Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast.
My name is Ryan.
This is Dr.
Arthur Tony Lodge.
We are calling the podcast Spiritual Home.
That is Toowoomba.
Toowoomba. To Womba, from Womba. Tony and Ryan.
Emma!
Oh my God, this is the most exciting day of my life.
Mine too!
Same, same.
Why, what are you doing later?
I'm just joking.
No, Emma.
It's about me.
Is it true that you work at a school and you've left the year 12 graduation day to come and
take this call?
That is very much the truth.
Yeah.
Because, you know, I clearly have my priorities, right?
I actually think it's fine.
Did you get to see your favorite kid already though?
Like cause you know, I know I love them all equally, but like, you know, if you know that
your favorite is around the bees and you got, well after I've seen the bees, I can probably slip out. Yeah. Yeah. Look, I can't confirm nor deny,
but between you and I and all the other tarpas, totally.
Yeah, we know. I like that. Well, as someone who wasn't that student,
I'm literally thinking about how I was.
Like I'm like standing here being like, oh yeah, like my teachers were like,
as long as I'm there for the L's, I'll be sweet.
Like I'm thinking about how that's a reality.
I don't know if that is a reality for the teacher, but I believe that you believe that.
Nah, it would have been. I can tell. I can tell.
Emma, will you approve today's podcast?
I would love nothing more.
Yay!
Legend.
Hey, this is Emma from Toowoomba Queensland and I approve this podcast.
Today is one of the biggest days on the calendar in the Tony and Ryan podcast, because towards
the end of the year, we do this segment once a year and it's called Tony's fucked fact.
And Tony's nervous.
And the reason it's only once a year is because I was like, isn't that so fun?
And Ryan was like, no.
So we were only allowed to do it once a year.
It's because of the fact that you gave me on that specific day about the murderer.
I didn't find that interesting.
It was just maths.
You do a lot of maths chat though.
Well maths is a real untangible thing.
Maths is the least untangible thing.
It is like the most like straight up and down.
Tangible means you can hold it, but maths is like so like it's confusing tangible with flexible because yeah, it
is fact.
Yeah, like it is.
It is what it is.
Yep.
I thought tangible meant flexible.
No, tangible is like, this is a tangible.
Yep.
Yeah.
Correct.
Um, okay.
Fucked fact is coming.
I'm excited about it personally.
Uh, before you said, are you in a good mood? Because you need to be because I'm nervous.
Well, because I was like, I need you to just be like in the right place.
I'm ready.
I want to hear a good fact fact.
Yeah. Okay. Great.
I'm not looking to shoot anyone down.
I want to be impressed.
I am a fan of fact fact.
I am, you know that, you know, I love a fact.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I mean, no, I'm actually excited.
Please don't do that side.
I think because I'm actually pumped and I'm really proud of them.
Previously, there's been chat of like, if it's really good, does it become weekly
or monthly or whatever, but I think you were like, nah, you prefer the once a year.
I think that once a year is good.
Um, and also because it really does make me anxious because.
Yeah, but maybe if you do it more often, it would take the pressure off.
But also how many facts are there?
You know what I mean?
Probably seven.
Like there's not that many.
So I think that it's good to keep once a year.
It's like Christmas.
Yeah.
Once a year.
Poor crackling.
And how exciting is that?
It is exciting.
Let's do my segment. Normal or Nah. I you're here. Poor cracklings. And how exciting is that? It is exciting. Let's do my segment, normal or nah.
I love normal or nah.
The original.
Campaign for normal or nah to be more than once a week.
Well, I think if we're pulling back on confessions.
Yeah.
Something's got to go there.
Could we do facts?
No.
I refuse.
Molly.
And if you do facts, then I'll just go, no, every time, no matter how much I like
it, I'll just go, terrible.
I'm like, Oh my God.
Did you know Leonardo DiCaprio was supposed to be American psycho, but he did beach
instead?
I haven't seen the beach or beaches or whatever that movie's got.
Very different to beaches.
That's with Barbra Streisand.
Which is the very Bette Midler.
Yes.
Yeah.
It's the very similar title, but like a very different movie.
Oh, well I haven't seen either.
As you can probably tell.
Yeah.
Is this, dare I ask, A Christmas Normal or Nah?
Or is it just-
That would have been a great idea.
Redacted.
Yeah.
That is actually a really good idea.
That's fine.
Molly. Hi, sorry. Redacted. Yeah. That is actually a really good idea. That's fine. Molly.
Hi, Molly.
Um, Molly Christmas to you.
Have a Molly Christmas.
My partner loves getting into a juicy comment thread on Reels.
You know how sometimes you see a reel and it's like, I sprinted to the comment section.
Oh yeah.
You don't like the comment section?
I, I try and stay away.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, cause I watched this thing about how when you watch something before you
make up your own mind, you read the comments and that makes up your mind.
Yeah.
I think it's like when you say something a bit like, did anyone else say that?
Yeah.
And then you go to the comments and go, yeah, we did.
Yeah.
But I think I'm like trying to, oh, I make up my mind before I like read someone else's thing. Respect that? Yeah. And then you go to the comments and you go, yeah, we did. Yeah. But I think I'm like trying to, oh, I'll make up my mind before I like read someone else's thing.
Respect that.
Yeah.
Do respect that.
Yeah.
So Molly's partner loves getting stuck into the comments.
Yep.
But as he spends around five minutes reading the comment, the same dumb shit, 10 second reel just keeps the is just playing over and over and over.
Yep.
And it drives me insane.
And I don't know if he doesn't care or if he doesn't realize, but we're
laying in bed and it's just.
Looping.
Yep.
Okay.
Does anyone else listen to the same audio over and over and over for 10 minutes or nah?
I'm just, I need a minute to get down off my high horse because when I do get
stuck into a juicy comment section, I do get so overwhelmed by the thing that I
like scroll them back down and like pause the video or mute the video or turn my
volume down or whatever so that I can keep reading.
It's the same when people go recipe in the caption and you're trying
to read it, but the thing just keeps fucking playing over.
Is that how they trick you to getting into lots of views?
Yes.
Like it's a bit of a fucking sneaky hack.
Because the video goes for two seconds, but you're sitting there reading the thing.
Yeah. So I was like, oh, 10 million views. And you go, no, it was just three people.
Trying to get your fucking recipe for your peppermint fucking ding-dong, whatever.
Once a year.
You are lashing out. She said ding-dong. I actually whatever. Once a year. You are lashing out.
She said ding dong.
I, you are nervous.
You are nervous.
Yeah.
I need to, I actually, I need to calm down.
I think I would like it if you said something really nice to me and you
weren't going to say something really bad, like my version of ding dong, just
like be on the same level.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, the opposite.
I need you to say something really nice to me.
Okay.
It should not be that hard.
I think that your Christmas parodies this year are a true testament to your
creativity and your voice and something that's truly special that a lot of people
will love to watch and be a part of and share with their family this Christmas. And what is Christmas if not sharing things with
your family and the fact that Tony Lodge can be that thing is beautiful. And you should be proud
of that. And that ass. That's really nice. You should be. And I actually know that you're not
being a dick. I know that that was a really genuine thing for you to say. Are you about to cry? That was really nice. No,
I'm not going to cry. I'm not a pussy. The tinsel's in my eyes.
Do you know what I tried to buy? Prescription goggles.
prescription goggles.
And I am so upset that it's like a really difficult thing to try and purchase.
Okay.
Business idea.
Business idea. Send your prescription to a goggle place and they send them back.
So that exists.
So what are we talking about?
So that is what I'm saying.
It's difficult.
Is it?
I just described it.
It seemed pretty simple.
Exactly.
The business model and there's several of them.
So I was like, have we stumbled across the next Uber?
Uber for prescription goggles.
You know, when you're down the street in the city and you're just like, fuck, I
could swim in two seconds if only a car pulled up with my prescription.
Goggles.
Goggles.
Yeah.
No, so that is basically how it works.
The admin part of it.
What, the bit where you send it?
But before you can send it, you have to have it.
And I don't know my prescription.
So I'd have to then call Bailey Nelson and be like, yo, can I please have my
prescription and then what they're going to give it to me.
And then I have like, sometimes I'm, I've been on the same, like anxiety medication
for probably two and a half years.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
That's not, it's like an achievement.
No, not really.
I don't know.
Yeah.
Um, yeah, it used to be this morning.
Congrats.
Yeah.
And so I have to go back every three months and go, good day doc.
Same again.
Great.
And I was just like, can't he just,
Oh my God.
Don't speak to doctors like that.
We don't like it.
And so I go to the pharmacist and I go,
and I go, you're out of repeats.
And I go, I've been coming here for two years.
Can you just give me the stuff?
Like, you know that I'm all good.
I come here three seconds before you close once a month
going fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
I don't have any.
I don't have anything to take tonight.
You know me, cause you're the,
I'm the guy that go, you have to stay
late for cause I come in and you hate me.
Yeah.
Do me a favor.
Yeah.
And she goes, you know what you need?
And yeah, and it's cause can't you just go, can't you just go dig
goggle shop short-sided and they go great.
It's on its way.
And that's what he says.
So I just walk into the pharmacist and he goes, how can I help you?
And I said, I'm fucked up.
Yeah.
And he goes, is this.
Yeah.
And I go, great.
See you next month.
It's just a big thing of glucageal jelly beans.
And that would probably solve it.
Can I eat one mid podcast?
No, people hate that.
They're just there.
Show some restraint.
Um, I, yeah.
Restraint is actually the name of the medication.
So I have to call the place, get the information.
I'll call OPSM right now.
Okay.
OBSM can't help you that I don't have my script.
Who does?
Bailey Nelson.
Um, but no, so I've got to, I, it's too late now anyway.
So I'll call Bailey Nelson.
Please don't.
Hello, Bailey. No, I'm after Nelson actually.
Is that two people?
I have no idea.
I don't know.
I doubt it because the other one that's the same is like Oscar Wiley.
And that's just two names.
Do you know what I mean?
So if we start with Oscar Wiley and let's place our bets.
I reckon Oscar Wiley, because it's such a great name, is just the name of branding expert made up.
And it's just a name.
Oscar Wiley is named after Oscar.
The Grouch?
Motherfucker needed glasses.
No wonder he was so angry all the time.
He's so mad.
All right, Bailey Nelson.
How good is Bailey's at Christmas? I... That's my love to say it. I fucking needed glasses. No wonder he was so angry all the time. He's so mad. All right, Bailey Nelson. Um.
How good's Bailey's at Christmas?
I...
That's my love to say it.
I do like it.
And then...
Welcome to love Googling by the way.
This is my...
This should replace Confessions next year.
I think it could.
On Tuesdays we Google shit.
Um, oh, and the name of the eyewear company, Bailey Nelson, comes from the
Bondi neighborhood where the founders were living when they started the business.
That's quite cute.
That is cute.
That is cute.
Any other, um, prescription glasses related questions?
No, but yes, I don't, I didn't get the goggles in the end, so I won't be able to
take them on holiday.
If you give me a little bit of info, I'll get them for you.
I'll take the admin on.
No, you don't have to do that.
Cause it's like I've just explained.
It's heavy.
We're going to have two weeks off the show.
And, but I, I like need a summer project.
I can't just like sit.
What's a summer project?
I don't think it's going to take you that long.
No, no.
Like I need, like, I need something.
So every day I can just like do a little bit more and feel like I'm doing something
before I start drinking Negroni's flat out from 11 a.m.
Yeah.
Like I just need some-
That's a lot of time to kill actually before 11.
So I want to get up and I want to exercise.
Yep.
Then I want to have breakfast with Mabes.
Yep.
Then I want to have a coffee and just like spend 10 or 15 minutes just like doing something.
Yeah.
Then the Negroni's kick in.
Yeah.
Okay.
So maybe this could be that thing.
All right.
So you pass it over.
All right.
Is there anything you'd like to do for me over the break?
No, I'm not taking on any admin.
In fact, I'm farming it out to you.
Brian.
No, Ryan is your name?
Brian from Scotland or as they would say,
Brian.
That was good. If you said the right name. Brian from Scotland or as they would say, Brian. That was good.
If you said the right name, has a normal or nah.
Brian.
Yeah.
Who's Brian?
That's just how they would say it.
Go again.
Brian.
Yeah.
No, you're right.
Brian.
We need to get past the accent because this is fucked and we need to concentrate.
We need to be on our game.
And I'm sorry for questioning the accent because I've thrown a red herring, but we need to get past the accent because this is fucked and we need to concentrate. We need to be on our game. And I'm sorry for questioning the accent because I've thrown a red herring,
but we need to concentrate.
So I feel good.
My girlfriend was eating a banana while her pat.
I'll fuck that up.
I primed everyone else and I'll fuck that up.
Yeah, you did actually.
You actually have to concentrate on this one.
The energy's off.
We're off.
Something terrible's happened.
Hello, OPSM?
Call OPSM in Perth because I've got to go there for a checkup because of fucking Charles.
Who's fucking Charles?
Don't know.
You have to ask him.
Brian in Scotland.
Let's concentrate Brian.
My girlfriend was eating a banana while her pet rabbit Basil sat next to her on the couch.
Oh, no, hang on.
That's what you say.
Okay.
Where I was like, we're going to need a lot of.
Brian's girlfriend.
Yeah.
Eating a banana. Yeah. With the pet rabbit next to her on the couch.
Yeah.
And the pet's rabbit's name is?
Ben.
Basil.
Basil.
What a cute name for a rabbit.
She would take a bite and then we'd just like it out. And then like, that is so cute.
Bazaar would like have a crack at it.
And then she would like keep eating it.
Brian.
I'm sorry.
Oh my God.
That's my gift.
I love it when you do accent work.
That is your secret Santa present.
That's a...
If I had you.
Oh, don't give it away.
This is the rabbit who eats its own shit from its own ass while it's coming out.
Do you know that?
OK, so I've been reading a lot of facts recently, as you know,
and you know, your research rabbits pull out 200 times a day.
That's why I was called Ravi as a child.
No, it wasn't.
And I was because of my buck teeth.
That's very funny.
Okay.
That is really funny.
But like 200 times a day, that shit.
I read that fact.
So it then eats its own shit while it's coming out.
Do you want to like go back and forth on a banana with it?
To be honest, the love of a mother knows no bounds.
And I would eat anything with Pippa and shit.
Like I kiss her on the mouth.
She looks me on the face.
Like there's actually, do you know what I mean?
Yep.
I don't know.
I think it's fine.
It's good for the immune system.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
Have a bit of poo here and there.
I want to go on holiday now.
I've had enough.
The laptop the other day, it's all, it's all becoming too much.
The energy's off.
All right.
Coming up next.
No!

Lodge. Hope that Ryan has brought his own towel. He's his own species.

Merry Christmas.
Okay, we've had our fun.
Bit more towel gear.
We've had our fun. I was more Tao gear. We've had our fun.
I was welling there, which is good.
My wife has actually requested that I retire the Tao chat, but I think in the last month
I've started to ramp it up and really lean in.
I think you have to.
And also, I mean, people love it.
Give them people what they want.
Exactly.
Who are you to deny?
Not giving Barbas what they want.
Just that one.
Yeah.

Thanks for keeping the lights on.
Um, if you have thought about joining the Patreon, um, it's a great time.
Um, not cause there's a sale, but because someone could buy
it for you for Christmas.
Ah, so there's like a gifting membership option.
Maybe just send someone the cheeky link for it.
Yeah.
Maybe a good idea.
So it's at patreon.com slash Tony and Ryan slash gift.
I don't know if that's a real link. Is it? It is. Um, but.
Good for us.
Yeah, that is good. Um, and you can kind of send someone that link,
bit cheeky. You can buy like a year's worth or whatever,

You're not going to like this, Tony.
What?
When you go to patreon.com slash Tony and Ryan slash gift,
it's actually really set out really nicely.
Oh, great.
Which I know unchecked.
Oh, I think this is showing US pricing.
Anyway, so you know how our long banner says like Tony and Ryan?
Yes.
They've randomly like clipped out a card out of the long banner.
Can I see?
So it's Ryan.
Oh, that's fine.
People know what they're getting there for.
Yeah.
That's okay.
Great.
You're finally getting the recognition that you deserve.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Um, okay.
It's time for Fucked Fact.
Yay.
Very exciting.
Now we're best friends. How are you feeling? I fucked fact. Yay. Very exciting. Now we're best friends.
How are you feeling?
I feel good.
Okay.
Now I just want to share that I think a lot of the comedy and passion of fucked fact comes
from you choosing one and saying, this is my fact.
I am backing this one in.
Yeah. I will accept. I'm going to do three, two, and one.
And maybe that warms me up and jazzes me up, but it still comes down to the one.
I feel like throwing three and hoping I like one and then going, yeah, I got it.
Is a bit of a like, I think you need to back it in.
And you did this the other day when we did our favorite videos of the year.
Cause I just get so nervous. And you did this the other day when we did our favorite videos of the year. Cause I just get so nervous.
You're a hard man.
Very tough, hard, hard.
But like you're hard to impress.
And I don't think you understand the pressure.
I do. To be this good.
Yeah. I feel it every day.
But like, I just, I really want you to like it.
Why are you laughing, Sophie?
I really want you to like it. I really want you to like it.
Okay.
But if I have an opportunity to do three, but what if then you don't like the number
one, but you like one that I gave you then like how fucking stressful.
We've done that another year.
And that's why I was surprised to hear that you've brought three in.
Um, Tony and I are doing a, I'm not sure if it's out yet, a reaction video.
That is the most viral videos of the year.
And then we both pick our own favorite video and Tony's like, cool, I've got four.
Well, cause I thought I'll just pick one randomly.
Then we watched one, you're like, that's pretty good.
And then we watched another two that I brought and you thought they were really good.
So I ended up making you laugh three times.
The thing for me is not about winning the competition.
It's about spreading joy.
So I brought more videos to spread even more joy.
I brought more facts to share even more knowledge. Sorry.
Do you hate to learn?
Beautiful. Do you hate to learn? I think you're lashing out.
Do you hate to learn? You're nervous and you're lashing out.
Do you hate to learn? I love to learn.
Well, apparently not.
Okay.
I'll be going three, two, one.
Oh my God.
I get what you're saying, but do you at least understand the lie?
Yeah, but I just want to win.
Let's set me up.
Oh, I don't care about winning.
I don't care about joy.
Setting me up for a loss.
Two minutes ago.
Fuck, fuck to be the first one.
And then you win.
Easy.
Okay.
Okay. Okay. So over the years I've fucking really tried to understand the inner
workings of Ron.
My areas.
Um, and I now kind of know your areas.
I think the other thing that throws you off is that because you actually
share not so much on the pod, but like in real life, you share a lot of facts
with me, but you don't say,
here's a fact or did you know you got, have you heard that thing?
And that's kind of how you get into it.
So are you embracing that today?
No, no, no.
But I guess I'm just saying like, I know that when something's called a fact
instantly, you kind of go, I hate that.
So no, I love facts, good facts, but you, but what you have decided is a good fact is like very specific.
And then when there's other facts, you go, well, I don't care about that.
You go, no. So I've really tried to get the areas.
Would you like to say of the three to one, or if you haven't decided the audio,
the category, the areas of the three, they are all the same category.
And what is category is that film facts.
Did you see my tummy?
Was that your stomach?
I'm like, holy shit.
I heard that.
Oh my God.
Sorry.
I'm so hungry.
Um, yeah, they're all like film based facts.
Okay.
What I will let you know is what I let you know earlier in the week is that I've
watched five movies this year and three of them have had Lindsay Lohan in them.
I don't know if that's Lindsay L of them are Lindsay Lohan based.
That's what I mean. Maybe that's not good. Maybe you like, cause I'm, my, my film
knowledge is real like-
Yeah, I'm about to expand it.
And I'm ready.
Okay. So one of them is-
Number three.
This is the third one. And this one's kind of for me, but I think you'll find it interesting.
I'm going to show you these two photos. So in the new
Wicked film, those tulip fields were actually really planted for the film. They're not CGI.
They planted 9 million tulips. The production designer went through and like, because all
tulips of different sizes bloom at different rates.
And so they go for all of them to bloom at the same time.
We need to plant the white ones two weeks out, but we need to do the pink ones
this time, whatever.
On one specific day, so we can get that shot.
Yes.
And, um, they planted 9 million tulips and the tulip field is the side of 12 football.
Pitches.
Holy fuck.
That's for wicked.
For wicked.
Yeah.
And can you do, and the shot.
Yeah.
In the movie.
So it's actually right at the beginning of the film, there's all these kids running
through it and then the top photo that I've shown you will pop it on the screen.
Yeah.
The top photo that I'm showing you is kind of like, then dips in and that's like where the city is.
That's fucking incredible.
Nine million tulips.
Isn't that unreal?
And you know what area you've tapped into?
Because this year we've been doing a lot of work in the backyard.
So you're actually hitting garden chat.
Huge.
Yeah.
That's a great fact.
Hey, huge facts.
Okay.
Now, if that was number one, that would have been number one. Cause I did it first. No, no, no, no, no, that's huge. Nah, that's good. That's a great fact. A huge fact. Okay. If that was number one, that would have fucking.
Cause I did it first.
No, no, no, no, no.
That's huge.
Nah, that's good.
That is great.
I love that.
Well, that's the only one I'm going to do.
And that's the fact.
No, I'm looking forward to number two.
Number two.
No, that's it.
Here we go.
Nope.
There's no more facts.
Here we go.
There's no more facts.
I know it was actually a red herring.
I told you that there were three.
I don't have any more paper told you that there were three.
I don't have any more paper.
Like that's actually it.
Is that actually it?
That is the fact because I knew that if I told you there was heaps you'd react really well.
It was incredible.
Yeah, it was.
Yeah.
But the thing about it being incredible is like, I'm so worked up for the next two
now, because I thought you'd really, I was like then it's pretty cool.
It's a great fact, but I also knew.
Nine million tulips, one for every person that lives in New York City.
And so they actually had to like, they, where they filmed it, like it's like out
in London, out in England, and it's like this random farm that like, the conditions
aren't actually right for planting tulips.
So they had to like do all this work to the ground and stuff.
And there's actually an amazing architectural digest about Wicked
and the production designer talks about everything they did and like they,
because they built the set and there's very little CGI.
I did say something about that.
Yeah.
So a lot of it is practical effects and like when she's on the broom,
she's actually like spinning around on wires and stuff like it's, it's really unbelievable.
That is sick.
Would you like a bonus fact?
Have you got two of them?
Yep.
That's the one fact though.
Yeah.
These ones are just for fun.
Okay.
I was just about to say, I can't believe you fucking campaign so hard for three facts to
only have one.
Tricky.
Okay.
Here is a bonus fact in no particular order of preference.
Okay.
James.
Hypothetically, if you did have three, what order would they be in?
That was going to be first the whole time, because I thought you would hide it.
And that's why I said that one's just for me.
You did say that?
Yeah, I did. I did. I'm a liar. I'm a dirty liar.
Okay.
I'm really sorry. I just get so anxious about the facts. It turns me into a woman I'm not.
What?
A lying slut.
Nah. Nah, but I don't lie.
I'm glad you spoke before I did.
Okay.
This is just a bonus one.
This is because recently you said something about this.
Liam Neeson expected the movie Taken that you only just recently watched for the first
time.
It's a new film.
It's pretty good.
2008 came out.
He expected it to bomb, but he took the role because it was filming in Paris for four months.
And there was a karate school he held wanted to go to there.
So he took the movie.
That's incredible.
So that he could learn karate for four months.
Best fact I've heard all year.
That's huge.
Isn't that amazing?
So I, I'm pretty sure you might've told me this once is that the reason murder mystery with
Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler is set in Europe is cause he's like wanted to
take his kids to Europe for the summer.
Yeah.
Like what if instead of being set in Alabama, it was set in France and the
producer goes, okay, and they all get written it off anyway and they get to go.
We go to France.
Yeah.
Trish, can that happen more than we think?
Yeah.
Do you think this podcast could be set in Bali?
That has been discussed in the last 24 hours.
I believe there may be a side trip for this show next year, because, well, for
not tax purposes, my friend is having his birthday party in Gili Island next year.
Yeah.
And coincidence chat, the show's going to Bali.
Oh, what a coincidence.
Um, I do have one more fact.
This isn't the fact.
Would it have been the fact?
No, I think I would have done the Liam Neeson one as the fact.
That's good.
Because I thought that was really...
And it's also just silly.
It is silly.
And I love silly.
You only just recently watched that movie.
It's topical.
And I'm going to say like, this is...
It is good, but that was great.
No, but that is unreal in a different way.
The wicked fact.
This one I just is amazing.
Steph Best actually sent me this on Patreon.
James Cameron spent more time with the Titanic on diving excursions
as they were kind of like figuring out they were doing the movie
and because he wanted to know the ship really well.
He spent more time with the Titanic doing that than the original
passengers spent on the ship.
Yeah.
Isn't that wild?
Yeah, that's great.
Although not to poo poo the fact, but like, weren't the original people
like not on it for that long for like obvious reasons?
No, but I think that that's the crap.
Yeah.
I think it's more the mind bending of like those people spend all that money
and he's just researching for a film talking about the disaster and he got to spend more time with that ship than those passengers did.
I think he like obviously Titanic, God's movie.
Spoilers, but yeah, the RMS Titanic is what we should be saying with, with respect.
With one of the great films of our generation.
Totally.
What was I talking about?
Titanic. I got distracted by its Christian name. Oh, I talking about? Titanic.
I got distracted by its Christian name.
Oh, no, that's it.
Apparently he got like, like he's made a great movie and to make a great movie.
You have to be really into the thing.
Totally.
But I think like he got like a little bit too into the Titanic.
Like his family.
He fucked it.
Oh my God.
Oh my God. I actually want to take that back. Oh my God.
Even for me, that's too much.
Your number one fact was, did you take James Cameron's phone?
During the filming, he was caught in the back room.
In a porthole just like fucking.
Oh my god.
No, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm gonna vomit.
I'm so sorry.
I'm actually so sorry.
This is the greatest fucked fact we've ever done.
That bit.
The porthole news.
Oh yeah.
Well that is a fake fact.
That's not a real fact.
I will forget.
When I was going to say you got a little bit.
Got an outreach a little bit.
You're a bully.
You took my heart away. This close to Christmas.
Who am I?
James Cameron.
Fucking the Titanic.
I'm so sorry.
A lot of people died.
A lot of people died. Do you know what I mean?
Like that's fucked.
What I was gonna say is that he got a little bit too into that Titanic
and his family was like, can you shut the fuck up about it?
Like he'd be at Christmas and he goes, did you guys know this?
And they're like, he loves facts.
James Cameron and I are very similar.
Sorry.
Where the thing is, is like in front of me.
It's now on a jaunty angle.
I've got a question.
Question.
Did you like those facts?
The thing about the porthole I did not know.
I love to spread joy and information. The film school, the karate school in Paris,
I will say that to many people over the break.
That's a great fact.
That's a huge fact.
And anytime I see that meme, I'm going to comment on it.
Did you guys know that?
Yeah.
I think that that fact is a real pub test fact.
Yeah.
Like you would tell people that.
Here's my question.
So actually this might be like something that we talk about off the show,
but I'm just going to like, like, I mean, from what you said, it can't get fucking worse.
So every year, if you don't know and you're new to the show, you're watching on YouTube,
maybe we do a tarpathon.
So last year we stayed, we streamed live until Australia won gold at the Olympics,
which was what 23 hours or something like that.
The year before we did 51 hours.
Cause it was a minute for every Patreon subscriber.
If you want to watch them, the replays are on Patreon.
They're on Patreon.
You can access them.
Oh, fuck it.
But by the end of them, we're like pretty dank.
We had the idea that what if we did the live stream from the Titanic and what is
it, there was like three and a half days or something and we're like, yeah, we'll
dress up and there'll be a nautical theme.
And three and a half days Ryan is referring to how long the ship sailed for.
Yeah.
And we would sail on the ship and we would like, oh yeah, we're in first
class today and we'll do it.
And then tomorrow we'll do second class and blah, blah, blah.
Have a good time.
And then I was telling it to Bridget and Bridget goes, do you know how it ends?
And we went, Bridget, we've seen the movie and she went.
Yeah, but like, and we went, oh.
Like a lot of people died.
Yeah.
And she's like, so it's probably like not like, I know it's a movie, multiple
movies in pop culture, but like that was still real people.
So maybe do you not want to do that?
And I was like, I still want to.
Am I a bad person?
I guess that's what I'm asking.
I don't think so.
Let's not invite James Cameron.
He's going to fuck the ship.
So let's not invite James Cameron.
He's going to fuck the shit.
He, he fucked them in the iceberg hole.
Oh no, we'll cut that out.
We'll cut that out. Definitely.
All right.
See you tomorrow for the fuck.
I haven't done my fucking out.
Neither have I.
I was just trying to get us out of here.
I was trying to move us.
We're on facts.
I've got a great love to say it.
My love to say it is James Cameron.
See you, bye.
Aw.
Now you go, sorry.
I've got a good fact fact as well.
A fucked fact?
No, a good, I'm rattled.
I'm just picturing James Cameron in a board hole.
Before we go to the love to say it,
I just need you to give your assessment of the facts.
With all the information I now know, or just like the facts themselves?
The actual facts that were brought to the table.
Your inability to...
What?
I haven't said anything yet.
I'm giving you my summation.
My inability to what?
To back in the top three is quick.
Like is to like say I'm doing a top three and then back one in and then try and say
there was only one.
I don't know how I feel about that, but you pull it off really well and you actually believe
that you only had one.
So that was, that was good.
It was like good for you, from you.
Yeah.
All three facts were great facts.
You know, my area of movie, you know, it's like All three facts were great facts. You know my area of movie. You know it's
like a little behind the scenes stuff. It's not like it's yeah it's stuff that you don't see
yes on the screen but you like yeah it's a bit of like behind the scenes energy. Yes. So I think
they're all good and it's a thousand percent a pass. Thank you. Yeah. Your fucked fact segment
was more successful than the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic. And may they all rest in peace. Yeah. Your fucked fact segment was more successful than the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic.
And may they all rest in peace.
Yeah.
I really appreciate that review of the fucked facts.
I'm really proud of them.
They were great. They were great.
And I don't-
Even when you are,
oh, I haven't watched that many movies this year,
I might leave it to me.
Yeah.
It's almost like I was driving.
You just had to trust me.
But it was more like,
I just didn't want you to have a killer fact
and no, I hadn't seen it.
No, I was the one that wasn't making it
work.
But also my job as the fact deliverer is to give you any
backup that you needed to know.
Yeah.
Like I had the photos ready to go because you haven't seen
Wicked yet. Do you know what I mean?
I know what you mean.
I just I nailed it.
You did.
Yeah. I'm really proud of that.
I've got a love to see here from James Popper.
And this is very, very cool. James says, I have a little start the fucking blog. I love to write
stories and really enjoy having random words to write about like kind of just like, yep, give me
a topic and let me just kind of let the words flow through me. James says, I created a Facebook page
called James Popper writer. And at the moment,
I've just got a couple of family and friends join the page. So it's starting slow. But it's,
I get to do what I love and it's just writing descriptive pieces. He's like, it's not really
to earn money. It's more like a personal challenge. You've got to get it out. The creativity
flow. And because also if you're, if you start like a Facebook page or an Instagram or a blog or something, I feel like it kind of gives you, there's a bit of accountability there.
So James says, Oh, if any tapas want love raunchy, gruesome or wholesome stories, which
is pretty accurate to the pot.
I feel like that's our aurea.
Yes.
What are those three things again?
One at a time.
Raunchy.
Yes, please.
Gruesome.
I'll take it. Or wholesome.
Thank you.
Like the Titanic.
It's definitely for you.
What you described about James Cameron was all three of those.
Wholesome.
He's giving that wholesome.
It was raunchy, what was the middle one?
Gruesome.
Yeah.
I post a new story every week and I hope someday we have a lovely community,
just like all the tarpas.
I love that.
So James Popper, P-O-P-P-A, writer on Facebook.
We'll pop the link up or fucking whatever.
But yeah, super cute.
That is super cute.
Start the fucking blog.
Absolutely love it.
Rachel Fay.
Hi, Rachel.
After many years of waiting,
our family has grown.
Oh, Rachel.
Everyone meet Belle. Oh! Tony can you tell everyone listening what and who Belle is?
Oh Belle! Oh! A tiny little Fwenchie!
How tiny?
I think you can carry her down the street in one hand.
She would fit in this little Santa hat.
Belle, a tiny.
She would drown in that Santa hat.
Seven bells would fit in that Santa hat.
Jingle bells.
Don't shake the hat.
Christmas.
Jingle bells.
That's so cute. What a cute fucking dog. hat. Christmas. Oh, single bells. Jingle bells.
That's so cute. What a cute fucking dog.
That is so adorable.
A little white Frenchie.
Oh, what a beautiful. You love to see it.
This close to Christmas.
I had it. Complimentary.
Normally it's derogatory when you say that, but that's
complimentary.
I had another fact that just is
just about how good a friend's Tony and I is
and how similar we are, even though we have our differences, we have our similarities.
Yeah.
Um, and this was just like a really great moment.
What are you looking sus for?
I don't, I feel like I don't like the energy because I feel like there was, it wasn't
good because I lied about the amount of facts I had.
I feel really guilty about it and I feel like the energy is off because I was really proud
of my facts and then you said nice stuff about them but I just, I started to feel a bit...
Is it maybe not the day for this one?
No, I love it.
Tell me.
So I've been getting lots and lots of ads for Shakti Mats.
Oh, yes.
Sponsored ads.
I think it's Shakti.
Take it on or don't.
That's fine.
I'm just saying.
I think it's Shakti.
Shakti.
And it's my fault that I'm getting the ads because the guy who's like talking in the ad,
he seems like the most lovely guy and he's really well spoken and he's like,
not too salesy, but he's very informative and it's kind of interesting.
So of course the older group of them goes, well, anytime he sees this ad,
he watches the whole two minute ad. He's clearly into it.
And I go, I just want to try it once. I don't think I want one.
I just want to try it once. I don't think I want one. I just want to try it once.
Cause I'm watching this out.
I'm hearing him talk about, I'm just like so curious about what a shakty mat is.
Yeah.
And then I go, oh, I don't want to buy one.
Cause then I'll be one of those people that bought a fucking shakty mat.
You know?
Yeah.
I'd hate that.
I also wanted to just try it once.
So I bought one, obviously.
But I don't have to buy one because my best friend Tony already has.
How many times have you used it?
Probably...
When did you buy it?
Oh, years ago.
Like, you know what it was?
It was a COVID purchase.
I bought it in 2020.
100%.
I reckon because times used is probably not very effective because you only use it for like,
when you're getting into it, you can only use it for like 30 seconds at a time.
Because it hurts.
Because you've got to kind of get used to it. So I reckon in total,
I've probably used it for about six minutes. That gives you any insight.
Yep.
I really like it though. Like it's something I'd like to get into a habit of using.
Can you get into a habit of using after I've tried it?
Yeah, cause you can have it for six minutes.
I don't even want to find out if I want it to be ongoing.
I'm just like, what does that feel like?
Yeah. I did buy-
Or might I try it once and go, oh.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, mine's not getting used, so you can hang on to it.
Nah, it's all good. But I think it's really good,
but my one is like a really cheap,
like so actual proper ones are really sharp.
Whereas mine's just like jagged plastic.
I think that's what this one is.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, it's not full bed of nails.
I wanna set your expectation of like it not being
like a legit one, but it is good.
I'll bring it in for you.
Great.
All right.
Um, shout out to everyone for watching today.
Shout out to James Cameron and his legal team and we will see you tomorrow for the final
episode of the year.
Oh, thank fucking God.
We will be exchanging secret Santa gifts.
What?
Huh?
Yay.
Love you.
Wonder who Tony got.
Oh, looks like a dog wagging his tail.
It's Belle!
It's the little French bulldog!
Love you, bye!
