Speaker 2 (0:00) Then he realises why the coffee was bad. Speaker 1 (0:02) No. For Speaker 2 (0:03) months, he'd been going to the pub at night, stumbling home, then in the kettle and not changing the water. Speaker 1 (0:12) Hey, Speaker 2 (0:13) this is Ansley from Chicago in the US. Speaker 1 (0:15) Hi, this is Rowan. I'm Professor Albert from Lancaster, UK. Hey, it's Pamela from Perth, Western Australia. And I approve this podcast. Speaker 2 (0:36) Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. This is Dr. Author, best-selling Dr. Author, Tony Lodge. My name is Ryan. Coming up today, a lot of tapas have sent in stories about they thought they were eating this, but they're actually eating that. Speaker 1 (0:51) The Speaker 2 (0:51) other day, I got some beautiful sweet custard mixed up with some sour cream. Isn't that a surprise when you're not expecting it? Yeah, Speaker 1 (0:56) and it is. Speaker 2 (0:57) So in solidarity, some people have gone, oh, let me share. So that's coming up soon. Speaker 1 (1:02) But obviously I'm excited because it's a Monday. It's a new week. We're getting to be back in the podcasting chairs, as it were. Feels Speaker 2 (1:09) nice. But Speaker 1 (1:10) you cannot wipe the fucking smile off my face because guess what today is? MKR starts tonight. Yeah! Speaker 1 (1:18) Oh, my God. AFL season might be over, but my season's here. I love MKR so much. That's my Speaker 2 (1:28) kitchen rules for those playing along at home. I'm so fucking excited. Give me the two-sentence explanation of what MKR is. Oh, Speaker 1 (1:36) it's so much bigger than that, mate. If you think you can top it in two sentences, I mean, you're already too far behind. It is a cooking competition show. Speaker 2 (1:43) Yep. At Speaker 1 (1:43) the crux, that is all it is. But... The first few weeks they call it instant restaurants. Yeah. And like I set up my house like a cute little dinner party and all the other contestants come to my house and the celebrity judges and you cook for them and then they all score privately and they go around the country. of Australia and they go to everybody's house. So it's like there's contestants from Perth, contestants from Brisbane, Darwin, like wherever they're Speaker 2 (2:11) from. Speaker 1 (2:11) And do you pick a Speaker 2 (2:11) favourite or do you feel like you go for the Perth one by default or where are you at? It Speaker 1 (2:15) depends. It depends. I think that I'm always, whenever the Perth ones come up, I'm like, oh, do we know them? Speaker 2 (2:23) Because Speaker 1 (2:23) Perth is that Speaker 2 (2:24) small. Speaker 1 (2:24) What school did you go to? Yeah, what school did you go to? But. Yeah, so there's always like a bit of a thrill for a second. Be like, oh, do we recognize anybody? Yeah. I'm so excited. I'm so fucking excited. Speaker 2 (2:35) Can we? It's the Speaker 1 (2:36) only free to air, apart from like we watch Sunrise in the morning while we're getting ready for work or whatever, but it is the only like free to air show that I commit to. Speaker 2 (2:44) Yeah, but that for me is the block. So this is your block. Yeah. Speaker 1 (2:47) Yeah. So can we get Speaker 2 (2:50) some weekly recaps? Yes. It's a little vlog at home or do you want to bring your stories into the show? I did think maybe Speaker 1 (2:57) IG stories. The only thing about doing it on Instagram is that I do have to think of my fellow Perthians that haven't seen the episode yet. Speaker 1 (3:10) Because, you know, you get the winner for Big Brother ruined for you once in 2007 and you're never the same. I've got Speaker 2 (3:16) some advice. Yeah? Be really slow at editing. So the show ends and then you're like, well, the time I edit this and put it together, that might take me two hours. Or if I Speaker 1 (3:26) do it straight away and then schedule for two hours later. Technology, man. You will not read about it. You'll just see it. Technology Speaker 2 (3:33) is pretty crazy. Yeah. Speaker 1 (3:34) Oh, my God. Wild. Speaker 2 (3:39) Does that sound like, did you hear police siren? Speaker 1 (3:41) No. Oh, Speaker 2 (3:43) that's strange because Detective Dunn's on the scene. Speaker 1 (3:46) You really had me going there. Yeah. Okay. I'm Speaker 2 (3:50) so happy for you and MKR. Thank you. I know Speaker 1 (3:52) Charles is just sitting there like looking so mad about MKR. I don't know why you don't like it. It's the best show. Speaker 2 (3:58) It's so good. And I'm glad that you've brought some joy to my day because I've had a rough weekend. Oh, no. Speaker 2 (4:06) we're in the market to get an outdoor barbecue. Oh, Speaker 1 (4:10) you're welcome. Speaker 2 (4:11) Yeah. Tony's got a barbecue. And I was like, this is for me. Summer's coming up and I'm like, I'm going to be standing out there flipping burgers, having snags, maybe some onion on there for other people. I don't fuck with onion, but. Speaker 1 (4:25) Question. Yeah. Are you looking at solo barbecue? No. Or are you going like. Speaker 2 (4:32) A kitchen. So, it's going to be- A Speaker 1 (4:34) kitchen. A kitchen. Ah. Speaker 2 (4:37) It's going to be a long bench. Speaker 1 (4:38) Yep. A Speaker 2 (4:39) barbecue kind of built into one side and a fridge built into the- Like, built in the other side. We're not getting the sink. They can add on anything and it just- Oh, and did you want the pizza cooker? Oh, and did you want this? And did you want that? And they've also got double opened fridge with a sink. Oh, Speaker 1 (4:58) that Speaker 2 (4:58) is nice. We found one with a- you put a keg underneath and it's got a tap. Speaker 1 (5:02) They're so cool. Speaker 2 (5:04) Oh, fuck. I wanted that so bad. You should do that. Nah, but like I'm on this website and it's like, yeah, that looks good. Add, add, add. It's like Speaker 1 (5:12) when I go on the Porsche website and you build the car and you go, you know what? I will take the moonroof and the black mag wheels. Yeah, and then it goes right up Speaker 2 (5:19) for $250 and you go, Speaker 1 (5:20) close Speaker 2 (5:21) the laptop. Close the Speaker 1 (5:22) tab, yeah. And they go, do you want to save this quote? I go, nah. It's all right. I'll build it again next week. Speaker 2 (5:27) Now, on our deck out in the back. Speaker 1 (5:28) So you're Speaker 2 (5:28) not doing the Speaker 1 (5:29) sink. Speaker 2 (5:29) We're not doing the sink. Speaker 1 (5:31) Can I? The sink is awesome. We've got a sink. But here's the thing. Rich people chat. I'm so sorry. But we do have the sink outside. I Speaker 2 (5:37) think my issue is, is that I want the bench space and the trade-off is, you know what I mean? Yeah, we've got both. What? We've got both. Because Speaker 1 (5:48) our bench goes both sides. Yeah. So our barbecue is in the middle and then. Like the bench over the side because that's where the fridge is. But then on the other side, there's bench space and the sink. Speaker 2 (5:58) Yeah. I just think, cause I love mixing drinks and I'm thinking like the tray with the meat and stuff. And I like, I like a big lot of bench. So that was sort of the. Nah, Speaker 1 (6:07) I get it. Speaker 2 (6:07) And the kitchen's not that, like it's just, it's going to be just off the kitchen. So we're like, oh yeah. And so we're sort of making these decisions. We're going on all the websites. And then. Speaker 2 (6:18) We go, let's, okay, we think we're getting pretty close to what we're liking. Awesome. Let's go see it in person. Speaker 1 (6:24) Oh, yeah. Do they just have it in stock? No, Speaker 2 (6:26) you have to make a booking to go and see a barbecue. Speaker 1 (6:32) Come to my house, look at it for free. Anytime. We're open 24-7. Speaker 2 (6:37) You have to book a time in on the weekend. Speaker 1 (6:42) is it because they're cooking you a barbecue while you're there and they need to know your dietries? Speaker 2 (6:47) That would be great. What time should we get you in and did you want onions? You go, Speaker 1 (6:51) yep, gluten-free bread, please. No onions. I'm doing low FODMAP because I keep shitting myself. Speaker 2 (6:56) Now, here's where Detective Dunn's on the case because the whole fucking industry needs to get its fucking shit together. Like Speaker 1 (7:03) what, at the Bunnings? What do you mean? Like where? At Speaker 2 (7:06) the barbecue place. Speaker 1 (7:07) Like at barbecue. I've been to barbecues galore. You don't need to book you. Speaker 2 (7:10) Well, they're for the barbecues, but it's more about the kitchen thing. Because you kind of go in and you go, well, how long is your deck? Where are you going to put it? Like, because they're going to, because some are pre-made or some, they build them for you, but they got to measure you up and blah, blah, blah. I see. Now, here's the issue that needs to be blown the fuck open. Now, I don't want to name this one specific company. But let me give you some clues. What country are we in? Speaker 1 (7:40) Australia. Don't say that word. Speaker 2 (7:42) Second word. It's the opposite of indoor. Speaker 1 (7:48) Yep. Speaker 2 (7:48) And the third word is barbecues. So that's the name of the company. I've Speaker 1 (7:54) never heard of that. Is this a fancy girl barbecue place? Well, again, it's- The kitchen. Speaker 2 (8:02) Yeah. Speaker 1 (8:03) Oh, okay. Speaker 2 (8:05) So it's place, not indoor. Yeah. Oh, no, it's kitchens is the last word. Speaker 1 (8:09) Australian outdoor kitchens. Oh. Speaker 2 (8:13) So anyway, they go, cool, where are you going to have- Speaker 1 (8:15) Not Speaker 2 (8:15) the Speaker 1 (8:15) A-O-K. Speaker 2 (8:17) Yeah. And so they go, cool, it's going to be on your- We go, yeah, we're going to put it on the decking. And they go, oh. Speaker 2 (8:25) So not inside. And I was like, no, it'll be outside. Speaker 1 (8:29) It's a fucking barbecue. Of course it's outside. And Speaker 2 (8:32) they go, oh, but it's like under the alfresco fucking cover or whatever. And I was like, no, we actually don't have that. It's just like open air. Speaker 1 (8:39) Yeah. Speaker 2 (8:40) No, can't do that. Insurance won't cover it. Like the liability does, you know, the sun will do damage. The rain, like can't do it. Speaker 1 (8:49) What's Lorraine got to do with that? Speaker 2 (8:50) And I said, who the fuck is Lorraine? So they're like, they're not weatherproof. Speaker 1 (8:57) Hang on. What's it called again? Yeah. Speaker 2 (9:00) And I was like, do you know? Have you seen the sign Speaker 1 (9:04) out the front? When Speaker 2 (9:05) you drive in each morning and you see that three words across the top, do you go, I live in that country. It's not inside. It's a kitchen. Speaker 1 (9:17) Has Speaker 2 (9:17) anyone thought about this? Hey, Speaker 1 (9:19) man, where do you work? Yeah. Oh, Speaker 2 (9:23) I work at We Make Podcast. What do you do? Not sure. Speaker 1 (9:26) Yeah. Oh, it's indoor barbecues. Speaker 2 (9:27) Yeah. Speaker 1 (9:28) That's what we do here. Speaker 2 (9:29) Oh, you're describing a kitchen. Not an outdoor. Yeah. And so we're like, and then now there's a thing where they, Charles, don't bring their website up. Speaker 1 (9:40) No, that's not even the right place. Cause that's Australian outdoor living. Oh, Speaker 2 (9:43) but similar. Oh, but see how they're all like in these little, like, like Speaker 1 (9:47) a, a cover. That one's outside. That one's outside. Yeah. That's nice. So is that what you're getting? But Speaker 2 (9:52) some of them are like in a cabana, like a little, you know, set up or there's these other ones where it's like, there's a backing and they're actually like a garage door. So for when you're not using it and then when you're using it, it kind of like flips open and can you, fuck, that's going to be hard to Google, Charles, but there's these ones where you can kind of open it up to use it and then you kind of. Speaker 1 (10:11) Like just the hood part or the whole kitchen. Yeah. Speaker 2 (10:15) It's sort of behind a garage door type vibe. Speaker 1 (10:17) It's like a storage centre. Speaker 2 (10:20) Yeah, but the storage is the barbecue and the fridge and stuff. So it's like, oh, it's a sunny day, quick opener up. But when it's rainy and windy, you
