Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Author Tony Lodge. And we're calling Trinity, who I think we need a name for this end of town. It's not God's country. It's not the motherland. Oh, what is it? Darwin and the Northern Territory. My sister used to live there. I'm aware. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:15 Oh, but is that its tagline? Because when she lived there, it was my sister lives there. Okay. It's upgraded. Yeah. And now she doesn't live there anymore. Would you reckon Trinity knows her? Is it one of those towns? I don't think that you've hit dial there, mate. No. No, fucked it right up.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Yeah. I could ask my sister because she used to live there, probably knows Trinity. That's what I mean. Is it one of those towns where everyone knows everyone? I think it's bigger than you think. I hope so. Hello?
Starting point is 00:00:39 Trinity! Trinity! Hi. It's Tony and Ryan. How are you doing? I'm doing good, thanks. I'm on my way to school. On your way to school?
Starting point is 00:00:49 Trinity, how old are you? 17. 17. Oh, my God. Oh, my lanta. Okay. Now, Trinity, do you know Tony's sister? Because obviously there's only five people in Darwin.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Are you aware of her? And was there a big kerfuffle when she left town? Okay, first of all, I don't know Tony's sister. Second of all, there's not like five people in bloody Darwin. Okay. Although Darwin is pretty shit, honestly. Are you on a school bus right now? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:01:18 Yeah, I'm literally on a school bus right now. I haven't been on a school bus in years. Take me right back. Take me right back. Yeah. Tell you what, I'd be. No, don't. Don't say that. Trinity has just told us their age. That is 17 years. Okay, Trinity, will you approve this podcast and say nothing else? What would actually happen if I said no to approving the podcast?
Starting point is 00:01:39 Then we would ban Northern Territory from this podcast. Yeah, how would that make you feel, Trinity? Okay, then definitely I approve this podcast. Yeah, that's what I thought. What will the other five people in Darwin see you again? Look at your peers on that bus. Look them in the eye. Hi, I'm Trinity Coleman from Darwin, and I approve this podcast. Happy Monday. Happy Monday.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Happy new week. Yeah. Bloody Beth. We've got nothing to say now. Coming up today. Love you, Beth. Someone in this business has been accused of using the work credit card for something that's not required.
Starting point is 00:02:27 It's more of an optional purchase. Yeah. And it wasn't Tony this time. I believe. Darts have been thrown. I believe. Daggers. What am I?
Starting point is 00:02:37 I don't know. You have my ciggy. I believe that the last person that did it was you with the lotto ticket anyway. So I don't know why you're throwing me under the bus for that. No, and I will cop that. That is factual information. Before we get to that, though, I've got maybe one of those questions that would separate a room.
Starting point is 00:02:56 You know how people are like, oh, tomato sauce in the fridge. You know, like peanut butter in the fridge. What else goes in the fridge? And who would ever put peanut butter in the fridge? What else goes in the fridge? And who would ever put peanut butter in the fridge? It would make it so hard. Are you a crunchy guy or a soft guy? I used to be a soft guy, but I've crunched up over the years. I reckon I'm crunchy by default.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Smooth peanut butter to me is like. Yeah. Did you know the bagel place down the road? This will be? No. Mile End. Mile End. You can order, like one of the toppings is like crunchy peanut, like homemade crunchy
Starting point is 00:03:29 peanut butter and like a blueberry or like a plum jam or something. Yeah. Well, cause like. It's like a P, P, J, J. Yeah. But because it's like a homemade thick. Yeah. Like it just fucking goes right.
Starting point is 00:03:40 And homemade jam fucking slaps because it's always really tart, which is the way that I like it. I like it quite sour. Anyway, is it possible? I'm glad that we've covered that. Yeah. Is it possible, do you think, you, Ryan, and everybody listening, all of our tarping family, is it possible to be too compatible
Starting point is 00:04:04 with someone? Too compatible. Whether it's your partner or someone you spend a lot of time with, like your friend or a housemate or something. Because I feel like the classic, you know, Paula Abdul of like opposites attract. It's a Paula Abdul song. It is.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Really? Thanks for noticing. Great. Yeah. It's a great fact. But that you kind of go like, oh, well, you like the blah and I like the opposite. So like, oh, how great.
Starting point is 00:04:32 We've got something to talk about kind of thing. I mean, if you and I were really similar. This wouldn't work. I don't know. There wouldn't be much to talk about during the week. Five episodes a week. Do you reckon this? Yep. Me too. Me too the week. Five episodes a week. Do you reckon this? Yep.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Me too. Great. Have a good day. See you tomorrow. So I do think a little bit of light and shade and contrast is important. But I think in terms of a partner, I think the partner is the odd one out because you do want them to be similar because, oh, do you want to go on holidays and go hiking?
Starting point is 00:05:04 And everyone's like, fuck no. Like, why the fuck would I ever want to? Like, if I never hiked in my life, I'd die a happy man because it looks awful. Fucking preach, sister. But if you were into hiking and your partner's like, well, I'm never going to go with you and enjoy it, then you go, oh, but I'm actually really into this. But I want to do this. And that's how I spend my weeks off and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:05:21 And you go, well, all the best, bro, but maybe this is not quite right. Because I kind of agree. We're too compatible. So Torbs. You both love hiking and hate hiking. Torbs is not a hiker. No. So can't you just sit at home and enjoy how shit hiking is together?
Starting point is 00:05:42 Okay. So you're the one that's brought up hiking. No one else mentioned hiking and you're like, why won't you and Torbs go on a hike? It's not part of it. The hiking was just an example. Your compatibleness is that you both don't want to go hiking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:56 No, we don't. Because you're human. Because no human in their right fucking mind would want to go hiking. I do find it crazy when people are like, I love going on a hike. I'm like, what? Like, it doesn't make sense to me. I don't want to go hiking. I do find it crazy when people are like, I love going on a hike. I'm like, what? Like I just, it doesn't make sense to me. I don't want to do that. Were there no Ubers that day?
Starting point is 00:06:11 Yeah. Like Google the fucking Vista. Yeah. And then go get burgers for dinner. Like if the option is to hike or to not, like I'm picking not. Not every single time. And that's why you and I are such a great match because we both don't want to hike. It's like, what if we kept getting invited to hikes and we had this great excuse of we
Starting point is 00:06:30 have to do a podcast every day? Well, that's actually what's happened. Someone said, do you want to go on a hike? And I went, I actually have a podcast. And I said, do you want to start one? Do you want to start a podcast? Cause I really need to get out of this hike. And they go, oh, if we can't do today, we'll do tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:06:43 And then, so I had to tell them we did it every day. Yeah, and then all of a sudden we were five days a week and, yeah, we had to quit our other jobs. To fit this in. And I haven't been on a hike, so high five. Our jobs as hiking instructors. Job accomplished. Hiking instructors.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Instruct people how to hike? What would that be? See that hill walk up at you fucking idiot. I used to work at Catman Do. Well, I've got a job at Catmandu. Don't, because I don't fucking hike. That is maybe the funniest thing you've ever said. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:07:09 That's very, very funny. Thank you very much. Low bar, but thank you very much. So hiking aside, the thing. So the thing with hiking. Sorry. Sorry, everyone. What are the poles for?
Starting point is 00:07:23 Fucking jerking yourself off because you're a fucking hiker and you... I think you're thinking of snow skiing. No, no, no. There's hiking poles. Thank you. Is it so that you... You're thinking of jousting sticks. Okay, sorry.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Sorry, my mistake. What's the movie with the guy? Knight's Tale. Knight's Tale. Yeah, it's a great film. See, opposites attract, but actually not really because they're very similar. You know the thing that let that movie down? What?
Starting point is 00:07:46 Too much hiking. Too much walking. Not enough. Jousting. Sitting down. Yeah. They're rarely sitting in that movie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Apart from they're sitting on the horses. Does that count? The horse is hiking. Yeah, poor horsey. Yeah. Yeah, animal cruelty. Stop it now. Anyway, Torbjorn and I, my partner, we've been together for a really long time.
Starting point is 00:08:03 We met at uni. So, like, you know how you've got've got like your high school friends and your friends just because like you see each other every day. But then when you go to uni, you actually meet people that are like into the same shit as you. Cause you're doing the same course. Cause you're doing the same course. Which is great when you do a fun course like yours, but not fun when you study accounting.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, that's probably why I met my boyfriend there and not at an accounting course. Um, but we have a lot, we like a lot of the same stuff. Accounting. Yeah. Well, yeah, I mean, that's probably why I met my boyfriend there and not at an accounting course. Yes. But we have a lot, we like a lot of the same stuff. Yep, that's why we're so great together. We both like live music, but like some different bands. And like we both like, you know, there's things that we like doing together, but we both have different parts that like branch off.
Starting point is 00:08:42 We also both have really like similar values and beliefs. And that's why you guys are so great together. But we also still like speak critically and have challenging conversations. Yep. Because I think a lot of people think like, oh, well, if you both go, I don't know, I'm trying to think about a belief that's like. We kind of have toxic positivity. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:09:02 But also if you go, yeah, I vote for X and you go, I vote for X as well, and you go, okay. Like that's actually not what it is. You go, I vote for X, but like I don't agree with this. You know, we still have like really critical conversation. I've observed some of these critical conversations. And to give you an insight into the relationship, Tony will come home and go, oh, this thing happened and this person said this
Starting point is 00:09:20 and they thought that. And Tobbs goes, did that really happen? And Tony goes, no, but it could have. Well. The line is, did he they thought that? And Torbs goes, did that really happen? And Tony goes, no, but it could have. Well. The line is, did he really say that? No, that makes it sound like I lie all the time. No, I just, the potential for bad things going wrong and stuff to worry about.
Starting point is 00:09:34 It's more future things rather than like, that's what happened today. It's more like, oh, what if this happens tomorrow? And he'll go, well, like, what's actually the likelihood of that? Or like, let's break down why you're worried about that thing. You're better at describing yourself than me because I'm not there. Thank you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I'll throw that one to you next time. Thank you. But also like I've talked about this on the podcast before, Torbs is really good with me when I'm like emotional about something or like something's happened and I really just like need to get it out. He'll say like, are you solutions or emotions based right now? Still one of the great lines in modern day history. Do you just need to like yell and cry and vent right now? Or do you want me to say, why don't we try X? Pull up a chair to the table, get the notepad and let's get a plan.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Yeah. Cause you know, when you just like need to vent and then someone goes, maybe next time you go, nah, that's actually not what I'm here for. I'm not ready for that yet. Or sometimes after you've cried out, you go, okay, it's actually fine. I just needed to talk about it. So I think that like we've got a lot in common.
Starting point is 00:10:38 We value a lot of the same things. And I never, ever thought that it would be a problem. But something's come up. Is it a hiking trip? And we don't know what to say. We can't do any more podcasts. In Australia, we have a box of chocolates called favourites. Oh, delicious.
Starting point is 00:11:00 It's the thing you take when you're told not to bring anything. Exactly. That was their tagline for many years and it's perfect. Is it still the tagline? It should be. If it's not, they've failed themselves because it's perfect. It's the thing you take when you're told not to bring anything. Exactly. That was their tagline for many years and it's perfect. Is it still the tagline? It should be. If it's not, they've failed themselves because it's perfect. It's a royal sampler of all the different chocolates they make in a little box, little fun size each.
Starting point is 00:11:15 And if I was going to someone's house for a barbecue, I'd go, what can I bring? They'd go, oh, no, just yourselves. That's what you take. Nice gesture of goodwill. After dinner, the host makes a cup of tea. You pull these favourites out and everyone goes. Just what I was after.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Yeah. And it's like exactly like you said, a royal sampler. There's like a bunch of different chocolates in there. And one of them is a Turkish delight. Don't. No. I'll fucking stop you right there and go on a hike. 90% of conversations when you bring favourites is everyone has a few favourites
Starting point is 00:11:48 and then you kind of swindle the box at the end and there's like two or three shit ones in the bottom. Someone looks in and goes, oh, it's only Turkish Delights left. And then someone goes, yeah, okay, throw it out. Over the past few years, it has become like cool to hate Turkish Delight. No. Exactly like what you've said. No, it's not cool to hate Turkish Delight. No. Exactly like what you've said. No, it's not cool to hate Turkish Delight.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Turkish Delight just sucks. And I don't think it's ever been a fan fave. I think that's pretty fair. And to be in a box called favorites. Yeah. Favorites. Yeah. Not, like, impartialness.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Or, like, that's okay. Yeah, imagine if they were called, like, tolerables. Middle of the road. Yeah, couldn't sell elsewhere. Didn't want to go for a hike. Non-walking chocolate. I would pay that. But when you use the word favorites, don't fucking at me with a Turkish delight.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Well, so now it's like become a pop culture thing of like, oh, Turkish delights are always the thing that's like you just exactly like you said, you shake that bottom of the thing and there's like maybe one dream, which is the white chocolate, and two Turkish delights. And people go like, oh, that's so shit. Dreams are underrated. But you're right, they often end up down the bottom.
Starting point is 00:12:54 They're often at the bottom. Torbs and I both love Turkish delight. Love Turkish delight. James, can you just Google 25 metre red flag and buy five? Torbs and I. Warning signs, psychopath behaviour. Torbs and I. Psychos. Both love Turkish delights.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Like if we open a box of favourites, it's the first one we'll both reach for. I like it more than a moro. I'll take it over a twirl. There's nothing in that box that I would... Crunchy? Crunchy's at the bottom for me. Go and you guys... I feel like... We'll get another co-host.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Ryan's walked out. He's in his swimming shorts. I'm not dressed well enough to leave the show. Are you joking me? Okay. So hang on. Come sit back down. No, we're not on a break.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Does anyone here like Turkish Delight? Okay. Ryan just asked. The whole office said no. The whole office said no. He's just polled the office and everyone said no. Let it be known someone walked in and said, well, you're on a break. And I went, we're not.
Starting point is 00:14:06 No, no, no. We're doing gear at the moment. But Torb's and I, it's our favourite, both of our favourite. And maybe we should pop right down that next week we should talk about the ranking of the official ranking of favourites. Yep. Because it sounds like there's arguments to be had over this. But for me. Is a Morrow bar a Mars bar?
Starting point is 00:14:24 And they're just really taking the piss. A Morrow is good though, isn't it? It is. I like a Morrow and there's always a lot of those in here. But let's stay on message. We both love Turkish Delights. I can see why that's an issue. And because now it has become like pop culture vibes
Starting point is 00:14:41 and like popular to hate Turkish Delight, they now only put two Turkish Delights in every box. Okay. So in a perfect world, you would be compatible in every other aspect of your life, but there would be in a relationship one person that liked a Turkish Delight. And one person that liked the dream. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:03 And so, or just one person that did not like the Turkish Delight. So when there's a few, there you go, well, obviously they're fucking yours because I'm not a psychopath. Yeah. And because it's not like I really like them and Torbs is like, I don't mind them. They're both of our favourites. Favourites within the favourites.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Like it's not like, oh, I'll have it if it's there. Both of us like would reach for that first. And when we first started dating, this is, you know, 10 years ago, I said, I don't think I've ever met anybody else that likes Turkish Delight. And he went, me either. And I went, oh. It's so perfect. Isn't that so perfect?
Starting point is 00:15:40 But I think we need to break up. Yeah. Because I am copping one Turkish delight, sometimes none, if there's only one in the box. And a box of favourites is, what, $8, $10? $15? Are they stinging it? Bro, $15 and up now.
Starting point is 00:15:56 So you're paying $15 for one bite of Turkish delight. That's not good numbers. Well, no, financially. No. It'd be cheaper to fly to financially. No. And so. It'd be cheaper to fly to Turkey. Yeah. And they just call them Delights.
Starting point is 00:16:09 And then while we're there, because I'll be on the trip, obviously. Oh, yeah. I'll go to my guy that does the. The massages. Yeah, the slapping. Yeah. And you could get your teeth done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Yeah. With my hair on. I'll get a tummy tuck. Yeah. Yeah, great. But so I just, I, what's the solution? What do you do? Besides breaking up, nothing comes to mind.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Like that's actually just the only clear option. Random question, which. Random question. I don't, I hope there's not an answer to this. Do they sell just Turkish Delight? They do. But you wouldn't. And it's the same brand.
Starting point is 00:16:46 So you can buy like often at delis or like kebab places or whatever, they'll have like traditional Turkish Delight, which is just the jelly part. If you got a place across the road from us, I mean you wouldn't get it from there. They probably sell it and it's probably like a really traditional one. But the Fry's one, which is what they have in a box of favourites, is the gold and
Starting point is 00:17:05 pink wrapper, the foil. They sell that in like this size. Okay. Like a, yeah, like it's a chocolate. It's like half an iPhone or something. Yeah. It's like a bar. We don't deal in grams.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Yeah. Yeah. That's why I'm like, okay, what have I got around me? Half an iPhone's worth of Turkish delight. Um, you know, so yeah, you can buy them. Yeah. iPhones worth of Turkish delight. You know. So, yeah, you can buy them. Yeah. But you wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:17:30 You just wouldn't do it. Well, I would never go and just buy a chocolate bar. Like I couldn't tell you the last time I bought like a Mars bar or something. Righto. What else are you doing in your model life? Yeah, on the way to my Vogue shoot, I stopped and grabbed a king-size fucking mask yeah i really rarely buy chocolate bars in but yeah yeah i'm buying a block mate you know
Starting point is 00:17:51 i'm not buying if i feel like chocolate i'll buy like a block of top deck or something yeah so we're getting chocolate yeah yeah yeah but i would never just buy so i'm never like oh i'll just grab a turkish july it's like buying foreplay yeah Give me the whole thing and I'll pay for the whole lot. Yeah. Actually, yeah, that's beautiful what you just said. Poetic. Yeah, no, I think, well, the good thing about you not being married is you don't have to do the divorce thing.
Starting point is 00:18:16 No paperwork. Yeah. Exactly right. You just move on. So thank God I didn't propose to him on leap day. On leap day. Because imagine the fucking dramas we would have now. Yeah, thank God you didn't buy a house with him late last year.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Yeah, thank God we don't have a baby together, Pippa. Who would get the dog? Oh, I actually can't even think about it. Because he loves her so much. I mean, look at the drama of the Turkish Delight. Imagine Pippa. I'll go, you can have the Turkish Delight on Mondays and Tuesdays and I'll have Pippa.
Starting point is 00:18:41 We'll swap over. Obviously you never have Turkish Delight and Pippa on the same day. Yeah, I guess you can. Sounds like the perfect day actually. Because he loves her so much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we would never be able to. I think we'd have to stay together.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Yeah, what do you think of people that stay together for the kids? Yeah, I think that stay together for the Turkish Delights. Yeah. Yeah. It's a tough situation you've found yourself in. Yeah. But I would love to know if anybody's got like a little reason that they should break up with their partner.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Does it have to be too compatible? Yeah. I guess it's just like, I don't really want like, oh, he cheated on me, so I think we have to break up. Like that's too big. I think that's actually a fair reason. But we probably don't need to comment on that. Do you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:19:21 But something little and cute like this, you know, which is meant in jest. Is it? Well. Torbs doesn't think that. Yeah, officially. He's hired a man with a van. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's moving in with you guys.
Starting point is 00:19:32 He is. You've got Pippa on Mondays and Tuesdays. Yeah, let us know when the episode's ready. Up next. Oh, fuck this. Yeah. Ha! Fuck this.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Hey, it's Cindy from Darwin. Thank you. You're listening to Tony Robbins. Yeah. A massive shout-out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon. You can check out our Patreon anytime. All the links are in our show notes and in our Facebook group, Instagram buyers, all of that.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Tabitha O'Keefe. Thanks, Tabby. Not me. Different Tabitha. Cam Bruce. Good on you, Cam. Megan Weaver, Jordan Cunningham, Sarah Bell, and Holly Harker. Thanks, Holly Harker.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Doesn't Holly Harker sound like a sports-like champion? Yeah. And now, Holly Harker sound like a sports-like champion? Yeah. And now, Holly Harker! Ding, ding. That was really good. Like a boxer. Yeah. That was really good.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I could do that for a job. Yeah, and that's all we've got time for today. Nope, it's absolutely fucking not. Here at Tony and Ryan HQ, we weren't always a business, but now we are. Bullying. Corporate bullying. And we've always known that we aren't cool. I don't think that anyone would go, oh, Tony and Ryan, how cool.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Like I think that we're nice and we're fun. Let's keep it nice and fun and don't worry about the bullying. People feel like included, which is lovely. But I think we're not very cool. Bullying. But we've hit a new low bullying you shut up that is bullying this is real bullying now the other day i was going through uh the charges on the work card um like i was saying the other day which has been forgotten now we're ordering lots of stuff for the new office and we're trying to like line up all of our purchases with like, oh, yeah, I bought that thing from X.
Starting point is 00:21:28 You know, like we don't normally have to buy much stuff, but at the moment there's like a lot of things coming through. Had a call from the bank going, there's been some unusual purchases and we go, yeah. Yeah, we bought things. And I see this charge on there that like I didn't make for $39.99. I believe you said it looked scammy. Well, nah, but I thought, hey, that looks an awful lot
Starting point is 00:21:53 like a premium subscription amount. And then my eyes glaze over to the rest of the transaction and it says $39.99 for LinkedIn Australia. Bullying. Bullying. If you've got nothing more to add than that, mate, you've got to fucking, you do need to be on LinkedIn because we're going to fire you. Especially when it's free, if you just have a Facebook.
Starting point is 00:22:21 I've actually already heard that, James. That's exactly right, James. I've actually already heard that. So I think that we need to talk about LinkedIn over Facebook. Oh, I've actually already heard that, James. Thank you. That's exactly right, James. I've actually already heard that. So I think that we need to talk about LinkedIn and why you are paying for a premium account like a loser. Well, we haven't. That is bullying. We haven't established that I would purchase it.
Starting point is 00:22:36 All right. Well, I'll let you have the floor if you decide to say more than one word. No, I said it wasn't something I used. James, did you buy it? Nope. Fine, it was me. Okay. It was me.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Explain yourself. Because people that use LinkedIn are often very judgy. Oh, yeah. I worked with someone in the past, right, who was like, Instagram and Facebook and stuff are such a waste of time, but, like, was up LinkedIn's asshole. Like every single minute I would like look over at their computer screen and they'd be like, have LinkedIn open.
Starting point is 00:23:11 I'm like, okay, well, it's just like Instagram for old people. Do you know what I mean? Like. Educated, career focused people. Sure. Who was the person? It's not important. Mouth it to me.
Starting point is 00:23:25 What? I'll tell you after. Okay. What? No. Okay. Anyway. But you know how people like that.
Starting point is 00:23:44 Do you, Tony Lodge, ever like for some reason, some random person from in your life pops into your mind? Totally. We have a running game. We do. In this office. Of name someone we haven't thought of in a while. Name someone you haven't thought of in a while. And sometimes I'll get a random text message in the middle of the night that says like.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Weird Al Yankovic. Mike Whitney, you know? Nah, you've said him before. I have, but that'll be good for people listening to the podcast who haven't thought about Mike Whitney in a while. And I told you that Weird Al Yankovic didn't count because of the Harry Potter movie. Yeah, and Mike Whitney didn't count because he was recently brought
Starting point is 00:24:19 into the Hall of Fame for the New South Wales cricket. He's good, isn't he? Do you then, when you think of like a blast from the past, of like a person from high school or whatever, like punch it into Instagram or Facey and just see where they're at? Normally my go-to is Facebook, I think. Oh, they go from high school. What's he up to?
Starting point is 00:24:38 Then you type their name and you go, oh, they've got a kid now. Good on them. Yeah. So the thing with LinkedIn is when you stalk someone from your past, it shows up and said, Tony Lodge looked at your profile. Yeah. So the thing with LinkedIn is when you stalk someone from your past, it shows up and said, Tony Lodge looked at your profile. Yeah. There's a setting you can change for that and it doesn't cost anything. Oh, then cancel it.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Is there really? Yeah, there is. No. Because I've got it. I've changed the setting. Why would anyone not have that setting on? Because then you can't see who's looked at you. So that's a trade-off.
Starting point is 00:25:08 It's like when you don't show your activity on Instagram or on Messenger or whatever, it's like they can't see you're online but you can't see if they are either. So, yeah, exactly right. It's a deal. You do a deal with the devil. Yeah, so I, well, yeah, I mean, give me my money back because I thought I was paying for the right to be able to creep on people.
Starting point is 00:25:30 No, no, no, no. And because we are potentially getting another team member, like how many times can you go back to their LinkedIn? See, I've thought about this because I've looked at the same person that you're talking about. Yeah, and then they go, oh, well, that makes sense because I've applied for a job and they're checking me out. Yeah, and they go go, oh, well, that makes sense because I've applied for a job and they're checking me out.
Starting point is 00:25:45 And they go eight times. Yeah, and they go, oh, Ryan's back again. Yeah, just take a screenshot while you were here and remember what university I went to. Yeah, oh, he's logged in at 3am. That's a bit strange. That's a bit strange. And you're like, oh, I'm just up with the baby and I'm like, my mind's racing, you know. And so I'm trying to hide my stalkiness.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Yeah, okay. And I think that's fine. I actually think hiding your stalkiness is fine. And the point of social networks is going, hey, I actually don't want to catch up with you for a beer, but I think that's fine. I actually think hiding your stalkiness is fine and the point of social networks is going, hey, I actually don't want to catch up with you for a beer, but I am curious to know. But I want to know what you're up to. You move to Sydney and have a life.
Starting point is 00:26:12 I want to know what you're up to without the fucking mishmash at the beginning. Yeah. So the reason that I thought maybe you'd bought LinkedIn Premium was because did you know, James, that Ryan has over 3,000 followers on LinkedIn? I didn't know that. Yeah, over 500 connections.
Starting point is 00:26:30 500 is actually the maximum amount of numbers. It just says 500 plus. I didn't know that. So who knows? So are you a LinkedIn fluencer? Is this what we're hearing? All right, well, if we're going to play that game, there's only one person on our show that has their name
Starting point is 00:26:45 in LinkedIn as a page on Facebook. And it ain't me, sweetheart. You can go and follow. I will cop that. I will cop that. I'm a LinkedIn influencer. You can go and find Tony Lodge LinkedIn on Facebook, which is a fake page.
Starting point is 00:27:02 It's not operated by anyone here, but it exists. It's in the world, and I'm pretty sure it's got a fair few fucking followers, so you can suck on that. Yeah, all right. Let's move on to You Love to See It. That's amazing. That's what I thought. That's the comeback of all comebacks.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Just beautiful. But seriously, though, I will unsubscribe if I knew you can turn that off. Yeah, I'll show you how to do it. And I will stalk for free, bitches. Yeah, yeah, yeah, nice. What up? Yeah, but you do lose the access to who's the dude. I'll tell you what's fucked, though.
Starting point is 00:27:26 What? Because sometimes it'll be like you can't see who's followed you, but it'll be like someone from the accounting industry has viewed your profile. And so if it says like because our employer is Tony and Ryan, so it'll be like, oh, can't tell you who for privacy, but someone from Tony and Ryan has viewed your robot. We're only two employees.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Yeah, it's like, well, it's not Tony because she doesn't know her password. That is true, yeah. I'm busy on Facebook. I'm doing LinkedIn on Facebook. Yeah, I'm changing it up. I'm young. I might have to revisit that, but I'll watch this space. I do have You Love to See It from Tapa Kate.
Starting point is 00:28:03 Actually, this is LinkedIn energy for a love to see it today. Okay. What do you got, Kate? I successfully negotiated pay rise and my boss tried to stop me and say, no, those bonuses are no longer available. Because, you know, they go, oh, this year we've got this new incentive where we're doing this thing and blah, blah, blah. And then apparently they changed their mind.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Kate said, I didn't cop that shit. I sat there and gassed myself up to the directors for half an hour and then dropped her in a polite way. It's actually not my fault that you guys can't communicate effectively about the changes to the bonus structure. That's good. How fucking hot girl shit is that? That is literally cum town.
Starting point is 00:28:44 And the directors just went, yeah, bonus is yours. Well done. And they've since changed and communicated the changes to the policy, but not before Kate got her well-earned pay rise. Oh, no. You love to see that. You do love to see that. You love that.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Tony's laughing, Kate. That's amazing, Kate. Yeah. Post that on LinkedIn. I do. I like that. And I'll look at your profile multiple times. Yeah, and she won't know. Someone from Tony and Kate. Yeah. Post that on LinkedIn. I do. I like that. And I'll look at your profile multiple times. Yeah, and she won't know.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Someone from Tony and Ryan. Yeah. My love to see it is that our friend Abby Arianne messaged us in Patreon and said, thanks for keeping me comfy while I'm – comfy. Sorry, I'm thinking – Do you need to take a break? Yeah, sorry. Said, thanks for keeping me.
Starting point is 00:29:25 I can't take the lid off. Thanks for keeping her company while she's going through a really hard time. And Abby asked as well that we give a special heavenly shout out to her big sister, Sophie. Yep. Who's recently passed away. And I promised her that we'd laugh very loud for her this week so that Sophie can hear us. So love you, Sophie. Love you, Sophie.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Love you, Sophie. Is that how it works? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I've heard that. Yeah. On LinkedIn. I read it on LinkedIn.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Yeah, okay, great. But, Abby, we're sending you all of our love. Yeah, that sucks. And she'll be able to hear us, I promise. I'm very loud. Yeah, very loud. My mum's heard a lot of stuff. I certainly hope not.
Starting point is 00:30:03 I actually certainly hope not. No, we love you, Abby. So sending you lot of stuff. I certainly hope not. I actually certainly hope not. No, we love you, Abby. So sending you lots of love. And I think I've said this to many people over the journey, but when I was having a rough time, there was like a few podcasts that were my thing that I was looking forward to or just gave me a chance to think about something else for half an hour. So the fact that we're that for some other people,
Starting point is 00:30:21 it feels like a very nice way to sort of pay it forward. So thanks for sharing your story. But, yeah. Sending you lots of love, Abs. Absolutely. Abby, absolutely. Vanessa Amorosi. Nah, because Tom and Ollie did a video,
Starting point is 00:30:37 and it was the best thing they've ever done. They used to do a late night radio show. When was the video? But it keeps popping up in my mind. No, you can't even claim that. Because let me tell you the video and you'll appreciate how good this video is. So they used to do a late night show from midnight to 5am, right? And then she came into the office to do an interview at 2am or something,
Starting point is 00:30:56 which respect to her. And then the video was called Vanessa Amorosi performs Absolutely Everybody to Absolutely No One. And she sang around the office and there was no one there because it was 2am. When was the last time that you thought about that video? I saw a picture of Tom pop up on Instagram because he's posting gay thirst traps. And I was like, fuck, remember when they did that video? Fuck.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Vanessa Amorosi is a good one though. That is a good one though. Yeah, alright. Vanessa Carlton. Nah, I think we thought about her the other day because of the song in White Chicks, you know how they do like A Thousand Miles, yeah, and she's on the piano in the back of the car. Anyway, love you everyone so much.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Thank you so much for listening, not just today but every day. Who's the guy that sings Yellow Taxi in a parking lot? Counting Crows. Counting Crows. But I did it. So are you saying it doesn't count because you thought of him three seconds ago? Do you know why it doesn't count?
Starting point is 00:31:51 This is a long road for a short drink of water. But just the other day, well, at Christmastime actually, it's a little while ago, I watched Love Actually. And you know how Alan Rickman is cheating on Emma Thompson with the girl from work? Yeah work and she thinks she's getting the necklace but she actually gets the Joni Mitchell CD. Big Yellow Taxi is a Joni Mitchell song and whenever I think about Love Actually, I think about that song by Counting Crows.
Starting point is 00:32:17 And another sub one off that is because Shrek 2, Accidentally In Love, is by the Counting Crows and I think about that movie literally every day. All right. If you haven't figured out the game, it's who haven't you thought of for a really long time. And you have to have, like, some kind of, like, visceral bodily reaction where you go, yes.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Bruno Mars. Nah. I won't pay Bruno Mars. Any of the One Directioners who aren't the good ones. The TV show Dharma and Greg. I'll pay that. Yeah. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:32:50 I'll pay that. It's been a while since you've got one. Yeah. I will pay that. Yes! Jenna Alfman? Is she that? Taylor Leone.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Oh. No, was Taylor Leone in Dharma and Greg? Maybe it was Jenna Alfman. They look the same, don't they? Have we got a confirmation? Is it Taylor Leone or Jenna Alfman? I'm pretty sure she had it was Jenna Elfman. They look the same, don't they? Have we got a confirmation? Is it Tay Leoni or Jenna Elfman? I'm pretty sure she had it. Jenna Elfman, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Who's Tay Leoni? Tay Leoni, is that one? No, it doesn't count if you don't know who they are. Oh. Remember from Dama and Greg? Yeah. Oh, I haven't thought about that show in so long time. Have a good day, everyone.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Love you, bye. Bye.
