Charles isn't even here. They have an entire section on their menu. Charles isn't even here. They have an entire section on their menu dedicated to grilled and fried cheeses.

A grilled cheese section. Grilled and fried. And that's not grilled and fried. Like, you know how Americans say grilled cheese, like a toasted cheese set. No, this is like a bit of cheese that's been grilled. Oh Charles, we're actually doing a podcast. They're just coming in.

Charles, we decided to start because I couldn't hold it in. But listen, you haven't even heard the best bit yet bit yet. How have I not heard the best bit? That sounds amazing. I know. Fried crumbed camembert. Isn't that the most amazing thing you've ever heard in your fucking life? Crumbed. So like I'm guessing it's like panko crumbed. Like it's a snitzel of camembert. Crumbed? So like, I'm guessing it's like panko crumbed. Like it's a schnitzel of camembert. Oh!

Imagine that as a parmishana. But inside is just camembert? So it's a fried crumbed camembert and then it's got napoli sauce and more cheese on the top. And a little bit of ham. That is... We joke, but like... Charles. That fucks.

That looks amazing. Oh my god, I can't believe we have to make a podcast now. And I'm looking at... Oh, Ryan, bit of you. Okay. Should we do a segment on the podcast where we just read a menu out? Okay, look at this. Send us your favourite restaurant menu. We just read a menu out. Okay, look at this. In YouTube or the episode thread. Send us your favorite restaurant menu.

Yeah, and we'll go through. And we'll read it out. Nice. Pork ribs, Balkan style ribs cooked to perfection on chargrills served with chips and smoky barbecue sauce. Ryan, I'm about to show you something that's going to make you cum. I've already heard smoky barbecue sauce and ribs, so it's going to be... That is come town.

Um, that looks unreal. I would, I would, I could go a bit of cheese. I just had some,

I had a little bit of cheese and crackers while you were in the toilet. Not related. I just happened to have it while you were, I was like, oh, have a quick snack. What's that, the thing with the dog and the whistle, the bell? Pavlov's dog. When you go to the toilet, I need cheese.

Yeah, I go and piss, Tony has a little snack. It was actually, you know that yum Like crackers and cheese I've been having so not all the site but like actual pieces of cheese with those salty little rice crackers Oh, no, just the little salami one like the sweaty one. No, I don't do the do the salami ones. They're a bit expensive Yeah, they fuck but they see you coming. I might as well go to the Balkan restaurant. Yeah, buy them in Balkan. I They see you coming. I might as well go to the Balkan restaurant. Yeah, buy them in Balkan. I actually do buy those rice crackers in bulk.

It's a 10 packet from Woolworths, Dairy Works 10 packer. It's very good. And dare I say tonight, we will be ordering in Balkan when we're down there. Dairy, I say, all that cheese. Today's good. It's got some energy. You've had a hot sleep. Yeah, we're feeling good. And you're wearing that jacket that I absolutely love.

You look amazing. That's me helping. Sorry for you, Kelly. You did yell very loudly. I did. Because I loudly love you. I actually love you so much. I know. Did you know that?

But you can separate the jacket from the man. You can love me. I wish I fucking could. See? Yeah. No, the jacket is a vibe. It's just different. That's not a last thing. Did you hear that?

Did you hear it? I teed I heard it after. I'm fine with it. Sorry, as you know, it takes me a while sometimes. Yeah, we're there. We're there. Hey, I want to talk about parenting milestones. And first, I believe you and Pippa have had a moment.

Ryan yesterday goes, Oh, well talk about these parenting milestones. I was like, Oh God, I have to think of one. Ryan goes, Okay. So you really fucking told me under the bus. No, you go, I've got one. I went, sure. Well, I think that a milestone for us with Pippi was when we first left her with someone. Yeah, that's huge. Like that way, cause getting her, like, I mean, when we got Pippi, cause she was living with another family who like wanted to breed with her. And we were like, no, no, no. Like we don't really want that for her and we aren't going to breed with her. We'll pay for her to come and we'll desex her.

Like, we're not going to do that. Tony getting Pippa is very similar to Mandy getting me. Yes. But we went to look at this dog. This is actually crazy. We went, when we went to look at Pippa, literally then the woman's like, cool. So when you get her home tonight, and I was like, we're taking this dog home? Yeah.

Same mum had no notice. She'd have to fucking go get you right away. Yeah. And then so like, like. What do they eat? I don't know. So Torb's held people in the car and I drove to a pet shop and we bought a bed and toys and like a bowl and the collar

and stuff, but we didn't have anything. Maybe it was the same pet barn mum took later. What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? To be fair, a little dog bed with a little baby, it's the same size.

Was the woman called Christine? Oh. Christine with a Z? Yeah. Oh. How was she? How was she? Oh, she's wonderful.

She's blonde hair. Oh, she must have had a rinse. But yeah, I reckon that a bit. Great. She's blonde hair. Oh, she must have had a rinse. But yeah, I reckon that a milestone for us, like as the parents, I think was leaving Pippa for the first time. Yeah. Nah, well, so.

Do you agree though? Working mother, was the first time. What? The first time you left Odie with someone for the night. Was that like a big moment? Oh yeah. Yeah. We still haven't done a full night.

Yeah. Yeah. I feel like that the stereo. It would be a lot though. Yeah. The stereo. Very good. Yeah.

Fuck, see how good this is. I would fucking take Mabes for the night. I know. It's not about lack of people's offering. It's more just the family feeling comfortable leaving. We love her and we just want to take care of her. Nice to save a family. Yeah, I'd be fine with it.

The family is not ready yet. What if I just slept on the floor of Mabel's room and you guys- With me? Because that's where I've been the last week. No, no, with Mabie. So Mabes and I... You're going to come over to sleepover? Well, and I sleepover and I do the night shift and you guys just...

I'll put some earplugs in, Mabel and I will just, you know... Oh no, she's got a sound machine anyway. Yeah, so we won't hear what's going on in the next room. You know what I mean? Okay, this... If you guys wanted to have a night out or night in. Well, a bit of a milestone, my ma- Pfft. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Oh, why didn't you say so? We're all confused with you. Innuendo.

Mabel and I could hang out and I'll do the 3am. I don't mind. Yeah. Cause I'm not going. You got no place to be. Exactly. And also it's different if you're doing it every night. One night, easy fucking ass.

So, okay. Tonight we'll go to the Balkans for the beef. And the cheese. And the cheese. Yep. Then we'll watch, I think the Hawks the Balkans for the beef. And the cheese. And the cheese. Yep. Then we'll watch, I think the Hawks are playing in Collingwood tonight. Let's watch that.

Yep. You can put Mabel down, do bath and bed and stuff. And story, me and Bridge will go read our own bedtime story. And then you can do the 3pm. Pick up. Yeah, and the morning. It's the thinker girls, and then the morning, like when she wakes up in the morning and wants to party, you can hang out and do breakfast and stuff. That's what I'm saying.

Yeah. And mum and dad will have a little sleep in. Yeah. No. And Mabes and I will make bacon and eggs. I'll make her a little smoothie. No, she likes that. And her little, the thing with the big mouth hole on it, you know, but the bottle

and it's like specifically for like smoothies so that you can like suck the smoothie out. It's not just like things with a mouth hole on it. No, but it's like the you know, the toddler like fucking smoothie cups. No, that's what those table chairs are called. Oh, what is it called? Oh, working mother can't even remember what it's called. Discussing so big. Oh, do you know yesterday I met someone and we had a 10 minute conversation about prams.

Subo, sorry. I know. Where was it? When we were working with that team. Yes. Yep. Yep. Yep.

We would just started chatting about prams. About prams. And did you contribute much to that conversation? I said, oh, how nice is the bugaboo? Isn't that the Cadillac of prams? And he went, oh yeah. And he goes, what about the Umbarella style? That pops up one hand, done, in.

And we talked about prams for quite some time. You would be great hanging out with Mabel because she loves to chat about prams. Yeah, and I could hang out with Mabel and the babies. And she loves going down her slide with Aunt Toddy. She does, she does. She did do that. I pay $6 for a coffee from Mabel's.

Yeah, so Mabel's got a cafe at the moment of their house and the prices that she's charging is exorbitant. Astronomical. She's saving for trying to move out. Yeah. And also- She's like, mom and dad never go out. I need to get some space. Her little slide. She wants some room from you guys. I try to tell her she's got it pretty good at home.

But yeah, seeing Tony sitting at the bottom of Mabel's slide and Mabel just sliding into her. Yep. Loves it. Yeah. Our bodies are different sizes, as you could imagine of a two-year-old and a 31-year-old. Yeah. And so it's a little bit small for me, but we don't let it stop us.

Tony, you go. No, I don't think so. That's okay. Yeah. I'll take M we don't let it stop us. Tony, you go. No, I don't think so. That's okay. Yeah, I'll take Mabes. Yeah, all right. The milestone. The milestone. So me leaving Pippa was our milestone.

Well, staying the night is a big one. Yeah. The stereotypical ones are like, the day they're born. Maybe you witnessed their first steps. You hear their first words. Yeah, or the first giggle. That's a good one.

The biggest parenting milestone though, is none of those things. The biggest parenting milestone is the first time you drop a full name. Tony Felicia Lodge. How dare you speak to my beautiful girl like that? Sophie Estelle Woods. I thought you were about to say Sophie Estelle Dunn. Like Charles William Patterson. In news I will surprise no one. Charles's middle name is William.

The fourth. Charles William Patterson, the fourth junior. Lily middle name, last name. Lily Elizabeth Lodge. That's my mum's name. Um, Lily Rose Allsepp. Lily Louise Allsep. Lily Louise Ulsep. Every girl my age's middle name is Louise, so that's all I've got.

Victoria. Alexandra. Lucky they didn't go with that for the first name. So you're definitely a Lily. So you're an LAA. La... That was good. Yesterday, my wife, Bridget Noll Dunn,

dropped her first Mabel Betty Dunn. What did she Dunn? So we're in the car. Yeah. And Mabel has dropped her dummy like down on the floor, like down the side of the thing. Yeah. And she can't reach it. Obviously, because her fucking arm's like a fun-sized Mars bar.

Bridget's trying to lean over the back. She can't really find it either. And we're driving. Yeah. And Mabe's is kind of like cracking it a little bit. Yeah. She's like, I need like dummy, where's my dummy? And we're like, oh, you've dropped it. Well, you did it. You did it. Yeah. And so we're driving along and Bridget's like, no, if you've dropped it, then you have to learn the consequences of that. And sorry, but you'll just have to wait till we get there. So then about 15 seconds later, Bridget goes, I can pull over if we want to just get the

dummy because it feels like you can't, turns out you can't reason with a two year old. So true. And so- And also like, I'm not being funny, but the consequences are her crying and you have to deal with that too. Yeah. Yeah. And so we're on Bell Street. Oh shit.

Yeah. Chaos. She's screaming, probably 10 minutes before we finally like decide we're going to stop. I finally find a, pull across three lanes and find a place to pull into. She's fully cracking it and then Bridget's like, fine. Goes around, like pull over. She opens her door, gets out, goes to Mabel's door, opens the door. The dummy's sitting on Mabel's lap. And what did Bridget say? Mabel Bettydump.

You snake. Now Mabes and I had a bit of a debrief if you'd like to listen. I would love to. Because then I said, did it actually fall down or was it on your lap? I'm in my lap. Where was the dummy? On my lap. The whole time it was on your lap? Where was the dummy? The whole time was on your lap. Did you find it? Are you sure it was you that found it? Who did find it? Yeah. That is so cute. So then she's like I found it on my lap and Bridges like no you didn't. No. But I also love like Ryan I found it on my lap and Bridgette's like, no, you didn't. No. But I also love like Ryan.

I found it. Like, yeah, like, you know, when you got no, I did that. That was me. It was on my app. Where was the dummy? Oh, my God. Also, you just sound like you're fucking so unfazed. And you're just like, yeah, I'm like, you can keep yelling and screaming. And it's fine. And then you're just going to turn, yeah. Because I'm like, you can keep yelling and screaming. It's fine. And then- You're just going to turn up the young gravy, baby.

Yeah. And then Bridget's cracking it. Yeah. Mabel's cracking it. Everyone's losing their shit. Where's the dummy? I'm trying to peek back going, oh, I can't really see it on the ground.

Are you sure? And I'm just like, I was just an observer. Because you're driving the car. You're the Uber driver in this situation. So then Bridget drops the Mabel Betty done. And then she goes, I think that's the first time I've done that. That's really beautiful. That was the first time I full three barrel named her. And so what I would love is in the YouTube comments of today's episode thread, what was the moment as you as a parent that you triple barreled them? Yeah. When you gave them the full name.

Yeah. I don't think I ever got a Tony Louise lodge, but I definitely got growled that Tony Louise. Yeah. That was my mom's like. Even just dropping a middle name. Tony Louise. Like the growl though, there's something about the way that they say it.

Like it's the. I think you've triple name me a few times. Ryan Jonathan Dunn. Yeah. Yeah. I have. Yeah. I definitely have. Can we even remember what the first... I don't know.

I think it's when we opened Uber Eats and I was like, we wouldn't... We remember when we used to go to Black Gold, that cafe in Richmond. Oh, do you remember that? Oh my God. It was a good triple barrel. I was like, hey, do you want to get the toasted cheese and bacon sandwich? And you go,? Oh my god. It was a good triple barrel. I was like, do you, hey, do you want to get the toasted cheese and bacon sandwich? And you go, Ryan Jonathan. You wouldn't, would ya? So sometimes it can be good.

Yeah. But I'd love to hear your stories because I will never forget mine because it was so fucking funny. Hey, this is Alex from Richmond, Virginia, and you're listening to Coney and Ryan. A massive shout out to a few of our champion tabas over at our Patreon. Sorry, I just got overtooken by like an insufferable ****. Chelsea England, good on you Chelsea. Marshall Polikovski, love it so much. Emily Lotdog, showdown. Beckmarshall, love it. Donny Daddy 97. Amanda Sekulich and Corey.

Oh, end on a bit of a low, Corey. Fuck you. Yeah, Corey is a bit of a... Corey, bit of a snorey. Has anyone met a Cory they've liked? I actually went to primary school with Cory Green, who was such a sweet heart. Yeah, and his mom was so nice.

Oh no, I know. There was a Cory in Bunbury. She was nice. Oh! She was a legend. That Cory, yeah, yeah, yeah. I should have taken that back. I've never met a Cory. I've hated.

Oh, so this one. No, we love Cory. But if you're watching on YouTube, all of the tiers of Patreon are currently rolling across the screen. Yep. This is a character I'm working on. Oh.

And how do you think it's going? Needs work. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Also 78% of people that watch on YouTube are subscribed. What's going? Needs work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Also 78% of people that watch on YouTube are subscribed. So if that's you, thank you so much.

And if it's not, fuck you, you're probably Corey. No. No, Corey's a champion. Yeah, yeah, good. So if you're part of the 22 that's not subscribed, it actually helps us continue to make this show for free. So, although I wouldn't subscribe to that though. What about this? Oh, cool. You did a face, but Sophie liked it. It means a lot to us. So Charles, what did you think?

Split the difference. Yeah, I was impartial. What about this? No. What about this? Okay, Tony. What about this? Ah! Okay, Tony. Would you? Ha! She's gone. She's left the building. You go have a sit on the couch over there for a moment.

I just honked my own boob. Yes. Both of them. And if that doesn't get that 22% subscribed, I don't know what will. Yeah, what more can I do? Eat my own puss? I can't. If you could.

Geographically. Would you leave the house? No. Oh my god. I think that it would be like the first few days you'd be like, what else is there? But then I think you would get a bit over it. And you get dehydrated.

You need to go to the hospital, get a little banana bag. So you go, excuse me, can I get an IV drip? And they go, why? And you go, cause I've been going down on myself for three days straight. Cause I've been coming nonstop. I want to change what I said. Last time Tony was in a mood like this, which we love, she leaned over to me and went, have you considered being a necklace guy? Have you considered bringing a necklace into your repertoire? I think I said, have you considered adding a necklace to your look? Oh, now there's only one guy who's successfully neck laced up in the last year or so. Do you

know? Drying the Rock Johnson? No. Oh, he's got that great. This is one of the last year or so. Do you know- Drying the Rock Johnson. No. Oh. He's got that great- This is one of the great before or afters. Uh huh. Oh.

Yum. For anybody not watching, Mag Zuckerberg. Look at the difference between clean shaven, very pale Zuckerberg, to now he's got a little little beard a chain curly hair longer hair yeah like you'd fuck that guy that guy you wouldn't I would know that guy you consider maybe like if it's not like it was just a guy that looked like that yes so true um that's not your style, but like-

It's not really, but I get it. But hasn't the necklace changed his whole person? I think that there's something about, I don't wear necklaces. I like them though. Like when I, cause it's a bit of a thing now to have like a necklace stack. Yeah, that's like a lot of admin.

You wear like three, but I think that people wear them like it's their go-to all the time. You know who wears a lot of jewelry who secretly I really admire for it. And I think it's really hot and cool, but I like, don't think I could pull it off. Lily. Really? Lily wears heaps of jewelry and it's very cool.

It's the multiple earrings. Yeah. But it... Oh. And it's very cool. It's the multiple earrings. Yeah. Yeah. But it, oh. Oh my God. I wish that you could all have seen that. She goes, the hair behind the ear.

Yeah. And she often is wearing like a few gold necklaces. Sometimes she's wearing necklaces that she makes. Do you aspire to be like Lily? I do. Yeah. I just like the jewelry thing. I don't think jewelry really, I mean, not only I've never worn any jewelry in my life. Now the only jewelry I wear is my wedding ring.

Yeah. Well, that's the same value as if you wore 27 other pieces. So like pounds a pound, you know, Lily can wear 10 pieces of jewelry. A pound is not a pound. Like which like, it's not a pound heavy, is it? No, a pound for pounds is like a saying. Oh, like one to one. Yeah.

No, but like, yeah. And I just don't wear a lot of jewelry, but I really like it on other people. So do you want me to be more like Lily when you said, like, have I considered bringing a necklace into my routine? Was it adding a necklace to your look? My look? Yeah. Like to like you're like, I wear a necklace all the time. I'm that guy. So like I never take it off. I always wear a necklace when I was in high school.

Oh, the fuck. Yes, I do know about this, actually. Like I never take it off. I always wear a necklace when I was in high school. Oh The fuck yes, I do know about this actually is how embarrassing I don't think I Had definitely a lot of wooden beaded. What's the thing around your wrist cold and clip bracelet watch Bracelet watch no gotta watch Charles take your Rolex and fuck off I would have had two or three wooden bracelets. Yeah, that was a thing then. Do you think that would go with this jacket? Maybe. Except for like barley.

Charles, thin ass. What about, what about a leather press studded like cuff? Had one of those. Yeah, nice. I've also went through phases of having a long neck lace, but then I used to have like a really tight, like a choker that would probably go for like four or five years. Hot. What was the vibe of the choker?

Like what was the material? One of them was like a leather. Um, another was like just beaded, but like tight beaded. Hot, hot, hot, hot. That's cool. There was a phase where if I didn't have it on leaving the house, I know that's like, Oh, it feels like I'm naked, but I actually was like, Yeah. What do you think was the leading moment where you went,

I'm not going to put that necklace on today? I'll tell you what it was. Oh, because when you said, have I considered it, all these memories came flooding back and I don't know if I felt good or bad, but I was so committed to the tight wooden beaded necklace and I used to hate that like if it was elastic, that it would over time stretch a little bit. Absolutely, yep. So what I did is got a non-stretching material,

got it like tied on and then cut so it was just on. Oh, I love permanent jewelry. So you know who doesn't? Volleyball referees when you're not allowed to wear jewelry on the court in like proper games and stuff. Oh. So they're like, you know, it's like, in netball they'll like check your nails in football. They'll check the boot. Like there's one of those like, yep.

And obviously no jewelry on the court and blah, blah, blah. And I was like, Oh, like mine's actually like attached. Mine's attached. And like, what are you going to do? Cut off my jewelry. Yeah. And that's sort of like, but what happens if during the game it comes off and I'm like, well, it doesn't cause it's...

It can't. What did you call me? What did you call me? Now I've obviously during this conversation with the referee had to back in this necklace hard and as Murphy's law would have it, today was not that day because somehow I've like got hit around here with the ball. The necklaces like rolled over my Adam's apple, which has got the tension of the permanent necklace to its like thing.

And like a fucking guns gone off because it just, it was so tight. Once it had finally broken the seat, it just fucking popped off, popped off, sis. Wooden beads scurrying across the stadium floor like and the sound you know of 50 beads everywhere and they had to stop the game and like I think there's another one over there and there's another one and the ref's like what did I fucking this is the one reason why we don't allow this. Oh my, and we just like, who was that? And I'm like trying to collect all the beads

so I can like pop them in my bag. Cause you're like, I'll remake it later. I'll get some head elastic from Spotlight. And have to like do it all and stuff like that. Oh. And I'm never. I'm really sorry for bringing that up. Yeah, and then never had I considered

wearing a necklace again until. Until now. Yeah, because I suppressed that memory real deep. Okay, question. What if it wasn't a beaded wooden beaded necklace? Why would you get out of that? Why would you like that? What if it was, you know, the the Zuck chain? You know, what if it was more of like a...

I don't know if I could chain metal. I think it would look really good. I can't give you an example. I'm not married. Oh, Sophie. I think that you could chain. Could I change? I think you could. All right. So if you know what I think is fucking hot, boys wearing a chain that has their wedding ring on it because they like work with their hands or whatever. I work with my hands.

Yeah. You work on me with those fucking hands if you're on a chain. Sorry. But what I'm saying is I think that could be a real vibe. Okay. So if you're watching on YouTube, we do a show, audio every day. Yes. And was it?

Yeah. No, Wednesday we talked about midlife crises. Oh, so you're in a Porsche and you're wearing the necklace. If I roll in chains in a Porsche tomorrow. No, no, no, no. First I'll send you home, it's the weekend. Yeah, no one's going to see. Charles watches you on the ring doorbell. I'm walking like this and there's no one here. See, you're saying chains. I want to be like Lily with the multiple. Nah, you don't need a stack. Okay. But I think

one chain, we could go to Zammel's and grab one now. It's the only class. Who's Zammel? Is Zammel's still a thing? Or was that a living WA? Nah, it definitely was here, yeah. I think Zammel's is like the, you have a prom date and you should get them something and you rock up and go up. And black and yellows are probably gonna be $60.

What can I get for $9.80? But they was expensive for like that period, but it's cheap jewelry. Okay. Shields, you know, kind of energy we're trying. I Think I actually think it we get best friend chains Yes Yes, I Thought you'd say no and now I'm having to commit to a chain. Okay, let's do it.

What about Tony Zammel Lodge? What about best friends? Matching canoes. Yes, I'd love to canoe. I'd love to canoe. What about matching Porsches? Okay, you're saying lots of words I like. Like, you know those videos of people being like, I'm saying my dog's favorite words.

Yeah. And the dog's like, walk, chicken. What if we got matching permanent soldered bracelets? Because I could be in on that. No, it's a chain. Okay, great. I just wanted to float that. Let's get the bracelets.

I've been thinking about doing the bracelet for a while and if we do it for work, you know. We discussed this last week. I've been thinking about doing the bracelet for a while and if we do it for work, you know. We discussed this last week. I don't know if that's legit. Okay. Someone wants to get bracelets at Disneyland together. Is that in the vlog? Or did that not make the cut? I don't think that made the cut. In Patreon, there's a vlog of Tony and Charles going to Disneyland and it is very wholesome. And we make a couple of nods to the episode of Modern Family where they

go to the same Disneyland if that's your cup of tea? Okay. I think that I'm a yes for the chain for you. Like I think that would look really cool. Do you, yeah, I just love jewellery. I think it looks so good on other people, but when I wear it, I feel like I look like I'm going to court. Like I've put my finest things on to like go to prison.

I often feel like that wearing a suit and it's like, oh, what's he up for? Yeah, like you don't feel like you pull it off naturally. Yeah. Well, I've got to- I'll be getting pulled off naturally by her in a chain. With that chain. You can leave your chain on.

I pretty love to see it and it's kind of sad. Well, it's not sad. It's just beautiful. And every time I watch this video, it's made me cry. We can pop it up on the screen, but basically it's this Instagram reel of like a cute new birthday tradition. And you can watch it. You don't need sound on.

I can explain it. But basically instead of putting all of the candles on and you doing one wish when it's your birthday, everyone in your family puts a candle on and makes a wish for you. So like a couple of them is like, oh, you love thrift shopping. I wish that for the next year you get heaps of great thrift store finds. And then like the next one is like, I'm your dad and I love you and I just hope you have like amazing happiness for the next year. It's a really, really beautiful video, but it's also just a lovely idea.

Yeah. And because we are- Now it feels like doing all of them is like, what are you doing? Hurry, you got a bus to catch? Yeah. But I just think it's so sweet that like, having all the people in the room that know you so well, that could all like put a beautiful wish for you for the year. I just thought that was so special, but I thought it would be a really nice tradition, especially for people with kids, that you're like there and all like their friends or their family, your families in the room.

I thought that was so lovely. I think kids would be better because if it was for me, we'd be there all day. You know, it's a lot of candles. No, no, it's the people, not the... So like say if it was the room with us. Oh, so everyone just has one. We would just do one candle each. And I would be like, I hope that for the next year,

you're really happy that Mabel is healthy and that there's always a toilet nearby. Thank you. Now do one for Charles. Charles, oh, this is, okay. Charles, I hope that for the next year, now this is sincere. I hope that for the next year,

all your devices are charged and that you always slay on a Tinder date. Thank you. That's nice, I think. That's very nice. Sophia Stelwood. Sophia, I hope that you have lots of good night's sleep. And another one is that I hope that, and this is for Charles as well, I hope that Taylor

Swift like brings out an album every year until we're dead. Thank you so much. Yeah, that's very nice. That's very nice. Um, I got a toilet close by and she got a new album for the rest of her life. So not the way we compare, but her Sophie's was pretty fucking good. Sophie's is also for me. That is true. Yeah. Yeah.

And for Tony, I hope that Sophie's wish comes true. Yeah, great. Great. All right. Thank you so much for watching. Oh, oh, oh. You love. Do you want to do your love to see it now? Thank you so much for watching. Oi, oi, oi. Do you wanna do what you love to see it? Nah. My love to see it is getting permanent wristbands with my best friend.

I won't allow that, but it is sweet. Fine, I'll do what you love to see it. Oh, if you don't mind just rounding our week out. Fuck, oh, do you know what? You could steal my, your love to see it from the beginning of the episode about the cheese, if you want't mind just rounding our week out, fuck, oh, do you know what? You could steal my, you'll have to see it from the beginning of the episode about the cheese, if you want. No.

Okay. I'll just go fuck myself. My love to see it is that last Saturday for the first time in history, the Templestowe women's football team had a win. What? Yep. That's amazing.

Yep. Trav, my brother-in-law is the coach. Oh, of course. Logan, my niece was the captain last weekend. After Fentry Gully. Fucking cycle that. What's the, I don't like Fentry Gully. I don't think it's got good vibes.

We went there to buy a secondhand car once and I did not like it. Why'd you do that? Which one? Go to Fentiture Galley. There's loads of secondhand carp places there. Really? Yeah, there's like heaps in a row.

Anyway, what's the age range? That's open, seniors. First year they were the senior girls team. There's them after their first win. That is so awesome. That's why I love to see it. Congratulations. Tony, will we see you training down there anytime soon?

I was about to say, I'd love to join the team. Let's not say things we can't take back because they would- Hey, hey, hey, hey, you listen to what I said. Can I tell you a secret? How about you listen to what I said? I would love to join the team. I didn't say I'd be there.

I didn't say I would do it. I don't think you know what joining the team means. Because literally doing it and turning up is what joining the team entails. No, no, no. I would love to do that. Not that I will. You know what I'm saying. Yeah. Could I join as like a benefactor and I just give him a hundred bucks at the beginning

of the season but pay for the oranges for the season? I could cut them up. Take them in the Tupperware container. Is the oranges, is the hundred dollars for the oranges? Because I don't know if you saw that in California, there's, there's a crisis in the orange industry and I don't know if a hundred bucks is going to cut it. Fuck. Hey, sorry to bring some macro economics chatting to the- Do you want to come half?

Do you want to come in half? That's not, that's not what that means. This is more confusing than that time we thought that were coming in pairs. Remember that? Yeah, I do. We're talking about socks. Were you there for that, so? We're talking about socks and they come in pairs and Tony, like imagine someone like

fucking a fruit, like the pear. And I was meant like, no, like a duo of socks. A duo? Like a socks. Like a set. Like a set. Will the Templestowe women see you at the game tomorrow? We're gonna have a hot dog. Oh yeah that does ring me over. And they're purple you were in the right top.

Yeah that's great and we've stretched it out. Awesome. What time's the game tonight? If you wanna see that, don't forget to get stretched out. You can check out Patreon because there was an ordeal before the show today. Mine'll be out yet. Don't know if it's been scheduled yet.

Okay. But I've seen it. It's been recorded. Yeah, I've seen it. I've seen it. What time is the game? Oh, you don't know. Saturday.

I'm just seeing that there's a picture of me shitting myself on the wall over there. Did you know that was there? Yeah, that got put up last week when you were sitting at your desk. I gave it to you and put it up there. I don't remember that at all. Let's get a snippet of the wall of honor up there for everyone watching. I love that it's Ryan's fucking MBA certificate. And then me.

To Antonio taking this shit. Yeah. Beautiful portrait. Yeah. All right. Chat to you next week. Love you so much. Bye.

Nah, I'm canceling the character. Love you.
