Welcome to the podcast. Welcome. My name is Ryan. I'm here with Dr. Arthur Tony Lodge and we are calling Natalie, who's in the UK. UK, hum? You all right, mate? You okay?

You? No. So what I already did. Yeah, I was trying to contribute. I was like, I was yes anding. UK. Oh, Australia, mate. Oh, American dude.

Hello. Hello, Natalie. Hello, Natalie. Hello, Tony. Hi, how are you? I'm good, thank you. How are you? I'm well, thank you. And guess who's with me?

Oh, my God. Ryan, can you believe it? Natalie, will you approve the podcast? Of course I will. Yay! Hi, it's Natalie from Liverpool and I approve this podcast. Welcome to the podcast. Happy...

Are we doing it now or in the second half? Sorry. Yep. Oh, no, it's a genuine question. Well, it's in the second half. Yeah. But we could say top line now or nah. Normal or nah.

Normal or nah. All right, let's save it. Let's save it. Okay. Big launch coming up. Saving it. Let's start with normal or nah. Hayley Hardcastle. G'day, Hayley. How Let's start with the normal or nah. Hayley Hardcastle.

G'day, Hayley. How are you, doll? Normal or nah. Seeing a friends, in inverted commas, birthday pop up in Facebook notifications and having no memory of who that person is and unfriending them on their birthday. Oh, my God. Fuck, that's a really niche situation, isn't it? That happens every day. I don't get birthday notifications on my God. Fuck, that's a really niche situation, isn't it? That happens every day.

I don't get birthday notifications on my Facebook. You know how it's like a notification with its own timeline? It's like, here's 64 things you might like today. No. It's like, are these three people who have their birthdays? Does that come up on the mobile app or is that only if you look on computer? Yeah, mobile. Oh, I don't get birthday notifications on my –

And he goes, oh, three people's birthday. Send them a note. And I go, who the fuck is that? Oh, I don't get that on my thing. Anyway, besides the point – Because I think not that you want to befriend them on their birthday, but that basically just like jolts you to – like it kind of reminds you that you're friends with them.

No, the opposite. It reminds you that you're friends with them and that you don't know who they are and you're like oh i think was that person on that pub crawl in hong kong and has since got married and has a new last name see i think that that is where i differ from you i don't really have anyone on facebook that i don't know like i do a cull maybe once a year oh and just go right through and just go right through and just or if someone pops up and i go, oh, I don't really have a connection with you or whatever.

I have not very many friends on Facebook because I don't know. I think maybe, and because I'm really old, Facebook came out when I was like 18, 19. So it's like everyone from high school, everyone from uni, and then obviously you grow up and you move on. Yeah. But also it's like every place you move, you get a whole new bunch of people. Who the fuck's that?

Oh, he went to the bar in Mildura. Okay. Yeah, but I don't really hang on to those people, so I guess it's less of a shock. So I'm going to say nah. Well, Hardcastle does it daily, and you're saying you just do a big spring clean. Yeah, I do. Am I still on there? Yeah.

Okay. Yeah. But you know what i mean like i just i just i don't like the riffraff no i don't want to hear about it yeah i actually have a setting on my facebook it's like you can't add me unless we have like a mutual friend really yeah so that's that's a passive regret because then i don't get a million people fucking because i use my facebook for work you know like in our facebook group i use my personal for work, you know, like in our Facebook group. Yeah, that's you. I use my personal Facebook because I don't have a page or whatever. And, yeah, so otherwise it was just like that I was getting people

and I was like, I don't know you, Jason from Indiana. Are you too good for Jason from Indiana? No, the thing is. What has Jason from Indiana done to you except wanting to be your friend? Absolutely nothing. He would divide you. I don't post. I don't check it.

So I was like it just feels like disingenuous. Whereas like on Instagram or whatever, I actually try and reply to DMs. I do that on Patreon as well. I can't have another place where I'm trying to, you know. Too many places. It's too many places. Too many places. 16 places.

Anyway, great question, Hannah. Love you. I think Georgie Wickings is having a day. Oh, we're here for you, G. People think headphones mean I'm listening to something, but what they really mean is I don't want you or any other fuckhead talking to me right now. Don't fucking talk to me is what they mean.

Yep. Georgie. She's had a day. Love you. Normal or fucking nah, she says. Talking to people when they've got their headphones in. At the gym, at the shops, on the bus. If the headphones are in, please leave me, Tony,

and Ryan alone, the three of us. Oh, we were all there together. Is this normal or nah? Normal. Fuck off. Yeah. Headphones mean no. Yeah.

I actually saw a bit on Instagram Reels the other day. You know Flex and Frooms? They were talking about the same thing, like wearing headphones in public. And Flex actually said if you don't wear headphones in public

you're asking for people, like you're attention seeking. So if you're in the gym, and I actually got the main character energy that she was talking about. If you're in the gym and and I actually got, like, the main character energy that she was talking about. If you're in the gym and you're not wearing any headphones, you're like, oh, if anyone wants to chat, let me know. No. Well, I wouldn't chat to someone because I've got headphones in,

so I wouldn't know. But I also wouldn't talk to anyone in the gym if I was, like, there by myself. What if a boy comes over to you and sees you doing some lunges, some squats, and he goes, oh, she's got no headphones in. She's asking for it. Oh, no, I'm not saying that it's like. Hey, Tony, how are you?

You lifted much to go? How are you doing there? Well, so. Ooh, dang. The only time I'm in the gym with no headphones in is when I'm there with my trainer. Yeah. And so naturally I'm like kind of with him.

And if there's people that are like walking around, moving around us, I'll kind of like look at them, make sure I'm not in the way or whatever, and like I'll always smile and then I'm like that's weird because I've got headphones in. Yeah. Like they're not asking to talk to me but because I'm kind of in chat mode because I'm talking to someone. Because you're awake.

Well, yeah. I just think that everybody's in the same space as me but they're not and that's why you can't talk to people with headphones in because they're either with Tony and Ryan or they're listening to Flume or they're fucking listening to Science Versus. You know, Wendy Zuckerman, she's got a lot to say. She's got a lot to say. You can't be interrupting that shit.

I actually, now I think about it, two points. The gym is almost like alone time for me. Oh, I completely agree. It's like, here's, I've actually decided to go to the gym because I don't want this. And here's my normal on R. Oh. Having headphones in when you're not listening to anything.

Just to signal that I'm not open for discussion right now. Or sometimes if you're wearing headphones and like there's a little bit of things going on around you and you hit pause and you kind of have a bit of a listen in to the drama happening on the tram or like Melanie sitting across from you on the bus is bloody breaking up with her boyfriend on FaceTime. Are you just listening in? You have a little pause and you go, what's going on, Melanie and John? What's happening over there? Tony Lodge.

Yeah, I definitely do that. I think most people don't. I've done that. Normal or nah? Normal? Nah. I'd say almost the opposite in that I've had nothing on and I've heard someone go, hey, Ryan.

And I go, oh, I've got headphones in. You can get away with it. If I pretend I haven't heard that, they're going to give me the benefit of the doubt because of the headphones, even though I'm not listening to anything. No, I totally agree. That's why I always wear headphones at my desk.

Yeah. So you guys don't know what I mean. Yeah. Just kidding. Just kidding. I feel like the vibe between you, me, and Georgie is we're all assholes. That's what I'm picking up from that one. That's fair.

But that's because all three of us are on the bus together. Georgie doesn't want to talk to anyone and interrupt us. Is buttering both sides of bread when making a toasty normal or nah? Scotty Campbell says, I just butter the inside, but my wife reckons you butter both sides. I'm right and she's wrong, says Scotty. Why are you shaking your head? They're actually both fucking wrong.

You only butter the outside. I didn't realise there's a third option. There's a correct option. Why don't you butter the inside? Because don't you want it to melt on the stuff that's in there? No, because you don't need it, but the butter on the outside acts as what? But, like, okay, you get wetness in a toasted sandwich for me from the cheese. So what I'm doing is you go butter on the outside, then the bread,

and then your cheese, and then whatever else. Then you go another cheese, and then you go a bread, and then the butter's on the outside. The butter in a toasted sandwich for me is purely for the crunch that you get from it being in like the panini press or whatever. Yeah. Or the frying pan or however you're cooking it. You don't need it. You don't need it both, but that's personal preference.

You don't need it as a lubricant because you've got the cheese. But you definitely need it on the outside. Yeah. Okay. Well. Definitely. Scotty. What do you do?

I'd probably go both. Yeah, right. I think both is fine, but you definitely need it on the outside. Yeah, Scotty, I don't know how you're going to take that back to your wife. Go, oh, I made jokes on us. We're both fuckheads. Yeah, we're both wrong, sweetheart. What do we do?

Writing social media posts and captions and implying your dog wrote it. Ian asks, normal or nah? For example, actually, Tony, can I get you to read these in the voice that they're intended? I actually can't. No, I see you're going to need to. I can't read this. We can all vomit later.

I likes it when my woman gives me dindids. Num, num, num. Today my hoomans went to work, so I had to play with my toys. I want to kill my own face. I can't deal with that. Thank you for doing that for us, though. Yeah, I have performed a community service. Yeah, the reason I asked you is, oh, I can't do that.

And thank you. Do you know what? Do you do it, though? No, I don't. You are a full-on, like, doggy talker, though. I am, yeah, but I'm not, like, pretending that Pippa can use Instagram. No. You know when people have, like, a Pipstagram and they write it, like, from...

Sorry, the word Pipstagram kind of just rolled off the tongue naturally like you thought about it before. Like if maybe that was her username. Why was that ready to go at the front of your – Well, just because it made sense. Have you thought about this before? No, I would never do dog Instagram. I can barely fucking keep on top of my Instagram.

I've got deleting Facebook requests. I can't have two Instagrams on the go. I don't like a dog. And I'm sorry, this is going to upset people. I don't like a dog Instagram that's like, today my mummy went to work and I had to, like, I'm just not a fan. Why did you do that voice again? Because that's, I'm taking you there.

It's theatre of the mind. You are taking me there. Take me lots of places. I'm not a fan of that. Yeah, no. And I've – you know when – you know when a friend does something like starts an Instagram for their pet and you have to – or starts like a new business or whatever.

They send you a link and go, hey, starting this new thing, can you follow it? Yeah. And you go, of course. Like, of course I'm going to support my friends, whatever. What if hey, starting list, do you think can you follow it? Yeah. And you go, of course. Like, of course I'm going to support my friends, whatever. What if their dog is shit? But it's not the shitness of the dog or the cat or the fish. Doesn't matter.

It's just the principle of the pet Instagram. It's the shitness of your friend. And you go, of course I'll support you. Like, of course I'll support whatever you're doing. And you hit follow and then you go, fuck, I'm going to have to mute that. You know what I mean? Tony's a bitch. He follows, he doesn't even like the post.

No, like. What a bitch. Or you see it and you go, yeah, of course I'll like it and I'll save it and I'll send it to Torb so that you get the engagement, but I just can't deal with it. But you know when a mate does that and you go, oh, okay. Or that someone from work and you go, oh, Jess from accounts, I've now got to see your horse's first person fucking Instagram.

Do you feel like when you see them every time you have to be like, oh, I'm so, how's your horse? Loved that horse-tagram you did. Why don't we choose horses as the example? I don't know. I just felt like I didn't want to marginalise any pets. I'll hate all pets equally. Yeah.

Fuck you and your hamstergram. Hey, it's Natalie from Liverpool and you're listening to Toadie and Ryan. Hang on. Breaking news. Hold off the press. Okay. So, you know how you just said hamstergram? Yeah.

Do you remember the hamster dance song? Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. But sorry, in the break, you've blown my mind with the information. There's like... So there was a... That song came out and mum and dad bought me the hamster dance album.

Album. I think it was called like Hampton's Hamster Dance or something. What were the other nine and a half songs on that album? I don't remember. No one does. But I remember one that I loved and it was, Even hamsters fall in love just like you'd expect them to. Cam's got it.

No. Welcome back. Cam's got it. No. Welcome back. And in other news, recent scientific research has discovered that animals originally thought to have only primary or instinctive emotions are in fact capable of more complex secondary emotions. This discovery proves what animal lovers have known all along. That animals can feel pride,

sympathy, jealousy, and most importantly... Is this a poor man's David Attenborough? ... ... I didn't expect them to. What do you mean, just like you'd expect them to? It's just falling.

Oh, my God. Imagine it's like. So I used to play that on my Walkman. I had the CD on my Walkman. Imagine, like, speaking with your grandma, right? And it's like, oh, when you were younger, grandma, what did you do for work? And she's like, I was a musician. And you're like, oh, well, I was a singer.

And you're like, really? Really? Well, what did you do? She's like, yeah, I was. Oh, it was Hampton, the hamster. Do you remember Hampton, the hamster? And the kids are like, obviously not. And they're like, well, there was this song called

Hamster's Glove 2 because of course they can too. And I fucking sung that. Yeah. I'm glad that that's on Spotify. No, we pitched it up a bit. Yeah. So I sound like a hamster. We pitched it up a bit.

That's on Spotify, is it? It is. Peter, I thought we were special because we were on Spotify. We were on Spotify. Only the best of the best get on Spotify, mate. That's true. Tony, Ryan and Hampton the hamster. We'll link the album.

We're going to link the album. Tony, if I find out that Hampton the Hamster ends up on your Spotify wrapped at the end of this year, I'm going to be really disappointed. Massive shout out to a few of our champions. I hope that you love that rendition of Even Hamster's Falling Love. That was special. Justin Brosnan. I know what would make this shit song better.

Let's put a 45-second biological interlude. I remember listening to that on my Walkman, as previously stated, and feeling really grown up that it had that in it. Because do you remember at the beginning of like... I can think of a song. It's a Bloodhound Gang song, Do It Like They Do on the Discovery Channel. And right at the beginning it's like,

well now we call this the act of meeting. There are several different... And so I thought that was like real grown up and cool. And then I remember listening to that song and being like, oh, this is grown up because Scott talking at the beginning. I'm thinking of Barbie Girl that has that interlude. Hiya, Barbie. Hi, Ken.

You want to go for a ride? Sure thing. Jump in. I'm a Barbie Girl in the park. Oh, I thought we were all going to go. Yeah, no, I thought about it and then I was like, I really want to be doing this. All right.

Justin Brosnan, thank you very much. Dylan Causton, Ashley Pietrangelo, and Happy Mother's Day Kitty. That's actually the name. Oh, okay. So I think it was supposed to be a message, but it's a name as well. You know, it's a double banger. Happy Mother's Day Kitty. I hope it was mewndiful.

Kitty. Okay, cool. Yep, good. All right. It's time. Good. All right. It's time for launch. You go. What am I saying? Okay, I'll go.

Today we are launching Tony and Ryan merch. Woo! All right. What we have is a white t-shirt. A beautiful white t-shirt. Which has the little logo, silhouette, cartoon things of our face. We have a black tarp text. So it just says tarp.

So it's a t-shirt. Yep. And in yellow it says tarp on the left breast. Then we have the grey college style hoodie. It's very cool. Very cool. And we've got a black tarp hat. Very cool hat.

Yep. Sickest hat I've ever seen. If you go on our Instagram or TikTok, you will see us showing them off, but you're going to see a lot of skin. Yeah. Do we need to put an R18 plus on that? Definitely. Yeah, it needs to be highly rated for what you see.

Because we get naked. Yeah, but no spoilers, obviously. Oh, of course. Because that's like the punchline of the joke. But anyway. Guess what happens at the end of the video? Who knows? Stay tuned to find out.

So if you go to our Instagram and stuff, obviously all the links are in bio. But if you go to tonyandryan.com.au, everything's there. Everything's in the show notes. Everything's in the Facebook thread. So you can find it all. But, Ryan, do you want to explain how it works? Because I don't really get it. In terms of ordering and shit? Yeah. Okay works? Because I don't really get it. In terms of ordering and shit?

Yeah. Okay, so. I don't really get it. He's explained it to me many times and I get it wrong every time. Pre-order cuts off June 8th. So you've got a week. So pre-order's open right now. Right now.

Go and do it for a week. And then the orders are being shipped on the 22nd of June. Now, here's some important facts. I am not doing the shipping this time. Yep. So you will actually get it. Do I need to make an announcement? Do I need to like formally resign?

Dun, dun, dun, dun. Hi, my name is Ryan John Dunn. And I, up until, oh fuck, both of us are getting fired in the same week. Um, I was. First the trolleys and now this. Yeah. I was previously, fuck, my job title got out of control at the end, didn't it? Chief Shipping Merch International Taxation and Settlement and Disputes and Customer Service Officer.

You had that ready to go, didn't you? So as the C-I-S-T-V. Yep. I'm actually stepping down and we are allowing a professional shipping merch company to do the actual shipping of merch because someone may have bitten off a little more than he could chew last time. We didn't know at the time. We also thought that only about six people were going to ask for it. And then 3,000 Frank Graham water bottles rock up to my apartment and I go, what the fuck am I supposed to do with these?

That was actually, yeah. So we've decided to not have boxes of shit in our house. Yeah. So the pre-order happens and it's being shipped by a professional shipping company. All the taxes and stuff, it's all included. There's no, we'll pay you back and all the fuck and that shit. Oh my God. But so basically, TonyandRyan.com.au, go and check it out now.

And when, obviously lots of people have asked for merch. Yep. Tony, when it became a realizationisation that we figured out logistics, and by that I mean we figured out there's a guy who can do it. Someone actually knows what they're doing, yep. I said, how good's this? We can be like merch kings. Yep.

And you said, you mean like George Foreman. I've got a lot of like real old school fucking references today. Is that the original merch? I reckon. The original like celebrity endorsement thing. So surely this is like an international thing. It wasn't just Australia, right? Yeah.

This is everywhere. So do you remember the George Foreman? You couldn't walk out the house without running into a George Foreman grill or a George Foreman grill advertisement. Or the George Foreman like cardboard cutouts in Harvey Norman. Yes. Remember when that was a big thing and it was him standing there and he had, like, the boxing gloves and, like,

was holding the thing as well? Yeah. So the George Foreman lean, mean, fat-reducing grilling machine. Fuck, don't tell me my job title rolls off the tongue. What was that? The George Foreman lean, mean, fat-reducing grilling machine. $99.95, including shipping or something. Fucking probably.

I, my whole, we were a George Foreman family. That does not surprise me at all because if there's any gadget or an endorsement, especially, no, a gadget, a kitchen item, Tony is fucking all yours. I'm a kitchen gadget guy. I am, yeah. I fucking get suckered in every time. If you want to make money in this world, create a kitchen gadget

and just market it at Tony and say something like, most people buy 100. And she'll go, okay. And I'll go, well, I'll have two. If everybody's buying 100, I'll have 200. So I remember we had like, so it was huge, the family-sized one, and it was massive, this big white thing.

Like it just took up so, like it was so impractical and it was like the griddle had the griddle lines on it and stuff. And did it work? Did the fat drain away? It did but sometimes like too well because if you put sausage – Yeah, you want a little bit of sausage. If you did sausages or like a rissole, like a burger patty or something, it would like compress down so much and everything would –

like all the flavour would be in there. So I had – If you take the fat out of a sausage, what's left in the sausage? Nothing. It actually just goes invisible. No, it's just gone. Like, you open it up, there's nothing in there. So it was, it used to, like, it's, like, was on a, it was raked.

Like, it was on a. For my pleasure. Would you say it was ripped? It was, no, like it was raked like- Incline. Incline. Thank you. Fucking hell.

And so, and then I had this little like container. Yeah. Like what doctors use during an operation, you know, those jelly bean containers. Oh, yeah. It had like one of those at the bottom. That's where all the fat drained into. And then you would open it up and the sausage would be like a piece of paper thin because it would be all the garbage was gone. It would be like a paper straw.

Yeah, and then, like, the rissole would be so compressed they'd have the little griddle lines on either side, and it would be so flat. But we used ours. Mum cooked everything in ours. So even though it was shit, you were like, every single meal, where's George? No, because it wasn't that it was shit.

It was like, oh, well, luckily we're not eating that like oh all that in there there wrong because it was during that time where it was like fat is bad like every bit of fat you see you're like it's like this poison that you've dodged exactly right like i can't believe that wasn't the slogan of the thing it should have been and so had one. We used it all the time. Yeah. And then I remember Christmas came around and all of – If I find out your family had a fucking turkey on the George Foreman road, I'm going to fucking lose it.

Pull it down the whole road. Mum's turning it as much as possible so that it gets the griddle lines on all sides. Christmas came around and I remember my – so my brother and two sisters are all like at least 10 years older than me. They'd all moved out of home and I remember like it's Christmas Day and there's three big boxes and it's for like Jamie, Libby and Hayley. And I'm like, oh, I didn't get one.

What a bummer. It was a George Foreman grill for each of them to take to their respective houses. And so we had the- You did get $200. All the cousins. Yeah, everyone had one. And then so we had like the big mama at our house, like massive one.

And they had like the little like two-person one that only fit like two sausages and two things on it. And it had a bread warmer in the top. It was blue. Are you ready for the quiz? Yep. How much money, I've got a rough answer from online, how much money do you reckon George Foreman got for them to just slap his name on it and do those ads?

Also, why are they getting boxes to do endorsements? They can't talk. They've been punched in the head so many times. I have no idea. Considering your family probably put through a couple of mils. Yeah. So this is just for the partnership or was he getting residual from every one sold?

There's a big number which was like a total vibe. Okay. You know how. A million bucks? A million. Surely. Try a little bit higher, sweetheart. Oh.

And this is like. I thought I'd overshot it. I was like, nah, my mum spent at least that much. This is like Google search. I reckon there must have been a bit of residual because the number's pretty juicy. No pun intended. But the poison's gone, which is good. It's like those like celebrity net worth.

So it's like a bit of. Oh, yeah. Okay. But how much off that? Two million? How much? $2 million? Mm-hmm. How much? $200 million. How do you think the Tony Lodge lean mean fat reducing

really machine sounds? I'm moving into celebrity endorsements. They go, yeah, you need to be a celebrity. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, our former Nova radio host is bringing out a grill range. Did you, when you realised that all your siblings were getting George Foreman grills, did you feel sad or you had one in the house anyway? We had one in the house.

But did you want your own one? I was really jealous. And because I wanted to be grown up and get like a house appliance, I think I got a fucking bike. Like, yeah, mum, a bike's sick, but like, come on. Come on, give me a blender or a knife. Yeah, I want to dodge the poison. Tony, we've got one in the house.

Yeah. Mum, I want my own. At what age did you stop wanting to, and this is the royal you. Yeah. See how fucking weird it is when people say that? It's not weird. What it is called. I just never heard it before.

Well, that's not my fault. Until you start spouting it. What age, because when, yeah, you're a teenager and you go, oh, I want to be an adult. Because you get excited about like playing house. Yeah. Yeah. But then I feel now like, fuck, what you wouldn't do to be 18 and not have- And not have to worry about your George Foreman grill.

Yeah. So where's the line there? I feel like when you're 16, you're like desperate to start your own life. Yeah. And then I moved out of home when I just turned 21, I think. I'd finished uni and stuff. And then I moved out and then I was like, oh, my God, I'm so independent. And probably in the last like five years, I was like, fuck,

electricity is expensive, eh? Like that wouldn't be bad if you were, you know, living with mum again. Wouldn't it be good if the family just covered like the medical bills? Yeah, or like wouldn't it be great if my mum could still like call the doctor and make my appointment for me? Or imagine if under the Christmas tree there was a George Foreman grill that I could use. Can you still buy them?

I'm going to buy one. I'm going to get one. The poison. Tony, if in five minutes you still want to buy it, like I'll allow it, but can I just talk to you really quickly? Yeah, maybe I won't buy it right now. Yeah. Yeah.

I'll spend my money on TonyRhymeMerch.com.au. Please do. Actually, though, please do. Okay. How do I say this? What? Is this an intervention? Or borderline.

A grill-tervention. License to grill. Get one of those aprons. License to grill. License to George Foreman grill. We can make those. That'll be in the next merch run. Why didn't you say this yesterday?

We could have put it in this merch run. The ideas, yeah. This is some honest. What is fucking going on? I don't like this. This is some honesty hour between the two of us. And the tapas. And the Tarpers. So very casually, a sort of a hobby between Tony and I is like sending each other like units and apartments and townhouses on realestate.com.au

because Tony's like, maybe at the end of the year next year, maybe I might, for me and Torbs, get our own little place. Yeah. A place that we own and call our own. We want Pippa to have a home. Yeah. Yeah. And is it true or false? And this isn't a bad thing.

See, no, whenever you say, would I be correct in saying you just know that something shit's coming? No, but I don't like to put words in other people's mouths. I'm very like, is it fair to say one of the catalysts for you wanting to get your own place is there's not enough kitchen bench space and not enough covered space. Is that true or false? And that's like a very normal, that's a fine thing.

That is true. It is true. Because there is- You don't have a pantry. There's not a lot of covered space. We don't have a pantry. So literally we had to put like one of those cube storage things in. Yeah.

literally we had to put like one of those cube storage things in. And like whoever lived there before us like took out all the shelves where it was a pantry and that's like now where the fridge is. So there's no room for anything and like you can only fit a tiny fridge in there. So it's just a whole thing. It's a hassle. It really is annoying. What I'm getting at is do you think buying a George Foreman grill now

is going to add to the stress of- So should I wait till I get my big girl house and then you guys, as a housewarming present, will buy me a George Foreman grill? I'll go one step further. Two George Foreman grills. I'll get the George Foreman built into the kitchen bench. Like an induction. Like a pizza oven.

So we have people over. We're out the back. They go, yeah, fire up, sweetheart. Have you got a Gosney out there? You got another fucking George Norman grill. Built in. Built in. Plumbed in.

Plumbed in. The poison drains right away. And I think the answer is both. But is the reason that you're short on space, A, because you're short on space, or B, because you buy all this dumb kitchen utensil stuff? Two things can be true. There isn't a lot of space, and, you know,

an air fryer takes up a lot of room. Yeah, yeah, I agree, I agree. I'm not anti-George Foreman, I'm just putting some facts out. Hopefully we have as much success from our merch as George Foreman clearly has made a lasting impact with his merch. I think we'll make $200 million today. And obviously it's not all out because they're AS colour T-shirts, so they're good quality material.

They are actually really nice. And we were very, what's the word? We really wanted to make sure that whatever. It was good, legit. It was good quality but also had a really good size range and all of that kind of thing. Oh, I said this on Patreon the other day, the size range is really good. But if you're in a situation where you can't find the right size for you, message us and we'll work it out.

There is no like, like we'll figure it out on our end. There will be an email where you can send any questions through like a customer service thing and we'll make sure that you sort it out. The other thing that we wanted to say is that like the reason we're doing it as a pre-order is so there's no waste. We didn't want it to be like something where we ordered a million T-shirts and then had to like they end up in landfill.

Like the reason that it works out this way is that no one misses out, everyone can pre-order and we don't end up with things that like get wasted. Which is very important to us. George Norman Girls, do you reckon, just lying around? Zero. Everyone's still using them. You would never throw that out.

I've got a merch recommendation. Recommerch-tation. Recommerch-tation. And I reckon this will – and when I say it, you'll go, oh, of course. I reckon this is the most richest revenue something, big words. Like this will make George Foreman second in the all-time merch game. Oh. I would say it's after George Foreman,

but it has surpassed George Foreman in terms of revenue. Okay. My recommendation is the movie Air that's on Prime Video at the moment. It's just come out. And it's about the creation of Air Jordans. Oh, yeah. So it's basically Matt Damon. It's Ben Affleck.

It's Viola Davis, who's awesome. And then there's some small Jason Bateman's in it. Chris Tucker is in it. And it's a really good movie. So basically the Nike basketball division in the 80s like sucked and they were about to like close down. And they had a really small budget and they're like, oh, maybe if we give, you know, this guy a little bit of money

and tell him to wear Nike's, it'll help. And then, but they're like, yeah, but all the Adidas and Converse have signed all the stars. So they had to like go and get these like, oh, who can we get? Like leftovers basically. And then Matt Damon's like oh who can we get like leftovers basically yeah and then matt damon's character who's the real like scout he goes oh i reckon instead of spreading it around let's just go all in on this jordan kid who plays college ball and um oh my god so it's like the real story and so uh not to i mean we all know how it pans out quite well obviously

but back in the day not give you 10 grand you,000, you wear the shoes, that's it. But then Jordan's mum says, no, no, no, we want a revenue split. Good on your mum. Yeah, and it's Viola Day. Fuck, she's good, isn't she? Oh, she's so good in How to Make a Murderer. No, no, How to Get Away with Murder. How to Making a Murderer, that's the other show.

True crime one, yeah. And then, I don't want to spoil the end. No, don't spoil it because I actually want to watch it, so don't say anything else. But it is, because it's a bit 80s, they're wearing old clothes. It's real heartwarming though as well because they're like. But also just interesting and like a real game changer that's changed the future of like merch and deals and whatever.

Yeah, right. And it's fascinating. So that's my recommendation. And it just came out on Prime. Oh, love that. Ben Affleck directed it and wears some of the funniest 80s Nikes get up you will ever see. Oh, I love that.

And do you reckon that he at the end of it was like, can I keep these clothes? I would hope so. Because they would have been sick. Fucking sick, yeah. But sometimes you're just like, it just cuts to a scene and he's like out for a run and you're like. We get it.

Yeah. It was the 80s. But it's so good. It's so good. Oh, great. That's a great recommendation. That's a great recommendation. Thank you.

And TonyandRyan.com.au. For our merch. Air Jordan, George Foreman, Tony and Ryan. Tony and Ryan. I mean, the three greats. Yeah. And I'm just grilling my burgers out the back in my plum George Foreman with my Nikes on and my Uni. I'm wearing Air Force Ones right now.

Oh, what am I wearing? You're welcome, Michael Jordan. I've got ear balances on. Can I just tell you how much, not in total, per year Michael Jordan earns? From only this. Air Jordans. Yeah. How much?

Per year for the last 20-odd years. Five million? Cam? 20. Each year Michael Jordan earns 400 million dollars. Only from Air Jordan. For his cut. For his

couple of percent. I've got to start playing a sport. These sports guys, they're getting dollars from the bloody- Maybe you could bring out your own stand-up paddle boards. We'll do that next. Next go-round, we'll have the Tony Lodge George Foreman and the Tony Lodge stand-up paddle board.

And I'll put a little cigarette, you know, like cigarette lighter, like plug for power. Can you charge the phone on the paddle board? No, so I can charge up my good George Foreman grill. So while you're out on the water, you can have a hot dog. I'll be grilling while you be chilling out on that water, dang. What else is there? That's the great Australian dream.

Swimming and grinning. Swimming and grilling. I Swimming and grinning. My love to see it is obviously all those ideas, but I saw this photo. I would pay infinite money to see you on the water grinning over the George Foreman grill. How can we make this happen? How much money? How much do you need?

What did you just say that he earns a year? $400 million. I saw this photo online that fucking made me piss as you are a new dad. Yep. And also there's been a little bit of chat around the traps, which I think we'll get to soon, about you maybe becoming an Apple Watch guy. I mean, I've been trying to tell that story, but I keep getting hijacked by Torb.

We'll get there. Who doesn't believe in watches apparently. I saw this photo online. Big clocks after him. Big clock. He's got a big clock. The caption is, thanks Apple, I'll let her know. And it's a baby screaming with a loudness warning on the Apple Watch.

And the Apple Watch is saying, loud environment, sound levels hit 90 decibels. Around 30 minutes at this level can cause temporary hearing loss. But in the background of the photo with the warning, it's a screaming baby. Yeah. Just a heads up to the fucking Apple Watch. The baby doesn't give a fuck. Yeah. You can't turn it down.

Sorry, mate. You've actually hit your 30-minute quota. Yeah. This could result in temporary hearing loss if you don't be careful. But I thought that was so funny. Yeah. I could actually, this could result in temporary hearing loss if you don't be careful. But I thought that was so funny. Fuck. And then, I mean,

Apple's just trying to be helpful. They're just letting you know. Yeah. I thought that was so funny. I mean, it's not $400 million a year but what is? Sorry,

I'm going to let you down. No, I just, it's just, I can't actually comprehend that much money. and you can't. Like how, yeah. What is he doing can't. It's like too much.

Yeah. What is he doing with it? That's what I mean. Like, you get to a certain point and you go, well, what else is like. The craziest mansion ever is like 25 mil and you go, cool. So that's this month's pay. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Like, then what do you do? How many holidays can you go on? Yeah. Like, how much stuff can you, you can't buy that much stuff. Is there that much? I'd say all the stuff in the world would probably total 7 mil. That's it. After that, there's just no more stuff.

There's not that much stuff. There's only so many George Fromans you can buy. What do you mean, all the stuff in the world? Name stuff that cost more than 7 million. Well, I mean, obviously, I don't know. See, neither do I. I'm fucking scrolling cheapest to most expensive, not the other way around.

I thought you loved to see it here. Oh, I thought you loved to see it was the Michael Jordan thing. Oh, does that count? Because you said that was a recommendation. Because you said this is a bit of a crossover recommendation. I'll do recommendations anywhere. Oh, that's what I thought you were doing. Let me throw in you love to see it.

Oh, fucking hell. Sorry, I was getting ready to go. See you later, sweetheart. You're off to grill some dogs. I was off to buy some merch at tonyandryan.com.au. Today's You Love to See It From Me is from Jared Tapper the Tapper from Perth. Oh, yeah, Jared Tapper Robertson. Yep.

Jared just started a new job as a delivery driver at Pet Circle. Congratulations. I tell you, that would be the best place to be a delivery driver because you're dropping off like pet toys. Yeah. Everyone's in a good mood when pet toys rock up They'll be like oh the pet toy's here Yeah and you could probably like squeak the packaging To like attract the dog's attention Oh yeah

And like the dog would be like Yeah they'd love that So Jared Tapp at the tarpa says My love to see these public toilets Now that I'm a delivery driver I can not tell you that I Like I've never appreciated more Public toilets When you're on the road clenching your cheeks Harder than you hold a barbell I can not tell you that I've never appreciated more public toilets.

When you're on the road clenching your cheeks harder than you hold a barbell, just hoping for a McDonald's, a HJ's or a Servo or, worst case scenario, a Port-A-Loo on a construction site. For full disclosure, says Jared Tapper the Tapper, I've been holding this since 6.30am and right now it's 9.39am and I'm texting you from a Caltech service station while sitting on the throne. Question.

Question. What are delivery drivers actually supposed to do? Is that what they're like, find a servo and go or whatever? Because you can't always use a bathroom if you're not like buying something or whatever. Yeah. What is the expectation? Is there not like a workplace duty of care of like you need to be able to stop somewhere and have like a refreshment break

of like having something to eat, having a drink? As someone who needs to go to the toilet all the time. Well, yeah. I cannot appreciate this chat more. Yeah. It's a great question. But what I'm scared about is if we ask the question, so I went through a phase where everyone was tagging us both

in that meme where it was like the toilet seat in the car. Yeah. How many times do you reckon you've been tagged in that? 400 million times. Yeah, 400 million times. If I had a dollar every time. I'd be fucking Michael Jordan. I mean, nothing costs more than $7 million.

I'd be fine. What would you do with the rest of the money? So I guess what I'm saying is you can continue with this line of questioning, but unless you want your inbox to be flooded again with that, I'm just going to pull you up right there. Yeah, it's not important.

Forget I asked. Yeah, thank you. All right, thanks so much for listening. TonyandRyan.com.au. You only got a week to jump on board. Yeah, so you got a week to pre-order, and then everything will be shipping out on the same day. What did you say, the 22nd of June?

Tomorrow on the show, if you've got a grandparent, an uncle, a neighbour, just someone from an older generation that's like needing tech help, which just has what seems like should be an easy question. Yep. This story. This is for you. This is for you. This is for you. That's tomorrow on the question. Yep. This story.
