Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. Welcome to the podcast. Bow, bow, bow, bow. Welcome to the podcast today. No one else is going to give a fuck about this, but amazing coincidence chat for Tony and I. Yeah. We're about to call Dubbo.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Really? Before we hit record, for no reason, we were talking about this small Australian town of Dubbo for fucking ages. Yeah. And now we are calling Annabelle this small Australian town of Dubbo for fucking ages. Yeah. And now we are calling Annabelle. Annabelle from Dubbo. Who plans weddings in Dubbo.
Starting point is 00:00:30 Do you reckon that everyone's hearing that and going, that's not a real place? It is a real place in Australia. All the American tapas are like, no fucking way. It's the most Australian-sounding place in the world. Hello, this is Annabelle. Oh, g'day, Annabelle. Can you just confirm, Annabelle, that Dubbo is in fact a real place
Starting point is 00:00:44 and that's its real name? Absolutely it is. I was just saying, Annabelle, to Ryan, actually, that Dubbo sounds like a nickname. Like it sounds like the full name of Dubbo is like Double Dublin or something. And you go, yeah, out in Dubbo. Yeah, it's real, folks.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Out in Dubbo. We're in the outback, but it's okay. It's a major regional city, actually. Well, I live in the country, Annabelle, so that's not relatable for me. There's nothing more Dubbo than someone sticking up for Dubbo. Yeah, that is Dubbo vibes. That is Dubbo. Now, it says you're a wedding planner, Annabelle.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Has there been a big wedding season in Dubbo? Are we heading into quiet time in winter? Where are you guys at? No, we're about to start up again. So we've been in summer, which is a bit of a dead heat out here. But come next weekend, it's every weekend until the middle of winter. So back into it. So if Melbourne's a wet heat and Perth's a dry heat,
Starting point is 00:01:38 you're saying that Dubbo's a dead heat? Usually a dead heat. Well, I mean, it can go either way. Lately it's been quite a wet heat We've been rainy and everything But at the moment it's quite dry But dead heat I like It's very visual
Starting point is 00:01:52 It's too hot to do anything it's just dead Yeah you're dead I approve that Annabelle We approve that Annabelle Will you approve our episode for today Absolutely Oh yeah she's from Dubbo Yeah You did. We approve that, Annabelle. Will you approve our episode for today? Absolutely. Yeah, there we go.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Oh, yeah, she's from Dubbo. Hey, it's Annabelle from Dubbo, New South Wales, and I approve this podcast. All right, coming up today. First of all, I hope you had a great Easter. Full of chocolate and hot cross buns. Yeaster. Full of hot cross buns and chocolate. Yum.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Now that Easter has passed, I can tell you about a time that Easter was ruined for 200 Western Australian children because of something I did. We'll get to that soon. I'm not proud of it. I'm going to close the internet after we've recorded and all good. All good. Oh, well, then I maybe don't want to come in whole with what I've got
Starting point is 00:02:55 to talk about, but I've got a moral question. Do it. That's been weighing on my mind since my boyfriend shared something with me. Is it? No? Okay. No. Nothing immoral about that.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Put the oral in moral. Sorry. Anyway. Did you just think of that? Yeah, I did actually. That's actually quite good. I didn't write that down. I didn't know that this is where it would go, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Moral question. Moral question. Moral question. Would you ever take someone's reservation or appointment? In what? So say, like, you're at a restaurant and they're like, oh, table for two for Lodge, and you go, fuck, we really want a table and just, like, take it. Oh, because remember I took Bridget's waxing appointment.
Starting point is 00:03:47 But that was agreed. Yeah. Well, because she wasn't going to be there. So you're at a busy restaurant, you panic because you don't have a booking, someone yells out, yeah, table for two and you just go, fuck, should we just snake them? Yeah. Fuck, no, who's doing that?
Starting point is 00:04:02 See, I. Because what happens if the other person's there? Are they just about to walk in? So I was so stressed about asking you this because there was part of me that thought you would do that. Oh, it depends on the circumstance. How hungry am I? Where am I?
Starting point is 00:04:13 Which country? What type of food? How expensive is it? How long have I been waiting? What is the next best restaurant in the area? But none of that matters. You just can't do this. You can't take someone's pocket.
Starting point is 00:04:23 Like, just no way. What if you are, I'm going to say 12 minutes from dying of hunger? Then surely the restaurant is going to just like pour some fucking breadsticks into your face. At the table that you just took. No, I don't think it. What if you're in, you know how we wanted to go to Balthazar in New York just because it's like a place that gets talked about all the time
Starting point is 00:04:47 and you're like this is our one night in New York, probably the last opportunity for the rest of our life. It's fully booked. It's a lifelong bucket list. I just want to like just tick that box. But you don't think it is for the person that actually booked it? To dog eat, dog work. What's that saying?
Starting point is 00:05:04 What's that saying? That is the saying but like I don't think you, no. person that actually booked it to dog eat dog what's that saying what's that saying that is the same but like i don't think you know i think like morally so you came in hot and you said no you couldn't do it and now you're like oh but like if it's balthazar at 7 p.m on a friday night like no i just i think extenuating circumstances potentially but but mostly no just because of the if the other person's there then what do you say say? They go, no, that's my thing. And you go, oh, yeah, sorry. Well, so this happened. When?
Starting point is 00:05:27 Who? The other day, my boyfriend Torbs is getting his hair cut. Yeah. And the place that he goes to, he's been going there for, he's like followed his hairdresser around. Like he's moved to a lot of different barbershops. The other guy's been trying to get rid of Torbs by moving all over the city and Torbs just tracks him down wherever he goes. Well, he's actually, I mean, this doesn't sound good for Torb,
Starting point is 00:05:45 but he's actually not his barber. Like he was like, oh, I've been cutting hair for 15 years. I'm like over at one a bit of a different thing. He's like in a band. So he's like, oh, I'm going to like concentrate on that for a bit and whatever. This is pretty cool. But anyway, so he now sees another guy.
Starting point is 00:05:59 But so Torb has been going there for a long time. They all know him. Yep. And their place doesn't do walk-ins. Like you have to have a booking. That's weird because a lot of barbershops now, they're like walk-ins only. But see, I hate that because.
Starting point is 00:06:14 And you're waiting around. Yeah. You can't plan your day because you're either like, oh, well, I'm going to go get my haircut. The actual haircut is probably going to take 40 minutes, but who knows how long it would take to wait before that. They always go, oh, it'll just be one sec, grab a seat, and you go, how the fucking long am I going to be sitting there for?
Starting point is 00:06:30 Well, I'm the eighth person. Like there's eight other blokes sitting here and I can't. Yeah, it's the worst. So I like that he's found a spot with a booking. Yeah, well, because I just don't know. I don't know who that suits. It suits them because people don't turn up for their reservations and then they're sitting there like an asshole oh i yeah i i guess i understand but like from a consumer perspective
Starting point is 00:06:51 not okay no anyway torbs is sitting there and he's um like already got the cape on he's 10 minutes into his appointment and he's chatting with the guy who's cutting his hair like oh yeah like what are you up to for the weekend? Fuck him, whatever. There's three seats. Torbs is in the middle. There's a guy to his left that's like almost at the end of his hair, like he's been sitting there for a while. And then to the right of Torbs there's an empty seat. Ten minutes into Torbs' appointment, this guy walks in and the other barber who's like not currently cutting hair, he's like at the register
Starting point is 00:07:27 and like cleaning cups out the back and whatever, he kind of goes up to the front and this guy walks in, he goes, hey, mate, and the barber goes, oh, Christian? And the guy goes, yep. And he goes, oh, cool, man, like take a seat. Do you want a beer? Because you know how they do that now yeah um he's like i'll go grab a cape and like i'll grab you a beer and he's like yeah man all good sorry the word cape oh i mean like the hairdresser is he batman
Starting point is 00:07:55 yeah i'll go grab your fucking costume before we start cutting your hair sorry you know it makes total sense you know those kids hairdressers though where you like sit in a car and they cut your hair? I got sat next to a guy in a car the other day. At the traffic lights? Down in Rosanna. No, there was this kid in a little car and his mum was like holding up the phone so he was watching Bluey.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Yeah. And I was like, oh, that's so cute. And then I had to sit on a chair without Bluey and I was like, this fucking sucks. You like call your mum. You're like, mum, you're going to have to come and hold the Bluey up for me. Come put me in a car. I don't think I want to fit in that car.
Starting point is 00:08:27 That's okay. Who's holding the bluey? It sounds really nice. Mate, I'll come and hold bluey for you next time. Yeah. Oh, great. Can I sit in the outing when they do it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Pop that up on the thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's got that big screen in it. So we'll just put bluey on that. So Christian's walked in. So and he's like. Christian. Christian's walked in so and he's christian christian's walked in and um so he sits
Starting point is 00:08:47 down um and the guy like pops the cape on hands him the beer and as he's kind of like fucking around and getting started another guy walks through the front door and like makes eye contact with the barber and he goes hey man i'm so I'm so sorry I'm late. I've got an appointment for blah time. Yeah. And the barber's like, oh, what was the name? And he goes, Christian. How awkward. And Torb said that there's this weird moment where everybody kind of goes,
Starting point is 00:09:23 they're all looking at each other. They're looking at fake Christian, real Christian. It's like, you know, that Spider-Man meme where they're all pointing at each other and he's like, we're all sitting there watching this like unfold. And Tom's literally sitting there and cannot move in the middle of the world. And he's just like.
Starting point is 00:09:45 And like, so literally it's like silence in there. The music stops playing somehow. Yes, because Christian O'Connell would have been playing the music, but he's busted. Yeah, well, there's two Christians in there. And Tobs is like, so there's this moment where they're all like, what? And then the hairdresser goes to fake Christian. He goes, what the fuck, dude?
Starting point is 00:10:09 Calls him out. Yeah, and he's just like, get out of here. And he like shoos him off the seat. And he started chopping? No. He's got a half a mustache. He's like, get the fuck out of here. He's got half a head of extensions installed.
Starting point is 00:10:21 He just doesn't have the other half yet. And he goes. So he just fucking. And he just goes like, bro, what? the other half yet. And he goes. So he just fucking. And he just goes like, bro, what? Like what gives kind of thing? Yeah. And the guy's just like, oh, yeah, like thought I'd try my luck or whatever. So he admitted it.
Starting point is 00:10:33 And then the other guy's just like, what's got. Because he, the actual Christian, he's just walked in. He's got no idea. And he's looking in the mirror at his bub and he's like, what the fuck just happened's looking in the mirror at his barber and he's like, what the fuck just happened? Yeah, the eyes would have been darting around like insane. Oh, yeah, and everyone's just like can't believe what's happened. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:10:52 And Torbz's barber goes, oh, bro, that's like the third time this has happened this week. Is it always Christian? It's the same guy that keeps sitting down. I mean, I said to Torbz, I was like, let's give this guy the benefit of the doubt, fake Christian. Maybe the guy went Christian, but he thought he said, are you a Christian?
Starting point is 00:11:11 And he went, my brother in Christ, yes, I am. And he sat down and gone like, alleluia, I'm getting my hair cut. What about if Toni Collette is going to get her hair cut and she's running a bit late and you walk in and they go tony and you go yeah oh yeah and then i go well here's my driver's license i am tony that's what i thought that you meant so maybe fake christian is just different christian just a different christian 2.0 but he folded like a fucking wet paper bag he should have stayed true the second that they went what dude he dude? He went, yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:11:45 And he just like. And he fucked off. Yeah. Took the beer? Oh, I don't know. Didn't get that detail. Torb said the hubbub in the room was just too much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Oh, my God. And so we're talking about this and I was like, morally, you could not because as you said at the beginning of this conversation, what happens when the actual person fucking rocks up? All right, well, do you think it's better that he, because the fact that he admitted it proves that he knew he was in the wrong the whole time. But he didn't really admit it.
Starting point is 00:12:15 He got called out. Knowing that you're like doing the right thing isn't the same when you've been caught. Yeah, but I mean like it's not like he was confused or didn't get like, he knew the whole time that he was running a jig. It's worse, don't you think? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Because I'm like you sat there knowing so full well. Yeah, or if he comes in and goes, oh, sorry, you pointed to me and said Christian, and I said, yeah, and then we're sitting here and I'm sorry. Oh, I'm so sorry, like got confused or something. But he's just like, yeah, nah. And he's running this con all around town probably. I wonder how.
Starting point is 00:12:46 How many barbers has he gone into and like stolen a bookie? Well, he can never go back to that place again. What's the limit? Do you know what I mean? Like if you do that for a haircut, like, I don't know. All right. You calling out bingo when you don't have a bingo at the bloody nanny's hall or whatever?
Starting point is 00:13:02 James, get ready to write this down. You know how I've got my list of stuff that Tony would hate to do? I would never. I would quit before I do this. On the list currently is go up to someone who definitely does not work in the supermarket and say, excuse me, do you work here? Where's the milk? Another one is.
Starting point is 00:13:19 Where's the milk? I don't know. That chick. Yeah, that fucking bitch at Dixon in Canberra. Yeah. I think you just turning up to random places and just waiting for him to go, Sylvia? And you go, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Sure. Because do you remember when we were in New York City and I was trying to get my nails done? A walk-in! A walk-in! In New York City! Times Square, New York City! Let the record show I walked into a bar bar in Times Square. New York City. Let the record show I walked into a barber in Times Square.
Starting point is 00:13:46 New York City. And it was fine. Yeah, well, it wasn't fine to get my nails done. And they were all busy. Oh, I'm not disputing that. I just didn't like her attitude. Oh, it was really scary. New York.
Starting point is 00:13:56 New York. And I was like, oh, sorry, it's like pretty normal. My name's Christian. Is there a bookie? Yeah, I'm a Christian. I prayed for a bookie. So he can never go back to that barber. No, surely not.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Well, I mean, would they recognize him? I don't know. Like is he on a no-fly list for that barber? I believe so. Yeah, he'd be no. Is that how it works? Yeah. He goes to get in the little car and they go, ah, ah, ah.
Starting point is 00:14:21 No, sorry. No bluey for you, mate. Put bluey away. Hey, it's Annabelle from Dubbo, New South Wales, and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout-out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon. Brianna Dawn. Good on you, Brianna.

Starting point is 00:16:04 Yeah. Over the weekend. Got a bit spoiled, me. Did you? Yeah. A few eggs. My favourite eggs are those lint bunnies with the solid ears. The lint bunnies. Because that can fucking shove that up my ass so good. I'll tell you what I love, a crunchy bunny. Oh, a crunchy bunny is good. I don't like crunchies, but a crunchy bunny is nummies.

I don't even know if they still make, couldn't find them over the easter satan the kit kats with the the kit kat bunnies with the like molten center it's like multi creamy center because i bought some and it was just chunks of kit kat in there where it used to be like full of that's not right they were fucking unreal but i couldn't find them this year. Do you know what else is really good? Those little Humpty Dumpties. They are cute.
Starting point is 00:16:49 But the mini ones. Yeah, they don't get carried away. Yeah, but the big one, it's just. I don't like the big eggs. There's too much air and then you've got to smash it and leave it in a bowl. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I completely agree with you.
Starting point is 00:17:02 So I can't believe that. I ruined Easter for 200 Western Australian children a few years ago. Oh, was it me? I'm from WA, God's country. Maybe. So I was dressed up to like play the role of the Easter bunny in a fun little thing. Oh, was it an event?
Starting point is 00:17:22 Yeah, the Easter bunny is busy doing his thing. She's busy, babe. Yeah, so I dressed up for the Bunbury Surf Life Saving Club and Radio West and it was hosted by Cliff Reeve, was this event, and someone at the radio station said, Ryan, can you dress up as the Easter Bunny? For the event? For the event and just we're going to have a good time.
Starting point is 00:17:40 There's heaps of kids going down there and we'll do a little Easter egg hunt and stuff like that. And I was like, sure, all good. And as you know, Tony, working in like regional radio, it's sort of like an all hands on deck. Oh, there's an event on. Can you go and hand out the cans of Coke? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:54 All good. So I go, yeah, no, I can help out. And also, is that a bit fun? Yeah. Because you go, oh, my God, like I'm there and I'm making the day for the kids and you're handing stuff out and that's fun. Yeah. And also, Bunbury Surf Lifesaving Club is fucking gorgeous.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Yeah. Like the actual venue. Yeah. Like all those windows across. Beautiful. Like it's stunning. Beautiful. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:15 That wouldn't have been far from your old place. Very close to my old place. Just down the road. Now here's what they didn't tell me beforehand. Because it was the Surf life-saving club they said we'll pick you up from near my place at the hungry hollows yeah in the dinghy because what an entrance for the easter bunny to turn up on by boat hang on sorry what are you fucking italian you're in venice what are you doing rocking Rocking up in a boat? No, but it's a surf lifesaving club.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Of course you come in on the water. Do you want to borrow my paddle board? I heard it's free. I heard it's free. The Easter Bunny could paddle across. May I remind you, so I'm dressed up as the Easter Bunny on this day. So I'm not the Easter Bunny. I'm dressed up as the Easter Bunny for an event.
Starting point is 00:19:01 For an event. The Easter Bunny is busy. Yeah, he's so busy. So far. Laying all those busy. Yeah, he's so busy. So far. Laying all those eggs. Is that how it works? Actually, I said that and now I don't know. No, well, bunnies isn't eggs, is it?
Starting point is 00:19:15 That's a pouch. No, rabbits don't have a pouch. You're thinking of a kangaroo. Please, can we cut this out? I really don't want anyone to hear me say that. You're thinking of a kangaroo. Yes, I am. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:28 What's a bunny do? They just give birth. Oh, like a marsupial. No, that's a pouch. Aren't we marsupials? No, we're mammals. No, we're mammals. Oh, we're going to prison.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Oh, we are so stupid. No, no, no, we're mammals like a dolphin. All right. A dolphin's a mammal. Are dolphins a mammal? Do dolphins have eggs? No, dolphins don't lay eggs. They birth a human live young. Not a human, obviously.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Sharks, though, they lay eggs. Isn't that crazy? Have you ever seen a shark egg? It's hell intense. It's like a big spiral. So what does a bunny do? What does a bunny do? I didn't research this because I didn't think this is where we were headed.
Starting point is 00:20:09 According to folklore. The Taylor Swift album, obviously. Yeah, they do lay eggs, colourful eggs. Easter gear. Good to know. No. So I'm in the Easter bunny He's lying
Starting point is 00:20:31 He's lying Sorry Sorry. I actually feel a lot more comfortable about sharing this story because I know despite how fucked this story is going to be, nothing is going to be as bad as that. Yeah. Ryan just asked if we were marsupials. Oh, that wasn't the worst part.
Starting point is 00:21:00 It's not looking good. I knew it started with an M. Alright, so I'm dressed up in the bunny suit and if anyone hasn't worn a bunny suit before, let me tell you, you can't see anything. Oh. There's sort of like a little mesh thing through the mat, but it's pretty much... Because it's the big head.
Starting point is 00:21:21 The big head. The paper mache head kind of vibe, isn't it? Yeah. I don't know paper mache, but yeah, like it's a big... I've made a Cookie Monster costume and that had a paper mache head kind of vibe isn't it yeah i don't know paper mat but yeah like it's a big i've made a cookie monster costume and that had a paper mache head so that's essentially like you're the mascot at the football or whatever but it's the big huge thing yeah yeah and so you can't really see except there's a mesh bit in the mouth but it's like the i can't expect the vision is you're at three percent vision oh like it's horrible
Starting point is 00:21:41 and you're on a small dinghy on the ocean oh i forgot about the boat so you're bobbling up and down and you can't see anything because you're in this suit so you're just like were you driving the boat someone else is driving the surf life saving guys of course so they just go sit on the edge of the boat and you're like hold on on the edge side saddle side saddle on the thing and then they'll go we'll take you out to sea and then when we get the call, we'll, like, come back around into the bay and then you'll, like, surprise the kids. And so then they're like, Roger, oh, no,
Starting point is 00:22:12 the kids are still about to do this other game, so you just hold out there for a second. So we're just, like, out in the ocean and I've got this head on. Shark food. Just bobbling along. How do you go on a boat? Are you all good? Sea legs aren't that strong, but I don't think anyone's sea legs
Starting point is 00:22:29 are strong when you've got a big thing on your head. And it's also a pretty hot day in Western Australia. I'm starting to sweat in the suit and I don't know if the sweat's from the heat or from the seasickness because I'm like a cold sweat or a hot sweat. I don't know what kind of sweat it is, but I'm sweating. Yeah. So finally we get the call, come to shore.
Starting point is 00:22:52 So we, we come in and they kind of like, you know, they kind of like hit the sand and then you got to jump out. Yeah. So I jumped out and the, and the angle, the feet of the suit are just splashing around in the sand and the water. And it's gross. It would have been so heavy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Like getting wet. Like if you have a swam in clothes it's gross. It would have been so heavy. Yeah. Like it's getting wet. Like if you have a swam in clothes. Yeah. It's heavy. Yeah, I did my bronze medallion. You have to jump in the pool with clothes on. And so when I get off the beach, this one kid goes, look, it's the Easter Bunny.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Oh, so you're like it's all worth it because they're excited. 200 kids come running over to me. Now kids love them. Love them. But they're handsy as fuck. They're grabbing you. They're pulling stuff. They're doing stuff and all this thing.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Now, here's another thing. No one mentioned the boat part in advance. Yeah. No one also mentioned that the Easter bunny isn't supposed to talk when he's in the suit. Would that be a given? Nah, I don't actually think so. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Okay, because I wasn't briefed on that I wasn't supposed to. Apparently you're not supposed to talk. But I guess most mascots don't talk, do they? I met SpongeBob the other day and he didn't talk. But he talks in real life. Where did you meet SpongeBob? It's private. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:59 So these kids come running over, they're grabbing at me, they're going, Mr Easter Bunny, will you be my friend? And because I've just got off the boat and all these people are chasing me and I'm sweating, I'm like, I'm fucking struggling. And so I go, yeah, I'll be your friend. Do you have any Gaviscon or Traveland? You don't have any water, mate, do you? Yeah, water would be great.
Starting point is 00:24:24 I don't know how to drink it in the suit, but I'm fucking parched. Oh, mate, you broke character. It's the one rule. I feel like the Easter Bunny is allowed to have water. No, no, no, but, like, you're supposed to go, yeah, and I'd love some water or something, you know. Am I allowed to have some chocolate? This is the kids.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Yeah. I go, I don't know. What do I look like, a parent? I don't have any power. I don't know. You're allowed to have chocolate. this is the kids yeah i go i'm like what do i look like apparently probably you might have chocolate i fucking know just give me a sec fuck because they're like when i arrived at the sand i had to get up to the surf life saving club yeah to do that but there's 200 kids in the way you know how that is to navigate when you can't see yeah mr easter bunny why do you have a floppy ear? Oh, that's cute. I don't think it's supposed to be floppy, but I think it's the salt water and it's sweating and I don't know,
Starting point is 00:25:11 but good question, kid. And so I'm like trying to get up there and then I finally get to the top of the stage and Cliff Reeve is hosting Radio West's Triple M's Finest. Yeah. And he's like, oh, hey, kids, like the Easter Bunny's here. And I was like, yeah, yeah, it's fantastic. And then I thought he was inviting me up to like say a few words Clem's finest. Yeah. And he's like, oh, hey, kids, like the Easter Bunny's here. And I was like, yeah, it's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:25:28 And then I thought he was inviting me up to like say a few words because, again, I didn't really know that like I wasn't supposed to because I just thought, oh, hi, thanks for coming down, everyone. Happy Easter. Happy Easter. We're about to do a little treasure hunt, so get ready or something. And as soon as I got up on stage, I don't know if it was like the height mixed with the seasickness and the sweatiness. No.
Starting point is 00:25:47 I threw up in the suit. No, you did not. So I got the mic and I was like, thanks, Cliff. And he was like, why are you taking the mic? I was like, thanks, Cliff. So the thing about Easter. No way. Why has your voice gone that deep every time you're the Easter Bunny?
Starting point is 00:26:06 The sea. The sea? It was the sea. It was the motion. I was heartened at sea. Yeah, it was no good. And you threw up. Yeah, but the good thing about throwing up in the suit is that no one can see
Starting point is 00:26:15 that you've thrown up. They can hear that you've thrown up. In time they'll be able to smell that you've thrown up, but they can't see that you've thrown up because it's inside the suit. So that's the good part of the story. Can you guess what the bad part is? Oh, I mean, none of those sounded that good to me, but. Well, it's good that they don't know that you've thrown up.
Starting point is 00:26:34 But they can hear it and smell it. Yeah. But what's the bad part? That you've thrown up in a suit that you're wearing. It's in the suit and so am I. Yeah. And so then it started leaking out of the ankles, like coming out of the bottom bit, like coming out of the bottom bit. Yeah. Yeah. And so then it started leaking out of the ankles, like coming out of the bottom bit, like coming out of the bottom bit.
Starting point is 00:26:47 Yeah. Yeah. And then I think, did you ever work with Kat? Kat Tibbetts? Yeah. Yeah. So I think she was like, oh, I think he's fucking struggling. And then she was like, oh, Mr. Easter Bunny,
Starting point is 00:26:59 do you want to come back inside to the change rooms? And I was like, yeah. And then she had to like peel the head off me and it kind of dripped a little bit. And then, yeah. And then like. That is the craziest thing I've ever heard. We've announced like, oh, the Easter Bunny is not feeling too well, everyone.
Starting point is 00:27:19 So we'll just do the treasure hunt without it. Too many chocolate eggs. Oh. We couldn't return the suit. Yeah. Pretty sure that suit, though, is still there. In the Surf Lifesaving Club? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Like it's still part of the radio station thing. Oh. Because someone dressed up in it. Yeah. So I don't know if that had been through the dry cleaner. I hope so. The wet cleaner, hopefully. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:44 The damp. Yeah. Full. Yeah. Out wet cleaner, hopefully. Yeah, the damn full out to ocean buried. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Viking funeral. What's that cleaner? Yeah, what's that? Viking funeral. When you put it on a boat and then you fire a flaming arrow at it and it sets it on fire and it burns at sea.
Starting point is 00:27:59 I don't think that would be enough. Torbs once said that that's what he would like when he dies. Okay. I'd like that. I don't want to be buried in case I'm still alive. It's pretty crazy. Oh, no, me either. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Unless I'm shallow buried with a door on the, a handle on the inside. Nah, I think I'd just like to be cremated. Yeah, that's what I mean, yeah. Yeah. No, no handle required. Okay. Anyway, we'll Easter Bunny chat, cremation chat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:23 So happy Easter, everyone. Do you now know why I try to save that till after Easter? That's so upsetting. I can't believe I've never heard that story before. That is crazy. I can feel the thickness in my mouth. Oh, don't say that. Don't say that.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Don't say that. Am I allowed to have the chocolate? How the fuck would I know if you're supposed to have chocolate or not? I don't know, babe. Some people have dietary issues and you could be one of them. Like at the time I'm guessing you were like 25 or something. So you're like, I don't have kids. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Yeah, but every kid's different. I don't fucking know. Who do you think I am? The fucking, yeah. Well, surely you'd just be like, yeah, ask your mum. I don't know. But then, you know, what if that little kid was me? And you go, ask your mum, and he goes.
Starting point is 00:29:12 She got Viking buried. Yeah. She actually was cremated. Or if I go, yeah, all good, and then they eat chocolate and die, and then the mum's like, why did he eat chocolate? Are you liable for that? Yeah. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:29:24 PC gone mad. The people versus the Easter bunny. What do you love to see, Tony Lodge? Our mate Kate sent this through on Patreon. Yeah. Kate says, I've got to love to see it. The 15-year-old I've been help raising since she was five months old has grown accustomed to me listening to Tony and Ryan when I drop her off at school.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Legend. This past Tuesday, so last week, I didn't have it on and she goes, oh, no Tony and Ryan today? So I immediately turned it on and she's grown to love laughing on the way to school, especially if she's a bit stressed about a test or something that's going on. And you kind of get that pep in your step, gives you the bit of power
Starting point is 00:30:05 to get through your day. I listened to Tony and Ryan before my exam on Monday. Did you? Just take the edge off. How was that? The exam or the listening to us? Either. Take answers to both.
Starting point is 00:30:15 The podcast was great. Exam was rough. Yeah. Yeah. But how do you reckon you went? I passed. Good. Don't know by how much, but I think I've got enough to get over the line.
Starting point is 00:30:25 That's all we need. All we need is a C. I think we'll know next week or the week after. And as we've said earlier, no news is bad news. So Kate says her name is Gabby. Oh, hey, Gabby. And thought you'd like to know that you're impacting the youth with shitting in public stories, throwing up in Easter bunny costumes
Starting point is 00:30:42 and expanding her knowledge on what's normal or what's nah. So, hey, Gabby. And thanks, Kate, for sending that in. That's awesome. I do love to see that. Thank you very much. Love you guys. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:32:33 with a photo of you dropping shuckers at the front of Waffle House. Why did I shuckers so much in America? I don't know. It was like I was a different woman. I think it's because we'd just recently been to Shucker Brothers in Auckland, New Zealand, and you're all shucked up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Shuck me. The shuck and suck I believe was the phrase we used late on a Friday night. Yeah. Oh, thank you for sharing that.
Starting point is 00:32:55 That's awesome. What's a higher honour? Oh, both really will be going in my family newsletter. Fuck that Waffle House photo. Especially during engineer chat.
Starting point is 00:33:08 This really fucking hits hard. Yeah, but I mean like. What of it? I'm a cool engineer and I've always said that. Yeah. Thank you very much for listening, even though we talked a lot about Isopani vomit suits. Oh, did you hear that?
Starting point is 00:33:23 What? I think there's a mail arrive for Tony Lodge tomorrow. What? It's a mail? Yeah. I think it's just arrived for you. Mail for me? Yeah. What is it?
Starting point is 00:33:34 Is it a bill? Because I'm like. There is no bills. Remember the thrill when you're a kid of like checking the mail because maybe there'd be a birthday card or something like that. Now, leave that fucking letterbox closed. It only delivers bad news. Dear Banks, stop sending me a letter
Starting point is 00:33:56 asking me if I'd like to go electronic only. I've already said yes every fucking time. And then you send me a piece of paper confirming that I'm no longer receiving paper. And then two weeks later, you send me another letter saying, hey, did you want to cancel this piece of paper? I already fucking did. And I've already got the piece of paper.
Starting point is 00:34:11 So it's actually, it's moo. Anyway, love you. Love you. Oh, we've jazzed up. Mr. Easter Bunny. Oh, we're off to the footy today. Oh, yeah. Fuck yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:24 Yep. So we'll see you in Tony's box if you're coming in my box this afternoon. You know what? It's been a great long weekend, but knowing that I'm going to finish by coming in Tony's box is just really going to tie off a great weekend. That's what Torb says every weekend. Now, we should have talked about this earlier, but are you going to drive? Because a part of the box is like open bar.
Starting point is 00:34:43 I don't think so. You going to catch a train home or something? Yeah. I think so. Give it a nudge. Get our money's worth. Fucking Taiwan on. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:34:51 Yeah, fuck yeah. Fucking cost a bit. Might as well. We've already paid. We've already paid. Be rude not to. It cost us money not to drink. Like, yeah.
