Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast.
My name is Ryan.
This is Dr.
Arthur Tony Lodge and we are calling Ash who is in.
Who's a slut.
Yeah.
And we'll explain why when she answered the phone, actually rough way to start the
show, but to make some big accusations about our mate Ash, but we stand by it.
Hello.
Ash, it's Tony and Ryan.
How you doing?
Hi Ash. Hi.
Hi, Ash.
Now it says on my form here, Ash, S-L-U-T for slut.
So where are you from?
Yeah.
So like Salt Lake, Utah.
I thought it was kind of like a, like a, you're a dump slut from Sophie's.
No, I absolutely love it.
And thanks for dragging Sophie into this.
Who's just sitting over there in shock.
No, Ash, I absolutely love it.
And when slut came up, I thought, my kind of people, here we go.
Now, Ash, I believe you auditioned for American Idol.
Tell us how you went.
It was, it was okay.
They were hosting it here.
So I was like, you know what, just the experience and stuff.
So I went fucking hated it.
It was all day wasted my day off and just, and I'm not a singer.
So what do you mean?
What do you, what do you, you rocked up and juggled?
Like, what do you mean?
What did you do?
No, we sang. What do you mean? What do you, you rocked up and juggled? Like, what do you mean? You're saying what did you do?
No, we sang it before they added all like the other talents that you can do.
No, see, you've both gone wrong.
You're thinking of America's Got Talent.
American Idol is still only singing and it was still only singing when you went out.
Ash, will you approve today's podcast?
You're sweet Carla Conti's I will.
Well from one slot to another.
Hi, it's Dooshly Ash from Utah and I approved this podcast. Recently, our socks have blown off our feet.
Hats have shot off our heads because we heard that Tony Lodge, whilst working at the Siggy's
counter at the local RGA supermarket, asked a bad boy for his phone number.
Yeah, I did.
Yeah, I sure did.
Very off brand.
Very off brand.
And I was young and I was just covering someone's break because one of the older
girls was sick, you were supposed to be 18.
So I got this je ne sais quoi about me and had all the confidence in the world to do this.
We asked Harper's, Turn In Ryan podcast, when did you ask for a phone number?
Because there's something that you need to be brave.
You really do need to be brave.
I feel like in this, and this is coming from two people who aren't fucking single
and haven't been for a long time.
But I would like the fact that people are still asking for numbers is a bit wild
because I would have assumed maybe a DM is the new kind of slide in,
like randomly seeing someone in public and being like, can I have your number?
Just seems like a world where it seems crazy.
It feels like old school.
Old school, but just the bravery of it.
It's just so like, fuck.
Would you just now, like, if you saw someone you liked, would you then, cause is-
I would just go home and be like, oh.
No, but like on Tinder and stuff now, wouldn't you just, cause isn't that based on your location?
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
So you just go on and like hope that you saw them, right?
Yeah. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.
You know what I mean? Like you would just be like, oh, we were nearby each other. Maybe, you know?
Do I need to get my hat on again and do the, the Joe from you?
No, cause it's not creepy. It's supposed to be sweet. Well, I don't know if Tinder's that sweet.
Paul, Paul Taylor. Hi Paul. I got a TARPA's phone number at the TARPA meet and greet in London.
I just saw Tony's whole body have a conniption shaking and shuddering matchmakers matchmaker
matchmaker make me a match.
Find me a fine catch me a catch.
If we were not a podcast and instead a radio show in 1994 when we have a singles event.
Yeah.
No, but we don't do that because we're not fuckheads.
Yeah.
However.
If you know what that sound is, win the thousand dollars.
Well, it was Ryan going, I win the money.
Cha-ching.
What the hell are you going to spend it?
Money, money, money, money, money.
Bed plays.
That is the most incredible thing I've ever heard.
Please give me the information.
Is there any details?
Like a follow-up?
Like, did they catch up?
What's going on?
I don't believe so.
What was their follow-up, so I don't-
Oh no, sorry I've asked too many questions.
There is a follow-up.
Well, we asked for the Yardayada.
Yeah. Beautiful.
They live on like opposite sides of London.
So they've been messaging a little bit back and forth, but they
haven't actually met up yet.
But this might be the inspiration they need.
I think you guys should meet, meet halfway, meet in town and, um, let us know how it goes.
And if you just have a couple of beers and like, you know, it's
pleasantry and all good and nothing comes of it.
Well, at least we know.
And maybe you've just made a new friend.
At least you know you've got something in common.
Yeah.
Like you can talk about the pod.
Yeah.
Yeah.
When in doubt, just talk about Tony.
Well, you know, if you met somebody at like a themed thing,
that's a free kick because you...
Yeah. Yeah. Take that back.
That's a great fucking story. That's win. Yeah, yeah, take that back. That's a great fucking story.
That's awesome.
This one is from raise the Ruth.
I wasn't in an Uber and it turns out the driver and I had the same interest in
books and we got chatting.
That's cool.
And after a 40 minute journey, we talked about how the books had influenced our lives.
And as we're sharing stories of our lives,
it became clear that both of us were single.
So not in a creepy way, but you know,
when you're getting- Totally, yeah.
And it was sort of this moment where we both kind of went,
huh, I'm single.
You know, like it was a bit like,
and we have this, you know,
this niche area of books that we're both into.
And you've just been chatting
and like getting to know each other.
We got to my location and I assumed
he wouldn't ask for my number
because I thought Uber would probably have rules
and stuff like that.
Well, also there's surely something about like,
oh, you are in my car.
There's like a power imbalance.
Yeah, absolutely.
So I got out of the car and went, well, he can't ask me, but in my 38 years on this
planet, I've never asked anyone for their number, but I think if it's going to
happen and it has to be me right here right now, because he's not allowed to.
I got out of the Uber and then I leaned back in and said, would it be inappropriate
if you gave me your number?
And he goes, no, that's fine. I love that you asked.
And they swapped numbers and texted each other right then and there.
And it happened.
That is the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
38 years never done it.
That is so fucking brave.
That is amazing.
Would you say you'd?
That's better than mine.
100%.
That's amazing.
Oh, so how would you raise the roof?
Oh, I'd raise the roof for that.
So they start, they start, they start texting.
Yeah.
You know, it's cute and fun and whatever.
Yeah.
And they go, oh my God, I've got this new book.
And then he said, oh, you know, should we get a coffee and chat and blah, blah,
blah?
And so they met up and had a coffee and I can confirm that many months later,
they are together and have been together for quite some time.
They are boyfriend and girlfriend.
That is the love story of a generation.
It really is.
They should make a Netflix show about that.
Trademark.
Trademark the idea. That's our idea. That is amazing. Oh no.
So you've got me on a high about all these sweet stories.
I don't know that bad ones are coming.
Should I like, I'll fuck off the real bad one.
Nah, I need to hear it.
We've got two more.
Okay.
Brie Elliot.
Hi Brie.
I was 19 years old and working at Taco Bell.
Oh, love it.
This older, older man came in late every night.
Two olders, not good.
He ordered the same thing every night to the point where,
when it was getting to that time, we'd almost,
we'd just start making it.
Just get it ready.
Yeah.
Because he appreciated that I was like getting it ready
and I was really nice from blah, blah, blah.
He asked for my number.
You're like, nope, I'm just doing my job.
Please leave.
And I panicked.
He was old enough to be my dad.
I gave him the wrong number and then tried to avoid him.
But you know, he's coming into the story.
To your work.
Oh, that's so creepy.
One day he caught me hiding behind the counter and he said,
I know you gave me
the wrong number.
The manager asked him to leave and I've never really seen him much since then.
Oh my God.
Thank God the manager stepped in.
Oh, you did the right thing.
Oh God.
Are you ready for the coincidence chat?
Yes.
It was my dad.
He's like, what's your number?
I need to call you about Christmas. This, you know, you're doing the turkey or the salad.
My sister's current boyfriend is his son.
You were almost your sister's mother.
One carry the two...
Yeah! Step mum!
And sister!
What the fuck?!
No way.
Yeah.
She says I'm dating this guy.
Great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bye bye.
All your family.
Bye bye.
Yeah.
So are you daddy?
Spicy chicken, large fries.
That.
I don't suck at all.
Crunch wrap supreme.
Extra guap.
Holy shit. Yeah. That guap. Holy shit.
Yeah.
That's fucked.
That's fucked up.
Sorry that happened to you, Brie.
That's crazy, Brie.
Jesus.
But let's end with Brittany.
Oh, hi, Brittany.
And this is a good tale.
You don't need it.
We can all take it.
We all take it, Brie.
Hang on, just three, two, one.
I'm gonna have a sip of my little drinky poo.
Yeah, I might do that as well.
Okay.
If you're, if you're driving and you got a car, you can have a sip as well.
I mean, you're actually always allowed.
No, but I think it's good.
No, they're not on the clock.
We're on the clock.
They're not on the clock.
Well, they got to get to work.
You don't know they're going to work.
They might be on the way home.
They got to get to Pilate. He's a spider might fall on him.
I was on a bad Bumble date in a pub in 2019.
Rough year, right before the world changed.
Now I love Brittany and I think a lot of guys
Brittany's my best friend.
Would see Brittany as just fucking A1 material
to meet on Bumble.
Let me tell you why.
I've always agreed with that.
Now I know this is is gonna like sound sexist
and fucking blah, blah, blah, but like, just hear me out.
Brittany goes-
All great sentences style.
No, no, no, but Brittany goes, I love cricket.
Do you want to meet at a pub and we'll watch the game?
And if a girl says that to a guy, you just go,
fucking what a legend this bitch is.
Like this sounds great.
I know, but you know-
No, but it doesn't because it's just like, and again, it's like the tarp thing.
Yeah.
It's something to chat about.
It breaks the ice and you go great.
Like we can watch sport and have a chat and whatever.
I actually think that's a great date idea because when you go to a movie,
you can't really talk at all, but you've got the icebreaker of the movie.
But it's true.
When you go to a pub to watch the game,
if it gets quiet, you just, your eyes go back to the screen and.
Yeah.
You know, there's something to it.
You can get up and go, oh, I might grab another drink or whatever.
Yeah.
Watching a game in a pub is a great date idea if you're both kind of into it.
Yeah.
So I read this first sentence and I go, well, this bloke's probably going,
huh, fuck it, what a winner here.
Well, just just a great date idea.
Yeah.
we go, huh, fuck it, what a winner here. Well, just, just a great date idea.
Yeah.
Turns out he lied and he had no idea
or no interest in cricket.
Oh.
And I, so this girl's going, do you want to come
and watch the game?
He goes, yeah, I love cricket.
And you can't like, of course you would say that maybe.
Oh, I would.
Yeah. Yeah.
So there's a guy sitting down, we're on a bench seat
and there's a guy like at the other end of the bench seat
and we start bantering about the cricket.
Cause you know, I yell out, oh, whatever.
And he like chimes in and you know, there's a bit of back and forth.
Then my date goes to the bathroom and the guy like scooches down the bench and he goes,
is this a really bad date or is that a cousin that lives out of town that you don't really
get along with?
I'm smooth as, by the way.
Later that night, the guy slips me his business card and he's like, I'm not
going to cut this guy's lunch in the moment, but you know, he's my card and
you do what you need to do.
Sorry, but business card.
What's got his number?
No, I know, but like how grown up, you know, that's not the back of an RGA receipt.
The guy I was on a date with, I've never seen him since.
Probably for the best.
Doesn't sound like a love connection.
The guy who slipped me the business card.
We've been together for five years.
We own a house together and have a dog.
Huge.
Huge. That is amazing. How did you guys meet on a Tinder date? With someone else. Hi, it's Dooshie Ash from Utah and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon.

Thank you for the back end tap.
Show me your back end.
I actually won't sleep with you.
I just have to let you know.
Twice over the last few days.
So I know that we kind of talked about recently,
like not knowing what season it is,
because in Melbourne, where that is beautiful,
but I keep thinking in my mind, I look outside and I'm like,
it's summer, but then my crusty eyes and rotten throat
tell me it's spring.
Yeah. And then 12 minutes passed and it's the depths
of winter because you live in Melbourne
and who the fuck knows what's happening
at any fucking time in this town.
But the allergies right now with the wind
and the fucking, the El Nino, the Nino, whatever the fuck,
whoever it is that's winded around is like whipping the pollen up into a frenzy.
Termites gone mad.
Termites mad around Ryan's place.
You know how we all joked earlier like, oh, I hope we've all had our hizzy.
I've just remembered as you said that I have not had an antihistamine today and I can feel it.
Oh, well you're about to feel it even more
because I'm going to tell you about this.
Oh, because I'm going to breathe pollen into your face.
Because I'm going to tell you all about it.
So I grew up in WA, right?
It's a dry heat.
It's a very dry heat.
Very dry heat.
Insects don't like it, too dry.
Too dry.
And-
Not wet enough.
And it's like the spring,
there are still like polleny times,
but in Melbourne, it is like times a billion.
Yeah.
We have like pollen meters. There's pollen maps. You can check online.
I'm pretty sure during the weather at night, they're like tomorrow, 27 degrees,
bit of cloud and the pollen is at seven.
Yeah. Like they talk, it's like a thing that people know about. And even though I've always
kind of had a bit of hay fever, like if someone had just like cut their lawn or whatever, I'd maybe get it in Melbourne.
It's so much worse.
Sorry. Just, um, it's like a guy cut my grass.
Someone's got cut my lawn.
Yeah. Cut my lawn. Tell me it's Christmas or whatever. Anyway.
And, um, it's also, I believe, and many dermatologists have told me this, that's
also the reason that I have psorias have told me this, that's also the reason
that I have psoriasis because I never had that in my life before moving to Melbourne.
Tony?
Yeah.
You know that I love you, right?
Yeah.
And I love you too.
And I don't like where this is going.
No, no, this is going good.
Okay.
If you ever sit me down one day and said, I love the podcast, I love the tarpas, but
the allergies are getting to me and I want to move to
Bali. Can we move our families and do this together?
I would like have that conversation.
Um, can we have it now?
Because everything's in play.
Everything's in play.
And also my algorithm at the moment on Tik Tok is like, here's what $198,000 buys you on this island.
And I go, why the fuck do I live in Melbourne?
Yeah, no, that's fair.
Because you know what that buys you in Melbourne?
Nothing. Literally nothing.
Of pollen.
Do you know that like-
$200,000.
Do you remember that viral like car park in St Kilda and that was like $200,000?
For the car park.
For just the car park? St. Kilda. And that was like $200,000 for just the car park.
Like crazy.
Anyway.
And a guy, when you park your car there,
a guy comes down and just punches you in the face.
Yeah.
Literally.
Yeah.
No questions asked.
That's actually a bonus.
You pay extra for that.
So what I'm just saying is that everything's in plain.
If it ever gets too much, like we can have a conversation.
So actually this isn't obviously where this is going.
Yeah.
Cause yeah, so I never had psoriasis before living in Melbourne and every
dermatologist I've been to is like, this happens to people that move here as an
adult. Um, it's like quite common.
And after we were in America, cause my skin was really bad in America, but then
when Torb's and I were in Hawaii for a few days, my skin was like clear as day.
Oh, that's because of the motion of the ocean though as well.
It is. But like also like the low stress, but like the humidity.
The humidity.
And I was in the ocean every day.
The pollen can't fly to Hawaii is a long way off the fucking coast. I don't know if people
realize how far Hawaii is. You know what's near it?
Nothing.
Nothing.
The water and how good's that? Great. But yes, I would
definitely be keen for that. Let's take this offline. Okay. Okay.
Anyway, because my allergies have been really bad. Like all of us, you
weren't joking about the daily hissy. All of us kind of do the rounds and
we go, yeah, have we hised up? Yeah. I get really itchy eyes. And the other
day was over the weekend and I got a really bad allergy
iron and I took an antihistamine way too late and my eye was fucked.
It was like redder than the fucking devil's dick.
And I like could not open it.
And it was like sealed shut.
And this has happened before.
Like you've been stung by a wasp and an allergic, just full, just up.
It was just like fully puffed up and it was like, and I had to take my glasses off because I'm trying to like put a cold compress on there or whatever.
Okay, we'll move to Bali. I get it.
It's a similar thing that happens when I'm around a cat and I get really allergic to a cat.
Yeah. Anyway, and so I'm like, I need some eye drops and he's like, I'll just grab you some.
He goes to the cupboard.
There's a box for the eye drops.
No eye drops in there.
He goes, Oh, I think there might be some in your toilet bag.
And there's a box in there as well.
No eye drops.
And I'm like, fuck, we don't have any eye drops.
I'm like, all right, I think that I can like, we can figure this out.
I'm doing the cold compress.
I have a shower.
I'm like trying all these things. And I was like, you know what? He. I'm doing the cold compress. I have a shower. I'm like trying
all these things. And I was like, you know what? He goes, I'll just go to the chemist. I was like,
no, no, no, no. I think it'll be okay. I mean, eye drops is just saline. What if I just start to cry?
So my eyes require salt water.
My eyes also have the ability to produce salt water.
I think you've just hacked the mainframe here, sweetheart.
This is fucking genius.
You are fucking smart and a doctor.
Anyway, it's genius.
Oh my God.
Okay. So yeah. Okay. So how do you, how do you bring the tears on? We're sitting on the couch. Jeez. Oh my God. Okay. So yeah. Okay.
So how do you, how do you bring the tears on?
We're sitting on the couch.
It's a Sunday afternoon and Torbz is like,
your mom's dead.
And I'm like, oh, nah, nothing.
And he goes, one day,
he goes, one day Pippa's gonna die.
And I'm sitting there and I just nothing,
cause we're both laughing because it was just so ridiculous.
We're sitting there, I'm like,
is that how you make me cry you little bitch?
Try harder you pansy.
And he goes, pulls my hair.
And then he just come. I'm like, well, that's not going to work. Like, so I'm sitting there. I'm like, okay, no, like nothing's making me cry.
Did you watch my girl on Netflix?
I'm like, yeah, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm
like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm
like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm
like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm hair. I'm like, well, that's not going to work. Like, so I'm sitting there. I'm like, okay, no, like nothing's making me cry.
Did you watch My Girl on Netflix?
Fuck, that is a sad movie.
Torb's guys, I've got an idea.
He goes to the bathroom and gets some tweezers out.
He's like, I'll pluck some of your nose hairs out.
Like that'll make your eyes water.
And so he starts to, we are sitting opposite each other other on the couch and he's looking at me with the
intensity of a thousand suns like this.
And he's just like plucking my nose heads out like that.
And it was like starting to work, but then it started to wear off.
Cause I got used to it.
That would make sense now because I looked in your nostrils the other day and
it looked like going down the slide at McDonald's.
It was that smooth.
You know, it was like the slippery dip, like woo, like a water slide.
And in case anybody's wondering what the winning combination was.
Yeah, no, we are.
Torbz plucked a hair out of my head and real gently put that up my nose and like
jiggled around the bottom of my nose.
That's the most disgusting fucked up thing I've ever heard in my life.
I know.
And he did that and it was so ticklish that yeah, my eyes started watering and
stuff and like, and that worked.
And it cleared the...
Yeah.
Cause I just, I started crying.
My eyes were watering so much.
And then I was like, that's okay.
And my eye like went back to normal and yeah.
In today's episode thread, say something really mean to make Tony cry.
No, no.
For health and safety reasons.
In case I get something in my eye in the future.
The allergies, think of the psoriasis.
No, but I mean.
Or jokes aside, please don't do that.
Please don't do that. I don't need that today.
But yeah, and so that ended up working.
And then after that. Have you given me a free swing to be mean?
And then I can just say, I'm just trying to help with the allergies.
No, that's not how it works.
What would you say, though?
I don't want to say it. No, don't say it.
What if it was like too good?
Yeah, see, that's the that's the risk, isn't it?
But then you're like, oh, sorry, is that the point?
Yeah, but yeah, but still.
Yeah, but to be like, your mom's dead.
It was like a schoolyard argument. Like, that's the energy that I had that he was like, but to just be like, your mom's dead. It was like a schoolyard argument.
Like that's the energy that I've had that he was like, well, you're like.
I do recommend My Girl.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I, a movie I thought was just going to be too slow.
Yeah.
I need relief now.
Cause I needed to just start crying.
Have you seen that?
And my mental health currently is too good.
Have you seen Armageddon?
I have, yeah.
Like just the last few moments.
But that movie is like three hours long.
That's what I mean.
I didn't have three hours.
It would actually be quicker
to stop an asteroid hitting earth than to watch that movie.
Yeah, I mean, we probably just could have gone
to Chemist's warehouse.
Have you considered that in?
Well, I was just like, what could we try?
Anyway. That's huge news. It was pretty fun. Yeah. And you know, that passes an Well, I was just like, what could we try? Anyway, that's huge news.
It was pretty fun.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, that passes an hour, doesn't it?
Yeah, it passes the time.
Something to do.
Well, you know how when you've got like a broken leg, they like tell you to like
whack your head because then you forget about your leg.
Yeah.
Just a nice little distraction.
Yeah.
You know, it was just something to do.
That's genius.
Um, yeah, we, you know, we didn't have much on.
We thought, you know, um, Sophie, as someone who's also a parent of a young
child, could you imagine sitting there going, fuck, we've got all this spare time.
I just don't know what to do.
We're sitting here on the couch.
If there's only something we could do.
Every parent is hearing this and like jerking it
cause they're like, this sounds fucking great.
And you know what?
It is awesome.
Yeah.
I have no complaints whatsoever.
Yeah. How many times did your kid wake you up last night?
Yet zero.
Whoa, I see it.
Yep.
Pippa is really good through the mouth.
Yeah, but she will die one day.
And if you need to keep that in the back pocket.
I think about BJ dying regularly at the moment.
So then every then he's getting so many cuddles and walks at the moment.
And I'll just take you out at night.
And we'll go, you just come over here bud.
And he's just such a good boy.
And like normally that would work.
It was just such a, it was just so funny.
No, it was just so funny that Torbz is like, not like that.
He's like never ever nasty.
So I couldn't take him seriously.
And it wasn't like, I can't picture Torbz being nasty in a nasty way.
I could, I can picture him being nasty in a comical way, but I just don't think
he's got that genuinely mean bone in his body, except for when I plowed him this
morning, I've just like, I've never seen him yell, like he's just not like that
at all.
So literally being like, I'm grumbly.
I'm like, I just didn't make sense.
Now, can I just have a, thanks for sharing that vulnerable moment and I'm having a
vulnerable moment of my own.
Oh, do you need me to tickle your nose with my hair?
Baby care.
Sorry.
That's enough of it.
I've heard that was actually pretty hot.
Don't you think?
No.
Okay.
Not at all.
Okay.
Redacted.
My vulnerable thing to share is that I'm all messed up about repeating You Love to See
It.
I'm like, I'm in my own head after Maggie just dominated this week and I have doubled
up on a few and I'm just like a bit nervous that I've read this before, but I just love
it and if we've done it or you've done it, then it we're just gonna read it twice. Okay. Rachel Wood. Hi
Rachel. Would she? Oh um so I was chatting to Tom Wood's sister the other day. I love Tom Wood.
Yeah um and we were saying something about she's oh how's Mabel sleeping and I go oh she's sleeping
all right this week and I went oh touch wood and she goes excuse me and I went oh oh, she's sleeping all right this week. And I went, oh, touch wood. And she goes, excuse me. And I went, oh, no, I just-
That's funny for her though.
That's very good.
I know, but I felt like, oh, oh, sorry.
Yeah, that had to message Tom.
And I was like, just before you hear anything,
I'll tell Wood.
Oh, I wasn't cracking on you sister man.
Oh, you sister bro.
No, I wouldn't do that to you bro.
I spent the last nine years putting our three kids first,
says Rachel Wood, as you do when you're a parent.
Yeah.
Scheduling all their sporting commitments and social activities.
And there's a thing on the weekend.
Absolutely.
Completely neglecting my own interests as most mums do, she says.
Last week, a bunch of local mums said, hey, we're starting a mums touch football team.
Oh, sick.
For the mums.
Touch wood.
Touch wood.
Touch footballs.
Oh, Rachel touch wood.
So my instant reaction and isn't this a thing.
It's like, it's so ingrained to go.
Oh, no, I can't.
Well, I couldn't do that.
Yeah.
And then I went, I embraced my start the fucking blog energy and thought, fuck it.
Why not?
So I can let you know that I've just played my first game
of touch football in 22 years.
After a short 22 year break in her touch football career.
Although I'm hurting in places I haven't hurt
in a long time.
You love to fucking see that.
And Rachael would, I do love to see that.
Congratulations.
Yeah.
Oh, and it is so easy to put other things first
or just go, oh, well I couldn't possibly do that.
Even not as a parent, I just go, oh, well, you know,
like there's no way I could do that.
So I touch wood, those injuries don't hang around.
Good on you, Rachel.
Isn't it crazy though about like,
like I mentioned this so many times to Tony
that I'm going to sound like an asshole,
but I ran yesterday, I went for a run yesterday.
No, I love it. Tell me again. Like I just, but I want to Tony that I'm gonna sound like an asshole, but I ran yesterday, I went for a run yesterday. No, I love it.
Tell me again.
No, and I have.
But I wanna pump you up, you know?
But from going from a very small run,
I'm so sore in weird little nooks
like up in the fucking all sorts of places.
Yeah, but I mean, that's just as you're getting back
into anything, isn't it?
Yeah, so touch wood that.
Yeah, you've done that a couple of times now.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we get it. Okay.
I've got a love to see it here from Estella. Estella says, my 10 year old opened Spotify to
see the podcast I'd chosen for him. It randomly skipped to one of mine. So obviously there's a few
kids ones where it's like, you know, chatting about like stories or whatever. It skipped to one of
mine. I said, hang on, let me fix it. So it stays just on your stuff. And Estella's 10 year old said, oh, no, I know Tony and Ryan's not for me yet.
And even though I know the swear words, like I know I'm not allowed to listen,
but what about we make a deal and maybe I can listen to Tony and Ryan when I'm 14.
And Estella said that we shook hands and I said, I hope that he forgets.
And I probably should have gone like a higher age.
Yeah, so the thing about negotiations
is they throw out a starting point.
And then you negotiate up or down.
And then you're gonna find some middle ground.
Yeah, as she says, I wish I'd went with 18,
like Tony's movie marathons.
Yes, yeah, correct, correct.
Which is, I mean, I'll be honest,
very positive that we're thinking that, you know,
in eight years, the kids 10 at the moment,
in eight years we'll still be going strong.
And just like the movie marathons weren't,
I'd hate for our 10 year old friend here,
our audio nephew to be disappointed.
Do we know the audio nephew's name?
No, but I'm feeling Tom.
Okay.
Is it because we were talking about Tom Wood?
Yeah.
And it's coincidence chat.
One of Tom's sister's names, Estelle.
So I-
And Sophie's middle name.
One minute, Estelle Woods is my grandmother's name.
Well, Sophie is Sophie Estelle Woods.
So you can't touch Woods.
You know what I mean?
It's the S that really.
Oh, because spelling's never got me in the way of your life.
I'm on your side, Sophie.
Love you both.
So we're not going to be going in eight years.
I think it might be over today.
Let's do a whole segment about Sophie and Woods
and just like not reference Sophie be going in eight years. I think it might be over today. Let's do a whole segment about Sophie and Woods
and just like not reference Sophie the whole time.
Sorry, you're included.
All of those fun jokes were for you two.
Redacted.
When little Tom Woods
is 13 years old,
little Tom Estelle Sophie Woods is the 13 years and 364 days old.
That will be our last show.
That's when we'll finish up.
Spotify is over guys.
We're fucking hanging on for dear life over here.
We're fucking hanging on for dear life.
Yeah.
Tell us, maybe Estelle, if your son becomes a Patreon, then maybe we'll be able to keep going.
Yeah. I'll just-
If we could get the lights on.
In four years, I'll just be finishing that MBA.
11 years in.
In four years, I look at the fucking stand up paddleboard
with the tags still on it and I go,
maybe next year, sweetheart.
Now that I've got time not doing that podcast,
I can probably go on the paddleboard.
I take it all the way to Bali with us when we move there.
It's good for Marcella Reyes as I'm 89 years old.
89?
The year Sophie was born.
Is she Taylor Swift?
It's close.
When she-
Torbz also is 1989.
This hat is actually 1989 merch.
Taylor's version, obviously. Anyway,
um, you'll love to see all of that shit. Absolutely love to see.
I would recommend tuning in tomorrow because there's only three and a bit years left of this
show. Yeah. I mean, get them while they're hot, you guys. Um, we are back tomorrow though for
normal. I'll see you then. It would be good to listen to tomorrow, wouldn't it? Yeah, it would,
it would be, It would be good to listen to tomorrow, wouldn't it? Yeah, it would be good.
It would be good.
Love you, bye.
And just in case anyone wasn't sure,
Sophie's has a grandma.
Sophie's grandma.
Thank you so much.
She did?
No, she's like-
Oh, good for her.
I'd love to see that.
That's why you love to see it.
Yeah, love it.
Touch Woods that she still is tomorrow.
Do you mean wood?
I hate it here.
What's tomorrow?

I already said it.
And the answer's nah.
The order.
Love you, bye.
