Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. We're starting this episode with a rap. I don't think it will be crap. I think it will be pretty fair. Cause we are going to call Claire. Claire. Now, Tony has just randomly done this, but she's going to regret it. And she's going to find out why in about 15 seconds.
Starting point is 00:00:20 If Claire's dead, I fucking swear to God. No, in fact, it couldn't be more opposite. Oh, she's just being, I fucking swear to God. No, in fact, it couldn't be more opposite. Oh, she's just being born. Ah, ah, she's a baby. Oh my goodness, you're just telling him right. It is, Claire, how you doing? I'm good, how are you going? We're great.
Starting point is 00:00:37 Now you wouldn't have just heard it, but you will when you listen to your episode back. Tony just did this huge song and rap randomly with no other information. Yeah, all I know is that your name is Claire. Yeah. And in devastating news for Tony, what Claire, what do you do for a living? Um, I write songs.
Starting point is 00:00:56 I genuinely do. Yeah. Cause Tony's just made up this great song. I go, what a shame. Yeah. Wow. Oh, that's so embarrassing. Now aware song. What a shame. Yeah. Wow. Oh, fuck that song. Mara's team. Now, where have your songs ended up, Claire? I mean, I saw, I wrote mostly songs that end up
Starting point is 00:01:11 in like film and TV and advertising and stuff. So yeah, random places. What's a, any examples for us? Um, well, I mean, it's a little bit controversial because it's not really supporting my home country, but, um, I wrote the theme song for the English rugby team for the last world cup. You gotta do what you have to do to make money. Oh, well we're thinking about taking money from a shmally and Schmo. So I mean, we, who we to say it's actually fine. So anything else you'd like to sing today, Tony?
Starting point is 00:01:45 I don't think so, but do you want to improve today's episode, Claire? Absolutely, yes, I do. Yay! Yes, yes, yes. Hey, it's Claire from Australia, but I'm currently making music in Nashville, Tennessee, and I approve this podcast. Brand new week. And I just want to warn everyone, Tony and I have been listening to dubstep this morning. Yeah, we have, we've gone back in time.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Wow. What a journey we've been on in the last 15 minutes in the office. Not only does it bring back memories, it brings back like smells. Like, you know, when you kind of like remember where you were when you heard something for the first time, like, fuck, I, I smelled other people's sweat listening to you. True or false. I just played promises by narrow and you went, oh, I feel like kissing a boy in a club. Yeah. And didn't we all?
Starting point is 00:02:44 Yeah. Didn didn't we all? Yeah. You know, like that was, that was such the move back then. Oh. I keep clubbing these days. No, I don't think, which is real sad. Oh. They're too like fancy. They're going to dinners and getting cocktails and stuff. Kids are a lot cooler than we were.
Starting point is 00:02:57 You need to be drinking someone else's wine off the floor and listening to dubstep. Going to a foam party. Yeah. Back in your day. Yeah. I just can't imagine not going through that. What is it like baptism of fire of going to a dirty club, sticky floor, listening to shit like that. Black t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Stuttered belt. Walking in looking fine and then leaving like fucking your faces on the ground. Like a disgusting piece of shit. Welcome to the show, everyone. I hope your weekend resembled that. And if it didn't, then shame. Think about your life. Yeah. And it piece of shit. Welcome to the show. I've run. I hope your weekend resembled that. And if it didn't then shame about your life. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:27 And it didn't for us to be fair. And after you've listened to this episode, if you need a bit of a pump up, I'd go on, listen to some dubstep because it's pumped us right up. Jason status. A few weeks ago, Tony was gifted a very hard to look after plant as a inverted commas present. Gift. Yeah. What'd you do to it?
Starting point is 00:03:48 Killed it. Uh, I knew that it would happen. Murder. But you said, I feel like this gift was more of a burden than a gift. True or false. Yeah, I think so because you go, Oh, well, a gift is supposed to be something I can enjoy, whereas you've given me a responsibility. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:02 So people in the Tony and Ryan Facebook group have said, here's something I received as a gift. You decide if it's more of a burden. Also is that weird? We're judging. I think we can do that. Okay. I think we can do that.
Starting point is 00:04:13 I think that though, this has, it does the impact of whether it's a burden is like your expertise. Yep. Yep. And I'll factor that in. Yeah. Cause someone said to me and Orchid's not that hard to look after Tony. You just have to move it from one windows sill to the other and make sure it's not
Starting point is 00:04:27 too dry and not too wet. Like, I don't know what's hard about that. What am I a botanist? And I was like, can you just fucking reread your comment and then reread the part where you said it's not that hard? Yeah. And then reread the part where I had to do something. Yeah. Like no. Yeah. If I'm doing something, it's hard work. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Kyle Davies. Yeah, if I'm doing something, it's hard work. Yes. Kyle Davies. Hi, Kyle. I was gifted a murder mystery weekend experience. Oh, a weekend? It was a five hour bus ride to some random place and the actors walked amongst you and talked to you in character the whole time
Starting point is 00:05:01 as we're trying to figure out who killed some guy. in character the whole time as we're trying to figure out who killed some guy. It was so weird and awkward and went for a whole weekend. That's too much. I feel excuse me. Do you know where the bathroom is? And they go, Oh, I hope Colonel mustard isn't there. And you go, Oh, no, no, no. I feel like you can't expect, sorry, that's so funny.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Sorry. Do you know what's for dinner? Oh, it'll be some kind of carved meat. I hope it's not that suckling pig, you know, some fucking random character. Yeah. Or they're trying to give you a clue whilst answering the question.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Yeah, and you go, I just need to know what we're having because I'm like actually gluten free. Yeah, and They go, Oh, the chef doesn't have gluten because his minions don't require it. There isn't any gluten because it's the 1700s. All fucking some wank about old shit. So after I read Kyle's comment, I actually, cause when I saw Murder Mystery, my eyes did prick up momentarily. And for those of you in Patreon will know that I'm fucking awesome at Cluedo. You are very good at Cluedo. So I kind of went, that feels awful.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Then I went, would I want that? I'd hate going to it or doing it, but then I went- But you liked it when you were there. No, it was more like the concept of solving a crime is kind of fun. Sure. In Melbourne, you know, the puffing Billy's more like the concept of solving a crime is kind of fun. Sure. In Melbourne, you know, the puffing Billy that's in the Dandy Nones? Yeah, we were just talking about puffing Billy on the show the other day. So apparently, like once a month or randomly, maybe it's for like a month,
Starting point is 00:06:35 a year, like some sporadic time. It's like there's a dinner on the train and someone on the train is murdered. And as you're having your meal, you have to figure out who did the crime. Do you want to go do that? That actually sounds pretty fun. Now what I'm about to say, we have to redact later cause I don't want to spoil it for everyone. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Okay. But I'll only do it if I'm the murderer. Oh, but I don't think that you get to pick that. Well, someone killed him. You can't actually kill someone. You understand that that's not part of it. It looks like Tony's playing the role of local detective. Watch this face.
Starting point is 00:07:12 I reckon I hate it, but I also don't hate it. Yeah. Except I don't think it's something you can gift someone. I think it's something that you can float and plan. They need to have asked for it. But yeah, I think you can float and plan and go, you know what? I thought that you would like that. So maybe I could get you that for your birthday. That's okay. Would you like it? And they go, great. Yeah. Or you go, oh, it's a week in a way. That's just one part of it. The next day we'll go out and have a beautiful breakfast
Starting point is 00:07:38 or, you know, whatever. New category for people to comment. What is the biggest assumption a gift giver made? Similar to when exhibits sell someone's car and go, Oh, you've listened to a song once, but we've put a full orchestra in your back of your car. Oh, I once gave someone two tickets to something thinking, Oh, I really want to go as well. And then they took someone else. Like what was the show? It was a show for a band called Parkway drive. It was a real long time ago. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:08:06 And I bought two tickets thinking like, oh my God. And it was a guy that I kind of like, we're really good friends and whatever. And he goes, Oh, Tony, this is sick. Like, I'm going to take that girl that I've like got a crush on. And I went, is it me? Uh, and it wasn't me. I had to then go and borrow my mom's credit card again, because you bought them online. It was like a long time ago.
Starting point is 00:08:28 I went online and bought myself a third ticket because yeah, that's so demoralizing. That's so demoralizing. Because I think it's assumed that if you give like, if someone gives you two tickets, you go. So when you gave me two tickets to young gravy, no, that ticket was not for me. And I stipulated that I actually think on the podcast, I said, I've given you two tickets and that's not one extra for me. That is two for you.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Okay. So unless stipulated, it's implied that you go with them unless stipulated. Yeah. Like, I think it depends on what it is, but you go, Oh, I bought you this for you and Bridget to go and do or something. Yeah. But like, if it was like, Oh, I bought two tickets and like, oh, that's for me. Like, is that a weird thing to assume?
Starting point is 00:09:10 Not sure. Okay. I'd love to hear people's thoughts on that as well. When you woke up this morning, did you think we'd talk both about dubstep and parkway drive today? No, I didn't, but what a great day for me. Huge day. Great day for me. I've just put my fucking stretchers back in my ears. Jen. Hi, Jen.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I traveled all the time for work, so mom would often send presents to the hotel. Isn't that cute? Oh, yeah. What's your birthday? Where are you? I'm working in Cincinnati. Oh, great. Well, I'll send you a present over.
Starting point is 00:09:41 That's quite sweet. Yeah. She sent me an Udi, which I love, but I didn't factor in how much suitcase room it would take up, which was in fact one suitcase per like full, like the Udi took up a full suitcase. That is such a shame because an Udi is such a gift from God. And as someone who on the first day of a 35 day trip around the US bought a cowboy hat at Billy Bob's Honky Tonk in Fort Worth, Texas. I get it.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Like I really get it. Because didn't that thing become a real burden. So you kind of mentioned that more than once I'd say every, cause we were traveling to a new town every day. So we were packing up our lives every single day. And what'd I say every day when we got into the cab? Every single day you're like, fuck, that hat's made it. And it was like a shock. But, and I thought how hard could it be?
Starting point is 00:10:34 But then when we went to London, don't know if you remember a key element of my outfit for Taylor Swift was a hat. Welcome. The 22 hat, my version there. You rolled your eyes at the cowboy hat. And I've got this huge... So I've just got a call from the accountant. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:10:52 And I've got this huge like felt hat in my suitcase that needed to make it there so I could have it as part of my costume. So I've actually, I've been there, but the hoodie in the suitcase, yeah, not going to happen. Just no way. Melissa Eggers. Hi Mel. My in-laws bought me the top of a barrel. What? Like a wine barrel, but like the top cut and it's just the top, which is supposed to be used as like a serving platter.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Oh, cute. Okay. But it's so, this is what Mel said, it's so fucking heavy. You can barely move it, let alone when you put cheese and dips and drinks on top, she's like, it's just so impractical. It's so heavy and it's so fucking big. It doesn't fit in any cupboards. And you can't like leave it outside cause the wood and stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:38 So you're like, I haven't read the comment, however. Oh, I haven't read the comment, however. No, no. Oh no. Every six weeks to prevent the barrel, wood and metal from buckling, I have to water the barrel. Water it? I have a fucking calendar reminder to water a barrel.
Starting point is 00:12:00 I used to live to take care of my family, but recently it feels like I live to care for the barrel. I work for the barrel. I used to live to take care of my family, but recently it feels like I live to care for the barrel. I work for the barrel. The barrel has consumed most parts of my life. That, that's worse than an orchid. Yep. And also I imagine it would have been really expensive. Yeah. And you know, a gift from the in-laws as well. You can't exactly like piff that out. Finally, Shay Gordon.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Hi, Shay. An uncle joked that he wanted a pigeon for Christmas. They're like, oh, what are you on for Christmas? He goes, oh, I'll get a pigeon. But like Ryan doesn't fuck with empty offers, I don't fuck with jokes. So I called him on his bluff, bought a pigeon and boy did that thing cause a ruckus at the Christmas table on Christmas day. A rogue pigeon. She's like, everyone's open the door.
Starting point is 00:12:46 It's a jumper. Oh, it's a new pair. Yeah. And then opens the button. And there's a pigeon to the Christmas dinner table. And the granddad goes, how'd you bloody do that? It ended up being a chore for me the week prior. I had to keep that dove alive.
Starting point is 00:13:04 But what's going on? Did he call you as well? It ended up being a chore for me the week prior. I had to keep that dove alive. But what's going on? Did they call you as well? No, my computer's on really loud because of the dubstep. Sorry. It ended up being a chore for me the week prior, says Shay. I had to keep that thing alive in my house up until Christmas day. So I had to get cages and perches and bowls and biscuits. And honestly, what a fucking chore pigeons are sucked into my uncle. Well sucked into him as well. He goes, Oh, how, how hard could it be?
Starting point is 00:13:35 I thought the pigeon would be a burden for my uncle as well, but he fucking loves that guy and they get along real well. Oh, that's actually quite nice. That is quite nice. That is quite nice. God that I didn't end with the pigeon actually flying off on Christmas day. And then he goes, ta-da! Hey, it's Claire from Nashville, Tennessee, and you're listening to Tony and Ryan.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Before we get into saying hello to our champion tapas, you might've heard my computer go off before. You might've heard Tony's go off. Turns out our accountant had been texting us and nothing urgent or a problem and Tony just sent a text message to him. And what's on the end of that text message? Well, I just said, Hey mate, sorry, we're recording at the moment. I'll give you a buzzer. What is he? All good. No rush.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Full stop. Did he have exes? Oh, no exes. Any O's? Oh, no exes. No O's. Oh, shit. Text him back and say, sorry about the exes.
Starting point is 00:14:58 Sorry about the exes. Sorry about, sorry about the exes. On the end. Ha ha. Have it, lol. I was very, very unprofessional of me. Sorry. Xoxo.
Starting point is 00:15:07 So unprofessional. Um, uh. Xoxo. Unprofessional. He's typing. And I just said, okay, I said, sorry about the ex on the end. Ha ha. Habit lol.
Starting point is 00:15:21 Thanks. And I said, sorry. And next message. Sorry. So unprofessional with a hundred exclamation marks. What's it? Oh no. He's typing. He's typing off. He's typing. Oh no. Oh no. Oh, you're still typing. Oh, he's writing an essay about- They've gone away. The dots have gone away. Oh, he's calling the police. Oh no. Well, hey mate, three years of podcast.
Starting point is 00:15:48 We had a pretty good run. He started texting and stopped again. Yeah. Oh no. Cause one of the other- He's probably calling his wife. Yeah. Or his daughter.
Starting point is 00:15:57 He's a family man. I don't think I can read out what he just replied. Go on. I'm going to show it to you and you can decide if we read it out. I don't know if we can read that out. Maybe he's not a family man anymore. If anyone needs their taxes done or any servicing, give Nick a call. Don't say his name. Shit.
Starting point is 00:16:24 You said his name. I don't know if we can put that. We can't read that out. It's not bad. He's not angry. He's not, he is very not angry. No, he just said, he just said, don't change for me. Yeah. And then he said, I'm very, cause Tony said, sorry to make you uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:16:44 And he said, I'm very, cause Tony said, I hope, sorry to make you uncomfortable. And he said, I'm very comfortable. He listens to this podcast. He knows I'm capable of much worse. Your honor. He actually knows I'm capable of worse. Thank you very much for our champion, darbs, please don't leave us. Yeah, yeah, it seems I may have killed this guy, but I've actually killed way more. I've killed way more people in the past. Yeah, so all good.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Okay, shut up. Lexi, something good on you, Lexi. Sally, Taylor, Kimberly, Penda, hardly know her, and Hailey, why? I hardly know her either. Holy moly. Let's just take a breath. Let's just take a breath. Let's just take a breath.
Starting point is 00:17:26 I've actually got some big family news to share and I think we just need to regather. Family news? Yeah. Oh no. Yeah. I don't think I told you about this. Um, yeah, but it's probably, it doesn't feel right to come off the back of you trying to hook up with our accountant to go into some serious family news.
Starting point is 00:17:40 So I feel like, can we just take a moment and you listening, just like, take a deep breath, let's just center out, let's ground ourselves. I'm feeling centered. Feel good. We all good? What's the serious family? Sophie, you good? Oh, thanks for asking. I'm fine.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Tony? Yeah, I'm good. Okay. I'm feeling all right. Well, not really because of this news. Oh no. What's happened? My wife, Bridget is leaving me. Who? For Adam Brody. My wife? My wife, Bridget is leaving me.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Who? For Adam Brody. My wife. My wife. My ex-wife. Is leaving me for Seth Cohen from the OC. Completely understandable actually. You don't hold a candle to him. And honestly, great call by her.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Yeah. Because- Oh no, what's happened? She has watched Nobody Wants This, the new show on Netflix. I haven't watched it yet. He's like a sexy rabbi. And is it Kristen Bell? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:31 You know this one? Yeah, they both fun. And yeah, good pairing I feel. Great pairing. Yeah. And the internet apparently is melting down. The internet's wet, into it. Can I read this tweet by Emily?
Starting point is 00:18:46 Please. Hi, Emily. Adam Brody's riz in this show is off the charts. It's like Seth Cohen grew a beard and realised how fine he was and sent an entire generation of OC girls into heat. As an OC girl from way back in the day, like you used to watch it on Sunday nights, like as it came to Australia. I love to see this. And were you, you were like as you were a Seth girl?
Starting point is 00:19:12 Um, or- Seth is his character in the OC by the way. I'm actually- If you're a team Ryan. I actually- Oh bad boys! Cause he's a bad boy, he's from Chino, he used to rider by Stalker. Yeah. Yeah. So I was, I was a fan of Ben McKenzie.
Starting point is 00:19:28 But appreciate both. And I used to, I thought that Seth was so funny. Yeah. And because like. But has he kind of like grown into himself almost. I think it's a bit of that. And I think also just that you're like, they were both heartthrobs. I was just more team Ryan. Well, Bridget said to me.
Starting point is 00:19:46 There's like that, between smoking and stuff, it's like crazy. But even seeing him smoking now, you kind of like, is he old enough to smoke? Well, yeah, but you see that now and you go, oh, yeah. You know, but back in the day, a cigarette. So you know, that very first thing of the OC when Marissa's like, can I have my cigarette? I love it. I'm going to watch that again. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:08 So Bridge said I'm leaving and I went fair. And you go, sweetheart, I understand. And you go, well, I'm actually cracking on with the accountant. So this is great. I've actually been pretty busy at work. I'm very busy. So all good. Also on Netflix at the moment, cause TV chats.
Starting point is 00:20:24 What was that show you took me mentioned before? Oh, Monsters. Everyone's talking about that. It's like the re and I think it might be a Ryan Murphy one, but it's like the re reenactment of like a story where the two boys like killed their parents and like, no spoilers. That's like the premise. So apparently the people who were in jail, who are the boys, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:43 They've like put out a statement that said like, you know, they've mis-portrayed us and that's not really what happened. And said like, you've ruined our lives. And everyone's like- Baby, you're tweeting that from jail. Yeah, I reckon you ruined your life by killing those people. However though, the thing is,
Starting point is 00:21:00 is that it's a bit of a Gypsy Rose Blanchard vibe that it's kind of like- You've just said words there, You're going to have to, Oh, so you know, gypsy Rose, um, the girl who recently got out of jail for killing, will be paying a part in killing her mom. Sure. But the mom and her, I don't know, the Munchausen's by proxy story where the mom tells the daughter she's ill and stuff. And so the daughter like kills her to try and escape. Yeah. Um, so that she can like live her life and whatever. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Um, and obviously they're very different cases, but you kind of go like, Oh, well, is there no part where it's like, well, the parents tortured the kids. So like, are you really like, if you had to do that to escape, not, I'm not condoning either, but I fucking get it. Cause if you felt so trapped, then. That's your only way out. Like, and again, not, yeah. It's a tough one. Montreal is fucking insane.
Starting point is 00:21:49 It's another movie about something similar. I think it's the same story. Yeah. Because there's been a few series about that. Cause you just, you're watching it like, oh my God. That story is wild. Terrifying. Yeah. But yeah, that show Monsters is apparently awesome. I've seen it every year.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Yeah. Um, the number one show on Netflix for streaming last month was the perfect couple. And it was apparently five times more watched than whatever was the second. Oh, not even close. Yeah. Everyone dove in. So I can, and I was going to be up front. I've only watched two episodes. Yeah. So I'm coming at this with two episodes of knowledge. I've watched the whole thing. Okay. Sophie's watched the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:22:29 I've only watched two episodes. No spoilers here. I've only watched two episodes. No, no, no, no, no. Do I have to watch the dance intro every time? Okay. So this is actually my... I have many gripes with this show. Is it Nicole Kidman refusing to stick to an accent? That doesn't help. Love her. There's one specific sentence where she just went, I'm just going to say this is Australian.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Australia's sweetheart. Absolutely love her. I'm sure that like everybody has a connection to Nicole Kidman, Sophie with her red hair, obviously. A bit of an icon. I feel like the dancing though, and this is not a spoiler. It's the intro theme song. This is not a spoiler. The way that they play it though, is kind of like, it's a throwback from a scene.
Starting point is 00:23:16 It never happens. So it never happens in the show. They filmed that specifically to be the theme. That makes no sense at all. Tell me about it. Yeah, like, cause I've watched two episodes. And so when I saw it the second time and went, Oh, I'm not going to have to watch that every time am I?
Starting point is 00:23:33 Is that telling you like? No, so it's in every single episode, but there's no relevance, but they're also like all not in character because they're all like laughing and joking and stuff. But like none of those characters like each other in the show. Yeah. And it's like a murder mystery. So you're watching it and you go, well, so they do they like each other or not. But like, so they've filmed this when they hadn't been killed yet. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:23:56 Yeah. It's like the strangest. This choreographed dance thing. It's really weird. And because I was like, oh, I can't wait to get to the episode where they show This choreographed dance thing. It's really weird. Yeah. Okay. And cause I was like, Oh, I can't wait to get to the episode where they show the context of why that exists, but it doesn't. It's like not a part of the show.
Starting point is 00:24:16 But that was, that's my, like I wrote one, I'm like, I've got something for this. But I watched, I did watch the whole thing and keep watching. Okay. Is there a few twists and stuff? I don't want to say cause I don't want to piss anyone off. Cause remember when I said something that was very obvious that happened in New Girl, which came out 20 fucking years ago and I got rinsed. True or false? You made a reference to a TV show that was 10 years old in your book and the publishers made you delete it. Yeah, they made me take it out.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Yeah. Yes, that did happen. I totally forgot about that. Yeah. What was it? It was about how I met your mother. Yeah. Yeah. And now you can't put that in. And they were like, oh, spoiler for a thing. When like, yeah, that show finished a long time ago. The reason I actually decided, cause like, you know, you see it online and when you log into Netflix, it's like the banner show. I mean, you know, it's like, here it is. Yes. The one thing that made me want to watch it. Oh, this is the point where I went, Oh, that looks, and then I saw this and I was like, well, I'm going to have to check it out now. It's this guy doing a skit on Tik Tok. You know, it's classic skits where it's like,
Starting point is 00:25:14 they're playing both characters, but he's got like a mop on his head or whatever. To be the woman of the thing. Yeah. Yeah. And so it's basically a conversation between Nicole Kidman and Nicole Kidman's like agent. basically a conversation between Nicole Kidman and Nicole Kidman's like agent. So the agent goes, yeah, so you can just like change accents anytime and there will in every episode be a chance for you to look out the window to the ocean and then pull your cardigan closed shut and for you to like stare out mysteriously. And she goes, I'm in. And the agent goes, oh, sorry, sorry.
Starting point is 00:25:46 I was just calling to say, did you want to have a look at the script? No. I mean, that does happen a lot. Yeah. And they go, yeah. So you know, there's other 20 you've done. It's pretty much the same. And she goes, done.
Starting point is 00:25:59 I, so, yeah. And the agent's like, no, I wasn't asking if you're in. I was just saying, can I mail you? Yeah. The script, did you want some info? No. Yeah. The agent's like, no, they don't want you. I wasn't asking if you're in, I was just saying, can I mail you this girl? Did you want some info? No. Yeah. No, they don't want you.
Starting point is 00:26:09 She's like, tell them I'm going to be telling them Nicole will be there. Nicole is in. Um, I think that maybe actually bring up a good point. Maybe that's why I wasn't as into this because big little lies is so good, which is the same show. I said it's a bit too similar. Well, it's not about, but it's like, oh, they tried to capture the same energy, but Big Little Lies is so fucking good.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Right. Like that show is unreal. Someone said they tried to capture a bit of White Lotus. Does that- That feels right too. Cause it's a bit like, yeah, I- So they've gone, I like that show. I like that show.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Let's just mix them together and make another one. It's a bit like that, but it's also just the writing and the stories. Maybe not really there for me. Okay. Um, keep watching it and, um, and let me know what you think. I know that you won't. I know that you're going to stop here. Probably.
Starting point is 00:26:59 The thing it is good though, uh, is dropping a bombshell in the last 10 seconds, which means you have to watch the next episode. I mean, that's what they, that's how I get it. And that, and it's working. It is working. It is working on me. But one thing, and I don't know if this is going to have spoilers, but there's like, the cast is crazy, like lots of big names in it.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Yeah. Lots of big names, but the, I didn't. Liv Schreiber, um, he's a babe. He can get hurt. And yeah, does. Shut up. Oh, no, I'm gonna. Liv Schreiber. Um. He's a babe. He can get hurt. And. Yeah. Does.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Shut up. Oh, no, I'm gonna lie. Shut up. You always do this. Okay. Okay. Um, there's a lot of good looking people, a lot of famous people. A lot of famous people.
Starting point is 00:27:36 One person I didn't really know that much about, and I don't think was maybe designed to be the lead, but I actually think they're the best fucking part of the whole show is the female detective. Female. Oh, like the cop. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. So, uh, Donna Lynn Champlin, but she's a bit funny. Yeah, she is. And you don't, and it's because she is a bit grumpy. It's like unsuspecting. Oh, that's a bit funny. Yeah. Yeah. Dry comedy kind of. And just tell, and like, so when this, the family's like crazy, silly, rich, like out of touch with reality rich.
Starting point is 00:28:08 And so they'll be like, you know, saying something silly and she'll be like, okay. Yeah. Sure, mate. Yeah. Like kind of, yeah. So no spoilers, but I just, and she's the detective, so I'm, I don't think that's a bit- Why is there a detective?
Starting point is 00:28:20 What are they investigating? But for me, three votes to her. Yeah, that's a good call. Unassuming star. I love her. Yeah, that's a good call. I love her. Yeah, I like that.
Starting point is 00:28:31 She should get a spinoff. Hope she's still alive at the end. Hope she gets a spinoff. Oh my God. Is she? I'm not, I'm like literally never ever talking about the end of a TV show again. Is Liv Schraver available? Oh, I'd love to know.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Like his character is good in that because he's just a bit like brooding and a bit like smokes heaps of weed. Heaps of weed. Like sits on his boat and like, okay. Yeah, I'm a bit of that. What do you love to see Tony Lodge? A different kind of family drama occurring for me is that last week, last Monday, I shared a story about how my sister trusted me with her children, their very first sleepover ever.
Starting point is 00:29:10 And I showed them a movie that I didn't know ended maybe in some tears. Yep. Yeah. And then I got this, I got this message from my sister. You said, let us know if your sister comes back on that one. So you didn't mention it to her? I didn't mention it to her. Did you swear the kids to secrecy that Aunt Toddy showed a pretty bad movie before bedtime?
Starting point is 00:29:30 No, no, no. A nightmare inducing film? No, no, no. Absolutely no secrets and absolutely no like asking from me. They just went home, went about their merry way. That was fine. But my sister did listen to the episode and this is the text that she sent me yesterday. Hello, just listened to the yep.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Was going to ask you to babysit for our wedding anniversary on the weekend, but think we might just have a date night at home where the boys will be safe in bed. Well, the real question is now you're free for the weekend. So this is my question, right? Am I off the hook? I think so.
Starting point is 00:30:09 You've done a great job. I've got the weekend off. I don't have to look after the boys. We can watch the Smurfs with worry free. Yeah. And I think the lesson here is if you're an auntie or an uncle or someone that takes care of kids, show them the most hideous, gruesome films. No, that is not fair. And I think the lesson here is if you're an auntie or an uncle or someone that takes care of kids, show them the most hideous, gruesome films possible.
Starting point is 00:30:31 And then you don't need to do it again. No, no. All good. All good. I kind of messaged her back and I was like, um, so we all good? Or she'll be fine. Oh, they'll forget. They'll fine. Oh, they'll forget. They'll forget.

Starting point is 00:30:57 Teachers at a university and at the start of one of our lectures last week, sort of goes, Oh, did everyone hear that Maggie Smith died? Like how sad, you know, the actress, she passed away last week. Professor McGonagall. Yeah. So she was in Harry Potter. She was also in Downton Abbey or Bridgerton on one of those ones. Downton Abbey.
Starting point is 00:31:15 But I think she's been in like a jillion, billion things. Yeah. And I saw, and I think everyone when I saw that went, Oh, that's a shame. Like, um, and all the students in Frankie's class, like look shocked and stunned. Um, cause they've probably seen Harry Potter. Uh, only then Frankie said, did I realize that we actually have a student named Maggie Smith in that class and she wasn't in class that week cause she was doing
Starting point is 00:31:40 an internship and so everyone's rocked up to class and she's gone, yeah so Maggie Smith died and they all look around and Maggie's not there.
