Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Author Tony Lodge. We're about to call Fernando. Yep. Which is an extremely common, easy to pronounce name even for me. Yes. And, but they go by Fern.

Great. Which is fine. But Sophie said they go by Fern and I think she was trying to help me going, oh, Ryan, Fernando is a bit of a big name for him. I mean, Infern-ness. In Fern-and-ness. Oh, you can just go by that one if it's him. I mean, Infernus. Infernandus. You can just go by that one if it's easier.

No, I think it's what they go by. Yeah, but that's what we've just come around to. Right, okay. But you were like, I can pronounce Fernando. But, Ryan, Infern's a bit too hard for you. You can just go by F. Abba? That is good. Yeah.

Let's fucking call them. Yeah, but I will say pronouncing their town will be a different story. Oh, okay. Oh, so there's still pronunciation issues. Should I just go for it? Sure. Hello? Fern!

It's Tony and Ryan. How are you doing? Good. How are you? Not too bad. How are things in San Luis Espieto? Close. Close.

It's San Luis Obispo. That was close. I don't think it was. I think Fern's been quite polite to you. Fern is quite polite. He's a very nice person. Now, Fern, I need you to confirm something for me. Confirm.

Confirm something for me because Tony doesn't know about this. Is it true you were in a plane that was almost shot down by North Korea? True or false? Very true. How the hell does something like that, how, where, who? How does that almost happen? Yeah. So I was, I was living in South Korea at the time going to university. And I was on a flight coming back from China.

I left China early because I hated it there. Sorry to people that like China. Ali Jacket's going to have a few days. Yep. So I got back on the earliest flight back to Seoul. And the pilot wanted to take a shortcut. So we flew over North Korea. I don't think that's allowed, is it?

It's not allowed. You can't even do that in an Uber. Yeah. You know, you've got to follow the map. No. Don't you have to go to school and learn how to read fucking math? Yeah. I was like, this isn't right this can't be

right and then i like i see i'm like it's all jungle and then i see just like something fly up into the sky i'm like that looked like a rocket and then another thing flies up and it like just misses by uh i don't know it came pretty close i don't know how close it was um and then the pilot got on the overcom and he's like, everybody needs to close their windows. Because rockets don't work if you can't see them.

Yeah, it's like a T-Rex. Yeah. So then he took like a hard right turn. Plane starts going down and then finally I see that we're back in South Korea

and I'm like, no, we were definitely in North Korea because I saw the DMZ and stuff and then we land at Incheon Airport and police are just starting to flood into the airport. Does the pilot would be.

Does the pilot get arrested for that? Surely. I think so. I think the pilot was arrested. I didn't stay long enough to find out. And that's fair. I'd be getting the phone number. You're always getting off the plane as fast as you can, aren't you?

You know, like you're always standing in the aisle until you can leave. I wonder what he was in a hurry for because I know one time I was driving back to Beaufort and I know the fish and chip closes at 8 o'clock. That's probably what it was. Yeah, and I was like 7.40 and I was going past Ballarat and I was like, I'm going to have to fucking – I've got a gunner here. Yeah.

Yeah, through North Korea. Yeah, and I reckon that guy was sort of like, oh, I'll carry the one to – Yeah, that'll be fun. If I'm going to get that flaky, I'm going to have to skip straight through here. Yeah. And you've got to be early if you want a deep fried Mars bar, isn't it? But if you get there with 10 minutes left, they fucking tell you, no, the batter machine's off.

Yeah, because I've got to clean. Cleaning should happen after the shop's closed. That's actually your... Yeah. Fern, anyway. Fern, would you mind approving today's podcast? Sure. I would love to.

Great story, by the way. Amazing. But the fish and chips. Hey, it's Fern from Southern California, and I approve this podcast. All right, welcome to a new week, and I hope you assholes in the Northern Hemisphere are nice and warm in your balmy summer because it's fucking cold in here. It's frosty. Like last week in Melbourne, there's like ice on the car every day.

When I was driving to work, there's like, it looked like snow on the sidewalk. Really? Because like all the grass was like, yeah, frosty. Yeah, it looked quite magical actually. Did your Audi beep at you when it's four degrees or less? Beep at me? Like how?

Like you can't drive it. No, sometimes the cars will just pop on the dash and it'll be like, oh, warning light. Oh, well, if it's, so the other day it was like one degree and it just has a little snowflake on the thing. It's like just letting you know like don't fuck with your car too much. Don't fuck shit up. Well, because if you like rev the shit out of it,

you'll fuck things up because it's not warm. I thought it was more like four degrees or under is like icy roads. Slippery. I guess it is a little bit of that. Well, it's fucking cold here and we're all rugged up. You've got a really woolly cardion. This is not what I planned to wear today, but I was like I'm not fucking, I can't do anything less. I've got a thick um woolly cardi this is not what i planned to wear today but i was like i'm not fucking i can't do anything less i got a thick jacket and i'm feeling like a coat like an outdoor

coat did you take that coat to the u.s i did yeah this is my toronto winter toronto new york it's fucking cold yeah we've just ordered uh eight heaters for the office yep uh they should be coming any day now yep uh both j James and Sophie are wearing beanies inside. It's like a fucking igloo. And I don't know how this is possible. I'm not a, what's the insulation guy? No. How is it colder inside our office than outside in the elements?

I don't know. That doesn't make sense. It's because we're a small business. Guys, times are tough. Times are tough. Small businesses. Everyone's got a blanket instead of heating. No, heating's coming.

So is fucking Christmas, mate. Yeah, I know. Yeah, yeah. Work safe. You know, OH&S is all good. Well, the thing about heaters is we've got solar. So in theory, is that free heating or is there no sun, there's no heat? No, because there's still sun.

Yeah. And normally it's when it's sunny and there's no clouds is when it's colder because the clouds like insulate you so that clouds like keep the air in. So no clouds equals solar equals heater. Okay, that works. Yeah, so like, you know, the algebra of that all works out. Welcome to the science podcast.

Yeah. It's good to be here. And I actually think we're doing quite well. Call me Dr. Carl because I'm just... I'm not even going to... Yep. Yeah. We go from science to finance chat because it's a Monday

and everyone needs to talk about business. I love finance chat. I have some financial advice, two ways to save money. Oh. Money win, as they say. They do say that. First tip. Your cock.

Sorry, it was too much science. That's where we're back yeah yeah we're on now hello never buy a tony lodge a voucher or a gift card just photoshop one give her a fake you get the credit for the gesture and you save your cash because Tony Lodge will never, ever use a voucher or a gift card. No. Okay. Hang on. I won't use a voucher in person. Like I probably wouldn't use one like at a restaurant or something. Yep.

But I would use a gift card online. Oh, okay. That's a good difference. Like in the privacy of my own home. So why is it that you won't use a voucher or gift card IRL? It's the logistics because, okay, so I've got this fear in my life that I like go somewhere and say like it's a restaurant, right, and I eat all this food and I do it up, do it real bougie because I'm like,

oh, I've got a voucher that someone gave me for my birthday or whatever and then I go up to the counter and I go, up, do it real bougie because I'm like, oh, I've got a voucher that someone gave me for my birthday or whatever. And then I go up to the counter and I go, oh, yeah, because I've got this voucher. And then they go, no, that's not valid. Or like that doesn't work on Saturdays or, you know, whatever. Because you know how they've got like all those stipulations? I don't think so, no.

They absolutely do. You know when you use like the entertainment book? No. Like a coupon book? Do you know what I'm talking about? I do recall my mum having one in 1997. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we used to get that every year because of like either basketball or Girl Guides or fucking, you know, like you would always end up with one.

And on the bottom it would be like can't use it on Tuesdays and Saturdays, can't like use it after 5 p.m all that stuff yeah yeah because it was like it wasn't actually money it was like a good discount this is what's incepted you yeah because in the real world there's no don't say the real world because it's still real you don't talk about the entertainment book like that they're big fans of this podcast buy the entertainment book for a lot of money and you have to make your money back by going out of the house that's a scam i'll just buy the book and stay home the entertainment book would be like over a hundred bucks but they'd be like yeah but it's thousands of dollars worth of value great well next time i'm in gisborne and feel like a lobster that yeah that's how they

get you save four bucks and on tuesday because. Yeah. That's how they get you. I can save four bucks. And on Tuesday, because it's only valid on a Tuesday. You can't use it on the weekend. Anyway, and so I've just got this fear, like a recurring fucking waking nightmare, that I eat all this food and it's really expensive, that I try to use the voucher and they go, well, no, that's not valid. Then I have to pay for it.

Okay, let's do, you know how Tim Ferriss does fear setting, which is the opposite of goal setting? Let's do some fear setting here. Okay. You work at the restaurant. Yep. And I'm going to pay with a voucher. Yep.

But maybe it's the wrong day. Yeah, okay. All right. I'm off to the counter to pay. Hello. How was everything? It was delicious. Thank you so much.

Oh, beautiful. Really like that Gisborne lobster. Oh, and isn't it, it's just lovely every day of the week. Yeah. Yeah. It is lovely every day of the week? Yeah. It is lovely every day of the week. Yeah. So that's $955, sir. How will you be paying today?

I've actually got a voucher from the entertainment book. Here you go. Oh, thank you. Oh, sir, I'm so, so sorry, but it's not valid today. Okay, I'll just use this card. No, see, what if I don't have the money? End scene. I guess I'm saying the alternative is you just pay for it. Yeah, I see. What if I don't have the money? End scene. I guess I'm saying the alternative

is you just pay for it. Yeah, no, no, no. But like, I think that, because in my mind. They just go, everyone, poor bitch in the house. She works here now and she'll have to stay for 10 years and do dishes and be enslaved. Yeah, like Cinderella.

We're going to bring the dishes out the front so everyone can see her. This gift card using bitch who turns up on a Saturday. Gift card using bitch. On a Saturday after five for a weekday only before three. Fuck this bitch. Clean those dishes. It's an early bird special. You're potatoes as well?

Fuck you. I think I speak for everybody that's ever used an entertainment book or a fucking coupon that you got from the thing. You don't eat where you want to eat. Right. You eat where the voucher's for. And so if I end up spending $920 at a restaurant, which has never fucking happened, but that's the number I just gave you.

If I spend that. It has happened. You weren't paying, but I have seen you go hard when someone who rhymes with schmodify goes, I will cover it. You go, oh, sorry, did I say risotto? What I meant was steak. I meant the Gisborne lobster.

I meant the Gisborne lobster. And 17 hot fashions. Yes, and I will do that. And I will get the sparkling. And you guys don't have a cab charge, do you? No, and I wouldn't get sparkling in that situation. I would get champagne. Yeah, sparkling wine.

No, but not sparkling wine. I would get champagne. Champagne from Champagne itself. Exactly. But you don't normally eat where you actually want to go because you go, oh, well, we'll just go there because I've got a voucher. And then you go, well, now I've got to pay for food

that I thought that I was just getting cheaper. If I knew I was paying, I would have gone where I wanted to go. I would have just gone where I wanted to go. Or stayed home. Yes. Yeah. Or used Uber Eats. Yeah.

So just to repeat, how to save money and be a good, I was about to say a C then, a good Carla Conti is get Tony a voucher. You don't have to actually pay for it. She thinks you're a good egg. Yeah. No, but no, because now people are going to do that. I'm going to go, I'm going to do it. I'm going to get Tony a voucher. You don't have to actually pay for it. She thinks you're a good egg. No, but no, because now people are going to do that. I'm going to go, I'm going to do it. I'm going to go use the voucher.

And they're going to go, someone's printed this on their laptop. This isn't a real voucher. Someone's made this in Photoshop. Second finance tip for the day. Does anyone else go what I'm going to call discount code phishing? PH? Phishing? Maybe.

You just guess a random discount code and you just throw it in there at the promo code at the end and just see if you get lucky. Tony Lodge. I do this. Have you got any go-tos? I do have some go-tos. So if I'm like, i've put a bunch of stuff in my car and then at the bottom it's like discount code i'll just like try a few normally try like welcome 20 hello 20 hello 10 yep um stuff like that i normally just like fucking give it a

bell what do you think the strike rate is it's pretty high and i actually got a text from sophie on the weekend um saying i tried this because um I talked about it the other week and she tried it. And Sophie, tell us, what was the outcome of you just fishing? And let everyone else know. Don't gatekeep. Yeah, save five bucks. Success. Five dollars.

Huge success. Where at? It was name of shop. I think it was like Primi or something. It was a clothes store. Primi. It was the name of shop, 10. Oh was like Primi or something. It was a clothes store. Primi. It was the name of shop, 10. Oh, that's a good one.

Yeah. That's not one I normally try. I normally do the hello and the welcome because it's normally just like the welcome thing for like signing up your newsletter. The other one that I do is I sign up to the newsletter in like a few different email addresses. Yeah, I've done that. Like, you know, because you go, fuck, that's worth it. Yeah.

Like Pippa's dog food is fucking, is pretty expensive. Doesn't she only have ocean-sauced salmon? Yes. Yeah. Not in a farm, ocean only. Ocean only. Free range. Yeah.

And caught. Caught. Yeah. And it's like fucking pretty expensive. And there's two places online that sell it. And we're on to our, we're on to the second shop, third email address. Yeah. Because they give you like a 5% or whatever.

Yeah. And then the other place that we've just found that sells it, they do like if you buy two bags, you save 5%. If you buy three bags, like buy and save. But it ends up working out per meal cheaper the more that you buy. It doesn't go off, right? No, no, no. So you just buy five bags, leave it in the cupboard.

Yeah. So the other one that she used to have, fucking Pippa Food Chat, it was like a fresh like log. Yeah. But then she didn't like that anymore and you can't keep it. But the one now is like freeze dried and you add water to it and that like softens it up. Do you reckon you can play them off against each other?

Because you know how Bunnings have like will beat any price so you get the discount and then you go back across the street and you go hey these guys they've got a cheaper yeah what do you reckon that's good now we're talking yeah look out look out i would like to know if anyone else's discount code fishing because i didn't they must be like when now i hear this i I go, oh, yeah, what a fun game. Yeah. But I just never, ever considered that. Yeah.

And it's genius. I love it. The other one that you can do is Google, like, influencer code blah shop. Do you know the only thing I've Googled and I've, like, code-wise and I've. The only thing I've ever Googled. Boobs.

I was about to say, hot girls in my area. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Domino's codes. Oh, no, you know what you've got to do? If you Google Pizza Hut, a Domino's code comes up. It's the top thing. It's like an SEO thing that they've- They've gamed the system.

Yeah, so if you Google Pizza Hut, A Domino's code comes up straight up Are you ready to back that in? Yes I am Do it right now So you've only ever Googled one thing Yep No just Pizza Hut Pizza Hut?

You said the... The beginning of the opening ceremony in Paris until Australia wins a gold medal. We don't know whether that's going to be an hour, 10 days, three minutes. We're not sure. I think the earliest it can be. Is like 25 hours. Yeah, something like that. Yeah.

Yeah. So not next weekend, the weekend after. Get around it. And last time. Are you sure? That's fucking, that's too close. Yeah, that's come up quick. I'm going to take my car for a fucking service tomorrow.

Thanks for the reminder. Oh, okay. Yeah. 9th of July. I've got to take it in. That's tomorrow. Anything else you need to. No, just, just everyone.

Can everyone remind me that? Cause like, you know, you, then you get the call and they go, Hey, are you still coming in? You go, Oh no. Yeah. No way. Nah. No, no possible way. Can I do it online? oh, nah. Fuck, yeah. No way. Nah. No possible way that that's going to happen.

No. Yeah. Yeah. I'll let you know tomorrow. Yeah. But last time people joined late. Yeah, and they didn't get to see very much. Get in early.

Because we won't be streaming for as long. Now, I said this before, but if you only want to join Patreon for one month for this and then fuck off, that's totally fine. You're allowed. So if you sign up now, it'll be within this month so you're all good and you can go through the whole back catalog of dcis and everything you can see everything oh but also i do believe that if you sign up for a year you get a little dissy you do get a dissy yeah and we're a big fan of disses on this show as we know as you know yeah and if you fucking type in hello20 at the fucking checkout, I'll know. Oh, actually, actually, no. I've got, yeah.

Someone wrote, I tried to use a discount code to get one of the livestream hats. The tap-a-thon hats, yes. And they said it didn't work. And I said, that's because we haven't had a code in about 18 months. Yeah. So I replied. I did reply to Nicholas who asked that. And I said, oh, yeah, it was like a really old perk of Patreon because we cycle through a lot

and we do different things. Yeah, so there's not a current discount code. But good on you for trying an old one. I respect the hustle. I respect the hustle, absolutely. And I reckon they probably tried like, you know, top 20, hello 20, welcome 10, you know, things like that. Boobs.

Yeah. Yeah, hot girls in my area, things that Ryan's you know, things like that. Boobs. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Hot girls in my area, things that Ryan's Googling. Domino's. Maybe we should put a Domino's code as our code. And people would Google Pizza Hut and then it says Tony and Ryan merch. They Google Pizza Hut. Then they go, oh, Domino's.

They click on that and it goes to our merch page. Yes. And it automatically adds it to the cart. You can just advertise it. You can just outbid Domino's on Pizza Hut. James, I think that you're missing the point is that we don't want to pay for it. Yeah, no. I want to get the money.

I don't want to give it away. Yes, yes. You've missed the money chat. You've got it around the wrong way. James missed the- The point. The thing about getting rich is like, yeah, I know how to get rich. You just give all your money away.

Yeah, I have heard that. Yeah. I've heard that that works. Now, I just need to get rich. You just give all your money away. Yeah, I have heard that. Yeah. I've heard that that works. Now, I just need to get on my high horse for a moment. Oh. I feel like a little bit of like middle-aged white guy talkback energy. Oh. We did just talk about discount codes.

Yeah, I know. So I think we're in the right area. I've got something fun to get to, but I just, you know how in talkback radio. Yeah. They always like start with an opening statement. Yes. You know, that kind of. Drop the bomb a bit. Is it a monologue or a, what do they call like start with an opening statement. Yes. You know, that kind of. Drop the bomb a bit.

Is it a monologue or a, what do they call it? Yeah. An editorial. Is it? I don't think that's the right word. Yeah. Anyway. I've got my editorial.

Okay. Can you give me like a white guy talkback radio sting? Here's Ryan John with the latest local opinion. Boomer ladies need to check themselves and get the fuck out of my daughter's face. Woo. My wife, Bridget. My wife.

It just hits every time. Yeah, but I'm doing an AM Talkback editorial. Oh, my God. Sorry, we're on 882. Sorry, I forgot. My wife. That's how they say it. Now, I'm about to say those words.

Yeah. And what's the likelihood that you're going to? Is high. Like me ordering Domino's after this. High likelihood. We've got a code ready to go. My wife, Bridget. Alright, no, I won't do it again.

Excuse me. Continue. My wife Bridget. No, see that? You just can't say it like that. My wife Bridget will be at the park, at the cafe, at the supermarket, and it always seems to be boomer ladies, they'll completely ignore Bridget and get right up into Mabel's face and go, give me a smile, show me a smile, where's your smile, give me a smile, where's your smile, give me a big smile, go and be a good girl,

give me a smile. It's like catcalling. It kind of is, but it's like, baby. It's fucked. And aren't we at a place now where like let's just not touch other people and let's not get in other people's face and just give people their space and let people live and fuck off? My daughter is not a dancing monkey at the zoo.

Fair. She's literally not. My wife isn't invisible either. You're allowed to say hi to her Before you get in her daughter's face. But like you said, this is the generation that coined the term stranger danger. These are people that lived and somehow survived through COVID. So maybe you, a stranger, doesn't want to put your germy face

in my daughter's germy face. Yeah. And tell her who she can and can't smile at. Just because my daughter can't talk back and say, hey, bitch, go fuck yourself. Or could you please give me some space? Or that. Yeah. Yep.

Yep. Either one. Either one. But yeah, kids aren't able to assert a boundary yet. They get right up in there. Yeah. Like a toy. Show me a smile.

Where's your smile? Come on. Be a good girl. Smile. Fuck there. Yeah. Like a toy. Show me your smile. Where's your smile? Come on, be a good girl. Smile. Fuck you. Yeah, that's fucking. Fuck off. It's so strange, eh? Yeah.

Because you know that old people, they don't like it when you get up in their face and say, whoa, when are you going to die? You know? They hate that in my experience. I bet. And if you do that to me in a fucking old joke, fuck you. No, no, no, I wouldn't. I wouldn't.

But I actually am completely on your side because it's the same when like whenever I've been out with any of my girlfriends that have been pregnant, like so when my sister was pregnant, even when I went out with Bridge a lot when she was pregnant and people just come right over and like touch your belly. It is so weird. Also, don't do that to me. Yes, okay.

Yeah, point taken. Sophie, you've like got a young son. Did that happen to you a lot while you were pregnant? I definitely was on guard and like death said anyone that I could sense was coming for the belly rub. The belly rub. In my experience, being in the stage of like asking, can I touch your belly? Like most of my friends would do that, ask for permission.

Oh, that's nice. And if anything. And strangers just, I kind of warn them to fuck off. What about the getting in your kid's face? Yeah. Yes. A lot of that. Check out people are really fun though like they because

there's space between you they always engage but i feel like that's fine that's fine but also you're interacting i'm fine with interacting yeah but uh at the cafes and stuff and they do ignore you they don't ignore you if you're a man with a child. No, you're a hero. You're a hero. It's actually hard for me to go with Mabel to a cafe and not come home with medals around my neck. Oh, that's fucked. And like I say that in jest. I think I've talked about this before.

We have, yeah. It's kind of fucked because the expectations for me are so low and then Bridget can do 99% of the parenting and just be battered and bruised from, you know, fighting a toddler all day and cooking and running the house. But also getting ignored out in public. Yeah, and then she gets nothing. Oh, she's just invisible now because she's got a baby with her.

Yeah, that sucks. All right, now that I've defended my daughter, let me tell you how fucked she is. Okay. Actually, first of all, Toni, are you like a spooner in bed? No. Yeah. No.

So you do the hippity-dippity, then you get into your own dooners in the bed and you're like, let me sleep. Yeah. I'm not a cuddler while for sleeping because I just, I like my space and I also just, that's the reason we have our own separate queen-sized dooners so that we can do our own thing. And then you've got a king-sized bed.

Yeah. Yeah. We're basically in different rooms. Even 12's in the same postcard. Yeah, it's literally like fucking we're far away. But it's great though because like it's the two of us, we've got our own doonas and then Pippa is in her own bed. In the middle.

Between us, like at the end of the bed. So it's great. So one of my love language, I'm a hugger, I'm a cuddler, I'm a spooner, I'm a nestler. I love it. And at the moment Mabel and dad are sleeping in the spare room

and Bridget's in the master because for some reason Mabel just wants to sleep with her dad at the moment that's nice and that's like take the cuddles yeah

and for me I'm like you know what actually fine I can cop that all good yeah if I have to snuggle a beautiful little baby

oh no she for some reason loves to get her head like in between like sort of in my Actually fine. I can cop that. All good. Yeah. If I have to snuggle a beautiful little baby, oh, no. She, for some reason, loves to get her head like in between like sort of in my – between my chin and my chest, like right up in there. Because she's got that little hole. It's perfect for a little face. It is. But surely having your face in a beard when you're sleeping would be the most annoying thing ever. Yeah.

But she seems to love it. The other night, Mabel has her head on the pillow next to mine like facing me from like cute centimeters away yeah and i'm asleep and she just like starts poking my face dabbing me in the face and i kind of wake up like what's going on? Yeah. And then she sneezed into my mouth. Because I went, oh, I'm like, like absorbed. So this has all happened in the matter of like a second after you've woken up. Sneezed into my mouth and goes, and then rolled over and just went straight back to sleep. And just left me with that. That is such a power move.

Right? So it's like, who's in charge here, actually? Oh, well, she's in charge. Yeah. And you need to know that. Yeah. And so I get on my high horse, back minutes ago when I was on the AM radio station, and she goes, yeah, I know you're a fucking middle-class white guy

with a microphone, but let me show you who's boss. Cop this.

Sorry. Did you hear that I got sneezed in the other night? Sophie did that while you were at work? No, Mabel. That's why I've got to make up for the sleep at work. Yes, of course. But waking up on a couch at work and you have no fucking idea where you are. Because I'm usually sleeping with Mabel. I'm like, has she fallen off?

Yeah. Oh, is she here? But any time I wake up, my first reaction is like. Where's Mabel? Have I? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And no, Sophie didn't sneeze in me. Well, I just thought, what's going on over here?

Well, after I've left, James has left, and you guys are just spooning on the couch. Sneezing at each other. Sneezing at each other. No, I think that she's definitely the boss and you just need to get around that. Okay. I've got a you love to see it here.

A bit of coincidence chat that really made me laugh and I think you'll hate it, which is just even better. Thomas Egan. That should be the slogan of our podcast. I love this because I knew you'd fucking hate it. And we both do that to each other, so it's perfect. Yeah, no, all good. Even Stevens.

Thomas sent this through and said, some shit coincidence chat for you. In a meeting at work, someone mentioned something happening on July 10th. Ooh. I said, oh, that's coincidence chat for you. In a meeting at work, someone mentioned something happening on July 10. Ooh. I said, oh, that's my sister's birthday. Sister, yeah. To which my co-worker replies, oh, that's my sister's birthday.

Were they brothers? Same sister. Then we all just stared at each other because. Who gives a fuck? Who cares? Yeah. It's good, isn't it? And then nothing happened.

Yeah. Thomas literally is like, no follow-up needed. It's shit. It sucks. Who cares? So is my sister. So, Thomas, is the event still happening? Or did it get cancelled?

Because too many sisters got birthdays that day, you know? Did I say July 10th? Yeah, so it's Wednesday. So let us know. Big fucking week. Yeah, huge week. Big fucking week. I've got the car service tomorrow.

Thomas has got his sister's birthday on Wednesday. And then who knows what will happen Thursday? Oh, my God. Should we do a coincidence chat again? Yes, please. I fucking love it. Let's get that back in the next week or so. That is a good coincidence chat.

You'll love to see it. Hi, Liam. Bittersweet, you'll love to see it.

Yeah. Liam's grandmother passed away about six or seven years ago and they were like pretty close. And the grandma said, I hope you go on to do your PhD because I believe you can make a difference in this world. Tony, the grandma's dead. Stop laughing. I'm so sorry.

I'm not laughing at the dead grandmother, obviously. You'd be laughing at the dead grandmother wishing her grandson a huge... Enjoy your PhD. Saying, grandson, I wish you got a pretty huge dick. I hope you get a pretty huge dick. In you or for yourself? Either. get a pretty huge dick. In you or for yourself?

Either. Well, today I was officially accepted into a doctoral program focusing on chemistry. Lucky I was able to share the good news with my grandfather, who's getting pretty old. But his response that he was very proud of me and that he knows my grandma would be there with bells on cheering me on. You love to see that. That's really beautiful. I can't wait to spend the next four to five years studying, hopefully successfully completing my doctorate so I can be a doctor just like Tony.

Oh, your grandmother would be so proud of the both of us. Yeah. Yeah. That's beautiful. It was great to be able to share the joy with my grandpa, who inspired me to be a chemist from a very young age. Oh, that's really beautiful. Oh, thank you so much for sharing that, Liam.

Good on you, Liam. That's fucking huge. PhD in chemistry. Fucking. Yeah. Leave some brain for the rest of us. Yeah. Yeah.
