Hello and welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. It's producer Cam with you, letting you know that our beloved Tony has copped. She has copped her, I think it's her 85th case of COVID. So we're all going to be resting up for the next couple of days, and I'm here to take you through some of our best throwback segments. Now, if you're listening from New Zealand today and you haven't been to our socials, I'm just letting you know here that our Auckland meet and greet

that is scheduled for this Saturday, the 2nd of September, it has been postponed until we're all feeling better, all right? Now, I'll say it again just for clarity. It's been postponed. It has not been cancelled. So I promise, I promise, Tony and Ryan will be setting up another date very soon. For today, however,

we're going to be jumping into some great gear. Now, speaking of jumping in, we're going to revisit the time that Tony fell into the phone pit and needed to be rescued by about six or seven hunks. But to start off with, of course, for a Thursday, here is some normal or nah. Normal or nah.

Sitting on the same side of a booth, leaving the other side empty. Toni? It's a nah from me. Really? And is it nah at every stage of the relationship or does it change over time? Nah, I just think it's a nah.

I just feel like if you're sitting on the same side, what's the benefit of that? Because you're both next to each other, you can like pop an arm around. If you're both, like Bridget and I both like the booth seat. Yeah. But often I'll like let her have that and I'll sit in the other one. Torb's always lets me have it too. Yeah. What nice gentlemen we are. Yeah. But sometimes if, you know, you just want to cuddle up and it's cold and then you can like people watch and look out together. Yeah. And stuff like that maybe.

Yeah, that's fair. Are you a normal or nah for this? I think it's also like a honeymoon, like first date, nah. Because you want to. But maybe between a month and a year of dating it's like cute, oh, we'll snuggle in together and we'll share a bit of a dessert. But then after a while, you might just be like, righto, mate, we're here to eat, get out of my way.

Mary Beth, absolutely nah. I have to be as unintrusive as possible. What happens when one of us has to get up and go to the bathroom? Yes. They have to do that awkward shuffle out, the new shuffle out behind them. And like the vinyl peels off your legs. What an absolute nightmare, says Marley Beth.

Jess says, nah, so cringe. I hate it when my ex wanted to sit next to me and hold hands or hold on to me. Leave me alone. I need space while eating. I mean, it is a serious, serious time of the day. Jess is like, I came here for a palmer, not really to hang out with you. It's fine that you're here. It's fine that you're here.

It's fine that you're here. But I'm here to get a palmer and chips and a cheap beer into me. Get out of my way. I don't want my elbows bumping into you. I'm huffing it down. Yeah, I do get that. You've got to have wingspan room. Yeah.

Yeah. There is a part of me that thinks it's cute though. I think the idea that you have in your head is like what you would see like in a movie though. Whilst I'm not saying that you're wrong in any way, I also am saying I don't want to hear that. Okay. I like to think that the world is a movie.

Fair enough. And that's how it all works. I mean, or you could just eat at home on the couch. That's an option. Avoid this whole issue. Yeah. This is from Ashley Coombs. Normal or nah, Vegemite on pancakes?

I'm going to say nah because I've never done it. But it wouldn't be bad, I guess. I reckon, yeah, a bit of butter and a bit of Vegemite on a pancake would be delicious. The only risk would be ripping the pancake when you're trying to spread it. You just tear the thing in half. Ashley says normal. She goes, I fucking love it.

That's all I want. If I ever have pancakes. Vegemite. Vegemite. And she says I have pancakes on the weekend when they're at home. Yeah. For breakfast. If they go out for breakfast, you're like, oh, get the pancakes.

Do you guys have Vegemite? Because now you can get like a berry brulee and a fancy drizzled honey and maybe even a honeycomb, dare I say it. And imagine all those options and going, got any Vegemite? Any Vegemite on that, dog? Yeah, the spreading I feel would be an issue. But, you know, what you could do, just put your knife in some hot water to make like your knife hot so that it would be a bit easier to spread

and it wouldn't rip up. That's good advice. Thanks, that is good advice, Tony's Cooking Channel. I'm just trying to imagine the taste in my mouth because often pancakes are like on the sweeter side, but I really like having pancakes like with like, you know, when you go out and they do like bacon and pancakes or like chicken and waffles or.

Yeah, the Canadian sort of stuff. Yeah. Well, I think that maybe is the appeal of the Vegemite. So you've got the sweet pancake and the salty Vegemite, so the contrast is like delicious. I really like Vegemite, so I'm absolutely not knocking it. But, yeah, that sounds, it's, I'm just trying to like, you know when you just can't really put your finger

on what it would taste like? This fucks me off. Oh, okay. Normal or nah, setting your alarm for 6am while on holidays to reserve the best sun lounges by the pool for the day. My dad, the person who's commented this, gets up at 6am, put the towel down on four of the front row spots, then comes back to the bed knowing we'll have prime seating

for after breakfast. Get a fucking life. That annoys me because then for anybody that doesn't, and I'm pretty sure that at most hotels and stuff it says you can't reserve chairs. Because they know that there's snakes like this. So that people don't do that. And it's unfair because then if you don't do that,

then you never get a good, like there's no chance of you getting a good spot. Yeah. But it's the culture of hustling a good seat early. It's like we're on holidays. Yeah, take a chill. The point of me being here is not setting an alarm. I totally agree.

If I'm setting an alarm, I'm not on holidays. You know what fucking kills me? Go on. It's almost over. When you go on holiday and the buffet breakfast is like till 9 o'clock. Fuck no. So you know that you're going to have to wake up at like quarter to eight so that you can get down there and still.

I know. And if you go there right before it ends, normally they're like running out of eggs, running out of bacon, not doing any more toast or whatever. They're cleaning up around you. Yeah, and then you're like, I can't even enjoy this. So I'm going on holiday. I obviously want to enjoy the buffet breakfast because the best part about it is that you eat a massive buffet breakfast

and you don't need any lunch. You eat a pizza, like a little pizza by the pool at like 3 or 4 o'clock and then you have dinner at like 8pm. Yeah, Sean Holdo. And it's fucking awesome. But I would actually like to begin a campaign to make hotels put the buffet breakfast later, just a bit later because I want to still enjoy a sleep in and be like, cool, if I can wake up at 9 and still know

that I've got a couple of hours of egg time, that's pretty good. I'm going to put it out there. Yeah. Instead of closing the buffet breakfast at 9, what if it opened at 9 and closed at 1? There, I fucking said it. I like that. Do you think it's so that people don't eat it for lunch?

I mean, they can eat it. What's the fucking difference? Yeah, exactly. But you're on holidays. Like, you know, when you wake up slow, have a coffee, like I'll have breakfast in an hour or so. I don't need to get up straight away and start eating. And because often in a hotel they've got, like,

coffee facilities or whatever. I love getting up and having a coffee in bed, as we know. I can't be trusted at home. Do it in someone else's sheets. Do it in someone else's bed. That's okay. Someone, you know, that's okay. I'm paying for, you know, fresh sheets every day.

Do you remember that time when, for my wife Bridget's birthday, we booked you know, that's okay. I'm paying for, you know, fresh sheets every day. Do you remember that time when for my wife Bridget's birthday we booked that fancy hotel room? Yeah. And you and Torbs came around, a few of my mates, we all had some beers and wine. Some pizza. We had a pretty good night. Yeah.

Did you know that you can drink in the pool there as well? Tony's mocking me because I learnt that you can drink beers in the hotel pool and I did lots of that and in my drunken state felt the need to tell every man and his dog 15 times. About 20 times. Did you know you could drink beers in the hotel pool and I did lots of that and in my drunken state felt the need to tell every man and his dog 15 times. About 20 times. Did you know you could drink in the pool? Yeah.

You can drink in it. Yeah, and then someone would rock up and they'd be like, oh, Ryan, you been drinking? He's like, yeah, you can drink in the pool. To be fair, when they came over, everyone was dressed nice and I was still in a robe and my board shorts. I'm sorry, I've just come out of the pool. You can drink in it.

Yeah, you can drink out there. It's pretty good. Can people please comment in the episode thread that that actually is a fucking good thing worth saying 100 times? Yeah. Because it was great. And they serve you in a little plastic cup so you're sitting in the pool. I mean, it is fantastic.

We got a Pimms jug in the pool. In the pool! This is literally what it was like. Anyway, yes, continue. So because we had a pretty big night and then you guys all left about midnight or 1 o'clock, Bridget and I were like, oh, we're not just going to leave like a glass of wine in the bottom of that bottle.

Of course. You know, just have a bit of a nightcap. And because it was just the two of you, you're like, one more drink. Yeah, one more drink, have a few snacks, whatever. And then we had to book in. You couldn't just rock into the buffet breakfast when you woke up. You had to like book.

And they're like, oh, well, the only booking left is like 7.40. What? So you're telling me I've got to wake up in six hours? This is a holiday. I will be there at 2pm. Yeah. I want eggs at 11. Yeah, not 7.40.

And I want a pot of tea and I want a fresh fucking coffee and I want your fruit and your pastry and all your shit, but I just want you to shift it back a little bit. I'm still going to be drunk at 7.40. Unless you want me telling your barista you can drink in the pool, you probably don't want me there either. I shouldn't have to make a choice between buffet and sleep in. I shouldn't.

And no one should. I'm doing this for the benefit of everyone in the world. Yeah, you are. I'm with you. Let's start a everyone in the world. Yeah, you are. Everyone. Let's start a campaign. Thank you. Yeah, okay. Go fund me.com slash late buffet breakfast.

Go fund me. Money's not going to help us. Yeah, well, we'll hire a campaign manager. Because then when people go, why don't you just then go to the cafe? It's not a buffet. And also, I paid for the buffet when I signed up to this hotel. It's a different experience. It really is.

Yeah, those little sausages. Still wearing the slippers from upstairs. Yeah, you don't get those little sausages anywhere else, do you? No, you don't. Get some more chipolatas. Fucking, do you know, can you actually just go to a buffet breakfast? Just book in? Yeah.

Probably. We should do that. Haven't had enough small sausage at home? Come and get some small sausages here. Final normal or nah, and this is a controversial one. Ooh. Normal or nah? Sniffing your pet and enjoying it.

Normal. Sorry? Normal, 100%. Sophie has messaged through. You're really feeling something. Yeah. I only started doing this about a year and a half ago when I discovered in many cultures you sniffing as a form of affection.

I even remember my dad sniffing my head when I was a baby as a kid as a way that he showed that he loved me. So I decided to start doing the same with my precious little lady cat because I love her so much. My little lady cat. Now it's gotten to the point where I just shove my face in her belly and take in a big. Am I normal?

I think so. Or am I a freak? I can confirm because there's hundreds of comments on this thread of other people going, I thought I was the only one. 90% of pet owners love to smell their pet and it doesn't smell of hot puree or roses. It's got a bit of, you know, a bit of realness in it, but it's like is it kind of pheromone territory almost?

I was about to say we were talking about how you like the smell of your partner after they've done a workout or been at work, whatever. It's not like pongy. It's like a smell that you like. There is nothing better than shoving, like snuggling a dog and like sniffing their head or like. Do you sniff BJ's head? Yeah, I did it the other day when I was at your house.

You know when like you sniff a dog's paws and they smell a bit like Doritos. That cheesy toe jam. You know that? You know that smell? And it smells like it's yak and it's like, I love it. I'm not trying to add anyone here, so I'll change their name to Shmaria. Okay, well, I just talked about the fucking dog's toe cheese. Except Tony's toe cheesing.

I've only just realised that I've been doing it and I've been doing it for years, says Shmaria. It was almost like an unconscious habit and it wasn't until she read the thread that she went, oh, I don't, oh, no, I do do that. Shmaria, welcome. Welcome, Shmaria. Oh, it's just like, you know, when you look at,

I was just saying this to my mate the other day, John the cat from down a couple of houses away from me, she comes and she like rolls around and is all cute in my balcony. I can't touch her because I'm allergic. I love her so much that when I look at her, I actually feel sick. Because you want to get up. Because I love her so much. And she just wanders over.

And I was saying it to my mate and she was like, I said that to my mum once that I love this cat so much that I want to just bite it or rip its arms off. I love it so much. What is that? And her mum went, that's love. Isn't that special? That is special. You know when you just love something so much, you're like, oh her mum went, that's love. Isn't that special? That is special.

You know when you just like love something so much, you're like, oh, I just want to bloody bite your bum. We know that. You know when you're just like. Okay. We've really touched a nerve with Tony here. You know that John's owner listens to this podcast, don't you? I know what we can do.

What? Let's get you like a Breaking Bad-esque hazman suit. So that I could just go out there and snuggle her? Yeah. Yeah. I think I'm going to have to. Full PPE, gloves. Because literally when I look at her and she just rolls around,

she's all cute, I just want to throw up. She's so fucking cute. I love her so much. A box of antihistamines. Yep. Take half before she comes over, half after. I's so fucking cute. I love her so much. A box of antihistamines. Take half before she comes over, half after. I'll probably pass out.

Non-drowsy. Non-meowsy. Thanks for listening. This is the Tony and Ryan podcast. I've got a question for parents. A lot of parents listen to the Tony and Ryan podcast. I've got a question for parents. A lot of parents listen to the Tony and Ryan podcast. Do you ever get jealous of the fun things that your kids get to do? Playing in the playground.

Yeah. Eating fairy bread. Watching Disney cartoons without judgment or the need to justify why you're watching a cartoon. Also, kids have the sickest toys. Yeah, toys now are unreal. Kids just have so much shit to do. Yeah.

And I've got shit to do that's boring, like work and pay bills and stuff. So a lot of my friends having children, there's a bit of a vibe amongst parents that, like, these kids have got it pretty good. Yeah. And these kids are having a way better time than I'm having. You know, there's kind of this bit of jealousy setting in. having a way better time than I'm having. You know, there's the kind of this, the bit of jealousy setting in.

I have this desire to play in a big, you know, the ball pit. Oh, my God. Wouldn't you love to just dive in? Yeah. I'd love to be in the ball pit. And I mean the kids one, not the dance floor at Peel. Nice. A little ball pit. Nice.

Yep. Jump into one of those big foam pits. I thought this would be the ultimate. and I mentioned this to my mate, Tony Lodge, and Tony Lodge says, maybe not as fun for adults as you might think. Yeah. Now, Tony, why is an adult in a foam pit not as fun as I might think it is?

It might be fun for an adult that isn't me. I don't know if this is like an experience that only I've had. I really hope not. But this is a couple of years ago and it was when I was living in Bunbury. I was working in radio. So I'd moved away from all of my family and friends. And so the work crew used to get together and do like random shit all the time and they opened a bounce in bumbury awesome so

like you remember when bounce was new and it's like one of those trampoline centers but then they've also got like the long trampolines where you run up and like dunk a basketball they're fun but then they've also got like a foam pit. Yeah. And over the top of the foam pit is like a balance beam. So you're like, oh, got a balance, don't fall into the foam pit. Yeah, and they've got those like things where you like wrestle and like whoever wins.

Oh, like Gladiator. Remember that TV show Gladiator? Yes, exactly like that. So good. A bit less brutal, I guess. Vulcan wasn't there. Who's that? Your friend?

One of the great gladiators of Australian gladiator history. Of course. I remember. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Vulcan. Sorry, I thought you said Culkin. He hasn't been fast enough in the Furious movies. Really? As one of the heavies, like, you know, a bit of a tough.

Fuck it. Where are these? What? You just said tough. Did I? Yes. I need to get this out of my vocabulary. What's happened to me?

I've left commercial radio and I've turned into a real potty mouth. Potty mouth. Okay. I'm back to sounding lame. Good. I'm back. I'm back. Anyway. And so they had one of those and I was there with a bunch of like friends from work. So you know, you're kind of trying to like put your best foot, like you get along well, you know each other, but you're trying to like look cool and do, you know, you know. I know. i get it and one of the guys that i went with i love jesse we get along very very well he's a very nice guy um anyway and he was there and we went over to do the balance beam thing together he obviously pushed me off i'm tiny he's tall like obviously he pushed me off into the phone pit and I was like, oh, my God, how am I going to get out?

There is obviously stairs, so it's fine. There was not any stairs. I wouldn't have assumed there were stairs. Because you could probably hit your head or something on them, right? And do you fall into the foam or do you feel onto the foam? You know what I'm saying? Some people might fall on. I fell in. Oh, right.

And how deep was the foam? Probably like a regular tall person's body height. Like a pool? Like it's above your head kind of thing? No, not above your head. But it's up there? Like, you know, in the shallow end of the pool, how it kind of goes up to your waist.

Yeah. But then like in the middle of the pool, it kind of comes up to. Top of your chest? Yeah. Yeah, shoulders. Probably about that on me in the shallow part. Ah, righto. So Jesse falls in, like jumps in after me and he just goes over to the edge

and like pulls himself out because he's really tall, goes to the gym a lot. Strong upper body. He was fun. Yep. I like weighed through the foam. The off cuts of foam and this is like, yeah, like foam like from a mattress, not foam.

It's hard to move through foam, right? Yeah, because it's solid. You can't just walk over. In case anybody is thinking that we mean like at a foam party, I mean like off cuts of foam like at gymnastics. Dare I say like a pink bat. Yes, a bit like a pink bat but no asbestos. I think there's asbestos in those.

Yeah. So I'm like trying to wade through the foam and like have you ever been in a foam pit? Yeah. And like you know how the foam kind of like crumbles up a bit so you get sweaty and you get stressed and like the foam kind of like sticks to you like a crumbly biscuit. Yeah, okay.

So that's what's happening to me. So I'm getting like all these bits of foam stuck to me and I'm getting like really, bits of fun such, man. I'm getting like really, really stressed. I'm getting really, really sweaty. A real life golden gay time. Yep. All the crumbs, all the juices.

I was. Yep. I absolutely was. Yep. And so I like wade over to the edge. Jessie's already gotten out and kind of like started walking away. And started driving home. Yeah.

And like I'm like trying to, I can't get enough purchase on the edge of the thing to, like, hoist myself out because I wasn't tall enough. And even when I kind of, like, jumped out, I don't have enough upper body strength to, like, pull my body out of the foam pit. So were you just on the side just – I'm literally just, like, bobbing up and down, like, trying to get out of the thing, and I couldn't.

How long did you try for? So I started to panic. So Jessie had started walking away probably, like, a minute or two. That's a long time. Yes. down, like trying to get out of the thing, and I couldn't. How long did you try for? So I started to panic. So Jessie had started walking away probably like a minute or two. That's a long time. Yes. When you're trying to panic. Because I didn't want anyone to notice because I didn't want them to be like, oh, chubby girl stuck in the phone pit.

So you didn't want anyone to think chubby girl stuck in the phone pit, but what had happened? I was a chubby girl stuck in the phone pit. So, I mean, it was doing what it said on the tin, you know what I mean? But you don't want to broadcast that. No, I didn't want to tell anyone. Anyway, so I was like, Jessie, Jessie, Jessie. And anyway, he turns around and sees that I'm stuck in it.

And I was like, I can't get out. I'm like looking very panicked. And he was like, oh, my God. He starts laughing. He like sprints over and he tries to like starts to try and like hoik me out. That's nice. How did he go?

He couldn't lift me out because I was so stressed and panicked by this point. I was so sweaty. He like couldn't grab onto my arms and I was panicking that he couldn't like. Is it the moment where you probably just need to stay calm but it's the last thing and the more you panic, then you panic about the fact you're panicking. Yes.

It's like when you try a ring on in a store and then you can't get it off and then you're like, I've got to buy this. How about you say, I'm so sorry. Just cut my finger off. It's fine. I don't mind. I don't need it. I don't need it.

I don't need it. I point with this one, not that one. I'm right-handed, so it's fine. And he's like, I can't get you. And he's pissing himself laughing. I was pissing myself laughing to try and not cry. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, so it turns out that there was, like,

a sports team that went to bounce, like, obviously to, like, practice. Go to training. Like when they're in training. Basketball. Yeah. Because they're, like, fit and athletic and they're doing flips and shit. Yes, yeah, yeah. So probably like six pretty jacked dudes walk over to do like their training

around the thing. And Jesse's like, but he didn't consult me, so this is, you know, a real breach of friendship contract. He goes, oi, guys. And he. Oh, no. And we just, No, no, no, no. I wanted to throw up and die. But did you also want to get out of the phone, Pete?

You know what I mean? Well, yeah, but I was so... And I don't embarrass easily. Like, I actually don't. I, like, get stressed about and anxious, but I don't get embarrassed. But was this one of those times? I was really...

I was embarrassed that I couldn't get out and that Jesse couldn't get me out. Anyway, he's like, oi, guys. Fuck. And so they come over and I was like. What's going on? And I was like, I'm sorry, I cannot get out. And I fucking shit you not, these six dudes all like had their hands

on a limb. Yeah. And they had to hoik me out of the foam pit. I looked like a child at swimming lessons who like couldn't get out of the pool. What's that vending machine game? Like the claw game? And picks you up. They came down and placed me on the edge of the thing. Pulled you out of the other toilet.

Yeah. And so they all hoiked me. And like they did it with ease. Like, it was fine. And I was just like, oh. And, you know, there is. Do they hoik you to your feet or do they just, like, lay you down? So I just want to paint the picture.

They hoik me out, throw me down like a rag doll. There is just nothing more humbling than laying on the ground. Do you like? Like this, covered in crumbly bits of foam because I'm all sweaty. I'm in my active wear. I was like, thanks, everyone. Thanks, boys.

Thanks for getting me out. I was like, yeah, there's something wrong in there. Like, I don't know. It's malfunction. So with the shame that you experienced and the embarrassment. Yeah, and all these hot boys that had to fucking pull me out of that. If I give you one of two options here, if you had your time again, would you rather A, the hot boys came over and they lifted you out

and just flung you down in your crumbs? Also, when I'm picturing hot boys, I'm picturing Justice Crew for some reason when you're telling the story. Yeah, the dance crew. Because I'm thinking Rip Fit, like, oh, Justice Crew will get you. To be honest, yeah, I blacked out. Would you rather that or still be in the phone pit years later? C, third option, stay home, not go.

Yeah, you should have cancelled. Thank you for listening to the Tony and Ryan podcast today. My name is Producer Cam. As always, I'm so privileged to bring you guys a You Love To See It. This one comes from Sarah Nozak, and she wrote it in our Facebook group. She says, my You Love To See It is a shout out to myself. I've been hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail for over 50 days now and tomorrow I will have hiked 1,000 miles or for our Aussie listeners, that is 1,609 kilometers. That is amazing. She says she's not even halfway done yet. The trail is 2,653 miles or, get this, 4,270 kilometers in total.

But I'm feeling so strong and proud of myself for having achieved this milestone. She says she listens to the Tony and Ryan podcast all the time to keep her company.
