No one knows more than me that there's a fridge in my living room. Just walking him yesterday. We're not talking about it. I go, hey, what's that? We're not talking about it. Okay. I know that we aren't talking about it, but with the fridge. Oh, so you're allowed to talk about it?

I'm sick of being told I can't talk about it. And then you're allowed to talk about it. Let's do a normal on now. A tarpa or Alyssa has a normal or now. Do we need to talk about the fridge? I think the thing. I'm Rebecca from Alan Washington, USA. I'm Daniel from Perth.

Australia. This is Jessica from Dallas, North Carolina, and I improve this podcast. Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. This is Tony Lodge, Captain of the Ship, Muscle, CEO, Bird in Charge. My name is Ryan, Vice Captain of the Ship. Welcome to Tony's house. And are we going to jinx it by saying, not probably the last time from Tony's house because her foot's on the mend and we may be back

in the studio on Monday yeah we're going to try you sound a lot more enthusiastic last time yeah oh wow I think I'm just like I don't want to get myself too excited like it's what I don't want to get my hopes up about it because I'm like really like not that having you guys here is a bad thing i'm just i'm excited to like get back into a routine yeah because at the moment i like don't get to leave the house really very much because i've been on the mend and are we allowed to talk about it yet is one of the reasons you want to get it out of the house because there's a random fridge in your lounge room or we still not talking about it's coming can you imagine imagine this all right someone says to you can we not talk about the fridge and then you do but it's like

Imagine that. It's in my eye line. Oh, it's in my life. Yeah, yep, yep. Do you know what I mean? No, I do. Like, you know when someone goes like, oh, that's loud, isn't it? And like, no one knows more than you.

No one knows more than me that there's a fridge in my living room. Just walking him yesterday. We're not talking about it. I go, hey, what's that? We're not talking about it. Okay. Because. But maybe that's why we're off.

Maybe. The fridge is throwing the energy up. Do you know what? Right now on the screen, there's going to be a little bit of footage. and it's of the fridge. Okay. In the fucking lounge room. We're going to,

you're going to say that if you're watching on YouTube. As someone who currently has a Stranger Things freezer in his doorway, I actually get it because I'm off. It's, it's fucking me up. Yeah.

Yeah. But good news on that front coming. Great. Yeah. Great. Let's do normal or nah. Let's do normal or no. Normal nah.

We decide whether something is normal or nah. Yeah. Normal or no. When someone says, we're not talking about it, You start talking about it, then regret it or normal. Nah. Now, I don't know if this is a hack.

I like when a normal or nah is like, nah, but I might take that up in the future. This is from Tapa Rainbow Leachie. Hi, Rainbow Leachie. I bought a toaster. Say. Yeah, normal.

I unboxed it in the car park, chucked the packaging. in the bin of the store and just drove off. No. She said, not normal, a smart life hack or total dick move. Because then what happens? You take it home,

you unbox it. The box sits there for fucking ages. Then you've got to deal with that and you go, no. Cop that box back, bitch. So true. But, okay, devil's avocado. You get home,

you've already thrown the box out, whatever. You get home the toast. doesn't work or we keep the receipt no but like when you return stuff it has to like be in the box no i've never returned yeah as someone who's planned to return things thank you uh you should know does the fridge look like it's in a box no i can't return it i know we're not talking about it, but I, is that the new one or is that the old one? It looks familiar. It's the old one. Okay. That's the old one. Okay. Great. Great.

I'm going to say nah for unboxing in the car park because I think that getting something new is really fun. Yep. And I want to bring a home to like, ah, you know. Can we all agree, though, the boxes piling up at home is a pain in the art? And bin, chat. You can't get rid of them all because the bins, you know, perpetually full. Yeah. And then it's like, oh no, next week I'll do those ones. And then the week after that, I'll do those ones. But then in that meantime, you've got new shit coming in.

I know that we aren't talking about it, but with the fridge. Oh, so you're allowed to talk about it. It's my fucking fridge. With the fridge, you go, well, that's going to take five weeks. Not even five weeks because my bin comes fortnightly, five rounds of the bin. 10 weeks You imagine that That's three fucking months

That's longer than I've had a broken foot To put that into the top timeline How long has your foot been broken in dog years So true Over two months So that would be a dog year What's that? A year

Feels out five And in dog years, what's that? Five times seven, 30. 30 years I've had a broken foot. Charles, do we have an answer for that? Yeah, I didn't even know what you. That was far as math for me, though. One year, approximately.

Well, that's what Ryan said. Yeah. Thanks, Lil. Fast than Google. According to Google. Thanks for going down today. It says about 2.5 dog years. Oh.

That's half an Olympic cycle. Okay, Tapa, Alyssa has a normal or now. Do we need to talk about the fridge? I think the thing, the fridge is sucking all the air out. Yeah, it is. Can we just get too normal? It's creating a divide. I've just got a really great story about it coming.

Why don't you tell me about the fridge and then we'll get to these after? Oh, but this is really good. Okay. Go back to it. I just, I'm sick of being told I can't talk about it and then you're allowed to talk about it. It's my fridge and it's my fridge and it's my. story. I said you had to wait. Okay, basically, the thing is, is that I, do you remember ages ago, we talked about maybe getting a zip tap? Oh, years ago. We wanted,

a tapa worked at zip, big zip. Yeah, because we wanted Tapa Zoe, we wanted cold water on demand because we don't have one of those fridges that has the like, yeah, bling, and hot water on demand and sparkling. Yeah, but that ended up being really crazy, fucking expensive like like like not available to regular people yeah um and so anyway we've just been living with our fridge which actually functions perfectly yep um but i really really really love cold water and i love ice yeah and so i've been lusting about the thought of getting a fridge that makes ice and cold water and so i thought like you know what I'm going to talk to Torbs about this

but having a conversation with someone played out, boring, they see it coming. Do you know what I mean? So I made a pitch deck to get a new fridge. And I'm going to, I don't know how we're going to figure this out for the video show, but here is my Let's Get Cool, Pitch Deck for New Fridge. Let's cast our mind back a few weeks

when I believe you just told us that you'd planned a hen's a baby shower for someone that you've never really met before yeah and who lives on the other side of australia yeah and you said i've just got all this spare time and i said well if you've got spare time that's not what i said i didn't say i had spare time i said that i was couch bound there wasn't a lot i could do couch bound that i could you know this i did in about 10 minutes like um for those playing along at home the fridge is animated it looks like a ice block the ice block is animated do you want to play or not you're being very negative No, I'm just, I'm impressed.

Okay, ready? Whoa. Shit. Was that a transition? Oh, yeah. Hey, Tony. Don't we already have a fridge? Yeah.

Whoa. But don't you want automatic ice? Don't you want automatic cold water? Don't you want flexible water? storage? How flexible is the storage? And wouldn't you rather have more fun? Wow, the Westinghouse

609 litre French door fridge. Look at all those things that it does. And that's the fridge there. The fridging question, the new fridging question. Yep. With a 4.6 star review from over. How many reviews? 140 reviews. Over 140 reviews.

If it doesn't have more than 40 reviews, we don't take that average on this show. No, you can't. Wow. Oh, so it's the double banger. Yeah. Hmm. Why that be pretty expensive? Hang on, I think what I'm confused about in the presentation is who's talking.

And so is this you're preempting his questions? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, this is a pitch deck. Yeah, but usually you're pitching to someone. Yeah, no. It's like he's pitching at you to not get it. No, no, no. I'm saying, I'm, if you work through it and if you really listen,

I'm saying like, but don't you want these things? Yeah, it has it. Yeah. And, hmm, won't it be more expensive? Well, pretty expensive. $3,299 for a fridge. No. Oh, a red cross has appeared.

Whoa, $2,900. including delivery where they take the rubbish away. What? Wow. Who can enjoy this? Me, you and Pipa. This is for Torps. Yeah.

Wow. Look at Pippa holding that glass of eyes. It's got ice in there. So sharks. So this is. Like at the end of Shark Tank, I'll ask for that. So, hang on.

Are there sharks in the automatic water dispenser? No, but this is me saying Shark Tank, like, so sharks, like, will you give me the money for the money? Oh, and did he pay out? Yeah. So we got a new fridge. First of all, I'm very impressed by the PowerPoint presentation. Thank you so much.

Let me never doubt, hang on. As someone who's been doing the graphics for the Tony and Ryan podcast, for the last four years. Yeah. You've been pretty fucking quiet about your skills, actually. I didn't know that that was possible, but look at, look at me guys. With 15 minutes on Google Sheets, you would not believe what's possible. Oh, she's a freak in the sheets, guys.

Don't worry about that. Freaking the Google Sheets. So, I actually did a bunch of comparisons. I was like, oh, this is what I want. This is the dimensions and whatever. Yeah. Because I was like, I don't just want to be like, should we get a fridge? And Torbs literally would have been like, oh, yeah, like, what do you want to get?

Yeah. Like, and it's not as if he would have been like, well, no. Like, and because our fridge is in, like, really good condition. We're able to sell it. So, you know what I mean. Like, it's all coming together. But I was like, I'm going to do some comparisons. So rather than just being like, oh, should we go to fridge?

Yeah, and nothing really happens. I'm like, we could get this one. It's on sale. Yep. We can get the delivery. They're going to drop it off, take away all the rubbish. They're taking away the rubbish, as previously discussed is huge. Mm-hmm.

And then, so while I was going through all these types of fridges, obviously I read the reviews, I'm a review reader. And then I just want to share the review that really sealed the deal for me. Five stars out of five, and the headline is, awesome features. The feature I love most about this product is it has plenty of room that you can put full pizza boxes. they see when they measure the size of a fridge in liters i don't really know what that means when am i going to fill it with water but but it's like oh this one's 600 liters that's one 700 i don't really know what that means if you talk to me in pizza box sizes i'm fucking there with you

that's the new unit of measurement in fridges as far as i'm concerned and that's what i thought you can put pizza boxes and they're full pizza boxes like you don't have to put it into a tapware container full pizza box love that not only that but the middle draw You can chill lots of bottles of wine. That'd be great because Tony is a wine mum. Well, no, it was more just like, I've read that review and I go, well, I can trust that person. Yeah, she's used it in real life. Because the first time they've used that fridge, they've gone, well, look how much wine and pizza it holds.

Where are they up? They sound like a friend that they could be a friend of ours. Yeah, Renee, if you're listening. Come on over, don't. Let us know. Put a Savvy Blanc and a margarita on there. and off we go. Okay.

I meant my pizza, but that's how in the back of the drink. Yeah, I was like, when would you have a savvy bee and a margarita at the same time? You freak. Yeah, fair.

But, well, so I was reading all these reviews and I was like, that has sealed it for me. I wanted to know if anybody had ever read a review and been like,

I trust them. Like, what was the best review that you, when you were searching for something and people have used it in the exact same way that you're looking to use it?

Because I thought, when was the last time you fit a whole pizza box in a fridge. That's amazing. So I was on this website that does, like, jeans and chinos for, like, guys with bigger butts. Yep. And this one guy writes, these jeans actually fucking fit.

Thank fuck for that. And I went, I can trust that. Yeah. Yeah, because every website's like, oh, the jeans fit. And I'm like, yeah, but I'm going to put my thighs in them and then not. Yeah. And this guy was like, I've got bigger thighs. and it fucking fits.

And I was like, this guy gets it. Yeah. He's been in the struggles as well and he gets it. Or when you read a review and someone goes, yep, just unpacked them, haven't tried them on yet, but look good. I go, that's not a review. No. It arriving is not the review.

I'm not asking if the fucking postage worked. I'm asking whether they fit you and whether it was good or whether the fridge fucking turned on. That's probably, you know. Now, how long are you going to have that fridge before you leave your official review. That's a great question. Because as you've mentioned...

I could leave a great review right now. I'm already incredibly impressed, but yeah, I think it's too soon. I think it's too soon. But what can we test it out with? It's being tested pretty hard on the moment. But like what's a unit of met like fits a whole turkey? Oh, that's good. We have to wait for Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Yeah. Actually, I imagine this for a fridge review. Had family Christmas at my house. And held everything it needed to. That's good. You'd go, oh, meat, give me my money, yeah. Vegetables, drinks, salads. Anti-pasteo things.

Oh. For your little cheeseboard. Yeah. Wait till Christmas, though. Yeah, wait till Christmas. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah, okay. So we got the new fridge. Yeah. So where we are? And then we sold the old fridge. Sick. And got ghosted by two separate people. so the plan was obviously that all of this would be done and dusted on the weekend or you know

then they push it back and they go no maybe not not then the fridge doesn't come so that you know all of that then we get ghosted on Facebook Michael place about the fridge so I currently have our old fridge in the doorway which also happens to be the lounge room and the kitchen and the living room and thus the frustration of okay and me being like can we not talk about the fridge because I've got a really funny thing to tell you and that has fucked my punchline because I want to tell you about the fridge I thought we weren't talking about it because something was like wrong with it no I wanted to tell you because I was excited about the fridge so is it still up for sale yes a lovely Isato 510 litre fridge now

If any of you guys are interested in a new fridge, you just send me, you send me a message. It's a new tier. Yeah, so back to Norm Lawna in the studio. Oh, actually, I've actually got an apology first. Yeah.

This girl I went to school with Danny. I think she's the year below me or maybe a few years below me. Sort of like, our school was weird where everyone was kind of an acquaintance. Yeah. It wasn't like you were friends or you're not friends. Yeah. But like, I knew Danny. You knew everyone and stuff.

Yeah. I haven't seen her for probably since high school. Yeah. Like a long time. Yeah. Well, you moved around heaps and troubled. Yeah. And so Mabel and I went to grill.

Oh, which day. And Mabel loves going on the slide. Did I have a playground at grilled? I had the one in Eltham, yeah. Do they actually? Yeah. That's awesome. It's carnage because there's kids everywhere and it's like, it's going off. And so Mabel's, you know, they kind of make friends with it because Mabel's real little, like, when they're like slightly older girl goes, oh, like, do you want me to take you up on the big slide?

It's like, that's cute. So adorable. And it turns out one of the. lovely girls helping Mabel was like Danny's daughter. What? Yeah, so I'm walking back to like our food's ready. So I'm walking back to the table and I see Danny there. And I was like, oh, fuck, that's, that's Danny.

I haven't seen her for fucking 20 years. Yeah. And so I'm just walking past. I was like, oh, good-day, Danny, how you go? And as I said that, she'd just taken the biggest bite of a grilled burger. And because I was just doing it. Like, goody, man, how you go? Yeah.

And then she's like a bit of a drive by. I didn't start. And she just got, and then I just and I wasn't too late and I was like I've really done her dirty there she's going to be like oh but then I was I was saying to bridge like I felt really bad and she goes it would have been more awkward if you like stood there and waited for it watch her chew yeah and so I was like I don't know which was worse but I just that's actually on me Danny I was going to put my hand off and I was like good to see her um your daughter

beautiful and thanks for helping Mabel and I'm sorry that I fucking did you dirty there so yeah That's nice, a public apology. Yeah. So it's good. If you didn't embarrass her enough when you did it, now everyone knows. Yeah, but it's my fault. It's my fault.

Alyssa, you know, like, what's that thing where you, like it's an inside thought or like a compulsive. Like intrusive thought or whatever. Intrusive thought. Fuck, I spent all day yesterday trying to remember what that was. Should have just asked me. Every time Alyssa gets into an elevator and presses the button, she just goes, going up. Oh, no, that's just whimsical. Is it?

I think so. I live in an apartment complex and I'm going up and down every time and I have to, for some reason, announce to other people which direction I'm going. No, that's fine. Is that normal or not, or whimsical? That's the new game, normal nar or whimsical. I think I wouldn't do it, especially if there were other people in there. But if I was there, say, with Torbs or one of you guys, I'd do it like. for a laugh.

Going up? Yeah. Like, I think that's quite cute. Don't the lifts normally do that anyway? They say it. Yeah. Yeah. When you lived in an apartment building,

would you like over the journey, you end up being in the lift with like the same people? Strangely, no. I don't know if it was just my apartment, but you end up in it by yourself a lot. Actually, yeah, I don't remember, except for Tommy Borden. I don't remember too many other people.

That is how that tall guy? Yeah. You don't end up really seeing any. my apartment was honestly like the twilight zone like it was the strangest place to live because imagine if you were in a lift with someone and they went going up and then a week later they said again you're like do they say they like do they know yeah it's all good i press the button i know where we go uh and finally tarpa sally uh wearing a sexy confidence singlet to bed sexy confident On nights when I'm feeling hot

I wear my special side boob singlet to sleep It's comfy and supportive And I wake up feeling like Beyonce Um yeah normal Well not I don't do it but yeah hot She's like I know that as I roll in the sleep A little boob will pop out the side And then she wakes up

She's like I mean I just think that's fun Yeah Yeah again whimsical It's a whimsical day Yeah It's a whimsical day Yeah

I got a love to seat here from Georgia Now, this is, there's a lot going on here, actually. She flew from Melbourne to Perth, which is just like... Love that few. Kind of just like an omen for the show, really. Yeah. Good omen. She said I tried to do the first man's business class.

Sorry, the poor man's business class. First, I was like, what? The poor man's business class. So when Tony and I fly, I sit on the aisle, Tony sits on the window and we just assume no one's going to book the seat in the middle. Yeah, because we sit right down the back as well. Yeah. And so, like, okay.

sweet so we're not going to pay for business class but like we can you know stretch our legs a little bit yeah so georgia went for this for the melbourne to perth trip and she said i've hit the poor man's first class trifecta because there's i'm in the aisle and there's no one in the middle or the window that's amazing i don't think i replied on like that's a laydown job right there oh yeah and i and thanks for the um photographic proof because i wouldn't have believed it no And I've got the pillows and blankets and stuff That's good Yeah, and sitting in front of Mick Fanning

By the looks of the thing, so Is it? Uh-huh Someone wearing a hat Yeah You've got blonde hair, it must be Mick Fanning I've worn a hat before Did you think I was Mick Fanning?

People were always saying that to me on the street I've got any love to see here This one's for you, Ryan, from Lindsay Patey Lindsay shared this through on our Patreon Hi Tony and Ryan I just completed my first volleyball tournament since I was in junior high about 20 years ago. A lot of 20 year chat.

Danny and you and now this. It was the first time meeting our teammates. We lost all of our matches and I couldn't move the day after without pain, but it was so fun to get back to the sport I love to play. Can also confirm there was no wrist strapping inside. Well, Lindsay. Thank you, Lindsay.

Thank you, Lindsay. Maybe if you'd strapped your wrist, you wouldn't have been so sore the next day. Maybe if you'd strapped your wish, you wouldn't have lost all your. matches that's all I'm saying can I just say when you play volleyball regularly you your body's used to it it's like the most fucked sport you can play if you haven't done it for a while is most not to be oh yeah but like getting back into any sport I feel like is jumping and landing

landing on your knees would be fucked diving onto the ground and then needing to get back up again yeah when you're in practice with diving onto the ground you're like like trust yourself more and you like are in the rhythm whereas just diving into the ground right now like go on well no do you know what I mean yeah like obviously not obviously not and just before we head on out of here and sail into the weekend yep uh shout out to the good folks at apple who are giving us a big pump up at the moment because we are part of the Apple podcast creators we love yeah we love us but we didn't know that anyone else did yeah and um I'm going to outtoning a little bit here. When they said, like we first met someone that worked at Apple and they said,

oh, can we ask you something? Tony went, someone from Apple knows who we are. Literally crazy. This is the craziest thing that's ever happened. And then they said, yeah, and then we'll get you guys in and we'll do some photos. And that ended up being like three days after I had foot surgery. Yep. And so I hobbled my big bum in there. You were brave. Ryan picked me up and put me in the back seat of his car and we and we tore down there so it was lots of fun but it was such a whirlwind I don't know if I've talked about this on the podcast

but as I was chauffeering you around yeah Tony's in the back seat had her leg up like literally a few days post surgery we drove past my friend Rachel's house who lives on like a pretty busy street and I go oh by the way I don't know if you know that's Rachel's house and Tony goes the one where Rachel's sitting in the window

I was like that's her and Ryan rolls the window down and he goes Rachel and she goes I'm on the phone she's like obviously like doing a Zoom call

for work or whatever and we're screaming from the street like hi guys I'm just at my dog yeah and she's like oh and then she went oh like she we shocked her

but then she's like I'm actually working and then I get this text later to go why was Tony in the back it was like there was so much to explain but yeah so shout out to Rach but shout out to Apple

yeah very exciting so so if you're listening Not in that order. If you're listening on the Apple app, like on the podcast app, if you go to the homepage, we're there. We're there. And it's actually got, I think, eight of our most listened to and favorite episodes and a little playlist there as well.

Yeah, there's a little playlist we made. And yeah, so it's really fun. And so if you've ever wanted to recommend the pod to somebody and not really known where they should start, this is actually a great time because they can go find that playlist, listen to those few episodes and kind of get a feel for it before they commit to probably going back to the beginning coming through. And then we'll see you

and then they'll listen to this in five years and go, oh, that's there. That's when I started. So thank you for listening but also thanks for Apple. That's fucking so sick. Fucking sick.

See you Monday. Bye.
