This is Dr. Arthur Tony Lodge. Hello. And we are calling Ashley who's in Warnable. Oh. Down the great ocean road in Victoria. And what a beautiful part of the world. I've never been to Warrnambool specifically, but I have been to the.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Ashley. Hi. I didn't want to interrupt you because I heard you guys talking because I was going to say, you know, my normal hi Ashley, Ashley speaking, but I haven't had a chance. We're talking about how good Warrnable is. It's not like you caught us when we were talking about what we're going to have for lunch or anything like we were on a mission message. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Now, Ashley, did you grow up in Warrnable? Yes. Now some local chat here, some local chat. I love it. OK, OK. Ashley, have you ever kissed a boy at the Whalers Hotel? No, I'm not a party goer, but I did go see Tones and I recently at the Whalers. She did a pop-up show at the Whalers. I'd rather see Tones and I than kiss a boy, to be honest. So yeah, you haven't lived.
Starting point is 00:02:02 You haven't seen Tones and I. Yeah. Yeah, the Whalers mates. Tony, when you're down there, that's a time 19 years old. Make sure you get in there and give it a red hot crack. Oh, I love it. Ash, will you approve today's podcast? Yes, I certainly will. Excellent.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Thank you. Hi, it's Ash from Mournable Australia and I approve this podcast. I'm so sorry to do this, but we're starting the week off with some devastating news. Our favourite cheese monger has shut down. Milk the Cow in Melbourne, a couple of weeks ago, went into a voluntary administration. They said, you know, this is just the way of the social scene in Melbourne at the moment, they can't keep up. Yeah, stuff out there. And I think through COVID, you know, there was like lots of handouts from the government and stuff, you know, you had a bit of support.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Whereas now, you know, people don't have any money. It's very, very sad. It was an amazing little spot that they had and they used to do these like little from the government and so, you know, you had a bit of support as now, you know, people don't have any money. It's very, very sad. It was an amazing little spot that they had and they used to do these like little cheese hampers. You could get like a box of cheese. Remember how last Friday I said like warning, like don't just like mention stuff to your family in case they like give it to you as a gift. Um, another warning.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Did something happen to you over the weekend? You go, I love dolphins and you covered in dolphin stuff. I have a voucher for milk the cow. Oh, and someone said, you better use that soon. And I'm like, nah, it's all good. It's like, um, that sounds like they had insider information and I would be talking to the FDA about that. Cause someone, because someone asked about it and I think it was like a joint present for Bridget and I,
Starting point is 00:03:49 whether it was a late wedding or something, but it was like valid for like two or three years. And I went, Oh, I've got two or three years to use it. And then, you know, Oh no, it was like a baby shower thing. Oh yeah. And so it was like, Oh, when you get a chance, you guys take yourselves out. And I was like, Oh, you know, young baby, it's hard to get out, but when she's a bit older, we can leave her with someone and blah, blah, yep. And so I was like, Oh, when you get a chance, you guys take yourselves out. And I was like, Oh, you know, young baby, it's hard to get out, but when she's a bit older, we can leave it with someone and blah, blah, blah. And then we've got this voucher that everyone's chipped into.
Starting point is 00:04:11 How much is the voucher for? If everyone's chipped in, I'm guessing a couple of hundred dollars. I think so, because I think the idea is what you go and have some wines and some cheese. Yeah. It's like a beautiful set up. I believe it's. RIP.
Starting point is 00:04:23 So like, am I on the creditors list? Oh no, all your mates, they'll get 10 bucks each. Cause it's like, yeah, we owe the landlord this much. We know when the person comes in and divvies up the stuff. Or I'm not sure if they did shut down quote unquote, um, in advance knowing that that was coming, like, I don't know if they let it get that far. Maybe they were like, fuck, Ryan and Bridget are coming in hot. They're going to come and do some damage.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Yeah. But it's really, it's actually really sad because there are really, it was a really awesome business. Like the people that worked there were awesome. Like, yeah. That's tough news for a, that's tough news for a Monday. It's tough for a Monday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Milk the cow. Yes. Um, to change the tone, there's a lot of people sticking up for Tony Lodge today. As they fucking should be. I don't get enough credit in this town. A lot of people did some babysitting for friends and family over the weekend. And people have said, Hey, I know that a few weekends ago, Tony Lodge was babysitting her nephews and she showed them the Smurfs and there's a death scene
Starting point is 00:05:22 and they didn't know what death was. And it was a pretty brutal. Yeah, it was brutal. Shantelle Fowler. Hi, Shantelle. I'm here to stick up for Tony. Thank you, Shantelle. Tony sounds like a-
Starting point is 00:05:31 Shant, yell it from the rooftops. Thank you. She sounds like a wonderful babysitter and I don't think anyone could know that The Smurfs isn't a suitable movie for children, especially those brutal death scenes. My son has started watching the Wiggles. Oh, no, the farm? Yeah. Well, but then all of a sudden it's just, it's not the same captain feather sword. Is it?
Starting point is 00:06:10 And they just think kids won't notice these things. So when Jeff falls asleep, wake up Jeff. Yep. Um, my son has started saying three, two, one, wake up Jeff. And then he wakes up and that's really normal. It's a cute thing that he's just learned. That is very cute. The other day we were watching the lion King and in the scene where Mufasa dies, it's obviously really sad. And as the deadline lays there, my son with all these cousins around goes,
Starting point is 00:06:37 three, two, one, wake up. Is this part of the story? Three, two, one, wake up. That is really cute. He didn't wake up. Very sad. Does it move faster than it does? Yeah. I thought that was a bad one, but that's Scar. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:02 That's right. Yeah. Same. I did the same. Who's the little one, little dog in it? Simba. Yes. I was going to say Salem. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Who's the little toucan? That's, um, that's Mr. Bean. Pumbaa, Mr. Bean. No, you're thinking of a, you're thinking of a British sitcom. Mr. Bean's in it. Yeah, you're, no. He's Pumbaa. No.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Mr. Bean. He, he's real, but this is animated. Yeah. He's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's You're thinking of a British sitcom. Mr. Bean's in it. Yeah, you're not. He's Pumba. No. Mr. Bean.
Starting point is 00:07:27 He, he's real, but this is animated. Mr. Bean voices Pumba. Isn't that good? That's crazy. Did you know that? Do you know who voices Simba? Who? Jonathan Taylor Thomas.
Starting point is 00:07:39 And then Matthew Broderick. It, the voice changes. Sorry. Jonathan, the voice changes. Sorry. Jonah, JTT though. Whew. I was a JTT girl. Who wasn't? I was.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Stephanie Tilly. Hi, Stephanie Tilly. I'm here to stick up for Tony. Thanks, Steph. I was looking after my sister in the bath. She was four. I was seven. Oh, I mean, that's just the blind leading the blind, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:08:04 I decided to save some time and started drying my hair in the bath with the hair dryer. Oh, oh, Steph. When I turned it on, mom came running down the hall. Oh, I've always been an innovative thinker. Oh, what? Oh, let's slow down. I've always been an innovative.
Starting point is 00:08:27 No, I've always been an innovative thinker. Nice. Says Stephanie. Yeah. Um, when I was- The hairdryer in the bath. Fuck. You're lucky that you-
Starting point is 00:08:37 Yeah. When I was seven or eight, we were down the great ocean road camping over summer and I was with Bonnie and Rowdy. Right. And um, my cousins and um, Rowdy's like, we should go for a bike ride. And I was with Bonnie and Rowdy and my cousins and Rowdy's like, we should go for a bike ride. And I was like, great, let's go for a bike ride. So Rowdy's like three, I'm eight.
Starting point is 00:08:53 And I go, Hey, I'm taking a ride for a ride. And the parents go, cool. And I think Bonnie was, so me and Bonnie like to a lap of this little block. And Rowdy goes, Oh, I'm going to ride down here. And we go, okay. And so then Bonnie and I come back and they say, where's Rowdy. And when you're eight, you feel like you're old and in charge. But then in hindsight, we're like, I can't believe we let an eight year old take a
Starting point is 00:09:12 three year old. Yeah. And so Rowdy just rode his bike down the great ocean road because earlier he'd seen a cow that he liked, then he just assumed it was a bit further down. So he just was, Oh, let's have to see the cow. I'm like, okay, man, have a good one. So we get back to where the, we get back to where the adults are. And mom and Auntie Linda go, where's Rowdy?
Starting point is 00:09:30 And I said, well, he's just rode down to see that cow. And they go, what the fuck are you talking about? So anyway, um, Rowdy got picked up by the cops and we found him three hours later. So all good. We had to run through the scrubs. I remember his dad running through, look, Rowdy, where are you? And, um, and then it wasn't until probably 10 years later, we were retelling the story and the parents went, why did we leave an eight year old in charge?
Starting point is 00:09:54 Yeah. So, we had still alive. Gone well. That is such an atomic bomb of a story. I used three hours they were looking for him. So they called the cops and they go, Oh, our son's missing blah, blah. And they go, Oh, little kid, curly blonde town. They go, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:13 And they go, yeah, we picked him up. He was riding on the great ocean road. What a great vision. Yeah. And a little tight bicycle, you know? So apparently this guy, um, in his four wheel drive with his family and you know, the caravan on the back is driving and there's a three year old just riding his bike.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Come on man. And they go overtakes him and they said, Hey mate, he's going so slow. It's a fucking hundred down here man. Keep a pull over the left. Let me get past. Yeah. And so this guy goes, Oh, hey mate. Um, what are you up to?
Starting point is 00:10:44 And he goes, Oh, I'm just off to see the cows. And he goes, Oh, okay. Um, mom and dad nearby. And he goes, no, no, they're bad. I don't know where they are. I wrote off a while ago and, and he goes, okay. Um, do you want me to give you a lift into town? Rowdy's like, Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Okay. So this lovely guy picked Rowdy up, got his bike and like just drove him. Well, thanks the Lord. It wasn't fucking Ivan Malat, you know, drove him to the police station and because we're on camping, they go, oh, you know, where are you from? And he's like, Melbourne. Like, they don't know. Where do you live? Tent?
Starting point is 00:11:12 Yeah, like he doesn't, and so we, so we call the cops. And he goes, but I am worried about the churn in the wiggles though. Yeah. The character churn. Yeah. And so they call the cops, we'd like to report our son's missing. And they go, yeah, curly blonde town, three road. And they go, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:26 And Rowdy goes, yeah, yeah, we've got him down here. And they go, oh my God, what happened? He goes, oh, he just told, he told the cops he was looking for the cow. Oh, well, thank you. The Apollo Bay police station. Thank goodness that nothing happened to him. Yeah. So with Mabel now, you know, well, obviously we've learned from that.
Starting point is 00:11:45 And we're not going to let her just ride her bike off without us. No. Well, I think Rowdy's issue is that he, the cow was further away than he thought. So if I, so if Mabel says I'm going to see the cow, I'm going to say, well, how far away is it? I'm being rage baited right now. Yeah. Guys, Esty Anderson's got a story.
Starting point is 00:12:02 I don't think that you've got a leg to stand on, I'll be honest, but I'd love to hear from Esty. I was eight years old. No, a hundred percent. That's not your fault, but fuck me. That is a crazy fucking story. Estie, what do you got? Estie, give us your bestie. It was just the nineties, man. Different time.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Different time. Yeah. I bet you that, you know, like no fucking car seats and stuff back then. Nah. I had a Winnie the Pooh booster seat in the car and it like was not safe. It was just from car. that, you know, like no fucking car seats and stuff back then. I had a Winnie the Pooh booster seat in the car and it like was not safe. It was just from came out or target or something. And I don't think it was holding me in at all. It was just so that I was higher so I could see out the window.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Yeah. No safety involves. It wasn't actually for being, it was for like me being able to see stuff. What sort was it again? It was Winnie the Pooh. Pooh bear, Winnie the Pooh Bear. He's fun and he's cuddly, climbing a honey tree. Estie Anderson says, Hi Estie. My dad was babysitting my kids. And he calls me and goes, oh, the son, he's fallen over
Starting point is 00:12:59 and bumped his head, but he's all right though. But he just fell over. Just letting you know. Yeah. Near the garage. Yeah. head, but he's all right though. But he just, he just fell over. Just letting you know. Yeah. Near the garage. Yeah. In my state says Esti, all garage doors that go through to the house need to have a spring. So like automatically closes shut, um, for safety reasons.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Right. Dad mentioned it was in the garage. So I checked the doorbell camera at the front and that's when the real truth came to light. Dad was bringing some stuff in from the car and he used my son to prop this, the door open with the spring on it. Cause you know, the door keeps closing. He goes, I'm trying to get some stuff from the boots. I will just sit down there.
Starting point is 00:13:40 I'm just sitting there for a minute. I used it as a doorstop. Now my son's only two years old and he's pretty light and that spring was pretty strong. The spring was stronger than he was heavy. So he sat the kid down and the daughter just goes whoosh and just sends the kid flying into the garage into the side of the car. And it's all on camera. And dad goes, oh, he's fallen over in the garage.
Starting point is 00:14:06 She bumped his head, I think. God, he's a silly little goose, mate. Dad sent him on a fucking slingshot into the side of a Turago. So anyway, Tony's not the worst babysitter in this town. I rest my case. Sorry, but being a Turago makes it that much funnier. Hi, it's Ash from Warrnambool Australia, and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. Got a mortgage?

Absolutely love to see this. Liv Collin, good on you Liv.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Mike Bondulik, that dirt bitch. Evo Bryan. She's called herself that by the way. And Sarah M. Yeah. That dirt bitch. That's not my editorial. That's that dirt bitch has decided that. If you hit follow or subscribe on whatever podcasting app you're on, that
Starting point is 00:15:27 really helps us on the backend. So I appreciate it. Tony just in that little break was bragging about the awesome food that she was cooking over the weekend. So I love that for you, but it reminds me of a question that I've received over the weekend, which I don't know if you're surprised to hear that people cared about this, but. Oh, I'm never surprised that people care about the things that I say.
Starting point is 00:15:49 I hate you both so much. What food did you prepare for the accountant? Cause last week the accountant was dropping off a form for you to sign. And you said how much food should I put on a breakfast charcuterie board? And all hell fucking broke loose. But I'm curious what actually happened. Um, well- Because he was there to get something signed and get on with his day.
Starting point is 00:16:08 Well, yeah, but I thought that maybe there'd be like a little bit of chat, like, how you going? And you'd spend a couple of hundred dollars on catering? Okay. Wasn't a couple of hundred dollars. Um, but- Was it less than a hundred? No.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Fuck. But well, okay. So- Actually, just on behalf of the tarpers and I, Tony, please tell us how the other half live. Well, well, no, when we, where we landed in the end of that conversation was that I told you that I'd ordered some like that mixed wraps and like a fruit plate thing. And I was like, you know what, even if you just take some things for the road or whatever, you know, I think that'd be cute.
Starting point is 00:16:45 I did also change my tune when I realized I was going to Tony's later that day. Yeah. So like I redacted the, my tone, but from before. Yeah. Which actually ended up falling through. Uh, so Brian did not come. It's all yeah. Um, so you, I said to you that I was getting it dropped off.
Starting point is 00:17:01 The window was between eight 30 and nine 30 and that, uh, the accountant was due to come at nine and you said, but what if he's there and the food hasn't even come yet? That is what happened. He came over and I said, Oh, I actually ordered like a little bit of food, um, to come and he goes, Oh, you didn't have to go to any trouble. Like, I just need you to sign this thing. And I was like, Oh, well, um, okay. Did you, did you want to stay for a coffee or something? And he goes, oh, you know what? Yeah. Oh, I'll stay for a coffee. And he's got like one sip left of his coffee and there's a
Starting point is 00:17:36 ring at the doorbell and it's the guy with all the food. And he walks in with like two big boxes of food. And I was like, oh, well now I feel bad that you've made me feel like you have to stay. And I was like, you just grab some stuff and take it with you. And so did you feel uncomfortable as uncomfortable as I feel now? I felt, I did feel really bad because obviously if it was there when he got there, I could be like, take whatever you want, but whatever you don't eat is fine. Ryan's coming over later. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:02 That meeting ended up getting canceled between you and me. I've got an accountant walking out the door and all this food. So yeah, I mean, as you can probably guess, Tobbs and I have eaten a lot of mixed wraps and fruit over the last couple of days because- Well, if that's the worst thing that's happened to you, you know what I mean? Like maybe I should get into the catering, but no one's coming industry. That's like- Yeah. And you go, oh, what a shame they've canceled. We have to eat all these sandwiches.
Starting point is 00:18:28 Like when you get a family deal from like Maccas or KFC and it's like, who are the other three people? Well, they go, how many forks do you need when you order like heaps of like, you know, when you, you go and like, you order an Indian and you get like eight carriers and they go, yeah, how many forks did you need? You go, 10. And you get like eight calories and they go, yeah, how many folks did you need? You go, 10. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:48 My whole family's coming over. So yeah, the actual catering, like our accountant, he really appreciated it. And he was kind of saying, oh, it's really nice, you know, because normally on a Friday, I actually just work from home. So it's kind of nice to like catch up, have a coffee, have a snack and like whatever. And we talked about a bunch of stuff. Like you said, it's tax time, there's shit going on. And we get along well, like his wife, I know he's got, you know, all that.
Starting point is 00:19:14 So we're having a good yarn and that was all fine. And then he goes, yes, like I said, I'm, I normally work from home on a Friday. Oh, such a shame. Cause today I can't just like head home after this. I was like, Oh, why? What do you got on? He goes, Oh, we do like outside consulting for all these businesses. One of the businesses we work for is having like a corporate retreat today that
Starting point is 00:19:37 we're like speaking at and chatting with them and whatever. So it's like an outside business. Yeah. And they've been invited to like talk at this thing. Doesn't little words corporate retreat just fucking. And then join their like corporate fun that they're doing. Oh, and it's like, who are you guys? We're the accountants. Oh, I just want to be home with my family. Yeah. And so I mean, corporate fun, you're making the noise about corporate fun already, but corporate fun for another business is maybe worse. Oh, it's way worse.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Like as bad as corporate, it's like five times worse. Cause you go, Oh, so it's not just all the people that I work with every day. It's like a few of them, but then just a bunch of other people that we're like consulting to. Imagine some of the Christmas parties or something, I don't think Christmas parties cause they're fun. Cause you just, you know, turn it on a little bit, but like corporate fun days you've done in the past.
Starting point is 00:20:27 And bumping into someone and go, Oh, good to me, man. But I don't think I've seen you around. And he goes, no, I work for an accounting firm that services your fucking needs. And I go, thanks for having us though. Had a little chicken Sambo. That was all right. Yeah. Nikk had a lot of catered food on Friday. Did you want some of the catering?
Starting point is 00:20:42 No, I actually went to some girl's house for breakfast. If you know what I'm saying. But I was like... What are you saying? Yeah, put a bit of fucking JST on that one. Yeah. How much should that come out to? It comes out to $69. No, okay.
Starting point is 00:21:00 We've always got that. I'm like, oh, you know, you got the classics at the moment, like axe throwing, bowling, you know, and he goes, oh, we've done both of those. Even axe throwing is a lot. But it's just that classic at the moment, isn't it? Do we have any interest in throwing axes as a team? I actually don't. That's not for me.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Sophie? I don't feel. Not for me. Okay. And I was like, oh, what's on the cards for tonight? And they go, darts. And I was like, oh, what's on the cards for tonight? And they go darts. And I was like, oh, you go and smoke heaps of darts to get out. That sounds all right.
Starting point is 00:21:30 That sounds good. And he goes, and he goes, nah, like going and playing darts. I was like, okay, like, all right. That's another thing. And he goes, huh, guess what we've got. So another business they consult to, they went and did a corporate fun thing for them. You are, I actually, I need a minute.
Starting point is 00:21:49 Hang on. I still need a minute with darts. Darts is interesting, isn't it? No, but it's like, for me, darts is you're drunk in a pub and you throw one dart one time. One. You didn't, oh, did you get a bullseye? No, okay.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Who cares? Or they're at the Royal show and it's like the balloons that are filled up and you like splat them. I see that as doing one throw of a dart. It doesn't seem like an afternoon of dart throwing. Yeah. And I guess a bit like the same reason why in my mind, the ax throwing thing is random. I'm like, it just sounds a little bit dangerous.
Starting point is 00:22:19 A little bit aggressive? Yeah. Like how much do you hate your, like when your boss is like, Oh, we've been so nice to you. And if you've got any aggression to let out and everyone's thrown fucking axes and you go, are you treating those guys? Okay. Well, so I don't want to know that the person in charge of HR can throw a fucking ax hard.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Yeah. It's just, I just think that's personal. Yeah. Do you guys remember when I suggested for corporate fun, we went and did a breath work workshop and you guys very quickly turned that down and that's fine, I respect it. That was, that felt like you were trying to tell me something. No, and it wasn't like that at all. It was more like, I want to do this.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Do you guys want to? Cause we could go together. For a corporate fun day, we're all going to go to therapy. Okay. Well, so what I'm about to tell you is worse than that. I think. No, it's not. No, I think it is.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Worse than breathwork, worse than therapy, worse than darts. As a team for corporate fun, they did hot yoga. Hot yoga. I was thinking yoga. Hot yoga. That's so much worse. I don't think I want to see anyone who works in payroll be that sweaty. You got no business being that oily at a supermarket.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Yeah. Cause Bikram or whatever the hot yoga was. So when I've done hot yoga, tell me if I'm wrong, like you're wearing like fuck all clothes because your clothes are going to get fucking drenched in sweat and it's gross. Yeah. But also you're exercising. So you kind of like, all right, obviously I'm going to wear my exercise clothes. There is one thing doing like a morning stretch with your team and like getting
Starting point is 00:24:07 into the day, let alone an actual yoga class and add heat to the, I just, I cannot believe that. You're going to smell things that have come out of your accountant's person. I, you're going to see inside your managing director's asshole. Cause they're going to be downward dogging in front of you. I just, I cannot believe that occurs in a workplace. It almost sounds inappropriate to me. I'm just like, absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:24:39 The breath work all of a sudden, can I just say it doesn't sound so bad? I think, compared to hot yoga. Are you just pitching this fictional story? No, no, this fictional story? And when you consider a breath work is actually pretty fun. So I've booked it in. No, no, no, no. That is harrowing. And the whole point of corporate fucking bonding is to actually hang out and have a conversation with the people you work with. Communicating with people that you don't normally see or you go, well, I never talk to the people in accounting or whatever. I I'd be with the sales guys. Never really met them, but I've, you know, broken some bread with them, but sweaty
Starting point is 00:25:09 yoga, you're busy trying, first of all, you're busy trying not to die. Yeah. Cause it's actually fucking hard. And then I just think, I don't want people seeing me cause like, you're in your active wear, you're in your active wear, you're skimpy active where you're sweating. You're like a little sweaty beetroot. And then you want me to come to work on Monday and have people respect me. Well, the other thing is that often a corporate fun thing ends with like either
Starting point is 00:25:34 a drink or food or something. Yeah. So then like, what's the shower situation? Then you're all getting the shower together. Like, but you know, so we're all getting changed and then going to go and have a wine and I've still got red face from doing the hot yoga. I've got oily sweaty hair from being in the hot room. What a logistical fucking nightmare.
Starting point is 00:25:55 We're all going to go shower up together. Like, or are you just cranking up the heater in the boardroom and then you're showering in the light toilet at work? So you think they didn't go to hot yoga? They just did a DIY job. Yeah. They just turned the iron on really hot. I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:26:11 It makes me feel weird things. So did when Nick rolls up to your place to have a coffee and a wrap, has he got these four different towels and he's short shorts? I'm guessing that was in the car, but they were going to darts obviously, but he goes, oh, you haven't like, yeah, a company we've been to before is like, I don't like that. It's crazy. Isn't it? No, I would like to know in today's Facebook thread, what is the weirdest corporate fun
Starting point is 00:26:38 you've been engaged in and whether it was like at your business or like you consult for another business. And that's the kind of thing I think that there is going to be that have just been like, Oh yeah. Well, once you've done the acts throwing and the fucking bowling, what else is there, or is this actually just the weirdest one? Cause it might be. Can I put something out there as well?
Starting point is 00:26:59 Yeah. When I worked in Perth, we had this like at the radio station. Yeah. We had this team building weekend the radio station. Yeah. We had this team building weekend down in Busselton. Yeah. So you work with these people all week and then we had to, at 9am on Saturday, meet and go to this place and we're going to get dropped home Sunday afternoon.
Starting point is 00:27:20 And I'm like, I spend all week with you guys. I don't want to spend. And I'm like, do I fucking put in a time card? Well, yeah. Cause you go, well, I'm not just working all week. So then it ends up that you've done five days, five days and the two in the middle, like 12 days straight. You've like worked full time. Yeah. And they did it. Yeah. And I was just like, who do you think you are? Nah, that's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. I they did it. Yeah. And I was just like, who do you think you are? Nah, that's crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Yeah. I would say if it was on a houseboat. That's in play. Oh yeah. But also go up on the Thursday if you want to do a fucking overnighter. Well, that's, yeah. And also people's lives are like their own to live. Like you don't own them 24 seven.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Yeah. We stayed at the, you know, Bunbury like a resort. The Lord Forest. No, you're thinking of the Lord Forest, which is Bunbury's greatest, the Busselton, this weird. I don't know. Have we talked about the Lord Forest on the podcast before? Yeah, we have.
Starting point is 00:28:16 Okay. Cause everyone knows how fucking good. But I talk about when I dropped the sausage in the garden, I hit my head on that pole, I think. That's not a good reason by the way. on that poll, I think. That's not a good time. Um, have we got any love to say, I got to love to say, um, and shout out to all our hot yoga friends, hot yoga is actually great. Oh, it's, it's not the shit.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Normal plus normally equals now. Yeah. Hot yoga, normal exercising, normal doing things as a team. Sure. Normal doing Hot yoga, normal, exercising, normal. Doing things as a team, sure. Normal, doing hot yoga with your friends out from work. Fucking weird. Shout out to Tapa Bambi Davidson. Hi Bambi. Who started the fucking blog.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Love to say it. She is on the Gold Coast and is a puppy trainer and has a little dog school. Oh, that's so sick. So. Are you thinking of opening a little franchise, maybe, in Melbourne? Come on down. I'd love to bring Pippa and see you.
Starting point is 00:29:10 I was walking a few dogs proudly wearing my Tarp T-shirt, and this 12-year-old walks past, give me the finger guns and goes, you love to see it. So I nod at this 12-year-old. There's nothing worse than the sentenced finger guns from a 12 year old. Cause all kids terrify me. And so if I saw a teen, a youth that weren't walking towards me, I'd cross the road. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:34 I go, well I can't handle that today. Except for the dogs. Yeah, of course. So I nod and smile at this 12 year old as if to say like, you know, I'm part of the club. We get it. In front of his mum. So his mum has just seen his 12 year old son and this like fully grown lady just like nod and smile at each other.
Starting point is 00:29:50 And mum's like, what the fuck is going on? And the mum is just like, I don't get it. What the fuck is going on here? I don't get it. Anyway, we both smiled and continued on with our day. That kid is going places. That's awesome. Oh, that's so sweet.
Starting point is 00:30:04 And thanks Bambi for sharing that. That's unreal. I, that's so sweet. And thanks Bambi for sharing that. That's unreal. I absolutely love to see that. I've got to love to see it here from Maggie. And I think this is one that Ryan you'll definitely relate to. Is it Maggie Beer who I had dinner with once? It's not, it's Maggie Bolt. Close. It is close. Maggie Boo? Bolt.
Starting point is 00:30:20 It starts with a B. Like you know in primary school there's two Maggie's in the class? Oh, Maggie boo. Yeah. I gotcha, I gotcha, I gotcha, I gotcha, I gotcha. I love to say, today I wore a white dress to work and didn't spill coffee or soy sauce from my sushi at lunch on my dress. I thought you'd like that.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Well, I do like it, but also like clearly I like. A brag, a real brag. No, I don't think that's possible. You don't think it could happen? No, that sounds like fake news. Maggie says, honestly, maybe my best accomplishment to date. And I agree. I got Bridget and I like sort of matching t-shirts from Thread Heads. So I got a t-shirt that it's like a Negroni one and I got her like the Margarita one. Oh, I remember you telling me about those. Yes. And so her white Margarita t-shirt lasted And so her white margarita t-shirt lasted
Starting point is 00:31:06 four minutes. Yeah. Because I brought those t-shirts home with Doritos and salsa. What a fucking move. Doritos and salsa? Danger. Underrated snack. Like people aren't doing that enough.
Starting point is 00:31:19 No, they're not. They really should be doing it more. It's fucking awesome, except when you're wearing a brand new white t-shirt and that chunky salsa and Bridget's like a bit of a daint. Like if you say, I bet you can't get this stain out. She's like, well, fucking don't tell me what I can't do. She's a real mad scientist with that shit. She's rolled the sleeves up and she cannot get the fucking deep salsery vinegar, tomatoey thing out of the white t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Do you know what? I actually think I might need to drop some clothes off to Bridget, because a few weeks ago, I went for one wine with Sophie, and a friend of hers came and smashed a whole glass of wine all over one of my white t-shirts, and I can't get that out. Is it true that when that girl dropped their glass, she went, where did all the wine go? There's none on me. She goes, I can't believe it. None of that went on me. And I was sitting there like covered in wine.
Starting point is 00:32:10 It was a great night. Except for the rest of the night. I did have wet wine shirt and jeans. Isn't that the worst feel, a wet wine shirt? Cause it's stained. Cause it smells and it's just like on your skin. Yeah. Like it is sucks to your skin.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Yeah. Um, so I might need a little bit of stain help from Breach. And if anyone else does anything, we'll do a load together. Redacted, surely. Surely. Confessions tomorrow. Love it. I've got a confession.
Starting point is 00:32:41 I did loads with the podcasters. Anonymous. Redacted. Redacted. Love you, bye. Are you sure you parked over here? Do you see it anywhere? I think it's back this way.
