Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. I'm here with Dr. Arthur Tony Lodge and we are calling Geelong just down the road. We're calling Alex. Oh, we could have just driven down there. Might as well. You would have driven past Alex when we were doing Still Call Australia Home. Oh, of course. Hello, this is Alex speaking. Hi, Alex speaking. This is Tony and Ryan speaking. How are you going? Hi, I'm good. How are you guys? Yeah, we're good.
Starting point is 00:00:23 Have we interrupted you in something? Sounds like mechanical things are happening. Yeah. Oh, I'm just at work, so I had to kind of run out the back. Oh, what do you do? I'm just an algae technician at a shellfish hatchery. I don't know. It's not that exciting.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Yes, it is. That sounds awesome. That's really interesting. You must be fucking crazy smart. Oh, fuck no. Fuck no, she said. That sounds awesome. That's really interesting. You must be fucking crazy smart. Oh, fuck no. Fuck no, she said. Not at all. Oh.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Well, then I'm fucking stupid. Alex, will you approve this podcast? Yes, of course. Oh, yeah, show us your muscles. Hi, it's Alex from Geelong and I approve this podcast. All right, coming up today, the exclusive 50-hour live stream that we're doing in a few weeks. I like that title.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Is that a new title? We call them that? I like that. The exclusive live stream. It won't be the exclusive 50-hour live stream because people are really getting on board. We said one minute for every person that signs up, obviously minimum 3,000. So we're starting Friday morning and I'll give an update on how late into the weekend. Or is it kind of like we need to start earlier on the Friday to like shave some time off the other end?
Starting point is 00:01:54 What's that saying? There's many ways to skin a cat, but it's all, yeah. Just on Sunday afternoon, normally have like a standing appointment. So I heard it's a laying appointment. Just for everyone playing along at home. What do you call Sunday afternoon? Is there a name for it? Instantly my brain went to fun day afternoon,
Starting point is 00:02:18 but that is making me want to gag, which is in keeping, I guess. If there was a traditional time of the week for Tony to be a non-traditional unmarried lady. It would be Sunday afternoon, which is why I had a Monday morning meeting where Cam and I were like, how was your weekend? Well, don't be jealous. Hang on. But either way, no matter what, after 50 hours, there's no way. No fucking way. Probably for a few weeks.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Beds for sleeping. Yeah, okay, right. After you've been deprived of something for so long. All right, we'll get to that soon. But first. I meant the sleep, by the way. After you've been deprived of something, I meant the sleep. Just in case.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Anyway. What kind of 50-hour marathon? That actually sounds awful. It does, doesn't it? I can't think of anything. What would I do for the other 49 hours and 57 minutes? Nice. Two to get my belt up, obviously. You don't even wear a belt.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I don't know. That sounds like there's a joke in there, but I don't know what it is yet. Saying joke in there but I don't know what it is yeah saying no in the workplace this was an article coming up to what we've just talked about never said by Tony
Starting point is 00:03:31 maybe it would be valuable there's this article and I was like fuck this got a bit of Tony all over it because she needs the help potentially because it's like
Starting point is 00:03:39 because Tony is a yes person and a pleaser I am a pleaser fuck sorry we just really need to clean this up. We've derailed ourselves a little bit. Derail me.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Sorry. If some BS is going down in your workplace, but you don't quite know what to say without burning the place down, we can help. And it's hard because I am someone who... Have you seen that meme? And it's like, how do lawyers argue without crying? Because literally it's like when you kind of start having a serious conversation,
Starting point is 00:04:13 I feel like my eyes naturally water because I'm like trying not to get emotional because I would have to feel strongly about something to bring it up. So someone goes, Tony, I'm going to need you to do these 57 extra tasks. It's going to take you five weeks. I need you to do it by the end of the day. All good? And you go, yep. Well, I'd probably be like, oh, how do you see that kind of playing out?
Starting point is 00:04:39 Maybe or something. Because I'd be trying to creatively be like, that's probably not possible. But, you know, when you're trying to bring something up with anybody, not even just in the workplace, but like personally or like with a mate or whatever and you're like, it's actually kind of, I feel like we need to talk about this. And then you go, hmm. I'm just like non-confrontational and I really don't like it.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I just always feel like people are going to like fucking hit me in the face or something. What I do like about you though just always feels like people are going to like fucking hit me in the face or something. What I do like about you though, that feels like we've just slandered you because like I'm the positive, is that if you were maybe doing this for someone else, like when it's you, non-confrontation, but if you were like to go into bat for someone else, that's where you'd shine, I reckon. That's really nice of you. So instead of me reading this article from businessinsider.com,
Starting point is 00:05:28 which has some good ideas, what? Sponsored. What's for the article? I love businessinsider.com. I'm trying not to steal someone else's gear. Well, basically they've said here's some nice ways to go about it, but I actually think brutal blunt Tony would do better. So would you prefer me not to say where the thing's from? nice ways to go about it, but I actually think brutal, blunt Tony would do better. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:05:45 So would you prefer me not to say where the thing's from? No. It was just the way that you said it. And that's from businessinsider.com. And if you use my code INSIDERION20. Business inside her. What about business inside him? Business Insider.
Starting point is 00:06:03 I hardly ever met them in my life. I'm going to sip my coffee and just take a breath. I need to calm down. But are you having fun? I am having fun. Yeah. Let's do it. You're swamped with work and a colleague is trying to palm off even more of their work onto you.
Starting point is 00:06:24 and a colleague is trying to palm off even more of their work onto you, instead of saying, stop trying to make me do your work, it is recommended that you say, I'm not able to offer you additional support in completing your workload as I'm at capacity with my own responsibilities. Saying you're at capacity, isn't that just like such a great thing to say? That is a great thing to say. Or another thing you could say to them is? Fuck off.
Starting point is 00:06:48 I wouldn't personally say that, but you could say that. Or suck my flaps and do your own fucking work, Janine. Didn't want to use real names because I only work with two people. It's pretty hard for me to do a real life example. For example, Ryan, you fucking arsehole. It's just, you know, it's really hard. So Ryan Johnine is... Oh, I love that laugh you do. Nah.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Right, Janine. That's done me in. I agree that the word capacity is fucking, that cuts right through a sentence, doesn't it? I actually said that to someone socially recently. I'm going to need an example. It was actually producer Cam and he was like, did you still want to do this thing on Saturday night?
Starting point is 00:07:48 And I was like, I actually don't think I have the mental capacity to take that on at this time um and he was like oh actually totally fine because i was like i just i don't have the brain power to deal with doing something do you reckon popular people as in like people with lots of friends like so none of us not relatable so if they like you know you meet someone and blah blah blah like in passing at work and you're like, oh, they're kind of nice. I could be friends. And you just be like, I'm actually. I've got enough. I'm actually not taking on new friends at this point. It's another birthday.
Starting point is 00:08:13 It's another thing you got to do. It's another person to add to the rotation of Kris Kringle. You know, if we all go out for dinner, how many friends can you have? And you go, all all right it's my birthday we're going up hi can i book a table of 37 you know i mean what's the limit you're assuming though it actually is your birthday today nice happy birthday today oh shit yeah are you coming tonight can i get a table for 800 pence are you coming tonight? I will be. And I'll be at your birthday as well. I can't believe I forgot it was my birthday.
Starting point is 00:08:49 The thing is that it... What did you get me? You're assuming... It's a surprise. I'll give it to you tonight. It's me coming. Is she the president? Oh, I don't want that again.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I've already got that. The thing is that you're assuming that you're bringing someone into a top-tier level of being a friend. Oh, so I'm taking me being a shit bloke on board? You could take on a casual friend who maybe you text because you know that you follow the same AFL team. So, yeah, I think that you could bring someone on as a casual friend. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Just not full-time. Not full-time. Yeah. Pro rata. You don't have time for full-time friends. Point four. And then you've got to do annual leave. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Sick leave. You know, fuck. How do I divide superannuation by two days a week? It's fucking a nightmare. Oh, God. The admin. When someone you work with is trying to make you do things above your pay grade and you kind of want to go oh i actually don't get paid enough to deal with that crap or to take on
Starting point is 00:09:51 that project it's recommended that you say and this is good this falls outside my current job description but if there's an opportunity for an expanded role i'd be happy to discuss adjusting my contract to better align with these new, more important responsibilities. That has given me such an erection. So that's one way of saying I'm not paid enough for this. But what you could say when they're trying to get you to do those extra responsibilities is.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Oh, sorry. I'm just looking for someone that gives a fuck. Prop. I had a fuck. Prop? I had a prop? Tony's picked up a phone and is really committed. I haven't used props in comedy since I brought in that sickle.
Starting point is 00:10:36 I tried to make a joke about a hoe, but I brought a sickle in. And he goes, he goes, oh, you're such a, and I was like, sickle? And it was so, he was so committed.
Starting point is 00:10:48 He was supposed to bring it. I brought it in. I made my mum bring it from her house to my place, and I brought it in. I was like, don't look in the back of the car. I brought a prop. Ryan goes, I'm picking you up, but you can't look in the back of the car. And it was laying down in the shed.
Starting point is 00:11:07 And it was like all dirty. Been in ho and shit. Dirty sickle, yeah. He's such a communist. Yeah, so I've put props away, but I'm glad you brought them back. Yeah, I mean, a good prop isn't that good. Fuck, that's... The sickle. I mean, a good prop isn't that good. Fuck. That's so cool.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I planned that joke weeks ahead because I had to organise it. And when it fell so flat, I was flat for days. It was funny. I'm actually not in the way that you are. For prop jokes at this point in time. Thank you for interesting my comedy, however. Oh, this is real good. When someone you work with is like proposing an idea and you go,
Starting point is 00:12:01 if you do that, it's going to fuck up. And then it actually fucks up. What you want to say is, told you so, and that's fucking your problem now, mate. It's recommended that you say, I did previously note this was a likely outcome. How do you plan on resolving this? But what you could say is. Scroll up the email thread, dickhead. I fucking told you this would happen.
Starting point is 00:12:26 You should have just listened to me in the first place, you dumb bitch. And I think that's fair. I just don't like it when you kind of do make note of something, go, oh, just a flag, just a flag with that one. And that's how you kind of subtly try and bring it in. And then afterwards you go, hmm, found this one, and that's how you kind of subtly try and bring it in. And then afterwards you go, hmm, I don't know if someone's like that. And you hope that someone else in the meeting goes, I think you did say that.
Starting point is 00:12:54 But I reckon they, I actually prefer no one says it because you know they know. They know. And they know you know, and you're just sitting there going, yeah, oh, God, what a shame. That's fallen flat. That was made with a sickle drug. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Who could have predicted? It could have been someone's set. Hey, it's Alex from Geelong, and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. Welcome back. Tony has claimed she's organised me a surprise birthday party because she knows there's nothing in this world I would hate more. Can you imagine? We're sitting here and, like, your mum walks in and she's like, like, she's like, oh, Ryan, happy birthday.
Starting point is 00:13:57 You know, like, she's not a ghost. Not my mum. Not all mums sound like that. Or like anything, actually. She's quiet. Don't threaten me with a fucking surprise party, mate. Sorry. You respect me more than that.
Starting point is 00:14:14 I do. I would never do that to you. I've stopped getting invited to, you know how we used to get invited to like a lot of fucking anything, but like movie premieres and stuff? Yeah. And I, do you want to know the shittiest line ever? I mean, you know, leave it in. I just reply and go, oh, thanks. I don't do events.
Starting point is 00:14:36 All the best with the project. But the thing is, is that that just goes back to the ether. Yeah, not reply at events.com. Yeah. You just got like a junk email folder full of them bouncing back. Yeah. They're not inviting you because you don't want to go. They're just like, oh, take him off the list.
Starting point is 00:14:53 You know the systems are just bugging me out. Anyway, are we on a podcast? A massive thank you to a few of our champion tapas over at our Patreon. Ashley-Anne, thank you very much. Rach Kakamo, Jessica Robbins, Jake Ellsworth, Gavin Bartlett and Madison Price. You absolutely love to see it. And those people will hopefully be watching us
Starting point is 00:15:11 on our exclusive marathon live stream. Can you give me a bit of a trumpet, please, Cam? We said if we got to 3,000 Patreons, we would do the 50-hour live stream and we're on, as we've said earlier this week. One minute for every Patreon subscriber. We hit 3,000 on Monday. Big stuff. Huge.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Thanks for the support. People want to see it. At this stage, the 50-hour live stream is off. Oh. But the 53-hour live stream is on. And it's still only June 28th. Happy birthday. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:15:49 I was banded on this day 56 years ago. 56, 36, 36, 36, 36, 36. I had the word 50 in my mind. 50. I'm only 36. 36 today. 36 today. You can retire soon.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Get that super power. 401k, baby. 53. 53. Isn't it funny that three hours doesn't sound like that much, but it is. Oh, no. Once, yeah. After.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Three minutes. When we get to 50 hours, every minute is going to feel awful. Every second. Yeah. And actually probably around after. Every millisecond. I think, oh, okay. Oh,. Yeah. And actually probably around after. Every millisecond. I think. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Oh, God, you've gotten better with age. I think actually from about hour 20, I think is probably going to be pretty rough. Yeah. With ebbs and flows, obviously. Yeah. But yeah. And then getting to 50, then 53. 53.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Fuck me. Yeah. But yeah, and then getting to 50, then 53. 53, fuck me. Yeah, and this continues, as in we add a minute for every Patreon, right up until we finish. So if you want to join in hour 49. You can.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Yeah, and it just adds an extra minute on. And then also you get to watch, because if you're not part of the Patreon, you can't watch it. It's for exclusive and champion tapas only. Yes. Now, one thing we have discussed is we did mention ebbs and flows. Yeah. Is ebb and flow, is one of them bad and good? Or is that just a thing you say?
Starting point is 00:17:14 It's just like yin and yang. One's not bad and one's not good. It's just like. Right. Because we have. Ups and downs. Ups and downs, yeah. So I think we've discussed that the downs are going to happen.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I'm struggling to see after the 20-hour mark where the ups will occur. I think maybe similar to when we did the nuggets eating. Remember how we went through phases where we were like drunk on chicken? Yep. And then we just couldn't stop giggling and we were like little schoolgirls. And then like five minutes later, we were like the most depressed people ever. And we came back around. Is that the kind of thing like i think so yeah i reckon that you just kind of get those
Starting point is 00:17:48 like second wind yeah is it wind or wind wind wind yeah with a d so you get like a second wind don't you oh fuck i got the giggles today sorry um so i shouldn't have winked when you said, yeah, the D. Yeah. There's a D on the end. There's no D. No, the I think I can help you with the pan pan situation. Yeah. What was I saying? Sorry. I feel like I've smoked weed.
Starting point is 00:18:19 To be honest, I feel like I'm cooked as fuck. Hang on. Let's peel back the curtain here. Yeah. Tony's smoking weed. No. Is it like something? Because Tony's got a really sore back at the moment.
Starting point is 00:18:30 I do. Are you cooked up on like painkillers and stuff? Is that why you've been- I've had a bit of ibuprofen. Yeah. But I'm not sleeping great. Oh, okay. So is this what you like on no sleep? No.
Starting point is 00:18:44 Sorry. I don't know what's happening. I got something yeah i can tell do you need a cancel the rest of the day i'm actually nervous because a few days ago remember when i hit a wall yeah and i was just no good and i was like oh i've been awake for like nine hours in a row you get hard to be around sometimes when you get like that because I know that, no, no, no, no, and I'm not saying this against you. I'm saying like because I know that something that you hate. Yeah. See, here's the friendship memory.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Okay. You don't like it when people go, are you all right? And then you go, yep. And then someone goes, nah, like what's wrong? Oh, are you sure nothing's wrong? Blah, blah, blah. That's kind of my knee jerk is like are you sure you're okay like the other day i said are you all good and you went yep and i went okay and i knew that you
Starting point is 00:19:29 was i self i did say out loud i'm tired and we were having a funny day and that is better like at least when you're right i'm fine yeah that's not good that's not good that's not good um but i know that you don't like but i know that as i get more tired and more vulnerable i'm gonna feel like am i the problem and i'm worried that i'm gonna be annoying to you but i don't want to be because i know that that actually like bothers you so i'm trying to also be very self-aware of like how i talk to you because i don't want you to, because we're in it together. Do we need a code word? Yeah, I think so. Like a safe word. A safe word.
Starting point is 00:20:13 And what would that function as? Is that kind of like if I'm going like, oh, you sure you're all right? And you can just go like, ding dong. It's not going to be ding dong. It is not going to be. It can literally be any other fucking word. As an example. But not ding dong. No, no.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Get a better example. Okay. Finding Nemo. Do you know why that was the first thing I thought of? We'll put it in the Patreon and they can choose. Yeah, someone else can choose. We'll do a poll. Like, is it kind of like, Finding Nemo,'t like please stop or is it like finding nemo i
Starting point is 00:20:48 need a minute or is it like finding nemo fuck like do you know what i mean or are there multiple safe yeah i was gonna say because okay the safe words we need for me as we've just discussed is like just ease up ease up for a second good yeah. Because I think that nothing annoys me more than having to justify why I'm not annoyed. No, totally. But I know that that fucks you off. But I need more. So I'm like, oh, I get locked on to thinking that something's wrong. And then when you go, nah, I'm all good.
Starting point is 00:21:18 I go, I'm the problem. And you don't want to say anything. There's been too many lies in your life. Yes, there has. Yeah. Because when someone says to Tony, I'm all good, she's like, they're fucking mad. I've killed their dog.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Yeah. So when I say the code word, whatever it is, it means leave me the fuck alone. Yeah. When you say it, it means, it's not the same. I'm about to have a meltdown, leave me the fuck alone. I think it's just a code word. That just means chill.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Or it means like think about what you're saying and is it necessary right now? Yeah. Just like hold your horses. Okay. Yeah. Maybe it can be hold your horses because that's funny. And I think that if I said that when I was about to have a meltdown,
Starting point is 00:21:54 can you hold your horses? That's funny. Is that a code word though? No. Because it actually feels like it makes sense. Yeah, it does. Which is not what a code word needs to makes sense. Yeah, it does. Which is not what a co-worker needs to stand out. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:07 And I think that naturally, though, I am going to enter into the realm of being like, finding Nemo as a joke. It's not a joke. This is serious. This is serious business. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we can't just be saying finding Nemo or its equivalent. What if I forget what it is and I say finding Nemo?
Starting point is 00:22:23 Is everyone going to remember what it means? Yeah, we'll figure it out. Someone will comment. When you've travelled with Torbs, did you ever experience cabin fever with Torbs? No, actually. We travel really well together. But we actually like each other.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Do you remember during COVID when people were like, oh, God, I've had enough of the miso. And I'm like, fuck, I love it. Yeah, it's so good. We were at home together. We were fucking in our element. Like, we were all good we were home together we were fucking in our element
Starting point is 00:22:51 okay cabin fever chat in the Facebook group people voting on a codebird in Patreon let's just not take anything personally like nothing that it's not personal you know what freaked me the fuck out about more than anything else during the childbirth of Mabel is multiple people, including doctors, nurses, and other people who had been a part of,
Starting point is 00:23:15 you know, a birth story gone, just whatever Bridget says in the birth suite, just don't take it personally. Sure. And I spent the whole time just like, well, what's she going to say? Yeah. Because when they say don't take it personally, I i spent the whole time just like well what you're gonna say yeah because when they say don't take it personally i think it's the opposite it's like this is going to be the the truth that's been sitting in that back pocket that whole time yeah and this is gonna and it's gonna and because so many people you imagine how many times you get told i'll just don't take it personally you go what the fuck's about to happen yeah is this a fucking setup like
Starting point is 00:23:42 what's gonna yeah and so all day i was like and everything and when you're like oh are you okay and she's like yep you're like she's like finding nemo yeah we'll find yeah it turns out she didn't you know destroy my soul and actually brought in the love of my life mabel into this world so it actually turned out to be a positive and i was assuming it would be the worst day of my life. Yeah. No, but it was great. Yep. Don't you love being pleasantly surprised? Love it. I have a year left to see it, which is that, a little bit.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Oh, actually, sorry, just quickly. Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. Patreon.com slash Tony and Ryan is where you can sign up. Only exclusive and champion tapas can watch, participate, and they'll be voting on stuff, polls, choosing what we do, setting challenges, that sort of thing. So all the challenges, all the questions, patreon.com slash Tony and Ryan. It starts on July 7th on the Friday and depending on how long it goes,
Starting point is 00:24:32 we might bring it a bit earlier but it'll be in the morning at some stage, I guess. My Love to See It is from Elizabeth Samuel in our Facebook group. Lizzie. Yeah, cute. Lizzie Sams. Lizzie Sams. Samo. Do you reckon she gets Sams. Lizzie Sams. Sammo.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Do you reckon she gets a Sammo? The big Sambo. I have my own fuck it, start the blog. It is start the fucking blog, Elizabeth, but I will let you have that. To be fair, we have a fuck it fund and a start the fucking blog. So there's a crossover there. Oh, yeah, crossover there.
Starting point is 00:24:57 The branding's not great. Elizabeth says, at the end of August, I'm making the move from Brighton, UK, to Melbourne. Holy shit. Is it because she's banned from pizza meat? Yeah, well, so that's what I thought. I was like, oh my God, you got the 18-inch pizza and you went, well, that's not the right fucking size. I'll move to Melbourne.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I'm moving to the other hemisphere. Sales pizza actually do a great 18-inch pizza. If you're interested, Elizabeth, I'll hook you up. I've just finished my law degree. Wasn't sure what to do with myself and decided, fuck it, I'm going to move to Melbourne. Who knows what will happen next? If anyone has any advice for me on where the best places are,
Starting point is 00:25:31 I'd really appreciate it. So Elizabeth's comment is on the You Love To See It thread. But also if you're in Melbourne and you've got some advice for Elizabeth, you could pop that on today's episode thread. I'm sure she'll see it. Absolutely. That's a big move without like something locked in. I'm just going for it. Massive. she'll see it. Absolutely. That's a big move without like something locked in. I'm just going for it.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Massive. I love it though. Yeah. And I wonder if like the Melbourne thing because it feels quite specific. I wonder if that's because we've painted Melbourne
Starting point is 00:25:52 with such a great brush. We are actually now, I would say, unofficial international ambassadors of Melbourne. And as a Victorian and a Melbournian myself through and through by blood,
Starting point is 00:26:04 born and bred. Born and bred in Perth, never been to the MCG. Never been to the MCG. Lived down the road from it, never been. Yeah, love it so much. I think that I will take that on with pride. And thanks, Elizabeth, for offering us a job that we didn't know that we wanted but always needed.
Starting point is 00:26:21 Have Qantas got back to us? Because you announced yourself big time as the spokesperson for the National Airline. Spent a lot of money on trying to get them to notice me. Did you know that Qantas was in the top five of the airline rankings until you put that video out and last week it was announced
Starting point is 00:26:37 it's 17th in the world. It's below Fiji Airlines in the Oscars of the airlines according to them. I don't know if they're unrelated. Surely that's unrelated, because my ad was lovely. It was lovely. Maybe people are like, we'll boycott until you use that in the official marketing.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Yeah, that makes sense. My love to see it, also Melbourne-based, is Peter Hill, who's a tarper, right here in town, and he's a train driver. Oh, cool. He has confirmed that the seagull in the train story is a myth. Thank you. Which I didn't like to hear from Peter, but thanks.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Thanks, Pete. I love to see that, actually. Do you? No, is that it? Obviously. No, no, no. But Pete drives a train here in Melbourne. The one thing that absolutely makes my day is seeing the excitement of little kids' faces
Starting point is 00:27:21 when they wave at the train and then I wave back and, like, toot the horn. Because, you know, they go like, when it goes past the thing. And because, you know, I think I was, mum said I was obsessed with, like, tractors. Like, if I saw a tractor, I'd just fucking lose it. And apparently a lot of kids love trains. My nephew, Tyler, was super into trains. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:40 And so what is it about this big machinery? I just think it's huge and it's interesting. So a lot of kids will stand there and be like, oh, we're going to like, and their parents, they're kind of like, oh, my kid wants to see the train. And then they'll wave really excited. And then Pete waves back and they just like, oh, they've won the lotto. Do you remember my love to see only recently was that kindy, that after school care.
Starting point is 00:28:04 And whenever trucks went past, they would talk about like what they were carrying. I think it's like a good learning exercise also because they talk about what they're carrying and what they're doing. And that would make a kid's day. I've got another one. I have to say it. Yeah. I started watching slow TV.
Starting point is 00:28:21 What's slow TV? So there's cameras put on the Garn, which is the train that goes from Adelaide to Darwin. It just goes through the outback. And I think it goes for, I thought it was in real time, but it goes for like three or four hours. It's like a 20-hour trip. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:28:37 But it's like there's different cameras on the train and you kind of just, you know, it's slow TV. So it's on in the background and you're just seeing the thing and they actually show you bits of the train and you kind of just, you know, it's slow TV. So it's on in the background and you're just seeing the thing and they actually show you bits of the train and it's kind of like you actually learn about the train and the towns they go through. It's not just like a GoPro stuck on the front. I thought that's what it was. I like that.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Have you ever watched the live feed of the Falcons on the building? In Melbourne? Yeah. How good is it? Yeah. And sometimes Storms and I, we just pop that on. Yeah. Just because we're like, I'm reading and he Yeah, and sometimes Storm's Night, we just pop that on. Yeah. Just because we're like,
Starting point is 00:29:07 I'm reading and he's like playing a video game or whatever and we just pop that on. It's nice. Pippa loves it too. Yeah, I bet she does. Well, I actually think she'd like the Gant.
Starting point is 00:29:13 I would like that. It's on Amazon Prime. Oh, is it? Oh, I thought you meant it was just like someone did it on YouTube or something. No, so SBS made it. So that's why it's like
Starting point is 00:29:22 it's got some facts and different camera angles. It's a drone like over the top and it shows off the outback. It's actually, I just assumed someone strapped a GoPro to the front. It's actually beautifully produced and interesting to watch. That's sick. Oh, that's a great recommendation. Yeah. I might
Starting point is 00:29:35 watch that tonight. We're pro-train here at TARP. Do you know what I was actually about to say? We should get a TARP train? Yes. We should go on Puffing Billy. That's a great. The kids one or the proper, the big one? Like the proper one. In the Dandenongs?
Starting point is 00:29:48 Yeah, that goes from Delgrave to Jenbrook. Yeah. Look at you, local girl. I actually went on Puffing Billy with my mum when I was a kid. Oh, really? That's cute. When I was like 12 or 13. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:58 And we, I still have a fridge magnet that she bought me from that day that we went. That is beautiful. Yeah. Yeah. But I, and I loved it. And because you could, oh, I don't know if you can anymore. Because there's a kids puffing Billy and Elf and there's little trains where the kids go on.
Starting point is 00:30:10 They're like a foot wide and they sit in little seats. Oh, that's adorable. You can take Mabel on when she's older. I will. Yeah. I promise. Is she too young? Yeah, she's probably too young.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Definitely too young. Yeah, you have to be able to obviously sit in the thing, like unassisted. Are you saying my daughter is incapable of managing herself? Well, I mean, at the moment, she can't really sit up by herself. That's okay. She's learning. She's getting stronger all the time, actually. Every time I see her, she kind of starts to like,
Starting point is 00:30:38 she's less floppy when you hold her, and she can kind of look around and stuff. Except when she's tired and she gets real floppy. And it's actually quite sweet because you go, oh, you need me. Then I'll just flop her into bed. I can help you. Yeah. Anyway, we should go on Puffing Billy.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Yeah, okay, great. Yeah. Good call. Today? All right. I can't do today, unfortunately. No birthday puff? Sorting out your birthday presents.
Starting point is 00:31:01 You fucking see, like. And your surprise party. Your surprise puffing, Billy. If I walk out of the studio and there's not a Suzuki Jimny waiting at the door. Saving that for a big birthday. I'll wait till your 60th because you're 56 this year. So I'll wait till a couple of years. Yeah, it's the next milestone. Your 60th.
Starting point is 00:31:21 I'll buy it then. Yeah. We don't do gold watches for retirement here at TARP. We do Jimneys. A gold Suzuki Jimny. All right. Chat to you tomorrow. Love you.
Starting point is 00:31:31 Bye.
