Don't Let Broden Hear This Episode!

A listener production.

Hi, everybody.

It's me, Zach Rowan, from the Auntie Donner podcast.

We have a very, very special episode today.

Sam Lingham, who created the Judas character in the very early days of the podcast, is bringing a brand new character.

And let me tell you, it is a very, very good one.

You're in for a real treat.

This is a new fan favorite, I think.

Enjoy Sam Lingham's character.

If you want to watch the visuals of us doing this podcast, head to auntie donnerclub.com to watch

you listen to the auntie donner podcast the greatest fucking podcast in the world broden like a tack is sometimes a guest we hope you enjoyed the motherfucking podcast well well welcome back to the auntie donner podcast uh broden is still at his old media opportunity he came back

for a few weeks and then uh and then now he's gone back to it yep this is not a situation where we recorded two without him no and then inserted some other podcasts with him in order to like keep it absolutely not mixed up

broden is has gone back to it we're back on a different date

most podcasts are too cowardly to go into the logistics of when they recorded themselves and when they released them not us though not us well because two people had a problem with it and we're petty.

Yeah.

And we were, and, but also we wear our hearts on our sleeve.

And we're honest and we're real.

And we heard that feedback.

Yeah, from like one person or two people

that everyone disagreed with.

And

we just cannot get over that.

Yeah.

Just that slight fucking stab at opinion of one particular person.

But that was right.

You know, when they were bringing news as fresh and as hot as ours,

our podcast is fresh.

I can imagine, especially if you're, and I 100% assume that this person is not subscribed to the Patreon, I can imagine how frustrating it would be to just listen to the voice of someone that was not recorded the morning of Witchie Press Play on the podcast.

That would just make me want to fucking go out there with a machete.

Well, I have a podcast I listen to.

Cunts down.

Okay.

I have a podcast that I listen to sometimes, right?

And he just talks about like he'll just talk to like different people that are interesting

about their entire careers and stuff.

And it's such a shame when I forget to listen to it the day it comes out

because I'm like, wow, it's old now.

I have no interest in listening to this guy.

It makes my blood boil.

Yeah, what's the point?

What is the point?

Especially for me when it's not about

current things.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, when it's just some dude talking about their life.

When it's just whatever, you know, if it's just like an irrelevant comedy podcast, it really gets my goat.

Yeah.

So I was.

The Oscars were on yesterday.

Any hot takes?

Any hot takes on the Oscars?

That was two days ago.

Two days ago.

Two days ago.

No, I thought it was a good Oscars.

I thought it was a great Oscars.

I watched it for the first time in years because it happened on Labor Day.

Which was two days ago.

Which was two days ago.

It was hot.

That was a hot day.

But I can't remember it, to be honest.

I can't remember the Oscars because it was many months ago.

But I remember it being a good year for the Oscars.

I liked that there was lots of variety in the winners.

I liked that the winner was a big Oscary movie that hasn't happened in a long time.

It was fun.

And I'm glad Maestro didn't win.

Best pitcher.

Oh, poor Bradley Coops.

No, not Paul Bradley Coops.

Poor Bradley Coops, give him an Osc.

Nights.

Give him a little.

You watch even just a little bit of Maestro and you're like,

give Coops an Oscar.

He's like, oh,

this man is going for something that there's not an ounce of earnestness.

Boy,

he put a fake nose on.

He was like, I'll win an Oscar.

He wants a little Osc.

Give him an Osc.

If you wanted an Oscar, give him an Oscar.

You know, he should have got it for Silver Lining's playbook.

You know, great performance.

Wonderful.

Yeah.

Not for maestro.

Fuck off.

Give him an Oscar.

It doesn't matter.

Yeah, I mean, that is the biggest thing for me about the Oscars is who gives a fuck?

Yeah.

Have you noticed?

Give him an Oscar.

No one gives a fuck.

Have you noticed they all go to actors?

They do all go to actors, except for the best director.

Yeah.

And sometimes.

Sometimes that goes to an actor.

Sometimes it goes to an actor.

Well, you know, best producer.

Sometimes that goes to an actor.

Sometimes that goes to an actor.

Well, not best producer.

It's not an award for best producer.

He's a producer.

Yeah, exactly.

So best pitcher, you know, she would get up.

She was nominated for not best visual effects.

Sometimes that goes to a director.

Sometimes that goes to a director.

In fact, it would have with Godzilla minus one.

I believe he was the director of Visual Expo.

Had an incredible film.

Anyway, we're not here to talk about Oscar Buzz, which is...

which happened months ago.

I can barely remember it.

But we are here to introduce Sam Lingham.

And Sam has a new character for us.

Now, we had Sam on a few

weeks ago.

We didn't get to his character because we met a very interesting fella.

Yes, we did.

Who was a data entry guy who lived in Melbourne?

And we went on a journey, didn't we?

We did.

From memory, he loved

fried rice.

and was a manager and the cord on his PS4 was broken.

I don't remember much other than that.

No.

But I remember him being really interesting.

Yeah.

I have a vague sense of like, don't read a book.

Don't read it.

Don't read a book.

Don't read a book.

Don't read a book.

Don't read a book, especially if it doesn't have a cover.

Don't read a book.

Don't read a book.

Even if it's got a cover.

Even if it's got a cover,

Sam, you've got a new character.

Old fans of the pod know you for Judas, but you've got a new character.

You teased his name.

What's his name?

You tickled us under the pits last time you were here with a little teaser.

I gave you a little teaser.

I felt like I was the star of the documentary Tickled.

Okay.

Because you piqued my interest and, as an old, rich man who's a bit weird, gave me a stiffy.

What

is the character's name?

Again, I've forgotten.

Well, her name.

Is Bobby T.

I can't.

Bobby T.

Should we just introduce, or do you want to talk about Bobby T or do you want to introduce me?

Should we talk about the origins of Bobby T?

How do you want us to meet Bobby T?

I don't know.

All show.

I'm mildly terrified.

Are you?

Yeah, he was like when he said at the start of this, he said, I got a great character.

You don't need to know anything.

It's going to bring the house down.

Well, because

the last character did.

The last character that you introduced on the podcast over

eight years ago, something like that.

Yeah.

People are a huge fan favourite.

Judas.

Where's Judas?

Because people know Judas.

People know Judas.

I I worry that people might not know this character.

Because is this also a biblical character?

No.

No, Bobby T is not based on anyone in the Bible.

Sam, how do you want to bring in Bobby T?

What do you want to do?

Do you want to just bring Bobby T in?

Do you want us to talk to you about Bobby T?

B-O-B-B-I-E?

T-E-A?

I think it's Y.

It's Y?

B-O-B-B-Y, just T?

I think I'd have to look it up.

Yeah.

Oh, it's a real person.

Sam, just bring in Bobby T.

Maybe.

You don't have to.

All right, let's go.

No, but is it all right?

You just want to do it?

Yeah, let's bring him.

Hey, I'm Bobbin.

How are you doing?

Hell right here, Bobby T, Bobby T, Bobby T.

Hey.

Hello, Bobby T.

How are you today?

Hello, Bobby T.

How are you today?

If you're just tuning in, we've got a head writer Sam Lingham in.

He's got a new character called Bobby T.

I went to high school with Daniel Eck.

He went to high school with Daniel Eck.

Bobby T.

Who's Daniel T?

He's Daniel Eck.

And found those bonfires.

So Bobby T is a real person.

I'm real.

I'm so real.

Bobby T.

Am I real?

Bobby T.

Wow.

Wow.

I was not.

Sam, you know, he's a writer.

You know, he's known for his.

He often, you know.

If I'm going to be real for a moment, if I'm going to be real and give an insight into the process,

our biggest points where Sam and I clash is often I'm often trying to get more space in a scene or in a shoot to play big characters and be silly.

Sam really loves cleverly written dialogue.

He likes to get his writing in, I would say.

We call it a clash of the titans.

Well, no, I just think, you know, there's always differences of opinions, and it's a fair,

it's that balance that finds the greatness.

So what I was expecting

was something more from that school.

And that I get this.

Well, what a treat.

Hi, Bobby T.

Hi, I'm Bobbin.

Bobby Bobby T Bobby Bobby T

you love to say your name I'm Bobbit you're Bobbit yeah

is there you're Bobbit yeah okay he's Bobbit now Bobby T

you went to high school with the guy that started Spotify yeah I'm real you're real you're real you are a real person

I'm I'm real

See, this is why I would have liked to have known some or you should have.

This is my call.

I said it'd be fun if we just met Bobby T in the podcast bobby t

are you yeah are you aware enough a little bit of context would help me are you aware enough to be able to talk about yourself uh as as a as a fictional character i'm a musician he's a musician i'm i'm a woman

You're a woman.

I'm a swim.

I'm real.

Bobby T is a woman that is real.

Are you able to talk about how Sam got onto this idea, Bobby T?

Who's Sam?

Okay, well,

then maybe we can.

Can we?

Yeah.

And not to say that I'm not enjoying Bobby T

because I am.

Bobby T doesn't have a lot to say, but I did learn from previous experiences that investigating a character can often lead to them having been given the powers of a wizard.

Can I ask a question?

Yes, please.

Were you given the powers of a wizard by a wizard in Tokyo?

No, I was almost given a record deal, but how to make money.

So artists and Spotify changed.

okay, so I'm starting to see a little bit of a thing here.

So, Bobby T went to high school with the guy that started Spotify.

Daniel Eck!

Daniel Eck.

Ek Ek Ek

Ek Eck Daniel Eck Ek

Egg Ek Egg Ek Ek E K Eck Eck Egg Eck Like Aaron Eck Like an omelette like you make an omelette out of an egg eck eck Daniel Eck egg.

No, like ek.

No, like ek heart, but without the heart.

Like egg heart.

No, eh.

Why are you just thinking?

Why are you just thinking ek sounds like egg now?

The heart of an egg is a yolk.

I can't even fucking begin to deal with this.

I'm real.

You're real.

Bobby T is a real woman, and I imagine went to high school with the creator of Spotify, and now, as a musician, is finding it hard to make money.

And I guess ruse the day that they knew Aaron Eck.

Daniel Eck!

Daniel Eck.

Aaron Egg.

Hey, my friend from Hart.

He came to my gig.

Came to his gig.

Daniel Egg

came to your gig.

Daniel Eck!

Yeah.

Daniel Eck.

And then he started Spotify.

This was in the time of he was trying to reckon with the ideology of Spotify replacing part by the ethics of artists.

Making music accessible for the people.

That's a lot.

That's a lot of information.

This character is the spiritual successor to judas well you don't do you because you are bobby tudas were bad yeah right bobby t was a musician who knew

aaron egg the founder

daniel egg daniel egg the yes daniel egg

yeah egg bobby t is a is a stickler for pronunciation i'm bobbit Bobbitt.

What instruments do you play, Bobby, too?

I'm Voguest!

There may be other things I can't remember.

You can't remember, but you are.

Okay.

Okay, let's.

Time out.

Let's have a timeout.

But not a joke one, like a real one.

Like a real one.

What's going on?

Hey, Sam.

Is it going well?

Do you think I think it's going very well?

I think it's good.

Okay.

I have some questions.

I've got some questions.

So, because this is the follow-up to Judas, and I am so excited to see

people on the fan forums people have been saying bring back judas people on the red but it's like we don't we're not like that we don't uh i don't think we've ever done like a repeat character on a podcast before we're very much one and done that's the jj abrams way and we like to think of ourselves more like as george lucases we give the people what they don't even know they want exactly oh you thought you wanted a planet full of chewbakers no i'm going to give you small chewbuckers

tiny little chewbuckers Is that what that was originally?

It was going to be a Wookiee Planet.

And then they were like,

I think they were like, we can make more money if they're cute little chewbaskets.

Look, he's a man

with motivations that are

solely surrounded around the idea of money.

Now,

and he's completely creatively bankrupt.

But now,

in my opinion, now.

I'd believe the prequels are nothing but toy commercials.

I don't think anyone else has that opinion.

No, it's a hot take.

It's a hot take.

And this is why you were so glad when

JJ Abrams came and fixed the franchise.

Oh.

It was twice,

twice.

Fixed it twice.

Because it was dipping for a moment, but he came back and he saved it.

No one else thinks this.

Now, Bobby T.

Tell us about Bobby T, Sam.

Well, have you guys seen the Swedish limited series called The Playlist?

No.

You haven't seen, okay, this might be a bit confusing if you haven't seen that series.

Right.

So that series,

it's about the founding of Spotify.

Okay.

Right.

In that series, and each episode follows a different

real person.

Right.

So there'd be like an episode about

the record label guy or Daniel Eck, the founder or the marketing person.

There's also an episode on Bobby T, who is not a real person.

What do you mean?

Is Bobby T like an imagined artist?

An imagined artist?

The analogue for artists within the universe of this show, which is all about real people, is Bobby T.

Is it a limited series?

It's a limited series.

It's not a documentary series.

No.

It's fictionalized.

But each episode is about...

like a real person.

And they've made up a character called Bobby T.

Who represents all artists.

Rather than find an artist with an interesting story and just incorporate them into the mix.

No, no, Bobby T went to high school with Daniel Eck.

Which I guess adds some emotional complexity, right?

Because Bobby T's like,

how could you do this to me?

Yeah, she's already struggling to make money.

She's already struggling to make money.

She's got a daughter at home.

Aaron Eck fucks her over.

Daniel, he doesn't really do it.

Then she ends up

actually an enemy.

He's not.

It doesn't have a.

I don't know, for better or worse, it doesn't really say 20 years ago.

Yeah, if you had asked me what's a genre that I think is underrated, I would have said historical dramas set in the very, very recent past.

I thought, like, I love the queen.

I think it's, I used to think that's such a cool thing to do to set something in a past that hasn't been formalized by history yet.

I have changed my opinion.

The last few years has been a little rough for that genre.

Yeah, yeah, that's fair.

The creator of the crown,

the creator of the crown, said he does, I think he now has a 20-year limit.

He doesn't go any closer in history than 20 years

because he's like, that takes, that's how long it takes to find.

He's like, there are things happening right now that we think are really important that we won't remember.

And he said, there are things happening right now that we don't even know about that are the most important things.

And this series sounds like maybe it was a little soon to talk about Aaron Egg and his friend Bobby T.

Daniel Eck.

Right.

Maybe.

Oh, so is that more of you guys?

Is that you being

his name's Daniel Eck.

Yeah, Aaron Eck, that's what I'm saying.

It's Daniel Eck.

And Dan Aaron Egg.

Does Bobby T

sound like that?

No, no, not at all.

You've added that later.

They are Swedish, but no.

In no way, shape or form.

Right.

I think with all of this context, I'm happy to get to know Bobby T more.

I'm also happy to bring Bobby T in

next, like at a later date when Broden's in.

And we'll introduce Bobby T to Broden.

I would love,

I would love, because the chances of Broden hearing this episode.

He listens to it.

Of us, he's the most likely to listen to it.

So we'll just have to ask him not to.

Yes.

And what I would like.

from you, dear listeners,

is I would say, and I already know that you love Bobby T, but regardless of your thoughts on Bobby T,

let's do a little joke for Broden.

I would love

if every single one of you, and please know that Broden will not know this because we're going to tell him not to listen to this episode.

I would love for people to be like,

Bobby T is fucking sick.

And let's not put Bobby T on any of the social posts.

Let's not reveal Bobby T.

I would like to keep Bobby T hidden from Broden.

I want everyone out there.

I want you to be tweeting.

I want you to be on the Reddit all in earnest.

Instagram comments, TikTok comments.

Just be like,

Bobby T is the character for me.

Don't play it too big.

No, do you know?

And don't get too repetitive.

Try to find your own way of saying it and try to respond to each other as well.

So do things like just saying like,

Great episode.

Bobby T is such a funny character.

And then respond under it with something like, I know, right?

Not what I was expecting at all, but absolutely loved it.

But then I think for balance, also some other people jumping in there going, I do miss Judas.

Like just a bit of like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I prefer

to be able to do that.

Read through the comments before you do that.

We only want like a couple of them.

And I want to be clear here.

Now, the reason why I think this would just be a great little bit is that for Broden to have this air of what's Bobby T, I'm excited for Bobby T.

And we have to tell him to not listen to it because we're like, we want your genuine reaction to it.

I mean, that is really the point of it is I just want to see his genuine reaction.

The other thing is, you immediately got Bobby T.

So to anyone listening, you heard Bobby T and you got it.

You don't have to say that, but that's the implication.

There was no explanation about who Bobby T was.

You're like, yeah, I know that character.

Like, you know, he hinted the name, and I was like, yep, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And you just thought that was such a funny take on such a clear, such a clear

character.

Well known, I think.

Well, yeah, just being like, just being like, fucking nailed it.

There's something about just being like, Sam nailed it.

And

it's one of those characters that maybe you're like, oh, yes.

Of course, I would never think to do Bobby T

on the auntie done a podcast.

But

now it's like, of course, Sam did it.

What a great fucking choice.

That's so cool.

Love Bobby T.

Love the satire of Bobby T.

Yep.

You got Bobby T.

Any other thoughts on Bobby T?

No, I think that's great.

No, I just think that'll be a fun thing.

Hey, let's try it.

You know, we don't often do large-scale pranks on this podcast.

Two people in the target because we bank these podcasts we bank them like crazy we fucking bank them up man so i don't know

how we're gonna we're doing eight nine a day i don't know how we're gonna time this man

because should we also at the end of that episode just as a fun prank pour like a quarter of a cup of water on broden Yes.

Like just a small amount of water.

Just a small amount of water.

Just to prank him a bit.

So, but what will happen is this will come out and then we will that week and Lindsay will be on top of this.

Yeah.

The week that this episode comes out, the next podcast that we record will be the Broden's reaction.

Broden meeting Bobby T.

Yeah, but we have to like,

we can't put Bobby T in any of the social clips.

We can't let Broden listen to it.

So if you're a loved one of Broden's.

Take every every time he's putting headphones in you just

rip them out of his fucking ears.

Don't do that if he's if you're a stranger on on the street.

Don't bother him.

Leave him alone.

But if you'd know him, he's a person, too.

You don't actually know him.

You don't actually know him well enough.

You'd go up and be like, oh, hey, Annie Donna, can I get a photo?

Nice.

Don't you fucking dare mention Bobby T and don't you fucking dare touch him.

But you can touch Mark and Zach.

You know, depending on the circumstance.

I don't mind being touched, but just not by weirdos.

Don't do a bit.

Don't do a bit.

If you want to shake my hand,

just make sure your hand is dry.

Too many wet hands out there.

Some people got the thing, though.

Some people got a clammy hand.

I'm not talking about a sweaty hand.

I'm talking about an unidentified liquid wet hand.

Clammy hand.

Clammy hand right now.

That's fine.

I don't mind that.

That's not.

That's not.

Your hand is quite clammy.

Mine?

Oh, the hypocrisy.

No, mine's dry as a bone.

Let me feel that hand.

Oh, you have dry hands.

If you subscribe to the Undenied Club, you can see us touching hands.

You have cold hands.

Mark doesn't have clammy hands.

I just realized that when he revealed himself to have a problem with clammy hands, I thought it was a good thing.

I didn't say I have a problem with clammy hands.

I don't have a problem with clammy hands.

I have a problem with hands that have been in a bucket of clams.

It's got a clammy hand.

No, a clammy hand is someone, they sweat.

They have wet, clammy hands from their natural sweat.

That's fine.

I don't judge a person for that.

We're still touching hands, by the way, everyone.

And it feels quite nice.

So you just jump on those comments, you jump on the Reddit.

Don't try to be the one that started the Reddit.

This is a teamwork thing.

We don't want 20 Reddit threads saying

whoever gets in there first, good for you, you win.

The way you then support us is when someone says, I don't know what anyone else thinks, but I think Bobby T's the best character to ever come out of Dunny Donna.

Things like, I have to say, I agree.

I have to say, I agree.

And be like, it's up there for best character for

just be genuine and earnest.

Don't hype it too much.

Don't go too hard.

And find the right fucking balance here.

Otherwise,

someone else temper.

Someone getting in there and tempering and being like, I don't know.

It's not quite for me.

But maybe.

But if somebody's done that, pull back.

Pull back and be like, call them an idiot.

Downvote them.

I want one of you.

No more.

No more than one.

Downvote them to Hal on the bottom.

No more than one.

I think maybe like 10.

No, just a few downvotes.

Just a few.

But no more more than one.

I want one of you to make a burner account.

Only one of you.

Yeah.

So once this has been done, no one else is allowed to do this.

One of you to make a burner account that says, I didn't get Bobby T.

I thought it was too obvious.

I thought it was too simple.

I got what they were going for, but I don't think it was funny.

And I really thought it was one of the worst characters they've done.

One of you does that.

Really tear into Bobby T, but specifically because it was too clear what the joke was.

I want this on the Discord 2 to be clear, all right?

Because I know Mr.

Kelly checks the Discord.

So on the Discord 2, all right?

It's not like the Discord is a safe space where you can talk about the prank we're doing.

No, no, no, no.

There are no safe spaces.

There are no safe spaces.

And I agree.

One of you do that and then everyone downvote the hell out of that.

Yeah.

Because that will also say how popular this character is.

Yes.

So yes.

Make sure when you go on that Reddit thread, you say positive things about Bobby T and you downvote the one super negative thing about Bobby T.

Yes.

Those are your two jobs on the Reddit thread.

Yeah, and don't fight.

Don't fight like

positive.

Don't fight to be the one to start the fucking thread.

Don't be the one to fucking

fight to be the negative one.

Just let it happen.

This is a community effort.

All right.

We're going to celebrate those people.

Not be jealous of them.

We're going to celebrate each other because here's the thing.

If you come in, if we have 40 Bobby T

separate it's going to be obvious obvious yeah all right i'm asking the moderators to be out there doing a job doing their job because we don't control the reddit we don't control the discord they're not official right we have no control over this prank no get in those comments though on the instagram yes

yes we want a lot of groundswell for bobby t

I really think this could be the greatest prank ever done on the Auntie Donapod.

What's the plan, though?

What's the plan?

What do you mean?

I know that this bit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then we get Bobby T on.

I've got that far ahead.

I'm fucking no man.

I don't know.

I had a thought.

I started running with it.

All right, here's another lady.

Fucking you do your part.

You've helped.

All right, I'll come at it.

I got a question.

When we got to the end of the episode, was Sam a bit unsure about Bobby T?

And we loved Bobby T?

And then part of the comments are coming from a place of, I don't know what Sam was talking about, Bobby T is great, or is that the wrong angle?

No, no, that's wrong.

Don't scratch what I just said.

You just really liked Bobby T.

Yeah.

It was a great episode, and you loved Bobby T.

Yeah.

And you got Bobby T.

And I think us in the office and stuff,

we're like,

yeah, fuck, it was,

I think we need to approach it with this.

Fuck, it was fucking good.

It was fucking funny, man.

And it was, Sam.

Don't think that this prank is.

Yes, but I'm also thinking.

I reckon we just dial back like 10%.

Okay, please.

You know what I mean?

Like, if it's too fortunate.

Okay, so for us, we were just like...

It was fun.

Yeah, it was great.

It was great.

I think it'd be fun.

I mean,

we go to him.

I think it'll be fun to do one where you meet the character.

So don't listen to that one.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So we very casually say,

I think it'd be really fun for you to meet the character and not know the circle, like not not know the character.

That's great.

And yeah, and let's not, none of us,

we're not commenting on the discourse that's happening through Reddit and the Discord.

Let Broden come to us with that.

And we go, oh, really?

We haven't checked.

Oh, I haven't seen.

And then in that moment,

that's how subtle it has to be.

But it has to be good.

You love Bobby T.

Our audience, our fans, we are asking a great deal from you, but I do believe in people that listen to this podcast.

Because you you don't want to go too subtle here.

No,

you believe in them.

I believe that

they can do this.

I believe that they can pull this off.

I believe that they can come together as one sort of organism.

Because it's really what we're asking here is to come together and be clear-minded.

And it's a hard thing to do to ask an odd,

you know, however many people listen to this.

Oh, we're touching hands again.

Sam's really big on the touching the hands.

We're asking people to to come together as one being as one thought as one mind

and to pull this off and i believe you can what i need you each to do as an individual what i need you to do is not stress about being the best or the funniest yeah what you need to do is when you come to this

Whatever platform you use, maybe a couple of platforms.

Are you right in this?

You need to come to the platform.

You need to look at all the comments that have happened so far.

You need to look at the tapestry.

Yes.

And you need to think, what little color can I add that will enhance this tapestry?

Yes, you do not want to get the most up votes.

What you want to do is, you want to add to the tapestry.

If you go, oh, it's a little too much, I'll do a subtle plug for Bobby T.

Oh, maybe it's a little too stuffed, I'll up Bobby T a little bit.

We want to see the side, the big picture here, and that's what you're doing.

You're just adding a bit of color.

And maybe you've come a little bit too late, and maybe

what you have to reconcile with yourself is maybe the best thing for me to do here is actually nothing.

Go find another platform.

Is to find another platform.

Comment somewhere else.

Maybe just upvote where you need to upvote.

Maybe send a letter to the editor.

Maybe what edit?

What?

Just something.

You can send a letter to the editor.

About a different thing?

No, I think about this.

About this.

Yeah.

What editor?

Like a paper?

Like the local rag, you know?

All right.

that's strange, but sure, it doesn't.

Sorry, I was just trying to like give him something else to do.

Like, I just didn't want to, I don't know.

Right, okay, yeah,

I thought it was too non-specific being, like, just go to something else.

All right, write some letters to the editor.

Two of you, no more than two, can do a post on your own feed about how much you love Bobby T

where you tag Auntie Donna.

Make sure you tag Auntie Donna, but before you do this, you have to go to the Auntie Auntie Donna Instagram, look at tagged images.

And no more than two can do.

We can have one fan art and just one post.

Now, the post.

The post,

I want the post to be of you having a cup of tea in the morning

and being like...

Just one post.

One post.

Listening to Auntie Donna, drinking my tea, reminding me of Bobby T.

Something around those

something about that, just like or like a Bobby T reference doesn't even have to be from the podcast.

No, just like I look like a regular Bobby T

holding a cup of tea.

One of you.

One of you.

If someone's done it, you've missed it.

I will allow two fan arts, actually.

I've changed my mind.

There can be two fan arts.

A fan art of how you imagine Bobby T looks.

Do not fuck us on this.

Do not fuck us on this.

Okay.

You go too hard.

It's obvious.

You will ruin our fun.

And we don't get a lot of joy in our lives anymore.

This is a job for us.

We fucking rock up, we clock in, we do our thing, and then we clock out.

This is the most excited I've been about anything for at least four to five years.

Please, please just do what we are asking and don't fucking ruin this, okay?

Please.

50% of you,

50% of you have seen the Swedish miniseries this character is based on.

You're so familiar with the show, you don't have to mention that you've seen it.

This is just the idea of I knew who he was doing as soon as he started because you've seen the Swedish television show.

But the show in your world is so successful and has such a big cut through that you don't have to mention the name of the show.

Really understand this.

You don't have to go, oh, I've seen it, da, da, da, da, da, da, I've seen it.

You just go, I knew it was that.

I knew what he was doing from the moment I heard.

The other 50% have not seen the show, but you've heard of it, you understood the character he was going for.

If someone came and did Zendaya in Dune, I haven't seen it yet because it only came out like last week.

If someone was doing Zen, I would still understand the character.

Do you know what I'm saying?

You know Scott Juniors and you understand.

What's the name of this show?

The playlist.

The playlist.

What platform is it on?

I saw it on Netflix.

Yeah, you've seen the playlist.

Hey, it probably is a biggish deal.

You've seen the playlist.

You love the playlist.

50% of you have seen it.

50% of you haven't, but none of you need to mention the playlist.

Do not mention the playlist.

Do not.

Do not mention the show.

Anything else for them?

Just fucking have a good day.

Yeah, and have fun with it.

Yeah, have fun with it.

Have fun.

Not too much, though.

Not too much.

Because remember, like, it is fun.

Inherently, what we're doing is fun.

So you don't need to have too much fun with it.

It should already be quite fun.

We're all playing a podcast.

This is already quite fun.

This is the biggest prank that I think

has ever happened on this podcast.

And

it's very exciting to me.

it's very exciting to me so my big um you know if there's like a if there's a way that like a mod on discord can make like a secret channel that only some people can access definitely not broden where you want to write down the rules and have them clear

that would be great you don't need to do that you really got to do this on your own don't expect someone to tell you what to do

exactly exactly yeah you know what scratch that no because i think any planning we're getting

scratch that scratch what i said i don't want to see any secret channel bullshit.

All right, I agree.

I agree.

And I am so sorry for having brought that up.

That almost ruined my fun.

Don't you fuck this.

I don't want to fuck this for me, and I don't want anyone else to fuck this for us, especially Broden.

Because Broden's going to have a good time.

What's going to happen here?

Imagine, imagine his reaction.

So we're.

So what's going to happen?

We never had this conversation.

To the listener, we never had this conversation.

None of you are to make any allusion to the tone of this podcast i swear to fucking god i swear to even to me or zach or sam if you see us on the street you just count out

yes if i hear bobby t

if you see us including broden walking down the street

most of the time i don't like people yelling out from cars it makes me uncomfortable yeah

But if you see us, including Broden, any of us and Broden, it can't just be Broden, it has to be any of us and Broden.

And you're driving past and you see us, you have permission to wind down the window and yell out, Bobby T!

Yes.

Yes.

All right, but nothing else.

And not just to Broden.

Don't fucking wink at me.

If you see,

don't fucking like bring up like we're in on some fucking joke.

I don't want to fucking see that.

We are in on a little joke.

That's what we're playing here.

We are.

This is fun.

But if you fucking bring that into my,

if you make it obvious that that you know what I know, I swear to God.

If I see a single comment along the lines of, oh, this was a little bit different, or oh, I did or I didn't like that they were playing a prank or, you know, anything like that, oh, I wish I got to see more of Bobby T, if the implication is because we didn't let Sam do Bobby T for very long, really,

the podcast that you just listened to, for any published material,

to be clear, is this.

We,

after having done the wizard thing, did a bit of a preamble for about four minutes.

It's basically the same preamble you heard.

That didn't change.

That's the same.

Now, when we said, should we bring on Bobby T,

Bobby T came in.

That was the same.

Sam did the same character.

Yes.

Sam did the same joke.

The Aaron Egg bit happened.

All of that happened.

But from the time out onwards, that did not occur.

Nothing like that occurred.

Not even a subtle, oh,

no.

No.

Nothing.

You cannot imply that.

Don't you dare.

All that happened after the timeout

was Sam continued to do Bobby T.

We got to know Bobby T more.

We understood the joke.

We were like, oh, this is the fictional character from the playlist.

But Sam's changed the voice.

We got it immediately.

Straight away.

And we riffed with the character.

You, the listener, got it immediately.

And you loved Sam's take on the character.

That is what happened for 40 minutes.

And if I see anything implying anything else, I swear to fucking God,

I will break up this group.

And you will not get any more Auntie Donna content for the rest of your fucking life.

Don't ruin this.

Don't ruin this.

This is on your shoulders, the listener.

This is on your fucking shoulders.

We need Broden sitting down at this fucking podcast table with an unequivocal belief that he saw the popularity of Bobby T, that he asked for Bobby T to come on the podcast, and that he is excited to hear one of the best characters that have ever been created.

Because we are going to be putting in the effort to gaslight Broden ourselves in the sense that I am going to try to make him suggest that Sam come back on and do Bobby T for him.

We're going to ensure that Sam is free on the day

and we want everything to be Broden thinking this is a really clear character.

And then he does Bobby T.

I'll go off and watch a little bit of this playlist show.

Yeah.

So Umar.

Yep.

A little bit.

I'll do my fucking homework.

And we're going to know Bobby T.

And you're going to know Bobby T.

And we're all going to have a bit of a laugh because Broden will like not get it and be nice about it.

And this is your call to action.

Go now.

Go.

Go now.

Do that now.

We are implementing the plan Big Broden prank.

Well, I don't want to see Big Broden prank.

But I don't want to fucking see the name of the operation anywhere.

Let's actually change.

No, no.

I don't want to hear about any operation.

I don't want to hear about any prank.

We all know.

That it's called Operation Big Broden Prank, but we're not saying that.

We're deleting that from our memory.

Go now.

Here's what happened.

Here's what happened to you, the listener okay we need to step away from any concept of a prank or a game here's what happened you just finished the podcast we just said thank you so much bobby t

bobby t said

i'm real

we said yes you are

and then we ended it because that got a big laugh and i said yes you are that got a big laugh we ended it right

you have been laughing the whole time

You were like, that is the best episode I've ever heard.

Right.

That's what happened to you.

Maybe one of you didn't like it and some of you just liked it.

But a lot of you, wow, that was a real killer of an episode.

Some of you jumped straight onto social media only if you were the type that would have done that anyway.

If you are not the type that would have gone straight to any of the social medias, don't do it.

Let the people that do it do it.

And if you've missed missed the window, if you're usually someone that's done it, someone else has stolen the time, that's okay.

We're building a tapestry here.

Most of you just listened to the best podcast you've ever heard

and a great character that you understood.

And you've gone, oh, that was great.

You then go to your social media of choice.

You then see our post

about Bobby T or maybe one from the day before or maybe one from the day after, maybe it's not about Bobby T, maybe it's not about the podcast.

You might search for it,

but I want you to imagine it's just popped up in your feed.

And you feel compelled to say something.

You feel compelled to say, oh, Bobby T was great.

You can, that's up to you.

Maybe you open it up, you see there's a lot of comments about Bobby T.

So instead of saying something, you instead reply to someone else.

Maybe you tag someone, a friend,

and you say, Bobby T.

Or tag a friend and say, this is the podcast, this is the episode I want you to listen to.

Or tag someone and say, this is the podcast with Bobby T.

Things like that.

Keep it subtle.

Keep it different.

Keep it interesting.

Incredible episode, boys.

Really funny.

Yeah, good stuff.

Some of you don't have to mention stuff like stuff like, but if you were like, was listening to the Bobby T podcast on the train and the way everyone else was looking at me while I was just pissing myself laughing.

But we can only have like three or four of them per thing.

Yes.

Yeah.

There's no operation.

There's no plan.

You just listen to the best podcasts of your life and you want to tell people about it.

That's all.

That's all it is.

I'm excited for when this is happening and I can look at my feed and I I just hope my heart doesn't get broken.

Don't fuck this forever because I really

now I've really got a lot writing on this to the point where I'm past the anger and and the you know the being like you better not now.

I'm just like please because now please please let this work now.

I'm anticipating there's going to be two or three of you.

There's like thousands of people listening to this podcast right now.

We don't usually not right now,

but no as you yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's a hard time.

Yeah, no, no, no, but yeah it's interesting isn't it but there like to to the person listening every person listening right now is all listening right now if that makes sense yeah yeah no it's hard to explain but what i'm saying is to you the listener because right now lindsay's listening yeah right right now to us but to the listener there are other people over a series of days and weeks experiencing the same things now is the listener a moniker for lindsay no no listener because it listener

on the mic No, I'm not talking about the brand listener.

I'm talking about the listener.

Listener.

Now, of the many thousands of listeners, there are going to be a few that are seeing this sort of, oh, don't fuck this as some sort of call to action.

Oh, I get to be the one to fuck it, and that's going to be the joke.

Please.

It isn't.

It's not.

It's not smart.

It's not clever.

It'll genuinely upset me.

If you ruin it for us,

like, good for you.

Well done.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Awesome.

Yeah, great job.

Yeah.

Oh, awesome.

You fucked it.

Cool.

I'm just, all that's going to do is just make me have a shit Wednesday.

Hate that.

And please, so please don't do that.

Yeah, just don't fucking do it.

Just please don't.

Like, it's not, there's no,

this will be fun.

This will be a fun little bit.

Sam, thanks so much for coming on the show coming up.

I'm glad you love the character so much and you just can't wait for Broden to get to see it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's good.

For those watching on the Auntie Dona Club on the visual, I'm winking to Sam right now.

It's been an incredible day.

It's been an incredible afternoon.

We've met an incredible new character.

Oh, I love that character.

And we have a beautiful little plan.

And I can't wait to see it happen.
