Celine Understood. Available wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Acast helps creators launch, grow and monetize their podcasts everywhere. Acast.com. Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Arthur Tony Lodge. How are you doing, Tony? I'm great. Thank you. How are you?
Starting point is 00:01:00 My compadre. Were you just laughing at me? No, I wasn't laughing at you at all. We are calling Abigail, who has been studying at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. I know where Albuquerque is, but only because of Breaking Bad. Yeah. Do you ever make it that all the time? Yeah. And I'm really, please don't tell Abigail I said that because she'll hate that.
Starting point is 00:01:17 Okay. You're going to say it, aren't you? Probably. Yeah. Might give it a bell. Classic. I love saying give it a bell. Do you?
Starting point is 00:01:27 Yeah. Whenever I take people for a walk, I say taking people for a bell. Abigail! Hi Abigail! How you doing? I'm doing well. How are you guys? We're even better now we're talking to you Abigail.
Starting point is 00:01:36 Now don't listen to anything that Ryan says. Abigail, I just want you to know that Tony referenced Breaking Bad and you've probably never ever heard that before since living in Albuquerque. I actually haven't. And I've never even seen it. Abigail, how old are you? I am 20. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Too young. Too young. Whoa, that's that fucking stinks. That's huge news. Well, you're about to graduate university at 20 years old. So I don't want to know how smart you are because that's just fucking embarrassing for the rest of us. But what are you graduating in?
Starting point is 00:02:09 What are you been studying? Well, it's just fine arts. So it's not like nearly anything fancy. So how dare you? Don't you dare talk down. It is not just that. It is the- I'm not an engineer like Tony.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Yeah. Well, we can't all be changing the world Abigail and that's okay. Yeah. Uh, fine arts and Tony has a fine ass and you guys can just be great friends. And Ryan's got some fine farts. So we're all doing well. It's been so nice and wholesome. You have to drag it back down.
Starting point is 00:02:38 That's a shame. Uh, Abigail, will you approve today's podcast? I absolutely will approve today's podcast. Thank you so much. Hi, this is Abigail from Albuquerque and I approve this podcast. On today's episode, the reason why Tony Lodge will never be allowed to be a tour guide of Melbourne. She's been sending our city down the river.
Starting point is 00:03:14 The Yarra River, which I know what it's called. Making up lies, spreading vicious rumours and inaccuracies about our town. I did some fake news. We'll get to that soon. Here at Tarp Tower, if someone says they are Natalie and Brulia, it means they are- Torn. Because- Natalie and Brulia did a cover of the song Torn. Yes, we know it's a cover.
Starting point is 00:03:37 And yes, we know that the word homeowner has meow in it. Don't need to send that one through. Sarah Khan says, I thought- What'd you call her? Sorry, Sarah. Sarah Goodperson said she thought it was like a double act. Like it was Natalie and Brulia. I have had people say that before. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Natalie and Brulia. No, Natalie and Brulia, the Australian singer. Yeah. She, oh, I'mia, the Australian singer. Yep. She, oh, what can't she do? I mean, that song is just amazing. Your favorite song.
Starting point is 00:04:14 It's my favorite song. And whenever people are like, oh, it's so funny that you've said it's your favorite song for such a long time. It's my favorite song. Favorite songs don't change like the fucking weather. And I obviously go through phases where like, oh, I've got a new fave or I'm listening to something heaps, but my default answer when anybody ever asks me what my favorite song is, I always say Torn by Natalie and Brulia.
Starting point is 00:04:35 If I have to pick a song for something, I pick Torn by Natalie and Brulia. I, because I'm, we were just talking about this before we started. Um, mine is. Shower by Becky G. It's the greatest pop song. Singing in the shower. The greatest pop song ever written. La dee la da da la da da.
Starting point is 00:04:55 It's Ryan's get up and go song. It's shower by Becky G. Which like Natalie and Verulia's Tom will probably go down in the history books. I think you've just got to have a song like that ready to go for when you're in a situation where someone might ask you an icebreaker question. Oh, okay. I thought you were going to say when you need a pump up and you're down, you just look to Becky G and she'll lift you back up.
Starting point is 00:05:19 I mean, Torn probably wouldn't be my pump up song. Yeah, cool. But I think that in the situation of someone being like, and Tony, what's your favorite song? I need to have something ready to go. Because that can, the questions like that will catch you on the spot. They do. So you have to have one ready to go. Today on the show though, a guide to using celebrity names instead of real sentences. Oh, so like using them as a verb or a noun. Like when you are torn and you can't decide you are.
Starting point is 00:05:46 I say I'm Natalie Imbrulia. When you're having a Barry Crocker. This is the Australian edition by the way. Barry Crocker. Are you joking? Do you mean Betty Crocker? You're baking? No.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Who's Barry Crocker? You can leave your hat on. Is that that? I don't know if that's Barry Crocker, You can leave your head on. Is that that? I don't know if that's Barry Crocker, but it's definitely the era. I love that song. Apparently. An Australian gold logy winning character actor and singer. I don't know if he sang that song though.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Oh no. I dare say he's done a cover of it in an RSL somewhere. Oh, that's Joe Cocker? Oh no. I dare say he's done a cover of it in an RSL somewhere. Oh, that's Joe Cocker? Close. Close. So close. All right.
Starting point is 00:06:32 If you're Barry Crocker, I don't know, you're an old gold logy winner. It means you're having a shocker. Oh, so that's like- How's your day going, mate? I'm having a Barry Crocker. Okay. So that's more like Cockney rhyming slang energy.? I'm having a Barry Crocker. OK, so that's more like crock cockney rhyming slang energy. Like I'm having a pine horse.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Yeah, which means. I know I'm having a. Oh, no, let's not. Pine horse is like a pine. I don't know. I'm having a dog's iron horse. That's I'm having a pine source. I don't know if we want to go down this path, because I remember a few YouTube episodes ago, a lot of people were talking about
Starting point is 00:07:06 how you didn't understand the game of the compound words. I think we did one game at a time. If someone says I'll have to MacGyver it. Have to like figure it out on the spot. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's good. I think that's good.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Yeah. You ever watched MacGyver? I loved the original MacGyver. I've never watched it. It was, oh mate. It is the bit, you're like, well, this is the episode where he doesn't get out of it. But guess what?
Starting point is 00:07:32 He always does. He fucking MacGyvers it and he gets it done. The only reason I know what MacGyver is, or like the concept of what the show was, is because Patty and Selma on The Simpsons always like had to get home to watch MacGyver. And I didn't agree with concept of what the show was is because Patty and Selma on the Simpsons always like had to get home to watch MacGyver. And I didn't agree with much of what Patty and Selma had going on. But that I do agree with.
Starting point is 00:07:53 It used to be 7.30 on a Friday night, probably when I was seven. And I couldn't even tell you what MacGyver's job was, but I knew that's what I wanted to do. Yeah. Never seen it. Only know the concept. I think there's a new version that just is obviously shit. Oh, they just fucking make new versions of shit all the time.
Starting point is 00:08:09 Now this is Australian only, but how'd you end up with that? Oh, well, sort of Stephen Bradbury'd it. Oh, came through at the last second. Like an absolute, like, oh, a runaway win, but like a surprise. Surprise. Stole it. Stole it, yeah. Stole the win.
Starting point is 00:08:26 So Stephen Bradbury, you've probably all seen the viral clip. Australia's- You know when he does that? Australia's only at the time gold medal winning Winter Olympian. Speed skater. Everyone else falls over. He's coming dead last. By almost a lap.
Starting point is 00:08:41 They all stack it and he just cruises through and wins gold. Yeah, but literally his face at the end is, oh, and he's like looking around at the crowd. He's like, did you guys see that? Did that just happen? And he was a spokesperson for a paint brush company for a long time. And he said these paint brushes, because it's the finish that counts. It is the finish that counts. Isn't that good?
Starting point is 00:09:02 That is good. So when I, I played volleyball for Australia in Serbia, very huge. Congratulations. At the same time, I don't think we talk enough about your championship volleyball. But here's the thing. So that was the world university ad, whatever. It was at the same time as like the Asian cup qualifiers. So like a lot of good players were at the Asian cup qualifiers,
Starting point is 00:09:27 which meant a lot of me and fellow Stephen Bradbury has got into this team in Serbia because the other guys were busy doing the other thing. Oh, wow. Which I think is like a bit of Stephen, like it's sort of by default, everyone else has fallen over and unavailable. That guy did his ankle. Who else is there? Ryan? Yep. Here we fucking go.
Starting point is 00:09:48 I'll do it. Let's go. Let's fucking go. So if someone says I've Stephen Babri'd it, what does that mean? I'd say people have stumbled before you. Yeah. Or unavailable. Like a shock win. A very surprising turn of events has allowed this to happen.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Yeah. I like that. And cause what an Australian hero. Yeah. Charlotte says, I was getting coffee and my colleague ordered a Kevin Hart, which he says is a short black. Oh my God. Charlotte says, I don't know how to feel about that. And neither did the barista who she asked. So Charlotte's fucking colleague did that. They walked down to the cafe downstairs and she just goes, yeah, I was going to Kevin Hart and the barista's like, no, okay. And she was just like, and everyone else was like, I don't know if that's like. No, not okay. Jessica Kirkland says, when me and my friends, you know, if one of us is having like a,
Starting point is 00:10:45 When me and my friends, you know, if one of us is having like a, a meltdown level bad day. No, no, that's so nasty. I know what you're going to say. A Britney Spears in 07. I knew it was coming. No, she was really going through it. You guys. Yeah. She was. No, I won't allow it. Uh, Leosa says I'm Scottish and when it's hot, I say I'm having a Melton John. That's fun. That's fun. That's fine. I'll pay that one.
Starting point is 00:11:08 That's fun. Um, and Brianna, they're always Brianna's. Here we go. You know, like, and it's just occurred to me that a lot of these aren't nice. They're not nice at all. And I, um. You know, like you see like a guy from across the bar and he's like a good looking fellow, but like when you get up close, they're like not as quiet, as good looking as when
Starting point is 00:11:30 they were thinking. So Brianna says we call these blokes bet Middlers cause they're great from a distance. I don't get the joke though. She sang a song called From a Distance. Oh, from a distance. I don't know the song. I have heard the same, a different term for that. A mo-nay, like from distance is great, but up close you're like, oh,
Starting point is 00:12:00 that's a bit, a lot going on. I've never said it. It was in the movie Clueless. But Melton John and I, I've got one to bring it back. Maybe. Yeah. My son has been teething and my friend said he was a bit drooly Andrews.
Starting point is 00:12:20 That is good. That is good. That's a nice one. That is good. That's a nice one. That's a nice one. So let's finish it there and move on with our lives and forget every, every thing ever happened again. All of a sudden me being bad at games isn't the problem anymore. Hi, this is Abigail from Albuquerque and you're listening to Tony and Ryan.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Acast powers the world's best podcasts. Here's a show that we recommend. Céline Dion. My dream to be an international star. Could it happen again? Could Céline Dion happen again? I'm Thomas LeBlanc and Céline Understood is a four-part series from CBC podcasts and CBC News, where I pieced together the surprising circumstances that helped manufacture Celine
Starting point is 00:13:13 Dion, the pop icon. Celine Understood, available wherever you get your podcasts. podcasts. Acast helps creators launch, grow and monetize their podcasts everywhere. Acast.com. I'm as you shout out to a few of our champion tapas, a few are another, again, a few good familiar names that you'll recognize. The top of my list, Charles Patterson.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Charles Patterson. Charlena. He's a- He doesn't work for us. Why is he paying for a Patreon? Stephanie Kill. Surely we can give him for a Patreon? Ah, Stephanie Kill. We can give him a free Patreon. Well, I mean, honest system, isn't it? Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Sophie, where are you at with your Patreon subscription? Good. Ticking along. Yeah, real good. Yeah. She shares that with her fake husband though. Did you know that? Does he use your Patreon login? Sure.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Wow. Yeah, he did watch the live stream. He watched the Tarpathon and I didn't actually think about how that was possible. Have to ask him. I will not. He's busy listening to Hamish and Andy. Stephanie Keele, good on you, Steph. Kayla Davidson, love you Kayla. Sally F and Jenny Stowers.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Absolutely love to see you guys. Thank you so much for being here and loving us. We can't do this without you. Guys, if you're a champion tarpa this Friday, the 1st of November, can we get a date check on that? Yes, 1st of November. By the 1st of November, like you have to, we're shutting the door on the 1st of November.
Starting point is 00:15:03 If you're a champion tarpa, you're going to get a 2025 Tony and Ryan calendar. Fully shot by us, fully made by us. Like we are actually doing it. We get to put all the dates in ourselves and everything. Like it's a whole thing. Now are you ready for today's promotion? Today's promotion?
Starting point is 00:15:21 In 2025, what a sight to see with Tony and Ryan pure glee. Each month's a delight, full of tarpa's might. Grab your calendar. Laughter is free. But Patreon's not obviously, so. So there you go. Read that poem again. This is a surprise poem, can I just add?
Starting point is 00:15:44 I didn't know that this poem was occurring. In 2025, what a sight to see with Tony and Ryan pure glee. Each month's a delight full of tarpa's might. Grab your calendar. Laughter is free. It betters costs for the Patreons. That is beautiful. And I like that you've taken a leaf out of my book and that that poem rhymes.
Starting point is 00:16:08 It's a limerick. It's not. Um, fuck, don't get me started on- You didn't do it with the da da da da da da da da. Okay, I'll go again. Da da da da da da da da. Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da. That's the rhythm of the moment.
Starting point is 00:16:22 In 2025, what a sight to see with Tony and Ryan, pure glee. Each month's a delight full of time. It's not a limerick. Grab a calendar, laughter is free. No. Thank you very much. A limerick for this might be... There was a young lady from York.
Starting point is 00:16:34 That's how they all start. Tomorrow, a new limerick. No, I'm going to do it now. I'm freestyling a limerick now. There once was a girl called Tony who started a pod with her blee, her matey. They took photos for a calendar. You...
Starting point is 00:16:53 Calendar's a tough word. That's a tough word to rhyme with. Okay, I might not freestyle this. A single word in the English language that rhymes with calendar. There once was a couple of mates who put all this stuff into dates. The calendar's free, but not really, because you've got to be a Patreon crate. Pretty good. Pretty good off the cuff.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Tomorrow, a new blimmery. Okay. You sprang the poem on me and I love it. That is amazing. Yep. And you can You sprang the poem on me and I love it. That is amazing. Yep. And you can't buy these calendars. Patreon's the only way. If you want to sign up for November one, enjoy the month and then fuck off.
Starting point is 00:17:33 All good. Actually so fine. We would love for a million zillion people to get this calendar, but not actually a million because we haven't printed the money. No, I'll take a million. We'll take a million.
Starting point is 00:17:43 I'm sure the printing company will take a million. Yeah. Okay. Fucking line them up. We'll take a million. I'm sure the printing company will take a million. Yeah. Okay. Fucking line them up. Yeah. Line them up, dog. Hey, never trust Tony to be a tour guide guys, because you're going to get fucking lied to. So about a month ago, we can, we can talk about this place. It's a great place. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Pepe's, which is an Italian place right in the middle of the city. Have I said that right? It used to be called Trunk for anybody that's like, Yeah. It's like, Oh yeah. Oh, okay guys. Yeah. So now you trust my fucking-
Starting point is 00:18:09 Who's the local now? Now you know my fucking, all my insides. You're trusting me as a tour guide now. I just knew that it wasn't always Pepe's. No. It's been a few, but it's a very iconic, cause in the middle of the skyscrapers, but it's just like a single story building.
Starting point is 00:18:21 It's got like a huge fence around it. Yeah. I mean, it's like it's in the wrong place. Yeah. And then it's like a beautiful, like Italiano little beer garden. And they've got like, it's very cute vibes. It's styled immaculately. Like it's very cool. So there's a beautiful old building. And like Tony said, a lot of garden and stuff. And then in the garden, there's like a little outdoor room,
Starting point is 00:18:43 which is often used as extra seating, a little function room. Tony and I were at a function there a month ago and there was probably 70 people. There's a pizza oven, a beautiful new bar, all this fun stuff and blah, blah, blah. Tony was... It's a long, narrow building. It's not, it's actually quite wide. When you go down the stairs. It's a long, narrow building not, it's actually quite wide. When you go down the stairs. It's a long narrow building though.
Starting point is 00:19:06 That's fair. A long rectangular building. You'll know why Tony's getting defensive real soon. It is a long rectangular building and you have to actually give me that or I'll scream. It is, I can confirm it is a rectangle. Long rectangular building. No, it's kind of.
Starting point is 00:19:23 So it covers the whole length of the side. What I will say is it's not the same shape as a tram. It is. So... I'm actually like... So Tony over the weekend was at Pepe's again for a different event and they were outside. And Tony goes, oh yeah, we had an event there last month. We were in that tram structure.
Starting point is 00:19:48 And all the girls at the event go, oh, I didn't realize that was a tram. And Tony goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so then- Is that a tram? And I was like, yeah. Yeah, and then Tony says to me this morning, goes, yeah, yeah, you know that place with the tram?
Starting point is 00:20:01 And I went, no, I just remember Pepe's. And I go, oh, and I go, I didn't know that was a tram. And Tony goes, neither, you know that place with the tram? And I went, no, she goes, remember Pepe's and I go, oh, and I go, I didn't know that was a tram. And Tony goes, neither did the girls. And then I said, is the reason everyone you've told it's a tram didn't know it was a tram possibly maybe because it's actually not a tram? No, well, I was like, hang on, let me look at their function spaces on the website and can confirm it's called PayPal's parlor.
Starting point is 00:20:28 It's not a decommissioned tram as I thought. And I have told like 30 people because when they told you told them, do you know, Ryan, I didn't only tell the people, the girls on the weekend, I told every person at that function, what's it called again? The outdoor bit, the PayPal's parlor, the tram told every person at that function. What's it called again? The outdoor bit? The pay pace parlor, the tram, every person at that function. I was like, can you, how cool is this venue? And they're like, yeah, the food's great and whatever.
Starting point is 00:20:53 And then I go, can you believe this is an old decommissioned tram? And they went, wow. I've like been fielding out this fucking fact thinking that I was the most interesting girl in the room. Nope. You're just a liar. I've been going there for so long.
Starting point is 00:21:09 Like I went there when it was called trunk. We've been, we used to go there all the time. We lived in Richmond. I've actually seen nothing look less like a tram now that I'm looking at it in new light, but look at that picture and then look in the corner. Does that look like a tram up the back? It actually does. I stand by it. It's green and rectangle. I'll give you that.
Starting point is 00:21:28 And that is where the similarities ends. And it's got like the rounded windows. No, it doesn't actually. The main building has rounded windows, not the parlor bit. It's just a room. Yeah, so- But thanks for letting everyone know because you know they went home and their partner goes,
Starting point is 00:21:44 Oh, how was lunch? And she goes, yeah, I went to Pepper. Cause you know, they went home and their partner goes, Oh, how was lunch and cheese? You went to pepper. Did she know that things are tram? And the, and the boyfriend probably goes, I didn't know that. Fucking sucked in for believing something that I just said, you know, you, if you're trusting.
Starting point is 00:21:57 That's the inside of it. It looks like a tram. It's got windows. Yeah. Like a tram. It's a room. It's a room, like a tram. It's got windows. Yeah, like a tram. It's a room. It's like a room with four walls. It's got a glass roof. Like a fancy tram.
Starting point is 00:22:11 No, I've never seen one of those. It's got a built-in pizza oven and stone bench. Oh, well, if you had a tram, you're telling me that you wouldn't want it to have a pizza oven in there. They've just taken a tram and made it the best version of itself. All right, the similarities is that it is green, it is rectangle and it has windows and that's where
Starting point is 00:22:30 it's and Tony's been in one. I have you been on a tram? Yeah. Okay. Don't be a dick. Obviously I used to catch a tram all the time. I lived in the city. But, but do you know what they look like?
Starting point is 00:22:43 That's so, you know that I fucking catch the tram. Yeah, but the fact you've been on a tram should give you clues that of the differences is what I'm getting at. But anyone who's been on a tram and to Pepe's parlour knows they're not the same. If you, per chance, right, had a decommissioned tram
Starting point is 00:23:00 and were using it as like a um... Oh no, I get it. That's fun. Yeah, right. Yeah. It obviously wouldn't as like a, Oh no, I get it. That's fun. Yeah. Right. It obviously wouldn't look like a tram inside anymore. They don't leave the seats in and whatever. And you don't have to tag on to get in. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:23:14 Like obviously. That was the gift when we walked up to the event and we had to touch out Mikey. Sorry, do you want? Do you guys take card? But I'm thinking like, you know, I think that I want to talk to the designer because I think that-
Starting point is 00:23:27 To Pepe, get Pepe on the line. I would like to talk to Pepe because I think that there has been tram inspo for that styling of the outside and inside of that building. I reckon I would actually put money on that having been an inspired choice of it being in the middle of Melbourne and I maybe isn't a decommissioned tramp. I'm sure there'll be an option.
Starting point is 00:24:00 A general inquiry. We keep saying Pepe's and it's Pepe's. We don't have a reservation. I'm sure there'll be an option. A general inquiry. We keep seeing Pepe's and it's Pepe's. We don't have a reservation. You should have asked about the private things and been like, was it modeled on a... You clipped the wrong thing. If you had have gone to private inquiries,
Starting point is 00:24:22 private functions, it might be someone. But you might get to someone who knows a lot about the tram. Thank you for calling Pepe's Italian and Liquor. We are unable to take your call at this moment. If you're running late for a reservation, please reply to your confirmation text message and we will hold your table. For reservations on another day or to discuss a future reservation, please email us at reservation. Hang up. There might be another number. For event inquiries or to discuss a current event, please email events at.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Hello. Hang up and do the private function. Because you're going to get through to someone that's in and out of that tram all day. Please head to our website at pepysitalian.com.au to discuss a current reservation, please press 1. For private event inquiries or to discuss a current function booking, please press 2. General inquiries is 3. It's all the same guy.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Yeah. I'm so jealous. Thank you for calling Pepe Zatiana Lickup. We are unable to take your call at this moment. They're not open. If you're running late for reservation, please reply to your confirmation text message and we will hold your table. What do we do?
Starting point is 00:25:38 I tell you what we do. We get some new people down to Pepe's to answer the phone. These are the kind of customer service inquiries that you need to be ready to answer 24-7. I think so as well. Pardon me, guys, I didn't answer because I would have felt bad for wasting their time. No, because it's a good inquiry and because they might go, finally, someone has understood the vision of the parlor. That's what they'd say.
Starting point is 00:26:02 They'd probably cry and rejoice. So how was Pepe's? Was beautiful. It was absolutely beautiful. Yeah. I don't know if I can go on. Honestly. I really love to see it here.
Starting point is 00:26:16 Amazing. It's from Aiden Hellcro. Oh. Hey Aiden. So I told my boyfriend about the PhD joke from the Tony and Ryan podcast. Pretty huge dude. Oh.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Well, yeah. Sorry, I'm just filling anyone in if you're not. So my boyfriend went and got a photo at a dinosaur park and he said, here's me with a PhD, pretty huge dinosaur. That is the sweetest thing I've ever seen in my life. Because he knew that his partner also liked dinosaurs. I've got a PhD, a pretty huge dinosaur. And he's at this like, I'm assuming like a kids fun park
Starting point is 00:27:01 that has, or like a playground that just has a big fake dinosaur. Don't like, people will probably listen to me like, fuck dude, like look at how that PhD is going to get you. It's a Tyrannosaurus Rex. They don't fuck around. Oh no, it's yeah. You don't know. What's that one? Show me. That's a long neck from Lamb Before Time. Is that a diplodocus?
Starting point is 00:27:29 Yeah, it doesn't have the little arms like a T-Rex. No, it's not a- Diplodocus is one of them, yeah. Yeah. Pretty huge diplodocus. The original PhD. That's amazing. Well, she said a dicklodosis on a diplodotus,
Starting point is 00:27:43 you know what I'm saying? Supercalifragilisticexpdiplodocus. They're not here to fuck spiders. Because spiders haven't been invented yet. You totally fucked my joke just then. That's fine. Sophie's enjoyed that. Nah, there's a couple of good ones there.
Starting point is 00:27:51 I've got a love to say here from Amanda. Oh, sorry. I think we need a break, dude. Last few episodes, fuck. She's getting out of control over here. Amanda says, hello from the Amanda. Sorry. I think we need a break, dude. Last few episodes, fuck. She's getting out of control over here.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Amanda says, hello from North Carolina, USA. Awesome, hello. Love North Carolina, home of the tram. She lives at Pepe's. This kid from somewhere in the Midwest USA created a hot sauce company for a business class that he was taking. He actually got a B on the project because the teacher was like, look, it's all right.
Starting point is 00:28:27 But it's like very unrealistic. And there's no way that this would ever take off. Right. This kid now has sold thousands of bottles of this crippling hot sauce to prove that his wheelchair and cerebral palsy diagnosis won't stop his dream. So this teacher has gone, oh, like, it's okay, but you would never be able to do this. And he's really started the fucking blog
Starting point is 00:28:49 and Amanda said I've ordered a bottle and she can't wait to try it. But there's an Instagram page for it that you can go and support and have a look. It's called at crippling underscore hot underscore source underscore. We'll put it in the Facebook thread for today's episode. But it's like this.
Starting point is 00:29:08 There's all these little like reels of interviews that he's done on TV, like sharing his source and crippling hot sauce. Yes. So you can check that out on Instagram and maybe buy a bottle if you're if that floats your boat. You know, but yeah, like 50,000 followers on Instagram. Absolutely fucking killing it. And yeah, just like-
Starting point is 00:29:29 Free shipping over 45 bucks. Isn't that just so amazing? I love that. So congratulations. What an awesome brand. And also start the fucking blog and also a big fuck you to that teacher. Yeah, fuck you.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Thecripplingcompany.com. The website's great. There he is, Drew. And it's just- This is amazing. It's a really, really cool brand. The branding is awesome. Like youcom. The website's great. There he is, Drew. This is amazing. It's a really, really cool brand. The branding's awesome. Like you said, the website's sick.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Sorry. He's got me with the marketing. Can I read a line from the website? Please. So he's there in his wheelchair, and he says, it's not the hot sauce that put me in the wheelchair. It's the cerebral palsy.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Love it. Like, don't worry guys, the sauce is hot. The sauce is safe, Like you're all good. But it's not like that hot. No, and it's just like, it's so cool. And yeah, really like silly way of like kind of doing something that makes you feel awesome. And yeah, I just fucking love to see it.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Do you want to order some? Yeah, I do actually. Well, let's get the triple cripple bundle. I also know that though, Ryan, you are a fan of merch and there is a t-shirt available. Yeah, now I get that. So we'll be adding that to cart for sure. And the triple cripple bundle I'm gonna get,
Starting point is 00:30:31 which is three of the different sources. But yeah, I just thought you loved to see that and how awesome that people start in the fucking blog, telling people to fucking shove it up your ass. But a big thank you to Amanda for sharing that with us because I haven't seen that before. So thank you very much. That t-shirt is sick.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Yeah. And I think it looks like a barbecue sauce up there, which was a bit of my area. Well, we've got to go because we're obviously going shopping. If anybody has been to Pepe's Italian liquor though, I need you to comment of whether you think it's a tram. And we're going to try and get it. We're going to try and get in touch with them. Sweetie. I think it is though, the inspiration is a tram and we're going to try and get it. We're going to try and get in touch with them. Sweetie.
Starting point is 00:31:05 I think it is, though, that inspiration is a tram. But I reckon like, if you if you believe it's a tram, then it can be a tram. But that many people can't agree with me. I just think the more evidence you try to get, the more your heart might be crushed. No, because so I'm just saying, why don't you just take the win? But I just want to know whether I'm the only person that thought that. I think, yeah, I don't know if anyone else. But when I bought the information to people, they weren't like, well, obviously not.
Starting point is 00:31:34 They were like, oh, cool. Let's call the Lord Mayor of Melbourne. No, we're not calling anyone else. Hello? Who are you calling? I'm calling Mandy Dunn. Would your mum know? She won't. She'll go to that place and I'll go with the tram and she'll go what?
Starting point is 00:32:01 Hello, this is Mandy. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you when I get back to the stream. How does that feel? First Pepe is now my own mother. Don't worry, my mom doesn't answer my calls either. Love you, see you tomorrow. The worst thing is she's gonna call back now
Starting point is 00:32:20 and I'm gonna have to talk to her. And it's not gonna make sense, yeah. Oh, it's like when you call someone when you're in the car and then they call you later, you're like, no, no, no, no. I'm not in the same place I was before. You were on the way home, guy. You missed your window. I don't waste family time for you.
Starting point is 00:32:32 I waste a car trip. Sure. No, 100%. Absolutely love you. See you tomorrow. Bye. Acast powers the world's best podcasts. Here's a show that we recommend. Céline Dion. My dream?
