Am I letting this as well? I don't have their name. Are you doing it? Hello, Hamish speaking. Hi, Hamish, it's Tony and Ryan. How are you? Oh, well, thanks. How are you guys? Yeah, we're great. And Ryan's here as well, of course. Hey, Hamish, thanks for taking the call. No worries. It makes my week as I've just been stuck in my room all week. Oh, Ham, bless you.

Thank you. Hamish, we just wanted to get your approval before we get started. Absolutely. Amazing. Thank you so much, Hamish, and thanks for listening as well. We absolutely, you love to see it. You love to see it. Yeah, no worries.

You do love to see it. Thanks, Haim. Bye. Bye. See you. Bye. You tried to fuck me there and he said his name. Thank God.

Yeah, I'm so disappointed with him. Hi, I'm Hamish and I approve this podcast. Welcome to the podcast. My name is Ryan John. I'm joined by Tony Lodge who is doing very phallic things to the microphone and doing gestures. I don't think that there was any need to bring it up. I said, is this microphone in a good spot?

And you said, yeah, and then I made a little joke. And if we can't make little jokes, then what's the point in being alive? Fair point, fair point. Hey, thanks for the feedback. Coming up in this episode, we've had some more feedback from last week's podcasts. I think someone was trying to give me a compliment in the feedback, but they've accidentally or not become my new mortal enemy.

And I'll get you to decide later if they're being complimentary or are they having a crack? but they've accidentally or not become my new mortal enemy. Oh. And I'll get you to decide later if they're being complimentary or are they having a crack. Oh, I hate when you can't decide whether someone's being like a backhanded compliment. Oh, no, but for me it wasn't even backhanded. I was just like, oh, righto. Okay, well, thanks for being part of the Tony and Ryan community.

But see ya. Wow. Yeah, right. He'll just listen for Tony. Yeah. Oh, I mean, most people probably do. I'm just the vice captain of this ship and doing my best, but feedback is coming up soon.

I read an article and it was talking about things that COVID has destroyed and I love one of them. I'm glad it's gone. Really? Yeah. So you're pro-pandemic? That is, I don't think that we should really get into that. That sounds, that's not good.

It doesn't sound good, does it? Move on to the feedback. Okay, okay, okay. Last week on the podcast, I don't know how we got around to it. I sort of forgot about it, but I mentioned that I was arrested. And just before we started recording, I said, Ryan, are you going to tell that story about how you got arrested? And you said, nah, I don't think anyone's going to care,

but I've been thinking about it for a whole week. Before I tell you what I did, if there was a scale between, like, bad boy or, like, real softy, where would I be on that scale? I definitely don't think you're a bad boy. You're not a bad boy. I wish I was a bad boy. Oh, do you? No, I don't think so.

But bad boy as in like cool hot boy that like smokes a cigarette and wears a leather jacket, that's the kind of bad boy you want to be because that's a bit like. Right. But you don't want to be a bad boy that like hits others or starts fights. Yeah, okay. And you're like, okay, well, I started a fight.

Do you want to have a guess? Now that I know you think I'm not a bad boy. Okay. What do you reckon I got arrested for? Okay, I'm going to give three options. Okay. Like a move along notice, like drunken disorderly in public and you got pushed along.

Public urination, maybe. I do need to pee a lot. That has been well documented. You pee a lot. And also, like, you know, if you get a bit drunk pants, I can imagine that happening. Yep. And maybe was it drugs related?

No. Because you do heroin. Can we just put a big asterisk? Tony's being sarcastic and joking, obviously. We know that it's fine. Safe space. Got a beautiful community of 1,000 people all here for you. It's not the third one.

We can strike one straight away. That's good. It's not the second one. Was it the first one? Was I right? When I tell this story, you will accuse me of the first one, but I will confirm that that's not what happened. Oh, okay.

Oh, hooker me through. I was arrested and put in jail. Jail? Yeah. Like overnight drunk tank jail? Yep. What? For jaywalking.

No. Yeah, and it's so embarrassing. Nah, that's a lie. That did not happen. So it's like two or three in the morning. Yeah, and it's so embarrassing. Nah, that's a lie. That did not happen. So it's like two or three in the morning. Yeah. And this is where everyone accuses me of being the drunken disorderly move along. Was this in Australia?

Yeah, it was on the corner of Bourke Street and Elizabeth, so right in the middle of the city in Melbourne, if you don't know. And it was two or three in the morning and I was standing in the middle of the road on my phone because my friend was like a few hundred metres down the street. And I was sort of, you know, on the phone. I was like, hey, we're down here. You know, sort of trying to like, hey, I'm waving to them.

And this cop pulls up and he goes, hey, mate, get off the road. And I went, oh. And so I stood on like, you know, a little traffic car, like a strip of concrete in the middle of like. Yeah, a median strip. Is that what it's called? Yeah. So I went and stood that what it's called? Yeah. So I went and stood on that and stayed on the phone, like just stepped up onto that and I was still kind of waving my friend

and the cop said, I told you to get off the road. And I went, I'm on the strip. And then he just goes, that's it, you're gone. And arrested me. What? Yeah. Like handcuffs behind my back, put into the back of a divvy van. No.

Yep. And like read my rights and stuff. How old were you at this point? 21, 22. And I was with my mate Elliot and he just watched the whole thing. Didn't do anything. So anyway. Oh, God, he's not invited to the wedding.

We get, I've already been married. Was he at the wedding? No. Oh, well taken. There you go. the wedding. We get, I've already been married. Was he at the wedding? No. Oh, well taken. There you go. There you go. So I get to the police station to be processed before you get put into the tank.

And because it is that time of day. Did they call your mum? Like, what did they do? No, no, they didn't. But I think he was sort of trying to get a rise out of me, the cop. And I had a look on my face of like, and I didn't say anything. Everyone assumes I got lippy. I did not get lippy.

Had you had a few beers? I had, but it wasn't that. And I wasn't like drunk, drunk. So you just stayed calm. You're like, all right, mate, sorry for doing the right thing. I was very annoyed. I was just like, surely there's better things for a cop to be worried about. So I was a bit like, really?

You know, that sort of, like, I was just, and there was no cars on the road, like, middle of the night, literally, like, dead. And I was like, is this what you're going to spend your, okay, whatever. So anyway, it turns out that jaywalkers don't get a lot of respect in the prison system. So you would have guessed it, right?

This story. I got put into this room and my roommates, cellmates as they call them. Oh, yeah. So one of them has punched a security guard. Then another security guard's come over. He's fly kicked that security guard. Then the police come in.

He knocks down two cops before the third, fourth and fifth jump on him and he's taken out about five people on his way in. He's a fucking kung fu panda. What are you talking about? So he comes in hot and he's like, the kind of guy who would do that is like... Hotted up and he's like... He's like...

And then he comes in and I was like, oh, mate, you okay? Like, I'm terrified. So he comes in to... You must have been so scared. I was so scared. And then he comes in and I was like, oh, mate, what's going on?

He's like, oh, well, this one security guard comes up and goes, you can't come in. So I snapped him. And then this other security guard thought, you can't punch a security guard. Bang, so I kicked him. And he was all fired up. I was like, oh, mate, what's going on? He's like, oh, well, this one security guard comes up and goes, you can't come in. So I snapped him. And then this other security guard thought you can't punch a security guard. Bang, so I kicked him. And he was all fired up. And then he was, like, telling me all this story. And as you can imagine, all the other hotheads who are also in, like,

the cells next door, they're like, yeah, get the police. Punch him back. You know, it's like he's sort of, like, telling this story. And everyone's all revved up. And they're like, yeah, you go him. Because, you know, everyone's got a bit of this anti-cop vibe because they've just all been arrested. And you're just this sweet little cushiony boy.

And then he looks at me and he goes, yeah, I punched a cop and I did this. What did you do? Oh, yeah, I just, I was walking across the street and he goes, yeah, then what? Did you punch someone? I was like, that's it. That's it.

I was on the phone to me, mate. And he goes, oh, so you got arrested for jaywalking? And someone three cells down bursts into laughter. The disrespect that jaywalkers get in the prison system is ridiculous. You should have made up a cooler story. I know. If I had my time again, I would have. Yeah.

So then this other guy comes in because you can have three in a cell in this one apparently. What kind of cell? Was it like the kind of cell with like the toilet in there? Yeah. Did you need to poo? No, but like knowing myself and my body now You had to wee a lot? Well yeah, because I'd had a few beers so it was a bit awkward So anyway, this third guy comes in

Actually let me give you some background on drugs in Melbourne, because apparently I know a lot about it Apparently, 98%. It turns out that if you have 10 or more pills on you, it's trafficking. Like that's a lot that's considered trafficking. Like you've obviously got enough to like... Intent to sell? Yeah, or just, you know, you've got enough that you're obviously passing them along.

Nine or less is just like personal possession. And the difference between getting done for trafficking or possession, like huge difference. This guy gets cornered by cops. He's got 14 pills with him. And he knows that if he's only got nine or less on him, the charges are like a slap on the wrist and a fine, whereas 10 or more, it's like three months, like proper.

So he's eaten five pills and been put in the joint with you. He's dropped five. And I reckon he'd been arrested about half an hour earlier. So by the time... So they were kind of kicking in. They were starting to kick in. And he was a very flamboyant man. He had red leather pants.

And he was up and about ready to party because he's pulled off this heist and he's full of... Pulled off this heist! And he's full of... Pulled off this heist! And he's full of the... What is this? A heist! Oh, that's made me lightheaded. What was that laugh?

I don't know. You sound like a baby had rolled over the wrong way. I just had a really, got a really bad head spin from that laugh. That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. This literally sounds like an episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. How did this happen? As in how did he get away with it all? What is happening?

Is this a real story? Yeah. So he comes in and he's like dancing. He's singing Kylie Minogue. Oh, good for him. He's like dancing around. And the other guy who's like a hothead, like he's not liking that at all. And so he starts like pulling on the cage.

Let me out of here. This guy's crazy. I'm like, that guy's crazy. You just punched three cops, mate. And here you think he's the crazy one? He's actually bringing a good vibe to this party. I don't mind him at all. So did you sleep there the night?

Yeah, but I didn't sleep much because I was just so scared and so nervous. You thought you were going to die. Yeah. Yeah. And then it turns out I was, and this is what really irks me, I got charged twice. One was for jaywalking and the second was some law like failing to obey police instruction.

That's not good. But the instruction was get off the road. And I'm like, surely that's the same crime. It's like I got done for jaywalking and for being told not to cross the road and I did. So two separate fines, two separate charges. How much was the fine? Do you remember?

I don't know. All I remember after that is because in theory when you go to jail you are repaying your debt to society. So when you leave jail they say the Queen thanks you for your jail, they say, the Queen thanks you for your service. Or no, the Queen thanks you for your time. Or something like really, and I was like, I wasn't offering. Okay, I've got so many questions. You've been to jail.

That's super exciting. And now I'm a bit attracted to you. Do you know what I mean? Because I'm like, oh my God, Ryan went to jail. Finally, she admits it. What did your mum say? She was disappointed. And she accused me.

She goes, oh, let me guess. When you got told to get off the road, you got lippy and you got arrested for being drunk. And I was like, no, I did not get lippy. In fact, I bit my lip. He was trying to get a rise out of me. And I was like, who do you think you are? Tony Lodge? No, she's the only one that gets a rise out of me. So I just, and I was like, maybe he had to fill a quota or this guy was just having a jerk night or something. I don't know. He just, yeah, it was so strange. Okay.

Has it ever affected you in the future, like trying to get a police clearance or anything like that? Has it ever affected you? No, because apparently if you pay your fine, like if you just accept it and pay it for these kind of like, it's called like an on the spot fine. Yeah. You just pay your fine and that's it. But if you like contest it, and this is probably like a strategy so you won't contest it, is like if you contest it and go to court, then it goes on your record. Yeah.

But they're like if you just pay it, then it's done, it's over. Oh. Because what's the, okay, I've got a question. What's the weirdest job you've ever applied for that you had to get a police clearance for? Because mine was for a job at J.P. Hi-Fi you had to get a police clearance for? Because mine was for a job at JB Hi-Fi. It's got a police clearance. They, like, ask if you've ever committed a crime and whether you, like, say yes to getting

a police clearance. I didn't get the job, though. You did get it? No, I didn't. You applied for a job at JB and didn't get it? I've applied for, like, 70 jobs at JB Hi-Fi. It was, like, the job I wanted. I wanted to work at Boost Juice or JB Hi-Fi.

Has someone ever told you you look like someone who would work at JB Hi-Fi? Have I just offended you? No, that is literally the highest compliment. I thought I just said something offensive. No, no. Everybody that works at JB Hi-Fi is cool as shit. Yep. Do you really think I'm cool enough to work at JB Hi-Fi?

Yeah, and you know about audio stuff? Like you'd be perfect. They're crazy. Do you think they'd hire me? Yeah. I'll apply now. Well, I don't think they I'm cool enough to work at Joby High Five. Yeah, and you know about audio stuff? Like, you'd be perfect. They're crazy. Do you think they'd hire me? Yeah. I'll apply now. Well, I don't think they're offering. Oh.

I mean, they probably are. I'll call them after this. Okay, great. Great. Sorry to interrupt. But my mum was a schoolteacher and then a school principal, and I think when I was in high school I got a job, like at after-school care.

Yeah. Like you just, you know. So you have to have working with children. Working with children, but they also, like, because it's a school and a government, like police checks, all this stuff. And I ended up working like two or three shifts. I was like, oh, I spent more time getting the police check than I had to getting the thing.

I had to get a really, this sounds like a really weird flex, but I had to get quite a high police clearance because I worked with the Dalai Lama once. What? That sounds like a lie. You worked with him? Yeah. Yo, it's a Dalai and Tony show.

Welcome. Like, Lama, Lama, what? No, that's not what happened. No. Is that culturally ins a Dalai and Tony show. Welcome. Like, llama, llama, what? No, that's not what happened. No. Is that culturally insensitive? I don't know. Is he a DJ? DJ Llama.

No, Dalai Llama. Oh, sorry, my mistake. So how did you work with the Dalai Llama? Well, this wasn't, we weren't planning on this going here and it sounds like such a weird flex, but I was working at UWA in Perth and I was working alongside this other guy who was one of my lecturers at the uni that I went to at WAPA.

And so I was working there like part-time while I was at uni and one day they were like, we've got this event coming up that we need you to work on. You need to get all this police clearance. I was like, that's really weird. That's not what we normally have to do. And they were like, we need to get all of these security photos of you and all of this stuff. I was like, are you joking? I don't think that this is necessary. Yeah. And then they were like, well, very confidentially, it's actually

for the Dalai Lama to come. Just confidentially, it's DJ Dalai Lama. Yeah. DJ Lama Lama Ding Dong. And they said, he's coming to do this big talk. It's for all, he's doing this, the rounds of Australia, his Australasian tour, and we need you to do the audio. And there was probably 20 federal police at the university protecting him and then also his posse of monks that he travels with. And they all walk around him and he walks in the middle and you're not allowed to, we weren't allowed to talk to him or touch him or anything,

but I had to put his microphone on him. I was going to say, who put the mic on? Yeah, so I actually. You touched the Dalai Lama. Well, so I went over to him and I said, His Holiness, I need to put your microphone on. Did you say His Holiness? That's how you address him.

And they said, you need to say this. Yes, yeah. So they like briefed you on how to talk to him, what to do, not to touch him and all of that. But you had to touch him to put the mic on. Well, yeah. So I said, hi need to say this. Yes, yeah. So they, like, briefed you on how to talk to him, what to do, not to touch him and all of that. But you had to touch him to put the mic on. Well, yeah. So I said, hi, His Holiness, my name's Tony and I'm going to be putting a microphone on.

Is that okay? Like and subscribe. Yeah. He follows me on Instagram. No. And he was like, oh, yes, of course. And before I put the microphone on him, he grabbed my hands. What?

And, like, blessed them. Those hands have been blessed by the Dalai Lama? Yes. And then I. I've seen those hands do unsavoury things and they've been blessed by the Dalai Lama. I saw those hands put a cheese Kransky in your face before we started recording.

And it was bloody good. And then I put the microphone like around his neck and I had, so I wear my hair in a bun all the time. Like, it's always in a big bun on top of my head. And he was like, oh, can I touch your hair? What? And I was like, and this is on the stage in front of all these people. Is this real? No, I'm being serious.

There's a video of it on YouTube. Wow. Okay, we'll see. That's so, yeah. Yeah, Antoine the Dalai Lama. Life's described. And he grabbed my bun and went like, boop, boop, boop, and, like, grabbed'll see. Yeah, and me and the Dalai Lama. Life's described. And he grabbed my bun and went like boop, boop, boop, and like grabbed my hair.

I wish that I was joking. This really happened. The Dalai Lama boop, boop, boop, boop your hair. He booped me. Yeah. And then all the crowd. How have I not known this? I don't know.

It doesn't come up very much because it's such a weird flex. How does this not come up in conversation? It's such a weird flex. Anyway. We talk about the Dalai Lama all the time. Why have you not known this? I don't know. It doesn't come up very much because it's such a weird flex. How does this not come up in conversation? It's such a weird flex. Anyway. We talk about the Dalai Lama all the time. Why have you not noticed this? Sorry, I wanted to save it for a great time. And then so we were in front of all the crowd and they all started laughing.

Then they had to start the conference. And then I put his microphone on and then, yeah, like it kind of went underway. And then at the end they were rushing him out because they were running over time. And I took his microphone off him rushing him out because they were running over time. Yeah. And I took his microphone off him and he was like, thank you so much, like grabbed my hands and like bowed at me.

Did he give you some words of wisdom before he left? He just said I had like a nice energy. He was right. You do have a nice energy. Oh, that's so kind. Thank you. Finally, me and the Dalai Lama agree. Yeah.

But that's like probably when people are like, oh, my God, who's the biggest celebrity you've ever met working in radio? And it's like, oh, Hamish Nandy, Rian John, you know. But it's actually the Dalai Lama from like years ago. I mean, it's hard for Hamish Nandy to compete with the Dalai Lama. And actually, so that was in the morning, and that afternoon I had my first ever job interview for a radio job. And did you get it?

No. Chalk that one up to the win in the morning and the loss in the afternoon. Imagine you should have got the Dalai Lama as a reference. Oh, I should have been like, can I grab your email address? Or they're like, Tony, thanks for coming in for this interview. Do you have a reference? Ah, yeah, the Dalai Lama. Yeah, literally.

He's number four. That's his phone number. What a crazy day. So you got arrested. I met the Dalai Lama. Who cares about me? I've been blessed by the Dalai Lama. You are an illegal walker.

I'm so embarrassed by how terrible my story was now that you've upped me. Oh, but I wasn't trying to do that. Well, you have though, haven't you? I wasn't trying to. Wow. Thanks for saying I look like I could work at JB Hi-Fi though. If someone can put in the Facebook group, hey, Ryan, great story about being arrested.

Can't even remember what Tony said after. Tony was saying, yeah, that's fine. What's the opposite of Trump someone? Biden. Political gear. You are on fire today. I'm fucking there. I stand corrected.

Just edit out my story. This is just the Tony show now. So, Tony, you did mention though that. I stand corrected. Just edit out my story. This isn't the Tony show now. So, Tony, you did mention, though, that. I can't back that up with that story. We're done now. We'll talk about what COVID's destroyed next time. Yeah, that's on Wednesday's episode. You listen to that tomorrow.

Hi, I'm Hamish, and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. Yeah. listening to Tony and Ryan. Alright, by the time this podcast comes out and you're listening to this right now, there will be a snippet of video that Tony and I have just watched during that break where the music was playing, validating Tony's bogus story that her and the Dalai Lama hung out and it's actually hilarious to watch. What were you saying about the video? So it kind of shows me putting his microphone on, but it cuts away to the host, Lizzy O'Shea,

before he boops my hair. But you can hear all the crowd laughing and they're laughing at him going boop, boop, boop, boop on my ponytail. We'll make a reel or a TikTok out of that because that is unbelievable. I can't believe I didn't know that. Oh, I feel really bad for taking over your story. I know.

I'm just here. Actually, I've got something about that. Let's get into some feedback. Okay, great. Because I'll start with this one. This is a review on Apple Podcasts, by the way. Oh. I love Tony.

Cute. And Ryan is like the butter to her bread. Now, are we being fat shamed or is that who is fluffing who here? I think they're saying that you're a great addition to me. So it's. If you had bread and butter, which is the most important? Who's the hero of that combo? You know what I'm saying?

Okay, okay. So I've got a couple of thoughts on that then. You can have butter on its own. You shouldn't. No. Because you'll die. Yeah. But it's delicious. Correct.

You can have bread without butter. Try. But why would you? No. We need each other. Okay. Even if you don't believe that, I'm glad that you said it. I believe it.

Because I'm just the butter to your bread. No, because, like, you know when you have a piece of toast and it's all hot and then you put the butter on it and it melts in and sometimes it just. It becomes as one. Yeah. And it's like you can't imagine one without the other. No.

And I think about my past and I think, where was my butter? Where was it? My life was dry. And now you're soaked. Now it's moist. All right. Victoria Fogarty has left a comment and this is actually a very interesting point. Oh, okay.

And it's the same feedback that my wife Bridget gave and also DJ Scudder slash Scatman from the Jason Lawrence show on Kiss gave the same feedback. Oh, no. Victoria says, I 100% panic every time I push play on the podcast and hear the phone ringing when someone's calling to give approval. Victoria says, I listen in the car and I think, oh, my God,

I've accidentally called someone and I'm trying to disconnect my phone from the player and stuff and I freak out. I've had a few messages saying the same thing. And you know what? I'm not even going to apologise for that because it's good to have a little jump start. That'll wake you up more than a coffee. Do we, from tomorrow, add a little whoosh or something

or are you just like, no, stuff them? Okay, or should we start with like, warning, you have not killed anyone. Called anyone. Tony. Sorry, I meant to say called. I meant to say called someone, but I said killed. We're talking about you in jail.

I'm more confused. Yeah. You have not killed anyone. Called anyone. What is happening? Are you speaking English? What is happening? What is happening to your laugh today?

Oh, my God. I sound like the little penguin from Toy Story 2. She's squeaking. Sorry. Have you seen Toy Story 2? The little penguin? I think I... No, I can't remember.

I just remember Toy Story 3 when you think it might be all over and i just like screamed in the cinema i was bawling my like is this it literally oh my tony you're not crying you cried last week on the show because of the paralympics oh the paralympics and their mums on zoom um toy story 3 i think i cried three times during that film. Beautiful. Because right at the beginning you're like reflecting on Andy's life and for me, because I'm young, you might not relate to this, but when I was a kid when they first came out,

I was the same age as Andy. Oh, okay. And then he was going off to college in Toy Story 3. That was the same year I started uni. Are you Andy? No. Okay. I did have Will and Woody.

Woody and Buzz dolls. They'll appreciate that. They'll appreciate a shout out. And I put Tony on the bottom. Oh, that's cute. That is cute. Yeah. My mum did it.

That is very cute. Well, so to answer the question. Oh, sorry. What was the question? The question was, are we changing the intro? Oh, yeah. No, we have not killed question. Oh, sorry. What was the question? The question was, are we changing the intro? Oh, yeah. No, we have not killed it. Tony Lodge, what is wrong?

What is going on? Have you murdered someone in the last 24 hours and you just like got, like, why is death on the- Why is remorse? Warning, you have not called anyone. Or do we just keep doing it? Maybe put some music on. Hey, find out on tomorrow's episode what we decided.

Oh. What can you throw? Download tomorrow's episode. Speaking of tomorrow's episode, by the way, it's the He's All That review from Netflix. Everyone's done their homework. That's tomorrow. Yeah.

No More Plain Jane is their name, leaving this review. The Aldi in Abbotsford is also my local, so now I listen to you guys for that reason. Oh, that's a great reason to listen. Like, I appreciate you listening, but that's why you listen? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. What about how good it is?

Oh, my favourite show on Amazon Prime is this one. Oh, why do you watch it? Oh, the show's actually not that great, but I buy the same bread as the producer, so, you know, that's why I watch it. What bread do you buy? Oh, you've got... Oh, no, you'll have some artisan bread that your wife Bridget buys.

It gets delivered. We have, like, a subscription. Yeah, the flying zucchinis, right? Yeah. Yeah. Bread subscription must be nice. It's cheaper and saves you time. Yeah.

Now, there's been lots of feedback about, and a lot of chatter about your boyfriend Torbs and his postage. Now, last week, Tony told us that he bought something from LA and he had to second by second give updates. And one of the comments was it went from LA to Kentucky, which is actually away from Australia. Yes. And there was a lot of confusion and we were both like, who cares?

Yes. It turns out lots of people cared. Lots of people care. And I did know you were going to bring this up, but I've actually got the breakdown that I got my boyfriend, Torbs, to send me of where it actually went, if you'd like to know. Well, I don't, but Bella might. This is what Bella said.

This might sound ridiculous, but I thought the package updates was super interesting and I'm personally really invested into why the package was going to Kentucky. Okay. Well, Bella, you can date him then if you care that much. Okay. No. So this is an update from Torbs.

It went from Texas to LAX to Kentucky. It's almost gone back to Tech. Yeah. To Hawaii to Sydney and then to Melbourne. That's fascinating. Which actually ended up being quite interesting, but he didn't tell me about it because he thought I didn't want to know. Because you told him off.

Because I paid him out online. I actually did some research of my own during the week. Oh, yeah. Have a quick listen. Hello? Hello? Hello, is that Lauren? Yeah, this is she.

Hey, it's Ryan John calling from Australia. How are you doing? I'm good. How are you? Good. I was just calling on behalf of Tony's boyfriend, Torbs, and I just wanted to know, have you seen the package? I have not, but I'm keeping a close eye out for it. Now, where do you live?

Nashville, Tennessee. So how far is that to Kentucky? Like an hour south of it. Okay, so not quite on there, but you're keeping an eye out. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you to Lauren. Lauren, thank you so much for keeping an eye out. Did you do that during the week when we went together?

Yeah. That's really lovely. Well, it's not about me. It's about the synthesizers or whatever the F Torbs is ordering. The resistors in Kentucky. All right. Final piece of feedback, and this has really worked me up, and I think I've got a new enemy in Zach.

Okay. Oh, yeah. No, I want to know. So this is the one that's the backhanded compliment but actually just rude. It's just rude. Sorry, Zachary. Yep. Zachary Warner.

I'll name him. Oh, calm down, Abby Chatfield. This is on Twitter. Yeah. People, I recommend this Australian podcast, Tony and Ryan. You will not be disappointed and you can trust me because unlike Ryan John, I don't give shit recommendations. Zachary Warner.

I'm so glad that's taken off. It makes me so happy that people now shit you at recommending stuff. Now, is he being nice? No. Absolutely not. He's saying, listen to Tony and Ryan. Ryan's also there, but Tony's great.

Well, what's going to be the title of this episode? Tony clearly better than Ryan. Oh, I'll take it. I mean, I write them, so I can write whatever I want. You know what I might call it? What? The butter to my bread or something. That'd be quite cute.

That is cute. Yeah. Or actually, no, it should be more hooky. Something about the Dalai Lama or you getting arrested. It's a great episode today. Great episode. Great episode today. Can that be my You Love To Say It?

Are you that short on You Love To Say It? No, I'm not. I'm not. I've got a good one. Well, let's do that. Let's get out of here. But just a reminder, tomorrow, because we're doing three episodes this week. I know.

Tomorrow there will be an episode that is, I'd say, half dedicated. Like half of the show will be a review on He's All That. We gave everyone homework. A lot of people begrudgingly watched it as well. It has been a hot button topic inside our group. Yeah. Speaking of the group though, Maya, you'll love to see it, is that our group hit 1,000 people.

Yeah. Which, insane. There's 1,000 people right now talking about my next-door neighbour's cat called John and Torbs' package being in Kentucky. Well, I would never have met Lauren from Nashville if it wasn't for the group. Lovely to meet you, Lauren. Lovely to...

And thanks for keeping an eye out on the Watch Post. We appreciate it. Watch Post? Like when you're... Like a watchman? Yeah. What did I say? I don't know.

I can't remember. Yeah, who cares? Hey, my love to see it is... Yours was kind of nice and sentimental. I also did love to see that. Yeah. I saw this article during the week that this couple got married and instead of having a flower girl, they had a beer boy.

So just a guy walked down before the bride and just handed out brewskis to people in the audience and they're like, oh, the flower girl thing was a bit too prissy for us. We wanted just something a bit more laid back and adult. So this guy, just like someone's cousin, just walked down and was like, g'day, champion. Here you go. Beer Boy.

It's the new flower girl of 2021. That's quite fun, isn't it? I love to see it. Yeah, you love to see it. All right, chat to you tomorrow. Love you, bye. Bye.
