Let's workshop a new name. Ladies and gentlemen, the dickleberries. In 50 years, people will know the dickleberries. The dickleberry dynast. Hi, I'm Claire from Wogga, Wogga, but living in London. Hey, y'all. I'm Kevin living in Dallas, Texas, USA. Hi, I'm Ashley from Colonna Canada.

This is Charlie, and we approve this podcast. Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. I'm getting nandoes after we report today. Yeah, okay, nah, we've got to shut the fucking hell up, because you have mentioned getting Nandoes a couple of times. You're like, talks with the zoo. I think you've got to do it. And get it out of your system.

Can I say something about Nandoes? This is... I will so allow it. We, I don't think we ever revisited this, but I hate Nandoes. Like, I think it is the worst place to get food from. I'm like, eternally offended by the existence of Nandoes. I think it's expensive. I think it's shit.

It doesn't scratch any itches for me. It does absolutely not. nothing. But then I was told that the Nando's in the UK was like pretty elite and I was like, well, how good could it be? It's my new favorite thing. Nando's in the UK. Fuck, so hard. But Nando's here is just, she just doesn't have the same menu. The food's not as good. Charles, can we get Uber Eats but from the UK for Nando's? Yeah, be here in today. Can you ask them? Yeah. I think they call it just eat there. If we, they do. Can we just like tell Tony is from the UK?

No, it's not the same. You can taste the difference. And I'm also going to know that it's not the same shit on the menu. I got this delisioso Peter thing, which I know they have here, but the bread's not as good. Yeah, it's got the Peter Bread, Charles, from the UK. And it had, and it was like chicken fire in there. It was so juicy. I just feel like every time I get Nando's here, it's got tangy mayonnaise, the chicken's dry.

It costs a fortune. The Peter Bread rips apart in your hands. It's like, go fuck yourself. Let me get you the chicken ribs with barbecue sauce. Let me get you a mild. No, no, no, no. that's not my area. I wouldn't do ribs and I wouldn't do

barbecue sauce. You know that's not my area. That's your area, but that's not for me. But if the mayo is not doing it for you, let me do a mild, a mild, a mild heat.

What? I'm going to let you fucking take that one again. What's a mild heat? Well, don't do mayo. Do a mild heat. But it's still, like,

on the Peter Rap or whatever, who's Peter Rap? Like, you get a little mayo, but it's tangy, just put QI on it. And type in Peter wrap.

No, Charles, can you please get up the Nando's menu? Yeah, that's probably more better use of our time. Actually, neither are a good use of our time. Charles, actually, can you show us the Nando's UK menu? It's good.

I'll order it. I, do you know what, though, the Nandoes that I had in the UK, the other thing that they do is a little mac and cheese and that was absolute calm town. So this is the UK menu. No, I could tell. Hulumi sticks and chili jam. Okay, fuck that, right, my pussy.

I think they do Hulumi here. No, but not like that. This is a. Australian. That's disgusting. Oh, fuck off. Look at those naughty nanaes. Look how shit that looks.

You'd fuck those mini drums. Where's the Hulumi? Where's all the food? There. Hulumi sticks and dip and a chutney. Yeah, they do have them. That creamy hummus and peri, peri drizzle. Go back to perfect pear.

What's perfect pair? Is that just a little bits of chicken? Oh, that's a little rib. And a cheesy garlic. And a cheesy garlic peter. That looks okay. Let's try that. Maybe that's our middle ground.

But I just want a big chickeny fucking sandwich. That's what I want. And they just, I just don't feel busted by Nando's in Australia. Okay. I feel so busted by Nando's in the UK. Is that what you got? Thino Peter.

Yeah, maybe, because it was the chicken thighs. Sino Peter, Thino Peter. Torbs' middle name is Peter. That's crazy. Is he changing when you get married? Alex Tony Lodge. Yeah. I've got a normal or nah.

I didn't imagine if Charles changed his last name. Torbs and I get married and Charles's like, I am now Charles Lodge. Would you be a Charles Lodge? No, because then you wouldn't get Grandaddy's inheritance if you changed your name. Was there any discussion between you and Bridge about like changing names and stuff? Like was, because she has, hasn't she? Like she is a done. She's a done.

Which I love, because for Mabel. Bridge didn't really care about the name. She just wanted us all to have the same. Same. No, which I love. I don't think we even talked about it. I love that. Are you going to take done?

She just went, yeah, well, the same way. Okay. Well, because you'd already planned to have kids as well. So I guess it was like part of that. Yeah. But it wasn't a big, like I can't even remember talking about it. Yeah. And I don't think we talked about it for more than four seconds.

Because I don't know what I'll do. I don't know. What are you going to do? I don't know. And I don't really have to know. Tony Torlaron is just so fun. No. See, Torbs hates the double.

T. He actually doesn't like the double T. He's a fuckhead who hasn't worked in commercial radio because everyone knows illiteration fucking rules. Yeah. He doesn't like the double T. He thinks that sounds stupid. And I was like, and one day, like I obviously was having like a, an emotional moment.

And I was like, you don't need to be part of your family. And it was, it was a whole thing. So, yeah. And then I was like, would you be a lodge? And he was like, you don't even want to be a lodge. And I was like, that's so fair. That is fair. I have no connection.

to my name. So then he was like, would you... She just started afresh. Do you want to come to Patterson? Tony Patterson. I was going to say, start afresh.

Tony Dunn. Find some new... No, because like, you make you... Okay, that was a gentleman. No, it's like... You don't want me to be part of that. You know you're so welcome in my family,

but... Bonnie has asked me to be a Johnson. You're a part of the Hawks family. Yes. Which is as deep as it goes. The family club, yeah. But is there something to be said for like, where a new couple,

where we've moved across the country, We're just going to find with no history. Start a new one. Like we are the top of the chain of this new name. Oh, our dynasty. There's no, but there's no baggage. There's no history. There's no like, oh, because we've always done it.

It's like, no. I like that. It starts today. Yeah, I do like that. Dickleberry. You'll both be Dickleberries. Tony Dickleberry and Alex Dickleberry. Here come the Dickleberries.

Pippa Dickleberry. Yeah, Pippa Dickleberry. Pippa Dickleberry. Because, yeah, I've got no connection to mine. name and I would still you when you start this new one dickleberry like working title no it sounds like that's pretty final but you get to decide and define what it means who that is yeah because in 50 years people will know the dickleberries yeah and it's what you did to it the dickleberry dynasty it's what you did to the dickleberry dynasty not what the dickleberries do to you it's what you do

of Dicleberries. Yeah. And I have always said that. Actually, no, you have. You're on the record. Yeah, okay. Let's workshop a new name. Oh, sorry, let's lock in that new name.

But what are you going to do? Does he like his name? I think he's kind of the same, not really attached to it, but both of us are like, well, if neither of us are really attached, do we just leave it? And it doesn't really matter. What's a weird fuck-up of your last names? A weird fuck. Like a...

Torbillodge. Torbillodge. Torbillodge. I don't hate Torbillodge. Hmm. Tony Torbillodge. I bet it's the double T, isn't it? Pippa is Pippa Lodge at this point in time.

So BJ at our old vet was BJ Rodder. Then Bridgett got married and changed her name. Now, Bronz out on his own. BJ's just a rotter by himself. Yeah. No, he's done now. He had a chat last night. But, I mean, he's a Kelpie, not a rotter while up.

Last night, Bridgett was. was sitting 10 centimeters from the fire because it was so cold. Yeah. And Ron was like, I'll get in between. Like, there's no way I'm going to wait, like, not get heat before it's come through your area. Yes. I will actually.

Yeah. I'll be closer. And just watching Bridge, like seeing him walk around and she goes, he's not easy. There's no way. There's no way. And then he just like sneaks in and he goes, are you fucking joking? And he's just like, well, got his big booty there. Heels his butt in.

She just goes. And Bridget goes, fine. And then goes back to the couch. Yeah, well, you've got to admit to feet. You've got to know when you've been bested. Yeah. So what are you going to do? I really don't know.

Because my mum was a Mrs. Lodge. And whilst I have no connection to being a lodge, I think being a Mrs. Lodge, that's what my mom was. What was her maiden name? M-E-L-L-O-R, which I don't think really suits it. Because Toulbs and I were like, what if we both became a M-L-O- Yeah. But I think, I mean, it's just so much paperwork, eh. Like, it really, like, it's... Like, can you imagine both of us having to do that?

Got a new passport? I didn't even, I didn't even think about a passport. I was just like, fuck my license. You'll lose your status credits. You don't. Well, then I won't even get married. I won't even risk it. I won't even risk it.

But yes, I don't know. If anybody else any advice, I'd love to hear it. Send it on through. Or how you decided. Heads or tails. Do I just get to decide? Adam a misses. Matt, you've been a miss-o since the day I met you.

But do you have to, like, legally become a missus or are you just a missus? I don't, because when there's a little drop-down menu on your form, you just choose, yeah. I've put doctor in a few times as a few years. Well, so I'm not becoming a missus at all because I'm doctor. Oh, who cares? Why don't bother? Dr. Dickleberry. Dr.

Hello, I'm here to see Dr. Tony Dicklebone. This is actually a huge test. Let me put my iPad down. Fuck the normal or nah. See you next week. How committed are you to comedy? Oh, my whole life. Ladies and gentlemen, the dickleberries.

I'm not doing the dickleberries. Oh, so you're not committed to comedy. Oh, yeah, well, normally it's funny. Ah! Sorry, no. I don't think I want to be... I don't think I want both of us to do the paperwork. And you know who's going to have to do it?

Me. She's pointing to herself. Like, Torbs isn't going to fill in a form. So you should just become Tony Taublerone and be done with it? Well, do you think it's just, but then I've got to do it. I'm going to get a new passport. I've got so many stamps. I've got so many stamps in my passport.

I'll lose them. Well, I think Bridget's so rock in the, like, it's, you can, yeah. Is there something about like, I've married what you're kind of in a bit of a no-no zone where you can, like, do, go from, We can go both ways, yeah, for a while. Yeah. Yeah. When's your passport expire?

Oh, like 2030. That's not that far away. Yeah. That's disgusting. Oh, I was like that's in 10 years. It's not. Three and a bit. You don't, yeah, you don't have to change your last name on your passport.

But if you, like, book a flight, that has to have the same name as your passport. Right. So I can't book it under Tony Dickleberry and then rock up with my Tony Lodge passport. Yeah. Oh, well, Dickleberry's out, unfortunately. you board the plane and they have to with a straight face say hello Mrs. Dickleberry. This is Dickleberry? Yep, here's your seat. Right down the back. Just keep walking.

57D for Dickleberry? I was got a quick normal or no. This is from Stanley. And I bring this up. Tucci? That's pronounced Tucky. Sorry. Scheduling your casual texts and then trying to make them look unscheduled by.

picking an unschedulely time. Oh yeah, like you can't do 9 a.m. You've got to do like 903. If I need to text someone later, I'll draft it now and schedule to send it at 10.7 instead of 10, just so it looks like. Oh, I just wrote that and sent it off. Yes.

Because sometimes I'm trying to get, because I'll like think of something and want to email people. And as you know. And you do. No, but I. And you just send it. You go, I've got a thought. Let me inject that into your brain.

Instantly. So what I'm working on is getting better at scheduling it for an appropriate time. When are you going to start working on it? I have, but you wouldn't know. Yeah, I would because I got three emails from you at 9 p.m. So I don't know when you have done it, but I know when you have it. If you get one at 8 am. on a Monday, you... Oh, yeah.

That's scheduled territory. But I have this feeling of like, oh, but it's like, it's almost like if they know it's scheduled, it somehow feels a bit dirt. or like old news. Imagine me sending you... Or you didn't care enough to just send it live. Yeah. Or it's like, imagine if I sent you last week's newspaper.

Yeah. And he's go... I go, what's a newspaper? Yeah. What is this old... Old information. Is this still relevant? Yeah, you might be questioning...

Have you changed your mind since then? The legitimacy of the text. Yes, no, I totally... So I go, I don't want them to have to go through that mental marigmarole Dickleberry. I want them to think it's live. Hey, Mrs. Diggleberry. Yeah. Sorry.

I think that as well when I get like a, what's it called like an e-commerce email? Yep. Or whatever, like mailing list. Yep. And like three come at 9 a.m. because all the different businesses have gone, well, I'll do nine on a Monday. And they all come in and you wake up and you go, well, I'm going to unsubscribe to all three. Yeah.

You've fucked it for each of you. Because some LinkedIn article's gone 7 p.m. Yep. And they've all gone great. Nine or two is the best time. And then they go, Bing, Bing, Bing. On the 30th of June at night, I know we're all raging on our end of financial year parties. Yep.

But obviously in Australia there's a lot of end of financial year sales. Uh-huh. And my phone, it's like that all scheduled them for 6pm or 7 p.m. going last chance for our end of year. And I was literally about to throw my phone out the fucking window because I was like, fuck off. You've all just scheduled them for the same time. And at that point, it's not even emails. It's texts.

And the text start with EOFY, final hours, whatever, they all streamed through at the same time. A COSA, if I want a new bed, I'll let you know. Like, and that's not... Mr. Simple, if I want some new pants, I'll let you know. But I think clothes and stuff... Fenton and Fenton, I've already given you millions of dollars. Leave me alone. We actually can't afford for you to be subscribed to the Fenton and Fenton one.

I'm going to have to ask you to Piff that one off. Thank you. Someone cut me the fuck off. clothes and stuff like whilst it is annoying i understand it more because you can do an impulse purchase something like ecosa i'm like i'm not all of us i'm like you know what i will get a new bed yeah yeah like i need to think about this it's well it's something that you either need or you are moving and you go oh or our kid is older and they need a bed now whatever it's not something that at 7 p.m on june 30 i go you know what i will do a new bed

Crazy. Let us know in the episode thread or if you're on YouTube in the comments what's the biggest purchase you've made from a text like just straight up you've got the text that's good

from the company and just gone yeah actually yes and do we mean biggest as in like biggest like monetary commitment yeah yeah yeah love it that's a fucking great question

I sent Charles one last night because Hormosey the business guru yeah he's got this tool where if you want to like search a part of the book you just search it and it gives you the answer. Oh.

On a text and I went, what is it? And I clicked on and goes, yeah, it's only $1,600 a month. But command F, isn't it? Control F. Charles, do you know what the shortcut is? Either control or command depending what Windows. Yeah. Command F for fuck off.

Yeah. Because this really is the ultimate brain break. And we'll be there. You deserve a holiday. We'll be there. Yeah. Don't know if that's a positive or a negative for people. I'm trying to have a brainbreak.

And these fucking two. And these pheets keep fucking trying to talk to me at the buffet. Now, we were just doing excellent end of financial e-com. Yes. And it reminded me about when I was in the accounting firm on New Year's final new financial years. I'm going to have to ask you to shut the fuck up because that is the most excellent thing. I've ever heard of my. And you know what?

Bit off air chat. When we were talking about the last names and I just got one normal no and I went, oh, we could probably, probably head off. You fuck it. You had that ready to. You had that ready to go. that was absolutely unbelievable. No one else is going to appreciate that like I do. And I do it for you.

Yeah, I know. Everything I do. I do it for you. So it's the end of financial year and I'm a graduate at the accounting firm. And this is like business time for a fucking accountant, right? Yeah. Like this is. It's a moment.

Yeah. And is it just like no one's allowed to take leave, all hands on deck, it's fucking, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But then because I'm a first year, because I'm a grad, there's this annual prank that they do on the grads. No. And I've never liked pranks. We aren't pranks. But I smelt a rat and was a bit of a dick about it. And 15 years later, I'm still proud of myself.

Yeah. So. And you're a grad. Yeah. The small fry. The smallest. Yeah. And so basically they come around and go, oh, because it's the end of financial year.

We need to do a stationary audit. It's kind of a crappy job. The grads have to do it. We all had to do it. Yeah. Bit of a ride of passage kind of thing. Yeah. So basically we need to.

What do you count in the staples and shit? And they're like, fuck, I used to hate doing stock take at Coles. It'd be like, yep, there's 18 prawns left. But they're like, that was the worst. But like say there's a 30. pack of pens that will how many have we used? Because it's a you're joking. It's a prank.

Oh, this is the prank. I'm so sorry. I thought the prank was coming. I was like, well, that's important work. When does the prank start? Sleigh. Okay. So you didn't really have to do it.

Well, how many pens are you got? Oh, well, I just thought that. And then I was like, should we in my mind right? I'm like, do we need to do an order here? Do you mind doing it, Tony? I'll do it. No, but like for our financial. actually like if we're like the computers and stuff get fucking you don't know no like no you don't

know and that's okay you're an accountant uh what's the word with d depreciation and all that shit so anyway they go oh yeah and i kind of went that's fucking a bit specific i don't know about that and then one of the guys got real because everyone's oh yeah of course you know i'm too i'm doing oh i was fucking counting already one two three big pens and you would have got so fucking got but you know that's why i don't like pranks because i believe what people say and that's why they said to Michael, they go, oh, um, he sounds like a cockhead. No, he was nice guy. Oh, sorry, he, great guy.

He, um, like, can you go around and see, like, what percentage of the rubbers? Oh, no. And that's when I went, I already was like, fucking station. We got to suck my dick. And then someone said, like, oh, like, with that rubber, would that be like 20% rubbed down, you know? Or like how much, like, how many staples are in the stapler? Isn't, okay, sorry, hang on, pause. Yeah.

So we're talking about the busiest time of the year and they're doing jokes. Yep. I don't have time for that. Yep. Mr. Reese plumbing needs his fucking tax file number. I don't know anything.

That's it. Hello. I'm on your side, though. Yeah, I know. I'm calling it the busiest time of year. What's my tax file number? Do you know what is actually an excellent hack? I have my tax file number saved as a contact in my phone.

I've always got it. I'd hate for your phone to get stolen. I don't do that anymore. I used to. Great hack, though. I used to do it. Great hack though. If someone else wanted to do it, it might still work.

I haven't done it for years. I've actually since got a new tax file number. Is your PIN also a contact in your phone? How do you get into the phone to find the PIN? I normally use my face. But when I'm doing my red light LED mask, it doesn't accept my face on my phone. So I have to try and remember it. Why have I not seen you in your red light LED mask?

have in Brisbane. No, like every day on Instagram. Oh, because I thought the rule was that if you've got one, you have to do it. That's very funny. I don't do that, but.

So we got people counting staples in staples. But isn't it busy? Like, isn't there other things to be done? Oh, but like, fucking isn't everyone busy who, yeah,

like, I don't know. But isn't there really things that you could be contributing? Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah.

But also when you're a graduate, you just do shit jobs. Yeah, sure. um counting staples in the stapler how many pens are in the thing how many reams of paper are in the printer or left in the fucking whatever and so someone's like wrong we're going to need to do this this and this and i kind of went that feels prank adjacent i've actually got some stuff to do but i also don't want to be rude in case it's real a real job yeah i wouldn't i'd be shit scared yeah so i've gone oh um i'm just finishing up this project i'll i'll get to that later

was my kind of like that would piss you off though as someone who was trying to do a prank yeah yeah and then I saw you know and there's a lot of like like people like the older people looking around going oh he's fucking doing this

he's doing the pencils over there you know oh he's checking the paper yeah and because they all got forced to do it that yeah it's sort of like I I fucking got got now I'm getting someone else yeah and every and then after they haven't healed from their trauma yeah and then after a couple of after a bit

that's like, ah, anyway, it's end of financial year, let's go have beers. Yep. And I was like, and they go,

not in their mouth though. And they go, hey, Ryan, hey man, have you had a chance to get to that? And they go,

no, not yet. I'll probably got a late once night because I'll, I'll get to that a bit later. Because I'm like,

I'm just going to keep buying time. Keep pushing it out. Yeah. And then someone got got, like, someone must have, like that, you know,

and everyone, like the whole office kind of exhaled and laughed and everyone got got got. and this one guy actually came over to me and was like, I need you to do this thing right now. And I was like, I'm actually not going to do it.

Like, no, I'm not going to do it. Were you like the jiggies up? We already know it was a joke. I'd kind of like back myself in was a bit of like, I'm not fucking doing it. No, fuck yeah. And then when it came out,

it was a prank after all. I gave it back to that. What did you say? I was like, I know it was bullshit and fuck you. And you're wasting my time. I had other stuff to do. Well,

I was more like, I wasn't even the other stuff. I was more like, I don't want to get got. I don't like pranks. That's why I don't like them. I don't like getting got. Yes.

And I looked at it and I just went, fuck you. I knew it was a fake and sucked in. You didn't get me. And fucking. Oh, but I got got three years ago because you're a dumb. Yeah. And you know what? That guy?

Dead now. Yeah, he's actually the CEO now. So I'm doing quite well. Oh, picture partners. No, I don't know. Imagine if he was. Imagine if he was. It's Nick.

Yeah, it's Nick got God. He was sitting next to me and he got done. Oh yeah. Because Nick's a little dork and he would have just been like, of course I'll do it. Yeah. Yeah. That would have been the situation I was in too. I texted him and I said,

do you reckon many people this year were doing the stationary audit? And he goes, it's probably classed as bullying now. 1,000%. Yeah. Oh, I can't fucking do anything in these days. Can't fucking do anything these days.

Fucking stationary audit. Fuck them. I hope they're all bloody having a shit time. I think the stationary audit is like the accountant equivalent of, you know, like those tradie like, oh, can you go get a left-handed screwdriver? Yeah.

Spirit level bubbles. Tartan paint. Yeah. Tarton paint. Tongue in the paint. That's well, yeah, that's definitely harassment. Yeah. You'll die.

Yeah, I've heard of pink and the stink, but I haven't heard of tongue in the paint. I'll show you me can later. I'm into DIY. We don't do pranks here is what I'm getting at. No, we don't. That's why we don't do pranks and fuck that guy. Yeah. That's fucked.

Yeah. That's fucked. But do you, and because I almost got prank like, because I've never liked pranked. And then a few years later, I suspected, like when I was working radio, I was like, I think I'm getting prank and I was getting a bit like, It makes you be agitated, eh? Yeah. And I remember Bridgett going, like, if you're in the beers,

you like let them prank you and it's fine. And I was like, no. I can't, but I can't because I don't like. Yeah. Like, why do you want to make someone feel silly? Stationary audit. But you know what I mean? Like, I just don't understand that.

Yeah. But now, I think it was good that you stood up for yourself. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck them. Proud of you. Thank you. I've got a great you love to see it that's going to make us all feel awesome.

Also, can you just check. How many pens? Yeah, you know, and I would do it too. This is why I don't like pranks, because I fall from every time, very gullible. Jennifer gone and on, gone and on. Well, she goes on and on. Gone on and on.

Nice. Start of the fucking bloop. Fuck, yeah. Jen says my whole life. I started a stationary audit business. Yeah, I've started doing pranks. I'm really proud of myself. My whole life, I've been told what I had to do

regarding work or further education. You know when you're going through school, And they're like, well, you've got to go to uni and you've got to do this. And you've got like, there's this order and it's perfect. And you can't fucking do a single thing out of water. So fucking done. Jen says, having my first baby at 19 and becoming a single mom, all I knew is that I wanted to be the best mom I could be.

So I was like, I'm going to put my work and uni on hold. And I'm just going to do the hell out of being a mom. Yep. She says a year ago, I was diagnosed with ADHD and started on meds because I always hated school. I found it really, really tricky to focus. And she's like, and now I've been diagnosed with ADHD. I'm like kind of start to understand myself and understand like why I was probably having trouble focusing and trying to learn and learning at someone else's pace as well.

He's hard enough without fucking ADHD. Yeah. Jen says, I started a veggie garden and from there I would watch the Eps on YouTube, like watch Tony and Ryan and just kind of be outside like tinkle around in the garden. And when I was done watching your videos, I would spend hours watching videos about gardening. And I'm now a term into doing cert three in horticulture. Fuck, yeah. So just this little hobby.

And she's like, but it was actually something I enjoyed. And now I'm studying. I reckon Bridget would love doing something like that. Oh, and she would be really great at it. Because it's like mixes the science side that she's great at and really likes. Yeah. But then like the creativity, getting your hands to it. She would be great.

at that. Jen said, well, she can message Jen. Jen says having my teachers tell me every day they can see I've finally found where I belong is so cool now at 32 years old and it's been 20 years since I was in high school and thought like it was too late for me. Yep. And I've now got something that I'm excellent at. I really enjoy.

She said the help with the meds to focus has like changed my life. And no one understands how proud of myself I am. Um, that's us. I'll stop you right there, Jen. We're going to stop you fucking right there, Jen. I'm fucking proud of you. You had us until then. Yeah.

Actually, fuck you, Jen. Yeah, Jen. I'm not thinking that I wouldn't be proud of you. Fuck you. Isn't that amazing? That is amazing. After all that time. Can I share something with you that's hell fucking strange?

Please. And the last thing I saw coming. Yeah. So I was looking into, uh, if I had ADHD and if, or just, you know, you know that I, my attention. and span can be fucking, we can be a big conversation of like, yeah, yep. I've seen it. Yeah.

But, you know, like it's not helped with all of their distractions in our lives. Yeah. So I was chatting to the doctor and I was like, you know, is it worth sort of going down that path to like investigate, see what it's up or is it just? Because, you know, you know one of those like you read enough online, you can probably convince yourself of anything. I was like, have I incepted myself? Like pseudoscience into, yeah.

Yeah. So I was kind of talking to the doctor about it. And he was like, first of all, good on you for going and talking to some about it. Thank you. And I was like, here's why it might be the case,

but also maybe I've just convinced myself because I've read enough fucking things. Totally. Would it even be helpful if I found out? Like, what talked to me through this? And he goes, most of the medications,

like, have gluten in them for ADHD. Oh, wow. And he's like, so if we found something for you, it might be the worst thing for you. Because you can't, wow.

And I just meant, I didn't even consider. And he was like, yeah. So obviously there's some, some without, but like all things, sometimes you got to find the one that's right for you. Totally. And he's just like, so just no. I wouldn't have even considered that as an element of needing to. And because this was actually, strangely, in the follow up to my colonoscopy. Yeah.

And he goes, I assume that's why you're asking because of the gluten. And I went, no. No. I never even. Who guess? that there's gluten in ADHD medication. And he's like, yeah, most of them. What?

What do they wrap it in a piece of bread before they give it to you? What do you mean? Yeah. I was like, oh, so I can be really concentrating on shitting myself. Yeah, and I will not split my focus. That's crazy. Yeah, and I was when, I feel like the ADHD, like a diagnosis like that for some people probably. I'd be like Jen said, like has given it a name and makes, you know, part of my identity.

He helps me understand why I struggled. Because as a kid, they just go, well, you're stupid and you can't pay attention when you go, no, there's actually something bigger up play here. One of the reasons I asked the doctor is one of my friends just got some medication. And he said, oh, it just helps him. And it's changed his life, eh? Concentrate at work a lot better. And I said, oh, how do you mean?

And he goes, well, I said to the boys, I'm off to get a chisel. Because he said to the work crew, he goes, have you guys noticed the difference? They went, oh, we all knew the day you started taking it. Oh. And he goes, oh, is that obvious? And he goes, yeah, because you said you were going to get a chisel. And then you came back with one. Because you walk off and then you go, oh, hang on.

I'll do that. And then I'll grab this. And they go, you'd go, oh, I'm off to grab that thing. And we wouldn't say, you know, or half an hour later. That's crazy. Oh, I just found this and I got fucking stuck. That would be very validating, I think, to know that people had seen the change. Yeah.

So that's why I asked. But, um. Oh, but not an option. few. Just what a wild card. Oh, I haven't done my love to see it. Yeah. My little seeds is gluten.

Yeah. My love to seed is that we're ordering Nandoes and that definitely has gluten in it. I'm about to mention an O.G. Tapa, but I'm just going to give you half the name for legal reasons, but it's our mate noodle. Oh. I was about to say the name. Yeah. Yep. They've been struggling with their current role at work.
