Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Arthur Tony Lodge. We are calling Samantha who's in Warburton in WA. Now, were we going for a Sammy or a Samantha or a Sam? Arthur. Let's find out. Let's see how they answer. Hello? Hey, Sammy. Hey.

How are you going? It's Tony and Ryan. I'm good. I'm Hey. How are you going? It's Tony and Ryan. I'm good. I'm good. How are you? Yeah, we're good. Now, do you go by Sammy? Because I very confidently dropped a Sammy and I'm not sure if it fits or not.

It's fine. Okay, by Sam, Sammy, Samantha, the whole thing. Didn't mention Thar. What about Thar? No, there was no Thar in the list of names. So, unfortunately. Okay. That's an incorrect one from Tony. But will you approve today's podcast?

Most definitely. Woohoo! Yes! Hi, it's Sam from Outback Western Australia and I approve this podcast. All right, coming up today. Unfortunately, as we all know, Tapa Page's wedding was off. Sorry, Page. Love you. But two Tapas have, in fact, tied the knot. So, we have made it to a US wedding.

We have. You may have heard on the Fuck It Fund earlier in the year, we said, we've got some cash. If you just want to say, fuck it, let's do it. Yeah. We can help you out. Now, these guys were stuck in COVID, so their wedding got cancelled. They work in a hospital, so cash was tight.

They were in a tight spot. Guys, typers have tied the knot. And it was so wonderful. Now, you're going to hear audio from them. I'm glad that we asked them what they thought of the day after. 17 drinks? Yep, probably about that. Yeah, so and a festive day and let's just. A festive day. A festive day and also we've learned some things and we've also

is it fair to say we both paid the price for a good evening? Yeah. Tony's not a big party, are you? So Vegas is like the wrong place for me. Yeah. And I, yeah, anyway. We'll get to that. We'll get to that. The other day I shared, though, that the jet lag, the travel, the missing home had gotten to me and I'd been sucked into buying a few things online that maybe didn't pay off

the way that I expected to. Yeah, well, didn't pay off. Is that a nice way of saying? I paid them, but it didn't work off the way that I expected to. Yeah, well, didn't pay off. Is that a nice way of saying? I paid them, but it didn't work. Yeah, someone got paid off. Someone got paid and I paid them and it was not really that fruitful for me. Pippa is at home with licky paws, itchy licky paws. I bought something online that said it was going to fix all your licky paw problems,

your prowl problems. I got 99 problems and licky paws is all of them yeah it's still one um uh so it did not work and a few people like got on the bandwagon to support me and shared some things that they'd bought during like a late night scroll is it retail retail therapy is like that classic term right but it's like a little hit of dopamine like it's yeah is that the kind of which classic term, right? But it's like a little hit of dopamine. Like it's- Yeah. Is that the kind of- Which is pretty cooked, isn't it?

It's cooked, but I get like, I mean, everyone gets it though. We all do it. So, there was a few people- Yeah, lay it on me, dog. A few people that joined on the bandwagon. And Jodie, who shared- So, she shared this in our Facebook group, Tony and Ryan Podcast. Yep.

Everyone can share their stories. Jodie, this is a bit of me, and I think it might be a bit of you as well. Always health and fitness shit. It's like I become a different person after 9pm. Not 9pm. Intentions are different, but very much still the same person. Still on the couch. Because the next morning you wake up and go, oh, that thing from Amazon came. Who cares?

Sorry, but before you tell me what Jodie got, a quick audit. How many? Two treadmills, one stand-up paddleboard. No, I don't use either of them. Moving on. Okay. I hate this. I love this.

Bring it on, Jodie. Where are we rowing today, sweetheart? No, so she just said it's just always health and fitness shit because it hits nine o'clock and she goes, you know what? I've polished off that tub of ice cream. I need to change. I will run a marathon tomorrow. I will do that.

Yeah. You know what? Actually, after we were in New York City and the marathon was on, I was like, I could do that. I should start training for that. I could do that. I should start training for that. I would just love to do it, to be like I did that in my life,

but I know that it would take me a couple of years to get there. Like I'm not literally going to be like next year I'll do this. I know it would take a long time to train for. You cried at the thought of walking half of it. So did you, babe. Literally when I was like I don't want to do this, you were like neither do I. There's no way I can walking half of it. So did you, babe. Literally, when I was like, I don't want to do this, you were like, neither do I. There's no way I can walk half of it. What I will do is run double. Well, you know, that's how impressive a person I am. I do think you know that saying like, your eyes are bigger than your stomach? I do think when something's like in the future, you're like

your ability to do stuff in two years. I'm gung-ho about shit. Yeah. But I reckon it'd be six weeks out from the marathon. You'd be like, so how far is it? I think the thing with me is that- What? You got to run it?

Well, yeah. Can I drive in my Audi? Yeah. Or can someone, could I get an Uber maybe or something? The thing is, is that I love the idea of doing so. And I get, i am by nature a very enthusiastic person yep and i really like that about myself i think i've spent the last couple of years trying to not be as enthusiastic why are you not trying to be because i just feel

silly i feel like a frivolous like dumb girl when i'm like that like that people see me and go like oh she's just like she's so um like what's the word I'm looking for um so silly doesn't think about like what it actually looks like it's only well not that it's silly at all but it's sillier sorry it's less silly if you go do it and right, I get so enthusiastic about stuff and I say yes to all this stuff and then I get home and I go, oh, what if I can't do it? And then all the self-doubt rolls in and that's when I then cancel or go, oh, no, I don't want to do it.

I tell you what's a really like weird, like good energy though, when people think you're silly for saying you're going to do it and then you do it and then you give them a bit of fucking suck on that one. But like with this podcast, it was kind of like, oh, you're trying to be famous. I'm like, fucking look at me now, dog. See you. Oh, righto.

Anyway, let's run a marathon. Jill Sharp shared in our Facebook group, in 2019, this is also very Tony Lodge energy, in 2019, my boyfriend at the time decided he wanted to get a pet bird at 11pm. Of course He's like It's bird hour

Yeah, it's bird time The clock's ticking on the birds What time did you decide to get Pippa? Months It was a range of years that we decided And Jill says And I was like, okay, I guess so I'm not really a bird guy

But you know what? But Jill said that Jill said she's not really a bird guy. Oh, you're not. But you know what? But Jill said that. Jill said she's not really a bird guy. And it's 11 p.m. And all of a sudden he gets off the couch and starts getting dressed to go out. And she's like, where are you going, babe? And he goes, oh. No.

No. You can place an order at 11 p.m. But if you're picking it up at night, it's not a legit bed. Like Mark a pet. picking it up at night, it's not a legit bird. Like Mark a pet. He had somehow arranged to drive to another province to pick up a budgie that night. So, they did.

They got to this old lady's house at, like, midnight. She only spoke French, so they just kind of, like, threw some money at her and left and took the bird home. Threw some money at a French lady. This is the Moulin Rouge. Ooh la la. The budgie ended up bonding with Jill instead of the boyfriend. Yeah, classic.

So, when they inevitably broke up, she says she had to take the bird with me. I love her though, lol. That's what Jill said. So, she's still got this bird, this impulse bird purchase. I don't want to get ahead of myself here, but does anyone just smell in five years a fucking true crime animal black market? This all just doesn't feel right. Well, that's Tiger King, isn't it?

Tiger King 3. Budgie King. Budgie Queen for Jill. If you message at 11pm and it's like, must collect tonight, do not speak English, cash only, you're just like. Yeah, no questions asked. Yeah. You know, and like.

And in random other news, the San Diego Zoo has been robbed again today. She's like, yeah, so we went and picked up this budgie, but it was an eagle. And I'm not really sure whether that's all legit or not. Yeah. And most birds have four legs, yeah? Yeah, that's all good. And it's actually a lion as well. No, that's a rat with wings stuck on it. A rat with wings. Elizabeth said

I bought a 500 pack of plates because I got sick of doing the fucking dishes. Yes, yes. I've done that with socks and underwear. I've actually done that with Asos will deliver the next day. Yeah. The iconic one. The iconic's quite fast. Yeah. And I was like looking at the laundry. I was like, nah. I wouldn't have thought so. Oh, rich guy over here. Oh, no.

God, you laughed at me being like, ha ha, I'm famous now. But oh, I'll just order some new socks. No, but you know, I'm like a, I'll go shopping once for like the season. Oh, yeah. So, I don't like, oh, winter's coming and I'll just one day I'll go, I need jackets, it's cold. Yeah. Bang, bang, bang, done.

Won't go shopping for six months. Summer's around. Short, short, shirt, shirt, socks, jocks, bang, done for six months. That's nice. So, it's like just a like, and that's it. No, see, I just wear the same coats and then complain they don't fit me anymore. And then the next year I go, well, this doesn't fit me. And I go, it didn't fit me last year.

Yeah. But I got away with it last year, so. Yeah, true. How long you have that jacket for? This denim jacket. The classic blue denim jacket. I reckon I bought this actually just before we started the podcast. Really? So, what's that? Two years? Two and a bit years. Yeah. It's gone pretty strong. It's from Cotton On. Seen some things. It has seen some things. Yeah. It's had to be washed pretty well a couple of times. Marek says, came home from a hospital night shift, so late night,

been on the tools all night and bought some vinyl records. Sick. Yeah, and that's pretty normal. So, I was like, Marek, get over it. Then the rest of the comment is, which meant I also had to buy a turntable. Yeah, no, they are complimentary products. Yeah, yeah. So, did he realise that after that rocked up?

Well, I don't really know, but he says later. So, I'm guessing like a bit of time had passed and he's like, how do you play these? Yeah, I mean, he like the record, he's holding the record and then looking at his iPhone and going, I don't think He's trying to shove it in the CD drive on his computer or something. M Louisa Monaco, this is a bit of you, I reckon. Okay. M says, I bought $380 worth of hot sauce after watching heaps of episodes of Hot Ones on YouTube. Yeah, it's great. And you can

spend a fortune on hot sauce. Yeah. YouTube. Yeah, it's great. And you can spend a fortune on a hot sauce. Yeah. It's like a collector's item. And people get really into it and they get their, yeah, because in the show, I think they have 10 different sauces each episode. Well, so I think Em's bought all of them. How many Scobells is it at her house?

That's very funny. Science question. That's good. Chilly chat. Also, the Scobell system makes no sense. It doesn't make any sense. I've watched a few. I've watched this documentary once.

Like, if 10's warm and 20's really hot and then you go, well, here's 3 million and you go, well, fucking something's amiss. Yeah. 10, 23 million. Yeah, I'll go for 3 million. 10 plus 10 should be double the heat. And then somehow you're in the millions and you go, well, it can't be 87,000 times hotter than that first one. Yeah, like it doesn't add up. No.

Like the ratio's way off. The ratio's way off. Yeah, no, I agree with that. It's a curve. It's a Scobell curve. It probably actually is. Okay. Anyway.

Good math jokes from you. But the hot sauce never arrived. Went somewhere in the United States. She never got the sauce. And they were like, well, it says that it's delivered. Never got the money back. And other random news. A truck driver shat himself.

I wonder what happened to that sauce. A burglar. I wonder what happened to that sauce. That's probably that guy crying into a bottle of milk. It's a mystery, though. We don't know what happened. Crying into a bottle of milk. It's a mystery, though.

We don't know what happened. And, like, it's a – fuck, that's expensive. It's an expensive purchase if it's still rocked up. You know what I mean? Like, it was a dumb purchase anyway. But it's expensive to not get. Yeah. Fuck me. And another animal-related one that I cannot believe,

Charlotte said a sheep. One singular sheep And I replied And I said do you mean a live sheep And she goes Yeah here's a picture of a sheep Here's a fucking sheep Sorry the picture showed he told me

He's got a lead on like a dog with a collar Yeah It's their pet now Are they cool at a dog park what's the deal with that I don't know hoofing they cool at a dog park? What's the deal with that? I don't know. Hoofing around like in the dog park. Did I tell you at the time me and Redders bought a whole lamb?

What? Yeah, from Narrogin. Yeah. Like as in to eat or you bought it as a pet? What do you mean? No, no, like to eat. Oh, like to. Yeah, but it was like a whole lamb.

Did you pop it on like a spit? And then did you pop it, did you cook it? Sorry. No, but did you like do a rotisserie? It was like for a local footy club raffle or something. Yeah. And the local butcher goes, yeah, we'll put a sheep in. And I just assumed it was like a cute little meat tray.

We had to drive to Narrogin with three eskies. And then the butcher like chopped it all up. Oh, fuck, that's so green, man. Yeah, and we had to drive up there. We called it Adam Lambert. That's hilarious. Thank you. But it took us months to get through this lamb

because there was so- Do you have a bunch of meat on a lamb? How did you even fit in your freezer? Well, we had- That's a great question. Some of it was at Hot FM where we worked in. Nice, yeah. Another bit was at Bridget's house.

And then some was in Red is a Nice Fraser and it was just all lamb. And I think we had everyone around for a bit, like Bridget did a big roast. A big, oh, yeah. And I'm like, do you guys mind? And we're like, please, can everyone just come over and try to get out of this lamb? It's all I ate for months. Oh, well, I don't think Charlotte ate her shape. I'll be a shout out to her one.

Yeah. Hey, it's Sam from Outback Western Australia and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon. That's Tapas, Tony and Ryan Podcast. Lindsay P. Good on you, Lindsay P. Leah, Tyler Putney or Putney maybe.

Nalina, Drew Gadsby. And a shout-out to all of our friends over at the Patreon. Last week I did a live stream from my hotel room and did like a little Trader Joe's haul. And haven't we been hearing about your Trader Joe's bag? Yeah, I've been using that bag non-stop since then. Were you showing that off in the live stream? Yeah, I did. I showed it off and I was like, I would love this if it was art, like, because it's quite a cool thing. Someone was like, go buy another one and frame it. And I was like, I might not frame a bag, but that's okay. Well, to be fair, you are the one and frame it. And I was like, I might not frame a bag, but that's okay.

Well, to be fair, you are the one that said it's like art. Yeah, that's true. They were yes anding. They were supporting your journey. Yeah, pushing us along. But I mentioned that like people were asking questions about where we'd been in the US and stuff. And I was like, oh, I haven't done whatever someone brought up because we've been staying like in the CBD. Yeah.

What does CBD mean? Central Business District. Yeah. So, in America, that means weed and drugs. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And so. But they don't know what. No, they were like, what are you talking about? So, when you go, oh, what are you doing tonight? I'm in the CBD. They think you're in like a K-hole. Yeah. Because I was just like. Like in the CBD. doing tonight? I'm in the CBD. They think you're in like a K-hole. Yeah. Yeah. Because I was just like.

Like in the CBD. Yeah. Like I'm in it. I'm in the haze. I'm in the haze. And I said that and everyone was like, oh, like, have you been partaking? And I was like, what? Do you mean parkour in the city?

Like, what are you talking about? I spent days in there, bro. Yeah. And they were just like, oh, I don what cbd is if not drugs and then somebody um from australia was like do you not say cbd elsewhere so cbd is like downtown in australia like central business like the middle middle of the city downtown yeah it is the city yeah the biggest part of where all the big buildings and the banks and everything central business district when i where are you going tonight oh the c buildings and the banks and everything, central business district.

Where are you going tonight? Oh, the CBD, the middle of the city. Yeah. No, that's not what they call it here. And everyone was like, wow, Tony, you're being like really drug positive. And I was like, what? No, I'm not. I'm talking about being in the city. To be fair, the CBD is pretty drug positive.

But anyway, so I just wanted to share that with anybody who maybe if you're an Australian travelling in America, you jump in a cab and say can you take me to the cbd you might not end up where you think you're going you'll have a good time though yeah you will have a pretty good time while we're playing this game a jumper uh in america is like a jumpsuit wears fast that's like a hoodie yeah or a sweater yep and then in australia we call flip-flops thongs and that is and a thong is a g-string yeah yeah i had to pay the price for that terminology a few times yeah um why because you were like oh put on your g-string what are you talking about have a big o-ring on the side

yeah that sounds good sexy good women's underwear um hey we're thong positive on this show We are, absolutely And it's not gender specific No, it's not Anyone can wear a G-string A thong, sorry For my American friends Earlier this year we announced the Fuck It Fund Yes

Which is money for that thing that you've always wanted to go Fuck it, let's just do it But you might not have been in a spot to be able to do it So a few months ago we sent those New Zealand girls to the Zorb ball thing. We did. We sent Fernando in Brazil to the- Eduardo. Eduardo.

Eduardo. What else did we do for the fucker fun? Dusty in Texas got a tattoo. That's right. Lindsay got Femke, her dog, a sidecar. That's right. The dog sidecar. And in Perth?

Seren. Seren. We got the mouthpiece for the trumpet thing. Oh, for the saxophone. Saxophone, yes. So, we've had a lot of fun. Should have prepared this. Yeah.

I have a child, don't blame me. But we've had a lot of fun with the fucker fun this year. And it's like over now because we've- We've spent all our money. We've spent all our money. But we had fun. Everybody else had fun. But we got to experience one of the fucker funds.

Yeah, so Matt and Callie, we spoke to them a few months ago, and this is when we called them. Let me just refresh your memory. We got engaged and had this idea in our head of what we were going to do, and then COVID hit. And then when your fuck it fund came up, we were like, well, that's like the perfect thing to, because that's like, fuck it. We're just going to get married and let's just have fun and just do it.

So why not in Vegas and just go? So first of all, we would absolutely love to help you guys out and like help make this happen for you, because how fucking awesome would a Vegas wedding be? However. But speaking of how awesome a Vegas wedding would be, we'll help you out, but you have to let us come. Well, duh. So we made it happen. And we didn't realise.

Gosh, sorry for inviting myself to the wedding. Yeah, you really just lent in there. I like that. Upon reflection, maybe that's why everyone was looking at me like this on the day. No, we just wanted your money. We didn't want you to come. We can't believe you actually did it. But they both work in hospitality. So when they lost their venue for their wedding, they also lost their income stream for a long time. Yeah. So guys, it happened in Vegas. Yay!

And I was like one of those, yeah. Oh, Tony's clapping. This is great. Yeah. It was such a beautiful day. It was at one of those little. Little wedding chapel in Vegas. I thought it was like the little wedding chapel, but then you looked across the street and there was like the Vegas mini chapel. And then over the other corner, it was like mini chapel Vegas. Yeah, there's like 900. Yeah, there's so many.

You'll be shocked by how many Elvis's there are as well. I don't think the one that we saw was the real one. Sorry, don't want to break the day. Now, Tony, we obviously know Matt and Callie quite well now because we, I mean, stayed a lot longer than we needed to, if you know what I'm saying. Had a pretty good one. All of their family left. Yeah, and it was just us, the bride and the groom,

and a couple of literally yard-long yard glasses. Full of alcoholic slushy. Yeah. But, Tony, how long, how much did you know them? How well did you know them beforehand? Not really. So, the only time we talked to Kelly was on the phone, the call that you just heard. And we hadn't met her now husband at all.

Yeah. And did that stop you from crying in the wedding? No. Nothing could stop me from crying at a wedding. While we were sitting in the foyer, this makes it sound very unromantic, while we were sitting in the foyer, we heard the of someone else getting married and I started crying then as well. Like, I'm a wedding crier.

I love, love so much. So, the people, because they really churn through them at the Chapel A. Like, it's a tight ship. They run a tight ship. So, you walk into the foyer andurn through them at the chapel, eh? Like, it's a tight ship. They run a tight ship. So, you walk into the foyer and you're, like, in the middle of the building. And to the left, there's a chapel. And to the right. So, they've got them, like.

Alternating. Like, but just off each other. So, no one's getting married at the same time. They're, like, halfway through the next. They're staggered. So, at a lot of music festivals now, they'll have two stages side by side. So, when one act's on, the next act's setting up. Yeah.

So, they go, thank you, Las Vegas. And then they just go and flip the switch and they go, all right, who's ready to rock? Yeah. So, there's a bit of that action going on. So, we're in the foyer and the wedding before us is wrapping up and they walked out. And I was just, you know, because everyone, it's a fun day. I was like, oh, congratulations. And I looked at Tony to kind of like hint to maybe say congratulations as well.

These people just walked out and Tony was like. Balling. Balling my eyes out. I just think it's so nice. And because I like the idea of just saying, fuck it, let's do it. And just getting married because you're like, we love each other, not because the hubbub of your family and your, you know, like I just like it.

Now, it was an Elvis marriage, but, Tony, share with everyone what you said to me after because, like, what we think might be a bit lame and tacky, what did you, like? So, I was kind of expecting it to be, like, a bit cringe. Yeah. But I think it was the perfect amount of being fun, lighthearted, and it actually wasn't too much. Like, it was still lovely and Matt and Kelly both got to share,

like, their own vows and stuff like that. But there was a bit of, you know, uh-huh, but it wasn't too much. But I think every time he did, like, a joke, and he was sort of like, he was a funny guy that I was going to say. He was, yeah. But after every joke, the next line was always like a bit seriously like, this is a big day. And, yeah, he didn't like as much as-

Take the piss. And he also- This is my thing with weddings. I've said it a million times. I know what you're going to say. Even though he's Elvis and it's an Elvis wedding, he knew it wasn't about him. He knew it was about the couple.

And I felt that and it was really cool. Yeah. And I also just really liked that you kind of get in. He goes, cool, I'm going to say this. You're going to walk this way. We're going to do this and this. And then you're into it. Yeah.

Like, it's just great. Also, they walked down the Swift, down the aisle to Taylor Swift. Love her. Tony was a goner before it started. I was, yeah. Now, between the three of us, producer Cam's in the room here in the studio, was Elvis's hair real? There was a lot of controversy on the day. I don't reckon it was.

I think it was. Yep. I think the reason it didn't look real is because he's been blow drying it up every day and dyeing it for 50 years straight to the point where it doesn't look like real hair. But that's just because he's been doing that every day for 50 years. I reckon it was the real deal. Because the hair looked real. I'm just struggling.

As in, like, the texture of it didn't, like, look like a wig. Yeah. But how is it still that thick? Like, this Elvis, he wasn't young. He wasn't, like. No, he was not. You know what I mean? And so, I just can't believe it was still, like, that far forward and that thick.

But, like, okay. Are you popping like, is it like maybe a toupee or something? I just thought because there was like a lot of body and air to it, it probably naturally is quite thin, but because he's just teased it so. I reckon after a shower, it would look like it flattened down and would look rough. But I reckon he knows what to do. He knows his angles.

Yeah. But the mutton, so we had the, not mutton chops, is it? Yeah, it's mutton chops. Is that what it's called? Sideburns, yeah. So, he had those like, the classic, like, you know, you think Elvis, you know exactly what I'm talking about. He had those.

I swore they were stuck on but everyone reckons they're real as well. I reckon they're the real deal because if you're- He's obviously dying that too. If you're doing 25 weddings a day six days a week who can be fucking sticking it like doing makeup and stuff you know what i mean he's like no keep it on but he's still he's dying that every day uh every week probably yep yep what i loved is that he was like off duty when we arrived just yeah he's in jeans and a t-shirt but these like beautiful boots with a little Cuban heel.

Did you see those boots he was wearing? They were very nice. I think the funniest thing I ever said was when we saw that guy behind the counter. And I was like, what do you reckon he does here? Because there's like photographers in the reception. But there's just like all these like normal admin people. And then he's walking around. What do you reckon he does?

It's very, very funny. Like so funny. Yeah. And then so he sets it all up. Yep. I'm going to come down here. You stand there and it's very, very funny. Like so funny. And then so he sets it all up. Yep, I'm going to come down here. You stand there and blah, blah, blah. But first I just need to go and get changed. Yeah.

And I said to Ryan, oh, is he getting changed? And Ryan goes, yeah, mate, you wait. And then he walks out and he's got this like real deep V, like big lapel shirt and jacket with like jewels all over it. And it was honestly, he knew what he was doing. He knew his audience. It was really like such a great day. It really was. So we went out for dinner after us and all the family really,

really turned it up a little bit. And this is what Callie and Matt had to say afterwards. My day was absolutely amazing. This is the best day of my life. I got to meet Tony and Ryan. I got to marry the love of my life with my whole family and my friends around me. Everyone was here that I wanted to be here.

And I had a lot of firsts today. I got my hair and makeup done professionally for the first time. My first time in a limo. My first time getting married. All of it. Did everything first. It was amazing.

I married the love of my life. It was amazing. I wasn't allowed to see her all day and when i turned around i couldn't even imagine in my head how beautiful she actually looked i was literally flabbergasted like that memory will be stuck in my head forever everyone in my family they're on the best behavior everything went well we got to meet these fucking crazy people from australia that my wife's obsessed with they're super cool honestly it's so surreal firstly they're the nicest most genuine people i've ever met like everything that you see and

hear in their podcast like translates to their personality 100 which is like shocking and awesome and they're just so down to earth and I'm I'm just I cannot believe they're here I honestly can't believe they're here even when I first found out that we had like been accepted for the fucking fun and everything it didn't feel real and when I showed up at the chapel and they were outside I was just like shocked I can't believe it it still doesn't feel real I'm like looking at Tony right now and I'm still surprised I can't believe it well they still doesn't feel real. I'm like looking at Tony right now and I'm still surprised. I can't believe it.

Well, they could believe it later because then we really turned it on, didn't we? Yeah. So, if Tony, in a normal week, how many- Zero. Alcoholic drinks would you have? Zero. So, and then on a like a special night, like you're going out for a nice dinner or something, you might have like a cocktail? Like maybe.

Yeah. A fancy drink for me though, like if we go to the pub or something, most people would go, oh, I'll grab a beer. Mine is like a lemon lemon bitters. Like that's my like fun drink if we were going out for lunch or something. So, I reckon, is it fair to say we didn't have the same type of drink twice? No, we all knew. Every time we're like, oh, we'll try this, we'll try that.

And they go, what's good here? And they go, oh, we make a great, the Vegas spritz with the shot of this. And I go, yeah, mate, throw us one of those. And we were getting along with the waiters real well. Real well. And so they were being real generous as well. They were, they were. But then, and I think, I mean, as if it wasn't a gift enough being able to be with the bride and groom on their day.

But I think they gave us a real gift to take home. And it was a hot recommendation. Oh. So my favorite way to drink an espresso martini, as a bartender, I will add, you need to start with fresh espresso. You should use regular vodka, not vanilla vodka. It makes it too sweet.

A small splash of Baileys. And you have to have a lemon twist to cut through the heaviness of the Baileys and the bitterness of the espresso and the sweetness of the drink. And that is a perfect espresso martini. Now, we knew we were in Vegas, but someone claimed we were actually in fucking cowboy world at the thought of putting lemon in an espresso martini.

Even the Baileys was like a push too far for me. And then I was like, the lemon. I mean, I don't know about that. It was like a push too far for me. And then I was like, the lemon. I mean, I don't know about that. Also, I will add the look on the waiter's face when we said, yeah, we'll get. Can I grab an espresso?

Oh, do you want one? Do you want one? Oh, yeah. We'll get 10. Yeah. You know, it really escalated quite quickly. But what did you say after you sipped it? I said, why is that good?

I believe there's a video of me trying it for the first time. I don't think we can show that. Oh, yeah, probably not. Yeah, I think my kids are out. Yeah, there's a few from Vegas that we'll never see on a day. Oh, yeah. It's like the end of The Hangover where we were like, we've got to delete all this footage. We'll look at these once and we'll throw it out.

Yeah, they're in the bin now. Producer Ken's going to use it as fucking collateral for later. I need a pay rise. Yeah. But I couldn a pay rise. Yeah. But I couldn't believe it was good. And I think that, I mean, but I know that if I go back to Aussie and ask someone for that, they'll go, fuck off. No, then you go, try it, dog, and then give me your comments.

Yeah, true. But it was very good. Great recommendation. Great recommendation. Yeah, we've had some shockers on this podcast, but it was very good. Now, tomorrow on the show, the bride, Callie, we saw her at her best. Looking a million dollars. Oh, looked stunning.

About six hours. Two dresses. Oh, yeah. She had an outfit change. She's not on the second one. Great. Two sets of shoes as well. Yeah.

Beautiful. I think even the second heels were a bit too much for her feet. Not me being like, not my taste. No, not like that. So, I saw Kelly at her best. But then six hours later, she was with me holding my hand during my worst. And I'll share that with you tomorrow. Oh, my God.

Yeah, but it was. What did I miss? If I had hair, it would have been let down. Let my hair down. Oh, okay. I see. Yeah, it would have been let down. Let my hair down. Oh, okay. I see. Yeah, she saw some stuff. Yeah.

And I thank her because she was actually quite a, considering it was her wedding day, she was quite supportive when she didn't need to be. So, sorry about that, but I'll share that with you tomorrow. Some people just can't handle Vegas, you know. Yeah. Yeah. Vegas won. All three of us.

Yeah. Vegas three, us zero. All right. What do you love to see, Tony Lodge? I've got a story here from Emma Koob. She shared it to us on Patreon. Yep. Hey, guys, funny story.

Oh, don't all fucking stories that start like that. You go, oh, here we go. I'll be the judge of that. You tell the story and we'll decide if it's funny. Oh, I've got the funniest story. We'll decide if it's funny. No, this is good. I went to the Minnesota Comic Con recently,

which is like a big nerd festival, she says, her words. Her words. And met the voice actors for the Mum and Dad in Bluey. Oh, no shit. I asked David McCormack, who voices Bandit, if he listens to your podcast. Oh, my God, you're joking. He said no.

No, he doesn't. But he pulled out his phone. This is a great story. Yeah, it God, you're joking. He said no. No, he doesn't. But he pulled out his phone. This is a great story. Yeah. It's in the delivery, I think. He said no, but pulled out his phone and looked you up and he'd follow. And Emma says...

And then Emma left and he's like, fuck it. See ya. You can find a dollar for every time I had to do that. Yeah. And Emma said, I thought it was really special having two recent experiences with my favourite Australians because she met us in Chicago. But I thought we love to see that.

Great coincidence chat. Two Australians. That is great coincidence chat. Quite fun. Great. Very fun. Very fun. Thanks, Emma.

We also signed a few Bluey dolls in Nashville, I believe. Yep. How do you feel about that? I just felt bad for Bluey. Yes, I am. To be honest, because it's been marred now with us. His beautiful blue coat is now. Yeah.

I like Bluey. But if Bluey grows up and has kids, will they be born with the signature? Yeah, like with my glasses. Yeah. Yeah, Pippa's got glasses. Yeah. When I gave birth to her. Now, I don't know if this is past.

You tell me if this is okay. Okay. My love to see it is people trolling me over my love to see it's from last week. I like it. Okay. I think it's fine because that trolling me over my love to see it from last week. I like it. Okay. I think it's fine because that was your fuck up and you know that. Yeah, and that's what I'm embracing and I'm leaning into it. Yeah.

Megan said, someone tag Ryan in the love to see it thread so he can do his prep this week instead of just copying Tony's. I like that. And it's probably Megan. Megan, yep. Megan, probably. And Cam posted a new love to see it thread, which is good because heaven forbid I read that they met for a third time. Yeah, yep. Megan. Probably. And Cam posted a new You Love to See It thread, which is good because heaven forbid I read the amount for a third time.

Yeah, so I actually didn't take any from the You Love to See It thread this week just to try and avoid this problem. Okay, great. Nick Fisher said, not sure if it's been done before, but Dad's naming boats. I love to see them. I love to see them. Wow.

What can you come up with? That's a great idea, Nick. I appreciate that. Yeah, that sounds really good. And I think as one of the unofficial rules of the podcast, Wow, what can you come up with? That's a great idea, Nick. I appreciate that. That sounds really good. I think as one of the unofficial rules of the podcast, we do put our hand up and say when we fucked up. Absolutely, yep. And me embracing this is me putting the hand up and going,

yeah, nah. I'll cop that. I wasn't at my best last week. That's fair. And we love to have fun. Yeah, we love to have fun. We love to have fun. But that's my love to say it.

Thanks, Megan and Nick. Megan. Tomorrow on the show. We've got you in Vegas. A bride seen me at my worst. And not your bride. Not my bride. A bride.

Not when you got married. This is, and a listener as well, like a tarpa, one of our family. Well, we're family now. That looks like better because like tar like, we're all family here. Is that okay then? Is it like all bets are off, like who cares? I think if it was four hours earlier, I would have felt bad, but I felt like me and the bride and groom had a bond

by this stage. Definitely have a bond. We bonded over the espresso martinis, the blood orange old fashioned and the mangoes super surge slushies. And the rest, yeah. Alright. Alright, chat to you. And the rest, yeah. All right. All right. Chat to you tomorrow.

Love you, bye.
