Yep. We are. Sorry. And we never started a podcast without a tarp or approval. And without interrupting each other. So that's all good. But. But. But. Now, Melissa is in California, she's a hot California girl. Oh, very nice. And with some start the blog energy, Melissa what have you just signed up for? Yes, I've booked my first gig as a Sledgling Stand Up Comedian.

Oh, awesome! And the gig is to host a fundraiser for a three legged dog picnic. That is amazing, though. Your first gig. That's I'm sorry. A three legged dog is that? The dog with three legs. So that's the fundraiser, because I heard like I thought when you have a three legged race. Well, so not the same.

No, we're not trapping the dogs together or anything. No. Also two dogs trapped together, obviously that'd be. Seven. Six. Six? Yeah, that's what I was like. Well, I guess it would depend, right?

We're talking three legged dogs and, you know, obviously. Yeah. Five. Yeah, yeah. It's too much math. I'm not sure I can And you know what three comedians probably can't put even put a lot well in so let's not worry about maths Behind this people can see the images that my mind is creating. I don't think they need to um hey Melissa

You've done a great job. Would you mind approving today's episode? I would love to approve the podcast. Awesome. Thank you. You can host the show as well. Yeah, okay. Hey, this is Melissa from California and I approve this podcast. Two things to put on the table today. One we have one my balls and one my sack. It's hard to do one without the other.

Yeah, there's two things. We've all brought lunch in today and we've all decided we're ordering lunch. Yeah, I didn't for the record. I didn't bring lunch in. You said, are we hungry? Oh, that was Tony. Yeah, and I didn't say, are we hungry? I said, are we a little bit hungy?

Yeah. I said it in a cute way, because if you do it in a cute way, it doesn't count. Yeah, I've got like a nice like protein drink in the fridge and a few microwave meals. You've got quite a lot of those in there. Yeah, because I get them one for each day and then each day I don't have them.

Yeah, so fair. But think of the intention. Oh, and that is... Intention is zero-tenths of the law. I was about to say nine-tenths of the law and then I was like, is that right? Nothing in a property or ownership or something. Possession is nine-tenths of the law. Lily, you look like you're about to say something of interest.

Oh, I was just going to say how old are those protein drinks? Are you really sure you want to drink that? That's a great question. That's a really, yeah. It's a great question. Because we've been... I don't have an answer, but it's a great question. That's a really, yeah. It's a great question. I don't have an answer, but it's a great question. We have been talking about the bugs in the office.

Some people have sent some really, really good advice about them being drain flies. But a lot of them flew into all of Ryan's open containers of drinks. They all had to be disposed of. So there has been some loss in the past week here at TopTower. There was also some loss at my house yesterday because we found some ham in the fridge and we have no idea how long it's been in there for. And Bridget goes, does it still smell all right? And I've had a bit of a cold so I can't really smell

so I'll eat some. And then I said, it tastes. Why didn't she just smell it? Great question. Like, you know, oh, I can't really smell it. Do you want to have a go? I can't really smell it. I'll eat some. Well, she just looked at it and she said it looked sweaty.

So she was a no. And then I was like, if it tastes all right, it'll be fine. And then I ate some and I was like, oh, it's touching go. It's slimy a bit. Yeah. And then I had another bite. She's like, don't keep eating it. And you know, and then we're chatting about the flies and wasting food and just to really-

Do we know what's in the fridge here? What? Well, last Wednesday, Brian couldn't be here. So we left you some birthday cake in the fridge. We saved you some gluten free. I appreciate that. Thank you guys. Yeah. That would still be perfect as well, I reckon. My dad and stepmom, I reckon had a slice of their wedding cake in their fridge for like 15 years. You're supposed to put it in the freezer, but yes. Oh. Yep. It's a thing. So, cause back in the day-

We're going to eat it later or something? Well, I think it's supposed to be that you keep it and then you eat it on your anniversary. So back in the day, it used to be that the very top, cause cakes used to be like three tier or whatever. So not like layers, but like that. And then the gap, like the plastic gap. And then the next thing,

and the very top one used to be full fruitcake. So you could keep it, because there's no like- That makes sense. No eggs and dairy and stuff in it. It's just, yeah. And my mom and dad kept theirs as well. And yeah, you can keep the top of it.

And I think that the tradition is supposed to be that every year you have a little bit on your wedding anniversary or whatever But people don't really do fruitcake anymore. Unfortunately, I love fruitcake. Is that the same as the one you have at Christmas? Yeah, pretty much. I think we've got a few of those in the cupboard because I actually bought three one year and they just stay forever. They do. Yeah, that's probably Christmas pudding. But is that not just fruitcake?

No, I don't think it's the same. It's got fruit in it, it's cakey. There's a difference. I think it's different, yeah. But fruitcake fucked me completely up in time, I bloody hanced my head. We've got it. You can just have the cake. Yeah, sorry. God, I'd do anything, just have it.

You walked away by accident. Yeah, it's really fun. Take the fucking cake. Now someone sent a confession through, actually both of these. Well, you hooked one yesterday and then you said maybe logistics chat, we can't. So what's going on with that?

This is about the Webbies and they've, both today's confessions actually, they've put their name on it. They've sent it not through the form, they've emailed and gone, here's my confession. Ooh, but to do the right thing a week and then anonymize them? The second one, definitely, because it's fucked.

Do them a favor. But the first one, let me just read it out and we can see if we're out this top off. So can you imagine if you're like, so we're not gonna give out their name, but their email address is. Yeah. Yeah, I'll reply to tony.lodge.

Yeah, atlant. Um, anonymous. It's not me. It sounds now like it's me. Have fun at the Webbies next week. Aww. I don't know if they release the actual votes, but if you win by eight or less, you've got me and my sneaky, powerful ways to thank for the victory. I am a senior people leader for an international company with eight direct reports coming into me who are all leaders. Oh, so eight people that work for...

This person. Each week we have a team meeting which I control the agenda for. When the webby voting opened up, I started our weekly team meeting with a, hi everyone, first item on the agenda is a quick voting. The link is in your thing. If you could all fill out that form, click on Tony and Ryan, let me know when you're done and then we'll push on with the meeting.

It will affect your bonuses this year. Yeah. That's amazing. You're in a position of power. Like if your boss says do this, you kind of do it. Yeah, whenever Charles tells me to do stuff, I'm like, yes, absolutely. They all have to comply because I'm their manager.

But here's the thing. Someone snitched and I was summoned to my manager's office. Apparently it came up and they go, oh, is it kind of normal for this kind of thing? And the manager went, oh, I'll have a bit of chat with them when I have my one on one later this week. Oh my God. Imagine if they use their one call to be an approver. They're in jail.

Can I have a phone call? Do you got a lawyer to call? Sort of. Yeah, someone, someone will answer. I'd bring my fuck up away. Now this happened, like as soon as it announced that we'd done well, this message came through. But we've had an update. Because this. So what happened to the one on one?

Yeah, the top was like, I've got this fucking. So now we've had the meeting. Yeah. Okay. What would you, what's your gut, like is it a bit rogue, but like no harm, no foul play? I think it's kind of no harm. I think in a threatening way, they said, you must do this. That's a little bit different to being like,

oh, podcast a hell lot. Do you mind throwing us a vote? Or if some of them went, oh, I don't really feel comfortable. And they said, fucking do it. Oh, well then obviously. Versus like, hey guys, before we get started, real random one. If you don't mind.

And they're like, yeah, now sounds fun. Yeah, so it's probably, it's a tonal thing. I think it depends on how it was delivered. Like it was threatening in this office. Yes. No one's ever been threatened in this office. And if you say that again, Charles, you'll fucking hear about it. I'll report to Charles, so I feel uncomfortable.

We'll be doing voting for employee of the year, and I'll be letting you know who to vote for. Should we do employee of the year? I love that. Do we announce it on the final day? Like of the year? At Christmas? Oh, no, it's Christmas is Christmas. Maybe a week before. OK.

Well, you'll be in Cabo. You don't mind. Yeah. I'll announce. Sorry about that laugh. You'll have to send my trophy to the villa. So, another bombshell enters the villa. That's gonna be right. Yeah. And the bombshell is just my employee of the year trophy which I assume is mine. You will not be winning. You will be voting how I tell you to. I'll be winning. I think that it's pretty easy to tell. You guys don't have the majority anymore.

I signed the paycheck shots. Do you? No, Ryan lodges payroll. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Okay, so anonymous TARPA. Turns out my manager is a TARPA as well. Oh my God, thank God.

Not only does she approve of the podcast, but she approves of eight staff taking two minutes to vote for it. And you know what they'd be doing with that two minutes anyway? Probably on TikTok. You know? Why did you turn into a boomer all of a sudden? You haven't really wasted any time because I was just going to scroll on Tinder or

TikTok or Instagram or something. YouTube. Are you a boomer or French? YouTube. Tinder. I love that. Also, what a great time to find out that your boss is a tarpa. Yeah. Um, you know, it doesn't come up a lot, but it's happening more and more. It is. Yeah. There's a, we're taking over. I wouldn't know. I think we're good army. Sure. See you in a minute. Oh, we're still going then.

Hey, this is Melissa from California and you're listening to Tony and Ryan. This episode is brought to you by our friends at Aura Frames. And Ryan, do you happen to know maybe someone? Not adding anybody, but that maybe takes a million photos of maybe, you know, the cutest little girl in the world. And their camera roll is just overflowing with pictures you don't know what to do with. There is smoke coming out of my phone because of their 10 million photos I have of Mabel struggling to fit in my phone.

I meant the prettiest little girl ever. I obviously meant my phone. And my coworker, Tony Lodge. Because filled with the prettiest little girl in the world, my little Frenchy Pippa.

Sally Dubs, Kelsey Newman, Jess Foley, Zoe Grace and Carly Danek.

Thank you very much for being part of our Patreon. We'll be saying it at her hotel next week, won't we? Carly Danek. Nah, the first one. Marriott Nell. The Marriott, that's right. Yeah, sorry, the rest of the names I was distracted thinking. The Marriott Honell. Yeah. Was that it? So we're being rattled because I was going to do two confessions and I decided that one was fine. That we just did one and yeah. And then we're all out of because I was gonna do two confessions and I decided that one was fine. But we just did one and yeah.

And then we were all out of sync. All good. Something happened in the office and we had to, as well as the flies, as well as the cake. Bit of admin. As well as the other stuff. Everyone was tools down the other morning. Why? It was like, everyone stop what you're doing.

Something has happened. Stop. Pay attention attention close your laptops something's going down it's important is what Tony Lodge said so then we all put our laptop down and she goes guess who's got jeans on that did happen yeah yeah i said guys look i look really good yeah now i believe it was. And I did. Yeah. Thank you. I'm sorry. The direct quote was, does it look good?

Now in 2023. Two years ago, two long years. Tony Lodge declared she was done with jeans. And I don't know, I think you found like a really great jean alternative, jean alternative that looked great and you're kind of like, I don't know, I think you found like a really great jean alternative that looked great and you were kind of like, I don't need to go back. Well I started wearing like just black linen pants. Yeah.

Yeah. And then they start, they rip so easy and they shrink in the wash. So I ended up going to like 15 fucking pairs of those. So then it was actually on Tony Bingo and Patreon last year that she becomes a denim girl again. And you did start what I would say is flirting with being a jean girl again. But I feel like when you came in the other day,

you were like, I'm back. I'm back on. And I hope for the sake of, are you wearing them right now? Yeah. Thank God for that. Can you just- I planned on this too.

Can you give us a, cause the thing is, is that we joke, fuck dude, where are they from? They're from Just Jeans. No shit. What? Because I think the thing, like obviously when someone makes a declaration

that they're done with jeans and they're back in jeans, you go, well, we can have some fun with this. But the thing is you came in and we all went, you do look fucking good. Yeah, thanks everyone. You do look great. Is it the cut? Is it just the vibe?

Is it the energy? Like what is it? I think it's just that they fit well and they are a nice, I think they're like a barrel leg, which is like the new thing. But I think because like, obviously I've got like a big bum and hips.

I think then that the shape down helps or something. But also I think that a lot of people probably relate to this. It's like, jeans are just one of those things, where you're like. It hits or it doesn't? Yeah. And I think everybody's got a pair of jeans that they go, oh, I'm hanging onto those because.

They actually fucking. They either really fit or you go, oh, they don't really fit me right now, but I reckon I'll fit back into them. And this is what I had in my drawer, right? I had jeans that I was like, oh my God, like they haven't fit for a while, but I reckon like, or they fit,

but like I can't really sit down or whatever. They're a standing up pant. And so when I was like, you know what, this is like, I need a pair of jeans because I just need something that's gonna be a little bit warmer and comforting and just kind of go with everything. And anyway, they, I ordered these online.

I didn't even go into the fucking shop. That's insane. I know. And I was like, so fucking panicked. But that's where we're at. How desperate are you? I'm ordering jeans online. I know.

And I'm like, well, I don't want to go in there and try them on and they not fit. And then I feel shit. And then like, I'll just, what a fuck, how annoying. Yeah, I've never felt lower than at times when I've gone to try and close and they don't, and you just go like- Cause you're in that tiny room, the lighting is shit.

There's no air in there. So you get hot hot and sweaty and it's just like such a shitty experience So I ordered them online the second I hit order I'm like, oh they're gonna come and they're not gonna fit like and I just fought hard in my mind and They came and I actually put off trying them on they sat in the bag for like a week Cuz I was like I just I just can't do it to myself. Anyway, I ended up trying them on right before bed. I was like, I'm just going to try those jeans on. Must have been having a good day.

Yeah. I'm going to try those jeans on. And they fit. And I put them on and they did up and I can't, you know, when you try on pants and you do this. The squat, yeah. Can I sit in it? I've never done that, but I should.

Yeah, you do a little squat and you go, yeah, they're not gonna rip if I have to bend down and do anything. I tried on some pants because I've got no good pants for the wear because I don't have like slacks or anything. I was like, I don't have anything to wear around the, you know.

So I tried them on and the lady goes, do you wanna sit just to see if you can? And I was like, excuse me. And I was like, no, it's actually very valid. It's honestly, it makes you feel a bit more confident because then it's not when you're about to get in the car where you go, I haven't tried to sit in these yet. And by the time you're getting in the car,

it's too late to change. I'm about to split my pants in a taxi. Yeah, and not ideal. Anyway, so they fit and I just like popped them on the couch and like went to change. I'm about to split my pants in a taxi. Yeah, and not ideal. Anyway, so they fit and I just like popped them on the couch and like went to bed. Early the next morning, we woke up to Pippa not very well. No. And like, like really not well.

And we kind of, and she was just like wimpering and pants, she just not happy. Then we were like, maybe she needs to go out.pering and pan, she just not happy. Then we were like, maybe she just needs to go out. And then we, she tried to go down her stairs and she was like, not walking on her like back right leg. And then she was trying to walk outside and she's like hopping and like not putting any, and I was like, maybe there's something in her paw

or something, we had a look at it and it was just like bright red. And it was kind of like pussy. And like she'd snapped a nail on her paw and she hadn't like, obviously it happened the night before, but she hadn't let us know and then overnight it's just like fucking blown up.

We were like, we need to take her to the emergency vet. She's fine now, by the way, like she's all good, but we had to take her to the emergency vet. And I'm like so panicked about Pippa, right? And Torbz was like, we'll both go, like I'll drive, you hold her, and we'll like, cause it's just 10 minutes away from our house.

And I'm like, oh my God, we've got to go. And Torbz walks out and he's wearing like, you know, soft shorts and a fucking t-shirt with a hole in it or whatever. And he walks out and I've just thrown on the first thing I can find Which is this new pair of jeans? The other little t-shirt the first trip out But he walks out he hasn't seen me in the jeans. Oh, and he walks out and he goes. Whoa, you look hot and

He's like fucking And he's like you look hot. And Pippa is like fucking freaking out. And he's like, you look really fucking good. And I was like, oh, thanks, it's the jeans that I ordered. And he was like, they look awesome. They do look awesome, he's right. And he was like, oh, should I change? I have to be seen next to you. He's like, should I change?

And I was like, no, mate, like, should I change? And I was like, no, mate, like let's go. And he's like, Oh, you look really, like he's like, you look really good. And then six or seven hours later when Torb stopped railing Tony, they took Pippa to the vet. Well no. And so I was like- Cause did he feel underdressed next to you? Well, yeah. So he was like, should I get changed? Should I put a collar on? Yeah. Like, you know, oh, fuck. Okay. We're going to go to Voodoo Mon on the way home or? Or like, you know, when you message a friend

and you go like, oh, we'll go grab a coffee. I'm not dressed cute just to let you know. So you know that the vibe is like either active wear or whatever. You've set the intentions. Anyway, and so we're about to like walk out the door and I like look in the mirror and I go, fuck, I do look good.

And so I took a little selfie on the way to the emergency bed. Your dog. Almost on his death bed, her death bed. I know. No, and she's all good. Like it was just a quick one. But I was-

If I was about to die and you had to take me to emergency, if I found out you did a fucking fit check, stop on the, hang on a sec, let's let me go to the full-length mirror and just leg up next the front door in fairness you know um but yeah anyways look at the photo topside you're really good and he got changed oh hang on where's it gone was this while he was getting changed yeah so he walked out he's like in his pajamas he's like oh I better wear something nicer. Oh, you do look good.

Thanks. I'm just wearing it with crocs. With crocs or a t-shirt, just whatever, you know. And look at this. Oh, hang on. Let me show these guys. The look on your face, you know, you look good in the jeans.

Have a look at her face in this. Oh, she knows what she's doing. you know you look good in the jeans. Have a look. At her face in this. Oh! She knows. She knows. She knows what she's doing. That looks like you're on a photo like Tinder or something. Yeah.

She's like getting it. And I'm like, okay. Okay. Okay. You're the smirk. Yeah, like a smize. Wow. But if I may show you one thing.

So that's right next to it. There's more? It's right next to a window in my house. And you can see Torb's in the reflection, like holding- Checking you out. Holding Pippa, but like looking at me. I thought he was holding his dick down. There's just a lot going on.

You can see him in the window. So hang on, he's got the dog ready and you stopped him. Cause you said 30 seconds ago, he was busy getting changed. No, we just gotta go. No, look there, see? And he's like, I'm ready. And you're like, hang on a sec, sweetie. Getting a fit check for the guys.

Just gotta send this. I'm just gonna send this to maybe my new boyfriend. Yeah, so Pippa's all good. Like she's fine. I've never seen someone so keen on their own outfit before going to a medical place. Then when my wife, Bridge went to see Dr. Johnno, like she'd always get dressed up for him and I'm like, fucking dress up for me.

But anyway, yeah. So because I was like, Oh my God, throw on the, I thought I was being so noble. Throw on the first thing I can find. Like let's fucking go. I thought I was being noble. Cause I'm like, let's just get out of here. And then I'm like, whoa, okay. Who the fuck is she?

Yeah. So, and you know what? Get your girl that can do both. I was being a mom in an emergency, but I also looked hot and fly as fuck. So the jeans are a huge yes. Yep. Yeah. A huge yes. And then I actually have-

Was there any comments at the vet about the jeans? There was a couple of looks I reckon. Yeah. A huge yes. And then I actually have- Was there any comments at the vet about the jeans? There was a couple of looks, I reckon. Yeah. And everybody else is, you know, in like their pajamas, the same like as I normally would have been, but I wear a nightie so I can't wear that to the vet. I reckon the other people at the vet, put some effort in, doll.

Cause like, cause it was quite early in the morning. So, so he's like, oh you're there for a dream Do you believe in fashion or do you believe in excuses? You know Hot yeah Like if you died today in those pants, you know, your ghost is forever wearing, you know, is that true? I think so whatever you dying is that's what you wear. That's your ghost outfit. Yeah, that's why I always wear jeans. That's why I've got my very Aesthetic outfit on today.

For those playing at home, I'm wearing like Jordan tracksuit pants that have It looks good though. Cost per wear on these. You'd be so comfortable. Less than a cent. You'd be so comfortable. I'll be comfy for the rest of time.

I would be too in these jeans. Ha ha. I've also fucking done that thing that where I like then went back to the website and bought every color. Yeah. And you should. Cause I was like, you know what?

They fit, they look awesome. I'm just going to do that. It's so hard to find the right one. When you find it, you got to stick with it. I got Elive to see it here. And I know we're all having a fun time. This is a great story, but it's like, I don't know if I'm going to get through this without

crying because it's beautiful. It's from Tapa Laura Taylor. Hi Laura Taylor. I just found out the results of my daughter's start the fucking blog. Whoa. My 12 year old daughter is LGBTQ plus in a pretty homophobic school. The administration is accepting, but the kids are just horrible.

Kids are fucking asshole. She finally got the nerve to request an LGBTQ plus club so that the community can get together in a safe environment with others like them, their allies and anyone wanting to learn more. The school has got back to her and said, yes. My daughter is such a strong person and I'm so proud of her, I could burst.

I love that her version of start the fucking blog was start the fucking club. And now there's one at her school for people like herself and she's fighting hate with love and I couldn't be more proud. Oh, that's fucking awesome. That's from Tapa Laura Taylor. Laura says also,

PS Tony, great looking in those jeans. Yeah, I think we can all agree on which story is more important and more impactful today. If there's one thing we've learnt today. That's fucking awesome.

Good on her. That's really cool. And's huge. Good on her. That's really cool. And awesome that like, there's other people, probably that weren't as strong as Laura's daughter. That can just join and have like that safe space. That's awesome. Yep. Good on you. That's actually incredible.

That's really cool. I have you love to see- But don't- But the jeans. Forget about the jeans. The jeans. I've got you love to see here from Adam who says, first off, hi from Northern California.

Just to let us know that he's a hot California girl. Adam says, I work in IT and two of our managers are called Tony and Ryan. Perfect. And everyone gets confused when my coworker Ian and I talk about the podcast. So they go, oh, can you believe Tony and Ryan said that thing?

People are like, what? They talked about fucking each other. Tony was joking about getting fingered by Ryan again. Again. And then they're like, the managers are fucking. Like what's going on? Don't let them watch last Friday's episode on YouTube. Yeah. You can't talk about your manager's pubes and that includes both of you. Thank you guys. But I just thought like cute coincidence. I love that. I actually do like that. I think so there was a time when a job came up in radio. Yeah. Mandy, this girl used

to do a breakfast show. Amanda Catalano. No, no, different Mandy. Mandy Cullen. Mandy Dunn. Handy Mandy. Nope. That's my mother. But then I thought if I go on that show, the show would be called like Mandy and Ryan. And I'm like, no, because that's when I'm with mom, it's Mandy and Ryan. Oh, it was like, I was too, the names are the two same. It was just too weird. And every, you imagine coming off the back of the song, oh, you're listening to Mandy and Ryan. And I'd be like, oh, yeah.

It's like when people are in a relationship with someone with the same name. No, no, no. I'm like that is so, I just can't. No, absolutely not. Like, no, that's so weird. I'm pretty sure in my high school, Alexandra Oxnum was with Alexander Hunter

and there was Alex and Alex and everyone was like, well, that's not okay. Yeah. That's not okay. Well, I just can't, I just can't imagine. Obviously everyone's saying the same thing. So I should just say it. Have you fucked a Tony?

No. Well, you think like, would you scream your own name? How strange. Or like if you were fucking someone who's like name was the same as your dad's or something like that, like too strange. I just, I just don't think I've never fucked a Rodney so and that's a shame yeah for all the Rodney's out there we've dined with the Rodney in Chicago yes and Rodney's tickles Palmer of course there's a lot of good Rodney's going a lot of good rods not enough time I'm

always saying that and these chains I mean I could get enough rods if I wanted how many rods do you think I could fit in here? The limit does not exist. I'm done. No parent of mine is safe on this podcast. I love you so much. We're back tomorrow. Tomorrow, one of the great segments.

My new favorite segment. That's not my job. That's not my job. That's not my job. That's not my job. That's not my job. That's not my job. That's not my job. Things you have to do at work that definitely weren't in the job description. Yeah. Or, weren't your job.

They weren't your job. They weren't your job. Weren't your job or not your job? They weren't your job. Job. Job. That was just to change the tense for how we were saying. Theme song pending.
