Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Author Tony Lodge. Hello, Ryan. It's Tony. Fuck. It's going to be a long day. It's going to be a long day. We are calling Sarah, who is from Melbourne. Sarah in Melbourne. And she has one of the great side hustles going on. An accountant. No, no, no. Close on, I think.
Starting point is 00:00:23 Different. Different kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hello? Sarah! It's Tony and Ryan. How are you doing? Hi, guys.
Starting point is 00:00:31 How are you? We're very well, Sarah. What are you up to? Oh, I'm just at work in the office today. All right. Well, are you at work or are you at work? No, she's not one of those. Sorry, Sarah.
Starting point is 00:00:42 I said that you have a cool side hustle and Tony's just assumed you're a stripper. You sound hot. I'm assuming that you are a stripper. Can you please tell us what your side hustle is? I am hot. I am hot. My side hustle is I bake cookies and do chocolate bar wrappers for events, corporate events and social events,
Starting point is 00:01:02 birthday parties and weddings and stuff. Chocolate bars. So I've got a little Instagram account and yeah. Give yourself a shout out. I love that shit. Oh, so it's Sweets by Sezzy on Instagram. Thanks guys. Ryan loves alliteration, Sarah. So you've won him over immediately. What I want to know, Sarah, I've got a technical question. With the chocolate wrappers, what bars are you putting those around?
Starting point is 00:01:29 So milk chocolate or white chocolate or dark chocolate. What brand? What are you rocking? Or is that a trade secret? Or do you make them or do you just wrap them? I wrap them. I buy the chocolate. I won't disclose my source. But I make the shortbread, fondant shortbreads from scratch.
Starting point is 00:01:43 That is my grandmother's recipe. Grandma's recipe. Grandma's and shortbreads from scratch. That is my grandmother's recipe. Grandma's recipe. Grandma and shortbreads are my favourites. They are. You've really won, Ryan, over alliteration, the shortbreads. What are you doing tonight, Sez? Sez, you sweethearts, shortbreads, that's for you. Yeah, check your DM, sweetheart.
Starting point is 00:01:58 That's all you. Guys, you guys are in Melbourne. I'm in Melbourne. I'm going to bake you some and bring them in. Get the fuck out. That sounds unreal. Wrap us some chocolates, Sarah. Yeah. You know what I'm in Melbourne. I'm going to bake you some and bring them in. Get the fuck out. That sounds unreal. Wrap us some chocolate, Sarah. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I'll strip the fucking wrapper
Starting point is 00:02:09 off. That's what I'll do. My side hustle will be a strip off. As much as I'm salivating for multiple reasons, can someone please remind us we're on a podcast right now? Oh, yeah, yeah. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Well, Sarah, will you approve today's episode? Is that okay? I'd love to, guys. Thank you so much for asking me. Oh, you're welcome me oh you said you were going
Starting point is 00:02:26 to bring in chocolate which is really one of the starting the clock hey it's sarah from melbourne and i approve this podcast Tony, play some epic music. Oh, hang on, hang on. I'm DJ Tony Lodge. Spin that shit. We can't play it very long because of copyright reasons. I was more thinking like a Oh. Like a Oh. Ladies and gentlemen of the
Starting point is 00:03:11 TARP community. It is time for Coincidence Chat. My favourite segment. It all started when I genuinely asked for some coincidences that were interesting. Turns out no coincidences are interesting,
Starting point is 00:03:36 but it's hilarious when people think they're interesting and send through the lamest, shittest coincidences ever. And tarpers now know the joke and they've come to the party. Yeah, see, I think this is the main thing is that it's in the name. It's Coincidence Chat. It's all shit. It's all shit. It's all good, though.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Tarpers. This is exactly what we want. Does this name ring a bell? Jessica Lynn. Oh, yeah. Big JL. Well, it turns out there's a bit of a conspiracy. Oh, is that the coincidence?
Starting point is 00:04:03 Oh, you know the name. Well, it actually is. But there's actually a conspiracy about why that's such a familiar name in the group. Oh. Tarpa Jessica Lynn has the same name as another tarpa. Any guesses? God, it's not Jessica Long, is it?
Starting point is 00:04:21 No, it's Jessica Lynn and they both have dogs. Jessica Lynn and they both have dogs. And if you want to see the comment thread where they found each other, it's actually quite beautiful and wholesome. That does sound. Did they find each other on the coincidence chat thread? Because that's even better. Was it? I'm not sure.
Starting point is 00:04:40 But wouldn't that just be the trifecta? But you see Jessica Lynn tagging it. Jessica Lynn can be like, oh, my God, have you got the same name as me? I'm like, well, clearly she does. But then I was like, we hear from Jessica Lynn all the time, but no wonder because there's multiple of them. There's a high concentration of them. And then one of them goes, we have the same name, coincidence chat.
Starting point is 00:04:57 And then the other one said, I just looked at your profile. We both have dogs. You're joking. That's all in the top, Ruby. group that's insane got an incredible story here from the good side of reservoir we'll decide anonymous says uh the children that used to live in my house have the same name as my dog and a guy from work how crazy you've done this as a coincidence before on the chat is that the coincidence chat what is the coincidence chat that you've done this as a coincidence before on the chat. Is that the coincidence chat? What? Is the coincidence chat that you've done this before?
Starting point is 00:05:28 You've done... I don't out anonymous stories. Okay. Caitlin, I listened to the episode about Tony's Pilates studio being next to the pizza place. Yes. Well, there's a Pilates place next to my pizza place, says Caitlin. I tried the Pilates and that shit's too hard for me
Starting point is 00:05:48 with the pizza next door fucking rules. Is it the same one? Is that the coincidence chart? I don't think so. But how many Pilates places are next to pizza places in this planet? In this planet? Yeah. Oh, God, you're really opening up the scope.
Starting point is 00:06:00 It must be at least seven. At least. Now, this is controversial. Sarah. Sarah says, this is controversial. Sarah. Sarah says, I'm backing this in. This is a legitimately pretty sick coincidence. Yeah. We'll be the judge of that.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Okay. We had an electrician due to come around at midday, and at midday I get a call from my cousin who lives over an hour and away, and I only see and speak to her a few times a year at family things. We're that close. I answer the phone and she's like, are you home? The electrician's going to be there any minute.
Starting point is 00:06:33 And I'm confused as fuck, says Sarah. And I'm like, why? What? Have you called the right person? And the cousin goes, Sarah? And she goes, yeah. Are you home for the electrician? She goes sarah and she goes yeah are you hopefully electrician she goes yeah she goes okay great and hangs up and she's like what the fuck is going on here hang on so she was expecting an electrician it turns out my cousin's new roommate
Starting point is 00:06:57 has the same first and middle name as me and we had both booked an electrician on the very same day what are the fucking chances? That's pretty good. And so the cousin was trying to call the housemate. Yeah. So they've typed Sarah into the phone. Yeah. There she is.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Great. Same first and middle name. Gone. You all good for the electrician? And she's like, yeah. Why are you? She goes, great. Just wanted to double check.
Starting point is 00:07:20 All good. And don't you reckon the cousin was just like, can you stop fucking around? Like, are you home or not? Yeah. But the cousin's like, what? But here's what we And don't you reckon the cousin was just like, can you stop fucking around? Like, are you home or not? Yeah. But the cousin's like, what? What? But here's what we still don't know. What?
Starting point is 00:07:29 Was the roommate home? And was it the same electrician? Well, you'd hope not if they're both booked in for midday and are at different towns. But they just give you a window, don't they, sometimes? Maybe they were complaining of travelling. You know what? Fuck those guys.
Starting point is 00:07:44 You never know. It's like the bin man all over again. Is it the same guy doing all of them? Caitlin has sent me a DM. Hi, Caitlin. Coincidence chat. The actor who played Wilson in Castaway was also in the volleyball scene in Top Gun that Tony talks about all the time.
Starting point is 00:07:57 That is funny because Wilson's just a little volleyball. That's very good. That's very good. That's very good. He's got a lot of work. Ali says, I'm a tarpon, but my husband isn't. And last night- Is that the coincidence? You'll never believe it.
Starting point is 00:08:14 I listen to a podcast and my husband doesn't. Crazy. Last night I mentioned I had a sore throat, and my husband looks at me suggestively and goes, I'll give you a sore throat. He goes, I've got a remedy for that. You've got a cause for that? So Ali goes, yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:08:30 Oh, I know where this is heading. And the husband goes, a little mouthful of population paste? I gasped. Surely this was no coincidence. Where did you hear that? I demanded. I demanded. You know that chicken, that Where did you hear that? I demanded. I demanded. You know, that chicken, that dude who you listen to?
Starting point is 00:08:52 And then Ali goes, you know, Tony and Ryan, I thought my heart might burst. No, I don't listen to the podcast, but I watch those reels. Did you hear what she said to the guy from Ikea? Real Tony and Ryan heavy coincidence, which, you know, obviously wins it for me. Imagine though if somebody hadn't heard the podcast and said population paced by choice.
Starting point is 00:09:15 At least you'd know to divorce them or, you know, not suck their dick ever again. Is it a coincidence that my husband mentions the Tony and Ryan podcast and gets his dick sucked on the same night? Is that a coincidence or is that just where we're at in life? Only one of those ever happens in my house. And which one is it? Why don't you talk about work at home?
Starting point is 00:09:37 Hey, it's Sarah from Melbourne and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout-out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon. Kelly Baker, good on you, Kelly. Rhian Zahn, Molly Dunn. Your sister, Molly, a long-lost sister. Trevor Scott. Good on you, Trevor. And Hayley Smith. Absolutely love to see it.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Thank you very much for being part of our Patreon and hopefully you'll join us this weekend. We're getting close. We're getting very close. Friday night, European time. Yep. And American time. Yep.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Saturday early morning. I still reckon it's 4.24, not 3.24. I think it is too. Yeah. No, 5.24. There was chat about 3.24 in the internal group chat. Yeah. I don't think that's right.
Starting point is 00:10:33 No. I think that's what Channel 9 would like you to believe so you tuned in earlier. That might be right for someone, but I'll be waking up later than that. Yeah. You guys start live streaming without me. Are we prepared to just lock in a 4 a.m. start? Start.
Starting point is 00:10:46 For us? Live streaming at 4. Because I reckon the opening ceremony starts at 4.24 our time. Yeah, right. And no one's brave enough to lock in a time. That's fucking early. Yeah. I thought this whole time was 5.24 and I thought, well,
Starting point is 00:11:03 5's pretty palatable. 4.24 is rough, isn't it? Because if we're going live at 4, we have to wake up. Like 3.57. Yeah, which is a 3 in front of it is like brutal. Yeah. And if we're having a sleepover the night before, I think. So I'll be up excited.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Yeah, we'll all be excited. We'll all be busying in our little bonnets, you know. But I think 4 a.m melbourne time all right ast 4 a.m lock it in lock it in eddie someone fucking write that down yeah if anybody asks me again what time it's starting fucking right off um a question's come through on patreon yes does anything that's said and done during the Tarpathon count towards Tony Bingo? And for those of you new in the game, at the start of the year we set up Tony Bingo about things that Tony would say or do throughout the year.
Starting point is 00:11:55 Yep. And we got off to a pretty hot start and I think we're like out of the 16, there's still three or four to go. Is that all? Yeah. Oh. And I reckon if we include Tarpathon, we'll get pretty good. There's one you won't get, but there's the others will be in play.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Well, I feel like even though I don't want it to be included. Yeah. Because I don't want to think about another thing. Yeah. But also you've included things that haven't happened on the podcast. Oh, what? In the jeans thing. Didn't you tell me that that was podcast. Oh, what? In the jeans thing. Didn't you tell me that that was a-
Starting point is 00:12:27 Oh, yeah, that was on camera. That counts. I wore jeans to the office on a day we weren't recording and you filmed me on your phone. Yeah. What are you wearing now on the bottom half? Huh? What are you wearing now on the bottom half?
Starting point is 00:12:37 Linen pants. Oh, okay. So I don't know if that counts, but I think we didn't recheck. Did that get crossed off? For the jeans? The jeans that get crossed off? For the live, for the jeans. The jeans will get crossed off, yeah. I said, I asked people if they think it counts and everyone said yes. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Yeah, okay. If we wanted to be included in the live stream, should I just not talk during the live stream then just to make sure that I don't fuck myself? Nah, I don't think that's what people signed up for. And heaven forbid I have to talk to fucking no one for 40 hours. Nah, I'll be there with you, mate. Just to listen.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Yeah. She's such a great listener. I've just got my mouth taped like those girls. Like, have you seen on TikTok? I was going to say, because we're boring off air chat, we've been talking about humidifiers in the bedroom. Yeah, we have. Not a euphemism.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Nah, the genuine, boring, literal humidifier. Or something that'll fucking drain you in the bedroom yeah we have not a euphemism now the genuine boring literal humidifier something that'll fucking drain you in the bedroom yeah it's dehydration we went in different directions yeah sometimes we're on the same page yeah but no i have seen a lot of tiktok about like yeah i tape my mouth yeah i have a glass of water and tape my mouth and then i'm like that just i feel like i'd wake up and I'm in a basement. Because I know why nose breathing is better for you or whatever. I feel like you've been kidnapped. It just feels so stressful to me. Also, I feel like the tape on your mouth would like... You'd have a rash, like patch rash.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Yeah, it would give me like a little reaction, I think. I mean, you'd wax your mo for free every morning, which I could probably, I wouldn't mind. Well, if I got in my Tennessee glory hole on the weekend and I come back with like a red mouth and go, oh, did you use the tape? And I go, oh, yeah. Oh, you go, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Next question. Question.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Because we're not an official broadcaster of the Schmill Olympics, we have been avoiding saying the O word. We definitely won't be streaming any sporting content. We'll be watching it, but you won't see what we're watching. But you've got your own TV for that. And if you're in the US, I'm assuming NBC and Peacock have got 57 channels. It'll be on all the apps. It'll be streaming.
Starting point is 00:14:40 It'll be live. So you can watch along with us, but we won't actually have it on there because we're not an official partner. We're not allowed to, yeah. Now, here's what I'm proposing. Also, the tech chart of luck, you know, fuck that. Oh, who fucking, yeah. Here's what I'm proposing.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Tony. Once Australia wins gold, we'll obviously like celebrate. Yes. So it's not like they win gold and the thing shuts off. Yes. We'll celebrate. Yep. Then it's not like they win gold and the thing shuts off. Yes. We'll celebrate. Yep. Then we will record Monday's episode.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Monday's podcast. So we'll do that on the stream so you can watch it. You'll watch us recording it live and that's like what you'll hear on Monday morning. Yeah, because heaven forbid we're not like once I go to sleep after the thing, that's fucking it. Oh, yeah, nah. We need to talk about that as well.
Starting point is 00:15:21 How many days off can I have after? Asking for Sophieie who's head of hr me oh see you in september so after we win gold yep we record monday's episode yep and then we get to go to bed thank fucking god we do one extra minute for every time the O word is said during the tarp-a-thon. On the screen, there'll be a counter, an O word counter. So every time the O word is said, it gets added to the thing. So if it slips out four or five times, yo, four or five minutes on the back end, all good.
Starting point is 00:16:01 If Tony gets on a rampage, who fucking knows? If guests come in, I believe we can now confirm 100% that Tim that tim will be here yeah because i was talking to him on the phone yesterday added ryan into school we did a three-way call was very 1997 i absolutely loved it he's gonna come down um he's definitely gonna fuck us he will fuck us a hundred percent yeah yeah he'll give us an o-word So what- It does include other people and you can't do it deliberately. I don't think it can include other people. I think it has to be us. No, but that's like when people rock up because, you know, there's people coming and going.
Starting point is 00:16:33 We've got helpers. Franco will be here. Jane will be here. I don't want to yell at anyone. And I will. I was about to say you don't have to yell. I can't control it. I can't control it.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Especially after no sleep. Yeah, Tony. Oh, no, but- So do you. I can't control it. Especially after no sleep. Yeah, Tony. Oh, no. So do you. We both get grumpy. Like we both got grumpy in the last one because you just get a little bit like you need to find your energy again. Yeah, but we're very different grumpy types.
Starting point is 00:16:55 I'd say I'm a traditional grumpy, which is just like grumpy. But Tony can be like just zero to 100. I just get a, yeah, I do. Like my fuse shortens.ens yes i think he's like like i'm fine until i'm not i would say that that's pretty fair yeah no that is fair and because i would say i'd just be a general grump yeah whereas you'd be like turning it on doing a great job and then you just and then i'd cut someone yeah but do you know what's good that we found in the last tarpathon yeah is when you were here, like when I was down,
Starting point is 00:17:27 you were like, Tony's not feeling great at the moment. I'm going to fucking bring us back. And then when you started to drop, I went, it's my turn now. I'm going to keep us going. So what I'm thinking, though, is I would like to limit the O word mentions just to us. That's my proposition. to limit the O word mentions just to us.
Starting point is 00:17:44 That's my proposition. However, because as you know, I did a. What are you fucking now? What's happening? Jeez. I'll let you figure out what I was going to say. I'm just going to reword what I was going to say in real time. Okay. Do you want us to cut that out?
Starting point is 00:18:04 No, no, because I reckon people will figureword what I was going to say in real time. Okay. Do you want us to cut that out? No, no. Because I reckon people will figure out what I was going to say and just the order of the words just didn't sound right. You know when you're at university and you can like major in something? Yes? Yeah. Yeah, and you can minor in. So a major is like you might do eight electives in whatever.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Yeah. And you can minor in something which I think is four. Yeah. majors like you might do eight electives in whatever yeah and you can minor in something which i think is four yeah so this is why i want to get to legal chat because i did two fucking electives 15 years ago so let me fucking okay law units yeah law units just because we decided that it only includes us doesn't mean all the legalities go away from actually mentioning the o word on a broadcast. Oh.
Starting point is 00:18:47 See what I mean? NBC pulls us in and goes, you're not an official partner. And we go, oh, no, but we decided it was just the two of us. Oh, fuck, I see what you're saying. NBC's not going to give a fuck about that. It's not just, fuck, you've come prepared, law units. Yeah. I think that you're right, actually.
Starting point is 00:19:07 You have actually come prepared because you knew that I was going to say, no, it should just be us. No, I actually just thought that. But it's actually a really good point. This is for legal reasons. We can't say the O word on the stream. We actually can't. What did she call me?
Starting point is 00:19:23 Well, I mean, if we do, we'll be penalised. So that's the deterrent. Yeah. Okay, all right, so no O word from anyone. And you know what? If anybody else says it, because they don't have to do extra minutes. Maybe they do. Oh, well, they'll have to be here longer, I guess.
Starting point is 00:19:37 I'm not paying overtime if it's other people that are saying it. I'm not paying past then if anybody else says that. That's another legal issue though, isn't it? What do you reckon, law units? Well, you've heard from the head of HR and that's the official company stance. That's my final word. And I respect your job and if you say that's what goes, then that's what goes.
Starting point is 00:20:03 And I think that's fair. It does feel like getting an after school detention though. Yeah well get penalised for your crime. I didn't even think. The punishment fits the crime. Firm but fair I feel. I didn't even think about Sophie and James in overtime so
Starting point is 00:20:17 I'm glad that you're on top of that. No no no I'm thinking about it and I'm telling them that they're not fucking getting paid if they say the own word. The bonus is that if you guys don't say it, you get paid. So it's in your best interest. All right. 4 a.m. Melbourne time.
Starting point is 00:20:38 A-E-S-T. No daylight savings anymore. A-E-S-T. You can type that into worldclock.org. Figure that out yourself. We're not doing time chat. It's 24 minutes before the opening ceremony starts, wherever you are in the world.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Yep. So, like, you figure that out, but we'll be live on the o'clock before it starts. I've got to love to see it here. Please. I actually just sent it to you via text, but Taylor shared this in our Facebook group, that very excited she's having a baby boy.
Starting point is 00:21:08 And she said, just to add an extra special kick to it, our little man was conceived the night after she and her husband attended I Came in Tony's Box. Coincidence, chat. Oh, my God. So her and her husband fucked the night after that. They were so horned up from seeing us and the Hawks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:31 But they went home, conceived a little baby. Now it's a little tough baby. Isn't that amazing? Do we have legal rights to that kid? Is that kind of our kid? Law units coming in hot day. Is that kind of our kid? Legally, no.
Starting point is 00:21:50 But DNA-wise, yeah. There was probably still a little bit of my hair on one of their jumpers or something, you know. You know, like when you leave hair behind at a crime scene. Sorry, there's a lot of work. Yeah. My pubic hair. The other day I was getting my hair done.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Because my hair's really thick. Fuck, it takes ages. I said to my hairdresser, Raquel, I was like, oh, you know, I've got so much hair. And she goes, oh, that's okay. I've been doing hair for fucking six years. I come to expect it now. And I go, oh, you should see my pubic hair.
Starting point is 00:22:26 And she went, what? And I said, you can't have known me six years and not seen that coming. Not seen that joke coming. Do you know what I mean? Like, there's no way that that wasn't coming. Anyway, Taylor, congratulations. We'll be coming for what's legally and rightfully our house. Yeah, so look out.
Starting point is 00:22:39 What I do love, though, and it gets me going, is the fact that the dog's got, got like a little sister on the way. Yeah. And Taylor has said, how cute is his big sister in the photo? You love to see it. Oh, okay, yeah. So their little dog is very excited for a bundle of joy. So now when they have a kid, we'll have to take them to the footy as well.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Yeah. Let's not steal any booze this time. That'd be a shame. Tony and Orion did not steal any booze, but one of our guests did. And I don't think, well, we were literally responsible for it.
Starting point is 00:23:12 How embarrassing for everyone involved. It was pretty embarrassing. All right. I'm going to love to see it. This is actually pretty fucking embarrassing. And I don't know if this is funny or grim. So let's just let the story dictate. All right.
Starting point is 00:23:22 I'm all yours. My listening is this is uh from type of chris hi type of chris who last weekend went to a church retreat um with his community beautiful and he said like it's you know a lot of personal growth um but sometimes it can be like pretty heavy like people have some emotional stories and you know it's time to share and be together and a lot of those people probably don't have people in their life that they can share that with. So that's like their opportunity to really like, you know, unload. Don't say unload, but you know what I mean.
Starting point is 00:23:53 It's pretty intense at times. It's mostly great and positive and you're feeling great. But there are some times when it can be a bit somber. Yeah. People grieving and stuff like that. Oh, that's really special though. That's nice. Okay. Sorry. I've spoken. I'm shutting up. Yeah. People grieving, stuff like that. Oh, that's really special though. That's nice. Okay, sorry. I've
Starting point is 00:24:07 spoken. I'm shutting up. Sorry. This is so funny. During one of the somber times. Oh, Ryan. I don't. Oh, yep. This is actually your fault Tony, so don't fucking drag me. Oh, don't you fucking. I wasn't there. Well,. This is actually your fault, Tony, so don't fucking drag me into this. Oh, don't you fucking, I wasn't there. Well, you'll know when you hear it.
Starting point is 00:24:29 During one of the somber times, someone was sharing, and you know when someone's going through something tough, when you hear someone else is going through something similar, it's like, we can connect, I'm going through something similar. You're not alone, you're not the only one. So someone was sharing they were having a tough time, and... Ryan, don't laugh. Someone's going through a tough time I chimed in to tell them
Starting point is 00:24:50 Something similar had happened to my wife And as I said My wife I fucking lost it In this really delicate emotional time because all i could hear in my mind was tony saying in her borat voice so i'm telling this story and then and the person who's running the church thing would go oh that's really tough chris i'm tell us more about your wife so he's like and I don't know.
Starting point is 00:25:26 And because if it's like a private sharing thing, you're probably not using names. So you can't just all of a sudden go, Jess. Bridget said it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And so Chris says, I would have said the words,
Starting point is 00:25:40 my wife, 10 times in two minutes. And it's a really deep, emotional, pretty dark story. Oh, I feel so dark. And Chris, this other guy sharing a story about his family, and Chris is like pissing himself laughing. And they're like, are you right, mate? Well, they're probably like, hey, could you be respectful? Oh.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Is that my fault, though? Yes. I didn't make the movie Borah, you know. Sorry for the comedy. He didn't hear Sacha Baron Cohen. He said, I immediately heard Tony saying Mawana. Someone messaged Patreon the other day and said, why do you keep saying Mawana every time?
Starting point is 00:26:23 Because Mawana is my favorite movie i love moana but every day but and i was just like oh no it's like it's like a reference from a movie from 2000 yeah um and isn't that humbly This movie came out 25 years ago. I don't know what year it actually came out. Everyone place your bets. I'm going to say 2006. 2006. No more bets needed. Get around him.
Starting point is 00:26:56 That's what I love to hear. So that movie came out 20 years ago almost, and I'm referencing this movie. This person's like, so why do you keep saying Marwa? Why do you keep saying Marwa? Why do you keep saying Mawa? Well, something similar happened at the church. Chris, why are you telling a deep story about your wife's struggles and pissing yourself laughing at the same time?
Starting point is 00:27:14 Imagine if the mediator of this connection group is like, then Chris goes, yes, so my wife. And then the person goes, Mawa! They're like leading this trust circle. Malek! It sounds like a kid beer sketch. It does. It does.
Starting point is 00:27:31 I come in through the back door like the Kool-Aid man. Like, burst through the window. Malek! Believe it or not, this story's not done yet. Oh, shit me dead. Okay. So I feel like I have to explain myself, says Chris, and he talks about, oh, I listen to this podcast and blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:27:56 No, it's same boy. Don't throw me under the bus in that situation. So at the church retreat, someone goes, oh, it's great that you've found a podcast that can bring you positivity and humor and something to smile about in a tough time with your wife. And he goes, what else is on the podcast? He goes, oh, well, they've got this saying that's start the fucking blog. Oh, okay, good.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Yep, yep. Which is meant to inspire people to do the things they've been putting off or been scared to do. And the people in the group goes, oh, like, what a great message. Thank you very much. Chris said I left out one of the words. Start the blog. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Probably. Yeah. Start the fucking. I don't think that that's what you should do. At the church retreat with your aunt. So Chris goes, yeah, so, you know, and people messaged through there, start the blog stories. Great.
Starting point is 00:28:47 And one lady started this business with the pendants and the this and the that. The bonsai plants. Yeah, and then the church goes, this sounds fantastic.
