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.
A whistling noise follows, before Ryan is heard cautiously asking: 'Hey mate, can we help you with something?'

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.
