Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Author Tony Lodge. And we are calling... I always forget God's Country and the Motherland. So God's Country is WA. The Motherland is New Zealand. We're calling God's Country with a dry heat, ladies and gentlemen.

It's a fucking dry heat at the moment as well. It's Jackie Mack. I'm going to call her Jack Mack. And she's in Perth. Let's call her. Jackie Mack. Woo! It's going to. I'm going to call her Jack Mack and she's in Perth. Let's call her. Jackie Mack. Woo. It's going to be early over there.

It's going to be early, yeah. Hello. Jack Mack. Hello. How are you? Oh, we thought there was no way you were going to answer. We're looking at the clock going, oh, minus three hours. My son's going to kill me. He was like, oh, my God, you better wake me up when they call. And I was like, shit, minus three hours. Yeah. My son's going to kill me.

He was like, oh, my God, you better wake me up when they call. And I was like, shit, they're early. Oh, are we early? Oh, we are early. That's never happened. You know me, always on time and punctual and on time. I knew this was going to happen. Oh, you know what?

It's either that or we're a week late. So, Jackie, take what you get. I feel, yeah. I'll take it. I'll take it. And how would you describe the heat in Perth today? Mate, you have

you said Perth heat was dry. It is so dry at the moment. It's ridiculous. It's a bloody dry heat. It's a bloody dry heat. I never knew what it meant until Tony said it. And you're welcome. You heard it here first. Jackie, will you're welcome. You're welcome. You heard it here first.

Jackie, will you approve today's episode? Hell yes. It's a dry approval. It's a dry joke. Sorry. Hi, it's Jackie? I'm really sorry. I've fucked our Monday straight up. Sorry.

What a terrible start to the week for everyone. I'm so sorry. You know how on Friday I said, oh, I always think that the first time I do something I'm going to be a prodigy. Yeah, so I thought that about sourdough and I've done that and it's fucked. Yeah, it didn't go that well.

I'm going to keep, I really enjoyed it though. Yeah. And that's what's important. Isn't that the saddest line ever? I actually really had fun doing it and like every 30 minutes my little timer would bing off and I'd have to go and like fucking do the thing. But it did not go well.

I'm really trying to like lean into my new love of being in the house. Yeah. Is sourdough, is that just a thing that you cook or is it like a love and a hobby like it's? I think it's a hobby. I think and I also have a hobby of eating it. So I think it's like the two, it's complimentary. We share a hobby.

We can hang out and eat bread together. I'd actually love that. Not this loaf though. Let me get better. No, no. No, I need like a – no, no. Let me eat some of this one because it's like a baseline. So then when you start dominating, I'll be like, fuck, she's taken off.

That's even better. But I had like a thing of over the weekend that like with a little bandana on, with a little like hessian sack that I'd like pop over to my sister's house and I'd be like, I've both baked you some bread. But it wasn't good. I'd just like to make a note here. Again, it's that I think I'm going to be so good at stuff. I'm so optimistic.

If you think about this from the other way, I'm like such a positive girl. One thing that is on brand is that before you cooked anything, A, is believing you'd be a prodigy, but B, it's like you'd thought about what you were wearing. I've got a headband. I've got this cute little thing and I'll do this other thing and I'll do this. I saw the scene, not literally because I can't do that,

but I saw in my head like what this would look like and how it would feel to give someone the bread. Isn't that selfless? You know, I thought I was going to be so good at something that I wanted to share it with my family. Okay. This is Tony's definition of selfless. I thought I was going to be awesome and I wanted to show off in front of people so they

would know how great I was. How selfless. No, don't put words in my mouth. I said that I wanted to pop around and be like, oh, some bread for your day. If you had spent that time thinking about all those things into actually making the bread, would it have gone better? I did put all that time into the bread. Okay.

Did you put the love into the bread? What was missing? Why are you being so nasty? No, I want to know where the gap is. No, that was a nasty thing to say. Oh, if you'd put that time into making it, you would have just done it. You know, it takes like a full day. Yeah.

Or like, you know, a full cycle. So do you know where it went wrong though? Actually, no, it takes like. You got an idea? I've got an idea of- I do have an idea of what I would change next time. I think I might have overproofed in one of the sections and that's why it like dropped down. I'm also going to put rice flour into my banneton next time.

I don't know what that means, but it sounds good. Yeah, thanks. Actually, it's sort of similar. Is there a chore in your life that you actually love? I feel like chores are supposed to be this thing we have to do uh but sometimes people actually want to do them so my i've never called him a father-in-law but bridget's dad yeah logan yeah he comes over and you know they're from new zealand so that when they come over they like stay for a week yeah and usually they're great

they are great and then they came yeah to one of the auctions with you. Yeah. So I think like when you're a guest in the house, if Bridget does the cooking, then I'll do the cleaning. That's sort of the rule. Like one cooks, the other cleans. If you cook, you don't clean. So I'm starting to do this and Logan goes, oh, let me grab that plate.

And I was like, no, no, you're a guest. Yeah. Bridget's done the cooking. Take a look. I'll do the cleaning. You get a cup of tea. All good. And he goes, I actually like it.

He goes, I find it really satisfying and almost meditative to kind of just like get in the zone and just be – and he goes, other stuff, take it or leave it, but just let me do this. I'd actually love to do it. So do you mean by cleaning up, do you mean like restacking the dishwasher or doing the dishes or whatever? Dishwasher, rinsing the plate, like basically taking everything off the dinner table and putting it into the dishwasher and rinsing and doing all that.

And he goes, yeah, it just is satisfying for me. I like that. And if you're listening to our podcast and been listening for a while. Yeah. Welcome. You know Tony. You know her by now. And you know that Tony doesn't like admin. No, I don't like admin. You know that Tony doesn't like getting bogged down in like all the stuff. Logistics chat. You know that Tony doesn't want just random annoying things on her to-do list.

She'd rather be an easy breezy beautiful cover girl with nothing to do. Dropping the bread off. And ladies and gentlemen, do I have a fucking surprise for you. This isn't a... no. Considering all those things. Yeah. I get this text. Last night usually on a Sunday night there'll be a text between what time are you in tomorrow? All good, blah, blah, blah.

Tony goes, you know how I got that mower the other day? I cannot wait for you to come over and see how good my lawn is. I went back to Bunnings and I got an edger and spent an hour or so trimming it perfectly. It's looking sharp as on the sides. You really got to come around and see it. I've spent most of the day doing it. It looks great. No wonder the sourdough didn't do well. Yeah, I was out in the lawn, out doing the lawn. Now, I messaged Torbs after you sent this to me. Did he mention this? No, he didn't. Yeah, you're low on his priority list, so don't mention it. Do you want to read this or do you want me to read what I sent to him? No, you didn't. Yeah, you're low on his priority list, so don't mention it.

Do you want to read this or do you want me to read what I sent to him? No, you read it. Has someone stolen Tony's phone? She's messaging about her love for the lawn. Feels off brand. Has she been hacked? That's hacked. And then Torbs has replied, ha-ha, good gear, Ryan, thank you.

Oh, he wouldn't have put a ha-ha in there for you. Look at the first four letters of that reply. Oh. Ha-ha, she is the lawn queen of our family. All of the outdoors is her doing. That's very sweet of Torbs and it is true. And I have fucking slayed my lawn. I've got a lot to learn still.

Would you say you're a prodigy? I don't think I'm a lawn prodigy but I really enjoy it and I think that there is just something to be said about like getting out and doing it. I actually really like that you're just doing something, like with your hands, you're out in the sun, it's like fresh air, and it's so satisfying after because you can like see your handiwork. I don't know.

I think I've said this like if it's a man thing, which in hindsight is probably dumb, but a lot of my friends were like tradies and when they finished a job, they're like, I built this with my hands and now I can see what I've built. And I'm always, because we're in audio on computers. There's not a lot to show for what we do. Yeah, and there's like never like making anything with your hands. Is that just like a real old school like?

Apparently though, I was reading about the like science of doing things with your hands. It's like really good for your brain. Yeah. To, like, see a connection of, like, physically doing something and then seeing the outcome. It's, like, really good for your brain, like, mental health. So when in your life, and this could have just-

Sorry, are we moving on? Because I really want to show you my lawn. No, no, we're not moving on, mate. We've got a lot to go through. Oh, good, because I've got some great photos. I love to shoot. When in your life, Tony, and it could have been fucking 4 o'clock yesterday for all I know, that you went, oh, lawns.

Because do you agree before you started doing the lawn, you would never have expected to be a lawn lady? No, no, no, no. And I would have never even thought. I would have been like, oh, that just is a thing that's in the – like so we've never had a lawn before. Yeah. And so when we moved in here, it was like,

I think I told the story about how it was really long. It got out of control. It was out of control and Pippa was getting lost in there. And so. Pippa's so little. Yeah, she's so small. You can just see the top of the grass moving. I think she's over in the corner.

Or it might be a snake. Like there was just no way of telling. And then we got someone just from like a, Jim's mowing or something came and just cut it right down. And then we got someone just from like a Jim's Mowing or something came and just cut it right down and then the lawn got shocked because it had been so long and it all died. And I was like, oh, it was really nice when it was lush. And then I was like, hang on, it's got to be made lush again.

I'm going to do some research. Yeah. And so I never thought I'd be a lawn person because it just like never crossed my mind. But now it's just so satisfying and I water it and I bloody look at it. I love it. So I've also never been a lawn guy in terms of like doing the lawn. However, when I lived in Bunbury, do you know where I used to live?

Like near Hungry Hollows? Yeah. There was a guy on the street that goes up there and he just. Because it's like up a hill. The guy on the top of the hill, the. There was a guy on the street that goes up there and he just. Because it's like up a hill. The guy on the top of the hill, the front lawn was like carpet. It was beautiful. That sounds good.

And even though I'd never had a desire to do a lawn, I would drive past his house every day and just go, oh. Nice. Like if he was out the front, I'd put the window like, fucking sick lawn, bro. You can appreciate a good lawn. Or when you stand on a nice lawn with like bare'll put the window like, fucking sick lawn, bro. You can appreciate a good lawn. Or when you stand on a nice lawn with like bare feet and you're like, isn't that just luxury?

Yeah. Am I ready? I actually, I don't know. There is still work to be done. Oh, no, don't back down now. No, no, no, but I'm really proud of it. Okay. Ryan's looking at the picture of my lawn.

It's beautiful. You saw it before. I've seen that. Have you Photoshopped this? No. No colour correction. Let me turn the brightness up for you. Hang on.

No. No, it's. I know that no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I did. No, I didn't actually. So I entered into the Bosch ecosystem and so all the batteries fit the same thing and you can't buy Bosch at Bunnings so you've got to buy it on Amazon. But I did buy an Edge, oh yeah. Let me show you a picture of my Edges. Can I swipe across? Yep. Oh, not too far, but yeah.

Oh, my God. Are you at the Edges? It's a curved edge. Yeah, it fucking is. Oh, my God. Yeah, it fucking is. You're a prodigy. Yes!

You're a prodigy. I finally did it. Fuck, that fucking is. You're a prodigy. Yes! You're a prodigy. I finally did it! Fuck, that is sick. Doesn't that look good? No, are you being a dick? No. Are you being a dick? This is what I want to do.

I want to get you, Torbs, and Pippa like a lunch voucher to get you out of the house, and then I want to lay on your lawn on my back naked. You can do that while I'm home, sweetheart. Are you being a dick? It looks really good, eh? I'm not being a dick. And you saw it when it was on its fucking last legs.

That wasn't that long ago, though. No, it wasn't. You've fucking pulled off a miracle here. And there's been some really hot days in Melbourne. I swiped across and saw some sourdough picks and they're not looking as good as the lawn. No. But that's okay. I'm that's okay I'm still learning

still learning about the bread that is just stunning doesn't it look good I'm actually really really proud of it and do you like my lines in the lawn as well like I've mowed the lawn you could get like a check in like a crisscross yeah okay so you've got to buy a machine for that

and I have looked into it a bit expensive for me at the moment yeah you've got to it's called there that and I have looked into it. A bit expensive for me at the moment. Yeah, you've got to buy – it's called – there's a name, a lawn guy. Actually, sorry, I've seen the future, ladies and gentlemen. I've seen the future. What did you scroll to? No, no, no, no. Oh.

No, in my mind because I have an imagination. In your mind's eye. Just to give people an idea, size of your lawn. I'm going to say three metres long and maybe ten metres wide wide sounds a bit like the amount of carpet we needed to buy don't fucking it actually probably probably similar to this about that so what's that three by five or something let's say three by five yeah yeah it's not it's not very big but it's it's not you use it. Okay, I've seen the future because I know Tony loves to fucking buy random shit on the internet. I actually.

Don't make fun of me. I found my passion. What is the ratio? What am I asking here? Oh, how much can you spend on a little lawn? No. Oh. How little can a lawn be but you can still justify getting a right on mower?

Oh, wow. See, I think this is the thing, right? Right on mower. Yeah. You can't be very tight. Well, that's what I'm saying. That's why I bought the edger. If you've got a full football ground, sure.

In your old courtyard, despite how big it was, no grass. No grass. You would need a right on mower with a really tight turning circle. You need a Yaris. Like my old Yaris. I don't know if you guys know this. When I had a Yaris in the car park, I turned around and ran into the back of myself because that's how good the turning circle is.

So tight. Ryan loves it tight. If there's a Yaris, can I get you a ride on mower? If it's a Yaris, yes. Okay. Does anyone know of a turd, a Yaris ride on Mower that can, but we can't get, we'd have to crane it in. Yes.

Yeah, we'd crane it in. And then we couldn't get it out. Yeah, no. And I wouldn't even be able to, I'd just reverse backwards and forwards. But at the same time, if you were rolling your car on it, then it would be, it would kill it. No, like it would like. Tony.

Yeah. I know I was like setting you up before because I was like, you don't like admin, you don't like stuff. This is very, and it is off brand, don't get me wrong. But I need you to look me in the eye. I'm really proud of you. That's actually incredible. It's beautiful. Thank you.

And that's like a few months work, you know. And it pays off. The satisfaction that I'm getting from like. What's Pippa thing? Pippa loves it. I'm sure she does. And the other week it got a little was getting a little bit long because I hadn't bought the edger yet. And I was like, oh, fuck, I've really got to

I've really got to get out there. And I looked forward to doing it. Whereas most of I'm like, oh, I don't really want to do that today. But I was like, no, no, no. And I put on my Bunnings hat and I go out there and I do my little lawn. I've got a big straw Bunnings hat. How good are they? We've got one at home as well.

I've got something to say. What? I've got a – I know confessions are usually on Tuesday, but I've got a confession. You thought my lawn was going to be shit? No, no, no, no. Well, yeah, but that's not a confession. Yeah, well, yeah.

My wife stole a Bunnings hat from Bunnings. That's disgusting. That's also off-brand because Bridget would never. No, would never. She's like me. So we're walking around Bunnings and she just like pops it on her head. Yeah. And then we'll get into some bits and pieces and whatever and then just forgot it was on her head and just walked out. Did she do the go back there and pay for one and then not take it with her?

No, because then that's admitting to your crime. So she was just like, well, I kind of got away with it and I'm scared and I don't know what to do. But she had all these thoughts. You just outed her on this podcast. I know. And even though Bunnings generates $57 billion a year, I think losing the 99 cents for that straw hat could bring them

to their knees. I'm not being funny and I'm not trying to make Bridget feel bad, but those hats are like $8. What the fuck? Yeah, they're really expensive. Really? Yeah. I just bought some recently.

Well, because I bought myself one. I wouldn't mind a hat. I was like, you don't do anything in the garden sit inside and program software in fairness though he does the dishes because i don't like that yeah but in fairness that's inside it is inside yeah yeah the skylight i don't know um i am really proud of you thank you should we put those some of those pics in the i think we should in the episode because i'm really proud of them. Yeah, you should be. I do have a lot to learn still and I think that it can only get better

from here but I'm so proud of my progress. And please keep us updated with photos. Oh, yes, absolutely. And I've never, Tony and I have never texted back and forth about edging more in our life. Yeah, yeah, normally we're doing it together. I don't know if it's that comment or the lawn, but I'm fucking revved up.

It's the pride. I think you can feel it glowing out of me. Yeah. Hi, it's Jackie from Perth and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout-out to a few of our champion tapas. Hopefully they're big fans of my lawn as well. Megan Gito, thank you, Megan. Thanks, Megan.

English Sal, thank you, Sal. Christian Keeling, good on you, Christian. Leah Dorfer and Hannah Bucknell, thank you so much, everybody. I really hope that those champion tapas really enjoyed our live stream on Frano. I hope they did too. Yeah. Moe, moe, moes. I was about to say, yeah, I was pretty dusty.

That's all right. That's okay. These things happen. This time next week, Easter Monday, we will be in Tony's corporate box as Tony's team, the Hawthorne Hawks, take on the Geelong Cats. And as you know, it's been our long-time rival, don't you, Tony? It has been our long-time rival. There's a big game every year.

Now, we said to Tarpers, if you want to come in Tony's box, register, and we're going to call you. And if you answer with, I want to come in Tony's box, then you and a friend are invited to tony's corporate box where all the drinks all the food i think we've got our own like like waiter person that kind of helps get you drinks and stuff is that me because if i get no you're a guest okay good it's your box to live it up in luxury because hawthorne wanted you

to have the best experience for your first ever hawthorne game. Yeah, at the MCG. 100,000 seats. If there is no, it needs to be an enthusiastic, I want to come in Tony's box. We will not accept a hello and then realising. No, no, no. Straight away. You have to go hard out. It has to be that.

And if you don't answer, bad luck. We move on. We've got a little, what have we got? Go on. I've pumped all the people that entered into wheelofnames.com, which is actually. It sounds fake. You put all the names in and it does a little.

That's why I went. I was watching the wheel of names. All right. First up we have. It truly is a wheel of fortune. You just realized. They should have called the show that. I see what you're saying.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who are we calling? If you were the host of any game show, what would it be? The Chase. Didn't even have to think about it. I love that show. I love that show also, but I feel like there's a lot of like big pronunciation.

You have the pressures on you. Yeah, you would be very. Oh, you've got to be quick. That's what I mean because imagine the countdown's on and it's me going, wheel of name. Oh, hang on. I think you, and then the time runs out. Skip that one.

And they lose. And you go, pass. And they go, no, that's me. Yeah, so I couldn't do a time one. Yeah, that's a really good point. I know my strengths. Yep. But I really know my weaknesses.

Should we do this though? Wheel of names. Georgia. I want to come and show you. Georgia, you're coming to the football. Georgia, you're coming in my box. Oh my god, Oh, my God. Thank you so much.

I've got goosebumps. Oh, my God. I'm so excited. Thank you guys so much. I'll be honest, Georgia, I heard the moment of hesitation where you went, do I back this in? And you did and you did and that's amazing. Oh, God, I'm so happy.

Thank you so much. Georgia, is there any chance that you answered a call saying that and it wasn't us? I was waiting on a call from the vet, so I was very, yeah. And I'm like, if it's bad news as well, like, this is not going to be good. Okay, well, sorry for your dog being dead or whatever is going on. Do you want to come in my box?

No, but your dog's died, so. Yeah, literally. Oh, okay. Well, Georgia, keep it light. Keep it bright. Have a great day, mate. Don't bring that energy to the box. Love you.

Bye. Love you, Georgia. Love you guys. Bye. Bye. All right. Wheelofnames.com. Okay.

We got Molly. Molly. I was going to be called Molly, so I feel like I've got a good feeling about it. Okay, Molly is a flight attendant and she said I might be in the airport. She might be flying. Is she flying? She answers the satellite phone. What happens if you use your phone on the plane?

Question for a different time. Or it could be a question for right now. That's right. Oh, it's ringing. So it means it's not on airplane mode. No pun intended. I want to come in Toby's box. Yeah.

That wasn't that enthusiastic, Molly. Are you sure? That wasn't that enthusiastic, Molly. I'll give you one more. I'll give you one chance to give us an enthusiastic enthusiastic, Molly. I'll give you one more. I'll give you one chance to give us an enthusiastic one, Molly. I want to come in Tony's boat! Now set the scene for us, Molly.

Where are you going? Where are you? I'm actually sitting on the lounge room couch with my dog and my best friend and we are in, where do we live? Bandura. How anticlimactic, oh, just down the road. Just down the road, yeah. How anticlimactic?

We were hoping you'd be in the airport like going through security or something. No, that was yesterday and I was like, I thought you guys were in yesterday. So I said to Tess because she flies with me, I was like, what if they ring me and we're like boarding passengers well we call you in the lounge room instead and we can't fucking wait to see you i'm so excited thank you so much guys it's a pleasure you're welcome is that your mate who's

coming with you that i just heard yell in the background it is yeah right, next up we're going to have, it says Taylor. My heart is beating so fast. It says here, I take a lot of work calls. I'm nervous is what Taylor has said. Okay, all right. Now James has suggested we give it a pause and let them sit in a bit. Are we down for that? Yeah, I am.

And given that she's waiting on a work call, I think that it's only fair to fuck with her a little bit. I want to come in Tony Fox. Hello? Hello? No, it's a key! Oh, sorry, Taylor. We couldn't resist. Oh my God, my heart just dropped.

I'm running through work trying to get outside. No, you're coming in my box. How good's that? Yes! And Taylor, who do you go for? Well, my partner goes for Hawthorne, so I'm going to say Hawthorne. Great. Good answer.

Here we go. All right. Next is... Sorry,. Here we go. All right. Next is. Sorry, just waiting for wheelofnames.com. Andrew. Can you believe the website makes that noise? I actually can't. The website doesn't make any noise and it feels really anticlimactic.

A celebrity. In our celebrity box. You're going to have a celebrity in your box, Tony. A celebrity's never come in my box before. I don't count you as a celebrity. We'll see if we both do the same thing. Are we doing the pause again? I can't actually sit still.

Sorry. Pause. I want to come in Tony's box. Sorry. The big Glees are coming to the footage. The big Glees. Hey, hey. That was very good.

The Big Glees, we are thrilled to talk to you. Have you answered any calls saying that that weren't us? No, unfortunately. Oh, that is a shame. We really hope you get some telety markers off guard. Yeah. Well, the Big Glees, you come into the footy with us and we can't fucking wait. Awesome.

Sweet. See you soon, Glees. Awesome. See you soon. All right. I'll book me tickets. Wait. It's all happening.

Book your tickets? Tickets for what? You're going to fly down. Where do you live? I live in Brisbane. Oh, my God. I need to stay at Tapa. I mean, are you happy and willing to do that?

I feel bad. Have we forced you into this, Big Glees? No. No? We love the footy, so. Okay. And it was just my partner's 40th birthday just the other day, and we didn't really do anything, and we were looking for what to do,

and this was just an excuse to get away and do something and hang out with some fun people. Now the big Glees. Is she going to be your plus one? Yeah, I was going to say no pressure, but she's the plus one, right? Yeah. That's good gear from the Glees. Maybe we can do a little birthday cupcake or something.

We can do that. That would be nice. Don't tell her, big Glees. That's going to be surprising. Yeah. Yeah, awesome. Oh, fuck yeah. We're going. Fuck, I won't tell her. Big Glees. That's going to be a surprise. Yeah. Yeah, awesome. Oh, fuck yeah. I'll tell her we're going.

Fuck, I won't tell her. That's really – oh, well, we can't wait to celebrate with you. And, yeah, we'll see you in Melbourne. I hope the tickets aren't too expensive, mate. Awesome. Legend. Well, thank you very much. Cheers, Big Glees.

We'll see you there. All right, up next is – saying – now, this is not my area with pronunciation, Aloise. Eloise, I guess. Eloise. Instead of Ryan saying Aloise. Don't judge me. This is perfect like work time, like people that work in offices and stuff.

Oh, my God. I want to come in Tony's box. Oh my God. Oh my God. She's done it. She's got her in the football. Oh my God. Oh my God.

Ryan, I'm sorry I didn't read your body language of do a pause and leave it hanging, but I couldn't. I had to just keep power. It's like, oh my God. Yay. I'm so excited. I'm to just keep power. It's like, oh, my God, yay! I'm so excited. I'm literally changing my flights because I live in Sydney and I'm in Melbourne that weekend and I'm changing them. I'm so excited. Oh, my God.

We will not be paying for the change. I know. I'm just joking. Don't worry. It's all planned out. Oh, my God. Oh. Paying us the picture, though, Eloise, where are you?

Like, where did you – are you in a shopping centre? Are you at the gym? Like where did you have to yell, I want to come in Tony's box? You're going to be so disappointed. I'm just working from home. Yesterday I was in the office and I was in meetings all day and I was like, I'm going to have to do it, I'll lose my job. But today I'm at home.

Oh, okay. Well, working from home, I mean, it's still high octane, isn't it? We all work from home sometimes. It's stressful. Yeah, it's stressful. Yeah, maybe. Now, Aloise, were you triggered a few weeks ago when we discussed the Melbourne accent?

What I meant to be? No. No, because Ryan keeps calling you Aloise.? Yeah, but Ryan keeps calling you Aloise. Because I don't see the difference between Aloise and Aloise and Tony keeps saying it's wrong. Yeah, look, everyone gets my name wrong anyway, so I'm just stoked you're saying Eloise instead of like, I don't know, something else.

Carl was the winner not alice okay one more spin yep it's saying julie and now that i've looked it up on the list it's julie not julia morris lady julie morris oh lady julie morris i'm concentrating really hard i hope you can just appreciate this for a second,

I think we've all been through this. Emily says, I felt really lost for the last couple of years.

Yeah. But after finishing my Masters of Nursing last year with a baby. That's fucking. Which is insane. And oh my God, like I don't do anything without kids. I don't know how people do it with kids. I'm chasing my dreams and I honestly have to thank you and the Tarpers for being such a supportive community.

But Emily's moving to fucking Victoria. Well, Emily, you still did it though. Yeah, like we... I mean, I'll take a compliment but you still did it. You're the one that got up every day and went and did their... Like, you're masters. That's insane. And if, Emily, your new place here in Victoria has a lawn.

Oh, mate, I know a good guy that can take care of that for you. I know a guy that can swing around and take care of that bad boy because it sounds like you're going to have enough on your plate. I'll put my Bosch in the back of the Audi and we'll fucking see you soon. Imagine hiring. That did roll off the tongue. It did feel right. It did.

But imagine you call someone and you go, can you go? Do my lawn and they pull up in an Audi hatchback. I'm here for the lawn and they go, can you do my lawn? And they pull up in an Audi hatchback. I'm here for the lawn. And they go, okay. It's electric. I'm just going to plug this in. All right. Well, yeah, you love to say it.
