The big bite

Josh: Wait a minute!

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

Josh: It's a Daily Talk Show episode 150. Tommy Jackett, I don't want to make emphysema jokes because they're not funny.

Tommy: But you sound so—

Josh: wow.

Tommy: What, what, what?

Josh: It's not ideal. What is going on? Well, the last time we spoke on Friday, I think that I was sort of saying that I was getting a bit of a man flu.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And I think this is peak man flu right now. This is unbelievable.

Tommy: You see, I said before, you sound like you're 2 years old. It's this weird— it almost sounds like a different person. It's amazing.

Josh: Yeah. I love it. You can see me, you can testify that it is in fact— I actually sound like— there's a comedian, I don't know his name, but he's got a podcast called The Little Dumb Dumb Club. I actually just sound like him, which is really strange. Anyway, I'm currently in Paris. Yeah. Um, what's been, what's been going on?

Tommy: Oh mate, I'm, uh, it's It's— we're doing— I'm doing the morning shift, 6 AM. Just got my coffee. Nearly— I just avoided a massive queue of tradies just trying to punch out their dollar coffees, and I got in good. But mate, fuck, last night I— this is the kind of shit that you hear happening to parents and you go— you don't even— like, I don't think when you're not a parent, you'd be like, oh, that sounds ridiculous. And it wouldn't even enter your mind that this kind of shit happens. But last night I was sitting on the couch and Bodhi is now saying up, and he wants to— whenever he wants to get up, he's— when he's near— when he— he'll come over to you when he wants to get to something a bit higher as well, and he'll just say up so he can get up to press something, press the microwave button. But last night he said, he said up, and I was lying on the couch, I was sort of sitting on the couch with my legs kind of open, and he kind of ran into the the middle, you know, ran into my legs. So he's in my crutch and he said, "Up!" And he sort of like put his face flat down onto my crutch, and then I started to pull him up. And Amy is over in the kitchen and all she hears is me yell, "You little fuck! He bit my dick!

Josh: Fuck!

Tommy: Oh my God!" Like And the worst thing was I pulled him up so quickly, and I had pants on, by the way. I wasn't nude. And I sat him down, and he was just— he looked so scared because I yelled so loud. It hurts so much. Anyway, Amy looks over, she's going, "What is going on?" And he's just looking at Amy crying. And I'm— and I, at that moment, the pain had subsided, and I was feeling so bad. But dude, he bit my dick and I've got a mark there. He got his two little— he got his top two— he's got like can openers and he just nipped it. Oh my God.

Josh: He's trying to can open your dick.

Tommy: It was horrible.

Josh: I think you did the right thing. I think screaming, like you need to express how shocking That is, right?

Tommy: Oh mate, no one— I don't care who you are, you're not biting my dick.

Josh: It was full on. So what did you do from there? Can you communicate to a nearly 2-year-old?

Tommy: Nah, I mean, I just— I said sorry because I felt bad. He looks— he was so scared of—

Josh: He bites your dick and then you're apologising to him? What sort of— how fucked up is parenting?

Tommy: I know, the poor little guy, he's so scared.

Josh: What did Amy say? What was Amy's view on the whole thing?

Tommy: Oh, she was— I know, she was kind of like, uh, she was, she was more concerned of how— what I said, like, because I reacted so— I didn't even know what happened. It happened so quickly, all I could say was, you little fuck.

Josh: Do you worry now that, like, this is— now that he got a rise out of you, that he knows that this is a thing and that you're going to get like reports home from, um, you know, daycare saying that he's become the dick biter in the group?

Tommy: No, I mean, he bites other kids. He's actually quite gentle. He just does this thing when he lies, when he sort of, he runs at you and he falls into you and he just nips your clothes. And so he just thought, he just thought he was doing that, but it was in the wrong wrong place and I came off, mate. I've legitimately got a mark. It's like it almost drew blood. It's, it's full-on. I never thought this would be happening to me, this shit. Like, you don't even think about my kid's gonna bite my dick. What the fuck?

Josh: Absolutely not. And I never thought that episode 150 I would sound the way that I sound and you would be Telling that storey to start. Congratulations, by the way. Episode 150. How do you feel?

Tommy: Yeah, we've made it. I mean, for people that— no one else is here. It's just me. But I can see you look like you're in some, like, Prince's lair. You've got like a gold-plated mirror behind you.

Josh: Yeah, it's literally just like a tacky gold frame. But yeah, no, we're, we're, um, in Paris. But the, uh, the funny thing is we've, um, caught up with friends for the next week, and, uh, we caught up with them just, uh, for dinner just now. And I was adamant to sort of act cool as if I wasn't sick because I feel like the most annoying thing would be, especially because they're only away for, say, 4 weeks So I don't want to fuck their trip. So I was just like playing it down. I'm like, oh yeah, man, I, um, had the aircon on last night. I slept with the aircon on. I just woke up like this. But I think, um, I think it seems a bit worse than that. What do you think?

Tommy: Oh, I don't know. I think going to sleep, I think you'll sound better tomorrow. It's, it's the end of the day for you. So you've been up all day. You'd probably, your throat's tired. You've been, um, You've probably— I mean, yeah, it's just the end of that. You need to have a sleep and hopefully you feel better tomorrow. Do you actually feel horrible or not?

Josh: Yeah, no, I do, but I'm trying to complain less because Bree literally had like this sort of sickness when we were touring Auschwitz last week, and I just— I don't— I'm not, um, I'm not as in tune with that stuff. Like, I forget. It takes me to be in the situation for me to then gain the empathy. So I feel like I wish in some— I wish that it happened the other way around, that I was sick first so I could understand how shit it was, to then build up the empathy to then look after her. Because she's been like a champion and been like super nice, but I feel like I was a little bit like, uh, are you gonna be okay? Like, maybe— I think you just— my solution to everything is, I think you haven't drunk enough water. Which is sort of a really frustrating thing because she was drinking so much water and needing to piss all the time. And I'm like, I think it's just, it's just dehydration.

Tommy: So the end of the weekend here, Amy and I lucked out and we, we were looking on Saturday to go and do— yeah, go.

Josh: Just very quickly about lucked out. I'm confused with lucked out. I was going to bring it up another day, but does lucked out mean you got lucky? Or that you run out of luck.

Tommy: Yeah, true, true. Lucked out in the way I'm using it is like we got lucky. You could say we got lucky, we lucked out.

Josh: Is that the official? But I feel like we can use it either way, right? But like, I feel like people use it— I don't—

Tommy: I have never heard anyone say in reference to not having any more luck, like you've— we've run out of luck. Okay, we lucked out with—

Josh: yeah, you're correct. I've just looked it up. This can be our word of the day, um, even though it's more of a phrase. Uh, lucked out, to luck out, to experience great luck, to be extremely fortunate or lucky. So there you go. So you got lucky last night.

Tommy: Yeah, so we, TJ, we were looking on Saturday arvo like, what can we do? What can we do with Bodhi? Where can we take him? Is there anything? And I started looking up, you know, family tourist attractions. Fuck me. I was looking at bars a couple of years ago.

Josh: Where can we go drink?

Tommy: Now I'm looking at where we can go. So I landed on, um, I found this place called Fairy Park and it was like, it's so bizarre. It's this place in, um, just outside of Geelong. And it's this weird, it would be like if some eccentric dude who loved sort of like make-believe worlds. Had a property and built this thing called Fairy Park.

Josh: Michael Jackson. It is probably like, what?

Tommy: But look, it's bizarre. Anyway, I didn't end up going there, but I, I'll get to that a bit later. I went down this rabbit hole of reading reviews on TripAdvisor about this park. That's another story. But so what we decided to do was to, um, go to, uh, Sky High in Dandenong, which is a lookout that just looks back towards Melbourne. Oh no, sorry, sorry, Dandenong.

Josh: Sorry, you've got to stop fucking confusing people. So for our international listeners, this happened to people I know who came from Europe to Australia on a business trip, and I, I, um, had only met them while I was, uh, while they were in Australia, so I couldn't help them. Um, it was after they did this that they told me, but there's a big difference between the Dandenongs and Dandenong. Dandenong in Australia, I grew up near there, so I can say this, it's a bit fucking dingy. It's a little— you don't want to go past Dandenong Station. And the Dandenongs is this beautiful fucking, like, a forest where you've got this amazing view. So these poor, uh, people from Europe had come to Melbourne and ended up at fucking Dandenong Station trying to find out where the viewpoint is, probably speaking to some— Dandenong is the area in which Mick Hall, who we had on, did his first bit of heroin, right? That gives you a pain— that paints the picture of the sort of, you know, the world that Dandenong is. So go on, so you went to the Dandenong?

Tommy: So we went to the Dandenongs, which This is in Olinda. So, it's in a different suburb, not even the— it's not even Dandenong. Thank you for correcting me there. So, yeah, we went up there and it like, you could see these storm clouds where we were when we were driving from St. Kilda. It was like, it was a bit cold. There was some blue sky, but you could see these like rolling, just storm clouds brewing towards where we were going. And so, we're driving towards the storm. We drove past your parents' place. On North Road, Josh. Just, yeah, Rowville. We sort of went up the back way through Belgrave. And, um, it's, I mean, it's only about 40 minutes from sea level. And so, but you start going up into the, up into the mountains, so it gets nice and cold. And it was, it was really chilly. And we got up to right near, um, Sky High, which you pay $7 to get into. Mind you, I was always, I was looking.

Josh: And Sky High also has the big chair too, don't they? They have a few attractions.

Tommy: Yeah, you pay $7 to get in, which was one of the things that I, I didn't go to Fairy Park because it was, I think it's $16 to get in each. And, um, and yeah, anyway, it looks terrible, but, um, he's got to pay for his fairy hat.

Josh: Yeah, definitely, definitely. Eccentric dude.

Tommy: Well, I don't know if an eccentric guy actually owns it, but I've painted the picture, so go roll with it. Anyway, so we roll up and it basically started snowing at Sky High. And this is not like— we're not at the snow, we're not at the mountains where it does this. And so we lucked out in terms of it started raining and the rain, it wasn't— it was like sleet, but it blanketed the whole entire— so it looked like this It looked like we were at the snow and the, and the ground was white and it was just, it was unbelievable. And the reason I say that like that, because I'd always heard of it snowing in these areas, right? But it's very, it's like rare.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: And you, it would be timing and you just need to be, and I always thought, okay, as soon as I hear it's going to be snowing up there, I'm going to go up like when it's getting really cold and it's going to rain. So we got up there, it was unbelievable. It was like you could see the storm, the cloud rolling in, and then it just started like sleet and it was amazing. And so we, yeah.

Josh: So sleet, is sleet like, is this essentially hail?

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: It's just like icy hail, but it, like I was out in it and I had my jacket on and it, and you hardly got wet because it was all frozen hitting the ground and it was so, it was so intense and so quick. And if you're from a country where it snows just in winter, you probably think this is a dumb story, but it's very novel here. And so, but here's the thing. I was the one excited about it. I was the only one who got out of the car. Bodhi was asleep and Amy was just too cold. So, I was out playing in the sleet by myself.

Josh: No, I was so happy when I saw the Insta storeys because We had a chat, um, during the week where you were talking about, you know, I did fuck all on the weekend type of thing. Was this sort of an active effort to get out and about? Have you had any sort of reflections on, you know, like, was it worth the adventure?

Tommy: I think the thing with having a kid is it's on the weekend. It can go very quickly because you just, you're sort of looking after the baby, putting him to bed. And you just, you know, feeding them and just, and it just goes, you're just trying to almost kill the time. And it's a lot of effort to get out of the house. It sounds, sounds like a bad excuse, but it is. It's so tiring.

Josh: Road trips, I guess, are good in the sense of if you like get them in the car and then you just, then you drive it like a road trip's a good thing to do with as parents, or is it just a bit hellish? Oh, it depends.

Tommy: Aboadi's really good in the car. We just chuck on the wheel. He loves the wheels.

Josh: Yeah, well, he can't fucking— he can't bite your dick when he's strapped in.

Tommy: He's strapped in like a little savage. And then we went, um, after we went, we went to, um, uh, who was he? Nate? Yeah, Ned Kelly. You remember Ned Kelly? The, um, the— yeah, what— how would you—

Josh: this is, uh, yeah, this is the thing, right? So we've got international listeners. This is almost going into the territory of when the, uh, the person, uh, in, in, uh, Krakow asked me what the tallest mountain in Australia was, which is Kosciuszko. I'm never going to forget the way I'm remembering that, by the way, is I'm thinking cosy as in bathers. I don't know why, but anyway, um, he was, uh, Ned Kelly was a ranger who had some like fucking tin thing on. He was a bad guy, shot cops and stuff. And he was— was he— he was hung in Pentridge.

Tommy: Yeah, Old Melbourne Jail. He was now like an Australian bushranger, outlaw, gang leader, and convicted police murderer. So I mean, he's painted— he's painted as a—

Josh: you— can you try and sound a little bit more, uh, authentic when you're just reading directly?

Tommy: One of the last bushrangers, and by far the most famous. He's best known for wearing a suit of armor. That's Ned Kelly, Josh.

Josh: Yeah. Yeah. He's the— I wonder where is that tin of— yeah, people can look it up themselves, but I think it's on display somewhere.

Tommy: Yeah, it's at the Old Melbourne Gaol. The dude thought he was fucking Iron Man.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: Built some crazy like body suit armor, but it all ended up bad for him and he got hung. But anyway, Hang.

Josh: Hanged. I just worked out that's another word of the day. Uh, the, uh, the past tense— if you've been— if you're hanging, it's hanged.

Tommy: Because he's already— he's been hanged.

Josh: Um, anyway, yeah, you don't say hung for whatever reason. I don't know why. Hi, The Daily Talk Show.

Tommy: He actually died at 25. That's the weirdest thing, like these people in history— just side note— these people in history that were like monumental figures. They like— that's so young, dude. I was—

Josh: he had such a big beard. Oh, it was epic, didn't he? Or am I thinking of someone? So he was— we've essentially done full circle. Like, he's the epitome of a barista, hipster barista.

Tommy: He's Jason Fox. Um, Dr. Jason Fox we had on the podcast. Yes, I said he had the Ned Kelly vibes.

Josh: That is so— he does have that sort of, um, maybe that could be, uh, uh, Jason does a word every year or an archetype every year that he sort of— that, uh, helps him guide how he's going to be throughout the year. I wonder if Ned being Ned Kelly is, um, has some, some form of good qualities, I guess, just getting out there and get shit done.

Tommy: I mean, potentially good qualities. I'm just looking here at the Wikipedia. It says convictions: murder, assault, theft, armed robbery. Uh, he was a wild motherfucker. And anyway, he's actually a good looking rooster. And in, uh, up in the— the reason I bring up Ned is because there's a, there's a place called Kelly's at just right near Sky High. It's like this pub. Amy and I have done a similar trip up there before, and this was, I think, last year, grand final day. Amy and I just went with Bodie and we— yeah, we went and had lunch at this place called Kelly's. And it's so funny, like, this place Kelly's was— last time we had this bad experience. And it's funny, like, how you somehow convince yourself that it's good to go back to a place that you had a bad experience. And it's like, yeah, I'll just go there. I don't know. Like, I think what we like about it is there was— it's like an old, like, wood cabin style, um, pub. And so there's like this section where there's like this nice fireplace and it feels like you're in a log cabin. There's like exposed logs all on the wall. And yeah, it's really nice. We should go, we'll do a little road trip with the, with the, um, the wives. We'll go up there. Anyway, it's, um, Ned Kelly's sister. She lived there and there's a— and so they've kept like the area that it was and extended it out to the side. But they say that Ned Kelly actually visited that place and, um, and he— yeah, so his sister lived there anyway. So we went back there. And we had another bad experience from the moment we walked in. But, um, so what happened? It's, it's one of the things that I, I don't know if I owned a restaurant, I would be fucking ropeable if my staff did this. And it's when you say it was 5, it was 5.

Josh: Could you imagine having a restaurant? Just quickly. What a clusterfuck that would be.

Tommy: It's just dealing with people.

Josh: And we don't have any staff. Just remember, I feel like that was a big thing with, um, uh, our mate, uh, Tommy with his cafe, just trying to get like staff that are good and shit like that.

Tommy: It sounds like such fucking work. My thing is, um, when you go to a cafe, so it was 5:10 when we walked in the door and that's kind of early for dinner. There was no one in the restaurant. There was one elderly couple by the fire. I thought, you pricks, you got the fire spot, fuck you. But you can have it, you're probably on your way out anyway.

Josh: Yeah, and they've been there for 30 years, they just haven't moved. The service is so bad, no one— they haven't gotten the bill yet and just waiting.

Tommy: And so we walked in and the, um, the front of house, this young lady, she said, oh, we're full, uh, fully booked, we're fully booked. I just looked at it, I It was one of those moments where I was just like, fuck, what time are bookings? And she goes, oh, oh, they're from, from 6. Well, perfect. We'll be done by then. She said, oh yeah, sure. But it's like she was about to knock us back and she didn't need, like, what do you think? We had a kid, we had Bodie with us. So maybe we could get.

Josh: It's not like there's a huge amount of options.

Tommy: I get it. And we don't want to be there for 2 hours. And so it's, it anyway, so she, she ended up saying, oh, okay. But we had to push her to actually get a seat. And so she was a bit standoffish and then she lightened up and she was absolutely lovely. And she was like giving Bodie special attention. Bodie bit her tit. No, I'm joking. No, no. But then she started letting all these other people in after us. It was like she had this moment where she's like, oh fuck, I can sit people up until the time that the table then gets occupied. Who would have known?

Josh: And so, man, it's so funny you mentioned that storey because, uh, Bree had a situation a couple of days ago where she went into, um, a mani-pedi place, uh, in, uh, Poland, and there was no one in the shop. And, uh, Bree asked if she could get a a pedicure and the lady said that they were fully booked. Not a single person in the whole place.

Tommy: Oh God.

Josh: And then Bree's just giving commentary now. She said she was just, the lady was on her phone on Facebook.

Tommy: Ridiculous.

Josh: Didn't give a fuck.

Tommy: Imagine how much money has been lost across the world in restaurants that people have done this.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: And I think it could be young staff because when we walked in, last time into the same Kelly's place, the woman said to us, uh, we said, oh, we just wanted to grab some lunch. She's like, the kitchen's closing in 10. It's like, just, it was like meaning get the fuck out, we don't want to help you.

Josh: And it was like, well, uh, if you know, the funny thing is, is it's like it seems really bad, but after you've been to Italy, like, your perspective changes on what's fucked because those, those guys, it's like, you know, 10 to 3, and it's like, oh no, we can't serve you. Like, it was so difficult because I like having 2 meals a day, having the first meal around 10, second meal around 3:30, and it just didn't work out in Italy. Like, we ended up just fucking carb loading and eating so much because The, um, yeah, they just, they have all of their, um, their naps and shit, their clothes for the, uh, what's that called? Siesta? Do they siesta there? I don't know what the fuck they call it. I was there for a month, I should know. Yeah, but they, they would, um, yeah, they would have those big sort of, uh, closing times. So, um, I feel like this is less, less bad than, um, Italy.

Tommy: Yeah, well, the first time we went to that Kelly's place, I had to push her as well. I was like, 'Well, if we put through another now, will that be okay?' Cause the bar wasn't— the place wasn't closing. It was just the kitchen. And so I was like, anyway, I would go back there. It's this weird thing where it's like, I like the venue enough.

Josh: No, I, I, yeah, I'm very much like, uh, when I've had a bad experience, I just cut them off. And, um, somewhere around Olinda actually. Oh. Oh no, it's a Linda. It's, um, the piggery, which is just near the stairs, the Thousand Steps, which you, um, you've made a video on. Uh, they forgot my eggs once, and, um, I was eating my meal and I realised at the end. And, um, what I said to them, I'd gotten a side of sausage. I was doing keto at the time, got a side of sausage, and, um, At the end of the meal, I was like, oh, like my mate was like, oh, um, you don't have your eggs. And so I, I was waiting to get their attention, but kept eating at the same time, finished my meal. I said, oh, you've got, um, the meal came with eggs. It wasn't even an add-on. I said, oh, look, just, just, um, take off the, the sausage, the add-on. So he was like, oh, sorry, we can't do that. He goes, we'll have to bring you out the eggs. That's all we can do. So he brought me a fucking mug with two poached eggs. And a spoon, and I ate the fucking poached eggs like some sort of baby. That's hilarious. It was. And so I've just never— and then we heard behind us there were people who had a $100 voucher for this place. They were having breakfast, their bill came to like $50, and they were told that they had to use the entire voucher then and there. So they had to spend $50 on bread. Fuck the piggery. Yeah.

Tommy: I mean, yeah, that's, that's enough to not go back, but we should go back to that place Kelly's and then do a third review. See if there's, if we have a bad, I mean, this is the thing. You go back into these places. If you've ever had a bad experience and then you're really conscious, you're looking for any moment where they just, you fucked up, you know.

Josh: Well, just imagine how I felt after giving the lady at the hotel in Munich a review and then having to stay there for 2 days. I was fucking turning around, looking around, any opportunity. I'm like, she's going to steal our identity. We need to take our passports everywhere. We need to cheque our credit cards. It was, it was—

Tommy: So I'll tell you about this, um, the review rabbit hole that I went on, because I did think of you because I Personally, I haven't ever left a review on any one of these, you know, TripAdvisor platforms. To be clear, I mean, you leave one, you've left enough to be the review guy. So out of you and I, you're the review guy. But that Fairy Park, it's unbelievable. Because what I like to do is the TripAdvisor breaks it down and there's like, you know how they've got like You know, amazing, like average or good. And so they break into sections and you can see how many people— yeah, poor, terrible. And then you can see how many comments or how many reviews have been left in that section. Then you can click onto it and it breaks it down to see just that section. So I clicked onto the, the one star, if you will, but they call it terrible. That's the, that's the— they actually don't use stars in TripAdvisor. Anyway, this one is creepy, disturbing relic from another era. And, uh, what the hell? And so I'll just read this quickly.

Josh: Just read.

Tommy: And Dick Biter: I visited Fairy Park with grandchildren and ended up feeling that I had subjected them to an extremely damaging experience. The majority of characters are supersized and with grotesque, hideous faces and expressions. The play equipment is incredibly old and outdated and certainly doesn't look like it would comply with 2015 safety requirements. Overall, a horrible day, and the kids agreed.

Josh: The kids agreed. The kids agreed.

Tommy: Um, it's fucking awesome. What blew my mind was the responses from Fairy Park. So they, and, and it's funny, it's one of those things like that, you know, I've spoke about is, you know, responding to only negative feedback and not like saying, you know, thanks so much for the amazing review. It's like they've gone through and responded to all of the really bad reviews. And so, let me just read the response.

Josh: Whoa.

Tommy: We hate reading reviews like this because we obviously want people to have an adventurous, fun family day out. We've never heard of our beautiful characters having grotesque faces before. However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Thankfully, most people love their day here and take away happy memories of this place. They don't feel like they've, in quotation marks, been subjected to an extremely damaging experience. Playground does comply with safety standards. We take our responsibility seriously. Thank you for taking the time to review. Now I will just say that is, that doesn't highlight what I wanted to point out here. Cause that's, but yeah, every, and what I've noticed.

Josh: An extremely damaging experience. They want an extremely damaging experience. Try eat 2 poached eggs on their own in a mug.

Tommy: That's what I've noticed though is these, the, the com— the massive denial, like, uh, of the accusations that have been put out. Like I was reading through and say a lot of them are just coming back with like, it's like that woman denied that the experience of that hotel was anything like you had said. It's this weird tactic of actually just get—

Josh: it's like fake news. It's 100% dumping it.

Tommy: I don't think it's the best approach. I reckon that, that, that, that response was actually quite great. But all the others to them are like, we, we highly dis— we highly, um, you know, contradict what you were saying. Like, They're fully just going, what you were saying is wrong, or that's not true. It's such a weird way to respond to these things. It'd be like if I—

Josh: I mean, I think it says a lot about those people, right? Like, if that's their— if that's how they respond to reviews. In saying that, we are lucky that we, um, play in a B2B space, so we have, you know, we deal with, you know, 20, 30 clients a year And, um, it's all business to business. We don't deal with crazy consumers. Like imagine there's sorts of crazies that you'd get at restaurants, at parks, all that sort of thing as well.

Tommy: And everyone's a bit tweaked being at the Fairy Park anyway. They're on edge. Their kid's just bitten their dick and they're fucking looking for anything to just get fucking hyped up about.

Josh: And, uh, I mean, if you are going, if you're spending your weekend at the Fairy Park, you're probably a little bit more sort of inclined to leave a negative review, even if you have a good experience.

Tommy: I know, you know what though? I actually want to go because I want to see if it lives up to the negative reviews.

Josh: But maybe we could do a whole, a whole piece. Well, you and I have spoken about the idea I've had for a while, which is doing a video series on 1-star reviews where we basically take the 1-star review. Speak to the person who gave the review, speak to the owner, maybe do like a Catfish-esque meetup where they meet each other.

Tommy: And we make them meet in the princess's head.

Josh: Exactly.

Tommy: The top of the fun park, and they have to ride the slide together.

Josh: With grotesque faces. It's a daily talk show, everyone. You know, this is episode 150. A milestone, and I would just like to thank everyone who has sent in emails. We've had some reviews of late as well through podcasts, through iTunes. Thank you for that. And yeah, we've enjoyed— I still see, you know, we get a few hundred listeners every single episode, you know, 10,000 downloads we did last month, and it just keeps growing. So it's exciting to think that the people who are listening now are going to be that sort of hardcore group that in 5 years' time will be looking back and being like, man, those were good times.

Tommy: Yeah. It's, I mean, that reality of me getting a tattoo because we've got to the 1,000 episode is feeling like it could become reality.

Josh: Yeah, 100%. I've been going down sort of a nostalgia tunnel rabbit hole and looking at podcasts I used to listen to years and years and years ago, and you see that they're up to, you know, episode 3,000.

Tommy: Oh wow.

Josh: So I, I can definitely see us going, you know, well and beyond 1,000 episodes. So thank you to everyone for listening. I'm in Paris. Tomorrow I'll be heading to the South of France, so we'll be picking it up there. But otherwise, have a good Monday and we'll see you tomorrow.

Tommy: See you guys.

Josh: Catch us.
