Hello? Hi, is that Brittany? Yes, this is she. Brittany, it's Ryan here, and I just wanted to check. I've been calling you Brittany Chestnut, but can you confirm your full name? It's Brittany Chestnut. It is?

Oh! Well, Brittany Chestnut, would you approve this podcast? I absolutely approve this podcast. More like Brittany Yes Nut. I absolutely approve this podcast. More like Brittany Yesna. This is Brittany from Northern California and I approve this podcast. Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. Happy Thursday.

Merry Thursday. The other day, I had a meeting with the mortgage broker and a lawyer and a property conveyancer or something because Bridget and I are looking to buy a house. So exciting. And we want it to be our big forever, move in for 50 years, never leave house. Yeah. So it's a very important meeting about, you know, the money and the this

and like it's a bit of a stressful time. And the paperwork involved with buying a house alone is like intense. So we're on a group Zoom thing with the lawyers and the people and my phone buzzes and I'm like, oh, sorry, I think I need to get this. It's with Tony who I work with. It must be important. Oh. It wouldn't have been.

Well, do you remember sending me a video this week? It wasn't important, I can confirm. I was in a meeting with lots of important people and then I laughed and said it's not important and then the mortgage broker, who is also my brother-in-law, goes, oh, just tell us what it is. You're obviously laughing. So in front of the mortgage broker, the property lawyer

and the conveyancer and a real estate agent, I had to tell them that Tony just sent me a YouTube video titled The Longest Year, Boy, Ever Recorded. And the video is, like, years old, so probably everybody listening would know what that is. I mentioned it to Ryan. I was like, oh, longest yeah, boy, ever. And he was like, oh, imagine if that was a video.

I was like, it is. I'm so embarrassed I didn't know. And then I had to explain why it was funny to a bunch of lawyers. So I sent you the video on, like, Sunday afternoon or whatever. That's so fucking funny. We were getting our strategy for the week all ironed out. Yeah, mate, I was excited about you buying the house and it was the longest year boy ever.

I can confirm one of the lawyers was pretty chuffed with it and the other two. Yeah, okay. It's a pretty funny video if you haven't seen it. The way he's like, I will fail. Got my drink and he holds up like a can of drink but he's doing the longest he can talk for. So it's like when would he drink?

When would you take the sip? Yeah, it's so funny. What an idiot. No wonder that guy. It's the best fucking video. Oh, who knows? Probably on Ellen or something. Tony Lodge.

Yes. And you listening to this podcast, I have a question. Uh-huh. Question. Is there something in your life that is really simple, probably mundane and basic, but has just made your world so much better? Oh, that's good. For me, and don't at me, Tony, with your must-be-nice rich guy lifestyle,

but my wife Bridget and I made a purchase last year. Do you know what I'm talking about? We got a clothes dryer. You buy so much. I said don't at me with your rich stuff and we don't buy much. We don't buy much. We are very simple people. You spend a lot of money on stuff though, don't you?

I actually don't and you know that. I sold my car. You've got a hole in the shirt that you're wearing. I've got a hole in my T-shirt. The clothes dryer. We got a hole in the shirt that you're wearing. I've got a hole in my T-shirt. The clothes dryer. We've got a clothes dryer. It was, can I just say though, clothes dryer, washing machine combo, stackable combo.

Stackable combo. And they're not even stacked. We don't know how to stack them. We'll do it later. We'll figure that out. It's been six months. Every time I walk into your bathroom, there's just like two units on the ground. We don't know how to stack them.

I actually envy you because we- You're in the market for a clothes dryer. Yeah, we need to buy a dryer. How did you make the decision? There's like three different types, like condenser, pump, electrical, fucking all this gas, fucking all this stuff. There's so many different things and I don't know which one to get. Okay, here's where you and I are different.

Oh, you don't care about anything. Mate, because if you buy it and it doesn't work, you just buy another one. I can only afford once. I can only shoot my shot once. You're just like, fuck, doesn't work. We'll just throw it in the bin and buy another one. I was very clear about adding me, about being rich. You've not taken that advice. What's it like?

We have the same job, mate. We're 50-50. What I earn, you also earn. Do you just never have to worry about adding guac to a burrito and things like that? Is it just really freeing? I'm not rich, but obviously, no, I would always have guac and not question my decision.

The thing about when you're faced with those decisions is you go, well, they're all probably going to work, so I just choose one. No, because, like, dryers can fucking set on fire and, like, shit themselves. Not ones that work and not ones that you take care of. No, no, no, no, no. Like, if you don't buy the right type, it can like combust and fuck up. Yeah, well, they're not for sale anymore.

They don't keep selling combustible ones. Which one? Do you know which one you got? The heat pump one? I couldn't even tell you. They're the most expensive but apparently the most efficient. No, we didn't get the most expensive because you can, okay, all jokes aside. Sorry, the most expensive type.

All jokes aside, you can actually spend infinite dollars because the top, top, top of the range is insane. I would just say we got like a very middle of the range, does a really great job. Anyway. Bec Judd has a really fancy. She would. Yeah.

She's got an entire laundry room with like a hanging area and stuff. It's like a wet room. That's crazy. Yeah. See, our laundry is. Your bathroom. The corner of the bathroom. Yeah.

Same with us. So we used to have the clothesline like in the house and stuff hanging up and whatever. But before you buy this, I've got a strong word of warning. Oh, this is great because, yeah, we want to buy one and I'm really worried. I like to do my research. This is a word of warning to anyone considering a clothes dryer.

What is the most common concern with a clothes dryer? If there was a downside, obviously everything has its pros and its cons, it's good and it's bad. I guess people would probably worry about the energy cost, like how many times you were running it, but that's probably not your problem, is it? Oh, it is when you've got to pay the energy bill. Yeah, but mate, it just comes out of the account, doesn't it? Have you met me before? just comes out of the account, doesn't it? Have you met me before? That's probably what I would think would be the biggest thing,

but also like putting things in and actually taking them out. Yeah, and leaving them there for six months, that's also an issue. Yeah. Another common problem is that sometimes, and maybe it's because I didn't get the top, top, top of the range, I'm not Bec Judd, sometimes your clothes can shrink a little bit. Oh, can they? Did you notice?

I've never had one. Yeah. I didn't grow up with a clothes strike, you know, quite a humble family. Yeah. Also, was unaware because we weren't a drying household. We were a. Hills hoist household. Absolutely.

Yeah, same with us. So T-shirts can like shrink a little bit. Oh, mate. So the other day. Oh, it was Bridget's clothes, wasn't it? Mm-mm. Oh. I get up in the morning, I press snooze maybe an extra couple of times.

Yeah. So I didn't have a lot of spare time between getting out of bed and being at a meeting at work. Yeah. So chuck on a T-shirt, chucked on a rain jacket because you know how I've had some wild weather in Melbourne. Yeah. Was it the Nike one that you wear a lot? That's a cool jacket.

No, I lent that to my cousin Bonnie three months ago and who the fuck knows where that is. I love that jacket. So does she. I actually love that jacket. That's really sad. Have you not noticed I haven't worn it for ages? Well, I just thought like, oh, it hasn't really been raining

when we've been together. Yeah. No, mate, hopefully I'll get that back. That's a sick fucking jacket, though. It's such a sick jacket. Stop telling me how good it is. I'm so aware. I'll buy you another one.

I'll find one. You must be nice. Mate, we are the same now. So I chuck a rain jacket on. What one was it? What rain jacket was it? It's very unimportant to say that. So I took a rain jacket on. What one was it? What rain jacket was it? It's very unimportant to the story. Okay.

So I get to work. The rain jacket's drenched because it's been raining. Oh, fuck. I take the jacket off. Yeah. Oh. In a workplace here at the radio station where we're recording this podcast. Yep.

COVID restrictions are off. There's 40 or 50 people in here. I had a muffin top. I had a muffin top. The shirt had shrunk to above my, like, belt line and my little tum that's, you know, it's COVID. Like, it's got a couple extra kilos in there than it used to. Yep.

There was a gap between the bottom of my shirt and the top of my pantaloons and there was my little fat gut sticking out for a whole day at work, a little muffin top. Oh, I would have gone home. Well, I couldn't because I was already at work. No, I would have gone home. I would have been like, I've got my period and I would have left. I tried that, but they didn't seem to believe me.

You're like, my wife has her period. Does that work the same? So you just immediately know? I would feel uncomfortable the whole day. Yeah. I found it? So you just immediately know? I would feel uncomfortable the whole day. I did. I felt awful. I just know how anxious I would feel. So I just want you to know.

And your jacket was wet so you couldn't put that back on. Fuck. Because I didn't have my nice rain jacket because Bonnie had it. Bonnie. Fucking Bonnie. The one I've got now is just, how do you explain it? It's clearly only, you'd only wear it when in the rain. It's not like a cool jacket.

No, it's like, it's a very specific, like it's raining outside. And it was soaked. So it was like hanging up in the bathroom for some reason. It felt like a good spot. It was drenched. And then I had to walk around with a muffin top all day. So I went into my little studio and was like, I'm just going to not leave for most of the day.

Oh, that's, I feel really bad because it is the worst situation to be in when you wear like a shirt that's like too tight on your armpits or too short. And you know how you've got specific, obviously in this situation it was shrunk, you didn't know. I didn't know until it was too late. It was too late. But you know how you've got some clothes that you look at that T-shirt

and you go, oh, that's a good T-shirt but I can only wear that with a jacket. Or like, oh, that's a good shirt but I could only wear it if I was going to tuck it in. Or I could only wear that with these certain jeans because it's, and I've got a lot of caveats in my wardrobe. Like I look at a shirt. A lot of asteriskers. Yes, and I would look at asteriskers. Did I just got a lot of caveats in my wardrobe. Like I look at a shirt. A lot of asteriskers. Yes, and I would look at asteriskers.

Did I just say asteriskers? It'll do. I'm standing by it. Yeah, where I look at it and I go, that's a great top, oh, but I have to wear that with a denim jacket. So if I'm wearing that with a denim jacket, it means I have to wear something black on the bottom because I can't wear blue jeans with that.

Like so it's very convoluted. So it's horrible that you were shocked by a sudden jean necessity, a jacket necessity outfit that you didn't know. I did contemplate. This is flapping me. I'm very anxious about this. I did contemplate. Yeah.

Do I just rock this and imply that, like, this is the new thing to do? Is that what you decided to do? No. Okay, then no. I wouldn't have done that. I think if I came in and was, like, a trendsetter, it wouldn't be me setting a trend. It would be like, what's going on with that?

Yeah. Because I'm not the guy that people go, oh. That's cool now. Is that what we're doing this season? Yeah. No, I'm not the guy that people go, oh. That's cool now. Is that what we're doing this season? Yeah. No, I'm not that guy either. Yeah. We're the guy that like, hey, it's taken me three seasons

to get around to this. Yeah. Oh, I couldn't afford a denim jacket until now, so I've bought one. And people are like, oh, that's very five years ago. It's taken me 15 years to become comfortable with the skinny jean. And now you're telling me that these Gen Zs are wearing

jean mums with a baggy leg? Go and fuck yourselves. Jean mums. What did I say? Jean mums. What did I say? Jean mums. What was I trying to say? Mum jeans. Oh, fuck it, whatever.

See, I'm flapped. I'm flapped. I've got a muffin top and I'm flapped. This is Brittany from Northern California and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A big shout-out to all our champion tapas. Not all of them. A big shout-out to some of our champion tapas.

So with Robert Pattinson, not Robin Patterson. Yes. Robert Patterson is the new Batman. We thought, let's go back. You just said Robert Patterson again. Please stop yelling at me. Sorry. Yes. Robert Patterson is the new Batman. We thought let's go back. You just said Robert Patterson again. Please stop yelling at me. Sorry. Sorry.

We thought let's go back into the vault because he's actually done a lot of movies. He has. I think anyone who's in something like Twilight always gets categorised or whatever. Yeah. But he's done a lot of like indie movies and I'd say kind of like started his time again to like I'm going to get good at acting and and do these movies and put their time and effort in. And Tenet is a pretty, like it's a Christopher Nolan film. Huge film.

You know, it would have been a massive budget and stuff. Like I think he's on the way up and fucking Batman. I mean, geez, that's a good get. Unbelievable. And I think a lot of people like him who were in Twilight could kind of just, if they wanted to, just ride those coattails forever. But I love that he's like, nah, I want to do this. Yeah, or even find it hard to get cast in things

because are you always the Twilight guy? He's done well. A bit like Daniel Radcliffe, like with Harry Potter. It's like he's always going to be Harry Potter because he was fucking Harry Potter. Yeah, it's insane. And when you watch him in stuff now, you're like, this is Harry Potter.

It's Harry Potter, what's he doing? Yeah. So we thought we'd go back down memory lane and choose either one of the four Twilights, because I can bind two of them because fuck knows there's enough of them, or Tenet. Yeah. And you were hoping for? Breaking Dawn because so the fourth movie, both parts,

fourth and fifth movie then I guess. Because they really dragged them out, didn't they? It's good, though. The movies are good. My wife, Bridget, loves Twilight. They're great. And so when she saw the thing pop up, she's like, oh, we get to watch a Twilight together.

You were really excited. I was pumped. Apparently there's like a horny scene. It's horny as fuck in the first part of the fourth movie. Oh, yeah, it's real horny. What kind of? So they don't have sex until after they get married. So they go on their honeymoon.

And it's just. It is fucking on for bloody love and money. Really? Yeah. Yeah. And I remember reading the books. Could have told me that before the notes for the votes, mate. Mate, I told you that.

I said it's horny as. In the books, it's pretty adult. And I told you that. I said it's horny ass. In the books it's pretty adult and I remember reading them when I was in, I would have been year 11 or 12, year 11 and I remember reading it and being like I actually. You're going to use the word

awakening? Yeah. I actually was super into, I was a twihard like I was super into Twilight. Really? I had like Twilight everything. Like what? Name it, whatever.

Oh, so like I had posters all over my walls. Did you have a Twilight pencil case? Yes, I did. Yeah, I took it to school. A ruler? They didn't. So I actually bought from like eBay. It was somebody made like a Twilight makeup bag and it was tiny

and I could only fit like three pens in it. That's all you need. But that was my pencil case for school. And I contacted, like printed out pictures and contacted them to my books. You were a Twi-hard. This is the saddest thing I've heard. I was super into it. And like for the movies, when like

to go and watch them at the cinema, I like made a shirt that said like, I love Edward. So it's fair to say when the poll went up you were hoping for four of the five options were Twilight. Yeah. And when I was talking the other week about my high school boyfriend, Josh, and I said I've only ever been dumped and you said, why do you think you were dumped?

And I was like, oh, I guess I was just a bit clingy. He broke up with me because I was like super into Twilight and I was like, this is so fucking embarrassing. I was like, well, I don't care because you'll never love me like Edward loves Bella. And that is a fucking insight into the vault of my emotional trauma. Yeah. Okay, so let's move on.

No, no, no. I just gave you a little bit of gold for free, so. It's not for free. I'm a Patreon. I pay the money. So you're telling, so how did he respond? Well, no, that's how I like, I was like, well, I don't need him. This is how I like justified it to myself.

Oh, so you didn't say it out loud? No, of course not. I thought you said back to him, well, you said the line and he was like, yeah, right. No, but he was just like, you're fucking obsessed with this thing. It's really fucking weird. And I was just like, right. No, but he was just like, you're fucking obsessed with this thing. It's really fucking weird. And I was just like, whatever. Like super angsty, like whatever.

And then I was like, he'd never loved me like Edward loves Bella anyway. I deserve better. What a loser. And you did get better. You got the air to the Tober, unfortunately. Yeah, I mean. So jokes on that. What was that guy's name?

My high school boyfriend. Yeah, Josh. Yeah. But yeah, so I was super into. I was just being supportive at the time. I never liked that guy. Yeah, I know. But yeah, so I was super into Twilight.

I definitely got catfished by somebody who was pretending to be Robert Pattinson on the internet. He was in an American time zone and I thought it was Robert Pattinson. So you thought you were chatting to Robert Pattinson? Yep. At what age? Oh, year 11. So what are you, 14, 15?

A bit older than that, maybe 16, 17, year 11. No, I think you turned 17. Anyway, it doesn't matter. But, yeah, 15 maybe, say. Old enough to know that it probably wasn't the real Robert. And I was just like, I was like, mum, I'm talking to Robert Pattinson online. And because he was in America, it's like the time zones are like switched. So he, I would stay up all night and all morning and talk to this Robert Pattinson online.

And my mum, and I was like, mum, I'm actually talking to him. Like, it's pretty cool. And she was like, just don't send him any of your information. Slash vagina. Because it will address or anything. Like if he says, I'm going to send you a gift, don't give him any information. Did you give him any information?

No, no, no, no, absolutely not. Well, no wonder he never came around. But it's pretty shocking because that was probably someone who was not doing the right thing. I reckon it probably wasn't Robert Pattinson. With people on the internet. I agree. Yeah, so anyway.

Maybe it was him and he's just sick of people like you brushing him aside for fear of scammers and he was just trying to hang out with a friend. He definitely fucking was him. All right, so we decided to watch Tenet. All the patrons chose Tenet. It's a Christopher Nolan film. I love Christopher Nolan.

He's one of my OG favourite people. You're a big fan. He made The Batmans. He made Inception. Yes. He made Interstellar. One of my favourite. Interstellar is probably one of my favourite movies.

Yep. He made Dunkirk. One of my favourite movies at the time was, what's the movie? It Goes Backwards with Memento. Oh, I haven't seen that. The Prestige. I've seen The Prestige, yep. Brilliant filmmaker.

Yep. Now, Tony is going to explain in less than 30 seconds what Tenet's all about and how it works. So very quickly, a spoiler alert because this is quite a recent movie so we're obviously going to talk about the movie right now. So if you haven't seen it. I couldn't even spoil it for you because I don't understand. So if you haven't seen it. I couldn't even spoil it for you because I don't understand. So if you haven't seen it and you don't want to listen to it, skip forward to Things You Love to See.

Okay. This is your warning. So 30 seconds to explain Tenet. So at the very beginning, it's maybe a little bit awkward for right now because there's like a Russian-Ukrainian tension is kind of how the movie starts. I, in the first moments of the film, was like, is this a whole movie about this?

Because maybe we should watch something else this week. Yeah. It moves on. It does move on from there. But basically, do you want me to explain like the mechanic of the thing or what happens in the movie? The mechanic of the thing. Okay.

So basically, time travel movies often get this wrong. I'm a big fan of time travel and they often get this wrong. So where time travel happens, so if there's a timeline here and a timeline here and they're happening at the same time, I think most people think that what Tenet does is that they are going, one's going forward, one's going backward, and they happen to cross over, but they're actually both happening concurrently

in parallel timelines and it's moving like this. And because the people can move through the turn styles and there's two of them, they can kind of cross over. And basically Robert Pattinson's character is moving in reverse. So he ends up dying in the first scene of the movie, but you see him working backwards in time. So they're not moving backwards as in going back in time. His timeline is in the opposite direction to the one of the main character that we're watching. And if you've seen Tenet, that will make sense. That's pretty good.

It's pretty good. That is pretty good. Yeah. And so basically all of these things or people or objects have inverse. Like if a bullet's inverted, it's going backwards in time. But the thing that fucked me is that I like to understand why a movie works the way that it does, and it kind of fucks you if you watch the movie

and you're like, this doesn't make sense. So just enjoy it because at the end it all comes together. I do recommend it. It's a good movie. But I fell asleep a lot. We watched it towards the end of the week. Yeah. And busy times.

We're all busy. Yeah. Is it one that you should watch when you're tired and being busy? No. Is it one you should watch with a notepad full of coffee and ready to concentrate? Yeah, you need to be like fucking super into it, and I think I wasn't.

I had a gin and some dinner, and then I sat down to watch it, and I was like, I'm falling asleep. I had a whiskey and a pizza, same. And Torbs just kept pausing it every time I fell asleep, and I was like, I'm awake. How are we supposed to get to the end of it towards if you keep pausing it? I know. He was like, well, I didn't want you to miss it.

And I was like, bro, I would have missed the hour of filler and I would have figured it out at the end. Like, it's all good. So I woke up at one stage and noticed the TV was still on. So you've already, sorry, just to recap, you've seen it before. But again, it probably takes me a few goes because there's a lot going on. I woke up and then on the couch it was me, next to me was the dog BJ also asleep, and then Bridget was asleep.

All three of us were curled up on the couch all sleeping through the movie. I was like, oh, I hope we haven't missed anything important. But I still, and I love it, here's my question. Is it possible to love a movie a lot and still not know what's going on at the same time? I think so. Do you need to understand it to be able to say, I love this movie? I mean, there is a certain element of understanding the movie to say that you like it. But there's so many parts to a movie. Like, I really

like movie scores. Like, I listen to movie scores on Spotify and stuff. It's a really intriguing one, isn't it, the music? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Inception is another good example of that. Like it's the same song that plays but it's just slowed down in all the scenes. So like it's fucking really cool.

So you could like that. You could like the actor's performance but not really dig the film or, you know, it's like the movie or Christopher Nolan films, they're so pretty. So beautifully shot. Like they are gorgeous to watch. Now it reminded me of a James Bond movie because, A, they're all like well-dressed, there's a lot of action,

you end up being in five or six different countries throughout the movie so it's like very scenic and beautiful to watch, would you agree? I, no, don't. I haven't seen James Bond. Which one? Is there one? There's no, don't. I haven't seen James Bond. Which one? Is there one? There's two, isn't there?

There's a couple. I think there's 27. What? There's 27? There's, I mean, at least 20, yeah. Really? Have you never seen a James Bond film? No.

So when you say I haven't seen it, it implies that you believe there's just like a movie. Yeah, is there a movie? Is it a trilogy? That's what I thought. A trilogy is three. Yeah, I know, like Austin Powers. James Bond is about 25.

Fuck. Hang on, let me Google this. Oh, because there's lots of different James Bonds' isn't there? Like who's the guy? The Craig, Craig Bruce. No, he's for radio. That's a radio guy. 27 movies in the last 59 years.

Whoa. There was David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, who was Australian, he only did one, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. Oh. And you've never seen any of them? No. Why not?

Oh, actually, I think I've seen one at the cinema that like a boyfriend dragged me along to or something. It's a classic a boyfriend drags you along to type of film. But no, I haven't seen them. How? I don't know. It's just never really taken my fancy. You don't like a fancy spy movie and some fancy suits and stuff?

I mean, I'd probably like it more now, like as an adult, but I think Torbz isn't super into James Bond, so we've just never watched it. Really? But it's funny that you mention it, though, because what I was going to say about Tenet is that this is not a movie I would ever normally put on. No.

Like it's not really my vibe. I'm surprised that you vibed it. Yeah, but I always enjoy them when we watch them. But when I put something on the telly, I normally am just looking for something shit that I can watch in the background or I can work at the same time and still, like, know what's going on. So I really like that we do the movie thing because it's made me watch

so many films I wouldn't normally watch. I'm the same except the other way because I'm like, oh, because we do this thing for the podcast, I get to watch all these shit movies. Oh. And you get to watch all these good ones. That's not true. We watch Tenet.

So if you think that I'm watching good movies and you think you're watching shit movies and who's got bad taste, it's you. I don't know. That didn't even make sense to me. No, well, it didn't make sense to any of us. At least you're one of us. We're all in this together.

What do you think of John David Washington, the main character? Oh, he was great. I love that guy. What else is he in? I didn't recognise him. Well, he's kind of new to the scene, but he was in Black Klansman, which is an incredible movie with Spike Lee. And then before that he was in a TV show called Ballers with the Rock.

Oh, I do know the show, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which I didn't realise because he used to be a semi-professional footballer. Really? He played a footballer, so you need basically a lot of football skills to be in the scene. Be able to do it, yeah. And he did a bit of theatre. So does that mean you don't know who his dad is?

No. It's Denzel Washington's son. Is it really? Yeah. And fun fact, Denzel Washington wanted to be a professional footballer and it didn't work out. You know, not everyone can be a professional athlete. Yeah, not like you, mate.

So he basically was like, oh, I guess I'll do acting then. And then Denzel Washington. He's Denzel Washington. And he thought, oh, if guess I'll do acting then. And then Denzel Washington. Is Denzel Washington. And he thought, oh, if I don't make it in football, I can probably make $800 a week doing theatre and off Broadway, you know, something like that. Imagine, like, people work their whole lives to be an actor. Imagine that being your backup.

It was his backup. Being like, oh, I guess I'll just be an actor. I guess I'll just win a few Academy Awards and make some of the great movies. Fucking hell. So his son was the same, wanted to be a footballer, didn't quite work out. He was on a roster for the Rams, didn't get to play, played in like the B Leagues and stuff.

And then this TV show comes up and they go, oh, must have like pretty good football skills to be passable because his character's a footballer. As an actual footballer, yeah. And he's like, yeah, I did theatre in high school, blah, blah, blah. My daddy's Denzel Washington. Yeah, that'll get it across the line. But it turns out he is legit.

He is great. Fuck, I had no idea. Yeah, he's incredible. And the line. But it turns out he is legit. He is great. Fuck, I had no idea. Yeah, he's incredible. And so in Black Klansman, he's incredible. And I think this could be like one of the starts of like one of the, I mean, it's always going to be hard to live up to your dad when your dad's Denzel Washington. Fuck, that's so cool though.

Yeah, no, I had no idea. Well, there is no like, you know, sometimes you can go, oh, I can see a resemblance. There isn't really much at all. But incredible actor though. Yeah, he did a great job. The movie was, I really liked it, but it was like challenging to watch. You didn't sit there and enjoy it.

You like had to really concentrate. Or as I, or we both did, just nap our way through. Yeah, just sleep through the whole thing. Sorry, Denzel Washington, son. I will say that I enjoyed it more the second time because I didn't have to spend as much time trying to figure it out because I already know what's going on so I can just enjoy the movie. That's what Torb said.

So he'd seen it once and he was like, oh, it's a lot more enjoyable the second time. So maybe in a year I'll give it another whirl. Things you love to see. All right. Go for it. Do you want me to go first? Yeah, because I haven't got anything yet.

Oh, well, you can leech onto mine because you're going to fucking love this. All right. What is something that you don't love to see? You've had a bit of dinner. You really want to sit down and enjoy your after fucking dinner snack. And you go, oh, you know what we should do? We should go and get a McFlurry. Yes.

Love that. But you know what you don't fucking love? Oh, sorry, the ice cream machine's broken. After fucking dinner. That's when it should be the least broken. That is the time you need it most. You are letting us down. Exactly.

So something that I do love to see is that the small start-up called Kitsch, who services the McDonald's ice cream machines remotely, like they set it all up for them, are suing McDonald's for $900 million for basically spreading lies about their company, of the age-old lie of, like, the ice cream machine's broken. So McDonald's are actually getting sued for, like, saying, oh, well, like, they never service it and it's always fucked and whatever.

Does that mean they've been lying to us the whole time? Well, who knows? But, like, don't know if it's the start-ups. Obviously, I'm giving a high-level view of this article that I read. Oh, is this not an investigation? Is this not an original piece for Tony Lodge for the Australian Financial Review? But anyway, yeah, they're getting sued for actually saying that

because it's affecting the start-up because they're like, oh, we do McDonald's ice cream machines. Well, I'm not going to fucking hire them. They're always fucking broken. Yeah, so I fucking love to see that. McDonald's getting their comeuppance for lying about bloody their ice cream machine being broken because they're too lazy

to fucking make me a thick shake. Get in there and make me a thickie, dog. You know what I love? I love a thick shake. fucking make me a thick shake. Get in there and make me a thickie, dog. You know what I love? I love a thick shake. Haggard's a thick shake. When you can't get it off the straw, like, so good. I made Bridget a thickie this morning. Banana, oats, a little bit of almond butter.

Oh, so that's more of a smoothie. What's the difference between a smoothie and a thick shake? Well, a thick shake is like a milkshake but has ice cream in it. Yeah, yeah. But you made a smoothie. Yeah. Yeah, so they're not the same thing. But if you have milk and ice, is that not icy milky cream?

But it's not the same. Ah. Yeah, that's a smoothie, but that's okay. Because a thick shake, you think about it being like a naughty treat or whatever. What do you do for a job? I'm a sound engineer. Oh, I thought you were in the fucking thick shake, you think about it being like a naughty treat or whatever. What do you do for a job? I'm a sound engineer. Oh, I thought you were in the fucking thick shake police. Give me a break.

Well, sorry that you're a fucking idiot and you don't know what a smoothie is. You know what I love to see? What? McDonald's started doing Tim Tam McFlurries. Did they? And they were fucking elite. And I don't know if it was, I think it must have been one of those like pop up for a month kind of fun ones.

Put it on the regular menu, dog. I don't know why they don't do that. They are fucking elite. And I don't know if it was, I think it must have been one of those like pop-up for a month kind of fun ones. Put it on the regular menu, dog. I don't know why they don't do that. They are so good. Do you know what was so good? When McDonald's used to actually like flurry the McFlurries. Now they've taken the piss now. It's fucking like they chew up an Oreo and spit it on the top. It's fucked.

Is that not how they make it? I think it is what they do. It's fucking what it looks like. Well, I love to see a Tim Tam McFlurry. Bring that back to my life. Oh, so good. But yeah, absolutely love to see that. It's Thursday, so tomorrow's Friday.

How amazing. Thanks for sticking around with us for the week. Next week we're going to announce maybe a new challenge. We do. Yeah. That will be happening. We'll see you then. Ciao, meow.

Meowk Donalds. That was pretty good. We'll see you then. Ciao, meow. Meow. Meowc Donalds. That's pretty good. Yeah, that's good. Smeowby.
