This episode is sponsored by Audible and if you're into psychological thrillers, then listen up, this is for you. Oh, it is. Sacrilege Curse of the Mbui is the new audible original and it's bone chilling. Bone chilling. It stars Caleb McLaughlin, you know, Lucas from Strange Things, and it follows the story of the Wallace family whose trip to a luxury game reserve in Zimbabwe

quickly unravels. He unintentionally desecrates sacred ground and unleashes a supernatural force called the Mbui, a vengeful spirit born from centuries of colonial oppression. We're talking possessed animals, shape-shifting horrors, a vengeful spirit rooted in generations of colonial trauma. Now Daschen, that's Caleb's character, he has to face this curse and his own past to save what remains of his family. It's written and directed by visionary creator Nyasha Hatendi and presented in spectacular

Dolby Atmos. Think pulse pounding suspense with powerful explorations of identity and privilege. Listen to Sacrilege, Curse of the Mbuie now. Go to audible.ca slash sacrilege.

Toowoomba. Oh, too fast, too Woomba. Too fast, too Woomba, the home of the original Tarpathon. Great to meet another Toowoomban. Yeah. Toowoombiant. What do we call ourselves again? Remind me, cause I only live there for one year. Yeah, maybe Toowoombians.

I'm not really sure. Yeah. Just a couple of locals. Yeah, yeah. You must have a couple of others. Yeah, just a couple of locals. Yeah, we get it. It's a Toowoombian thing.

Bronwyn, will you approve today's podcast? Yes, definitely. I don't know if Toowoomba will. No, they will. They might have to fucking send us a cease and desist after. I'll approve it from Wondai. They might approve it here. The town of Wondai.

How many people in Wondai? Oh, about 2000, not very many. Yeah, and I feel like they approve. You really peaked with Wondai rescue out here. It's amazing. There's nothing better. Hi, this is Bronwyn from W day in Queensland and I approve this podcast. Did we hear Tony say what she has a shooted apples on in the start of the recording? On my porridge.

Sorry that I'm adorable. Sorry I'm a cute girl. You are a cute girl. You are a very cute girl. Hey. Very cute girl. What was that from? Oh, we had that I think.

Yeah, yeah. Very nice, very nice. Very nice, very cute little girl. Girl. Girl. Now, welcome to the show. We're doing Normal or Nah, because it's Thursday, and the song is...

This is Normal or Nah. Catherine Mee. Basically, Normal or Nah, you send us your stories and we decide whether it's normal or if it's nah. Yeah, thanks for submitting them in the Tony and Ryan Facebook group. Catherine Mee. No, Catherine, you. Food submitting them in the Tony and Ryan Facebook group. Catherine Mee.

No, Catherine, you. Food wrappers in the bathroom bin. Normal or nah. You know how we talked about the hierarchy of sinks? Yes, yeah. My partner will throw crisp packets or chocolate bar wrappers in the bathroom bin because it's closer than the kitchen

where he plays his video games. But when I see it, it makes me wonder if he's been snacking and shitting. Says Catherine, non-bathroom stuff in the bathroom bin makes me feel strange. It does normal. Do you think that's yeah, it's that's fucked up. I think that gives you the heebie jeebies. I also think bathroom stuff in the kitchen bin can throw you like a toilet roll in the kitchen bin or something?

Yeah, toilet roll, an empty toothpaste container. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or if you've been like flossing. And the floss, yeah, you like. It all goes to the same bin bin. Yeah. But no. I also just think that like, you know when you're like brushing your teeth and some people

like walk around the house and like do other things? That for me, that fucking, I think that is so fucking weird. Have you, you busy mate? You don't have enough time to spend two minutes brushing your fucking teeth that you need to walk around still probably doing nothing. Yeah, but you just like walking around like with, and I just hate it. Get over it, yeah. I do brush my teeth in the shower, so that probably also is like a bit different,

but like brushing your teeth and walking around, I'm like, so you're wearing like, you're either clean because you've already like had your shower and you're kind of like, oh yeah, like are you dressed? Cause I always, the reason I brush my teeth in the shower is because I always get shit all over myself. So I'm like, if I'm in the shower, easy as, if I get splattered with fucking toothpaste, because I don't like the texture of it cause it's like chalky and I don't like

smell cause it's minty. So I'm just like, oh, I can wash it all the way. And then I'm clean. That's all good. I was halfway through getting dressed for the webbies and I just like, oh, I can wash it all the way and then I'm clean. That's all good. I was halfway through getting dressed for the webbies and I was like, oh, brush my teeth. Cause you know what? And then I was like, no, not in these pants. Yeah. And so then undressed to brush my teeth. Yeah.

I just, I just can't imagine wearing clothes and doing, yeah, it's so weird to me. But when people walk around, they're like, oh, 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, said no one ever that was super millennial what's wrong with me the last week is really fucking epic yellow swag yellow swag is too cool for Tony still I would never say that no but epic that's boss what's wrong with me what is wrong with you if you have to diagnose it or put your finger in something like it might be weird because this morning Charles took a picture of me with the filter on that made me look bald and is that what you guys sent did you send that to me and it it didn't look that bad do you know know what I mean? So I'm having a little bit of an identity crisis. Hang on a second. We thought it would look so bad. Oh no, that's...

He literally just said, that's not what he said. Like I didn't. Then what's his other video Sophie sending me? Oh wow. That was for when you asked me. That is not for now. That was when you asked Rhiann. Yeah, yeah, no, it's fine, man.

It's good. This is what Tonya looks like bald. You look good. Like surprisingly not that bad. Out of all of us, you actually look the coolest. Anyway. You still peg that. Chelsea Moore.

Chelsea Moore. You wouldn't need to, what are you gonna put it, like dildo on your dick? Is that double penetration? No, Great question. Let's not find out. Is raw dogging the rain normal or nah? This guy in here asks, still walks his dog in the rain with no rain jacket. He just fucking takes it. I also feel like Romcoms tried to normalize walking and dancing in the rain, but it's fucking shit. You get wet.

I think raw dogging the rain is insane, but do you think it's normal or nah? Oh, it's raining out. Anyway, come on, Bron, let's go for a walk. I wouldn't take Pippa out in the rain because I wouldn't want her to get wet and cold anyway. But- Bron loves the rain. It makes him go to the zoomies. Yeah, right. Now see Pippa when it's raining, she just wants to curl up in front of the fire and

like she doesn't want to do anything. I think probably even if you left the front door open, she wouldn't get up. Like I think she just like settled in. I did have this conversation with myself though, because we've been swimming in the mornings. It's been quite wet in Melbourne. And like, as you're walking to the... Like, you're walking to quite literally get wet. Yeah.

If you're walking to the pool, how much precaution should you take? Because I go, oh no, in the rain! And then I get in the pool. Yeah. And like, you're going to like put your towel over your head so that gets wet. But then my towel's wet. Yeah, that's gross. That's weird.

But then my towel's going to get wet anyway, because soon I'm going to be wet and I'm going to dry myself on the towel. Yeah, but you want to dry yourself with a dry towel. But you know what I mean? I do know what you mean. So, because I think that it would be crazy to wear my raincoat to the pool. Cause I'm like, well, I'm it's fine. Then what are the raincoats for?

Because they're pretty cool. Those swimming raincoat, you know, those like long ones. Or like a deck coat or whatever it's called. Yeah. So I've got a poncho towel, which we've talked about before. I bought one for me and one for Torbz for Christmas. Big year. Um, wow. I didn't want to say. Yeah. Okay. It has been a Big year.

Wow. I didn't want to say. Yeah. Okay. It has been a big year. Yeah. He proposed to me and I bought him a fucking wooded towel. Yeah. But that's what brings you guys together. Yeah. Yeah. I bet he loves that towel. I bet he loves that towel. Have you got him like an engagement present? No. So he buys you that fucking rock and you just take that? No, but should I?

Well, I mean, you have Should I have? The only thing you got him, you also bought yourself one. Blowjob? Towel. I was like, what did I give him? Sorry. I thought that's what you meant. Sorry. And I didn't give that

to myself as well. I even never leave that. Even though I've never come to work. Sorry. Yeah, I literally just thought you meant. Can you cut that? No, no, actually we can't. Should I give him a present?

Is that what you're supposed to do? Well, some people, the guy will get like a really nice watch. Oh, Torp's like can't wear a watch as you know, because the magnetic. Because the magnetics, he makes time go backwards. And that's how I feel when I'm with him. Yeah, time just slows right down. It just disappears. We said the opposite.

Should I get him a present? Are you supposed to? Oh, I'm just surprised that you're wearing that around. And what's he wearing? Oh, no. Do you get him like a night or is like a wedding ring or something? Well, do you do that, though though when you get married and he- What so you just get that freebie?

Oh no, I've got a freebie. What, what free for you? Oh yeah, free for me. He's maxed out free credit cards. Um, fuck, I didn't even think about getting him again. Well I just know because I'm not- You know what I did do though, I bought him the new Switch. Picking it up tomorrow. Nintendo Switch. Huge. Yeah. Pre-ordered it

because they're sold out. You can't get them anymore but I've pre-ordered it so I'm gonna go pick it up tomorrow. That's pretty nice. Yeah. That's pretty nice. Yeah. Did you know you did that? No. Oh that's good. No. We like go down. And he won't listen so it's fine. We go down on a knee and like, not that again. Oh, sorry. We go down on one knee and say like, You're welcome. Sophie's with 12 times gone backwards. Welcome to now.

All good. Um, yeah, I can. That'd be nice. Yeah. I film it in the corner. And maybe I could say like, oh, let's switch things up. And then I... And you pound him. Stop talking about pegging.

Lorna Page. Okay, this is, this is, you know when you see someone else eating good stuff and it just makes you hungry? Oh, totally. Or order envy. You know, when you're out for dinner with someone and you go, do I want the ravioli or the lasagna? And you go, I'm going to get the ravioli and someone else goes, I'm going to get the lasagna and then the lasagna comes out and you go fuck off.

We did that. Me and Bridge had breakfast out the other day. I haven't gone out for breakfast in fucking ages. How fun is it? Yeah, it's great. But then she ordered this like pancake stack with like the fruit and the, you know, like, yeah. And I just saw that and I'm like, what the fuck have I done? Yeah. What did you get?

Oh, it's like this. Do you know what is fucking so underrated at a cafe for breakfast? A corn fucking fritter or a zucchini fritter. I feel no fucking way. That's what you got. When you see it next to a stack of pancakes, it's just not here. No, but they hit I think.

Best friend chat though, we picked the same like crazy thing. But I think a zucchini fritter, fucks. They got to do it right. Maybe they just have to. Where was it? No, I'm not gonna have it. No, just say it. Because they're normally great. No, no, no.

Nope. You don't have to say it on the podcast, just tell me. Goldmine is Catholic, I can't believe they did that. No, they would never. No. That's what you just said? No, it's not. Oh.

So now you're gaslighting me. It was... Second home... On Broham Street Brombe Street. Brombe Street. Yeah. Those ****. Lorna.

They should be up on Wall Street. Main Street. Busy down on Main Street. Busy. Lorna has a normal on her. Hi Lorna. My husband reckons seeing the dog eat makes him hungry. I was like, do we have any snacks?

Yeah, why? I just saw our old mate fucking hoofing into that bowl over there, just made me hungry. What? Lorna's like, no, like that's not a thing. And he's like, yeah. And then he goes, we know how you see people eating that makes you hungry.

It's like, yeah, that's different. Cause that's not a dog eating Bickeys from a bowl. Oh, weird thought. Pippa eats at the same time as us. Yeah, cause she has that when she sees you guys eating. No, but like, so if I'm cooking dinner, I'll like chop up her food and then I'll put our stuff on the table and I'll feed her

and we'll all eat at the same time. Isn't that nice? We do that for breakfast as well. Like Torbz will be doing that and I'll put our stuff on the table and I'll feed her and we'll all eat at the same time. Isn't that nice? We do that for breakfast as well. Like Torbz will be doing that and I'll cut up her food and then... You slice the salmon and... Well, yeah, but I'll cut up her log thing. Yeah. So...

Unrelatable content for pretty much. Yeah, because we eat together, but don't most animals eat breakfast and dinner and they eat at the same kind of time as you? Oh, Lily's shaking her head. Okay. Yeah. What? We eat as a family. Does she eat at the table? No, she eats, you know, at her little spot where her life fountain is. But like if we eat outside, like on the back deck while it's hot, I'll be like, you come outside, you eat with us and she'll eat out the back with us. That's really nice. That's really nice. That is really nice.

Doesn't everybody do that? Normal or not, eating with your pet. No, that's a no from me. And it's not that I don't eat with Brian, it's that he doesn't eat with us. He's run his own schedule. Oh. Yeah.

That is so, I thought that would have been normal. Now, Magali has asked, innovative or not? Which in itself is quite innovative, I guess, but we have been accused of, you know, being a bit loose with the title or saying some other things, which is literally just the same thing. Sure. Magali said, instead of showering, my boyfriend for breezes his feet and his pits reckons it's just as good as cleaning or putting and his pits reckons it's just as good as

cleaning or putting on socks and reckons it's innovative. Is that normal, innovative or nah? Nah. Yeah. To both. Not normal, not innovative. Nah. It's nah. It's fucked is what it is. Is that not just like, and for breeze as well as not meant for your skin? Isn't it? No, like it's- For breezes for everywhere. Haven't you seen that? You just for breeze it. But it's like for the, like I wouldn't spray it right onto my skin. Cause it's probably like chemicals and you know, I mean- Beautiful smelling chemicals. Also yeah, they don't smell good. That's like not how you want your- Oh, take that back.

No, that's like not how you want your body to smell. I don't think. You've obviously never got the right flavor for breeze. Maybe, but because they're often like florally and like room smells. Yeah. Yuck. Yep. They just smell like a beautiful floral room.

Nah, that smells to me like toilet cleaner. Yeah. Like, you know, like toilet duck or whatever. Fuck that. I hate it. Do you remember where? Nah, that smells to me like toilet cleaner. Yeah. Like, you know, like toilet duck or whatever? Yeah. Fuck that. Do you remember where it is? At that cafe and I got sprayed with the thing in the toilet. That's exactly what it was like.

The toilet duck attacked Tony. Yes. You know the feeling. Yeah, and that smell, it's fucking yuck. Also just have a shower. Oh, there's your answer, McGarrett. Yeah, sorry. Yark. Also just have a shower. There's your answer, McGarrett. Yeah, sorry. It's a soft no from Tony Lodge.

That is a spoiler, see this is all you do Oh that is a bit of a spoiler There's a guy that grows fruit, but he's growing more than fruit. So again, a spoiler. It's great. It's great. I wonder what it would be.

Well, it's not fruit. Yeah. Oh. Wouldn't be a mandarin because everyone fucking ate those. Hey. Sorry. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Why do you want fruit? That's actually a read, but fair. That is fair. The one day I wanted fruit, Charles offered me a mandarin. I go, that'll be great, thanks. And then you're like, well, I already ate it. That is not what happened at all. What happened?

We had all said we had just had mandarin. We said we had a mandarin. You said, that sounds great. And I said, well, there's none left because we ate them. In fairness, not only is it the first day that you've wanted fruit, but same for the rest of us. And we all ate it. And it was lovely. It is a weird day though, isn't it? It is a weird day.

Yeah. But I think I've got something that I don't know whether you're going to love this or hate this. Can I guess now? Sure. Um, can I guess now? Sure. Just really juice up my awesome story that I've put all this effort into. I, as stated last week and everyone agreed with, have never judged anything in advance. Sure.

So true. I'm going to go into this with an open mind. Oh, I love that for you. Um, well, I don't know if you're going to love this or hate this, but we're keeping an open mind. Torps and I went out for an ice dinner. I love this. I love this so much.

Well, I actually love it too. It was really nice to go out and do something. And, um, it was like this Japanese place that we'd wanted to try for ages in the city and, um, sushi place at Southern Cross Station. The sushi sushi at the entrance to the train station. No, I went to this cool little Japanese place in the city. Yeah, not many people. It's pretty low key. I was kind of like, oh, should we make a booking?

He was like, do you reckon we'll need one? It was a bit earlier. And I was like, look, let's just make one because then we're not gonna get there. And then like, you have to do the, oh, could you wait for 20 minutes or whatever? And you go like, oh. Yeah. Do I just stand here?

Like, or what are you supposed to do? Like walk to another place and see if you, you know. Anyway, it was a little bit busy, but we get there. I'm like, luckily we booked. We get there and they go, oh, let us show you to your table. And they kind of start walking and they walk to like the corner. You know how sometimes when you're like,

obviously one of the like emergency tables. And they've gone, oh, fuck, they had a booking. Yeah, yeah, no, oh good. Yeah, or they go, oh, do we have a little bit of overflow? Yeah. And maybe it's in like a back private room that they open up sometimes if they've got like a full night.

I'll tell you one of the most humbling moments of my life. Please. I went to a Vietnamese restaurant with my dad in Box Hill. Yes. It was a busy night. Yeah. We were at a restaurant, we got a table for two, and the lady goes, oh, yeah, I think so.

Yeah. And then her kids are like doing their homework or coloring on this table. And she like goes and yells at them in Vietnamese, and the kids scurry off. Here you go. And you go oh two plus two yep I know that they've left it behind. Yeah but I was like oh my god I'm like sorry yeah we could just sit with them yeah I don't I'll chat to your kids help with their homework. Yeah that looks about my level actually. Yeah that's actually fine. Yeah but like like fucking like get out of here. You're using a table.

Yeah, or like, okay, deals off. Yeah. Someone's here, you know the drill. Yeah. Like you don't get to come back in. Customers come first. Yeah. And dad and I were like, I'm sorry.

And you feel like such a burden. Yeah. And they're like, oh, don't worry. But you're like, fuck. Anyway, so we kind of thought that that's what was happening. Yeah. But then we're like, fuck. Anyway, so we kind of thought that that's what was happening. Yeah. But then we're like, holy shit, this is a primo fucking table. So we along the edge of the restaurant, right?

It's like quite an old building. And there's like windows, like window, pillar, window, pillar. Yeah. Like six down the way. The windows are like from floor to ceiling and they're like in set. And so what they've done is they've put like a bench in the like, well, not like a bench table and your chairs face like out.

So your back is like to the restaurant. Yeah, so you watch the world go by. Well, and I was kind of like, oh your back is like to the restaurant. Yeah. So you watch the world go by. Well, and I was kind of like, oh, and how good, because you're not like sat in the middle of a restaurant. You know when sometimes you're like, oh, and there's like people moving around and you kind of feel a bit in the way or whatever. I'm like, this is actually perfect.

I'm just going to send you a little photo. Cause it was, we, I realized, I was like, this is the dream because yeah, you're not kind of like making eye contact with other people and you can kind of just like sit there. Oh, that is fun. Yeah. Looking out over the street, watching,

oh, and so it's, yeah, multiple people per little, yeah, that's beautiful. Yeah, so like the two of us fit perfectly. Hey, what's that drink you got there? A little gimlet and Torb's had an agroni. Fancy girls on the town. It was really, really nice. But so we're sitting there and we're having a drink.

I'm like, so like, I'm like, this is perfect. Like beautiful little nook. We're sitting there and then the waiter comes over and he's like, oh, have you ever done with us before? Like, can I run you through the menu? And we go, oh, yep. Oh, of course you have to. Oh. Yeah. And he goes, oh, so just grab a menu and we go, oh, yeah. Oh, of course. You have to.

Yeah. And he goes, oh, so just grab a menu. I go, sorry. And have to. Shuffle back over. Oh. Get the menu and then you kind of turn back around. And then he'd come over and been like, how's everything? Like, can I get you another drink kind of vibe?

And we didn't like. Should have asked for a swivel chair, like a desk chair. Would you like to order a computer chair from home? You just swing around. Well, so we're sitting there and it's actually great because we're our bodies like facing each other and we're chatting. But then when the food came, we were like. Straight onto the table so that we could eat.

Yeah. And then you were like, Oh, I like that though. Cause when if there's a booth and I go, can we bust it in the booth? Yeah. I like that. You know how you can kind of, when it's a bench seat, you can kind of like pop a leg up and like half it. You kind of had to face front. Had to commit. And so it's kind of like all little nummies. Yeah. And so you do like a few little plates. Is there enough room for all the nummies? And then. So it's a little bit of that. okay. But it was okay because the food was really good. So we're kind of like eating it as it came out. Yep. And we've kind of realized that we're sitting there. And because it's obviously a bustling restaurant, there's like beautiful lighting and all of that. Every single person that walked past is like,

what's going on in there? And just stare at you? And you lock eyes with every single person that walks past. Yeah, I love that. And there's like three car parks, like parallel car parks right in front of the window. You can see them in that photo. Yeah.

And they're obviously like a 15 minute park. And it was like lots of people that were getting like dropped off in Ubers. It's like a lot of foot traffic. And we're just sitting there and we're kind of like, oh, and every single person, we're like, and you can't decide whether you like acknowledge it and kind of, oh wow. Okay.

So that's when you have to make a decision. Yes. You go, are we going to be small and cute and not like make eye contact? Yeah. Or is every time someone walks past, am I going to deep throw to sushi roll and just stare at them? And just look them right in the eye. Well, I mean, they weren't quite the options that I-

Because I would choose the second one. Because I thought like, this is so wonderful and private because it's just the two of us and whatever. And then I'm kind of like, oh, the admin, I can see past it because just the two of us, how sweet. And then like, we had a couple of drinks and we were like, God, food's so good. And I was like, I want to tell people

walking past our good food. You guys should come here. And I was like, we should open this window. I'm like, it's like we're in a coffee shop and we can serve people out the window. Yeah, you could pour, you should have done that. You should have poured that gimlet into other people's mouths instead of your own.

Cause that sounds like a terrible idea. And so we're like, should we open the window? We're like kind of like seeing if we can open the window. I don't think that opens. You couldn't. Yeah, I'm looking at it now. I don't know about that. Oh, imagine that we could offer, and we could be doing the PR for this restaurant. Like we could be helping them. Your role in this is to be the customer. But so we just got so giggly and silly. And then every time someone worked part, we'd be like, and we just started.

It's really great. Come in, come in. Try the suey mine. It wasn't dim sum. And it's shumai. That's fine. But I mean, the food was amazing. I very much recommend it. It's Robata in the city. Robata.

That's what it's called. Yeah. It was fucking unreal. Like the food was awesome and the table was great, but it was just a bit like, do you love that or do you have, cause there's positives, I think for both, but it was like, it made me feel so fancy. Like I was, I was getting shown off. They go, we'll put her in the window.

She's a window gal. Cause you know, we've talked about this before at a restaurant. They go, the mood set a table. You are the, what's Charles for us getting Uber Eats? Barometer. Tony is the barometer of the restaurant. Like, you know, when you kind of go in there, you prove to them that you're going to be a fun customer. And then they go, we'll put you at the fun table. I think that we got put off, put in the show off table.

I go, we're going to show off the people that are eating here. And we got put on full display. We didn't get a discount though. So it's okay. There's one way looking at it. You sure they just didn't like put baby in the corner, you know? Oh no. Also it took me a while to realize that Torbz has like a napkin on his lap. He's not wearing a skirt. Yeah, no, I actually just thought it was an extension of his t-shirt and it was like a yeah.

Nah, nah, nah, nah, that's a cute little number. But it was, it was awesome. But I was like, oh, would you go back to that? If you had your choice of table, would you pick that again? I think I would. Great. Because I really liked it and the little awkward bits of like having to face the thing, it was okay. But the friends we made along the way.

I'm still in contact with all the people that walk past. Yeah. And I'd love to hear from them. Yeah. What do you think they're saying? I'm trying to think, like, whenever I walk past a restaurant or even a cafe, you know how sometimes I've got the bench at the front of a cafe to show off that, like, there's people in there?

If I make eye contact with any of those people, I always feel so guilty. Like, I'm like, sorry. Sorry. No, they'd be like, oh, she seems like fun. We should go in there. Well, they go, they've put her at the show off table. Yeah. They put their best foot forward. Exactly. You should be on the payroll there. But it was really good. It was really fun.

Robata? Yeah. And we just got a little bit tiddly and we'd been silly. And it was fun. Did you have to get an Uber home? We did. Yeah. We Ubered there as well, knowing that we might get a bit tiddly. I'll see you in you.

Yeah. Yeah, I like that. You got to be prepared. Yeah. I'm going to love to sit here from Suzy Q Coats. Suzy Q. I just ran some errands. And usually.

Whose errands? It's usually my only child free time on the weekend, is when I'm out like doing my bits and pieces. Oh sure, yep. So I thought I'd listen to my favourite podcast, Tony and Ryan. Now I've had some of these before and I actually love them. So I had to go to the post office, pick something up from the shops and get some stuff from the butcher for dinner.

And so I'm driving around listening to an episode and as I pulled into the driveway it was the last two seconds of the episode. Oh I love that! I've experienced watching a movie where the start of the credits are rolled as we've touched the tarmac and landed. Oh that's good! Yeah and I'm just like oh isn't it and now they have a when you go to pick a movie it'll say like this movie is two hours we've only got an hour have a, when you go to pick a movie, it'll say like, this movie's two hours. We've only got an hour 45. Are you sure you want to watch this?

Do they really? Yeah. I've never seen that. Yeah. I'm actually- And so, could you imagine? Like, it's like a murder mystery and they go, oh, who done it?

It was, oh, welcome to Melbourne. Yeah. And you're like, fuck. I didn't know that. Colonel Mustard. I also have never watched something to the end of the flight. Normally when they go, we're beginning our descent, I'll turn everything off and just wait patiently.

Yeah, and that doesn't surprise me. It annoys me, but it doesn't surprise me. Like I'll just go, oh, that's it. I actually maybe didn't know you could still watch stuff. Yeah, so. Because when they say that and they go, especially for like an international flight, because that means there's like 20 minutes left. Normally.

Yeah. And then you land, that's another 20 from the drive to the gate. Oh, no, no, no. Now my headphones are often packed away by then. You're concentrating. Oh yeah. I'm like, I'm aware. I know what's happening.

Yeah, and then I'll stop whatever I'm doing. I go, yep, okay, time to get my shit together. I am a great customer. Yeah, yeah. She's like, they might need me. What if someone needs me? I might be required. Yeah, and also because you know,

like when the plan, plan has landed. Nope. You know, when the planes landed and then like, you put your backpack on and you just like, wait your turn. You know, there's people like packing their backpack then you, cause you got to put your headphones away. I hate that. I like to be ready. Oh, what do you love to see here from Max? Oh, what do you love to see here from Max? None of that is surprising. Max says, four years ago, I signed up for the national marrow donor program so that

if someone needed marrow or blood stem cells, I could help. So basically what happens is you register it, they test like what type you are or whatever. Then the second that someone needs a match, you just like get the call and you've got to go in. Fuck yeah. So it's like pretty full on. How do they extract bone marrow? I think it must be pretty painful. That sounds fucked.

So Max says like it's a long process to actually get approved as well. But fast forward to today, I got the call. I'm right now sitting in a chair donating blood stem cells to help a person get a blood cell transplant. Fuck. You're a better man than I am. And well, he says, it's incredibly rewarding, but yeah, it's a long, like you have to really commit to like, because you've got to go through heaps of testing

to make sure that like you're healthy enough to, cause obviously whoever needs that is like, not in a good fucking way. Yeah, they don't want your shit with stuff to, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. And Max said, if you could encourage others to sign up for the registry, could mean the world to someone or their family, both. The National Marrow Donor Program, I don't know if that's the Australian

one or if it's different everywhere. Maybe we can have a look or have a Google, but if you've ever thought about it... Well, it could really, and I think about like, while my mum was sick, she had so many blood transfusions. She got bone marrow from other people, I believe, like all of those things. And I just think, wow, like if it wasn't for those people that had taken the time to do it and like the time, but also, you know, like if you're a bit scared of needles, like not very nice, you know like if your bits get a needle

so you're not very nice like all those things you're a blood donor aren't you Chuck? Because Charles does it regularly. I do blood and plasma. Yeah Bridget's the same because she's also a O negative or something that works in like I get calls from them and they're like oh we need more blood can you come in like the next week or so? Charles can you please save the country? And he's like yeah. I don't even know what blood type I am. And neither did I, because I also wanted to know. That is very off-brand for Tony Lodge. But I've never been in a situation where-

But someone who's being prepared, like just what if there's a situation and you're on a plane and they're like, oh shit, she needs blood, what sort do you need? And you go, red, please. Red? Yeah, no, I've never, I don't know it, but I would like to donate blood. I don't know what the requirements are. Pretty much anyone can do it. Not everyone, but most.

No, but I think, cause it's like, if you've had a tattoo in the last three months or six months, I think that's another thing. And you're, well, that's, you're, you've always within three months of being tattooed, right? I mean, I haven't as recently at the the moment but I'm on the list again. Yeah. To donate skin to the arts. But I couldn't because I had psoriasis anyway so I don't think I would have been able to... Are we already hear a terrible blood donation joke?

No it's not like, it's like corny. Is it like oh sorry, Stephen's next door or something? What? What? Like, oh, sorry, I gave them my blood and you my calm or something. Like, is it like- See his pocket?

Yeah. You know what I mean? That wasn't a joke. That was me trying to raise a family. Oh, this is, what do you mean? This is the blood bank. Oh, bloody, you wouldn't believe what I gave the other guys, you know?

It's something like that. Keep I gave the other guys, you know Yeah, you get there you're pretty close Sir this is a regular back stop giving us your blood and semen If you want a car loan, let me know. But Steve, stop jizzing on the desk. Yeah. Stop bringing your car in here. What I love about Tony Lodge of many things is that for most other people, when someone goes, do you want to hear a joke?

They'll like listen to hear the joke. But what I love about Tony, she goes, I got it from here. Allow me. hear the joke. But what I love about Tony, she goes, I got it from here. Now, what is it? No, I want to hear it. I want to hear it. So, um, my grandfather, when he passed away, uh, he actually needed blood and we couldn't figure out what sort he needed. like you he also didn't know his blood type. Yeah. So because when you can't put the wrong type of blood in. Yeah so and so we didn't know so blah blah blah. We're like oh grandpa like any last words and

he was like be positive and we were like okay we will and he's just a really optimistic guy. and he's just a really optimistic guy. Ray, rest in peace. There is no way I would have guessed that. No, that's when you're like, oh, guess. I'm like, please, please. Yeah. So, but wouldn't they have just tested his blood? Wouldn't they have just tested it and counted out his time?

Hello, 2001, Grandpa's Hospital. Have you tested it? No, but wouldn't they just just tested it and come down to town? Hello? 2001, Grandpa's Hospital? Have you tested it? No, but wouldn't they just get a little bit? Oh, he died four years ago. Sorry, it's too late. Do you say 2001? Yeah. I'll tell you my pathway, so I'm calling them.

2021? Yeah. Yeah. In medical terms, within a 20 year gap. Yeah, okay. Are you still there? Sorry. Sorry. Yep. He still there? Sorry.

Sorry. Yep. He's on a call. She said to test the blood. But wouldn't they? Wouldn't they just take a little bit and find out and then he... So,

you know the person who came up with the joke, like why did the chicken cross the road? No. Why not? Do I know them? Yeah. Like, do you think there was like really a chicken and really a road? No. Why not? Do I know them? Yeah. Like do you think there was like really a chicken and really a road or do you reckon someone like for the joke? But you said about your granddad. Yeah. To humanise it I think. Oh my god. No. No. You know said, can I tell you a joke?

And you said, but I thought it was like an anecdote. Like, oh, you won't believe what happened to me. As Sophie said, and let me, Ryan teach you. I maybe didn't think it was his last words, but wouldn't they test that? Like they wouldn't not know what type it was. It sounds like someone needs to be a bit more positive. From the grand terms here? Let us know. They would aye. They would. Let us know on the episode trend because who knows. Who knows. Maybe some floor bottomist can weigh in. Love you so much. And if I ever

need blood I am for all of you because we travel to get, I'm B positive In spirit and blood type. Are you actually B positive? Yes. Why do you know you're blood type? That's hard. Because I'm a fucking human and most people do No, no, I don't think most people know that you take that back, Sonny Jim I'm Apos and it's also in like my medical ID on my phone. Thank you.
