Welcome to the podcast. Hello, I'm Tony. This is Ryan. We are calling the Mermaid Goddess. Do you reckon that's their real name? Yes. Maybe it's their job. Oh. Hello? Hello, is this the Mermaid Goddess?

Depends on who's asking. Is this a certain podcast from Australia? Possibly. I mean, how often do you give out your phone number and that name? I mean, I only give it out to certain people. Well, lucky us. It's Tony and Ryan. We're talking to the mermaid goddess, and will you approve this podcast? Well, it would be a huge inconvenience, but for the two of you,

I guess I will. Good on you. Thank you. Hi, this is not just any mermaid goddess, but the mermaid goddess from Baltimore, Maryland, and I approve this podcast. Coming up today, out-of-office emails are getting out of control. And I feel like it's the perfect time of year to discuss them. Everyone's off on holiday.

Yep, absolutely. Are those out of, yeah. Oh, that, yeah, okay, gotcha. You know what I mean? Yep. What did you think it was? Sorry, it's only just made sense what we're doing. What do you mean?

Because I have loved these email sign-offs. Oh, I've seen those on TikTok. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll get to them soon. But first, normal or nah? So basically normal or nah, we take some topics, we decide whether we think it's normal or whether it's nah.

Very exciting update about normal or not coming early next year. Is there? Tell me what it's not. Sorry, I've just had to tell Ryan. I've beeped. Yeah. You've heard a beep. I forgot about that.

Yeah. That's going to be sick. I'm working on it. You haven't done anything about it, but I've been working on it, so that's exciting. Have you? Have you even opened the Google Sheet that is pertaining to what I'm discussing with you?

No. No, I haven't. Nope. Normal or nah, Tapa Rebecca says, I can't stand subtitles on a movie. Oh. You know when sometimes it's just like the default on Netflix or whatever? If I see a movie's got subtitles, stop the movie immediately.

And if I can't figure out how to turn them off, I shut down the movie. I will not do it, says Rebecca. However, if a reel or a TikTok does not have texts, I can't stand it and I'll swipe straight away. You expect me to have fucking volume on a reel or a TikTok? Fuck no. Is this behaviour normal or nah? 100% normal.

I thought I was the only one. Because it's quite the contrast, isn't it? Yeah, but the subtitle one on like a movie is fair enough, I think. And I've heard people with the same opinion as me. But I have never really thought about the two next to each other. If a video pops or like if I'm tapping through Instagram stories and I see one doesn't have captions, like I just swipe away. I'm not going to turn that.

Like I'm sitting at work or on the bus or something. I'm not going to turn the volume up like a freak. No, even if I'm on the couch at home. Ah, Todd was there. You don't want to interrupt him. Exactly. If I start playing sound out loud, he thinks that I'm like, or even if he was doing it, I'd go, oh, what are you showing me?

Yeah. No, I'm just listening. What? Then it's like a two-person activity, which Instagram just isn't. No, it's a one-person game. Thank you. Yeah, totally normal. I agree that it's a two-person activity if the volume's on.

Yeah. Thank you. And you don't know that Bridget or Torb's or your partnerperson activity if the volume's on. Yeah, thank you. And you don't know that Bridget or Torbs or your partner wants to be involved in this activity. No, I think it's actually. What if they're watching their own thing? It's quite rude. Remember when you first got a phone and a big part of like setting up your phone

was like choosing your ringtone and stuff? Don't. I'm still triggered. You know what my dad did to me. I know. Yeah, on the train. On a train after the football. So a packed train. The a train after the football. So a packed train. The phone's ringing on loud. And he decided to test all the ringtones to see which one he liked.

Yeah. No. No. He was trying to get you involved. And half a fucking north of everyone on the Hurstbridge line. Yeah. But, no, I won't watch something that doesn't have captions on Instagram. But I find watching a movie with subtitles so distracting.

I can't watch the movie because I'm reading it instead. If I wanted to read, I'd fucking buy a book. Mine. I don't need therapy and otherwise I tell myself you can pre-order it. Pre-order now. Why, right now. Links in our show notes. So have you ever watched a movie with subtitles?

Only if I'm at someone's house and they've got them on. Because I know there's some quirky, fun French movies and stuff. Yeah. Oh, like I've watched foreign films, but I just then, I'm looking at the text and I'm not watching what's happening. Do you prefer dubbing? Have you seen Money Heist and it's dubbed? See, I can't do that either because as a sound person.

You're like, this is out of sync. It's not quite right. It freaks me out. Yeah, it's it's really hard to do that yeah and i can just see i'm like it's not the voice of that face no you can't take it seriously yeah yeah not the voice of that face that's such a good way of putting it thank you um caitlin wheatsell normal or nah not this is we did a few weeks ago like what did you think was normal in your family?

And this is some fucking weird energy here. Okay. I think, but maybe I'm wrong as well. Caitlin Weitzel, normal or nah? Not showering during a thunderstorm. Growing up, I was taught not to shower during a thunderstorm because of lightning strikes, the pipes, the water could electrocute. Shout out to Caitlin who tried to write electrocute she actually wrote electrocutory board and i like that uh when i went off to college my roommate went to take a shower

during a thunderstorm and i was like no wait there's a storm outside you're crazy like you could die and the college roommates, are you okay, bro? Am I going to have to live with you for the next four years? What the fuck are you talking about? And it was only then that Caitlin realized that maybe showering in the thunderstorm is not the dangerous life-threatening activity that she thought it was. I'm going to say nah because I've never heard that. Yeah. But I am frequently wrong. So I'm not going to say nah overall because in some parts of the world maybe that is true. And also I've often said Tony and Tony's family is like a marketer's dream

and also like probably susceptible to a conspiracy. Yeah. So even just I see Tony's face as I read that and Tony starts going, but fucking could that like that? I don't want to get electrocuted. If water got like what does it go through like copper pipes? But it's different in every city, right? I don't know.

Surely. No, because sometimes there's plastic. Sometimes there'd be like terracotta or concrete or whatever. So but if it was is copper conductible or whatever the word is? Sure, like it's metal. It could just really get a zing going. Surely. So it doesn't really sound wrong, does it?

But I don't know how it would electrocute you because the water doesn't get energised. Doesn't it? No, only the pipe would. You can get shocked underwater. Like if lightning hit water and you're in the pool, I reckon you'd feel it. Yeah, but it's going straight into the body of water that you're in. Yeah.

So I feel like that would be different. I remember asking mum as a kid, like if we were in the pool, like if there was a, because I grew up, oh, sorry, backstory. I grew up like in the suburbs, like up in the hills in Perth. And so there would always be bushfires, like in the summer. Like you wouldn't go a summer without there being one or two or three bushfire scares. And I remember asking my mum, like, if there's a fire coming,

should we jump in the pool? It seems logical. Because I'm like, well, the fire can't get in the pool. And my mum was like, well, no, like that's obvious, that's not. She's like, good question, but like, no, don't do that. Well, that's my little dim sum. Like a little dim sum. Bobbling away.

It's terrifying, right? But would the water heat up or would I be safe? Imagine boiling like that. I don't want to, actually. Yeah. Thank you. Don't imagine that at all. Caitlin, good, great question. No answer.

Maybe someone knows the answer and can let us know in the thread in our Facebook group today. Please. The next one's from Ryan Jonathan Dunn. Oh. Normal or nah? The non-pregnant person saying

we're pregnant. Normal or nah? I think normal. Really? I quite like that. I'm not pregnant. Bridget is pregnant. Yeah.

We're both expecting a baby. We're both going to be parents, but I'm not pregnant, and it's a big nah from me. Oh. See, I think that, like, when you hear someone say, oh, yeah, my wife's pregnant. Yeah. Makes it sound like they're not invested.

Well, it does when you give it that attitude. But like because that's kind of, you know, when people go, oh, yeah, my wife's pregnant. What about this? My wife's pregnant. Yeah. I've only ever heard it the first one. Oh, okay. A couple of accidents in the Lodge family.

No, like just like from people that I've worked with and stuff like, oh, you know, when you kind of hear someone that's maybe a bit ladsy who's like, yeah. The miso. Yeah. The miso's up the daff. Yeah. But I don't hate we're pregnant because we are, I guess,

in that situation you are assuming that pregnant is like synonymous with like we're having a baby. So we are having a baby or we're expecting. Because I know it does some people's head in when you say we're pregnant. They're like, no, not correct. And I think I'm one of them. I do. I absolutely see where you're coming from.

But I think it's nice because it's like we're both like. We're expecting. Yeah, like we are in this together. We are starting a family. There is not a child, despite the look of my stomach, growing inside of me. I do get what you're saying. But if somebody said that to me, I definitely wouldn't be like, oh, well, you're not pregnant. Like, what an asshole thing to-

Get off my car! Oh, sorry, you fucking carrying the baby? I would do the honourable thing and wait till I'd finished hanging out with them and then bitch about them later. In the car? Yeah. Oh, you don't have a car. Bitch about them on the bus.

On the scooter that I don't own because it was stolen. Finally, Yennefer. Hi, Yennefer. Normal or nah, wearing your partner's perfume to sleep. I'm currently not living with my partner and the nights I'm not with him, I miss him so much. So I decided to get the same aftershave he uses and splash a bit on my pyjamas every night when I'm alone so I can sleep easy. Is this normal or nah? Some people

say it's cute. My cousins reckon I'm creepy and intense and I'm fucked. Yennefer. I've never done it, but I will say but I would say normal. It felt cute. It felt like I get it. I think that when- But your cousins aren't wrong. When you're doing the long D- Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? No, I don't think- You're going to have to clarify. No, when you're doing long distance- Oh, right. Or not living with your partner or you're apart for work or whatever. Yennefer's doing the long D on weekends only. Well. Stays at her place during the week.

Right. So, yeah, I do get it. I haven't done it. And can you just read the part again where she said that, did she say that he left it behind or she bought it? She got it. So I decided to get the same aftershave heat. See, nah.

I think if the partner leaves it behind. Oh, whoops, accidental. No, not even that. It's already here. Just like, oh, it's already here, just a little spritz. Going to Chemist Warehouse and going, yep, the Joop Go, I'll grab that. My boyfriend wears that and I'll spray it at home.

Oh, hang on. Let's be the, I'll work at Chemist Warehouse. Yeah. You order the thing. Yeah. Hi there. Yeah, I'm just after the dupe go. Oh, is that what you use?

Oh, no, it's my partner uses it. Oh, so you're getting it for a present? No, actually we're doing the long D at the moment and I'm really missing them. So I thought that I'd spray it on my pyjamas at night before I rub one out in full sleep because it just makes everything a little bit easier. Oh, that's fucking gross. Okay. Yep. Card though. Yeah. Put it on my pyjamas at night before I rub one out and fall asleep because it just makes everything a little bit easier. Oh, that's fucking gross. Okay. Yep.

Card though. Yeah. Put it on card. Are you a member? Yeah. If you sign up, you get 10% off on your birthday. No, just this one today. Okay.

Thank you so much. Oh, and some glucagel jelly beans. The jelly beans that they always have at the counter. Are they healthy? I think so. I have heard that. That's why they're there. They're in a chemist.

We're in a healthy place. Exactly. If I'm buying vitamins and jelly beans, surely it all cancels out. Hi, this is not just any mermaid goddess, but the mermaid goddess from Baltimore, Maryland, and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A shout-out to a few of our Patreons, a few of our champion tarpers. Lachlan Downey, Sarah Doganich, Alexander Wojcik-Lang, Lainey Dance and Charles Patterson.

Oh, Charles. There's a few OGs in there. Absolutely. We've come around the other side now. Feels good. And some of the names that you'll hear over the next couple of days are people who are helping us out while we're on holiday. Yes.

So we'll be getting some assistance from some OG tarpers over Christmas. We will because we would never leave you alone. So the week of the 19th and the week of the 26th, we'll have some OGs helping us out. You fucking love to see that. Thanks for helping us out. Well, speaking of going off on holiday, I want to talk out-of-office emails.

We're getting into the holiday period. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, there's like lots of holiday periods happening in the same holiday period. And it's like a lot of big biz will kind of do a little shutdown and stuff like that. So whatever you might be celebrating, most people are getting ready to take a break.

And there is fucking no better feeling in the world than turning your fucking out of office on at 5pm or sometimes a little 12pm, a lunchtime. Absolutely. You know, and fucking heading off on holiday and going, you can fucking deal with this until I get back. And you come back to 500 emails but how sweet does it feel on that Friday at midday when you fucking take off?

Can I put a little inclusion in there? Please. Coming back to 500 emails is a fucking nightmare. What is a power play is when someone's still in the office over that. You know, there's always like a couple of people holding down the floor. Oh, yeah, the skeleton staff. Yeah, the skeleton crew. And you go, oh, fucking that bloke will deal with this.

All right. The great handball. So it's funny that you say that. Oh, the skeleton crew. And you go, oh, fucking that bloke will deal with this. All right. The great handball. So it's funny that you say that. Oh, really? So is that your go-to? So like, say you were off on holiday, right? And I was staying, I was staying on. Would you put in your out of office, like, hi, thanks so much for the email. Could you contact Tony Lodge? Here's her phone number or whatever. Is that what you would do? Yeah. Okay. Because when I take a week off for Christmas, I'm going to be giving a watch to you.

Welcome to this two-person business. Tony will take care of it. Well, I'm on holiday too. Oh, God, then you're going to send it back and they're going to get trapped in this vortex of tennis getting knocked back and forth. But I feel like the more – and more like if they need an urgent response. Yeah. If you need this by the end of play.

Yeah. Tell someone who cares because it's not me today, buddy. So that's really interesting because that is not what I would write. No, you would rather waste people's time. And so now I know exactly. Rather waste people's time. We'll have to wait until you get back for them to get an answer. As if you fucking think that that's what I would do.

You'd obviously be checking your emails every day while you're on holidays and still working the whole time. Yes. Let's get serious. Thank you very much because I'm a proud millennial. Who loves being burnt out and having. Yes. You're right.

And putting on heaps of weight and being really tired. Yeah, I love it. I love it. Mate, you're preaching to the choir over here. All right. So I 100% know exactly how this is going to go now. This girl, Olivia from from Melbourne posted this TikTok with her co-workers out of office messages.

They posted on Daily Mail and the headline, and a fucking millennial wrote this, 100%. Cheeky Gen Z employees share their amusing and brutal out-of-office messages, but all it does is offend thousands of millennials. That's the headline, right? And I was like, that's a cool millennial. I don't get offended.

I don't get offended. I get jokes. This is fine. I do jokes. And then I'm reading them and I'm thinking. Are you offended? How fucking disrespectful. Tony.

Tony. I'm going to. It's people like you that are giving our generation a back. A hundred percent. Do you know Gen Z's laugh at us? Yes, I do. Because they go, why do you care about work so much? And so you're like.

Work to live, don't live to work. And you're, what's the word I'm looking for? Like playing up to this stereotype. A hundred percent. Reinforcing this stereotype. But like, so we've talked on this pod before about like when you're sick, take time off. And then I worked for three weeks and I was fucking sick as a duck.

Yeah. And then like, oh, make sure you go on holiday. And then I'm like, oh, but like. All jokes aside about out of office emails, my actual answer is I've never put mine on. But then how do people know that you're not just ignoring them? Well, I don't care about that, but I'll still like randomly check on my phone.

For fear of coming back for $500, I'd rather come back and be- But like if you put it on- I'm not recommending it. No. I'm just saying that's- But like I think that putting it on is considerate because then if people are waiting on a response, then they go, oh, you're actually not in. Yeah.

It also probably took me three or four years longer than it should have to know how to put. How to even do it. Yeah. Anyway, so these cheeky Gen Z employees, they know how to do it, but I don't know about what they've written. Okay, so am I going to be offended? I hope so, but probably not. Okay.

The first one is from Andrea, and she wrote, so this is an automatic reply. So I've emailed Andrea being like, hey, just wondering where the document is about the ding-dong, whatever, and the automatic bounce back that comes back is error 404, employee not found. That's just really fucking blunt, isn't it? Doesn't it then have a follow-up line?

No, that's it. And then it just has like Andrea's like normal email signature of like, Andrea, level 44, ding dong, drive, whatever. Joseph. Wow, because that doesn't. Hang on. So I've emailed her. Yeah, so you've emailed Andrea being like, hey.

And then I cop error 404. Yeah. And then what's your natural response? Oh, I've typed in the wrong email address or I'll need to resend it because there has in fact been an error. So now I'm confused. Oh, okay. So you're really fucking good.

Then what do I do then? You've got your backup. Do I resend it? I thought that you were going to be on the jet-lag site. It turns out that you're a millennial just like me. When does the error end? When is she back? So you would get the email.

I'm cool. I'm cool. I'm cool. I've never seen you get so fucking frustrated before. I'm cool and I'm calm. Is this an episode of Flappable the email. I'm cool. I'm cool. I'm cool. I've never seen you get so fucking frustrated before. I'm cool and I'm calm. Is this an episode of Flappable, Ryan? I'm cool and I'm calm. Are you a lodger?

Maybe my mum's your mum. Oh, sorry for your loss. I make it up when we. Fuck each other. We're pregnant. Joseph's automatic out of office-office reply was, on vacation, hoping to win the lottery and never return. No, yeah, no.

It's all truth. It's not rude. It's just fact. I'm for that. Tremaine simply said, contact someone other than me. Perfection. Perfect. See, no, but I think that if it said, hey, I'm actually,

I'm currently out of office, if you could contact Ryan John in the meantime or if it needs to wait, like I'll be back or checking emails intermittently or whatever. But just say contact someone. I just, oh, balls. That is ballsy, but I'm still okay with that. Someone wrote, please enjoy your break away from me, like trying to make it cute.

I like that. I thought that was quite cute. That's probably something that I would say after saying that I would be intermittently checking my emails. Christmas Day, I'm like, oh, my God. Hi, here's the document you asked for. Tony, enjoy being on holidays away from Ryan. Rochelle wrote, I'm unsure why you're emailing me,

given that I put this in my calendar months ago. Wow. Nah, fuck that. What's that, Rochelle? Rochelle. Rochelle, you can go fuck yourself, Rochelle, because it's not my job to check your calendar before I email you. Nah, fuck you.

And if I might say, I think that that is millennial energy being like, well, you're responsible for your own destiny. It's current energy. Isn't it? Yeah. I think that that's more millennially than Gen Z. Yeah. But then I guess if you're putting it back on the other person,

maybe that is Gen Z vibes. Maybe that is like. No, it's not taking accountability. But they don't. They go, well, it's not like you emailing me is not my responsibility. I wish I was a Gen Z. Do you? I don't know.

You did buy those- Not this entitlement. You did like those when you got the baggy jeans. Yeah, the straight leg jeans. Yeah, that is cool now. This one's a bit scathing. Do not contact me while I'm on leave or I'll report you to HR. Wow.

What if it is HR? Can you imagine writing those words? Because what you've got to keep in mind is, is like, you know when you click that button that's like, include everyone on the project? Yeah. Like, it's not like every email is specifically to you. To you, no. So you're like, hey team, here's the updated thing.

Yeah. And you just click on the button that says project sigma and it just reply all yeah and goes to everyone and then they get this instant thing oh yeah that's like oh man you're like well fuck you you're just on the project yeah don't be personally offended that i'm still at work yeah or like you know how at the end of the year was that one um that one didn't have a name yeah fucking good because yeah i wouldn't put my name on that either fuck you're getting so head up. I absolutely love it.

You know how at the end of the year the CEO generally writes like that, hi, organisation, great year this year. Great year this year. Enjoy a champagne that is actually Prosecco on us in the lunchroom at two or whatever. Thanks for all your hard work this year. Exactly, right? You know how that season's greetings, general email.

The boss is going to get the fucking don't contact me while I'm on leave or I'll contact HR. Imagine though like if I know that you can select like whether it's inside organisation or outside, but imagine if a client saw that because they were on that email or whatever. Do you know what I mean? Like I just, oh. There's boundaries and there's rudeness.

I couldn't agree more. Yeah. I could not agree more. You know how, what being polite costs? Nothing. It's free. It's, it's actually, you gain money. Well.

It's profitable to be a nice guy. It absolutely is. And I regret not saying profitable there. Rather than free. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the last one. I will be out of office from 13th of the 10th to 17th of the 10th. If it's an emergency, call triple zero.

No, I'm okay with that. I really need my documents. Do you need fire? The deadline's trying to lock the clients on our ass. Fire or police. They go, oh, I just really need James? The deadline's trying to clock the clients on our ass. Fire or police. They go, oh, I just really need James, but he's out of the office. I was hoping that, is this his direct line? Like.

But like don't call triple zero. Obviously. I think the joke is like if you're annoying me with a broken leg, I mean, go to hospital. But like. No, I don't mind that. Now, do you, now that we've seen this, are you like anti-Gen Z or is there a part of it that you are embracing?

I'm not anti-Gen Z. I'm not really anti-anyone. I think that every generation has its flaws or like its like habits or whatever. I think that I do enjoy that in this very specific situation that, you know, boundaries of like actually, yeah, I don't live to work. I work to live. So I go to my job and I don't owe you anything beyond my job. I work for my annual leave.

I'm currently on annual leave. I've earned this. I've earned this time off. I'm being paid for my time off. Yep. I totally agree with the boundary, but I think you put it perfectly when you said, like, there's boundaries and there's rudeness.

Like, I think that simply putting, like, hey there, thanks so much for reaching out. I'm currently on leave. I'll be back on the 15th. I know what we're going to do. What? After this. Yep.

Because we're going to take a few weeks off over Christmas. Yeah, you're welcome. We're going to write each other's out-of-office emails. I'm going to give them Bridget's phone number. So if you fuck with me, they'll be ringing Bridget on Christmas Day. Sorry, that came out of nowhere. There's rudeness and there's boundaries and that was fucking rude. Well, if you fuck with me, they'll be calling Bridget.

How will they know that? I don't know. How is that possible? Because I'm writing yours. No, I'll write yours though and I'll be calling Bridget. How will they know that? I don't know. How is that possible? Because I'm writing yours. No, I'll write yours though and I'll be like, if you need me, call Bridget on 04 blah, blah, whatever. But you won't know if I've been nice or not because we'll do it. So what if I go nuclear and then you're like, hey, call Ryan.

We'll do that next week. Okay. Finally here, I've been looking at the Gen Z email sign-offs. Now, what's your sign-off at the moment? Is it just like a yours truly or a regards Tony? I know you've got your email address and contact details and stuff on the bottom there. But what's that kind of sign-off line, if you will?

I normally, and I'm quite proud of this, I think it's quite cool, I normally write thanks, comma, T. Oh. That's what I normally put. And then at the bottom it's got like, Tony Lodge, she, her, and my email and my phone number and our like. So you just say thanks. Well, normally I've said thank you about 55 times in the email.

And apologise for things that you haven't done. With like 12,000 exclamation marks and stuff like that. So normally like thanks. By the time you get there. Oh, yeah. Let me read some of these Gen Z sign-offs. And I actually don't hate a lot of these. But you tell me if you think it's too far.

Yep. Because this is from my favorite TikTok. This girl is like, I'm a millennial manager and here's the sign-offs from my team. It was probably Olivia that I was just talking about. It's probably the same person. It probably is. Bless up, Liam.

What does that even mean? Charlotte says, mean regards, Charlotte. No, that's nasty, Charlotte. I don't like that. Gemma. Every email signed off with, another day, another slay. Gemma. Slay, serve and survive.

Sammy. These just sound like Instagram bios. They don't sound... We're going to hate them. Georgia. Lukewarm regards. I just don't think that's funny. And I'm sorry that I sound really uptight, but as a comedian.

Well, there's no comedians in my household, but there are in yours. Just the one. Lukewarm regards, Georgia. I just don't find that. I see where she's going with that, but I don't think it's funny. Sophie, cold regards. That's just mean. James, over and out.

I don't hate over and out. I hate that the least so far. Danny, stay slaying Danny. That's kind of cute and playful. I just. Mailey, boiling hot regards. I kind of like boiling hot regards. Yeah.

What does yours say? I don't have one, obviously. No, but at the bottom, what do you just sign off with? R. Yeah. So I just say like, thanks, T. But these are like built in. Oh, like on their email signature.

Oh. They haven't just typed it. Like this is what's built in. Oh, no. And the last one is from Mark. Just says, mic drop, Mark. Oh. They haven't just typed it. Like this is what's built in. Oh, no. And the last one is from Mark. It just says mic drop, Mark. What's wrong with sent from my iPhone? I fucking hate that.

But what's wrong with that? We get it. You're an Apple user. Get another personality. Well, otherwise they say like sent from my Galaxy or whatever. Yeah. With my shit font from Samsung. Yeah.

Don't talk about that. They don't like that. They don't like that. They don't like that. Sony was almost cancelled for calling out Samsung users. I was. Because she hates them. Yeah, I do.

Well. Keep slaying. We'll write each other's out of office and we'll quickly recap for everybody next Friday before we head off. We'll, yeah, on Friday's episode on the video show, after we exchange our Secret Santa gifts, we'll let you know what we went with. There'll be a big

reveal of our Out of Office replies. Tomorrow on the show. Oh, we still have to do You Love to Say It. Yeah. Did you want to? Tarp has ruined your life. He's on the show tomorrow. Why? What did they do? What did we do to ruin their lives?

Oh. Here's my love to set. Okay. Which one of these two people in a relationship are you? And for us, let's talk about our working non-sexual relationship. Oh, okay. That's brutal. This tweet by Eric perfectly sums up the two of us.

Eric tweets, My wife spent six weeks researching customer reviews for a vacuum cleaner, and one time I bought a brand new car because I had the same dog as the guy in the commercial. He goes, oh, that's a cute dog. I'll buy it. At least I know my dog will look good in it. Which is one of the safety features. I don't give a fuck.

Does it look cute next to that dog? Yes, it does. And I'll get the same colour. That guy looks like a guy like me, and he looks like he's having a good time driving a car like that. And just before, you said that I was very susceptible to marketing. To marketing, yeah. Yeah, true.

You've got to do your research. Not all of us just have money to splash. It's not about the money. It's about having a car that suits your dog. You don't have a car at all. Got a dog though. Oh, well, just look for people that are selling cars that have Kelpies in the commercial

and you'll be able to find the perfect one for you. Can someone please post in the episode thread if you've ever seen a Kelpie in a car commercial and I'll buy that car. Must be nice. What, to have a car? It fucking must be. You keep telling me about it, so I'm going to do it.

If there's a Kelpie in the ad. Okay, all right. One stipulation. Bonus points for a pregnant wife. But not both of you being pregnant. We are not pregnant. We are expecting Bridget is pregnant. My love to see it is a tweet shared by atwholesomememe,

which is quite funny. For the first time in my life, a tall person standing in front of me at a concert looked back and said, can you see? And then said, of course you can't. I'm like six feet tall. And then moved behind me. I wish so many blessings on their house.

But does that just imply that anyone that's really tall has to stand at the back of a whole concert? Because then what happens? Then he's in front of someone else. And he just keeps switching until he's in the toilet. He's in the car park just listening to murmurings of Ariana Grande. I get that it would be really hard as a tall person because, yeah, no matter where you are, you're still in front of someone.

Yeah. But as a short person, it really sucks being stuck in like a really packed concert or whatever and your literally face is in someone's back. Do you want to know? This is a hot tip for young singles. Uh-huh. There's no better way to meet someone at a music festival

than when you're standing in front of someone. I'm not that tall, but I'm six foot tall. And there's a girl behind you and you're like, can you not see? Do you want to get on my shoulders? That is a hot thing that would happen. Yeah. That's never happened to me.

No? No. Because I'm not hot and small and beautiful. Like I'm just like in the way and I'm sweaty and I'm like bitching about the tall person. Excuse me, do you want to piggyback? Shut the fuck up, talk to me. Yeah, I can't fucking say anything.

You know what, I'm trying to, yeah, okay. Yeah, but that is a hot tip. Would you love to be on someone's shoulders at a music festival? I don't think so. I'd be really scared of falling down. When everyone catches you, it's like there's such a communal event. It is a communal event. Like a supportive crowd and like just once.

Is that a fucking fun thing? It is probably on my fuck at least actually to like crowd surf. Crowd surf? Do you reckon we could crowd surf? Absolutely. What if no one caught me? That would be so embarrassed. But that's the thing. list actually to like crowd surf. Crowd surf? Do you reckon we could crowd surf? Absolutely. But if no one caught me, I'd be so embarrassed. But that's the thing.

You need to just put your faith in the gods of the festival community. When you dive off that stage with your arms out, you just need to hope and pray that people are going to catch you. And that's a part of the magic is when you do get caught, it's like, you know, you put your faith in and then faith returns. That was beautiful. Without the risk of landing face first in a circle of people in a mosh pit, the excitement of the other end is not as strong.

Thank you, Oprah. You're welcome. Now everyone gets a car. Only if there's a Kelpie in the commercial. We can make that happen. Yeah, let's do that. Let's do that. Let's do that. Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah. that happen. Yeah, let's do that. Let's do that. Let's do that. Fuck yeah.

Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah. Yeah. All right, great. Okay. Oh, what are we doing? Oh, my God. Speaking of putting your faith in people and them not coming through,

I've got a story tomorrow. Okay. Yep. Is it a type of ruins your life or it's a separate category? Separate category. Was your life ruined? My personal life. More on that tomorrow.

For the video show. Video show. All right, see you tomorrow. Love you, bye.
