What was our version of 6-7 when we were kids? Carol said... Yeah, that's a great one. Should we? No. Hi, I'm Felicia from Saul, Sweden. Hi, my name is Rachel, and I'm from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I'm Selena from her, from Denmark.

And I have released this podcast. Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. This is Dr. Best-Selling Dr. Author, Tony Lodge. She has, in fact, written a podcast. book and she's a doctor because she ticked doctor instead of miss on her Maya one gift card. Not a gift card. Loyalty card. Yeah.

And it's still doctor to this day. On the Maya one card. When was the last time you went to Maya? Oh my God. I'm so sorry. I thought I saw someone falling, but I think it was a bird. I just had the biggest panic. Sorry.

I just saw something fall down. So we're in an apartment, so we're a few levels up and you just. Yeah, sorry, that just really caught me by surprise. Yep, and you're Ryan. And you're not a bird guy? Not a bird guy. Yep. Sorry, that's really distracted me.

Like a full-grown human just falling. Well, that's what I thought it was, but it was just a bird or maybe litter or something. Do you know what I want to know about Europe is how? Where is the Eiffel Tower? I can see it. It's just there. How often do you reckon people are getting their coats stock? stolen from like a cloak room or like off a little hook because we're playing pretty fast and loose

where we're putting our coats. You walk into a restaurant. Someone takes it. You don't know where. Sometimes just put on a random hook and you just hope for the best. Like is it just an honor system? Like you just wouldn't fuck with someone's coat or a coat's going missing, do you reckon? That is a great question.

Please let us know in the episode. What do you reckon? I think it might. Well, if they were going missing regularly, people wouldn't be. so willy-nilly with just throwing them over somewhere. Like, do you reckon it happens to everyone once? Less. Less.

I reckon less than 12% of Europeans have had a coat stolen. Can you see if there's any data on that, Charles? Because less than 12% just sounds great, doesn't it? I just reckon that if you saw a nice one, you'd be like, yoink. That's what I think. Or even people grabbing the wrong one. Like, you might not do it on purpose, but you go, oh, two Unicloat coats. But that's what I think about the barrette,

The baggage carousel. Oh, yeah, there needs to be more security. But it clearly doesn't because people just take the right stuff and it's usually fine. Yeah, true. And there's a lot more valuable stuff floating around there than a coat. And I reckon as well, the thing about my suitcase is that there's not a lot of stuff in there that's actually valuable, but it's valuable to me because it's my clothes. So it could have a coat in there.

But like, I don't have any really expensive stuff, but it's more just that like all of it together. Is that like, fuck, that would just be the biggest fuck around? Charles? So in London, specifically, it's rising at the moment. The status jacket is what they're calling it. Sorry? The status jacket about thefts and it's rising by 56% to over 10,000 incidents in a six-month period between 2023 to 2024.

And then the EU as a whole, people who have reported it to police, it's increased to 4.8%. Increased by 4.8% Sorry. To what? It doesn't. It doesn't use a total. Yeah.

That's an epidemic. So were you, the first time we walk into a place and they just go, Chuck your coat, you kind of go. I went, oh. Oh. And then what? Oh. Do I know you?

Well, yeah, because it's so foreign to me. To a waiter. Who the fuck are you? No, this is mine. Get your own. But because it's so foreign to it. The concept of handing a code over, because in Australia, we either. don't wear them or if you do you take it off and just like put on the back of your chair or whatever

but because people have got like coat gloves scarf or whatever it's too bulky to hang on to so you hang it up and just like leave it with the goodwill of the world when we had lunch in Stockholm the other day that was beautiful um they're one of the waiters said love the podcast yeah he said i'm such a big long time fan ilman thank you very much i don't want to speak ill of ilman Elman Was he just playing the long coat game? He's showing at my coat. Someone turns up.

Oh, love the show, mate. Oh, no worries. I can I take your jacket? Sure. He doesn't even work there. He's name's not Ilman. It's healthy. Girl.

From Facebook and Reddit comments, I've seen a trend that's happening in a lot of bars and clubs more than like restaurants and like stuff. So, but because to me. theft there has to be malintent i wonder if at a bar you just wasted you go yeah oh how many black coats could there be in a lot and you just get the wrong one i reckon a club is like a younger drunker crowd the more willing willing to steal oh see the top comment on this thread is to be fair i think the majority are drunken mistakes okay there you go that's what i said yep yep so i wonder yeah i'm wondering because you would report it because you'd be like someone's all my job

it. You wouldn't probably assume the best of someone and go they've taken it by accident. And how would you get that back to someone? Like, there would be no way of, I guess you could take it back to the bar and... Yeah, I mean, that's probably the literal least you could do. Yeah. And if there was someone's like, wallet in it or whatever, you'd have a name you could find. Do you remember when I lost my car keys in Richmond?

I just lost my keys. Gone. So I went to the police station and was like... This is crazy. Have you had any keys been handed in? The guy goes, yeah, heaps pulls out this like huge container and just said, are they any of these? 20. And I could have just gone, yeah, to those three and he would have gone, cool.

Yeah, I'll take the Porsche keys. You just walk around Richmond, dinging it and hope for the best. Yeah. And they go, oh, your car was stolen. I had the keys. Yeah. Prove that in the court of law, bitch. Sorry.

I saw an ad for Boston legal. She's all jacked up. Someone shared an internet meme into the Tony and Ryan Facebook group. I love that for us. And it said, Hey, Millenials. Hey.

What was our version of six, seven when we were kids? When we were younger. Sorry, activates the child in the room. Yeah. Every time you say six seven, it just happens.

When a trend makes it to Facebook. It's already too late. It's already over. Yeah. The six-seven thing, it looks like juggling boobs. Is that what it's supposed to be? I thought it was like six or seven. Yeah, but it looks like, oh, boobies.

To me. You do the six-seven and then you do a self-boob juggle. Now, which was which? Yeah, you don't know. It's hard to say. It's hard in general after that. Thank you. I'm a pretty good kisser.

That's what we're hearing. Yeah. So when I mentioned this the other day, I said, Tony, someone's put this in the group. You went, I know what it is. I'm going to save yours. Oh. We're going to go through a few of other types and see if they have the same as you.

Okay. And also our version of 6-7, very loose interpretation of what the fuck that even really means. I don't think it means anything, though, isn't it? Oh, no, as in like our version, like, is of like a viral thing. Our version of a saying, our version of. Yep, yep, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, a lot of iterations. Yeah.

Tammy Hobson said. Hi, Tammy. Our version is, Waza! Well, Tammy, same. Oh, really? That's literally, look, I've written that here. Was that happened.

Oh, damn it. Well, you and Tammy? Like that. That's her and that's me. Yeah. That's amazing. That's what I thought straight away because we said that. Yeah.

Every day. And I don't disagree. Yeah. Like, what was that from? Like a Pepsi commercial or something? I think it was a Doritos or maybe, yeah, like a classic Super Bowl. It was an ad. I was going to say it was some scary movie, but no, they did it in that, but I'm pretty sure it was from an ad.

Yeah, it was. It was from a Budweiser beer ad. Oh. And they're in the basement. They call them each other. Yeah. Yeah. Jocelyn McMurray.

Hi, Jocelyn. Jocelyn's a pretty name. Isn't it? Would you go, would you go Joss? Joss. Jozza or Lini, Lynn, Jossie, Josie Loss. Oh, sorry. She said our version of 6-7 was The Game,

where if you think about it, you lose, and sorry to everyone listening, you just lost. I never really was in on that wave. Nah. And now even when people go, oh, you lost the game, I'm just like, ugh. Like, it's not for me.

Yeah. Yeah. And I know that you and your friends do it, eh? Tony thinks of the game as she thinks of avocados No I like avocados more Sorry

Dahlia And she said May he rest in peace But our 6-7 Was Chuck Norris jokes Oh my God Yeah If your mum doesn't have a beard

You've got two moms But Chuck Norris has a beard And he's everyone's mom or whatever That was the thing. Like beard humor and Chuck Norris humor. Yeah. That's not it at all. Do you know what our 6-7 was?

Mustache tattoos on your finger. Do you remember that? Hang on. I think we need it. Memes. Your definition of a Chuck Norris joke. Yeah, like the mum, the beards. You're thinking of mum beard jokes.

Oh, what's that? Not a Chuck. Norris one. What's the Chuck Norris stroke? Oh, we did this on the pod, I think, at one point. Like, oh, he's got two fists and he grows a beard so that there's a third fist under there and stuff. Yes, that's a one.

No, but that was a beard one. Charles is Googling it. You do one. Read just a Chuck Norris joke and then we'll see if we can figure out what is the Chuck Norris jokes from the examples. And there was one like, oh, have you ever? seen a dinosaur and Chuck Norris in the same room. No, that's because he ate them all.

You know. Charles? This website isn't the best and I don't, maybe it is. Time waits for no man unless that man is Chuck Norris. No, that's about it. When God said let there be light, Chuck Norris said, say please. Oh. Who is Chuck Norris?

Do you know, I don't know who it is. And why did we give him so much credit and value in our jokes? Oh, they're all bad. Well, yeah. You guys haven't mentioned this on the podcast before. And you spoke about exactly this conversation. The beard, the mums. Exactly bearded mums.

You're joking. Oh, so I've always fucked it up. Oh, I'm consistent. When Chuck Norris swims, he doesn't get wet. The water gets chubes. Chuck Norris. Oh, no. Terrible.

Bless you. Oh, Chuck Norris doesn't sneeze. Sneezes Chuck Norris. Ghosts sit around campfires and tell Chuck Norris stories. No, I'm over it. There's got to be another one. The other one that you said on the podcast, you said the swimming one. And then the other one was when Chuck Norris was born, he drove his mom home from the hospital.

That's funny. Oh, you're such a boy. That's such a boy thing. Carol Evelyn. Hi, Carol. Not to be confused with Jocelyn. No. But I feel like Jocelyn and Erin.

Jocelyn, Evelyn and Jocelyn are the same. Yeah. Both are like a lavender color. Mm. Mm. She said planking. Yeah, that's a great one. Should we?

Nope. Nope. Wouldn't it be funny if there was just a quick edit in the YouTube episode and suddenly we were planking and suddenly we weren't? Wouldn't that be great? It would, yeah. Do you remember with planking that like all those people got fired from their jobs for like planking at work and posting it online?

Really? Yeah, like people were like planking on the top of something. in a construction side. Yeah, or like, like I remember one specifically, they were plunking in like a Dick Smith or a J.B. High-Fi or something like that and they like got fired because they then posted that on Facebook.

Remember Dick Smith Electronics? R-I.P. They were Chuck Norris of non-JBs. Do you know another one that I reckon? Another like millennial six-seven thing. Yeah. The S. The S.

The S. Well, We called it the Stussy S. Oh. I don't know what the real name is for. No, because the Superman one is like a, more like a diamond shape.

Oh, then what's the Stussy one? Do it know it's a proper name? We're talking about the same thing, like you do the three lines and then join them up or whatever. Yeah, that thing.

Yeah. The proper name is cool S. And it was a cool. That's the least cool thing I've ever heard. I used to write out my full name because I've got an S in my middle name. So I would write Tony Louise Lodge so that I could use the S. There's no S in Felicia.

Felicia. Felicia. I would write up my whole name so that I could use it. Amazing. Because I was just like, no, I want to use it. There's like cool girls called Sarah that just got to use it straight up, but I have to do my whole name. Don't Sarah, just get everything.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, so true. Finally, you wouldn't believe it, a different Jocelyn. Oh, no. Not Jocelyn McMurray. This is Jocelyn K. And she said the six, seven of our generation was your mum jokes. Yep.

Yeah, yep, they were good. And that it was like the most offensive thing would be to like call out someone's mom. Yeah. And I kind of agree. Yep. Where do you stand now on your mum jokes? I don't really care. Like obviously if someone said that to me, like it just, yeah.

I think back in the day. On the comedy scale. Oh, no, I'll rate it. Yeah. I think they're just so shit. Yeah. Like, oh, you're running light, your mom's so late. Like, that's good.

But that's good. Also, when Tony says you're running late, that sounds like a throwaway line, but that's actually the most offensive thing. Well, yeah. I find that offensive to run late. And I wouldn't personally do it. I try not to. Yeah.

But your mom runs late. You're so nice. Your mother is so nice. Should I drop that more to you? Do you want a your mum joke? Charles? No, but your mum is alive. Oh, so is yours.

One of them. One from two. Not bad. Can't like those odds. Yeah. I'm Selena from Helmutton, Denmark. My name is Rachel from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Hi, I'm Felicia from Saul, Sweden.

And you're listening to Tony Orion. A massive shout out to a few of you. about Champion Tappas over at our Patreon. Virginia. Oh, it's a funny one. Virginia Eaton. Touch me on the vagina. Yeah, that's good.

If you would like to come to Fiji with us, we would love to have me. And touch us on the Fagina. So if you're a champion Tapa, make sure that you tell us in 25 words or less,

what song you would add to the party party? Yeah, party. The Fiji Party podcast away. Playlist. Well, you would add to the playlist of my 25 words or less, and you could be coming with us to Fiji. You're okay? You did a weird breath then. It's because I just ate all of those pretzels and I am dry. Yeah. Do you want some warts?

I don't like that as a nickname for water because it sounds like warts. Do you want some water? Yeah. Yeah, have some. But like can you hear, now that you've heard. Yeah, I just, water just takes so long. I'm trying to save time. Have you ever had warts?

I have, yeah. I've had one wot and it was here on my knee. Like I only ever had, I never had them on my fingers or anything. Had one wart here on my knee and at school every day. Because you sit down, you cross-legged on the mat and whatever. I was like, I was so embarrassed of it. I think that one person wants, like, ew, warts I feel like dirty little puss. And I was like, so I would cover it up all the time.

Dirty little, I had them on my, my hands. And they get sore, right? So, bleed. And then I think I had one on the outside of a finger. And it, because it would touch my other finger, then I ended up having one on the other one. Oh, because they, like, multiply. Yeah. I got words.

They're multiplying. Lentrify. What's the words? You better shape up, who, who, who, because I got some words. I reckon I had. And they're spreading onto you. Because I got words You better understand

Do you remember when we told that story Well when we I told that story about how Apparently if you do your first we And you rub we on your war That was like a wives tale Do you remember that? That was the whole thing

And was it or did it work? I did it but I don't think it ever did anything Because I tried all sorts of stuff I got it frozen off with the doctors I did dry eyes a lot Dr. Pearson. I did. I was putting on some like ointments and then wrapping them in.

Oh, yeah, like gores. You would like have like mummy fingers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I tried all this stuff.

And then literally they just like went away one day after years. And I can't really remember what I was doing. But it just like. Is it an age thing? Like do you kind of get older and maybe whatever it is that they like is like is. Like you go through puberty. You get a few hormones and that kills them off or something. Yeah.

Did you ever have wards sharks? I didn't know. I just to pick at him and grab them. Oh, yeah. They'd get itchy and stuff. Yeah, I just like looked it up and it says most warts just go away by themselves after a few months or up to two years. Yeah.

Yeah, I just had the one on my knee, but I was always so embarrassed of it. Yeah. And I remember also as a kid having like a tiny skin tag just here on my arm. And one day I just kind of like went full Hulk and ripped it off. And it bled for days. Like it just like pissed with blood. But it's gone. Like never came back.

It was just there. Is that a scar from it? Nah. No, no, no. It's just where, like the crease in my arm. Yeah, okay, yeah. Yeah, thanks. You look horribly scar.

Nah, no, no, no, it's not. No, no, it's not. Terrible scar. Nah. Do you know what I reckon that the discoloration on my arms is, though, is where my psoriasis was. Yeah. Your skin looks amazing compared to, like. Yeah, because it was so awful.

Like, it was, it looked bad, but it was so painful. Yeah. And now it's like, yeah, it's crazy, eh? Hot slut. Anyway. for 2026. Thank you so much. So we are in Sweden at the moment.

Yep. Welcome. Hey. Ikea, you know, Vuffel Dagan. Yeah. Tomorrow's episode will be live in front of 500 Swedish tarppers. So watch along. Yeah.

Fun times ahead. It'll be like you're there in the room with us. A bit different. Obviously, you're a bit at home. Maybe a bit warmer. Yeah. Than in Sweden. Anyway, but we've been away for like, what, two weeks almost.

and it's the four of us away. So Ryan and I, obviously, Charles is here, Lily's here, because that's kind of who we needed to run all of the production stuff. It's just the four of us. And it's been great. We're staying in like an Airbnb together. Like, it's so fun. But I am really missing Torbs, missing the fam.

And when I'm like normally when I'm at home, our, like the way that we split like the household load, we're very. even like we both kind of do like a lot for each other it's definitely not like I do everything and he like we're both pretty even if anything he probably does more than me and so whenever I'm away I just feel a bit bad that I'm not there to like do your half do my half and help out and whatever but I always say like I'm really sorry he's like now we're ticking along fine and then when he goes away I tick along fine but you just still feel like a little bit guilty and I'm like oh but do you need me he's like of course I do

You know, it's very sweet. It's very sweet. And, but because of the time difference, we haven't really been able to, like, we have been texting here and there, but we can't chat on the phone every day because Torbs, like, works quite late as well. So we haven't been able to chat much, but the other day, um, he texts me and he goes, oh, hey, like, hope you have a great day today. Um, how's it all going?

Um, just want to let you know that the fucking kettle stopped working. The kettle? I know. The kettle. The kettle. You're joking me. I know. And I was like...

Are you still going to go home next week? I might not bother. Well, so this sounds... The kettle works fine here at the Airbnb stop. Yeah, I'll just fly him here. I have not had a broken kettle the whole time we've been here. That is true. But, okay, so a little bit of history on the kettle.

Please. No, and I know that, like, what a Tony Lodge thing to have fucking history about a kettle. But here we go. So, when Torbs... and I first started dating, he came for dinner at my sister's house one night, flat family dinner, and we're in the kitchen afterwards doing the dishes, and he goes, fuck, that's a nice one, about my sister's kettle. And she had this like Breville Smart kettle that had all these buttons on it where it heats up

to the temperature, so it doesn't just boil, you can set it, and you can hit a button that says stay warm, so it kind of keeps it warm. So if you boil it and then leave it, like, I mean, how many years ago was this? Oh, well, we've been together for what, like 12 years? I didn't even know that technology existed now. Yeah, it's crazy. So your sister was ahead of the times on kettle game. Oh, my God. What can't she do?

Yeah. She's got her master's, so she's pretty well educated. Anyway, so he goes, fuck, that's a nice kettle. And I was like, yeah, it's fancy. And he goes, yeah, because whenever you do green tea, it just burns. And I went, so true. And there's like the lowest boil setting on this kettle is for green tea. Anyway, so when we started doing... Sorry.

As everyone listening and watching, I didn't realize today that I'd be learning so much. I didn't know that. Dr. Torbs. So you need to have a lower level for the green tea. You're supposed to because it's like. So I've been burning my green tea, my whole fucking life.

It's like more delicate. Like, but then black tea needs like a full boil. But green tea is often more delicate. That makes so much sense. Yeah. And because you can drink it faster as well because it's not as hard. Yeah.

Anyway. So when we started doing the. the podcast because we'd never ever like I'd never earn great money and I was like you know what one of the first things that I'd do if I'm ever earning like any more money than I was in radio I was like I'm going to buy torbs that kettle well while we're here in Sweden you should walk down to Spotify yeah who were based here apparently and go thanks for the brevel dogs thanks for the brevill smart kettle yeah without you guys just say thank you so much but so this is like five years ago because it was when we started the pod and um i yeah we bought this kettle we've had it and

we go through fucking hot water and tea like there's no fucking tomorrow so five years now for an appliance is actually not so bad yeah um anyway whatever it's died it's death it's fine torlips goes hey the kettle's fucked i'm just because it was an important you know piece of law for us is there like what kettle do you want me to get instead because i'm going to replace it And I go, oh, no, just the same one. Unless there's like a newer version, I just want the same one. It's a great fucking kettle. I like all the heat settings.

Like, we don't need to go into a whole thing. If you were going to change kettles, that's not a flippant decision you make in a different time zone to one another. No, so true. If we are going to change kettles. This is a in person. Let's sit down and have cold water. Yeah. And discuss what our priorities are.

Yeah. Where do we see us with the kettle in five years? What does our future look like? What are our values? We're about to get married. You know, this would bring out a lot in a relationship. And then you take all of that knowledge and go to your local Harvey Norman.

Yeah. And you go, you know what? Here's where we're at. Here's our non-negotiables. Our kettle non-negotiables. And he just flings a text and goes, oh, by the way.

And I think because he was like, oh, I'll probably just buy the same one. Is that okay? And I was like, actually so fine. And I look it up and it's like, I think that when we first got it,

it was like $250. It's like fucking expensive kettle. The Rolls Royce of kettles. But I looked it up and it was $200 now. Like, because it's like an older fucking model order. Anyway, and I just set him a screenshot.

I go, yeah, it's $200. Like, just get that. Anyway, I kind of forgot all about it. A few days past.

We finally managed to catch up on the phone. And he goes, oh, by the way, like I grabbed that kettle after work the other night. And I was like, oh, fuck, awesome. Yeah.

Like, was it all good? You know. lots going on at home. And I go, oh, it was all good. And he goes, yeah, and like, 250 bucks, like pretty good. And I went, 250, fuck. Oh, sorry.

I thought it was 200. He goes, oh, it was 200. And then, oh, yeah, like, you know, the extended warranty. Oh. Oh. And I go, oh, sorry, we must have a bad connection. It sounds like you just said you bought extended warranty. For a kettle.

For anything. it's a scam Extended warranty is a scam How so? What do you mean? Extended warranty is a scam In Australia you are protected by the ACC better than any fake extended warranty

could ever protect you No, our Australian consumer laws are so fucking airtight Like you are fully protected To a certain point No, there is you, anything that they offer you is less than legally what they have to provide anyway There is actual lawsuits in it. There's a class action lawsuit in Australia right now

against a lot of big companies because they were selling people extended warranties that weren't any better than what legally they have to offer you. So you are covered for free and then you just pay them and basically they just go thanks. And that's just an extra pool of money. And they're... What do they claim the extra to be?

Well, they say like, well, you get... And there's an automatic... say there's an automatic one-year guarantee, and then if you buy the extended warranty, you get three years instead, right? But the A-Triple-C already has to protect you for five years, or it's like they do a straight replacement for three years, and they'll repair it after five, or something like that. So we have, and this is not the same for everywhere, but in Australia, extended warranty is genuinely, genuinely a scam.

Oh, my God. You've, wow. That's, I can't believe you didn't know that. Yeah. But it's crazy. And he goes, oh, yeah, I'm the extended warranty. I was like, are you fucking joking me? We're about to get married.

And you're telling me that you're someone that buys an extended warranty. What are you, an idiot? An extended warranty being 20% of the original price is a wild ratio. Yep. So if you go and, say you go and drop five grand on a new TV. Yeah. The extended warranty is between. 11 and 23% of that or whatever.

It's a scam. It's a full on fucking scam. And this is not hot take Tony Energy. This is genuinely... It feels like hot take Tony Energy. No, no. It's genuinely a scam. It's commissions.

That's how the people make commissions in the store is from extended warranties. So the guy at the store is getting a kickback. So it's like a KPI. They'll be like, oh, the X amount of extended warranties like per day or week or a quarter or whatever. I'm... I'm not fucking you. Genuinely, it is a scam.

Oh my God. And you think you're getting this great deal because they go, do you want the extended warranty? So if you push back and kind of go, oh, so what's that cover? Or what's the A triple C cover? No,

but most people wouldn't even know to ask that. But that's educate us. But if you ask the first question, you said, what does that cover? They go, oh, well, after a year,

you can get a replacement. After three years, we'll still repair it. And you'd go, fuck, that's a pretty good deal. And so you would say like, Oh,

Oh, so if I don't get this extended warranty and it breaks in 18 months, are you saying you won't replace it? Yeah, well, if you ask them that, they might say, oh, we won't. But by law, even if, say you buy it from Harvey Norman, as you suggested, Harvey Norman might not replace it. But then if you called Breville, someone has to do something because you have to be protected and they have like minimum standards that they have to meet. And then I would say that like in Australia to operate as a like a consumer facing brand,

you'd probably have to have less than an amount of like complaints per year. Or they would say like your goods are actually not up to standard because X amount of people have had to return. Like I would say that there's probably like a ratio you have to meet before you can sell directly to consumers in Australia. You reckon? Yeah, I do. because I think that if they were getting more and more complaints, I think they would go, we have to do an inquiry because we're letting you sell to Australians

that are spending their money and trusting your brand, but like it's bullshit. Okay, three things have really surprised me about this. Yeah. First of all, the biggest shock to me is that the A-T-T-C does fucking anything. Okay. Because aren't they the most useless government department in our country? Second of all,

Oh, we keep an eye on fucking petrol prices. Oh, they go up every Easter when people need to drive more. Oh, it's just a coincidence for 20 fucking years in a row. I actually don't think so. Yeah, no, that's probably fair. Did you hear there's like fines for that company about the influences and stuff? Fines for that company. Because they didn't disclose it was a paid partnership and the brand that was like,

don't say it's a paid partnership. No. And they've been fined. Yeah. And they should. Yeah. And guess when that happened three years ago. And everyone's like, a quick one.

Yeah. Quick one for those guys. Oh, you could turn around. Yeah. Oh, okay. So my first surprise is that. Okay. Uh, my second surprise is,

I know you're a passionate person with lots of things that you are passionate about and you like to support. I don't think I've ever seen you so adamant and worked up about any other topic in my entire life. I'm well versed in consumer law. Than this topic. I was very articulate just then. I've surprised even myself. Yeah. I know how passionate you are about straws that actually fucking work.

Yeah, no, I am. But I haven't heard the conviction in your voice when talking about boost juice. No, that's true. I know. Jane doesn't deserve that. No. And I like seeing the passion come from you. Thank you.

Maybe it's the water of Scandinavia that just brings the passion to lodge. Maybe. Maybe that's what it is. Maybe it's the thought of a kettle, something so beautiful, being just, treat it in this way. Third, the contradiction and conflict between the number one passion in your life

and the number one man in your life, they're at odds. Because you're so anti-long warranty. Extended warranty. It's different to a long warranty. And you're so pro-torbs. Yeah. So, what is?

you're going to do? Well, I literally was like, sorry, it sounds like we've got a bad connection. It sounds like you just said that you bought extended warranty. And he goes, yeah, like the guy just said, oh, and did you want the extended warranty? And he goes, well, seeing as the kettle just stopped working, I thought, well, now's the right time. And I said, well, no, because the A triple C will protect you much longer than an extended warranty. Did the A triple C protect you from the one that just died? Well, no, because five years felt like the right. If it had been bought it six months ago, I'd be like, well, we should do something about that. But.

And do you know another thing that they don't want you to fucking know is that the second that you enter a complaint in is actually when the timer stops? Because lots of people go, oh, I said at the two years and nine month mark, I said there was something wrong. But then the three years elapsed in the time it took to organize the thing or the refund. The timer stops when you do the first complaint, not when it comes full circle. Not when it actually breaks. That's how they try to throw the idiots off.

Lots of people think that. They go, well, it's two years and nine months. Like, there's no point. There is a point. Because as long as you call them before that three years or six years or whatever, you got to call them. You got to call them. You got to call them.

You got to fucking call them. Because otherwise, they keep winning. This is the whole thing. They get to sleep in their fucking fat cat sauna beds. And we, like the idiot, We don't try and get our fucking refund. Those old fat cat sauna beds. And we don't get our refund and then we're buying a kettle from fucking Kmart.

When I watched Succession, I was like, look at these rich people in their fat cat sauna beds. And that is true. Can he take just the extended warranty back? No. Why not? You can take stuff back? Imagine if you go back in there and you go, I've just found out this is a scam. I'd like you to refund my 4750, please.

Why? Surely you could. Why would you not do that? Yeah. If Torbs hears this. I want anybody watching. Fuck anybody. I want your husband to do this.

I'll fuck anybody. As long as they're called Ryan Jonathan Dunn and they're a kisser. One out of them too. We're sure. If Torbs wants to marry you, he needs to prove that your values are aligned and one of your main values is not wasting money on bogus, scammy extended warranties. he should take that back and they go, how's the kettle? He goes, the kettle's fine.

I'm not bringing the kettle back. I'm bringing back the extended warranty. Yeah, oh, so you might have to send back your fat cat saw on a bed because you're going to have to repay that commission, big dog. You've blown it wide open. I have. If he doesn't do that, don't marry him until he's taking that back.

Yeah, no, that's good advice. That's really good advice. When can I check in with you to see where he's at with the refund? Do you want me to do? it when we get back. Because if you're passionate about it, and this is what teams and best friends do. No, it's true.

If you're passionate about it, then I'm passionate about it. I appreciate it. Because I back you up. Even though just then you were just so flawed by how much I cared slash knew about this. Yeah. And now, well,

I'm following you in. And I think that anyone worthy of marrying Tony Lodge should be committed to what you're committed to. It is a real misalignment of values. I will give you that. Is there a warranty on the warranty? You know what? I reckon they'd try to fucking sell it to you.

Cause they want that fat cat sauna bed. And they go, you know what? Oh, what if we did another warranty? They're just... It's fucked. It's so fucked. And the worst thing is, is that they know it's a scam because they know what the A triple C will do for you.

Why? When did you first get, well versed in the A triple C. Like, when did this begin? I have been familiar with the benefits of Australian consumer law since I was probably 15 or 16. And why is that? I think it happens when someone in your family or your home cares about these kinds of things. Then you go, you're right.

What an injustice. And so I would say it's a learned behaviour. I would say that it's, what's that thing when hereditary? It's hereditary. It's part of the lodge magic. And would you say of the traits you have got from is majority positive? Majority negative, I would say.

But this one? This one I think holds up. But if you know that person, you go, that checks out. Checks out. And it does check out. When you said that, I went, Yeah. Yeah.

That kind of person. Yeah. Sometimes. Would. Yeah. But so I like, please tell me that you're on my side. Like who buys extended warranty?

It's currently a Wednesday. Hang on. What? Okay. So I have bought extended warranty for my laptop and my phone, but it's different because Apple, it's a no questions ask one. So like the A triple C,

if I spill water on my laptop, that's my fault. And they wouldn't replace that where Apple, I could spend $1,000. What if I spilt water in my kettle? A different thing. I mean, that should work, I guess. You'd hope. Yeah.

Well, not the mild one anymore. So that's where I'm with it. Is it different? No, that's fair. But the same way that insurance is different. Like if I spilled water on my laptop, my home insurance would cover me getting a new laptop. Really? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. Like, whether I'm at home or whether I'm traveling, my, my ring. covered for anything like they'll just give us the cash. Will they? How much? Whatever it's worth. I'd hate to lose it. Can I tell you something fucked about insurance companies?

Yeah. We might not leave it in, but yes. Once I had my laptop stolen when I was overseas. You're joking. Was it a Tashiba? It was back in the day, so it was probably something like that. Or an AISS? No.

No, it was that era, though. It was, um... Adele opticplex. I reckon it was a Tashiba. You were doing all right. I had a Tashiba. Tashiba's been great. No, Tashabas were mean.

Do they still make them? Yeah, they do. What about a Dell Chromebook, whatever they call now? Yeah, they still make Chromebooks. So it gets stolen overseas. That's fucked. Like in your backpack or just like swiped off the thing? I was in my bag, yeah.

Oh. And I went to claim it on insurance. that I had paid for in case anything was stolen. Like travel insurance or whatever. Yeah, and I included like whatever. That's big for you. That's not really. Oh, maybe this is the villain origin story.

Yeah, maybe. But, or maybe because I was young, like I was 18 or something. So I got to do this. Great. And then there's this line in the insurance policy and it goes, it's up to you to make sure you don't leave it in a place where it could get stolen. Sure. Like you have to like due diligence needs to be applied

Yeah but like where did you draw the line there Yeah And because they said oh it was stolen That's proof that you didn't Oh Because Well no that is quite literally saying Asking for it which no

No well they're like Well if it did get stolen Then you clearly didn't leave it in a place Where it couldn't Because it Oh that makes me sick You should have called A triple C I reckon they would help you out

I got some friends over at the A triple C Yeah Do we have any typers that work for the A triple C? But basically they were like, so I said, well, if it's covered for theft, but there's no theft where you didn't have it unthieved, then that. But what if it was like locked in your house? It was. And someone broke in.

How on earth can you determine that that was? Well, he obviously wasn't good enough because they stole it. Oh. And so I was like, so you're saying. Who the fuck was it? We're going to name them and shame them. So I said. said, can you give me an example?

And they were like, no, that's not our job to tell you examples. Because like, we're just saying that in your situation. And I was like, so there's no situation. So you're down a Tashiba and no help. Well, they're basically charging you money for theft insurance and saying, we don't cover theft. And I think maybe that's where I went, you know what? Fuck you. I want to get insurance next time because why would you fucking bother?

Yeah. That's fucked. That's fucked. That is fucked. That's fucked. That's fucked. How good is the A. Oh my God.

And they will protect you. This is not from big A. Triple C, by the way, but genuinely, there is a class action lawsuit against big extended warranty at the moment in Australia for the past like 10 years.

It is currently a Wednesday. I think in two Wednesdays time, I'm going to ask you, where's Torbs out with taking that warranty back? And even if the answer is, we tried and you can't return it, Hey, we just need an answer.

It is what it is. At least we tried. At least it shows that he's gone, okay, I'm taking on this new information and I've done something and because we know they'll fuck you. Of course it's not refundable. How much do you wish though we were in the right time zone right now and we could just call them up and be like, hey, like, can I get an exchange on my extended warranty? We can't obviously because of the time.

Maybe we start a separate podcast feed where we just call places and ask about. I ask if we can get a refund on an extended warranty. Or just we just blow scams wide open I mean it's already happened Because it's a class action No but this is where we're doing the phone calls Yeah and we're doing the stuff Yeah

I'll get the detective done on it What you thought was a story about a kettle Is actually something so much larger And it really is a metaphor for life isn't it If you can't even pour yourself a cup of tea Without it getting scammed in this world What can you do? What can you do?

That's a real question we should be asking I've got to you love to see it to bring us back a little bit. It's from Katie Smiley. And doesn't that just set you right up for about what she is about to say? Okay. My love to see it is milky bars. 10 out of 10 chocolate, it just fucking slaps.

May I yes and this? Please. You got to do the milky bar with the cookies in it. Like the, you know? Like the little side shoot, like a... Yeah, I think it's not the official. one because I'm not a big fan of white chocolate on its own, but the milky bar with the cookies in it is so yummy. Why did milky bars become synonymous with the fun size? Like you don't

just see someone just gripping a full-sized milky bar. Do you know what I'm about to say to you, which is crazy? You're thinking of a milky way. What's a milky way? You're thinking of a milky way. What's a milky bar? A milky bar is the white chocolate. Like the milky bars are on me. You're thinking of a milky way. Oh. I know you so well that I knew exactly what you were talking about. That's not a milky way. No, babe, that's a milky bar. They are better with cookies in them.

Thank you so much. A milky way with cookies in it would be terrible. A milky way without cookies in it would be terrible. A milky bar without it is bad. Someone just put some chocolate in me and send me back to bed. I know you. Tell me you all love to see it and then do that. Yep.

That I knew that you meant a Milky Bar. Okay, hang on. Fucking hell. Milky Way. I'm going to think of a chocolate bar. Yep. A classic Ozzy one. Yep.

Yep. And you're going to tell me what I'm thinking of. Crunchy. Knew it straight away. It was written all over your face. It was written all over your face. What about this face says crunchy? Everything.

Everything. I'm going to get after this a crunchy. I don't think you are. Do they're not crunch in this country? Nah, in this country. No, no, that's, that's odd specific. Maybe in New Zealand, but not here. I'm going to go to the...

The 7-Elevens in Sweden are amazing. You could get that maribou chocolate. That's so yummy. I'm going to get some form of chocolate. I'm then going to, like, cut it with a knife into chunks. And then I'm going to get a hot chocolate and put the chunks in the top and just give a really chunky hot chocolate and then lay in bed this afternoon. Okay.

And it's going to be one of the great afternoons of my life. And I'm going to lay there knowing that I haven't bought an extended warranty on anything in quite some time. You can rest easy if you're not a fucking idiot. That's the thing. That's the crazy thing. I've got a lot of days. Put him two Wednesdays. Find out how that went.
