Welcome to the podcast. My name is Ryan. I'm here with Dr. Arthur Tony Lodge and we are calling, I think this is the first time, we're calling South Africa. Is it the first time or have I said that five times already? No, see, I think we said that recently about Darwin and another person we'd called from Darwin got very territorial about them being the actual first one. So I didn't want you to throw anything around, but I think that South Africa, I think this might be our first one. Let's find out. Oh, interesting dial tone. Hello? Hello, is that Courtney? It is. It's Tony and Ryan. Can we just confirm, have you ever heard a South African tarpa approved before or do you think, like I do, that you're the first one?

I literally had to go back in my mind and think to myself, I definitely am the first, the one and only, the OG South African tarpa approver. The OG SA. Well, congratulations. Welcome. Welcome aboard. Well, congratulations. Welcome. Welcome aboard. Courtney, will you approve this podcast?

Absolutely. There we go. Hi, it's Courtney from Mshanga, South Africa, and I approve this incredible podcast. Yeah. All right, coming up on this episode, is it fair to say someone's been hustled? Someone's been hustled. And not in the way that you would think.

Like a new sneaky hustle? Is this advice for hustlers? A very specific type of hustler Okay Maybe Okay Alright well that's coming up soon But right now

I've got some advice For anyone Who wants to hook up With Tony Lodge Okay Well it's not an open invitation Isn't it? What

People Well if they I'm just saying If you want to put your best foot forward Hope Torbs is listening. Yeah. Well, he's going to struggle with this first one. And maybe it's his inability to do this first one that makes it even stronger.

And we've talked about this before. Yeah. Get really, really good at reverse parallel parking. You can do a mean reverse parallel park. You knew I was going to say that. I did, yeah. Yeah. And you just do it and you do this thing

where you put your hand on the passenger seat and you, like, roll the wheel with the power of your hand and you kind of, like, look back like this. It's all good. It's all good news. Yeah. It's all good news. I know that gets you going. It does. and every time you do it i go and i know that your wife bridget loves it as well it loves it as well yeah it's probably

how she got pregnant i reckon you did a reverse park and she went yeah let's reverse cowgirl sorry for saying that about your mother. That's the mother of my child. She's not born yet. It's all good. Well, you've got a week or so to get it all out. Get it all out. But you know what I mean? I feel like that might have been number one cause of pregnancy,

Ryan reverse parking. The day I figured that out, I was like, have you looked at your phone at a funny minute? You've got this weird little smile. And she's like, oh, was it me parking? And she goes. It's just the confidence that you do it with. So I want you, Tony Lodge.

Yep. My wife has already decided on a few of these. And I want you listening to this podcast to decide if this is a turn on or a turn off. Oh, okay. And is this Ryan John specific? This first one is something I did the other day. Oh, okay. And is this Ryan John specific? This first one is something I did the other day. Oh, okay. Yeah.

Yep. Last weekend, I had a ton, an actual ton of firewood dropped into the driveway. And I spent an afternoon splitting the wood with an axe and then stacking it all up in the garage and then next to the fireplace. So I was carrying this big stack of wood like through the house and I, um, when I dropped it next to the fire, I went to give Bridget a kiss and I went, Oh, actually, sorry, I won't. I'm, um, I'm a bit sweaty and a bit dirty and she went it's fine

Tony oh my god what's going on over at your place at the moment it's the loving nesting time we're expecting a child

the fire's on you know we've got our dream forever home the fire's going the lumberjack walks in does sound hot though how do you is that a bit of you yeah that's a bit it's probably i think a bit like the first one how you said because my partner torbs can't drive my like it's like when you see people out of there like you see them the same way all the time and then because i'm not a laboring guy no so i think it's probably just like seeing you a bit different you go oh yeah outside boy yeah yeah did you have to go to bunnings and buy that like splitter and stuff as well spl a splitter nice i got um like a poker poker i um i also got these like flame retardant gloves oh yeah so you could pop it in the fire

and i also got like a little dust pan and broom for the ash and the coal yeah nice keep it clean yeah um but i rocked up to the to bunnings and was like, where's the fire accessories? And they went, oof. Yeah. Just that way. And I was like, yeah. Nice. Yeah, that's nice.

Now, this one's not for me. And this is one I witnessed. Who's turning you on? Well, not this guy. Oh, okay. At the farmer's market. Yeah. This husband called his wife bro she goes i got these tomatoes you know the ones you like and he goes oh thanks bro and i went oh oh i don't know what that is but i don't like it how do you stand on bro

i say bro yeah so do i but do you say it to torbs i have said it to torbs yeah i'd probably though in my own defense i'd probably call torbs mate more than i like you know like at the end of phone call yeah love you mate all right love you mate do we say bro like you and i like kind of more ironically like we're not like finger gun like yo what's up bro like we're not cool guys we're just like i think that's probably how it started but now i think i say bro quite a lot except i think that i'd probably say bro more condescendingly than i would you know like what are you doing bro yeah that does feel familiar yeah you know do you know what time it is, bro? Yeah. Bro, what the fuck? Yeah.

You know, that feels like, rather than being like, love you, bro. No, I wouldn't say that. Yeah, see? I'd say love you, mate. But she said it in like a, like it was in a loving way. How do you think about these tomatoes? Yeah, great, bro. Oh, thanks, bro.

Nah, okay. Yeah, nah. I just, I say it, so I wanted to call myself out. I'd say Torbs and I call each other mate more often than anything. But you wouldn't say like mate like in the throes of passion. Oh, no. But you're not really saying anything, are you? No.

Not when your mouth's full. All right, I've got two more quick ones. All right. Shit tats. Om. Turn om. Does Torbs have tats. Om. Turn om. Yeah. Does Torbs have tats? Nah, he doesn't. Little clean skin boy. I wish. I just love him.

The shit of the better. I'm a real You're Pete Davidson fan. Pete Davidson. You're a sucker for a shit tat. I am. And finally wearing crocs. I'm Natalie Imbruglia on Crocs. Yeah?

How so? I've added them to my cart probably about five times. And I haven't gone through. Same. I'm too scared. I'm too scared. I don't really... So I wear like a lot of black and a lot of white like plain primary black

white and gray that's kind of like all i really rock but i don't think you can get a black white or gray croc like a black crocs look like a chef is wearing them yeah you know what i mean and that's not really the right vibe for me looks like you work at a seafood thing. Yes. Yes, it does. A fish market. Fish market. When I was a fishmonger, I used to wear gumboots. Is there a colour that's not bright? Because I don't want a bright colour. But like, maybe say like my jacket.

Oh, like an olive green, khaki kind of colour. So it's a colour, but it's not a fluoro. Because I know what you mean. You're not a bright pink croc. No. You're not a bright pink croc. No. You're not a yellow with spark or croc. And I think that the black croc is, yeah, it's too chef-y. Do you know what I do love about crocs, though?

I love the little things you can get for them. The little giblets. Oh, the giblets. Yeah, the giblets, yeah. Yeah. I love them. I think they're really fun. Remember last week when we talked about the wedding vape?

Yeah. Oh, did I send that to you? The the wedding vape? Yeah. Oh, did I send that to you? The rhinestone vape, yes. But did I send you the... The photo? Of the Crocs. Oh, the wedding Crocs. Crocs.

Yes, yes, yes. With the wedding giblets. And they said like wifey on them with the giblets on it. Yeah, it wasn't great. That's not great. I probably wouldn't do a wedding Croc. Would you get the giblets but without the crocs and just stick them into your sneaks?

The side where the laces go? We've talked about giblets a lot, but I didn't realise you hadn't. You're so pro giblet, but you can't have one without the other. But I don't have crocs, yeah. Maybe in today's episode thread, people could share what colour would be a good croc on me. Have you seen the platform crocs? They've got like a platform on them.

I've seen a heel croc as well. Yeah. The Balenciaga ones with the heel on the back. All right. Should I do a croc? In the episode thread, let us know the color. That I should get. Whether Tony should do it.

And also, I mean, I'm asking a lot of you today. I want to know like something that's like probably isn't designed to be a turn on such as splitting wood or reversing a car but maybe it just really gets you going something out of the ordinary yeah yeah well i guess it's not yeah not designed to be a turn on yeah it's like an everyday task yeah oh sorry i'm thinking about all the things that my boyfriend does Yeah, not designed to be a turn-on. Yeah, it's like an everyday task. Yeah. Oh, sorry. I'm thinking about all the things that my boyfriend does. What do tobs do?

He does really thoughtful stuff. Like whenever he's at the shops, if like a week earlier I've said, oh, I think I might need shampoo soon or something. He'll always go, oh, and you said that you wanted this last week, so I grabbed it. Like he's really thoughtful like that. Yeah, that is nice. I like that. I do like that.

So it's less sexy than the reverse park, but maybe more helpful at home. Yeah. Sure, sure. Sure, sure. Hi, it's Courtney from South Africa, and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. Yeah. A massive shout out to a few of our crock loving Patreons. Shout out. Will Johnston, thank you very much.

Jamie Neald, Emma Welch, Mary G Clarkson. Do you reckon Mary G Clarkson is related to Kelly Clarkson? I thought she was going to be related to Mary J Blige. Nice. Mary G Blige and Kyle Webb. Sisters can't be named the same name. Oh, Mary. No, Mary.

Mary G or Mary J? Mary G, Mary J. Can you imagine though if there was two kids and they were named the same? Did your mum... Oh, there's only one of you. Gone. Sorry. Ask the question and I'll...

Did your mum go like, Libby, Hayley, Jamie, Tony! Like she would just get so angry. I'm like, well, I'm not the one who had fucking four kids. Yeah. Is that my fault? Yeah. No, I didn't have that problem. No, because you're an only child.

Yeah. The adoption process couldn't go through. Yeah, although my nana had two grandkids and she always goes mixed up, me and Mitch on the other side. Mitch, Ryan, you know. Yeah, but we wouldn't be yelling. We wouldn't be like, oh, so I was hanging out with Ryan the other day, and I'd go, that was me.

And she goes, oh, no, I was hanging out with Mitchell. Yeah. Oh, it's not that she would yell. She would just scroll through all the names and then get so frustrated that she hadn't gotten it right yet. Yeah, so she'd yell and then forget. so it wasn't like oh tony it was like which one are you like she'd get to the end which one are you just a bit of fun yeah yeah you know yeah anyway i'm the good one mom yeah yeah i'm your favorite so the best till last, obviously.

Obviously. I am not a homeowner. I don't own a home. I live in an apartment building. I'm just renting at the moment. But would it be fair to say that homeowners kind of look out for each other? Yeah, there's sort of a camaraderie. I know what you're going through.

Like, especially out where you are in the burbs. Yeah. You know, when you're talking about, you know, I don't know, chopping the wood out the front, are you kind of like, oh, g'day, Joe. You know, like, is there a bit of that? The hat tips and nods I got from people walking, because I was in the driveway. Yeah.

So people walk apart and they've got a fire bell so that they know. And they're sort of like, oh. that time of year again you know comes winter comes around every year who would have guessed it yeah so i feel like it's like a homeowner thing but like neighbors or like when you're in the area and you go oh like i've seen a moving truck out the front of there i know they're moving in moving out when we moved in we got like biscuits and like little notes someone dropped a bottle of wine and said welcome to the neighborhood and bridget went well that's shit throw it out no of course not she knows all about wine so she's like yeah she gifted it she went this will be great thank you um you know he's really yeah and then this guy from down the road that deserved a bigger laugh fuck she's good um

this guy from down the road broughtought his dog over And was like Oh, just in case our dogs Run into each other It'd be nice for them to meet And they were a little brown Labrador That's really nice Yeah, no, lovely That is really nice

Yeah, so there's a lot of camaraderie In the burbs with us homeowners Yeah, and it's kind of like You know, lads in their lawn Lads in their log chopping You know, that kind of thing Have you seen my lawn recently? No, I haven't

Fuck I'll send you a photo Is it nice? Yeah Well, I'd love to see it because I'm in Lawn Town. Oh. So my best friends, Jag and Lane, they live in New Zealand. They recently got married, which is very exciting.

They also just bought a house. Oh, well done. Yeah. So they bought this house and they were kind of waiting for it to be like finished being built or whatever. Yeah. And then they, you know how they kind of like settlement period of it being like. Yeah, it's always a legal fuss.

Yeah, you've like bought it, but you haven't moved in yet. Yeah, the bank needs to sign off and the lawyers need to sign off. And it's in like a new estate type of area. So I'm guessing that there was a bit of a hold up with like getting gas connected and all of you know all of that stuff um so they were really excited and they at their like lock up they did like a walking zoom tour like with torbs and i because obviously we can't go and see the house at the moment um because they're in auckland yep um and so they're really excited and we're really proud of them it's very very cool and um they're like oh and we're really proud of them. It's very, very cool. And, um, they're like, oh, the whole house is epic.

Like really want to show you. And we're really pumped because they've got this like big backyard and they took us out the back and I was like, oh, you guys will be able to have like a massive barbecue. They've both got nieces and nephews. So they'll be, you know, have the kids around and whatever. I was like, fuck, that's so awesome. They go, yeah, but like the lawn's pretty crook, like needs a little bit of love. Right. Okay. And I was like, oh, that's so awesome. They go, yeah, but like the lawn's pretty crook, like needs a little bit of love. Right, okay.

And I was like, oh, no, it looks right. And they're like, oh, it's a bit, like some of it's okay. Like there's chunks of like good green lawn, but then it's like a bit sandy. You know, it's just, it's not really ideal. Anyway, so like two weeks later or whatever, it's move-in day. And Jag and Lane are there. And they're like, both of their families are there. You know, when it's move-in day yeah and jag and lane are there and they're like both of their families there you know when it's kind of like a working day yeah and so they've

you know everyone's got stuff in their car and there's all these cars out the front and everything's happened and isn't it funny right that like on when you're moving it's like crime doesn't exist no like the front door's open, the back door's open, the cars are all open, all your shit's on the front lawn, and you just go, well, no, I'm just going to do it again. No, I'm going to fucking steal it. Yeah, just chuck it out the front, put it there, close the – we don't have a gate.

Right. Back fence is down because we need to move the thing through. Yeah, because, you know, I'm like, oh, yeah, there's just – people walking past and people go, well, they're moving, so that's actually not okay. Can I set you a challenge? What? Steal something?

Yeah, if you wore the right clothes on this Saturday, because Saturday is like a kind of moving day, right? Absolutely. Whenever you see a removaling truck. Removaling. Removal. Removal. Truck.

Removalist. Just follow them in and just walk in your high-vis. Go, get out, guys. How you doing? And just pick up the TV and leave. Oh, okay. Don't set anyone that challenge because that's awful. I'm obviously also not going to do that, but you absolutely could. Wow, could you?

We would never know unless you do the challenge. It's the same as getting in backstage to a concert. If you're wearing all black, they'll let you through. Yeah. Like, the amount of times that I've done that. You just walk through? Yeah. Yeah, after confidence.

If you're wearing blacks and Doc Martens, there's no way that they aren't going to let you through? Yeah. Yeah, act of confidence. If you're wearing blacks and Doc Martens, there's no way that they aren't going to let you through. Like, there's just no way. When I was young, my mate, like after midnight,

it's really hard to get into this club because it's full. Yeah. Right? So there's a bit of a line out the front. So you're waiting

for people to stumble out to get in. Yeah. And so he gets there late and he goes, oh, the line's really long and he was a muso. Tom Wood.

Oh, yeah. And he's got the guitar and he just walked up to the front and goes, I'm with the band. With his guitar. And they would have gone, yeah, bro, straight in. They don't have bands there. Oh. It was like a DJ.

But the security guard goes, oh, okay. It's actually foolproof. So a minute later after he goes, oh, it's a long line, he's in a club holding a guitar. I was like, what happened? He's like, don't worry about it. Let's get a DJ. But I'm in here. I'm in. He goes to the coat holding a guitar. I was like, what happened? He's like, don't worry about it. Let's get a drink.

I mean, he goes to the coat check and he goes, do you mind hanging on to this? Is that okay? Do you take guitars? But so everybody's like out on the lawn, they're fairing shit in and out. They're all kind of like out the front. And this guy pulls up in a landscaping truck.

You know, those like big flatbed utes kind of thing. And he's obviously got like the logo with a tree on it on the side of the door or whatever. And he kind of says like, oh, g'day, like welcome to the neighborhood. And Jack walks over because he's, you know, man of the house. Yeah. He's got that vibe. Yeah. That pride.

He's so proud of just like having saved up, like he and Lane saved up all their money, bought this house. And he walks over and he goes, oh, hey hey dude like whereabouts do you kind of live whatever hey how are you and the guy goes oh i don't live here but like i'm a landscaper and i did a few of the properties around here yeah and jack goes oh yeah and he goes yes well i know the area real well. Yeah. And he goes, how's your grass looking out the back, mate? And Jack goes, oh, actually,

like, not too hot. Like, it's looking pretty fine. Was this the landscaper that did it originally? Well, he just said, I did a bunch of the houses around here. So obviously knew that,

I don't know, maybe the soil wasn't very good quality. Yeah. I don't know. Or sometimes you need a certain type of grass for a certain type of area. Exactly, right? Or if i don't know or sometimes you need a certain type of grass for a certain type of area exactly right or if it's like more sandy you need less water or

if it's whatever yeah um how's your grass looking mate and jay goes oh you're not great and he goes let me have a look for you oh like i know the area let me fucking give it a gander and a bit of tradie energy yeah ladsie local of lads-y local neighbour. Right. And so he parks his landscaping truck, like, across the road. Yeah. And then walks through the house. Yeah. And, like, of course, both families are there.

Yeah. So he meets Jag's mum and dad, meets Lane's mum and dad. Look at that, folks. Yeah, I'm sharing the bugs of my neighbourhood. Her sister, like, Jag's brother, you know, like, Jag's nephew. Like, just everyone's there. He meets the whole family. Great.

Walks through the house and, you know, Jag's mum says, oh, did you want a lemonade? Like I'm just making up some, you know, like it's this beautiful moment for their family. Walks through, goes out the back and goes, oh, fuck, mate, that's not ideal, eh? That's not looking good. Look, I like you.

I think you're a really nice guy. I say it's your first home, mate. We want it to be perfect for you. I shouldn't be telling you this. First red flag. But if I was in this position, I'd want someone to help me out. That's a good line. Yeah, isn't it?

The guys who are doing houses around here would charge you crazy amounts, mate. Probably cost you $1,200. I can do this for you for $400. It's a hell of a deal. He goes, I can buy all the grass. I'm guessing. You know how it's like, not what you say, but what you say? I'm guessing that because he was still working on houses in the neighbourhood.

He goes, oh, well, we'll just put a few more rolls on, like, at cost. He'll do this cash job for Jag. Yeah. Well, when you're buying 100 rolls, the price of getting 103. Yeah. Right? Yeah. And he goes, cool.

And instead of the $1,200, I'll charge you $400, mate. We'll roll it out, done in half a day. And like, you know, they fell off the back of a truck that's kind of you know that vibe and jack goes fuck that sounds awesome the whole family's there they're all so excited i can't believe it and he goes look mate all you got to do is you got to go down to bunnings by xyz thing kill all this grass and then... Okay, hang on. Alright, yeah, yeah. You've just got to kill all these off.

You kill it off and I'll put the good shit in. I'll come round and prep it and I'll put the new stuff in. I'm not killing anything until I see you ready to go with the... So they... They exchange phone numbers. What was his number?

Seven? He goes, no, mate, I'm like, I think Jack gave him his number and then he called him. So it's like the legit number. Yeah, it's hard to give a fake number and someone does that. And they go, oh, I forgot the eight numbers. Oh, sorry. Yeah.

Oh, it starts with a one actually or whatever. They exchange numbers and the guy goes, I'll text you right now like the stuff you need to buy to kill it off. And he goes, you find it at Bunnings so easy. He texts him so it's like the real number and stuff. Yeah. Jack goes to Bunnings, buys all

the stuff, kills all the grass, texts the guy. Hey mate, like, how's this looking sends you a pic nothing and i'm guessing the dead grass is better than the not great grass you know suddenly the grass we had wasn't actually that bad oh yeah because there was like patches of lawn but now it's like the fucking savannah no sahara yeah it's just like there's a giraffe out there it's like the fucking desert there's nothing there's prickly dead fucking white grass and nothing anyway so jaguars fuck it's been a couple of times has he paid him

no so that's the thing right so where's the hustle come in well so this guy walks into the house, goes, kill all that. I'll take care of the rest. And then ghosted him. So the crazy thing is this guy, right? This fuckhead in the land. He's a genius. He actually gets nothing out of this. Yeah, it's not a hustle at all.

He didn't get any money. He literally just pulled a prank on him. Was it April Fool's? Was it three weeks ago? And so Jag texts him again. Nothing. Do you call him? He's calling him.

He's texting him. He's going, hey, bro, just wondering. McGrath's dead. You said you could sort this out. If the guy has to jump off a cliff would you tony has fucking lost the guy hasn't even like ripped him off he's gained zero. I'd say this is not a hustle because he has not got anything out of it.

That's it. Like, if he went, look, I'll do a $400 for you, mate. Give me the cash today and I'll organise it. Then you go, fuck, you've been ripped off. That really sucks. He's rolled me $400. Yeah. But instead, all he did was pay $40 to Bunnings to buy this poison.

Actually, I've got some theories. Yeah, okay. I'd love to hear them. Theory one. bunnies to buy this poison and kill all of this grass. I've got some theories. Yeah, okay, I'd love to hear them. Theory one, he works for the poison company. It's a start-up. He's like, get this specific one. Trust me, get that stuff. That'll kill your grass right up. Option two, he works for a

paved courtyard company. And he's hoping that he goes, well, your grass is dead. Did you want to give them a call? Well, then he Googles, oh, yeah, I might just get a courtyard and say, fuck this grass off. And then this guy looking really similar, but he goes, oh, it's his brother.

He's just got a blue hat on today instead of the red hat he was wearing last week. Isn't that just the, like, literally gets nothing out of it. It's actually just to fuck with someone. I mean, is he fucking with him? Or has he just got lazy or forgot about it or got busy? I mean, he was going to make money out of it. $400 wouldn't cost you the material.

Maybe he underquoted and then regretted it. Then his business partner was like, man, we've got a fucking big job on. Well, I mean, he kind of made it seem as though he was going to steal the grass anyway and take the cash for himself, do a little cashy, take the water and go out for dinner. Maybe he got arrested stealing the grass.

Well, so I wonder, yeah, if maybe the place he was working. The Popo's caught up with him. This doesn't sound like his first time. Well, yeah. I mean, he's just preying on innocent moverinners, first-time buyers. But isn't that just like literally he's ghosting. He hasn't heard anything. Do you reckon he was the

original landscaper and so he goes i'm gonna charge the building company to a shit job and then i can recharge the new person moving in see that makes sense if you follow through yeah yep so now they've just got all this because they go well we just bought a house we can't like afford to fix that you don't have spec ash when you bought a house yeah so they go, well, we just bought a house. We can't like afford to fix that right now. Oh, you don't have spare cash when you bought a house. Yeah, fuck no. So they go, well, we won't do it. We'll just leave it for now. Well, you know, it'll sort itself.

We're about to go into winter anyway. So we'll, you know, fix it up. And literally they wouldn't have done anything and it would have been like livable. How much do you spend on poison? 40 bucks or something. That's 40 bucks you didn't, you had yesterday. I mean, could have spent that on Subway.

How much are you spending at Subway? You've lost touch with the common man. Yeah, sorry. Fuck, that's good. Isn't that just the most ridiculous thing ever? That is fantastic. I've got to get up to see it. And...

Alright. It's officially turned from like summer to winter, right? Oh, it's so chilly at home at the moment. Yeah, and there was some gross hot summer days. And so my love to sea was like just the turn of the season because I also like, and I think you are as well, we're both like jacket guys. We like a coat.

We like a jacket. I like a knitted sweat. Yep. And you obviously can't really do that in summer so it's sort of nice however this is just like some self-awareness i guess is do you just like is it like the grass is always greener will it get to like august september and i go oh i'm such a summer guy i can't wait till summer yeah it just happens to me every year yeah this then summer goes away and it's been really hot and i go oh i can't wait for it to be cold and then it's cold and i go oh well i can't go to the beach or like oh it's too

cold to go swimming or whatever yeah and then i go oh i really miss that i think i'm an autumn guy because it's kind of warming up no sorry spring guy yeah because it's kind of warming up but it's not too hot yet you can still wear cool clothes. But it starts to lighten up in the morning and in the afternoon. Because you know how it's like really dark during winter? Yeah. Dark and stormy. Yeah, I don't like that. Do you like a dark and stormy cocktail?

Yeah, because I like ginger and all of the things in it. Yeah. All right, I'm going to put it on the record. Yeah. I prefer winter and I'm glad it's getting colder. Yeah.

a passing comment don't write that down what's what's that if not that? Just to pass some comments. Okay. My Love To See It is from Marie Bean in our Facebook group. Marie says, My Love To See It, I graduated high school as class of 2021. So not last year, the year before. And because of COVID, both my junior and senior year prom were cancelled. Of course. I bought a dress and everything. Isn't that sucks?

Isn't that sucks? Fucking hell. This year my... You're just rattled from the hustle. Yeah, I am. You know what will fix that? What? Yeah.

Mate, I can help you out with that. Put some poison in your mouth and I'll come back with this other stuff. Yeah, hospitals want to charge you $1,200. I can do it for $400. I can do it for $400. It's cash. This year my younger cousin graduates high school

and invited me to go to her prom with her so that I could finally go to a prom. And, like, wear my dress and stuff. An unworn dress is a crime. That's beautiful. Poetic. Thank you. I didn't go to my ball.

Neither did I. Yeah. Why not? The boy that I really wanted to go with couldn't go with me. Like he was busy that night. Well, he said. No. Hustle.

Actually, Newfound Glory were playing that night and he was like, I'd rather go and see Newfound Glory than go to your ball, which is fair enough. That's fair, because Newfound Glory are incredible. Did you go to your graduation kind of night? I did go to that because I was singing. Yeah, okay. And what about your graduation night of WAPA when you became an engineer? No, I'd already moved away.

Yeah. Yeah, so I didn't get to go to the certificate thing, the mortarboard thing. The hat, yeah. What's a mortarboard? That's what the hat's called. The hat's called. Graduation hat with the tassel on it. You've never worn any? Yeah.

No, but I didn't go to my ball. I kind of, I don't regret not going, but I'm kind of bummed that I missed it, I guess. Is that the same thing? No, I don't think so. Okay. I don't think they're the same. Do you regret not going to your ball? Why did you not go?

Because you didn't want to, like against the man kind of thing? Mine was probably more against the man. Nah, not against the man. Just probably, just nah. I don't know. I feel like the dress would be fun. Like wearing the dress would be fun. I think I had volleyball training on the night of our valedictorian dinner.

What's valedictorian? Is that? It's like into high school and they're like, here's the ducks, here's the high achievement in this. Oh, yeah. Like awards night. Yeah, it's a little more formal and you get your thing like you have passed high school with a.

Oh, sure. I didn't go to that. I didn't. And mum was really annoyed that I didn't go to any of my university graduations because she was like, I've supported you. All I want to do is sit there and clap. Oh, that's nice. My mum was dead by the time I graduated university.

Yeah. Well, my mum said she wished she was dead because what was the point of raising me if she couldn't go to graduation? That's what your mum said? Yep. Your mum said I wished I was dead? Yeah. Really? Yep. Okay. You can call and ask her. Yeah, I'll call her in six months

when I'm fucking lighting you up about liking summer again. Thank you very much for listening. We'll be back tomorrow. It's Thursday. Oh. What?

No, don't. Tomorrow? Mm-hmm. I'm going to change your life, Tony Lodge. I've fucking heard that before. Nah.

I and everyone else, you're fucking welcome. We're about, and I know we're not an inspo podcast. We're certainly not a fitness podcast. But if you listen to tomorrow's episode, you will be better off health wise. The easiest way to get into shape. Okay.

Oh, sorry. Yeah, I'm a doctor. Yeah. Tony's a doctor. Have you read her blog? Yeah. Thank you. It's very good.
