Starting point is 00:00:00 One of the rules of the podcast is that we don't do pranks. Pranks, no. But I think that I've been pranked. In this economy. I'm sitting there like going ballistic. You are, like, where is the camera? Like, you are pranking me. Like, I'm being pranked.
Starting point is 00:00:17 What you experience sounds excruciating. And I'm with you. That's... Thank you. On the other hand, though... Hi, I'm Chloe from... South Wales, UK. This is Sharon, come to you from five hours south of Chicago.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Hi, I'm Bonnie from Sydney, Australia, and I approve this podcast. I've scratched my face. Heaven forbid a show doesn't start on a good note. Tony scratched her face and she's accused me. of having my iPad upside down, which, spoiler alert, it's a fucking, what's the word that means it doesn't fucking matter? Ambidextrous. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:01:08 Yeah. I think, though, it's just so funny that what I can see and like what the camera can see is the charging port and like the upside down Apple. Like, that's why it's funny to me is that I can see the, yeah. Well, then it's harder to read. The comedy of that not flicking. around is better than anything that I could ever predict it. That's frustratingly good.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Today we're talking about weird rules you had as parents and it's going to be hard for me to read them out. This is a really tough one for me. As you know, I've got lying parent trauma. Weird rules you had as a parent. Tony's parents that had a rule that even though we spent money buying an air conditioner, you're not allowed to use the air conditioner. And then what happens?
Starting point is 00:01:58 The air conditioner seizes up. and then what happens we're getting trouble for never using it well why do we bloody have it if no one ever uses it you said we weren't allowed to turn it on I remember turning the aircon on once right and literally then it was just like oh I guess I'll shut all the doors like it was like you just couldn't win like it was they were so old school it was to say like we never had a dishwasher because it was like we've got four perfectly good kids I can wash the dishes you know it's interesting you mention that because I don't want to skip ahead uh the dishwasher and having what parents said were perfectly good hands is actually a common
Starting point is 00:02:36 theme in this thread in the Tony and Ryan Facebook group. And people referring to people's hands as dishwashers. Yeah. You've got two perfectly good dishwashers on the end of each arm. Yeah. Why do I need a deal? One on the end of each arm. That's interesting. Well, let's unpack that. Oh my God. You could get a lot. Actually, fair. If you've got two hands on the end of each arm, you probably get heaps of dishes done. You know? Fastly faster. Actually fair, yeah. But I reckon that that's a classic of like,
Starting point is 00:03:05 especially back in the day when we, when dishwashers weren't that efficient and they probably weren't that good. Like, they're so good now and they use less water than like, then you would to fill up the sting and stuff. I don't know if I believe that, but they say that. They say lots of stuff. There's conspiracy adjacent, but I don't believe it. It's easy to claim that a dishwasher doesn't use as much water as it used to.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Easy to claim anything. Because you can't see in it. If it was so not using water, put glass on the front. Let me see it with my own fucking eyes. If you've got nothing to fucking hide. What are you trying to hide big dishwasher? Because you could do anything behind closed doors. So true.
Starting point is 00:03:45 When I was a teenager, I would close the door and go, no, I'm not jerking off the whole time. And I am doing my homework. What are you going to do? Yeah. Put glass on the door. Don't. Look through the window? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Don't. Yeah. Don't. Yeah. another one that my mom so my mom was really like anti-public transport when I was, yeah like we weren't allowed
Starting point is 00:04:06 to catch like the bus and train Is that hereditary? Oh, funny I do catch the train a lot and you know that you know that. Let's define a lot well I mean if I ever have to go to the city
Starting point is 00:04:22 or anything which isn't that often though when you went to the city to have dinner with my friends and I on the way weekend. Yeah. Oh, no, we did get an Uber actually. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Oh, but that was to Fitzroy. That wasn't the city. Yeah. Can't catch a train to Fitzroy. Can you? Yeah. Is there a train session there? Clifton Hill.
Starting point is 00:04:38 Good for them. Collingwood, yeah. Oh, yeah. Then I would have had to get an Uber from there anyway. No, but I enjoy, I'm happy to catch the train. No, but my mum was like anti it for like safety reasons. Yeah. Like so it was like, we, in fairness as well, in Perth, the public transport is shit.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Right. Especially it used to be. yeah um but so we weren't allowed to catch the bus or the train alone like with our friends or anything um didn't that all change when i moved to a new school and um oh be a bit easier if tony caught the bus on the train to school wouldn't it and we and mom and dad wouldn't have to wake up as early oh so i wasn't ever allowed to catch the bus and train for to go to carousel and hang out with my friends so then as soon as they needed it i was allowed to catch her isn't that funny.
Starting point is 00:05:25 Not on the weekends, though. You can catch it to school. So if I was just to like have a hierarchy of safety or hierarchy of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. That's funny. It seems like. I did child and family at school. If placed with the option of sleep in but child in danger or get up early and child who say your mom would have liked to have slept in.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Yeah. And I think because she was like, she was work. So she's like, well, I've got to get to work at the same time. And by the time I was like 15, I was like, the problem is not that I have to catch the bus to school. That's, it is what of the, I didn't love it, but it was fine. It's the contradiction. It was that, well, you've never let me do it.
Starting point is 00:06:15 But now that it's more suitable for everybody, that's fine. So that felt like a weird rule to me. How do you think your mom would. go now knowing that you're a frequent train user. Oh, your tune's changed now, hasn't it? But I'm like 30. So don't you think that she'd just be like, who cares? I know over the four and a half years that we've done this podcast,
Starting point is 00:06:37 a lot of times we've said if you got to have one more conversation with your mum, like would she be proud? That would be the first thing I'd ask. Would she just come back from the dead and go? I can't believe you're catching the train. Where are we out with trains? I cannot believe you're doing this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:51 All right. What were the weird rules your parents had? Mel White Stiles. Hi, my, hi, Mo. I'll tell you how I really feel.
Starting point is 00:07:00 Hi, Mel. Oh. Her name is Mole. Sorry. I should have read ahead. We weren't allowed to use the dishwasher. Oh, Mole.
Starting point is 00:07:10 Why waste water and power when God created perfectly good dishwashers on the end of our eyes? Is it about God did it? Yeah. Like, okay. Let's not blame her. Edgy. you believe god is a woman hi mattie maddie matty mattie maddie maddie maddie maddie maddie maddie maddie a second on maddie sorry no halloween in our house because my mum didn't believe in
Starting point is 00:07:38 witchcraft she's like witchcraft not here yeah no that's i reckon that'd be a pretty common one uh maddie might be from the USA gabriella cavallo okay we wouldn't wear clothes that have been ironed in our house because damp clothes give you arthritis okay is this just old wives tail energy though they have to spend two days in the airing cupboard before being worn people that live in the UK will know the airing cupboard is like where the gas boiler is so it's like
Starting point is 00:08:15 I was just about what's an air in cupboard but you know how like in rich as fuck houses now they'll be like they've got the shaky Oh no there's like the room and it's like just a little like it's an air drying room
Starting point is 00:08:26 Oh I've never even heard of that Yeah I thought you were going to say I know that this is a thing like in really high humidity places they've got those their closets like you can buy like smart closets now
Starting point is 00:08:42 and the things shake so that your clothes don't get mouldy and they have like a little vibration setting and every so often like The mold can't just, like, settle in. Well, yeah, because it's moving and whatever. Yeah, so back in the day, it's like the gas boilers in the cupboard, chuck your shit in there. So it's warm.
Starting point is 00:08:58 So it's got to go in there for two days. Two days. Oh, so it's in there with the hot water system. Yeah. So it's in there for two days. Yeah. And then, but I mean, if it was hanging next to a really hot thing, isn't that basically get an ironed anyway? Kind of.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Like, because it's hot and it's, it's like that trick of putting, if you're in a hotel and you put your shirt up or whatever. in the bathroom, in the, where the shower on. That's never worked for me. It's overrated. I don't, has that, does that work for you? Oh, I did it when we're in New York for the web is. For the web is? For the webis.
Starting point is 00:09:29 For the webis? I really fucking blew the room up because I turned the hot water on and then went and got a coffee and came back and it was like, we were living in a cloud on the fourth level. So I did that too, except I didn't leave. And because that was in the bathroom, it was whether you're on the shower wall. I think I've talked about this.
Starting point is 00:09:43 It was where the only mirror was. And so I'm in there trying to get my, do my hair. and my hair's just getting bigger and bigger and bigger because of all the humidity. And so I'm standing in there and I'm trying to like iron my jumpsuit. But I'm also trying to iron my hair. And it's just like I was not working. Charles had to go buy me a hairdryer. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Is there a target in the New York City? Yeah. Does anybody know if there's a wild greens nearby? Gabriella Cavallo says, I always knew this rule was ridiculous and would have screaming matches with my mom as a teenager because I wanted to, like, have iron clothes and go out. Who the fuck wants iron clothes? Who cares?
Starting point is 00:10:23 She wants to look, you know, just put together. Oh, do you know what I do for that? Well, I used to do this at school, because we had, like, during winter, there's a different uniform than summer. So in summer, you had, like, the dress, but then in winter, it was like, stockings, skirt, business shirt and tie and jumper and stuff. And your shirt had to be ironed. It was, like, part of the uniform.
Starting point is 00:10:45 But I used to just run the hair straight. straightener across the bottom part. Because that was only bit that showed. Yeah, that was poked out under the jumper. So, yeah, just the hair straightener on the bottom. Work smart and not hard a face. I think that Charles irons all of his clothes. So this is not relatable for him.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Do you really iron everything every day? I do. Mom always did it. I've just always done it. Yeah, he upholds a standard. But like a t-shirt, you'd iron a t-shirt. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:09 And your shorts and stuff? Yeah. How much time do you reckon you spend ironing in your life? Like, do you do it all on a Saturday or something? Yeah, yeah, I do it all on a Sunday. I like, we'll put on a TV show and just like... Prepairs for the weeks. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Yeah, I love it as like a self-care thing. It's not a self-care. It's an ironing thing. No, no, no, but it's totally like a... It's like part of your routine. It makes you feel good. I think it's great as... Doesn't make you feel good.
Starting point is 00:11:35 I actually now don't like wrinkle clothes, like on me personally because I think mum's always been like, no, yeah. But so as part of your weekly routine, I think that that does make make it a self-care thing because you go it makes me feel really good about myself the same way that like if you give yourself like a good blow dry at the beginning of the week like you wash your hair on a Sunday give you do your hair nice well what if you give yourself a great blow dry well if you do wouldn't that start your week right it does yeah um gabriala calvallo needs sorry for sharing my inner thoughts and feelings is everything all right about the blow dry
Starting point is 00:12:16 Would you, would you like a blow dry now? No, okay, thank you. This is going to fuck you right off. Great. No, because it's the contradiction, the same as your folks. Gabriela Calvallo says, with this no ironing rule in mind, Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:33 My mum is a boomer mum who ironed fucking everything, including tea towels, knickers, she ironed fucking everything. Yeah. This is the same mother who was like, we don't iron shit. it. So she'd iron the tablecloth. But then wouldn't iron the clothes?
Starting point is 00:12:55 Oh, I don't understand that at all. Yeah, so Gabrielle's like, what is it, Doug? Also, why are your clothes damp after you iron them? Because you don't have to use steam every, like, you don't always have to spray. Don't you? No, like you can just dry iron. Or maybe you couldn't back in the day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:16 You don't have to spray everything. Do you spray everything? I don't spray, but like there's water in the iron. Yeah. But like... And then I like click the steam, like I hold the steam bottom. Charles, medical question. It's not enough though to make all your clothes damp unless they really need a big iron.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Do you have arthritis? I don't. We've blown it wide open. Outlier. Tell Carvalo that her mom's wrong. My mum had a rule when I was in, oh, probably primary school, but definitely high, school if you call in sick like if you do a sickie on a Friday you don't go out that weekend oh yeah I think that's like social norm yeah so then it'd be like well I've got volleyball on
Starting point is 00:13:59 Saturday yeah obviously I'm not missing that yeah and so then on Friday you go do I have to turn up for maths for a couple of hours yeah is that fair play no I think that's fair and that's I reckon that's probably how I like still think about commitments like that if I was like oh I'm I'm really not well I probably shouldn't go to work to I'm not then going to tomorrow post on Instagram that I'm out with team or something like yeah like because I would probably be like oh well you'll fine yeah you know yeah or if someone cancelled on you and then they're out with someone else you'd be like oh well like a bit of a dick move yeah yeah I like a respect thing um but yeah and it makes you think like oh well so do I
Starting point is 00:14:46 carry that on with Mabel? Um. Is that like a good life rule? Well, I just think it probably makes you think like, oh, if you're just pulling a sickie, then you probably, like, you can't then go off gallivanting on the weekend. Yeah. Like, is it like just like not really good energy?
Starting point is 00:15:04 Yeah. Because then I think if you just go, oh, well, I just won't do that on the Friday. But then on the Saturday, I'm free to do what I want. Yeah. Keep up appearances. Yeah. Well, like, don't post the photo. to him next week.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Sure. That's a great high. Oh, are you doing that a lot? No. Oh, I'm nervous. I thought about that. No, I went to that. Hawks came on the weekend.
Starting point is 00:15:25 The Hawks played three months ago. Yeah, the football's not on at the moment. I'm sorry. Hi, I'm Chloe from South Wales, UK. Hi, guys, this is Sharon. Come to you five hours south of Chicago. Hi, I'm Bonnie from Sydney, Australia. You're listening to Tony and Ryan.
Starting point is 00:15:46 A massive shout-out to a few of our champion tarpers over at our Patreon. Inside our Patreon, we've got a whole bunch of stuff that we do. We just did a trivia might as a live stream for our champion tarpers. We also are starting to send out calendars soon. Oh, yeah. Which is very, very exciting stuff. Brooke, thank you very much for being part of it. Gracie, love to see it.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Ab's Sundblom. Love that for you. Savian Blom. Abseon Blanc. Miriam B, good on your Miz. Missy B. Taylor Mix. Delicious.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Oh, just a Taylor Mix. Just a party mix? No, Taylor Mix. Is that what you've got on Spotify? What's that? A Taylor Mix. Taylor Swift. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:16:34 That's very good. I was like, who's Taylor? Who else is she? Yeah. Michael Herndon, good on your Mikey. Do you drop a Mikey for a Michael? Is that a bit too friendly? Did he do it himself or are you doing that?
Starting point is 00:16:46 I've just done it. He's written Michael. If you were a Michael, would you be a Michael, a Mike? I'd definitely not cool enough to be a Mike. Mikey? I'm not cool. Like, because that's Teenage Ninja Turtles energy. What about a Mick?
Starting point is 00:16:59 God, no, I could never. I think I'd be a Michael. Because Michael Parsons gets a Mick. Oh, yeah. That's good. And he rocks it. I think a Mickey is, like, grown up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Yeah. Oh, it's a bit cheeky though, a Mick. Oh, Mick. I like Mickey. Oh. Like, I think Mickey's a really cool name for a boy. Do you have to be an Irish boxer, though? Who's that?
Starting point is 00:17:20 If I hear the word Mickey, I'm like, oh, he's obviously a boxer from Ireland. Mickey, so have you ever watched the movie Drop Dead Fred? No. It's like from the 80s, and I watched it as a kid. But in that, there's a little boy, and he's called Michael, but he goes by Mickey. And so whenever I hear me, that's all I can think of. And he's not a boxer. He's not a boxer.
Starting point is 00:17:42 He's a real sweetheart. Times are changing around here. Yeah. Oh, God. And life comes at you fast. Yeah, really does. Cooper Schwartz, good on you, Cooper. Jamie Anesia and Ali Schofield.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Absolutely love to say it. Thanks for joining us. So we don't have, I would say that we don't really have a lot of rules on this pod, but there are lots of rules of life that we've discussed. Yeah, like, never comment on a person being pregnant unless you can physically see a baby coming out of them. And even then, rule 1.5 is probably help. Don't say something.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Yeah, it's not just saying stuff. Don't, yeah, yep. I think we've ended up landing around like, seven to nine rules of life that we said we should probably get printed out so that we can remember them but we always come in pretty hot with a rule of life I don't even know if this is on the list but one of the rules of the podcast is that we don't do pranks pranks pranks no this is a safe space yep we don't want to worry that we're getting pranked or that we're about to be scared we don't do that we don't fuck with that because maybe we'll
Starting point is 00:18:38 poo because maybe we'll poo I think it also just increases the anxiety and no one really needs that we all got enough going on there's too much anxiety in this world to think you might get pranked in your workplace genuinely yes you know how on sometimes like carl and jackie o that you'll see them like in the basement like pranking them when they arrive to work i wouldn't go to work i have i've said this on the show before but when i because i worked in that company yeah well that company but in that building where karl and jackie o work like in sydney at kis i had to sign a waiver that if I got prank I wouldn't be upset and talk to HR
Starting point is 00:19:16 about it. I've said this on the show before. Did you complain to HR about the waiver? Well, as you've taught me, HR doesn't work for me. H.R. works for the business. So what were they going to do? They go, yep, you've got to sign that.
Starting point is 00:19:30 But so they literally made me sign this thing being like, yeah, I won't be a little bitch if I get pranked. And I just went, oh, okay, like, I had no idea. But like, what the fuck? That's fucked. Two things. Yeah. one, that's fucked up.
Starting point is 00:19:43 And two, should we get these guys to sign that? No, because we don't do pranks. We don't do pranks. And we don't fuck around. And I think that in life, since realizing, like, yeah, we aren't prank people, it's just become a bit of a thing. Life's got easier. Well, yeah, but also I've taken it out of the workplace.
Starting point is 00:20:02 I'm like, well, we don't do pranks. Yeah. And like with, you know, my other friends who are very few, but like with Tim, I'm like, oh, well, we don't do pranks. he's like so true we don't do that i think i need to take it out of i need to take it into my home life as well because i do pranks at home do you yeah oh i don't like that what's a prank you've done um well i'll do some little mistruths sometimes well a lie's different to a prank is it yeah but i get what's the context um give me hypothetical that happened uh we'll say like if i
Starting point is 00:20:39 have to get milk and I go oh prank they have to give us ice creams oh no I don't think that that's the same okay because it's not because if you fucking tell my wife this truth time we're done because we're bros this is between you and me between best friends yeah we're not after like go get the milk or go get the bread and I'll go oh there was a special on they had two magnums yeah no I don't think that's a prank because she benefits there actually isn't a special special. Yeah. I just make that up.
Starting point is 00:21:12 That's not a prank, though. I think prank is... I was like, oh, prank, we have to eat ice creams. Yeah. Yeah, yep. I see what he's saying. Thanks for coming to me with that concern. No, no, no, I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I was like, I live with snitches. Yeah. No, I'm not going to tell her. I texted her a cookie recipe before, but I'm not going to tell her about it. I live with snitches as well. No, but that's why we don't do. This is the whole thing. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:21:36 You get it. She gets it. Yeah, we all get it. And I think that it's like a safe space. So when I was out in public, I didn't expect to be pranked. Who are they? But I think that I've been pranked. In this economy.
Starting point is 00:21:58 I was out on the weekend. Just having a little coffee with my handsome boyfriend. And we're just sitting there. And there's, like, people around. Pranksters. There's a, well, little did I know. But yes. The people sitting on the table behind us,
Starting point is 00:22:18 I reckon they were two, I'd say like 40-ish. The worst kind. Like, so not, like, not super, like, young. Fucking old asshole. I'm fucking so off these people already. I'm on your side. No, I know you are.
Starting point is 00:22:34 I know you are. Where do they live? What are their names? Well, they probably live. near me because they were getting coffee at my local, which is just... On the good side of reservoir. Can you believe that these people live among us? I thought they'd be on the other side of reservoir.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Yeah, the bad side. So if you might know then. Yeah, how far were you from Broadway? And we're sitting there and it was, yeah, two blokes and they're probably about 40. Like pretty cool looking, pretty cool, like all good. Like didn't really think much of it. Smiled at them as we sat down. Little did we know that they were assassins among us.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Yeah. They were sitting behind us and Torbs and I were sitting there and we're having our coffee We've like ordered our breakfast Our food doesn't come yet Sorry was one of them wearing an eye patch One is clearly a villain
Starting point is 00:23:19 From a James Bond movie And they are chatting And like they're obviously talking about like Oh what are you doing this weekend One of them's like Oh this thing's on Just pranking guys you know And they're talking about like
Starting point is 00:23:33 Watching a movie or fucking something And then they kind of out Like Torbs and I our conversation like lulls a bit. Yeah. And I'm just listening to what they're saying. That's the best thing to do in a cafe. Of course.
Starting point is 00:23:43 Like, your people watching, your people listening. And one of them goes, oh, watch this great movie. And this guy goes, oh, what was it? And he goes, oh, oh, what's that movie where, oh, let me think of it. And they're both like genuinely having this conversation. What's that movie where they, like, go to sleep, but they can still do stuff? And I go, well, I know what movie that is. And they go, nah, you know, oh.
Starting point is 00:24:23 What movie is it? What's that bloody movie? And they're sitting there having this conversation. You know, they're on the plane and they go to sleep and then they can still do stuff. Oh, one of my favorites. It's Inception. And I'm sitting there. like was inception and he's like oh and then um and then the world turns and then um did you think
Starting point is 00:24:45 of helping them out i'm sitting there like going ballistic i'm like you are having like you are like where is the camera like you are pranking me like i'm being prank was one of them ashton kutcher yeah were you being puns they were sitting there having breakfast oh and then um oh oh the world turns and then um oh and then they go to sleep again and it's like blah and what's that and then what and then um oh and then you know what else are they bloody they sit down they're in europe somewhere i think and i'm like it's inception like yeah and then um then every time they put this stuff on they do this injection and then what is it's quite a big movie and the other guys
Starting point is 00:25:37 goes I don't know mate and he goes it's a big movie I think well it's long what is it what's that movie and I'm like it's in set like what are you doing how mad were you at this point I'm just like I'm looking at Tobs I'm like are you listening to this guy and was he like
Starting point is 00:25:54 it's clearly inception was he well I think he was maybe like just not really listening or maybe he's listening to who's behind him and I was like are you getting a load of these fuckheads and Todd's just like oh what And then he hears them go, and then the world turns.
Starting point is 00:26:11 And it's like, blah. And he goes, it's Inception. Yeah. And we're both sitting there just like having a fucking aneurysm. And I'm like, we're obviously being pranked. Because who has just recently watched Inception but doesn't know what the movie. Like we just, you know what it is. Like, you're obviously joking me.
Starting point is 00:26:29 And it's like, there's no way anyone's seen Inception and can't remember what's called. I've seen Kate. It's like the biggest movie. But I've seen Kate Hudson movies And there's like seven of them That they're all the same This one is not the same That's what I mean
Starting point is 00:26:43 They're easily interchangeable Oh you know the one Matt McConaughey's like a cool cruisy dude And he meets a girl And no Because there's 27 of those Narrow it down Yeah
Starting point is 00:26:53 But Inception is And you know how Inception Famously Has Leonardo Gabri up there He goes It's got Brad Pitt in it And I like
Starting point is 00:27:06 He's thinking of No, it's Astra to something. I don't know what you... What's that? You're pranking me now? Type in Brad Pitt, Astra. If it's not Inception, this is going to be the funniest thing ever. Ad Astra?
Starting point is 00:27:21 Yeah. I haven't seen that. No, your thing of Indistella. Nah. You're thinking of Indistella. But anyway, so these guys... I think you are doing the pranking now. No, and so these guys, right, and I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:27:37 it's insect like and at what point can you step in you you can't because then they know that I've been eavesdropping on them sounding like absolute morons for 10 minutes no you just go because you you pretend to be on their side you go that is great is it's inception right are you talking about inception how good is it that's great yeah yeah that's not what I did I just sat there and I was like you need like you need to figure this out like what are you talking about Crank territory for sure I'm Natalie and Brulia Yeah
Starting point is 00:28:10 About this Because I've got an itchy hand Charles can you Google that It means something about money Itchy itchy palm One is money coming in And one's money coming out
Starting point is 00:28:21 Google it This is An itchy left palm means money is coming your way While an itchy right palm means You'll be losing money Fuck mine's my right Yeah
Starting point is 00:28:32 And you know what it is The fucking martyr prize home lottery I keep seeing the ads and I bought about 80 tickets I just got a text from I got a ticket this morning I could fucking text this morning Saying last chance Say oh and that doesn't
Starting point is 00:28:44 That doesn't make a yeah You go oh well I don't want to miss out Here's where I'm torn Yeah Because what you experience sounds excruciating And I'm with you That's fucked up Thank you
Starting point is 00:28:54 On the other hand though I think we should take this show on the road You and I go around Melbourne with hidden cameras set up and we chat about stuff that's clearly something and the gag is is that we get to because Charles will have rigged it all up with the Gopros and stuff we'll get to see the other people sitting there going to inception now I don't what's that one where that guy has a day off and his name's a bit like the ride at the fair
Starting point is 00:29:31 yeah and they're in the red car and it's um The guy that's married to Carrie Bradshaw and the other guy ends up being in succession. I love Ferris Bueller's day off. Like, oh, spoilers. Yeah, but then the person sitting there goes, it's Ferris Bueller's. It's obviously her. And so the game is that they don't know they're a contestant on. This feels pranked adjacent.
Starting point is 00:29:53 No, but it's like a so shit. As someone who got stuck playing this game on the weekend. No, but it's like a sociology test because it's like, do you tell them? Do you tell them in a nice way? do you tell them in a dick way do you just let yourself get angry like it's an interesting human experiment because i think in my i probably would have said something not to be a dick but i would have been like oh you guys talking about inception like you're doing them a favor yeah and i think like because it was obviously like a casual setting yeah i wasn't going to turn around and be like can you
Starting point is 00:30:23 want you to think but i wasn't going to turn around and be like can you shut up it's it was just that i was like oh maybe you would offer no no no no no it wasn't like that at all it was just like, you are talking about probably one of the most famous movies ever made, especially in the last 20 years. Does it make it more annoying that it's more obvious? I think, because like what you were saying, if it's like, what's that rom-com with Matthew McConaughey in it, you go, oh, that could be anything. But they're like, what's the movie where they go to sleep, can still do stuff, the world
Starting point is 00:30:52 turns around, they sang the song in it. Like, you just, like, you just. couldn't have any more information without knowing the title. What if it also is not a movie? It's just something. Like, have you tried that stuff made of fruit? And someone goes, juice? You go, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Like, is that what you mean? My skin's a bit red because I got burned by that big thing in the sky. What's that called again? No, that's pranks. That's pranks. We can't do that. I think we need to rethink our pranks rule. No, no.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Absolutely not. I think this would be a great TV show. Do you remember? It's called, because it's like a quiz, but they don't know they're the contestant. That's a prank. Oh. I think that's a prank.
Starting point is 00:31:39 What if they win a prize? At what cost? They've been pranked. Yeah, true. You know, I wouldn't take the prize. I'd just be like, I can't believe you've done this thing. Well, what if Ashton Coochard came up to you and goes, how was your breakfast?
Starting point is 00:31:53 And you go, oh, good, thanks. What's this? And you go, for a thousand dollar webjet voucher. what was the movie? Yeah, yeah, I mean, I would have won the money. She's a winner. You love winning. That would have been great.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Where are you going to go? Go somewhere. Somewhere, yeah, exactly. I'll go somewhere. Great marketing from them. Yeah. I think, yeah, I'm not on board for a secret filming show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Because I don't like that. But it's only a secret to the people that don't know about it. it's not a secret to us not a secret to the cameraman yeah charles knows about it everyone watching this knows about it true that doesn't make it better does it what if we have all these cameras and lights so then it's like then it's very clear it's not like secret i didn't know if i was being filming well yeah look around why when charles went action surely that was a giveaway and question two yeah Are you being filmed?
Starting point is 00:32:59 Yeah, do you think that you're being filmed right now? Um, I love the pitch for the show, Tony. No, no. And I am with you. Okay. All right. I've been pranked and now this. Now you're winding me up on purpose.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Now, would you like a Holsom you love to see it or my favourite funny new Instagram account? Um. And spoiler alert, whichever one you don't choose today, you might get tomorrow. Okay. Halsom. Okay. Because I've been pranked. I need something, feel good.
Starting point is 00:33:29 You need something to bring you back? Okay, so this is from, you actually know about this because it came through the Patreon DMs. Sally. From Sally F. So I'm going to Texas for Thanksgiving. So exciting. See the family.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Now obviously America, like, you watch the news. There's like all sorts of shit. The government shutdown stuff. Yeah, but like getting through the borders, a lot of border chat. Awful. We're not American citizens.
Starting point is 00:33:56 So we have to go through the line. line and we always get questioned and blah blah blah yeah uh Sally said I know this might sound weird I think it could sound weird but I just want to say that I know you guys come through Dallas it's like an entry point I live in Dallas if you get caught up if you miss a flight if you need something here's my number I live around the corner I'm a tarpa we met at the Dallas meet and greet sometimes you get stuck and you miss a connecting flight just know that there's a tarpa here if you need anything at all yeah And I thought, A, that could be weird, but I actually really fucking appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:34:34 It is the nicest thing ever. And I don't know if I told you about this, Tony, when I was, when you had your foot broken and I went to South by Southwest, someone said like, it's a bit of a fucking lame question to be honest. Like, how do you know when you've made it? Like, you know, what is it for you? I guess that would look different for everybody. Yeah. And I said, like, the type of community.
Starting point is 00:34:57 is just like the nicest feeling. And I said the fact that I'm pretty confident there's 250 cities in this world where if something happened, I'd have a place to stay. Yep. I was like, for me, that is the ultimate success. Friends around the world. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:16 And then it's happened in action, literally Sally going, hey, I know this is odd, but things are weird. You might get stuck. If you need some help, just let me know. and I was just like, you're a good bitch, Sally. Thank you so much. Hopefully I don't need to call that number. Hopefully it goes smoothly.
Starting point is 00:35:32 But knowing that I've got a friend there, they're just really, really nice. And I really love to see it. And I really appreciate it. It was so, when it came through on Patreon, I was like, genuinely, what a lovely offer. Because it is super hairy at the moment. Like, you don't really know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:35:48 But even just knowing that, like, oh, there's someone in this city who, like, if I need to, yeah, put down, like, an address. because yeah give them a call you know things like that doesn't that fuck out when you get to customs and they go
Starting point is 00:36:00 what address are you staying at and you're like the hotel I don't fucking know yeah number one hotel street in Dallas yeah hotel
