From this episode’s transcript.

  • –Tommy and Josh frequently self-reflect on inherited family traits, linking their own behaviours (short temper, eating habits) back to their parents.
  • –Both hosts admit to being 'unconscious eaters' around sugar and snack foods, especially when house-sitting or surrounded by treats that aren't theirs.
  • –The pair debate household food logistics (big weekly shop vs daily shop, leftovers, portioning food with partners) as a recurring source of domestic friction.
  • –A running bit involves Josh being gently corrected by their younger producer Mr. 97 over plastic bag use, framed as a generational 'woke' moment.
  • –The episode ends with a literal and metaphorical 'soggy croissant' story illustrating minor relationship friction over who gets which piece of food.

Questions this episode answers

What is the 'soggy croissant' story referenced in the episode title?

Josh accidentally sprayed fizzy water on one of two croissants he and his partner Bree were sharing, then gave Bree the bigger croissant without mentioning it was the wet one, making him look inconsiderate when she discovered it was soggy.

What diet did the dog owner in Bondi use for his fluffy white dog's coat?

Tommy met a Bondi dog owner who fed his small fluffy dog a strict dried-meat (jerky) diet six times a day instead of wet or dry food, which he credited for the dog's luxurious, 'billionaire's fur coat' look.

How much do Tommy and Amy spend on groceries doing a big weekly shop?

Tommy says a big weekly shop costs him and Amy about $100 to $150 and covers a full week of food, which he contrasts with Josh and Bree's habit of spending large amounts on single meals like a $70 chilli con carne.

Tommy: The Daily Talk Show.

0:04

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 267.

0:08

Tommy: What's happening?

0:09

Josh: It's Wednesday.

0:10

Tommy: It is hump day.

0:11

Josh: 11 AM, a little bit later than normal.

0:14

Tommy: Yeah, well, we're waiting upon the arrival of a brand spanking new camera, which is so fucking cool. Like, people probably don't give a shit listening, but think about that time you've purchased something, you've been thinking about it for ages, everything's changing.

0:28

Josh: The coin?

0:30

Tommy: It's not the coins, it's something similar feeling. Yeah, I mean, this, it's an energizer. I don't know if like these things are constructed by our minds. And so for instance, get the new camera, we'll do more work.

0:43

Josh: There'll be another problem, I'm sure. I'm sure it'll be the fact that we need new MacBook Pros or something to run the back. Well, that's always the hard thing. I remember when starting my business, Bree was like my stakeholder. So if I wanted to get something big, I'd have to prove my case to her. And so now we do that for each other.

1:05

Tommy: Is the chase to get, is the thought and the sort of research and all of this better than when you actually get the thing? So you want that car and then you get in the car, you're like, I've actually made this car stink, I fart in it that much. I thought it was the best car ever before I got in it.

1:20

Josh: And then the stinky reality sets in.

1:22

Tommy: I'll tell you something pretty funny. Amy even got my brother in on this about my farting behavior, my farting habits or, Just me doing farts. I don't think I have a strict habit about it. Although, Amy's like, "When you fucking get into the car, it's when you fart. Can't you fart outside of the car?" That's true.

1:45

Josh: It's the equivalent of having fish and chips in the car. You know, whenever you get fish and chips in the car the next morning, it's like—

1:51

Tommy: You're a monster. You're a, that's a, actually I'm calling the Gronk Gronk. You're a Gronk too. No, so I will say, 'Cause I did think about why in the car. Mate, hips are aligned, your belly sort of pushes in, you're like, "Got one." I think it's also just, no, it's because it's a secret.

2:11

Josh: I feel like the car is the secret area. I pick my nose. Do you pick your nose much?

2:19

Tommy: Yeah, I pick my nose, but I get that I'm travelling and there's people around. So I'm conscious if I did it, I then sort of have a moment of consciousness where, where I'm like, fuck, someone's around, someone's seeing me do this.

2:29

Josh: Well, I don't have, I rarely have that. And so I would just be going quite fucking disgusting. The other thing too, the bad habit is like biting my nails, peeling them, and then just sort of like opening the car window and just sort of letting them out.

2:45

Tommy: I'm a big fucking advocate for don't be a gronk, don't litter. But that's not— Your nails break down. Like it'd be like spitting on the ground. Spitting on the ground is fucking disgusting. Bad comparison. It's like throwing a banana into a garden. There's a chance it breaks down.

3:01

Josh: Yeah.

3:01

Tommy: And so does that, but spitting's gronk. Move on.

3:04

Josh: The whole banana in the garden reminds me, we're house sitting again. This is the third time for this house and we look after their dog.

3:11

Tommy: Josh isn't a full-time house sitter, if you're just wondering.

3:14

Josh: I am or I'm not?

3:15

Tommy: He's not.

3:16

Josh: I'm not.

3:16

Tommy: But if you have an extended house sitting requirement, I'm sure he can postpone finding a lease for himself and his missus.

3:24

Josh: I got back when, middle of October, and it's been, we still haven't moved into a place and we're looking today at a rental property. But anyway, the looking after the dog, for whatever reason, when I take the dog out, he always finds food and then he ends up fucking, he can't handle it 'cause he's not used to eating the shit that he eats while he's with me. So he fucking ends up doing the, the most revolting shit.

3:49

Tommy: Are you not pulling like his lead? Yeah, you're not disciplining him?

3:53

Josh: When going to the park, I don't have a lead on him, which is probably risqué, but he—

3:59

Tommy: It's actually illegal in some parks?

4:01

Josh: Maybe, but anyway, so there was the first time it was chips and sauce. He ate like, he found like in the garden bed and he was eating it.

4:08

Tommy: Before you go further, solution, lead. He won't go.

4:13

Josh: I know you're— You mean lead, oh, use a lead.

4:14

Tommy: Yeah, a lot of people walk their dogs for miles on a lead without letting them off. So I want him to dance around.

4:19

Josh: I don't want him to move around the park. Anyway, 2 days ago he found mango on the ground and it was just like—

4:30

Tommy: The middle bit?

4:31

Josh: No, the whole, like someone had cut up. Every single time he eats, I'm always like, it's where a lot of dogs are, is someone trying to kill the dog? Is someone trying to put like a reject—

4:41

Tommy: So it's a ready to eat piece of mango or like half chewed on?

4:44

Josh: No, it was like someone had a fruit salad and they didn't like mango and they've just put like 6 bits of mango just around the park. And so Archie, the dog, was just eating all of it. And anyway, the next, like normally he goes out to shit, but he just shit sort of in the front. And it was, Bree was like, she said she had to hose it 'cause she wakes up before me. She actually had to hose the whole patio down. It was that bad. 'Cause you couldn't just pick it up.

5:11

Tommy: My brother's very much like, what did you feed him? His dog, what did you feed her? It's a girl dog.

5:18

Josh: I could have a dog.

5:19

Tommy: But he's very specific, but it's a bitch. It's the real definition of a bitch, okay? But he's very particular 'cause he knows this happens. I think you're not a dog owner, you've got part-time dog responsibilities and you're fucking them up.

5:37

Josh: The one thing that I would have a dog if I could just feed it dry food. Yeah. The wet food is where it's fucking disgusting.

5:44

Tommy: There's heaps of people that feed dogs dry food only. I don't need to. I met a guy in Bondi who had the best looking fucking, it was like a, you know those, they're a Chinese or a Japanese dog that are fluffy. They're like white, they look like a little bear.

6:00

Josh: Oh yeah.

6:00

Tommy: Had one of those and we got in this conversation. He's like, I'm like, oh, what do you feed it? It's like classic, what's the engine in your car? What do you feed it? And he's like, oh, so I got it on this, no, what was it? Yeah, turkey, what's the dried meat? What's the, you know, you love it, biltong, like salamis? No, dried meat. That's like a—

6:22

Josh: oh, you mean— oh, don't tell me. No, don't say it.

6:24

Tommy: No one— fuck, why can't I say the thing I was thinking about?

6:27

Josh: Because you took that away from me. I was, I was trying to dig deep and work out what it was. It was a game, by the way. Tom Petrovsky is the finance guy that we're trying to think of, by the way. Wayne Peters, thanks for your email. Also, Mum texted me. Yeah, we called her and tried to find out what it was, and she texted instead of just said Tom Petrovsky.

6:46

Tommy: So this guy had this dog on a strict jerky diet, dried meat 6 times a day, little pieces. And he said, I used to feed it like wet food and dry food. This thing's coat, 'cause I, yeah, that's right. I was like, this thing's coat was, it looked like a billionaire's fur coat.

7:09

Josh: I didn't know where you were going there.

7:10

Tommy: It looked like a billionaire's fur coat that had been manicured like, You know, all of that, like so prestige. And I was rubbing this thing just like, this is amazing.

7:21

Josh: When is it okay to own a fur coat?

7:24

Tommy: Depends who you are. If you're you, never. If you're me, I'm probably pretty inappropriate and thoughtless in that stuff. Maybe I might.

7:32

Josh: Well, we bought a bunch of, talking about inappropriate and thoughtless, we were getting some SD cards yesterday for our new camera. And Mr. 97 came in with me to Scorp Tech, which is a, Great little, uh, camera shop. Oh, sorry, a computer shop.

7:47

Tommy: Great prices.

7:48

Josh: Not just at the beginning. Not a sponsor. Another thing that I actually wanted to bring up today that not a sponsor, but I thought I could give recommendations for things that I love.

7:57

Tommy: Sure. I mean, we do that anyway.

7:58

Josh: Microfiber cloths. Is that what you'd call this? Yeah. They come in a 4-pack. I got these from Chemist Warehouse. I haven't found anything that does a better job of cleaning my glasses.

8:11

Tommy: Not my Not a problem I've ever had to deal with.

8:13

Josh: Coles and Woolies have them too. Microfiber cloths, get them today. But the—

8:18

Tommy: Scorp-Tex, they're in there. Mr. 97.

8:21

Josh: I got 8 SD cards. I said, can I just have a bag? And Mr. 97 in his teenage voice was like, oh, why do you need a plastic bag?

8:30

Tommy: Yeah.

8:31

Josh: And I was like, ah.

8:32

Tommy: Is that how you said it, Mr. 97? Nah, that's how he said it. That's how he said it.

8:35

Josh: 'Cause the thing is the voice is in your ears. So you can't tell what you sound like, but that's what you sound like. And so he had a good point and it just reminded me of, it gave me perspective of like, you know, when your parents say something a bit racist or they say something that's just a bit off. I was like, this is my moment. Mr. 97 is the young person schooling me on, that's not how we do it now, son.

8:58

Tommy: Yeah, I agree. And I do the same thing. The plastic bag thing at the supermarket is actually working for me.

9:05

Josh: Well, we're having to carry so much shit home. Yeah. I've never, have you actually ever brought a plastic bag, like a bag.

9:12

Tommy: Now, based on how many times I fucking carry it home with a baby, the thing's full, like the pram. It's like, fuck this, bring a bag. And so, I mean, actually, no, I took one plastic bag down. A heap of people have like taken— in Australia, the supermarket's enforced, you need to pay for plastic bags.

9:30

Josh: A good policy.

9:32

Tommy: Yeah, across a year, you're probably paying a fuckload if you're getting the amount of bags. The thing is that you can use them a couple of times.

9:38

Josh: No, it's like if you get one a day and it's 10 cents a day, you're only spending spending $30 a year.

9:43

Tommy: One a day? You haven't done a family shop? Like we've been doing shops. This is interesting. Like I remember mom and dad and you probably did as a kid, the big shop on a Sunday.

9:54

Josh: So we weren't a big shop family. Mom was, when I was younger, like she took a big time off of, like she was always like part-time working or whatever. So she had a bit of time. So the thing was always going to Endeavour Hills shopping center.

10:07

Tommy: Okay, so it was like a—

10:08

Josh: And every single day. So that's how we'd get new baked goods goods. That's how I could go through 6 fucking doughnuts a day, was because Mum kept fucking renewing the— if we had a big shop, like, I've never had to like think, okay, the chocolates need to last me for a week.

10:23

Tommy: I never thought about it like this. There is some level of responsibility for your own life doing the big shop on a Sunday.

10:29

Josh: It takes something a bit doomsday preppy about it.

10:32

Tommy: No, I actually just think it's smart. We've been saving shitloads of money, but we do it by thinking ahead, not eating out, not like— we've literally not eaten out every weekday. Weekends and different, but we prep meals and freeze meals and have it all good for the week. So we know it is one of those things. And I know why it happens. And I never even thought about this. Mum did it. When you have a fucking kid, it is horrible to be scrambling. Like it's anxiety producing, like, fuck, we don't know what to eat. We gotta go to the shop. When you're solo with no baby, it's like, ah, we'll just fuck it. We can go out until 9.

11:09

Josh: But my lunch, not yesterday, the day before, was it? Yeah, on Monday was literally like my lunchtime, my 45 minutes, my hour was actually spent walking around Coles, the shopping, like one of the supermarkets here, panicked about what to buy. And just, it's a real insight, I ended up with a punnet of strawberries, a block of cheese, and some salami because I couldn't find the— I was on the phone to my friend, said, where do they keep the gherkins?

11:36

Tommy: Yeah, that's the Where do they keep the gherkins? Gherkins are in the aisle. They're not refrigerated. Were you thinking they were refrigerated? No. They were in the aisle at the canned vegetable section.

11:44

Josh: Yeah.

11:44

Tommy: Probably near the black beans and the corn, potentially near the tomato sauce.

11:48

Josh: That's what he said. He said it's probably near the tomato, like the canned tomatoes. Yeah.

11:51

Tommy: And so we've been going to the same supermarket, but when you do those bigger shops, there's a lot of shit that you, like you got $150 worth of goods.

11:58

Josh: Is that how much you're spending in a—

11:59

Tommy: Yeah, $100 to $150 gets us through a full week of food. That's pretty fucking good, right?

12:04

Josh: This is the problem. Bree and I feel like— What's that, 2 nights of Uber?

12:08

Tommy: Yeah.

12:08

Josh: Well, the problem is that we once decided that we were going to cook something. We did a chilli con carne. Yeah. Got the ingredients. We spent $70 on this one night of chilli con carne and actually made enough chilli con carne for like fucking 8 people.

12:25

Tommy: Yeah. It's what you do though.

12:26

Josh: So at the time I wasn't doing leftovers.

12:29

Tommy: I've met a few people like you, the non-leftover people. One of my brother's best mates, Andy, like I used to PT him and would talk about food and all this stuff.

12:39

Josh: Was he Andy overweight?

12:40

Tommy: No, no, no, he wasn't overweight, but he was wanting to get ripped or get strong. And one of his things was talking about food. What do you cook at night?

12:51

Josh: What does he cook?

12:52

Tommy: He cooks things, whatever, random stuff, meat, veg, but he's like, I will not do leftovers. I was like—

13:00

Josh: There's something disgusting about it. I'm sure there's been time.

13:03

Tommy: So leftovers, what define leftovers? Because Is leftovers slop from a plate where you've just had a bunch of stuff and then you put it onto the thing? I don't like that. The thing is, probably tastes all right.

13:12

Josh: The thing is, and this is why I need to get over, but I remember as a kid thinking that certain things tasted like the fridge.

13:21

Tommy: Yeah, I know.

13:21

Josh: It's not like even a category of food, but there's something in the fucking fridge that's getting onto everything.

13:27

Tommy: It's also how you're packaging them. Like if you just whack a bit of Glad Wrap over the top, chances are it'll have a bit of that. There's a few things. Broccoli. Broccoli, you cannot fucking— like for me, that makes me sick. I don't like, but I'll eat it, but it's fucking disgusting the next day.

13:43

Josh: What was that? Broccoli?

13:43

Tommy: Broccoli.

13:44

Josh: Well, see, I'm a hypocrite.

13:45

Tommy: Steamed broccoli.

13:45

Josh: I'm a hypocrite because I'll have pavlova. I'll have any dessert. Any dessert feels like the sweetness is gonna cut through. Yeah.

13:54

Tommy: I mean, sugar things last longer than say a piece of meat.

13:58

Josh: And sugar in general, Bree's been pointing out like how much I'm just an addict when it comes to sugar, because she's like, you don't even, so we asked, you know, the other day we were talking about with this house sitting, Bree sent a message and asked if we could have some of the chocolate.

14:15

Tommy: You actually sent the message?

14:17

Josh: Bree messaged, yes.

14:18

Tommy: Well, you bullied her into it.

14:19

Josh: Well, the thing is she didn't ask about the orange chocolate. I bullied her into it. She only asked about, there was some equivalent of like favourites or celebrations type of thing, a box.

14:28

Tommy: Eat it, replace it.

14:29

Josh: Well, that's the thing, but the amount of shit that we're staying have to replace, we're having to do a big fucking shop. And so, but I did panic because this girl who was staying at these people's house, she was saying that she needed to pop in to grab some stuff she left. And it turns out that it was food. And I was on the couch and she's like, oh no, I'm actually, Bree's like, oh, did you leave your bag upstairs? She goes, no, I'm just getting some food. Food from the fridge that I left. And I was like, uh-oh, because I didn't only eat the chocolate, but I was sort of just whatever was sort of there. There was some Ferrero Shares in like a little bowl, only 3. I can't have the stuff. But the thing is that Bree's criticism is that I just eat, and before I've even finished that one, I'm like onto the next one.

15:14

Tommy: It's unconscious eating, I know, but it's spiral. I do the same. I cannot have anything in the house.

15:19

Josh: These people had a whole, not like a fun-size M&M, an M&M bag, like a normal big size M&M thing, just unopened. I, I had it as a snack last night.

15:29

Tommy: Yeah, see, I don't know how people keep stuff in their house, but this is cutting it off at the head. You're in someone's house, you're obviously going to eat it.

15:37

Josh: And even if I get a healthy alternative, you're a junkie. Because what I did is I went and got those Keep It Cleaner balls.

15:43

Tommy: Probably no better.

15:45

Josh: Thing is, I ate 3 of them and then I was like You know what? There's only Skittles left and then we're completely out of shit in the house.

15:52

Tommy: There's something about healthy food that people think they can eat lots of. You know, like you make a protein slice and you eat fucking the whole tray.

16:00

Josh: You think when we're outside— What's like when we're outside Mr. 97's house and we had the chocolate and peanut butter thing.

16:06

Tommy: Yeah, we're going deep. We're going deep into the psychology. I'm looking for, like, I think you can tell a lot by someone's fridge about the type of person they are.

16:14

Josh: You can learn a lot about how I was brought up and why I am In every regard based on mum and dad's preach.

16:21

Tommy: Doesn't have to be who you are.

16:24

Josh: But you know, I've realized—

16:24

Tommy: Do you get that though?

16:25

Josh: But the thing is, the more I get older, the more I realise that I'm similar to my dad. Yeah.

16:29

Tommy: Like, is that, are you happy about that or you're not happy about that?

16:33

Josh: It's confronting. 'Cause it's like, I went, like we went over to their place after we checked out this property and it was directly with the potential landlords. And the guy was a, Federal Police agent.

16:46

Tommy: He's a fed. Yeah, he doesn't have the same cut-through as American feds, but he's a fed. I actually don't know what the fucking feds do.

16:54

Josh: And Bree said that he had like big arms, like he definitely works out and shit.

16:57

Tommy: Probably stop pervin' on the landlord.

16:59

Josh: The guy was like over 50.

17:01

Tommy: Do you want to give him a quick little kiss?

17:03

Josh: We haven't spoken about that. No, I know, that's why I say it. Well, now you've opened the can of worms, mate. Well, this is the Shreddophile thing, we don't have to go there.

17:10

Tommy: But now you need to explain. You don't need to explain. No, we can leave some things open and close the loop later.

17:16

Josh: No, we were catching up with someone the other day and he had such a calm presence. Yeah. That I just had this moment where I was like, I just wanna just on the lips, just real like, you know, when someone talks real like sort of softly and they're just really nice.

17:28

Tommy: You ever kissed a bloke on the lips?

17:29

Josh: No.

17:30

Tommy: Okay.

17:31

Josh: No, no, I haven't. Have you? I feel like you've definitely tongued.

17:35

Tommy: Never tongued. I've got no problem kissing on the lips.

17:37

Josh: What was it for? Was it for?

17:38

Tommy: I don't wanna kiss you on the lips at all. I don't know.

17:40

Josh: Is it because of my sweaty brow? But anyway. The point is— A lot of things. The thing is, it was when we went to mum and dad's and we were telling them about the place, dad's like, "Oh, he's definitely looked you up." And he created this whole storey about, he's like, "Nah, he definitely, I know the type. He would've looked you guys up and knew everything about you." I was like, "This is where I get this storey making shit up from." He created this whole story. Richie, thank you.

18:06

Tommy: It's been a lot of entertainment over the years for me.

18:09

Josh: But I'm constantly, Yeah, it's a concept. What is it?

18:13

Tommy: Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, you're a chip off the old block. Well, I'm the same with my old man.

18:17

Josh: Richie's got a toe thumb, I've got a toe thumb. What are the similarities with your, what have you taken from your parents?

18:23

Tommy: What are some of my, I think my dad is, he can just get a bit, like, bit, maybe a bit angry.

18:32

Josh: He doesn't seem like an angry guy.

18:34

Tommy: He's definitely like, he's a dude who does yoga every morning and trains and sort of like, very, you know, very fucking spiritual and connected. But there is a bit of a trait, I think, within him, a bit like a short fuse or like he's, "Fuck it, fuck it." One of his best things is, "Bugger it, bugger it, bugger it." You call it— Bugger it. Which I get that. I think I'm like a bit fucking hot.

18:57

Josh: I think my dad is like, my dad's the same way.

19:00

Tommy: But I definitely—

19:00

Josh: Anytime he's lifting something, it doesn't matter if it's like fucking like a kilo, It's like, what the fuck is—

19:06

Tommy: That is you too.

19:07

Josh: But he's just always like breathing heavy with that shit.

19:10

Tommy: So I get a bit of that. Maybe it's aggression, maybe it's like just this hotness about it. Not hot heat, it's like just fucking hotheaded, bit short. Yeah, which I get from him. But, and I see how it's happening with Bodhi. Like I watch videos back of Bodhi reacting or when he's talking to me and I'm seeing myself, like, you know how I'm like, I fucking, it's like over-exaggerated, but I legit mean it, feels good. I think that's why I do it. But just like pissing myself at something or just like, and I see he's doing the exact same thing. I just, I guess—

19:43

Josh: What were their eating habits like? Oh. They're healthy, right?

19:47

Tommy: Yeah, super healthy. Like, I got the backend of a real sort of health-conscious mother.

19:54

Josh: What does that mean?

19:55

Tommy: 3 kids. In the start of the '80s to, you know, me born in '88. You're the youngest. By the time, you know, within the '90s, mum sort of probably come— I think you go into your first child with sort of thoughts around what you'll do. She, for instance, at my brother's birthday had carob cake, which is basically— So she was already leaning out? It's a monster's cake. It's like—

20:21

Josh: It's a troll cake.

20:22

Tommy: It's a troll cake. It's, guys, look at this well-presented cake. Eat it, tastes like shit. There's fucking no sugar in it. And so my brother uses it as a bit of fucking ammo sometimes. Yeah, bloody, the way you brought me up.

20:36

Josh: Wait, so he was, oh, so you got the back end in a good way?

20:38

Tommy: In a good way. I got the laid back, like.

20:41

Josh: Oh, good.

20:42

Tommy: But still I've talked about getting croissants in the morning and doughnuts and shit like that a lot. But there was always a nice meal at night. That had vegetables and what we thought was chicken. We just thought everything was chicken when we were growing up. Oh, that's chicken, yeah.

20:57

Josh: What was it?

20:58

Tommy: Could have been fish, could have been meat, could have like a steak. We just thought it was chicken. We were convinced everything was chicken. We did eat a lot of schnitzels and rissoles as kids.

21:09

Josh: Some of the biggest fights I had with my mum was the thickness of the schnitzel because I was just like, I ended up getting very hands-on with the schnitzel. Because I was just like—

21:19

Tommy: You micromanaged a schnitzeling and then you took over.

21:23

Josh: But it was just too— like, the thing is, if it's thinner—

21:28

Tommy: If you got varying heights on a schnitzel, it's annoying.

21:31

Josh: But also I remember I cut in once and there was like a vein. That's chicken. And ever since then, no, but I'm like, if we cut it thin enough, I'm only eating schnitzel for the crumb, aren't we? So the more crumbs we have, the thinner it is.

21:43

Tommy: It depends. So I think there's good, I think—

21:47

Josh: What does that mean?

21:48

Tommy: Depends. You could be eating chicken for the protein, which is why I eat as much chicken. Why?

21:52

Josh: I just eat fucking chicken.

21:53

Tommy: Yeah, but sometimes you need just that sort of—

21:55

Josh: Did you ever do like the coconut crumb, like the fake?

21:58

Tommy: Nah, nah, I've always done panko, panko crumb, or just a normal breadcrumb, a rye crumb, some nice ones.

22:05

Josh: The big arguments Bree and I have is around plating up food. God, the big arguments.

22:12

Tommy: It's actually pretty good. If the big arguments were, I don't know if we can stay together, I'd be concerned. It's an interesting, me being concerned about that.

22:23

Josh: Well, I wanna introduce a blind, like a sort of a blind plate preparation. 'Cause what I find Bree does is she says, I'm giving you the bigger one, right? That's how she frames it.

22:34

Tommy: Sure, you're 90 kilos and 6 foot 2.

22:37

Josh: But what she does is she'll say, she'll say, Okay, this is your plate and this is my plate. And sure, she might pile more shit on, but the high qual stuff, so the—

22:48

Tommy: She gets that.

22:49

Josh: Say if we're having chippies, the chippies that she was having would be the crisp ones and I have the fat ones. And I just started to realize, I'm like, you know what, I'd prefer, let's not talk about whose plate's whose. Let's just pile them all up and then we just take them. 'Cause we had an incident the other day where we got some croissants from a place.

23:07

Tommy: Are you both stubborn? Like, are you both wanting what you want? 'Cause sometimes there has to be give and take. Like, I like Amy having the good bits.

23:15

Josh: Yeah, well, so I don't mind the chippy thing. But I take it back anyway. But I think that Bree gets annoyed because she's trying to do, she is communicating that I'm doing this for you, I'm giving you more. I'm like, so one example was she said, she got me a piece of banana bread and she said, I gave you a big bit. The thing was she gave herself the end. I was like, "Oh, you got the end?" She goes, "Yeah, I like the end." So I was like, "Okay, if you really loved me, if you really loved me, you'd give me a big bit at the end." Fucking hell.

23:50

Tommy: If you're single and complaining at the moment about not being in a relationship, this is what you can fucking look forward to.

23:57

Josh: But so my thing was—

23:58

Tommy: Banana bread bloody debates.

24:00

Josh: The thing is I didn't actually need The biggest bit or the end?

24:04

Tommy: What if you approached it like, Bree actually got the bit that she wanted and that is the best bit about this. I don't give a fuck what I got.

24:10

Josh: That's exactly how I felt. But the problem that I had with it is it's like—

24:14

Tommy: She sold it in as—

24:15

Josh: Don't sell it in like you're doing me any favors. You got the bit you wanted, I got that bit I wanted.

24:20

Tommy: I'm not a counselor, but just drop that bit. Just fucking be grateful and just say, thanks.

24:26

Josh: Yeah, thanks.

24:27

Tommy: I guess I could.

24:29

Josh: 'Cause I ended up having another slice anyway. But I literally, I thought, because we did have an incident where we got this croissant and we, whatever the fuck, however the fuck you say croissant. I'm gonna say croissant. I say paella, not paella, but I'm gonna say croissant.

24:42

Tommy: And how you say bloody—

24:44

Josh: Souvlaki?

24:45

Tommy: No, there's another one.

24:47

Josh: Kebab?

24:48

Tommy: No, there's this other one that you say. It's really interesting.

24:51

Josh: What sort of cuisine?

24:52

Tommy: I think it's Greek. I think it's—

24:55

Josh: Oh, do you mean Persian?

24:57

Tommy: No.

24:57

Josh: Pashkembadumjun?

24:58

Tommy: No, no.

24:58

Josh: Kubideh?

24:59

Tommy: No, no, it's like, it's Lebanese or Greek. Something, it's interesting. Anyway, go on.

25:06

Josh: What could it be?

25:07

Tommy: Fuck, it's interesting. I mean, I've stunted the conversation. But you get your croissant. I know you pull the end bit.

25:12

Josh: Oh yeah, no, no, no.

25:13

Tommy: And it rips out the inside.

25:14

Josh: That wasn't the problem. Bree said, "You open the fizzy water 'cause I get it everywhere." She gets it everywhere. So she asked me to get the fizzy water, right? So again, it's a new fizzy water. I open it and my tactic is quick open, quick close. And I didn't fucking get it in time. And so it sprayed everywhere.

25:30

Tommy: You're micromanaging everything.

25:32

Josh: No, no, no, but Bree asked me to do it, so that was all good. So that was fine. The problem was it went everywhere and some went on the croissant and I didn't realise that one croissant got more wet than the other. I didn't fucking know. And the thing was we had one small croissant and one big croissant. And I was like, you know what? Because that happened, I'm gonna give Bree the big croissant. I don't say it, I just do it. Turns out the big croissant was the soggy croissant. That was the more wet one. So I look like the fucking asshole. Yeah, you do. So I eat the croissant and Bree's gone upstairs. She cracked it. Is there a bigger picture here? Well, the bigger picture, the bigger picture was we had 2 croissants. So we, when we had the second one— No, I'm saying beyond the croissant. When we had the second one, it was all good. So a lot of shit's going on. Anyway, we've got some emails.

26:14

Tommy: Oh, we got a comment on our YouTube. So if you're watching this, hello. But we've got Chad, he's written through on yesterday's episode 266.
