I have performed the ultimate good deed, and there is nobody that could convince me that it wasn't the right thing to do. Yeah. Oh, that is really nice. How am I f***ed up doing maybe the nicest thing I've ever done? No, I don't actually... That is the human equivalent of letting someone into traffic, I reckon. Spoiler alert.

Humans drive cars. I get it. I get it. I'm Ali from Frederick Maryland. I'm Kyle from Krook in the UK. I'm Samantha from Regina Saskatchewan and I approve this podcast. Welcome to the podcast. This is Dr. Author, best-selling Dr. Author, CEO of the company, Miss Tony Lodge. Company, not just a business, but a company.

Now, coming up today, we've got confessions, including one that's called What Happened in a Stranger's Tent at a Music Festival. And haven't we all? Yeah, but it's getting warmer here in Australia. Yeah. And Tony is getting wet for life. The team's going for swims. Well, no, I would like to say, mate, start the show whether you love to see it.

Yesterday was my first day back in the pool. Yeah. Pottis broken foot. And you said, oh, do you want to come for a swim after recording today? And I was like, oh, I didn't bring my bathers. Yeah. And you go, oh, they have some there. They, not like in the lost and found.

I'm not saying like, oh, I'll have a trawl through the basket in the chain room. This is what I imagined. You know when you go to try on shoes and you don't have socks? And they're like, with a pair of tongs bring out the. The communal sock. Yeah. And then they're the one sock for everyone. Yeah.

That's what I thought you meant like. They'll pull out the communal budgy smuggler. and it's like... That's what they call me in high school. The communal patchy, you just like that, that's for him. Sorry, can we write that down as a tentative title? And it's just like, guess how many local balls have been on this? At least three.

Yeah, and then I'll go, yeah, I'll put them on. And you get an extra large in there, sweet eyes. Yeah, or big John, oh, he's got him at the moment. He's renting... Wait, John, how much the last you got left? Yeah. Oh, he's got two left. And Jono goes, I've got two left.

Can you wait for 15 minutes? You go, yeah, mate. Yeah, you're right, John. You got to wash them first, John? Nah. Well, the pool does it for you. It's chlorine. So true.

Yeah. They do set, you know, they have the little gift shop where they sell the goggles and stuff. I don't know. Turning up to swim without swimming stuff just feels like not okay. See, that feels like it's in your area because it's kind of loose and fun. Do you reckon John's swimmers that I'm about to wear are like one-size? fits all. I think they used to be.

Like real stretchy. I think that there's been a few people that it's stretched on. I think there's probably been a few people that it's been a bit big on. They've had hair tied the side. I've got a scrunchy you could borrow. Just fastening it out the side. Imagine you go to a store and you pick something off the rack and you kind of go, oh, what size is?

And the lady goes, it used to be a large. And you go, what does that mean? Yeah. Is it bigger or smaller or do I don't want to know? What's the answer here? It's stretched a bit over the journey. Yeah, over the journey. Yeah, okay.

But also in a shop, like that's crazy. Even things that are like one size fits all, there's like a... I don't believe it. I think it's a scam. No, I don't believe it either. As someone who is like not going to fit into a one size fits all piece of clothing, I'm fine with that. Okay.

I even bought a hat the other day that was too small. You know, like I'm familiar. I've got a fat head. And every time they get, oh, caps are all the same, I'm like, they're not. No. They just aren't. Is that the hat I got you?

And Lily, no, no, no. I bought like a broad brim hat. It's like, why, are you playing cricket with the Australian cricket team this summer? Yeah, well, I might get drafted and you have to be prepared at all times. You're batting at six, building a third slip in your floppy hat? Well, no, I'm getting like a bit horny for summer at the moment. Like we said, it's getting hot. And I bought this hat and I was like, oh, that'll be perfect for over, um,

Christmas, because Torbs and I are going to Bali. Yeah. So I was like, I'll be able to read in the sun because it's like this huge fucking hat. Did you buy a sombrero? No, but it's like a, it's really beautiful actually. It's brown. It's got like light blue polka dots on it. I think you were talking about a somera.

It's gorgeous. It's like a really sweet hat. Anyway, but yeah, all of the reviews were like definitely sized down. So I got the medium and it does not fit. It's like a top hat. But what am I going to do? Send a hat back. That feels crazy.

Is it? That feels. It feels crazy to me. You sent everything else back? Oh, I don't. Legally. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, you know, sending a hat back feels crazy.

And maybe I'm a bit embarrassed that that's too small. I'm like, oh, of all the articles of clothes, next time I'm going to go get some glasses, they'll go, you should probably size up, you know, like how embarrassing? Tomorrow I've collated some reviews that people have sent in. Yeah. And you know how on some websites you can kind of give like the three-word review and then you have the like full review. Oh,

so it's like the title of the review and then, yeah. And I feel like you're, the top one of yours would be like, not good for fat heads. Um, maybe size are. That's my three word review. Um,

but apparently a big thing at the moment. Lily was telling me about this, um, place that does like one size fits all swimwear, funnily enough. No, it's not. My butt is not going to fit in the same thing that would fit on Lily's butt.

I don't think. There's just no. There's just no way. I actually, as an employer don't compare the butts of people in the workplace. Well, Lily and I are friends first. So I'm going to say that our butts are not the same. Is that because before Lily worked for us,

you guys had a coffee and you sat on the same side of the booth? No, she sat opposite me, but she drank my coffee. That's right. Yeah. At Lily's job interview, she drank my drink. And then she's like, this is really good. I was like, oh, mine's not really right. She's like, do you ask mine?

And she's like, And I was like, oh, I've only taken a sip. She goes, oh, and she passes me the cup. It's half of all. She's like, it was really yum. There's like, yeah, I know, I ordered it. Chocolate sprinkles on the phone that says Tony on the top of it. Yeah, the side of the coffee and Sharpie that I've written Tony.

She's like, I'm so sorry. There was a way we could have known. Yeah. Yeah, there was no way of knowing. So do you, you've also come in hot this morning. Yeah. No, because I have performed the ultimate good deed. And there is nobody that could convince me.

this is what this conversation's for for me to not be convinced that it wasn't the right thing to do. Okay, because you've come in pretty like, do we even bother talking about it? So I went to Pet Barn, to work after work, to get to work. I just clucked in for a shift to the pit bar.

Put on my yellow T-shirt and off I went. They let anyone in there. Can I get Pippa's salmon for free if I clean the floors for a few hours? Yeah. I'm like, oh, this is a lot. This is as close to a J.B. High-Fi as I could get, so I just wanted to know.

Well, Pet Barn is a J-B-high-Fi for dogs. That is so true. You can't go in there and just spend the day. Oh, can't you? Excuse me. What did you call me? Sorry, beep you. Anyway, so I went in after work to get Pippa's salmon log.

She's actually on kangaroo at the moment. Oh. Yeah, that's the breaking news. Yeah, she's on kangaroo at the moment. Wow. as if that fancy dog couldn't get any fancier. For those playing along at home or outside of Australia, eating kangaroo is like the richest of delights of meats

where you'd only the fanciest restaurant with the best chefs would dare try and take on a tender of kangaroo. Yeah. And Tony's dog. Heaven forbid she step away from the hand cut salmon. Yeah, it's kangaroo and sweet potato. It actually is probably hell yum to be honest. Who's eating better at your house?

Oh, her. 1,000% What do you have last night? I'm drinking those fucking rockabie shakes for every meal because I can't enough of them literally bought too many So we've got to drink them before they go on. Wasn't that a huge mistake? Yeah.

Oh no, I've got too many of those shapes. Too many honeycomb ones. Yeah. And then last night at 9pm after I'd been listening to DJ sets while I was working at 9pm, we ordered GYG. Anyway, so I go to the pet barn to get Pippers food and they're like kind of about to close.

Like there's only like 15, 20 minutes or whatever. I go over. to the back corner of the thing and I grab two of the big logs and I join the line. So there's someone currently being served. Yep. There's a couple and then me. Now you're holding these logs in your hand or do you have them under? I hold them like a baby.

Yeah. So I'm like cradling the two, two kilo logs of food. Don't squeeze too hard. Yeah. I know that pop up. Yeah. Yeah. It's sausage.

The people that are getting served currently, they go through. That's fine. so then the couple in front of me step up to the cash register and they are holding like a big dog bed and they fucking see you coming on a dog bed they're more expensive than a human bed they're really really expensive human beds are fucking stinging as well though actually yeah beds and you're not even a fucking wake for it it's big bed they're out to get us do you know what I mean cost of living everyone's pointing fingers no one's pointing fingers at bed companies no one's pointing talking about this.

They're really not. No one's just discerning as us. Anyway, so they've got this huge fucking dog bed and I'm just like, holy moly, like, that's going to sting you. Like, I know straight away, that's a fucking $200 dog bed. Yeah, you're about to get a fuck at the register. Like, I can see this coming a mile away. Anyway, and then the guy who's working there, he's serving me before.

He's so nice. He always asks me what I'm having for dinner. Like, he's a really sweet guy. And ladies and gentlemen, if you want to get in Tony's good books, there you have it. He's just asked me about what I'm eating. What a great opening line. Yeah. He's always like, oh, what are you doing after this?

Like any dinner plans? And I'm always like, oh, I'm heading home. Then... Do you reckon he's flirting with you? Nah. I don't think anyone would. Take that back. No, like, who would flirt?

I mean, I've got a fucking ring on my finger. Like, no one's going to flirt with me. Yeah, you flirt with me anyway. Yeah. He goes, what are you eating tonight? Oh, I do. Oh, we, no, do the, do it. We all know where it's going, but I want you to do it.

Let me have a sip. What are you? Salmon logger? Yeah. Oh, what are you eating tonight? And can I tell you what I wish I was eating tonight? It's very good. Your dog isn't going to be the only one tasting.

For those playing at home, that was, your dog is in the only one tasting fish tonight. Oh, he's going to shoot himself. Oh, God. I love this guy. Before we go. This guy that we're talking about is you. That's just you. He didn't say that.

You said that. Charles, get pet barn on the line. Called the pet barn in Preston on Bell Street. What's that word when you steal someone? Kid that? No. Poaching. Where?

Oh my fucking Jesus. Christ, we're not kidnapping anyone. We're head hunting. She's all those words sound bad. They don't sound great. Kidnap was especially bad. That was rogue from me. Get him on.

This guy sounds great. Sorry, but the answer to the question, what is it when you steal someone feels a bit like kidnapping? But now I understand what you mean. Anyway, so I know that they're about to get fucking ripped a new asshole for this dog bed, right? The guy's really nice. He's like, oh my God, this is so soft.

Ha ha! Whatever. And then he goes, the classic question, we all dread it as we're going through the checkout, are you a member of the pet line? And they go, oh, no. And he goes, oh, did you want to sign up? No. And they go, oh. And they turn and see me waiting in the line.

Yeah. And they go, oh, like, and you know how you kind of go, oh, it's busy, you guys are kind of about to go. Don't worry. And he goes, oh, you do get a discount. And considering how much they've been, so that would be that out. And I know that this is a $180 dog bed. Yeah. I know that the discount's pretty good.

You rack up points there, you know. Oh, here we fucking. He goes, you do get a discount. And they go, oh. And they kind of look at each other. And you can tell that they're trying to, like, they're just, like, frozen in time. I take a step forward. That's bold.

And I go, hey, if you're going to say no because I'm standing here, I don't have anywhere to be, so you take your time. That's huge. Isn't that the ultimate good deed? I say that and they go, oh, yeah, okay. We'll sign up. They give the phone number. They get the discount on the dog bed. And then they turn around and they go, oh, thank you so much.

And I go, oh, anytime, honestly. Like, I know, you know, like, you need to get that discount on that dog bed, you know. I thought you were going to say, do it. Oh, like sign up. Yeah. Well, I did. I was like. Yeah, but just in that many words.

Oh. Instead, they're like, you should have to shoot him fucking. give him a copy of your book oh you know I was born here and that and I got nowhere to be because here I am it's a really nice thing to do it's lovely to give them your life story but it was just that was a last story it was that I was just like yo do tell about the podcast if you tell them there's four days late to get a calendar if you're talking about making me like like I don't have anything yeah just do it would have got there I reckon they'll turn around and could you just go do it

And they go, oh, yeah, great. No, but I want to give them my life story. No, I know you. I get it. So the thing about where I work is, right? Like, it's sort of a bit flexible, like, I own the place. Like, I've got a few employees. We've got to pay their super soon.

Yeah. Oh, that is really nice. How are I fucked up doing maybe the nicest thing I've ever done? No, it actually. Because that is. the human equivalent or in-person equivalent of letting someone into traffic, I reckon, of being like, hey, don't rush. Spoiler alert.

Humans drive cars. I get it. I get it. That's why I said in-person. That's why I changed to in-person. The human, I thought you were going to do a dog comparison or something? And I don't think she knows who drives cars. I sniffed their butts in human language.

That is actually very nice. Don't you think that's so nice? They sign up. But then it does go a little bit of rye because I go. hey don't like I get it and the discount is so good and like you get points and I it's like I do work there yeah and then they go oh we were oh we were actually worried because we were supposed to pick our dog up from the vet five minutes ago we actually did not give a fuck about you or your life story.

They couldn't have given a fuck about Charles the Super radiation. They weren't worried about Charles's

Super. They weren't worried about Lily's fucking five size fits all they're all they wanted

to do was go to pick their fucking dog up. Yeah. So. And then you bullied

them into getting and they're like we can't not get it now. Yeah. Because this fucking big bitch

bind is this is they give him your life story and they go I think we'll skip it. Yeah they go

maybe not. And then I go up and I do my thing and he goes that was really nice of you. And I went, oh, good. And then you guys, what are you having for dinner?

What you did? And then I was like, I was like, I know me. I was like, what are you doing? He goes, I'm going to the sporting globe. And I was like, yum, pub food. And then I left. I paid. And then I left. And I gave them Torbs's phone number because we get the points. And then what a beautiful story. I would have thought you should have hinted at them not getting it. And then going to the guy, can I have their points? Oh. Yeah. That's what I thought you were going to... What?

No, that isn't a good deed. That's the demons. That's the power move that I've come to know about Tony Lodge. I would never do that. That's crazy. I would do that to, like, you guys, but not to a stranger. Like, if we were... I don't think you know how friendships work.

No, no, no. So if we were going through office works or whatever and nobody had a flyby's card, I'd be like, oh, take mine. I'll take the points. But like, I wouldn't in the street be like, oh, are you about to get a coffee from there? Do you want to say punch my card instead of yours? I have a challenge for the weekend.

Don't do it. I challenge everyone watching and listening. Yeah? Well, this doesn't seem like a weekday challenge. Oh, sure. I was like, have you forgotten where we are? I want everyone to try and get someone else's points. Not stealing, but actually just leaning and go, oh, hey, mate.

Oh, do you mind if I scare my car? Yeah. Or like when they get a coffee at Gloria Jeans and you go, oh, I've got seven. Can I, can they just punch two for your two if you're not getting them punch? Because they don't get to my 10th. I've got one free. God, isn't Gloria Jeans the only place that would still do a punch card? Okay. So, like where else does that still? You know, the cafe around here, it automatically assigns points to you when you use your car. It's amazing. Really? Oh, you wouldn't have that set up.

But, and you know, that's why Charles always offers to go and get coffee. Because the points go on his thing. I would believe that. I would believe that. And then. Hang on, everyone's shut up. And then when he goes and gets a coffee for himself, he uses the points. I've never, I don't know how to use the points. Oh, this is the problem. Oh, I'm just accidentally accumulating them. No, um, he goes, he does know how to use it when we're paying.

We go to, we go to fly to Sydney. He goes, yes, I've got a lot of points. Yeah. It's like, do you guys take nice guy Eddie's coffee points to upgrade to business class? I'm Ali from Frederick Maryland. I'm Kyle. from crew in the UK. I'm Samantha from Regina Saskatchewan

and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. Welcome back. Well, before we get to the champion tarpers, this would be the power play. Yeah. So the people in front of you are like, great. You need to put yourself in the play. Like, it was about to close.

So they get 10, let's say they get 10. 10 bucks off because of you're a good deed. Yeah. And then do you go, so can I have five bucks? Yeah. So you want to split that? You know what would be the real power move is if you had to pay to sign up? I've gone, oh, don't, don't not do it because of me.

Honestly, it's fine. You get $10 off. Fuck, it's $60 to sign up or something. Yeah, you get $10 off. Great. That'll be $60, please. I actually, I went on a date once. This is like fucking 600 years ago, right?

Yeah. I went on a date with this guy. Oh, my God. I've never heard you tell a dating story. No, I know. It's... What were you wearing? Oh, I actually remember.

I was wearing, um, like a floral, um, dress. It was like skin tight with like puffy sleeves. It was like very the vibe at the moment at the time. Was it 1920? No, it was like skin tight mini skirt. Oh, okay. I was just picturing, um, uh, what's the one where she flies up and then comes back down in the Wizard of Oz?

Alice. Gwinder. Who's the... Dorothy? Yes. No, no, no. Like, it was skin tight. Yes.

And had like a little poof on the sleeve. It was floral. My hair was blonde at the time. I think I had both noses pierced as well. Oh my God. I was just like, yeah, still had my ears stretched. Like I look... Sorry to everyone commuting to work right now with a bono.

Yeah. And then I was wearing red vans. It was my... A bit of a sense. signature of mine at the time. Anyway, and I go on a date with this guy, and he picked, oh my God, sorry, he picked me up from my mum and dad's house. He could drive.

Yeah. And that gets Tony going. Oh, yeah. Strange that she ended up dating a guy who, and being engaged to a guy that didn't drive for 10 years. But he got his license before we got engaged. And that's what's his deal. So I've never been engaged to a guy that didn't have his license.

So true. Yeah. Because normally they're 15. My boyfriend was 35. No, so this is like, it was pretty hot. Like I was 17 and he was 19, I think. And we were like the same friend group. And he's like, I'll come pick you up in my car.

Well, yeah. And he had like a loud car too. It was like, anyway. A dirty muffler. Yeah, I think there was a hole in the muffler. It wasn't like a cool car. It was just, just broken. Yeah.

Anyway. And we. get to he's like oh we'll go and see a movie i can't remember what movie it was and we get to the thing and they say like oh yep like two adults and he was like oh and i'll pay and i was like i'll get popcorn uh-huh whatever yeah and he they go oh did you want to sign up for like the gold's rewards class thing or whatever and he put a pattern you guys and he goes oh and i go oh yeah we will actually because we will, crazy. Do you have a couple special?

Rachel on a date? Do you mean sweet? I go, you should. Like, we should because you get $10 tickets. Oh, great. Like, it was actually like a really good deal like at the Armadale Cinema. Yeah.

And, um, show it out and. Not sponsored. Not sponsored. Not sponsored. If the guys at the Armadale Cinema are listing. I'm interested. Yeah. Um, it was a reddinger.

cinema I think and they if you signed up you got $10 tickets and they go and I go yeah you get $10 tickets like how good and you could use it in that transaction and they go oh okay cool we'll just like ring that up and I wasn't really like listening or whatever

and then afterwards he's like oh you like have to pay to be but I've just gone yeah you should do that you get $10 tickets and he went bullied him into it I didn't I just didn't know you had to pay but then he paid for it but they gave me

the card and I wrote my name on it. Oh, of course. Oh, thanks, mate. Any more dates? No, but I saw three movies a week for the rest of the year. Yeah, but I saved heaps of money on my Reading Cinemas in Armadale. You know how they have like mystery shoppers? Yeah.

You should be a mystery enabler. So you just get hired by companies to go on the line and when they go, do you want this? That's a great deal. It sounds like you've got a lot of stuff to put on your resume. Anyway, but great guy. Thanks for the. movie. Yeah,

great guy. I think I paid for the Maccas in the drive for on the way home, which is kind of cool. We sat in the car and made out. That's hot. You know, like back in the day. Yeah.

A few champions tab. Back in the day. I did that the other day. With me. I remember. A massive shout out to a few of our champion tarppers. Patrick Patric. Oh, pardon me.

Martin. Patrick Parton and Martin. Should I use the chip button? No, I'll be pardon. Trish Lampert. Lampert. Brian Beattie. Good on you, Brian.

Chloe Wright. Marissa Edwards. Natasha S and Charlotte Cook. Thank you very much for being part of our Patreon. You really love to say it. Too late to sign up for a calendar, so sucked in. If you wanted one, it's too late. Well, you can still join Patreon though because it's still great fun.

Totally can, but too late to get a calendar. And be part of the golden ticket. Yeah. Visit up confession. It's got a confession here. Tony and Ryan.com.com. You can submit them. They are anonymous.

We can't even find out who sent it. So don't leave out any details because we can't ask follow-up questions. Yeah. I accidentally shat in a stranger's tent and a music festival. It was dark. Accidentally is the word that's bothering me there. It was dark, really late, and I was in a bit of a state. Yeah.

That rhymes. That rhymed. Dr. Seuss did it. I thought. I thought, okay, this is going to be one of the great sentences you'll ever hear. And even without any other contact, if you ever hear this entered in your life, you go, well, this isn't going to end well. Oh.

I thought I was walking into a Port-a-Lu. I just don't know how you could get a tent and a Port-a-Lu mixed up. They could be the further apart. They could be the entire story. I thought I was walking to a Port-a-Lu, and I'm like, the mind-boggles, doesn't it? Because, first of all, a Port-a-Lu, hard door. So true. You don't zip a port-a-loop open.

Well, I'm not the ones you go to. What does that mean? Don't they have like the old school camper like, oh. You know there's the real dodgy old shower ones and it would like zip up just like cover your bit? But it's a long drop anyway. Yeah.

Yeah. I do know what you mean. Yeah, so I'm sticking up for her. Sorry. Yep. It was dark really late and I was in bit of a state. I thought I was walking into a port-a-lou. I walked in, turned around, sat down and started booing.

before this man yells, Hey, that's my esky. Oh. It just doesn't. It sounds like a bad script. It doesn't it. It doesn't really sound like something that really happened. Instead of getting professional comedy writers from Hollywood,

we've hired these guys in U-7 down the road. And they've written up. Hey, that's my eski. I don't doubt that this happened, but it's shone. Shunky, shonky copyrighting. The realization hit and sobered me right up real fast because you just go, you go, hang on, let that so raven.

Although once you've started a groggy boggy, it's hard to stop. So true. I finished, apologize and left the whole festival as fast as I could. So he goes, hey, that's my esky. And then she goes, hang on. like what are you I'm so sorry but it's still coming out

do you take the esky with you so like okay let's look at this from the other way around oh I don't want to see the back so

and this is like let's figure it out because great question yeah thank you so much we're laying in a tent you and I separate sleeping bags because we're camping

why you don't want to sleep with me What if we had a double swag? Sure. Someone comes in and shits in our esky. Oh, our eskies. Yeah. It's like our part of the movies.

What's worse? You go, I can't believe someone came into our tent, shat in our esky, then stole it. Or someone came into our eskis, shat in it, and then left it in there. Yeah, and then they left it behind. Because when you're 19 years old and an eskies like a hundred bucks, That's good cash.

You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So. But you would also be pissed, I think, if they left us. Eski full of shit. Groggy, boggy. Yeah, but like, what would you be? I'm not saying there's like a good option.

I'm just saying like what's the most bad. I think I would rather. I can't think of what I hope that I die. It's dead an option. I just don't think. that I would handle either. I don't want to hose her a shit out of my esk. I fucking knew that was going to happen.

I fucking knew that was going to happen. For those playing along at home, Tony's iPad has slid down that arm and then knocked her drink bottle. Which you said would happen the other day. Yeah. And I never wish ill upon you, but I feel like this is one of the only times I get her, I told you so.

Yeah, no, that's fair. Tony, 4,027. Yeah. Ryan won. I also very rarely like flying by the seed in my pants where things like that can happen. That's what's so off brand. Yeah, it's crazy.

You know what also is crazy is that I'm rolling Yeti and a Frank Green today. Ooh. Yeah. On the same little table. Is that like if you wear Adidas and Nike at the same time? I sometimes think that because I had this Adidas t-shirt the other day and I always wear Nike shoes and I kind of went. Yeah.

See, I really, I mean, at the moment I'm wearing hokers because of broken foot life. But I really like Adidas. Like, I'm an Adidas girlie in the shoe. Yeah. But Nike have really cool clothes. Yeah. So I always feel weird. Like if I'm wearing like platform Adidasas but then I've got like a Nike jumper on, I feel weird about it.

Is it fine? Can we answer that question? Can we just decide that that's fine? But is it rival? Is that our job? Okay. Here's a question that'll help us get to our answer. Is it only because Adidas and Nike are in the same category?

Like if you had Levi jeans and a Unicloat T-shirt. you wouldn't be like, oh, I'm fucking with brands. Totally. Totally. Yep. Wow. That's, fuck. That's the thing.

I think it's an active wear thing. Because you know how a lot of hot girls will have like the matching set? That's what I do. Yeah. Fuck out of hot. Because if you did. Yeah. I think you're right.

I think it's just because the brands is not even just that it's active wear. It's just that like Nike and Adidas. They're like the same thing. But so are clothing brands. Yeah. Wow. So you reckon it's fine? Yeah, like if you had something from Cotton on and Uniclo, like it doesn't matter.

He gives a fuck. And they're the same thing. Yeah. We're on to something here. We're blowing this wide open. First big bed and now big brands. Who's next? Next.

Chrisma says, I'm off to Florida visiting my best friend since middle school. Fuck, yeah. She just bought a house, which is a really big deal because they were impacted with the hurricanes. Her new home is right in the area she loves very near the beach so she can be wet for life.

And actually just shout out to Florida in general because I was looking in the back end of the audio the other day, like as in ACAS and it shows where people are from. I was looking in the back end of the audio. No, because and. Like where we upload the podcast. Spoiler alert. Yeah. It's because I was doing some research into Latvia. Yeah. Which may be a part of my love to see it. Uh, but Florida, Alando, heaps of Tarpers, Jacksonville, heaps of Tarpers, Tampa Bay, some in Miami, but those other three just poppin off. Really?

There's a bunch of fun stuff to do here Like karaoke in the old town Visit some funky and artsy museums Or go to the hipster breweries Riga in Latvia is the home of great beer Sorry but calling it the old town Doesn't really make us want to go Well there's old town and new there's a new area

and there's the old area. Like you go, oh, the old town's great. I go, what's the horse and card minds? It's the old town. The old country. A lot of old European cities have like the old town square and it's really quite beautiful. I get it.

I know that and have that in Perth. The way that it sounds is like so funny. I think the old town of Perth could be Fremantle. And it's black and white. That's what I mean. And there's people playing that game where they roll the hoop on the street. Tile Jans says I recommend flying Finnish air

because they offer the best blueberry juice in aviation What's blueberry juice? It's almost as thick as a hot chocolate. Blueberry juice, that sounds, I've never even thought that that could be juiced. I'd be squeezing. Phil Daniel said, you've got to try a shot of Latvian black balsam.

What's that? And Nianti Luez says, drink the black balsam. What's that? Did you Google it? It looks like a really dark, dark liqueur that comes with. And I think the signature is maybe like a cherry flavor. Because balsam, I think, is that like balsamic vinegar? I fucking hope not if I'm doing a shot of it.

Do you know what I think is actually really young? Because I obviously got stuck into the apple cider vinegar trend of 2009. RIP. doing the like shots of apple cider vinegar or doing apple side of vinegar water like drinking that oh I really think it's yum same I think it's so yummy yeah because it's so it's such a weird taste balsam it's like the baltic seat oh so maybe it's can you have a oh there we go oh it's from riga which is where we'll be love that little cup don't those little cuffs get you going yeah that's the original was I right I'm thinking there's like a cherry flavor or there's some like

Deep dark. We're looking at a picture of the balsam, and it's in a very fancy goblet, like a crystal goblet. It says like the flavour profile is like bittersweet and includes a note of herbs, honey, caramel, spices and fruit. So is it like balsamic vinegar? Because that's kind of that, isn't it? Like. She's really testing that Charles's Google today. Well, go faster.

Quick before I tell someone to sign up to another loyalty program. I don't think it is. Oh, that's crazy. But I'd love to know. Thanks, Charles. I'd like to know as well, but no one will tell me. So you love to see it is... That would go on a Riga.

Riga, Latvia, is looking good. Yeah. No, it is not like balsamic vinegar. Oh. Chips off. Felt close, didn't it? I could just stay home and have some in my house. Yeah.

Do you want to come over and drink some balsamic? A shot of balsamic, followed by a shot of apple cider vinegar. Yeah? Followed by death. I thought you were. so followed by dick. And I was like, whoa, that's a big day. Which one tastes worse?
