Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. I started calling before I said hello. Who are we calling? I'm Ryan, this is Tony. We are calling Jess, who's in Sydney or Melbourne. Jess, we are. Hello. Hello, Jess. Oh my goodness, hi. Hello, whereabouts are you, Jess? Are you in Sydney or Melbourne? My money's on Sydney.

No, I'm in Victoria, but in Mertleford. Merttleford? Where is that? It sounds like something from an English novel. Yes, I've been down to Myrtleford. No, no, it's like near Wangaratta. Do you know Wangaratta? Oh, Wang, yeah.

Oh, out in the rudder. Yeah, yeah. You would have got close to Myrtleford the first day you bought your car, Tony, and you drove to get to that bakery? Oh, yeah, out in Carnton. Jess, is there someone in the background there? There's a little Jess hanging out with you. Yes, this is my son. How old is he?

What's his name? He's three. His name's Hudson. Hi, Huddy. Huddy, and is he what you would describe a three-nager? Oh, yes. Oh, my goodness, yes. I've heard the term, haven't experienced it myself,

but all the best, Jess. Jess, will you approve today's podcast? Yes, I'd love to. Legend. Hi, I'm Jess. I'm from Myrtleford and I approve this podcast. All right, happy new year coming up today. Something has transpired, um, topspired,ired, sorry, within our team.

Okay. Have we heard correspondence from the John Howards of the world? No. Doncaster, Westfield, they've gotten on board and they want to let us know something. No, something's transpired and I think it's something that people deal with day to day and I think it's a silent struggle and I'm glad

that we're talking about it. Are we revisiting Doncaster Shopping Town's park? It's a support group for people that have tried to park at Doncaster Westfield. That would actually be a hilarious skit to film like an AA meeting, like everyone sitting in a circle. I just have tried to park there so many times. And I thought I saw an opening but it was just a hatchback.

It was just a little car and then there so many times. And I thought I saw an opening, but it was just a hatchback. It was just a little car. And then there was a bike. Bikes can go fuck themselves. Oh, Tom and Ed. Sorry about that devil. Wow. Wow. Whoa.

Welcome to Confessions. It's a Tuesday. These are top confessions. People submit these. TonyandRyan.com.au. Please include all the details and information because we can't contact you about them because they are literally anonymous. Frustratingly anonymous.

I always think of the person that filled out the form was like, I've got this great story about a thing. Do you want me to tell you? And I'm like, I can't reply. This is the same when people go, can I ask you a question? And you go, well. Just did. You wasted your one.

Maybe next time. Oh, well. Just did. You wasted your one, you know. Maybe next time. Oh, good. So this is the ghost chat. Is ghost chat for you out there with dream chat? Like how do you feel about. See, I'm on the record as being anti-dream chat, but so much great stuff is happening in people's dreams recently that I'm like I'm coming around to it. Even.

But for me it's like get to the point though. Don't let me get lost in the details. But often the important part is like, and then I was wearing a red sweater, but later on it was a blue sweater. That's often like a pivotal detail in a dream, so you need to really settle in for the long haul on a dream chat. Okay, I'm still off dream chat. Yeah, okay. Ghosts, I'm open to it. I'm not like a the long haul on a dream chat. Okay, I'm still off dream chat. Yeah, okay.

Ghosts, I'm open to it. I'm not like a believer that I love a good story, a ghost story. Yeah. My child heard a rumour at their school that there were ghosts in the area. Oh. It was all the neighbourhood could talk about. Our area was haunted. Well, that's scary.

And as a kid as well. I'm still scared of the dark now. Tony, that's actually not a joke. Nah. Like I'm not having a yarn, like I'm scared of the dark. The following week, my son told his teacher, his grandmother, and the other parents at the school drop-off that he thought our house was also haunted.

Oh, my God. And the twist of the story is that the grandmother was actually that he thought our house was also haunted. Oh, my God. And the twist of the story is that the grandmother was actually dead and it was a ghost. No. That would be good, though. That would be good. That would be better than this. No. Remember that sound.

He told them all, oh, I heard some creaking and some banging and some ghost sounds coming from mum and dad's bedroom. Oh! Kids, I say the dandest things. So, Tony, I want you to play the role of. I can't. I want you to play the role of... I can't. I honestly... I want you to play the role of supportive parent,

and I will play the role of... How supportive am I being? Not that supportive, and I'll play the role of the young son. Mum, I heard that... Yes, sweetie. There's ghosts in the area and some places are haunted, and last night I heard some, like, banging sounds and some screams from your room.

So I'm scared that maybe your room's haunted. Oh, sweetheart, no, no, no. That was us scaring the ghosts away. So don't worry, they're gone now. Oh, how did you scare them away? Through the arse apparently. Sorry, I mean how did you scare them away, Mum? Oh, well, the banging you heard was us doing a special little magic trick

and scaring the ghosts away. What's the magic trick? Oogity boogity boast getaway ghost. Oh. Ah! That does make sense because when I asked Dad earlier, I said what happened last night and he said, yeah, we're doing the hoogity boogity.

Yeah. Oh. This is the thing about kids though, right? They ask these questions and they don't know what they're asking. You would just die. There would be a ghost because you'd be dead. What do you think that you would, like, because you're a dad now and obviously like Mabel's only just starting to talk

so she's not asking questions like that. But when's the point when you feel like you have to like, maybe it's only just starting to talk, so she's not asking questions like that. But when's the point when you feel like you have to, like, because obviously there's a point where you give, like, a PG answer when it's, like, not appropriate to share what is happening. But then, like, when is the right time to be like, we were fucking? Well, maybe it's not using that term.

Yeah, but you're not, like. First of all. Or is it the, like, well, mummy and daddy love each other very much. Like, is it that? Which is like makes me want to actually become a ghost myself. Even you saying that makes me, that's just awful. But is it that? Like, oh, mummy and daddy, like we were just like having a chat about Christmas present.

Like that's a lie. Okay. What I haven't thought about that age, which I'm guessing could be literally anywhere between seven and 12 or something. Yeah. What I have thought about though is when Mabel's 18 and old enough to know everything and whatever that I can make jokes about, I fucked your mum. Oh, fuck.

You've said that out loud. I'm just letting you know. Yeah. But I just think that'd be funny. I want to get past all the raising a child part and get to the part where there's like. Where you're friends. Yeah. Yeah.

Where you're mates. Yeah. This whole like, and for those playing along at home. This whole what? This whole time. Yeah, I wouldn't fucking end on this hole. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, fair.

Oh, you can end on this hole if you're like. Well, that's it. Well, not really. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, you can't handle this hole if you're like that. Well, that's not really good. Yeah. Yeah.

For those playing along at home, I was up from 1am until 4.30 through the night last night. I had to text these guys and I was like, be gentle. Coming in. Coming in frudge. I went back to bed at 5.30. You've had well. Yeah.

It was rough. So what I'm saying, this whole part can go fuck itself and I can't wait until I can have conversations. Yeah, that's fair. I think that's fair. I'm like gutted that I didn't get to be like best mates because my mum and I were like really like best friends, but I'm gutted that I didn't get to be like adult best friends

with my mum. Like when you kind of do talk about stuff like honestly, there would have been things where I was like, oh, I wouldn't ask my mum that. Like she's like, mum. Whereas like I feel like you get to a point where your like parents are people rather than your parents. I think that's when like when I go stay with like mum and my auntie

and uncle and stuff down the farm, it's not like I'm staying with an older generation. You're not with like, oh, like mum's here, keep it down or anything. It's like, oh, we're hanging out. It's actually the opposite with Uncle Dave. He's like, Ryan, another one? I'm like, fuck, no, I'm ready for bed or anything. It's like, oh, we're hanging out. It's actually the opposite with Uncle Dave. He's like, Ryan, another one? I'm like, fuck, I'm ready for bed. Yeah, yeah.

He's got a baby. He's like, mine are all grown up and gone now. Yeah, he's having a great time. We've got a confession here. Okay, I'm just going to read this first bit and you say, for some people it would be hot, for other people like massive red flag, not to yuck anyone's young, but I feel like everyone will have a reaction to this first sentence.

I met a guy on Grindr that refused to share a pic of his face. Yeah, okay. So it turns out that he wasn't out yet and, like, didn't know who he could trust, which is actually, like, quite valid. But when I hear dating app, oh, no, didn't know who he could trust, which is actually, like, quite valid. Yeah. But when I hear dating app, oh, no, I don't do pictures, you kind of go, what? Mine's the security thing.

Yeah. I kind of go, like, oh, what if I, like. Are you an 80-year-old dude and who's pretending to be a 20-year-old girl? Not even that. It's more like I don't know who I'm supposed to be meeting up with. Like, are you the person that I've been talking to? Because I actually don't know. For me, that's just, like, catfish energy. Yeah. So it's more the safety because I think there'd be people who with, like, are you the person that I've been talking to? Because I actually don't know. Because for me that's just like catfish energy. Yeah.

So it's more the safety because I think there'd be people who'd be like, oh, what if they're ugly? It's not that. It's actually the safety side of things for me personally. Yeah. But, like, I also would not be able to do the dating apps thing because they're just like. The judgment.

I'm not great on paper. Like, not super photogenic. I think I'm like charming in real life, but I don't think that someone would look at my face in a photo or me being like, I love to read and do craft. Like I don't think anybody's going to. I like to be in bed by 9pm in brackets, not that way. Sleeping, yeah.

Like, you know what I mean? Love's going out and having a good time. Nah. No, that's fine. I'll be the same. Yeah. I'll be the same. And I'm not, yeah, you know what I mean? Love's going out and having a good time. Nah. No, that's fine. I'll be the same. Yeah. I'll be the same. Like I, and I'm not, yeah, super photogenic.

So I don't think that anyone would go like, oh, like, yeah. So I don't think I would really thrive on the app anyway. I think you'd do all right. I think you'd do all right. I think you undersell yourself. Nah, I don't think so. I think I've got better game in text than I do in person. You can't even spell.

Shut your right down, mate. Is that a that a red flag yeah so if we're on a dating app i've actually read i've read an article about this and the spelling's off and you go it was like all these women were um interviewed and they said that if a um if the person they were chatting to couldn't um like spell properly or if they weren't using good grammar like that would turn them off. Really? Yeah. Bridget and I were talking about it if we broke up the other night and she's like, I feel like you had rizz when we met

and she got rizzed. But now she's like, you'd struggle because you've got no game. Yeah, but also when you don't have to worry about it, of course. You know, it's like a muscle. Got to stretch it, mate. You're out of form. You'd be able to rizz right back up. And I've always said that.

Thank you. Yeah. Thank muscle. Got to stretch it, mate. You're out of form. You'd be able to rizz right back up. And I've always said that. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Back to the confession. I met a guy on Grindr that refused to share a pic of his face. Random. He wasn't out yet. Didn't know who he could trust.

That's fair. But the rest of him looked fine. Fine? Oh, the rest of him's all right. Yeah. It was late. I was all revved up. So whatever.

35 minutes later, there's a knock at my front door. That's exactly what you ordered. Large pepperoni. Yep. And how. He opens the door and they both went white as a ghost. This isn't a ghost story. I was going to say, wow, ghost chat.

It's my high school biology teacher. Human biology. Question. What about the person who was showing their face, though? What do you mean? No, because it said like. Yeah, how would he not have known? Yeah, he would have known that it was the student, which is more creepy.

That is. Yeah, I didn't think about that. Because wouldn't that person. Well, he said it was year, like it was a high school tier and he's like, well, into late twenties. So maybe, I don't know. Oh, I don't know. When I opened the door, he looked embarrassed.

Cause he knew. I was also terrible at biology. So I was also embarrassed and thought he would judge me like, oh, that guy was shit. And like, they probably can't remember. He's since been over multiple times. Okay. I just, I'm like stuck on the fact that like surely the teacher, but you're right, I guess if you've got hundreds of kids

that go through the school, like you probably wouldn't remember all of them. And if you weren't great at biology, maybe you only took it in year eight and then you didn't take it again or whatever. Fuck. Surely you couldn't get past the fact that you'd once called them like Mr. Smith. And then, do you know, unless that's a bit of a thing.

Maybe. Mr. Smith. Turns out my biology exams weren't the only time he gave me a D. Well, that's a hot thing to say, isn't it? Something about biology being hard. I'm sure there's a joke there. Doesn't that be, yeah, so annoying if they're really good at biology and they know too much stuff and they just start explaining things to you.

Oh, yeah, nah, that's not for me. But, I mean. Oh, it's all stuck to your face. Yeah, that's because when the molecules are blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And the density of the thingy. Isn't biology plants? I also didn't do great at biology. Isn't biology plants?

But human biology is the. Well, biology is just like, yeah, like it includes plants. Is it everything? See, I didn't do it either. Yeah, I fucked Mrs. Smith too. Hi, my name is Jess. I'm from Myrtleford and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon.

You can check out our Patreon at any time. The link is in our show notes. We put lots of exclusive stuff. And people have asked if the Patreon and the Facebook group and the videos we post on Instagram and TikTok are the same. All different. All different. We also have a YouTube that's different. Very different. Which you can go and check a YouTube that's different. Very different.

Which you can go and check out. There's like lots of long form stuff in there. It's quite fun actually, YouTube. It is a good time. Yeah, I feel like, you know, back in the YouTube heyday when it was like. The heyday's on its way back. Oh, 100%.

YouTube is in a renaissance phase. It absolutely is. And I love that you just said renaissance twice. Renaissance era? Renaissance. What's the thing I'm trying to say? I don't know. Having a Renaissance?

Yeah. Okay. Well, you just said it's in its Renaissance period, which is like fine. Okay. Yeah, cool. Yeah. Anyway, Beck Carvalho. Thank you so much, Beck.

Thanks, Carvs. Beck. Sorry, I just said Bett. Matt Gleeson. The big Glees. Yay. Elise Agile. Thank you so much, Elise.

Charisma Smith. And Colleen Champ. Elise Agil. Thank you so much, Elise. Charisma Smith and Colleen Champ. Charisma Smith. We just talked about Mr. Smith from biology. It was Charisma's dad. Charisma. Wait for Charisma to find out that her dad's gay. Oh, God. Wait till the end of the year at Merry Charisma's.

Anyway. of the year at Merry Charismus. Anyway. Okay, I actually talked about this before. We all need to take a little bit of a deep breath because something's gone down. Is it Mr Smith? The biology chart's gone down. Last week, speaking of the Champion Tapas,

last week we had a live stream for Champion Tapas inside Patreon. So we do one a month where we kind of come up with a little bit of a theme. And this one, what did you call it? Okay, there's contention with the name because I wanted to say, like, Breakfast at Tiffany's and then make it like Breakfast at Tonyfie's. But it actually ended up saying Breakfast at Tony's Fanning. Yeah, which is very funny because, as I said, you can't take away but you can eat out.

Yeah, and then I put your face on Audrey Hepburn's body. It's very fun. Yeah, but the Tony Fanny was annoying because it underplayed my great Photoshopping. I just would have gone with Tiffa Tony's. Oh. Yeah, that would have been great to know. Fucking three weeks ago. But you'd already made the graphic and I was so proud of you.

Thank you. So I wanted to leave that. Anyway. But so we came up with the idea before really thinking about the logistics of like, oh, okay, well, if we're doing breakfast, probably need a cook. Yeah. Probably.

So we'll need a kitchen. So we were like, cool. We'll live stream from my house, my new house. Yep. Which is fine. And because it was breakfast. You guys all- Kathy Bates' Airbnb, I believe. Kathy Bates' Airbnb.

I need to get one of those wooden carved nameplates. You know how people have those out in the country? Anyway, and so it's like breakfast time. So it's 7 a.m. You, our new team members, Phoebe and James, all rock up at my house and we're getting set up for this live stream. Torb's my partner. He works from home.

So he was awake and was like, I'll just start work early and that way if you guys need me to give you a hem with anything or like grab Pippa or whatever. But he kind of was like, oh, I'll just start working and I'll like then come out when you've kind of started getting shit sorted. Yep. Because, you know, when you're like, oh, I'm in a new place,

I'm trying to figure things out and you enter another person into the mix, it kind of just like. Throws everything. There's just like a lot of new things happening when we kind of needed to make sure that the live stream was going to go ahead and we had all of the stuff we needed. Anyway, and so it was the first time that James and Phoebe had been to my house.

And I was like, oh, I'll take you guys like on a little tour. And so I'm like showing them whatever. And then we get to like the end room of the house, which is Torbz's office. Yep. And I go, oh, like Phoebe, this is Torbz. James, this is Torbz. Oh, actually, no, sorry. Let me actually fix that.

I said, and this is Torbz's office, oh, Phoebe James, this is Alex, or Torbz as you know on the pod, and that was kind of like awkward as hell. What do you mean? Because I'd all of a sudden thrown all these names in the air. Yeah, just tell me what to say. Well, this is the. Hey, you guys have your pick of the 64 options. Yeah.

You are a terrible host. Well, yeah. Did you make them take trash? Yeah. So the story of my partner Torbs is that when I was working in radio, there was another guy on the team called Alex. Can't have two Alexes. Commercial radio, there cannot be two of the same name.

Because you might as well just like cancel the show. Cancel it right up. Anyway, and so I once told a story about my boyfriend Alex and I went, oh well is your boyfriend the guy that works on the radio? And I was like, obviously not. Otherwise I would have said producer Alex who is my boyfriend or whatever. Anyway, and so Torbs is his nickname that all of his friends gave him. So I said, well, we can call Torbs Torbs. And then so the whole time of my on-air life, I guess, he's been Torbs.

And I think he quite likes the air of anonymity as well because he's like quite shy and quiet. Because no one knows his real name. He's Alex, A-L-E-X. Yes. And so the thing about Torbs being Torbs is that on the pod, no worries. In real life, if I called Torbs, Torbs in real life, he wouldn't turn around. He doesn't respond.

He just, I would never call him. What do I call him? Huh? What do I call him? You go between the two. Okay. But like it the two. Okay. But, like, it's fine. Yeah.

But he's kind of like, I don't know whether to introduce myself and back in a nickname. Yeah. Because... Does he love it or he just accepts that it was required because you can't have two Alex's? Well, because it was kind of required, but all of his mates call him Torbs. Really?

Yeah. So this is why he had a nickname. Because when they were like, does he have a nickname? I was like, oh, all of his mates call him Torbs. Really? Yeah. So this is why he had a nickname. Because when they were like, does he have a nickname? I was like, oh, all of his friends call him Torbs. And they went, great. Sure. So he's used to being called Torbs, but he just knows that I wouldn't call him Torbs. But when he's introducing himself to somebody, he goes, oh, my.

And he like panics about what to say. No. That's the worst. You need to go in confidently so that people then know what to say. No. Which is because you need to go in confidently so that people then know what to say. Yeah. Okay. So my name, Ryan John Dunn. I was called Dunny for the first 25 years of my life.

Yeah. Everyone in high school knew me as Dunny. Sometimes it was Ryan would get thrown around and people go, who? Oh, you mean Dunny? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I would never, ever introduce myself as Dunny because I just felt it was strange. But I think you just got to give an answer.

Like if I meet someone, I never went, oh, well, Ryan. And then you go, well, what the fuck is going on? But these guys call me, I just go, hi, I'm Ryan. And they go, okay. Especially because they don't know my last name's Dunn. They go, was there a toilet incident? Yeah. I'm going to be named after something.

And now that you go by Ryan John. Yeah. It doesn't matter to me. You're like, well, where does that come from? And it's just so confusing. But I think, I mean, there's two parts of this. When people self-proclaim their own nickname. I don't like that.

Awful. Shout out to Rockstar from Park or what was that school called? White Fries. Called himself Rockstar. No one else did. Yeah. Hi, I'm Rockstar. No, you're fucking not. You could say whatever you want about Rockstar because no one's ever called him that.

So it's completely anonymous. True story. But anyway, I think you just need to like confidently say one. And in this situation. He fucked it up. No, I did. Because I said, oh, this is Alex. Like Alex is off first.

This is Alex. And I was like, oh, sorry. Like Torbs, haha. And then what felt like hours went by. And we're all four of us standing in this room. He's sitting, which is just like the worst power dynamic. Three people standing here sitting down. No one knows your name.

No one knows. Pippa's on fire. He's like, could you have knocked? I was actually watching a pretty intense adult video before you walked in. Got a little Torb of my own going on down here. And then I was like, I realized that it was my fault, but it's pretty early in the morning. I'm like, fuck, I don't really know what to do.

We did that a lot. Because the time zone is the rest of the world. We streamed at 8 a.m., so we were all turning up at 6.30 or 7. Yeah, so it's really early, and Torz was like pretty quiet, like I said. So he didn't really know how to fix it. Anyway, and those time goes past. Everything's just set on fire. And then producer Phoebe, she goes, so what should we call you?

And I went, either is fine. Tony! Tony! The worst thing you could do. Oh, no. Make up any name. It doesn't even have to be Alex or Torbs. It could be literally fucking anything. Yeah.

Because anything is better than whatever you like. Than either. Yeah. And so there's like then another awkward moment where I go, Alex, at the same time. No, I said Torbs. And at the same time, Alex goes, Alex is fine. And it was just that, like, so literally, Torbs is in outer space by now.

Like, he's taken right off. And also, you invented his space. He can't leave the room. No, and we're blocking him in because we're standing in the doorway and he's, like, sitting up, like, looking at us like this, like a little dog. And we're, like, standing around him. I hate this.

I hate this. And I was like, oh, anyway, like, we'll go to, and now. And he still hasn't been resolved? I don't think so. I mean, do I hate this. And I was like, oh, anyway, like we'll go to, and now. Hey, it still hasn't been resolved? I don't think so. I mean, do you guys. Hang on a sec. James and Phoebe are in the room. I'm going to count down from three.

And all four of us are going to say what we call Tony's boyfriend. What, on the pod or in person? In person. Three, two, one. Alex. Alex. Well, Phoebe, you can't go. For the record, James said Torbs.

Phoebe said. Phoebe's in outer space with Torbs now. Don't you judge Phoebe. She's like this because of what you did to her. I know, I did this. I didn't even ask, like, what should we call you? I asked, like, what would you prefer? Like, what would you prefer to be called? And he was like, yeah, I did this. I didn't even ask, like, what should we call you? I asked like, what would you prefer? Like, what would you prefer to be called?

And he was like, yeah, I don't mind. And at the same time he said something, I said something. Because I was just really trying to be like, oh my God, like, I've created this horrible atmosphere in here. I don't want to upset anyone's feelings by calling them the wrong name. Exactly. This is awful. Yeah, it was. This is awful.

It was. And anyway, and then,, you know, when like after something like that happens and you kind of just like, we need to move past this. So I, we like left the room. Yeah. Oh, Pippa's dead. Oh, my God. Anyway. And then like, so we're outside and we're like, we just need to get past this.

And then, so we're all working. And then Torbs is like, oh, I'll go out and be barista. Like, oh, I'll go out there. Someone knows how to host. Make everyone. Yeah. I'm just asking people to take trash home. And Torbz is like, I'll come out and make coffees for the crew.

And isn't that just a way to win guests over? It really is. Oh, I'll do coffees. You guys are working. Anyway. And so everyone's like, oh, do you want to go? He's like, do you want a coffee? Everyone's like, oh, yeah, I'd love one.

And anyway, so then he goes, oh, Phoebe, here's your coffee. And she goes, thanks. Because she's still between this outer space on fire rocking a hard place. You don't have to say anything, right? You can just say thanks. No, but she'd already started to say it. The uplifted bit. Thanks.

It wasn't the, oh, thanks. It was thanks it was like i thought that something was going to come out the other end because she stopped this end so quickly so given everything that's happened at the house which sounds harrowing how did i miss all this by the way oh you were late so sorry to bring that up but you don't sound like you're sorry at all to bring it up. You actually sound quite proud. Was there an outcome? No, so no one knows his name.

We're just going to call him Bob from now on, I guess. Bob's your uncle. No, he's my boyfriend. No, we're talking about Torbs. Oh, my God, he's fucking your uncle. Uncle. Don't. No.

Because. Yeah. No, okay, so we'll call calling Bob maybe from now on in person. Not on the pod. So there'll still be Torbs on the pod, Alex to me, Bob for you guys. And that's as clear as I can make it. Yeah, yeah. It's quite obvious.

You guys are the idiots for not understanding. Yeah, I don't know how much clearer I can make it for you guys. I've got to love to see it. I suspect you've got the same one, though, the way you. Melissa Ann? Melissa Ann. Should we do a. No, you've got the same one though. Melissa Ann? Melissa Ann. Should we do a No, you go. Take it in turns?

You go. Well, this is one huge you love to see because we've only got one for today. I'll hustle something. No, I want you to listen to mine while I'm doing it. Give me my full attention. Okay, go. Melissa says after 15 years of dreaming and feeling like I couldn't do it or wasn't allowed to do it I spent 14 days exploring Vietnam on a motorbike solo.

Incredible. Huge. Sweaty. And I am someone who, like, in the past has not been very confident to, like, do things on my own. I once said to Ryan that I hadn't been to a music festival because no one had ever invited me. And he was like, you know, you can just buy tickets.

And I was like, but it's not about that. It's like the... Why isn't it? So for me, when I saw that line just buy tickets. And I was like, but it's not about that. It's like the. Why isn't it? So for me, when I saw that line, I didn't think I was allowed to. I went, this is a Tony thing. It is. Can you explain that to me? I think like the permission of going and doing something crazy,

if it's maybe not your, you know, when you get like compartmentalised in your life and people go, oh, you're quiet or you're sporty and you think like everything you have to do has to like amount to that like personality type someone gave you once. I'm understanding the theory but I've never associated with it. Well, I think it's probably more prevalent for women because we're kind of told, nope, this is where you fit in. You go, okay.

I'm like I'm not going to upset the status quo. And so for me, I've like held back from doing a lot of things because I go, oh, well, I couldn't do that. That's for tough people. I'm just quiet. Or like, you know, that's not the kind of person I am. So I agree with Melissa on the like, oh, I just, oh, it wouldn't be safe.

So what's the moment? Is it like just a Band-Aid rip or something gives you a little push? Like she said, for 14 years she's been thinking about it and then one day you just go, you know who am i waiting for fuck it i'm booking a flight maybe it's that life's too short thing like it was a really like after my mum passed away i was like grieving for a really long time and only in the last couple of years i've been like life is short and i've just got to do stuff um but anyway so melissa says um it's been the best experience i'm so freaking proud of myself.

It was more than just riding a bike. I've learnt, seen and been part of this amazing and at times confronting culture. To top it all off, I found some Vietnam nail clippers in the airport. Definitely my favourite part of the day. Which I thought was my favourite part. Just to see all the life-altering, changing moment.

And these nail clippers. And let me just tell you, by the time you get back from Vietnam, the chance of those nail clippers still working are fucking slim. Oh, yeah, there's no way. And don't send them to our office because Lord knows we've got enough tourist fucking nail clippers in this joint. But Melissa, I'm really proud of you for doing that. That's really, really cool.

Check out this video I've just sent you, a little Instagram post. Now, it seems beautiful, but I've got questions. And it's unlike Debbie down at Ryan to, you know, steal someone's fun. But can you just explain what's happening there, Tony? Okay, so there's a man on a plane that says, this man bought a ticket and boarded a flight he wasn't taking just to make sure his parents were comfortable. So he bought a ticket, goes on the plane, goes,

Mum, you all good? You're sitting here and you've got your jumper. Like you're tucked in. Yeah, can I clip your thing in? Make sure you're all good. Are your bags at the top? I know you can't reach. I'll pop your bag up there.

And then this guy, excuse me, sir, when will you arrive? Can you get? And so it seems beautiful, but there's some questions being thrown around in the comments section. Oh, okay, yeah. Because then he walks back in the comment section. Oh, okay. Yeah. Because then he walks back to the front of the plane to leave. Yeah. But someone goes, or is he just going back to first class?

There's also a few flight attendants being like. We would do that. Yeah. Just let us know, bro. All good. Hey, can you just help my. Yeah. That's literally our job to help people to their seats.

I call bullshit. And when you, if you say like, I require a bit of assistance because, like, I've got kids or, you know, when they let you board first. Bridget went with Mabel to the US, just the two of them. She said, I'm going solo with a kid. They're like, all good. We'll help you with the luggage. We'll help you with what you need.

And they took care of it all the way. And so a few flight attendants had their backups in the comments. And you would. Yeah. There's some other people being like, like, tell me you have too much money without telling me. You've got, oh, I'll just book a flight just to make sure you can put your belt on.

Like, I reckon she fucking is okay. Or if you're that old and decrepit that you can't sit in a seat. Is this how you love to say it? Or are you being nasty to this person? Well, I'm just, these are the questions being asked. The thing, though, is, like, you know when sometimes you have had, like, a really traumatic experience? Yeah. Or a really bad experience is like, you know when sometimes you have had like a really traumatic experience or a really bad experience, like you

try and do something and it just doesn't go right and you go like, I just can't do this by myself and you just do need that support person because like... Similar to before, just a little... Yeah, like the flight attendants going, oh, we would help with that. Maybe they had one that didn't. Yeah. You know, like you just never know

or maybe there was another person that needed more help or something so then they didn't get the attention they needed. Like I do. Can I run you through my emotions? Mm-hmm. This is, it starts with me watching the original clip. Yeah. And then you'll hear me go through the comment section,

which we're raising the questions that I've just raised. Yeah. Oh. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh. Nah. And that's what happened.

So is that how you love to see it, though? Okay. I'm just reading the questions, bro. Yeah. Don't shoot the messenger commenter reader. Well, Maya, I'd love to see it was your one. Keep that in mind. I've hustled this up in fucking no time.

And I'd like to play that card. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, you love to see you working so hard. Keep that in mind. I've hustled this up in fucking no time. And I'd like to play that card. Yeah, okay. Yeah, all right. Well, you love to see you working so hard. Thank you. Well done. On the fly. That's the first post that comes up in Instagram.

Yeah, well, that'll do. Tomorrow on the show. I don't even know how to go about saying this. I just want you to appreciate. I appreciate you every day and I love you so much. Something's happened with us that you don't know about yet. Oh, God. No, you haven't done anything wrong.

You're not in the wrong. Okay. I just want you to appreciate. We'll decide together what we're going to do tomorrow on the show. But I want you to appreciate that I could have just not said anything and you would never have known. So even if you don't like what's happened, I want you to appreciate that I had the balls,

for lack of a better word, to actually just bring it up and be honest. Okay. Because, yeah. Yep. But it's not bad. You just said it's not bad. It isn't bad, but it's like we need to come to a conclusion. Okay.

We need to make a decision. Yeah. Okay. Yep. Great. I'm embarrassed. Okay. Yep. Great. I'm embarrassed. I'm nervous. So is this something that you've done that?

Yes. Okay. Great. All right. Yep. That may or may not involve you depending on what you want to do. Okay. Great.

Yeah. Well, I'm in decision-making mode tomorrow. I've decided. Great. Yep. Looking forward to it. We'll talk to you then. Love you.

Bye.
