Oh, welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Arthur Tony Lodge. Why have you got a sense of urgency in your voice? What's going on? Because I already pressed call. Oh, no. Oh, no. We're calling Ross, who is in Nottingham. Ross. Ross! Hi.

Hello, Ross. Sorry, we're in a rush because I accidentally called you before. Ryan, he called when we weren't ready yet. Yeah, it's all mixed up. I believe you're studying, Ross. What are you studying? I'm doing economics with international finance and banking. Oh, that's Ryan's area. I might jump off the phone because that's not my area. Even the word international just makes things feel big and fancy, doesn't it? I think Ross might actually be a spy.

What do you need to know international finance for? Yeah, what's going on? Well, we need to know how we can best use my money abroad because then I can go on holiday there. Yeah. Oh, so you're just a big currency exchange. What did you say? A big currency exchange.

Sorry, yeah. No, Ross is a good guy. If everyone listening, if you need a tax haven, I feel like Ross is your guy. Oh, don't say that. We're all moving to Bermuda. No, we're not. Or Morocco. No, we're not.

And Ross is our advisor. Hey, Ross, before we get to the tax chat, will you approve this podcast? Oh, absolutely. Legend. I don't want to be involved in this. Cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching. Hi, it's Ross from Nottingham, and I approve this podcast. Absolutely. Legend. I don't want to be involved in this. Hi, it's Ross from Nottingham and I approve this podcast. All right, coming up today.

Remember where you were for this episode. You can also watch today on the Spotify app. Remember, because Grandma Betty, Tony's archenemy, has some important intel that we all need to know and I think we'll all be better off for knowing this information. And you'll be like, fuck, that was a close call. If I didn't know that, I could have been fucked. Fucked. Yeah, that's a close call. If I didn't know that, I could have been fucked. Fucked. Yeah, that's coming up soon.

I like that. My nephew is just about to go on his first school camp. And it's brought all of these memories right back. Do you, Ryan, and you listening, do you remember going on camp when you were at school? Do you have fond memories of that so i think the first school camp i went to was in philip island yeah and anyone in victoria has probably been to that same camp yeah you know it's got the ropes course and all those classics

a classic yeah but here's what i remember we're probably in grade three yeah you're there for two nights yep the first night you're not sleeping much because it's so exciting. So exciting. You talk to all your friends. Yeah. What did you guys bring? You know, all that kind of stuff. What?

Okay. Just me. No, but you don't want to go to sleep because you don't want to miss out on the fun. Yeah. And we used to do like the roll call. So you're all laying there at night and you're like, Andy. He's like, yeah, I'm still awake. Kingy.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm still awake. And it's like so exciting because you're staying up late he's like yeah i'm still awake kingy yeah okay yeah yeah i was like and it's like so excited you're staying up late and all your friends are in the same room and it's crazy but then the second night the entire camp is so fucked because no one's done the ropes course you've done that but no one slept at all the night before oh but you're doing like activities the whole time like they fuck it they run you ragged when you're at camp. Was there a teacher that was always like the one who would like, guys, it's night time.

Go to sleep, please. Girls, if you can't get it together, we'll have to separate you. Yeah. That was why I got that because I didn't fucking shut up, ever. Yeah. Yeah. And would they come down and give you that speech in their serious voice and then, but you knew they were just walking back to the teacher's area.

To have a fucking vino? Hammered. I've never met a sober teacher on camp. Literally. There's no way. But I reckon they're egging themselves on like, oh, why don't you go down and scare them? Yeah.

Here you go. Oh, guys, I'll do the scary one. Let me do it. You know, they probably want to do it. Yeah. And all the other ones are like. Yeah. It's camp for them as well. Yeah, they probably want to do it. And all the other ones are like. Yeah. It's camp for them as well.

Yeah, they're loving themselves. So do you, if you were like year three or four, how old are you? Like nine? Nine or ten, I guess. So ten, that's how old I was when I went on my first camp and my nephew, he's ten as well. And they get this list of like stuff to pack because it's like, oh, make sure you bring your toothbrush, make sure you bring your toothpaste,

two sets of pyjamas, five pairs of jocks. Two sets of pyjamas? Is he planning on shitting himself? No, but, like, you know, but the school gives a list of, like, shit to bring, and they did that for us as well. And on the list was deodorant. Oh, yeah. And my sister said to me, like, oh, it's actually,

like he doesn't wear deodorant yet because you don't really need it. We don't get BOE until a bit later. Yeah. But I think one camp memory is I feel like all the boys just got their first ever can of Lynx and ended up just fucking hosing the place down because it was this new exciting thing. You're like, oh. Yeah, exactly right.

And so my sister texts me and says, we've now got a can of Lynx Africa in our house. Yeah, welcome, sweetheart. And it's like this big moment because, like, he's wearing deodorant now because, like, the school has, like, introduced it to all of the year fives at the same time or whatever it is. Lynx Africa, the bitches on that camp better be ready.

Well, the ad was like, bow chicka, wow, wow. It was like, oh, look out. How am I going to get the ladies? Put some Lynx Africa on. And they just start flying across the room into you. Oh, my God. And it brought back a memory, not just of smelling fucking potent amounts of Lynx Africa,

but it brought back a memory because my first time going on camp, deodorant was on the list. And it was my first time wearing deodorant as well. Was it an impulse? Well, so this is what I was going to ask you. What am I showing you now? Impulse, baby. So cans of impulse.

And this is like what the hot girls wore. Oh, yeah. It was like a cool girl thing and it was like, oh. It's the girls, Lynx Africa. It is. It actually is. And because Impulse I don't think is even actually deodorant. It's like a body spray.

I'd say it's more of a toilet spray with a different scent. Yeah, which I copped in the face the other day. Yeah, well, there's sort of like, and this is the thing with Lynx Africa. Sorry, notice the low res photos. They're all from the early 2000s. I couldn't get a clearer photo than that. Don't you dare waste a megabyte on these images. I'm like getting them.

I'm like, fuck, I cannot get anything clearer than this. So I didn't realize until a bit later the difference between like stuff that smells to maybe mask other smells and then genuine like antiperspirant. Which like stops you from sweating. Sweating and leaves you with a nice little scent. Yeah. This doesn't stop anything.

No. It just tries to cover it. It ends up being BO plus like sugary sweet body spray. And like you said about Lynx Africa, you'd fucking gas yourself because the amount that you'd be wearing, you'd all be spraying it around each other. The thing is when there's like four blokes in the same room, they've all got, one's got Lynx Africa, one's got Lynx Phoenix.

That was the blue one. That was my favourite one. My high school boyfriend Josh used to wear that. But they're all just mixing in the air and just combining into this dang mixture. It's sickening. But just seeing these impulse cans just reminds me of like a blue light disco. Yes.

It reminds me of the school camp and just what an era. What an era. And so we're like- Should we go and get some like clothes from Seprey? Seprey. The pink bags. Everyone used to use the pink bags. Get some tight white pants.

Anyway, and so when I've like gotten my list to go on year five camp and I'm 10 and we've got got there's deodorant on the list and all the girls I know are going to get this and this is like for cool girls. And my mum goes, oh, you need deodorant. Oh, yep, cool. Pop this in your toilet bag. I'm going to show you a photo of what I got to bring to school camp.

What deodorant is this? It's Young Gravy's worst nightmare. It's called Mum Dry. So this, I'm 10. I've got to take this deodorant that is called Mum. So it's like old lady deodorant. I can already smell the floralness. And it's antiperspirant.

So it's not a fun body spray. It's an actual antiperspirant. It's a roll-on. And that roll-on, when you're that age, just feel like the lamest, soggiest shit ever. Yeah. And I go, Mum, I've got to take this feel like the lamest, soggiest shit ever. Yeah. And I go, mum, I've got to take this with me. She goes, yep, like that'll get it done.

Then I realise, like, it looks like a bit funny. And I go, mum, like, what is this? And she goes, oh, well, like, I don't have a fresh one to give you. She gave me a used roll-on deodorant that was half empty or half full, depending on how you want to look at it. How do you look at it, sweetheart? And the sheet being used, it probably had like a straight fucking armpit hair on it.

It's got four rolls left in it. Yeah. And she goes, that's one a day. One a day per pic. You're there for two days, left, right, left, right, come home again. So all these girls, they've got this cool girl fucking body spray and I've got the mum deodorant. That's been fucking used

she couldn't even give me a backup one that hadn't been used yet she's giving me a used half full fucking mum dry deodorant let me teach you something about the priorities of a lodge here we go ryan's never met my mum. Should we add that for context? And it's not on her being rude. Oh, yeah. Even though she never fucking replies to my text messages. Well, I guess she is rude. True or false?

Your mum drove a beautiful BMW. True. How much was a BMW back in the day? 30 grand, 35 grand? I have no idea. These days money though. It just for inflation, I'm going to say it was a $75,000 car. How much for a can of Impulse?

Back then, maybe two bucks. Yeah. $3. So on today's prices, $5.50. Yeah. Your mum, heaven forbid, wouldn't. No, I mean like. Not like that.

Wouldn't spend $5.50 on a can of Impulse, but would spend $75,000 on a BMW and then probably went, oh, we can't just be like buying impulse cans willy-nilly on impulse. So I don't think it was about the money. I think it was more that she goes, that'll be fine, Tony. Like we've got this at home already. Like you're packing now. That's what we've got.

And she probably also was like, I don't know what to fucking buy you. But it was more the fact that it was all the. So tell me what happened when you got there though. Oh, I buried it in the bottom of my bag. And I'm pretty sure I said to Lauren Baker, oh, can I borrow your impulse on the first day? And then the next day I said to Claire Anderton, can I borrow your impulse?

Just, oh, sorry, I don't know where mine is. My celebrity in the toilet. Don't think I used it. So I probably stunk. Have the Spice Girl flavour? Oh, Claire did. She had the white Spice Girl one. And that's why Claire was fucking very popular with the Lynx Africa boys.

Lynx Africa boys. You get what you pay for. And I paid nothing. Hi, it's Ross from Nottingham, and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout-out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon. Tameka Monteford. Good on you, Tameka. Thanks, Tameka.

Thank you. Kimbo Baggins. Like Bilbo Baggins from Lord of the Rings. Miles Lavin. Sorry. What are you chewing? Yeah. So I made myself a coffee.

Stop making that noise. Sound like a fucking horse. Don't do it again. What could become chewy in a coffee? You know, how long can you have that, you know, that milk, how long after opening? Yeah, didn't you open a fresh one though? Yeah, but maybe I didn't use it.

Like I got a fresh one out of the cupboard, but maybe I didn't like use it. Is there milk in there? And that's it, milk and coffee? Anyway. I thought maybe you'd put a cookie in there or something. No. The devil.

James has just gone over to the. You didn't use it. Didn't use the new milk. No, you used the old one. Sorry, who was the champion tapas? I don't think I can move on. I thought that you'd put a cookie in there and you're like, ooh, save that for later. I don't know.

You were asking about sugar before, so I was like, did you put a biscuit in there just to fucking effervesce in there? Who were the champions? I don't think. I'm so sorry. What do we do? Do we need an adult? It's showbiz, baby.

The show must go on. All right. Kimbo Baggins. Don't have another sip. You can see the chunky bit, but if I drink around it. Don't. Oh, I nearly spilt it. Now, see there?

See how you can see the lumpy parts? Show me. No, show me. Yeah, so I'll just pass it back. No, take that away. Pass it back. That's fucking disgusting. I can't without my coffee.

I just won't have that bit. I'll drink around it. No, you'll make yourself so sick. No, see that? The lump's just over there. Yeah. Not my best coffee. Who are we thanking?

Let's talk about the priorities of a dun. Of a dun. Go on. So I got fucking, my mum got chewed out before, God rest her soul. Can we just work on the terminology, please? Can we just work on the terminology, please? And you're going to eat a chewy coffee and eat was said on purpose. I think you need to tip that out.

That needs to go to Jesus. It's its time. What did Jesus do to you to deserve that? Mate, don't keep drinking that. That's fucked up. That's actually upsetting. That's worse than jizzing in the fish tank. I will man... Some might say. I will

mansplain some things to Tony from time to time and get on my high horse, but I will never tell you what you must and must not do. I think everyone will agree that you must not drink that. All I'm saying is sometimes you can give suggestions and, like, give your thoughts, but we don't tell others

how they live their life on this show. That's not what we do. That milk is telling you not to drink it. That was really disgusting. Mmm. That was really disgusting. I don't really know why you're being stubborn about keeping the coffee. It actually doesn't. I feel like we need to unpack the fact that you're being stubborn about that. Admit that you're wrong.

It's not me that's wrong. It's the milk. Exactly right. We're on the same team. We're against the milk. Kimbo Baggins, good on you. It's tart versus big milk. Yes, it is.

It is. We're on the same team. I don't want you to drink that. That milk needs to get a fucking life and fuck off. Fuck you, milk. That's what I'm saying. Don't get out of my friend. That's what I'm saying. Don't you do that to my friend mil i had to

say that to one of my mates uh at the party last weekend get out of my friend my friend uh miles lavender good on you miles jackie ha and nathaniel phillip not nathan phillian yeah nathaniel phillip yeah people yeah easily confused all good oh mate i'm fine are you okay i'm just worried Philian, Nathaniel Philiband. Easily confused. Mate, I'm fine. Are you okay? I'm just worried about you. On Sunday we're doing a live stream and we're doing self-care on Sunday afternoon. Yeah, Ryan's going to be dying. Can I just say

that it doesn't have to be just Tony and I doing the self-care. If you'd like to put a face mask on. We'd love it. Because I know a few people last time did the art along with us. Yes. So you can do do it with. Okay. All right.

We're moving on. Moving on. Actually, can you just give us like a nice, beautiful mindfulness countdown from five so we can just all have a breath? Five, four, three, two, one. Imagine this. Imagining. You wanted to buy something in particular for ages,

but it's a little bit pricey. You know, that's probably something in everyone's life. Like, oh, geez, wouldn't that be good? But oh, I don't know. Fresh milk, for example. I probably don't need it because he lives, but like, geez, wouldn't that be good? Fresh milk, for example. I probably don't need it because he lives, but like, geez, wouldn't that be cool? Yeah.

And then you see it pop up on Facebook Marketplace. And this person goes, oh, I used it once. It doesn't fit. They're just trying to move it on and it's like half the price of what it is and you just go, fucking here we go. Yeah, or when people don't know the value of what they've got. Oh, I've got this. Someone gave it to us or like my mum gave it to me or whatever. Fucking here we go. Yeah, or when people don't know the value of what they've got. Oh, I've got this leopard.

Does anyone, yeah, $200. Someone gave it to us or like my mum gave it to me or whatever. Did they realise this was worth two grand? That's when you know that's a real keeper. Yeah. What do they call it? What's that big fish? A brie? A salmon?

A tuna? A shark? A great whale? Do you know what I'm saying? The white whale? Yeah, I guess so. But it's like that big fish that they catch, the marlin. And that's like a trophy fish.

Trophy fish. Anyway. You message them. Bang. It's yours. They say, can you pay $100 deposit? You go, yep, all good. Then you rock up to collect it and you pay the rest when you get there.

Yeah. But then you turn up and there's a sign on the door that says, you have been scammed. This has happened in Perth. Tony and I have read this article. The sign says, we are not selling items on Facebook Marketplace. We've had all sorts of people just like you turn up and we're really sorry we've contacted the police and so should you but please don't take

it out on us we're just as frustrated and annoyed as you are i bet they are we're so sorry but please don't interrupt us in our home it's already happened over 20 times so basically people are just taking their deposit and they're just fucking disappearing into the ether of the internet and no one knows where they are and they've given a fake address. Yeah. This scam has been running in Perth for months. So many Perth people have lost so much money.

What a fucking ruse. Wild, wild west over there. It's a wild, wild west. Yeah. Now, when Tony and I read this article, true or false, Tony Lodge, born and raised in Perth, you went, oh, that's cute. Perth's got internet scams now. Yeah.

Because some have accused Perth of things take a little bit longer to get to Perth than they do here over east. I believe you said recently three hours and 100 years behind or something like that. They're going to be so upset when they find out about Kurt Cobain dying, honestly. You know how they just didn't have COVID in Perth? Yeah.

Actually, that was really hard for me because all my family and friends there, they're like, it's really not a big deal. And we went through the longest lockdown yet. And they didn't go to lockdown at all. And they're like, it wasn't that hard. I'm like, well, it wasn't fucking you. Yeah. But in 100 years when it gets to you, then you'll fucking hear about it.

Yeah. Ironically, Tony and I went to Perth for a day and got COVID. And got COVID, yeah. We brought it with us except someone gave it to us. Yeah. Maybe we're the best. No, it wasn't us. It wasn't.

I take that back. But when you hear Facebook marketplace scam, Tony, what? My thing with this story, which I have read, this is not the first time I'm hearing of it, obviously horrible. I do find like a bit of Facebook marketplace is like some of it's not worth the effort. Like you go, oh, I'm not actually going to like bother messaging with this person backwards and forwards.

I'm like sending a deposit or whatever because this thing's $25. Like who cares? But read the sign again to me. What is the first line of the sign, like right at the top of the sign? We are not selling any items on Facebook Marketplace. You have been scammed. By us. What?

There's no fucking way that it's not them. What do you mean? No, there's no fucking way. Oh, someone's using our address. We're not really sure why. It's fucking them, 100%. So you're- Why would they keep using the same address?

They're hiding in plain sight. Predators are among us. It's the last person you'd expect. Yeah. Because then people go up there, they go, I'm so fucking sorry that this is happening to you guys. They go, yeah. And they're dabbing their finger, their Rolex is on their wrist.

It's got to be them. Yeah, I reckon that they know and to you guys. They go, yeah. And they're dabbing their finger. Their Rolex is on their wrist. It's got to be them. Yeah, I reckon that they know and it's them. Well, apparently if you read deep into the article of the Daily Mail and dodge all the bikini pictures. And the ads for fucking Viagra. Yeah. Apparently it's linked to a bank account in Melbourne and the bank's investigating and blah, blah, blah.

Anyone can open a fucking bank account. I think because anytime something gets linked back to the house, they go, oh, well, you know, that's the house they're using. Yeah. But, like, if you were a scammer, you wouldn't keep sending people to the same address. Wouldn't you? No, I don't think so because people would then get onto it.

Whereas if you were just, like, randomly dotting around and the same suburb or even, even like number one, number three, number five, number seven, you know, and you did the same. Work down the street. Yeah. But like you're not sending people to the same house every time. That's just nasty. But maybe they're copying and pasting and it's just like the, you know.

I reckon they're copying and pasting their own fucking address. I reckon it's them. It's got to be. Are you willing, not that we'd ever like waste the resources of Western Australia, but are you willing to call Crime Stoppers? No. Oh, my God. And go, guys, I don't know if you've thought of this.

It's fucking them. The first thing, when I was reading this story, I was like, they did it. Yeah. A hundred percent. That's my gut feeling anyway. I've been to Perth. I know what it's like. But I just don't because I just don't think you would keep

using the same address. Let us know in the episode thread if you think Detective Lodge is onto something here. What do you think? With this new evidence that's been brought to light. It did also cross my mind. Did it really? Because I'm watching, I'm reading it and I'm like,

oh, turn it on, Carla Conti. Like fucking, do you know what I mean? Yeah. Yep. Yep. Okay. Oh, we've been scammed. I'm so sorry someone's taking your money.

We did. There's a Mercedes in the the driveway no one's using half empty deodorant you know they've got brand new that's how you knew i didn't think it was them and then i saw them roll up yeah with freshly purchased impulse cans and i was like something's i thought yeah they know what they're doing yeah i agree um i don't wish anyone to be scammed so i don't wish that it's actually fucked up isn't it yeah grandma betty tony's arch enemy oh has some very important information to share if you want to avoid anything like this happening to you internet scam here's the heads up oh grandma betty with goods This is what Grandma posted on Facebook yesterday.

Send me the deposit for this piece of furniture. It's her. She's doing the scam. The bank account in Melbourne, it all adds up. No, no. But this may sound familiar. Don't forget tomorrow starts the new Facebook rule when they can use your photos.

Oh, grandma. I do not authorize Facebook or any entity associated with Facebook to use my photos, information, messages, or posts past or future. With this statement, I inform Facebook that it is strictly forbidden to disclose or distribute and any actions against me and my profile will be a violation of privacy punishable by law. You should also do this. Copy and paste.

Hold your finger anywhere on this message and copy will appear. Copy and paste this in a new post of your own and tag your family members so they find out as well. Because you'd hate for them to get caught up in this. This will bypass the system. Will it? Should I do it now? What system? He who does not will be left with nothing. Now, when I saw this, I was like, well, I've got to get the word out. Did you copy and paste it so that you knew that you could? I copied and pasted it onto my computer so I could read it to everyone right now. This is actually going to get to more people. I was like, if only I knew someone who could reach the people.

Tarpers, I don't want your photos being used. No, I would be heartbroken if that happened. Even though when you signed up for Facebook, you literally clicked a fucking box that said use anything you fucking like. Hey, don't you use that voice against Grandma Betty, my best friend. Second best friend. Sorry, man. Yeah.

Sorry. Don't forget your roots. Don't you think, though, that that kind of shit is like, oh, well, just in case. Like when you see those, it's like those little things that you go, oh, just in case. Oh, I bet it's probably not. Yeah.

But just in case. Or maybe, oh, I mean, what's the harm? Remember when there used to be like an email and you had to forward it to 20 people? Forward it, otherwise you won't have sex for a year or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, and like I was in a drought already. I was like, I can't afford another year.

I can't risk another year. Yeah, and I remember I forwarded this because I did the same and I read it and I'm like, this sounds like bullshit, but. Oh, just in case. But more like if all I have to do is send it to 20 people. Yeah. I mean, I've got 30 friends. So 20 of them are going to cop it.

Who cares? What's the worst that could happen? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think this was also like if you send it on, you're a part of the thing and you might get a kickback of something. And I was like, well, probably not. But like imagine if it was. So I just remember forwarding it on from my Hotmail account.

Yeah. Ryan69 at Hot was. Yeah. So I just remember forwarding it on from my Hotmail account. Yeah. Ryan69 at Hotmail.com. And I just remember Liam McIntyre replied and he just said. And he's very cool. Like he's cool. Like it'd be embarrassing for him to call you out on this. He just replied and said, oh, Ryan. And you went, I really want to have sex

yeah speak to yourself you don't have a fucking 12 month ban I really want to have sex so don't say I didn't warn you yeah no that's great advice don't say I didn't warn you I've got some recommendations for the weekend I've got a do and a do not

well do share that post two do's one do and a do not. Well, do share that post. Two do's, one do and one do not. One do, now this is fucking niche as fuck, but if you're a cricket nerd, the test has just come out on Amazon Prime. Oh, cool. And so when Mabel was a little baby, Australia was playing England in England because of the time zones that was through the night. So because I did the nights, I would end up watching a lot of cricket with mabel on the couch when she was just a tiny little bubba

but the best thing about the you know the doc every sport sort of got that now that behind the scenes in the change room documentary but because i watched a lot of it there's a there's a lot of like oh i actually remember seeing that and that's what they talked about in the change rooms after that thing happened and here so for cricket nerds it's just a real insight into how cool is that so that's my do you do recommendation uh my do not is um do not send your boss a drunk selfie at 4am from a nightclub dance floor why who did that j, did you do that last weekend? No. You're not my boss, and if you fucking ask me, I will fucking kill you. I won't ask Tony. Beep that C word, everyone.

Sorry. Sophie. No, I didn't believe I did. Sophie. I didn't say do anything. True or false? What's going on here? Collusion.

Sophie? Okay, I might have been featured in something someone else sent. Oh. There's a photo of a mutual friend and Sophie that I get sent at 4 a.m. Was it Leah? No. Leon Shergren. 4 a.m. Was it Leah? No.

Leon Shergren. Oh. A local DJ in a club sends me a message at 4 a.m. and it's Sophie and Leon like, you know, giving these ones at 4 a.m. You're a mother. No, it was her night off because she did Friday. Oh, okay. Yep, because her, yep, so Sophie's husband was out Friday,

so Sophie went, I've got Saturday. I let the dogs out on Saturday. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Confirm or deny? Yeah, I'm afraid so. Yeah. I'm actually a bit upset that Shergs didn't send that to me as well. I knew you'd make this about you.

Yeah. Hmm. Interesting. Maybe he knew you'd be up. He actually, the ironic thing, nah, so the message you sent was at 3.55 and I actually went to bed about 3.40. Oh, my God. You guys, I'd been asleep for nine hours.

But I remember, like, being annoyed the next day because I was like, the one night of the decade where I was half a chance to reply to that and I'd missed it by fucking this much. But just. Yeah. Oh, that's fun. You guys have that little connection. Yeah.

James and I were texting while you guys, yeah, you guys having fun, James and I. We're actually together hanging out. I've got a question for Tony Left Out Lodge. Yep. Where were you at 4.30 p.m. on Friday? Yeah. So maybe on Friday? Yeah. So maybe shut the fuck up.

Okay, so this isn't good because I just said that was Sophie's night on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, now we were wasted. Yeah. Yeah. So let's not be pointing fingers.

Yeah. Yeah, okay. All right, my only love to see it. What's your only love to see it? I've got here from Michelle Baker who shared this via our website. So at TonyRyan.com.au you can share like normal on us, you can share anonymous confessions.

You can also share just like crazy cool stories that you like and you want to share with us or something cool that you've done. Michelle Baker shared this and said, I can now swim. In September last year, a month before I found your guys' podcast, I decided as a 40-year-old woman I would finally learn to swim. Oh. In September last year, a month before I found your guys' podcast, I decided as a 40-year-old woman I would finally learn to swim. Yep. I don't think people realise how scary it is doing anything new as you get older.

Tony knows. Totally. Like, doing new stuff is really scary, let alone if it's something that means you could die. Like, if you're not very confident in the water, I mean, you could die anywhere, but, like, if you're not very confident in the water, I mean, you could die anywhere, but, like, if you're not very confident in the water, you're quite literally throwing yourself in the deep end.

I hope that you've told this whole story just to be able to say that line. No, no, no. Well, Michelle actually goes on to say, last week I ended up swimming down the deep end for the very first time. Impressive. When you think about, like, if you've never swum before, the concept of water and swimming is just fucking, yeah.

Like, even in a pool, like, it's quite scary. I was so scared the whole time as it's deep and I couldn't touch the ground. It may sound silly. It really doesn't. And I know I have a long way left to go. Who doesn't? But swimming down the deep end feels like such an achievement

and I can say I'm really proud of myself. Michelle, I am really proud of you. I actually, though, I'm surprised Toni finds this so relatable because of how many times she said she'd probably win medals in Paris. Well, I've done my bronze. Yeah. So, I mean. That's why I'm like, I can't see how you can relate to Michelle

because you're just such a good swimmer. I am a really strong swimmer. I am a really strong swimmer. I am a very strong swimmer. But the thing is I think that when it's something you're passionate about and other people take an interest in it, like I love being in the water and I grew up with a pool so I'm like very like I'm good in the water and I just grew up with it. So you could afford, mum could afford a BMW.

You had a pool but she couldn't afford to buy a deodorant. I said it wasn't about the money. I don't think, I think it was just like, oh, take that. You know what I mean? Yeah, because I don't want to buy one because I like the money. Because the money. I've got to put fuel in my BMW. I've got to put fuel in the pool.

Yeah. But as someone who like loves swimming and really understands the joys of swimming, I think it's just really cool that you'd put yourself out of your comfort zone. And as someone who loves a hobby, fucking absolutely love to see it, Michelle. Congratulations. On Monday's show, I've got an Amazon review here

and it needs to be a word of warning. Oh. Actually, that's all I'll say. I've got to, like, it's. Oh, who can this throw? Don't make any rash purchases on this weekend before. I cannot be held to that kind of high standard. Just, I've got some warning if you're going to buy something on Amazon.

Do it that way, you will. Have a great weekend. Yep. See you later. Have a good day. Bye. Meow, meow, meow. And meow's on.

Oh, there's a meow in there. Does that cat want some milk? Put that chewy milk down. Love you. Bye.
