Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast.
My name is Ryan. This is Tony.
You okay?
No.
You all right?
We're calling Dave.
We're calling Dave.
Who's in Crew in England.
Good Dave mate.
Should I say that?
Good Dave.
Yep.
Yeah.
Hello?
Hi Dave.
Good Dave.
Sorry.
I said I was going to say Dave.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Should I say that? You Dave? Uh, yep. Yeah.
Hello.
Hi Dave. Oh, you Dave.
Sorry.
I said I was going to say you Dave and I fucked it up.
Dave, how you doing?
It's Tony and Ryan.
Hi there.
How's crew this morning, Dave?
Well, it's a 10 to 11 at night.
So it's a bit darker.
A bit darker.
Hey, I'm ahead of time.
I'm just off the world's IQ.
I'm ahead.
Yeah.
I'm straight ahead.
Dave, I believe you work for a printer cartridge company.
Are you in the calendar business?
Because we might need some help with the printing.
We run out of ink Dave.
We only need Cyan if that helps.
Oh, she's on, she works in the can. Oh God no.
But no, we don't print calendars.
We don't print stuff, but we like sell print cartridges.
Yeah, well we only need Cyan.
Yeah.
Isn't it funny how like, I watched this TikTok the other day and it was like, how do you think that Cyan felt when it got the call up to be need the cyan. Yeah. Isn't it funny how like I watched this TikTok the other day and it was like,
how do you think that cyan felt when it got the call up to be in the calendar?
Yeah.
Like, cause of all the colors, like cyan's in there.
Yeah.
Cyan, magenta and yellow.
Crazy.
Cyan looks the wrong.
Yeah.
Everyone always thinks that yellow's got a funny name as well, but it's just yellow.
Cyan.
This is good printer cartridge chat.
It's good printer chat.
Yeah. I've actually just, just for a bit of context, our printer hasn't been working. well, but it's just yellow. Cyan. This is good printer cartridge chat.
I've actually just, just for a bit of context, our printer hasn't been working.
So I've been in and out of the printer like last few weeks. And I appreciate that.
Cause I said, I'm actually not taking that on because a printer could be the end
of me at this time of year.
And then Ryan actually was very, very sweet, real best friend chat.
He went, oh, printer working yet.
And I looked at him and he went, you know what?
I actually take that back.
He said, because you're fixing the printer and I don't have to do it.
So you know what?
I'm really sorry.
And I, and I redacted it.
I attracted it.
Um, Hey, uh, Dave, we will prove this podcast.
Yes, I will approve the podcast.
Hey, it's Dave.
I'm from crew in England and I approve this podcast.
I know I've recently done life hacks, but this first confession today, I don't know if it's a life hack or a cry for help,
or something that you do need to keep secret, hence why it's come through from a confession,
or something that you should be really proud of. So let's just go in and we'll decide where we land.
Okay. So we're just being open-minded?
Yes.
I always am.
These are top confessions.
Thank you for submitting these by the way, tonyandryan.com.au.
Do you want to do the acting?
Um, as a professional actor, I think it would be best. Okay.
I put my body on the line for your story.
There was a banging sound in our house.
sound in our house. So am I doing it or are you doing it?
I know what it is.
Well then I think that I can't do the acting then.
The sound happens most nights.
Oh, most nights.
But more on weekends than weekdays.
The neighbors have asked about it.
And us kids have been told by our parents that we have to go,
Oh yeah, don't know.
Must be just one of those things.
So they're hearing it in the roof, did you say? It's in the house.
In the house. Okay.
Yeah. And the neighbors are hearing it.
Yeah.
And it happens more on weekends than weeknights, but it happens most evenings.
Okay.
Would anyone like to place a guess?
Well, I think that immediately my mind goes to it being like a sexy thing,
but like, I think that that's probably where most people are going.
Um, but I really want to believe that it's like someone playing the drums.
Is that because I'm playing the table drums?
And it's like kind of leading me down that path.
Our garage has a beer fridge and that's a long way away from the lounge room.
My confession is that we have a beer chute in the house.
My dad built it out of PVC piping and encased it within the double brick walls,
within a little flap to conceal it.
So he pulls the cord and beer comes from the beer fridge up
in the garage,
like a can of beer,
through the walls and the cavities
and at a velocity shoots out to him on the couch
in the lounge room.
Our next door neighbor is a GP and mom always tries to like act healthy around him.
And you do don't you?
Oh, you know, just activating some almonds.
I'm out for a walk as I always do.
What are you doing this weekend?
We're off to the farmers market because we only get organic, obviously.
Yeah, and then probably for a quick 3k.
My mum would be devastated if our neighbors found out that we had a beer shoot.
It is a bit broken isn't it?
No judgement, but it is a bit broken.
She would never let us girls tell anyone.
It was like our little secret.
I've never told anyone until today.
When? I've never told anyone until today that from the garage through the middle of the double
brick house, cans of beer fly through, little grenades flying through the house.
I was first thinking like, oh, that bottles of beer.
I'm like, oh no.
Yeah, that would smash.
Too dangerous.
And then dad opens the can and it's probably like,
pshhh.
How does the can get into the chute?
Or are they like lined up in the pipe?
Do you know what I mean?
I think the top of the pipe might be the fridge at the top
and it must come out in the back of the bottom
through the little flaps.
So when he pulls the cord, like the flap opens
and they fall through the thing.
And then does the next one like roll forward or something?
It must. Yeah. Yeah, like a vending machine. You know how they always roll forward the thing. And then does the next one like roll forward or something? It must.
Yeah.
Like a vending machine.
You know how they always roll forward?
Yeah.
And then imagine my house,
cause you know the slope of the hill,
the garage is a bit higher than the lounge.
And so that's when I'm picturing this.
Oh, so you're doing some recon
for how you could do this at your house.
Well, I don't drink beer.
And if I did, we wouldn't leave it in the garage.
But I like the engineering.
It is crazy.
I just think though, what, like with the restocking that still would have to happen.
Yeah. But you can restock like weekly once and then just really settle in.
Yeah. Yeah. That's true.
Pull this cord.
I mean, it does sound like a fun gimmick that you could have friends over.
And then do you know what I would want though?
If there was one for beer, I'd want the one next to it to be for a can of diet
coke or like a juice box or something.
Yeah, I get it.
And then you could, you got alcoholic or non-alcoholic and pull whichever
cord, you know, made sense.
And that's like the mature responsible thing to do.
Yeah.
You don't know where your friends are up to.
They haven't another kid.
Oh, let's have a diet coke.
Oh, pull this cord.
And you go, okay.
Maybe you've got one for sparkling water.
Yeah. Although you don't like cord. And you go, okay. Maybe you've got one for sparkling water. Yeah.
Although you don't like that.
I don't, but.
All right.
We're going to go around the room.
I say like there's 50 of us here.
There's three of us on the spot.
What is one gimmick you would love in a house?
I would love there to be like a secret room that you enter when you pull the book.
Oh, yeah.
You know, like the secret door.
Yeah.
I think that would be just like, and like, it doesn't have to be like, you know,
you'd be a little bit silly here and let me know what you're thinking in today's
episode thread, because I, when I see that I go, oh, that's crazy.
And I go, well, yeah, but you can just do it.
It's your hat, you know?
Yeah.
So similar kind of energy.
Have you seen those kitchens where one of the island benches
like swings out and it reveals like a cellar downstairs? Oh, no, I've seen it when they swing
out and it's like a DJ deck or whatever. Yeah. No, no, no. So it's like an opening with a slide.
And then it isn't a slide because then you would need stairs back up somewhere.
That's later Ryan's problem.
Yeah.
That's deal with that later.
Yeah.
Nah, I would love that.
And then downstairs is like recording studio stuff.
Yeah.
You could do that at your house.
But like that's the IRA.
I would love that.
That would be sick.
Sophie, anything come to mind?
Um, I think I would love a bench where if you like press it at a certain point, like a PowerPoint pops out.
Oh, that's cool. That is cool. That is fucking cool.
We have that in the back of our booth. You like pop the thing up.
Yeah. Yeah. That's really cool.
Hidden PowerPoints.
Yeah. Hidden PowerPoints. We're like, that's the simplest of all of them. And it got the biggest reaction.
That's the most impressive. Yeah. All right. We've had our feel good confession.
Now everyone put on your fucking has man suits because shit's getting weird.
Okay.
Has man.
What was it?
Has Matt like hazardous material.
Oh, that makes sense.
Yeah.
A Tinder date, got a blood nose and fainted into my pussy.
We went out for dinner and he kept touching his nose and he said,
oh, sometimes I get a blood nose when I'm nervous.
And I actually thought it was really cute that he was nervous for our date
and we cared and he was sort of, he goes, oh, I'm sorry if I get a blood nose later,
it's just because I'm nervous.
So I just let me know.
Like, it's just a little thing.
I think that's quite sweet.
And also honest.
Very honest.
Like being like, look, I'm really sorry, cause you could hide that and get really defensive about it.
Like he's like.
Yeah.
Or like, do you need a tissue?
You know, when someone just keeps sniffing,
you're like, hi, can I help you?
Do you need to go blow your nose?
Yeah, everything all good.
We went back to my place, the lights were off
and he was down there.
And I was like, wow.
I don't want to read this line.
I just feel so, yeah.
I felt a bit more wet than normal.
And I thought that was hot.
Originally like at the start.
Well, yeah, cause you're like getting into it and whatever, having fun.
But then it felt really wet.
I turned the lights on and his nose had bled all over my waist, my legs, my like everywhere
was his blood.
And because he didn't realize that his nose was bleeding because it was dark and he's
busy, once I'd flick the lights on, then he'd seen all the blood.
And then like, cause he's up close to the blood, he's seen it and fainted right there
face first.
Like he was trying.
I don't want to read this sentence. And fainted right there face first. Like he was trying.
I don't want to read this sentence.
Is it something about spelunking?
No.
Like cave dive into the Pussoir.
It was like.
Reverse birth.
He was trying to use a rhubarb pie as a snorkel.
What?
I don't get it.
Oh, there was a lot of blood in his face was just unconscious, like in there.
Oh, and he was unconscious. So she was just laying there like, well, you'd be like, are you okay?
Like you'd be like trying to.
He didn't come to you for now.
She says for a few minutes.
Nah, nah, it would have felt like an eternity, but it wouldn't have been that long.
She said it felt like a long, like more than just like, just like, oh, he's unconscious.
And she was like, oh, I'm just lying here in a pool of blood with a guy unconscious.
I think we need to add a little detail there with a guy she just met.
First date.
So it's not, you know, someone that you're like, Oh, this always happens.
You go like, you literally have no idea.
Can you know when you're with someone, you go, Oh, they're always like, you know,
it always ends up being fine.
You go, um, do I need to call your mom?
Yeah.
Like, is there an emergency contact on your Tinder profile to contact in an emergency?
And that is a really good idea.
That is a great idea. What a power play.
Everyone sometime this weekend say, do you need me to call your mother?
Please don't.
Except for don't make it, Tony.
But just what a power play.
Imagine like even like with the Tinder date and the boys like something happens or
fucking. Do you want me to call your parents?
Are you okay? Yeah, what?
So have you, you know that sensation when you wake up and you don't know where you are? Yeah, like after a nap and you're like, what year is it?
What year is it? Or even like if you stay at a hotel or a friend's house,
you kind of wake up and go, hey, this is my bed. Where am I?
Oh yes.
And you kind of like, I don't know.
Just for a moment, you're like, hang on.
What? So this guy wakes up, you know, just for a moment, you're like, hang on.
So this guy wakes up, you know, and just goes from, and he's,
he would be so embarrassed. Yeah.
You would be, you'd be like, I feel so bad about this.
He woke up a few minutes later, he had a shower and left and I never saw him again.
He was so embarrassed.
That's such a shame.
That is a shame.
That is a shame.
Oh, that's really sad. Yeah. is a shame. That is a shame. Oh, that's really sad.
Yeah.
And she doesn't have a beer shoot.
And she's like, I now have to wash all my sheets.
Yeah.
That would be the real tragedy.
She's like, where am I going to sleep tonight?
My bed is covered in someone else's blood.
Yeah.
Which is pretty fucked.

Brendan Lau Meyer.
Good on you, Brendan.
Whitney Daly, daily podcast.
Jenna Fantastic unicorn emoji.
Don't know if that's on the passport, but I respect it.
Do we read, do we say the word emoji?
Well, I think we cowboy emoji we do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I also just feel like it's part of the name and I would hate to disrespect
Jennifer and Tass.
Yeah.
Unicorn emoji is a name.
Jodie Pascoe, good on you, Jodes.
Octavio Pavoa and Bex Groose.
Absolutely love to see you guys.
Thank you so much for being here.
Can't do it without you.
Absolutely love to see you guys. Thank you so much for being here.
Can't do it without you.
When you die, do you think that they should use your like legal name or
whatever your profile name was at the time and whatever emojis was attached to it?
That's what the person should use at the ceremony.
I think if you're an emoji person, you're probably keen on using the emojis.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
And I just love to see a priest be like, and Stephanie unicorn emoji always said.
Always said.
Yeah. I quite like that.
Yeah.
And maybe by then they'll be AI.
So it's like Stephanie unicorn emoji.
I love the robot voice.
Do you want that at your funeral?
Nah.
What if I do the eulogy, but I read it in a robot voice?
You would not give my eulogy.
Why not?
As if you would.
What?
You, you firing me. You don't.
A firing you.
I think you have to be hired first.
Oh, would you even want to?
I'm out of a job apparently.
Is more what I meant.
Um, well, I just assume.
I'll just take the mark guy.
I'll do a top five.
Okay.
Warm the crowd up.
Before they cool you down. Yeah.
Before I'm cold in the ground.
Great.
Okay.
Who would you want to do the eulogy?
I actually have never thought about it.
Would Torbz do it?
Um, who'd give you a better performance between me and Torbz?
Well, I think it would be really different because he would be talking about me from
a different perspective to how you would be talking about me. You'd be talking about the back of my head.
Oh, that was such a dirty laugh. I'll do you justice.
I'll do you justice. So, I made about- Will you speak at my funeral?
Absolutely. If Bridget would want that, like it's more just that like, not everybody just
gets to get up and say something and I wouldn't disrespect her wishes.
This my funeral, not hers.
But she can make her plans for her funeral.
Okay.
This is my day.
Oh, so you're going to plan it before you die.
This is my day.
This is actually something that we need to talk about in the very near future.
Okay.
Yeah. Why something? Am I about to get offed? Okay. Sorry. Enjoy your holiday.
Let me think about this. We'll come back to it another time. So our mate of ours, Charles, who
everybody would recognize, he helped us out on the Tarpathon. He's done a few bits and pieces for us,
for the show. And he's actually moving down to Melbourne. So he's kind of been chatting with
us about being like, Oh yeah, like where about should I live and things like that. And we have
a bit of a group chat and then separately from the group chat, he texts me directly and said,
Hey, like I've just applied for an apartment. Would it be okay if I gave them your info to
be a reference? Hmm.
And immediately I text back, right?
And I was like, absolutely, whatever you need.
Because that is like how you respond when people ask you to do things.
I just say yes.
Would you?
As you know.
Not that it's a competition.
Here we go.
I don't want to fight with you today.
So who do you think speaks to Charles more between the two of us?
Probably you.
So when I learned about this reference chat, I don't know.
I think he won't be speaking at my funeral.
I think you need to won't be speaking at my funeral.
I think you need to take that up with him.
I'm not taking it up with you.
I'm just bringing it up.
But I'm just saying.
In general.
Okay.
I'm just saying.
I wasn't like, well, if you need a reference, you call me.
Well, I actually spoke to Charles this morning and he said, I asked Tony who's better.
And she said that Tony is better and fuck Ryan.
Redacted. That didn't happen. Redact that. Thank you. And he said, I asked Tony who's better. And she said that Tony is better and fuck Ryan.
Redacted that didn't happen.
Redact that. It didn't happen.
You did at the start of the year say that you wanted to be someone's emergency
contact and that was like a goal.
I wanted to be a good emergency contact.
Be good at it and be worthy of it and be someone that people looked at and go, yes,
I trust Tony in my time of need.
It's the reliability. Yeah. I think that I was like, would people consider me a good, like would people go, yes, I trust Tony in my time of need. It's the reliability.
Yeah.
I think that I was like, would people consider me a good, like would people go,
I'll give Tony a ring, she'll know what to do.
Actually during the tarpathon, Charles was working at the time when we had this chat.
So maybe this is where he got incepted from.
I don't know.
Yeah.
And he probably saw that and goes, you know what, Tony is good.
And so he asked me if I would be an emergency contact, not an emergency
contact, sorry, a reference for him to get this apartment.
And I was like, yep, absolutely.
Then I was telling you guys that after he asked me that I said, yes, of course,
but then kind of did some self reflecting.
I was like, I never answered my phone.
And the reason I do never answer my phone is cause so I was a scam these days.
Every time you answer it's like, hello, this is Amazon.
You have been charged $50 or whatever.
And I'm like, I can't be dealing with that when I'm, I'm busy.
We've all got things on.
I can't be busy to be scammed today.
I just hate it on the weekend.
Anyway.
And so you worded me up in no uncertain terms saying like, you have to answer the phone because like, he's relying on you.
And I think that as you just explained, you were maybe a little bit hurt that I got the call up and I didn't want to let Charles down.
I wasn't hurt, I was just disappointed.
I think a bit surprised.
Very surprised.
Yeah.
I believe that gasped.
And you were like, you have to answer, like you have to answer your phone.
And I was like, no, this is a really good note.
You're right.
And so, um, not long after that, I left the office.
I was like, yeah, I'm just going to go and fucking I'm heading home.
I leave the office and I'm in the car.
I'm driving my car and my phone rings.
And I'm in the car, I'm driving my car and my phone rings. And it is like a landline.
And I'm like, here we go.
This is it.
Oh, this is the reference call.
This is it.
And I'm like, well, you've just told me that I've got to answer my phone.
Like this is Kizma.
It's meant to be.
He's ringing right now.
It's happening.
The phone rings.
I'm like, yeah, here we go.
Hello, Tony Lodge speaking.
Very professional.
Very professional. Well, that's actually how I always answer the phone.
Because you are professional.
And they go, yes, hi, Tony, do you have a moment to chat? I go, yes, I do. How can I help you?
All the time in the world for Charles.
Exactly right. I'm like, yeah, oh, good. And like, she goes, yes, well, it's Vanessa from OPSM in Carousell.
So the eye optometrist in Perth.
Western Australia.
It's an interesting place for Charles to rent out considering he's moving to Melbourne.
Yeah.
Interested in commercial property.
I guess.
And she goes, yep.
Um, we see you overdue for your eye test here.
Would you like to book in for this week?
How overdue are you?
Probably about eight years.
And so I'm kind of like doing the maths and I'm like, oh, but I went to an OPSM
in Vic Garden, so I'm obviously back in the system and maybe that's why the WA
one's gotten a ping and being like, oh no, like she's due now.
I don't know.
I'm kind of doing this maths in my head being like, this is why I don't answer the phone.
I'm being put on the spot.
I'm in the car at this exact moment.
The car in front of me, it's a blue Ford Falcon.
The car in front of me starts pissing smoke out the back of it.
What the fuck?
Pissing smoke.
Like it looked like it was on fire.
I've got Vanessa on the phone and then the bonnet of the car in front of me, this blue
Ford Falcon flies up and the guy has to mount the curb and get off the road.
What the fuck?
Hang on.
Can I ask you a question?
Question.
Are you sure you really saw this or do you need your eyes checked?
Just for safety reasons, I'd like to let everybody know that I now go to Bailey Nelson.
So like I'm all good. I just haven't been there to get my eyes tested.
You haven't got your eyes tested for a while. You know, some people after a while,
they start like seeing smoke and bonnets flying up and all.
I'm fine Vanessa, because I've just seen a unicorn very clearly and I'm fine.
Yeah. Okay. No, so I've gotten my eye tested recently, just not on a PSN.
Anyway, the bonnet literally flies open.
This guy mounts the curb.
It was crazy.
And anyway, she's like Tony, can we book you in?
And I go, yep, sounds great.
Thank you so much.
So. so much. So, so we're going to Perth.
Sounds like I have an appointment to get my eyes tested at the OBSM in Carousel in
Perth in WA. And I now live in Victoria. I've lived here for six years or something.
It's a four hour flight. Yeah. So when, when is it?
I don't know. She's like, we'll send you an email with all the details.
Yeah.
Are you still at Tony Lodge 69 at hotmail.com?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's, that sounds perfect.
So all I guess the lesson here is that I'm maybe not a good reference person because
this is what happens.
Just absolute chaos.
But literally this guy, like his car fucking exploded.
That's well, I also do you reckon other
toppers have ever like, it's just easier to say yes.
100. This is exactly what I was just like.
I think that's how Sophie has a time share.
Some guy at the supermarket was like, you want a time show?
And you're like, no, and he's like, why not?
And you're like, it's a great question actually.
Just fucking sign up.
Your hands full of your toilet paper and your bananas.
And you go, yep, sounds great.
Like, give me a call.
But literally that's what happened because I just couldn't figure out in my mind how to say like,
I don't live there anymore.
I now go to a different opt, that just felt like too much in that single moment.
Yeah. And you're busy dodging smoke and flying bonnets
and shit. There's like things going on.
And then, so did you have to like swerve this guy?
Did you stop and-
No, so he like-
Mounts himself. Mounted the bonnet.
Mounted the bonnet. Mounted the curb.
And what you just-
And his mate just like ran out of the car,
put the bonnet back down and they drove off.
So I slowed down and stopped.
There wasn't many cars around,
but I slowed down and kind of stopped and like looked over,
but they were together and they looked chill.
So they weren't like freaking out.
So I was like, okay,
well they obviously don't need anyone to stop.
It didn't look like it was the first time that it happened.
If a guy's just like knocking it back down and they carried on, I reckon that's happened seven times in the last two weeks.
You know, so I think that they were hopefully, I'm hoping that they were on their way to a garage or something.
Not too invested in the conversation that you didn't still have your like, you know.
With my wits about me. Yeah.
Because I was like, oh, hang on. So really, I mean, it's a testament to how good a driver I am.
Hang on. So really, I mean, it's a testament to how good a driver I am.
But that's what I get, you know?
And I would just like to say that in the end, no one called me, but they did call Charles and said, we've done all your reference checks and like, looks good mate. All good.
Really?
They didn't call me.
Maybe they were testing and it was Vanessa.
That's just how they test her.
Maybe.
Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Yeah.
Yeah, maybe.
So, yeah.
So he's got the place?
I don't know.
But he said that the last contact he'd had from them was like,
yeah, we've done all our checks.
And he went, did they call you?
And I was like, no, but something else did happen.
Question, are any other tarpas moving to Melbourne?
And would you like Tony to be
your reference or are you retiring?
Okay.
Very quick admin chat.
Yeah.
I just don't want people to have my number because then what more people are going to
call me and I obviously can't answer that.
Yeah.
But then that will change the ratio of scam to not scam.
That's true.
That is true.
That is a really good point. It's improving the quality of call.
Yeah, I mean, maybe.
Oh, you can see that.
I got to love to see it here.
Yes.
What do you got?
Well, it's not being trusted by Charles to be a reference.
No, you can't hold that against me.
I didn't do it.
You would be my reference.
I have been your reference.
Yeah. I was a reference for your job.
Yeah. The good one.
The good one.
And the bad one.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Wow.
No, I will take it up with Charles.
Yeah.
He's not here for me to fucking have it out with him.
Because he didn't get that house because I didn't answer the phone.
Yeah.
He doesn't have anywhere to live.
He lives at the OPSM in Carousell now.
Vanessa is lovely though.
He'd be so lucky.
Yeah.
And they cook together.
And that's nice.
Yeah.
Winter is setting in in the Northern Hemisphere.
It's heating up.
It's getting nice here in Melbourne.
Summer's here.
But in the Northern Hemisphere, it's getting cold.
It's getting gloomy.
And Tapa Amy has sent through this picture of her local subway.
And it says, I'll show it to you here.
Our subs are 12 inches, even when it's cold.
Oh.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
And don't you love to see that?
You do love to see that.
Yeah, Topical.
Topical.
References the product.
References the weather.
Yeah.
The current climate.
Yeah, nah, it's sitting in a lot of spots there.
So I don't know what subway it is.
It's just in the Northern Hemisphere somewhere and fucking get around that.
I love to see it.
Yeah.
As an avid subway fan, I like to see that.
That's very good.
Yeah.
I've got a love to see here from Courtney Santa Maria, who sent this in Patreon.
And she wanted to share a little bit of girl math involving the podcast.
Please.
Courtney says, I'm in Arizona in the US and I get your guys' episodes a day early.
So if we release a podcast, like on Monday, she gets it on Sunday afternoon kind of
thing.
Perfection.
And Courtney says, but I always listen before work.
So in my mind on Mondays, I listen to the Monday episode before work, but Tuesday's
come out the same day.
So I get a bonus episode on a Monday.
So it means that on my least favorite day of the week,
on a Monday, I get two EPs of the podcast.
What happens on Friday?
Okay, we're not talking about Friday.
Okay, okay, okay.
Yeah.
We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
I know it's not really a bonus episode, lol,
but in my mind it's the equivalent of finding cash in a pocket. Free money.
And I've always said that. That is good.
That is good. That's good girl. That is good. That is good girl. Thank you for sharing that, Courtney.
Tomorrow on the show. Taffas have sent through things that are happening on their street.
Tafas have sent through things that are happening on their street. We're getting into the local nitty gritty.
This feels very like soap opera-y, like home and away, like what's going on in the street,
you know, like neighbors, they're all on the same street, there's things going on.
When you hear the underground black market that's going on in a tapas street.
I'll give you three guesses about what product is being moved in her street on the black
market.
Um, yes it now.
Yep.
Um, oh well drugs.
Nope.
What about like Tupperware on NutriMedics or something?
No, but I like that energy.
The energy.
Ooh, puppies, a puppy mill.
Very close, but no.
That's sad though.
Okay, you're telling me tomorrow?
I have to wait.
Fuck!
Maybe I should tell you now.
Off air chat, did I guess too close to the sun
and now it's like fucked a bit?
No.
I'm really sorry if that's the case.
I'm so good at guessing.
No, oh wait, I'm going to wait.
Are you sure?
I'm going to wait.
I'm going to wait.
Okay.
Okay.
Oh.
Batapas are living some wild lives guys.
Oh.
Good and bad.
Um, all right.
Well, I can't wait to hear that.
Love you.
Bye.
Bye bye bye.
Bye bye bye.
