Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Author Tony Lodge. Hello. And we are calling Chandra. Welcome to the podcast. AI has taken over.

The robots have gotten us. Walk out. The Tony Lodge robot's not very good. Welcome to the podcast. Can you imagine? If people were like, wow, AI really is going to take, and that's what it sounded like. So anyway, let's call Chandra in Toronto. Yep, might as well.

Yep. I wonder if Chandra will be able to tell that I'm a robot. Hello? Hello, is that Chandra? Chandra! Hi, it is. It's Tony and Ryan. How are you doing?

Wonderful. So excited to hear from you guys. We want to just make sure. Is it Chandra Ryan. How are you doing? Wonderful. So excited to hear from you guys. We want to just make sure, is it Chandra or Shandra or Shandra? It is Shandra, but I answered to all versions. Oh, well, great. Because I did say I'm pretty sure it's Shandra, and we all just said we'll just back in all different types of names.

Tony backed it in before we called. I did, yeah. Excellent. Will you approve today's episode? I'd love to. Oh, good on you, Shandra. Will you approve today's episode? I'd love to. Oh, good on you, Shenandra.

This is Shandra from Saskatoon, living in Toronto, and I approve this podcast. Sorry to break protocol, but I have you love to see it right off the top of this episode. Oh my God, is that allowed? We've never, that's actually in all the time of this podcast has never happened before. I got myself a hot coffee earlier this morning because I was the first in the office. Yep. Flex. Well, just there's no one else here.

What time did you get here? Pretty early. Pretty early. What time? Just like to beat the traffic. Oh no, that's fair enough because now that I live out in the country, I actually feel it. You don't live out in the country.

I feel it. And I also was up with Mabel at about 3.30 this morning and it gets to a stage where I go, if I'm just going to lay here awake. I might as well do something. Go in and do something. Yeah. So I get myself a hot coffee on the way in. Tony, being the lovely lady she is, gets a couple of iced coffees.

Yes, you're going to want to shake that because that's almond milk and that's settling in the bottom yeah I'm now living the dream where I've got a hot coffee in my left and a cold one in the right and I love it here I am stuck in the middle with you I don't know if that would like throw some people off balance wise but for me this is fucking pretty good

my dream in life is to always have three drinks. Okay. For example, at breakfast time, I like to have a coffee, hot or cold. Yep. I like to have some freezing cold water. Yep.

And then I'd also like to have some juice. What did you see yesterday at my house yesterday when you glanced over to my desk? Glass, and it had some like orange pulp around the side like I'd known that you'd just had like an orange juice like that morning. And what else is always on my desk? A coffee cup. And? A water bottle.

You've got to always be triple parked and that's a breakfast thing and at night time. We've got to rehydrate. You need a little bit of sugar to kind of like get you going. And a little bit of coffee to just fucking get like also get you going. But yeah, like if I had like a green juice and a coffee and a water, like set me right up. You know what I mean?

Guys, today's going to be a great day. But I've only got one drink. I've got two actually because I've got my water bottle. Would you like it? I don't have a juice. Open your mouth. I'll spit. Open my mouth or something else.

Sorry. Coming up today yep we are going to revisit the start of the year we said our ins and outs of 2023 i just got hungry oh we're going to have to address that soon yep okay uh ins for 2023 uh announcing hunger as soon as it hits also in hash browns um but first let's do normal or nah Thank you for submitting them to the Tony and Ryan podcast Facebook group Which is getting pretty large on the way to 100,000 people We're almost a full MCJ Almost a full MCJ

That's 100,000 isn't it? Yep Yeah crazy Rachel asked normal or nah Hi Rachel I assimil You need a fourth drink. All right, yeah.

You need another drink on the go. I'm so parched over here. Open your mouth. I'll spit in your mouth. Anyway. I simply cannot bite into a large block of chocolate. I have to break the rose off and then eat the rose. Obviously.

That's what I thought. That's what Rachel thought. But Rachel's friend just like opens the block and just like, Rachel asked, am I normal or nah? As in like, for instance, like a Cadbury. Dairy milk, full stock block. But like what you would consider like a block of chocolate, not like a bar, like a single use bar. Yeah full stock block. But like what you would consider like a block of chocolate, not like a bar, like a single-use bar.

Yeah, a block. A block of chocolate with the rows of like four bits or five bits or whatever. Who's biting into that? A psychopath. Who hurt you? Who hurt you? Your parents obviously divorced. What is the biggest crime against chocolate?

Is it this or is it that time Kim Kardashian broke the Kit Kats the wrong way? Like vertically instead of like across the, yeah. Or when you bite into a Kit Kat, like if you've got a four-finger Kit Kat, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Hideous. Yeah. Sorry to start the show this way.

Yeah. Now I feel weird. You started with you love to see it. We were really riding high. I feel weird. You started with you love to see it. We're really riding high now. I feel weird. I feel strange. But I think I just don't understand how that could even be more practical because a block of chocolate is normally like quite thick.

Thick, yeah. There's three Cs on that. Like actually biting into a block of chocolate, you wouldn't get the satisfaction, I don't think, because it would just be like a job. So I don't know if this is a normal or not for me or just maybe I need to see a dentist or have some Sensodyne. Yeah.

For me, in general, biting into something with my front teeth kind of gives me the heebie-jeebies. Like biting into a chocolate, biting into an icy pole, like front teeth. That's me the heebie-jeebies. I like sort of like biting into a chocolate, biting into an icy pole, like front teeth. That's illegal. Yeah. Okay. I've got an offshoot normal or nah.

Do you pre-break a bar of chocolate, like a block of chocolate, sorry, or do you kind of like break it off as you go? As you go. If I find out you're a pre-breaker, I'm fucking fucking starting a true crime podcast you know when you like break off a row yeah and you like take the whole row yeah and you like bite down on it yeah like bite the bits off or something because you don't want your hands like get all chocolatey i'll let my hands get chocolatey oh i can't because i can't i my hands being dirty is like a i can't but if you did-break, and I'm not a pre-breaker at present, I'm just thinking maybe it would be better.

If you pre-broke, that'd be easy. You just take a little nummies like here and there. You're right and it's wrong because it is too easy. If I've broken the next row. If there's no work to be done. It's essentially I've already just eaten two rows then. Oh, I see what you mean. I might break the next row. If there's no work to be done. It's essentially I've already just eaten two rows then. Oh, I see what you mean. I might break the next row.

Oh, it's already broken. Oh, man, I might as well take it. Because you could just like run past the fridge, take a little nummies and on your way. On the way through, yeah. Whereas if you go, oh, I've got to break it, my wife's going to hear the paper rustling. Like everybody then knows that you've done it.

It's the same with the Tim Tam packet. The paper rustling. They are so noisy. The paper rustling is actually a big issue in my life right now because it's really hard to sneak a couple little choccies in. You can't sneak anything. Oh, what's that? I go, fuck.

You go, oh, just something for work. Oh, it's just a dried apricot. Yeah. Oh, it's actually just a bit of celery that I was going to have without peanut butter. Oh, my goodness. Well, that's never happened in the world. I know.

Kevin says, Hi, Kevin. My friends hate when I'm the car DJ because I only listen to a song for like 30 or 40 seconds. I hear the good bit. I enjoy it. I press skip. I move on.

Am I normal or nah? Says Big Kev. I unfortunately have to say normal because I get so excited about sharing things with people that I go, oh, now listen to this one. Oh, no, this one's so good. And I get so pumped that I can't, like, not skip because I want to show people so much stuff. So if you're like, Ryan, jump in the car,

we've got to run 10 minutes down the road, and you're like, listen to my 100 songs of this playlist I just listened to. Well, as you know, I wouldn't go a minute in the car without queuing up a Spotify playlist or at least queuing up a few songs. Don't go anywhere without it. So, yeah, I probably would. But if we were chatting, probably would i well i would probably skip without thinking about like that would probably be just because i would do that in

the car because i'd be like i'm a bit bored of this and go next i am a skipper i'm a repeater if i if a song just hits right i can listen to it five times in a row yeah see i do that when a song first comes out and then i freaking hate it. Yeah, same, same. Worrying trends sneaking into normal or nah, you'll hear it when you hear it. Okay. And it might – Should I, like, brace myself or something? No, like, it'll just remind you of one from last week and I think we'll just go, are the tapas all right?

Like, you know. Oh, okay. Hilary asked normal or nah. When you see a black garbage bag On the side of the road You try not to stare But you get a good enough look Just to see if it's a body or not Oh my god

Was it last week that someone said When you're driving along And you go oh Could put a body there Oh yep that'd be a good spot for a bod Out for 2024 True Crime Podcast It's incepting us people are getting too comfortable

with sharing their thoughts as well i feel and i speak for myself there yeah i don't if anyone on the internet is gonna be like oh i wish i didn't hear that yeah yeah i mean i know that i've said some horrible crap but but we've all learned from it. Thank you. Yeah. I mean, you know that bit in the Simpsons movie where he goes to dump the body, like Fat Tony goes to dump the body in the lake and they go, oh, no more dumping in the lake. And he goes, okay, we'll just take our yard trimming somewhere else. And then like Lou is like, I think that was a body chief. And he's like, no, I thought that too.

But then he said yard trimmings. Got to learn to listen, Lou. And like that really makes I thought that too. But then he said yard trimmings. I've got to learn to listen, Lou. And, like, that really makes me laugh. Yeah, it's fantastic, yeah. Like, it's just, like, so obviously a body. But, I mean, how many – maybe I'm opening up Pandora's box of worms, but how many bodies do people think are being dumped or popped in a bag and, like, hidden in plain sight?

This sounds like a question for Billy. Like, is this happening that much that we need to be, like, inspecting bags from our neighbours, like, and making sure that they're safe, body free? I think what true crime has reminded us of is that, you know, how the freaky part of a lot of the true crime stories. Could happen to anyone. Yeah, but they also, like, oh, he killed the guy and then went to work or like it was just like so casual yeah that's yeah

that is tapped if those casual guys are just dropping it over there then heading off to kfc like who's to say and you know wouldn't you love to be in a netflix stocko i mean if you have to choose maybe not that genre as long as you weren't the perpetrator. Like if it was about you because- Mate, showbiz is showbiz. If you want that Netflix deal. That's true. Yeah, yeah. And it's me just doing a type five.

I'm like, I'd love a Netflix special. Well, I've pitched Tony and Ryan for a Netflix special. Have you? Yeah, and they were like, nah. And I was like, how many guys would I need to off? Nah, you go- To get a- So, yeah, we'd love to do comedy.

They're like, oh, would you? That is funny. We wanted to do a true crime documentary because your podcast is just a train wreck. Fuck. Take care, everyone. Yeah. Seriously. Let's finish on a better note.

This is Rowena. Hi, Rowena. Rowena Parade. That's a big street in Perth. Thanks for letting us know. Coincidence Chat was actually yesterday, so if you want to email that to them. Do you know the other day, did you see my comment in the Facebook group and I was like, CCW, Coincidence Chat warning?

And I think that maybe we should let people know if we're going to enter into Coincidence Chat. Trigger warning, that's our Coincidence Chat warning. Yeah, so CCW. Okay. No, I appreciate that. Thanks. Rowena says,

my husband licks the flavour off a potato chip before biting into and eating the chip. It kills me, says Rowena. She'll be sitting on the couch like, what the fuck is this? Maybe that's... And then bites into it. Is he normal or nah?

I think I did that as like a kid. Once to find out what the flavour was? You know, but I'm... You grew the fuck up. Yeah, I'm going to say nah, but I'm sure that there are people that do it. Do you know what I know that I do, which I think is maybe disgusting?

I'm a finger licker. Do we have time for this? I'm a finger licker. Like after I eat, like I like to like... Oh, that's annoying. It may be disgusting. I'm a finger licker. Do we have time for this? I'm a finger licker. Like after I eat, like I like to like. Oh, that's annoying. The sound of that is annoying. Yeah, but like what else are you going to do? Wipe your hands with a serviette like a fucking adult.

You don't always have a serviette, especially at home. You've got a whole house. You've got a linen cupboard of hand towels, towels, regular towels, tea towels. Then you have to do this walk through the house where you're like, oh, wash my hands, you know? You know when you do like the claw walk to like wash your hands? Like if you've eaten like- Do you have a serviette by you when you eat at the table?

Not at home. Are you doing that at home? Well, I'm not walking around doing the claw grip. But you know the walk I'm talking about? No, because I'm not an animal. After you eat chicken wings or something and you're like, don't touch anything, like I've got to like get to the bathroom or the toilet or whatever.

I have once picked, I was mid-pizza watching the football and wanted to like change the volume. So I tried to like use the back of my hand. Oh, yeah, and you've done the claw grip or like tried to do it with your like just one finger or something. But then the irony is you go and like clean your hands, do that one thing and then go back to eating the wings. Yeah.

But do you always sit down with like a serviette at your like if you were eating dinner or whatever you would like set the table with a serviette serviette really well just to save that oh i've just never thought like in a restaurant or whatever obviously there was some sort of thing because you know how many different towels you got you got a bath towel you got a hand towel yep you've got like a tea towel yeah absolutely um don't never leave home without it uh i think what are they called it you know there's like that little towel that you'd have in the sink that's just like a oh yeah like a little sponge or something like that like i feel like you're in a place with all of these up maybe yeah all of these options yeah ready at your disposal i know And you choose none of them. But if I was like sitting on the couch and I was like just needed a quick lick

to change the TV or answer a phone call, you know, What about when you get Uber Eats and there's like a napkin in the bag? If there's a napkin in the bag, I'll obviously use that. Or if we had paper towel there for whatever, I would obviously use that rather than like lick my fingers. Would you? But I've never thought about serving dinner with a serviette. Maybe we should do that.

Tableware. Maybe for your Secret Santa, someone, which is tomorrow. Yeah. Someone could get, you know how you can get like almost like, it's just like a regular-ish like paper serviette so you just use one and throw out. Like a napkin. Yeah, but then you get like almost like a decorative little thing where they all sit in and it's a napkin. Yeah, but then you get almost like a decorative little thing

where they all sit in and it's kind of nice. Yeah, but single use, that's out, isn't it, for 2023? That is out. Baby wipes. Well, I don't have a baby so they're not like in full- Baby wipes are all use. No, no, no, but we don't have them in our house. They are multi-use if you have them because we never bought them. What if we just call them wet wipes?

I'll bring you some wet wipes. We've got some dog ones. You know Dog by Dr. Lisa, that brand? Yeah, we've got those for Pippa. Maybe I'll just use those dog ones. Yeah, that would be great. Keep my coat so shiny. Hi, this is Shandra from Saskatoon living in Toronto,

and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout-out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon. Once again, all subscribed to the same Patreon. Isn't that wild? You wouldn't believe it. You wouldn't read about it. Rebecca Denom. Thank you, Rebecca.

Big Beck. Yep. Paige Madewell. You bet it is. Paige Madewell. Made poorly. Okay. Kaya.

What's a good review if you're a website developer? Easy to click on. Paige Madewell. I thought that would have been pretty obvious. Sorry, no. Well, I'd already said Kaya, so I was like, what? Kaya Snow, good on you, Kaya. Mr. Wallert and fucking guy.

Yeah, I am. Whoa. Yeah. The start of the year, we did our ins and outs for 2023, and I thought it'd be fun to review and see if our predictions were correct, if we lived up to our own expectations. Yeah. Or if we regret what we suggested, which I don't remember mine.

So this is genuinely a blast from the past. First in for Tony Lodge. This is your words. Being honest, no empty offers. If someone offers you a chocolate or a vanilla cupcake, choose, don't say, I don't mind. I think that I have done that this year. I disagree.

Remember, where did you have lunch yesterday? Oh, I had lunch with you at your house with your beautiful wife and baby. Yeah. Yeah. And I said, I've got a chicken katsu sandwich or a chicken snitty sandwich. I want to do. And I said, oh, I've got a chicken katsu sandwich or a chicken snitty sandwich. And what did you do? I said, I don't mind, but only because I wanted your wife to pick first because, like.

So the question is, which would you prefer? But she'd been up with the baby, so I was like, oh, like I want you to pick because it was three really good things and I was like, I want her to pick the best thing. So when it's like, I'm not going to just be polite, I'm just going to – if the question is which would you prefer? But I didn't prefer one. I think it doesn't – is it different if like one thing I don't want

and one thing I do and I go, oh, after you, like you pick first. If I actually have a preference, I'm happy to like – the other night, you remember the other week in sydney when we were um ordering dinner and i said and you were like oh should we get this place i was like no i don't want that yeah i would have never done that before that's true that is gross i'd say and then we ended up eating like a lot of meat yeah a lot of meat yeah yeah um we didn't have sex because we were both so full. So bloated, yeah. Couldn't even see it. Mine. Tony's second in for 2023.

I do remember this one, I think. Free-to-air television. All this streaming has put me back onto free-to-air television, said Tony Lodge. It all morphs into in-store shopping. I don't know what that refers to. It all morphs into in-store shopping. I don't know what that refers to. It all morphs into in-store shopping. Oh, as in like eventually you go, oh, imagine if I didn't have to wait

for postage and I just went to the shop and bought this thing and then you go, wow, it's full circle. That's actually possible. Yeah, yeah. How'd you go with Free to Air this year? I actually think we still have been watching it because we watched heaps of sport. Yep.

Like we watched the Tillys, like we watched heaps of the world cup um pippa always watches free to air tv she loves larry emder she always watched the chase yeah um and actually you know what how like with the writers strike there's like no new stuff really coming out i feel like we've kind of gone like oh that's like just chuck that on tuck that on because we don't have anything we're like trying to catch up on or whatever you did enjoy squids game well i guess enjoying free to air doesn't mean hating streaming it just oh definitely not but yeah i think we've lent on it more than we would have i actually i stand by both of those ins yep okay what do you do you think um yeah i feel like i've been more honest this year.

I'd say more. It's not like I am doing this 100% of the time, but it is a significant improvement, which is, I mean. On both? Oh, free to eat, Nalen. Oh, yeah. Yeah, just for the. I still feel like you can choose the chicken.

Yeah, and even when I came home with the sandwiches, I was like, oh, this is going to be a fucking. Oh, sorry. And saying sorry. I just fucking won't say anything. I was like, oh, this is going to be a fucking mess. Oh, sorry. And saying sorry when you're out. I just fucking won't say anything. Tony's big out for 2023. Oh, I forgot about the outs.

Yeah, what did I say? I'm fucking done with this and I hate when other people do it. Oh, no. Saying I'm in my insert something here era. Stand by that. Do you? Yes, I do. We did an ad, though, that involved being in eras. Oh, we did too. Oh, that. Do you? Yes, I do. We did an ad, though, that involved being in eras.

Oh, we did too. Oh, yeah. If you want to travel, go see the good friends at Kayak. Yeah, kayak.com.au. I've actually got some audio throughout the year, Tony, and it turns out you might not have done as well as you think you did. Let's have a listen. Guys, I'm in my stand-up

paddleboard era. I'm in my era of honesty. I'm in my urban surf era. I'm going to start baking bread. I think this might be the start of my baking era. I'm in my treadmill era. I'm in my Taylor Swift era. I'm in my post-jeans era. I'm in my sucking colleagues' dicks era.

So, I mean, maybe a bit of work to go next year. Fuck, the robots are working overtime, eh? I'm pretty sure that's fresh there from Tony. And because I was in the US, I did come back with a bit of an accent, which is what you heard there. Yeah, I think that's not actually the version that was supposed to play, which is funny considering it's directly your voice and wasn't made by a machine last night.

That is interesting. I mean, my sucking co-workers' dicks era. Just use that. Yeah, I'll edit that one in. And your second out for 2023 was Big Batch League Cricket. Stand by that as well. Yeah. Yep.

The BBL. Too showy. Too showy. Too showy. I've just realised I'm not dressed for Christmas. It's not Christmas yet. Not BBL. Too showy. Too showy. Too showy. I've just realised I'm not dressed for Christmas. It's not Christmas yet. Not till tomorrow. Yeah, but.

No, not till tomorrow. Yeah, no, it'll make sense in about 20 seconds. Oh. Can you just tell everyone what I'm doing? Okay, so Ryan's just putting on a sweater that he actually bought in Walmart between. In Lafayette, Indianapolis. Yeah, so we were between. In Lafayette, Indianapolis. Yeah, so we were between. We were between meet and greets.

Ryan bought this and it made it all the way home. Which is a surprise because I was short on space. And it's got a little like holder on the front for either a drink or your phone or. And now my iced coffee apparently. Your iced coffee, yeah. Which is not asking for trouble. Yeah. My in's for 2023. I can't take my eyes coffee, apparently. Your iced coffee, yeah. Which is not asking for trouble. Yeah.

My ins for 2023. I can't take my eyes off that coffee. I'm like really worried it's going to spill. You know what? No, I don't know better than you. You can make the best judgment for yourself. Ryan's in for 2023. You're cocking my ass.

That's every year. Yep. Colour. Colour. Wearing colour and I referenced the... And this was like as we were preparing for our daughter's entry to the world. Because you didn't want the beige baby. Didn't want a boring beige baby and I wanted to embrace colour. Oh, fuck.

Look what I'm wearing. Oh, shit. How would you describe this jumper? I actually totally forgot you said that at the beginning of the year. But I would say you actually, you have done better with colour this year. Yeah. I still love a black jean and a black t-shirt though, but I still, a little splash here and there.

You've obviously incepted me and I've taken your recommendation because I'm into colour now. I'm wearing all black right now. But no, you are embracing colour. But I'm embracing – remember the colour that I wore while I was on holiday? Oh, you were living La Vida Loca. I was. So I think you've incepted me.

That's a good in. Would you say that I am culturally influential? No. But, again, room for improvement. But I think that you did do a bit of an in on there. Okay. You put more colour in your house, that pink chair. Yep.

That's very nice. It's hard to miss. It is. But good. Now, speaking of me being a cultural influencer. Yep. Cultural influence. Influence. Yeah, influencing culture. Yep yeah my second in for 2023 yeah was riz that dart in the ass didn't it i'll actually have you know that last

week oxford announced the word of the year as riz saying riz hanging out with people with riz avoiding people with no Riz, wanting to develop Riz is what I said. And the fact that I invented and coined that term earlier this year and now it's become the Oxford word of the year, I think that's influencing culture. I think you're in your lying era because that is not. Oh, are you saying era stuff?

It was like a gag from before. Yeah, okay. I hope so. Don't make me get the robot again. What robot? What? Well, I hope so. Don't make me get the robot again. What robot? What? Well, I mean, you didn't coin that term. You heard that on the internet and then you said it.

Yeah, and then I coined it. Well, you don't get a coin as how I coined this. That's not how it works. But you didn't have Riz. You didn't keep saying Riz. I've grown Riz. Have you? Bro.

Dog. Bro. Riz. I don't know that you have Riz. And that's okay. I think you're still a great person. Well, I don't just start things and they become the Oxford Word of the Year without nothing happening.

Okay, but you didn't start it. I hate to nitpick here, but you didn't start it. I hate to nitpick here, but you didn't start it. Out for 2024 nitpicking. Okay. Well, congratulations on your word of the year. Did they send you a little trophy or something? Yeah, it was just as awesome as our Radio Today Comedy Podcast of the Year award.

Remember they sent us that printout? In for 2024. Pixelated images for awards. That's what I'd love to see. You've won. Do we get a trophy? No, we'll send you this poorly photocopied thing. We'll send you a compressed version of what you sent us.

Actually, no. Thank you. Thank you. My first out for 2023 was listing brand names instead of writing lyrics. You did say that because of that song. Yeah. Sam Smith and Kim Petras. I was about to say Kim Cattrall.

Bring it. She was a bit in and a bit out for the year. Yeah, because of the Sex and the City thing, she wasn't in and just like that. But then also she just like owned her own thing and she's in an episode of that now. I like her. That would have been awkward.

I love Kim Cattrall. I think she's in an episode of that now. I like her. That would have been awkward. I love Kimberley Jones. I think she's great. Yeah. My second out for the year was making jokes around New Year's Eve saying see you next year slash haven't seen you since last year. Won't cop that. Never. I.

That was just my prediction and my personal thing. You know what? I'll give you a raise but you can't have that because it's just no way that that's out because that's way in. My ins for New Year's are making those jokes. It's our last show of the year tomorrow. Are you going to do a bit of that gear or do you wait to the 1st of Jan and then start dropping since last year?

I'll do a bit of CNX Tuesday. Okay. Yeah. It's better than CNX Tuesday. It is, yeah. And we've got episodes on a Monday, so it never makes sense. Never makes sense. See you next Tuesday.

Don't you have a show on Monday? We don't get the public holidays off. Finally, a big in for 2023 on the Tony and Ryan podcast was producer Cam. Yeah. But unfortunately, producer Cam is an out for 2024. Out of the closet. Gay. Gay of the closet. Yeah. Gay.

Click kissing. Cam will still be with us tomorrow for the last show of the year. Yeah. But Cam, incredible year. Still call Australia home. Alison Roman. Alison Roman. What a fucking get.

Well done. 50-hour live stream. I'm surprised that we all liked each other more after that. I thought that might have been a real make or break, but I feel like that was good. Huge trip around the USA. Another one that's surprising we still like each other. After that one, that was a bit of a dicey.

Everyone went, oh, I don't know about that, but we survived. Thrived. Thrived. Thrived. We did. We're stronger for it. But, yeah, Cam, I hope you've had a good year. I hope you appreciate how much the Tarpers really love you.

I hope you appreciate how much we love you. It's not going to be the same without you. We've enjoyed having you here this year, and I hope you've enjoyed it as well. I sure have. It sucks that you're not going to be here in 2024, but what do you say? We're really sad. Upward and onward.

Yeah, I'm sad. I'm sad. I'm sad. Cam and I have been friends for a long time. Yeah. And Tony, I believe we have a little something for Cameron. Now, I've heard a whisper that you've been, I don't want to say aching for this.

Oh, no. Well, okay, no. I think we could rewind for a second. Let's all just acknowledge the elephant in the room, that Cam is leaving because he wasn't part of the Secret Santa. Is that true or false? I've seen stuff in the Facebook group this week. There's been a campaign.

Please stay. Start your own podcast. Stay because we want to use that. Start your own podcast and call it campaign. There's been a huge campaign online that Ryan and I are evil because we weren't in our secret Santa and that's why you are leaving. Which is not unfounded or unbased. I was like, that is fair.

You're like, oh, wow, that is what we did. No, there's no Secret Santa based beef. But you've been aching for this. You've been aching for this. Please pass the. Oh, thank you. I hope it's what you've been. I believe it's what you've been aching for.

I think. I don't know. Am I meant to open it now? Yeah I believe it's what you've been aching for. I think... I don't know. Am I meant to open it now? Yeah, open it now. Okay, okay. What am I getting? Sick. I don't know.

I can't read. I can't read Spanish. See if you could... It's French? Well, what is it first? It's a restaurant voucher. You love that restaurant, right? Mon ami.

Is that French or Spanish? Oh, it's French. Oh, thank God, because I wrote the thing in French. The one on Nicholson Street. Yes. Can you read what it says and I can translate for you? It says Camerona Huchano. Cameron Hutchings.

Merci pour votre service à la comédie, à podcasting et à grinder. Translation, please. No, I'll translate the whole thing. Oh. Vous les savourez, c'est repas qui promet d'être aussi exquis que vous l'êtes. Oh, zoutelot. Oh, zoutelot. We have a lot of French-speaking tapas who will already know what that means.

Yeah, French-Canadian people, our friends in Montreal. Yeah, and did Belgium speak French as well? A lot of weird, a lot of this is in Belgium and France itself. I think they speak German. Oh, excuse me. Your excuse. Would they hate that? I don't know.

I'm not Belgian-ish. The translation into French, because I may or may not have wrote it on ChatGBT last night. Oh, wow. The robot really got a workout. Cameron Hutchings, thank you for your service to comedy, podcasting and Grindr. Beautiful. Beautiful words.

Please enjoy this meal, which is sure to be just as exquisite as you are. Oh. Which is pronounced? Voutro Lettries. Yeah, Voutro Lettries. Voutro Toiletries. Moutros Moutros Lottie. Yeah.

But we love you very much. And you mentioned that restaurant to me like once in passing and I wrote it down and I was like, I'm going to remember that. And I did. Thank you. Sorry, just a little flex from me. Yeah, that was a flex from you. I thought it was thoughtful. It's Cam's moment and you're flexing.

Sorry. That's fine. I'll shut up. Would you like to share a few words? Seeing as I took your moment away. Do I? Oh, thank you. Thank you very much for Tarpis.

Thank you for all the unsolicited. Unsolicited. You're all a dick. Cam is actually going into witness protection. Dickness protection. Thank you for all the unsolicited cum shots in my Instagram inbox. Yeah. Dick pics.

Chats about my apparent or non-apparent foreskin. Yeah. Tags in Aladdin threads. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of that. And, yeah, I'll chat you on Instagram. I'll see you there. Oh, yeah.

What's your, at Cam Hutchie? Yeah. Yeah. Follow Cam. Bomb him up. He'll be doing heaps. You've been doing lots of stuff with Sez. I have been.

Yeah. We love Sez. Which is, I love her. I've been on her podcast. Not to make it about me again. It does sound like you're making it about you. But she's so funny. She's the best. But yeah, we love you very much. We're sorry that you're not going to be joining us next year. But tomorrow,

biggest day of the year. Biggest day of the year. We don't think you'll have to say it yet. No. Tomorrow is the biggest day of the year. We are doing Secret Santa. Yes. But first, what do you love to see? I love to see that we've gone international. Oh. McDonald's have heard our cries, everyone.

Oh. Amanda Stinnett sent this in. Ryan, do you remember saying that Americans need to get frozen Coke at McDonald's. I do remember saying this. Amanda says, Ryan, America heard your cries. Come on back for some nuggies and frozen Coke. Look at this. Amanda has sent in this photo. It's a McDonald's sign.

Try our frozen Coke. You're fucking welcome, America. You are welcome. You have been a cultural influence. That's iconic. You should welcome. You have been a cultural influence. Yep. That's iconic. You should put that on your LinkedIn. I think I will.

I'll endorse you. Cam will too. If I say, like, employer McDonald's job title, inventor of frozen Coke. Or, like, brought it across the oceans, you know. Cultural influence of frozen Coke. Philadelphia is what you're going to say? Philadelphia frozen Coke.

Like a Philly cheesesteak. I love to see that. That's huge. What a compliment. That is a compliment. Huge compliment. And I also just love that Amanda saw a McDonald's and thought, Tony and Ryan.

Yep. I mean, if one brand is synonymous with us, surely. It's McDonald's. It's McDonald's. I hope so. Let's get a frappe after this. Frappe. A third's. I hope so. Let's get a frappe after this. Frappe, yeah. A third coffee.

A third coffee. It's the third way. It's the third way. I'll have coffee freeway. It's finally coffee. I'll have it hot. I'll have it ice. I'll have it frapped.

Freeway me up. Frappe, yeah. I love to see that. I love to see that as well. I love to see that. I've got another you'll have to see though. This lady in Altham where I live. see that. I've got another you love to see, though. This lady in Eltham, where I live. Died.

In a little bin out the front of the black bag. I'm going to be on Netflix. I've got a Netflix deal. Playing the role of neighbour. Yeah, I didn't see anything. No, I didn't see shit. I didn't see shit, but he gave me his car before he disappeared. Yeah, but just a guy who borrowed his lawnmower and never gave it back, so, like, now I don't have to.

Like, because he's dead. Anyway, Lady Neltham. So she stops her car, like, in the middle of the street, like, driving along, and I was like, there's no red light, so what's going on? Because I was... Yeah, and she died. No, so she was two cars ahead,

so there was, like, one car in front of me, and I could kind of see him kind of, you know, trying to look... Oh, and because you see the motion of the... Yeah, and so I've stopped, and I was like, oh, what's going on there? She jumps out of the car to escort a family of ducks across the street because there's like a little puddle. It's barely a dam.

Yeah. You know, like it's like just a big puddle. And then I've been hanging out and then the park is on the other side of main road. And that obviously decided as a family. That today was the day. And then so she like went and stopped a car coming the other way and she was like the lollipop lady and like ushered them through.

You have to be a very good person to do that. I feel like I'd want to be that person, but in the cold, hard light of day and wanting to avoid being in a body bag, I'd probably just keep driving. Yeah. Oh, yeah. You can't just stop on the side of the road.

Oh, and go into a park. Oh, who knows what's going to happen. All those bin bags. Yeah, shit. That's going to happen. All those bin bags. Yeah, shit. That's beautiful. You do love to see that. Not as good as the McDonald's, obviously. Obviously.

Yeah, unfortunately, not that impressive, but still pretty good. Tomorrow on the show. Best day of the year. Best day of the year, Secret Santa. And also, as agreed to on Patreon, Tony, what will now be the inaugural, the annual. The first annual. Oh, it's the second. Fucked fact. Santa's sack of fucked facts,

we're calling it. That's tomorrow. We'll chat to you then. Love you, bye. Do I have to wear this sweater the rest of the day because it's fucking hot? Yes. Have we proved that I'm colour? Can I take it off now? No, because tomorrow's Christmas and it's like crossover. Then diagram of Christmas and colour. Christmas colour. Yeah. Love you Then diagram of Christmas in colour. Christmas colour. Love you, bye.
