A few days ago, I was at the office by myself. tell me what you did that's a lot of white stuff in there you know what I'm saying
Starting point is 00:01:11 Hey it's Erin from Pachna, Victoria I'm Lucy from Taverstock in the UK My name is Claudia Lowe I'm from Royal Georgia and I agree with this podcast Welcome to the podcast, I'm Ryan. This is Tony. It is the Tony and Ryan podcast. Happy hump day, sluts. And I've got two sexy secrets to spill right off the bat.
Starting point is 00:01:43 Too sexy. Tony might be wearing some black baggy pants and a black baggy t-shirt. But she's wearing a sexy red bra underneath. True or false. Because all my other underwear is dirty. Yeah. And Tony says, is it too much? Is it too sexy?
Starting point is 00:02:03 Yeah. It does. And the answer is yes. What I will say is that maybe there's something about wearing like kind of slutty, sexy underwear because it does make you feel a bit like a secret agent. Are you a secret agent? Imagine. After all this.
Starting point is 00:02:20 time I'm actually a CIA agent? What would you be investigating? Um, Charles for VPN fraud. Yes. Yeah, that sounds pretty good actually. Um, Pippa for insider trading. Oh, and she would do. The other, I reckon she's got little earpieces that go back to someone. Yeah. They're big honkers. Look at those. Big Frenchy. Um, the other sexy secret is that Pippa pretends that's Tony's dog that she doesn't know me and then as soon as Tony's fiancé left the house then she came over and started getting me up in my face she honestly like to
Starting point is 00:02:56 shut the door he's like bye everyone have a great day hadn't even started the car yet shuts the door and people runs over to Ryan and he's like oh now that he's left we can be together and because she's French oh la la yeah so it's a sexy day it's a sexy day I'm actually really feeling that I had some diarrhea before but I'm back now
Starting point is 00:03:14 just a real sexy day It's a sexy day Now I think I don't know if sex is the word But you're going to love this Okay So for those of you playing along at home We are at Tony's house
Starting point is 00:03:27 Because you've broken your foot You've had surgery You're in a big moon boot I'm on my way up Well the doc you are You are actually doing great And the doctor has said You will be in Birx by November
Starting point is 00:03:37 Uh huh Yep so we've got a countdown website Birksbynovember dot com Have you been to burks dot com recently Oh no To check the countdown And without giving anything away Make sure the volume's turned up on your phone
Starting point is 00:03:51 Oh my fucking God Okay, hang on There might be a little play button Beirks by November Heal that bone Burks by November Foot Strong as Stone Be healed real soon
Starting point is 00:04:13 No more big crack We're really sorry, sorry, sorry, you took that stack. It just loops. Oh my God. Burksbynovember.com. Beautiful work by Tom Wood. Tom Wood, yeah, very nice singing. From, of all the things to give a fuck about fame.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Thank you very much for that, Tom. I also have to give a little shout-up to a. another update on the website. A lot of people have commented on at the bottom of this website that it said built by Charles. A bit of an update built by Charles, but all copyright remains Tony and Ryan as he was working when he built it.
Starting point is 00:05:04 That's a good update. Yeah, he got a lawyer's letter from us. So I read this article the other day. Yeah. You're joking. And it's about Birkenstocks. And it's sort of like this young gens.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Do you know what we should buy Birken stocks? Do they, oh, sorry. Have I fucked your punchline again? No, but it is, uh, no, no, no, no, no, no, it just as Tom Wood and I were writing that song, we also made that gag. Because is it a publicly lucid company? It would be worth a fortune, eh?
Starting point is 00:05:40 Well, they're having... Do you know that Birken's... Sorry, did you know that Bergen stocks sold out globally? during COVID. Insane. Like, you could not get them. And when I bought you that pair of burks, it was the only pair in the world that were like that color and that size.
Starting point is 00:05:57 So I got some burks the other day because they're just in my... You bought the Boston ones? The clothes. Yeah. But they were so hard to get the right size because they're like all sold out and stuff. So I had to get a, I took a risk. They didn't have it in my size. So I got the narrow foot in my size.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Oh, you. You've got a slender foot. Yeah, that's what I thought. That's what I thought. So I got myself some, Bridget, Lil, yours were in stock, and my uncle Dave. So we're all burked up. You in November.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Oh. You're not Birx by October. I think you've misread the situation. So are they're coming for me in November or? Yeah, why don't you put your order in? They'll be Birx by November. Do you know how hard it's been for me to not sing that song for us? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:46 It's very, very catchy. And then I said, Charles, what's are you on? He kind of went, I don't really get burks. He's young. Yeah. But here's the thing, young people, and this is the article I was reading. So I'm not getting any burks. Is that one?
Starting point is 00:06:57 Sorry. What month is it? But did you order me some? Are they coming as a surprise? What month is it now? Okay. Of course, Lily got books. What month is it now?
Starting point is 00:07:09 Oh, Lily. It's a month. What's what would you like? No, you know what? No, don't. Don't. No. What perks did Lily get?
Starting point is 00:07:22 We got the same. But then Lily deliberately was like, I'll get a different colour because I want the same as you. Yeah. It was actually kind of rude how she said her. You guys got matching birds? No, we didn't get matching because I didn't want to be matching with Ryan. Is that offensive to say? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:40 I would have matched with you, but I didn't get the opportunity. Well. I wasn't giving the option. You're confusing Birx during October for Birx by November. If there is not a fucking surprise pair of Birx coming, I'm quitting the podcast. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:57 And that's fair. And that's fair. And that's fair. Now, I'm reading about Birx because they are having a bit of like a moment. They are. And this Gen Z writer was like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:08:06 so like this new company called Birkenstocks, you know, been around a few years just popping off. And someone, kind of goes, I don't think they're a new company. No. So I've actually got,
Starting point is 00:08:20 it's called that Who's Older Quiz? That's fun. And you're going to freak the fuck out about this. Okay, I love it. What's older? Yep. Birkenstocks or jeans?
Starting point is 00:08:35 And not like a brand, just jeans. So it was the first Birkenstock made before the first pair of jeans? Like legitimate Birkenstock brand. shoe, was that before jeans? Yeah. And either way, it's not a new company. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:08:52 Yeah. Well, if only I'd recently gotten a new pair of burks, because I know that it has the year on the box, because the Birken box has, it's blue and white and it's got like since blah. When, how long have jeans been around? It has to, it has to be jeans, right? jeans the first pair of jeans were made in 1873 fucking hell
Starting point is 00:09:18 a hundred years after the first Birkenstock was made in 1774 is that just the fucking craziest thing you've ever heard in your life I must say the thought of a brand existing in the 17 100s. Pre-tick-Tock. Pre-broken foot.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Can you believe that? By the Birkenstock brothers. It was they're both, their two brothers and their last name's Birkenstock. It gives it away when you say the Birkenstock brothers, doesn't it? Yeah. It doesn't really need the explainer after it. Sorry, I'm lashing out about the Berks.
Starting point is 00:10:04 All good. Do you want to keep playing the What's Older quiz? I do. I actually love it. I can't believe. When did you say jeans are in? invented? 1873.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Was that like by Levi's or like denim was invented then? Great question. What is older? Credit cards or frisbys? Frisbys. The first frisbee was flung in 1957. That is surprisingly recent. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:36 But the first credit card, the credit cards are older. The first credit card was 1950. What? Diner's Club in 1950. It was just a cardboard card that you could use at a handful of New York City restaurants. And that was like the beginning of what credit cards are. And because isn't Diners Club, is that now American Express or they were linked or something?
Starting point is 00:11:01 Yeah, there was something. I don't know. But yeah, that was the OJ. And it was literally just a cardboard card. So Dinah's Club was quite literally for dining. Yeah. At restaurants. And what you was like, you had a tab and then you... I guess so, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:14 That's wild. And a few New York cities ago, yeah, yeah, cool. Can you imagine how hot shit you would have been? In 1950, you walk in there and you go, pop that on my dinas club. I'm in the diners club. Isn't that good? That's madman shit. Wine ya, dana, 69, your dinas club put inside you.
Starting point is 00:11:35 That was their tagline. That's what they were always saying. A frisbee feels like that. That's been around for a long time. What's older? Contact lenses or the Eiffel Tower? Now, I need you to be more specific. The structure, not the manoeuvre.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Yeah, okay. That's been around since the Roman times. Caesar. Trojan, the Contals. contact lenses or the Eiffel Tower. It's, oh, I'm going to do the wrong one again. It's got to be the Eiffel Tower. Well, it's not really a clue at all.
Starting point is 00:12:20 You need one to see the other. That's the flu. They're only one year apart. So it's like, you know. I mean, immediately my mind goes to Eiffel Tower because it's been there for fucking... Since 1889. Like the year that you were born. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:12:39 which is the year after the first contact lens was made in 1888. What do you think, I mean, you probably Google this, but what? Stretched sheep testicle. What was the first iteration of a contact lens? Yeah. Stretch sheep testicle. How did they put the prescription into it? I don't know if there was a prescription.
Starting point is 00:13:00 It was just like, it makes, like, you know, a real basic, like shorter or longer or something or something to clear it or. Yeah. But contact lenses are older than the Eiffel Tower. It's crazy to think that people had eye problems back then. Like, that feels like kind of a new issue. Seeing? Nah, like...
Starting point is 00:13:22 Like you just cop it back then? Kind of. How fucked is that, though? Well, because... But old people had the monocle. Yeah, and... But it was... Well, they just tie you to a chair and throw in the lake like you're a witch or something.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Well, yeah, because if you can't see, they go, well, why not? Is the devil? in your head and then they kill you. Yeah. Well, Benjamin Franklin, he invented the bifocal. Did he? You can Google that.
Starting point is 00:13:50 That's real. Nintendo or Tupperware? Tupperware, 1,000%. Tupperware began in 1946. Good on them. Nintendo began in 1889. The same year as the I would tower.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Yeah. Yeah. A hundred years before Taylor Allison Swift was born. There's never been a time where the Eiffel Tower or Nintendo existed without the other. And you could see both with your sheep's testicle in your eye. And isn't that beautiful? Pop that on your dance clock. Now, this sounds like a joke I would say, but it's not.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Tupperware was invented by Earl Tupper. And his first thing was made commercial. Like they first started selling his things in 1946. Right, two more to go. Sorry, but Tupperware, because it's like, Earl Tapper, it's the Tapperware. Yeah. But that sounds crazy because Tapperware as like an idea is so normal now. Like even if it's not Tapperware, you go like, oh, pop that in a Tapperware.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Guess what Charles Band-Aid invented. Tell me. What was made first? Yep. The first call from a mobile phone or the first email sent. The mobile, I reckon? Because a cell phone was around, oh, no, email. The first phone call on a mobile was made in 1973 by Martin Cooper, who created Motorola.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Oh, the Z-flip. And the first email was sent earlier than that, two years before the first phone call in 1971. Surprisingly close, once again, like the contact lenses and the awful tower. Ray Tomlinson sent some code to some guy. In the email? Yeah. Oh, and then we get wonderful movies like you've got mail, etc.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Meg Ryan would never have met Tom Hanks if it wasn't for Ray Tomlinson. That movie is so good. The movie you've got mail is incredible. I think you're thinking of sleeping in Seattle. I haven't seen that. We have, if you've seen you've got male. It's the same movie. Is it?
Starting point is 00:16:12 Meg Ryan has a meat cute, cute meat with Tom Hanks and that's it. Are you thinking of when Harry met Sally? No, that's with... Billy Crystal. Yeah. Yeah. Which is such a good movie. Sleepless in Seattle is the same movie as you've got male.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Oh, no. Like when I... Oh. The fashion. You sat next to her son on the plane. Her son on the plane. Yeah. And everybody right was looking at him like, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:16:44 And we were like, who the fuck is that? And then there was like this group of people. Turns out it was the entire production crew and actors from that show The Boys. And just Tony and I. And Ryan and I. Yeah. And we were just sitting there and we're like, who are they? Like what's going on?
Starting point is 00:17:00 They're all like kind of pali. People are like, oh, that's a brother. John Belushi had a fight in the airport with a dog. With a dog. Yeah. Huge day for us. Canada rules, man. Yeah, it fucking does.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Finally, what came first? Me or Ryan? Hey, and what did the world start coming in first? Condoms or Oreos? I've got to say, condoms must have been around longer than an Oreo. That's stuff technology. That's got to be new. The first Oreo was in 1912.
Starting point is 00:17:34 No fucking way. Yep. See, it's an educational podcast. It really is. Well, when was the first condom? 1640. And was that shaped skin as well? Probably.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Oh, you probably couldn't tell you condom from your contact legs. Have a look at this. Oh, it's happening again. My eyes pregnant. It's Erin from Packing and Victoria. I'm Lucy from Tavistock in the UK. My name is Claudia Lowe. I'm from Rome, Georgia.
Starting point is 00:18:04 And you are listening to Tony and Ryan. What a great game. I love that. We only just realised that Tony got every single one wrong. Yeah, and I'm actually fine with it. Yeah. Yeah. It's the fun we had along the way.
Starting point is 00:18:25 It is. Yeah, the real victory is the friends we made along the way. Exactly right. A massive shout-out to a few of our champion typers. Oraya 86. Oraya. Nathaniel RX Bay. Love that.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Emily King, Cassie L, David Stark, Daniel Moss. Kate Moss's brother. Sierra, Deirbon, Goods, Sierra, Jonathan D'Artagnon, and Sel Forster. Now, thank you very much for being part of our Patreon. Very, very cool. Next Monday, there's a huge announcement coming. But there's actually a huge announcement coming right now because just before Ryan said,
Starting point is 00:19:00 I have something to say that's going to change your opinion of me. And I must say, it can only go up from here. So, can't get worse, surely. So, people share their confessions with us. Yeah, anonymously. Anonymously. Oh, but even like their stories and they share their tales. And I've had my moments where I've shared horrific things.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Me too. So of you. And it's a safe space. The thing about the tarp community is that for us and for all the other tarpers? This is something I should take to the grave. But I was like, if we expect people to share with us their stories, its own like... Two way straight. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:47 And so I'm... And so I kind of just felt like, because as soon as I did it, I went, oh, Ryan. And then I was like, we asked people to come forward. And I just, like, I just, it would be inauthentic for me to not just put it out there. And because maybe someone else has done it. It's sounding less likely that that's the case. Since we've been working a lot when doing the show from your house. It's getting to all of us.
Starting point is 00:20:20 A few days ago and I've got family at home and we're in your house here and we're all here. I was at the office by myself. Yeah. And I'd jerked off. I was like, I haven't been by myself for a while. and I'm just feeling a bit silly and a bit naughty. And I, like, I just was like, I deserve this. And as soon as I finished, I was like, I was like, what?
Starting point is 00:20:57 I was like, Ryan Jonathan done. Post-nart clarity. What have you done? Now, what have you, Ryan John done? Now. Come here, girlfriend. Sorry, Pippa's trying to get away from you. The name of this segment is we don't yuck other people's young.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Yeah. There's two stories. One is me the other day at the office. Yep. And another one is what I saw another guy doing in the Eltham Woolworth Supermarket Car Park the other night. Which would we like first? I'm really excited to hear your story. So I think I want to hear about the other guy first.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Which one's worse? Or is that what we're deciding? I think that's a great question. take into both of these. Okay. I saw a guy in his car at the Altham Woolworth's car park. Yeah? Jerking off.
Starting point is 00:21:51 I walked out of the supermarket back to my car and just walked past the car and he was jerking off and he'd just bought something from the Woolworth supermarket. Would anyone like to guess what he bought? A veggie-mite cheese scroll from the bakery section. Any other guesses? Lil's just terrified and doesn't want to speak and fair. Yeah. Or was it like fruit that he was fucking.
Starting point is 00:22:16 He had a packet of Jats biscuits and a huge family-sized tub of hummus. Fuck, you don't want to get those mixed up? But I actually, and I was, like... Well, you need your protein, aren't you? I was actually like, is this the most fucked up thing? Like, I kind of like walk past and went, and then kind of got to mic and I was like I found me so I was talking of hot like
Starting point is 00:22:40 you know like it just took me a while for it all and I was like is this the most fucked up thing I've seen or the perfect evening because you know how we've had the combination really takes your breath away but you know how like over the last few weeks we've had some like really cold nights
Starting point is 00:22:57 and then we've also had some balmy evenings like we're between seasons it was like this warm balmy night there was a bit of a sunset it gets the smell in the air yeah I know what you're talking about in the air. Smells like Christmas. Yes,
Starting point is 00:23:08 a bit of Christmas smell. There was like a bit of purple in the air. He was, he was eating, a bit of purple in his pants. He was eating hummus, just fucking sliding one through. And I was just like,
Starting point is 00:23:18 maybe this guy is just having the perfect evening. And who am I to judge? Because we don't yuck other people's yum on this show. Yeah. Yeah. No, so true. Hang on,
Starting point is 00:23:30 well, let me ask you this, Tony. If not that, what is a better evening? I couldn't. Do you like Jats? I do.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Do you like hummus? Yeah. Do you like jerkin off? Yeah. So why don't we all fucking stop judging this? Jatts and a jerkin. They're called savoy's here. The Jats?
Starting point is 00:23:54 Jats are called savoy's here. The Red Box? Yeah. Oh, we always fuck that up, don't we? No, no, no, but they're called savoy's here, but they're Jats everywhere else. Oh, okay. Well, I'm a Jats guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Yeah. It's. It seems like it. Okay, I'm going to show you what I did. That is absolutely crazy that, and I do, wouldn't, okay, now that I've heard that, I'm going to try and decide whether I want to make a judgment about whether what you did is worse than that. Is there, I would hate, hate, hate to describe a Venn diagram to you. Please.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Is there any crossover between the two stories? Yeah, okay. Yeah, all right. Tell me what you did. Now, should I not look at you? No, no, this is going to sound fucked but I'm actually going to show you a picture.
Starting point is 00:24:49 And the picture isn't of me doing anything, but it explains what I had with me. What's a flashlight called again? What is it? And you know how sometimes you just like, okay what I'm going to say is two very normal things but like maybe not together jerking off and hummus I get it all right so what are you showing what are you showing when there was no one else around in the office the other day yeah it was late in the afternoon
Starting point is 00:25:25 I was like you wouldn't would you're feeling a bit silly yeah yeah you've been watch out i did and i'm actually not afraid to say this i enjoyed it i can see why you now that you've seen it and don't be judgmental just go with me yep can you see how that would work oh one thousand percent but no one else has probably done that though at work Not at work. And not something you would admit. I can't imagine. Not in Melbourne.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Not in this town. And with my history, I shouldn't be proud of it. No, that's a lot of white stuff in there. You know what I'm saying? Ryan has mixed. A chai latte pouch With a Ness Cafe vanilla latte pouch Did you sheet yourself all afternoon?
Starting point is 00:26:44 No. Did you jerk off while you were drinking? No. Jerked off after? No. Jirked off at all. The thing I didn't come with the other guys, we both bought them from Woolworths.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Charles bought them from Woolworth. The thing that they had in common is that Charles was there for both. And you get to decide. And what character Charles was? So I felt like a vanilla chai. You need to know that this is a safe space between you and I because remember when I said to you about a pouchy coffee? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:16 And I went, safe space. But sometimes a latte pouch, fucks. I wanted a chai latte and I could only find a spiced chai latte and then a vanilla latte. And I was like, well, one plus one equals a million. Yeah. Well, that would have been real creamy and good. Was it really yum?
Starting point is 00:27:34 It was fucking delicious. It would have been so good. Yeah. And they're good because they've got heaps of sugar in them. Yeah. Like, you know, that's why it's yum. And it's got like the milk powder in it so it's super frothy and creamy. Yeah, but then I creamed the milk in the whizzy thingy and then poured it into that.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Nice. Yeah. Did you clean the milk frother out after because you often don't? And it gets really sticky. Lil, what did it? What did Ryan do in the office yesterday? Oh. Yeah, you jerked off.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Stop telling us. Washed up all the dishes. For one. That's not what I asked. And that's the answer you got. No, I did. I think that we just, just a little rinse of stuff before it goes in the sink. Mm.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Because then you don't really have to wash it. Mm. Yeah. But the milk stuff are like straight away. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I must say no one.
Starting point is 00:28:33 used those dishes that you washed up since so they haven't been inspected they could still be covered in cum is what we're saying no you know what I absolutely love it and I fully endorse it the only thing that could have made that better
Starting point is 00:28:48 is a fucking wank in a box of hummus yeah you went I wish I thought of that yeah I was like you run to something here pal here I'm drinking coffee's like a loser yeah I like that yeah well thank you for allowing me to share that with you oh safe space and as someone who loves coffee and lives in
Starting point is 00:29:07 Melbourne yeah there's a lot of taboos in one there and as also someone who has been working from my house so my house is always full of people and then when you guys aren't here there's other people here someone looking after me or torbs is working home I get it that you just can't have a coffee in peace yeah so true so true you just can't rip that sashay open, you know? Are you trying to get rid of us? No, I'm just saying. Do you want me to leave you alone with a chai...

That is like every person's dream is that their like favorite thing makes the money. Yep. More importantly, says Tori, I'm meeting some amazing people getting to share my art and finally finding my community of people. I credit hearing all the start the fucking blog stories on the pod with helping me give me some courage to just do it. That is the whole point.
Starting point is 00:32:20 That is why they love to see it part of the show is a thing. It's why Start the fucking blog became a thing because you just need to do it. You need to fucking start it. I love that. Tori says my amazing husband has been so supportive and encouraging and you love to see it. I chatted back and forth with Tori because this is on Patreon. We chatted a little bit and I said, oh, do you have a website or something? And so it's www. Tori-covaricart.com.
Starting point is 00:32:49 We'll pop the link in the thing or whatever. And her Instagram as well that we can share. Fuck yeah. So, I mean, go check it out. Even, you don't have to buy something, but like small businesses, the biggest thing is like following on Instagram or sharing some work or even liking and saving pose. And that goes for all of your friends.
Starting point is 00:33:08 You know, I read this thing the other day and it was like, and I guess it feels kind of large at the moment because like the Taylor Swift albums just come out and you're so willing to support this artist who you love and has probably gotten you through like crazy times in your life. But then like when our friends start a business, we either we don't we buy something once or whatever but like the biggest things that we can do to support small businesses is liking and sharing and saving their posts or sending to a friend or whatever so even though you don't think that it means anything because you're not spending money
Starting point is 00:33:44 it does mean something because if you can share it and someone does see it you never know Charles can you please transcribe that and make it Tony's next LinkedIn post we're hot on LinkedIn at the moment yeah did you see that I shared your I did. It was huge. Big boost for me on LinkedIn and that. Yeah. And I also just thought that what I shared it with was comedy.
Starting point is 00:34:06 What's comedy is your photo from 2011? I know. I was like, is that Tony's daughter? Literally so skinny. So young. Like, so young. Who's this young upstart in the industry? But if I change it now, I just think that we really hard to say goodbye to.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Yeah, no, leave it there. I just don't know if I can. I should change it, though. I'm really catfishing. No, I'm for it. I like it. I really am catfishing on there. I like it.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Tomorrow we've got normal or nah, including, I think every person under the age of five does this, but Tarpa Molli is an adult and still does. Oh, I love it. And also, we might need a prop. Yes. And don't forget, on Monday, a big announcement. And rumor has it.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Do we need costumes for the announcement? The costume store has been phoned. That's all I can say. It's big. That's all I can say. And so is the announcement. All right. We'll see you tomorrow.
