Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Arthur Tony Lodge. Hello. And we're about to call Nathan, who's in Milwaukee. Oh, motorcycles. Harley Davidson. So that's Milwaukee. Is it? Yep. You can Google that. Nathan! Tony!

Hey, what's going on, Nathan? How you been, man? Hey. Hey, doing great. How are you guys doing? We're well, Nathan. We just need to ask you something. Is it true that Milwaukee is like the home of Harley Davidson? It is. It's also, you know, in Wisconsin, which we're kind of known as the cheese heads here. So there's plenty of cheese going around too. Cheese and Harley. Sorry, Tony's lost interest, even though she loves cheese. She just loves the fact that she's right about something.

Yeah, because I said that to Ryan just before you answered, Nathan, and he went, I don't think that's right. I didn't say that. You gave me the look though, didn't you? No. Cheese and Harley-Davidson. That sounds pretty good. There's even a Harley-Davidson museum here.

Tony, did you go there when we had a spare day off? No. Traveled to Milwaukee. Walk in, eat some cheese and hang out with Nathan. From Chicago. Yeah, just up the road. Nathan, thanks for being an absolute legend. Will you approve today's episode?

Abso-fucking-lutely. Yeah. Rev up your bike. We're getting started. Sorry. You ruined it. You ruined it. You were doing so well, sweetie.

Hi, this is Nathan from Milwaukee, and I approve this podcast. Happy New Year. Welcome to the show. You can also watch today's video show. Lucky you. On the Spotify app, as well as listening to it. Also, happy fucking Friday. Sorry for our friends in America who it's like Thursday night.

Thursday night. Don't worry. Friday's coming. It's coming. It's coming. Yeah. And Friday, what? Thursday night.

That's the weekend. You know what I mean? Knock it off on a Thursday. It fucking feels good. You go, fuck tomorrow's easy ass. Yeah. When was the last time you went to the tip? Like when I was a kid?

Yeah, same. Until the other day. And I, mm. Oh. Shit's changed, man. And they don't even call it the tip anymore. Isn't it like the recycling plant or something? Yeah.

And I was like, who are you trying to kid, mate? So I was saying. It's a tip. And when I went with dad when I was probably six, we just backed up the ute and just threw anything we fucking wanted anywhere. And there's like the sprinklers keeping the dust down and stuff. Yeah, packing it down and they're just like, whatever. It's just like so much fun.

But not anymore, man. Times have changed. You know what's not fun about the tip? What? Heaps of birds. And you're not a bird guy. I'm not a bird guy and there's many, many birds at the tip. Well, to be fair, if you were a bird, think of the shit you could get.

Oh, yeah, heaven. Heaven for a bird. But I don't think I can go back to the Nillumbik Recycling Centre. Oh, no. And I caused a ruckus within their team. Mate, if you're banned from a tip, I mean, that's just bad, isn't it? Yeah. You're not doing well if you can't go back to the tip.

Sorry, I heard this random joke the other day about trash and rubbish. Yeah. Oh. It's not even that funny. Take this joke to the tip. And it doesn't make sense. So when a flight attendant. Oh, no.

Walks down the aisle of the plane with the bag going, trash, trash, trash. They're not asking for trash. They're telling you what they think of you. Because they're saying trash. I get it. Yeah. Let's do shit coincidences.

Oh, I thought we must have already started. Off to a flyer. Off to a flyer. Off to a flyer start. Coincidence chat. I'm going to start with a legitimate coincidence, I believe, and then we'll get into the shit ones. Megan, who's a tarpa. It might be Megan.

Hi, Meg Megan. Megan's biological father is Dave. Yep. Megan's stepdad is Dave. I don't need to remember much. Megan's little brother. Yep. Also named Dave.

Dave. As like a seniority thing? No, I think because I don't know if the little brother was around before the stepdad. No, but still the biological dad was Dave. But I think that's just Megan's biological dad that might not have been who she's met later in life or something. I don't have the details.

Okay. But they're all Dave. Dave. Which doesn't that just fucking roll you up? Three Daves, Grace. So then one day a mum and I are in the bookstore, says Megan, which doesn't that just fucking roll you up three dives Grace so then one day a mum and I are in the bookstore says Megan and we see a Dr Seuss book

and the Dr Seuss book is called Too Many Daves and we almost fucking died and it is a real Dr Seuss book and could you imagine they've just had this oh I've just found my birth father another Dave too many Daves like Can you imagine they've just had this like, oh, I just found my birth father. Here's Dave. Another Dave. Oh, another Dave.

Too many Daves. Like, yeah, it's fine. Okay. Sorry, Meg Megan. Too many Daves. It just sounds a bit like it would just be a family name though. Like a Dave Senior, Dave Junior. Yeah.

Like it would just be a family name though. Like a Dave Senior, Dave Junior. Yeah. But because what? Yeah, no. No? Okay, sorry. Okay, that was also a shit one. Which one of these is the shittest though?

Let's start with Keely Marie. Hi, Keely Marie. There were twins at my school who not only had the exact same birthday as each other, but they also had the exact same birthday as me. I said to them. And we were all called Dave. I said to them, I'm like a third. It's like we're triplets.

And the twins were like, nah. Little bitches. Wonder where they are now. Clearly I wouldn't worry about them. Kitty. Meow. I work at a vet clinic and my friend bought. That's not the coincidence.

That's actually not the coincidence. Let's go see Kitty at the vet. Yeah, the other receptionist is called Dog. Yeah, the other receptionist is called dog. And the vet's called fish and they all just get along. I work at a vet clinic and my friend brought their dog to my vet. Well, if my friend was a vet, that's probably where I would take Pippa. Yeah.

Yeah. That's funny. Oh, kitty at the vet. I mean, she should have stopped there. Yeah, you're right. That's very good. Get out on the high. Yeah. Stephanie Stroud.

Hi, Stephanie Stroud. Oh, Stephanie, she comments a lot in our group. Yeah, I always say her name. Put her bad. It's hard to tell. I guess we're based on this. My brother's name is Ryan and my sister's name is Tony. I like that.

Yeah. Everyone refers to them. So, you know, when you're in a relationship that, like, our podcast is called Tony and Ryan, but in relationship, there's always a first name. There's a way. Yeah. So how is it with you guys?

Tony and Torbs. And it's always Tony and Torbs. Yeah. Because you could never not have your name first. No, no, no. But like so Tony and Alex, his government name, Alex and Tony doesn't sound right. No.

Ooh. Yeah, Alex and Tony. So it's always been Tony and Alex. Yep. And then now that it's Tony and Torbs, like Torbs and Tony also doesn't sound right. I don't think. Even if someone said dad and mum.

Or cat and dog. Oh, no. Works both ways, that one, yeah. Yeah, pretty flexible. Yeah. Everyone refers to my brother and sister as Ryan and Tony, which is good because it distinguishes them from you guys. So if someone talks about Ryan and Tony and someone talks about Tony

and Ryan, I know, like, the difference. Your brain picks which one. Yeah. See, when we, people have asked us a few times, like, why are we Tony and Ryan and not Ryan and Tony? And it actually was, like, we didn't sit down and have a conversation about it. We were just like, oh, that's like what we'll call our podcast. Tony wrote it on the form.

But also it was just like. That we sent into big podcasts. Yeah, like please accept our podcast. But I think that Ryan and Tony as a couple name or like talking about two people is fine. Yeah. But Ryan and Tony as the title of the podcast, I don't think sounds right.

I think it's because the A and N in Ryan. It's the Ryan and Tony. Yeah. But I know that when you did radio shows in a past life, it was always like Ryan and. Not always, but I think there's just this weird default where the guy's name always goes first. So I think because we're fucking anti-establishment cockheads,

we're like, whoa, whoa, fuck the system, bro. We're going to put the girl's name first. But not even that. It was just like, cool, that sounds better. And it worked out because now it's TARP, Tony and Ryan podcast. What would it be? Rat-puh. Doesn't mean anything.

Rat-poos. No, it'd be rat-rat-puh. Rat-puh. That's what I just said. Rat poos. No, be rat, rat, rat, puh. That's what I just said. Rat. My brain wants to say wrapped. But it isn't. No.

Because it's not Ryan on Podcast Tony. Maybe it could be if your name was Podcast Tony. Do you know what I would like though? At the moment it's like Tarpers, Tony and Ryan Podcast-ers. But I do like the idea that our listeners will be like our little rats. It's quite cute. Like all the little ratties, you know. That sounds a bit gross though, but it's better than all the rappers out there.

The ratpers. The ratpers. But, yeah, so that's why. But, yeah, okay, I'm glad that Steph has a good distinction. Stephanie Stroud said, for the record I'd much rather hang out with Tony and Ryan than Ryan and Tony. Are we the one? Yeah, that's good for us.

It's good for us. It's good for us. I forgot which one was first. Ginger Jones. Is this Ginger with a J? Ginger with a J. Okay. A lot of birthday chat today, which is the birthplace of shit coincidences that no one gives a fuck about.

It is where it all was born from, yeah. I met someone in high school. Born from birthday. Sorry. What? You said that birthday chat was the birthplace of all coincidences, and I said, yeah, it is where I was all born from, and then ten minutes later I said, ah, birthday.

Okay, it was the pause that got me. Yeah. Sorry. Ginger Jones with a J. Ginger Jones, what a great name. It actually is. Do you reckon Ginger Jones gets a JJ? She does get a JJ, and I also reckon it's just like a hot name.

You know she's probably from California, and she's probably an 11 out of 10. Definitely. I met someone in high school who had the exact same birthday as me as well. Same day, same month, same year. We never became friends. Don't want to share the attention, I guess. Like, if you're friends, whose birthday party are you going to go to? You know what I mean?

But I just imagine her going, when's your birthday? Oh, what day? What month? What year? Great. Well, anyway, have a nice life, you bitch. Yeah. You mole.

See, this is how I reckon it played out. Oh, so like, when's your birthday? And they go, March. You go, oh, what date? And they go, oh, same year, obviously. You were in the same year at school. And they go, yeah. And it wouldn't have been friendly.

It would have been like, hmm, still my thunder. Let's see you get those invites out first. Fuck you, yeah. Yeah, it's in November. Cool, it's January. Are you free on the 15th? I'm not going to name names, but there's beef in my friendship group. Oh, you can't name names because none of them listen.

So you can do it if you want. None of my friends listen to the show. There's two people with a birthday real close. Oh. And one of them's a real partier. Is it a big, they're both celebrating like a big birthday? I mean, it happens every year. Okay.

And one of them's a big partier and he's like, we'll go away for the whole weekend. And the weekend is also the other one's birthday. And it's like, oh, I guess I'll just. I'll come along to your birthday thing. But like, I guess I won't see my family on my birthday or whatever. Yeah. Or do I have mine the week after? Yeah, or is it a joint birthday?

Because, you know, people don't like that. I don't like that. It's also like as someone with a birthday late in the year, I used to like as a kid you'd get like a joint gift sometimes. So you go, oh. Because you are a late November. It's the 28th of November. Where's the line?

So I'm June 28th. Yeah. If you try and double me up with Christmas, you can really go fuck yourself. They roll it in September and go, oh. Yeah, oh, fuck, I didn't see you for either. But, yeah, so then if, like, say an auntie or whatever would come over at Christmas and go, oh, Tone, we didn't get you a birthday gift because we knew we'd see you today.

So like here's the towel and it's for both. You know, like we got you a towel. Wipe yourself twice. I don't know. Talking about combining birthdays. With Christmas or with a person, with a birthday? With another person. I might need to take a long weekend just letting everyone know in, I think, May.

Oh, because for this birthday. I'm going to a 20th, but it's a 20th on average. So it's Phil and Cheryl's 40th. Yeah. And it's Mabel and Oscar's first. Oh. And we're all going away. Oh, cute.

Are you going to that big place again? Different big place, new big place. But same kind of thing? No, it's a more mature big place. Oh, cute. You're going to that big place again? Different big place. New big place. But same kind of thing? Nah, it's a more mature big place. Oh, okay. Because the other one was a bit of a... To bring you up to speed, we found this like rundown abandoned school camp.

And so my friends and I used to, 50 of us would go down for the weekend. And it's like, the place is so fucked. You can't fuck it up. This is old Ryan, by the way. People are like, Ryan didn't do that. He used to. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so like, you could just cause a muck, run amuck.

There's no one around because you're in the middle of nowhere. So you can like mute. And like right near the ocean as well. Like the place is beautiful. The area is beautiful, but the place is fucked. But now that everyone's a bit older, we've found a new spot, which is like in wine country that's got like lots of cabins and a different house.

Like there's an area where like, oh, if you guys have got kids and they want to go to bed early, like you guys can go up to the quiet end of the block. Oh, yeah. And so it's like the straights with the kids can be at one end of the block. The breeders. And the party and dancing gays can go down the other side. Oh, that's the end I would want to be on.

The dancing gays. Yeah. Yeah, but they dance past 9pm though. Oh, no. Okay. Then you come back up to the house. Hey, this is Nathan from Milwaukee and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout-out to a few of our champion tapas

over at our Patreon. Tapas, Tony and Ryan podcasting. Sorry, I went a bit too soon. Oh, my God. That's what I mean, though. It sounded like a burp because it came in too quick. Urghs. Samantha, good on you, Sam.

Thank you. Ali Pepiot. Pepiot. Pepiot. That's actually Tony's dog's Spanish name. Sam Fisher. The singer? Sam Fisher.

The Sam Fisher. He's got a to break my heart. Hayley Rowland. Kelly Rowland? Yes. No, Hayley Rowland. Oh, the shit one. And Elise.

Good on you guys. Thank you so much for being part of the Patreon. Thanks for being legends. Everybody's name is cycling along the bottom. Turns out it's a lot harder to do technically than we originally thought. Yeah, I mean, we have been doing flat two years. I hope you enjoy it along the bottom. Turns out it's really hard to do. technically than we originally thought. Yeah, I mean, we haven't been doing flat two years. I hope you enjoy it along the bottom. Turns out it's really hard to do.

Yeah. When you don't know what to do at first. Yeah, for us because we don't know anything. Yeah. Am I right in thinking that we all have a childhood memory of going to the tip with mum or dad or the uncle and it's just like so much fun when you're a kid? Yeah, because you like scavenge for stuff.

Like you're kind of looking and you're like, oh, what's up again? Oh, I have been to a tip since I was a kid. In Mildura there's a big shop where the people kind of go through the rubbish and go, oh, we could sell that. I've heard about that. I've never been to a tip with that. But it's sort of like savers but more like not clothes. Yeah, so it's like thrifting pretty much.

But it's like old plates and stuff. Plates and a lot of like tools. So, you know, Greggie, how we have the trailer business. Yeah. We went to the Mildura shop and basically I don't even think there's prices. You kind of go this, this and this and they go, oh. 20 bucks. Yeah, and you go, cool.

That's all right. And when you, like, because Greggie was like a handy guy. So for him, like an old tool or something or a drill bit or fucking, he's, oh, that'll connect to the fucking, and you go, okay, great. But, like, what else would you do on a Sunday in Mildura? You know what I mean? Lots of chat. Yeah, well, that's the thing.

I mean, you've had orange juice. What else is there? So I've had nothing but good memories with the tip. That's really lovely. No, so then I had a whole bunch of stuff. I love the tip. Well, there was a whole bunch of stuff I need to throw out and I went, oh. Make a day of it.

Oh, do a tip run. Go down to the tip. I've got nothing but good memories. How much is the tip these days? Oh, is this all? Oh, no, that's a great question because they don't fucking miss you. Well, yeah. I think of.

Holy moly. I'm all revved up. Think of our little hatchback. Yep. And just with the back seats down. In the golf. In think of. Holy moly. I'm all revved up. Think of our little hatchback. Yep. And just with the back seats down. In the golf. In the golf. Yep.

Like, because basically over Christmas and we got some stuff for the house. Over a few months we've been accumulating boxes. Because, you know, you're getting stuff delivered to the house. You just end up with all these fucking boxes. Yes. So we're just like, hey, let's just do. They're all over the place. I was like, I'll go around the house, through the garage,

every bit of, just chuck them in the back and I'll just, like, take it away in one fell swoop. And because I believe it is cheaper to do a recycling than it is to do, like, hard rubbish at the tip. So if it's only boxes, I think it's a bit cheaper. In our council, you get two hard rubbishes a year. You just leave it on your front thing and the council come pick it up. I don't know if that's just us.

Anyway, $27. And I had some recycled, some trash. It was just a bunch of random. $27. That's not that bad, I don't think. Yeah, well, it was a small hatchback. So if you rock up with a big car or a ute full of stuff, who knows? But I thought, I don't know what I was expecting.

But when they went 27, I went, what? No, so 27 is basically 25. And you go, 25 bucks to get rid of all this stuff, great. You don't have to break all the boxes down into your bin. You don't have to. Yeah, I guess. Like, I actually don't think it's that bad. But because it was council run, I don't know why I was half expecting them to go,

oh, just a bit of trash, just chuck it in there. Just pop it in. Yeah. When I was a kid, I remember getting like tip tickets. Did you used to get this as a kid? So maybe this is a WA thing. Yeah. And in the, everybody's looking at me like I'm like.

Oh, righto. So you'd get like tip tickets. You'd get maybe four. I've heard of shit tickets. No, different, different thing. Well, kind of similar actually. Kind of pretty similar. And you'd get like four a year or whatever and you could go to the,

and it was like with your rates. Like a voucher. You got a voucher to like take shit to the tip. Because it is a council run. I kind of assumed it was a bit of a service. Yeah, but it isn't because maybe it's gotten more expensive though as we've like fucked the planet more. Yeah, I mean with landfill, once you've filled the land,

then what are you going to do? Where else is it? Yeah, and the water's coming up. Yeah, like we're with landfill, once you've filled the land, then what are you going to do? Where else is it? Yeah. And the water's coming up. Yeah. We're running out of water. Maybe it's coming up because we're pushing down on the other side. Off-kilter.

Yeah. So, like I said, bit of cardboard, bit of just general trash. And we got to the point where I was like, oh. This is getting beyond a joke now. Yeah, but like our trash bin was already full and we had like another full trash and I was like, just chuck it in the bag. Yeah. So the lady.

At the tip. At the tip. She goes, that'll be $27, $29. And I was like, right. And she goes, go and put it in front of the big skip things. In front of. In front of. Yep.

Very important. Okay. Goes back your car up into thingo number three. Go back it into number three. And I saw the guy next to me in number four, like throwing stuff into the thing. Yeah. So I say to this other bloke who's working at the tip,

oh, mate, do I chuck it in? Well, the lady said you gave her your money and she said put it in front. Yeah, but then the guy next to me was throwing it in. Well, that's his. You don't worry about number four. You worry about number three. But that's why I checked. I go, mate, where did it just.

Because maybe I heard wrong. Yeah, okay. No, and you'd rather check. So I go, sorry, mate. Because I. And you know how there's like that guy thing of like, oh, guys, don't ask for directions. Yeah.

I'm more than happy to ask someone in Bunnings. Yeah, you are actually. Excuse me, mate. What aisle is this in? Great, all good. Actually, probably to your detriment, you don't even look first. It's not even as if you haven't looked around. Can't buy a compliment.

But you don't even look around and then go, fuck, I might just ask the person working here. You just go, yeah, mate, where's the hammers? They go, yeah, right there. And you go, sick, mate, cheers. Like hammers? They go, yeah, right there. And you go, sick, mate, cheers. Like you don't even look first. Nah, nah. And so I thought I will double check.

Yep, fair. Mate, where do you want this? He goes, yeah, just chuck it in the back. Chuck it into the skip. Into the skip. Into the skip. Oh, okay, so we've got differing things here. But I think when I went, because I went, oh,

because I saw him, the other guy putting it in. But he was the man on the ground. So you're going to trust him because he's right there. Yep. So I start putting the stuff on the ground. So you're going to trust him because he's right there. Yep. So I start putting the stuff into the skip. Oh, fuck. And then fucking old lass wanders on down. Doris, she walks over.

And goes, what did I tell you? And, like, really gave me, because they've probably, it was a hot day, patience is low, every arsehole like me is putting shit in the wrong spot and she's had enough. Yeah. And I don't actually blame her. And you were just the one that copped it. In hindsight.

Oh, no. No, no. I wasn't the one that copped it. Oh, okay. No, no, no. She's had enough and she's like, mate, I've pretty clearly told you to put it in front. And in my mind I was like, yeah, you did.

And I went, oh, that guy told me to put it in front. And in my mind I was like, yeah, you did. But I saw the guy and I went, oh, that guy told me to throw it in the back. What a tattling little bitch. But he did though. And he worked it. And then he's like looked at her and she's looked at him. And then I like quickly like. And then she put him in front of the seat. So this is like one of the great moves.

So you know how I said I put the seats back down in the hatchback? I put them back up and that acted as like a. Catapult. Yeah. And just flipped all the stuff out. And then I was like, yeah, thanks guys. And just fucking drove off. Because you're like, I don't want to be in the middle of this argument.

Well, she's like, oh, well, fucking mate. As you know. And then he was like, yeah, but he said. And they were like getting, and when I say snippy, it was beyond, it was not just a snip. They were like, it's like this battle has been brewing for four months and like. And she's like, I have to walk over here every time.

Yeah, and mention this and I have to mention, and then they've gone, you know what, let's fucking settle this once and for all. Let's fucking throw hands, let's throw down. And I could see it in her face. I could see it in his face. And I was like, I know that I've caused this. I know that I was here for the start of this, but I don't want to be here for the finish of this.

So I just catapulted the shit out of the back seat and then just drove off. And as I looked in my rear vision mirror, there were points like. They were really going at it. Yeah, like telling each other what they thought. So anyway, I'm off the tip. It's too stressful.

I don't like it. I can't go back there. They call it a recycling centre. I don't like it. Mate, have you heard of Airtasker? Well, I have now because there's a new convert for Airtasker and she's sitting in this studio. Okay, so I didn't know what Airtasker was.

Right. I just had no idea. I thought it was just like no man's land where people just went and like, I don't know, it was dark web to me. Anyway, and then so we also, right? I actually got to stop you right there. Airtasker needs to work on their branding. Yeah. It should say Airtask needs to work on their branding. Yeah.

Because it should say Airtask in brackets, not that dark. Quite safe, actually. Not that dark. Yeah, yeah. Some of it is a bit dicey. The lightest of webs. Yeah, yeah, it is a light web. I'll give you that.

Because I don't really understand it, but then, like you, we've just moved, so it was, like, not only, like, new furniture that we were buying, but also, like you, we've just moved. So it was, like, not only, like, new furniture that we were buying, but also, like, our moving boxes and, like, stuff from the old house that we brought with us because we were in an apartment so we couldn't get rid of it because there's no, like, hard rubbish or anything. Don't take to the skim.

Well, the thing is is that I was like, oh, I don't even have a big enough car to take this to the tip. And I also didn't really want to put a heap of stuff in my Audi because I was like. And having now been to the tip, it's not a small, sexy Audi energy. No. So anyway, I was just like, oh. It's more of a fight with your colleague energy.

Well, I've heard of Air Tasker and I go, maybe I'll pop an ad on there and see if someone can come and take all this garbage. And, like, it's a win-win really really, because I don't have to do the thing and someone makes a bit of money. That is the definition of a circular economy, right? Yep. Anyway, and so, like, this guy, I pop it up there and I say, like, oh, $50 or whatever, and the guy goes, oh, I'll do it for $70,

but I can come today. And I go, oh, sure. Come on over. Sure. Make it 80. Like perfect. And then so he like backs into the driveway and we like pop all the stuff in the car. Yeah.

Oh, it was like a big van thing. And then he goes, oh, like this thing about airtasker though, you can get hustled because he goes, oh, it's a bit more here than I thought. It might actually be a hundred. After it's already in the van. After it's a bit more here than I thought. It might actually be $100. After it's already in the van. After it's in the car. We're not going to unload it. And I went, oh, okay, dude.

Like, you know better than me. And he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it might be $100. Did he not mention that before he started stacking? And then I'm like, okay. That's a good fucking check. Okay, at least I don't have to go to the tip. He's like, basically, I'm like, I don't have the vehicular space to take this.

So, like, it's already in your car. Like, fuck, you're juicing me a bit here, Bart. That's okay. Anyway. But how can you say no? And he knows that. But that's, like, I was literally backed into a corner. Swindled, hustled.

Yeah, I got shaken down. Anyway, so he's like, yeah, I think it might be $100. And I go, okay. And I was like, do you want to update the thing and I'll accept the new because you can like accept the new price in the app or whatever. And then he goes to the tip and he goes, oh, I'll do it. I'll drive there and I'll do it from there after it's done. And I go, okay.

And then I get an update in the app. And it's not been upped to $100. It's been upped to 165. What the fuck? And I go, well, hang on. It was originally posted for $50. We are like. We're over tripled.

We've tripled the amount here. And he goes, oh, yeah, the amount that you had and there was a bit of rubbish and stuff like the tip fees were a bit more. And now I'm hearing that you paid $30 to go to the tip. Have you had a bear task, she says. Well, I'm thinking that maybe this guy has seen me coming. Well, maybe, again, if there's more shit than a whole van's worth. About $60, that sounds like a lot.

Also, if you say, I need you to take this shit away, that's fucking, I don't care if you put it in the tip or in your own shed. I just want it out of my house. You can't charge extra. Well, like, and be arsed after the fact as well. Like, what was then I going to do? Like, be like, no, he's got my address.

He knows where I live. Say no. All that stuff. Anyway. Air Tasker. So I just paid it because I didn't want any trouble. And because I was like, well, this guy's obviously out of pocket. But there's actually, now that I'm thinking about it,

this is the second time I've been swindled by Air Tasker because the other time that I used it. Your tune has changed in three minutes. Yeah, the other time that I used it was when I was getting a table from you. So you got a new table and you were like, do you want the old one? It's a bit cheap but you could do it up kind of thing. You said I'll do it up over Christmas. How'd you go?

Haven't done it, just popped a tablecloth on. But, I mean, it's work and a dream. It is. But in the job ad, I put pick up research, drop off reservoir, and then this guy bid on it. He accepted the job and then he texts me and he goes, oh, research is actually hell far away, so it's going to take me a bit longer than I thought.

Oh, plus it's Sunday, so the traffic will be bad. I bumped the price up by like $150. And you obviously declined. I obviously paid it because, again, he already had both of our addresses. Yeah. You got this thing with addresses. Like if someone swindles. If someone's got your fucking address, you're going to fuck with that person.

Absolutely not. No, you're not fucking with them. They're fucking with you. You're just offending. No, no, no, but they've got information of yours. Like they know you're, so if you then go like, oh, nah, no big deal. Like don't worry about it. Then they go, oh, well, like if they wanted to,

I'd find that like quite confronting. Like. They're swindling you. Yeah. So then if I say no, I don't want them to still have my address and be able to like come and. Especially on a public forum such as our podcast, you need to pretend like you're not a walkover.

Oh, I am. Because what you're saying is. I am. What you're saying is, dear people on Airtasker, if you see Tony from Reservoir or Tony from Preston, milk that bitch for all she's worth because she is just going to pay. I'm contributing to the circular economy. I shouldn't be taking advantage of.

But you know how like in a ransom, like in the movies, they're like we don't negotiate with terror because you're like setting the price on it? Yeah, you've got to set the price on a dog because now these air tasking, they're guys are just going to be walking all over everyone because they've got their confidence up because they know they can swindle people. And they did.

But anyway, again, it was like something that I couldn't do myself. So I was like, you know what, I'm happy to pay for it. But like it was a bit heartbreaking. So actually I've just like really sung Air Taskers praises and then. It does sound like the dark web. That's the thing. It's like fucking. Question.

Well, you know how they say about the airport? It's like a lawless place. Like there's no rules. It's international waters. Yeah. It's Luxembourg. place. There's no rules. It's international waters. Yeah. It's Luxembourg. It governs itself. Yeah, it is a bit like that.

Not the airport. Is there a side note, side question? Side question. When I give you a, in inverted commas, free table, and then it costs you $5,000 to get it moved, would it have been cheaper? I actually did make that joke at the job. I was like, oh, I should have just bought it and fucking think.

So Bridget and I went to Savers last Saturday, which is in Australia, like a big thrift store. Yeah. And because we're on the hunt for like toys. Yeah. Because they can charge you $10 million, like summer toys, like bougie ones are crazy. And Bridget's like, I reckon if we go to a thrift store in a nice area,

we might get some like rich people's old stuff. Yeah. That's smart. We found this like little rocking horse. Cute. That was, it was like still rocked nice and smooth and all the parts were working and stuff. It was just old and the colours were like horrific.

Yeah. And I was like, oh, we could fucking sand that up and paint that. Yeah, but you won't. But we could. Yeah. So. Yeah. Guess how much the rocking horse was at Savers?

$35. Mate, no. $3.99. Because some op shops now, they aren't op shops anymore. Nah, they're, yeah, nah. It's like a high end boutique. Savers, you'll still get it done for cheap. $3.99.

Because the Good Sammies, I went into a Good Sammies recently. There was a T-shirt there that like, you know how you used to be like, oh, this still had the tags on and it was only two bucks. It was the tagged price. I was like, I should have just gone to Zara. Like, why would I come to the op shop? So we get a rocking horse for $3.99 and I was like, oh, hey, because it's like really like aggressive colours and I'm like, hey,

let's just go to Bunnings and get like some more whatever. And when I say we, like Bridget will do it because she's like crafty and she's like, oh, what a fun little project. Yeah. We've spent so much money on paint. Yeah. And then she goes, oh, we'll have to sand off the original colour so we'll need that sanding thing.

We'll need like a paint stripper. Also Bridget said, oh, I'm off to get a stripper, and I didn't know what it meant, and I was like, what? And then she told me, and that wasn't as fun as I thought. But the amount of shit we're doing. I'm off to get a stripper from Bunny. Time's a tough one. Yeah, you've got to put them together yourself.

The leg attaches a Oh, yeah. You've got to put them together yourself. The leg attaches a little bit. We've spent some and then I've gone, we should have just bought. A new rocking horse. Yeah. But, I mean, you can't put a price on the experience. Well, you can actually. It's $58. Well, yeah, but, like, you know what I mean?

Yeah. You know, good times have come by. Yeah. So, Airtasker, yay or nay? I mean, I wouldn't get someone to come and paint your rocking horse, to be honest. I would just do it yourself. Don't pop that on, Airtasker.

I could do that for you, though. Before or after the table? Before. Okay. Just in case. I don't know how long I'll be. I've got to love to see it here. Yeah.

My love to see it is Tony Lodge wearing a matching set today and some gold jewellery, if you don't mind. And I don't. Were you running low on your love to see it? Yeah, no, not a lot this week. Got to the end, I was like, fuck. Yeah, I'm fucking with you. But a matching set.

Yes. It's a cohort. Do you want to describe it for everyone, what you got there? Oh, it's just like a linen. Oh, it's just a thing I threw on. Well, it's like a linen button-up and the shorts match. Yeah. And the little white singlet underneath.

I didn't realise it was a singlet and I like that it's ribbed. Thank you. Yeah. As Torbs put it last night when I said, should I wear this tomorrow? He said, yeah, love the texture of the linen and the ribbed singlet is what he said. Yeah.

Yeah, he's going to get his dick sucked. We've got a friend staying with us. Oh, he'd be quiet. Shut the door. I don't know. Will you? No. Thank you.

That's really nice of you. I feel quite good. You do look good. Thank you. And the little gold. Thank you. Was it a year of colour this year or was that last year? That was yours last year.

But I am trying to embrace colour. Okay. I was embracing you. I'll trying to embrace colour. Okay. I was embracing you. I'll embrace you. Yeah. Yeah. Not as well as Torb's though, apparently. My love to see it, apart from that beautiful compliment,

my love to see it was the other day I was driving to the shops and that's it. No. And I turned off the big road. I was going to Spotlight. Yeah. I turned off the big road and it was like a narrow street, kind of narrow street. There was cars parked down either side.

And you know when you can't, if someone's coming, you kind of pull off to the side, let them come down. And anyway, so I was pulled to the side, letting like the three cars come down this street. And as I was pulled to the side, I kind of like looked over and I saw like a young dad putting like balloons on their letterbox. Like do you remember like your parents would do that for your birthday parties or whatever?

Not personally, but that sounds nice. Fuck, that's sad. Well, yeah, you'll know. But that's okay. I saw this dad, right, and he's putting the balloons on the thing and I was like, that is so sweet. Like obviously for a kid's birthday party. And I go to the spotlight um so like then 40 minutes later

i'm driving home back down the same road and as i'm going slowly down this street i see that it is now balloons and streamers all across the front fence and there's like 10 little kids playing in the front yard and there's like a little girl with a big party hat on and she's like the party princess and it was so sweet. That is sweet. Did you hide Easter eggs for them? No. I popped the balloons.

But, like, I just thought that was so adorable because I remember my, like, mum and dad doing that for me when I was a kid. That is cute. My mum doing that for me when I was a kid. And, anyway, so I just thought that was hell sweet. And like all the kids just having the best time. That is great. And all the parents standing around like looking at their kids. Like it was really beautiful.

How much sleep are you getting? Not much in there. Yeah. And they're all standing with a coffee. It was really sweet though. That is sweet. I love to see that. I love to see that too.

That's awesome. I love that. Everyone, have a glorious weekend. Have an amazing weekend. If you're going to the tennis, that's on. Local chat. Are you going to go with Adam and I? No, we don't have any tickets or anything. We can amazing weekend. If you're going to the tennis, that's on, local chat. Are you going to go with Adam and I? No, we don't have any tickets or anything.

We can just go. Can you? Yeah. Oh, I thought it sold out like weeks in advance. No. Like a day pass and stuff. Oh, I thought that it like. Maybe for like.

Or is that the finals kind of sell out? Yeah, and also like the primetime show court, main center court, whatever. But yeah, day pass, just go. Because there's a big festival there. Yeah. Oh, yeah, maybe we will.. Because there's a big festival there at Staffay. Oh, yeah, maybe we will. So when I'm going. Pop some sunscreen on.

There's rudimentals playing, Peach PRC. What? Yeah, like it's a thing. Oh, okay, yeah, deal. Yeah. Can I come with you? No, you've just got the two tickets. That's nice.

Sorry, I don't know if you're going to hear more about this next week, but Tony and I earned ourselves two tickets, and I promised them to my wife, who is very excited. And to me. I doubled. Yep. And. Yep, that's okay.

Yeah, I might go on the way. I thought that you, like, I thought it was like you had to buy tickets ages in advance. Oh, that sounds fun because I want that lanyard. You know when everyone walks around with the day passes and it's got that little lanyard that looks so specky? Of all the things that were previously mentioned, the lanyard is going to... That's just a bit of fun, isn't it?

That's just a bit of fun. Yeah, rudimental as well, I guess. HPRC. Would you like for me to make you a lanyard? No. Just day to day? No. Why not? Because I don't like the way that when people have their keys on, the sound it makes just makes me so upset. So you don't have to put your keys on it.

Oh. What would I put on it? My phone. No, it just says something like VIP access. No, I don't want that. Very important podcaster. Anyway, have a great weekend. Love you.

Bloody love ya. Mwah. Mwah. Mwah. Love you, bye.
