Show Notes
Beekeeper. Commercial pilot. Eco-bunker baron.
Leave your assumptions at the door, because the real Ryan Moloney (Neighbours’ Jarrod “Toadie/Toadfish” Rebecchi) has some serious layers.
For 30 years, Ryan brought Toadie (and his undercuts) into our living rooms. Now he takes the bins out with Takaya Honda (David Tanaka) and Matty Wilson (Aaron Brennan), and you’d better believe this Bin Night chat is deep and it is candid.
Content Warning: Suicide is discussed in this episode. If you'd like to give that a miss, skip listening to the three or so minutes from 54:03.00 to 57:16.00.
Ryan gives Tak and Matty a deep dive on:
How we could have had Ryan Moloney plumber or Air Force pilot instead of Ramsay Street resident Growing up on TV and being on the lookout for projectiles in nightclubs Why sometimes you should stay until they fire you How he wanted Toadie to leave the show Growing produce, solar and working the land Beekeeping Hyperfocus, ADHD energy bursts and doing the impossible
Plus Producer (Peeping) Tom emerges from the trash with a Bin Chicken Dilemma. Got a dilemma you’d like Tak and Matty’s help with? Send a voice memo or email: [email protected]
Bin Night with Tak & Matty is your unofficial Neighbours after-party, where your favourite Ramsay Street couple wheel the bins out, talk trash, and bicker like an old married couple about the show, the cast, the fans, and what really happens after the credits roll.
