I have defrauded my closest friends. I'm up thousands and thousands of euros.
Hi, I'm Trudy from Adelaide, South Australia. Hi, I'm Michelle from New York, USA. Hi, my name's Christy from Prestwick in Scotland. And I approve this podcast.
MUSIC PLAYS
Welcome to the Tony and Ryan podcast. My name is Ryan. This is Dr. Author Tony Lodge. Can you please DM Tony, everyone, and say, there is really a podcast. It is a real show.
Because I've just had somewhat of a bit of a breakdown of thinking, oh, is this all like, am I being Truman Showed?
She thinks that I am her doctor and that I just like interview her as the psychiatrist every day. And this whole thing is a ruse. So when she thinks she's going to work, she's just going into like as a patient going in for the day.
And I'm just having a nice little day. Torbs goes off to work and I just come here and spend my day with you guys. We order lunch sometimes. That's fun, you know. There's like an episode of Community and it's in season four or something. So it's like there's been a lot of...
and where they're like, oh, you guys all think that you're part of this community college, but Greendale is actually like an institution for like troubled minds and they like try and gaslight them into thinking that like none of it's been happened and you kind of start falling for it for a second. Then they're like, hang on, no, I'm wearing a Greendale backpack.
Like, you know, like they kind of all figure it out and it was just them trying to be gaslighted into like some crazy thing. But I watched that episode recently, so I'm kind of like-

Chapter 2: How does the host explain the mechanics of gift voucher fraud?
You're not put on a show. Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Anything else you'd like to add?
I was just going to say there was a little period, like, after my mum died where I was really nervous she was watching. Like, because, you know, everyone goes, your mum's watching over you and all of that. And I just kind of got a bit like, oh, like, how much?
Yeah.
What she's saying.
Which bit in particular where you're like.
Jerking off.
Jerking off.

Chapter 3: What are the social implications of giving fake vouchers?
I reckon, though, it would be something you'd want to, like, you'd be like, because it's just a bit nosy, isn't it? Like, you'd want to, like, get some goss on the other side, don't you reckon?
Ghost goss. I tell you, I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion.
Oh, that's perfect now, that tea. Thank you.
Oh, no.
Okay.
I think I've got, what do they call that 100-day cough? Because I'm coughing and I can't get rid of it, eh? It's fine. Like, I don't feel bad, but I'm just coughing me fucking frog up.
Hannah, how do I go back?
Yeah.
Undo.

Chapter 4: How has the perception of bar soap changed among millennials?
Interception.
Oh, I love when you get down on one knee.
I pressed something and it deleted a whole bunch of stuff and I had to figure out the undo button.
Oh, shake.
Oh, last time I did that, I nearly threw the iPad out the window.
Last time we did that, you almost cum. Last time you shook it.
Thank you, Charles.
When was the last time you jerked off?
What time is it?

Chapter 5: What mental health themes are associated with Winnie the Pooh characters?
And they go, oh, all good.
One step ahead of that. If someone got, I will swear down right fucking now, if someone bought me a voucher and I went to use it and it didn't work, I would never say anything.
The anonymous person said they very rarely question, like only a few times of the hundred times they've done it have they asked because A, they never use it in the first place or B, they go to use it and it doesn't work and they just go, oh.
Well, I would just feel so awkward being like, hey, that gift you got me doesn't work.
So they've gone, they never ask for what could be a multitude of reasons.
You just wouldn't bring it up, I don't think.
They've done it a hundred times and two or three times the person's gone. Oh, and they go, oh, sorry, mate. Here it is. And they go, oh, good.
Well, that's pretty good ratio of having to buy it.
So you get all the social credit.

Chapter 6: What are the historical concerns regarding shared bar soap?
Buy three houses. Build them yourself.
I earned massive friend points and I've paid absolutely nothing and I have no plans to stop.
Okay. You know when we had that conversation about the movie Catch Me If You Can but you were talking about Now You See Me, Now You Don't?
Are you thinking of American Gangster?
No.
I don't know. I haven't seen that. But you know in Catch Me If You Can how it starts small and then he just gets more and more like confident. Five grand. That's asking for trouble.
So in American Gangster.
Sorry, my hair's all flapping out now my head.
Frank Lucas, who's one of the great gangsters of the US and the drug kingpin.

Chapter 7: How do personal experiences shape views on cleanliness and soap?
Yeah. Or if I gave someone a $5,000 voucher, I'd message three months later and go, hey, mate, did you end up using that thing? I want to see what you chose.
Yeah, show me the couch you bought or whatever. I also think that it creates a divide because if you get me something for $5,000, then at your birthday, I'm like, fuck, I've got to get this guy something pretty good.
Imagine if when Charles in 25,000 years gets married, I give him a $10,000 wedding gift and I give you a scratchy pack from Tats Lotto.
So you kind of go, well... At $18.50.
I mean... Would you feel a bit hard done by?
No, it's not about if you... If Charles gave... It's because I value him more than you. No, no, no. But it's if Charles gave you something really expensive and then me something not expensive, that's... I don't care. It's me giving him back something expensive.
Oh...
I don't care that he bought you something expensive and not me because you guys might have a different relationship. That's fine. We do. But it's the person who bought it for you. You then are like, fuck, I owe you.
So you move into a place and Charles gives you a $2,000 voucher. Then Charles moves into a place and you give him a $15 voucher and he goes, well, fucking right.

Chapter 8: What humorous anecdotes are shared about using bar soap?
Yeah.
And that was the start of it.
But I felt so guilty, so I certainly couldn't do it. But as someone who does forget gift vouchers, I could probably have been a victim of this and not realize.
Good to know. With a wedding coming up?
What do you mean there's no hotel reservation on the lodge?
Hi, I'm Michelle from New York, USA. Hi, my name's Christy from Persic in Scotland. Hi, I'm Trudy from Adelaide. And you're listening to Tony and I.
apparently there's a tell me about this scam with the itunes card it's like a bit like it was a few years ago but there was this scam that the ato which is like the tax office in australia that they were people were posing as the ato and saying like if you want to pay off your debt with gift vouchers like that that because it's like untraceable because you just buy it and then you give it to someone it's gone and you think that the ato doesn't want itunes vouchers well
I just think that if you get a scam call or scam email and it's like you owe the tax man $50 worth of iTunes gift cards, like that's a kid playing Temple Run. Like that's a kid that wants to play Roblox. Like that's not believable to me. I just think that if you can get got by that, then maybe like that's up to natural selection. You know, that's like tags on the hairdryer stuff.
I... Studied accounting in undergrad.
