Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Author Tony Lodge. Hello! The person approving today in Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. Alberta, Canada. Home of the Oilers. I said that a while back. I don't know if it's true. I assume you did. Yeah, we keep saying it, but... It is. I'm out of back... I know what I'm talking about. Yeah, you're good.

This name sounds like a fake name because it just rolls off the tongue a little too well. Okay. We're about to call Christy Mingo. Oh, Christy Mingo. Oh, we talk to her on uh i talk to her on patreon all the time pretty sure every time i look at it i make the joke like christian mingle like the dating website hello christy hey how are you guys we're well christy how are you what are you up to just hanging out with my cat and waiting for you guys to call.

Very Taylor Swift. Yeah, now apparently we're not the only call you're expecting today. Is that true or false? That is true. Christy said, if I don't answer my phone, please try and call back because I'm also waiting a call from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police regarding a scam and a wedding caterer. What?

Yeah, we got married on Sunday. Congratulations. Congratulations. That's huge. Thank you. It was, the ceremony was beautiful and everything was great. And then the bartenders didn't show up and the caterer had a bunch of excuses. And it's kind of a long story, but, yeah,

we're just kind of seeing what we can do for retribution. Crazy. So what happened at the reception? Did you just not have any food and drink? What happened? We had pizza hut and dessert. That actually sounds awesome. If I went to a wedding and they gave me pizza hut, I'd go, well, go well fuck yeah congratulations let me put a bit more money in the envelope you know that's great no i would have just done that by myself anyway yeah that's so funny no she um they didn't show up i

would say they were about two hours late and in the interim people had been drinking so obviously we had to feed them something and we were an hour away from civilization so they put in orders people rallied and like went and got the pizza came back we hoped the food would arrive it didn't so we ordered more pizza now hopefully you can get your money back from the caterers who seem to have done an awful awful terrible however the camaraderie and everyone getting around it. It's a great story. It warms the heart a little bit.

It does. Yeah. I'm really glad everyone had a good time. Yeah. We won't keep you from the police then. Yeah. It's fine. I've been looking forward to talking to you guys for so long.

Us too, honestly. Also, can we just make a joke that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are like, that's what they're called. Mounties. That's what they call them. Yeah. It's like my wedding caterer did a run and I'm like, fuck, hang on a sec, mate. Let me grab my horse.

Let me call the Mounties. It's funny that that's the police for you because that's what I call Saturday at my house. The Mounties. It's funny that that's the police for you because that's what I call Saturday at my house. The Mounties. Yeah. Sorry to anyone listening. Will you approve today's episode? Sorry to Tony's neighbours.

Shed wallets. Just a gif of us. I will. Yay! Thank you. And congrats on your wedding. Yay! Congrats.

Hey, it's Christy from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and I approve this podcast. Yay! Thank you. And congrats on your wedding. Yay! Yeah, congrats. Hey, it's Christy from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and I approve this podcast. All right, coming up today, I've received feedback from my wife. Oh, no. Yep. Oh, no, that's good. I saw your brain working in real time there.

Is it good feedback or is it, what do they say, constructive feedback? Both can be good though. Yep. Sounds good. And things are. Both can be good though. Yep. Oh, sounds good. And things are pretty good at home. Great. If you need a place to stay, mate, you're always welcome. No need to worry.

And I will take you up on that. At Kathy Bates' Airbnb, there's always room for you. Always room. I'll just sleep on that couch. Delicious couch in front of the fire. It is good. Yeah. Me and Brutal hanging out there.

But first, let's do these are top confessions. Thanks for sending through your top confessions, tonyandryan.com.au, where you can send through your annoyingly anonymous confessions. Yeah, we can't track you down after. No. If you do want to email us, hello at tonyandryan.com.au. But they aren't anonymous.

They aren't anonymous. But if you want to get in touch, yeah, we can see your email address. You can still message us and say keep me anonymous but I'll know who you are. Used to be common for lads on the work site to Snapchat each other all the time. Yeah. And just, yeah, all tradies, I guess, they're just like

you got your phone in your pocket. That was until one time an apprentice snapped us a pic of his fully erect dick. I opened the first snap and it was a video of his cat. Cool. Oh, pussy and cock. Sorry.

The second one I opened, however, I think was intended for his girlfriend. I was so shocked I quickly look away as it was staring me in the eye and i asked myself what have i seen what have i done have i have i clicked on the wrong thing then i get a bunch of messages do not open that i'm sorry don't open that please delete i'm sorry don't open i arrived at work that day and just decided to pretend like nothing had happened because this was a young apprentice. He was kind of new to the team.

Just be like, don't make it weird. People send nudes. It's fine. I pretended like nothing happened. He pretended like nothing happened. Beautiful. But it was kind of weird. Oh.

There was zero eye contact and I think he blocked me on Snapchat. By the end of the week, I couldn't help myself any longer. I ended up venting to another colleague, one of the girls, because she's like, I just need to tell something. Yeah. He goes. But also like should I say something to him or do I leave it? He goes, oh, so-and-so hasn't looked me in the eye all week

because he sent me a dick pic the other day and I haven't brought it up. He hasn't brought it up and it's just so awkward at work. Yeah. And she, the other girl on the work site goes, he's actually come and spoken to me. And he goes, I feel really awkward because I sent him a picture of my dick and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Oh, fuck.

And so you're both feeling the same. And then he goes, yeah, like he blocked me. And she laughed and said, yeah, the other guy said I blocked him because I thought that would delete all previous messages and just like, because if you, heaven forbid, you'd send that to the wrong person, I would be like, delete contacts, throw phone into ocean, rip SIM card out, but like what just. Cut on, head off.

Yeah, exactly. All those things, all those things, all those card out. But like what just. Cut my head off. Yeah, exactly. All those things. All those things. Fast forward a year later. No. He was moving interstate. Thank fucking God. Should have left earlier.

Yeah. 12 months too late. From the East Coast to Adelaide. And on his last day of work, he said, oh, I have a confession for you. I have something I need to tell you. And the guy who's written into us, the tarpa, goes, I'll actually stop you right there. You don't need to confess because I know I saw it.

Because I think he was going to go, oh, I accidentally sent you this. That was a dick pic. Yeah. He goes, I know. I saw it. It was hard. It was huge. Good for you.

All the best with the move the look on his face was priceless because then he realised that I knew the whole you know because he thought he might have gotten away with it oh right

but why would you be awkward about it if you thought you'd gotten away with it I thought you were about to be like the tapper said look yeah I saw your car it was huge good for you whatever and he goes oh I was just going to, look, yeah, I saw your car. It was huge, good for you, whatever. And he goes, oh, I was just going to say, like, do you want to move your car because I've got to get my car out of here.

I've got to drive to Adelaide and your car's mine. Yeah, oh, you don't mind. Move the highlights, man. Come on. Yeah. Chop, chop. All right, confession number two. Have you ever, sorry to interrupt,

but have you ever sent a nude to the wrong person? Like has it ever gone, oh, what's that face? have you ever sorry to interrupt but have you ever sent a nude to the wrong person like has ever gone oh what's that face oh that's a i've sent a nude to the wrong person face maybe this needs its own week of episodes i was about to say this needs its own area i've i've been catfished. What? I've been, like, I've exchanged photos with someone. I don't think it was them. Yeah.

Was it Robert Pattinson? Because he's gotten me before. Nah, I reckon that someone has just found this random girl online and saved all her photos, implied it was her, and has struck up a friendship with poor old Ryan. Where on the dolly did you send? I wouldn't say a relationship, but there was back and forth DMs for ages. You were like talking to each other. Yeah, like dot comrades.

Yeah. How much of your body did she see or they see? We don't know who this person was. Probably all two and a half inches of it. All of it. Yeah, right. I sent a nude to my lawyer that time. Remember?

That was nice. Yeah. Yeah, while we were in the USA. Yeah, whenever they'd send me a pic, it was always like the same pic. You know, and it's like, oh, do a different angle. No, I like this one. I go, okay, must be cute. I think that when it comes to getting catfished yeah this is early internet days so was mine with robert pattinson yeah but yeah okay on some level when you're getting

catfished i feel like you know that it's probably like because you kind of go because there's red flags you ignore. Oh, send me a different angle. And they go, no. And you go, okay. So I didn't know until I knew if that made sense. Yeah. Because they lived in my town apparently in Toowoomba. So they would listen to the radio.

So it wasn't like a far away over set. Like they lived in the town. Yeah. And they were just pretending to be a younger hot girl that lived in the town. And they're like, oh, I heard on the show you mentioned this. And I was like, oh, okay, yeah. Do you know who, did you ever find out who it was?

No. Because then when I, like all of a sudden I went. That's not her. Yeah. And I basically called them out and I was like, I don't think you're this person. If you are, like prove it. Like write it's me on a piece of paper and take a selfie.

Yeah. And they're like, oh, the fact that you don't trust. And you go, okay. Yeah. Oh, the fact that you made me do that is like, you don't trust me. And I'm like, well, just do it. If you would do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. And I just went, I never spoke to him again. But like, as soon as I realized, and it was, I don't think I had that denial phase. It's like, as soon as something twigged, I was like, hang had that denial phase it's like as soon as something tweaked i was like hang on do what was your and send those photos my dick back well that's what i was about to say like how did that make you feel that you go oh i've sent pictures of myself to someone who i didn't give a fuck about the photos i was just like that's a lot of effort from you to like do that to me oh no no it's just more like i thought i was getting my dick sucked here, but obviously I'm not.

Because you put hours into that. Well, there was times when I was like, we're going to hang out on Saturday. And then, you know, something came up or whatever, you know. Things are always coming up when you're getting catfished, isn't it? Yeah. Oh, no, I can't video chat today because X, Y, Z. There's always something. And then I kind of went, oh, of course. And then when you go, oh, oh, oh, I'm such a fuckhead.

It's embarrassing. Like, you feel. I was just, like, disappointed because I thought I was going to be dicks. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to have to find someone else. I'm keen. If you want. Hey, it's Christy from Edmonton, Canada,

and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. Yeah. Hey, it's Christy from Edmonton, Canada, and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout-out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon. Kayla Glenn. Good on you, Kayla. Thanks, Kayla. Absolutely love to see it. Blake Taylor, Michael Perry, Christopher McGrath, Emily Abbott, and Mia Palmer.

Oh, Mrs. Palmer. Yeah, or it's Parmy if you're in Adelaide. Oh, I love a parmigiana. Remember the first time we had a parma together? Oh, and I got the eggplant one. An eggplant can be delicious, but it wasn't cooked well. Yeah. It was terrible. It was like a slimy old snail yeah this can't go this can't go fuck myself yeah high five no joke from me anyway uh any other catfish questions uh i think i need a bit of time to digest the catfish if you know what i'm saying. Yeah, it's a dry fish.

Yeah, whiskers and all. Put your questions in today's episode thread in the Tony and Ryan Facebook group and then maybe once we've, like, taken a deep breath, we can go through the questions and, like, dig deep. It's also, it's trauma, so it's going to take a little while for us to get through it because, you know, Ryan got catfished and someone who he doesn't know has got pictures of his dick on their 3315. Now, yeah, and the pixelation doesn't help either.

Oh, no. It's just one pixel. Yeah, a single pixel. See that black dot? Yeah. See that weird beige swerve on there? That's it. Yeah, it's weird and I guess interesting, but it's not,

and this isn't just like me trying to be a fucking guy that has no feelings, but it's like not traumatic isn't just like me trying to be a fucking guy that has no feelings but it's like not traumatic because it just sort of like it was just more like, oh, that's disappointing and I literally like never thought about it. But also because the person never like held it over your head. You imagine though if it had been a different situation. And I hadn't told my friends we're in love. Yeah.

Because when you hear those bad stories, they're really committed, aren't they? Yeah. But they often go on for years and years and they just don't know. So when you say it's traumatic, it's not, which is actually good for this because ask the question and I'll tell you what I reckon. There's no baggage. Catfish cues answered.

Don't feel bad. Just ask away. And if it's you and you're listening. Send them back. Send the nerds back. Just don't send them anywhere. Yeah. Just keep them offline.

Send the nerds back. Just don't send them anywhere. Yeah. Just keep them offline. Can you please give me some like a Shrek trumpet like Lord Farquaad is going to enter the room? Where in the world are Tony and Ryan? Somewhere in the world we are throwing a third birthday party for the third year of our podcast.

We're paying for the food and drinks. Music will be pumping. Everyone is invited. Saturday, the 17th of August, come on down from 2 p.m. local time. All you have to do is find out where we are. Yep. Find out where we are. The first clue is next Monday, August 12th, and there'll be daily clues,

which we'll get, I assume, as the week goes on, it'll paint more of a picture of where that party is. And you figure it out, you come down. You're partying with us. Just don't give us COVID for fuck's sake. Oh, I cannot get COVID again. I'll give you a hug. We'll take a photo.

We'll share a beer. But just fucking do not give me COVID. Please. I'd rather you pretended you were someone else and I sent you my dick than get COVID again. If I were to order things in. If I were to list. In order of preference.

I'd rather get catfished again than get COVID again. I just, I can't get sick again. Yeah. I cannot. I cannot do it. I'm so fucking over being sick. Also, while we're doing some housekeeping, because it is our third birthday

and it means it's the end of a year in tarp land, it also means that we're going to have a new logo as of tomorrow and that logo will not have the Spotify logo because we are back to being independent, baby. So does that sound a bit too... It's actually not really that exciting. It just means different people sell their ads. Yeah.

So – And it's not a different – like the podcast art is the same. It just doesn't have the thing in the corner. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. But it's not a different – like it will all look the same. And for all purposes of you listening, it will be the exact same experience. You can follow us on Spotify, Apple, wherever you get your pods.

Yep. But it does mean, logistics chat, that we won't be here for the rest of the week. Yep. So Wednesday, Thursday, Friday we're off. We're back on Monday. Apparently when you – now, Tony – I can't fucking –

Audio Queensland has to deal with this shit. Yeah. Apparently we have to take our feed from out of Spotify's backend and put it into Acast's backend. And Acast love it when we put it in their backend. So they're like, please. They're really all for it. Spotify are sad to see us go out of their backend though.

You know, it's all mutual. What do they say? Like a mutual breakup. It's all good terms. We've left a gaping hole in Spotify's portfolio. In their backend. Yeah. But we will still be on the Spotify app.

But if you want to buy ads, you now buy them from ACAST instead of Spotify. So if you tap as that listing that might want to buy an ad, don't email Spotify anymore. Yeah, email someone else. Email ACAST. So we're going to take the rest of the week to do the technical shit. Technical chat. Moving it over.

Can't post while that's happening, which is not a problem for people that only post once a week if you know what i'm saying not us so don't be for us hard working people yeah you know big big us hard working we're slogging it out over here yeah um but yeah so there's no episode wednesday thursday friday we're back monday august 12th with our first clue for the birthday party you can find us for the birthday party. The thing about clues, and you're going to discover this next week and I'm already a bit angry.

Not angry, just frustrated. Tony seems to have an issue with knowing the difference between clues and riddles. There's no problem at all? Well, there is a problem because they are like very separate things. No, because the riddle, the answer to the riddle is the clue and that's what we're doing. So Tony's like, I'll do a clue.

How about this? And I'm speaking in fucking shit because I'm trying not to give away the answer. Because you can't give it away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But Tony will say the clue is this and I go, that has nothing to do with the location. You go, yeah, because that person was in a movie with them and then they filmed it.

Hang on, no, you're giving away my. Methods. Yeah. But it's so. It's far. It's good. It's very good. They're not clues.

They're riddles. Yeah. So what then say, okay, hang on. Like, because obviously we. Okay, that couch. Yep. Say that That couch. Yep. Say that couch is the answer. I would say as a clue somewhere you sit.

That is not a clue. That is the answer. And Tony would go, oh, I've got a clue. Healesville. No, I'd probably do potato. Okay. Here we go. Why potato? Couch potato. That's I'd probably do potato. Okay, here we go. Why potato?

Couch potato. That's closer. That's closer. I thought you'd go Healesville because that's where Four Pillars is and some people have lemon in a gin and tonic which is made by Four Pillars and the colour of the couch is sort of lemony. No, I'd go Greg. Greg.

Greg. Why Greg? Greg. Greg. No? Greg. No? Greg from the Wiggles. The yellow wiggle. Yellow couch.

See, I think the clues need to be clues. They don't need to be riddles. But a clue is too easy. Well, there's easy and hard clues, but if you make them all riddles, then you're going to be that bitch at your 21st with no one at the party. Good, I'll eat all the food by myself. I'm a lot more resilient these days. But maybe that's why we're taking three days off,

not because of the technical changeover. Because we're having words about the clues. Tony and I are locked in a room and we're not coming out until we've got clues that make sense that can give Tarpis a chance to get to this party. But one of the ones that was your idea was like Ridley. I think mine was this means that. It wasn't this means that means that means that means that.

No, I think that's more fun. Fun, yes. People finding the party and coming to it, no. See? Well, I agree. That's more fun. Fun, yes. People finding the party and coming to it, no. Oh. See? Well, I agree. I actually, for something else, agree that it's fun. You know when Jason Peejay did the riddle?

Yeah. Fun. But people weren't coming to the party. You know what I mean? We want people to get it. Or do you not want people to come? I just think that my clues are good. They were great. A little too great.

They're just too hard? They're too good. Or they're just not the right area? Because I just don't think I get really the, like. I think it's easy for you because you know the answer. Yeah. I actually think it's a creative strength that you can take something. God, you're really turning this around.

And find a way. It's like comedically. And comedically and creatively. Can you find a way to relate this to that? And you go, yeah, let me take you down this path. Because the clue you gave, I went down like a crazy wormhole and I was like, got it solved. And you're like, oh, no, that's not it.

But again, because you knew the answer. Yeah. You think anywhere in the world at a party I really want to go to, like it would be pretty hard to guess. Keep in mind that it's about people guessing, not about you being the quiz master. I know everything is about you. Then I'm not interested.

I know the main character is the main character is the main character. So, okay, question. Question. If then it's clues that are simpler, so say like maybe at the beginning of the week it's a bit hard to guess like. Rhymes with smell-o-rat. Yeah, right. But like say at the beginning of the week it's like hard to guess

that it's in Australia or something, for example, and then it's like, oh, and then there's a hard one to like see if you can guess the town or the city or the island or the whatever. Like you get like zooming closer and closer. Does that mean that we never ever post the answer? We just then give the clues that are like zoom in further and further to the actual location? I think you can zoom in, but I think also over the week

you put all the clues together. But that's what I mean. So do we never actually say, oh, it's at the Coles in Richmond at 1pm? You have to find it. So if it was Coles, you go like, oh, not Woolworths or whatever. Well, everywhere is not Woolworths really when you think about it except Woolworths.

Isn't that beautiful? But like do you never actually say it's at Coles at 1pm? You have to figure it out with the clues. I thought that at the end of it you just gave it away. Oh, this is so much more fun. Oh, my God. Because I was like, well, the clues have to be hard but now they don't because you never get the answer there might be some people that go to the wrong place yes oh that is thrilling isn't it maybe we set up a decoy

location and just have a camera there and on top of the camera it says, wrong. Do you now see where I went, like what I was thinking? You never do. I don't take, I can't take that on. Yeah, that's fair. I actually can't take that on because I could spend 28 hours a day going, how did Tony get to that? It's not worth, I've decided, I've made a strategic, I've set a boundary. Yep.

No, that's fine. Guys, my wife. But you get what I mean. My wife. Do you get what I mean? No, I get it. Yeah. I just. Yeah, you can't take it on. That's fine. Guys, my wife. But you get what I mean. My wife. Do you get what I mean? No, I get it. I just. Yeah, you can't take it on.

That's fine. I'm excited now. What a thrill. I can't believe that we don't actually post where it is. That's so fun. I thought that at the end we had to give it away, but the fact that no one actually ends up like just going, oh, it's at Coles.

Could we ask people to send in them going to the wrong place if they get it wrong at 2 p.m on saturday yeah not this saturday when the party starts take a selfie where are you because if i can't see you you're not in the right spot yeah they've all gone to the goals in richmond you said not woolworth yeah and here i am at woolworth like a sucker oh my god The one place they guaranteed it wouldn't be. I thought it was at Professor Psychology. Okay. All right.

Life brainstorm. Everything's in play. That's what I've heard. My wife has given me some feedback. Who? My wife. My wife has given me some feedback about the use of fingers and it's been awkward at home ever since.

Oh, that's given me a little chill. She said one finger is actually enough. When you do four fingers or the whole hand, it's actually a bit, it's uncomfortable and I don't like it. I have to agree because whenever you do four fingers or the whole hand, it's actually a bit uncomfortable and I don't like it. I have to agree because whenever you do four fingers for me, it's too much. I'm so tiny. So there's this skinny road on the way to our house.

Yeah. Yeah, there is. No, I'm like putting myself in the thing. This is the clues. I'm putting myself into the thing. Yeah, it is. No, I'm like putting myself in the thing. This is the clues. I'm putting myself into the thing. Yeah, it is narrow. So there's one specific spot where it's a two-way street but only one car can get through at once.

You know, I was driving down there once and this woman was walking her dog and like she wouldn't get off the road. Oh, yeah, get off the road. Well, it's not really a footpath either. It's hard for her. No, but like you can't. off the road. Oh, yeah, get off the – well, it's not really a footpath either. It's hard for her. No, but like you can't – What did you call me? What am I?

But like who has right of way in that situation? Because if you don't get out of the way, I'll hit you. Who's got the right of way? Me or Jenny's dog? Yeah, like see you, Jenny, at the funeral, you know? Anyway. So there's this skinny bit of, like it gets skinnier and only one car can get through but it's a two-way street

so we all have to be patient and polite and let each other through. And so when someone lets me through, I'll give them the whole hand. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or a four-finger-off-the-wheel kind of number. Oh. And Bridget will be sitting in the passenger seat, passenger princess, just like cringing and wishing she would die and she's like, no, one finger's enough.

What do I do? No, I do a whole hand. I lift. No. Give me a whole. No. We're high-fiving and Tony didn't like it. But we are hand brothers.

Well, normally we're finger sisters. I actually do a whole wave off the steering wheel. I don't just lift a finger or lift my finger. I'll go through and I go, cheers, mate. I actually often say cheers, mate. I'll go cheers, mate. I'll put a full hand and I think you're doing it naturally, a slight bow. Yeah.

Do a little bit of a tilt and you do it and they can't hear you. But you got cheers, mate. They can feel it. Yes. Appreciate it. Cheers, mate. I also like saying appreciate with no A. Appreciate it.

Appreciate. Appreciate it. Appreciate it, mate. Yeah, appreciate it, mate. Appreciate it, mate. Yeah, appreciate it, mate. And Bridget wants to die. Yeah, good on you, mate. Yeah, appreciate it, mate. Appreciate it, mate. Yeah, appreciate it, mate. And Bridget wants to die. Yeah, good on you, mate.

Is she a rude bitch for one fingering guys? One finger I just think is like, it just doesn't seem friendly. Do you give a fuck or not? It doesn't seem friendly to me. The same way that if like someone lets me in or whatever, I'll do a full hand in the middle. You ever do that? Oh, thank you.

Oh, so they can see. Yeah, cheers. And you've got to put it between like the two headrests, thank you. Oh, so they can see. Yeah, cheers. And you've got to put it between like the two headrests of the seat. Yeah, so there's light on the other side. Yes. Familiar. Yeah. But you've got to do the whole thing and it's a full rotation of the body.

It's actually quite athletic. Cheers. Do you know what I mean? You've got to put your whole fucking body into it. I love that we're in the Olympics and here we are talking about our athletic prowess, which is cutting people off and then raising your hand to pretend like they let it happen. This is actually my circuit is this.

Yeah. I walked up this really steep hill the other day. Oh, you're joking. What were you doing that for? You call me next time and I'll come pick you up. Yeah, me and BJ went for a walk and we went down this because it's a beautiful street on the way down, but then you've got to go back up.

Yeah, you hoof it back up. So the thing about hills, right? Yeah. So, and I walked, and I was like a bit stiff in the Achilles and the calf when I got home because I was like, fuck, that hill really like. It's that real steep. And we're sitting there watching the Olympics and Bridge goes,

should we tell those guys to pause while you tell me about your sore legs from walking up a hill? Yeah. Oh, did you want to take a break before you watch the sport? Do you need to have a bit of a stretch before you keep going? You know what's really disappointing? Bruno, who is the setter for Brazil in the volleyball, is older than me. Yeah, right.

And I feel like I'm 20 years gone and this bloke is older than me, still like getting around. But other people, that's their journey. That's just not your journey. My journey is walking up a hill with a dog. And that's fine. And I've pulled up rougher than he has from a five-setter against Japan. Yeah, but is he training for that?

You haven't been doing your circuit. Yeah. Yep, you're right. You've got to do your training. I know my strengths and that's full fisting blokes on Nyora Road. And I have always said that. Yeah, you have. You absolutely have.

All right. We are not here Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, as we said. Just letting you know. We're moving over in the back end from Spotify to Acast. So you'll still be able to listen to old episodes. Like everything will still be like listenable. There's no new ones for three days. There just won't be any new ones.

Exactly right. The Olympics are on, so don't let me tell you what to do. Well, we thought you'd enjoy the week off. You have the week. Do you know what I mean? Have the week off. Before we go, though, and clues when we get back on Monday. Maybe riddles.

Maybe riddles. Yeah, fuck. Maybe riddles. Who knows? Maybe we could have half each. Maybe I get two riddles and you get three clues. I'll take the L. I'll take the two. But I think

I should. Or okay, idea. Every day you get a clue from Ryan but a riddle from me. Like then there's two sets. We've got three days to workshop. Let's use them. Let's use them. That is Ryan's polite wife saying no. I've got three days to workshop. Let's use them. Let's use them.

That is Ryan's polite way of saying no. I've got to love to see it. Fruit Loops. Oh, yeah. God cereal. Thank you. Thank you for clapping. God's cock ring.

The cock, well, small gods, but a cock ring nonetheless. I do remember, though, Fruit Loops being much better as a kid. They were way crunchier, a bit more sugary. The colours were really bright. And more flavoursome. Yeah. So we got some Fruit Loops to make them schmolympic rings for like a crafting thing.

Yeah. And then I like ate a couple. Yeah. And I went, oh. I was there. A lot of milk went around. I think I'm still finding Fruit Loops on the ground. Don't let the dogs in the office for a while because there are Fruit Loops everywhere.

I did say that because then when the dogs came in, I was like, I know that Ryan's dropped heaps of food over there. But I haven't had Fruit Loops in 20 years and fuck, they are just delicious. And do you know where that box went? Of Fruit Loops? Yeah. I'm guessing it's in their kitchen. Incorrect, it's disappeared.

Oh no, it all got dropped on the floor. It disappeared over the last week. Here's a riddle to find the Froot Loops. Ryan ate them. Here's the riddle. Ryan bowl, milk, spoon. See, riddles can be fun. They can be fun.

Tony Lodge, what do you like to see? That's amazing. I want to end our Tony and Ryan week on a real high here from Caitlin. On Tuesday morning. Oh, it's been a tough one, guys. Just as I fucking paid everyone out before being like, oh, don't you post every day? For the past four years, says Caitlin,

I've been in a job that I fucking hated with a super micromanaging boss that didn't make me feel valued. I was living in Toronto feeling really overworked and underpaid, really burnt out, and it was affecting my mental health. Last October, Caitlin left that job and finally found a job on the other side of the country in the field that she wanted to work in and got an offer on her 30th birthday. Fuck yeah.

So like kismet, like meant to be. Now I live in the same city as my sister, brother-in-law and niece, have a job that I like with a higher salary and a nicer apartment. It can be scary to change, but my mental health is so much better now. I've been wanting to share this for a while because the type community is so supportive and affirming and I'm really proud of myself. Well, I'm proud of you. Caitlin.

Get around it. Huge. Good work, Caitlin. Ryan and I have both talked about times that we left shitty jobs that just fucking were killing us from the inside out. Yeah. And no one is a bigger advocate than us for the excitement of going like, you know what?

Fuck you. Fuck you. Rip the cord. Do the thing. And, like, you'll be? Fuck you. Fuck you. Rip the cord. Do the thing. And like you'll be okay. I got your back. We got your back. There's 120,000 in the Tony and Ryan Facebook podcast group

that's on Facebook. Yeah. That's got your back. My God. And some of them can talk. One of that's a clue. But thank you, Caitlin. Is the party the speech pathologist?

The party's at 1-3-double-0-6-double-5-0-6. That's the reading and writing hotline. That's that. Why has that come up in conversation so many times? We talked about it the other day. It was in the office? Because it was like, what do you call them and what do they do? Oh, that's right.

We were like, oh, do they send someone over or do they – anyway, it doesn't matter. That's why I call them from a cafe and go, what's on the menu today? No, that's the – you're getting confused. No, you're getting that confused with the app Be My Eyes. And the person on the other end of – what's the number again? 1-3-double-0-6-double-5-0-6. They go, yeah, Parmigiana looks good.

And we'll get a sort of coffee. And you go, I'm at the doctor. I'm at the doctor surgery. Yeah, Dr. Parmigiana is a specialty in your field. I'm at the doctor Parmigiana. Thank you, Caitlin, for sending that through. That's awesome, Caitlin. Have an amazing end of your week.

Fucking binge the Olympics. Do whatever you need to do. But we'll be back on Monday with our first riddle slash clue, workshopping it over the next couple of days. Fucking hell. No bloating secrets. No. Love you, bye.

Six, triple five, oh six. That's a clue. That's a riddle.
