What?
The subject line,
thank you.
What are you talking about?
Well, there must be some mistake.
Yep.
How could you do this to me?
I felt like I had been,
I was really upset.
I replied and I said,
was it something I did?
Hi, I'm Haley,
and this is Poppy from Sydney, Australia.
Hi, I'm Demi, and this is Boleyn,
and we're from Brisbane, Australia.
I'm Carissa from Pennsylvania,
and we approve this podcast.
Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast.
My name is Ryan.
This is Dr. Arthur Tony Lodge.
What's up, bitch?
Everything are right over here, man?
Yeah, I'm excited for normal or nah.
I can, we can tell.
I love normal or not.
Yeah, if you're new here, welcome.
Let's be friends.
I'm Ryan.
This is Tony.
You can hang out and be your true self here.
It's a safe space.
Safe space.
Now, this is actually going to,
I don't know how I feel about this.
Yeah.
Tarp and Megan's message.
through.
Hi, Megan.
Megan, Mugan, fucking whatever.
Say you've got the house to yourself.
Oh.
Don't you get any ideas?
Charles has got his house to himself at my house this weekend.
I was something too raunchy.
Charles is dog sitting, Tony's dog while she babysits my baby.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you need a draw a drawing or something?
Probably could have cut the middleman and just gotten Charles to look after Mabel,
but you don't trust him like you trust me.
that's what
they're your words
who's more important
Mabel or your dog Pippa
um
my
my first instinct is Mabel
because like
she's so important to you
like I wouldn't ever want to do anything
that like took something away from you
you know
um
this is actually just a really unfair question
like because
there's no nice way of answering
it because obviously I love my dog so much.
But like, you know.
Same tier.
Same tier.
Yeah.
What I'm getting at is that you looking after Mabel and Charles looking after your dog,
there's no who's the better helper.
We just are all a bunch of friends who love each other.
They're all the same tier.
And we're all helping each other out.
Yes.
No, I love it.
No, so fair.
So Megan's got the, also Charles lives by himself.
So when you're like, oh, he took the night to himself.
Yeah, but at my house.
Yeah.
He can jerk up.
off all he wants at his place.
So Megan's friend says, oh, you've got the night off.
Isn't that great?
You don't have to like clean up and impress everyone.
You can just be your mess yourself.
Yeah, sure.
And Megan goes, no.
Oh.
And this is her normal or nah.
Cleaning up before a solo night in.
When I've got the house to myself, I clean it better than I've ever cleaned it before.
Because you get to enjoy it.
Then I light some candles.
I have an everything full shower routine.
Nice.
Then I sit with some snacks and watch.
some trashy TV.
It's basically a date night with me and my dog,
but it's just pristine.
I like that actually, yeah, normal.
Yeah.
Because I think when I,
cleaning up the house and stuff,
I actually quite enjoy pottering around.
Yeah.
Like on the weekend,
I don't really see it as like,
oh, you've got to do the,
and I'm like, oh,
I'll watch an episode of TV,
then I'll get up and do the kitchen.
Yep.
And then I'll go outside and maybe do something in the guy.
I'd just like to kind of move around.
So that to me is quite enjoyable.
So I'm going to say normal.
If I've had a big dinner, I'll like.
What have you had?
Talk me through it.
You're big on meatballs at the moment.
Yeah, let's go a big spaghetti and meatball.
I've probably had a Nogroni.
Bridges had a wine.
Like, tummy's full.
Yeah.
Mabes in bed.
Oh, no, sometimes.
Oh, yeah.
And so after dinner, Mabes will like, yeah, maybe chuck on some bluey or something.
Yeah.
And I'll be like, because I'm so full, I'll be like, oh, I'll just like,
like nothing is better than just curling up with mapes because she like sink right into you on the
couch. Very good. And I'm like, I'll just sit here and watch an episode of blue with like seven minutes
and I'll clean up after. Yeah. Oh, isn't that the biggest lie you tell yourself? I'll just do that
later. Oh, that pot needs to soak.
Who side of you? But like, you know? But Bridget's like, oh, if the kitchen's messy,
I can't relax. I get that. So, because for me, I'm like, oh, mate, I am so relaxed. And
And I'll get to that in time.
Yeah.
And she's like, if we're relaxing.
I'm not because.
But that concept, she's like, well, I would have to do this, this, this and this.
I'm like, yeah, but you either do this and then relax or you can relax and do that.
Like, what's the difference really?
Yeah.
No.
I would rather do the work up front because then I'm like, I don't have anything like hanging
over my head.
I think that's what it is because she'll just be sitting on the couch and then I'll do that.
I still have to get up.
Whereas if you've done it and then you can just lay on the couch or whatever.
Yeah.
There's still something that when you get up or you're...
But I've got a belly full of meatballs and I'm full and I just want to see it.
And the groney and meatball and tomatoes, like I need a...
Oh, that's a recipe for bedtime.
I need a gaviscon.
Oh, yeah.
And I'm fucking, I'm breathing acid over here.
You might need a nexium for that.
Double drop.
Yeah.
I don't know you could double drop nexiums until Jarch told me.
Yeah.
Because before he goes out on a big night with the lads, he'll double drop a nexium.
Yeah, you got to get ahead there.
That's a heartburn medication.
by the way.
Yeah.
Um, I,
yeah,
for me,
it's like getting ahead of it
because you know what I do.
I'll go,
oh,
I'll get back up when MKR's finished,
right?
Oh,
and then.
Don't they drag those out?
9.30.
And I go,
well,
all right.
My kitchen rules my evening.
Yeah.
My kitchen rules my schedule.
And then,
so I'm on the couch,
right.
I find out who's going home.
And I go,
oh,
wonderful.
Thanks,
call on a menu.
That's just great.
Yep.
And then I go,
oh,
ready for bed now
and I get up and I see
all the shit that I haven't done yet.
And you have to walk through the kitchen
to get to Tony's bedroom.
Yeah.
So it's like,
it's not,
so it's not bedtime yet.
Yeah.
Because I've got to.
Nope.
So that's why I'd prefer to do it beforehand.
But Torbs is the same as you.
Like it wouldn't bother him.
Yeah.
But I'm like, oh, just,
do you know,
I'm also just to clean as you go cook.
Like as I know,
I know,
No, no.
I'm with you.
Yeah.
Oh, are you?
Yeah, because...
What's Bridge then?
So...
Oh, that's not the sides I thought that would land on.
What would you describe the game of life as?
What's the real game we're all playing here?
Just trying to get ahead of it.
Okay.
Bridget's game is, I wonder how many pots and pans I could use tonight.
How much...
That is so far.
Oh, I did not see that.
That was a twist.
That's like a fucking...
I know I've got a pan going and a pot here for the sauce, but if I get another pot to do
the other bit, then there's more shit to clean.
Does she need it by to make your dinner?
You know what I thought?
Well, here's the thing.
That's why you would never mention it to her because like.
Yeah.
It's like when there's no nice way to say missed a spot.
Yeah.
Oh, you just missed a spot there.
Like, do we really need to use all those pots and pans and the, and the, oh.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Oh, I felt a laugh.
Did you want to have a cook, did you?
Do you want to have a crack at it?
Did you want to have a cook?
That's so funny.
Yeah.
Do you want to do it?
Yeah, interesting.
So you just shut the fuck up.
But when you and I have cooked together like on a live stream, you're not clean as you go at all.
Yeah, because I'm doing the live stream.
See, I can't separate those two things.
Because I'm like, well, no, when I cook, I do this.
I forget like entertaining cook.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I'm in showbiz.
Yeah, no, so true.
Cass.
Hi, Cass.
As a normal one, oh, and we're in a kitchen one today.
Oh.
Stopping the microwave early and leaving it on random times.
Because she hates the sound of the beep, beep.
Oh, yeah.
So there'll be seven seconds left and she'll just open the door and get it.
And then she'll leave the seven seconds on the door.
Just clear it off.
Right.
So you know how.
It's a safe space, unless names, Cass.
You know how everything, including me and my house makes heaps of noise?
Yeah.
So you know how my washing machine goes like, do, do, do.
do do do do do do do do do do do.
Yeah, does the whole thing to go to like 35 seconds.
My microwave as well sings a song.
So at the end of the song, no, at the end of the song it goes,
do do do do do do do do do do.
That sounds a lot like the nanny.
No, no, no, no, we don't have time.
We don't have time today.
It goes.
do do do do do do do do do do and it does that every 30 seconds until you open it.
So if you're, so say you go like, oh, yep, I've popped.
That's how hard it is to not be Tony and get attention in that house.
Yeah, I know.
Because everything's like, oh, what about me?
Every 30 seconds.
Every 30 seconds until you open the door.
And so it's like if you pop something in the microwave and go and do something.
And yeah, you like go and or you're like, oh, that's the last thing I need for dinner.
I'll pop them in the microwave and I'll go grab my clothes for tomorrow or whatever.
It just keeps doing that every 30 seconds until you open it.
I think this is what Cass is trying to avoid.
She's like, I hate the beeping.
I hate the sound.
But she said, my housemates hate seeing leftover seconds.
Yeah.
I do get that as well.
If you were opening it, I just, I think automatically I just open it and then clear it off.
It's not ready.
It's not done.
Nah.
I think that that's like.
terrorism behavior. Her roommate calls her
007 because it's always like 0.07.
Also, just put it on for seven less seconds.
Oh, she doesn't want it to beat.
Yeah, okay.
How long does that need a heat up?
53 seconds?
Yeah.
How long?
I'm just making some two minutes and seven noodles.
That's funny.
I don't think Tony knows how maths works.
No, because it needs the two minutes.
I take back what I said.
I was being a...
And you were right.
Yeah, thank you so much.
So your 53 was wrong.
Yes.
Yeah.
Oh, I used to work in a bank.
See ya.
Power hasn't gone to someone's head.
Yeah, sorry, I'm a really poor loser.
Winner.
She's terrible at both.
Yeah, I am.
I'm not that good at much stuff.
But you are good at...
Head, I know.
Microwave numbers.
Microwave numbers.
Microwave times.
Giving blow jobs.
Oh my God, my grapstone, what a mess.
She loved microwaves and dobbies.
And sucking people off.
She was good at both, but better at one.
Sorry to the microwave.
Sorry to Cass on the microwave.
Yeah.
LinkedIn might need a rejig.
I've got a new job.
I'm going to update my LinkedIn soon.
What?
Yeah.
I'll tell you about it next week on the show.
You're not allowed to do that.
We have rules against that here at this job.
You're not allowed to do, yeah, just a quick one-on-one at the end of next week.
We don't do that.
Well, you'll see when I update my LinkedIn.
No, you're not allowed to do that.
I'll spiral over the weekend.
I'm still going to do this one.
What about me?
Yeah.
Can I know before that?
No.
But that's what I'm saying.
You're not allowed to do that.
Okay, then I don't have a new job.
Oh, no, it's too late now.
And I've got a story to tell next week.
And they're not.
rely to each other.
Going on a pickleball cruise.
Tapa Ryan asks normal or nah.
Holland America Cruise Line now offers pickleball cruises as part of the global sports travel boom.
Fun.
Instead of lying on a beach or entering your third round of buffet.
Yuck.
People are now planning holidays around playing sport.
Staying at a resort purely because they have a Pidel court.
international travel for amateur golf trips,
booking holidays for running events or cycling tours.
Or in this case,
picking a cruise ship because they have pickleball tournaments on.
Normal or nah.
Oh, God.
Well, first of all, I'll say that tarpa Ryan sounds like he's got a huge lap hog.
Um,
it sounds like I'd love to show my microwave skills.
Yeah.
That's up, Nils.
I think it's really fun.
I think you should do it.
Oh my God, okay.
Royal Caribbean.com, the pickleball is included.
Oh, the Royal Caribbean have got it as well.
Unlike tennis or ping pong balls, pickleball balls have holes.
Wouldn't they fly right off the balcony?
Yeah, wouldn't you, I was going to say,
wouldn't you hate to get a top edge and just send it into the ocean?
But look at the net.
There's like a net above.
There's a net on the side.
Who's a net?
Who's a net?
Charles.
Who's a net?
And what's she doing on the sides of the room?
The net is how you separate one team from the other.
Who's a net?
She just lies in the middle of the court.
She's just,
some bitch on a crew is laying in the middle of a pickleball court.
We go, who's that?
We can't play today.
Annette's sick.
Oh, we can't play.
We need a net.
And she's like, hello, guys.
Oh, I'm ready.
Yeah.
We should make a television show called Who's Annette.
Yeah, I'm in.
Yeah, okay.
I'm in.
in.
So that's a yes for the crew.
I said normal, yeah, absolutely.
Great.
Great, great, great, great, great.
When is it?
Oh, hook in your phone.
Sorry, I've got, I'm lashing out.
You are like, is there anything you're talking about?
No, because I don't like being wound up, like saying something provocative, like you've
got another job.
Now I'm desperate to know what to be.
Look how easy it is your provocative.
No, but this is the thing I get wound up real easy.
I'm not winding up.
I'm just saying I've got a new job.
No, but you.
But you know that that would wind me up.
Not really.
You do.
The only job Tony likes me getting is a head job from her.
And the only up I like getting is you up me.
Do I like being wound up?
Except like being stuck up.
A stump up your rump.
I'm bump and dump in my rump.
Hi, I'm Carissa from Pennsylvania.
I'm Haley and this is Poppy from Sydney Australia.
Hi, I'm Demi and this is Bo Lin.
We're from Brisbane, Australia.
And you're listening to Tony and Ryan.
A massive shout out to a few of our champions.
Before we started recording again, what were the last two words you said to me?
I said, fuck you.
And I'd say it again.
Sounds like it.
That's how we all get traded here.
I just...
Let's not.
We'll start again.
No, we'll keep going.
going.
No, we'll start again.
We'll actually keep going.
No, no, no, no, we're going to start again.

Let me tell you something
about my best friend Tony
Oh
Tony Lodge
is an amazing human being.
It's a bit different to what you were saying to me in the break.
Every job interview she's got,
she's got the job because everyone loves her.
What interview did you not get?
My first job interview in radio with Carl Stepp in Perth.
I didn't get that job.
But did you get to the interview stage?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, so most of the time she gets the job.
Every job I've interviewed for I've gotten except for that one.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
But the thing is when it's come to,
romantic partners.
Tony has never dumped anyone.
And you can say why.
She's never been the dumper.
She's always been the dumpy.
And today,
our beautiful Tony Lodge,
who we care for.
Yeah.
This is a,
it's a silly space,
but it's a safe space here.
And I just want you to know
that whatever you tell us
and share with us in the next few minutes
that we love you.
Thank you so much.
And no matter what else is happening out there,
here, we are here for you.
That's really beautiful.
So are you.
That was really nice.
Sorry, I just really want,
I'm like trying to soak in every word.
You just said that was really beautiful.
That's really nice.
Is there something you'd like to share?
Yep.
I have been dumped.
And as an angry X,
dumpy,
I do have a costume change I would like to make if you would.
I actually don't know what this is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A costume change?
You're joking?
Got a costume change.
Oh, it's in the drawers.
She's putting, oh, it's running mascara.
Yeah.
Okay.
So usually you'd just actually cry and it would run on its own.
That looks so good.
Oh, too.
Again.
I jabbed to put my glasses back on.
Yeah.
It looks good though.
Thank you so much.
Do you want to put the makeup bag away?
No, that's good.
Did you still that from a Qantas flight?
Yeah, I think so.
I walked past business because I went on my arm.
I'll tell you that.
I've been dumped via email.
What?
I know.
Okay.
So since this has happened, I've done a lot of research into the stages of grief.
Mm.
Didn't Google that 13 years ago?
It's very funny because my mom is dead.
Thanks for bringing that up during my trying time.
No, I just knew that like you've, yeah, shut the fuck up.
So I received this email from our cleaner.
No, is, yeah, I already know why.
Go on.
The subject line, thank you.
Fuck off.
Hey Tony, we're hoping you have a lovely, you're having a lovely week.
Smiley past.
Well, I was.
All right.
Thank you so much for choosing us to clean your home.
Unfortunately, due to changes to our schedule and capacity, we won't be able to keep cleaning for you.
We really appreciate you supporting our little business.
And if you'd like, we're happy to suggest a few services similar to ours.
Do they use the words future endeavours?
Because wouldn't know.
That's just being cold as ice.
They say the first stage of grief is denial.
What's that river got to do with this?
That's very funny.
What's that dochie song got to do with this?
Thanks, Charles.
And I was like,
that's not right.
What?
What are you talking about?
It took you so long to find them.
I know.
And they are, like they have been unreal.
Like, they really are.
They're so good, you really have to vacuum after they leave.
Well, so initially I go into denial, right?
I'm like, well, there must be some mistake.
Yep.
What, like, do they know who I am?
How are that?
But just like, how could you do this to me?
I felt like I had been, I was really upset.
Like, I was just like, are you fucking serious?
So I emailed back and I hadn't gotten to anger yet at this point.
So I was still in denial.
That's a shame because that would have been a great.
email to read.
I replied and I said, oh, that's such a shame.
I'm so sad to read that.
Here's where the denial comes here.
Was it something I did?
They said, yeah, remember that time I vacuumed your whole house?
Then I came back in because I forgot my mop and you were vacuuming again.
Did that have anything to do with it?
Just asking.
Was it something I did?
Just so if it was, I can avoid doing it in the future.
If we find someone else suitable.
I can take on feedback and improve who I am as a person.
I'll learn from this and I'll educate myself.
I self-rejected immediately.
I'm like, I've done something wrong.
Oh, my God.
You?
Thank you so much.
I'm really wrong, but I always assume I am.
Naturally, then...
I agree with half of that.
You're a...
Um, they email back...
Oh, God.
Four hours later.
The longest...
four hours of Tony Lodge's life.
What did you do for those four hours?
Cryed.
Yeah, I can see.
They emailed back.
Oh, it's nothing you've done.
We're cutting back our hours quite dramatically and I've had to rearrange our schedule,
which unfortunately means making some big changes.
Now, naturally, I could have accepted that and gone,
they've said it wasn't me.
They've sent now two emails.
I've been pretty polite about it
Yeah and like
You know that like I asked a question
They replied it sounds like a great place to end it
Could have left it there
Naturally though
Like an angry ex-girlfriend
I decided to do a bit of an online stalk
And I'm like
Well I'll have a look on their Instagram
And see if they've said like
Oh we're closing down
Or someone's moving on or whatever
Two days
Before emailing me
Saying that they're
Cutting
drag back dramatically and all these things oh it's horrible isn't it that we've got to make all these
fucking changes oh my god fucking cry me a river slut two days before on their instagram so excited
about the beginning of the year DM and book if you would like a new cleaner yep I was
absolutely heartbroken this is where I went into the anger phase if you were trying to get rid of a
C word client, what would you tell them?
Oh my God, yeah, no, it's not you.
We're just restructuring.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So.
That's a bit brazen than them.
At this point, though, I'm like, feeling pretty sensitive about it.
And then two things happen.
And it's not these, it's not these people's fault at all.
It sounds like it.
But two things happened.
And I thought I probably could have done without that today.
First one is, Torbs goes, oh, do you?
reckon it's when they came and vacuumed and then they left the house and then you were vacuuming
and then they saw you vacuuming. I mean, we've all been thinking it. We've all been thinking it.
But I went, you know what I could have just done without that in that moment?
Oh, could you have done it without that earlier when I said it? No, no, no, no, safe space.
All good. And then my phone, and I get a text message and it's from Lily, legal Lil.
And she goes, hey, girlfriend, hope having a great weekend. Hey, can you send me the name of
your cleaner.
Oh my God.
I just,
I know you've been
ranting and raving about them.
I know they're great.
You really trust them.
Yeah,
we rarely have to re-vacuum.
They're great.
I know that you really trust them.
We really need someone who's good
with the pets as well.
If you could let me know who it is
and how much it costs.
Like,
I know you said it's a great price.
Like,
because I have,
I have sung their praises to everyone
that will listen.
And I go,
um,
little's actually not really a good time.
because they actually just broke up with me.
And she goes, what?
Why?
And I was like, but they are really good.
And their name is blah.
And they cost about this much.
Lil,
have you actually reached out to these people?
No, do you know what, Lily?
And I will, I will, no, you did.
Right.
Okay, I'm going to, I'm going to sing Lily's praises here.
I go, they honestly, though, they are great.
And I do really recommend them.
And she goes, if they don't want you,
I don't want them
And
Legal Lil is now loyal Lil
Do you know what though
As a heartbroken ex-girlfriend
In this situation
That's what your besties are supposed to do
So true
Fuck him
He's the worst f***in that's ever existed
That cleaner never even did your cleaning
You know
Yeah
That's what you need to hear in that moment
That's real best girlfriend shit
Yeah
What a great friend would do
Is let the person believe
You didn't call them
Fuck.
You, she didn't.
She wouldn't do that.
Lil, how's the house looking?
The house is looking great.
No, I did not contact them.
I contacted a different cleaner who I'm trialing this week.
Wonderful.
Wonderful.
What are you,
you trial the same one, Tony?
And we could do?
You'll have to.
But what I want to know is like, where did we pop out of their schedule, you know?
Oh, I reckon I know.
No, but I don't think really that they've.
Do you generally?
Sorry, you're still got the running mascara and it's so funny.
Yeah, I can't take it.
Yeah, no, yeah.
We've got a meeting in 10 minutes.
I know, though, like, like, ha, yeah,
they broke up with you because of the vacuum clean up.
Do we give them a call?
Do we actually, like, best friend to best friend,
safe space here.
Do we really, or is it just the calendar restructuring?
Well, the fact they're asking for new people,
if it was a calendar restructure, they would go,
hey, mate, you know how you usually come on a Wednesday?
Can we come on Thursday instead?
Okay.
Yeah, okay, you're not doing what Lily did, which was making me feel better.
But you're being honest.
No, you're being honest.
What do you want for me right now?
Do you want honesty or support?
No, no.
I think I need support because I think deep down I know the reason.
But the reason I didn't.
Hey, hey, hey.
Sorry.
No, it's happened now.
I just need to get over it.
Do you want me to reach out to them, see if they accept me.
And if they like do accept.
Say that you live on my street, but like three down.
Well, no, like Michael John's house.
what I'll do
fake name
Michael Jordan
is I'll call them
and say
my good friend
who lives at
your address
next to Michael Jordan
has recently been
restructureded out of the business
and I
move sideways
would like to know why
we're just
we're just hella curious
yeah it's fine
you can take on or not take on
whoever you like
And that's actually at your discretion.
We just want to know.
I just need to know.
We host a comedy podcast and we need closure.
I do.
I think that's what it is.
That's why email being like, is it something that I did?
Because genuinely right?
Obviously, a bit of mayo here.
Like, I, but I was really upset because I was like, fuck.
What are you saying the mascara is?
It's a bit of acting occurring.
Yeah.
I mean, when I saw you put the mascara on, it should have been a clue, but.
But the thing is.
is that like, but genuinely when I saw it, I was like, fuck, if we're going to get another cleaner
and we've done something like...
Were you chatty when they were there?
No.
Were you rudely not chatty?
Well, so...
They go hi, Tony, and you go, fuck off, slut.
So I, like, because Pipp is there and because we have a gate and a front door, I said to them
after a couple of times that they'd been there, I said like, hey, like, I actually fully
trust you with PIPA, can I give you keys so that, like, you can come and we're not here?
Yep.
Because I was like, I would rather, I would rather clean without someone else there.
Like, same.
Like, if, if you, that was your job, you would rather the house is empty.
And they're like, oh, we can't keep keys.
And I was like, well, then, what do you want me to, like, leave the door open?
Like, what do you want me to do?
I mean that I can't keep keys.
Like, they don't do that.
So I guess you could leave a key out, but I don't really want to do that.
Yeah.
But anyway, so we just made it so that either Torbs or I was home.
And we would always be working in our office when they came because it was like a Wednesday.
Like, you know, so it's like a work day.
So we would just do that.
They would come and go as they pleased.
And then they would at the end, they didn't ever come up and go like, thanks.
They would just leave.
Like, it was so chill.
I think it's maybe because they don't like you.
And that's actually fine.
But like, what I want to know is if there is, if I have committed.
like a cleaning faux par
or they were like
oh it's the house is too
cluttered or too big
or we need to charge more
and they felt awkward about it
I would rather like have that conversation
so that I can change
and be like oh
I'm actually happy to do that
or we can pay more
or what I don't know whatever
you sound like a desperate ex
I can change baby
but I can
but I really can
I'm gonna guess
and again it's something that you probably could have worked out
but I reckon they've they've done a little like
little sniff test and gone I reckon we're undercharging
it smells like the market means we can charge more
and we've just signed up with this girl and we're only charging her the old rate
I reckon we clear out these low rates and go out and get some new higher ones
so I thought that too and that's why I gave and you're like just tell me the money
amount and I'll fucking do it well or I would have been like oh yeah that is too much
for me.
Thanks for them.
So fine,
but like,
thanks for bringing it up.
I'll call them.
I'll call them.
I'll be honest.
There's part of me
that doesn't want to know.
No,
because you're,
no,
the truth will hurt,
but the truth will bring closure.
I said to Toulbs,
do you think that's suss?
And he said,
yeah.
What do you mean suss?
As in,
like,
do I think that we've
either done something wrong
or,
you know what?
Maybe they've heard the pot
and they're like,
I don't,
like,
that's not my vibe
and they're just like,
fuck her off.
I don't know.
Oh, hmm.
Like maybe they're just like, we hate fun, so I don't want to do their house.
Okay.
Now you're lashing out.
I also hate fun, but I get invited back.
Sometimes.
Sometimes she's rock up and that's fine too.
Yeah.
But yeah, so.
Can I call them?
No, because I think like.
And then next week I can let you know or pretend they didn't reply us and then not tell you if it's bad.
No, I don't want that either.
Like I don't want.
I gave them an opportunity to say if there was something.
Yep.
It was their like.
You gave them the option and they have not taken that option.
And they didn't take it.
So whether they have restructured and it just doesn't fit in or we're too far north or fucking something, I don't know.
Who sent the last email?
They did.
Okay.
So the ball's back in our court.
They did saying like nothing you've done, Bull Bart and then they offered some other businesses.
you wouldn't offer another business
if we were a paining-ass client
you'd be like, I'm not fucking recommending you to do you want.
I recommend you to my competition.
They can fucking deal with that.
I don't know if you would.
I think you'd just be like,
I'm not, like, you're on your own.
If someone stopped listening to our podcast,
would you recommend some others?
Yeah.
No, I wouldn't.
No, wait.
Wait, what side are you on?
So Atapa goes,
oh, it's not really for me anymore, Tony.
Would you go, okay, well,
have you checked out Hamish Nandy or Shameless?
or psychology of your 20s or?
Probably not.
Okay.
But also because I don't know when people
stop listening because they are gone.
Like, how would I not?
Yeah.
Whereas, like, they had to break up with me.
So, like, we are not coming to your house again.
I think it should be a new rule.
If you stop listening to the body,
you have to message us.
No, I don't.
Once again, I don't want that.
But the thing is, is that like...
Hi, guys.
Just letting you know.
I gave them the opportunity
and I think I have to accept
that they've said,
it's actually, like, it just,
it is what it is.
One thing I've learned about,
I'm not disagreeing with what you're saying.
Yeah.
As in like, I should just like, I've asked.
They said no.
Like.
But one thing I do know about you and I've got to learn about you is like it's the,
the unknowing, the messiness, the unclosed chapter that will sort of like just scratch
away.
And every time you, you know, you'll go and clean something one day and go, remember them?
Yeah.
And so sometimes whether it hurts or not, just that closure and that certainty and the at least I know
can maybe close that loop.
Do you know what?
I would maybe like a bit of praise for is.
Most things.
Go ahead.
Is that like normally I would have gotten that email and be like, fuck them.
I'm never fucking.
Whereas I was like, you know what?
No, I'm going to try and use this as a learning experience.
I'll email them back.
Be like, hey, was it something?
Because it's more like if we get another cleaner.
Are we doing the same thing to that?
I just can't think of like.
What would that be?
All fucking whatever aside.
It's almost a silly question in my mind.
Because what could it be?
Yeah.
You know, like,
that we don't leave a huge turd in the fucking toilet or something.
Yeah.
Oh,
we stopped cleaning their house.
Why?
Oh,
she kept shitting on the kitchen floor and expecting us.
Like,
I can't think,
it's like,
your house is a normal house that's not fucked and it's not,
like it's just.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I just,
I'm like,
I think that in my mind,
I need to,
well,
people like,
they hate the French.
They hate the French.
Um,
People just like sleeps while they're there.
Like she's not bothered by them at all.
This is fascinating.
So I think that I'm proud of my-
I think I need the closure.
I'm proud of myself for literally being like,
hey, was there something I gave,
I put myself out there for them to be like,
yeah, you always do this and it's just not okay or whatever.
But they've gone, no, like they've taken and they've just gone,
no, it's fine.
Maybe I need to just go, okay.
But it's tough.
It's tough.
I'm not saying it's not tough.
That would be a good outcome.
But maybe that's what I need to choose.
Are you able to deep down choose that though?
Because I know the logical part of your brain is going, yep, I've got to accept.
But because it's less about the closure with them.
It's more about if we got someone new.
I'm going to always be like, oh my God.
But take a deep breath and a moment of self-aware.
Can you actually accept and move on?
Yeah, I think I can because I've already recommended them to little.
Like I was like, you know, I'm like upset about this moment.
You wouldn't do that if you were hell bitter.
You'd be like, fuck them.
You know, I genuinely, they do a really good job.
It's like two women that owner.
It's very cool.
Maybe take some details out.
Oh, there'd be a few.
You're like, it's so like.
You know, like, it's so like.
Am I going against the friendship and not being supportive if I called for my own curiosity?
I think that if I've, if I'm saying now.
Don't do it.
No, like if I'm saying now, like, if I'm saying now,
Like, I think I just need to accept that.
You need to not wing.
Because I think I, then I would be like, what did that?
Like, I think, knowing you knew something, I'd be like, so what was it?
I called them and don't worry about it.
And it's all good.
Yeah, I wouldn't think about it again.
Yeah.
I wouldn't worry about that.
Yeah.
The one specific thing they said, you don't need to worry about it.
Yeah, they just said a few things.
But it was just, we would chat about the weather and stuff.
Yeah, they were Hawks fans.
Yeah.
So, yeah, we just chat about that.
Maybe it's because you're a Channel 7 family.
Maybe they come over us on Channel 7 again
They go,
How can I know what Carl Stefanovic's up to?
Yeah, yeah, they're desperate to watch Channel 9.
Yeah, so you're calling it off?
Yeah, I think I have to.
Fuck, dude.
I'm sorry, but I am proud of you.
Thank you.
I feel like I handled it pretty well.
Yeah.
You don't get that at all.
I know the reason...
Because you went, started to go down a nasty path, but you came back.
That is fair.
Correct.
I think
And wait,
the reasons
when you said
I deserve praise
for these reasons
I agree with those reasons
Thank you
That was comedy
early on
Which I should have accepted
But at that time
I was like,
hey,
fuck you
Be my best friend right now
You look so funny
In the mascara
It's actually hard
You forgot it wasn't time
for jokes
Yeah I was like
I see what happened
You've got your face painted
Connect us
We don't have a horse photo
But we could connect
By my laptop
I know we got rid
of that cover photo
Where is the horse?
Is it in my drawer?
We need it for...
Oh no, there's just a whole box of twix.
Oh, a whole box of twix is in your drawer.
I think the horse phone might be in here.
Oh.
No, rigid this last time as well.
It's a tough with the butterball.
We've been connected by the butterball.
Is there any...
No.
We've been connected by the butterball.
We're back on.
Nah, I think I...
I think that's...
was good. That little debrief has helped. And speaking of a draw full of twixers, I've got a few
twigs up my sleeve. Because my love to see it is that you're absolutely thriving in 2020
tweaks. Thank you. You are posting such funny shit. I absolutely love it. I will be. When you
were eating that twicks and it was on your penis, I just, I lost it. I've zoomed in a lot of times.
Oh, that one, yeah. I've zoomed in a lot. Did we post the unedited version in Patreon? It's going
in Patreon soon. Yeah. Okay. Because I've, Tony seen the,
Very thank you.
Thank you.
But I do have a few twigs up my sleeve.
If you could just close your eyes for a second.
I saw this online and obviously could not refuse.
Ryan, you can open your eyes.
Happy 2020 Twix.
Oh my God.
When you say you saw it online.
Yeah.
Like that specifically.
So not with the text and not with your face.
Made Twix bar.
An enormous custom made Twix with a picture of Ryan covered in Twix and it says Ryan, happy 2020 Twix.
Took a bit of time to make because...
Is it actually full of Twix?
Yeah.
Because 2020 Twix has gone worldwide and they had a backlog at the Twix factory.
Oh my God.
That is so much Twix.
Thank you.
Isn't that again.
Actually.
Get fully fucked.
Oh, okay.
There's more packaging in it than Twix.
Oh, hang on.
There is 12 regular size twigs bars.
I thought it was one long one.
Or 12 long fingers.
But there's also these bits.
Yeah.
A lot of packaging in there.
But how fun's the box?
We've been, what's that thing?
We've shrinkflation.
Yeah.
But I thought you'd like that.
I do.
Wow.
It'd be good when I can get it back in the box.
But I mean, this is the fun part, though.
Look at that.
Ryan.
your name on it. Happy 2020 Twix.
That is incredible. And what I thought is we could cut the box up and just pop this on the wall.
Oh yeah.
Isn't that fun?
Well, I'll need to keep the Twixers.
Yeah. Can you throw me a finger?
Always. And then would you like a twig?
I just want one finger though.
Right now? Yeah, you go.
I'll just wait too after the show, I guess.
No, you go.
Do you want a finger?
Yeah, I'll go the left.
Nice.
Is it left as you're looking at it
Or left as you're looking away from it
Says the crow flies
Okay, so straight down
Do you have a, you love to set?
Yeah
Um
End of the wake in that
I've just been broken up with
You eating the twigs
With the mascara on the face
I love him
You should be lying in bed
That's your only
Naked
However you see fit
Do you like girls
I've just been broken up with us
Rebound Pattinson they call it.
Oh, and they're fucking wood too, and it's not about basketball.
Oh, fuck, that's hit.
That's the perfect temperature.
I think it's Asan, is how I pronounce the name.
Tapa in Vancouver Island.
Oh, I love you like a moon and a son.
Remember I had that poppy asan, that seat?
Oh, the Papa Sun, yeah.
I miss that guy.
Oh, yeah.
Which doesn't.
Oh, my God.
I hated the Papa Son.
I think it's the worst chair over.
I hate that that part is not attached.
Yeah.
And don't you find out about it?
Oh, yeah, you find out the hard way every time.
My husband and I started a pickleball event and tournament management company called court crushers.
Sorry, two pickleball related things from you in the one episode's a lot.
We're based on Vancouver Island and we help clubs, communities and organization host pickleball events.
Cool.
Since Ryan John started playing, we should plan a tarpa tournament in Fiji.
That's fun.
Is there a pickleball court at our hotel?
Do we know?
If not, they've got 10 months to build one.
We can make it.
I'll make one.
Break ground on that Aesap, I reckon.
Courtcrushers.C.C.A.
and court crushes pickleball on Instagram to support Tapa Asan and their husband
with the pickleball company.
What is it pickleball crashes?
Courtcrushes.
Court crushes.
Oh, oh, sick.
Hi, Asan.
Oh, that's so fun.
Oh, they all having a great time.
They're all so happy.
Look at that middle picture at the top.
Good that Craig Bruce is having a hit.
That could be ass.
We could be that happy.
That could be asked in Fiji.
I've got my own bat.
Do you reckon I could stand up paddleboard on this giant twix that you've got me?
Yeah.
1,000%.
Can I get this through customs to Fiji?
1,000%.
It's just cardboard.
What about the chocolate?
Oh, yeah.
Do you know what I would say about 2020 tricks is that I love that it's like,
eat as many twigs as possible or one a day or whatever.
But what I will say is that I'm really struggling with eating one tricks a day.
But like not more than?
I've eaten a lot of tricks.
Same.
Yeah.
I've bought a lot of twigs for making videos and they have not lasted till the video film.
That's the thing about a twix.
It doesn't last the night.
It's a rooted and booted chocolate.
Yeah, that's good.
All right.
If anyone knows any cleaners on the good side of reservoir.
That's so funny.
Send us a message.
Yeah, we'd love to hear it.
Love you so much.
Have a good weekend.
Hey, take care of my daughter.
Oh, I will.
We'll report back on Monday.
Yeah, we'll let you know.
Good luck, Charles.
Thank you.
Good luck, Charles, with my daughter.
And the girls from Hinge.
And pretty dirty house at the moment.
I can't wait for the girls to come back from Tinder and be like,

They'll be like, oh, yeah, you can.
It's suffered from the cleaners.
