Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Author, bestselling Dr. Author, Tony Lodge. And we are calling Adam, who's a primary school teacher here in Victoria. Oh, so we should clean it up a little bit. Primary school teacher. Well, hopefully he's not putting us on loudspeaker during like story time. Oh, that's a good point.

In the classroom. Yeah. And you know what? If he's doing that, that's his choice. Maybe he should try a little bit harder. I'll get you a little bit harder. Sorry. Hard to be bit harder. Sorry. Hard to be.

Hello. Adam. Oh, my God. Now, have we called you during class time? Yeah. Have you abandoned a bunch of children to take this call? Don't say that. They're on the computer.

That's fine. Yeah, give them an iPad. That's our thing. iPad generation, isn't it? My God. Adam, will them an iPad. That's our thing. iPad generation, isn't it? My God. Adam, will you approve today's podcast? Of course I will. Legend.

Hang on. And just before we get into the pod, what do your kids call you? Like Mr. what? Mr. Sturton. Because, you know, in the morning, they'll be like, Good morning, Mr. Sturton. That's eerily close. Yeah, there you go.

Can I be working on it? Okay, now we can go. Okay, we can approve the podcast? Yeah. I will approve the podcast. It's Adam from Victoria and I approve this podcast. Ladies and gentlemen, after years of denial, Tony Lodge has been to Hollywood. Not denial.

I wasn't denying I'd been here. Well, you were. What? I mean, it was a truthful'd been here. Well, you were. What? I mean, it was a truthful denial, but, like, you... What? Was it not a denial? No, because denial is, like, something that's true that you're, like, faking is not. I didn't know.

It's, like, denying the truth is, like, deny. I thought it just meant saying no. Well, you can decline. Isn't denial the same as decline? No, because denial is like a river. I was like, who's going to go there first? Nah, that's why it doesn't mean the same thing. What I meant to say is Tony has not been in Hollywood all this time.

I've never been. never been to Hollywood. I think the first time it ever came up. And I'm just going to share this because it is so funny. We were on an exclude like Patreon only episode. Yeah. And it was when we didn't do five episodes a week when we did one in Patreon for a while. Each week or every fortnight or something. And Ryan, you said, you know how in hollywood

and i went no i haven't been and you went i mean like in movies and that's why you know how movies it's like a main character and a love interest i've never been there yeah but ryan's like you know how in holly like hollywood and i was like i've never been and now so finally i've been to hollywood yeah how thrilling how thrilling how thrilling um i did a live stream in patreon the other day shared to people um the trader joe's i shared the trader joe's but just hollywood chat when people think hollywood do you reckon they're like oh trader joe's absolutely not yeah i don't i la maybe like because it's only in california isn't Absolutely not. Yeah. LA, maybe. Because it's only in California, isn't it?

Or only in LA? Trader Joe's. Or is it everywhere in America? I think it's everywhere. Oh, is it? Oh, I haven't seen one before now. Oh, sorry. Well, I liked it. I'm going to tell you something about the Hollywood sign.

Because is that the most iconic thing in LA, right? Well, so I thought it was. And then, like, at all the meet and greets across the Americas that we've done, everyone was like, oh, like, you haven't been to Hollywood yet. Oh, the sign, really disappointing. Like, that is something that everybody has said to me. And I was like, oh, well, surely it's the thing. You, like, go and get a selfie or you, like. You know how we spoke on Monday about Tony, like, getting excited

and then, like, when the reality starts setting, maybe it sort of. Yeah. I'm an enthusiastic girl. I'm trying to let myself be more enthusiastic, but I'm about to have my dream shut down, I think. I thought you were saying you were too enthusiastic and you wanted to change. No, no, no. I've been trying to be

less enthusiastic because I feel like people think I'm dumb. Like when I'm like, oh, I'm so excited about this and people are like, it's like lame to be excited about stuff. So, I'm trying to like unlearn that. I don't think you should unlearn that. And who are these people? I should unlearn. Not when you're like, I'm trying to be not excited. I'm like, no, be excited. No, I'm saying over the years, the last little while, I have been that way because I've been like, oh, I don't want people to think that I'm like silly. But now I'm like, no, I just want to be excited about stuff.

Yeah. Life's too fucking short to not be excited. Yeah, 100%. So, we'll get to that soon. First, though, we didn't mean to laugh that we were on a flight and it was the flight attendant's first day a few weeks back. And we thought in solidarity. That's not my strong suit, that word.

It fucks me. Or deny. No, it's fine. I'm in denial. In solidarity. You look wet. Excuse me. Don't just crack yourself up.

Sorry. And I've got a bit of a, a bit of a cough and I just can't stop. Solidarity. Beautiful. Some tapas have shared their first day experiences. Actually, another Ryan has messaged and he was the customer as well.

And it was the person at the hardware store's first day at the checkout. Oh. And so, he went to the hardware store and got a bucket. And then, like, in the bucket was, like, an end of a hose piece, a bit of this to do the garden, like, full of hardware stuff. So, he used the bucket he was purchasing. No, he was also purchasing the- No, no, no. As a basket.

As a basket, yeah. Okay, so don't fucking cut me off. I'll fucking go back to the Nile and bloody drown you. It's my first day. It's my first day. I'm only nine. I'm nine years old. It's my first day.

So the person on their first day was like, oh, it's my first day, blah, blah, blah. Just scan the bucket. Do you say anything? Snap decision, gun to your head. No. You don't say anything? No., gun to your head. No. You don't say anything? No. Oh, I do.

I would. Okay, so here's what Ryan did. He didn't really notice because they're now doing a bit of chit-chat. He gets home and goes, how was all that stuff 75 cents? Yeah. So I called them back. Oh, that's nice. I said, here's the receipt number.

I'm fairly sure they've just scanned the bucket. What do I owe you? Yeah. And of course, the person answering the phone, it's not their hardware store. They just fucking work there. You've already left. Get over it. So they just went, don't worry about it, man.

Just have the stuff. Like, it's more hassle than it's worth yeah and that guy goes i'm on lunch in five minutes i don't give a i really like i could not care less what like that you'd walked away with a hose piece and a bloody you know packet of ranunculus seeds you know like what's that guy gonna do i've been googling ranunculus. What's a ranunculus? You know those, I'll show you, those flowers. Regret asking. What?

Don't be a dick. Ranunculus. Ranunculus. These ones are really pretty. They are great. Yeah. Aren't they beautiful? They are great Anyway

Where are they going in the new house? Don't know And I don't know if I can plant them in Melbourne Like I don't know if it's like too cold Yeah no good question Or whatever Yeah so I'm trying to do a bit of research Yeah

Flower guy Anyway Would you have said something? Totally I would have said it at the checkout though I would have been like Oh sorry I think I've got a few more things in there Well he didn't realise until later though

No and I think if I'd gotten home I'd probably go Yeah I've got away with it Well I just I would think like they're about to They don't care I didn't do it on purpose and then if someone ever called me I'd be like oh well I didn't steal it

I put like check check the tape. They're in the bucket, mate. Yeah. Colleen. Hi, Colleen. Got a job as like a hostess or a waitress when she was 15 years old and it was her job to like sit people down and tell them what the specials of the day was. Yeah, great.

The kitchen told me the soup of the day was split pea. I went to the table and said, hello, sir. Today's soup of the day is spit pea. Spit pee. I went to the table and said, hello, sir. Today's soup of the day is spit pee. Spit pee. Oh. This old guy looked at me in confusion and going, are you sure about that? And I love the self-awareness of Colleen going, and my 15-year-old self, very sure of herself, just goes, nope, that's what it is.

And proceeded to tell everyone in the restaurant that day that it was- Spit pee. Spit pee was the soup. Oh, and because I probably wouldn't have even restaurant that day that it was- Spit pea. Spit pea was the soup. Oh, and because I probably wouldn't have even heard that word when I was 15. Like, I wouldn't even know what a split pea was. I know now because Torbs makes fucking pan ham soup. How old is Torbs? He makes it every, like, whenever it's winter, and I fucking hate it.

Fuck, that sounds grim. It sounds old. Is he 85? The worst thing about soup is that you can't make it for one So then you eat soup for eight days And you go, for fuck's sake, I can't eat any more of this salty shit Should we do burgers tonight? Actually, we've still got some soup

Still got some of that soup And you go, fuck But that's what I do I go, oh, cool, what's for dinner? He goes, some of that soup, sweetie And I go, oh, cool. What's for dinner? He goes, some of that soup, sweetie. And I go, awesome. I start to cry. I've sat down at the couch and pretended to eat it and then go, oh, gosh, all done.

And then tipped it in the sink. Yeah. I just can't eat it anymore. Yeah. I reckon when Torbs is out of the house or in the bathroom, you should just get a mug into the bowl and just like- Yeah, and just start ladling it out. Fuck. it's-

Oh, there's not quite enough for a whole meal. You might have to get burgers instead. Yeah. And sometimes when I crack the shit, it's like when we get to like halfway down the thing, we've eaten it for three days. I go, I can't eat that. He goes, well, then you can make yourself something, but I'm going to have the soup and then I just have to eat toast.

But then I feel really guilty, so I have some soup and then I go- What's he make? Pea and ham? Pea and ham. All right. feel really guilty so i have some assume they're what's he made peon ham all right can anyone let us know in today's episode thread there's two questions are you under the age of 70 and do you enjoy peon ham soup because i've never heard of someone who's a boomer or under boomer make that that's an old person's soup and i've known tobs for 10 years and it's not as if like, oh, just recently he went, oh, wouldn't a soup be nice? He's like a soup guy.

So. I don't like eating the same thing a lot of times. So, I'm not a soup person because soup equals eating it for days. Well, I think you guys just need to have a chat about your volumes and ratios because it seems like you guys are out of whack. No, the thing is, is that because you buy fucking ham hock? Yeah. Just go and get a couple of slices from the deli and just flop it in.

No, but it's not the same thing. Because that just is for a sandwich. Like, you can't put that in a fucking pot of spit ham, spit pea. Can't you, though? Nah. And then, oh, it's just a whole fucking thing. It's like a fucking production line. So, let me get this straight.

You're about to turn 30. Literally about to. You've been banging tobs for- 10 years. 10 years. Yeah. So, as a 20-year-old- 19 when we started doing it.

So, as a- Fuck. So, a 19-year-old gets served up pea and ham soup and you kept banging this guy? I mean, real early days, I don't think we had the money for pea and ham soup. Fuck that is. Bit of meagering, maybe, but very early days. Are you saying you've upgraded to pea and ham soup? I just don't like that when you have soup, you have to eat it for days and days and days.

You don't if you cook the right amount. I can't be more. No, the thing is have to eat it for days and days and days. You don't if you cook the right amount. I can't be more. No, the thing is, though, it's the same with pumpkin soup. You buy a whole pumpkin. No, you buy a half or a quarter. But it's still a lot because you don't eat a lot of soup. I also just am not into soup because I don't like drinking my dinner. It just is so upsetting to me.

It's not real. It's an entree. Yeah. It's like I have soup so that I can just eat a loaf of bread. I'd rather just eat a loaf of bread. You know, you dip bread in soup. Just give me the bread, dog. Fuck off.

Sorry. Last week, you got on my case about when I said I sometimes just want to eat barbecue sauce and need something for the vessel. Oh, yeah. I feel like this is similar energy when you're like, oh, we'll have pumpkin soup because I just want to eat crunchy bread. Because I'll just eat the bread. But it's just like, of two shit options, bread, soup, I'd rather just eat the bread. What's going to beat bread? Nothing. That's what I mean. Yeah, when you have two shit options,

excuse me. Oh, but like, you're sitting down and you go, well, I've either got to eat this fucking salty nightmare or I sound very ungrateful, but I just don't like peahen hand soup. I'd rather eat the spit pee. You know what I mean? Like, it's just awful. Anyway, next one. Stephen said, my first job, I was a cashier at a retail store.

Yep. Did my first week of training and then the supervisor left me like at the checkout for the first time and goes, seriously, you need anything? Just like push that button and like call me over to the thing. You don't hear that as often anymore, do you? You don't. And also every job I've ever had, people go, oh, if you need anything, press this button, call this number, whatever, and I'll be over in a flash. They never are.

About two people came through the checkout and I was like, fuck, I don't know how to do this thing. So I pushed down on the button and. Oh, no. In real time, says steven forgot the supervisor's name so the entire store heard me go um jenny jane uh jerome jeremy james fuck um kathy bates she runs kathy bates She runs in. Kathy Bates. Kathy Bates. Kathy Bates priced these dates. Nice. And it was just really obvious that he didn't know the name. Didn't know the name.

Two minutes later, my supervisor, Jennifer, came to my cash register with a look on her face. I was not fired, but I was advised to not let that happen again. On your first day as well. It's like, I've got a name tag. It's literally right there. You've been staring at it all day. You've been staring at it all day. She wasn't standing right there though when he needed it. And you know, stage fright, you're on that big microphone. You know? Wouldn't you just like... Supervisor to the fright. Yeah. My first job

ever was like working at an IGA. And when you first start, they put you on the 10 items or less checkout so that it's not, like, big shops that you're doing. Yeah. But in Australia, I don't know if it's the same everywhere, but in Australia, if you're on the 10 items or less checkout, that's, like, where the C's are. Yeah.

And then people are calling you from the other side. Yeah, yeah. And because people are like, oh, hang on, that's where all the stuff is. Or, you know, the saffron, you know, the expensive stuff. Anyway, and I was- Hide the good rice under the locked counter. Yeah, exactly. Saffron's not rice.

It's a- Saffron rice. No, it's an herb. But it's an herb that you put into rice to make it- To make saffron rice. Yeah. Oh, so saffron plus rice equals saffron rice. Okay, well-

Wow, maths. Did you know in Australia they're putting manuka honey in a locked box? I'm not surprised. It's like $100. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I was on the front counter and there was these like scary older boys, like older than me but not old.

Yeah. That came in and are like, oh, well, she's not going to say anything. And they're like, give us some cigarettes. Yeah. Like we want X, Y, Z and she's not going to say anything. And they're like, give us some cigarettes. Like, we want X, Y, Z. And I just, like, gave them to them. But they paid. But I just, like, didn't ask for it. I was too scared.

They, like, fully intimidated me. And then the boss came over and was like, well, Tony, do you think they were 18? And I was like, I don't know. And he was like, well, they weren't because you go to school with them. And you know. They're in your biology class. Yeah, because you were born in the same hospital next to each other.

Isn't that a rule like if you look under 30? Under 25, I think it is. But also, I'm a 15-year-old kid. As if I'm going to ask like a scary looking person for their ID. Isn't that pretty? Isn't that like your job? Well, they just look like they look. Thank you.

Social pressure. Social pressure. Social pressure. They shouldn't have- I would have thought someone checking your ID themselves would have to be of age. Yeah, so I found that out after. You can't actually sell cigarettes if you can't buy them. That's what I was thinking.

You shouldn't have been on that team. Shout out to the team at IGA. I mean, SmyGA. SmyGA. So, was that before- Did you get, like, promoted to the deli or was that a different- Oh, no, that was a different- Okay.

So, that was when I was at school. And then when I was at uni, then I started working at Coles in the Deli. was that a different? Oh, no, that was a different. So that was when I was at school and then when I was at uni then I started working at Coles in the Deli. Shout out. Hey, it's Adam from Victoria and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. A massive shout-out to a few of our champion typers over at our Patreon. That's Champion Typers, Tony and Ryan Podcast. Janine Oxlund.

Good on you, Janine. Thank you. Michael Jaggers. James A. Jarrett. Sorry, did you say Michael? Michael Jaggers. Mick Jaggers. Are you joking me? Oh, my God.

First Heidi Montag, now this. Nicholas Bickerton, Nicky Bicky, good on you. CJ Groves and Brenda Martinez. Thanks, Brenda. Love you. See you at Christmas. Not actually. I don't know Brenda personally, but.

So, we assume that the Hollywood sign, and I still think it is, something that you want to get a photo with. It's the ultimate Hollywood thing. 100%. I saw it on the drive to the studio, like in the distance. Wow. It was beautiful. But, Tony, you recently learned that you can't just like turn up.

You need to like hike up. Yeah, it's like not just a thing. It's like a thing. Yeah. It's like an activity. And you don't like that? No, I hate activities. Yeah.

Otherwise, I'd have a real job. If I liked doing stuff, I would do it. I just want to like add to the list of like how much you really don't want to fucking do this. Okay, great. So, you have to walk up there. So, you're already like, no. From where you start the hike, there's no parking.

Well, see ya. Yeah. See ya, Hollywood sign. That's why no one's seen a photo of me with the Hollywood sign because I refuse. So, it's like a street where people, like a residential street, and because of all the tourists wanting to do the sign, they've had to put, like, residents only.

So, you have to, like, get dropped off there. Like, if you want to go, you can't, like, drive there. Yeah, you can't drive there. And because apparently there's a- Can I just say, though, fucking fair enough, can you imagine if you lived on that street? The houses there are probably worth, like, $8 million. They're probably the ones that they sell on Selling Sunset.

Yep. You would be so pissed off. Imagine you walk out and you get into your Porsche Cayenne and there's, like, a fucking Toyota Corolla or a RAV4 that like a tourist has hired and it's in your way and you can't put the bins out and like what about though you know where you bought it like if you don't want people coming through the street don't be at the end of the path of the Hollywood sign one thing that's happened in Melbourne over the last 10 years is someone will

move next door to a pub and a music venue. Oh, yeah. And then complain about the noise and go, mate, did you have a look around when you bought the place? That is a very good point. There is, however, there's a turf war, dare I say it, a brouhaha, and it's like residents versus tourists and the residents are getting the big-

Sorry, I've got crazy anxiety because your arm is right next to an open water bottle. And you just kind of slid over. And I was like, that's about to take a dive. And I'm just looking out for you, mate. And your laptop and all this expensive stuff. There's a lot of expensive stuff in the studio. There was a big sign that said no food or drink in the studio. And I've eaten a cheese stick yesterday.

Cheese stick, Diet Coke. You've got an iced coffee and a bottle of water. I've actually got eight drinks on the go right now. You really do. Why do you- How did that happen? I've got- Oh, that's not good. You've got an iced coffee and a bottle of water. I've actually got eight drinks on the go right now. You really do. How did that happen? I've got- Oh, that's not good. You are triple parked. I actually am triple parked.

And cheese parked. Cheese parked. So, every day I walk in, there's all these cheese sticks. Who dropped them? Some cheese stick bandit. I keep eating them. Then the next day, I come back and they've been replenished. It's like my dream.

My dreams have come true they really have so the residents have made these signs that say like private property do not enter no access turn around so the residents have put that up or like the council the residents are just gonna i would put some signs up do you remember at your um old house when there was all that construction going on. And they put up, like, the fucking construction people, like, made a sign. And were like, you can't park here. And I was like, well, no, that's not it, actually.

Yeah. Because remember, I retaliated with that sign. No parking, the signs say, and we will take photos of offending drivers and post them in online forums and Facebook groups to shame them publicly. Boosting listens for the pod, though. If I got taken a photo of, people go, I recognise her. Now, one of the main ways when you do get, you must have to get dropped off down the street around the corner.

You can't park, so you've got to get an Uber there. And then how do you get an Uber back? Because you're in the middle of the hills nowhere. Who fucking knows? You kind of have to cut through this part on the hike, which kind of looks like a private property. it's like the front of a private property but you kind of like cut across the front which is apparently legal but it kind of feels like you're walking up this guy's driveway yeah on that thing now again because of the turf war they go oh this

feels a bit dodgy we'll put up our own sign and says, private property, do not enter. But in the blogs that Cam and I read when, you know, months ago when we considered that this is something you might want to do, it's basically- And correctly, I didn't. So, good job. The blog literally goes, so, you'll see some signs that are like, private property, do not enter.

Ignore those and just go through it up to the left. Well, what's a sign for then? Literally, what's a sign for then? Literally, what's a sign for then? If you can do it or you can't do it, surely- Oh, but anyone can just print a sign and put it someplace. Yeah, but anybody can say don't listen to a sign. Like, I think that both sides have, like, as much authority as each other. Like, me printing a sign saying don't do this and then someone just saying you can,

they just cancel each other out because it's just two people saying stuff and putting up a sign. But if the council says and the law says it's fine, then surely that's like final say. But our blog is not the government. Oh, but they're saying they're not official signs. You are allowed to go. The law says all good. But if I'd put up a sign at my house being like, hey, don't park in my drive- It's my driveway or don't park across my driveway or whatever.

Yeah. Yeah, it's just a person putting up a sign. But that's still my property. Yeah, but the law would back you up and say, yes, you can't park it. But this is kind of just like close to the property. It feels like private property, but it's not private property. Oh, I see. Like there's a little walkway that kind of curls around the side and then you have

to go up and around. But what I'm imagining is you seeing that sign and me going, oh, good, mate. They're just doing that to deter you. I wouldn't because I would hate to walk on someone's property. And they've written a sign. I respect signs. I respect authority. I never do the wrong thing. So, yeah. Oh, what a shame. Can't do the hike. Unfortunately, there was a sign there. Unfortunately, can't do it. Such a shame. I'll tell you what's really funny. When we read about all of this. I'm so sad. Oh, no.

I'll have to have another cheese stick. When we read about all this, I was like, oh, this might throw Tony. She's going to be devastated. When we read about all this, I was like, oh, this might throw Tony. She's going to be devastated. And before you knew all that, you went, walk. Now I'm out. See ya. And I was like, oh, she's probably not going to give a fuck about the rest of this stuff. You know what?

I'll just get an Uber to drive down the street. I'll take a quick selfie from the bottom. Hope it's all good. See you later. Take off. Not getting out of the car. Or, you know, I'll just Google it. I can see it on Google.

I can Photoshop it in. Photoshop it in. In the episode thread, there's going to be a picture and you can decide whether you think it's real or Photoshopped. Well, how close do you need to be for a selfie? Because, I mean, you were at the Statue of Liberty that we took. No, well, I wasn't there, unfortunately. You had a selfie with the Statue of Liberty.

Oh, but hypothetically, if we were in the area, it was so far away and so small. It was literally, like, the photos that I'd seen from other people, I was like, it looks massive, but you have to go on a boat to do that. Yeah. Who's got the money for a boat? Yeah. Sorry, I'm not a fucking rich person. Yeah.

I don't hire on a boat. And the one that you, like, pay to go on, I reckon it was a 60-person boat that seemed to have 4,000 people on it. Did you see them just crammed in like sardines? It was like the fucking safety boats at the end of Titanic. That's how many people they were getting on there. No, they could have got more of those safety boats. Oh, yeah, true.

And the doors as well. Yeah. I mean, that's the whole thing. But, yeah, that looks really dicey. Like even if I'd paid for it, I wouldn't have gotten on there. I've got a bit of- It was COVID town. Yeah. Oh, I didn't even think of COVID town.'ve got a bit of- It was COVID town. Yeah.

Oh, I didn't even think of COVID town. I just thought of, I get a bit like claustrophobic, like crowds- And being on a boat as well. So in Toronto, I went to Niagara Falls with producer Cam and you were like, oh, I'm not really like feeling great. I think I need a- I need a day. You had some admin to do and you're like, we've got another meet and greet.

Like, I just need a bit of time. And I was like, great, all good. I'm glad you didn't go because it was a bit like that on that boat too. Really? Yeah, a lot of people. And everybody's just trying to get the best photo. Yeah. So, like, everyone's, like, jumping in front of you to try and, like,

get their thing. We guys did a good job then because it didn't look crowded where you got those shots. Elbows were up. I fucking elbowed a couple of bitches out of the way and then i'm like recording my scene for the tiktok yeah and i would get into character and um yeah there were people just like and i was like babe comedy get over it i hit her in the face i've got a you love to see it

and it's it's good we're all going to love it food trucks not a really big thing in Australia growing but not quite there growing but you kind of go to like a food truck

festival you kind of go somewhere and there's like a food truck rumble, you know, is a thing that like they do. In America and like I've seen it a lot like in LA, food trucks, random places, and it's always you kind of go, wouldn't mind a little nosh, food truck. Bang, nosh.
