Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast.
My name is Ryan.
This is Dr.
Arthur Tony Lodge.
Hello.
And we are going to call someone who speaks Tony's language.
Her name is Candy.
She's in Melbourne.
Let's give her a buzz.
Oh, that is a bit of me.
Yeah.
But you don't know why she's a bit of you.
Oh, yeah.
The candy from Melbourne was enough.
Yeah.
We are a sweet train.
You know what I mean?
Oh, from Melbourne.
That's cute.
Oh, from Melbourne.
From Perth in Melbourne.
Oh, yellow. Candice! Oh, sorry. I That's cute. From Perth in Melbourne.
Hello.
Oh, sorry. I went Candice and Ryan went Candy.
Hi Candy.
Which do you prefer?
Mum only calls me Candice if I'm in trouble.
Yeah, that's fair.
Okay.
So we'll go Candy because you're not in trouble with us.
Now, Candy, I was just saying that you speak Tony Long Lodge's language.
I believe you're about to start a fancy new job in a really rich bank.
I don't know about rich bank, but yeah, I am a fancy corporate.
Yes.
Oh, so do you have you experienced Candice saying that we've never
experienced, which is taking your outfit from day to night?
Yeah, pretty much.
It's they're definitely different personalities. I love that. That is great. You think that that's going to be a huge part of your life when you're a kid.
Really not.
You think that you're going to need to take your office professional outfit out to a bar
for a martini.
Yeah.
That hasn't happened to me yet.
Yes.
Well, Candie's live on the couch just before.
Yeah, that is true.
It's not really.
Candie's live in the dream.
That's amazing, Candie.
I'm so proud of you.
Yeah.
Will you approve today's podcast, Candy?
Yes, of course I do.
Yay!
Legend.
Hey guys, it's Candy from Melbourne and I approve this podcast. Coming up today, big fun show today.
Big fun.
Slightly different to yesterday.
Today we are doing the secret Santa draw for 2024 here at Tarp Tower.
Who is going to get who in the Kris Kringle?
What are the rules?
How strictly are the rules going to be abided by and has Tony used hers from two years ago?
Yet.
What was it? The photo shoot.
Oh my God.
I thought it was the paddle board for a second.
I was like, yeah, we've been through this.
Okay.
We'll get to that.
But first, three gays and an ice cream parlor.
And I think I've seen that porno.
Well, this is, this was heading that way.
Now this story was sent in via Patreon.
So I believe Tony's read the headline and went,
I'll send it to Ryan. This sounds good.
And I was like, you know what? Okay.
But I also think it's a who's the jerk.
I think there's a jerk in this story, but I don't know who it is yet.
So we'll decide together who's the jerk.
Is it the TARPAR or the other guy?
Well, it's obviously not the Tapa.
Well,
all right.
The three of us, all guys were at brunch and there was a really hot guy working
there as our server.
Hot.
He and I were flirting the whole meal.
The server and the Tapa.
The server and the Tapa were like, little comments, little cheeky looks.
Here you go.
So big smile.
Extra coffee.
You know, sometimes when they go, oh, just bring that.
Yeah, all good to Brad.
All good.
Or, or a side.
Have you ever been somewhere where you go like, Oh, could I just get a side of that?
And they go, Oh, don't worry about it.
But you don't have to pay for it.
No, it's never happened to me either, but I've seen it on the films.
You don't have to pay for it. Oh, no.
It's never happened to me either, but I've seen it on the films.
I imagine that stuff's happening.
It happens in Hollywood, I believe.
My two friends suggested I leave my number on the receipt.
When I heard Ryan's friend do the same at the pancake parlor, I knew I had to share
this story.
Oh.
So they're having brunch and he goes, okay, here's my number.
I'll leave it there.
So the tarpa writes the phone number, like on the bill.
On the bill.
Yep.
They pay, leave a tip, generous, I hope.
And then don't, he's winking, sorry.
And they send it back and he goes, oh, okay.
That's so brave.
My number was left.
We proceeded to go about our day.
And while we're at a bar later on, I get a text message from the server.
I was so surprised.
He texted me.
We're texting back and forth.
I'm having a few more drinks because I'm at the bar with my friends getting a
little bit flirtier and more suggestive.
A bit more confident as well.
You know, when you just like, I'm backing this in because I'm feeling good.
And we don't know what the waiter was doing, but he was like matching the energy.
So, you know, he was, you know.
Maybe out of the bar as well.
Who knows?
Or do you mean like it was getting raunchy up from both of them?
Yeah, like the heat.
Yeah.
He was getting back as good as he was giving.
Giving or receiving? Foreshadowing. Yeah. F was getting back as good as he was giving. Giving or receiving?
Foreshadowing.
Yeah.
Foreshadowing.
We're getting a bit flirty on a Sunday afternoon in Chicago.
Chicago!
He then complimented me on my outfit from brunch.
Hot.
Which shows he's paying attention.
Like remembers, oh yeah, you wearing that jumper, so cute.
That's sweet, I think.
The only problem was that outfit he mentioned
was being worn by my friend.
The waiter thought he was chatting
to one of the other guys, not me.
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
Tony, and we'll, we'll look at this from both situations, but what do you, how do you, what do you do?
How do you react to that?
Um, I mean, immediately then all of a sudden you're the bad guy cause you're a catfish.
So I think like to avoid going on that TV show, I think immediately you have to be
like, oh, this is hell embarrassing, but I was the one wearing the blue t-shirt, not the pink jumper.
Yeah.
I think you have to straight away stereotype the three guys at the ice cream parlor.
No, I, but like, you know what I mean? I think that immediately you just have to be like,
short shorts and the big boots.
That's what I would be wearing.
Yeah.
So, but I think, yeah, I just reckon you've got to be honest straight away.
And like no harm, no foul.
Yeah.
He didn't know.
He didn't know.
You know.
So the way to texts, cause he's obviously said, Oh, that's
hang on.
No, what would you do?
Um,
Oh, you know how it ends.
So maybe,
yeah, I mean, it's, it's how awkward, but you, you would just go,
Oh, how embarrassing.
Otherwise, what are you going to do?
Meet up and he's like, well, you're not the guy.
Yeah, exactly.
I wanted to date the other guy and you're.
So he, he must've said you've talking to the wrong guy.
And the way to goes, Oh, no problems, bro.
Can you just pass on you?
Give me your friend's number
and keep in mind all the banter, all the fun on the text messages.
The whole. Him.
Yeah, that he's the guy you've been texting and having fun with.
So at this stage, who's the jerk?
If you had to pick one.
I reckon. It's not brazen of that other you had to pick one. I reckon...
It's not...
It's a bit brazen of that other guy just to go, I can
sharp you.
But not sharp you.
I'd want to sharp your friend.
That was wearing the pink jumper.
I think it is a bit
too forward to just be like,
oh no worries.
Can you tell me that other guy's number?
Yeah.
But I guess all's fair because you go,
well, if you want to talk to him,
I don't want to talk to you anyway.
The tarpa said, no, my friends are visiting from New York.
We're here in Chicago.
Like, it's not going to work out.
No. He said, that's okay Like it's not going to work out. No.
He said, that's okay.
I would fly there to visit him.
When I refused again, he proceeded to call me a jealous bitch and said that I should be helping my friend hook up with a guy like him.
A guy like him.
Direct quote.
See, that's a bit nasty.
Yeah.
And I think being like, no, no, no, I'd fly there for him.
And you go, yeah, like you said,
but the conversation is all me.
You'd fly there for him,
but you wouldn't fucking get on the tram for me.
Just keep texting me.
I'm a sure thing down the road, bro.
I'm right around from the bean.
Yeah. Yeah.
I know where you work. Yeah. I'm walking distance. Hey, I'm a sure thing down the road. I'm right around from the bean. Yeah. Yeah. I know where you work.
I'm walking distance.
Hey, I'm walking here.
New York.
I blocked his number after that said the Taffa and I'm not going back to that restaurant because it's too awkward, which is a real shame because they have a
really good tres lechage pancakes, which I love so much.
Tres leches.
Yes.
That's what I said.
Milk three ways in Spanish.
Is it?
It is.
Is it?
Yes.
Oh my God.
Tres Leches.
Let me have a look.
No.
Tres Leches.
Shout out to everybody who speaks Spanish.
Tres Leches.
Milk cake recipe features three types of milk.
Boom!
Whole milk, condensed milk, evaporated milk.
Impressive for me.
Yeah.
Yes.
I think.
He's lost four kinds of milk today.
Yeah, I'd prefer your friend's milk.
That's what people always say about me and Sophie.
Redact that. They prefer friend's milk. That's what people always say about me and Sophie. Redact that.
They prefer Sophie's milk.
Not your breast milk, Sophie.
What do you?
It's getting worse.
Yeah, redact that.
Sophie has lovely milk.
I don't think you can talk positively,
neutrally or negatively about Sophie's milk.
I think that's just off.
I just can't.
Yeah.
Just no milk chat of Sophie's.
Sophie, you have no milk.
That's the worst thing you can say.
Your milk is fine and you have a normal amount.
That I am neither for nor against.
I am neutral about your milk situation.
Neutral milk hotel.
Hey guys, it's Candy from Melbourne and you're listening to Tony and Ryan.
Did you get any meatballs while you were there?
No, but I gave some.
We were just talking about IKEA and that's staying in.
Me saying, did you have any meatballs and you saying what you said?
That's still in.
Shout out to a few of our champion taffas over at Atria.
I was just saying that I had to make a run for the bathroom in IKEA.
So everybody heard, everybody heard you saying, I gave some meatballs to IKEA.
I did.
Kelly DeSiccio.
Off air.
Nah.
In our little break in the middle of the show.
Mate, always on.
Fuck this place.
I think you know a guy.
I think you have a-
Sophie's milk in your meatballs.
God, what am I given?
I think you, you think you work in a, a workplace that is a safe and trusting environment and
you just want to share with your close friends that you almost shat yourself in an Ikea at
Vic Gardens and now I'm being out into the world as a meatball giver.
I mean, all of those things are all things that you said.
And in the privacy of my own studio, the thing about the studio, the Ikea meatballs, though.
They do a lamb, they do a lamb shoulder.
What?
Like, so I'm walking past, like shuffling past and, and it's like, you see the hot dog and the whatever.
You're shuffling, do you mean like with your little tray on the little thing?
No, I mean, shuffling, like trying to run, but not open my legs too wide.
Shit, your pants.
Yeah. And so-
Not give you meatballs too early.
No, you never want to do that.
And, but then, so I'm running past-
You got nowhere to hold it.
And Mabel's pretty hungry.
So we're like, and we've got like little, little snacks for her.
And we're like, oh, if we just sit down and give her a snack, we can
probably get a snack as well.
And I'm like, they've got a lamb shoulder.
They always have a salmon as well.
A salmon, a pasta.
And I'm like, what the fuck is going on here at IKEA?
Give me 10 meatballs with the gravy.
No lingonberry jam, extra chips.
Oh, guess which one of us used to live across the street from
IKEA at Vic Gardens.
Do you know what is really funny about that?
Is that like when a few people came to stay with us when we lived in that apartment
and because in Perth there's like only one Ikea.
There's only one in Melbourne isn't there?
Or maybe two?
There's two because there's that one and then there's one like down Springvale Road.
Yeah, but yeah, they're not everywhere.
They're not everywhere but then my sister lived in Darwin and they don't have Ikea at all.
And so when they came to visit, there was so many people that were like,
oh, let's go get Ikea food.
Well, like what are they adding?
Because it's just like such a thrill because you don't get it everywhere.
And whatever.
So funnily enough, the like cultural experience we offered when people came
to stay with us was the Ikea over the road with the. That is a cultural experience we offered when people came to stay with us was the
Ikea over the road with the.
That is a cultural experience.
Um, I think no one cared about the Royal Botanic Gardens.
They just wanted to go.
Everywhere's got fucking gardens.
Not everyone's got an Ikea across the street.
That's true.
I think business pitch over the journey and a lot more recently, people have come
to like tarpas have come to Melbourne on holidays and gone, oh, I remember they told a story about this. So I went and went
there. I went to the gardens, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Or Red Rose star, things like that. I reckon
we should like sublet or buy your old apartment. And it's like, it's the true experience, the full
Tony experience. You can live in her old apartment. We'll get just like not people, but just another French bulldog, just a loiter in
your massive courtyard and hang out with John.
Um, and then you'll pick up like a, Oh no, it'll be an app.
And then you put the earphones in and it goes walk across the street to the Ikea.
Yeah, that is good.
The Tony lodge guided tour.
Yeah.
This is the Hoyts where Ryan saw, um, fast and furious by himself because he was
drunk and couldn't drive home yet. Drive home, had to kill some time. Yeah. Uh, here is the massets where Ryan saw, um, Fast and the Furious by himself. Cause he was drunk and couldn't drive home yet.
Couldn't drive home, had to kill some time.
Yeah. Uh, here is the masseuse place where this happened.
Here is the this.
Here's the nail place where Tony got her nails done and didn't have a bra on.
And I was shaken in the thing.
I can show you.
And when you're listening to the guided walking tour, cause it's walking
distance from there, I can walk you down across the street from the barber's
house where I shat on the town.
Ryan could also show you where his scooter got stolen from.
Oh yes.
You could see the boost juice place where we used to get boost juices from.
When I was at Ikea, I envied gardens on the weekend.
Me and Bridge went, oh, the good old days.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a good time.
It was a good time.
The good thing about that is that whatever tap of stayed there could forward on my mail.
Because I think a lot of my mail is still going there.
Actually, if you can go to my old place as well, I think-
And just do a quick recce.
Yeah.
And double check.
Yeah. That'd be great.
That'd be fantastic.
That's too fast, Brunswick.
Well, anyway.
Yeah. Actually, don't forward it on. Just pay the bills. Yeah. That'd be great. That'd be fantastic. It's so fast, Brunswick. Well, anyway. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Actually, don't forward it on.
Just pay the bills.
Yeah.
Just give the middleman.
And buy me a ticket in the RMS time lottery.
That there's definitely a plate catalog there for.
Dump me rubbish in the dumpster downstairs that I used to do.
Yes.
Make it rain.
A massive, massive shout out to Kelly DeSiccio.
What a great era for the, for the top.
It was a real era, wasn't it?
They could swing past our old studio.
We both still got keys.
Yeah, we do actually.
She probably returned those.
Yeah.
Amy DBRC.
Good on you, Amy.
What did she do?
Yeah.
What did Amy do?
Amy DBRC.
I'd prefer to deeper Fanny.
Sorry. Akana Perinsheri. I'd prefer to deeper fanny, sorry.
I can't, I'm actually going to struggle to not shoot myself this episode. Amanda Wilson, good on you, Sierra.
Love you, Sierra and Gabriella Cavallo.
Uh, thank you everybody for being a champion top.
I, we really can't do it without you.
Um, we will be doing another live stream on the 23rd of December.
We will be.
For Champion Tarpers.
Ryan and I are gonna jump in the pool.
We're gonna do a quick live stream,
maybe have a little cocktail.
From my pool with Negronis.
The plan is.
Are you on a whiskey sour?
A very private dips and dips.
Yes.
For our Champion Tarpers right before Christmas.
And the idea is we're gonna do that first thing
in the morning, Melbourne time.
So people will be able to watch like,
I don't know, On Your Way to Work, whatever.
Everybody overseas will be able to watch Sunday afternoon
and it will be our final little Merry Christmas
before I go and do my fucking food shopping.
I'm gonna do it that day.
So-
Nah, not after the dips and dips.
Nah, cause did I mention the groanies?
My sister, I've already organized, Libby going to come pick me up from your house.
Don't tell her where I live.
She's going to come pick me up from your house. Maybe.
Bring the togs.
She'll come and pick me up and then we're going to go do our food shopping.
So I'm very excited.
I just said togs, not dogs. Cause that dog is yappy.
What dog?
Her dog.
Her dog's not yappy. It is huge dog is yappy. What dog? Her dog. Her dog's not yappy.
It is huge.
It yaps.
Does it?
Yeah.
Remember when we were at her house in the backyard drinking wine on the trampoline?
When Sophie smashed all that glass in the backyard.
Yeah.
The dog didn't like that.
Sorry, Sophie.
Maybe it was the glass.
I think that, yeah, any dog would bark about that.
It doesn't yap though.
It woofs.
Yeah, no, that is true.
Cause it's big.
That is true.
It's a big dog.
All right.
Let's do the secret Santa draw.
Now, first of all, we've got a bit of housekeeping to take care of. Yeah, no, that is true. Cause it's big. That is true. It's a big dog. All right. Let's do the secret Santa draw.
Now, first of all, we've got a bit of housekeeping to take care of.
Okay.
Last year, there was some controversy that producer cam RIP was not included in the secret
Santa.
Uh, Tony believes that there is a significant amount of comedy in us getting each other
and then pretending that we don't know who we've got.
Thank you. Jokes aren't that funny when you explain them, but I don't know how people don't get that. Obviously it wasn't bullying. It was comedy. However-
Maybe that's why he's not here anymore.
No, it's not. That's not why.
So we've got a predicament here because we have the lovely Sophie with us.
You can't call have the lovely Sophie with us. Uh, call her the lovely Sophie after the fucking harrowing you should
shit you said about her milk earlier.
You can't call her the lovely Sophie.
The professional Sophie professional.
So if you commented on my balls the other day, she did talk about your balls.
Yeah.
Well, you did.
You did.
Talk about your balls. I asked if you were getting laser hair removal on your balls.
Yeah, there it is.
There it is.
Yeah.
No.
So Sophie has been taken out of the secret sector.
So, so that we're like, we're Natalie and Brulia.
There's been drams.
Is there comedy in us having us and is it unfair to leave out the professional milk neutral-
Colleague.
Colleague.
Sorry, Sophie.
You are actually not my colleague.
My friend and my lover, but for legal reasons,
I have to refer to you as my colleague.
So the official decision-
Hang on, sorry.
She didn't say it back.
You're also my friend and my lover.
But I'll just put my hand up so I can't see me. Yeah,'t say it back. Um, you're also my friend and my lover, but, um, I just put my hand up so I can't
see.
Yeah.
I feel left out.
I'm not looking.
You go.
No, no, you go.
Um, love you.
Love you.
Ryan's my best friend though.
So you like you're right below.
Yeah.
But I'd rather be a lower tier friend and lover then best friend.
That's not getting any.
You're my best friend and I'll suck your dick.
Yeah, there we go. Just wanted to make sure.
Show me your Santa sack. You know what I'm saying?
Now, do we want to...
Anyway, yeah.
Do we want to draw this first and then I'll go through the rules?
Well, so where do we land?
Sophie's in.
Sophie's in.
Sophie's in.
I love it.
It's a three-way secret Santa.
It's a three-way secret Santa.
This is great news. People can't see you. It's a three way secret Santa. It's a three way secret Santa.
This is great news.
I'm glad that there's comedy in the world still.
Okay.
She's not, she's shaking her head.
Now you can, can you hang on?
Can everyone?
There's a Santa, uh, Santa hat.
And there is-
Santa um, hat?
And there are three names in here.
Okay.
Tony.
Who's going first?
I'll go first.
Okay.
Tony Lodge.
Yep.
I will now walk over to Sophie.
Okay.
You said it.
Oh wow. Yeah. So it's to Sophie. Okay. Oh wow.
Yeah, Sophie, it's full service.
It's a special day for me.
Sophie's is good.
Sophie's is good.
Now I will draw mine.
Okay.
Oh, perfect.
Great.
Okay.
You can draw mine.
I'll draw mine.
Okay.
Oh, perfect.
Great.
Okay.
You can draw mine.
Okay.
So, Sophie, you're going to draw mine.
Okay.
So, Sophie, you're going to draw mine. Okay. So, Sophie, you're going to draw mine. Okay. So, Sophie,. Now I will draw mine. Okay. Oh, perfect.
Great.
Okay.
So we're all really happy with who we got.
Can I ask you a question?
Yes.
Is it okay, like if you draw your own one?
Yep.
Okay.
Can I ask one more follow up question?
If hypothetically that's what happens to me.
That's fine.
Just cause this is for work.
Um, are we using the work card for that's fair.
Presence.
That's fair.
Yep.
Okay.
Cool.
That's all my questions.
Thank you.
All right.
So now let me go through the rules.
Fuck.
He's the, he's the average.
We've all got our person who we will be buying for
and we're using the work card.
Yeah.
And the limit is $30.
Great.
Now there is no going over the limit.
Sophie.
Cause you've been very strict in the past, Tony Lodge.
You are always on my case when I went over.
So we have to be strict this year.
Yep.
Tony.
No, I great.
I think we have to be strict.
Okay.
Sophie definitely has to be strict for whoever she got.
Um, now two years ago, we included the dogs.
Oh yeah.
And my dog, BJ got your dog Pippa, uh, a dog and owner photo shoot.
Where are we at with that?
Um, so about when did you say you got that two years ago?
Yeah.
About a year and a half ago that expired.
And we, would you like me to message them and see if they'll honor it?
Um,
I spent good money on
Yeah.
I think if they'll renew it, I think if they'll, we'll honor it.
We should do it.
I think that'd be really fun.
Okay.
And then we could organize it and then do it.
Yep.
That would be good.
Okay.
I think that would be very sweet.
Okay.
But should we include the dogs this year?
Well, the dogs, they pulled names out of the hat and we didn't know who they had.
And it turned out they had each other, which was cute.
Yeah.
Oh, they weren't included this year, obviously, because there's only three
names and they're not here putting their paws in.
Yeah.
But we're, so no dogs.
No dogs.
Okay.
Great.
Um,
Was that ruin plans maybe? Nope. Good. Cause I had no plans. No, I also had no plans and I actually didn't even think so no dogs. No dogs. Okay. Great. Was that ruin plans? Maybe?
Nope.
Good. Cause I had no plans.
No, I also had no plans and I actually didn't even think about the dogs.
Then just then when you said about the dogs, I was like, fuck,
I've got to come up with something for the dogs.
So no, that's perfect.
That's perfect. Okay.
So $30.
$30 limit.
Or do you want to change that?
Now, I think what I have in mind, I could probably scooch in for just above that.
So that's okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I mean, we're not going to check the receipts.
I mean, I'll have work pays for it.
Someone will.
Yeah.
Um, and that's Sophie.
So on a system, Sophie, how much you're spending on your person.
Um, I'm really excited about the Secret Santa.
Same.
So when will we exchange gifts?
The last show of the year, which is Friday the 20th.
And from Monday the 16th, every show that week is a video show on YouTube
for the whole week.
So you'll be able to watch it.
We're thinking about decorating this studio a little bit, making it a bit
Christmassy, which is fun.
Um,
I have a request.
Oh, Oh, is this a gift request for whoever has you?
No, it's for whoever.
You have?
Uh, when Tony gets a gift, I would like her to keep in mind this little anonymous story from whoever
had her in the Kris Kringle. Okay. Not that I knew who I had before two minutes ago. No. But I just
would like, the Secret Santa would like Tony to know that the intentions were great. And I don't want you, they don't want you to judge like the output, but I want you,
they want you to judge like the intention and the effort and the, and just like the
heart that went into it.
Last year you bought me an extension cord.
So for a bar fridge, which you now have. You're welcome.
That I bought.
Got all the limit.
You have a beautiful, and what else did I get you?
The ducky spoon that costs $6 off eBay.
Ah, it was slightly more than that.
$11 on eBay.
Not a lot more.
Yeah.
But so, but this time, yeah, I've, or whoever has gone, you know what? Tony deserves more than that. Yeah. Yeah. But so, but this time, yeah, I've, whoever has gone, you know what? Tony
deserves more than that. Okay. And I've tried, someone's tried to like personally, and I'm
not, they're not a craftsman like you are, but they've tried. This is giving me a fucking
hernia. They've tried their best and I just want you to appreciate that they've given
it a crack. Mate, I know that you're going to try your best like you always do.
Thank you.
I've also tried my best.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
No, but you actually do and you're a skillful, crafty and thoughtful gift giver.
Well, this isn't craft, but my things for you is not crafty.
For whoever I've got is crafty.
Yeah, but the thing for you might be is what I'm saying.
Oh.
And what? No, that's exactly what I don't want.
Oh, okay.
Also, does, do any tarpers have any skills that might be helpful?
The other thing that I would like to bring up is that not last year, but the
year before, both things that you gave me were gift vouchers.
We don't do that anymore.
And we've said that we don't do that anymore.
And we've said that we don't do that anymore.
We don't do that anymore because it is a, then you have to go shopping.
Yeah.
And so we don't buy each other tickets anymore.
We don't buy it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But the other thing is, is that it's nice to unwrap something, isn't it?
It is.
Like the, the.
Opening an email with an attachment to a thing.
It just doesn't hit right.
Yeah.
Okay. Um, no, but I think it an attachment to a thing. It just doesn't hit right. Okay.
Um, no, but I think it's going to be perfect.
Sophie, do you have any ideas what you might get the person that you got?
Well, I was just going to ask if you can't give gift vouchers, can you give cash?
Uh, well I have to check with the judges on that one.
Did you hear that?
We said the limit was 30, not 300?
Yeah, but sometimes people go over.
I didn't say currency.
A slip of the zero.
That could end you up on a totally different plane on a Saturday night.
Any other questions before we move on?
No, I feel good about that.
I'm really excited.
Locked and loaded.
I've got to love to see it.
I watched Taken with Liam Neeson for the first time
ever last night. Oh, I've never seen it. It's so good. Is it? Yeah. See, when you say you haven't
seen it, I just thought it was like memes. Like I've seen the meme. Oh, yeah. Like the particular
set of skills and stuff. And I don't know if I just like, it's an entire film. Well, yeah.
And it fucking rules. I believe there's three of them. Well yeah. And it fucking rules.
I believe there's three of them and they're all the same story.
Yeah, yep.
It's not a skip, it's not a bit.
It is a full movie.
And I don't know if people are aware of this but it fucking rules and you should watch it.
The whole movie, fuck me right up.
I've never, like I've seen a lot of movies and a lot of like old school James Bond films
and action movies.
I, and I'm sure there's a website,
so fucking at me or whatever.
I don't think there's another movie
where one character kills more people with his bare hands.
Like he just fucking dominates.
Why did you say there was probably a website about that?
Well, there's probably a website.
I'm assuming there's probably a website.
I'm assuming there's some dumb website that's like
moviekilllist.com and it ranks the fucking action here.
Actually.
Don't Google that.
Sophie, can you Google that?
No, Sophie redacted.
No, because you- Don't Google that.
You've poo-pooed that it probably exists.
I'm not for it. No.
I'm just- I was asking what you meant
the website might be.
Because you're like,
oh, there's probably a website somewhere,
but I think this might be the highest.
And I thought you meant there's a website
where people are just killing people with their bare hands.
Am I putting it online?
Is what I thought you meant.
Yeah, fightclub.com.
I'm, oh, oh.
Oh my God.
Sophie, is there a website?
It needs to be with their bare hands.
So I mean, I'm getting like Thanos from Marvel,
which is like a whole different thing.
Yeah, he's not real.
Feels like half the world.
Hang on, most humans with.
Oh, just kill, just kills.
Well, yeah, then it's, yeah,
it's gonna be one of those Marvel people.
Hannibal Lecter.
Oh yeah.
Wow, 10, hang on this guy.
Oh, nope, this is a real-
Okay, okay.
Sophie, is it the dark one?
No, no, no, no, no.
Okay, yep, great.
Good, you love to see it.
Ended a bit strange.
Yeah, I think Sophie's mind is elsewhere.
Well, now my bloody Google history is compromised.
I told you not to Google it. Didn't I? Yes, now my buddy Google history is compromised. I told you not to Google it.
Didn't I?
Yes, you did.
You should have used an incognito tab.
Yes, I should have.
I don't really know what that means.
Oh, yeah, you do.
No, I actually don't.
Anyway, that's a great, you love to see it.
I haven't seen that movie.
So is that an official recommendation?
I think so.
And because you have seen the,
I've got a particular set of skits.
Like when that came on, I was just cheering because I was like, fuck yeah.
Yeah.
I get it.
I've seen this and I was cheering at the screen.
That's good.
Yeah.
In your house.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Fridja was just shaking her head like, what a loser.
And then I found out there's two more movies.
So you know what I'm doing it tonight and tomorrow night.
Oh, guess what Ryan might be getting for Secret Santa. Taken memorabilia.
I got a Jimny shirt last year, which I love. I might wear that tomorrow.
Yeah. Where is it?
It's hanging up in the cupboard.
Oh, with your reject clothes that you keep at the office.
This Friday in the video show, I'll be wearing a Jimny t-shirt.
My love to see it is actually kind of similar.
You've seen Liam Neeson?
I love Wicked.
I watched Wicked.
I'd never ever seen the musical before and I love musical theatre.
So I'm very in the world, but I'd never seen Wicked before.
And I watched the movie and I am absolutely in love.
I haven't stopped singing it, talking about it,
thinking about it, crying about it since seeing it.
I am absolutely in love.
And I think I'm gonna quit my job
and become a Broadway theater star
because I'm just, it's a life that I need to live, I think.
Well, we'll miss you around here,
but as someone who has also starred in Wicked
I fully support it and I get it. Yeah. It is amazing and
true or false did you when you arrived this morning
not get out of your car straight away but you had to finish singing the ballad
that was playing from the Wicked soundtrack in your car before you got
out of the car and walked upstairs to the studio?
Not to at anyone but but that did happen.
And I'd rewound it about five times as well.
Really?
Yeah, defying gravity.
Now, and away from the...
I can really hit it as well.
I've like really perfected it.
Gone?
No.
No.
Gone?
No.
We're here for you.
No.
We're so supportive.
I know you are.
No, but that's okay.
That's just for me.
Okay. I'm my kya. My kya. My kya. My kya. My kya. Now, away from the musical theaterness. Yep.
Away from, you know, the fan culture, Ariana Grande, all the hype. Yep. When you strip it right back,
is it like a really great movie? Yeah. There is Oscar buzz.
Well, I think it is.
I think it's a really wonderful performance, but I know that there are people probably
that are like wicked purists that have seen the show a lot of time.
But because this is my first like foray into wicked, I don't have anything to compare it
to the production design and the set and everything
is incredible.
Yeah, I've heard it's unreal.
And they did like everything with real effects.
It's not CGI, a lot of it.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Which is really amazing.
So from that perspective,
I think it's like a really well-made movie.
I think it was like directed really well.
The casting's great.
Yeah, cause I saw this guy who's like a movie buff.
Yep.
And he's like, it's two hours and 47 minutes
and it's only part one.
And people are saying like, it's going to be better
than Citizen Kane and B of MMM.
And then it cuts to him in the cinema at the end.
And he's crying.
He's bawling his eyes out.
And I'm like, oh.
And he's like, it's amazing.
Yeah, I actually watched the same reel.
Torb sent it to me yesterday, actually.
But it's like, every person in the cinema I was in was just bawling their eyes out.
Were you crying?
Yeah. Torb's too.
Like, just it was unreal.
And I think as well, I went into it not knowing how long it was,
and not knowing it was only part one.
So that would have killed you if you had it known in advance. I went into it not knowing how long it was, and not knowing it was only part one. So I look-
That would have killed you if you hadn't known in advance.
Well, but I'm sitting in the seat,
it's about to start and I look at the ticket
and the session started at 8.30 and it's like,
and it will be done at 11.30.
And I was like, what the fuck?
I'm like, I was like, Alex, is this movie three hours long?
And he was like, fuck, I didn't know.
Yeah, I'm a single digit girlie.
I need to get a bit of it. This is not't know. I'm like, oh my God. I'm a single digit girlie.
I need to get a bit of it.
This is not for me.
I'm like a 90 minutes max.
Yeah.
And then the movie starts
and the title screen is like, wicked part one.
And I look at Torbz, I'm like,
guys, for three hours, it's only part one?
But it could have been longer.
Like literally by the time it finished,
I was like, that's gone by so fast.
Like I could not believe it. I absolutely loved it.
So hard recommend, but also like I think I'm going to sort the Wicked show
has just flown to Perth because they're doing the rounds and Oz.
Yeah.
I think I'm going to have to go and watch it to see the end of it.
I don't think I can wait.
I don't think I can wait a year until the second one comes out. I think I'm going to
have to go and see it. I'm like hanging out to find out what happens. Well, if you have to go
to God's country, it's a great reason to go. Twist my arm, pull my finger. See y'alls in West Os.
Yeah. You know, anyway, absolutely amazing. So if you haven't watched it, it's very good.
Beautiful.
Yeah.
Chat to you tomorrow.
Love you, bye.
Wicked and taken.
Yeah, different ends of the...
