You go. Sorry. Hi. Podcast Tony, Ryan, both of us. You go. No, I don't want to. I got stage fright. Tony has stage fright. My name is Ryan. That is stage fright, Tony. We are calling Mina, who's a hot California girl. Oh, we were hot California girls when we were there.

Yeah. Yeah. But as soon as you fly out, it's over, which is a real shame. Mm. Hello? Mina! Mina! Oh my God.

Hello. Mina, can you confirm that you are a hot California girl? I am a hot California girl, yay. And? It's a state of mind. Love it. It's going to go to the next level. Can you tell Tony what you do for a living?

I am a cake decorator at a grocery store. Oh, I love to see that. Yeah, that is huge. You can't actually impress Tony any more than you already have. A cake decorator. Yeah, that's good of me. Oh yeah. That's good. Yeah. That's good. Yeah. That is good. I feel so inferior. Honestly. It's a lot of fun, but I spend a good chunk of my day cutting up fruit. Yeah. I mean, I'll take it. I'll try some fruit. It's hot in California. Yeah.

Throw a little rum in there. Give it a stir. Oh yeah. A bit of St. Grail. Yeah. Love it. Mina, will you approve today's podcast? Yes, I will. Thank you so much for calling. You're welcome. Yay! It's Mina from California and I approve this podcast. You know how I know this is going to be an excellent week? Because I'm here with you. Yes.

And, and something we just... Sorry, someone doing burnouts in the car park? Doing wheelies? The Feng Shui. All right. Well, actually that has put me in a good mood. The fact that someone's doing doughies in our car park. Yeah, sounds cool.

But we were just playing a game before we hit record and the game was, um, eat a cherry, look sexy, and then spit the pip into the thing, but still look sexy. And we are currently at nil all. Oh, I didn't know that you were playing that game. I was playing a game where I wasn't playing a game and you spat cherry peeps out of your mouth at me. Well, that's weird how the perception is different, isn't it? Yeah. Well, Tony wasn't spitting them out.

She was letting them fall out of him. They fell down delicately from my mouth into the jar. Would we like to have one shot each before we start? No, I don't think that. I want you to spit a fourth cherry pip at me today. What if I put the bowl like over here? Yes, I'll allow that. And people love hearing you eat on a podcast.

Yep. Not one of Tony's- The cherries are real crunchy though. They're really yummy. Um, they're really fresh. Farmers P.K.U. Thank you so much. Tarpas, tap economy. Two kilos of cherries, $26.

Oh, fuck, sorry. I've overshot and landed on the carpet. Can I just double check? Um, who's going to pick that up? You're picking that up right now. That's my recommendation for a game. You and your family should play this Christmas. That is terrible advice.

Of all the bad recommendations we've given on this podcast, that might be the worst. And watch Taken. Every time Liam Neeson kills someone, spit a cherry. Oh, there's not enough cherries in the world. Oh, that was a really big laugh you guys. That was good. That was good. Maybe that should be like a marketing ploy of farmer.

Pk you. Farmer Pk you is they create a game where you have to eat a cherry every time Liam Neeson kills someone. I do prefer that to a drinking game. Cause I'm a cherry game. Yeah. Like that kind of food. Yeah.

I know game every time. Now there's an idea. Every time I breathe, I have to eat a nugget. I'm like, now there's an idea. Every time I breathe, I have to eat a nugget. Every time we release a podcast, we have to get a box of 20 nuggets. Five days a week. Well, fun aside, we don't do that. What we're going to put the fun side of time to get to the fun aside because

we are tired and you have to forgive us. Everybody everyone is tired. I think that my phone is going to explode from the Black Friday post Black Friday pre pre post Black Friday, Boxing Day, Christmas sales. Oh my God. Like every single time I open my phone, I'm just like so excited. Yeah. But I'm also like, so it's kind of the end of the year.

Is it a come down after Black Friday? Like, like it's, it's, it happened a week ago and then we're like, oh, like. I think that that's maybe what like needs to happen, but already because it's Christmas. Yeah. And so I feel like, cause I'm a bit tired, but cause all the sales are on. I think that like all the little hits of dopamine of like ordering something, like having a little treat on the way is the only thing that's getting me through right now.

The end of the year is so close and sometimes you just need a little zap of feel good. Yeah. I just need that Australia post notification. That's like, that's ready for you to pick up the post office. Huh? It's going to get delivered today. That's coming.

Fuck yeah. Yeah. What have you, uh, what are you indulged in? Um, well, I've bought a few things that I've like had my eye on and then I thought, you know what I like need to rein it in. And so I, I had something in my car that I didn't buy and now it's out of stock. Oh, and do you regret it? Yeah, I do.

And that's okay. Cause I obviously wasn't meant to have it and whatever. And it's just stuff. It doesn't matter. But I was like, Ooh, and now I'm like, Oh, but I posted our Facebook group and was like, what are people doing for a bit of dopamine? What are people doing to like get through this period? Because especially in America, Thanksgiving, like you've been to see the family and then you traveling back for Christmas as well.

What was the thing that was out of order? It was just this handbag that I'd had my eye on. Okay. Yeah. A nice one. It was nice. Yeah. Yeah. Um, a nice one. Um, it was nice.

Yeah. So the bag that I use for work in the bag that I use, like my handbag, they're both the same brand and this brand, the bag that I was looking at was the same brand. Yeah. Um, and now it's gone. And now it's gone, but it's okay. It's okay. Mob, other bags will come.

Would you like a cherry? No, I'm okay. Thank you. I'd like you to spit a cherry at me. If you don't mind. That was an MDFR. I don't want you to spit at me. Because you know I will. You know I will. I've been in the same boat and I think, I don't think anyone's immune from that. Like, is it fair to say we're all like not proud of the fact that you get a dopamine hit from buying stuff. Like we're not proud, but like it is what it's real, right?

Like it's like, it just is a bit of a spike in the week, isn't it? You've got all something new is coming, which I know like, like you said, I'm not proud of it. Yeah. But it just feels nice. That's what's going to get me through. So last week I bought. No judgment free zone, safe space. We listen and we don't judge.

No judgment free zone, safe space. We listen and we don't judge. Last week I bought Bridget, myself and Mabel matching bathers. Very cute. Which Bridget will probably not wear. But one photo, you know, and then like cute. If you see that photo over the holidays, can you please comment, worth it? And then I, as someone who has judged crocs and croc wearers for the last 15 years, bought Mabel and I matching crocs.

How are you liking the croc? They're pretty good. And Bridget was like, oh, fucking, and she's wearing my crocs all the fucking time. They are really comfortable. They're also just so handy because like wearing them out in the garden and stuff, because you can just hose them off. Yeah, they're actually really convenient. And that's literally what we're doing with Mabel. And like, yeah, perfect. Yeah. Now I know you've also got ads for the Mela sunglasses.

I get the sponsored ads for this brand. Literally every time I go on my phone, I get ads for these sunglasses. I think I bought them and this isn't a real theory, but I think here you can have these ones. Try them on. Thank you. I think I'm kind of like, if I buy it, can I tick a button that says I've already bought it? Can you stop fucking advertising to me?

I wish that you could do that as well. Cause I'm like, I've seen these Mala sunglasses. Those ones that you've got in your hands are cool. I can't see myself because, um, my glasses aren't prescription. So they're for me and they look too small on you and they were very small on me. I look like a, oh, I can't really say. Let's I look like one of the blind mouse. I look like one of the blind mouse.

How would you know? Because you're a blind mouser. That is so upsetting. Can I try on those cool ones? They look like sunglasses that a supermodel would wear inside. One of the five. Oh, shit. No, that's not good on me. I look like a truck driver.

I think it's the glasses.. I look like a truck driver. I think it's the glasses. I also look like one of the blind mouses. You look like one of the blind mouses. So on the, these are tiny. They're too small. They look like the Mabos. Yeah.

So, and the thing is I bought them online and they turned up. They're really dark, aren't they? They are really dark. They're actually really hard to see in those. I feel like you look good. You know how they always wear sunglasses? Yeah. And they fucking pull it off. Now, I can't really do this.

I think I look like someone who's turned the wrong corner. I look like I've just had an eye exam and they were like, pop these on and that will stop your pupils from dilating. Yeah. So I don't know if they're great. I've just had a medical procedure in the hopes that these would get removed and it wasn't successful. I look like a doctor has tried to interfere with this existing on me. And it has not been a success.

That is shocking. Um, maybe people are calling me.. How come people look cool in these? You looked way cooler than me. Sophie be honest. Do I look cool or do I look like I'm in a midlife crisis? I don't think I said you looked cool. I said you looked cooler than me. They're midlife crisis-y though, aren't they?

I'm packaging sick though. Yeah, good for them. But I think what I'm getting at is the dopamine of buying them was a significantly better result than receiving them and trying them on. Yeah. And do you know the thing that I do, which I think that maybe is what's happening? And they're tight on my head. They're small. I buy things for the person that like I wish I was.

Oh yeah, obviously. And like I go, oh, I'd love to be someone that wears that. And then I buy it and then I don't wear it. And it's not that it like doesn't fit or whatever. It fits and it's like fine. But I go, oh, like, am I that girl? Is this, and this is not an ad thing, but is it a similar energy with the like the hobbies

and stuff? Cause when I think of a new hobby, I go, Oh, I'd love to be the kind of person who ... Like I'd love to be the kind of person that runs. Yeah. But I hate running. Yeah. So what a stupid fucking and I go, I'm going to go for a run. I go for a few runs and I'm like, my legs are sore.

This sucks. And also it's like, I want to be a kind of person that runs. But like you want to be the kind of person that runs, but you don't want to run. Yeah. So like what's something that you enjoy doing? Not running real good at it. But then like what's the difference? Because obviously in this situation, you're like, I want to be a runner because people that run are more organized and they're fit and they get outside.

They get fresh air. What are ways that you can do those four things that aren't running? Barbecuing. Great. And I'll come around and I'll eat it and I'll wear that and I'll go, I can't see anything. I'm a blind old ghost. I know you're a blind mice, but open your mouth because daddy's cooked a sausage. Do you know what? I actually am hailing the mood for a baby, Qua. I'm in hell in the mood for a sausage. Bridget's like above sausages. Like she thinks she's better than sausages. So we never have sausages. And I come around, we have baby quah.

Let's fucking do it. So if you want to come around for a baby quah, I would love that. I love hosting a baby quah. Why aren't we doing that? Right now I want. Am I in a good mood? Yeah, you are.

And is this a bad idea? No, it's great. So I want plain white that. Right now I want- Am I in a good mood? Yeah, you are. And is this a bad idea? No, it's great. So I want plain white bread. Yeah. Leave your whole meal, grainy nutty shit for another fucking day.

Can I also add something here? Butter, yes. Yes and you? Sure. I don't want a bun. Fuck off. People think that a bun is like a better option. And they're wrong. I just want bread.

Plain white shit tip top bread. I don't do it with butter. You know what I do? What? Don't say mayonnaise. No. Oh my God. Little smear of cream cheese. Wow. Won't that make you cum in your own tits? I'll pretend I didn't see that.

Yeah. Oh. For comedy reasons, I've put tits? I'll pretend I didn't see that. Yeah. Oh. For comedy reasons, I've put the blind glasses back on. The blind mouse's glasses. I will then have Heinz tomato sauce because it's the only tomato sauce. And French's mustard, the one in the yellow bottle. That's the best one. Yeah.

And then I want some fucking like shit potato salad with like chunks of egg and bacon. Yep. Yum. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Oh, we should do that. That's my pick me up. You want to know Chelsea's pick me up? Oh, sorry. Sorry. So can I just enter into the barbecue?

I know it's like slightly different direction. If you throw a rissole at me. I mean, for a rissole, so. Oh, same. But can we chuck a couple prawns on? Oh, that sounds like fancy baby quack. That's Christmas. Do you know what sort of reservoir you're from, mate? But I'm going to the good side, am I not?

Oh, so you only do prawns at Tony's house? Yeah. Not at my house. You know what? I'd pop a couple of prawns on for you, Sophie. Yeah. A shrimp on the barbie for Sophie Estelle Woods. You're really backing us into the stereotype as Sophie. Would you like any lobster or champagne?

Little lobby roll. Oh, she's pro roll now. I am pro lobby roll in every situation. That is my favourite food. Do you think we could get someone Uber Eats? No. Today's going to be a big day for us on Uber Eats. No, because we're going to have a BB quah.

After that. Yeah. Oh, so BB quah gives you a pump up. You need to finish off the year. I agree. Shopping gives you the pump up. You need to finish off the year. Uh, Tapa Chelsea said, I really need a pump up.

I'm pretty close to buying a couple of goats. He's got to be kidding. Um, Jess Lane. That was a double. I didn't even do that on purpose. That's incredible. Let me send you a picture. Tell me what you see.

Nothing. Cause you're a blind. I was like, I text from Torv's. Whose dodgy is this? Tapa Jess said, my fiance recently financed my recent dopamine hit, meet Goose. A little dog named Goose. He's the gift that keeps on giving. Got my areas of a little dog with the wrong animal name.

Yeah. And let's finish with Adele who said, my husband nearly divorced me last week because of the amount of packages arriving for the dopamine hits I need. I can officially confirm I have purchased a can dispenser for my fridge full of diet cokes. Well done, Adele. No judgment, Adele. I have one a canned dispenser for my fridge full of diet cokes. Well done, Adele.

No judgment, Adele. I have one of those. Did you buy it from our Amazon store? Hi, it's Nina from California and you're listening to Tony and Ryan.

Before we get into the champion tapas, I would just like to let you know that on the table at the moment, we still have lots of cherries. We have the boxes from the sunglasses, the sunglasses and my car keys. And Tony, there's the Feng Shui of the table off. I just feel like cluttered bench cluttered mind. So you'd rather have an empty mind.

No, clear. Like, you know what I mean? But I want to keep the glasses for comedy. No, you can keep the one glasses, but I just don't think you with the box and the car keys. The car keys actually is what tipped me over the edge. Yeah, I saw it. Yeah. You just put your laptop away. Like, just everything.

I sit on the floor. Throw your microphone off the thing. A massive shout out to a few of our champion tapas. Amanda Jeffrey. Oh, it says Amanda also loves a clean bench, clean mind. That's good. Maddie also mentioned that she has a clear bench, clear mind. Thanks Maddie. Maddie with a dirty bench. She would. Ashley Springer says springer the stuff out of the way. I love it when my table's clean. Ashley loves a springer clean to make sure everything's fresh.

Yeah. Marinus Shurink probably also as well. Zoe Cowan and Albie both mentioned it. That's really coincidence chat. Huge news. Um, all right. So let's get real for a moment here. You know how sometimes you watch an old movie and you're like-

How old are we talking? Like, you know, maybe a comedy you watched when you were a kid. Oh yeah, 40 year old virgin. Yep. And there's like a few jokes where you're like, oh fuck, like you wouldn't say that now. Oh totally.

Like, and it was fine at the time, but we've evolved and we've improved as humans. And sometimes- What did you just learn? Yeah, that, yeah. And so here's where I'm at. I used to do a radio segment in Bumbree in 25th, fuck that's nine years ago. Fuck I've been doing this shit for a long time. And we've talked about Bumbree a lot, but Bumbri is like two hours south of Perth

in WA. A very, not a big city radio show, a very small Bumbri radio show. Some regional country WA. Yep. And I was a young whippersnapper in the radio game, trying out some fun ideas and segments. And I just recently thought of one the other day and I went, Oh my God, what was I thinking? And so here's where I'm at.

I'm going to, and just please know that I've, it was a long time ago and all good. Uh, so I just, what I'm saying is, is if it's fucked, we can just agree that it's fucked. And I'm just like getting it off my chest and apologizing. But if you just do that in therapy and not lie on, but if top is like it, I am prepared to do it in 2025. A 10 year reunion. If you will, I am prepared to bring it back. Okay. Hang on. So if you're prepared to bring it back, does that mean that when you just said, Oh, and we've all learned, I'm just going to gauge the, I'm just going to vibe it. Okay.

Cause I did recently watch super bad. I think I told you that and you go, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So this isn't, um, it's more of like, I don't know in, you know, how we've become like healthier in society and like more conscious of like taking care of ourselves and stuff. Um, and I would also like to point out that I didn't do this once. I did this every week for a year. So I was on some shit website and I found a doctor's outfit, like a

costume, cause you know, I love a dress up. outfit, like a costume, because you know, I love a dress up. And so I created a character called Dr. Scotch and every week people would call in and tell me what was wrong with them. Like I would call in Dr. Scotch because I'd be like, Oh, I'm heading off. But my friend might come in and then Dr. Scotch would like come into the studio. And then people would call up and say, Oh, like this is what's wrong with me.

What should I do? Dr. Scotch and I, and then Dr. Scotch would go, Oh, like, this is what's wrong with me. What should I do? Dr. Scotch and I, and then Dr. Scotch would go, Oh, sounds like you need some Scotch. And these lab coats said Dr. Scotch and had a picture like a little, so what's those like things? Nah, like a, a badge. Yeah.

Yeah. And that was like, sewed in of a little bottle of Scotch. And I would bring the bottle of Scotch into the studio and might have it in the glass because Dr. Scotch would be drinking Scotch as he was giving advice. And so it started as like a bit of fun. And then like kids would call in and because we're like, and then and then like, oh, and then be like, hey, Dr. Scotch, dad wanted to know what should I do for my runny nose? I'm like, oh, well, sounds like you need some Scotch kid.

And he goes, oh, OK, I lost dad for some. But I guess what I'm saying is that was in the past. And I'm probably not proud of it. But there was a character. I got into character. I left the studio and came back in every week for a year in my lab coat. And I had a stethoscope and then like a whiskey on the rocks. And then, cause I'd poured it, I'd like have it and then like do this segment.

And we'd take calls from the people of Bumbry and they kind of, after the first, they kind of got it. So, you know, that was like, There's not much to not get like, do you know what I mean? Like, you're like so impressed that this comedy came across. No, I mean, like, I don't know if they were really sick, but they were just like calling in. What? Oh, people on the curtain.

You don't know if they were really sick. I think one week, Nat Fife, the footballer, in Western Australia, Nat Fife is a religion. I think he did his hamstring or something, and then someone called in pretending to be Nat Fife. And I was like, oh, and I'm like, oh, tonight on the channel seven news, we'll probably have an injury report and we'll probably see Nat five with Dr.

Scotch on the news. That was a good gift from me 10 years ago. So, yeah. So, um, do you think it's age well, or do you actually think there's merit to that? I just, I also don't want to step on the doctor's toes. Yeah. Oh, true. Yeah.

There's only room Yeah. Oh true. Yeah. There's only room for one of us. Um, I think that people would just be so impressed that it's not normal. And I go, the many layers of Ryan John, most of them are normal. Would it be normal to have Scotch or nah? It's called Scotch or nah have Scotch. It's called Scotch or not. Scotch or nah. And it's always Scotch.

The answer is always Scotch. So what I'm hearing, what I'm hearing is I think for 2025, Dr. Scotch might make an appearance on the Tony and Ryan podcast. After 8 AM, right after we do birthday balls. Sounds like. After the secret sound.

Yeah. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Um, you'll be glad to know. Dr. Scotch, Scotch calling Dr. Scotch. Dr. Scotch, Dr. Scotch, wake up.

Now, wake up. Now it's Dr. Scotch. That's the opener. I'm getting a call. Do you reckon it is calling Dr. Scott, Dr. Scott, Dr. Scott, wake up now, wake up now. It's Dr. Scott. That's the opener. I'm getting a call. Do you reckon it is from Dr. Scott? I don't know. I would love to see it in 2025.

Don't know that how far you've come with your creativity. Which is strangely not that far in a very long time. No, I think like, wow, how creative for them. I might not fit into that jacket anymore. Um, I would not consider that your biggest concern. I actually think it was a t-shirt, t-shirt with a jacket drawn on. Like out to Tuxedo t-shirt. But it was like a lab coat doctor.

It just gets worse. How is the idea not as bad as what you just said? And I remember the segment was always on on Wednesday. And so on Tuesday afternoon, I have to be like, oh, where's my shirt? You know, I've got to be ready for tomorrow and get the bottle ready. The straight teamers were probably hiding it. Like your fucking boss was probably like, oh, hide that shit.

Maybe you won't do it this week. Maybe it was just like in the bottom drawer in the studio. It's like, oh, hang on, just let me get the shirt out. My co-host at the time, Rosie, also was not a huge fan of Dr. Scotch. Sounds like she needs Scotch. See? See?

It's the gift that keeps on giving. And I dare I say, probably said that twice a week for that whole year. Come on, mate, cheer up. Telling someone to cheer up. That hasn't aged well. Oh, well, it didn't go well at the time actually. So it hasn't changed over time. Yeah.

So I think it's lovely to look back on where we've been. And the great thing about where we've been is that we never need to go there again, because we've already been there. Just once in 2025? We just did it then. I said, you needed a Scotch and- And it fucking killed. You're so funny, Tony. I just needed the Scotch all this time. Would you prefer, and I know that we're not the Sex and the City podcast.

So we don't take calls. Well, we can't take live calls because podcasts playable on demand. That's what the pod stands for. I didn't actually know that. I didn't know that the pod was that. I don't know. What did I think? When tarpas demand it, it's playable on.

But what did I think pod was? Or was it just like, that's just a word. That's just a word. Like podcast, you'd be okay. Yeah. iPod playable on demand. It's always the last place you look. Oh, see, I think that I thought that that was called podcast.

Maybe now that you're reminding me of the iPod, I think maybe I thought that it just came out when Dr. Scotch said it. podcast, maybe now that you're reminding me of the iPod, I think maybe I thought that it just came out when Dr. Scott. Maybe I thought that podcast was like an apple word. Yeah. And I'm like, you listen to it on your iPod. They definitely, maybe that's where I, they definitely brought the word into the mainstream if they didn't create, you know what I mean?

They were definitely like exponents of it. Yeah. Exponents. I don't know what that word means I mean? They were definitely like exponents of it. Yeah. Exponents. I don't know what that word means, but it felt like the right place to put it. That felt like something Dr. Scotch would know. Hey, do you want me to go get him? I think he might be in the next room. He's not.

Isn't he? He's not. Do you want me to check? I might, if I go in there, I might find him. That's what I'm worried about. This close to Christmas. Anyway, I'd like to wish Dr. Scotch and his family a Merry Christmas.

So I heard that Dr. Scotch actually just got added to Donald Trump's official team. He's the health advisor for the USA. He's next to Dr. Oz. Yeah. That's not a joke. Yeah, I know. When I saw that, I was like, maybe Dr.

Scotch being in the health isn't actually that much of a stretch. It really isn't, which is probably pretty fast. Yeah. So were you going to? Oh, no, I just. Are you pro Dr. Scotch? Yeah, I think I would like to hear what people have for Dr. Scotch. Sofie likes Dr. Wine. Yeah.

No. Oh, take one wine and call me later. Oh, so fling. Oh, fully inked. Sorry, Sobe. It's a bad day to be the bottle of an- Oh, it's a bad day to be a savvy bee. It's a bad day to- Yuck, I would never.

Oh no. It's a bad day to be a savvy man, a prawn on my baby car. Oh, no. That's good. That's good. That is good. And don't talk to me until I've had my coffee. Oh, yeah. That is good. I've got to love to say it here that I actually thought was so cute when I saw it. And I'm reading it now and I'm just like, fuck, that is good. I've got to love to sit here that I actually thought was so cute when I saw it.

And I'm reading it now and I'm just like, fuck, that's adorable. I got this post in my suggested feed on Facebook. And because it's obviously getting cold, cold, cold in the northern hemisphere, there's a little PSA for people to check under the hood of your car there's a little PSA for people to check under the hood of your car to make sure that a squirrel isn't using your engine compartment as its home. And I just sent you a photo. We'll pop it into the Facebook thread for today.

They've popped the hood of this car and they have just found like millions and millions of pine cones. It says they were all jammed into the car in tight spaces and like above the wheels and stuff and took them three hours to get all of the pine cones out. Are you looking at this photo? Why are they? Why are they? How did they get in there? So there's a squirrel that's like nesting up in this car. OK. And obviously, like after they drive the car,

it's a bit warm. Yeah. And so this squirrel is putting all of its pine cones into this car and three hours it took them to get them all out. And I just thought that was so funny and so cute. I didn't make the connection between squirrel and pine cone. Yeah, right.

Okay. Well, right. Okay. Well, squirrel's not interested, but the pine cones are in. Who cares? Yeah. Isn't that so wild? And there's so many of them. Three hours. It took them to get most of them out.

It says they haven't even gotten all of them out. Now, I don't know fucking anything about mechanics and cars, but surely the, like, doesn't the heat need to get out? Is the heat getting, like, that, they can't be good for the car. That's a really good point. How is the heat need to get out? Is the heat getting like that? They can't be good for the car. That's a really good point. How is the car not lit on fire? Maybe they're not driving.

Maybe it's just parked there and they went to try and start the car and it didn't start. And they're like, there's a problem. Like, I don't know. One of the greatest joys in my life was seeing Tony see a squirrel. It was unreal. In Louisville. Yeah, I was so excited. Yeah. I started to scream.

I just had never seen one before and it was so cool. Actually the next day you saw a raccoon in a bin in Chicago. In Chicago. That was huge for us. It was huge for us, but also huge. For the raccoon. It was gigantic. He went back to-

This animal was like enormous. He went and told another raccoon. I just saw Tony Lodge. I reckon Sophie as big as Otis. Yeah. The raccoon was fucking huge. But like big fat like bum on him. Yeah.

Big shoulders. Like just a huge animal. I could not believe it. Yeah. In a bin, no less. In a bin. That seems like from a movie. It was a bit Disney like. Yeah. Yeah. But anyway, that was a real, no less. In a bin. That seems like from a movie. It was a bit Disney-like.

Yeah. Yeah. But anyway, that was a real thing that happened. But yeah, I just thought that was so cute. That is cute. That is cute. My love to see it is for Allie Davis, and I don't have her friend's name, but one of the most important women in my life, says Allie,

it was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer. After four grueling months of infusions and chemotherapy and like bone marrow tests and transfers and she is officially cancer free. She had a party like a I survived cancer party she said, you actually won't have a more wholesome, uplifting, beautiful day. Like, is there any bigger reason to celebrate? No, that's amazing. And so she had an end of chemo party and she was like, thanks to all the team and thanks to Dr. Scotch.

He's helped that out. That's amazing. But having that party, she said it was an incredible day and that only happened just last week and Ali herself has had a pretty rough year, but she's like, oh, I was having a rough year, but I was seeing my friend go through this and I was like, well, if she can go through that, then I can get through my stuff. And she's just like, what an incredible day. So Ali, thank you so much for sharing that story with us. Thank you for sharing Ali. It's really lovely to see it. That's amazing. Tomorrow,

with us. Thank you for sharing Ali. It's really lovely to see it. That's amazing. Tomorrow, confessions and we're going to go back to... Are they nice ones? We asked for nice ones. Is this... No, we did ask for nice ones. We'll get to... This is... I wouldn't say it's nice, but it's... There's a nice part and it will take us back to our childhoods and summer times. A nice part. There's a nice part before it gets very not nice at all. Oh great.
