Felt better straight away. So anyway, let me ring that up. Dollars. I'm Marissa from Buffalo, New York.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I'm Hindara from O'Teuroa. I'm Vanessa from Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. And I approve this podcast. It's a brand new week. It's a brand new week at Top Tower, but we're not a Top Tower, right, Tony's House. How long since you've been to the office? Before we went to Canada for our birthday. So I feel like seven years ago?
Starting point is 00:02:45 Yeah. Yeah. Is it crazy that just last month we were in Vancouver having a boat party? You were racing up and down those stairs, we were singing and dancing. Swimming every day. Swimming every day. I haven't been wet. weeks
Starting point is 00:03:00 welcome to the show tarpa Troy has started a discussion which we are going to go through today amazing nah you don't know what this is yet hey no
Starting point is 00:03:14 I just love that after four years here's where we are this is where we've got to welcome to showbiz baby we quit our full-time jobs for this wow first playing at home
Starting point is 00:03:30 and Tony has pointed to her blanket and broken foot. Yeah. What's that little orange thing? That red like a little chili. Oh, it's her, um, one of Pippa's toys. Oh. Oh, yeah, that's fun. I shouldn't have done that.
Starting point is 00:03:43 It's probably working her out. Working the beast. What's the most expensive shit you've ever taken? Mine was in that plane. The other day on the flight. But did you have to pay specifically for the shit? Well, no. I had to go through the comments and because there was a lot of like,
Starting point is 00:04:02 oh, I was at this place and blah, blah, blah. I'm like, no, no, no. I'm talking specifically about taking the shit. Oh, now let me read Troy's story to paint a picture of where we're at. Okay. Our family of poor, our family of four paid $330 to stay the night at this hotel. We got there and the, you know, there's like that earthy, moldy, like. Musty, sir.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Yeah. And so they walk into the. Reuben was like, oh, and then... And there's four of them and... And there was a distressed man in the car park with a beer in one hand and an axe in the other. And they had to look around and said, you know what? Maybe not. Maybe we'll just find somewhere else tonight, you know?
Starting point is 00:04:49 I think that's probably a good call. An axe in the car park's never a great sign. Yeah. The guy at reception was like, look, it's three. p.m. we've held the booking. You can obviously stay wherever you like. It doesn't have to be here, but like, we can't give you a refund, unfortunately. Yeah, and you would probably expect that, right?
Starting point is 00:05:10 So Tarpatroy goes, yeah, fair enough. But we've been driving all day. I'd have eaten some rubbish like, you know, gas station food. Yep. I thought since I paid for the room, I might as well at least go and take a shit in it. Yeah. I think that's fair enough. My son had a crack at it as well.
Starting point is 00:05:31 We're in the room for 10 minutes, took two shits for $330. That's $165 per shit. And then left and had to stay and pay for another hotel. Do you remember in New York City when we were walking to the basketball? Yeah. We were with producer cam and we got my brother there and stuff. So I was walking, I was like, I need the bathroom. I need to go to the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Classic. Classic. and so in New York City I walk in I walk in to some place and was like I'm so sorry can I please use your bathroom
Starting point is 00:06:06 It was that weird dessert place A very weird dessert place And I go And they go It's for customers only And I go Great What's the cheapest thing on the menu
Starting point is 00:06:18 Keeping in mind It's an emergency bathroom situation With a sore tum And they go Well we've got the most Dairy fucking swirl chocolate mix fuck and I'm like do you have a bottle of water and they're like oh yeah but this
Starting point is 00:06:32 other thing and I'm like great just make me that pass me the obnoxiously embarrassingly large key to the bathroom oh yeah it's attached to the rim of a car tire yeah so I go and do my business I'm feeling pretty sheepish and embarrassed people are waiting out the front we're walking to the next game and then they're like here's your fucking weird sloppy chocolate chocolate ice cream thing that costs $17.40 because we're in mid-town. And also, in those situations, you're kind of like, can I go to the bath? I promise I'm not going to leave you. Like, I'll pay.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Have my card. Charge whatever. But yeah, like, I'll give you my phone and like, so collateral. Just let me shit. But please let me go. Yeah. And so I'm having the, did you want the sprinkles or the, can we do this afterwards? And you're like, to be very honest with you, I'm going to throw that in the bin out.
Starting point is 00:07:27 the front. I'm not even going to take it off the counter. Like I'm, yeah, I'm going to pay for it. Whatever you want. Give it to the next person in line. I'll pay for their food and please let me go to the bathroom. I'm about to shit my pants in a fucking dessert dally. And it's not going to be good for anyone. No, especially you. It's going to be really bad. I don't want to be the bad guy, but if I shit on the floor, your job, your shift today is
Starting point is 00:07:48 going to get worse. I didn't say that. But like, it's true though, right? That's a threat. Oh, totally. Yeah. Sabrina Spears, who's a tap-up. Britney Spears and sister Similar situation She goes I ran into a bar And was like
Starting point is 00:08:02 I need She's like Had a big night She's walking home And she's like Oh it's happening She goes in and they go Sorry
Starting point is 00:08:08 Customers only And Sabrina for some reason Goes Okay I'll get a bottle of rum What the most expensive Thing you could possibly Well sometimes
Starting point is 00:08:20 When you get like A rum and coke It's like 10 bucks But a bottle's 35 And she's like Well I'm not Just give me the bottle here's 35 bucks so she goes does that in what place would it be 35 dollars at a bar to get a
Starting point is 00:08:32 bottle of booze because sometimes when they don't have like it's just like oh we buy it for whatever and it's just like no way so she buys a bottle of rum for 35 dollars takes a mad shit and then just walked home drinking from the bottle no that didn't not happen Sabrina spears like the little like the little shot ones no like the ones you get in the middle I paid $35 for a whole bottle of rum, says Sabrina. That's just a great deal. That's a great deal. You should be bragging about how that's a good deal.
Starting point is 00:09:02 I once bought a fireball shot for everyone at a karaoke bar at Benjys. Great. Because we thought we were the only ones at the bar. Because it was like the first night this karaoke bar opened on Ligon Street in the middle of nowhere. Cool. And we just walked past them all like, there's no one in there. We should take it over. I'll buy us a fireball.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Fucking kids all revved up. Yeah. Then this other party walks in. And they're like, oh yeah, I heard it's, um, someone's paying for the fireballs and starts drinking them. And I said, yeah, when I said everyone at the bar, I meant the six friends I'm with who are the only ones here. Yeah, it's not for walking.

Starting point is 00:12:52 Yeah. It's like my foot is Jesus. No, but it's like, I was like, oh, this surgery is going to heal up real good. It's like. I've been blessed. Yeah. Yeah. It's like you're like having.
Starting point is 00:13:05 It's like a christening. Knowing all that it's been through. Now it is the chosen one and it will be healed by God because the sun has just peeked through and hit your ankle and I was like, oh. Maybe my foot starts floating up to heaven. and I'm just like hanging on the bottom Like that's being lifted but I'm like That's a very funny visual

Starting point is 00:14:19 Yeah Well, it's been a really great segment that we've introduced recently that isn't normal on a hot take Tony I've really enjoyed it We've talked about brides
Starting point is 00:14:32 We've talked about kissing Julie Andrews We've made costumes Make costumes Which are on high age just at the moment I feel like Should I bring them in? Charles has offered
Starting point is 00:14:42 Now you've also offered Maybe we should just bring them in Yeah It's as if the place that we work isn't seven minutes from here and I'll drive past on the way. What I will say is I think that there was a bit of pride involved in me saying no, because I was like, I'm only going to be from home for a week.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Do you not like, no, I know, but I think there's been to me like, I'll be back there soon. Don't worry about it. And now we're on our third week. Surgery's on the horizon. Can I ask a vulnerable question? Yeah. so our tap tower is up you just you have to be nice to me because i'm yeah i am in pain i know
Starting point is 00:15:24 yeah um our where we record is upstairs and the stairs are like pretty long and brutal and it's just like a not of like they're like industrial stairs they're not like stairs in a house it's not easy like it's not and so i'm the gaps between them and stuff i'll be honest going up is not going to be great, but going down is going to be much worse. Okay. I reckon. So, and this is the vulnerable question because I said something to Bridget, and I was like, Here we go.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Not being a dick. Yeah. And I was genuinely suggesting this. And she was like, that sounds like a fucked up thing to suggest. And I just want you to know that like, I'm actually just trying to, if we're comfortable in the studio and we want to be there, then maybe this is an option. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:17 You know how there's the danger doors? Yeah. I said we... Which are like for for forklifting furniture into and stuff. Yeah. I was like, could we crane you up there and go in the side? Or is that like a hell fucking weird thing to do?
Starting point is 00:16:33 Yeah. Right. So bridge was right. Shocking. But yeah. I didn't think that was a terrible idea. I'm not getting cranes. into my office.
Starting point is 00:16:46 That is so demeaning. And that's like getting there is that's what she's, but it's like there's doors there and it works and like I'll come with you. I mean, we actually don't have access to those doors we don't have like we don't have the keys or anything. No. Can I be sizzle lifted in? The start of each episode when the music plays.
Starting point is 00:17:06 And then I'll just do. Do you think that it's getting better? No. I think there's a difference. between like a crane and a scissor lift because the scissor lift is just like an elevator like in LA oh don't mention that house Charles
Starting point is 00:17:22 yeah do you think it's getting better Charles we could all use it though that sounds a bit fun see that's all my this so kind of land I think that there's probably a difference as well based on necessity like the fact that right now I can't go up the stairs
Starting point is 00:17:37 feels different to how fun is that that we're doing this thing yeah you know what I mean is it the term craned in that just really craned in I think doesn't help yeah because I just remember the visual of when I was going to buy the deep friar and you said I'd have to be craned out of my own house
Starting point is 00:17:54 and every time I hear the term crane that's what I picture yeah and like I said I can see how it can sound bad but I was also like we have these weird doors that are built for furniture yeah and we could be on the and I'm just a tiny woman what about if the set is on
Starting point is 00:18:14 the thing so we're both like on the couch ready to go I think I draw the line of being cranged into a building I think that that feels like pretty low for me you know and I think I might text bridge and just say thanks for she fought the good fight for you yeah no I love that even though she did you went I think I'll still ask her on the show Surprisingly, in my mind, this would have gone a lot better than how it has in reality. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:18:52 What did you think was going to happen? I'd go, what about this? And you go, great idea, Ryan, you've done it again. I get the logistics of it. And I know that you're not saying, well, I'll have to crane her into the fucking building. It's just the term. I know that you're not saying that. Like, genuinely I know that.
Starting point is 00:19:14 But there's always a butt. Yeah. Yeah, I think about maybe, like I said, because you know, like we rewound five minutes, how I said, you know that I'm pretty vulnerable at the moment and I am in pain. Yeah. I guess that there's also that right now I do feel pretty bad about myself. Yeah. And thinking about the fact that, oh, I can't even walk upstairs up to Craneer into the side
Starting point is 00:19:41 of the building. I mean, when you say it like that Yeah, and you didn't say it like that But that's how I would feel at the moment Do you think there's also something Here we go You know how like shuffling down the booth is how humbling Yeah
Starting point is 00:19:58 Do you think So you guys are all upstairs And things are like For me It's the speed and the sound Yeah, but I'm slowly humiliatingly slow Yes
Starting point is 00:20:10 Like if it just went Yeah, fine. Or throw me up. I'll tell me we might get started in eight minutes. Okay, I'm on my way. There's an episode of Absolutely Fabulous. Do you ever watch that show? I love that show, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Where one of the old ducks, they put in like the old ladies. The stairs. I know what you're talking about. And she like says bye and it takes like eight minutes to extend the thing. And that's what I'm imagining. Have a great day, you guys. see ya it beeping as I'm being dropped down
Starting point is 00:20:48 I know Charles saw talk to his dick last week but I don't think that working for me is that bad that's all I'll say Charles hates the idea of the lift for that reason Joe's like no
Starting point is 00:20:59 don't hurt a few things I met a guy at the supermarket the other day his name's Matt and then we bumped into each other at the gym so I was like hey we've got kids the same age you just moved to the area
Starting point is 00:21:11 So I was, oh, good to see you again, mate, blah, blah, blah, blah, chat on. Anyway, you have a good day. And then we both went to the same area. I was like, oh, cool, how to that. And then we both went to the weights thing. And I was like, that's you saying goodbye and then taking eight minutes to leave the room. I actually have a story of something similar that I was going to, that I'm going to share on the pod. And you think that that's like just shocking, just disgusting.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Can everyone let us know in the comments on YouTube or the episode thread if you think my suggestion went well? I've got a hot take and I mean... You know what? Free swing today. My hot take is that you're a... And I'll cop that today. No, no, no, no. I mean, we're just sharing ideas.
Starting point is 00:22:02 I actually do love you. No, I know you do. And I know that you weren't saying it like, we'll crane you in. I know that you weren't saying like that. however in my emotional state i just i i i think it's the fuss yeah no we'll just buy a scissor lift no you can rent them charles you shut the fuck up we're not renting a sizzleift we i don't know if everyone else knows this charles loves buying shit my fucking bank account knows it do you reckon
Starting point is 00:22:40 the other day Charles goes said something and he goes oh well that bottle of QP at work I paid for that with my own money
Starting point is 00:22:46 and I was like that's the first thing you've paid for since you've worked here oh well that bottle of QP I bought with my own money fuck do you need to borrow some cash
Starting point is 00:22:58 you okay Jesus Christ anyway I've got a hot tape I think this is pretty good people are sleeping on pre-made kishas and pies from the supermarket. You've been scorched.
Starting point is 00:23:19 Which section, though? So you know how in either the deli section or the dairy section, they've got like the pre-made meals of like, you know, you can get the single serve mac and cheese or the butter chicken or whatever? Often they have like kishas that are pre-made and you just bung them in the oven. air fryer even I guess you could yeah
Starting point is 00:23:41 I mean it's just an oven isn't it an air fryer that's not a hot take but mate we're doing these months but
Starting point is 00:23:48 yeah sorry yeah same about next week I'm going to hot talk about air friars no I agree for a lunch on the weekend
Starting point is 00:23:57 dang do you have a little tomato sauce on the side with Keish oh you got to you've got to Nagel loves Keish Kish
Starting point is 00:24:04 fuck it does and that's a great take probably the best one today. Making a quiche from scratch, like, takes long time, not to make it, but to cook it, like to set it. It takes ages.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Often they go dry and fucked. We got to make it three times. You've got to cook the fucking shell and then you've got to cook the fucking middle bit. Three bakes. That's too much. Three too many. Just buy it from the, great take. And they're not that expensive.
Starting point is 00:24:29 So on the weekend, actually, to try and get me out of the house, you Todd's cranes me out. and you know where we went, we drove to the Whittlesee Bakery? Really? So Torbs goes, do you know what we're going to do this? This is actually very sweet. On Friday night, he goes, you know what we're doing this weekend, sweetie?
Starting point is 00:24:51 And I was like, probably sitting on the couch, feeling sorry for myself. You know, he goes, we're going to find the best sausage roll in Victoria. Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever heard? I reckon. Uh-huh. his ideas of getting you out of the house are better than mine
Starting point is 00:25:07 we've been scroft we've both had the same idea just the execution was a little better how was things out of Whittlesey well it was so he Googles and he's like oh what's the best sausage roll the Whittlesea Bakehouse has the best sausage roll in Australia like it's won at a few times Really?
Starting point is 00:25:32 And we drove out. So it's probably, because I live like north side. Yeah, not far. It's actually not that far from here, probably like 45 minutes. Yeah. Not even. And we drove out there and we had a little sausage roll and a little vanilla slice if you don't fucking like. I actually don't mind.
Starting point is 00:25:51 And they had a fridge where they sell the stuff like not heated up. And they sold like family kishas and family pies like for dinner in the little fridge there. stick it in the oven and or air fryer. Yeah. And so we had like a bit of keesh, those like microwave potatoes you can get from Woolworths that have like the herbs and stuff in them and you just pop up in the microwave for like 10 minutes or whatever. Fuck yeah. And like baked some broccoli, like did some broccoli in the oven.
Starting point is 00:26:18 And fucking Bob's your uncle. It was so yummy. That is an awesome hot taste. It was so good. And I feel like there's these kishas at Coles. We've bought them before. Yep. And they're not that expensive.
Starting point is 00:26:30 And they're so yum. And you only need one to feed, like, me, Bridget and Mabel have all keyed up and not finished it. Yeah. Like, not finished one. Well, we had, like, I reckon we probably had like a quarter each. Yeah. And that's like, you know, for two nights. Yeah, a little heat up, full snack the next day.
Starting point is 00:26:48 But you know what? Like, that's pretty good. That's good. They're not that expensive, eh? No. I mean, the ones at the bakery are obviously more expensive than the ones at the Coles. Yeah. I think the ones at Coles are like 12 bucks.
Starting point is 00:26:59 So fucking yum. Couldn't get the immaterials for that. You actually can't The price of eggs at the moment I can't have eggs like $9 or $10 And I know that because I bought Charles eggs For his house recently So I'll often give BJ an egg in his food
Starting point is 00:27:14 Oh yeah You must be doing all right Well he looked at me the other day And I was like in this economy No way I would not have photo If you want to go get a job you can Yeah
Starting point is 00:27:22 But I can't be egg in you Yeah and I won't be But yeah A fucking pre-mate cash Great take Very good Now for the northern Hemisphere.

Starting point is 00:28:48 The top comment has fucking killed me dead. Hi coming, I'm dad. That's why you love to see it for today. I've got a really wholesome one to try and remind us all what you love to say it means. Elizabeth Enochens sent this through on Patreon and said, where I live in Belgium, August is Pride Month, so it's just been. And my sister asked me to go to the Pride parade with her. Elizabeth says, I'm by, but I've never gone before because I struggle with anxiety.
Starting point is 00:29:25 And there's so many people around and that. But I decided to go and a friend of my sister joined us. us. The friend brought her two kids, her eldest son is 11, and he'd been wanting to wear a dress outside the house for a really long time, but just never felt confident enough, and decided that the Pride Parade was like the day that he really wanted to try, which is so beautiful already. Before the parade started, Elizabeth says, he held my hand and told me how nervous he was. He was so scared that people were going to stare at him and he'd feel like a bit of an outsider. I told him that wouldn't happen
Starting point is 00:30:02 but I could tell he was still really worried but the second that the parade started it was like he just flipped a switch the people on the parade were cheering him on he was dancing to the music blowing kisses to the people in the parade and just looked so free so comfortable so happy
Starting point is 00:30:20 just like really connected with himself but also like an amazing supportive community yeah huge um Elizabeth said when it was over I asked him if he was still worried people would stare at him or if he was still nervous and he said with a giant smile on his face that no he wasn't worried anymore isn't it the most beautiful thing ever elizabeth said i'm so glad i was i was there to see it and i guess when you feel anxious about going to something but then something
