Questions this episode answers
How does the Broadway ticket lottery work?
According to Josh, about an hour before a performance you put your name in a hat/lottery for a chance at some of the best tickets in the house, priced around $36. If selected, you must show ID and pay in cash, and you get 1 or 2 tickets depending on what you requested.
What was Tommy Jackett's 'Suck on That, Jules Lund' project?
It was a web series Tommy created with his friend Fitzie in 2012, filmed during a US trip, centered on their single, carefree adventures contrasted with their friend Jules Lund's more responsible life back home doing radio. It was shot on a basic Canon S100 camera and edited in a newly released Final Cut Pro X, and one video reportedly reached 100,000-200,000 YouTube views.
Why did Josh and Tommy start the episode in Times Square?
It was the first episode of their month-long US tour for October, during which they planned to release episodes recorded across New York and Los Angeles, starting live from Times Square the day after arriving.
Episode TranscriptShow
Tommy: Wait a minute! Crossface, the Daily Talk Show, a conversation sometimes worth recording with Josh Janson and Tommy Jackett.
Josh: It's a Daily Talk Show, episode 185, live from Times Square, New York City.
Tommy: If you can't tell because it's seriously noisy here, it is.
Josh: It's, uh, it's got a good vibe, a lot of people around.
Tommy: This is our first This is probably our biggest audience of people that are in front of us and the largest amount of people that aren't here for us because it's the three of us.
Josh: People taking selfies, I'd like to say with us in it, but they're sort of, they're going for sort of more the stairs.
Tommy: Yeah, this is so cool. So this is the first episode within our America tour because for the month of October, we're pretty much going to be releasing episodes from America, from the United States.
Josh: And you can hear there's rap music behind me. There's a like we're right next to the road in Times Square. There's the— well, what area would you call this, TJ? Is it got a specific name?
Tommy: So if you've ever come to Times Square, there's like a set of bleachers or like, like an amphitheater.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: And we're right there. This, I would say this is like the centre of Times Square, like the bit where everyone comes to and tries to take a photo.
Josh: It's got an overload of lights. That's what's perfect. Like we've got Bree live streaming right now as we're doing an Insta story, but there's like the, just the brightness from these LED screens.
Tommy: Yeah, there's so many colors, so much going on. I tell you what, I came here in 2012 and there's less selfie sticks than there were. I think it's like the death of the selfie stick. There's more gimbals, like people holding those like Steadicams for mobile phones.
Josh: That's very true, the gimbals.
Tommy: Yeah, you see them everywhere.
Josh: It only just hit me, this is the first episode back with you and I just together.
Tommy: Yeah, and so it's, we got here on Saturday Saturday night, so literally a day ago, and it's— I'm pretty tired.
Josh: Yeah, what was it? What was the— so you flew from Melbourne to Los Angeles and then Los Angeles to New York?
Tommy: Yeah, so, so funny on the— because we— yeah, we did the Melbourne to LA is like 14 hours. What happened? Because I've always like gone really soft on utilising the call button.
Josh: Yeah, I've never used the call button in my life.
Tommy: I've always— well, you see, yeah, I was that person that was like, nah, I don't want I don't want to annoy them, don't want to interrupt them. They've got enough, you know, enough on.
Josh: Yeah, as it is.
Tommy: But this flight, I was like, I'm taking advantage of this. I'm gonna try to— I'm gonna drink, and I'm going to, like, when the lights are out and I'm doing what I want, I'm gonna get another bottle of wine. But the— what the reason I stopped after 5 bottles of the mini wines—
Josh: is it a glass per 2 standard drinks per mini bottle?
Tommy: I don't know.
Josh: How many?
Tommy: 5 of them.
Josh: So you had 10 glasses of wine?
Tommy: Well, no, I don't know. I think a standard drink doesn't equate to a glass. It's just a standard drink within—
Josh: Yeah, 10 standard drinks.
Tommy: —standard drink of alcohol within a bottle. So I had 10 standard drinks.
Josh: So you were off your fucking face.
Tommy: By the 4th, I should have stopped because each time I pressed it, he would come out and say, "Can I help you?" And then I'd say, "Can I have some of that Cab Sav?" Yeah. And he'd say, "Sure thing." And he'd go back in, get the bottle, come back out. So 3 times he did that. By the fourth time, you were helping yourself, and he just handed me the bottle of Shiraz. They're enablers.
Josh: I can't believe that they don't shut you off. Did you get the vibe that you were going to be shut? Not at all.
Tommy: I could have kept going. I think it's like, I'm not a loose unit. I used to be, but I wasn't seeming drunk. And I think if I was on a footy trip and I was seeming drunk, that'd bar me. But they probably had my nickname as Cab Sav. Just Cab Sav pressing. And no, no, no, do you know what I did? I pressed the call button button of the seat that was next to me that was vacant because I was like, fuck, I'll show them, trying to bring out a cabsav. You're actually—
Josh: you're asking like the people like 3 rows down, can you just press the button, get the wine and give it to me?
Tommy: No, I pressed the button, yeah, next to me so they wouldn't assume that I was the pisshead.
Josh: Was this at the beginning of the flight? Was there any sort of strategy to it? No, actually drunk, you fall asleep?
Tommy: No, I actually was gonna have one and then I had one and then I was like, all right, listen, I'm having another. And then had some good food and then I was editing, so I was like getting a bit of a buzz while editing, and I was like, I gotta keep going. Had 3, 4, 5, I was asleep.
Josh: I think people who drink— like, I couldn't even imagine doing that with Coke Zeros. We had, um, Bree and I had a few kombucha.
Tommy: Yeah, mate, it's diminishing returns pretty quickly from drinking more than one Coke Zero.
Josh: But don't you think, like, would you feel weird if you went to a restaurant and got, say, 3 Coke Zeros in a sitting?
Tommy: I think it's a waste. It's not doing anything for you. Would you have had a liter? Alcohol at least is giving you a buzz.
Josh: Would the— so would you have had like a litre of wine then?
Tommy: Wow, I don't say they were probably 200ml maybe. So you had about a liter. I actually surprisingly, I went to sleep, woke up, felt completely fine. And so I went again. No, no, I didn't go again. No, that's good. But that was my flight. You've been flying for the last 3 months everywhere.
Josh: The lounge in Istanbul, that was a 6-hour layover. Yeah. 6 hours, and I just feel like I'd spent a lot of time sitting and sleeping. Yeah. But that's all good. It's good to be together in person.
Tommy: Yeah, I loved touching down on American soil. Yeah. And just thinking about what's ahead for this month. And this is the starting point. Yeah. This is kicking off the momentum of the trip.
Josh: Yeah, for the— like once we get, you know, we're in the States for the next few weeks, then we get back to Melbourne and it's all into the a new business, big media company.
Tommy: Yeah, that's exciting. But we've got to get through the next 2 weeks. Yeah, I know. Wow. It's just, it is a sensory overload here. Yeah. Like you've either stopped listening because you can hear too much ambient or maybe it's my panic attack that's doing it.
Josh: Am I acting cool?
Tommy: Am I okay? It is a bizarre city like New York. I know you've heard, like growing up you hear about what it's like. You see it on Home Alone. If you're Josh, you don't see it on Home Alone because you haven't watched Home Alone. Please tell me you've watched Home Alone.
Josh: I've seen Home Alone. But is it based in New York? I don't remember.
Tommy: There is one where he like, that he goes to New York. Yep. And he— oh, it's so, so cool.
Josh: But this is, I think, the thing to keep in mind is this New York City right now, this, um, uh, Times Square is so different to the, uh, other part of New York, like where we are in Bowery. Yeah, normal, like where we're staying in our Airbnb. It's a very different vibe.
Tommy: It's, um, so there's like, it's like suburbs in the same suburb. Yeah, well, because New York, like the city of New York, it's quite big, but it's quite small at the same time. Like you can in a day, you can sort of go up, up, up and down the whole thing. Yeah. Enjoying yourself. But there's like little boroughs like where we're staying, Nolita, north of Little Italy.
Josh: Ah, that's what I didn't know.
Tommy: Yeah, north of Little Italy. Like it's— I said to the guy at the airport, the customs dude, I said that north of Little Italy. And he's like, what? I didn't even know that.
Josh: Oh, really? Yeah.
Mason: So you're getting it.
Josh: This was going going into, you were in LA, so he probably didn't know all the New York stuff.
Tommy: Yeah, I guess America's so big that, yeah, you might not have thought you're actually going north of Italy.
Josh: He's like, "Wow, I didn't even know New York was close to Italy." Could have had that vibe. But we, you know, coming in with the customs, Bree actually got to, we were put on the secondary screening list. I did an Insta storey about this.
Tommy: That made me put the gloves on and go up.
Josh: Yeah, well, the SSSS is what it said on the boarding pass. Sss, slap, slop. Bend over. I think it's got that vibe. No, it's like secondary screening, something something. Anyway, it just meant that when we were getting on the flight from Istanbul to New York, we got like the full treatment, like they're asking all these questions, what we're doing, checking our shoes.
Tommy: Do you think it could be the neckbeard?
Josh: Well, that's what I'd mentioned.
Tommy: No man has ever grown his chest all the way up to his face.
Josh: It's a bit extreme. But no, could you live here?
Tommy: Well, now it's a different thought because I think about my wife and having a baby. Yeah. And I've like, just for the time that we've been here, not long, I've been fascinated by looking at families, young families walking around the streets here. 'Cause for one, it's super expensive. And so I think, okay, what our situation is and how little money we have because of how expensive it is for a child. Yeah. Imagine that here. I think, fuck, imagine growing up here. And then I think about what life would be like for a baby. So it's like not being selfish because I'm like, for me it'd be sick. I'd be fucking cruising around making videos, like going to all these cafes, bars. But that's not the reality. So I think about the child and what would be— what kind of thinking and what you'd think the world is like by growing up in a place like this. Yeah, I think positive and negative.
Josh: How does it change your perception of Melbourne, do you think? Just being here right now, what do you think?
Tommy: If you think Melbourne is New York City, if you haven't been to America, like any of the main cities in America, it is traffic here, the density of population and the difference in people. Yeah. You know, it's just so many more people.
Josh: Bree said, "Ah geez, athletic wear is a big thing here." Yeah, you get a good point. But I think that what it is, is you just have a look around. I can't see anyone in athletic wear right now in Times Square. It's obviously not the, location for a jog, but it's also like, I think you see more of everything here. So you see more people in leggings and stuff because there's just so many more people.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, I guess I'm looking forward to— so today's Sunday, um, here in New York. I'm looking forward to tomorrow seeing the shift in like people actually living.
Josh: Yeah, their normal life to work, because the vibe, the vibe right now is—
Tommy: it feels like a weekend. It feels different. Yeah. And so I'm looking forward to sort of seeing how we're here and what, what that working week looks like.
Josh: We've got some guests lined up. We've got Brad Blanks. Yes. On Tuesday, on tomorrow's episode.
Tommy: Yeah, you've probably heard, if you've listened to Hamish and Andy over their existence, you probably heard him. Celeb, celeb, bringing the celebs.
Josh: He's done like thousands of celebrity interviews.
Tommy: And I've got a friend Josh Pittiman who happens to be in town.
Josh: Yeah, he was the male lead in Carole King's musical Beautiful, which just wrapped up in Australia.
Tommy: It's the fact that it's wrapped up, it was like, oh damn, I should gone, but I probably— I had like 6 months to go.
Josh: That's always the way with musicals though, I feel, is the, um, uh, it feels like you have all of this time to go, but then you're like, oh man, I didn't go. It's like, how long was it on for? It's like, oh, 24 months.
Tommy: Yeah, they do long stints. I mean, this is the home of, uh, musical theater. Do you reckon we'll go?
Josh: Should we try and go to a Broadway? Like, what about if we do the— if we do the lottery thing? It's only like, what's the lottery? $36. So the way that works, Bree and I did this when we were in New York a few years ago for Book of Mormon. But you go basically an hour before, I think it's an hour before the performance, whatever the fuck, what is it called? The show? The show. And you put your name in a hat and they have a certain amount of tickets that are allocated, which are the best tickets in the house. So there was a dude that was running a Broadway show and he basically said, I want it to be open for people who don't have as much money. People like students and things like that to be able to afford to go and experience the great idea arts. So what they do is they give some of the best tickets to this lottery. So you rock up, put your name in, they pull your name out, those— you will say either you get 1 or 2 tickets based on whether you've asked for 1 or 2, and then you have to show ID, have to pay in cash, and you get to go to that.
Tommy: It's a good write-off under the table, exactly, covered up with, you know, we're doing something good for people. But I think that would do I think that would be a bit of fun. If I was to pay $36, the exchange rate where we are now in America, last time I was here, 2012, parity. It was $1.06 or something. Yeah. It was so good.
Josh: Can you explain what you were doing in the US last time you were here?
Tommy: Yeah, very different. I was very single and very childless and very irresponsible. Childish? Yeah, I was the child. I was here doing Suck on That, Jules Lund, which was a web series that my friend Fitzie and I created, all based around sharing our exploits and adventures, being single and carefree with our mate who was, you know, who had a lot of responsibility, Jules Lund. And to be honest, trying to leverage his somewhat celeb status back then.
Josh: So Jules was basically at home doing his radio gig. Yeah. And Fitzie were exploring the US. Yeah.
Tommy: And it was at a time where I bought the editing software before we went away.
Josh: Full cowboyed it. Full cowboyed it. Did you really pay Did you pay for it?
Tommy: I paid, yeah, I paid maybe $280 or $350. Was it FCPX? It's now $600.
Josh: Was it Final Cut Pro X? It was Final Cut Pro X. Wow, so you must have just gotten— Yeah. That would have only just come out like only a year prior. I think it came out in 2011.
Tommy: It was super new and I had no idea what I'm doing, but somehow I fucking created 7 videos that were actually pretty good. Now I have like— Oh, there's a horse coming up behind you. Oh my— Classic. Hello!
Josh: Oh, it's very, very close.
Tommy: Hello, horsey. Hello.
Josh: Oh, he wants a carrot. Hold that. Oh yeah, we're just giving him a carrot now. Yeah, there we go. Carrot for you. Oh wow, we've got a full carrot.
Tommy: The horse just ate a carrot.
Josh: Perfect. I should always carry carrots wherever we go. That was very unusual.
Tommy: First time that we can say that I've fed a horse with a carrot on the Daily Talk Show. This actually—
Josh: the horse seems happy When I was in Europe. He's in New York City, baby. I'm happy. I just, being in Santorini, when we were in Santorini. Yeah. Geez, that was quite distracting, wasn't it?
Tommy: Well, you nearly got your ear bitten off by a horse.
Josh: Well, I think it was coming after the mic. But the funny thing is we've currently got the GoPro set up and you've attached it to your shoe. Yeah. And you held the shoe while filming that. And so, and Bree's taking photos behind the scenes. So she'll have a photo of me holding a shoe at the horse, which is perfect. Caption this on our Reddit. But no, so you managed to get— Bree's just showing me the photo. That's great. Look at that. It looks like— it looks— I mean, it doesn't look too— We look confused and we were confused. But Bree's just showing us the photo. Look at Tommy. Tommy has no idea what's going on. But no, so you You managed to leverage, you just had, what sort of camera did you have?
Tommy: We had an S100.
Josh: Yep, another one, it's like a little Canon.
Tommy: Here's the reality of that camera, it only shot 23 frames per second, so like that 2398. Yeah. So it didn't even shoot the frame rate that we needed. Did that fuck up when you were doing the sound effects? I didn't know what a frame rate was. Somehow it didn't fuck up. Wow. Bizarre, but so that was all we had.
Josh: It's literally a point and shoot, it's smaller than like the G7Xs. Oh yeah, much smaller.
Tommy: Somehow cowboyed the audio. I was holding an iPhone a lot of the time. Yeah. And then I worked out there was a synchronised clips function. So I was like smashing that. That's nice. And it sounded fine. It was actually amazing.
Josh: And so you managed— what I love was you went to— what was it? Petaluma? Or no, it was— Cat's Astelle? No, no, no, no. Wine country.
Tommy: Wine region. Napa Valley. Napa Valley in California. San Fran. Yeah.
Josh: And you managed to just get like a free tour. It was at a time.
Tommy: So I reckon if we tried this now, they'd tell us to get fucked.
Josh: Well, they would straight away ask how many followers we have.
Tommy: Exactly. But 2012 was still this fresh time and I couldn't— I thought the States would be like further ahead with knowing this stuff. But literally we got into nightclubs for free. We got like backstage. When I say backstage, I mean like behind cafes. Yeah. And like, you know, tours of behind us. We're getting— just getting really distracted here. And we called up this wine company and we said, "Hey, we've got an online TV show," which we did.
Josh: How many episodes had you done at that point? 'Cause you were editing them as you went.
Tommy: Maybe 2 or 3. We didn't even send them anything. We just said, "We've got an online TV show. We'd love to do a video and feature your business in there." And so it was manipulation at its best.
Josh: But don't you feel, the problem I have with that is when you rock up with your little point-and-shoot camera. Mate, I had no idea.
Tommy: Do you feel a bit— I had no idea. I thought it was like, these guys are gonna think it's legit.
Josh: Would you feel embarrassed doing it now, do you think, or no? Because I guess you got the content done.
Tommy: I would be more aware of what it looks like, but I would be of the understanding that it's not about the piece of gear that you use, it's about what you do with it.
Josh: So type in suck on that. It's not about the size of it, it's about what you do with it. And suck on that Jules Lund if you type it in on YouTube. You have a YouTube channel that has, one of the videos has over 100,000 views. 200,000. Yeah, fuck. Because some lecturer in uni was like, hey, do you want to make it big.
Tommy: You know, they said, can we use that in our lecture? Yeah. And I don't know what happened, but there was a moment where it just got 80,000 views in a couple of days. Whoa. Oh, geez. Yeah. Yeah.
Josh: What is this? It literally looks like it's a 3-wheel car. There's some real kooky fuckers that come out in New York, isn't it?
Tommy: Dude, there is kooky. Yeah, that's just— that's like—
Josh: there's the highs and the lows. It's the epitome of human nature. Not the musical group, but the, uh, no, just like you've got everything. You've got sort of, um, advertising. You've got, um, you know, people just like that. We just passed someone before who had no clothes on and she was like sensory—
Tommy: a sensory overload. Sorry. Yeah, there was a nude girl with painted breasts. Yes, that was very surprising. It's a sensory overload in that Every one of your senses— sight, smell, taste— smells like shit, smells sweet— is exploited. Yeah, so visually, like, you're seeing advertising, you're seeing the weirdest of things. Yeah, smelling, it's got everything. I just smelt like cotton candy, like popcorn.
Josh: It smells like Disneyland, and then it will smell like shit.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, and then a horse will come behind and fart, and then you're done. But it is just exploitation of senses.
Josh: So Reddit You're on board with Reddit.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, I'm on board. Can I tell you something? Yeah. Amy was listening to our shows in reverse, so she was going like the latest one and then would go back a few and then would go back a few. And what she noticed was you being super on board with Reddit. Yeah. Like, this is it, this is us, whoa, like, gotta get on it. And then like the previous step before that. Yeah. And then the step before that, which was like you weren't that, like, I don't know, I don't know.
Josh: But you can hear a gradual Yeah, you can hear the gradual extremes where it's just like tipping point. And I'm now—
Tommy: every episode, maybe a little bit, oh, I reckon maybe you should try it. Uh, James mentioned it, not sure about Reddit. It's so great, it's so great. So if you're listening to this forward, you've just heard the gradual, um, the gradual sort of development of, of the Reddit, which is great. It's a fucking flow-on effect of this show.
Josh: Yeah, and I think it's a good opportunity to get, um, you know, when we have people like Brad Blanks on the show, if he mentions questions, bits, we can put all that in. It's just a good opportunity to like, he's got all of these clips from his times. Like, he's, I think I'd heard he'd done like since 2006, he'd been recording every single video. Wow.
Tommy: I wonder if he's actually kept them on hard drives or tapes.
Josh: Don't know. We'll have to find out. So New York, we're here for a few days, then we fly to Los Angeles. We've got comedians lined up. Yeah. Filmmakers, authors. We're actually very pumped with some of the guests we have, but we're trying to keep our cool until we have them in the can.
Tommy: Yeah, I think that's the only way we can play it. We're just going to do it, be us. What's on the food list?
Josh: Let's talk food diary.
Tommy: Oh yeah, Shake Shack, In-N-Out Burger, cookies. We're in New York, so— New York, known for cookies. I know there is a lot of cookie places and there's some of the best. Like we've been eyeing off some food porn on Insta. Yeah. And they look— ridiculous. Pretzels here are bullshit. As in bad? I think like the— there's all these little carts that sell food down every second street, and there's like— they have a big like novelty-sized pretzel. Hot pretzels here. Yeah, I don't see many people other than tourists eating the pretzels, but maybe locals do.
Josh: I overdid it with the Shake Shack that we had before. Yeah, getting the shake and the burger and the chips.
Tommy: Yeah, no one needs that.
Josh: It was just too much. All right, is That's classic New York.
Tommy: I'm walking here!
Josh: A lot of horns. You haven't gotten comfortable with the jaywalking yet?
Tommy: No, I don't know the deal.
Josh: Given you are such a cowboy, it really surprises me.
Tommy: Hey, it's only been like a day.
Josh: No, because you are sort of like, you are waiting at the lights as it's red, and I've— okay, me, who's meant to be sort of the more sort of conservative, yeah, less of a cowboy.
Tommy: No, true, but one thing I will say is there's no— one thing I will say is there's no beep. There's no sound so you have to be looking— And half of time I'm not looking at little man whereas sometimes Melbourne I just wait until it goes "bububu" Yeah! Then start walking. So... I am bit freaked?
Josh: Bit triggered?! The thing being that US my diet tends to go wacky. You mean eat shit food because everywhere here? If you think cherry flavoured Sprite. Should we get live Vox Pop!? Absolutely.
Tommy: Excuse me, can I just get your thoughts on what you feel about New York City?
Mason: Um, it's busy and it's great. Are you from here? I'm from Minnesota.
Josh: Oh, amazing. How are the city bikes? Have you ridden far?
Mason: Um, it's okay. It's just a little bit challenging with a lot of people, but it's manageable.
Josh: You're doing an amazing job being in Times Square. Are you staying close by here or are you riding around?
Mason: Riding around.
Josh: Okay, you better go. Have a good one.
Tommy: Good luck. Be safe. Good vox pop, good banter.
Josh: Yeah, great vox pop.
Tommy: So that was, they were on the equivalent It was the equivalent of an O-bike. Yeah.
Josh: Bree was just saying she felt safe because you were here. Is that what you were just saying?
Tommy: She was looking at Bree a lot. Two mateys with microphones.
Josh: Yeah, we seem okay. Well, yeah, thanks.
Tommy: Do we have your permission to use that? Yeah, we got it.
Josh: Yeah, she said yes. We got the a-okay. But no, I feel like fairly normal here in New York City.
Tommy: Yeah. Also, like the people that are here are also tourists within their own country.
Josh: Like, sure, we're in Minnesota. Minnesota.
Tommy: I've met a few people, seen a few few people here heard them talking and they're not from here, but they're just here for the weekend or visiting. I mean, this is one of the coolest places on earth. Yeah, it's, it's so bizarre. I never get over this.
Josh: I mean, not to bring it back to food too much, but this morning was the perfect vibe. Waking up. Yeah. So, you know, 7 in the morning, walking to a diner. Yeah. Having all-you-can-eat coffee. Yeah.
Tommy: But what did you ask her and what did she say?
Josh: I just said 'Can I have some water?' And she said no.
Tommy: I said please, but she was just a classic troll from a New Yorker who works in a diner.
Josh: And she was joking. Yeah, she's— I'd been from Italy, so I thought that that was— she was serious. I couldn't gauge.
Tommy: She had no grasp of being sarcastic and the level at which she committed to full fucking— so sarcastic.
Josh: It was real. It had that vibe.
Tommy: And then someone said to us as we're walking out, 'See you tomorrow.' What? Oh, bipolar.
Josh: That's the city.
Tommy: Yeah, the city is bipolar. Yeah, it is. Ups and downs.
Josh: It's very extreme. Yeah. And so currently right now, I don't even know what time. Do you know what time it is right now?
Tommy: Can I just note, you looked at your watch, you have a watch on to tell the time, but you haven't changed the time?
Josh: No, I haven't. I need to know which button I press.
Tommy: It's 7:54 PM on Sunday.
Josh: So it's Monday here in Australia.
Tommy: We've just made it. Why? Lynn Jansen has started following the Daily Talk Show. Can you believe it's taken that long? I mean, your support, 185 episodes in, is amazing. Thanks.
Josh: Do you think it's maybe because I mentioned her on the last show? I think on Friday's show I had said that she didn't listen. So maybe this is her little tip to say it feels that we're a little bit sleep deprived still. We still have a— still need to catch up on sleep.
Tommy: But we've got a fun trip ahead and I've still got one shoe off and my foot's getting cold.
Josh: Because holding the GoPro. Hi@TheDailyTalkShow is our email address if you want to email us any thoughts, any tips while we're here in the States. Yeah, it's going to go quickly though.
Tommy: It's every trip. Yeah, it's— this already feels like we've been here for a day and a bit. Or the first— actually, no, just over 24 hours. But it feels like I don't want to waste it. So we want to do lots of stuff, but then doing lots of stuff makes you feel like it's going fast. Cause you're so stimulated.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: So yeah, we've got, we're gonna go to Central Park. We're gonna do an episode from there. If you actually want us to do an episode from somewhere in New York, let us know.
Josh: Yeah, let us know sooner rather than later cause it'll be, yeah, yeah, cause we'll be out of here in no time.
Tommy: You'll be funding it if we have to come back to do it.
Josh: And Los Angeles as well. And we'll probably actually in the next few episodes, we'll actually have some things to talk about as well. Oh yeah, oh yeah, shit yeah. We'll be moving around.
