Popular podcast duo Toni Lodge and Ryan Dunn stun fans with concerning post - as their latest episode ends abruptly: 'We've done nothing wrong'
Fans of Aussie comedy podcast Toni and Ryan were left reeling after their latest episode took an unsettling turn - ending suddenly in darkness following an eerie knock at the door.
The beloved hosts, Toni Lodge and Ryan Dunn, who are known for their sharp banter, shocked their fanbase on Friday when their most recent upload abruptly cut to black after an unknown interruption mid-recording.
Moments later, Ryan took to Facebook and Instagram with a concerning post telling fans not to 'worry', adding he and co-host Toni had 'done nothing wrong'.
In the final moments of the episode, a loud knock can be heard off-camera, prompting visible confusion from both Toni and Ryan as well as their producers.

The screen then cuts to black - no sign-off, no outro music, no context.
The jarring cliffhanger left fans spiralling across multiple platforms, with YouTube and Facebook comments flooding in as the show's devoted listeners tried to make sense of the bizarre ending.
'I feel like Toni - I just broke out in a sweat and will worry until I know what's happening,' one fan wrote. Another chimed in: 'Tell me now or I'll throw up.'
Others drew comparisons to work-induced anxiety: 'This is like when your boss messages you on Teams with just "Hi" and goes silent,' joked one viewer.
Meanwhile, fans repeatedly referenced the duo's long-standing mantra: 'We don't do pranks.'
'Okay so what happened at the end? We don't do pranks. Remember?' one top-liked YouTube comment read, echoing the sentiment of hundreds who feared something serious had occurred.
While a few viewers noticed clues indicating the moment may have been edited for dramatic effect – including a horror-style sound effect after the screen went black – many said the lack of explanation made it all the more stressful.
'Me trying not to spiral into a pit of anxiety over that ending,' another fan wrote, repeating the line: 'We don't do pranks, we don't do pranks…'

Despite the chaos online, others were quick to reassure that the post-production process likely means all is well.
'They had to edit and upload the video after this, so they must be okay,' one user reasoned.
Shortly after the backlash and panic online, the duo posted a black screen to Instagram with white text that simply read: 'Please don't worry about us. We're totally fine and have done nothing wrong. We'll explain when we can.'
But the statement only fuelled further speculation, with followers questioning whether the pair were facing legal troubles, caught in a prank gone wrong, or had been unexpectedly visited by someone off-screen.

She completed the look with a light blue cap and grey hoodie layered underneath her bridge-climbing gear, her signature glam swapped for a fresh-faced glow.

The US pop superstar, 40, was all smiles as she took part in the climb during the city's Vivid Sydney festival, coinciding with both her Lifetimes Tour stop and the beginning of Pride Month The pop icon looked thrilled by the experience, laughing with her team and soaking up the view from the top of the world-famous structure. The Firework singer has long been an advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights, often weaving inclusive messages into her performances. The singer is currently in Australia as part of her Lifetimes Tour, which has seen her perform her greatest hits across the globe. The popstar is performing three shows in Sydney, bringing all of her iconic hits as well as some of her new tracks from her latest album 143 to Qudos Bank Arena on June 4, 9 and 10. Tickets to the pop icon's tour, which has received an onslaught of criticism over the last few months, have been in high demand, with the Roar hitmaker announcing two extra shows on the Australian run to accommodate all of her fans. Taking to Instagram in February, Katy revealed she added an extra show at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on June 4 to kick off the Australian leg, as well as an extra Melbourne show at Rod Laver Arena on June 7. The Grammy-nominated superstar revealed she had been humbled with the success of her Australian tour, with all previous dates now sold out. Captioning the announcement, Katy said: 'I am so blown away by the incredible demand for THE LIFETIMES TOUR that I will be adding a final show in Sydney and a final show in Melbourne to make sure all my Australian fans have a chance to experience the incredible show I am bringing.' Katy will now play a hefty 15 Australian shows. She announced the Australian Lifetimes tour just prior to her turn at the AFL Grand Final in September. The original run included just one show each for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, however fan demand dictated Katy needed to add two extra Sydney and Brisbane shows. Crestfallen Adelaide fans expressed their frustration over missing out on their chance to see Katy in the flesh but they were not left out in the cold for too long. Listening to fan protests, Katy eventually added a run of four shows in the City of Churches. 'I heard you loud and clear Adelaide, I got you!' Katy wrote on Instagram. Extra shows were also added to Melbourne and Perth as demand for the Teenage Dream hitmaker continued to rise.

Shoppers race to Aldi to get their hands on winter must-have item: 'Run, don't walk!'
Customers are rushing to Aldi Australia to grab a range of winter essentials before stock sells out. The German supermarket giant quietly relaunched knitwear tops and jumpers which have been popular among shoppers in recent years. Alex Hourigan, who cohosts the Two Broke Chicks podcast, spotted the latest buys at her local Aldi and boasted about the products online. The knitwear is made from a blend of merino wool and cashmere which retails for no more than $49.99, which is incredibly affordable compared to alternative brands. 'Literally run to Aldi because they've just dropped some wool and cashmere winter basics that are an absolute steal,' Alex said in a TikTok video. The selection includes Wool Cashmere Blend Tops ($39.99), Wool Cashmere Blend Knitwear ($49.99) and Merino Wool Knit Tops ($29.99). All products are available in a range of different shades, including black, cream and grey. Customers were overjoyed with the news of the recent release and shared their excitement in the comments. The German supermarket giant quietly relaunched its knitwear range which has been popular among shoppers in recent years 'They do them every year. Great staples for winter,' one wrote. 'Love!' another added. 'OMG obsessed,' a third wrote. Shoppers are encouraged to act swiftly as products are only available while stocks last in stores. Last month the discount supermarket released a delicious Biscoff mousse as part of a new Autumn range. The tasty dessert is made with a Biscoff crumb base, middle layer of Biscoff mousse and topped with a thick layer of Biscoff spread. Melbourne foodie Nectro Vlangos, better known as Nectorious Papi online, described the latest offering as a 'Biscoff overload from bottom to top'. 'It's heaven in a cup,' he said. Sydney vlogger Samantha Khater also raved about the buy on TikTok and dubbed it 10/10 as it's 'full of flavour'. On Facebook hundreds praised the buy and recommended it as a 'must', but some claimed it was 'too sweet'. 'So good but very sickly by the end,' one wrote. 'Just like with our Special Buys range, we always look to surprise and delight our customers when we add deliciousness to our Limited Time Only range,' ALDI Shopping Expert, Kylie Warnke, said. 'This selection is all about treating your friends, family and yourself with quality meals, tasty treats and desserts without breaking the budget.' In addition to the Food Envy Mousse with Biscoff Spread, Aldi has also released more than 250 other items this month including Sweet Haven Apple Pie Spring Rolls ($4.99), Toblerone Lava Cakes ($4.99) Ready, Set.. Cook! Beef Stir Fry Meal Kit ($13.99). In March Aldi brought back its popular cast-iron cookware range that's been compared to high-end French brand Le Creuset. Aldi's famous Crofton cookware collection will return to the 'Special Buys' middle aisle from March 12, while stock lasts. The range features a 24cm frypan ($9.99), 40cm frypan ($12.99) mini pots and pans ($4.99), containers ($9.99) and kitchen utensils ($1.99). The budget retailer caused a frenzy among shoppers when the range sold out previously - and it's likely to happen again. The affordable products have been likened to the look and quality of Le Creuset, which costs hundreds of dollars. The $4.99 mini pan looks similar to the $410 Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Saucepan while the $9.99 frypan resembles the $320 Le Creuset Signature Cast Iron Frying Pan. The cookware range will be available in red, green and blue, and the containers and utensils are dishwasher safe.
