Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. I'm Ryan. This is Dr. Author Tony Lodge and we are calling Pretty Ricky, self-proclaimed in New South Wales, Australia. Hello? Pretty Ricky! It's Tony and Ryan. Oh, hey. How pretty are you? Yeah, Pretty Ricky. Give us the backstory. What's going on with that? I think I was like 18. I tried to make like a Snapchat name that wasn't't too cringy that didn't really resonate with me um so i came up with that so let me get this straight you think that was the not cringy version

yeah look i was 18 at the time and i deleted snapchats in so hey we all made mistakes when we're 18 isn't that right tony Yeah. I slept with Ryan. Pretty Ricky will approve today's episode. Definitely. Yeah. Hey, it's Pretty Ricky from New South Wales, and I approve this podcast. All right. coming up today, is it too much to say Tony got New Yorked? No, that's actually exactly what happened. One of the hottest questions since we've been overseas has been like,

Tony, how are you going with the tipping? And I thought that I was doing okay until I got tip hustled while we were in New York. By Jennifer Lopez in a strip club. I've seen the documentary. And I haven't been able to stop thinking about it and I feel so stupid. Yeah.

Yeah. It's not nice getting hustled. No, it isn't And this I felt betrayed by My new favourite city You know when you like Have a strange

But I said I loved you Yeah Like I feel like strangely patriotic About a city that I spent like five days in And now I'm looking at my bank account going Hang on How patriotic am I? What the fuck happened?

Yeah Okay Okay Yeah But first Normal or nah TARP is Tony and Ryan podcast. Submit these in the Tony and Ryan podcast Facebook group. So thank you very much. 80,000 people, I believe.

80? She's ticking up. Yeah. That's hectic. Thank you for joining us on this crazy journey. I like that. I like the use of the term journey. I know this makes no sense or no difference, says Bailey, right?

Bailey might be wrong. Sorry. But approaching traffic lights, I will say out loud, stay green, stay green, stay green. Because I feel like I have a spiritual connection to the traffic lights and then they stay green for me. It's called manifesting. Look it up. My best friend, who doesn't have her her license thinks I'm delusional. Am I normal or nah?

I think that's normal. I normally, I probably don't say like stay green. I go like, oh, we're going to make it. And then as soon as you kind of cross that line, you go, sweet. Because even if it went orange now, it's like I've already gone. What do I say? Doing it. And it's my absolute favourite.

I say it in the car all the time. Should I go, doing it? Or, you know, when you're like in the car and it's like there's real crazy traffic or whatever and you're kind of like trying to hop and you're doing this, like your indicator's on and you kind of. And you go, I'm coming in! I'm coming in! And no one can hear you.

It's not going to make any difference. It's not going to get you over any quicker, but you just do it and you go, look, everyone just hold tight because I'm coming. Yeah. Now, I know this might not be as passionate of a theory for you now that Torbz has his licence. I can't wait to get back to Australia and be a passenger princess.

How do we feel about the best friend or anyone who doesn't have a licence giving advice to drivers? If you wanted to have your own say or drive your own fucking car. Be my guest, sweetheart. But if you don't have your licence, I reckon just shut the fuck up. I mean, to be honest, even when you're driving with someone who does have their licence and they feel the need to go, oh, wouldn't have gone then. I go, okay, well, you can drive your car next time. You can pay for the fuel and you can fucking stay up and I'll just sit there on my phone on Instagram like you are right now.

It's polite things to do. Like, I just. If you wanted to drive. You could have done that. If you want to drive us home, I'll have a few beers when we're out. And you can drive home whatever the fuck way you want. Yeah. But you're not driving my car.

So. So, I guess you're walking, dog. I think, and I don't know if I've said this to you before. I'm all ears. I've discovered what is the most annoying thing in the world. Oh, I don't like that you're saying that after we've been together nonstop for the last three weeks. No, no. Well, it's driving related.

We haven't done a lot of that. Okay. No, we haven't. I'm missing driving, actually. Well, you would if you had your car. I believe I said to you the other day, I miss being an Audi driver. And you said you're still an Audi driver. You're just not driving an Audi right now.

And that made me feel really good. Thank you. That was very poetic. Yeah, it was beautiful. I should be on the books at Audi because that's a good line. Yeah, it is. But I'm actually employed by a big salt and pepper squid at the moment for my copywriting, so hold the phone. The most annoying thing ever. You know exactly where you're going and how to get there and someone's sitting and you're going, yeah, left up here. And you're exactly where you're going and how to get there. And someone's sitting, you're going, yeah, left up here. And you're like, yep. Don't. Am I your nerve?

No. This happened to me semi-recently. And I had the- Yeah, I actually know. I had the GPS up on the Apple CarPlay thing. Yeah. Oh, so, okay. You know and the computer knows. So Siri's telling me, the person in the car's telling me,

and I already know. Oh, just left up here. And, like, the Siri's like, left in 100 metres or fucking whatever. And he's like, oh, just left up here. I go, cool. Who was it? Just someone in the car. Who was it?

Just someone in the car. Who was it? Just someone in the car. If you had to name them, what would you call them? Nothing. They're dead now. in the car. Who was it? Just someone in the car. If you had to name them, what would you call them? Nothing.

They're dead now. I also feel the same way, and this is probably like traumatic childhood thing, but like going to do the dishes and then someone goes, oh, would you mind doing the dishes? You go, I would mind. And no, I won't do it. It's like when you're about to do something and then someone tells you

to do it, you go, well, no, now I won't. I'll rebel. This reminds me of the early Tony and Ryan days when we were just getting to know each other and figuring out how to, you know, where are we going to record and upload and do the videos and how does this all work? What's the logistics of us doing a podcast? And we actually really didn't know each other very well.

Yeah. Yeah. And so... Feels like an important part to it. As we all know, Tony Lodge is an audio queen, a sound engineer. Yeah. Qualified? Do you finish?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks, mate. Got the certificate. Yeah, yeah. The advanced diploma. Thank you very much.

And I've got no qualms with like being reminded about stuff. Maybe it's because I'm forgetful. But Tony, maybe not so much. And I think it was something like, I'll just hit save on that one or just something like that. And it was like, I actually know what to do. And then it became like a running joke and Ryan was like, would be like automatically just, oh, don't forget to save that.

And then he'd go, not that I'd ever tell you how to do that. And so that was like the show joke for a while. And we'd be doing something so silly together like, oh, you'd pick up your coffee and I'd be like, oh, don't forget to sip that. Not that I'd ever tell you how to do that. But I think that instantly I just assumed that people are being a jerk to me and I don't accept people trying to be nice. And so you being like, oh, don't forget to save that is like, oh,

so that you don't forget. Not because I expect you to forget. You stupid bitch. Yeah. And like, yeah, I just forget that like we're on the same team and that I love you sick. Yeah, I love you sick, bro. Thanks for that.

I appreciate that. We've both been away from our partners. Yeah, we have, yeah. Have you? Hands rocking. Oh, my God. You know what? No, keep going. What's the next? No, what were you sick, bro. Thanks for that. I appreciate that. We've both been away from our partners. Yeah, we have, yeah. Have you? Hands are up. Oh, my God. You know what? No, keep going.

What's the next? No, what were you going to say? No. No, you go. No, you go. I actually can't. No, I think you can. I can't.

I actually think you can. No, because I think you know what I'm going to say and I don't want to. No, I think you can. No, it's all good. I consent. I consent. I was going to ask. I consent. I don't want to. It's all good. I consent. I was going to ask. I consent.

I don't want to. Go on. Let me know how you say it. We're actually sitting very close to each other in the studio right now. I actually think I'm going to cry. I don't think I can do it. We'll get to six for the trip. We'll do it.

I don't want to. I'll get to six for the trip, we'll see. I think Nelly just spat on the floor. Not from her mouth either. Go on. Next normal or not? No, you go. Just say it and then we'll do one. All right, have you been jerking it like crazy since we've been away? Next normal or not?

Because that's what I would ask you in private, but now we're on the podcast. First of all, you wouldn't ask me that in private. I would never ask anyone that because that's a weird thing to ask. B, that is not what I thought you were going to say. Oh, what did you think I was going to say? That also doesn't matter. No, I had to do mine. I had to do mine.

Have you been? No, I haven't do mine. I had to do mine. Have you been? No, I haven't. I'm actually saving myself. For marriage? For Torbs to f***. Oh, can you cut that out? That's too much. Just beef it, believe it in.

What were you going to say? Oh, no, I just didn't think it was going to be that. No, you have to tell me. I thought you were going to say, are you having, like, sexy dreams? Oh, are you? Well, I'm not a big dreamer, like, in general. I'm a dreamer and I always will be. But sometimes when people, like, haven't been doing the sex,

they will, like, be thinking about doing the sex. I actually had a dream last night. It was real realistic. That in the Facebook group. Dream chat. Producer Cam approved a Facebook post into our group that was like, hey, today's episode was shit. You guys have really dropped the ball.

You guys were overseas and you were kooky and weird. No, it was really realistic. And I had this dream last night and I woke up like, I can't believe he approved that. So you were more upset with the approving than the review? No, no, no. So it was that. And then I was like, and I can't believe he approved that. So you were more upset with the approving than the review? No, no, no. So it was that. And then I was like, and I can't believe we did such a shit episode.

Like, why are we letting people down? And then I looked for the post and I was like, that was a dream. Yeah. So I'm not dreaming about sex at all. I'm like work brain. But your family's here now. You need to get home. Yeah.

Or rail or something. Need to get to Hawaii. I'm so sorry, so. You need to get home. Yeah. Or rail or something. Need to get to Hawaii. I'm so sorry everyone. I'm sorry for asking about if you're jerking off and I'm sorry for saying jerking off again. Now three times. I've gotta go home. Like, I have to go home. Sorry everyone. For many things. I'm so sorry.

Sam asked, normal or nah? Hi, Sam. Bring us home, dog. Taking off your shoes in the workplace. And does having socks on make a difference? I work in a co-working space and the other day I saw someone sitting on a communal couch and she kicked off her sandals and her bare ass feet were touching the couch. Is this normal behavior or nah?

That's a great question. That's a really good question. And just to bring people up to speed, Tony is, I would say, borderline allergic to hot desks. So this any co-working space chat is fucking kooky time. It's cowboy world. Cow're doing on the coast. This is a really good question. Yes, I think socks do make a difference. But better or worse?

Because stinky socks is just as bad as stinky feet. See, I just think that shoes off is, like, such a huge deal. Right. Like, I don't know why, but I'm like, oh, if I'm taking my shoes off, like, I'm settling in. Yeah. Like, and so normally, like, if I, so your house, right, is like a shoes off house, not in a pretentious way,

but in, like, a comfy way. It's like you walk in the front door, like, you kick your shoes you walk down walk down pop your feet on the couch yeah and so whenever i'm coming to your house i actually am always like oh i'm gonna put on some like nice clean comfy socks great because i'm like oh and i'll just wear my burks there and then i kick my burks off at the door and then i go down and it's like real comfy. But if I was going to work, I would never think I'll wear nice socks because I might kick my shoes off. I also thought this on the plane to Dallas. So we flew directly from Melbourne, which feels like a lifetime ago.

16 hours. Yeah, from Melbourne to Dallas. It's a direct flight. And I was wearing runners because, like, I mean, I was wearing the biggest shoes so that I didn't have to put them in my luggage. Yeah, smart. But, like, so they're, like, tight and kind of, like, constricting. And so, I was like, fuck, I'm not that comfy. And you're, like, you know, you're tucked in behind someone. Your feet are, like, tucked in together. And I was like, 16 hours hours surely that's fair game for a

shoes off i didn't do it though i couldn't bring myself to do it i reckon that's fine did you do shoes off um no but i'm like did you produce a cam 100 yeah i've definitely done it before and i but what i'll do is just like undo the laces oh Just so it's a bit comfier. But your feet are under the chair. It's not like your feet are on someone else's seat, like Sam is saying in the workplace. Or like you're going to get up and go to another meeting and someone else is going to sit down exactly where your feet were. Do you think if you've had a pedicure it's different?

Yes. So, yeah, if you've got loose feet but they look like your toes look good and they're all fucking taken care of. Have you seen my toenails recently? No. Are they nice? No. Oh, mine are looking real good because I had a pedicure just before I left.

They look good. Like I could sell them, I reckon. Strangely, you actually probably could and make a lot of money and that's fucking cool. Do you think I should start doing that? I've got a mortgage now. Yeah, I think you can't do it. I'm a barefoot guy, but I would never put my bare feet on something. Unless it was like on the couch at your house or like my house or something.

Yeah, I would never go to someone else's house. You wouldn't feel comfy at my house? No, like be somewhere else and just like pop my feet. Oh, and randomly. Yeah. Do you know what I actually find super disrespectful? People just putting their feet on stuff regardless. Do I do that?

No, no, no, no. No, you don't. When I see people with their feet on the dashboard of a car, that makes me physically ill. What about feet out the window on the front passenger? Hate it. Yeah. Hate it.

Hope you get hit on the side and lose an ankle. And snap your bloody big toenail off. The thing is, I've driven someone in my car before, and my Yara, so pretty small, who put their feet up on the dash and I was appalled. I could not believe that you could get into somebody else's car and do that. I think in a former life I probably would have done that. I just hate it.

Going to a music festival. I wasn't peeing in a bottle at this point. But just, like, you're in the line at a Polish festival. Yeah, there's got to be lines on me. Like, they're checking all the cars. You're sitting there for two hours and you're, like, in festival mode. Cat, lean them back, feet up. Feeling like you're a bit of a hippie cool guy because you're at a festival.

You can get comfy without putting your feet up, though. Is this the same person in the car? No, no, it's not. What was their name? It's not important. They don't have a name anymore. Are they? Old Feedy McCar.

Feedy McFeetface. Hey, it's Pretty Ricky from New South Wales, and you are listening to Tony and Ryan. Yeah. Hey, it's Pretty Ricky from New South Wales and you are listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout out to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon, tapas Tony and Ryan podcast. And it's been so good to meet all of you as well. Such a thrill. And there's been people that have come over,

like I know we talked the other day about Wally Choplick, but he walked over, he's like, hi, I'm Wally. And I was like, Wally Choplick? And he couldn't believe it. And I was like, that's so cool. We met Alex Fiasco. We did. We also met George Wendell.

We did meet George Wendell. When we were in New York. That was very thrilling. That was thrilling. We also met Kimberley Miners, Kimberley Majors in Nashville. What a thrill. That was very, I actually totally forgot that we met. We've met so many people. Yeah, that's all blurred into.

All the names like roll into one. Yeah. Yeah. I'm so sorry if I got in there. Shamantha Majorly Fasco. Kill me. But the ones whose name I got in there. Shamantha or Majorily Fasco. Kill me. But the ones whose name I'm not forgetting. Kiki, good on you.

Thank you so much for being part of the Patreon. Lindsay Duval, Lexus, Arrow, and Jordan Conway. Thank you so much for being part of the Patreon. You've been around for a while, all of you, so we bloody love you. I hope you're enjoying the little extra sneaky random videos that are going into Patreon from the trip. And everybody that listens, we can't do it without you. People in Patreon, like, it's awesome to have you along the ride. Yeah.

And I need the cash at the moment because something very dramatic has happened. So we were in New York last week. Yep. So we were in New York last week. Yep. And before I, I was actually just talking about how I got a pedicure in Melbourne before we came to the US. I got a pedicure and I also got like acrylic nails. I'll tell you what you did get. What?

A lot of compliments on your nails as we were cruising around. So many compliments. And I don't know if it's just Bridget because when she's working in wine, she's like in the lab and her nails don't last. There's always like she comes home and goes, oh, chip. And I was like, Tony, you're a fucking three-week strong girl and you're like still holding down the fort. They lasted really well. They did well.

And, yeah, they did do very, very well. But they were starting to get to the point where they'd grown out and I was like, oh, if it breaks, it's just going to really hurt because they're just going to lift off and it's going to be a mess. It was time. Yeah. I just really needed to get them either taken off or fixed or whatever. Yeah.

And I'm not normally a nails person. No. I feel really self-conscious when I have my nails done. I feel like everybody looks at me and thinks that I'm really high maintenance, which, as you know, is one of my greatest fears. But I'm trying to let that go because I'm like, no, it makes me feel good. I like having them done. So, I got them done before I came and it was a great, like, day out with my sister.

But then I find myself like a beautiful, young, 20-something woman needing to get my, thank you, needing to get my nails done in New York City. Yeah. What a lovely little day trip. Well, yeah. So in the morning we had some work to do and I had like an iced coffee on the corner and I'm like, ooh. And then I typed into Google Maps like nail salon.

Yeah. And 3,000 populated. Like, there's so many. Within 300 metres open now. Yes. Like, if you are looking for a career in New York, nails are hot. Yeah. Like, they're everywhere.

But all of them are full. Oh. So. So, they're in demand as well. Yeah. So, where I was, I typed in nail salon. All these salons popped up. And in like a radius of like four blocks of where I was, there was eight.

Right. So, yeah. Like every corner. I'll just go for a cruise and see what's up. Well, so, in Australia, well, every place I've ever been, I've like tried to make a booking. And they go, oh, no, no, no, we just do walk-ins. Just come down. And, like, normally if you walk into a nail place and you say, hey, I just want X, Y, Z, and they go, oh, great, yep, sit down, we'll be five minutes.

Or they go, do you want to go get some lunch? Come back in 20 and we can seat you then. Great. And it's a real, like, a bit like, you know, when you go to the barber? Yep. And they just go, oh, yeah, we can fit you in, dude. Don't make an appointment. Like, it'll be fine.

But you know what I know is that you don't like that. Well, apparently American Tony loves it because I was like, I need to get my nails done. I'll go tomorrow. And I was like, I don't need a booking. It's getting my nails done. You just walk in. You just rock in.

And so I walked into this place and it was it was busy um and they go hey what's your name and i was like oh my name's tony i don't have a booking and just a look on her face like i had shit on her puppy dog and i was like this is a point of cultural difference you don't do walk-ins at nail salons in New York And I think I'm about to learn a very big lesson Okay, now when you say, I don't know, it's a podcast no one else can see But can you show me on your face what a shitting on your puppy looks like? The shitting or the reaction? The reaction to the shitting

I was going to say, I'm going to need a bit of time I'm going to do the shitting now the reaction? The reaction to the shitting. I was going to say, I'm going to need a bit of time. I don't know how to do the shitting now. Another coffee? Yeah. No, just a reaction, thanks. Yeah, that was good. Thanks. For those playing along at home.

It was good. The brows were, yeah, it was good. It was good. The brows were down, the mouth was open. There was like, it was sort of a, I would say, a mix between shock and disgust, but not one stronger than the other. That's exactly what I was going for. And this is exactly what she gave me.

And I was like, and she's like, you don't have a booking. We're fully booked. And I was like, oh, all good. Like, just thought I'd try my luck. Yeah. Chill as. I never like that. Are you sure that's what you said?

No. A hundred percent. How many times did you apologize? No, I didn't apologize at all. I literally was like, oh, good. I just thought I'd try my luck. And she was just like, oh, okay. And I was like, I can come back.

And she goes, looks at the iPad, maybe tomorrow. And I was like, oh, okay. Anyway, and I was like, oh, good, babe. So I was actually here to get my nails done, not some fucking attitude. And I was like, oh, good, babe. Thank you. Have a good day. And I walked out.

Anyway, so I walked around to eight different salons. Three of them were, like, upstairs and it's like, blah, address level six. And then I got there and I couldn't, like, figure out where the stairs were. So I was like, cool, next one. Next one. And I walked into a few and did the same thing. I'm like, hey, don't have a booking. And they're like, what the fuck? And I walk into a few and did the same thing. I'm like, hey, you don't have a booking? And they're like, what the fuck?

And I walk into this place and this is the most New York person I've ever seen in my life. And I walk in and she's like, you got a booking? And I was like, hi, my name's Tony. No, I don't have a booking. Just wondering if you've got any time. And she goes, a walk'm walking in New York City. I was like, oh, yeah, like, yeah.

But yes. Yeah. And she's like, Times Square, New York City, I'm walking. You need a booking. And I was like, oh, good. So I was actually looking for a nail artist, not a fucking narrator. Not a fucking caricature of a fucking like.

And anyway, she's like, she just disbelieved. A walk-in, New York City. And I was like. When you left, she would have gone and told that story to every single person. Can you believe this is what happened? That is what happened. Because as I was walking out, she goes, you believe this?

A walk-in, New York City, Times Square, the Big Apple. Like, I'm not even kidding. It was like fucking Ray Romano worked there and he was telling this story. Anyway, and so that happened. I was like, that is the most New York thing that's ever happened, as if she didn't hand me a slice of pizza and say, I'm walking you. I was a walk in here, okay? I'm a walk in here.

Yeah. And anyway, I end up going to the last place on the block, the eighth fucking salon. Eight from eight. And they go, and they're not that busy. And I'm like, oh, I'll try my luck. And I'm like, hey, I don't have a booking. I'm just really hoping I've got acrylics.

I just need them refilled. And she's just like, okay. And a color change. And I was like, yeah. And she goes, okay. She's like looking at my hands like this. She's like 95. And I went 95.

Like that's kind of expensive. Well, so before I left Australia, I took my sister out. We both got acrylic nails. We both got pedicures. And it was 200. Is this an episode of Clueless? Literally. my sister out. We both got acrylic nails. We both got pedicures. Oh, I think this is an episode of Clueless. Literally. Me and my sister, now get in there. A walk-in! That was a walk-in, actually. And it was $220 for us to both get our hands and our feet done. And she goes, it'll be $95. And I was like, oh, that's

expensive, but not too bad. Not even thinking about the exchange rate. So that ends up, 90 wax is like $140 Australian or something. Anyway, whatever. Who cares? I'm on holiday. And so I walk in. I walk in and she starts doing the thing. She does like an amazing job.

She spends ages with me. Show me again. Yeah, slick. She does a great job and we're chatting and it's all fine. And then at the end, we go to the front desk and she goes, oh, it's 95, but I'll give you 10% off if you pay with cash. It's a bit of a dodgy joint going on. We don't pay tax here, great. I go and I was like, oh, I don't have, I'll just do the card. And she goes, we've got an ATM. And she points me to this fucking hideous machine that looks like it would just eat my body if I gave it a chance.

Like one of the old, like, the drag across. Well, that was the ATM and it's just like, look dodgy as. And I was like, oh, playing dumb. I go, oh, all my cards are Australian. I don't think it works. Because I was like, just let me play with the card. I just want to go. Yep.

And so she goes, oh, okay. So I give her my card and it beeps. Yep. And then I said, and this is for you. And I took $25 cash. So you do have cash. Well, I didn't have enough cash to pay. But you do have cash.

Because then I was like, so what's $90, $95 plus $25, what's that? $110, $120. Yeah. I didn't have $120 on me. Right, yeah. Because who the fuck would have that much cash on them? Anyway, and so she taps the thing, it beeps. I'm like, cool, that's gone through.

And I say, and this is for you. And I hand her the $25. And then she goes, oh, no, no, no, no, no. Like, oh, she goes, thank you. Takes the money. And then she goes, I need you to sign this receipt. Yeah. So, you know, like in America, when you go to a restaurant,

they bring you the receipt, you give them the card, they pre-authorize the amount. Yeah. Then you add the tip amount and you sign it. And it's like a little contract that you say, yep, the dinner was $50. I've tipped you $10. You're allowed to take 60 off my card she gives me the receipt and goes oh and like the 25 tip pop that on there as well no i've already given that to you

i'm like oh yeah record keeping coming from the fucking nail place that's like, if you pay cash, we'll fucking give you a discount. This doesn't sound like a record keeping place. No, it doesn't. Anyway, and I'm like, okay, great. So I've given her $25 cash. I write that I've given her a $25 tip. Have checked the bag statements recently, sweetheart. Well, so this is the thing.

Today, before we were starting to record, I'm like, oh, did I buy that thing? Did that thing go through whatever? And I'm scrolling through my bank accounts from like last fucking week and I see that it's not a $95 fucking transaction that's come out. It's $120 fucking dollars. You got Jennifer Lopez'd. But then I'd also given her cash. Yeah.

You've almost. So I paid $145 US to get my nails done, which is like $210 Australian dollars. That's fucking crazy. Hang on. I'm going to do some quick math. Very quick transaction maths. Do you want to know what percentage tip you gave her? On an already expensive as fuck service?

What? 52.6% tip. Didn't they see that foreigner coming? I might as well have taken my second pair of hands and gotten them done as well. I could have taken Libby out for nails when I got home for as much as I paid for my refills. Not even fully new nails, refills.

And I just, I can't believe that up until this point, I have not been hustled for a tip. I thought tipping's really easy. You actually don't need to know that much and it's like all fine. And then this beautiful woman who does a good job on my nail, apparently I'm just anyone's. And I've just like given her all this money. Now, when you say you're anyone's.

You know, you got guts this time. You're like, do you want me to do your nails for you? But do you feel like you've had the full New York experience though? Is that part of the trip? Oh, that's a good question. Like did you experience everything? I went to a show. I had a hot dog. I saw the ice skating.

I got swindled. Like fucking it feels right. I just, I feel so, because I was like, I'm going to give you cash for the tip because. Yeah. Then I know that you get it and someone else doesn't get it. I went to the barber and you tipped through the machine. It was a separate machine, but it was a machine nonetheless. And I kind of went, where's this going?

Yeah. Who's getting this? And that's why they say, like, before we came, they were like, oh, if you can, especially for a service person, make sure you give it directly to them because then it doesn't, you know, go to the business or whatever. Do you like my hair from the barber? I do. And I noticed as soon as you had it done, it does look very fresh.

Well, I've got a story about that next week because I was, you've been power played here, obviously. Yeah. I feel like I was also power've been power played here, obviously. Yeah. I feel like I was also power played but in a different kind of way. Oh. But I think we can all agree that the results speak for themselves. Okay. Okay, we can't all agree.

We're just one of us. I agree. Great, great, great. I've got to love to see it. Amazing. We had dinner with Kathy Bates the other night. Real highlight of the trip. That's so great.

It was a real highlight of the trip. In two restaurants. Twice. We had dinner with her twice. We actually... Two restaurants. She, I think Kathy Bates was following us around. I, yeah, I mean, maybe she was a bit miserable.

She's in misery. Because... She must have had a late night. She's in a late night movie. She plays Jay Leno. She must have wanted a Titanic feed. She's in Titanic. Titanic, yeah. When the waiter came over, she just said, I'll just have some water, boy. She plays Jay Leno. She must have wanted a Titanic feed. She's in Titanic. When the waiter came over, she just said, I'll just have some water, boy.

She said water, boy. Oh, good. But yeah, dining with her was great. So we were early for dinner. So we had a pre-dinner somewhere else, which wasn't supposed to be a pre-dinner. It was supposed to be a cup of tea. We were like, oh, we could get a little coffee, just kill a bit of time. And then it ended up being a charcuterie board.

Yeah, I go, hey, guys, I'm pretty sure that's Kathy Bates. And you're like, I'm pretty sure it's not. But it was. And then we left pre-dinner. It was her. I'll back it. It was her. And then we went from pre-dinner to dinner.

Yeah. And Cam's facing the door and he goes, guys, you'll never guess who's walked in. It's Kathy Bates. And we were at a place where like like celebs frequent it's actually believable that kathy bates would be there and so i was like what are the odds that just before we saw fake kathy bates and now kathy bates is here but both times it was fake kathy bates kathy fakes kathy fakes um but i was like i was like what are the chances?

I was like, oh, pre-dinner as well? Because we were like only idiots are dumb enough to pre-dinner before dinner. The thing is, is that we're saying pre-dinner and it makes it sound a bit like, oh, you went to lunch. No, our booking was at 5.30. It was four o'clock. We went, oh, we'll just kill a bit of time. We got a coffee. We literally ate from four till 5.15.

Yep. And then we walked to the next restaurant. We should have split a cab of time. We literally ate from 4 till 5.15. Yep. And then we walked to the next restaurant. We should have split a cab with Kathy. We rolled almost to the next fucking restaurant and then ate from 5.30 till 7.30. Like, it's not like, do not take pre-lunch, pre-dinner lightly. Yeah. Kathy Bates didn't. We didn't.

She loved it. Kathy fakes. Yeah. I hope she tipped as well as I did at the Nile place. Well, she wouldn't have. She wouldn't have tipped 52% at that place. No. Although fakes. Yeah. I hope she tipped as well as I did at the Nile place. Well, she wouldn't have. She wouldn't have tipped 52% at that place. No. Although she's done all right.

Yeah, she was in Titanic. Waterboy, the one you said. The Late Shift. The Late Shift. Oh, the Late Night. Late Night. I think it's called the Late. It's a story about Jay Leno versus.

You said Late Night. It's about Late Night and it's called the Late Shift. You said Late Night. Anyway. Should we get Kathy Bates on the show? The fake one. Probably pretty easy to get. We've run into her a lot of times. If we just go to any restaurant, I'm sure she'll turn up.

My Love to See It is from Destiny Martin, who shared this in our Facebook group. Destiny says, you love to see it. Growing up, both my parents dropped out of school and most of my siblings didn't finish school or go to uni. Are you joking me? Destiny says, however, not only did I finish school and I'm the first in my family to go to uni,

I've also been offered two scholarships. Huge. One that covers all my university fees and one that supplies me with 10K each year that I study, which can go directly to living costs and personal items like a car or a computer or my books because they're really expensive. Oh, my God, yeah. I am super blessed and super proud. And just so that everybody knows, Destiny, that Ryan just then wasn't saying,

are you joking because of Destiny's story. He obviously also has the same. You'll Have to See It written down. And I definitely won't be doing that again tomorrow because I pay attention to Tony. Yeah, beautiful. And we'll definitely never repeat You'll Have to See It. Beautiful. That's not my area. Yeah.

Oh, well, you wouldn't forget to edit that out. Just fucking save it a bit. But hang on. However, Destiny, you deserve your moment because that is huge. Yeah, well done. Being the first one in your family to achieve something a bit different, that's really, really cool and we're very proud of well done. Being the first one in your family to, like, achieve something a bit different, that's really, really cool and we're very proud of you. Are you the first engineer in your family?

Yep. I am, actually. How's that feel? Yeah, pretty fucking good. Yeah, I bet it does. Yeah. You deserve it. Thanks.

Nice flex. It's mom. Are you the first person in your family that's met Kathy Pines? first name in your family that's met Kathy Bates. Tony's fallen over. For those playing along at... She's on the ground crying. For those playing along at home, Tony just asked if I was the first in my family

to meet Kathy Bates. Yeah. That's huge for you. I'm also the first in my family to get a walk-in at a barbershop in Manhattan. A walk-in in New York City. Times Square. Yeah, you're joking me. The Big Apple.

Tomorrow, a Kathy Bates tribute show. Tomorrow, Kathy Bates is on the show. Live with Kathy Bates. On the light shift. Hopefully that show goes better than the Titanic. Goes down well. Tomorrow. You're like me.

Sorry. Lots of people died, mate. Being sucked off by you. Tomorrow. Oh, no. Yeah, guys, there's a new walk of shame. There's actually a few walk of shames that have happened on this trip. Yeah.

And I think, as you'll hear tomorrow, Tony being the pioneer and innovator that she is, has maybe, like like coined a new phrase Or brought a new something into our lexicon That everyone can use Or a new phenomenon that you're like Oh someone's put a name to that And when we look it up in 20 years
