I've got an apology. Shut the fuck up. You're perfect and I love you. The apologies to you. Oh, so... Oh, let's have it. Tony Lodge said that she was making hot chokies in the milk frouffer in her coffee machine. Using the steam ones.

I was like, you can't be doing that. That doesn't sound good for the frotha. Yeah, nah. So I've canned that. Terry, the barista, said, I can confirm that doing this does not... Hi, I'm Steele and Jackson from Chicago, Illinois. Hi, I'm Emma from Wola Walla. South Wales, Australia.

And I approve this podcast. Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. This is bestselling Dr. author, Tony Lodge. My name is Ryan. Hello. Sorry, I only said best selling platinum. Is it?

I don't know. I just usually say it five times. Oh. What does best selling, is there a platinum tier? I do not. I will, for music theory. I guess there would be, or maybe that's when you make it onto our Oprah's list or something.

Oh, okay. Like, things that if I to start saying it, then that's what it is. I think that that's what people are doing. Best platinum selling bookseller, author, Tony Lodge. Yeah, thank you. I watched voicemails for Isabel, which is like a new rom-com on Netflix on the weekend. Like a Netflix original.

Yeah, yeah. And it's rom-com weather. It is rom-com weather. And right today, we both look really cozy. But... And it's like that kind of weather right now. We just want to like cuddle up and watch something. But the irony is, is that it's...

it's summer in America and everywhere else. And that's when the rom-coms come out because it's like, summer feeling good, like out and about, like love is in the air. I've never thought that that's why they would do it at that time. But yeah.

Hemisphere, time zones. No, no, no, no, no. Not the set, but like, it feels like something that you would want to watch in winter, though. Well, is it, but winter is when you get those cheesy Christmas movies. There, yes,

but it's summer. I've gone back to my hometown in one. Wyoming and oh it's so cold. Yeah and I've met this local man who I knew in high school and loved all along. Because that's why like often during winter for us, it feels a bit dreary. Yeah. But like all the cool summer songs are like popping off. And then in summer for us, it's like not party songs at the time because it's like,

should we just like crank the split system and just lean into whatever season is in the northern hemisphere? Wherever things are being released. Like if it's summer in America, and pop party summer songs are out, let's just pump the heater and rock up in board shorts and just pretend for the whole season. Okay. And then in our summer,

put our puffer jacket to ice it right down. Walk out. Yeah. And yeah, it's fucking frosty at the moment, though. It's really cold. How was the film? It was fucking good. And I do this thing where if I'm like,

that was good, then I need to go online to see like if other people thought it was good. Yeah, yeah. Guess the Rotten Tomatoes rating. 56. 91% and I was like, right, the internet agrees. It's a fucking good rom-com. 91.

Yeah. That's high. That is high. And at the start of the movie, Bridget was like, I want to watch this. It just came out. And I was like, cool. Love that for you. I'm just going to do some work on my computer.

But hey, we've got a cup of tea. I'll sit next to you and we can kind of just be cozy doing our own thing. It's just noise. You're like, oh, it's like very inoffensive. Yeah, I reckon I lasted about 14 seconds on my computer where I was like, I am this movie. I'm so invested in every single person in it. Because something good happens in the first 14 seconds,

or you just didn't want to work? Because they're different. Both are allowed. I'm trying to not spoil it, but something good does not happen at the start. Oh. But it is, but I just,

every character, I'm full. Yeah, okay. And do you want to hear the bitchiest review from Bridget? Only if it doesn't spoil it because you often do this. No, it doesn't. It doesn't.

It doesn't. It doesn't. Okay. But I often always say that and then do. And then you do. Yeah. Because first of, the main actor is Zoe Deutsch. Wife material, really good actor, but she's really funny.

She's awesome. Sure. And you need to like know and care and love the main character or the whole thing doesn't work. Yeah. And then the actor, the main guy, he's Simon from Love Simon, if that means anything to anyone. It doesn't to me. This is what Bridget said about him. Because he's awesome.

Sure. he's the great charming guy that Glenn Power wants us to think he is sorry, yes, yeah. Glenn Powell, who's he?

He was with Sydney Sweeney in that I want to move to a street. Anyone but you? I love that movie. Oh, yeah, no, he's not that charming.

Yeah, no, I agree with that. He's pretty hot, but I don't think he's that charming. But I think he wants to be charming. Can you show me the other guy, Charles? Sure.

But he's charming. Nick Robinson. That first photo is not doing him justice. Oh, there they are. There's the two. Oh, that's them like in the movie. Oh, yeah, he looks very different with short hair. Yeah.

Oh, okay. So you are recommending? Yeah, but you know how all rom-coms, there's always like the twist or the secret or the fucking whatever? Yeah. Like all of them. It puts you the whole thing. There's a weird meat.

and then there's the secret and then, oh, they find out the secret and, oh, it's tragedy and fucking guess what happens. Anyway, this one's secret is kind of fucking creepy. Like, even through the whole movie, there's like, oh, it's a cute wrong. But that is kind of fucked, eh? Like, it's kind of fucked. It's kind of fucked. And I still don't know if it's too fucked.

Yeah, okay. Because it's not like, oh, I wrote an article, how to lose a guy in 10 days. Yeah. You found out about it. Yeah. I love that movie. Yeah. But like a classic like, while it was her job and she didn't know she loved him yet and it all works out.

Yeah. Yeah. This one's still sort of fucked. So, because you know how I've been reading like. Like you can't laugh it off in a half like. Yeah. Okay. Silly article.

Yeah. This is actually crazy. Like that's kind of fucked dude. Because you know I've been reading like romance novels. Yeah. And I was talking to a bunch of tarpas about this in like a book situation. And they were like, oh yeah, the book type is that it's. They meet, like you said.

There is two chapters of miscommunication. Yep. Oh, I thought you didn't want to be with me. No, I do. Oh, no. Then they end up together. Yep. It's the happily ever after promise or something.

Yeah. And that's kind of what you want. And this is what you get, but it's the miscommunication where you go, that's a big one. Like that is, not a small one. You're doing a very good job of selling this because now I want to go home and watch it. Yeah. And to be fair, I reckon if you watch the trailer, you probably know the miscommunication. Yeah, okay.

Are they brother and sister? I hope not because... Oh. Okay, now I want to watch it. Dude, that's a big miscommunication. Well, I'm just thinking about something that would be fucked. Like, that would be fucked. I still don't know where I stand with...

What's that movie with Sarah Michelle Galla and Ryan Felipe from the 90s? Yes, cruel intentions. Their siblings. Their step siblings is the way that they get around it. Yeah, but... Yeah, but... Stip. I think.

Like, oh, whoops and like, no. But it's the same in clueless. And it's the same in every video on ad hoc websites.

Yeah. Oh, just because your dad's fucking, my mom doesn't mean we can't. Is what they say? Is that what you watch on the weekend as well? I watch two great movies. Similar,

similar themes. Yeah. Uh, voicemails for Isabel. It is a great for what it is. Yeah. As in it's a rom-com. It's a summer slash winter in Australia movie.

settling, watch it. Oh, I want to watch it. I tell you what I also rate and would be hard to do as an actor or actress. Some of the funniest sex scenes you'll see. Now, they're not words that are meant to... Stop saying stuff about that. Does this give anything away, though?

No, it doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. And it's not, it's actually not the main one. It's like just in the, sure. In the, you know, previous life flashbacks and stuff? But you know how, like, sex scenes? You're like, no, that was the other movie I watched

just the sex scenes like aren't normally like funny yeah they're like hot or like it's you know yeah but these things are like like we were crying laughing like in a goofy kind of yeah yeah well imagine like if a girl goes oh the dating world's pretty tough and there's a flashback of all the like bad ones amazing and you're just like oh that's really funny i want to watch it don't watch it now yeah well shame you have to do a podcast oh okay well i didn't watch any movies on the weekend because i was out of my friends Hey on, let me set the scene. Last week, Tony told us that she got a pity invite from her neighbours.

No, I didn't say it was a pity invite. I said that I wondered whether it was. And it was because they said, just to let you know we're having a party, there's going to be heaps of noise. We'll keep it down. By the way, if you wanted to stop in, we would tolerate that. Is I believe what they said. And I said, you should go in strong.

We all discussed maybe making a group cocktail. Like, how can you be the fun neighbor from next door? Would you come in with a like a job or an activity? And just how do you come in hot? Because they're an established friendship group. You're just like the kooky neighbor and you're just going to roll in strong. And I feel like it's not too much to say that myself and the whole type community all weekend. Been thinking about it.

It's been thinking about it. Thank you so much for saying. I had to watch the Hawks on Friday night so I couldn't back you up. Sorry about that. No, I was thinking about you the whole time, though, of course. I hope not because I hope you were busy, having fun. So Tony Lodge, festive neighbor, house party. guest extraordinary.

Yep. So, Torbs ended up working really late. So we rolled over there at about 9.30. Pretty cool time to get to a party. What would you say the most cool? I don't know. But like,

because they said to us like, oh, 7.7.30 or whatever. And I was like, well, I'm not going to rock up like when it starts. No. Because.

Too soon. Too keen. Yeah. And that's, you know, things are warming up. They're saying a load of their. drinks first.

Yeah. Yes, I did. Yeah. But also I wasn't really sure what to expect on size. It was, like their house was full of people. I reckon there was like a hundred people there.

A hundred? Yeah. Oh. It was, it was like, picturing Charles when we're talking about. I was picturing 15. Bit more of a gas?

Yeah. More of a gap? Not party. Was that a thing when you were in high school when you're like, mom, it's not a party. It's just a gathering. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm not going to two parties this weekend. That one's just a gathering. Yeah, it's just a gather. Or gather. Yeah, we said that in Perth. Oh, no, I wasn't a fucking Bogan. Yeah, I was.

And anyway, so I was like, oh, should I go over with the cocktail? And I was like, oh, because this is a hundred people is. Who wants a margarita? I'll start slicing 44 minutes. Oh, let me start juicing last week. Oh, my God, limes are expensive. Can everyone send me some money? Yeah. I've got a QR code with my bank details.

I've actually just hired in an industrial squeezer. I've got a food truck out. the front. So at this point, though, I didn't know this. Sorry, the word industrial squeezes just tickled me because what a funny nickname for someone. That's what my friends call me. Oh, the industrial squeezes on her way. She's such a massive fucker.

She's like an industrial squeezer. Is it a, is it a compliment? No. Isn't it if you said someone's a squeezer, they're like a bit of a, like a starfucker or a bit of a, oh, I've never heard the term before. I thought you meant like a sex thing. Oh, she's such a squeezer. No.

I don't know. Anyway. Yeah, when you meet her, she will squeeze you. So I didn't know what to expect. And I decided that instead of a cocktail thing, because I was like, what if they don't drink? What if that's not really the vibe? So I didn't go for cocktail, but I did take a gift.

Charles? Do we have that? So I bought a plant and I put a ribbon around it. No. No, that's a good gift to take. to a party. Because it wasn't just like, it was like housewarming slash birthday.

Oh, okay. Sorry, I'd take back my groans. Because this is a great gift for a person, but it's not like contributing to the party. No, no, no, no,

but this was kind of like, I thought, bit of an icebreaker. I can walk in with something in my hands. That feels nice. That feels nice. Nice ribbon. Thank you so much.

Thank you. So, yeah, I rocked over there with my little house plant. I thought that would be really nice. And we walked around to the thing. And immediately I realized, like, how many people are at this party? You're like, oh, fuck.

Like, there are so many people there. And I'm like, oh, that's actually quite good because we can probably just like, not like fade into the background, but it's not walking into a room of 10 people and you're like, hi, hi, hi, you know. I can mingle. I can float around. But I can fucking disappear if I need to run my happy days. Immediately, we walk through the back gate.

I see two people sitting. there and as we walk through they kind of go hey and I know that they're not the people hosting the party but they're just patrons of this event and I go in and I go hi hey going I'm Tony like we actually live next door and I'm pretty sure we got a pity invite so we're going to like you know that's a great in thank you yes what a great icebreaker what a great icebreaker and if they weren't they would have gone no no yeah and that's what I did yeah so Alex and Tess shout out that Alex and Jess. Alex goes, he's like,

oh my God, hi, how are you? And he goes, sorry, did you just say you live next door? And I go, yeah, like literally across the fence. And he goes, they're going to be so happy you're here. And I was like, what do you mean? And they go, they've been talking about the neighbors coming all night. You're joking. You're joking.

How many neighbors did they invite? So, no. And this, this. The cool ones down the road. Oh, and you're just next door. That's not you. worry about it. So a couple of doors down, they were also there.

So I got to meet them. Oh, so it was a bit of a genuine, neighborly kind of come on over. And another, another neighbor from across the road, they were there too. Oh, my God. I know. So they were like pumped up. And then a few other people at this party that I spoke to, they were like, oh, they were really hoping neighbors would come.

And so this whole crew of the party, right, is like, she. so not the girl whose birthday it was her partner Lily she is like one of those fucking people friends from everywhere so popular then I find out that like she's the boss at her work and everyone loves her

like you know don't you hate that and then we go in there she's like Tony I'm so glad we met you know we're catching up with them like it was beautiful and it was so fun I have an honest question honest question this is an honest space obviously you've just described the greatest person ever

I know what was the split of just like respect for the greatest person ever but also like why aren't I this person a bit like well what are we doing? Yeah oh yeah

because I also moved into this street three years ago yeah what's my what have I done wrong where did I not do this or you like taking note you know where are we grew up in Melbourne Yeah. Like, and she's a north side of from birth.

Gotcha. So all of her friends still live in the area. 15 minutes circle, yep. They've, they all catch up all the time. This part, they had like a DJ, like, someone, a friend of theirs was like DJing there. The music was awesome. They'd set up, they pushed all their furniture over and like had a little dance floor. That's so it was like a grown-up house party.

Yep. You know, like they had a few things. So no one's. That was still happening. That was very much still happening. And Slay. Beat my bit and leave the answer. Yeah.

Yes. Yep, that's fine. And a bit of buying and selling going on. Oh, yeah. Loved it. I stood there with my can of a cloak of my hand. Having an absolute wail of a time. And you had a good time?

I had the best time. Yeah. Ask how long I stayed. How late were you there till? Two hours I stayed. Holy shit. That's huge for me. I was there till like 11 thirds.

That's funny because I spoke to your physio on the weekend and they said they didn't get a late-night call. So you're saying that you stayed out on your feet at night from 930 to 11-13. 11-30. 11-thirt's. Yeah. Thank you so much. Charles,

the next day, was like, how was the party? And I was like, I won't say too much. But it was good. And he was like, what time did you leave?

And I was like, 1130. And he was like, what the fuck? That's the benefit of going late. Well, yeah. You don't have to stay long.

And then you still go, oh, mate, I've put a dent in it. Yeah. And it was just. actually really fun. Yeah. Um, did you meet any new friends? Well, it was nice to make friends with some other neighbours. That is nice. Yeah. They're fresh in the street. Literally, our whole streets

turned over in the last like, yeah. Since you moved in. Yeah, actually. Like, what the fuck did we do wrong? Any questions? Yeah. Um, but so there's a few people that I hadn't met yet because like only in the last month or two they've moved in. Um, so that was actually very nice. That is nice. Um, one, one person I talked to was a fellow regional radio survivor. Who's that? She used to work as a journal in Queensland for like a grant broadcasting site. No shit. Yeah.

Which is so funny. A great survivor. Yeah. So we did like have a bit to chat about that. I will say, God, a hell is part of the music's loud, isn't it? Yeah. My throat was sore the next day. From the music?

From like, yeah? Whereabouts do you work? Oh, okay. You know? How late did they keep going? I actually don't know. We couldn't hear it. From our house, you couldn't hear it.

Yeah, so that was fine. Because I let us know if you want us to keep it down. I was like, I actually, you can't hear anything. But yeah, so I did, I did have to raise my voice. It's tough out there. Yeah, so, you know, but it was so cool. I haven't been surrounded by that. Like, being to a house party like that in so long, I felt like awesome.

Incredible scenes. Yeah. So I'm really proud of myself for going. Yeah. Do you have any numbers? We had any boys or anything? No. Can you believe that?

I know. This. Not a single number. Can I tell you one of the great cock blocks? Yes. Taking your fiancé. Not a good move. No, you're right.

You know what? She'll left you my home. He's working late. I'm just going to check the mail. Just going to put the bids out for four hours. Hi, I'm Emma from Florida. I'm Amber from Walla Walla, New South Wales, Australia. Hi, I'm still from Chicago, Illinois.

You're listening to Tony around. A massive shout out to a few of our champion Tappers over at our Patreon. Lauren Davies, good on you, Lauren. Regan Schwartz, thank you so much, Regan. Melissa Tomandel, thank you, Melissa. Erica Dunn. Might be related to you. Maybe.

What's Erica done? Not much. Good on you, KKK. Not reached out to her cousin. That's what you haven't done. Nailil Gassiendez. Thank you, Naya Lil. Claire Fuller, Still Fitzwater, and Jonathan Roll.

Now, we do have some big news. What was your neighbours named, Lisa? Lily. Nye and Lil. No. No. No, Lil. We do have some big news, a bit of an update.

There is only two spots remaining to come to Fiji with us for podcast away. So round. So this current round closes tomorrow. Yep. So what, 30 something hours left? Or maybe not tomorrow. Maybe the next day. I can't do fucking maths.

But there's two spots left. So we'll be awarding that one soon. And then there's only one spot remaining. Yeah. But if you want to get in this round, in 25 words or less, you've got to answer the question. You've only got 30 hours or so to sign up. So get involved.

We would love to hang out with you in Fiji. We promise it'll be lots of fun. We're there. Other tarpers are there. And Charles, actually, can we confirm? We can. Do you want to share the news that we've just booked in? We are booked for to record an episode on a little island in Fiji.

Just the tarpers and us. We are going by boat to our own tiny little island. We'll be spending the day doing. Like, there will be other people there as well. We've just got a more section. Not, it's just a private island. I won this private island on Beast Games and we'll be going in for the day. We'll be recording a podcast episode on the island, but we'll be there for the whole day, right?

There's a bar and there's activities. Snorkeling, stand up paddleboarding. That's going to be on our own little island with others. I've already packed my prescription snorkel goggles. I wore Lily's prescription sunglasses in the office yesterday. Yeah. They're really... Wasn't that awful.

They make you feel out time. That's what I'll, I'll be walking like that when I leave the island. Yeah, you'll be on the boat like, whoa. We've decided we're going to do the episode early. Yes. So then we can have fun later. Yes. On the boat as well, there and back, you can also buy drinks on the boat.

How long's the boat? It's about 25 minutes. We'll get two in. Oh my God, I'll have a sip and fall asleep. But two spots remaining. Yeah, Patreon.com slash Tony and Ryan. And am I not mistaken that if you signed up now, you'd get a little two for one? Well, you could.

Yeah. Because you can sign up for round seven and then enter round eight in three days time. So, that's a good loophole. Economical. Yep. Climb that on tax. That's not true. I've got an apology that I'd like to make.

No, you know what? Shut the fuck up. You're perfect and I love you. The apologies to you. Oh, say. Oh, let's have it. Last week, Tony Lodge said that she was making hot chalkies in the milk frouffer in her coffee machine. Using the steam wand.

Using the steam one. Then I was like, I turned my nose and I was like, bro. So I haven't done it since because I didn't want to suck it up. I was like, you can't be doing that. That doesn't sound good for the froth. Yeah, so I've canned that. Well, we have a barista on our team and it's Tarpa Terry. Hi, Tarpa Terry.

Because as you know, if you go to our website, you can see the Tony and Ryan team. There's actually 4,000 people that were here. Yeah. We have witches. The Christmas party's crazy. Yeah. Terry, the barista said, I can confirm that doing this does not. hurt the steam wand.

It is actually the perfect and superior way to make a hot chockey with chocolate powder or Milo. I'm a barista, I would know. So Tony Lodge? Yes. I'm sorry that I doubted you. But it's great news for everyone. It is great news for everyone. And I did.

Oh, let me tell you what I did last night. Let me tell you the move I pulled out last night. You kiss me on the fanny. Two moves. Who's birthday one? I've recently... It was my method yesterday. Yeah, and Tony's like, where would you like to go for dinner?

And I was like, down there. I was like, what do you want to eat? And he went out. Yeah. That would actually be very sexy. Can you imagine that? I can. Guess what we're having for dinner tonight.

I've pulled a frozen lasagna out of the fucking freezer. You know how we recently discussed T2? I made a trip there to Doncaster. Tapa shout out. Tapa Mel. She hooked me up with the... sticky date latte. Oh, yum.

So what I... I've got to go. That sounds so fucking yum. So what I do did last night is I brewed the tea. And then with our newfound knowledge, stop it. I added milk. You did not.

And frothed it in the steam up. Get the hell out. Yeah. And then tucked a little honey in there. I'm surprised I made it to work this morning. I would have stayed in bed. Yeah. That's perfect.

It really is. Did it really warm up your tummy? You know how that... That feeling, there's like nothing like it. It warmed up my tummy. It warmed up my soul. It warmed up my heart. And it warmed up things that I didn't even know were cold.

It cured depression. And you know what? That's what T2 is saying. Yeah. T2 are on the record saying that. And I crushed up my antidepressants and also put that in the steam wand. So that might be related, but we're not sure. There's no info about that.

I'm actually, That's great news. Yeah, it's huge. I appreciate the apology, but more I'm celebrating the information. Yeah, and same. Yeah, that's awesome. And did not celebrate last night. Yeah.

Now, last week we talked about what does, what is the Christian government name of places and what do locals actually call it? Yeah. Because I went to the Elizabeth Key and the locals are calling it Betty Jetty, which is incredible. Now, Taffirs have taken some liberties here because I don't know just how official some of these names are. Yeah, okay. Hey, we're in the comedy section. Yeah.

Let's roll on through. Yeah, okay. Ask no questions. Christy Jevins. Hi, Christy. Type of Christy. I used to live in a small town in Western Queensland, which is set in the scene. Western Queensland doesn't feel like words that go together.

Yeah, it really doesn't. So what's that like the border of the NT and? Well, like just not the, yeah, just desert. Like out back. Fuck. Yep. There was a section down by the. river called the baby factory because that's where a lot of people would sneak off and get it on

and many humans have been conceived down near that river so you're at a house party and these two walk off holding hands they go where they're going down to the baby factory baby factory isn't that grim it is a big green yeah anyone at the house party just wander down to the baby factory but that's like it's not just like it doesn't mean like leaving it means like there's a specific part along the river where people just go and sneak off do their beers and then come back to the party i actually think there's a place in eltham that i don't know about the baby part but it's definitely where teenagers sneak off to get it done yeah i mean me and beach went down there one day and we saw these kids going on and you were like whoa let's turn left yeah um yeah i reckon that

there would probably be something like that in most yeah place thanks christie yeah and she's like it's not the actual government name i was like i fuck it better isn't oh what do you mean your premier didn't come out and go. Cut the ribbon. Yeah. Baby factory. Diane Reynolds. Hi, Diane.

Tapa Diane. Nice. Do you know where my mind went? Like a Diane sauce. Same. Yeah. Well, no, it didn't. You did the same.

My brain set felt that. Yeah. What's a Diane sauce? Is that like a peppercorn? It's like a gravy-ish, but I think it's like a red wine. Or am I thinking of a red wine? You're thinking of a ju. Can you type in Diane sauce, Charles,

and I feel like it looks like a gravy with red wine. Is it like a peppercorn one? Peppercorn. But isn't that the peppercorn? It's like, maybe. Suspensis. Oh. Oh, it's mushroomy.

Oh, mushrooms. Charles, type in what is a dian sauce. Butter, shallots, garlic. Conyct. So you're right. But mustard and heavy cranks. We were both right. That look.

How excellent. I didn't know what dion sauce was. I like that. That sounds delicious. Couldn't you. fuck a steak with Diane sauce right now. Like that would actually kill. Oh yeah.

Oh yeah. Don't shove it up your. Shave it up here pussy. Sorry about that weird accent that just came out. Atah for Diane Reynolds. From Wisconsin. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

That's Wisconsin. Is it? Oh, yeah. Oh, Marge. Did you know if in Detroit and you head south, you end up in Canada? What? Yeah. Detroit.

Mm. That's not in Canada. No, it's America. But if you head south from Detroit, you end up in Canada. What does that mean? That's what it means what it says. But South isn't that? Unless you turn the map up.

It is in Detroit. Is it? There's Detroit and you head south and that is Canada. Whoa, really? That's so cool. How interesting. You fucking every day is a learning opportunity. Yeah.

I tell you how I stumbled into that. is because I've gone down a real rabbit hole on TikTok since I learned that the new Sydney direct to London flight goes over the North Pole. Oh, you'll see Santa. They don't go left, they just go over the back. And doesn't that just seem like crazy? That's not allowed.

Yeah, so then my algorithm went, oh, weird geography shit. Got it. And then someone's like, did you know this? And I was like, no, Detroit is further north than someplace in Canada. You fly over Canada to get to London from Sydney. That flight that goes over the North Pole feels to me like wrong. And also, why haven't we ever thought about doing that before?

Turns out we have that a lot. Because you and I don't fly the planes, we just sit in them. But when you fly from Australia, like Melbourne or Sydney to like Santiago or Chile, you can't go South Pole. Oh, do you? A little bit. Wonderful. A little bit.

Also, I looked up Tokyo to London. they can fucking go all sorts of ways. How far is that? Oh, sorry. Because you can go North Pole or you can go across that way or you can go across the other way or you just flip it over the back. Like it's, no. Oh, yes.

Shut up. But it's like, it's, the world is an amazing place. I agree. Here's what Diane Reynolds has to say. Oh, yeah. Hi, Diane. Speaking of global, worldly things. Little ditty about type of Diane.

there used to be a food place on the Gold Coast called Kev's Diner although most surfers knew it as the Chew and Spue So after a big night, going, get a bit of a chew and on your way out, give a bit of a spew and head on home The Chew and Spue is so grim

Shout out to Kev's Diner on the Gold Coast Oh, the chew and spew That's so upsetting Have you ever Ever felt like this thought that a conversation about how do you get from Tokyo to London would involve Kev's diner from the Gold Coast. Or Detroit.

So true. Yeah. So spew. The true and spew. Courtney Wooten. Another Woot. Lady Woot. The Dubbo Woot, I'll call her.

Dubbo Woot. May I present to you the government slash Christian name being St. Bridget's Church in Dubbo. But because the building is like, it's a really hectic structure and it kind of looks like a catapult, sort of. Everyone in Dubbo calls the church the Nunn Launcher. Oh, I had null down to the Nun Launcher. And then classic. The Nun Launcher.

A local craft brewery opens up across the street. You know how cool craft breweries got cool names? They've called themselves. And have look at this picture. The Nun Launcher is the name of the beer. But then look at the building. It kind of does. Is that the church in the background?

Yeah. Oh. Like someone's got, it looks like you're fucking slinging nuns from there. Slinging. You're launching nuns from the St. Bridget's in Dubbo. That is amazing. I love the beer can.

The logo is amazing. That is so great. God, that name really punches you, doesn't at the nun launcher? Well, if that punches you, so does the taste of the pale ale.

Oh, an excellent drop. When I'm in Dubbo looking for a pale ale, the only double pale ale I'll get is the Nun Launcher. Yeah. Nun Launcher. We do know her. Yeah. Excellent.

That's really great. Yeah. And again, not the Christian government name. Unlike the baby factory, which has been named by the local authorities as such. I got your love to see it here. And thank you so much to tarpa Kate Smiley for sending it through. Hi, Kate. Now, do you remember the name of our first ever episode?

T-Pain and Tinder Bios. Yep. Now, fuck, that's good. There's this guy who plays football for New Zealand called Tim Payne, I believe. Like football, like soccer. Like soccer player in the World Cup at the moment. Oh, cool. And he's been one of, like, you might have seen stories.

He had like 100 followers three weeks ago and now he's got five million. It's like, you know how every Olympics or World Cup? Like the world just discovers a sweetheart and he's like this one. 1,000% yeah. So anyway, um, DoorDash has, you know, everyone's tweeting about the World Cup and the sponsors are getting around it. Yeah. And everyone's talking about this guy, Tim Payne. And they tag at T-Pain and it's actually the rapper.

Like, they keep tagging the wrong person. Hilarious. And Tim, sorry, and T-Pain the rapper is like. Who the fuck? He's getting real fucked off. Like. Oh. Oh, he's like not being good sport about it.

Oh, but he's just like, like, I know, like, yep, you're tagging the wrong guy. Um, so, hang on, can you put that on the screen, Charles? Like, who do you think you're tagging? Oh, so T-Pain has, has shared the tweet and been like, stop. Oh, but there's the ball to T-Pain. Yeah. But then there's like lots and lots of them. And he's like, I don't even play football.

Please stop tagging me. Like, and so he's just like, real. really like the first time I think he was like wrong guy well after in the beginning you probably wouldn't even notice yeah and now he's like people are doing full brand campaigns and tagging me in all of them

and he's just trying to go about his day raising the roof or whatever he does now yeah so this is kind of related but it is one of my favourite old stories do you remember when Casey Donovan won Australian Idol sure um so she is like a Australian singer, she won Australian Idol when she was 16. Yeah, fuck.

And when it was, it would be like on the Wednesday night, on the episode of Australian Idol, they would be announced as the winner. And part of the deal was that like they got their own website built. Great. Like that was one of, because back in the day, that was a bit, I'm talking like. You get a deal with Sony, a new single and we'll have a website and a Westfield tour, all lined up, ready to go. Exactly.

So this is probably in like 2005 or something, like a long, fucking. time ago. But on the TV show and then like the Telstra website had the link to the website on or whatever. They put the wrong website on there and it was supposed to be Caseydonovan.com.com. But they put Casey Donovan.com. And Casey Donovan.com or whatever it was was a porn star. Yeah, okay.

And so all of these people are like, oh, I want to go support Casey Donovan. I've been watching this wholesome family TV show. And I'm so excited to support this six and this young girls like the launch. for her singing career and all these people end up his poor website and this guy wakes up and he goes god my website's had some hits over night like what's going on really well there's the entire Australian public went to his website he goes oh I'm having a spike in Australia at the moment goes yeah god they're loving it down under you know when I did that radio show with Lauren Phillips yes the one that I yes that's where we met yes and I said something like can we

Google Lauren Phillips and she goes, I wouldn't do that. Charles, can you Google Lauren Phillips? Because she also has someone with a similar name. Oh, adult star. Who is in the adult industry. Oh, yeah. So when you Google Lauren Phillips. There's some of LP in there, but a lot of it is.

Yeah. Yeah. Because there's a throwaway line on, because Lauren has done a lot of the Lauren we know, a lot of cool things and a lot of famous friends. And I was like, And so was Lauren Phillips the Pornster. Yeah, but I said on the radio, I was like, oh, I'm like, Lawrence on he's crazy.

Like Google Lauren you. And she goes, I wouldn't say that. Yeah, that is so funny. And did you just go? Oh, there we go. Oh, here's Ryan John. Yeah. Oh my God.

That's huge. But, yeah, that is very, very funny. I love that. Poor T-Pain. It's going through it. Poor T-Pain. But also poor T-Pain, because he wants the, the, at. Yeah.

Also. He's like, I want to see all this stuff. Tim Payne, another Tim Payne. used to be the captain of the Australian cricket team. Oh. And he's like currently the coach of Adelaide, but might be the coach of Brisbane. And any time there's,

but it's like, because it's the off season, you know, a bit of movement. And every time there's an article where it's like, Tim Payne considering move to Brisbane, then of course the algorithm goes, ha! That from the World Cup is going to Brisbane.

Teapang is moving to Brisbane. I've got to you love to see him from. Taylor Gaya. So another tea. It's a tea day. It's a big tea day. Taylor says, I have you love to see a bit of a start the blog story that I am so proud about.

I've just launched my little side hustle and hobby in brackets, not a business for tax purposes. We see what you've done there, Taylor and we respect it. Don't either register for GSD. On Instagram this past week, I'm a small artist that is based in Central West, New South Wales in Orange. Not too far from the Nun Luncher.

The Nun Luncher. Non-launcher. Non-launcher. Non-launcher. The non-launcher. I've managed to sell a few of my originals and done a few commissions, which is amazing and I feel really privileged. However, I was just approached by a small country pub in the town near us to do a massive mural for their outdoor area. That's fucking cool.

What a mural? That's crazy. She says, I'm so excited and really proud of myself for kind of putting myself out there. The Insta is T-A-Y-L-A-H-Taylor. So you can have a look and follow the journey of the mural being painted. Isn't that so cool? I can't get my head around. Why are you laughing about the local?

Is it the non-launcher but Bury? And I laugh is because you had a slight pause in the middle of the word tree. Tree pub. So she meant this small tree tree. Tree pub. Come, tree park. Um, murals, I can't get my head around how they can get their head around it. I don't understand the scale.

Yeah, and I'm the same when they print a sponsor on the grass at the football. I don't understand that. Because how come sometimes you look at it and sometimes it's not there. But the precision in the painting when you, they can't, because when you're on the ground, you can't really make it out. No. It's like you need something on the top of the stand going, yeah, a bit more blue to the left. Go to the left. Yes.

Yes. No, that is crazy. And it's all what the perspective is like, like it looks like it's standing up. Yeah. How do they do that? I don't know. Charles, you're about to ruin our day? Oh, no. It's just like, because it's made for the cameras for TV.

Yeah, but then how do they do that? Well, you have a camera and then you can like see that from that position. So does the man have a little monitor down there while he's painting it? He could or could just be like on the side button or something. So like you can verify. Is it like when a surgeon looks at the camera instead of looking at, actually inside you. I think so.

All right, well, we're up. Okay, I'm going to go think about that for a while. Yeah, see ya. Tomorrow, hooking you through. Last week we tried to tell a story from Ashley Was, and we got distracted because we started saying Was Up and recording a new voicemail message. The voicemail, oh, that voicemail's got me a bit of trouble, actually.

Well, we'll get to that, but more importantly, we can finally actually get to the Ashley Was story. Oh, my God. I was on the edge of my seat. Well, sorry. And it's a follow-up to Tony's grandma who blended and froze the bill so no one would steal her.

And so Ashley's got a, well, if you think that grandma's fuck, have a listen to my one. My fuck, grandma! That's what we're calling it. See tomorrow. Love you, bye!
