From this episode’s transcript.

  • –Attempting a 'no swearing' episode failed almost instantly, highlighting the hosts' casual, unscripted style.
  • –Josh and Tommy disagree on show format: Josh wants prepared topics/structure, Tommy prefers spontaneity with only a little structure.
  • –Practical travel advice emerged: use a backpack over a roller case for cobblestoned European destinations, and book flights roughly 27 days ahead using flexible-date tools like Skyscanner.
  • –Josh has a pattern of calling emergency services (000) for incidents like reckless driving and fires, which Tommy repeatedly questions as excessive.
  • –The hosts are tracking audience growth and milestones, planning stunt episodes (Krispy Kreme store recording at ep 40, giving blood at ep 60) tied to episode numbers.

Questions this episode answers

What is the best way to find cheap flights according to the hosts?

Josh recommends using Skyscanner's flexible month/date calendar view and OzBargain, and notes that booking around 27 days before departure tends to be the optimal time for the best fares.

Should you pack a backpack or a roller suitcase for European travel?

Tommy argues strongly for a backpack (front and back) because destinations like the Amalfi Coast have cobblestone streets and no car access, making roller cases impractical, while Josh considers a roller case for gear during longer stays.

Why does Josh call emergency services so often?

Josh says he's called police or fire services about half a dozen times for things like reckless drivers and a fire he spotted, believing it helps 'build a scene' for responders, though Tommy jokingly accuses him of wasting police time given he often lacks details like license plates or exact locations.

Josh: It is the Daily Talk Show. Tommy, I've done my voice again.

0:05

Tommy: You can't help it. Episode 33.

0:07

Josh: Yep. It is the— I'm calling it right now. This is the best podcast episode yet.

0:13

Tommy: Was this the one that we're not going to swear in or?

0:16

Josh: Yeah, we're trying a few things. We're not going to swear because you were saying that— I don't know why, because of your mum?

0:23

Tommy: No, but we're just thinking Should we try to and do an episode where we actually do not swear?

0:29

Josh: Yeah, I think that that's—

0:30

Tommy: I really want to swear right now.

0:31

Josh: It's fine.

0:32

Tommy: You put parameters on something. That's why it's like I've gone all out knowing that we can swear on this.

0:37

Josh: Yeah.

0:37

Tommy: Whereas on radio, I never— I think the furthest I went was saying shit, but I don't think— and that's subjective, whether it's a swear word or not. Like, if you do it between 6 AM and 7 AM before kids get in the car That's okay. It's probably okay. And it depends on the context.

0:55

Josh: I was swearing a lot. When I get on set, I feel like my swearing goes, I play this sort of crazy creative persona. And it's just like, effin' the, oh yeah, just like some clients really dig it. But I think that sometimes I don't have a good sense. So maybe they never wanna hire me again.

1:16

Tommy: This is our first show with an audience and the audience consists of one person.

1:20

Josh: Yeah, we've got Lucy, work experience Lucy in the building.

1:23

Tommy: Lucy, yell out.

1:25

Josh: That's about what you expect from a 16-year-old when it comes to enthusiasm.

1:29

Tommy: No, Lucy—

1:30

Josh: 16, 17, 18, 16.

1:32

Tommy: Okay, but Lucy is beyond her years, I think.

1:36

Josh: Yeah, just quick, you had a good chat with her just before.

1:38

Tommy: Yeah, uh, and she kept up with your level of banter, which is outrageous.

1:44

Josh: Pretty good. Yeah, um, so yeah, very similar to, to you.

1:49

Tommy: Uh, we're gonna get Lucy— I want to get you on the podcast, probably not today to actually talk about yourself? Well, we'll ask you because I think Lucy has 16.7 thousand— 16 point— hang on, she needs 16.5 thousand followers on Instagram, which is fucking ex— oh, I've done it!

2:10

Josh: You've already— that's fine.

2:12

Tommy: It's exceptional, as in it's a lot of people.

2:15

Josh: Yeah, because, uh, when you said that you were going to, um, Catch up with Lucy, you're talking about, you know, like it was gonna be this sort of mentorship thing and then you looked at her Instagram like, yeah, maybe you should learn something.

2:25

Tommy: When I say work experience, I'm actually work experiencing for her.

2:29

Josh: So, do you reckon you can tag me in a post? I'm happy for you to work for me, but can you tag me in that post?

2:34

Tommy: Can you please tag me in a post?

2:36

Josh: Tag me.

2:36

Tommy: What is your Instagram? Scorpius, but there's a dot before the S. Scorpius? Like a scorpion, Scorpius dot.

2:44

Josh: Like Scorpius. No, Scorpius. No, Scorpius. Scorpius dot. No, dot before the last S, sorry.

2:52

Tommy: Okay, just write Scorpius into Instagram and you'll see she does cool editing. Anyway, um, you're looking anxious.

2:58

Josh: I know, I'm not anxious, I'm excited.

3:00

Tommy: Josh has got his phone out with all these topics because he came to me today and said, Tommy, I've written, I've got a bunch of topics to talk about. Is that from the anxiety of me saying you don't bring anything?

3:10

Josh: Yeah, you're having a go at me. And after speaking Like, you know, it's a bit of a reset. I'm thinking, okay, how can we up? Hamish and Andy have their podcast coming out. I think it's like today, maybe. Yeah. It's like, okay, well, the big boys are back.

3:27

Tommy: The 16-year-old's laughing at us, comparing ourselves to Hamish and Andy. You guys are dickheads.

3:33

Josh: But I'm trying to take some of the things that have worked for them. Yeah. And Hamish was talking about the importance of that structure.

3:42

Tommy: Okay.

3:42

Josh: And you'd been going on and on on about, yeah, mate, I just feel like I'm lifting your show up. I just, I feel like you just, you derail me. Not only do you derail me, but you don't bring anything to the table. And I'm like, okay. And then I'm like, that's you. And then I say, okay, well, we won't post this podcast.

4:00

Tommy: No, no, no, that's a child's response. We're not gonna post this. Fine, we won't post this.

4:06

Josh: It's literally—

4:07

Tommy: I love the voices we do for each other and our mothers. They are totally not who they are.

4:11

Josh: My mum's voice that I do for her is a lot grungier. It's just a— Gosh, nah, she doesn't.

4:20

Tommy: It sounds like she smoked a pack of Weenies.

4:22

Josh: She's not a smoker.

4:23

Tommy: Okay.

4:23

Josh: So I've written down, 'cause I had a bit of a luxury of when I was having lunch time just to sit down and say, you know what, this is just the daily talk show time.

4:33

Tommy: Yeah, good.

4:34

Josh: I like that. It was the first time I'm really proud of myself because I set the expectation up with my clients well enough where I was like, I actually said, hey, I'm going to be available from 3 and I'm gonna do this work and it's gonna be done at 6. Which for whatever reason, I just get funny about setting like really specific times. I say like, yeah, it's gonna be done, it's gonna be done by 6. And so they'll contact me beforehand as if I'm in it. Whereas like, I think it's partly, I know that I'm quick and I'm not necessarily always wanting to communicate.

5:07

Tommy: Well, if you set the rules of, as far as you lay out the time, they will come to the party on that.

5:14

Josh: Yeah, so it was great because it created the space where I realized, oh, it's okay for me to like put a time—

5:20

Tommy: So you've just done a 5-minute intro, um, these topics better be, better be good.

5:26

Josh: Mate, I've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11—

5:30

Tommy: This is an hour 6-minute intro. You're building suspense.

5:33

Josh: Open topics.

5:33

Tommy: This is not what you do, 'cause it could end up really shit.

5:36

Josh: Pick a number and we'll just, that's how we're gonna make it.

5:38

Tommy: 3.

5:38

Josh: 3. We're gonna be talking about, this is a great one, Tommy. So Tommy, I'm—

5:48

Tommy: You've taken it too literal.

5:49

Josh: Yeah, I've gone too radio.

5:51

Tommy: Radio.

5:53

Josh: So Tommy, I'm going traveling. No, you know that I'm going traveling.

5:57

Tommy: Yes.

5:58

Josh: 3 months. Yeah. Trying to work out backpacks versus roller case type stuff.

6:04

Tommy: Not a fucking roller case. Oh, just quick story. This sweetheart, when I say sweetheart, that's not the word I was looking for. Princess, 'cause princess can be a bit patronising and I want to be patronizing.

6:16

Josh: Well, sweetheart would imply that they were going to be a really lovely person.

6:20

Tommy: Nah, this was a princess. We were on the bus, going from the airport in Mykonos in Greece. And this princess had her big bag and she was at the front of the bus. And my wife was 3 months pregnant. No, 2 and a half months pregnant and so sick. She's almost vomiting.

6:40

Josh: She's just holding. She probably shouldn't have gone away. Like we've spoken about this, I think in a previous podcast.

6:43

Tommy: Oh, I wanted to get travel insurance to cover the flights 'cause we wanted to cancel the trip or postpone it.

6:48

Josh: But you can't, you can't.

6:50

Tommy: It was an idiot mistake of mine that it happened.

6:52

Josh: Anyway, should have pulled out.

6:53

Tommy: Anyway, we've got a 16-year-old in the audience, mate.

6:57

Josh: Mate, do you remember what I was doing when I was 14? Squeegee stories. Kids know things. Go on.

7:02

Tommy: Anyway, this princess was at the front of the bus and she obviously had like some motion sickness because when you're in Greece, there's like, oh dude, it's like windy and it does, it makes you feel a little bit sick coming from, where were we? Mikano, the port of Santorini, that's where we were. And it's like down this cliff and there's literally just like winding snaky roads. It's horrible. And this girl was yelling at this bus driver.

7:32

Josh: What nationality was she?

7:33

Tommy: I think she was Australian.

7:35

Josh: It's always Australian.

7:36

Tommy: She was a Greek Australian girl and she was like, can't wait to hear her voice. Threatening the bus driver.

7:41

Josh: What did she say? Just do her voice. Oh, No, not a fat pizza accent, please.

7:47

Tommy: That's all I got.

7:49

Josh: All right, you go.

7:49

Tommy: Oh, if you don't stop, I'm gonna spew all over your bus.

7:54

Josh: Okay.

7:54

Tommy: And everyone in the bus, at the back of the bus, more Aussies laughed.

7:59

Josh: Yeah.

7:59

Tommy: But she was such a rude girl. But my point is she had this big bag. And so you look like a princess if you're travelling with this big, and because when you do go traveling, there's all these people rocking Gucci, Gucci, Prada, like luggage bags, and they're all the princesses. So for what you're doing, you need to go a backpack.

8:19

Josh: What about, does it change it if we're gonna be spending a lot of time in each location? So where I think that maybe a roller, like a roller case might work is if we're gonna spend like 2 weeks at a time somewhere and you're just rolling it to the location. You have—

8:37

Tommy: you been to—

8:37

Josh: what about my gear? What about all my equipment? What happens with that? Because I'm thinking like, I need my gear backpack.

8:44

Tommy: Yeah.

8:44

Josh: And then I have a roller case with all of my—

8:46

Tommy: this is traveling.

8:47

Josh: Yeah, it's—

8:48

Tommy: you have a front backpack and a back backpack. It's— if you go to the Amalfi Coast, which we are— are you going to, um, Amalfi? The other one?

9:00

Josh: Not probably.

9:01

Tommy: So anyway, Amalfi is one of them.

9:03

Josh: Can you not knock things, please? Sorry, it's terrible for audio.

9:05

Tommy: If you go to Amalfi, yeah, it's just like surrounded by— you'd like, you can't walk anywhere. So you can't drive in most of these places. So when you get to your hotel, it's like you're walking through these cobblestones. It's horrible. And you can't be pulling your thing on it.

9:22

Josh: Your finish.

9:23

Tommy: You can't be—

9:24

Josh: your bag. You're doing this hand gesture. I have no idea what you're doing.

9:26

Tommy: I forget. I'm bored of this topic. It was a boring topic. So the first one was a success. Just quickly, I'm just bringing it back to something.

9:33

Josh: The princess.

9:35

Tommy: No, not the Princess. Let me just say something. Flights, cheap flights, I hear ads all the time, only $450 return to Fiji. Where the fuck are they? How do you find those? I can't find them. I've looked.

9:51

Josh: It's—

9:51

Tommy: How do you find cheap flights like that?

9:54

Josh: So I use Skyscanner and OzBargain, ozbargain.com.au. And I'm always looking for whatever shit that I can buy off there. I've gone a little bit more of a minimalist, so I'm trying to buy less shit, but experiences don't count.

10:11

Tommy: Experiences are fine. Tommy D, my mate, his family, they don't do presents anymore. They do presents, but they don't do physical presents.

10:19

Josh: Such a good idea.

10:19

Tommy: It's all experiences. So he went like mountain horseback riding up through the snowy mountains and you stay in these cabins, these big wood cabins, and you get to each destination.

10:34

Josh: I think that's such a good idea. Like, it's so, so much more value doing an experience. But on the, um, on the cheap flights thing, well, just let's, um, what's that segment that we did once? Hashtag Close the Loop. Close the Loop. Let's do Close the Loop right now on Just Something Happened. I agree, gonna get a backpack. Yes. But I'm just gonna have to get a small enough amount of clothes so that I can have some equipment and also have— so I'm guessing maybe like 3 t-shirts, 2 pairs of shorts, a pair of pants, and like a nice shirt.

11:13

Tommy: I'd take more t-shirts. T-shirts, sweaty. It's just like Europe is just hot and gross.

11:19

Josh: But I was looking at— I was, um, I just stood up, just changing the vibe.

11:23

Tommy: Yeah, what do you think, Lucy? What do you think?

11:26

Josh: Lucy's laughing.

11:27

Tommy: Yeah, no one else is saying so.

11:28

Josh: No, it's nice, it's good for my back. Um, the— I was watching travel videos on Italy and they've all got such good style, and I'm determined not to be a fucking dag, daggy tourist.

11:43

Tommy: It's, it's very hard to not because it's uncomfortable Oh, I was thinking like I never wear belts.

11:49

Josh: I'm gonna have to buy some like nice belts with like nice buckles.

11:53

Tommy: And like you're exposing your buckle.

11:55

Josh: Well, with the tops, like the tight shirt that I'm gonna be wearing.

11:59

Tommy: You're gonna be wearing white pants and a white shirt in Italy? Are you gonna try and be an Italian bloke?

12:05

Josh: That's what I was thinking, but does that not translate? No!

12:08

Tommy: That's gonna be so daggy. You'd look like a German tourist.

12:15

Josh: It should be "potaya." I look like a potato. "Potaya." Looks like a potato. No, the, um, no, because I was watching a video and they were talking about like baseball caps are a big, like, or just like snapbacks, real obvious like tourist type of thing. So, you're always thinking about how I could really blend in. But maybe the aim of the game isn't to blend in. Nah.

12:38

Tommy: When have you ever tried to blend in? The kid that would walk around the schoolyard with the teachers Yeah, it's true. You've never tried to blend in, mate. Don't, don't. Be you. Be you, big weird Josh.

12:49

Josh: Okay.

12:49

Tommy: Oh, big weirdy.

12:51

Josh: But I'm just worried. I just don't want to upset Bree where like we go to a restaurant and they don't let us in.

12:56

Tommy: Just thongs. We tried to go—

12:58

Josh: I never wear thongs.

12:59

Tommy: We tried to go to the Ritz-Carlton in Paris and we're going there to have a glass of wine. My friend was shouting for our wedding present because a glass of wine is like €30 each. And we walked in and they're like, sorry, you cannot come in, you have thongs on. And so we just had to walk out and we got macaroons instead.

13:18

Josh: There is something really, um, sad about being knocked back from how you look.

13:24

Tommy: Well, it's just dress code.

13:25

Josh: But talking— going back to your, um, closing another loop, this is part of the new style. Tell us what you think. I don't know if it's also the pressure because I think it was Sean I haven't, I've really got to pick up our social media game. But we've got an Instagram storey being like, oh, one of my favourite podcasts.

13:44

Tommy: Yeah, I've already written back to him, mate.

13:46

Josh: Oh, really? Thank you for doing that.

13:47

Tommy: Well, you told me about that, Sean. I stalked your page, 'cause I do follow you. And I said, thanks, mate.

13:54

Josh: See, that's what we need because I, maybe we can get Lucy.

13:57

Tommy: Well, she's the one with 16,000 more followers than you and I.

14:01

Josh: Lucy, would you give us a tag? I actually have been saying that I wanna do that. Oh, thank you. Well, I said, I said, well, the kids are trolls.

14:08

Tommy: They're gonna, no, you need, you get one chance a lot of the time.

14:11

Josh: Yeah, sure.

14:11

Tommy: So if someone says who does have more followers than you, hey, I'll do a post. You just can't have it of my doofus head.

14:19

Josh: Well, it's like your mate Brad who owns Radio Today and he's like, mate, we'll do a blog post and we're just waiting until the day that we're no longer shit.

14:29

Tommy: Yeah, you have one shot. Like why? And I also think like he's being kind saying, I'll promote you guys and your podcast on Radio Today. But I think, no, we need to at least, at least have something worth sharing.

14:41

Josh: And that's why he would say that, right? Like, people aren't gonna say that to general punters 'cause they're just gonna use the opportunity. But he knows you well enough that you've got a filter, that you're only gonna go to them when you're ready.

14:53

Tommy: And so the problem with it is I'm with a guy who's got no filter. So it could be a while before I can tell him stop.

15:00

Josh: This could be the best episode given this is the best one yet. Why not lead with our best?

15:05

Tommy: You've put some things in place. You brought topics and you've also made a big promise that it's the best episode yet.

15:13

Josh: And I know that like we maybe need some vulnerability back in. So I might ask you some hard questions at the end to make you cry. That's fine. But fuck, I've got some really bad. So I wanted to continue on about the flight thing, but I just looked down at one of my topics, which is what's your favourite body part?

15:29

Tommy: Oh my God.

15:31

Josh: Can I just quickly say my collarbone? I love my collarbone. What do you like? On you?

15:36

Tommy: Um, fuck, I actually don't think about that. Oh, my legs.

15:42

Josh: Oh no, think of the legs.

15:43

Tommy: No, I've got, yeah, good quads.

15:46

Josh: Okay, that's good. Quads, like having big leg muscles, are good for metabolism, I guess. Um, going back to cheap flights, you can get them, obviously. Like, the thing is, it's are you willing to fly Jetstar? Yes, there's going to be lots, especially to Japan. Every time Kim Jong-un does something a bit crazy, all that sort of region gets a bit cheap.

16:09

Tommy: So we fucked up. Amy and I booked flights to Bali using Jetstar. We booked— Amy was like, yes, we need to book them now, we have to book them now, we have to book them now. So we booked them, we've gone for $500 each return to Bali. I've paid $480 before, and so I thought $500 is probably not that bad.

16:28

Josh: We're taking $20 insurance each, like in the sense of like to make sure that you get them and they're gonna be—

16:33

Tommy: She looked 2 days ago.

16:36

Josh: Yes, 390.

16:38

Tommy: Yeah.

16:39

Josh: Did I get it?

16:39

Tommy: Well, something around the 3, high 3s. She said 680 or 690 for the 2 of them, something like that. Can you do anything?

16:51

Josh: Like, no. Like if you've, so if you're getting them on like saver type fares, you're very restricted in what you can do. If you pay like flexible, This is the trick. There is, if you Google best time to book flights, there are specific trends that happen. So, basically, I think it's 27 days or something outside a flight is the optimum time for booking.

17:18

Tommy: Fuck, it's leaving it tight. Yeah. Because what if it's $1,200 each?

17:21

Josh: But so, this is the thing, right? So, what airlines realise is if you need to book a flight, you're going to tend to book it early. So, they have sort of a standard. So, look at Los Angeles for an example, right? You could buy a flight to LA Most other than sort of December, Jan, like, you know, some of those peak times, you could, you could get a flight to LA from Melbourne for around $1,200, right? It'll probably sit around that $1,200 return mark. Then there's this sliding scale of if you book, um, you know, if you can be flexible on the dates and you look at the calendar, you can do the month calendar type of deal. This is the best way to do it, especially on like Skyscanner and things like that., and you can say, okay, I don't care what, like, I've— it's got to be within these 7 days and these 7 days, and you can click them. And like, I was looking at, you know, um, random trips. I just constantly will do this, go on Skyscanner, be like, oh, where could I go? And I was getting LA flights with Air New Zealand for about $850.

18:22

Tommy: That's pretty good return.

18:24

Josh: Return.

18:25

Tommy: So crazy.

18:26

Josh: Yeah, so you and I, $1,600 for the two of us to go to LA a week. Do the daily talk show out of there.

18:33

Tommy: I'd like to do it from Hollywood.

18:35

Josh: From Hollywood?

18:35

Tommy: That'd be fun.

18:36

Josh: I thought you said Honolulu.

18:37

Tommy: Do it from a Starbucks. That would— corner.

18:40

Josh: Let's get through the Krispy Kreme show first in Narre Warren.

18:43

Tommy: Yeah, episode 40. I'm very excited about that. Um, 7 shows away, live from Krispy Kreme.

18:49

Josh: It's gonna be amazing. But, uh, I think this is the problem, right, with you bringing topics on a, on a phone, is I'm looking at them.

18:55

Tommy: It draws your attention away, like you're ready for the next topic.

18:59

Josh: Well, this is what you wanted. I thought this is what you wanted.

19:02

Tommy: No, I wanted spontaneity along with a tiny bit of structure.

19:07

Josh: Okay, that could be our tagline, but the— I'm not going to look at it anymore. But can I—

19:12

Tommy: I want to look at your topics and then I'll see if I can bring a storey based around your topic.

19:17

Josh: Yeah, perfect. All right, so are you going to read them out?

19:20

Tommy: Um, no, no.

19:22

Josh: Um, here we go. So Tommy's looking at my phone. Which makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't like other people using my phone. I have nothing to hide, but it's just feels weird. And just like if I miss a notification.

19:34

Tommy: I'm very confused by this one. Calling emergency services is the note that's in there.

19:40

Josh: Yeah. It's happened so many times. I've called the cops, the fireys at least half a dozen times in my life.

19:50

Tommy: So, you're the guy first on scene that is picking up the phone.

19:54

Josh: Always.

19:54

Tommy: He's not the guy diving in trying to help somebody.

19:56

Josh: No, no, no, no, no.

19:57

Tommy: He's the guy.

19:57

Josh: Either on a camera recording or on the phone. I even do it so many times. If I was to hit the deck right now, triple zero, I'd be on it.

20:07

Tommy: You'd be on it straight away.

20:08

Josh: They'd be like, "Hey Josh, how can we help?" They'd know me. Okay. No, they, no, very quick. And Bree, and normally it happens when we're driving. We've had a few cases where I'm driving and you'll see someone be driving like an absolute maniac.

20:24

Tommy: You call the cops for that? Yeah. What do they say to you? I've always thought about that. I'd love to report that idiot.

20:30

Josh: And I fucking do every time. Like, Bray, pick up the phone. She's like, what are you doing? Like, we're calling the police.

20:34

Tommy: So you call 000?

20:36

Josh: Yep.

20:37

Tommy: You're a fucking waste of time. You're a time waster of the police.

20:40

Josh: No, I'm not. He was in a budget rental, uh, ute.

20:46

Tommy: So what, doing donuts?

20:47

Josh: Uh, he was driving super, probably 180 on the freeway. Going towards the city a week after the fucking Melbourne shit happening. And he was just like, like, vir— like, it wasn't just like he wasn't, um, he was just a maniac driver, but he just, he didn't give a fuck about like lines and stuff like that. So I was like, might as well like stop this guy at Chandler Highway rather than him going through Myer and taking out every fucking person doing their shopping.

21:18

Tommy: See, that's not funny. But the— you call him, what do they say to you? What are they? What's the action?

21:23

Josh: They always fucking ask what sort of car model. I don't know shit about cars. So my pre, what car model is it?

21:28

Tommy: Your reaction is just call before you've even thought about, do I have his licence plate?

21:32

Josh: I have no detail and I've got no sense of direction. So I'm just like, I'm on the freeway. They're like, which freeway? I'm like the one towards my house type of deal. Like I'm very unhelpful in that regard.

21:43

Tommy: You are calling a service that's like for emergencies that people really do need. But am I wasting their time?

21:50

Josh: No, I'm not wasting their time because they're building a scene.

21:52

Tommy: Okay, then has it ever worked?

21:54

Josh: Yeah.

21:55

Tommy: Have you ever apprehended someone?

21:57

Josh: Haven't apprehended them. Saw some kids lighting a fire.

22:00

Tommy: Yeah.

22:01

Josh: Called the cops— uh, called the fireys. By the time the fireys arrived, there would have been over an acre alight in the suburbs.

22:12

Tommy: So for people that might not have ever called 000. What happens?

22:17

Josh: Police, fire, or ambulance.

22:19

Tommy: And then you get to choose.

22:20

Josh: And then I'll be like, uh, fire, transferring you through now. And then, and then they say, and then they'll say, um, you know, I can't remember the exact line, but something like, um, what's your location? Complaint? I don't know. So it's like, um, sometimes they'll like, there's like a quick conversation with those two people, um, And yeah, and then they transfer and they're like, yeah, what's your location? And then I'm just saying, yeah, on the corner of this, blah blah blah. It always— it never happens on like the corner of Flinders Street and fucking Swanston. It's always like, there has to be—

22:55

Tommy: drop a pin—

22:55

Josh: I'm on a reserve somewhere and I'm nude.

22:59

Tommy: I don't know how I got here. That's beside the point. There's a fire.

23:03

Josh: Did I ever call the car— I never, I never called the fireys for when my neighbour's apartment Caught on fire?

23:09

Tommy: No, because you were on the news.

23:11

Josh: That happened after.

23:12

Tommy: Can I just bring this out? I don't think I've ever spoken to you about this because I haven't forgotten. Josh, the, the, his next-door neighbour was probably smoking bongs and the bong fell over and burnt down the house.

23:22

Josh: Yeah.

23:23

Tommy: And you're in an apartment block, so there was smoke billowing into yours.

23:26

Josh: Uh, so, so I heard this, um, uh, I heard this lad bang, right? And I thought the neighbour next door, neighbours were getting broken into.

23:37

Tommy: Yeah.

23:37

Josh: And so I looked— Called the cops? No, so I looked through my peephole of my apartment out looking out into sort of the foyer area, and I just saw this guy sort of knocking on the other neighbors. Yeah, I heard a fire, fire. I was like, oh shit. So I like straight away like press record on my phone.

23:58

Tommy: I just didn't know what to do, so I was like Even like 16-year-olds put their head in their hands.

24:02

Josh: Yeah.

24:03

Tommy: So I was like, this idiot.

24:04

Josh: So I was like, okay, what do I grab? Like, so I just like ran into my like home office, just like looked around and got my keys and then ran out. But I left the, I left my door unlocked because I don't know what, like luckily I did that because I had security cameras in my home office and the, fireys actually went into my apartment to make sure it was all okay. The fuck, they— the apartment next door, completely destroyed. 6 months of renovation.

24:37

Tommy: It was like rich, yeah, dense.

24:40

Josh: Our apartment flooded from all their sprinklers going off and filling up.

24:45

Tommy: Oh, so it didn't set off your—

24:46

Josh: No.

24:47

Tommy: Anyway, the, the point of me bringing that storey up is because come 6 PM Here's Josh. He has been— he's out on his balcony looking concerned, just looking around.

24:59

Josh: Channel 9 News.

25:00

Tommy: They did some B-roll. He did like a, um, an interview with them. But you're a video guy and you know if someone says to you, can I just get you to go out into your balcony, we're going to film you from out in the street to just recreate sort of that feeling of what went down, you're going to know that they're going to make you look like an absolute tool. Well, and you look like an absolute tool.

25:19

Josh: This was like a first week in of my business So I literally like, I was, they called me down, so waved me down and they said, would, can you go on air? I'm like, yeah, sure. So they're recording this bit and I just, I thought it was a PR opportunity. So I was like, yeah, I was just next door. I've just started my business, Full Stack Films.

25:38

Tommy: No, you actually said that?

25:40

Josh: Yeah, I did.

25:40

Tommy: Did they air it?

25:41

Josh: They cut it all. I was like.

25:44

Tommy: And so which bit did they put on?

25:45

Josh: Oh, they just put the bit like, oh yeah, and the flames were huge.

25:49

Tommy: And these stupid shots of you out on a balcony looking.

25:52

Josh: They used all my footage because I've got footage of me running down the stairs and then the next door neighbours being like up, you know, with flames. The thing that I was scared of is Bree has like on her, like it was backing up against our bedroom wall, right? That's where the fire was.

26:13

Tommy: Is that where you stash your cash? Is that the—

26:15

Josh: No, no, no, that's not where I stash it. I sort of have the cash sort of Everywhere in the house when you've got that much, you need to spread it. No, so, um, but Bree has like a wall full of fucking perfume. I was just waiting to hear the—

26:28

Tommy: Nah, I don't think they're flammable.

26:30

Josh: Are you fucking kidding me?

26:31

Tommy: I don't think that would— I reckon they'd just fizz or something. Like, you could throw a perfume into a fire and unless it's—

26:38

Josh: There's episode 50.

26:40

Tommy: Let's do it.

26:41

Josh: No, so I think that the, uh, The good thing is that apartments have—

26:46

Tommy: Worries about the perfume, doesn't worry about his whole apartment getting burnt down.

26:50

Josh: No, I was worried about the perfume being the fucking end, that when it got onto that, it was gonna just like, I was imagining like a Terminator film, like just going through the whole house. I've never seen any Terminator film.

27:00

Tommy: It wouldn't be that. You know, the thing you worry about is spray aerosol cans.

27:05

Josh: The fucking hard drives, that's what I worry about.

27:07

Tommy: Oh yeah. 'Cause the new business. How long have we got? 'Cause I'll quickly share a story.

27:11

Josh: We're at 27 minutes, you got 3 minutes.

27:13

Tommy: So I mean, this might be— now thinking about it, it's like maybe I should just be the guy who calls the ambulance or the firemen, the police. I'm sitting down having coffee in Shepparton when I was living up there. It was like a Saturday morning and I'm reading the paper and all of a sudden, bang, this girl had just fallen backwards and just smashed onto the concrete. And she was a heavy set set lady. And I only mentioned her weight because I dived down and checked if she was all right, tried to— hello, hello.

27:51

Josh: I still don't know why the bit of her being fat's relevant.

27:53

Tommy: Go on. Because I had to roll her over.

27:55

Josh: Okay, sure.

27:55

Tommy: And it was hard.

27:57

Josh: Yeah, sure.

27:57

Tommy: And so I rolled her over because I thought, okay, this is what I've seen happen. Put them into a, um, uh, like a— what do you call it— a position. It's like a— when you have a seizure, seizure position.

28:08

Josh: Yeah.

28:08

Tommy: Because she was on her back.

28:10

Josh: And so, yeah, you don't want her to—

28:11

Tommy: yeah, my brother saved someone's life by putting them on to his side, onto his side, this guy who had a seizure. So I did this and I, and I rolled her over. And I, I know that you pull a, pull a knee sort of across the body and it, and it helps sort of bring the body as well. It helps sort of roll over. Yeah, the person. Anyway, there was a paramedic that just happened to be inside the cafe and came out.

28:35

Josh: It's fucking Shepparton. I mean, there's like 15 people and there's 50,000 in the greater Shepparton.

28:42

Tommy: Fuck off. Greater Shepparton. So like all surrounding But yeah, there's a lot, a lot less people interpreting than Melbourne. And so there just happened to be a paramedic that came out, rolled her straight back onto her back, and said it was dangerous to have rolled her over. Fuck off. So I didn't do the right thing.

28:59

Josh: So this is what scares me. I would like to, um, do my first aid shit. Two things that I want to do, we should actually do it. Let's do episode 60. We're locking things in for every 10 episodes.

29:11

Tommy: Not without pre- Pre-thought, pre-discussion.

29:13

Josh: That's what we've done so far. Um, no, episode 60, let's do it, uh, giving blood. I've never given blood before. Have you?

29:21

Tommy: Yes.

29:21

Josh: Okay, clearly I'm just the piece of shit.

29:24

Tommy: You won't be able to give blood if you have had a tattoo in the last few months.

29:29

Josh: Haven't.

29:30

Tommy: But I want you to get that The Daily Talk Show tattoo.

29:32

Josh: Yeah.

29:33

Tommy: Or if you've been to a brothel or use syringes. Okay, so if you've done heroin, yeah, heroin, you probably can't give blood if you've used it. Anyway, so it's for like if you have disease.

29:46

Josh: I think I should be fine.

29:47

Tommy: Oh yeah, it would be, it would be cool. I've made a video at one of them.

29:50

Josh: Do you think we're close enough for us to share the same?

29:55

Tommy: Do you know what blood type you are?

29:57

Josh: I should know, shouldn't I? No. Do you?

30:00

Tommy: I think I'm B, B negative or something like that.

30:03

Josh: No, it's not strong enough.

30:05

Tommy: I'm B, B. I've got a card somewhere, it's, it's in the B B-League.

30:10

Josh: The B-League. Jeez, you're sick. All right, that's the Daily Talk Show for this Thursday. And remember, you can hear all past episodes at thedailytalkshow.com. A special shout out to Michelle. Yeah, she's— I need to get back to her. She's been fucking great on the banter of the emails, and I'm bad enough with my own email, let alone Michelle.

30:35

Tommy: Sorry, it just goes to Josh.

30:37

Josh: Josh. That's his favourite heckle is call me fucking Josh.

30:41

Tommy: It goes to Josh and so I don't get it. And then Josh says, oh, did you see that lovely email? Well, no, because you haven't given me the fucking access. Anyway, give us a follow and follow Scorpius.

30:52

Josh: Yeah, with the dot before the S. Not the first S, the last S.

30:56

Tommy: Far out, that's complicated.

30:57

Josh: The Daily Talk Show, everyone.
