Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a DM to Charles Patterson. I actually have to look away. It's not. Does the golden tarp ticket included? Or is that separate? What did you send back, Charles? I haven't accepted the DM. She got a golden.
Starting point is 00:00:19 Hi, this is Dennis from Kansas City, USA, and this is Buddy. It's Elaine, Vancouver. From Fort McMurray in Canada. Hi, I'm Sam from Greensend in the UK, and I approve this podcast. Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. This is Dr. Author, best-selling Dr. Author, Dr. Author, Tony Lodge. Thank you. Captain of the ship.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Muscles. She, yo, bird in charge. I know that you've just given me such a pump-up right then, but can I give myself a tiny pump up. Sure. I made this jumper. That's my love to see it. Have a great day, everyone.
Starting point is 00:01:05 I knitted this. Huge. How, the, the fact that it's ribbed for her pleasure. Yeah. Well, this is rib. This is called. Yeah, what's that bit? This part is called seed stitch.
Starting point is 00:01:17 But the fact that it goes like that way. Yeah, it's stripy, yeah. It's actually really impressive that you've knitted that. Thank you so much. Is that why you've been chipping away at home? Yeah, so obviously, haven't been able to walk for a while. I had to come up with some couch activities. How does it feel to wear out, though?
Starting point is 00:01:33 Do you feel the pride in wearing it? I really do. I feel generally so stoned. You look great. Yeah. And I can feel the pride radiating off you. Yeah, and it's so bright. Like, I don't normally wear a lot of bright.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Like, I don't think I'd own anything else red. If you tried that on in a store, would you buy it? No. Like, oh, does it come in a brown? Yeah, well, I'd be like, oh, you do you have a black one? Yeah. Or one where, like, the stripes are white and black or do you know what I mean? Do you?
Starting point is 00:01:58 but I love it have to get like a patch or something and knit into it like I made this so it does when because this is from that you know Cardi gang
Starting point is 00:02:07 yeah that I've bought the kits from it does come with a like made this myself tag but like where would you put it you just prefer to tell us every time
Starting point is 00:02:16 well so yeah if somebody ever compliments me on this I'll be like thank you so much I made it but are you going to let them compliment you or are you going to get in first and that's not on that if I made it myself
Starting point is 00:02:28 try and shut me the fuck up because I'd be telling everyone hence why I'm like maybe the patch can do some heavy lifting here but do I then not get the satisfaction of being like oh thank you so much yeah I made it or do I do I do the reverse compliment you know when you say to someone like oh I love your shirt and they go oh I love yours and you go oh thanks I made it yeah do that one yeah but the thing is is that that it's delayed gratification yeah you that is obviously the best outcome is they complimented unprovoked but I just don't know if you can shut the fuck up for long enough yeah hi nice thing i made it i made this they're like no i'm telling you that your car's parked in a toes on yeah no no no i love it
Starting point is 00:03:07 thank you so much yeah i made it myself yeah the knitting ribbed yeah i did that yeah yeah this is seat stitch yeah don't normally do a color but like you know i love it though yeah yeah it's so soft can't yeah it's really soft oh oh feel it around here on the boobs I'm just doing my punch on. I was about to fuel you up. Oh, sorry. You feel on the boobs. No, it's okay.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Okay. Oh, it is soft. It's soft, eh? You're really nice to wear. Yeah, it does. Oh, thanks for the rub. That's really nice. I really appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:03:41 It'd be awkward. If we work together. Hasn't been yet. If you tried it on and didn't fit me, like, try to send it back. And I'm like, well, I unravel all the yarn. I have to start again I want to tell you about
Starting point is 00:03:59 since we're in Tony's own yeah you know how something's way better when you can give it a name totally something you are kind of into someone's like coined the phrase and I was like yes
Starting point is 00:04:10 this is what Tony's going to love I think you're all about this and I think you're going to love this yeah it's called tattooism what's the you go on holidays
Starting point is 00:04:21 and just get tattoos around the world in souvenir years are out getting a fun cute novelty tat to remind you of your trip to wherever you're in love it yeah I love that it's called tattooism that's so sick and I think you are a bit of a fan of like just a bunch of shit stuff you know all around and whatever and when you see a guy with like just a bunch of random shit tats you're like how cool yeah I love it but I think that kind of energy and you're like oh like we're going to Hong Kong oh should we get tats to like remember the trip absolutely I love because we're all about and this is what the the article says
Starting point is 00:04:55 and a very fancy article it says because we're no longer just about things we're about experiences. That's fun. So not only is it like, I've got this tattoo remember, it's the experience of like, I'm in Tokyo,
Starting point is 00:05:06 let's find a fun Tokyo tattoo place and we'll remember the day we went and got it. No, I love that so much. The only thing that, like the one tiny grain of sand of doubt that I have about this idea is just that you can't swim.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Oh. Because so... So true. So when we were in LA, so my... Was this B-BF or a... PBF, pre-B-F, pre-B-F, pre-B-Toot. Yep. Well, actually, pre-Trit, because, like...
Starting point is 00:05:36 So my favourite tattoo artist, well, I mean, my favourite tattoo artist is Courtney, my tattoo artist, but Dan Smith, who I discovered on LA Inc. Like, he was... Do you remember that show, like, Cap-V-D and stuff? But he now owns his own shop called Captured Tattoon. and it's in LA and we've been to LA three times now for work and every time we've been I've thought to myself I should go I should see if I can get a booking and then I'm like but then I can't swim where before I break my foot I was planning on going to Fiji what am I
Starting point is 00:06:10 going to do sit on the side of the pool and watch Mabel and Charles swim and I just sit here yeah and then the time before that I was going to Hawaii after so I was like like can't a tattoo and then go to fucking Hawaii. We need to get the order of our trips. Better. Yeah, okay. Start swimming. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:31 And not swimming. And not swimming. Yeah. We've traditionally been an end swimming team. Yes, we have. And that ends now. I just want to start middle and end swimming though. Like my goal is that like it's just constant swimming.
Starting point is 00:06:46 And I am so close to being ready to get back in the pool. Like so. Oh, because your wounds all good. Well, because I've got the all clear now. much for my foot. I've read the letter. Yeah, you did. Dr. Dunn, thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:06:57 But because I've got that, it's just like that I'm not really great on my foot. So getting in and out of the pool, I probably don't feel super confident. Yeah. You need, we'll go together tomorrow. Okay. Let's go to the Altham Leisure Center. Yeah. Because there's almost like, you know how it's about eight lanes in a lap pool?
Starting point is 00:07:14 Yeah. There's almost like a ninth that's just a lane length ramp. That is so amazing. Like it's a really slow incline so you can just walk. slow in. There's no steps, no ladder. So amazing. Yeah, because there's a lot of,
Starting point is 00:07:28 remember how the first time I swam that 80 year old was like. Oh, a couple of ass old guys. Yeah, and I was like, bitch, you're 40s old. But there's a lot of old people swimming. Yeah. For health and whatever. And then a few people like, you know, different abilities and stuff. So it's actually how accessible.
Starting point is 00:07:44 No, that's amazing accessibility. So 80 year olds, people with different. And Tony Lodge. Yeah. But in all seriousness, it's really easy to get in. That's amazing. And I would love to bring you to my first swim. But like, welcome to the Altham pool.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Thank you. Oh, we go and have coffee after it, I'm Zendend. Oh, yes. Yeah. Because at the reservoir pool, they actually have like an accessibility, like a chair that like swings over. Yeah. And they lower into the pool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Would you do that? Well, I don't think that I would be eligible for that. But aside from that, they just have like step, like three steps. And I just don't think I'd be really ready for that yet. So I've been putting off. doing the pool. Remember that time we did a trip to Vancouver to swim at the Kitsilano pool and then just happened to have a birthday party at the same place?
Starting point is 00:08:28 Yeah. That was a very accessible pool because that also, you just walked in because it was like a beach kind of. Yeah, though Charles and I went and dived in and realized it was 10 centimetres deep. Yeah. Pros and cons. Yeah. I love swimming.
Starting point is 00:08:42 I can't wait until I can go back to the pool. So. But tattoo tourism, that's the only thing for me is that I'm like, but then swimming. Such a good point. I didn't even think of that. Which is the same reason why, I mean, obviously. haven't had a tattoo and I just because I broke my foot and I couldn't leave the house. But, like, that's the thing because I'm like, well, then I can't swim.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Yeah, so true. Okay, we'll have to get a work around. But the reason I... What are people doing when they get tattoos? How are then people swimming? Maybe they just don't have the lust for being wet for life that you do. So true. Maybe it's not a consideration of other people because they're not as wet as you are.
Starting point is 00:09:17 I love to be wet. Yes, child. Can't you, like, wrap it in like, plastic wrap or something? so that just isn't like watertight there is so you know how like whenever I get a tattoo they put the like second skin on it but it's like fabricy I think that there is second skin you can get that's plastic but there's their difference between the tattoo show I go to that don't use that is there a difference between like oh it gets a bit wet on in the shower versus like I'm swimming in the fucking ocean like there's no yeah you can't and it's also
Starting point is 00:09:47 the chemicals in a pool yeah oh of course I'd fuck it right up like so it would have to be plastic, like watertight. Yeah, that's tough. Anyway, so we can figure that out. We are doing calendars for 2026. Yes. If you're a champion tarpa by this Saturday, you are getting a calendar. The shipping is going to be hell easier because guess what?
Starting point is 00:10:07 We've found a place to print them where you are instead of us printing them in Australia and hoping fucking Australia Post can get them to your country. Yeah. We're going to print them in your region and get them ships. That's going to be awesome. Yeah. Much better system than last year. Much better system.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Much more reliable and sorry. And thank you for the patience. to a lot of people. We are also, for all those people going in to get their calendar. Actually, let me give you some logistics chat. You've got till Saturday to register because it's by November. I'm pretty sure, like, as I glance at the team, maybe Sunday on Monday, you'll get an email that's like, hey, you're a champion tarpa, register to get your calendar here, what address
Starting point is 00:10:42 should we send it to? And tick this box if you want to be, have the chance to be the golden ticket tarpa. I said that right? Yep. So you'll get an email. Then you can claim your calendar and you'll be. It's basically like buying something online, but you will have a code to make it free. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:57 And we'll make the shipping free. Yeah. So you'll see that there's a price there, but you'll have a code that will make it zero. You'll buy it for zero. Yeah. Yeah. But just like the process is the same. When you see that number, don't freak out.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Yeah. It's a general default. That's fine. You will get the email and there will be some little checkboxes. And what you have to do is tick like, yes, I would like to be part of the competition. And if you don't click those, you won't have a chance to win. Yep. So lawyer Lily who's just wandered over.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Is that all sound good to you? Yes, sounds great. Approvali Lily. A short question to answer. Just make sure you do that as well. Okay. Yes,
Starting point is 00:11:31 yeah. But basically that'll ensure that your calendar's on the way. And it will ensure that you're got a chance to win. Yep. The person that wins, flying to Australia. I'm so excited. We're paying for flights.
Starting point is 00:11:42 We're picking up from the airport. But someone has messaged and asked Tony Lodge. Yes. Beep-a-bip-bip. Can the two of us, Tony and Ryan, and them go to a tattoo parlour in Melbourne to get a commemorative golden ticket tap a tattoo. Fuck yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Absolutely. And be a part of tattooism. Yeah, no, 1,000%. What I will say in the light of... I reckon Courtney would do it. Of new news. New news! Included in the prize.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Why isn't anyone... Why isn't anyone doing that on a podcast? It's a great segment idea. It's such a good idea. That's a great idea. And they should say it like that as well. Can I tell you a secret? Last week.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Please, I love secrets. I ate secrets and fucking breakfast and dinner. Then I tell my boyfriend. Lily and I went to like a podcast industry event while you had your foot up. Yeah. Thank you guys. Find the flag. We met the guy who did the deal with the Kelsey brothers and an Amazon.
Starting point is 00:12:43 And do you want to hear something real sexy? You met Taylor Swift's fucking fiancé. Sort of. Someone who's met Taylor Swift's fiance. You want to hear something real sexy? Has he met to us with? Oh, fucking lawyer Lily's back. Yes, Lily.
Starting point is 00:12:57 No, what's the real sexy thing? I thought you, the person without their name in the podcast title, was just wondering over to say, here you go. Did you guys know I made this chumper? He said, he sits down and he goes, Trave, I've got to be honest with you. I don't know anything about football. Is that going to be an issue for us to work together? That's like, I love that, actually.
Starting point is 00:13:25 And Trav goes, I know lots about football. You know lots about what you do. Let's do what we do best together. Isn't that the hottest fucking conversation you ever seen? And also so honest. Yeah. Like, no, I'm actually like, I know what I know about. That's why we're a good team.
Starting point is 00:13:44 I'm good at podcasting and talent management. You're a great talent and podcaster and football player. Why don't we stick to our strengths and do this together? Like, you're great at fucking me and I'm great at being fucked. And that's why we work so well together. Yeah. Lawyer Lily, is there anything you would like to add? Oh, I was going to say he also gave me his business card.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Yeah, he did. He did. And what do you think is the correct response to this, Tony? Is it A, thank you. Or is it B, who has business cards? Okay. It's 2020 for, and to be fair, both. correct answers in my book.
Starting point is 00:14:21 So, okay. Am I the only one who thinks receiving a business card is hella flirty? It feels so flirty to me. I don't know if it's because I've watched like too many fucking rom-coms. But I just find it so flirty. Someone the other day gave me a business card. Did you fuck them? But then they hand wrote their direct number on the business card.
Starting point is 00:14:49 What was that? the business card doing without the number? So it had... I mean, I get it, but like... No, no, no, no. So it's fair question. It had like an office number and they said, oh, let me give you my direct line. And I was like, ah...
Starting point is 00:15:04 Okay, question. Can I tell you who it was and we cut it out? No. Yeah, fuck. I'm not. Oh, my God. I know. And I was sitting there and I went...
Starting point is 00:15:17 Is he single? And I went, well, he wears a wedding ring. And me too! Yeah, same. But it was so horny. Like, and literally, I, like, my poor's deuced up a bit. Because it just, I couldn't know. Okay, so he...
Starting point is 00:15:31 Oh, he's going to listen to this wrong with it. Oh, yeah, he knows who it was because he did it. It's anonymous for everyone else. Um... So, no, I'm telling you that off air. Okay. That's too diabolical to say. But did you?
Starting point is 00:15:49 No, no, no, no, all good. Do you reckon, you know how in like LinkedIn and business inside or it's like, here's the new hack to boom, yeah, totally. Here's what I learned about B2B marketing from. I reckon this is a power play. They go, we're making a new business cards and you go, hey, leave off my personal number purely. So that people feel special when you. So I can write it back on when I hand it over.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Gidea, LinkedIn. How the fuck I are. That's what we need. I know that this has been brought up a couple of times. need business cards because we made people and they go how can I get in contact and I go oh um yeah no but just also like imagine meeting a tarpa and being like take who's this card I just think that's so funny okay so I actually met at tarpa max at the um when I was at the doctors the other day and he comes over he's like oh my god I love your show I love everything and he goes
Starting point is 00:16:40 what a random place to bump into you and I was like oh I actually was just seeing my surgeon and he goes oh me too I just had top surgery like eight weeks ago oh shit and I was like bro that's awesome how did you go and he goes have a look lifts his shirt up and it was just like so iconic and i was like fuck bro you look amazing he's like and i was like how do you feel like you must just be and he was like i woke up from that an aesthetic and i was like i am and he was like i am who i meant to be now and i just like we're standing in this lift and i just like fucking and i was like bro that he's fucking awesome and he's like can we get a photo we did a photo and stuff but it was just like the most of and he was just like oh and my boyfriend can notice the
Starting point is 00:17:23 difference in me immediately like I just how fucking awesome that's so huge I was sorry we've just done about ag team fucking you love to say it yeah we're in the first half of the show still I think um I might have mentioned to you I don't know if I said on the show but when I went to chill out festival in Dalesford earlier this year which I have said and I would love people to comment I said to Tony we should go next year as a show oh yeah it's in March regional Victoria I don't know if there's a Tony and Ryan float, or we do a live, or we just go and live, but like, cracking weekend. Yeah. This person was there, and they were with their friends very, like, nervous around the lake,
Starting point is 00:17:59 as in, like, looking a bit, like, oh, there's, you know. And then, and obviously when you're getting into your swimsuit, you know, just everyone's trying to be polite and not stare and murmur, but there's sort of that like, oh, do I get changes people around? Because there's no change. You kind of would just walk out. Oh, so you're like, oh, do I just like, get, changed here? Is there an outdoor bathroom I can go to? Yeah. So everyone's in the same boat.
Starting point is 00:18:21 You can go, oh, I probably should have put my budget on underneath. Yeah. And so there's a, oh, do I hold, oh, you hold the tower. Yeah. And, um, and this one person in particular just, their friends were giving them a bit of a rev up because they were clearly a bit nervous. Yeah. Um, end up running off the jetty diving into the water and all their friends are clapping and like, great. It was like this huge. And I was like, oh, they, you know, and then I was in the water with Mabel and, um, you know, I end up chatting, blah, blah, blah, and I said, oh, you know, you're in the water. I look at you go or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:50 And they said, it's actually the first time I've been shirtless. They've had surgery recently. Like post-top surgery. And they're like, you know, your whole life. I've just got so many goosebumps. And, and they've, you know, like, it's like the movie scene. Oh, my God. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:19:08 They run and jump off the jet into the water and stuff. It's so amazing. Yeah. And I mean, chill out festival, the perfect place, like, so welcoming. everyone's lovely. You know, it's real humbling for both of us, though. What? So, they mentioned this and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:19:22 fuck, good on you, dude. Huge moment. Yeah, that's fucking awesome. Yeah, and I was like trying to really make a point of looking the other way when they're getting in and out of the water and stuff, because I tell you what's really humbling, climbing up a ladder getting out of the lake. It's why I refuse to go on a boat.
Starting point is 00:19:39 It's why I refuse to go on a boat because you've got to get back on the boat. But like, you jump up, you jump up the side of a lake. boat that's all good what about getting back up the fucking thing so they've had this really empowering moment i've given this like big gas up you're chatting all good good on yeah yeah never felt more alive you go first now i'll go for yeah and then we're both of us yeah and you're like please look away for me now yeah i'll look over here and it's it's not because of what i'm wearing or anything it's because try climbing up a fucking slippery moldy metal step they've got fucking barnacles on them and shit no fuck that you've never seen two more hunger and be
Starting point is 00:20:15 people like having... And you're like, can you hold Mabel while I... I know you're having a big day. Can you just hold this two-year-old for a second? I'm going to need you to hold my baby. I'm trying to flop my beard gut up onto a jetty. And it's not going well from here. I haven't done up a day for a while.
Starting point is 00:20:30 So anyway, we've got six months to get jacked so we can climb out of the lake. Love it. More frequently asked questions after tattooism. Yeah. Um... Yeah, would you do the tattoo? Go with them. I would do it.
Starting point is 00:20:49 There's just someone I live with that would have to sign off. I think though that Bridgett has said you should do it, but you should get it done, like think about the design. Yeah. I think it was like, don't just get something on a whim. Yeah, great cool.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Yeah. So if I think about something and then I get it. Yeah. Like I think if we kind of came up with a distance. Yeah. The day I was like, I might just get one on the side. I don't care what it.
Starting point is 00:21:10 She was like, that's not a good idea. But I think if we talk to someone and thought about what the design might be and stuff, I reckon that would be sweet. And what a core memory for the three of us. Tony Ryan Golden Ticket Tapa. Yeah, I reckon Courtney would do it. We should ask.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Does everyone, only one person is the Golden Ticket Tapa, but does everyone get a calendar? Yeah, you don't win the calendar. It's yours. The calendar's yours. The calendar's yours. That's in the bag. Even if I'm overseas, yes, that is correct. Yep. Now, Charles, you can tell me whether we can keep this in the show, but Charles got a frequently
Starting point is 00:21:43 asked question. Did you know what I'm talking about? I do. And I said that I might sign up If it's included This is a DM to Charles Patterson I actually have to look away It's too

Starting point is 00:22:11 Shmomomomomus Schmapar Are you guys Maintaining I can't take. Does the golden tarp ticket include a taste of your cock, or is that separate? Now, I believe she's... I love it that I've given the option for it to be separate. Can I purchase it separately? What's the...
Starting point is 00:22:31 Include to taste that cock as well, or is that separate? Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, when you order a burger at a restaurant, you're like, do I pay for fries? Do I pay for fries? Yeah, totally. Yeah, like, fair. Yeah. And that's in the age of consent, she's asking.
Starting point is 00:22:43 She's not, like, demanding. And yes. true um what did you send back what was the answer to that child i haven't accepted the yeah it is a uh accept message request from shmariana if you accept they will be able to call you and see info such as your activity status and whether you've read the message and your penis if you accept your penis will be instantly sent yeah um yeah so we're working on that one with the lawyers legal chat this is what i'll say that's not part of it no i will go on the record.
Starting point is 00:23:15 No, we won't check with the lawyers. The answer is it does not include that. Oh, yeah. No,

Starting point is 00:25:41 by your favourite ladies except me but i thought well and that's why i'm dressed up today because you you have been with me through the whole NBA you've seen the ups and downs and supported me and like giving me days off and like gas me up when i was like couldn't be fucked and yeah so i does you get your moment because this wouldn't be possible without tony lodge i also just like i don't know if this is the time for this but i just like am really proud of you and i know that you don't want to do the thing and it's like look what i'm wearing i'm doing the thing No, but like, I know that this is like for comedy. It's not really for like a beautiful moment necessarily.
Starting point is 00:26:14 It's so beautiful. What are you saying? But like, I really am so proud of you because it took a long time. And I know that there were times where you were like, do I just stop? Like, and I think because when you started, we weren't doing this podcast. I started the NBA before I started doing Tony Lodge. I'd act and jokes decided. I started this before we'd met.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Yeah. Like we. I thought I was going to go. work for Deloitte Digital or essential song or be a fucking content strategist in an agency. Like you started it to become a consultant eventually. And obviously now that we have our own business. Well, there's a question about that. Yeah. Well, I'm glad because that's my first question was hang on. But now that you know, like we're doing this, we apply so much of what you learn in your MBA to like our team and our crew and our show. So you've learned a lot. And
Starting point is 00:27:09 I also love watching you get gassed up every time you, like, learnt something new and you were excited to bring it back to the team. Like, it's really cool. So I'm just really proud of you for getting through it. Now, Tapa Kate has a question. Hi, Tapa Kate. I remember when you started, you supposed, like started Tony and Ryan. Yeah. You supposedly weren't allowed to start a business. That's true. Now that you're qualified, are you allowed to have a business now or will your old employer still be offended by that? That's very funny. Yeah, because it wasn't a matter of Ryan not having an MBA was the reason that we weren't allowed to have a business. It was an external factor.
Starting point is 00:27:43 But factor. And now here we are. Tapa, Carol, we read a lot of comments on this show of Tapa stories. Absolutely. I think this is the first time I'm going to read a few from LinkedIn. Did you post about your MBA and LinkedIn? I posted that video of... Oh, come graduate with me.
Starting point is 00:28:03 I thought that video was so cute, by the way. Yeah. So I, the robe I'm wearing now, I actually purchased for 20. $26 off Amazon. Love it. But the one on the day, it's like you borrow it for a few hours. Yeah. And it's like a heavy wool, right?
Starting point is 00:28:16 Oh, yeah. Beautiful. Yeah, but I didn't, I assumed it covered everything. So I just like rocked up in T-shirt and jeans. I'm like, oh, but then you tuck the robe on and it's all the same. Nah, it's more of like an over the side kind of not. It's like all open at the front and arms. It's a bit like a dressing gown if you were going to wear a dressing gown open.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Yeah. Oh, Tapa Tegan said she's got a story. Well, I also just think that, like, most people would be like, this is a huge day. I'm obviously going to get dressed up. Well, if I had a thought about it, it wasn't like I went to like, because I'm craning, I actually just like didn't think about it. And that's, I believe you. And as soon.
Starting point is 00:28:52 Like, no, and I don't actually mean that as a diss. I'm genuinely saying like, I know that you didn't do it to like be quirky. I know that you just wouldn't have thought about it. And like. And so the start of the video. Look at when the queen died. I don't know you just a fucking boncaster, but could have gotten dressed up. start.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Okay. People can listen back to an old episode for that story. In that video, you can see me walking down the street and I was literally, I parked up the road, it's in the city, I'm walking down to Melbourne Town Hall. And in the distance, I just see all these suits and just suddenly I went, of course. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. And because, and I, oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Yeah. And I'm here and it's early in the morning. I'm ages from my head. I can't just, like, duck back in and like, yeah, so. Did those, were those, like, cars? your mind back to the moment, was there part of you that was like, can I get a suit from somewhere? Or were you just like, it is what it is? It was more than like before and after wearing a suit. I still at that stage assumed that we'd get inside, I'd put the robe on
Starting point is 00:29:50 and it all be the same anyway. Yeah. Because like a lot of people, and like we did as well, you know, afterwards you go out for lunch, a lot of team photos. Totally. Yeah. And so everyone's like, it's like celebration. Yeah. So even though you give the robe back, you still dress nice and you go out for lunch and stuff. Well, yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah. But, um, um, I'm, um, I was just a bit the girls, Mum, Bridget and Mabel. And we were all just dressed chill and we went out to Super Normal
Starting point is 00:30:13 for those playing along at home. That's very nice. Shout out to the lobby roles. I would marry a lobby role in a jeans and a t-shirt. Tapa Tegan. Hi, Tegan. When I graduated, I sat down. It's like she bought herself,
Starting point is 00:30:26 I assume like a really nice dress when she started the course. I'm just like, I'm going to wear this on my graduation day. Oh, I love that. Yeah, but like, you know how we would buy stuff? And then like, as if I could fit that anymore. Oh, yeah. I've got a, I've got that section of my, when I graduated I sat down and my dress split right up the back by the time I got on stage
Starting point is 00:30:44 I was practically naked under the gown so she's got the gown that's so funny that is so funny what a visual that is so hilarious uh Rachel on LinkedIn who is a wealth trust officer at the US bank thank you so much I hope on the way home from graduation you treated yourself through the thrire through and a car wash. And did you? My people. Do you have to give the, you've given the gown and everything back now?
Starting point is 00:31:12 Like, that's all done. I've got this one from Amazon. Yeah. And I'm going to be using. No, I was more thinking like, are you going through and being like, yes, I'll have six nuggets please. And they're like, thank you, Dr. Dunn.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Yeah. You know, because you've got like your robes on and stuff. Yeah. Because the different colors of the, I know that right now you are just wearing one from Amazon, but aren't the different colors like different stages of what you've graduated? Yeah. And then.
Starting point is 00:31:34 It's a different one for bachelor. as you get a different one if you graduate with honours, your master's, your PhD. It's all different, right? So on the stage, there's all the like professors and academics. And one guy looks, because he's done a PhD and now he's a father of something and and he's one was gangster. That's amazing. It was sick.
Starting point is 00:31:51 And it was like, oh yeah, because he's done the extra thing and his jacket's got four-stripped. It's a whole new world. Yeah, it's cool. It's like a karate belt. Katie Fisher said pop off, educated sis. Love it. Carol King says, is this a Ryan? bingo and I said I don't know no I'll go fuck this up Carol I wanted to finish the bingos
Starting point is 00:32:10 what happened I wanted to finish the bingoes I didn't put you graduating on there it was a nasty joke that is nasty that's nasty and it's time sensitive as well you know craziest thing this is from Anthony hi Anthony crazy thing about Anthony yes the craziest thing about this video of Ryan graduating is he had enough phone battery to record it all. Hilarious. NBA must stand for much battery always. Well done, Anthony Green.
Starting point is 00:32:43 That's amazing. I did really like the gangster shot you had of like from here when they said your name. Yeah. There's like a shot in there and they're like Ryan Dunn and you then you can see them putting well put your phone back in your pocket. Bridget didn't know I was making a little vlog of the day which I didn't realize I was until I've dressed like a fuckhead.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Yeah. She goes, as soon as I saw you on that stage with your phone in your hand, I was like fucking hell dude put your fucking phone away that is so funny and i bet you everybody else thought the same same and someone afterwards she goes get some good content oh hot and i was like actually did i actually did yeah go get a consultant job bitch yeah and she also did she probably slated yeah she's doing quite well actually yeah good for her um now can we talk about the hierarchy of swear words yeah so have we not until now Andrew Because he's, like, self-sensit a bit, because especially on LinkedIn, it's like, oh, it's professional, like, you know.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Oh, I always swear on LinkedIn. Yeah, and it's great. They like it. They do. They do. They do. I think that it comes across as edgy. Like, people think I'm an edgy businesswoman.
Starting point is 00:33:47 So, and I'm just to fuck it with a podcast. So, Andrew has written capital H. Yeah. And then, like, a star to, like, not use the proper word. And then CK. And then, yeah. Heck, yeah. So, but he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's,
Starting point is 00:34:04 cross because you wouldn't say heck on was it comedy um but he but he's you can't see the e because you know how like you'd like sort of self-censor in that way like know how that works so i'm asking was he doing comedy let me read his full thing and you can decide then okay and for uh how did i pronounce
Starting point is 00:34:26 yeah how would i say it that Andrew's written yeah so fucking proud of you dude and this is where I want to talk about the hierarchy of swear words because if I had to beat one of those well because heck is like a way of not saying hell that's what the heck is like the replacement it's like hell's freaking right
Starting point is 00:34:53 yeah yeah well fuck I think is obviously worse than heck I'd probably say it's the second worst like imagine if he's going like yeah you bad cunt like that's what that he's like backed in a cunt but he hasn't like backed in hair so i also don't beat that charles i read that comment and went hmm you should reply and just say cheers and see what happens you can beat that one not the other two though for comedy but that one you can do you know why i actually saw a lot of praise for you rhyme because you said heaps when you did ween well the other day and people are loving hearing you just say
Starting point is 00:35:31 heaps. And I love it too. For me personally, it makes me feel more feminine. I'm like, it makes me feel like connected to my body. So I, and I always say this when I meet someone new and we're doing a podcast. How you going? I say, is there, is there a quota? Oh yeah. I actually drank two Brookvale unions during that episode at nine in the morning. What's a Brookvale Union? They do a ginger beer, but I had the vodka pineapple coconut. Oh my God. I thought it was like Farmers Union. Like Chuck Mills. And I was like, Ryan, your tummy. Well, same, though.
Starting point is 00:36:05 But, yeah. Yeah. But so. So you were drinking alcohol. And they said no quota and you can get drunk. And I was like, let it rain, dog. That is just the. Yes, but getting drunk, no.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Not for me. Well, I just can't do it. But you got to adapt to your environment. And that's not this environment. That was that environment. Lad. Not this environment. Lads.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Lads. Um, thank you to everyone for your kind words on my graduating. You have done an amazing job. We're very. very proud of you. I appreciate it. What do you love to see, Tony Lodge? I've got you love to see here from Katie, and they messaged on Patreon. They're based in Adelaide. I started the fucking blog, a custom sugar cookie business. How yeah. In 2017. That's what I called Tony, my little sugar cookie cooking.
Starting point is 00:36:47 And now you can call me your sugar cookie business because you've got your MBA. Yeah. In 2017, Katie says, they had a pop-up food store with my cousins called Sunset Lane. So it was really successful. They sold like heaps of home. made stuff, I'm guessing at markets and stuff like that, but then they had to close it down during COVID because obviously there was no like group market stalls and stuff like that anymore. Katie says like really missed it, like missed kind of having the opportunity to be creative and stuff. So late 2024, early 2025, revisited the idea, did a few trial orders for friends and family
Starting point is 00:37:21 before officially starting. And this name I love. So the old food store was Sunset Lane. This is called Sunset Lane Legacy. That is cool. Isn't that great? Katie says, I've had weekly orders
Starting point is 00:37:36 ranging from 20 to 200 biscuits. Jesus Christ. From the one guy who just loves them. Yeah, who just loves some biscuits. My next biz goal is attending markets to get my small biz out there. So yeah, Sunset Lane Legacy on Instagram, Sunset Lane on Facebook,
Starting point is 00:37:54 we'll put the links in the thing, whatever. Sunset Lane, doesn't that just make? Sunset Lane, Wherever you're sitting right now, does it feel two degrees warmer, having heard that name? Right. Doesn't the name's Sunset Legacy just like make you want to get in the pool? It reminds me of...
Starting point is 00:38:12 Makes you want to eat fish and chips. It reminds me of Kate Hudson in Almost Famous. You love that movie. That's a great movie. It's one of my top part. So good on you, Katie. Love to see it. Thanks for sharing that on the material.
Starting point is 00:38:22 I love to see it. It's from saving grace animal rescue, but it's Tapa Jesse that sent this through. Oh, hi, Tapper Jesse. And he said, I think they've got a bit of autocorrect going on. Oh, no. And no one's really checked it. And like, it's just, imagine that, you know, they post a photo and they get four or five comments. And then one of them's got 5,000 and they haven't gone what's gone on here.
Starting point is 00:38:47 What's happened there? Yeah. So I think I'll just read the post as they've posted it. Okay. And we can decide, oh. Actually, I think they're trying to say pup. Yeah. I've got this little...
Starting point is 00:39:03 I'm just trying to think of how that could have gone wrong. Yeah, well, yeah. Okay. But they've got this pup at the saving greatest animal rescue who's been adopted. We're pleased to report that this stray pub is no longer astray. The pub has been plucked from her foster home and now has a permanent address. not plucked the pub has been plucked

And again, I went to like the next post on their page and it's got one comment. Yeah, and I don't know if they meant it. And to be honest, it doesn't matter if I know or not.
Starting point is 00:40:21 I love to see it. None of my stray pubs have ever found the home. Except for laying the bin or something. Except for fucking my teeth. I'm a graduate. I can't be saying shit like that. That is worse than the message Charles got. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:40:45 That's worse than that again. Take that back. I don't think that back. You take it back. No. You take it back. No, you do take it back. Let me give you my phone number.
Starting point is 00:40:56 So whenever I say something in a certain voice to Mabel, because she'll say to me like, go away and I go, no, you go away. Yeah. And it's like funny. Yeah. But now I've changed it. I go, you're beautiful. And she goes, no, you're beautiful.
Starting point is 00:41:09 And I go, no, you're beautiful. That is so fucking cute. And then mum comes in, Mum, Bridgett, comes in and goes, you're both beautiful. Oh. And we both, because shut up, mum, boring. Oh, and then, yeah, she's like, oh, don't do it to me as well. Yeah, we're like, we won't. You're like, okay, see you.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're like fully fully hazing her out, the relationship. Mabel came in for a cuddle. Actually, I don't know if we've said, but Mabel's no longer in a cot. She can, like, get herself out. So now she's, she's wandering down the hallway for a little morning cuddle and stuff.
Starting point is 00:41:38 I love that. And so, and she knows now that if she goes to mum's side, she's going to cop her, hey, back to bed at sleep time. And if she goes to dad's side, she's going to get her, all right, come on here. Like the dog, she knows the way in. Yeah. And it's on my side of the bed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:54 They do. So Bridget didn't even know she was in it because she snuck in and just slept on my side. She said, oh, Mom will like take me back to my room. Yeah. And so this morning I was giving her a big, big cuddle. And I said, we were like nose to nose. And I go, who does Dad love? And she usually goes, Mabel.
Starting point is 00:42:09 And I go, who does Dad love? And she goes, Dad loves Mom. Yeah. And then I heard Bridget go, yes. And she's like, she can stay. Yeah, I guess you can stay in for a little bit. Oh, that's so sweet. So a good time's happening at home.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Oh, I love that. Yeah, Pippa saying anything to you at the moment. Just the usual. Yeah. Get me my salmon slot. Yeah. Why do we have two fridges? Update, fridge is still there.
Starting point is 00:42:36 Oh, should we, you know how I gave the nod for every video show when I still had the chimney? Is there like a visual cue? Just so we don't have to say it, but just so. Okay. So if an episode ends with Tony giving the middle finger, you'll flip you off, it's because the fridge is still my fucking house. Yeah, and if you'd want to, can we give it to a tarpa? Just to fuck it off. Just to fuck it off.
Starting point is 00:42:59 The thing is, is that I really just need to recoup some losses from... Give it to a tarpa at a discount. It's fucking pretty decently discounted already. If you pay full price... You're getting a good deal. Like, all I can say is that you would be getting a good deal. If you pay full price and collect it and actually fucking turn up, I'll give you a free calendar. A tarpa.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Can you come to my house? Yeah, I come to your house. Yeah, I know you. I know you. You know the tarppers, we're all. Yeah, that's true. What about Ryan organizes for it to leave your house? Ryan, what if you got it air tasked from my house to the tarpa's house?
Starting point is 00:43:38 Done. Done. If they pay full price and you get a free calendar. Yeah. I'm pending that by tomorrow when this podcast comes out. It hasn't been sold. Imagine if it happened. You know what?
Starting point is 00:43:48 If this is tempting that, then yes. Can you like reverse engineer Murphy's Law? which is kind of what we're trying to do here. Like you're jinxing it back. We're tempting fate in the, like, the other way. You know when you, yeah, like when you reverse psychology, someone, you go like, oh, well, I didn't really want it anyway. You try and, you're trying, like, oh, well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:44:06 I didn't want to win a lotto. Yeah. You know what I didn't want to win the R&H home lottery? Yeah. That Charles and I bought eight tickets to. Yeah. Oh, did you get a video from someone the other day? Hang on.
Starting point is 00:44:20 It's so crazy you just out. Hand, let me check him if I got this video. I filmed it, maybe I didn't send it to you What are you talking about? I met this guy at a party Hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang What, party? You never been to a party life?

Starting point is 00:44:50 Tony, this is a strong. Oh, okay, I can't believe. I didn't send this to you. Here's my oddly love. Where are we up to in this episode? I don't know. I think we're about... We're about to end.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Oh, yeah. Press play on that. Okay. How many... Ignore how drunk and what I'm wearing. Okay. Tony, this is Troy. Hey, Tony.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Troy, where do you work? I work for Dream Home Art Union. And if I can... I will. He does the home lotteries. We're moving to Brighton, baby. Maybe I shouldn't have left in the bit where he said he'd rig it. Rig it.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Yeah. But he's... He's... works for the home lottery. No, can we take this out? Because if I win, I don't want there to be any fucking suggestion of foul play because I deserve those houses. I buy tickets like every other fat person.
Starting point is 00:45:34 I deserve those houses. And I deserve a fair chance just like everyone else. No, leave it in. Redact it. Leave it in. No. Can we just cut that bit off? No.
Starting point is 00:45:43 Ryan? No. We can beat what he says. Okay. I think you can win. Not if there's that evidence. And you'll just have to at the press conference. just be like, and I want it fairly.
Starting point is 00:45:55 And should I wear what you're wearing? Yeah, and my friend agrees and he's got a hat on. And he's got a graduation cap off. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, all workshopable. I don't think that would hold up in court that video because I am wearing a mariachi hat. I also love that.
Starting point is 00:46:11 He's wearing a mariachi hat. They also, like, Troy also goes to say something at the end and you cut the video off. It's like really funny. Yeah, you got up and you got up, hit the post. I got the out, hit the traffic. I love it. Yeah. Melbourne traffic.
