Hi, I'm Charlotte from Guernsey and I approve this podcast. Tony Lodge, raise your hands. You listening, watching, raise your hand.

Now put a finger down. Put a finger down if you get a lady boner for Rich Gri- Baa! Put a finger down if you get a lady boner for Rich Gri- Why can't I say that word? I don't know what word you're trying to say. Am I putting a finger down or not? Rich gripes?

You know, when you hear it, it's not that, yeah. Okay. We're leaving all this in by the way. Fuck. Put a finger down if you get a lady boner for rich guys who dress ironically shit and with the release of Happy Gilmore 2 went down an Adam Sandler rabbit hole and might now have a huge crush on him He can get it yeah, yeah He could so obviously because happy Gilmore to has just come out and I watched

Breaking news happy you're more one because I'm like trying to get in the spirit He's like so excited and I'm just like fuck like I've never looked at him, even in the original one, when he's young. Have you seen him when he's young, young though? Like 20 doing stand-up and stuff. Yeah. And like, wow, what a hottie. And then I watched, so I actually watched this video, right, of him getting to the

Happy Gilmore Two premiere in LA. He drove himself. So he pulls up in his own car, throws the keys at someone and walks down the red carpet. And I was like, ah, maybe I was just turned down by the fact you didn't have to worry about where to park. Maybe it was the valet that got me going more than anything else. If Tony was Adam Sandler, this is the negotiation with Netflix.

Hi, Adam, we'd like you to make eight movies over the next eight years and give you $300 million. And you go, is there a guy to park the car? What's the parking situation at the premiere? Yeah. But yeah, so he gets out of his own car and he's wearing like a classic Adam Sandler outfit, like colorful oversized shirt, like basketball shorts and stuff.

And he's got his hot as fuck wife there. It was just like so iconic. Because the guy who directed Happy Gilmore 2 is Carl Neucek, who created Workaholics with the guys. Really? So like, it's my area. It's really your area. Yeah. Look out. Talk about a hole in one. Yeah. So like it's my area. It's really your area. Yeah. Yeah. Look out. Talk about a whole in one. Nice. Yeah. Good one. Now Ang who listens to this podcast is a Taffer. G'day Ang. He's a

barista. And you know how it's like, oh, the customer's always right. But how hot's a barista? Sorry. I must be fucking on heat or something. How hot's a barista? Sorry, I must be fucking on heat or something. How hot's a barista? Like when you go and get your coffee and they just, they always look cool. They're always just like locked into their thing, but they just like got the vibe about them. How much of it is that they're cool

and probably have cool shit to? That does, yeah. And how much of it is that they're just providing you with the coffee? And how much of it is that they're just providing you with the coffee? Because you know, if a shit beep that gave me a coffee, I'd be like, You still give me a coffee? And you've like, the exchange is complete. Yeah. Yeah, totally. And I'll be like, yeah, I'll cop that from you because how good's a coffee?

Have you seen that TikTok creator and she's got like curly hair and she does the skits of like the bartender that's sick of your shit. No, but I love it already. And she does like a barista one as well and she's like, hey, what can we brew you for today? And it's just like you want to hate her, but she's just like, oh, that's a dark roast, my man. You're going to love it. I'm going to find this person. I do want to hate it, but I don't. You'll know her as soon as you see her. But yeah, like, and so whenever I see that, I'm like, oh my God, I would let that girl or guy or they get me pregnant. Like the vibe is just perfection. Like, I just love it. Anyway, back to Ang. So he's a hot barista. Love it. And I've just said him, I don't know.

Also their last name in Facebook is Man, so it's Ang Man. I love that game. Now, the customer's always right, actually wrong. Customers are fucking idiots and I won't cop their bullshit. As a customer. It's actually very often that I'm wrong, so I'll cop that. So they've shared this story in the Facebook group and said, has anyone else have a story

where customers are fuckheads? Love it. I work as a barista and I called out iced matcha latte and popped it on the bench. It's in a see-through plastic cup and is bright green. Yes. This lady picks it up, goes goes thank you, walks off, has a sip, has another sip and then comes back and says you've made a mistake. I ordered a cappuccino. And it's not like. I said mocha. Matcha. It's Macha. It's bright green.

It's cold. It's also not like it was like coffee for Mel. No. And a different Mel goes, fuck, sorry, I thought that was mine. Yeah. Did you, is your name Ice Macha Laptop? We actually don't know that it's not.

And you go, oh, that's me. That happens all the time. So, classic mix up, this happens all the time. So classic mix up. This happens all the time. OK, here's our challenge for this week. No. No. Let's go to a cafe and order something.

And when they say, is there a name for the order, our name is a different order of coffee. It's actually really funny. Can I get the flat white? Sure. What's your name? Mocka? Yeah.

I can't get the flat white. What's your name? Iced matchaolal today. Um, what's your name? Piccolo. What's your name? Oh, I'm Ham and Cheese Croissant. I love Ham and Cheese Croissant. And who are you? I'm Extra Hot. Can I get a flat white? What's your name? Oat milk. And what milk did you want? Almond milk. This is a great game. Let's all play today.

Do you think that Penn, our barista, who is a hottie, and the sweetest person on earth, do you reckon Penn would like that? No, he never asked for our name anymore because he knows us. He knows. We go, would you just play along? We think it'd be really funny. You know how he said not one minute ago, how customers are actually the fuckheads. Yeah. Exhibit A, this game. When I walk in there, he says, Tony, I'm not taking your order.

Yeah, he goes, you can't be trusted. Charles, what's she having? I don't want to talk to a woman. He goes, he gets someone from the back and makes them talk to me. It's one of my favourite times of the week. He goes, you always order like four coffees. I just can't handle it. I'm like, oh, okay, sorry.

And you talk too much. Yeah, I love to chat. Anyway. Have you seen them start making TikToks? I've followed them on Instagram and Pans like in all these TikToks at the moment. Iconic. That's huge.

Is he the one that was like, get a brew, bro? No, he's not. Cause I would have said, have you seen that Pan is making skits now? And can I just say these have all been sent in by Taffas because some of them are just like, surely no one's that fucked. It looks like I'm writing jokes. I mean, already the first one, Ang's example is not great, so it gets worse than that. Okay.

Foreshadowing. Nicola. Hi Nicola. A lady returned shoes she'd bought because the two shoes in the box was different sizes. Off? Oh, like, oh, the seven got mixed up with the eight

or whatever, yeah. She goes, yeah, one's a regular and the other one's a large. See how it says L and that one says R? I told her it stood for Left and right. Isn't it cool how your L makes an L? Can you explain that for people listening to the? So, well, I think it'll even be wrong on the video

because I think it gets. Yeah. Yeah. Like when you make an L with your left hand, with your like. Your thumb and your pointer. Finger and the thumb. When you look at it, it makes an L. So if you get mixed up with your left and right,

if you do the L with both, then it's the one that looks like an L. So my mate, Holly Matheson, who I believe listens to the podcast. Is Holly Matheson the one that lives in WA and broke up with that guy? Yes. Yes.

Yeah, she lives on the Ningaloo. I am so good. She lives in the Ningaloo reef. Yeah, bless her. Hope the break up's going well. The day after my last exam, I had to get to the airport for a volleyball game and she'd just gotten her license.

Cool. And she's like, I just want an excuse to jump in the car. Absolutely. Oh, you'd drive to fucking Adelaide if you had to. This guy who was in my team kind of lives near me, Lofty. He was like in the Olympics and shit. He was like one of my heroes, heaps older.

And he goes, oh, if you're on the airport, can you pick me up? And I was like, yeah, no worries. My mate, Holly's like bringing me, but I'm like, this is like, how cool we're taking Lofty. This is a big deal. And so, and also my friends driving like, yeah, it feels so good. So this is Holly's first time driving and we're off to the airport. The worst place to drive to. And then, um... I reckon as a ranking, the worst places to drive to for the first day you got your license, the airport. Yep. And then the CBD.

Yeah, absolutely. Like, the two worst things you could do. And then Lofty goes, Oh, just take a left here, Holly. And then she's holding the wheel with both hands. Like for dear life. Yeah, but then takes both hands off the wheel and does the two

pointers and the thumbs and goes oh yep that one's left. Great. And then turns left and I was like and like Lofty kind of looks at me and I was like I don't know it works like left or um and then. Both hands off the steering wheel is pretty funny. And then um. And he goes did you want me to drive the rest of the way? But then we got a bit further and, uh, and Lofi goes, yeah, just right here. And then she just like goes right. And then he goes, oh, you didn't do the L things. And she goes, oh, well, I know right.

Well, don't be stupid. Yeah, like... I don't not know both. Yeah, I know right. I'm just, it's the left, the one, is the one that gets me. And then he looked back to me in the back seat And go you sure about this? Oh, no, no, we're all good, man And then we got there and he goes I'll get a taxi home

Well, I used to think of it as the one that's not right because I write with my right hand So like and because you know how like the hand that you write with all that your predominant head feels heavier No, no, like you know how like the hand that you write with or like your predominant hand feels heavier? No. No. Like you know how like- Because it's full of skill. No, like- Cause it's now stronger because you've jerked off

with it 10 million times. How many times Jacking you've jerked off in your life? What a great question. Probably zero. So- Like it's just got- I don just, it's just got, it's just got like a feeling. I would love to hear that if people are watching this,

do you agree that your predominant hand just has a feeling? It totally does. You're going to get served wrong, right? I'm right. Fuck. Right. Left. Right.

So it was like the one that's not that one is left. Easy. So Nicola Nolan who works at the shoe store. Hi Nicola. Oh, the left and the right. What did the lady say? So she goes, it's left and right. Like, oh, and cause you have to kind of go,

I'm not being a dick. Yeah, but it's left. And the lady goes, hmm, are you sure? And then Nicola goes, have you ever ordered shoes and ordered a large or a medium? Shoes don't really come in that kind of type of sizes or a regular. Maybe wide?

Like I think, you know, that's like a- Maybe, maybe at a stretch. But it would still be like a 10 wide. Totally, yeah. It's not a large and to stretch. Yeah. But it would still be like a 10 wide. Totally, yeah. It's not a large and a regular. Yeah. Yeah. Um.

This lady comes and sees us at the vet. And her dog's got a- Who's a vet? And the dog has a tick and the owner can't pull it out. Oh, that freaks me out. The lady goes, the dog gets a bit defensive when we pull out at it, so it must be sore or something. We asked her to show us and she's pulling the dog's nipple.

The dog didn't have any ticks and no wonder the dog hated it. That's from Kit. Thank you Kit. So now like, no, I'm pretty sure it's. He's yanking at it's fucking nipple. And she's like, I'm pretty sure it's a tick. And I'm pretty sure it's not actually. So thank you though. Tick tock. Now Olivia. Hi Olivia. Olivia works at Texas Steakhouse. Whoa. And she says, you'd be shocked how many people try to pay with a voucher to Logan's steakhouse, Outback steakhouse,

Longhouse, Longhorn steakhouse. Cause just a steakhouse. Oh, just, you know. I've got a voucher for there, I think. Yeah. And she goes, oh, we'll just swipe it through. It's not for here. Yeah.

What? Yeah. That is so wild to me. And Olivia's like every week there's someone who's just like, oh good. But like, is it all good? Like I know it's different, but like, oh, is it all good? That is, if I had a voucher for somewhere, I would like, you would just make so sure before you went there. Oh, they know it's not the right, but they were just like, oh, you know. What? That all good, all good Oh they know it's not the right but they were just like oh you know. What? Oh good oh good Bart. Oh DCI. Like it's like the world owes me a steak and you've got a steak. Is it redeemable here? Yeah and similarly Kim Holland. Hi Kim. I worked at Clark Shoes

and had a woman try to return a pair of Nike's the only issue was that Clark's has never sold stocked or had anything to do with Nike yeah and says in the name doesn't and she pulls a receipt out from JD Sports now her was this and I quote well you know shoes and Kim's like nah and it's as if like we all work for like a big shoe yeah it all goes back to the one sort of spot. Yeah, you give some shoes you take some shoes we're all in the shoe but like I cannot even I mean first of all sometimes if you bought something online they don't even let you return it in store yeah sometimes you can't even return to the same store yeah let alone a different one that's far people need to lift the customers a fuckhead yeah I

agree and I speak for all customers when I say sorry hey I'm Dana. I'm Charlotte from Guernsey. This is Sarah from Grand Junction, Colorado. And you're listening to Tony and I. And you're listening to Tony and I. A massive shout out to a few of our champion tarples on this beautiful Monday.

Allison Gillen, good on you Allison. Sean Thompson, Maya, Kirit says, Maya, return some stuff to Maya. It's M-A-Y-A, but just a bit of fun. Is she the one who was in Lady Marmalade? Yeah, Maya was in that. Yeah, and Lil Kim and Christina Aguilera and Pink. What a super group. Really. Corey says, thank you. Callie Ann Starkey. Oh, I'm Starkey, naked.

DJ Taylo, wooka wooka, are way good on your way. Miss Jane and Pete Sharkey. Bit of fun. Little bit of fun. Now, I believe... a little bit of fun. Now I believe. Oh, sorry. Actually, they are all a few champion tapas

from our Patreon. All the information is across the bottom. But if you're watching us on YouTube, all the names that are scrolling across the bottom are all tiers on Patreon. We just had a live stream on Friday for our champion tapas. I replied to all the DMs.

So if you're interested, you can go check it out at any time. Today's a huge day. Well, tomorrow is, I'll just quickly, tomorrow, not as big as today. Not as big as today, but it's okay. Tomorrow, big announcement. If you've got a calendar and know what time of year it is,

you can probably guess. No surprises, but a big surprise tomorrow. It's fun. It's fun. It's fun. But I feel like for a few weeks we've been building up to Hot Take Tony because Tony is in a shock jock era. I am. But you didn't want to shock unless we had everything right. Yes. So we were discussing set design. Yep. Pyrro techniques. Opportunities for outfits. Yeah, do you, what, can you, yeah, where are you feeling? So it has been a bit of a process, sorry, Charles has just put on his hot-take Tony hat.

I'm ready. Oh, the ears are up. Charles wore one of those hats with the buttons in there, like, it's got like a beanie with like long bits on the side and in that it's got little buttons and the ears flick up. I thought that was a frog because of the colour but it's not is it? I think it's a dragon. Yeah it is a dragon. Because it's got the sharp scaly teeth. I thought it really like fit in with like hot take-tokers. Yeah I think it does too because a dragon could breathe fire. But I'm not here to take away from what you've done. It feels like you are a little bit. Yeah and I appreciate that., so we talked about what we could do for costumes.

And actually, Champion Tappers inside of the Patreon helped me design the outfit. We had a bit of an ideating session. And then they watched a wonderful BTS video of Charles and I at Spotlight buying some supplies. I think I said last week that Charles claimed to be a helper, but. Well, he bought that hat. And it's helping. So he helped me spend money at Spotlight.

I have been told to not look under the desk and there's stuff peeking out so what are we... Well so I ended up making an outfit and I think I'm quite proud of it. Like should I put it on and then... Yeah, do you want me to close my eyes real quick? Yeah, do you want to close your eyes? But you keep talking to people. Okay, my eyes are closed. But what I will say is,

considering we've been thinking about this segment for a very long time, Tony's been prepping this outfit for a very long time, all I'm saying is, is that I hope the first hot take is red hot. I hope it's good. I hope it's accurate. Cause it'd be a shame to have all this build up and for it to be soft.

And I can hear cellophane. Am I allowed to open my eyes yet? Okay. You can open your eyes. Oh wow. Wow. So we've got a red cape, yeah, with flames as a collar, and they stick up. Aren't you proud of that? I am proud of that. That was a bit of a feat of engineering, I'll be honest. Yeah, that's incredible. How are they, they're defying gravity. It's wicked. Okay, it's wicked.

And you've got a... So this is like a big match stick. Oh, is that what this, yeah. So it's got a paper mache like match head. Is that what was hanging up in the laundry? Yes, yes. And then cellophane flames. And then you know how like when you burn a match, like the black, like the char comes down because

it's yeah okay because I originally Charles no I know Charles goes oh you didn't think to fight the whole thing I was gonna no it's a match that you get the vision I do now but it kind of looks like because you sort of look like the devil and you know how the devil has its fork yeah and I'm like you forgot to finish painting the rest of the fork. Yeah, but this is not forky, but this is like, I think that's quite good. Now that you've explained it, it's actually makes perfect sense.

Thank you. I'm really proud of that. I think it's like a bit rough and ready, but in like quite a like charming way that like, yeah, I fucking made it myself. You know. I am gonna need to buy a new sewing machine. Mine's fucked now.

Because of which part fucked it? This like velvet. Cause if you feel the cape. Oh my. Yeah, and so when you're cutting it and trying to sew it, all of the fibers have like just split down and gone into the thing. So my fucking sewing machine's almost set on fire. That's okay

That's okay So I think I'm pretty proud of this now Went against doing a crown because I thought the flames spoke for themselves. They really do. Yeah, they really do now This is the best bit. Hey, the color is amazing. Now. Do you have like a You do your hot take and then you go, and I'm hot take Tony and that was my take and then light the match? Oh!

Or is there like a sign off or an intro or a... Oh I haven't thought about a sign off. Or like how does the mat like is there a... Well I just thought that this is hot. Wink. Okay. I can, I can. No, I just wanted to know if you'd pondered.

I haven't, but I could go, with the match. Okay. If you like. Yep. Now, do you feel after the buildup that your first hot take is worthy? No, I'm really nervous. No, I'm backing it in.

I think it's really good. I've been thinking about this for a really long time. Yeah. Do you need me to intro anything? Do you want to do it? Do I like, and now we crossed, you know how in Family Guy, where they like, yeah, and now here's Peter Griffin with, what really grinds my gears?

Hey, let me tell you what grinds my gears. I can't do the Boston accent. New England, sorry, not Boston. Do you want me to just give you a, and now it's time and like. Yeah, now it's time for Hot Take Tony. Yeah. Are you ready? Yeah. Are you ready listening, Charles?

I'm ready. Are those Dragonies ready to be popped? They're ready. They will only pop if he agrees. Oh, OK. Or if he thinks it's a hot take. You don't have to necessarily agree. You just have to agree that it's hot take. Yeah. Let's get some suspense. It really goes with this top, doesn't it? It does. Let's put some suspenseful music in.

Okay, so you don't have to do that if someone's done that. Oh, who's the pro at knowing what's in post? In a YouTube video, I asked Tony to sing and we'll do it in autotune and she just sung it in autotune. Yeah, and that was fun. Yeah. And I went, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and that was fun. Yeah. And I went, yeah, yeah, yeah. And now we crossed a hot take, Tony. I reckon Julie Andrews would be a really good kisser. And that's Hot Take Tony!

Yeah! Wow! Let's get a picture of Julie Andrews on the screen. Yeah I need a Julie Andrews. She's from Princess DiHurries and Mary Poppins. The Sound of Music? Yes, Maria Von Trapp. I've never seen it, but I heard it's wonderful.

I reckon she'd be a really good kisser. Why is that hot take, Tony? I don't have to back in why. Okay, great. I just reckon she would be a really good kisser. I did have to Google whether she died. I was about, I did- Because I did think, oh my God, what if I say that in people?

Charles, no, that's a picture of her as Mary Poppins. We need something more recent than that. Was she also Mary Poppins? Yes. And if you wouldn't get a gobb job from Mary Poppins, you fucking liar. Mary Jobbins, they called her. Sorry.

Charles, that's a shocking photo there. You asked for a recent photo! Okay, go Julie Andrews... Mary Poppins in her mouth. Go Mary Poppins Princess Diaries. No, Julie Andrews Princess Diaries. She does look good, doesn't she? She's like 300 years old.

She was Cinderella in 1957. Like she's like 300 years old she was cinderella in 1957 like she's fucking okay hang on we're getting another photo up she also starred alongside the rock in the tooth fairy yes very diverse oh yeah she's done it all and that's why i reckon she could do it all if you know what i'm saying hang on i reckon she would i reckon she'd be a really good kisser. Yeah, that's her in Princess Diaries.

She was the queen of Genovia. I once told a weekday jock in a radio session that I worked for, he said, do you know who that princess is that just got married? I think it was when like Eugenie just got married, this is like years ago. And he goes, do you know what she's the princess of? And I said of Genovia, because like from Princess Darius, thinking he would know obviously not. And he went on the air and said,

Princess Eugenie of Genovia. Who was the person? It was Mason. And then the next day. She's from Genovia. Then the next day he goes, you fucked me with that, didn't you? And I was like, I thought there was no way

you wouldn't know. Wouldn't you just Google it? Yeah, anyway. Yeah, you would, you would. You would. Do you like that? Do you agree or you just think it's a good hot take? I don't disagree.

Thanks. Do you wanna hold my matchstick? No, I'm not worthy. It does wield a lot of power. I feel very strong. Now, do you wanna de-robe as we push on to your love to see it? Yeah, sure. Okay. I think we have to figure out what's a better time for me to put this on. Like should I have it on, like obviously today was the big reveal, but should I put this on, you know, and then do the champion tarpa?

No, no, no, I feel like you need to... Or is it part of it that- You need a robe up. Yeah, okay. Yep. Or maybe you'll get, so when I do the, and now it's time for you, shh, shh, shh, shh. Oh, she's- Is that too much? Did anyone get to see that?

She's taken off her robe and just really, well normally when I take off a robe, I'm giving this look. Oh, Jesus. I have actually started wearing a robe at home. I'm not really a dressing gown person. It's just never really been for me, but I bought this linen robe because it's so fucking cold at the moment.

And I was like, but the fluffiness is too overwhelming of a dressing gown. I bought this robe and oh was like, but the fluffiness is like too overwhelming of like a dressing gown. What about this robe? And oh my God, I feel like a rich old widow. I love it. Do you feel like the 101 Dalmatians lady? Oh my God, Cruella De Vil. That's probably more this red robe energy

because that was the fair. She killed all those dogs. Tried to. Horrible stuff. Glenn Close, the live action of 101 Dalmatians and then 102 Dalmatians, the fucking sequel. Very good. Glenn Close, absolutely amazing.

One of my favorite movies that we watched was the one with who's that girl girl who's an actress that I fucking love and she's in Easy A... Emma Stone. What's the movie she's in? Cruella. One of my favorite movies. Yeah. So much fun.

It was unexpected but I did enjoy it. My love to see it is Christmas in July. Oh, cute! Yes. Now, there may have been a, as I think we may have heard, a last minute change of chef, a few times changing of dates and times. There was chat about it happening at Bingo Loco. There was. Unfortunately, Bingo Loco didn't get the call up. None of us ended up making it to Bingo Loco, despite my DMs being predominantly Bingo Loco based

over the last few weeks. Tony was also not called up to cook or drive a bus. Yeah, I wasn't invited either. I did provide some chairs and some beds. Thank you for that. That's okay. I said, well, what if we just pop two more chairs in the car and I come?

And Ryan said, no. We were already at capacity. Yeah. And you were. We were actually way past capacity. But here's my specific you love to see. Yes. Is glazed motherfucking ham.

Oh, put it in my tits. Why are we saving glazed ham until exclusively Thanksgiving or Christmas? Glazed ham, ham should be glazed all fucking year round. Chapter. Subscribed. Heard. Because it is an absolute waste of life that once a year you get to eat glazed ham all year round. And you know what? I'll take that one step further. All ham should come off the bone in your fridge.

You should have a leg of ham on the go at all times. Legally. The ham, a leg of ham should be like a bottle of milk. As soon as it's almost empty. You grab another one. Hey, on the way home, you can pick up a ham, could you? Could you grab some bread and milk and ham? Someone's having a big night. Hilarious. Oh, and doesn't that sound like the best day on earth? Yes.

Yes. Last night I wasn't really hungry for dinner. So I was like, oh, I might just have a bit of toast or whatever. I would have put the ham on the toast if I had some. With a little mustard or pickles. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And cause like the ladies at the CWA,

they make like a mean pickle. Oh, of course they do. So I've fucking got pickles coming out my fucking pussy hole at home. Yeah. Okay. Sweet. And yeah. fuck yeah. But good times had by all. And you had a good time.

We had a good time. When I spoke to your wife on the phone the other day and I said, oh, like how was it? Did you have a great time? And the only feedback she has was I think next time we need a bigger venue. That was the only feedback. Yeah. Nah, it was good. That's amazing.

Very good. But get around the only feedback. Yeah, yeah, no, it was good. That's amazing. Very good, but get around the fucking air. Yeah. Oh, heard. I've got to love to see here, last week we shared that I went to my first CWI meeting actually, shoulder.

And since then, this has really not surprised me, but really warmed the cockles of my cold dead heart. I've been overwhelmed with people sharing stories of their large age gap friendships and why they're important to people. I've had people, someone messaged on Patreon and said that they started volunteering and then became friends with this woman.

And she was 90 and the TAP was, you know, our age, 30 odd. And they just asked 30 year olds. And they used to, and they used to like go on walks together every day and like just like them. And she said, I used to just talk to her more than anyone else. But Elizabeth shared this into our Facebook group and said, I've been a Tapa for quite some time, but I don't really post a lot because I'm a little bit nervous.

But I want to just say that my best friend is over 20 years older than me. And we've been best friends for over 10 years. Wow. She was a relative of a friend. Yeah. And just clicked on me first met. So obviously she's gone to her girlfriend's bridal shower

and met her auntie Kathy. Yeah. And gone, well Aunty Cathy and I go along pretty well, didn't they? We both have the same temperament and consideration for one another. It's one of the strongest friendships I've ever had and I'm so thankful. We support each other in everything, also keep each other in check and I genuinely believe our age gap keeps things in perspective as we can see situations from both sides. Interesting.

Isn't that really cool? Well, it's like the... There's enough separation in age to kind of go, oh... Well, you said like there's no comparison because you're not like, oh, she's had a baby before me and I need to hurry up or they've got a better job or they get paid more or... But also, you know how you're like, oh fuck, if I was 20 again, I wish I had a thought of it like this. Yeah. How great to have someone in the moment to suggest that

or you know when the older generations haven't quite clicked with the new thing and you go, oh well. I can help you with that. Yeah. Or tell you why it's important. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I love it.

So, and I love that the heaps of people have that in their life. Well, I have been so blown away that that many people have related to that. Me and my elder friend here. But here's a picture of Elizabeth and her best friend. Oh, isn't that beautiful? Good on them. Yeah.

Good on them. And I really loved it. I just, I couldn't believe how many people had such a wonderful experience. That is beautiful. Yeah. That is beautiful. Yeah. That is beautiful. Tomorrow on the show. A fun surprise.

Oh, I actually haven't told you specifically about this yet. The surprise. Oh, there's a surprise. You know that surprise. I was like, ah. She tries, she tries. I'm not even sure I know about this surprise.

There's also, ah. What did you just do? Did you just get your ring stuck in the microphone? No, I hit my knuckle on that little thing, but because my hands, because it's held cold. Yeah, and it's because that hand's heavier because it's your predominant one. No, that's my right hand. Oh, sorry. No, what do I not know about?

I've created a new game. Okay. Okay. Should I save it or should I save the name for tomorrow? I don't know. Maybe say, okay, you can say the name. The new game is called, it's like a game show. It's called Who's the Toughest TARP-er. Amazing. And TARP-ers are going head to head in a battle about who's more TAP.

Okay. Love it. Think Ninja Warrior. Think Tough Mudder. Always. Remember that? Was that still around? The obstacle course?

Yeah, just the name. The obstacle course. Not a lot to do with it. Okay. I was like, we're piling TAPAs in. Nah, they just both have TAP in the title. Okay. But TAPAs are going to fight tomorrow.

Okay. In a battle called are going to fight tomorrow. Okay. In a battle called Who's the Toughest Tarpas? Great. And in tomorrow's edition, Renee LaDoux will be taking on Kate Stevenson. Kate LaDount. Melissa will be taking on Rachel McLean and Amy will be taking on Emily. A lot of girl on girl there. You got something to say, mate.

Yeah. Very revealing. Yeah, it turns out this game has a lot in common with Tony's porn preferences. Sounds like it. A lot of girl on girl. Sounds like it. I can't even argue with you. I love it.

Oh, sorry, I gotta go. What does this new game show have to do with Tony's porn preferences? Wow. That's the game. Love you, bye! Bye.
