Mates, in Australia, New Zealand, UK, Ireland, US, Canada, we have a brand new show we are taking out called Drem.

I think it's our best show to date.

Tickets at tour.antidonner.com.

Hey, everybody, it's Zach Rouen here, and I have to say, we just recorded, I think you are about to listen to the best podcast we have ever done.

If you want to watch that podcast, of course, you can watch it on the auntie Donna Club.com powered by Patreon.

Go and head over there to watch that plus a bunch of other bonus content.

Otherwise, enjoy the podcast.

We hope you enjoyed the motherfucking podcast.

Hi everybody, how are you?

Very, very good, Zach.

Very excited.

Hi, Mark.

Hi, Zach.

Hi, listener.

Now, listener, I'm here to tell you and to tell the boys.

I texted them this morning saying I have some very good news.

The listener or you two.

Oh, did you?

I did not receive that message.

I didn't receive it.

Was it on

slack?

I texted you.

You've still got the same.

You'd let me know if you changed your number yet.

I would.

Let me just read out your one on air that I have for you.

My number?

Yeah.

Go for it.

04.

That's it.

Don't ring that number.

In fact, beep it.

Beep that number.

I've got a different number to that.

I'm just looking now.

Mark, have you given me a fake number?

No, no, not a fake number.

I think maybe, you know, I'm not great with numbers.

It's a real number.

Yeah, it's a real, yeah, absolutely.

You can't deny that they're they're not a collection of numbers that exist.

If I put those numbers in my phone, at any point were they ever going to reach you?

What do you mean by you, Mark?

Oh, no.

I feel a fool.

We're just joking, everybody.

I do have Mark's number.

We contact each other from time to time.

I don't want you to get confused.

Sometimes people at home get a little bit confused when we make jokes.

I've met his wife.

I attended his wedding.

And

just to be very clear, I have Mark's number.

But we'll continue with this bit right now.

Oh, wow.

I can't believe you gave me a fake number, Mark.

I'm so sorry, Zach.

It was just because I didn't want to speak to you ever.

Oh, geez, Louise.

Well, I'll tell you the good news, guys.

What?

Did it need that disclaimer?

Because we are.

Apparently so.

Some people.

Go to that comments.

Head to the Reddit.

You got to get off the Reddit.

I don't think the problem is in the fallout of the show.

Yeah.

The problem is is in the you of the reading the Reddit.

The unhealthy relationship with the subreddit.

Get off the Reddit

and it's killing me.

Get off the Reddit, man.

Nothing on there for you.

Doesn't help.

I had someone DM.

Apart from that's insane.

The subreddit, that's insane if you like fucked up stuff.

I also need to say, I think a few podcasts ago, I need to clear some things up because this wasn't a Reddit, this was a DM.

Someone was like, hey,

I just wanted to say I saw you recently.

I was an extra on a thing you were shooting, and I didn't want to

talk to you in person because I know you don't like that when fans approach you in person.

So, I just wanted to message you and say how much stuff means to you.

And I was like, That's odd.

I don't remember saying anything to that effect.

And then I asked someone, and they said, Zach, you said you would cut off a fan's nose if they ever approached you.

And we can't be doing things like that.

No, I don't remember saying that, but I will.

If you see me out and like it's good vibes and you want to say, get a photo or say hello, that's so fine.

I won't cut off your nose.

Yeah.

We'll go a little further.

What are you willing to offer these people?

Gift cards.

A photo on my phone.

Just no touching.

I think that's important to state.

If you see people

on the street.

If you touch Mark, I will cut off your nose.

And there it is.

And there it's back.

It's back.

Are you going to remember this one?

You have to remember that the subreddit, the fans, they're like a membrane.

But you've got to get off the subreddit.

They're like a sponge.

They soak it in.

Oh,

I got off it years ago.

Every now and then I'll pop in.

I know it's broadly a very positive community.

And I love all of your support.

Thank you so much.

And

that person was very polite.

They were just confused.

The one about the

thinking that I for clarity, have you ever

cut off anyone's nose whether they liked a video of ours or not?

Yeah, what's the most violent physical act you've ever

done onto a stranger?

I don't.

Yeah, can I...

No, we should.

Yeah, can I just

ask him about cutting off a nose?

What's that thing they do in America when

you don't answer because legally you don't have to answer?

Plead the fifth.

Uh-huh.

I'd like to plead the fifth.

The fifth what?

Amendment.

Which is.

You don't have to say something if it's going to incriminate you.

Right.

So does that not then incriminate you i just broden asked me if i've ever cut off a fan's nose because they approached me in a rude way yeah

and i'm saying yeah i'd like to plead the fifth there is one thing i'd like to say don't film me in the mosh

don't film mark in the mosh don't actually legit don't secretly film people don't film me in the mosh sometimes when i'm in the mosh

i'm letting go mark's joking i'm letting off steve mark of course is joking we're all joking.

No, I'm not joking.

I'm not joking.

I'm not joking.

Don't film me in the mosh.

If I'm in the mosh, that's

why you in the mosh?

I love getting in the mosh.

What's the mosh?

The mosh?

A mosh pit?

At a show.

What's a pit?

What pit are you getting in?

So, you know, like, so often at heavy metal

music.

It's like music guitars,

drums, bass.

You know, your rock and roll shows.

Often

a pit will open up.

It's even happened at a Veronica's concert before.

You know, a mosh can happen anyway.

Pop and rock, no, thank you.

What do you like?

I like classical music from movies, playlists of classical music.

And what songs in the playlist?

Oh, I don't know.

I just listen to classical music.

Hmm.

Just playlists of calm classical music.

That sort of thing.

You never

got a favourite band or...

Band.

Oh, no.

Thank you.

I'll leave the pop and rock to you, Luddites.

What was the first CD you ever received?

The first CD I ever received, I can't remember if it was Celebrity Skin by Hull, the single, or if it was Aqua Aquarium, the album.

They're both pop and rock albums or singles.

Ah, okay, yes, yes.

You've caught me in a lie.

I listen to pop and rock,

and only occasionally do I listen to classical music.

I just want to do a quick quick check-in.

Often we'll record the podcast and then we'll record the intro.

Yeah.

It was one of the first times we recorded the intro.

Yeah.

And then

I lied in that intro.

Did the podcast.

That's what happened because he came in and said, I've got the best idea for an episode ever.

Yeah.

Well, shall I pitch that to you now?

That was what we were talking about.

Oh, have we not gotten to that yet?

No.

Okay, I thought when you were talking about cutting people's noses off, that that's what you know.

You got me on a side quest there.

That was me just doing a quick aside.

Would you like me to tell you what I wanted to tell you?

Yes, yes.

I was just getting a little worried, a little anxious that we'd promised the greatest episode ever.

And I pretended that it was live.

What are you doing, Broden?

What's happening?

You know how Mark is of Italian heritage?

Okay.

Sounds pretty problematic.

Where are we going with this, Broden?

Don't worry.

I've got this.

You're in safe hands.

You know how the Italians traditionally, not all.

Oh, this is all getting a little bit problematic for me.

It might.

Let's see where this goes.

It's Sicilian.

Do you keep going?

I apologise.

Do you concede that the Sicilians use their hands to communicate more so than other communities?

In a vivacious manner.

I would say, culturally,

that is a thing that occurs.

Often what I'll do is I'll go to my wife and children.

I'll have hands by side and say, I'm off to work, I'll see you later.

Whereas a man from Sicily or Italy will say

with their hands,

I'm going to work.

But with that,

they have to do it in a wide open space, otherwise they'll be knocking

door frames.

Knocking things off the cabinets or, you know,

skewing the frames on

the walls.

Can I just reframe it?

I would feel more comfortable if we reframed it because it is coming off a little problematic.

Okay.

If we could reframe it as to a Sicilian,

we of the Irish diaspora.

Is that the word?

Diaspora?

Oh, man.

The only person I ever hear say that word is you?

Diaspora.

So we of the...

I've only ever really read it.

Is that the gene pool?

Does that mean like gene pool?

No, it's not.

It's an album by Daniel Johns and the Silver Chair lads in the early 2000s.

No, that's diora.

It's

diorama.

The the culture around the world outside of

the nation state.

Oh, like Frogstomp.

No.

Anyway,

to a Sicilian, it would appear we Irish, we of Irish heritage, hardly move our arms at all when we talk.

Do you understand?

You're bringing it back to you.

Okay.

You're saying you're not creating a normal in that statement.

We are getting away slightly from sort of what happened.

But do you can we move forward with that?

If you use that statement while talking about whatever you're going to say and that kind of notion, then I think we're in the clear.

Great.

I believe it is from my perspective in the Irish diaspora that we use diaspora.

Diaspora.

That we use our arms less.

Yeah, like a Kendall.

Than you people.

Right, okay.

Okay, yeah.

You lot.

Right.

Do we concede or accept?

I'm happy to move on.

Mark,

this is so small what happened.

I just want everyone to be very aware that we are setting you up for utter disappointment.

While you were chatting about things, Mark brought in today to show that he needed a little pick-me-up.

a coffee in a cup.

Do you believe he did that to show us he needed a pick-me-up or for the pick-me-up?

I believe.

That's a big accusation.

That's almost implying he's a narcissist.

A sociopath.

Sociopath.

Hi.

Well, I better get a coffee so they know I need a pick-me-up.

Mark, can you end?

Can you can you respond to these claims?

What do you mean?

Is that coffee cup full of coffee or is that

a prop?

to demonstrate to us that you needed a pick-me-up.

You know, Broden likes coffee, so you thought, yes, this will ingratiate me with Broden.

And I don't get on side with him.

I, look, I don't know what to say.

I drove my car here.

I parked the car, as I often do.

And then on my way here, I had a couple of minutes.

I was a little early.

So I thought, why not stop and get a little coffee?

Hadn't had a coffee yet today.

Checks out.

Checks out.

That's it.

Can you open the cup?

I just want to see.

What do you mean?

I want to see.

It's empty now.

I've drunk the coffee.

I just want to.

But if that coffee cup has been used.

Are you saying that there is a world where I would go to a cafe and say, can I just have an empty cup and lid to come in here to make you both think that I've had a coffee for a pick-me-up so that then...

And then what?

So that you trust me to be a goofball?

I don't know why you would do it.

I'm not a sociopath.

What I'm saying is Broden has tabled an accusation at you.

One I thought was out of the realm of possibility, but you are getting very defensive.

We still haven't reached what happened and what started this, which I can't stress enough.

Not worth it.

So not worth it.

So open up that cup so we can get on with it.

I mean, what are you looking for inside of the cup?

What are you looking for inside of it?

In a used coffee cup?

In a coffee residuals.

Coffee.

And there are.

Yeah, there is.

Show me, Mark.

Oh, yeah, there's plenty of coffee in there.

But what does that prove?

That he got a coffee, yeah.

Or does it prove that he is a highly functional skilled sociopath?

He went into a cafe or brought that from home.

Maybe he drank the coffee.

Not wanting one, he drank the coffee and dealt with the effects just in order to manipulate us.

Into what?

Well, when I saw you walk in with a coffee today, I went, Fuck, he really means business today.

I trust him.

When I saw you had a coffee, I thought, you know what?

Like me, he's not perfect.

Sometimes he needs to pick me up, like me.

I feel comfortable around this guy.

Right.

Because when I saw you with your coffee, Broden, I thought, thirsty boy.

That's all I thought.

Do you think coffee is a

thirst quencher?

Yeah.

When it's piping hot.

Yeah.

If you actually liked coffee, you'd know you'd take it as a drug.

Excuse me, coffee's in my blood.

I'm Sicilian.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know that that was a part of your blood.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't.

We got the brown cells.

You've got brown cells because you're Sicilian.

I don't know.

It's not.

I'll tell you what.

It ain't working.

Anyway, I knocked the cup a bit.

He knocked the cup a bit with his gestating, gesticulating, not gestating.

Gestating hands.

Gestating hands.

Could you frame it as you didn't knock your cup?

Is this a...

Because you feel it's racial that I said that Mark.

I just think it creates a sense that what you do with your arms is normal and what he does is weird.

I'm getting, this is the vibe I'm getting.

Is that

if you guys were alive,

you were this age in the 50s, 60s, you would have gone up to Sydney Town Hall and protest against Pallegrini's opening in the middle.

Oh, no doubt.

That is the vibe I'm getting from the two people I'm with.

And that happened.

I'm trying to help you.

I'm trying to create an environment that's not racist for you.

And that's why I'd ask you to just reframe that story as when you didn't move your arms, you didn't lock the car.

Pallegrini's is an Italian restaurant in Melbourne.

I go there all the time.

It's a staple.

I always do.

There were protests.

I'm getting the vibe that you two would have led the charge.

Why?

I'm doing everything I can to make Broden less problematic.

It just, it's just.

I'm doing this for you.

This is supposed to be the best podcast ever.

Well, I haven't even said that yet.

Well, I'm looking forward to it because at the moment I'm feeling

vilified.

Can you frame that from?

I haven't heard?

I haven't heard.

This is good.

This is good stuff.

Because I haven't heard

that.

What is it?

What do I want him to say?

What are we doing?

Can we just, can we just...

Clean slate.

Clean slate.

Clean slate.

Clean slate.

All right.

Clean sleep.

Let's get over the racism.

Let's go to an ad break.

Okay.

And when we come back, I will tell you the exciting news.

Welcome back.

All right.

My exciting news is: I woke up this morning with a feeling in my belly that this was going to be the best podcast we've ever done.

And then, and then what?

That's what I wanted to tell you.

Characters?

Hopefully.

Hopefully, you deliver on that.

Yeah.

So, not an idea.

No.

Just a...

Just a really positive feeling.

And it wasn't, and it's not...

You're sure it wasn't worms?

That could be it, yeah.

So do you see what I'm saying?

I just had this really good feeling in my belly that this is going to be our best podcast yet.

In terms of what?

Fuck, funny,

sharp, whatever metric you use.

Best to make people stop listening.

The best one.

No, no, no.

Like the best podcast.

People are going to laugh.

They're going to go, that was so funny.

I have an image in my head sometimes when I'm recording the podcast where it's a person in the front seat driving and they put this, there's a road trip with their partner of a year and a half.

Yeah.

And they're like, we're driving an hour and a half to see my family in the rural town that I'm originally from.

Yes, yes, yes.

I'm going to put on my favorite podcast.

Yeah, yeah.

And the partner.

So, okay.

And then this shit comes on.

Yeah.

Well, never fear because this is is going to be the best one.

But

Zach, what does that person tell their partner?

If this is on right now.

I imagine they're looking over to them, not too much, because they've got to keep their eye on the road.

Unless they're listening in the future and self-driving cars have been invented.

They have been invented.

But like actually invented.

I was in one.

They have actually been invented.

I was in one.

But like in a way where, you know.

What?

I was in a Waymo.

Yeah.

Wow.

Yeah, they fully exist.

That's so cool.

What did you mean?

What do you mean for real though?

I just meant like for like everyone's got them?

Like, you know,

we're good.

They're not going to crash.

I got in a Waymo.

Okay.

Yeah, no, I think that's probably fair.

Okay, so...

I reckon they're turning to them and they're saying, well, did you hear that?

Did you hear what Zach said?

It is going to get good.

And not only only is it going to get good, it's going to be their best one yet.

So in this hypothetical situation,

this listener has full trust, full faith

that this podcast will find its legs.

And it won't just kind of

just be three

colleagues.

These dicks, three handsome colleagues.

Massive dicks.

I mean, sure.

Speak for yourself.

And I do.

I speak for myself and my dick.

Well you must.

I mean that's there's so much of it.

You guys speak for it.

Whenever I speak I speak for my dick.

Really?

So when you're ordering a coffee I say we will have the magic

on the yeah that's why the queen used the royal wee.

What?

Because of a massive dick.

The queen

where did she get the royal weekend?

Did she get it out of the toilet?

I think we thought of the royal wee.

No, I've only ever smelt it.

No, no, no, no, no, not we, we.

R-W-I-I.

Oh, yes, because the queen was given a golden-plated we by Nintendo.

The royal we.

No, the royal we.

I didn't know.

I believe Queen Elizabeth used.

Did we fit?

But, Mark, you know, serious.

Have you heard about the royal we?

Didn't help.

What?

So I, you know how there's like I means this and, you know, I, you, all those pronouns?

We is the royal we where the queen or the king, whoever the sovereign is in England, sometimes uses we.

The royal we.

I represent all of us.

We are happy to have you.

So that is the one case where we can be used for a singular.

But the reason, it's not because they represent all of us.

It started in the reign of Queen Elizabeth II because she was referring to herself as a massive cock.

Right.

So

when she was like, we welcome you.

We would like to invite you to a state dinner.

That was because Queen Elizabeth II, who sadly passed a few years ago,

was referring to herself, the person.

Big old Dignong.

But also her massive digdon.

I didn't know she had.

Austin Pell was a little bit of a drink.

I did not know that Queen Elizabeth II had a wiener the size of...

of a Frankfurter.

A bigger.

Thick and long.

Well, you don't know the kind of Frankfurter I'm thinking of.

Yeah.

I'm thinking more like a Kranski.

Wow.

Queen Elizabeth II.

They have a real crisp crunch to them when you bite into a Kransky.

Full of juice.

Queen Elizabeth II.

Pens.

Summer cheese-filled.

That hush.

That's what I think of when I think of a Krankski.

I think of that hush.

I think of my father, Wayne Kelly, because

no, not my father.

No.

He loved Kransky and would, you know, come home from the shops on the weekend with a Kranski for lunch.

All right.

So, did you know that about

the queen?

Yeah, he put the

fry it up.

It's very interesting about the queen.

I'm more interested about Wayne Calley's fascination with Kranski sausages.

It is pretty interesting that he loved a Kranski.

He would come home with a Kranski.

I think often he would cut them in half for eating.

Slice them.

What way?

What way?

Long ways.

What?

Why?

Why?

Why do we do that?

I think the cheese, because a Kransky I would say is defined by NZAC as the foodie here.

Filled with...

A Kransky is filled with things.

Like cheese.

Not always.

Not always.

It's a coarse pork sausage.

But it's the

best.

Would you say it's fair to say that some Kranskis are filled with things?

Yes.

Yeah, of course.

But all sausages are filled with things.

Can I tell you a fun fact?

One of the Destiny's childs came to Australia to be a judge on a short-running show on network television at some point.

Broden's moving the tape.

Yeah, I know, but that might be it.

That one might bake it best ep.

Might bake it best ep.

Wait, but you, I thought you said you know what's going to make it the best episode.

No, I know what we already revealed.

Mark, Mark.

I have faith.

All right.

So one of the Destiny childs came to Australia to be a judge on one of those singing shows, Callie Rollins, I think.

Okay.

And then one time I was working at Gold Class at Crown, I was filling a shift for the Crown star.

This might be it.

And then Destiny Child came in, Kelly, and she ordered the hot dog, but without the bun.

And our hot dogs at the time were Kransky's.

So I presume she was just doing no cards.

And I remember serving a Kransky on a piece of lettuce

and bringing it to Kelly Rolls.

Kransky cooked in the microwave on a piece of lettuce and bringing it to one of the destinies child

pretty cool day for me

okay you gave Kelly Rowland a Kranzy of letters that you cooked in the microwave

Zach's lost he's I've lost a core memory I gave you a little popcorn or anything I gave Kelly Rowland a Kransky on cooked in the microwave

I remember being like I can't remember I don't I can't remember if I was in the kitchen or or if I was running food.

I think I was running food.

I think I was like, we can't give Calirolla a Krunski.

And they're like, oh, we'll put it on some lettuce there.

Was it a lettuce leaf or a chopped up lettuce?

Like some lettuce leafler.

Oh, right.

Like an iceberg.

It was just a big plate.

Sauce?

Yeah, maybe some sauce on the side.

A big plate with a lettuce and a Kremski.

Do you know what flavor Kransky would have been?

There was no filling.

It was like a pork or a pillow.

Those hot dogs were quite nice, but they were all about the crunchy bread roll.

And there was no crunchy bread roll.

It was just a Kretsky rolling around.

Do you remember the movie she was watching?

No.

No.

Maybe something, maybe a thriller starring Liam Neeson, or those were big at the time, or a

taken.

Yeah, but I have no memory at all.

I just remember she was a judge, guest judge on a show, or she was a judge on a show.

Pretty crazy stuff.

I don't remember her so much as I remember the Gretnski rolling around on the plate.

Yeah.

Lindsay, I'm going to reveal something to you both.

Lindsay said to me before you guys got here, she said, I think the run we're on at the moment is the best run the podcast has ever had.

I'm lucky because this one's about to be the best one yet.

Well, I bring it up because I feel like, yeah, we all kind of cursed the run.

Oh, we fucked it.

Yeah.

This is a real, uh, this is a real low point.

For you or the show?

I think for the show, but I'm carrying the weight of it.

I think my ride homes, I think I'm gonna drive home in silence with no radio on, no music, and just have a think.

Mark.

Yeah.

I was talking to Max, the director of Auntie Donna, the Smith.

Max Miller.

And Sam.

Greek.

Sam Lingham.

I was looking at Max's beard and starting to see a little bit of white coming through because we're in our old age now, in our 30s, mid to late 30s.

And I started to talk about, you know, I'm going white as well.

My mustache and bits, they're starting to come through.

Sam is becoming a bit of a peppered fellow.

Zach, I can see you on the chin there.

You, Cunt,

have not aged

in 13 years that I've known you.

Maybe I've known you 15 years, actually, more like 15 years.

Cunt, you have not

aged.

I think he's aged, but well.

Great.

That's lovely.

I don't think the cunt has aged.

My memory of a young Mark was that he was a little worm in a singlet.

Now, that sounds like a joke, but I know Zach is being sincere.

As soon as you say that, I'm like, yeah, that's 22-year-old Mark is a worm in a singlet.

Absolutely.

I connect with that heavily.

Little worm in a singlet.

I remember.

I always liked that little worm.

But I think that little worm, he's grown a beard.

He's filled out.

I think Mark now is all man.

I wasn't saying Mark wasn't all man.

I wasn't saying he wasn't 100% A-grade beef.

Beef hunk.

That's not what I'm saying.

Yeah.

Cut me a slice of that cake.

Beef cake?

Cut me a slice of that mark beef cake.

Look,

I don't know how to respond to this.

Just take it in, honey.

Take it in.

I believe it's a compliment.

But the one thing I will say is that, and my wife says this to me often, is you can't see much of my face.

I have very little face.

You are saving face.

Well,

I know.

My face is quite normal.

What?

Your face is quite normal compared to the rest of your body.

In the sense that...

You don't have a little face at all.

No, I don't mean a little face.

He's saving the face.

I got big features.

I'm talking about a lot of hair.

Oh, you've got little face.

I got glasses.

The hair

down.

Big beard.

Are you saying to me that were you to remove the beard for us to see the chin,

to remove the hair, have a forehead, to remove the glasses see the eyes that you would be a wizened haggard old man no

probably i'd probably still look pretty much like i did when i was 22 but

but but how can we be sure

is my question well i don't know what lies underneath here and i hope to never find out are we sure that you are

not

100% a grade beefcake cut me a slice of that

Because I'm sure you are.

Then I'm a 100% A-grade beefcake.

Cut me a slice of cake.

Australian beefcake.

Australian beef.

Cut me a slice of that beefcake.

Well, that's your decision.

From where I'm sitting, I'm

Australian-made beefcake.

I'm semi-imported.

The cows came from overseas.

You were born and raised, grass-fed Australian, hoppers crossing beef.

Yeah.

Now.

My faith has been tested today.

Can I just say my faith has has been tested today?

I've lost all faith.

I would say this podcast has made me an atheist.

In Christ or

in that we're funny?

In that.

Like, should the podcast continue?

Have we reached the end of our

tether?

Can I answer all of those questions?

Yes.

What was the first one?

I can't remember.

Can I say something?

I think what we need to do right now, this is the decision I've made.

Yeah.

Because I've been on a journey.

I woke up today thinking I was about to be a part of the best podcast ever.

And my faith, it's been tested.

I'm still rattled.

But I think what we need to do is we need to say that this is like a pop star, like a female pop star.

Kelly Roland, if you will.

Or like the WWE

or like WWE.

Or like

what do you mean like

Scrubs when it like a television wiped most of the cast and brought what I think needs to happen right now is we need to say that this episode was the closing out of that great era that we just had and I think it would be

important for us to maybe pray

to

to your God whatever God that you follow and love and believe in

that the that the that the next episode will be the start of a a new era era, maybe a new age, the golden age, or the self-the new Auntie Donna era.

So this, we did have, I agree with Lindsay, we had one of the best runs we've ever had.

We've had some amazing podcasts.

That's like me after eating something that was not good for my tummy, but I love the food.

One of the best runs I've ever had.

Yeah, yes, yes, yes.

Yeah, soft, watery.

Like I hurt, I had a bad day, but

it was worth it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So last time.

Beautiful for all that, all that old raw fish.

Yeah, raw, old, raw fish.

That was good.

Raw, old, raw fish.

This fish, that it was old and raw, was delicious.

Yeah, delicacy in Japan.

No, no, fresh raw.

I don't think it's old.

Delicacy in Japan.

Sometimes, you know, sometimes they say, like, with tuna, you're looking for no taste.

No, you want some of the taste.

I want a little bit of funk.

Sure, okay.

Old.

But not that old.

A couple days.

Old is a state of mind.

Look at this cunt.

He's almost 40.

He looks like he's 22.

22-year-old hunker beefcake.

i don't think i look that young no i don't think you do i think you look um

you you want to look 22 no you look like uh you look 30.

that's a that's that's a lovely comment well look we just got the we just got the green light tell us we've been 30 minutes so we don't have to do this podcast

but i want to before we wrap it up i want to say a few things uh it's been an honor the uh old auntie donner era was so much fun how many episodes was that like hundreds and hundreds 400 and something

so 400 and something amazing episodes you know we've had highs we've had lows oh you're saying

you're not talking about the last five or six episodes what i'm saying is that was the old auntie donna this is the end of the old auntie donna and next week

next week begins begins the new auntie donna era yeah new auntie donna it's going to be the same three faces but it's going to be a whole different look

um

Broadly, like it'll be a similar look, but a whole different, and we'll be wearing the same clothes.

It'll be the same look.

But a whole different vibe, a whole different energy.

A new attitude.

A new attitude.

A new attitude for the new era.

Yeah.

Exciting stuff next week.

This was a weird one, but this was the end of an era we were feeling.

That's true.

Shall we go around and apologize one by one?

Yes.

Yeah, yeah.

Who'd like to start?

I believe it should be me.

I was the one that

you trusted me and my faith.

You let me do an intro before you.

I just think you misread the grumbly tum that maybe you woke up with this.

Yeah.

What did you have for dinner last night?

What did I have for dinner last night?

I think I had some rice.

Yeah.

Where did you get the rice from?

What colour was the rice?

It was good.

Just straight up and down white.

It was from the fridge.

So you were reheating that rice?

Yeah, but it was a couple of days old.

Asmadi?

I don't know.

What colour was the rice after microwaving it?

When you were eating it.

It was white.

It wasn't terribly bad.

Just straight plain white rice.

No soy sauce, no

accompaniment.

What do you think I am?

Chef Boudois D?

Yes, plain white rice.

For dinner.

For dinner.

Microwaved plain white rice.

That was left over from like a curry the night before or...

no last time i had the rice

like you so you cooked the rice no i bought it i overeats you uber is plain white rice i overeats three large rices this is

this is a serial killer this is a guy

or

or he's like training with a kung fu master i had a couple of soy crisps and two oh jesus christ i guess yeah just for a bit of flavor a bit of texture

um

Why are you eating raw white rice?

Is that all you were eating?

Out of the fridge.

Yeah, left over white rice.

I was tired.

I couldn't think of what else I wanted.

But were you tired the initial time as well when you just ordered?

No, I felt like rice.

You got worms, cunt.

I reckon you got worms.

And I hope one of them has a little singlet on, Mark.

Then you'll have a little me inside your poo.

So next week, the whole new era begins.

The new era of Auntie Dotter begins.

Did you want to apologize?

Yeah, I'd like to apologize for,

well, not any of the previous episodes, because

it's been an incredible run from episode one up until

an incredible run.

But for this one, I want to apologize for

believing in...

Zach.

Broden and I should have like

sort of put him into a corner,

you know, like quite aggressively, I think.

Yeah, when I think about it, I think we really should have like pushed him into a corner and gotten closer to his face and went, what is the fucking idea?

Tell us now.

We're not doing it unless you tell it to us.

And if it wasn't funny, then we shouldn't have gone ahead and done it.

Because this didn't have to be the end of the era.

That's true.

So I'd like to apologize for my stupidity.

for my ignorance in having faith.

And I can promise that'll never happen again.

Is that all right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And that's not on you.

That's nothing to do with you.

It feels like it's on me.

It has nothing to do with me.

But I think it should be on me.

You trusted me.

Okay.

Then you.

You trusted me and my faith.

And I let not just you down, I let down our hundreds of listeners.

Brodom.

Dear audience, through our apologies, you've seen that we're sorry for trusting Zach.

We've seen that we are sorry for having faith at the wrong time.

and we've seen that this is a new era I'd like to apologize to you all we don't take you for granted we you are our lifeblood you get us up in the morning and we can't wait to see what drem all around Australia tickets on sale now

and the world sorry I should say

you are what get me Peru when I go to Peru

we're going to we're going to US Canada

New Zealand New Zealand when I go into Peru when not going to Yugoslavia.

Speaking of people in the comments, there was one comment that said,

more than just two cities in Canada.

And I responded and I wrote, but those cities are in Canada.

So we are going to Canada.

Someone wrote a big thing where they're like, I'm going to have to drive all the way to New York.

And I wanted to go, we're flying to New York.

We're flying a lot closer to you than you are driving twice.

But I didn't.

Instead, I just had faith.

In

this podcast, this is going to really turn it all around for me.

Okay.

Oh, no.

Sorry, bro.

I didn't mean to interrupt your

apology.

I just needed to get that off my chest.

I listened to my belly full of rice, and that belly full of rice was right.

We've got to talk about that later.

I think the lesson, if you take anything from this episode,

is if you see Kelly Rowland.

Yes.

Yes.

Don't bring her any bun with that sausage

if she's ordering one.

Yeah.

Just go up and say, hey, Kelly, how is that Kransky?

Or just ask her if she's still doing it.

You still eating loose Kranskies?

Kelly?

You still eating those loose Krankskis on a piece of lettuce?

Join us next week as we debut new, the new Auntie Donna era.

Bye.
