Fake ID and a neckbeard

Tommy: Wait a minute! Crossface!

Josh: The Daily Talk Show, a conversation sometimes worth recording with Josh Janson and Tommy Jackett. Happy Monday everyone!

Tommy: What's going on?

Josh: It's the Daily Talk Show. We had Jeff Jawett on Friday, that That was good fun.

Tommy: Yeah, I've got some, um, I got a nice message from my mum. Yeah, um, and maybe I'll just read it here because I was going to send it to Geoff. Not sure if my mum would want me to send it to Geoff, but it was nice. She said, darling, just listen to episode 114 with Geoff. Great, great, great. Give him a hug for me. He has such— he's come such a long way and will do so much good in the world.

Josh: That's nice.

Tommy: I just bought one of his cookies.

Josh: No, I'm joking.

Tommy: Never said that.

Josh: They're not his cookies now anyway, if we learned anything.

Tommy: Yeah, well, he doesn't reap any reward.

Josh: Uh, a lot of people asking for stickers.

Tommy: Yeah, they will come out. Josh has promised until the 26th. What's today?

Josh: Tomorrow.

Tommy: Shit, better get your emails through hi@thedailytalkshow.com if you want a The Daily Talk Show sticker.

Josh: Uh, also thank you for people who have been sending in photos of where they're listening. We've, uh, we've got Trevor Long sent one where he's in like a— this is embarrassing, I don't even know cars. Is that a Ferrari or is that a Lamborghini? You're fucking kidding me. Is that a Lamborghini?

Tommy: You're kidding me.

Josh: What is that horse?

Tommy: You've got the horse, exactly. It's the Ferrari horse.

Josh: A Ferrari's horses? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, we're in your office. Lawrence, please come in. Uh, don't stress, we're just doing the show. Um, squeaky fucking door. Well, let's get that fixed. Yeah, we will. Until then, uh, we've got, uh, we also got, uh, Wayne will be getting stickers. Michelle, uh, Matt, uh, Matty, uh, Sean. Do you like how I said Matty then, like I was from Euro or something? Matty, Matty, Matty, thanks for that. Uh, you're gonna do the stickers, aren't you?

Tommy: I'm doing this.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, well, you, you, as many promises made on this.

Tommy: I— you've made another promise and I have to fulfil the promise.

Josh: I'm doing the Euro ones, so, uh, does that count? That's just Michelle.

Tommy: Michelle.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. Which is, uh, Bree's gonna be annoyed when I get to London and we're running around, uh, trying to find a post box, post office.

Tommy: So if you've just tuned in the show for the first time, Josh is about to embark on a 4-month trip around Europe. Yeah. Are you like— for me, the feeling of going into— like, I remember the day before I went on my trip to America for 4 weeks of fun. I know it's not 4 months, but 4 weeks. I just felt so fucking good that night. Like, I felt a bit anxious, so much going on, leaving everything the last minute.

Josh: Yeah. But then I just remember, oh, the next morning I feel a bit out of body, I think. Um, but it's just the logistics, the things we haven't— we— I haven't organized, uh, where we've got a layover. So the idea is that, uh, TJ and I are recording, uh, a couple of episodes. We'll have, uh, Amy tomorrow, or Amy Wednesday. We can have—

Tommy: we'll have Amy Tuesday.

Josh: Yeah. And then us Wednesday. And then I'll be live from London, live from London on Thursday.

Tommy: And I'll be in Melbourne, cold, cold Melbourne.

Josh: We'll see where it's colder. I guess it's hot at the moment.

Tommy: No, it's 29 degrees in London.

Josh: Yeah, it's pretty nice.

Tommy: That's exceptional.

Josh: But no, so we don't have anything booked for Singapore yet.

Tommy: Something that I would love you to try, and I know you probably won't, but it's a, we had some friends of ours from upstairs in our apartment block.

Josh: Can I guess what you're gonna say?

Tommy: No.

Josh: It involves alcohol.

Tommy: I want you to inject, no, no, no, nothing to do with alcohol. But I'd like you to drink some nice wines while you're away.

Josh: Okay, I'll do that for you.

Tommy: Have a few little sips. Your trip will be cheaper that you don't drink.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Which is good 'cause you can spend it on other shit. But when you go overseas, different, when you're in a different location, obviously when you're searching on the phone, it's pulling up localised apps or localised things. Meetup.com.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: This dude was telling me that in New York, there's fucking the weirdest shit, there's the weirdest meetups. Just randoms. You just want to get together, might not know people, but you should cheque it out. Good for content, ABC.

Josh: Yeah, I remember I reached— I was speaking to a friend who lives in— who was living in France. I told her that was a good way to find people.

Tommy: Well, the— our neighbour said— I mean, he sold it in with, yeah, it goes so far as that there's— there was an ad on the one in New York. You could just go around to this person's place and watch porn. It was a porn meetup.

Josh: Who's going to that?

Tommy: I know, that's what we were saying, like, who the fuck is rocking up to that? But the point being, such a big city, so much random shit, so many people.

Josh: This is the funny thing, it's like, uh, we're talking about some of these things which you could 100% do it in Melbourne.

Tommy: So the porn meetup?

Josh: Yeah, exactly. But I think it's, um, yeah, Yeah, no, I'm not doing the meetup.com thing. I've got a meetup.com account, been to meetups and things like that. Yeah, there's just like all sorts of things, technology, you know, content. You and I, once we, once we get back, once I get back, yeah, we should do some sort of Melbourne content meetup or something.

Tommy: Well, you don't want them to, like networking events, right? We've talked about how they, they can feel a bit gross. You go there, everyone knows what they're up for. It's like the keys in the bowl party.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: You go home with a little connection. Um, not actually go home.

Josh: How does the actual keys work? Like, so it's an orgy, that's an orgy, it's what you're describing, mate.

Tommy: To tell you the truth, I've only been to 3 and I can't— no, I'm joking. But the keys in the bowl, the classic, I don't even know, I'm just— I've seen movies. You get there, you walk in with Bree, you chuck your keys in.

Josh: I will get there, we share the i30, we just, we just put in the one set of keys.

Tommy: So then it's like, so the—

Josh: Do I throw in my EFTM lanyard?

Tommy: Yeah, you would.

Josh: This is gonna be confusing because we've all, Amy, you, Bree and I, we all have the lanyards.

Tommy: But so you get the keys and then it'd be obviously either the man says, "I'm leaving," or the woman says, "I'm leaving." The woman gets the keys on the way out and has a man companion. So it's all like, yeah.

Josh: Oh, the sex doesn't actually happen at the event.

Tommy: This, uh, no, I don't, uh, keys in the bowl. I thought the keys in the bowl where you leave with a different partner. Oh, so you put the keys in the bowl and you leave with another partner.

Josh: Who drives?

Tommy: I mean, it depends.

Josh: Keys in bowl. I'm just Googling it, but okay, that's interesting because I've never really, uh, key in bowl parties.

Tommy: What's the instructions?

Josh: Key party may refer to a sex party, a type of group sex event. A key Singing? Was that signing? So, key signing party, an event at which people present cryptographic keys to others. That's not what we want. No. Okay, anyway, it doesn't matter. But, um, yeah, no, we're not doing any orgies on our trip. You—

Tommy: are you going to Germany?

Josh: Yeah, I think we will.

Tommy: Yeah, well, you probably— I mean, you might end up in a room. That's one's going on there anyway.

Josh: Well, just because The Germans are known for being sort of sex pests.

Tommy: I don't know if they're known for being sexy.

Josh: Sex pests, I use the term loosely. They like sex. Yeah, less pests.

Tommy: Well, Amsterdam, um, that's fucking— that's Holland. Yeah, um, there's a bit going on there. I mean, it's—

Josh: well, they've got the red light district, just completely different.

Tommy: Have you been there?

Josh: No. I don't know, I wonder, um, because you know, you go overseas and then some— like, I wonder, because obviously it's not like Bree and I would rock up to Spearmint Rhino or whatever in Melbourne. But I wonder— by Spearmint Rhino, you know, that's right, you got it right.

Tommy: Fucking— how did you get that right?

Josh: I've been there before. I saw someone do a tweet, uh, yesterday saying, just saw a guy going to Spearmint Rhino with pyjamas on.

Tommy: Get stuffed.

Josh: Yeah, so that's what I was thinking of it.

Tommy: Oh yeah, I used to— the thing, was it, was it you that I was saying how sad it was one time when I—

Josh: the Christmas? So you—

Tommy: yeah, I used my fake ID, my best mate James and I, we had fake IDs. We bought them online for— what was it— $35. You had to send a cheque and it was from England, and they came back full hologram. This was like— this is when it was quite hard to do this shit. So I would have been 16 when I got it, and we used it to get into a strip club when we were underage. And it was a small one on Glenhuntly Road, and I just remember one one year going there, and it was around Christmas, and it was the saddest thing to see. These old men had brought Christmas presents and were all waiting, like, and, and I just saw this exchange. I was sitting down looking at the bar, and I just saw this old man just with this box of something. It just looked like a big present, and he was just handing it over, and this girl was putting on this— oh, thanks Travis, or whatever it is. And it was just so sad. This guy must be a frequent—

Josh: I feel like, uh, with the Jeff Jowett show on Friday and Monday, we've really gone full stripper brothel.

Tommy: So I don't even know how we got on there, but that was it.

Josh: Like, but trying to meet ups— no, I'm not. I— so I think that— but the reality is that I'm def— I'm not in the excited mode yet. I'm like, um, I'm in the I think that there's part of me that's just not thinking about it, and then I'll get really, really excited. Like, once I've got— once I've actually worked out what I haven't packed yet. So, it's Monday at like what time? It's like after 5 PM. Yeah. Here, I leave in about 14 hours' time.

Tommy: Once you get the smell of the jet fuel, you know, in the air, you know, when you're at the airport and just a smell, just— yeah.

Josh: I love airports.

Tommy: Me too. People watching, lots going on. You feel like— well, I guess you associate being in an airport— it's probably why it's the same thing of why people hate hospitals. It's because when you're there, you're probably sick.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: When you're at an airport, you're probably traveling. You are traveling.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Or you're there to see somebody. So it does— it's like, yeah, it brings back those feelings.

Josh: Have you done— have you done Europe?

Tommy: I've done London, and then I flew to Barcelona, and then back to London. And so I used London as my base, and then I flew to, um, Rome, and then to Florence on the train, and then back to Rome and flew out of there.

Josh: If anyone has any recommendations— it's being super selfish— but if anyone has any recommendations of things to do in Europe, yeah, well, if you've— hi@thedailytalkshow.com.

Tommy: Well, if you've never emailed the show We see where you're listening. We can— we've got— we're tracking you.

Josh: We've got people in Eastern Europe all over the place.

Tommy: Yes, we've got people in Japan. I love that one. Um, North— uh, South Korea, but you're not going there. But there's people in Greece that listen. So there's a bunch of places. Josh is going to Greece, so all over Europe. So if you're just from Europe, he might be near there and he can hand deliver you a sticker.

Josh: Yeah, I'll bring— I wonder how many stickers I'll end up bringing.

Tommy: I just had another storey from my fake ID days and it doesn't involve strippers, but it involves trying to pick up girls. And this is— and it's a— where, um, I think we were 16 at this point, and we're at this bar. There used to be this bar on Chapel Street called Frostbites. It was ahead of its times. How fucking— they had 30. So like, you'd look in and there would be a wall with like— picture a Slurpee machine at 7-Eleven. You see it sort of spinning. 30 of those along the wall.

Josh: Wow. Blue, green, red, yellow, like a cocktail type, all different flavored, um, slushies.

Tommy: Yeah, alcohol slushies. Yeah, all alcohol. And so that's— yeah, we were just— my friend and I were like obsessed. James and I, same guy, were obsessed with— like, we want to go to Frostbite's. And so we went in there and we were 16 talking to these girls at university. Wow. And, um, They were like, "Oh yeah." And we were just conning them that we were overage. I don't know what was gonna ever happen. We were so young. And then all I remember is like my phone going from my pocket and then just kept on going off and I was ignoring it. And then I like saw it and I was like, "Oh, I gotta." I said to the girl that I was trying to chat up, "Oh, I'm just gonna go take this." And then I go outside. Hi, mom. Yeah, just at James's.

Josh: Have you ever been handcuffed?

Tommy: No, I've never been handcuffed.

Josh: My brother was on, um, remember like Cubs? You know Cubs? It's like, uh, it's the thing before Boy Scouts or whatever it's called.

Tommy: Sea Scouts and Cubs.

Josh: My brother's, uh, my brother was doing Cubs with a kid whose dad was a security guard, and for fun they thought they would put handcuffs on my brother James.

Tommy: And the thing was So, this older guy?

Josh: No, no, no, no.

Tommy: The youngest.

Josh: The son. Yeah. Anyway, mum was mortified because they didn't have the keys, so they had to walk through the shopping centre handcuffed.

Tommy: Led by the other kid.

Josh: Yeah, with the security guard probably.

Tommy: Like, I used to be into wanting to get a real pair of handcuffs. Silly idea. Didn't you put handcuffs on your uncle? We talked about this in like episode 2.

Josh: Yeah, we've family rift.

Tommy: Uh, didn't see them for 4 or 5 years because you put handcuffs like a little shit on your uncle and pushed him over.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Didn't you push him onto the bed?

Josh: I pushed him onto the bed and he couldn't get up. But he told me that it wasn't, um— Aabri's having dinner with her dad and she's dropping off the car. I just got a notification on my phone.

Tommy: Lovely.

Josh: Um, yeah, no, that was, uh, like to leave that behind now.

Tommy: What?

Josh: That, uh, the handcuff story. It was, uh, now I've got— now we've got more listeners, now we've got more family listening. Wayne's probably like, uh, oh geez, what's going on? What's going on?

Tommy: Wayne, happy to have you on to hear your side of the story.

Josh: Wayne wasn't— I can be clear.

Tommy: I know Wayne's part of the family. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Josh: You've made the connection. Uh, one thing that I haven't considered at all is, uh, visas.

Tommy: Shit.

Josh: Do I have to worry about them? No, not for I think Turkey we do.

Tommy: Maybe Turkey, but not for the first 3 places that you go.

Josh: So we should be fine. Have you ever had any issues at a border? Any sort of—

Tommy: No, I've never had issues, but I once had, when I was coming back from America, I found some—

Josh: Drugs in your ass?

Tommy: No, remnants of drugs in my pocket.

Josh: Oh no.

Tommy: That I had, that was just there.

Josh: And what happened? You just—

Tommy: There was nothing in it. It was like a bag that there would have been some stuff in it. And for some reason it was in my pocket.

Josh: Oh, no. But like, that's the shit that gets you down.

Tommy: You gotta be so fucking careful.

Josh: Especially like if you're going to Southeast Asia or something.

Tommy: America's worse, like bad enough. Like, they're picking up on that shit.

Josh: Yeah. I always get nervous going into the US because with all my camera equipment, because you're meant to have— If you're doing documentary type stuff, there's a specific media visa that you need to get. Yeah, I've never gotten one. I've always gone under as a work trip or whatever and would be doing doco-esque style stuff, but I've never gone to the effort of trying to do the whole journo thing.

Tommy: Well, if you go to the States, they, they want to know if you're there working. And so you try and— that's what I got told when I was going there. Don't say you were— not that I was working, but just like avoid even entertaining any idea that you're doing some filming or something. Yeah, because it's like, okay, They'll point, put holes in it. You know, that's a job I probably couldn't do, is one of the, like, the blank face. There's no— half them don't have personality, the border people, you know, just like they're so, what are you doing here? Why are you like— they're, they're looking for something.

Josh: Yeah, it's a— it's, it's interesting. I've had some interesting experiences in regards to borders and stuff like that when I went to, uh, London, it was through— I arrived in Heathrow from Pakistan. I think we went through Qatar maybe. And I had a crazy neckbeard I'd been growing. And the guy was asking me where I'd just been in Pakistan, and I couldn't remember. I went blank.

Tommy: Really?

Josh: And it was just like one of those, like a little bit— I was a little bit stressed. And because I was mainly worried about like the filming sorts of The issue around filming.

Tommy: The 40-kilo carry-on luggage bag full of your camera gear.

Josh: Exactly. And I couldn't remember, Lahore was the city that I filmed in. I couldn't remember. Anyway, they, he asked me about my beard. Why have you got the beard? Literally, 'cause I'm just lazy. But they ended up calling over the federal police and pulling me aside and having a conversation. And then when I went, was leaving Heathrow to go to the US a few days later, I will, getting onto the plane. So, we'd been through security, all that sort of thing, getting onto the plane. My boarding pass double beeped. I got really excited. And Naysan, the guy who I was travelling with, was a couple, we weren't lined up together. He was behind, like a few behind me. And I was like, man, I'm about to get a fucking upgrade. This is great. Like, and turns out they said, oh, just come this way. And they took us into this sort of separate area got me to take all my shoes off and they did—

Tommy: Pants down?

Josh: Yeah, no pants down, but they got me to do a random test. They did, they tested me right before getting on the plane, which was strange. And then when I got to the US, and I think that part of the reason was because we were doing a lot of one-way flights, and it's also around— and so they, um, when I was in the US, I was on the secondary screening list, which Apparently didn't happen that much, but it was on the boarding pass. There was SSSS, 4 S's, and that just meant secondary screening. So anytime I went through a TSA, over 8 domestic flights that I went on in the US, every single one of them, when I would present my boarding pass, a TSA officer would have to take me through, go through the normal security, then they would pat me down.

Tommy: It was it, did they get, did you get through quicker because our—

Josh: No, no, because I had to wait, I had to wait in line anyway. So I had to wait in line, do that.

Tommy: But then hang on, was it just because you putrid neckbeard?

Josh: Well, yeah, no, it was because of the flight pattern, because we were flying around the world and because we went to Pakistan and, yeah, you know, a lot of sort of, uh, uh, Muslim countries. I guess that sort of flag— They think you thought that was a terrorist or something, probably just because you'd be— Yeah.

Tommy: And who was the— what country did you— was in Doha, you said that they asked you where did you get the neckbeard thing, where they said, what's your beard?

Josh: Heathrow.

Tommy: Heathrow, okay. They're pretty suspicious there. Yeah, they've had a big go on there.

Josh: Yeah. And so, um, yeah, I look, I didn't mind it that much, but the biggest problem was when we were in, um, Alabama and, uh, my mate Naysan was, uh, he's a US citizen. He said, you gotta shoot a gun once. He was very funny about it. He's like, you can't post about it on social media. I don't want anyone— because, you know, it can be pretty divisive, the whole gun thing. And I completely agree in regards to the gun laws in the States are fucked.

Tommy: But I'm sure if you look hard enough, you'll see Josh with a shotgun, AK-47.

Josh: So I, uh, no, we got some fucking— it was like Osama bin Laden. Actually, no, it wasn't Osama bin Laden. We got some, um, trying to think— it wasn't zombies. Basically, you, you, we went to, uh a place in Alabama. Actually, I'll tell you an extra bit of the story, which is probably not great, but we first went to Florida. There was a place called Gun World and, uh, Naysan—

Tommy: next to Toy World, you would think so, but huge, right?

Josh: Huge sort of range. And, um, it was, it was like a real sort of franchise type of one. And, uh, we, uh, we were going in and, uh, filling out all the paperwork and they asked for ID and I gave my passport And they basically said that 6 weeks earlier they'd just passed new laws which said that non-citizens couldn't be in the gun range area. So, you can't even go, like, not only can you not shoot the gun, you can't even go behind the glass. And, uh, Naysan said, oh, come on, like, this was gonna be experience for my Aussie mate, is there anything we could do?

Tommy: Oh, he's an American citizen.

Josh: Yeah. And he said, uh, they said, oh, look, we're like a big company, so we follow it all by the rules, and there— but most places wouldn't know about this. So that was where we ended up in Alabama. And it wasn't like we flew to Alabama for this, but we were just— we're filming all over the country and we ended up in Alabama driving past. We had a break in filming and we saw a gun range.

Tommy: What did it cost to go in?

Josh: It wasn't that expensive. Nay Sun got it for me, but It was— it scared the fuck out of me, uh, and like just the, the loud banging and stuff and just like, uh, but anyway, I, uh, shot up, you know, shot a few guns, all that sort of thing. And, um, the next day I had a, uh, I had a flight and it did— we did the secondary screening type stuff, went through. One of the things that they do during the secondary screening is they also swab all of your, uh all your gadgets, clothes, all that sort of thing. They swabbed my laptop and doo doo doo doo doo doo, the gunpowder residue or something was on the laptop.

Tommy: Really?

Josh: From, because I'd gone from using the gun. On your hands and then touching your laptop.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: So, they ended up having to do a third screening where they basically took me behind, like into a separate room, but it was like, I was like, what's going on here? What's about to happen? But they ended up just, they normally use the back of their hand when they get to your junk, like to just fucking sort of tap it like some sort of real, like I'm just doing this.

Tommy: Show me how it's done.

Josh: Yeah, they just fucking tap them like that, right? How does it feel?

Tommy: Not bad. No, it's not. He's a metre away.

Josh: I like that you're still touching it. Crazy, right? Woof, woof. Yeah, so I, so for the third screening they actually go The other hand, you're not.

Tommy: Yeah, so the third screening means, okay, we found something, we need to go back and check.

Josh: Yeah, they're like, okay, we found something, so we just need to be a little bit more thorough. So there you go. So hopefully I don't have anything like that.

Tommy: Nah, so you smooth sailing.

Josh: It's nice just being on a holiday this time, not having to worry about that sort of shit.

Tommy: Tel Aviv, uh, so Israel, full on going through, full on.

Josh: Do they stamp your passport?

Tommy: I can't remember.

Josh: Sometimes they'll give you a little bit piece of paper that they'll stamp, especially if you're going to Islamic countries and stuff like that. You might have trouble going.

Tommy: They won't stamp your passport because they know that you might have trouble getting in somewhere else.

Josh: I'm not sure the reason behind it, but I just know mates that have done it and they have not had the Israel stamp within the actual passport because it can create issues when you're travelling around.

Tommy: There's something about when you are in the new place. Just the— and you take it for granted when you are in your hometown and you just know every— you know the directions, you know where you are, you can— you've got a bird's eye view of like a map of where you are, how you get home and all of that stuff. And that just goes out the window. So sense of direction's fucked.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: And you're just looking left and right going, which way?

Josh: Well, I'm planning on not using my mobile phone as much. Good luck. Yeah, what do you think?

Tommy: Well, maps on it.

Josh: Well, that's the fucking problem, isn't it?

Tommy: Yeah, well, you— because you can download a map, like, so you get through Google Maps, you can actually—

Josh: yeah, you press a proximity, you press OK Google, you type in OK Google, OK Google, into, uh, or is it OK Google?

Tommy: You can actually use your Maps app or your Google Maps app.

Josh: You can press OK, you can type in— I think it's OK Google. Me just—

Tommy: there's a way to set it so you can download, say, like a 50-kilometer—

Josh: yeah, I think it's literally typing in, okay Google, I'm gonna try it now. But, um, yeah, I don't know, I, I don't want to be, um, using my, uh, my phone as much.

Tommy: It's just setting your notifications not to be fucking going off non-stop while you're okay.

Josh: Google, I think it's okay Maps. Maybe this is painful.

Tommy: So the different time zones shit will be going off and it will be so irrelevant to you.

Josh: Okay Maps.

Tommy: Okay Maps.

Josh: So you type in Okay Maps and then it's giving me a box. I can sort of zoom out. And so for me to— I can zoom out all— you can't go that far. You can go basically almost to Victoria. Yeah, Victoria, this the state.

Tommy: You get the state of Tasmania in.

Josh: Yeah, basically state of Tassie will take 1.7 gigs.

Tommy: And then you hit download.

Josh: And you hit download, and then it means that anywhere that you are, you don't have to worry about having phone reception.

Tommy: Did you just download that?

Josh: No, it wouldn't be that quick. It would take a little bit of time. I just press cancel. That's handy. Okay Maps in the Google app. There's a tech tip of the week.

Tommy: You're taking a Kindle with you. I saw it's probably— I mean, fucking unbelievable technology, Kindle. No, but it's not rocket science. But it saves you from carrying 40 books with you.

Josh: To be clear, I'm not that fast about reading.

Tommy: I nearly crashed the other day. I was driving along, I look over, this woman had this book in her hand and all I could see was the word vagina on it.

Josh: What do you mean?

Tommy: So it was just like this huge writing, vagina. And I was like, what?

Josh: On a book?

Tommy: On the front cover of the book.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: And so I was like—

Josh: And she's driving?

Tommy: I was driving. And where was she? She was walking while reading.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: So she was, rather than being on her phone, she was cruising along reading.

Josh: It just said vagina.

Tommy: Huge vagina on the front, text, text. And I looked it up and I found the COVID of what it was. It's called The Vagina Monologues. No, I don't have the photo here. Okay, there's no vagina on the front cover, it's just words.

Josh: Smutty episode, sorry about that.

Tommy: Just, but yeah, it was called The Vagina Monologues. A woman wrote it, a book about women and their vaginas.

Josh: Have you ever thought about writing a book?

Tommy: I can't fucking write.

Josh: That's not it.

Tommy: To start with, you know what, I've— if people listen to this, uh, our podcast over the 5 years that we— if, if we do it for 5 years, they could easily write a book for me. It's what Gary Vee does, doesn't he? Just gets people to— yeah, he can't transcribe what they said. But you said to me last week I want to write a book. I might write a book while I'm away.

Josh: Yeah. Do you think it's boring? Do you think I've like— I don't think it could be. It's obviously not a memoir because I haven't lived a life to write a memoir, but I feel like I've got a lot of, uh, storeys that I want to—

Tommy: who was telling us? Sam Mack, who— his episode's coming out this week, Friday 29th. Yeah, Friday the 29th of June. He was saying that he has these things come to him from his time working as a weather Guy on Channel 7 that he just writes little bits that could form something later on.

Josh: Just sends himself an email.

Tommy: Sends himself an email every week. Fucking great idea.

Josh: Never heard of something iCloud and Notes.

Tommy: No, but maybe, yeah, I don't know, you gotta find what works for you.

Josh: But yeah, he does it every day.

Tommy: Takings of what happens while you're away. Stories.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. I wonder, I've got zero expectations around what it's going to be. The whole fucking trip. I think that the biggest key for me, and I think what Bri is nervous on, is that I'm not gonna fucking switch off. And that the idea was that this was like, you know, we don't know what's gonna happen. We don't know, like, you know, I was sort of saying, oh, you know, you know, 6 months ago I was saying maybe we just keep travelling and keep going and we're away for 3 years. But now that you and I are doing our thing, I've sort of reined it in a little bit. Which I think it's good, it means that we can— it's a little bit more, um, I mean, it's less risky because I know that we, we're coming back to something and we're going to be doing something.

Tommy: Yeah, I think that's half the time when stuff happens in life, when you almost have something set in stone, whether it be loose like we could keep traveling. Yeah, we're free. But that's when you start realising the shit that you actually want to do, or other stuff aligns.

Josh: Oh, fuck, closing a loop. Or not closing a loop, a fucking update. Sandra Sully on the track.

Tommy: Oh yes, fuck.

Josh: We haven't even had a chance because of the Friday's episode, which was with Geoff Jowett, which when we do, we're every Friday from now on. You can expect a guest throughout the whole time that I'm away. We've at least got 10 episodes of that, which will be exciting.

Tommy: And we did an episode called Sandra, if you're listening. Which we didn't have, she hadn't written to us then, but what we had heard that Sandra had down, become a subscriber of the podcast.

Josh: Yeah, well, the show's wizard, Dr. Jason Fox, was doing a conference with her in Sydney and just said, "Hey, gotta get on this whole The Daily Talk Show bandwagon." And so, yeah, we got a tweet from Sandra Sully.

Tommy: What did she say again?

Josh: She said, okay lads, I did tune in last night, cry face, and yes, thumbs up, count me in for episode 200.

Tommy: Okay, so 200, it's happening.

Josh: Just before we go, you and I on the weekend filming some content, and on the way there saw a road rage incident.

Tommy: Look at Josh's Instagram account, @joshjansen. Yeah, yeah, he was fucking— he was a wild unit, that guy.

Josh: Yeah, well The video has had a fair few views and I called Victoria Police about it. They said unless the victim comes forward, there's nothing they can do, which is sort of bullshit, don't you think?

Tommy: I mean, if you're a road rager, it gives you hope. If you are on the receiving end, it gives you fuck all hope.

Josh: People need— if you're in the car right now, just settle the fuck down. Seriously. And if I go into the right lane, don't fucking put your high beams on. If I'm like 20 metres away, it's constantly— people are fucking idiots.

Tommy: Would you prefer high beams or beeping?

Josh: I think high beams is— they're both fucking obnoxious. Anyway, it's a daily talk show, everyone. hi@thedailytalkshow.com if you want to send us any emails. Last day to get stickers, so subject line stickers with your address in the body.

Tommy: And we've got my wife on tomorrow's show.

Josh: Yeah, and then I'll be coming from you, from coming from you? I'll be, I'll be coming from London. No, we'll be doing an episode live, sort of.

Tommy: Yeah, I recorded on the day while Josh is in London and I'm in Melbourne. Yeah, and then released to you.

Josh: But maybe feel free to send through any suggestions of, or any questions you have for us too. What are you liking? What are you fucking hating? We like hearing from you. So have a good one, guys.

Tommy: See you guys.
