Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Author, bestselling Dr. Author, Tony Lodge. And we are calling Bridget in Ballarat. Bridgerat. Bridgerat. Ballabridge. Where's Ballarat? Is that far? Nah. Hello. Bridget.

Bridget, Tony and Ryan, how you doing? I'm great. How are you? We're good. How's Ballarat this morning? How's the B-Rat? It's actually nice and warm for a change. Delicious. That's good to know.

Delicious. I'm really happy for you. I was going to reference one of my favourite places in Ballarat that I remembered I don't have any. Bridget's house. Oh, not in a sex way. Do they still have the bended elbow and 21 arms? Oh, I don't think so.

The bended elbow was like even before my time. Oh, my God, I'm so old. That was like a dank nightclub when I was 18. That's so embarrassing. That is embarrassing. Bridget, will you approve today's episode? Absolutely, I will. Hey, it's Bridget from Ballarat and I approve this podcast

Alright coming up today after Tony Dick Wizard Lodge decided... Dick Wizard? Yeah. I'll take it. I know you will. Harry Cocker.

Hermione Granger. So was it last week? Ron Weansley. Was it last week or when did we decide that, or you decide that you're a hoodie or helmet whisperer? I don't know. I don't think that I said that. I know that these words have been thrown around. You looked at Ben and Liam, who are breakfast radio hosts here in Melbourne,

and after being told that one was circumcised and one was not, you were able to identify which was which. I did correctly guess them. Do you think it matters that I know them both kind of well? Not how well, you know what I'm saying? Not that well. Both of them are married, very happily married. Ben's a new dad.

Very recently, Liam got married like last weekend. So didn't get an invite for that one. I was the fourth host of that show. You were the fourth host until you got sacked earlier this year. I did get sacked, yeah. That all happened real quick, hey. It's going to actually be probably in my end of year wrap up, I might have to talk about it because, you know,

you've got to hit on the highs and the lows. Life's not just a highlight reel, guys. The in memoriam section will be Tony's Nova job. Tony's radio career. They finally put me on air and then they took me straight off. I actually forgot about that. Yeah, I haven't. I wish that I could forget.

I bet. The sleepless nights. Anyway. We're talking cocks. In one of the stranger quizzes you'll hear in podcast land, which is where we reside, obviously. Nice. Well, I lost my job in radio, unfortunately.

A bunch of tarpers have sent through a photo of themselves, two facts, and whether they are in fact circumcised or not. And Tony, the dick wizard whisperer, will be able to supposedly guess which they are. I'm going to give it a good crack. Yeah. Well, every dick needs a good crack, you know what I'm saying? Exactly right.

But first, guys, we've got Christmas tree warnings because it's Christmas tree season. It's Christmas season. Shit's getting wild. It is. I think we said it last week maybe. It is the season of family beef as well. It's like that kind of time of year, a lot of dramas happening.

Have you got your Christmas tree up? Where do we get to? So I ordered a Christmas tree, like my dream. Like I'd looked at this Christmas tree online for a really long time. How long? Probably two or three years. Yeah. I looked at it and I was like, oh, I can't really justify it

and it wouldn't have fit in our old apartment. It would have fit in the courtyard. Oh, I still don't reckon. No. Yeah, it wouldn would have fit in the courtyard. Oh, I still don't reckon. No. Yeah, it wouldn't have fit in the old house. And then so I was like, you know what? I'm going to treat myself. I'm going to order it.

So I ordered it and then it didn't come in time. Because you're a strict 1st of December, aren't you? I am. I'm December 1 to January 1, not a day over, not a day less. January 1. Yep. So it goes up on the 1, not a day over, not a day less. January 1. Yep. So it goes up on the 1st, comes down on the 1st. You've never partied hard enough on New Year's Eve because any kind of life admin,

like if you party proper, you can't do fuck all on New Year's Day. The thing is, though, that in my younger party days, it's when I lived at home, my mum did it. Oh, okay. Like that's when you go out for New Year's is like when you're 18, 19, 20. 19, 29, 30, 32. And so they were the days when I was like partying. And to be honest, I quite enjoy the like hungover,

taking the baubles off the tree. Like it's quite fun because you just go like because I think I've got my mum like in my head going like if you leave that tree up, that's bad luck. Is it a superstition thing? Yeah, I think so. My brother looked at a house to buy it. It was his first home. My mum went and looked at houses with him and there was a Christmas tree

up in one of the houses and it was like March and mum was like, you cannot buy this house and he didn't. Yeah, ooh, spooky. Anyway, yeah. Anyway. What have I said about financial advice from your brother? And my mum, apparently. We can afford to be picky. Apparently in my house, my brother goes like, well, I don't have any more money.

And she goes, well, too bad. You're not buying the house, I guess, because you're not buying this one. Can I tell you something that will really fuck you off? Always. Can I tell you something that will really fuck you off? Always. One year I left my Christmas tree up so late that it was like we might as well just keep going. We sat down with the roommates at like late May and went.

Well, that's not too late to leave it up. But then we're just going to have to put it up again soon. Like we've come halfway through the year almost. Do you know what halfway means? Yeah. You're in May. Yeah. Halfway is like July.

Yeah. So we've come this far. We might as well just keep going. For me, the joy of like the Christmas tree, because it's so like, it's really nice to look at and it's quite special or whatever. Not in May apparently. No, no, but I kind of like that it's like a short time that you get to enjoy for a short time.

It makes it more special. Quality, not quantity. Yeah, like. A good time, not a long time. Because it's always really sad when you take it down because you go, oh, it like fills up the room. It's really nice. But anyway, so we ended up putting our tree up on the 9th.

Oh, Tony. Yeah, I know. The bad juju vibes in your house. Which I'm really embarrassed about. But we actually got a real tree. I got one someone sent to me, Jag and Lane, our friends. They sent us like for my 30th and like a housewarming present all wrapped up. It was like a little mini Christmas tree, like a live one that they sent over.

And I had little decorations, so we put that up on the first. Okay. So we had a mini one. Yeah. But when we went to put up our big tree, because, like, none of our decorations, like, really made the move because they were just, like, crap ones that we'd had. And you know when the, like, foil starts to peel off and stuff?

So Torbs made an editorial decision and was like, oh, and none of them were sentimental. He kept, like, the three sentimental ones. But because it was the 9th of fucking December, all of the decorations were gone. So I've got this beautiful Christmas tree that I've waited to buy for like three fucking years with shitty decos on it. Yeah, so I'm going to have to buy some good ones in a sale,

like Boxing Day sale or something. For next year? Yeah, buy them on Boxing Day for the future. Yeah, okay. Okay, tough. Yeah, I'm okay about it. Are you? But.

Are you more okay about that or the fact that I'm gold status with frequent flyers and you're silver? I'm fine with both. God rest all ye gentlemen or whatever that. Rest ye merry gentlemen. What's the song? We don't know, mate. No one knows. Anyway, yeah, so that's the song? We don't know, mate. No one knows.

Anyway, yeah, so that's my Christmas tree beef for the year. It looks beautiful now. Do you want to see a photo? Sure. I'm very proud of it. I think it looks nice. It's just, yeah, it's not what I dreamt the decorations would be, but they are nice and we did it together.

Oh, they're great. Yeah. What's wrong with those decorations? It's just not the theme that I was planning on. Do you know what I mean? Because this year it's very in for that like trad core, like Christmas tree that's been like thrown up on. In this year?

What? Our Instagram algorithm is making way up. Oh, no, no, no. In this year, in Christmas tree chat. That's the first tree I've seen this year. That's fine. We don't have to enjoy the same things. But, yeah, that's just what I wanted to do this year in Christmas tree chat. That's the first tree I've seen this year. That's fine. We don't have to enjoy the same things. But, yeah, that's just what I wanted to do this year.

But, unfortunately, it wasn't on the cards. But, yeah. That's cute. Thank you. Thank you. Anyway, yes. Got some warnings for Christmas tree putter-uppers. Order it in time.

Get your decorations before December 9th. Apparently that's D-Day for tree-havers. Simmo and Michelle, who I love seeing pop up in the group. Yep. Simmo. One year we got our decorative tabletop Christmas manger, but it was a little bit stanky because it had been in the box all year. Oh, musty.

Yeah. And if we're being honest, I read that first as a tabletop Christmas manager, like they'd hired someone to do the table. I was like, oh, it must be nice over at Simo and Michelle's house. But it's manger. Have you ever seen those Christmas tree stylists? I can imagine. So there's this place in Sydney called Dasher and Dancer.

Yeah. And they put up trees for the rich and famous. It's like $5,000. What? It's ridiculous.5,000. What? It's ridiculous. It is ridiculous. Isn't that crazy? So how many times did you hire them?

No, no, no. I didn't, obviously. Obviously. Would you get them for next year though? No, never. The fun is putting it up. The fun is your tree kind of looking a bit shit. Yeah.

Like it looking perfect like you're in a mire. It's like that's no fun. Yeah, that's no fun. You need Christmas decorations that like your kids have major and stuff, I reckon. Anyway, continue with Simo and Michelle and their manger manager. I lit some scented candles. Oh, sorry, we'll wait.

Sorry about that. Oh, I would hate to drink some of my drink while we were recording a podcast. Oh, we'll wait. I lit some scented candles and placed it nearby to take the edge off the smell. Oh, that's smart. Yeah. But my mum thought it was still smelly, so she grabs the Glen 20 and starts spraying. Oh, doesn't that make you cough like no one's business?

Well, A, that's a problem, but what's the main problem? The open flame. The open flame. The candle. Glen 20 plus open flame equals fireball. My mum literally caught fire. The mum caught fire. The mum caught fire and had Christmas dinner sitting in the cold shower

trying to cool her face, neck and arm while the house stank like burnt hair for the rest of the summer. And baby Jesus was on fire. The manger went up like a bloody Christmas tree. Yeah. I was like, is that the right saying? Yeah, it is. It is.

Tarpa David. Hi, Tarpa David. Got a real Christmas tree and was proud of the job he did decorating it. You did a real tree last year. We did. Have you done a real tree this year? You got a tree yet? No.

You going to do one? Don't think so. It's Mabes' first Christmas. Yeah, we've got like a bamboo plant where the Christmas tree was last year, so maybe a bit of tinsel might get thrown up on that. Oh, so you made a style decision. Would you like my little real life one? It's tiny.

It's like this big. Oh, thanks for the housewarming gift, Lag and Jane. That's not their name. No. Jag and Lane. Yep. So you're going to re-gift it? Oh, I'll buy you a different one.

I actually still have the one that I bought last year, a little live one that I bought last year. And survived all year? Yeah. I'm big on trying to keep the Christmas tree alive. Yeah. So you know how they like stump it and sell them? I'm like, no, give it to me in a pot dog because I want to keep it forever.

Yeah. Well, you can buy them from Coles. I think they're like 20 bucks and they're tiny. But if you planted it in your backyard, I reckon it would last a really long time. But wouldn't you have to pot it so then you could bring the pot in? That is the other thing. Yeah, but that would get so fucking heavy. Yeah.

Like, you know when you've got a big pot plant and it's like a big tray or whatever and it's in that. Like, the soil is really heavy i remember the parsons had a tree that like the whole time i knew them it was the same tree and by the end it was like fucking rank and dank because it was so old but it was just like their tree though you know like it had that kind of home charm about it yeah okay you're like oh what are you doing this weekend you want to come around we're going to wheel the big dog back in and you go fuck how's she looking this year and And they go, oh, not good. It's the last year.

But they say that five years in a row. Last year. The whole time I've known them. Probably still there. Probably still got it. Tapa David got a real Christmas tree and was proud of the great job he did decorating it. Awesome. There was a specific ornament that I just loved, said David.

So I took a photo of it and put it in the group chat with a bunch of friends. Love that. Like the hero bauble. Yeah. I think everyone's got one. Yeah, they know the one. And you search for it in the box because you go, if someone else puts that up, I'm not going to be happy.

Mine was like a very oddly religious one. It was like a Mary and Joseph and baby cheeses, like glitter ornament. It was glass. It was like a Mary and Joseph and Baby Cheeses like glitter ornament. It was glass. It was so heavy. I don't know where my mum got it from because we were like not religious, but it was like this very religious bauble. Not even a bauble. It was like a flat glass moulded fucking religion bomb pretty much.

Would your bauble approve of Producer Cam's lifestyle? Unfortunately, no, I don't think so. And your new lifestyle coming out this year. Yeah, really weird, but everyone's got one. Anyway. One friend replied to the group chat, Dave, can you please look closer at the photo and in particular the reflection in the ornament?

I looked closely in the photo and realised I'd sent my entire naked body that was reflected in the Christmas bauble and essentially sent a nude to all of my friends. Happy Christmas. Merry Christmas, guys. Yeah, you're welcome. What's in the Christmas car this year, you know what I'm saying? Christmas cock.

But a few of our champion tapas that's tony and ryan podcast yes georgie partridge good on you georgie thank you thanks georgie uh chloe bolton carly and danny bolton alexis dnom bax yeah you got a bit cocky with the one previously you got a bit of attitude and that's really come back to bite hasn't it dnom back d-n-o-m-b-a-c-s why do you

Arden Coots and Bushra Amdani, thank you so much, everybody, for being part of our Patreon.

Fuck, that's not just it. Thank you, Bushra Amdani. Thank you, guys. Previously on the show, Dick Whisperer Lodge said, I can tell. I would be able to guess if someone was a hoodie or a helmet. For those playing along at home, that is if people have a full skin on. Yeah.

So hoodie, obviously, is uncircumcised. Yep. Helmet, circumcised. And I think that I can tell just from a photo or some facts about someone, I reckon that I can discover whether they are circumcised or not. Are we shocked, surprised, flattered? How do we feel about the fact that we put the call out and we got so many dicks sending it through?

Flattered. I love that all of these people trust me deciding whether they're circumcised or not. All right, let's do the quiz. Hang on. Actually, let's burn through. We've got eight. Burn through.

Oh, no. All of these dicks deserve their time in the sun. Yeah. Out of eight, that's a pass mark. If you put your penis in the sun, would it burn really easily because it's like baby skin? Like never sees the sun? Oh, doesn't it?

Oh, yeah, actually, that's true. Yeah. I think fucking Cam's seen some suns. I agree with you. S-O-N. We're all someone's daughter. We're all someone's son. Whilst I know what you're getting at, can we just refrain from,

when you say baby skin. I mean like young skin. Like, you know, when you get a burn or something and it like goes through the layers of your skin and then they call that baby skin because it's like, yeah, because it's like young skin because it's like fresh. Yeah. Isn't all skin dead?

Is that a thing that I've heard? Is it? Oh, that makes me really sad. You're covered in dead skin, mate. Well, because of my psoriasis, I feel like I am covered in dead skin. Well, we all are. We're all in this together. That's really nice.

It is. I've got some fucking mean Instagram comments to reply to if that's the case. Tarpadic number one is from New South Wales, Australia. I don't think I need the facts. That guy's cut. Have I ruined the game? Because I reckon that guy's cut. Let me read these first.

Okay. I have auditioned for Australian Idol and Popstars. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Hang on. I have auditioned for Australian Idol and Popstars. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Hang on. I have been in a musical with a gold Logie winner. Auditioning for Australian Idol and Popstars means that he's a little bit older. Like, because those shows, like, were back in the day a little bit.

Yep. He's cut. Definitely. He is cut. He's a helmet. He said, got it done at birth, couldn't work for 12 months. That's just called being a baby. That's hilarious, though.

Tarpidic number two is from Aarhus, Denmark, and I'm sure that's not how you pronounce it. I knitted the jumper I'm wearing in my picture, and knitting is why I moved to Denmark. Oh, my gosh. I accidentally played oboe for the Pope. Accidentally? I don't know how you accidentally play an oboe.

Ever, especially for the Pope. Uncut. Correct. Two from two. Thank you. Two from two. Tarpidick number three is from Werribee. Oh, local. Thank you. Two from two. Tarpa Dick number three is from Werribee. Oh, local.

Local Dick. I'm an artist and I have two pets. I have a Kelpie called Eggs Benedict and I have a cat called Elizabeth the Purred. Amazing. Is this person single? That's what I'm interested in. Ooh. Amazing.

Is this person single? That's what I'm interested in. Ooh. Also, when he said my pet names are, I thought he meant, like, that's what people call him. Oh, like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, oh, Eggs Bendix, that's a funny name. And then it's like in brackets, Kelpie.

And I was like, oh, he's talking about his dog. I'm a little bit torn on this one. Yeah. Un one. Yeah. Uncut. Correct. Three from three. Three from three. Threeness.

Tarpidick number four is from Cambridge in the UK. You can see their picture there. I have lived in Australia before. Just like Tony, I can tell if someone is a hoodie or a helmet just by looking at them. Righto, mate. Just like Tony. Well, I've got three from three, mate, so you better be that accurate. Can you read the facts again, please?

I have lived in Australia before, despite being in Cambridge. Where do they live? They live there now. Okay, so they're a little bit older because they've lived away from home. Just like Tony, I can also tell if someone is a helmet or a hoodie just by looking at them. That's a hard fact to like glean. Yeah, that fact doesn't give you any information.

Give me any information. Cut. Dick four. Type of dick four. Cut. Correct. Four from four. The dick whisperer continues. The Dick Whisperer continues.

You really had me going there. I thought that I had gotten it wrong. Tarpidick five, come on down. Should we just do five and see if you get five from five? Oh, yeah, because I'll come if I get all these right. Well, what if we stop where we are because then I've got four from four. Yeah, what if we stop now? The fifth then I've got four from four. Yeah, what if we stop now? The fifth and final tarpa dick.

Actually, I'll give you a choice. Do you want a Canada dick, a German dick, or a Tennessee dick? German. Controversial. And which person am I looking at? Tarpa dick number eight. Tarpa dick number eight. Tarpidick number eight. That's who I'd scrolled to when you said German.

I am basically a doctor because I've watched the entirety of Grey's Anatomy five times. Fair. Yep, I'll play that. That's probably how I'm guessing all of these. My dream job is to be a diplomat in the UN. Diplomat? Yeah.

I want to be a diplomat and has watched all of Grey's Anatomy. So, again, I reckon that places him a little bit older. Is he from Germany or just living in Germany? Do we know? He and his dick currently reside in Hanover in Germany. Uncut. Tony Lodge from Perth, Australia. Uncut.

Who's whispered into many dicks in her past and current life. Just the one now, but yes. Correct. Five from five. Five from five. She is the dick whisperer. She is the dick whisperer. The German doctor is a hoodie.

That is amazing. That is amazing. That is my biggest achievement to date. That is huge. That is huge. That is huge. That's what she said. Sorry? I'm so impressed.

Are you really? Yeah. That's amazing. That is crazy. Were you lying? No. Oh, my God. I would never lie about a foreskin. No, and you have always said that.

Wow, wow, wow, wow. This is the best day of my life. That's actually incredible. That is huge. That's massive. Well done. I can't believe I did that. Dick Whisperer Lodge.

Yep. Can that be the name of today's episode or is that the bit? Yep. In the eye, can we put an eggplant emoji? No, it's my day. No emojis. You know what? It is your day.

Thank you. And if you want to go emoji-less. Thank you. Cam, can you call the eggplant and tell him not to come in? Yeah. Yeah, we've got to go ahead and start that. Cancel the guy. Cancel the eggplant guy.

And he's like, so you're telling me you hired me, dressed me up as an eggplant, brought me in, dick whisperer gets five from five, and you're sending me home? And I'm still not required? In what world was I required if that's not the case? Is the eggplant a helmet or a hoodie? Hoodie because it's got that green bit at the top. You like that, didn't you?

That's fucking grim. Thank you. That is impressive. I can't believe that. I wish I was as good at anything in my life as you are as dick whispering. Huge. That's amazing. Except, you know, when we were in the US and it kind of,

we went to the US and met thousands and thousands of tapas just after I said that I can probably figure out what colour your name is. Yeah. And so then everyone we met in the US asked me what colour their name was. I really hope that a trend doesn't begin. No, I think it should start. Where now if, you know, I'm at Coles after work tomorrow and someone goes, oh, do you reckon I'm cut or uncut?

I will not be answering live. I just have to put my foot down. Would it be inappropriate? What colour is my dick? Yeah, purple. Yeah, the eggplant guy. But an actual purple dick, it would be like a bruised dick. Well, I don't know.

Or maybe a cock ring that was too tight. Yeah. Well, if you put a cock ring on when you're flaccid and then you get hard, like that's- Isn't that what it's for? Oh, but like if it's too – because it thickens and swells. Yeah. Oh, mate, I've seen it.

I don't know. Mate, I'm a dick whisperer. Yeah, you're a dick whisperer. Why am I explaining this to you? Would it be inappropriate to add a potential future TARP live show? Potential. Hypothetical. Hypothetical.

For you to – like for people in the audience to stand up. Yep. I would do that. I would do that at a live show where it's a safe space and there's lots of people around. I will not be doing it in the alley behind my house. I will not be doing it at the Liquorland in Abbotsford. That's for bloody sure.

Oh, fuck. Liquorland. Cam, call the guys in Abbotsford and let them know the bad news. Yeah, unfortunately. Just stop lining up. She's not coming. I was picking up a bottle of Fireball from Liquorland Aventure the other day. Don't say Fireball.

You're talking about the cocks. Well, and also an old mate with the Glen 20. Yes. And they said, hey, Ryan, me and the lads have got like a Christmas party coming up. What's some good entertainment? Well, I've got this cock whisperer. I've got this cock whisperer. That I work with.

I'll fucking send her down. You guys, what bar are you heading to? Yeah. It'll be a great game. They said Wednesday morning we're planning on doing it. Maybe you could do hen's parties and bucks the stag do's and stuff. That's fun. Yeah.

I like a little magic trick. What do you love to see besides obviously being crowned the cock whisperer? Yeah, and it does feel a bit bad to go into what I'm going into, but I've got a very wholesome... Do you want me to go first? You love to say it. No, no, no. This is fine.

I think we'll just slam that door shut, you know. I've got a very wholesome, you love to say it, and it does CCW, coincidence chat warning. Okay. It was a bit of a crossover here. Emily posted this in our Facebook group on Monday. I was listening to the podcast while my mum was in the car and she started asking about who you were and what the podcast was about.

I'm from Gosnells in Perth, and I've always felt like I would have seen Tony around. 100%. But as soon as I showed my mum a photo of Tony, she immediately said that she used to work with Tony at Coles and also at IGA in Rollystone. Oh, my God. My mum wants to say how proud she is of you, Tony. Is this not the bitch one?

No, no, no, no. Thank God. Yeah. But I didn't recognise Emily's last name. And somebody said, like, oh, Mrs Wilton, like, oh, where are you? And she said, oh, no, that's not my maiden name is Thomas. And I was like, oh, let me have a bit of a stalk. And I scrolled through and I found a post of her and her mum.

And I remember her mum, Michelle. That is coincidence chat. Yeah. And, yeah, we worked together at Ia in rolly stone when i was a checkout chick and also at cole's she worked in a different department but yeah we used to and i'd be like hi michelle she's my whole morning tony she's really really lovely was she you saying um she was in a so when i worked at iga the um the ladies used to do the checkouts during the day and like the young girls would like do the night time.

Oh. Yeah, so we'd, like, cross over at the end of it. So, like, after school I would get there and I would, like, put my register in and she would go home. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah. So a little shift change chat? A little shift change chat.

How's the day today going? What's coming through? Oh, yeah, like, anything big, you know, what specials are hot today? And then, like, she'd come through. What's the gossip in the aisles today, sweetheart? Oh, yeah, what's been happening with Steve, you know, whatever. And then she'd, like, come in on the weekends and do her food shopping with her kids.

Beautiful. And now she listens to the pod. This is the real Lion King story. Isn't that beautiful? That is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing that, Emily. And big love to your mum, Michelle. What a lovely woman.

Yeah, I've always loved Michelle. Yeah. My love to see it. I'm a fan of LeBron James. What a legend. Yep. Have you heard what happened to his mum, Michelle. What a lovely woman. Yeah, I've always loved Michelle. Yeah. My love to see it. I'm a fan of LeBron James. What a legend. Yep. Have you heard what happened to his son, Bronny? No.

So about four or five months ago, he had a basketball training because he plays college basketball. He just started. Oh, so he's an older kid. Yeah. Sorry, I'm imagining like a five-year-old. No, LeBron's got a bunch of kids, but this is the oldest one, and he's a gun basketballer, and there's a bit of chat like,

could he get into the NBA before his dad retires and they might play together and stuff? And so there's always been this thing. Because obviously then they both play on the Lakers. Yeah, wherever they end up, but yeah. But he's currently in the Lakers, so that's good chat, good chat. I saw basketball in the US. So four or five months ago, unfortunately,

Bronny's at training and has like a cardiac arrest. Like real bad. Oh, my God. Out of nowhere. And so young. Obviously extremely fit and healthy. Goes down. He's in hospital for like three or four days.

Like it's real fucked up. Oh, my God. And suddenly like basketball, all this, because, you know, being LeBron's son, there's always a tension. And suddenly everyone goes, oh, fuck. Like this guy's actually just a person who, you know he's being lebron's son there's always and suddenly everyone goes oh fuck like this guy's actually just a person who you know i don't know the kind of the chat had changed a little bit well yeah because you just think like you're infallible like oh like the old man yeah willie mate the nba house is gonna go then you go oh it's actually

someone's son and it's some guy that's just trying to do his thing so that was four or five months ago and then suddenly basketball was like who cares about basketball let's just like get fit and healthy yeah uh well just two days ago bronnie played his first game and it just was like chills because he's like back on the court and he's playing and like it's real like you know everyone's just like how beautiful that he's just like playing basketball and enjoying himself and i was just that he got well. Yeah. And he was able to play. What I love about LeBron is, like, he's not too cool. He's a fan of basketball and shit. So at his son's first game, he's, like, there with his phone out,

like, just loving it. Just like any parent or, like, family member would be. You can imagine someone like LeBron could be, like, up the back in the corporate box or didn't want to make a fuss or stay at home. But, like, he's got his phone out and he's,'s like when his son got his shot at three-pointer, he's like, yeah, like he's like cheering and stuff and just loves it sick. And I love that he loves that shit. So it was just a real little wholesome day of college basketball I was watching the other day.

Oh, that's really nice. Yeah, that's why I love to see it. What a legend. Oh, you do love to see that. Tomorrow on the show, Normal or Nah is in. And A Moral Dilemma. A Moral Dilemma and a tarpa. Can I just read the first sentence here?

Mm-hmm. I'd like to nominate myself for residence on DCI. Which, of course, is... Dumb Caliconti Island Ruby you said I think I need to it's very seldom self admitted

not many people sent themselves so I love the self awareness yes Ruby good on you you know what for that you don't have to go oh actually I haven't heard what you did yet I reckon you just hold fire on that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Although, can I say, given the current climate in the property markets

around the world. The current climate? It's bloody humid in Melbourne. It is humid in Melbourne. But the current climate of the property market. Oh. You can't just decide do you want to live on an island. You know what I'm saying?

That's a great point. Oh, I did something silly. you want to live on an island. You know what I'm saying? That's a great point. Oh, I did something silly. I have to live in Manhattan. Oh, I accidentally bought a holiday house. In Tahiti. Oh, shit. Not relatable. We'll get to that tomorrow.

Have a great day, everyone. Love you. Bye.
