID?

And they went, oh, Uncle John. And Uncle John turned out to be a pretty good uncle. So he was like sitting like they were close relationship. So you got a good spot. Really good. And they're obviously not going to like let's rejig the whole plan. They just go, put Ryan and Bridget and Uncle John and Auntie Shirley spot. And we were sitting right up the front and everyone's like,

who the fuck are they? And Bridget never met either of them. That's quite funny. So I like, to be fair, like I get it. It is what it is. And great. I'm actually not doing anything next Friday. Let's have a great time.

Yeah. But Tony Lodge is a pecking order person. For instance, when I told you that Bridget was pregnant. Yeah. So you and Bridget told me in person. Yep. Yep. And within about four seconds, you were sniffing out to figure out how many people we'd told first.

Like, where am I? Who have you told? I want to know how important I am. Is this true? I can't recall. So you go, oh, that's wonderful. Who have you told though? Who knows?

Did you tell them before me? Or have you not told them? So I'm more important than them? And so I feel like similar, if you got a call up a week or two out, you'd go, oh, okay, sure. I see how it is. Wouldn't you? I'd probably.

You can be honoured and fucked up at the same time. See, that's the thing. I think you can do both. I feel like it would be one of those things where I'd go, oh, we didn't make the first round. But we were on the initial list. Yeah. Because when you're, I imagine, like it's the same

as when you're planning a birthday party as a kid and stuff. Your mum says you can invite 10 people and you write 20 people down and you go, all right, like now we've got to work backwards. Yeah. If you've made that first 20 before like other 10 get cut. I should take that. I think that's still pretty good. So Franco, who clips our videos, part of the Tony and Ryan team,

was part of Jason PJ, who you used to work for, and sort of has been a part of the online community for a while. The ecosystem. The ecosystem. He's getting married next weekend. Yay! Congratulations, Franco. He and his partner Jess, they've been together forever.

Yeah. Such a long time. They met on Tinder. Did they? It's like a beautiful love story. That is a beautiful love story. A modern day love story. It isn't it.

So I got invited to his wedding last week. Yeah. Yeah. Last week he calls me and goes, oh, would you like to come to the wedding? And I go, oh, yeah, of course I would. But yeah, okay. Well, I mean, so I was there. Like I didn't organise this.

Ryan and I were together and Franco called you on the phone and you put it on speaker because that's like something that you do. And so I was kind of like, should I leave? Sometimes I think it's rude when someone else is on the phone. I get that. I totally get that. Yeah, it is a bit weird, especially when you know the other person. Well, I thought it was a work call.

Yeah. So I was like, oh, Tony's here. What's up? Yeah. And he goes, oh, actually it's – I mean, you heard it. He actually did. Oh, I'm sorry it's so late notice. I would just be really honoured if you and Bridget would come

to the wedding next week. And in fairness, like I just want everybody to know what actually happened. Ryan, you had like a bit of a, like your eyes went a bit, like you looked really stoked that he'd like invited you. And Franco, you did. You looked really, really happy. And Franco said, mate, like I just, you know, I'm very awkward. I've wanted to invite you for a while, but I felt bad that it was late.

And he was like, so that made me wait even longer and get more awkward, which I know very well. Yeah, the longer you wait, the worse it gets. But you feel like putting it off makes it easier. Yeah. And he was like, we'd love to have you there and whatever. And I think that you even made a joke like, oh, a few RSVPs falling through. And he was like, yeah, a lot of my family actually can't come

because they're really far away or a bit older, so they can't travel because COVID and stuff. So, like, it's actually Franco's not going to have that much of his family there, which is, you know, which is you would hate to be like a ring in for his family that can't be there and then not go, you know, which is just heartbreaking for Franco. Well, it is next weekend. It's a 12-hour drive, which with a week's notice is a lot.

So you're getting one plane and then a train? I'm flying to Sydney, which is like an hour, and then the train to Wollongong is like 45 minutes or an hour. Yeah, so two hours. A couple of days travel, yeah. A couple of days travel. Yeah, so it's a big job. A couple of days travel to Vienna maybe, but.

Don't encourage that by clapping. It's like two hours. It's actually probably the trip to get to Wollongong is less than the round trip of you to get from home to work and back again. To get to Wollongong one way to be a family member at Franco's wedding. So let's just park that story there because there's two combining stories here.

And you know that, let's just keep in mind the later you leave it, the worse it gets. Oh, totally, yeah. Three months ago you said, hey, has anyone organised Bridget a baby shower? Do you remember when you came and said that? Yeah. And I was like, oh, Bridget probably wouldn't want that.

But, I mean, good question. So my mate Lockie and his wife Zoe have a restaurant. And I called Lock and said, hey, mate, don't really want a baby shower, baby shower, but any chance I can book the whole restaurant out and have some people around? Because it's Bridget's birthday this week as well. So I was like, oh, birthday, baby shower, whatever. Can we just book out your whole restaurant?

Oh, a slash. Don't like a slash? A birthday slash baby shower. I mean, it's both for her. Shouldn't she get two things? You can't take her out for dinner twice? I think it's like she doesn't really want a baby shower, so it's like, well, we can tick that box off.

So I go, Locke, can we book out your whole restaurant for a day? And he goes, yeah. The only so he's come back to me. We can book it all out. We'll cook everything on the menu and just bring out plates and do a whole thing. It's going to be a big party. The only day we can do

though is the weekend. The same day. As do, though, is the weekend. The same day. As Franco's wedding. So that's Saturday night? It's in the Arvo, like an afternoon sort of thing. But it's the actual same day? Might be the Sunday.

Oh. No, probably Saturday. Oh, well, if it's a different day, then that sounds fine. No, I think it's probably on Saturday then. But I guess what I'm getting at is you had the idea and you're obviously busy. I had the idea three months ago that I offered to organise and you were like, she doesn't want that.

Yeah. Well, would you like to come to the baby shower? I also gave you my tickets to Lorde and said, because I couldn't go to Lorde because of Franco's wedding, so I cancelled plans to go to Franco's wedding, which you obviously can't seem to do. So you can't go to Lorde, you're not going to Franco's wedding and you've organised a different other event for the same night instead of doing either of the two things that you were supposed to do.

Well, I haven't. I actually still can go to, I'm still going to Lorde. It's the next day. It's Sunday. Oh, so you can go, so you could go to Franco's wedding. No, because I'm to Lorde. It's the next day. It's Sunday. Oh, so you could go to Franco's wedding. No, because I'm at Lorde. I actually just felt bad that you can't make the baby shower after you instantly, like you kind of were the one

who started this thought. Well, so the reason that I offered was because I was like, oh, I don't know if anyone would have thought to organise something. I hope that you told Bridget that that was my idea months ago. I said everyone thinks it's great except Tony, she's a bitch. Oh, well, yeah, unfortunately I won't be able to. I actually would be able to go to Bridget's baby shower

on the Sunday afternoon if you didn't force me to stay in Sydney and go to Lorde, which is costing me a fortune, by the way. So, I mean, this is a story from like two years ago. Tony couldn't go to Lorde because she had the wedding. Because Franco, I got invited to Franco's wedding. And I was like, it's the same night as Lorde in Melbourne. I bought great tickets. I like sat on the Ticketek website for like an hour trying to get them.

So I, being the good friends I am, was like, hey, while you're up in Sydney, she's doing a show two nights later, I'll buy you tickets to Sydney and Lorde. And, oh, does any good deed go unpunished? Because Tony's like, well, now I have to stay in Sydney. Now I have to catch a train. Now I have to book a hotel. Now I have to break up with Torps. Every excuse in the world, every bad thing,

I'm going to have to get rid of the Audi. It's like someone does a good thing and gets you Lorde tickets and it's just suddenly it's a big hassle. Well, it is a hassle because now I have to stay in Sydney. But I would love to go to Bridget's baby shower actually, but I won't be able to go to Lord as well. So what would you prefer? Well, I've already made the booking for the restaurant and I knew I couldn't go.

Yeah. So I won't be able to attend the wedding. Of course not. As if you were going to go anyway. Well, Bridget can't travel at the moment the wedding. Of course not. As if you were going to go anyway. Well, Bridget can't travel at the moment. Yeah. Because she, yeah.

So I think that was a bit off the cards. And I think this is probably a chat we should have had off air. You know how we're doing a few trips at the moment? For work, yeah. Sort of like cutting it a bit fine. I was the one that said you shouldn't still be traveling. Yeah, I know. I know. I'm just, yeah, I know. You can't use that against me. I'm not using that said you shouldn't still be travelling Yeah, I know, I know I just You can't use that against me

I'm not using it against you I'm just pointing out a fact Actually, what I'm saying is You're right, Tony I am cutting this one Shocker, shocker, shocker Have you told Franco this privately? No

Okay, because he cuts our podcast So you can't No, this is it Okay, because he cuts our podcast, so you can't. No, this is it. This is the RSVP. No, no. Yeah, this is it. You have to call him. I'll call him and say the audio is in the folder. You never do that, so I don't think that you will.

So here's the outcome. Bridget having a baby shower. Yeah. Tony will not be able to attend. Yeah. Franco having a wedding. I will not be able to attend. Franco having a wedding, I will not be able to attend. Someone is going to get asked to Franco's wedding with three days' notice and they were like not even the plan B, they're going to be the plan C.

Should we tell them they're the plan C? Maybe it'll just be like so our producer Cam and I, we're going. Maybe we'll just get a whole table to ourselves. Maybe you should jump on Grindr when you get up to Wollongong and find a date. Way ahead of you. producer cam and i we're going maybe we'll just get a whole table to ourselves could we maybe you just jump on grinder when you get up to wollongong and find a date way ahead of you consider it done um okay i might so we're all up to date uh-huh who's the winner here not franco poor guy's gonna have no family at his wedding i actually know who the winner here? Not Franco. Poor guy. He's going to have no family at his wedding. I actually know who the winner here is.

It's Lorde. Is it? She's getting some of us in Melbourne. She's getting some of us in Sydney. Yeah. A couple of different days. We're travelling for her. Yeah.

Given that we're a team, you and I, I feel like, yeah, there's a representative of us at Lorde in Melbourne, at Bridget's baby shower, at Franco's wedding, at Lorde in Sydney. Maybe this is just the only way that we could make it work that some of us was everywhere. Praise the Lorde. Nice. L-O-R-D-E, obviously.

I've got to love to see it too. Maybe, you know. Make yourself not sound like an arsehole. Is that how this has come across? Sorry, a little bit editorial from me. Yeah. Have a listen to this news story about this Japanese guy. A young man from Japan is making his way from the bottom

to the top of Australia on a scooter. As Sophie Walsh discovered, the meaning behind his ambitious trip is earning him a lot of fans along the way. He's going from the bottom of Melbourne, the bottom of Australia, which is Melbourne, to the top of Queensland on a scooter. Yeah, is it to like raise money for his university or is it to raise

money for something? I don't think it was money, but it was like a personal challenge because he's like relying on the kindness of strangers to like, he's staying at people's houses and he's like, I believe you should do what makes you happy. Challenges make me happy. I like just the sense of accomplishment in doing something.

And they interviewed him and he seems like the most happy-go-lucky dude ever. And then they interviewed this lady who's in Albury-Wodonga. And she's like, yeah, I heard he was coming to town. So I reached out and he stayed with me for a night and I cooked him a big dinner. And then in the morning, got him breakfast and filled his drink bottle and was like, good on you, mate. Like, all the best. That is, I love that people are being kind. Yeah.

But I would just be scared of the people that maybe aren't so kind and, you know, like, you'd be scared. Yeah. Like, that you weren't going to either make it to the next town or run out of water or whatever. Yeah, honestly. And it's not an electric one either. Like, just a little razor scooter.

Yeah. But, I mean, good for you for making the challenge, I guess. That's actually a part of my love to see it, but not the whole thing. Okay. My first you love to see it is the fact that his ankles are intact. Because, Tony, as you know, people who ride scooters have a tendency to fall off the scooter. How many ankles do you reckon you've rolled in the last six months? Oh, not only scooter related, but probably about five.

Yeah, and the same ankle each time? Yep. Every time it's the left one. Because I fell over walking out of work the other day. I did it again. Yeah. Fuck. Yeah, and I like grazed up on my leg and stuff.

Like, I'm just a clumsy bitch. And my second you'll have to see with this is, I love to see that he didn't leave his scooter at Vic Gardens. Yeah, luckily. And I love to see that some punk youth has stolen his scooter between Melbourne and the top of Queensland. Is it your scooter? Actually, I take it all back.

Melbourne to Queensland on your scooter that he... Scooter, as Sophie Walsh discovered. Let me rewatch the tape. The meaning behind his ambitious trip is earning him a lot of fans along the way. Also, how funny is it when newsreaders try to, like, talk about the cool kids? Yeah.

And he's having such a great time. I love Hitchy. They say life is a journey, not a destination. And for Rooney, this is so much more than getting from A to B. I mean, they're really hammered up, aren't they? They have, yeah. No, I can confirm now that I've watched a bit more, it is not my scooter.

Not your scooter. Good news. Good news. My love to see it is also someone taking on a challenge. Lenina Brunettinaton from our Facebook group. Brunetti Shlamada. Yes. I've wanted to do figure skating for years.

She's from Venice. I've been wanting to do figure skating for years and never dared. And a month ago, I said, fuck it, and started. I bought some ice skates and got on the ice. I've got many bruises and really sore feet, but it's so much fun and I've started lessons. I suck, but I can only get better or more bruised. And she started, like, an Instagram account.

A skater girl. Yeah, so it's called Liana on Ice, which is very funny. That's cute. And, yeah, she's just like you know what i know that i'm not the best on there but i'm fucking having a go and as someone who has only very recently began my hashtag wet for life journey you fucking love to see that you fucking love to see people like taking a chance and just like doing something just because you go you know what i've always wanted to do this. Like, love that. Do you have any Liana Bruzelins from your ex flicks? I do, actually.

I've got a fucking big one on my leg at the moment. Yeah. But worth it. Worth it. Worth it. I do love to see that. The bruises remind me of the smiles. Wow.

That was beautiful. That was beautiful. Is there like one of those like no pain, no pleasure, no... No pain, no gain? Yeah, maybe that's it. Risk it for the biscuit type thing? Yeah. But I thought that was lovely.

So look at that. A couple of you love to see is about the... You love to see it's about the challenges people are taking. Oh, God. Do we need a break? I'm overcome with emotion. Yeah, let's take a sip of water. Let's go cheers our lunch and come back tomorrow for the video show.

Cheers our lunch! Tomorrow on the show, I've hit a new low. And I said in the Facebook group if you share to me like with me your new lows to the tapas then I'll share mine okay
