Welcome to the podcast. My name is Ryan. I'm here with Dr. Arthur, Dr. Tony Lodge, and we are calling Daute in Darwin. Darwin! My old stomping ground from my holiday a week ago, a month ago, sometime. Hello? Hello! Daute! It's Dwight. Oh, oh shit i've said that wrong it's tony and ryan and i feel like an asshole how did you do that wrong i've door you actually yep you're well i mean of course you're right but tony can you take it from here i don't think that we can recover from that. There's just no way.

Well, we're really sorry. Even though that's just happened, will you approve the podcast? Yes, I approve the podcast. I'm Dwight meeting anyone who listens to this podcast is a shareholder yep people who are in the patreon are a paid up invested a paid up you know how there's like in corporate speak, there's like there's ordinary shares and then there's like B category shares? No. Not relatable.

So coming up today, all members invested or not. Big news. And you're not just going gonna vote by raising your hand and you know see what the poll says your actions will dictate what happens it's up to you because that's how shareholder meetings work

it's a big day are you nervous? nah well you fucking should be mate we'll get to that soon you should be nervous about this, actually. Something happened the other day that made me a little bit nervous and I thought if Tony was here, she might combust.

In Richmond, there's a hospital with a pharmacy out the front. On Bridge Road, the Epworth, we know the one. Just down the road from my favorite bagel place. Yeah, Bisselby. You can park out the front of the pharmacy on the street until 4pm. Then it's a clear way zone. No cars there until 7pm

because it's like peak hour so all the people can leave the city. We're driving down Bridge Road and Bridget says, can you just pull over? I need to just like jump into the pharmacy and get some stuff. The time is 3.57pm.

There is a little drive, like driveway bit was that full? That's often full in that, yeah. And it's actually for people who are like getting dropped off and picked up in pain at a hospital. At a hospital, yeah. Or like they're being wheeled out of surgery and put into a car. So when Bridget goes, oh, do you reckon they've got those like glucose jelly beans?

Why don't you just take it to the chemist's warehouse down the road? Because that's where we were. And also, great fucking question. There's like a million chemists on Bridge Road. So she was at our Trophy Wife, the nail place. Yeah. And so she's like, oh, that's the nearest chemist. I've got to get some jelly beans.

I want to get this moisturizer and something else. Can you just pull over here? There's like a million other chemists you could have gone to. Yeah, see, this is where I knew Tony wouldn't like this. So what would you do if Torb said that? I would have been like, let's just go to a different chemist. It's too busy here. Yeah.

Too busy? Like, no, because that road is fucking. Carnage. Yeah. So this is the hospital that I was picking Torb's up after his wisdom teeth. Okay. Yep. I don't know if we're going to mention them, because that road is fucking... Carnage. Yeah. So this is the hospital that I was picking Torbs up after his wisdom teeth. Okay. Yep. I don't know if we're going to mention them, but that's fine.

So I've obviously... You're well aware. You're well versed. I've got recent trauma from this. Yeah. I had to get there because I couldn't get a parking spot there. I had to park like, you know where the Adara Hotel is, like on Lenox Street? Yeah.

It's like three streets away. Yeah. That's where I parked and sprinted up the road. Yeah, I'm not even, like, it's so busy. Do you reckon you could get in and out of a chemist in three minutes? Not that one in particular. So it's 357 Bridge, which is out of character for her. Just go, well, I guess when you're not the one in the car.

Yeah. It's a lot easier to go, oh, no, you'll be all right. Just pull over, yeah. And if you're like. You're not the one sitting here sweating. Yeah, it's that you're sitting there and the minutes tick by so slowly and you're like, fuck, someone's about to come and get me. I wouldn't do it because I'd be like, oh, it's a clear way in a sec.

We'll just go to another chemist. Did you know that it's not just like, oh, from 4 o'clock, you know, clear space, at 3.59 the tow trucks pull out. Really? It's like they're just waiting there, ready to fucking snuff you up. Well, I mean, because it is for, like, safety and whatever. Yeah, but I also reckon that's them getting their day's pay. If we find it at 4 o'clock, payday, baby.

But if you got your car was, like, what is it, hoisted up, put on the tow truck. I don't know what the lingo is. But like if your car got like attached to the tow truck before four o'clock and you ran out to be like, no, it's four now. Like, you know, they don't take it off, do they? It's already attached. I've only seen it on movies. Yeah. So at 3.59, they literally drive out,

and they're almost like looking at the clock, and they're like, and go. I don't like that. There was two of them. And I reckon every day they just go, yep, jackpot. How many cars did they get? There was one parked in front of me, which got got, and I reckon...

So because you were in the car... Yeah, so they physically couldn't back up in front of me because there was another car in front. So they pulled up in the car. Yeah, so they physically couldn't back up in front of me because there was another car in front. So they pulled up in the car in front of that, and just literally I saw the clock tick over the floor, and they went, yep. Chains go around. They clamped the thing, like drag it up onto the back of the thing.

There was this car behind me, and this other lady had seen the trucks and fucking done the, I got a second love car. For the car that had been hooked up in front of you. No, the one in the front was fucking, they're gone. The one behind me, they're about to like hoist that one up and the lady came running out and she didn't like try to reason with it. She just jumped in her own car and like, and like sped out before they had a chance to

like whip the hooks on. And then, and then so that one guy, he's got his pay. Then the second guy goes, oh, that bitch got away. Then he sees me and he goes, oh, well, when the truck pulls away, then I can get in front and I can back and get this guy. But then I'm in the car. But so because you were in the car, did you just take off and just message Bridget and go, I'll do a blocky

and I'll come back and grab you or something? Yeah, but here's the thing. That means I need to return to the scene of the crime. But they would have already been down picking up more cars yeah maybe but but just imagine you drive like you literally fang it to get away and then mentally like and i have to go back there oh i i would have just thrown them the keys and i'd have been like you know what don't scratch it i'll pick it up from the lot have you ever had a car towed before that is like my ultimate worst nightmare because what do you do?

Who do you call? There's no number on the sign. Like what do you actually do if your car gets towed? I was just about to say because when your car gets a ticket, all the info is on the ticket. Yeah. But of course your car's not there. Your car's gone.

They don't just put a bit of paper on the ground and go, oh, there was a fucking black Audi here. If that was yours, give us a call. Maybe that's what they do. What do you do? I actually don't know. Maybe there's just a business card on the ground and it says, you've been had by Ace Ventura.

I'm sure there's – let's find out. Yeah, what do you actually do? My car has been towed. Oh, hang on. Producer Cam. I've had it happen to a girlfriend. We've walked out of the cafe and it was gone. You just have to Google the area in and tow companies,

and she had to call about two, and then the second one was like, yeah, it's us. Oh, so you have to google the area in and toe companies and she had to call about two and then the second one was like yeah it's us oh so you have to do your own you have to do your own fucking research i don't know about that well i trust science though i've had the vaccine okay um uh yeah i don't know about that i yeah i mean, the Clearway thing in Melbourne, because they are ruthless, as you just explained. I didn't know it was that ruthless. But the idea of getting my car towed freaks me out so much. I stand and look at a parking... Here's another fucking thing.

The parking signs are so confusing. It's like, you can park here from 7 till 9. Great. Oh, except when there's a cloud in the sky and on a day that has a W in it and fucking like, oh, if you're wearing a blue shirt, then you can't fucking park here. And from 3.30 to 4, it's a loading zone. Yeah, and on Tuesdays when the bins come, you can't park here.

And it's a clear way from there. Like there are so many stipulations that actually you have to look at it and go, all right, well, it's not Tuesday and I'm not wearing a blue shirt. Am I loading something? Can anyone load? No, I don't think so. Yeah, I think I've made that mistake. No, I think you have to be in a high-ice van.

Yeah, because they go, oh, sorry, mate, it's a loading zone. I go, yeah, I was dropping something off to my friend's house. Is that not the definition of fucking unloading something? Or what about I unload my thoughts on you right now? Does that fucking count? Is that only like for couriers to use and stuff? But who's a courier? Yeah, you were couriering something.

You know what I mean? I am Jim Courier. Does he get this fucking thing? I would have said, Bridget, get a fucking loader yourself. Bloody, I don't even know what I'm saying. I would have been like, you know what, Bridget, grow up. Oh, sorry. Like, think about what you're saying.

That's what I would have said. Would you make it worse if the baby was in the back? Imagine getting towed and Mabel's in the child seat. I just can't. She's playing fast and loose. Yeah. With your baby. She's changed. I just think I would have been like, let's just go to the chemist's warehouse at Vic Gardens. Yeah.

Or there's a chemist's warehouse on Bridge Road, but further down where it's not as busy. Fuck, there is too. Opposite the town hall. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. And there's heaps of parking there because it's near our old gym. Yeah.

And if you need to know anything about any parking in Melbourne, call Tony. Fucking call me. I'm your guy. Do you know what I do? I go Street View on Google Maps and I read the parking signs on Street View. A few weeks ago, Daddy Dan, the Premier. Yep. Great guy.

Love him. He came out and they're abolishing those. He's like, there's too many fucked street signs. So we're like just smoothing it over and it's just like two hours all day around. See, I like that. Instead of like you said, there's 57 signs. Because you look at them and i i often i get out of my car i'll snap a pic and then i'll get back in my car and i'll read it because i'm like if i have to move my car again because you can't be reading that as you're walking off because then if you go oh fuck actually yeah you

gotta go back to your car by the time you figure out you've you're 15 minutes to the laps and you've already parked in your halfway down the street yeah yeah yeah but so i'll sit in the car and i'll read it and often I send it to Torbs and I go, this is fine, eh? And he'll go, what side of the arrow are you parked on? And I'll go, this one. And he'll go, yep, that's fine. Because I just need a second opinion because I just actually don't trust myself

because they are so fucking confusing. It's built for like the 1% geniuses. That's what it's for for And I don't like that I think that all parking Should be equal opportunity parking I shouldn't need a fucking degree A master's fucking degree A PhD

To park on the street in Brunswick I shouldn't And I've always said that And as someone who is part of the 1% of intellectuals, if you want to message me. So I've never laughed so hard. You know what would be one of the honours of my life? What?

Is if I was your second opinion on parking. You would like me to send you the signs? No, because you'll just be like, oh, yeah, but park on the other side and I don't trust you. You would be like, oh, yeah, Tony, that's fine, even though it would be like clear way right now. And I'd be like, is that all good? And you'd go, yeah, mate.

And it wouldn't be. Actually, don't text me. You're right. Yeah, you can't be trusted with that much power. So I knew this would ruffle Tony. And I thought nothing could ruffle Tony more than this. Except an invite gets thrown out a few days ago. And it says, come around, Tony. Don't bring anything.

Don't bring a thing. Tony doesn't like that. I just, I would rather know. You do know. They said don't. But that just feels rude to go to someone's house and not take something. Don't you think? So I'm not like a hardcore minimalist,

but I feel like I spend a lot of my time trying to get shit out of the house. Yeah. And then people are like, oh, bring this thing over. I'm like. Yeah. That's why I always, to your house, I bring food or coffee. Thank you. I do like that. But see, I think that's fine. And that's enough for me to your house, I bring food or coffee. Thank you. I do like that.

But see, I think that's fine. And that's enough for me to be like, I'm bringing you something. I wouldn't bring you like a candle or something. That's so annoying. But what about, we did go through, and this is like the first world of first world problems. So let me just be really clear that I'm aware of it. But when, like the first week after Mabel was born, lots of people brought food, which was great. And you brought your lasagna.

Tony's lasagna, everyone, is one of the great lasagnas that you'll ever fucking have. I really appreciate that. I made it gluten-free as well, so it wasn't as good as it could have been. So imagine this. You've brought this delicious lasagna. My friends have brought a delicious lasagna. And then someone goes, oh, Ryan, I'll pop around with the lasagna.

I go, please. We're lasagnied out. But also just actual fridge space. I've actually got no room to put this stuff. Oh, fridge chat. So it's okay when you bring it up. Well, at least when the fridge is at the top. But, and so they're like, it's really no problem.

And I'm like, come around, meet the baby. But can you just please actually not bring a fucking lasagna? Because our fridge is full. Did you say that though? Yeah, I was like, please don't. Yeah. But you can't just say, please don't. Because someone then thinks that you're going like,

don't worry about it. And they're like, no, let me. But if you actually, so if I said to someone, I'll bring a lasagna and they went, no, don't worry about it. I'd go, oh, it's really no trouble. But if I said, oh, I'll bring a lasagna and you went, we actually don't have any fridge space. I'd go, oh, I'll think of something else.

And they go, great. We'll pop it in the freezer. Great. We'll eat it straight up. I actually don't think you listen to what I'm saying. But, like, I think that you have to be more, like, just upfront about why not to bring it. Because most people, the same way with anything.

Powerfront, because I'm good at really upfront. Like, thank you. Can we rain check the lasagna? This would be nice. Can we rain check the lasagna? Do you mind bringing it in two weeks when we've gone through the ones that other people have brought? No, because then I have to deal with it in two weeks.

I think you're just being. As a late no is still still a no you're being really ungrateful i think about like because i think you can be honest and just be like look i'm so sorry like we actually don't have room for another lasagna another example i said i liked something i can't remember what it was yeah like say it was like a i can't actually remember what it was and um someone goes i've actually got a big book about that and i I was like, I'll bring it around. And I'm like, oh, no. You know what I'm saying? Oh, I like this actor.

And they go, oh, I've got his biography. I'll bring it. And I was like, no, no, no. Like, I just like the movies. I really don't need you to. And again, I know it's not a bad thing, but I'm just, I feel like I'm spending my weekends moving stuff out of the house. Oh, we've got a whole spare room full of junk that I'm trying to clear up.

I know what I'll do. I'll come and bring something else for you to put in there. But like people are just trying to share with you something that they. I'm not saying they're a bad person. I'm just saying I don't want the stuff. I am not that good at being honest. And so when people go, oh, we'll bring the lasagna around. I go, great.

And then I just fucking like, I mean, the fridge dramas, you know. But like I'm actually doing recently people are like, oh, what do you think about that? I'm like, I don't like that. And I'm really trying to be honest. And I think that it's the same thing. It's like, oh, actually like, but it is hard when people are just like trying to be nice.

So where do you stand? What's happened with you when someone says. Well, so I actually went to this thing like empty handed. Tony. Yeah. I'm so proud of you. Because I was like, okay, well, like you've told me not to bring anything. So I won't.

And I was, as I was leaving the house, I was like, fuck, should I just go to the Bottle and get something? And Torbs was like, you can if you want. But like they said, don't bring anything. And I was like, oh, I might just, I might just go to the Bottle. And then I'm like looking at the time And I was like, oh, I might just go to the Bottle-O. And then I'm, like, looking at the time. I'm like, fuck, I'm actually going to be late if I stop at the Bottle-O. More of a nightmare for Tony.

But if I stop somewhere, there's no way I'm going to make it there in time. And then I was like, maybe I'll just Jimmy bring something to try and, like, meet me there when I get there. And Tobs was like, mate, if you get there and there's like not enough booze or someone goes, oh, did you bring anything? Because then you go, oh, I'll order it now. But like don't just – so I actually went with nothing. It was really weird.

I didn't know what to do with my hands. Yeah. So I had my handbag and my phone like this, like trying to be like, these are the things that I brought with me. Just like aggressively in your pockets? Yeah. Because you're like, I don't want to. Hello.

So nice to see you guys. Did you feel like naked? Yeah, it was weird. Like something's missing. Because it's like that icebreaker of being like, oh, so good to see you. I brought this thing for you. Yeah. Like I think that's just nice.

So you're nervous coming up to the event. Yeah. But then when you actually walked in, did it turn out to be fine? Did you regret not taking something? What was the – So I didn't take anything and then it was just like – it was like a big group of friends of mine and everyone was like, oh, my God, so good to see you.

So I did the hug and walked around. Everyone was like, oh, do you want a drink? And then like 40 minutes later there wasn't enough drinks. So I was like, oh, like should we just order something? And they're like, yeah. And that was fine. It was fine. Yeah.

Okay, that's a good attitude because I thought if the drinks run low that you might have been like, she. I would have just brought something. Well, normally I think that I would, but I was like, oh, well, I don't. And I said I would bring stuff. They're like, oh, we'll just order something. And it got there in, you know, 30 minutes or whatever. And do you feel like in the –

I exercise great caution. Caution. Control. And restraint. Restraint, yeah. Do you feel like in the journey of, like, the boundaries and the being honest that, like, this is a big step? I think so.

Because normally I would have just, like, gone and bought – because I was like, oh, you know what? I'll do – they've told me not to bring anything. I'll go and get heaps of stuff to and bought because I was like, oh, you know what? I'll do that. Tom and I don't have to bring anything. I'll go and get heaps of stuff to make a cheese board was my first thing. See, when I hear that, I'm like, oh, you've told me to do something and I've decided to do the exact opposite. The exact opposite.

What's the opposite of doing nothing? Making a cheese board. Yeah. Yeah. But I didn't. But, yeah. Tony. Mm-hmm.

I don't want you to get anything for my birthday. I wouldn't anyway. You don't like your birthday. Yeah, that's not a good example. No. I was like, that'll throw you. How would that throw me? No, no, it's too good.

It'd be like, oh, Tony, don't eat dinner tonight. What? Wait, no. Oh, fuck. Would you turn up for the lasagna? You don't have any going, do you? Hey, it's Dwight from Darwin, and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon.

Keyword there, Patreon. Dominic Figuera. Love you, Dom. Thank you. Katie Krull. Ash B. Liam Lozano. And Ryan Pukanski. I thought you were about to say Liam Lozano, and I was like, if you come to my house.

So we're I, okay. Cards on the table. No, no, your timing was right. Okay, great. Yeah. That's good. That's good to know. No, you were good.

Okay, good. Yeah. And no, no, yours was good because I remember that you were telling me about the bechamel and because I've been doing a bit of a gluten cleanse and you like went out of your way to. I made a gluten free lasagna. Yep. Can I also add.

Yes. Because I have been doing a good, I've been to see it. I've been to see a dietician and I'm basically doing like a factory reset. Like we're finding out what's the thing that like your tummy doesn't like. Can I just say, I've been really proud of you for actually like doing it. Thank you. Because you know, when you kind of go, oh yeah, I've got to go to the guy and he said not to have gluten. I go, oh, well, how are you kind of go, oh, yeah, I've got to go to the guy and he said not to have gluten.

I go, oh, well, how are you going? Oh, I've been having gluten. Yeah, why? Imagine doing a survey and being like, what should we not do? And they go, well, don't have gluten. And you go, oh, well, they all say that. And they're just fucking it up. And then in three months they go, well, did you have the gluten?

And you go, oh, yeah, but you always say that. You know what I mean? Imagine that. But you've been really sticking to it. I'm really proud of you. The first few weeks I was sticking to it really hard. I will add. But then you had a baby, like a literal human baby.

And then we were in the hospital like four or five days. And as you can imagine, the specific option. And I don't want to be the guy at the hospital cafeteria. But it's not just the gluten-free. It's like garlic. Is there onions? Is there mushrooms? You can't. Oh, I only have the gluten-free. But it's not just the gluten-free. It's like garlic and – Is there onions? Is there mushrooms? You can't have mushrooms.

You can't have avocado, right? Yeah. Yeah. And so yours like hit the jackpot. And I think another part of the frustration was like you are genuinely grateful for the food, but then they go, oh, you made me this thing, but I can't have this, this, and this, and I can't eat it. See, I did think that.

You know what one of the options was? This is too much Tony. Hashtag too much Tony, my other character. I was like, do you know what I'll do? I'll make two lasagnas, one gluten-free, one not gluten-free. So then Bridge gets the like delicious nummies, not gluten-free one. But then I thought two lasagnas is too much. I really had to pull back on that.

Thank you for that. I appreciate it. But I do appreciate the thought. And also two lasagnas, again, fridge space. The real trooper in this journey has been Bridget, who's been eating bland as fuck food because she's part of the team. Yeah. When all she wants to eat is fucking sushi and soft cheese

because she just hasn't been able to eat it for a year. Oh, no, she hasn't missed out on the soft cheese. She's back on that. Yeah, nice. Yeah, and I bet you're not hating that either. A couple of soft cheeses slipped through the guard. Oh, no, she hasn't missed out on the soft cheese. She's back on that. Yeah, nice. Yeah, and I bet you're not hating that either. A couple of soft cheeses slipped through the guard. Yeah, I bet. Slipped through the guard?

Through the wicketkeeper? So as a sport guy myself. No, like the guard against the food I'm not supposed to eat. Oh, yeah, I see. But it's like snuck through the guards. Yeah. Slipped past the guard? Yeah, it just didn't sound right when you said it.

That's okay. Oh, fuck. I don't know if this is the time, but I think it's going to have to be. A public apology. Oh, I'd love one. Thank you. Finally. Wow.

You're going to be a part of this one, but I don't know if you're going to be receiving it. Oh. What did I do wrong? I feel like I've been really picked on the last couple of days. That's why I was like, oh, maybe this isn't the time. But it's for everyone's safety. For fuck's sake.

Last week you gave some genuinely great advice when I was talking about the fire and you said get the lint from the dryer. Yeah. Can I just very briefly before we get to the apology, I'd just like to very, very, very quickly say that I saw that hack online. Oh, so? So it wasn't like I came up with it. I haven't personally done it.

And I said that I would gift you my link. It's actually in a little Ziploc bag in my house. I'll take it because after you mentioned that last week, we tried it at home and that fucks, that stuff fucking goes. That fucks. No, it doesn't. He fucks. But actually, you've put that stuff fucking goes. That fucks. No, it doesn't. He fucks. But actually, you've put that in the fire.

Yeah, see ya. See ya. Yeah, make sure the door's shut. Yeah. Danielle Donnelly. Yeah, hey, Danielle. Every firefighter listening to Tony suggest burning dry lint is slowly dying inside whilst listening to the episode.

She's a firefighter, Danielle. Yep. I can imagine so. Thank you, Danielle, very much. How many times in my life do you reckon I've gone to put out a fire that's been started by someone putting the dry lint into the fire? She says I'm torn because it actually keeps me employed. That's big fire for you, isn't it?

Yeah, big lint. But the thing is, is that I don't actually understand how the house would set on fire from the fire in the fire because isn't that fire the same fire that would be in the fire anyway? Can you please say fire? Your fire. Do you know what I mean? Because if you're setting a fire in your wood fire,

isn't a lint-based fire the same fire as any old fire? Isn't then the house setting on fire from that fire due to a faulty fire? Place? I hear what you're saying. You know what I mean? Because what's the difference between that fire and any other fire that would maybe be started with a Dorito I saw was a great fire starter. Yeah, I do hear that as well.

Yeah. So with my fire, you like open the glass door. I think that's quite standard. Yep. And the fire's in there. And so say if you put wood and paper and kindling and stuff in there, it'll slowly burn away. So you put it in there, you close the door and it slowly burns away. Yep.

You close the door and it slowly burns away. Yep. It is not possible to have the lint in the fire and get the door closed before it fucking goes off. That's how, like, ready it is. Okay, so if you weren't expecting that to hoof up, then potentially the fire could spit out. It's almost not potentially. I can't express how much it fucking just

goes oh and then some people don't have the glass door they've just got a a thing and because it's so light and fluffy it just it takes off okay all right see no i understand that a bit of wood is is heavy yeah yeah and like because i was like oh someone tony mentioned this in the podcast whoa okay you know what all right i am really sorry about that then because I didn't realize it was such a, I didn't understand that it was such a potentially dangerous thing. Danielle has also sent through things I've heard, putting out a fire started by a dry lint also in the bedroom. Pretty wordy, but I'll pay it.

Yeah. Oh, that's too dry. Well, he goes, oh, that shit really burns, doesn't it? Yeah. Well done, Danielle. Oh, that's too dry to put in there. Tony told me not to put it in, but I didn't. I'm paying the consequences.

I have to make a public apology for suggesting you put this in here. Do you want to? I know you have apologised, but do you want to? Yeah, I would like to formally apologise. I didn't understand the... Don't listen to every... Don't believe everything you say online. That's what I'll say.

Sorry. Sorry, everyone, for any harm that I may have caused during this time. I am completely and sincerely apologetic. Notice I didn't say sorry. All the best apologies do not include the word sorry. You've watched politics. I have. The show.

Politics. Well, that's bloody Mork and Jesse and Sally and Ding Dong from Succession. Yeah. I will add, in defense of Tony Lodge, if we didn't believe everything we saw on the internet, how less fun would this place be? Exactly. Then what would we laugh about? Well.

Except they ain't aging-age dildos on pizza. Yeah. All right. Speaking of stupid shit on the internet. Shareholders meeting. Shareholders meeting. Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen.

Uh-huh. Oh, I'll just do a roll call. Cameron Hutchings. Present. Captain of the ship Muscles CEO Tony Lodge

Present Ryan Present Yeah, Ryan Tarpers Say no if you're not here Okay, seems all good They're all here

Everyone's here I should have organised it When we used to do this in the radio studio i'd have like a dramatic drone yeah i hated it okay that's why we've decided not to do it yeah and i even if i thought we did it as a team decided okay yeah the lifeblood of this podcast uh-huh is the tarpers supporting the patreon and tarpers are tony and ryan podcast listeners we love having you on board without tarpa, Cam wouldn't be here and therefore wouldn't be able to use us

and his TARP employment status to pick up dudes on Grindr. Yep. We haven't decided really where officially we stand on that, but I think it's affirmative. Okay. So I, Ryan, Vice Captain of the ship, would like to call a shareholders meeting to offer potential investors...

An exciting opportunity. An exciting opportunity. I feel like we're about to sell people into an MLM, and I promise that's not what's going to happen. Do you want to work from home and choose your own hours? Hours? We also, before recording, watched an old TV skit about this guy trying to sell us an exercise machine that was just a shopping trolley for $44,000.

Yeah. Maybe we should put that in the thread because it feels a little bit like that. It is that kind of hype, isn't it? We currently have 2,000-ish Patreon members. If by the end of June we can get that back over to 3,000, it has been 3,000 before But you know Cozzy lives We've told people to discontinue and pay their own bills

Which is definitely a good idea But if we get to back over $3,000 by the end of June So right now it's the 12th of June Yep So a couple of weeks A couple of weeks Tony and I will do a live stream For 50 continuous hours.

That's one minute for every Patreon member. The more people that sign up, the longer we go. Every Patreon equals one minute. The minimum is 3,000 Patreons. The minimum is 3,000 minutes. The minimum is 50 hours of an exclusive live stream. An exclusive 50-hour live stream for exclusive tapas. Now, we've penciled it in for Friday the 7th of July,

and we'll go all weekend, and for as long as we need to, I will die for this community. Yeah, me too. Tony Lodge. We're backing it in. How are you feeling? I'm in a couple of months. You know how people say I'm in two months?

I'm in probably about eight months. Okay. Run me through them. I really want people to sign up because I want to do the live stream. Yep. I really don't want people to sign up because I really don't want to do the live stream. Yep. And then just that six more times.

Okay. Yeah, that's all the eight months. No, I'm actually, I just, there's part of me that's like, there's like, is there any way that we can get there? Well, we'll find out in 18 days. We might find out tomorrow. Who knows? We're currently at 2,000.

All right, let me just read some more things. Okay. Let me just read some more things. So it's for exclusive tarpers and champion tapas can watch, get involved, participate, their names will be in the live stream. You can become an exclusive tapa, be part of the live stream, and then fuck off again. Oh, yeah, see ya.

We'd love you to stay, but if you just want to get involved in this and fuck off again, it's fine. A bit like what we did with the water bottles. It was like if you sign up and then fuck off, that's okay. Any level of Patreon counts towards the $3,000, including it's like $2.50 in the US for the bottom one. So that version. But only exclusive tarpers and champion tarpers can actually participate and get involved.

Can watch. We are going to do it across the weekend. So if you want to join in, you're more than welcome. We're going to do it during the week. I'm like, oh, but people have got work and stuff. And, you know, it's tough. So it's across the weekend. But the more people who – this is what I'm nervous about. I have faith that have faith that we'll get to 3 000 i just don't want to get to 4 000

how many hours how many hours can you cam can you google 4 000 minutes in hours 4 000 divide 60 oh that fuck that just use a calculator don't be a nerd 66 67 okay hours yeah fuck off which is 66, 67. Okay. Hours? Yeah. Fuck off. Which is, if we started at midday Friday, we'd finish at like Monday morning. So this is the thing is that like we'd, yeah. How long have you ever been awake for without drugs? Literally not even 24 hours. Like I need my sleep and you know that. Actually, fuck. Why did you wait

till now to mention yeah why did you know I got so excited and I thought it'd be a fun idea and there's part of me that's like there's no way that that many people are gonna do it there's just no way so you've never been awake for 24 hours I don't think so I'm not like I'm a sleeper like I need myself I go to bed early every night I'm like happy to wake up early like I just I'm a sleeper. Like I need my sleep. I go to bed early every night. I'm like happy to wake up early. Like I just, I'm a. Now in the next come, in the next coming weeks, does that make sense? In the coming weeks, we, there will be some challenges set

where if Tony completes a challenge, she might be able to buy herself a 20 minute nap. Yep. And stuff like that. So people will be able to suggest challenges and vote on and stuff like that. But do you think straight off the top, you will physically be able to get 50 hours in without sleeping?

Or are you going to need to do some challenges and some wheeling and dealing? I've got a lot more chance staying up for 50 hours than I had at eating the 700 nuggets, I reckon. Well, we didn't even get close to that. No, we didn't. I think we ate like 400. We ate 200. Yeah.

And that was with Torbs and Bridget and Tommy Jacket having a fucking good go at themselves. Yeah, they did have a good go. I reckon Bridget ate more nuggets than us combined. And she was just casually eating them. Yeah. Anyway, separate challenge. But yeah, I reckon I'm actually, I might like my sleep, but I'm determined. Yeah, you are determined.

Like when I get my brain into something, and I think that through the rollercoaster of emotions that are going to happen over the time, I'm going to come in and out of that. But I think my baseline is that I'm determined. Okay. When you go down, and when we talk about the ebbs and flows, don't fucking wink at me when I say that.

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. And I apologize. What if we need to kiss to stay awake on the live stream? Is that medically proven?

I don't know. Have you done your research? I've just read it here. One way to find out. This Dr. Tony Lodge. It's in his blog. I do understand that like the ebbs and flows and the highs and lows. Because there's going to be times when we fucking,

we're going to butt heads. Like we're going to get angry with each other. We never butted heads, especially not in the last 25 minutes. Not during the break of this podcast. Oh, never. Never. But like, you know what I mean? But my question is, we've got the ability to go down,

but are we in the heat of the battle going to be able to come back up? Yep, I can. Okay. Because when I need to be up, I'll be up. Okay. Yep. Okay. I actually, I think I can do this.

So what we're going to do is we're going to get an Airbnb. Yep. So we're going to get a big house. So all the people, we're going to get a lot of helpers and stuff. We've got a big team. A big team. Yep. And so everyone's going to be sleeping there, getting up there. We're going to try and get a pool. We won't be, obviously. I'll get a pool. We won't a big team. A big team. And so everyone's going to be sleeping there, getting up there.

We're going to try and get a pool. We won't be, obviously. We won't be sleeping there. We'll be staying up. We'll be cooking there. There'll be a pool out the back. So maybe I reckon for me. The pool's going to be a saviour.

As cold as it's going to be in the middle of winter here in Melbourne, I think jumping into a freezing cold pool, jolt of energy shock you back into being awake. I'm back for another couple of hours. Yeah. Except when you are that zapped of energy, can anything bring you back? Or are you just like down?

You know what I mean? Well, that's what I think. Okay. If anything's going to give me a jolt, it'll be the pool. Just to let me know I'm alive. I think when you get too warm and too cozy and like curl up on the trackies

and under a blanket. It's like how they say that if you're driving and you feel like you're getting a bit tired or whatever, you should never put the heater on. No. You should blast the air con or whatever. I mean, you should ideally pull over. One time, do you remember Airwave gum that had kind of like the menthol eucalyptus-y thing.

When you chewed it, you're like, and you can like feel it. So once I was so tired, I reckon I put three, not just pellets, but three packets of that in my mouth and was chewing it and there was just so much menthol going through. And I was like. Your eyes would be watering. Yeah. So it was dangerous as fuck, but at least I was awake.

Oh, my God. Okay. That's what you got to look forward to. I think that I'm really excited. I think it's going to be really good, but also I hope it doesn't happen. All right. The more people who join. The longer we'll go.

And I have one question for people listening right now. Question. Do you want to be a part of history? people listening right now question do you want to be a part of history i mean the longest ever broadcast marathons only 27 hours isn't it sorry it's just a so would we give some backstory that one no i'd reckon we'll definitely make that there's a radio station that just broke a world record of 27 hours straight of a radio show even though tony worked on one that's about 400 meters away yeah they did 56 we did 56 and they just said oh we did a world record of 27 yeah how embarrassing for them i'm so embarrassing um question though yeah no no no no tony just no

fuck you tony just did the international sign for we'll edit that bit out. No, you brought it up. I'm fucking finishing it. I'm sad for them. Question. You were a part of a 56-hour live stream. I was, yeah. But with being radio, there was like ad breaks. Music and ads.

I remember when we were talking about this and you went, oh, yeah. And I went, yeah, but we've got no music to like chill between the songs. It's actually us the whole time. So when I worked on Jason PJ and we did the 56 hours, it was like they had rules of like you can't do more than two songs back to back and ads can't go for longer than an amount. But they were live on Facebook the whole time and us, the team, we were mic'd up as well.

So everyone on Facebook could watch it live. But, yeah, having nothing to break up the time, it's literally just going to be us the whole time and i think what i like about it being around the clock is that different time zones people can just check in see how we're doing maybe tarpers in different places want to catch up together and watch together yeah or even like um all you know how you can do like watch party and watch netflix on something maybe we can figure out a way for people can figure out how to like watch together and do a little side chat.

But there'll be comments. So you'll be able to comment live. We'll be reading stuff. And, but basically we need you to sign up so that we can do it. This is our promise. If we get to 3000, we will do this and a minute per person. So we'll get to 3000 and then stop. Cancel the internet.

And then stop it. We'll get Kim K to post something so that no one can access it. We and then stop cancel the internet and then stop it we'll get kim k to post something so that no one can access it we need a distraction on the internet yeah hey kardashian yeah get the champagne bottle out i love the kardashians do you think they'd like me if we met in real life do you think we'd be friends well later in the year we're going to the u.s and i would assume that anyone in the u. the US just walks past her in the street all the time. That's going to be me. Anyway. What would you say to her?

Oh, I don't even know. I actually don't know what I would say. Hopefully you'd be more chill than you were with Alison. Can I hug you? I was trying to be polite. Anyway, this is a different thing. The live stream. Patreon.com slash Tony and Ryan. Yep.

Minimum 3,000 patrons. Minimum 3,000 minutes. Minimum 50 hours exclusive live stream. Yep. Very exciting. I'm like, I'm nervous, but pumped. Yeah, fuck me. Fuck.

All right. You got a lot to say? I do. Ollie Pote, who is part of our Facebook group. Oh, we met Ollie. Yeah, we've met Ollie. Ollie, he's the best. Yep. And his you'll love to see that he shared in the Facebook group was Tigerloaf bread.

And that's it, just bread and butter. He's 100% correct. Yep. Have we talked about Tigerloaf before? We have, and I just thought this is the perfect time to bring this up because it is so perfect, and it's soup season here in Australia, and you know what is fucking great? Big bowl of fucking hot, pumpy soup,

and you've got your crusty bread and butter that's thicker than cheese. Like a centimetre of butter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You need a good few mils of butter on the top of that bad boy. Should we do some tiger bread pumpkin soup at the live show? Should we do some? Is that something you can make in the kitchen? I don't know if you could make the tiger bread as good as they could at Coles.

No, but like we can make it at Pumpkin Soup. We could buy that. I don't know. Is Pumpkin Soup what you want when you're live streaming? Because Pumpkin Soup gives me the shits. Pumpkin Soup always gives me diarrhea. Okay, no, that's out. Because it's all those nutrients at once.

Yeah, no, it's out then. Yeah. I think the thing about the live stream is that you think you want all this junk food and heaps of coffee, but I reckon you've got to like... What goes up must come down. Well, yeah, I think that you've got to actually stay like an even level of like... Yeah. Yeah, because if you had a heap of caffeine or a heap of sugar or whatever, you'd be sparking all over the place. So...

You need to save those spikes for the end, do you reckon? What's your vibe on coffee then? I don't think you could have too much of it. Well, I think that if you drank a lot of coffee in 50 hours, you would die, wouldn't you? Is that a thing? It's like if you drink too much milk, remember those challenges? People drank all that milk and they died.

Yeah, but I guess what I'm saying is, is it just no coffee or is it just not much coffee? Because, again, what goes up must come down. Not mucho, maybe. Because I reckon you could have a couple, but I think you'd need to use them sparingly. Yeah. Maybe we'll give you coffee tokens.

We will have four coffee tokens and you get to pick where you use them. Write that down, Producer Cam. Yeah, okay, that's good intel. We'll send that to our project manager. My love to see it from Zachary Hall. Hi, Zachary Hall. The Next Door Neighbours, their children, opened a lemonade and cookie stand today.

And I just thought, oh, it's like the cliche that you see in the movies. But he just said, I just can't remember the last time I actually saw a lemonade stand. I don't think I've ever seen that. So I popped over during lunch and I said, what are you raising? They're raising money? And they go, yeah, yeah.

It's for the local sports team are getting new outfits and the kids play in the soccer team and they want to get the new jerseys and stuff. So it wasn't even just for them to buy like a toy. It's for the local sports team are getting new outfits and the kids play in the soccer team and they want to get the new jerseys and stuff. So it wasn't even just for them to buy like a toy. It was for a good cause. Yeah. And Zachary said, and I can confirm the cookie was genuinely incredible because I like little homemade biscuits and stuff as well as lemonade.

That's so cute. And he goes, I just love to see it. And even though. One day Mabel's going to do that. Open the lemonade stand. Yeah, Mabel's going to be like, oh, dad, we need to raise money for my girl guides or footy team or Auskick team or something.

And I'll be like... And I will be able to do that with her. Don't you dare open that store if Tony's not available because you can rob that bitch blind. Aunt Toddy needs to help. You can't do... What's that? because you can rob that bitch blind. Aunt Toddy needs to help. You can't do un... Tony, you've just stopped talking.

Unsupervised. Aunt Toddy needs to be involved with all craft, as you know. If Mabel wants to have a lemonade stand, I would recommend her not do it out the front of our house but do it in the hallway of your apartment building, at the front door of your house. There's a lot of people that are fans of this podcast that live in my building. So, yeah, Mabel, of Tony and Ryan fame.

I just reckon at your front door. Oh, yeah. There's a lot of people that smoke weed in my apartment building, so they'd be interested in the munchies, I think. That sounded like I was saying that from me, but that's not me. Okay, so her target market for, I mean, cookies and lemonade, stoners of the year. Yeah.

She'll make a fortune. Yes. Don't wait for the Girl Scouts. Let's just. Well, God, I'll never move. I'll just stay there and she'll make money and I'll take some off my rent. Yeah. But thanks for sending that through, Zachary.

That is a great year. It's very sweet. If you've got any questions about the potential live stream that we're pushing for at the moment, jump into our Facebook thread for today. We can answer a heap of questions if you have any, but you can check out the Patreon. It's in the link in our show notes,

and we'd love to have you, kind of. To a point. We'd kind of love to have you. We'd love to have 3,000 to 3,004 of you. Yeah. Any more not required. Yeah, I'll go the extra four minutes and that's about it. Tomorrow on the show.

Now, Tony actually doesn't know about this either. Oh. I've learned something about Torbs. My boyfriend? Yeah, that I don't think you're aware of. And I'm just going to put it out there. Just when we thought we couldn't love Torbs anymore. Just when we couldn't think, oh, my God.

Has the heir to the Toblerone fortune really gone and outdone himself? I don't know what's happening, but you know that Torbz is actually genuinely the best person on the planet. Are you listening to what I'm saying? No, but it feels like you're about to take a hook turn. Nah. If Torbz was a 10 out of 10, make it

an 11 out of 10. Alright. He is the best. I love him. I'll be like, fuck. I'll put it under the category of, what can't he do? Oh, I'll tell you what he can do. Sorry. Talk to you then. Talk to you then.

Bye. Love you. Bye.
