Welcome to the Tony Ryan podcast. I am the vice captain of the ship. This is Dr. Arthur Tony Lodge and we are calling Nathan who's in Omaha, Nebraska. Oh, Omaha. Omaha. Oh, hello. Oh my God. Nathan, it's Tony and Ryan. How you doing? Oh my God. I am absolutely incredible now. Oh, Nathan, sorry, it didn't ring. And so we were just like, oh, the thing's not working.

And then we heard you and it was very thrilling. We all panicked. We were panicking, yeah. Oh, well, good to hear that you're incredible. It rang one time. It rang one. Oh, prompt. Nathan's ready to go.

He's revved up. Yeah, wow. Now, Tony, you might not know this about Nathan, but you are talking to a fellow performer and vocal artist like yourself. Wow. Nathan, what are you good with your mouth at? Don't ask that. So I actually get to perform the national anthem

at several sporting events at one of the local universities here in Nebraska. Oh, my goodness gracious. Does that mean you've performed at one of my favorite sporting teams, the Nebraska women's volleyball team? Have you done one of their games? I have done several of their games. I have been lucky enough.

I just did the NCAA regional elite eight match a few weeks ago, which was a crazy honor and one of the largest crowds I've been able to perform in front of. So when you sing for volleyball, do you also have to strap your wrist beforehand or is that just when you're playing? Not required at all. No, it's actually not required for either. Honestly, I wish they'd let me spike the ball at least one time

or at least do a mic drop. Like when they do the celebrity throw at the baseball, you know, they get someone to throw the first pitch. And to hit the first spike of the game will be Nathan, who just sung the song. Who just sung the song. Or it just goes straight into it. But, Nathan, will you approve today's episode?

Absolutely. Woo-hoo! Spike the ball! Hey, it's Nathan from Omaha, Nebraska, and I approve this podcast. Happy New Year, everyone. Happy New Year. Tony, I know that you were, in the last six months or so, changing hairdresser. Yeah.

A family member has found myself in a similar predicament and it could not have gone worse. And I want you and people listening to this pod to maybe say what you would do if you found yourself in an awkward scenario. I played the fifth on all hairdresser chat because it's gotten me into some hot water. Has it? Well. Yeah. Okay. We'll get to that soon. First though, Gen Alpha has its own English language and I don't like it. So I didn't even know that this generation existed. Yeah.

They're 10 years old. So that's not. So below us is Z. Yeah. So it's Boomers? Yep. Millennials? Or is there something in between there?

Gen X. Remember when you said that? Boomers, Gen X, Millennials? Or is there something in between there? Gen X. Remember when you said that? Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, Gen Alpha. So we've gone back to A again. Oh, that makes sense. Which don't be confused because I always associate. Hang on. How come we're called Millennials?

The year 2000, obviously. The Millennium. You know that Robbie Williams song. Where were you when you thought the Y2K bug was going to make the earth crumble? Well, at home because I was seven. Yeah. Yeah. Quite New Year's.

Yeah. Yeah, well, the loser. Stayed in. How embarrassing. Yeah. Yeah, I was just at home. I don't remember thinking it was a thing. Like, I don't remember being stressed about it when I was seven, but I don't remember thinking it was a thing. Like I don't remember being stressed about it when I was

seven. But I don't remember my parents being like, oh, what's going to happen to our laptop? Like I don't remember them even talking about it. When you say I wasn't stressed about it, I was like, oh, that's surprising for me. Yeah. Yeah. You know, last day fair. Yeah. Were you, where were you? I was 13.

13? Where would I have been at 13? I was at the end of primary school. But you like, just would have been 13. 13? Where would I have been at 13? I was at the end of primary school. But you, like, just would have been with your mum or dad. Like, you wouldn't have been old enough to be out doing anything. Your family might have been away somewhere doing something. But you know what I mean? Like, you wouldn't have been.

I think high school, though, is when you start, like, going out. First year of high school. Go camping down the beach with the other youths. Yeah, or, like, hanging with your mates and all, like, playing video games all night or something. Yeah, or like hanging with your mates and all like playing video games all night or something. But, yeah, I think at 13 probably. Hoping the PlayStation doesn't melt down with the Y2K bug.

It's just that's the funniest concept we've been thinking about it now. Because I understand. Now that I've had it explained to me, I understand why they thought it was all going to reset. But they thought planes were going to fall out of the sky. Yeah, and that like banks would pop open and people could just walk in and take the money out and stuff. It's like I understand why they thought that now that I understand it,

but also just like what a crazy thing that occurred. I think that at the time we didn't know about conspiracy theorists. When people just said stuff back then, we went, oh, yeah. That must be true. Yeah, now we're like, probably not, bro. Yeah. Well, so what are you saying? You're doing your own research?

No, I'm saying. Ryan didn't have the vaccine. Just for clarity, I've had, we had three or four. I think we've had four. Yeah, fuck Ryan. Yeah. Because we got them together, I think, at the end. Yeah.

But anyway, yeah, we've both been vaccinated. The Tarpers voted in 2023 that I had Riz and I was down with the youth of today. But this morning we find out if Tony Lodge is down with Gen Alpha. I'm just definitely not. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I'm wearing Crocs, though. They're come back. They might be Gen Alpha.

So that might be Alpha vibes. You might get a point for that. Yeah. Tony, what is gat and how would you use it in a sentence? Gat? Yeah. Get out of here. Hey, I'm walking here.

Get out of here. Now it's G-Y-A-T, but it's pronounced like yacht, but with a G. So yacht. So Sackmark Yacht is a cock? Like, nah. You gotta be kidding me. Christopher Walken? I don't know.

I'm going to give you a clue. This whole generation is not from New York, so the accent may or may not help you. But just the accent makes the word work. Yacht. Like, cop that. Like Giot. Like cop that. Like, oh, I got that. Like, oh, yeah, I giot it. Used in a sentence?

Yes, but that's not the meaning. Oh, okay. So you would say I giot that? Maybe. G-Y-A-T stands for girl your ass thick. I girl your ass thick that? No, but used in context, girl walks past guy goes, g'yop, damn.

No, it's not. It's actually, is that what it is? Yeah. G'yop, damn. So when you say I g'yop that, it kind of makes sense. You know what I mean? So if I walk past you, you'd go g'yop that. It kind of makes sense. You know what I mean? So if I walk past you, you'd go, not that. No.

I don't like it either. You ain't that. Also know that the person hosting this quiz also does not know the answers. Yeah, I think it's before you said gat. I think that's right. It starts with a G and rhymes with yacht and is spelt G-Y-A-T. I don't like any of this. I think at the beginning, though, you said G-A-Y-T.

So I was like gate. Okay. Oh, this is not good. I'm just thinking about Guzman and Gomez again. Oh, yum. Was that G-Y-G? That's G-Y-G. My mistake.

Okay, so I'm 0 for 1. Yep. Can you use you ate that in a sentence? Oh, yeah, I can. You ate that like you smashed it. And then the following thing that you would say is, like, you ate that. Like, you left no crumbs.

Like, you ate the whole thing. Ain't no crumbs left. Yeah, like, you ate that. I like that. No crumbs. 100% correct. Well done. Yes.

It's the crux. It's the power of the crux. It's the crux. Now, this one's going to fucking. What is scibibi? Skididi? How do I say it? Skibidi.

Skibidi. Skibidi. Okay. What is Skibidi and how do you use it in a sentence? Skibidi. I'm not at Skibidi to say. The statue of Skibbity. Remember that time we went all the way to New York and then all the way to the bottom of Manhattan

to see the statue of Skibbity, and it was, like, the size of a matchbox? Oh, and we couldn't go on that boat. Because we couldn't be fucked. And we didn't... I think it was pretty expensive. No, yeah, we spent enough to get down here. Yeah. We walked such to get down here. Yeah.

We walked such a long way as well. Like we walked for ages. Skibbity is a word usually used to start a conversation that's usually filled with brain rot. So like, oh, bear with me. It's skibbity kind of thing. Well, you just say skibbity and then say something fucked. So like skibbity, I've got diarrhea. Again, I also don't know the answer, but that doesn't feel right to me.

Or is it brain rot like, oh, skibbity, did you watch Selling Sunset last night? Kind of thing. I think so. It's just garbage conversation. Yeah, Skibity. I mean, let me know in the comments because who the fuck knows. Is it a bit like when you say, like, oh, can I be a bitch for a second? And then you know what the conversation's going to be?

Is it like that? I just don't understand the need for the word Skibity. I don't get it. Well, let me just be clear. Skibity, that fucking word. I don't hate it. Let me be clear to Jen Alpha, as I look down the barrel of the cameras, there isn't a fucking need that fucking word. I'd hate it. Let me be clear to Jen Alpha, as I look down the barrel of the cameras, there isn't a fucking need for that word.

I just don't, just say, let's talk shit. The next one, which has been used in an awful way on this podcast in the past, we know it, it is the word yeet. Yeet. Does it still mean the same thing it used to mean? Yeah, which is? Like, yeet it out of there. Like, get it the hell out.

Yeah, and what did that lady say that we didn't like? She was a paramedic. Oh, um. Something happened to this old guy and she's like, yeah, so we yeeted him to the hospital. I'm like, hang on a second. No, yeah. Too casual for.

Too casual for the man in the back of the ambulance. The next one is erm, spelt E-R-M. Can you please use that in the sentence? Erm, I don't know about that. No. Erm. Or like when you can't remember what you're trying to say and you go erm.

Or is it E-R-M, like ending ritualistic meditation, letting you know my meditation's finished? No. Imagine if it was. That was good. If someone does something annoying, like something a bit cringy, like say some of these guys in the room at the moment did something a bit off, I might just text you like.

Oh, so it's a bit like, um. Yeah, yeah. Kind of used and kind of used like that. Yeah. Yeah, so but you would kind of like. Like IDK, uh. Yeah, but it's sort of an underhanded like where you might say that about a situation but you probably don't want them to hear,

i.e. you text me or someone will walk past and do something weird and you can look at me and go, um. Yeah. So the way that we used to say like orcs. It'd be erm, yeah. Yeah, okay. Finally. I don't mind that.

I don't mind that one. Neither do I. In fact, I like it. So me and you just texting ERM all the time, hoping that at some stage we get it right. Yeah. I intend to do that for the rest of the day. What is finna?

F-I-N- Donna. Correct. Yeah. I don't know why, but I read that one online. Really? Yeah. Yeah.

I don't understand it. Finna texture. Can I share with you the most cooked explanation? Yeah. So it's, yeah, it means going to. Is it because the letters are next to each other and it started as a typo? That's a great question, and I'm just going to say yes. Because G-O and F-I are next to each other, so is finna,

like was it a typo and people were just like, yeah. Yeah, we'll just do it. I don't know. Yeah, I'm going to say yes. Yes, that's exactly right. They do the E thing. That's exactly right. So if we're going to go get coffee from downstairs,

we're like, oh, finna coffee? Finna cuppa joe rizzo. Yeah. However, the example given to me on my thorough research said, to use it in a sentence like, you finna throw hands at that dog? Doggo. Hey, it's Nathan from Omaha, Nebraska, and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout out to a few of our champion tapas.

Finish out them out here. A massive shout out to a few of our champion tapas. Finish out them out here. Daniel. Good on you, Daniel. Anaka Panaka. Speak my language. Please don't yell at me. Cindy Aramburo.

Jamie and Patrick McCaffrey. Good on you guys. Thank you so much for being part of our Patreon. You absolutely love to say it. Imagine this, Tony Lodge. Yeah. And you listening to this podcast. My eyes are closed. I'm love to say it. Imagine this, Tony Lodge. Yeah. And you're listening to this podcast. My eyes are closed.

I'm ready for my vision. Okay. Are you ready though? Because it sounds like you. I'm ready now. So you're new in town. Yeah, I'm still ready. I'm ready for you to say it. You know when you're new in town and you're like, everything's new.

I need to find a new supermarket. I need to find a new supermarket. I need to find a new fucking everything. And how come all the coals aren't laid out the same? Right? And, like, sometimes you go to a coals and the eggs are in the fridge. Sometimes they're not even in the fridge. They're just in the baking aisle. Don't ask the girl with milk at the Dixon's Woolworth where the milk is.

She doesn't work there. But how come they aren't all laid out the same? It actually doesn't make sense that, like, they aren't all laid out the same? It actually doesn't make sense that like they wouldn't be laid out the same. Aren't they laid out similar if they've got a blank canvas? Sometimes they've got to work with what was already there. But like if you're just putting

things on a shelf, like obviously all the fridges are always like on the outside. So like that is you're probably a bit limited there. But in the aisles, stuff isn't always in the same order. Yeah, it's fucked. It's fucked. We can all agree about that.

So when you're also new in town, like new doctor, new brows person, new waxologist, what are they called? Beautician? Yeah. A friend says, oh, you're new in town. I know the best barber, 100%, the only barber you can go in town. I know the best barber, 100%. The only barber you can go and see. I got the hookup.

See, that's good because you need to pick those things based on word of mouth. Yeah. Like you need a recommendation. Because everyone says they're great. But you just raw dog a butcher or you raw dog a supermarket or whatever, but you can't raw dog a hairdresser. I've always said that.

Yeah. We've got a great butcher near us actually. Yeah. Yeah. He's really, really nice. Like he cut a big piece of like steak for us. You'd hope so. Yeah.

Like I was like, oh, I need a piece of blah. And he was like, oh, I've got some lovely, like, I'm not going to say what it was because this is just a whole thing. Anyway, but yeah, he's really nice. I got. If you say chicken Kiev, I'm going to have to actually ask you to leave. No, no, no, no. It was a big piece of scotch fillet.

What's wrong with that? That's awesome. Yeah, like a big piece. Fuck, yeah. And then we, like, cooked it as a piece and then we carved it at home. That's the best way to do it. Yeah. And it was, like.

Don't be fooled by Gordon Ramsay. That's how to do a fucking steak. So Torb's, like, reverse seared it. And we had friends over, so it was like a big lunch thing. And I made like this whipped feta and I roasted all these tomatoes. Ooh. Shit. Yeah, it's the eating and entertaining in for 2024.

But yeah, I made this whipped feta in my KitchenAid. Fuck, look at you go. And yeah, roasted tomatoes. I've never known you to buy shit and use it. This is great. I'm loving 2024, Tony. Yeah, it's a new. And yeah, roasted tomatoes. I've never known you to buy shit and use it. This is great. I'm loving 2024, Tony. Yeah, it's a new me. Anyway, yeah.

So the best barber in town, say he's Mario. Hi, Mario. So you book in for a 10 a.m. on a Saturday morning. Oh, that's a good time. It's hard to get a Saturday. Then you listening and you, Tony, hypothetically imagine this. You accidentally drink 20 beers on Friday night and you wake up Saturday morning, look at your phone, it's 11.15. Oh.

You call Mario, said my phone got hacked, I never made that appointment and then you find a different barber. Do you have a missed call from the barber being like, hey, bro, lucky you're coming in? My brother Cooper finished college, moved to Chicago because he was like a finance major in Chicago, big finance hub. Chicago. Yep.

So. I loved Chicago when we were there. Yeah, it's sick. He decides, which is controversial in the first place, he's going to book himself in for 10 a.m. the following Saturday, like a redo. Like he's missed the first one. He goes, hey, mate, sorry.

Yeah. Let's try next week. Oh, so he called him and was like, I'm so sorry I missed it. I'll be kind of. Well, I think it must have been like an online. He just booked it. Oh, okay. Yeah, I think he just used the app.

So he didn't have to contact them. Or have to explain himself or whatever. He just books in. Cooper, 10 a.m. next Saturday. Yep. Didn't think to use like a fake name or something, like a different name. He says to himself, or whatever. He just books in. Cooper, 10 a.m. next Saturday. Yep. Didn't think to use like a fake name or something, like a different name. He says to himself, no beers.

Oh, fair. Next Friday night. But the reason he's in Chicago is because he's got this finance job. And you know when you're in a new job and you're trying to impress and socialize and meet everyone, especially finance can kind of blow out on a Friday. So he doesn't have any beers, but he accidentally drinks 12 Old Fashions.

And he wakes up at midday. Now, Tony, what would you do in that situation? Considering one of his mates has gone, bro, Mario is the guy. Like, you can't go anywhere else. Mario is your boy. Oh, okay. Then I guess you have to book again. But surely you pick, like, a different day or time. You go, like, maybe I guess you have to book again. But surely you pick like a different day or time.

You go like maybe I'll do Saturday afternoon or maybe I'll do like a Monday during lunchtime or something. The following Saturday at 10am. No, Cooper. Cooper makes a booking but there is one change. It's now booked under Robbie. Great call. Yeah.

That means that the butcher, sorry, I'm sucking the butcher. Yeah. That means that the hairdresser, Mario, doesn't know it's the same guy. He's never met Cooper. But it's still the time which seems to be problematic. Oh, but I mean, busy Saturday morning, a barber on a Saturday morning, like you wouldn't just accuse, like there's bookings all morning. No, no, no, no, no.

What? I'm saying that he keeps fucking up and missing that. Surely you would go a different time. Yeah, well, Cooper, not that smart. Sure. Maybe Robbie would have done it. Yeah, okay. So anyway, this was seven years ago.

And this guy really needs a haircut. No. And Cooper has had to pretend that his name is Robbie for seven years because he went goes the first time and goes my mate was right the barber's the best he's a fucking lovely guy and he rocks up and he's like Robbie come have a seat you know like the hospitality and stuff so he has to like be Robbie like every time he goes to the barber, which is every fifth Saturday morning or whatever, and for seven years he's pretended that his name is Robbie. He didn't do an accent, did he?

Or something. He goes in there and he goes, love a little me, Drew. No, but Cooper's pretty chill, but he said, like, when he wakes up on Saturday, he needs to, like, get in. You know when an actor, like like gets into character and he goes, Robbie does stuff that like Cooper wouldn't do. Like Robbie's like a fun guy. And so to the point where Robbie now has a different like style

that Cooper, so he has to like kind of get a haircut that kind of suits the both of them. Because when they, because Mario like gases Robbie up, so he's always so confident when he's Robbie. He's like, Robbie, how you been, bro? How's your girlfriend? How's work? Oh, I'm killing it. Fuck yeah. Come sit down. What are we doing? Because Mario gasses Robbie up. So he's always so confident when he's Robbie. He's like, Robbie, how you been, bro? How's your girlfriend? How's work?

Oh, I'm killing it. Fuck yeah. Come sit down. What are we doing? And he gets so gassed up and he's like, yeah, give me the Robbie. And so he's like doing his thing. And then like for seven years he's had to like remind himself that his name is Robbie every single time he goes. And you know like with Brickowl, your lady, you develop a strong bond.

Yeah, we're really close. And then so Torbs, who's that barber that he used to see? He goes to a guy at Beefs in Richmond. He's gone there for years and years. But didn't that guy move barbershops? Yeah, so he's moved like 18 salons and Torbs drove to fucking Moorabbin for his haircut for a while. Oh, jeez, yeah, didn't want to hear about that.

Yeah, well, Torbs didn't drive to Moorabbin, obviously. Someone drove him to Moorabbin. No, he actually got the train. Yeah, someone. I meant the train driver. But could you imagine after all that time that you make that friendship? I mean, imagine the other way around and the barber goes, oh, my name's actually Steve.

You go, oh. Well, I don't think you'd be, like, offended, but I think you'd be like, what a weird fricking thing to do. I think you'd be, like, offended, but I think you'd be like, what a weird freaking thing to do. So the barbershop over Christmas had a Christmas party and they had to, like, he goes, oh, you know, all our best customers, whatever, we're going to hire a boat if everyone wants to, like, chip in.

What hairdresser is this? Well, a lot of, you know, like the old school American barber, it's like the boys hanging out, the NBA's on. Yeah, but having a bloody boat party with your hairdresser Well, a lot of, you know, like the old school American barber, it's like the boys hanging out, the NBA's on. Yeah, but having a bloody boat party with your hairdresser and the other clients, that's crazy. So there's like, yeah, everyone put your name down and we'll, like they all chipped in 30 bucks and the barber paid for the rest and, you know, just to chip in for drinks and food and whatever.

But then he has to put his credit card down, which doesn't have his, like his credit card says Cooper. Okay. And then he goes, oh. Have you stolen this? Yeah, whose credit card have you stolen? Robbie, I didn't know you were, I thought you were in finance, not being a fucking gangster.

Yeah. And then Cooper just had to go, yeah, that's, yeah. Surely you'd gaslight him and go, yeah, I like, you got it wrong the first time. And like, I just didn't have a heart to tell you. Like my dad with Harry's cafe? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

No, I think, I think he still kind of went like, oh, like, you know how some people go by their middle name or whatever nickname or something? That's what I would say. That's what I would be like, oh yeah. Like I've been, everyone calls me that, but my like legal, you know, government name. Yeah. But I was just waiting for like one of Cooper's like boys to rock up and be like,

Cooper, what up? And everyone's like, who? Who? Yeah. Do you mean Robbie? Yeah. Because he's my best friend. But even then, because when I was in Chicago, I went and had dinner

and I got a haircut and I was there and I was like, oh, do you know a place? And he goes, oh. And like his girlfriend rolls his eyes and he goes, oh, fuck, here we go. And he tells me this story. And because I was like, oh, I'll call and I was like, oh, do you know a place? And he goes, oh. And like his girlfriend rolls his eyes and he goes, oh, fuck, here we go. And he tells me this story because I was like, oh, I'll call up and be like, oh, hey, I'm Cooper's brother. He's like, you can't say that. You're Robbie's brother. So does now after the credit card thing, does he now go by?

No, no. He laid low and just kind of went with it. Yeah, like people call me like Cooper's my legal name. Yeah. I don't really like it or whatever. Yeah. Oh, my God. Because I think I should know this because I'm a fucker.

Robert is his middle name. Yeah, and that's how it kind of he was like, oh, that'll do. Yeah, so he kind of glossed over it. And at least then it would be like Cooper R. Something. Yeah. I was about to say done, but obviously that's not there. Yeah, no.

Wow. What would you have done? Would you have just like left? You'd be like, oh, I don't have a credit card. I'll pay cash. Yeah. I don't do boats. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm actually out of town that weekend, but I need to come in a haircut that day. Yeah. So you guys still open though? Yeah. When are you opening up? What do you love to see, Tony Lodge? when you're opening up.

What do you love to see, Tony Lodge? Tapa Kristen posted this into our Facebook group and says, my middle school and high school music teacher had his final Christmas concert tonight because he is retiring at the end of the school year. Yep. So he had, like, an end-of-year concert and Kristen graduated, like, many years ago but her teacher is still like the teacher there. But he put a call out on Facebook for this big concert

and a bunch of alumni showed up and they played in the band with all of the current students. That feels like a movie scene. It does, doesn't it? I was reading it and I was like, oh, my God, this is so magical. What's that movie where the band gets back together and then the guy opens his spit valve on the girl's shoe? Someone tell me in the episode thread.

It's like when they're in high school, she used to get really annoyed because he would empty the spit valve and it would always get on her shoe. He was fucking disgusting. That is fucking gross. But then like 30 years later they do this reunion and he accidentally does it again and it was sort of like a... Oh, I don't know.

I'd love to know. Nah and it was sort of like a. Oh, I don't know. Yeah. I'd love to know. Nah, it's a pretty shit movie. Anyway, Kristen says, he's a huge part of my teenage years. My music teachers were as well. They were a massive part of like me going through school and stuff. And I wouldn't be who I am today without him. And he'll finally get to retire from the school system after 31 years.

Fuck, that's hectic, eh? Isn't that, 31 years doing the same job? Yeah. That's crazy. Think about how many students over the journey that is that he's had an impact on. Isn't that just so special? Who's the one teacher that had the biggest impact on you?

The one that I wrote about in my book, Miss Nias. Nias. Yeah. And, yeah. And she was drama or music? She was music. Music. Yeah. And, yeah. And she was drama or music? She was music. Music. Yeah.

And she was actually like. When drama, I meant like theatre or something. Yeah, she's such a drama queen. Yeah. No. And like our actual music teacher, she like went on leave and she was just like a sub for the year. For 31 years.

Oh, yeah. But, yeah, and she came in and we were all a bit like, oh, like we loved our other music teacher and then we just got really, really close and she came in and we were all a bit like, oh, like we loved our other music teacher. And then we just got really, really close. And, like, she helped me through, like, a really hard time. Is she still going? No, not that I, not at that school. She was really young.

She had just graduated. She was only a couple of years older than me. They get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she's like, oh, not long ago that I was at school. I get it. I get it. But, yeah, I actually have fallen out of touch there.

I've, like, tried to text her. Like, I had her number and stuff. I've, like, texted her. Is that street legal? I think for the situation we were in, like, no, but, like, it was all good. You know what I mean? Like, that sounds like. That couldn't have sounded more sus.

Yeah, I know. Nah, it's all good. I got it after I graduated. That's what they are saying. But, yeah, all good. I got it after I graduated. That's what they say. But yeah, and I've fallen out. If anybody knows Ali Nias, she graduated UWA in 2008, I guess. Maybe she got a new number to get away from you. Maybe.

Yeah, that's not her last name anymore. She got married. But yeah, if anyone knows her, I'd love to get back in touch with her. It's like coincidence there. If anyone knows someone that used to be named this. Yeah, but imagine Ali, A-L-I-E. She really loved her. Don't use a teacher's first name in public.

Yeah. You can't do that. Can't use first names of teachers. I just really would love to find her and thank her. I also have a high school related. Oh. You'll love to see it. Beautiful.

Alexandria, who's a TAPA and teacher, says, I have an extremely quiet class, which I would have thought was a good thing as a teacher. They're good students, but they don't always feel comfortable talking up because none of them are actually friends outside of the class. It's kind of like a random bunch where they don't know each other that well.

Yeah. I've tried some other community building activities with little luck, but today I played normal or nah in the classroom. They all finally talked and laughed amongst each other and found some common ground because, oh, yeah, I'm a normal with that as well and, oh, we both don't like this thing and it helped them come out of their shell a little bit.

Icebreaker, icebreaker. Yep. She goes, it was so great to find some common ground and it's a different room now that we've played Normal or Nah. So you'll love to see that. I was going to recommend the Normal or Nah card game. Tony's shaking her head. Not for the classroom, not for children, not for under,

I was going to say 18, under 25s or workplaces or anyone that you respect or want to respect you. If you can't rent a car, you should not play that game. And I've always said that. Yeah. Yeah, but go to our link tree. It's in the link in bio, the Normal or Nah card game. There's a few left there. But not for kids.

Not for kids. In fact, it ruined some friendships and ruined some Christmas days, I believe. Yeah. There's some people that haven't swung them for six months because someone said that they fed birds at the park. That was it. Do you remember? Yeah. And it caused a rift between friends.

Hayden Dibb, our mate, they played on Christmas Day with the family. Really? And he was the one like dealing the cards. Nice. And so he was like, here's a fun one, here's a fun one. Oh, I might just... Oh, yeah. Yeah, Grandma doesn't want to hear that one.

That's okay. Grandma doesn't want to hear my answer to that one. Oh, nah. Obviously. Oh, no. Obviously, nah. I would never suck a guy off. Just kidding.

I'm like, to your naughty cousin. You know how everyone's got, like... No, he's driving his new car. He only got his license at over 30. Yeah. Anyway. We digress. Yeah.

Have a great weekend, everyone. Tomorrow, normal. Have a great weekend. Oh, no. It's fucking Wednesday. It's Wednesday. It's hump day. Fuck.

I love that you said have a great weekend tomorrow on the show. Have a great weekend. Tomorrow on the show, normal or nah. Submit them in the Tony and Ryan Facebook group. There's a thread there. Yeah. And good luck with the Normal or Nah cards if you do so wish. All right.

Love you. Bye. Love you. Bye.
