Risky Rumours

Tommy: The Daily Talk Show.

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 303.

Tommy: I'm feeling good, half from the chocolate, uh, the other half from bumping into a friend that I haven't seen in many, many years.

Josh: Oliver?

Tommy: Yeah, Oliver Stenning, absolute fucking legend.

Josh: You're okay to do last names?

Tommy: Yeah, whatever, he's my homeboy. Okay, I won't tell you Conspiracy Jimmy's last name, can't, because, uh, he'll crack it. Yeah, it adds to the mystique. No, but it was nice. This is someone who I, um, think about, you know, every month at least once. Like, you know, the people who you grew up with where you just— there's something in your life, a memory, a place that will trigger a thought or a memory of that person because you spent some time doing that. And so Oliver is one of those people that I grew up with. We had a little clique, the Gardie— the Gardie Boys.

Josh: What does that mean?

Tommy: We grew up in Garden Vale.

Josh: And so what happened when your suburb or ended up going to Brighton?

Tommy: Yeah, we, um, our parents, um, got the money and we still called it Gardie Boys even though you've— well, the Gardenvale was a train station, okay, that we lived close by.

Josh: And you hung at the train station?

Tommy: Yeah, we used to hang out along the train line, train stations. Then we sort of upgraded to cars and then we were hanging in cars, parties. But I was just showing Oliver some photos from, uh, back in the day that I've uploaded to Google Photos. And he shivered as soon as I mentioned that I've got photos from back in the day, because he's like, I thought they just fucking disappeared. Which is fair, because like back— if you're not— I think you and I are probably like, you're extreme, I'm sort of halfway there, of the dudes who actually— like, I'm— I feel like I'm dumb when it comes to, um, storage and things like that, but I've somehow kept all these hard drives and shit from old cameras and kept it. Whereas the thing I didn't do, which I've taken the leaf out of your book, was actually storing them so I can keep them forever on an account. Yeah, so I've done that. And so I was just showing some photos and we'll just— oh, those times.

Josh: Oliver seemed like a cool guy, legend. He lives in Berlin.

Tommy: Yeah, so if we got a Berlin contact, if we're going over there, guten Tag to our German audience. Yeah, or hey mate, how are you, to Oliver.

Josh: Wie geht's dir? Yeah, uh, but what I thought was interesting is I feel like friends who move overseas have a certain vibe. Yeah, you see his t-shirt that he was wearing?

Tommy: Oh, it's Patagonia. Yeah, that's, uh, don't you think it's—

Josh: there's something about like Patagonia was started by an American bloke.

Tommy: Great storey to that though. But yeah, no, I actually just saw him walking off and I was like, Patagonia.

Josh: He's got like the shaved head. Did he always have a shaved head?

Tommy: No, he had long hair.

Josh: Shaved head, the Patagonia thing. There's something about like, oh, this guy's He's from overseas.

Tommy: Yeah, you know, I didn't think he would be a friend that would move overseas.

Josh: Really?

Tommy: Like, I think it's a big thing to— like, my cousin moved overseas, never came back.

Josh: Could he speak German?

Tommy: Uh, who?

Josh: Ollie?

Tommy: No, he said his girlfriend, she, um, grew up in the UK, and he just mentioned— I don't say— I'm saying it like I know it, he just told me she grew up in Europe, and he— and she's teaching Oliver German.

Josh: So that's cool. Because there was a—

Mason: the—

Josh: I feel like there's a few questions that constantly get asked when you've got an international friend. Yeah, but you're very quick to say, is your girlfriend— is she, um, European? European?

Tommy: I didn't slurp my lips.

Josh: You do a little bit like that. Is she European?

Tommy: I said, is she European? If you move to Berlin and you end up with an Australian, fucking, how useless is that?

Josh: What's the—

Tommy: move to Berlin and marry some exotic woman.

Josh: But Australians, like, there's people watching us who are like, these Aussie guys are very exotic.

Tommy: Yeah, true. I mean, I went to Bali and came back with, with, with a Balinese woman. No, not a Balinese woman, an Australian woman from Sydney, my now wife. Yeah, and my forever wife.

Josh: But she, she, forever wife, my now wife.

Tommy: That's why I said forever wife. That's my now wife, like there's going to be another wife.

Josh: Talking about forever wife, we haven't gotten an update from Mr. 97 in a while. 97, yeah, he's looking for his forever You have a wife? What's happening? Give us a date update.

Mason: Yeah, there might be something happening Friday.

Tommy: Okay, that's sick. Do you need time? Do you need to ask the boys to let you out early?

Mason: Nah, I think we should be fine.

Tommy: Okay, good. Look, we're supportive. We can give you an Uber charge.

Josh: Can we? I guess we could.

Tommy: I'll get you an Uber if you need.

Josh: What's the actual—

Tommy: not an XS, mate, not a fucking black, standard. You get Uber Pool.

Josh: Absolutely, Uber Pool. Um, so what was— what's the conversation been that's made you think that you're going on a date? Because you thought that on Sunday you were going to go on a date and it didn't happen a few weeks ago. Yeah, oh, we don't forget. Yeah, what's changed?

Mason: No, nothing, it was just it just didn't work in terms of timings. Yeah. And availabilities.

Tommy: Yeah, I said front-foot it and just lock— like, here's the time, here's what's happening. Well, the friend, like, be the leader. Yeah, lead the arrangement.

Josh: Well, she actually invited you to her— she was going to see her friend do something or whatever, some sort of sporting activity.

Tommy: Um, and fuck it, do you want to give every detail? Like, you gotta— you can't.

Josh: Did you see me filtering? But I did a really bad job.

Tommy: Horrible job.

Mason: She invited invited you somewhere.

Josh: It was a sporting activity. It was her friend's athletics. And so the question—

Tommy: the question— you got— you can, you can have faith in me that I don't really think it's—

Josh: I don't know if these are secrets. These aren't secrets. But anyway, she invited you to that. Um, you, you thought that—

Mason: you could— look, it was— that was a bit of a joke.

Josh: Okay, yeah, that's what you said, but I thought, no, I would have taken up on the offer to go watch the friend, but It's fine. So what's the plans on Friday?

Tommy: No, we don't need to know. I think Friday is enough for me to— it's tomorrow. It's fucking Thursday today. Geez, this week's flown. But tomorrow, I hope it happens, and then Monday we can have a nice chat. But yeah, that's it, mate. Well done.

Josh: Well done.

Tommy: I was worried. I was really worried that this— that we'd, you know, we Shameless had put in a lot of effort and nothing was coming from the fruit that had ripened.

Josh: Oh well, you've got Mr. 97's back, whatever. We also got an email too from someone, from Alex in the UK. Yeah. And what Alex said was that he's asked for some stickers. Absolutely, Alex, bloody oath, you're getting the stickers.

Tommy: Yes.

Josh: But what he said, he sent a really nice email and then he said, P.S. Josh has some strange boundary issues. Did he genuinely think it was a good idea to start Mr. 97's dating interactions with the disclaimer. The thought made me cringe hard.

Tommy: Yeah, and that was exactly the boundary why I put, I put it out there.

Josh: So the boundary issue, the thing I'm not sure on is he's saying you were wanting to template an initial response to anyone that contacted Mr.

Tommy: 97. Do you not see the flaws in that?

Josh: But is he saying that is the boundary issue in that don't be silly, you don't need to ask? Or is the boundary—

Tommy: I wish you could see Mr. 97. He gives some of the best facial reactions to things, a lot of time out of proportion, but that was amazing. That was amazing. What were you thinking, mate?

Josh: No, what we do from a boundary point of view, why— what's— where's the crossing the line there? Is that because we're asking, or the idea that you don't need to ask them, be cool about it?

Tommy: Yeah, I interpreted that email as that's an outrageous thing to ever say to somebody from the initial get-go. It changes the tone. What it was was like a templated, hey, this is what you're basically signing up for.

Josh: No, no, no, no, no, that sounds right.

Tommy: No, that sounds wrong.

Josh: What was it? The way that we— so, Mr. So, if you're listening for the first time, Mr. 97, he works with us here on the show. He's the producer. And he basically had let slip that he hadn't been on a date before.

Tommy: Ever.

Josh: Ever.

Tommy: In his 19 years.

Josh: He's 19 years old. And so we helped a brother out and we hooked some things up, and before you know it, he's got 155 followers as of recording, and many of them are willing participants in dates. And the criticism that that I received often on the air was that, uh, there wasn't clarity on the fact that Mr. 97— Mr. 97's life is very much revolves around what we do on the podcast. Yeah, yeah. And so I thought that, uh, to, to make it very clear that the dating stuff, whilst it is a really nice thing for Mr. 97, I'm really happy and hope that he finds someone. ABC, always be contenting.

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, that is the filter we have. And what we've worked out based on another dating interaction you had is that not everyone appreciates the ABC methods that we do. And Mr. 97 has his sensibility cap on, and he respects the people that he's speaking with. And so how could you not show more respect than being so upfront and saying, hey, I think more respect is actually just going, letting him go on dates and him telling us and us dropping the details.

Josh: But how do I know what the fucking athletics carnival or whatever it is? It's not a carnival.

Tommy: That sounds like he's going to a high school.

Josh: Yeah, thanks. A little athletics.

Tommy: But yeah, I think it's just— no, I like it. You're no filter. No, so I don't know.

Josh: I mean, fine, but this has been— this is my issue. I'm sorry, 97. I can see that you're slightly—

Tommy: no, I just want it to work for him because I think we'll be able to— like, imagine if he finds a, you know, the perfect person, but part of it, and she's on the show. Yeah, with Mr. 97. They actually host The Weekend. A recap of the Daily Talk Show.

Josh: I mean, that's my dream. But, but don't you think there is something in like, let's, uh, let's be sort of loose about it all? And so it's that whole thing, if you can't accept me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best. And so if we're his worst—

Tommy: I don't want to be his worst. You might be his worst. Don't bring me down on the worst train.

Josh: Okay, so not to bring any other details, anything else happening in the in that sort of field?

Tommy: Um, okay, we, we got an email from Emily in Sweden. She's been listening to the podcast since mid-February.

Josh: Is that right? Is that how you pronounce— that's a real— that's really good.

Tommy: Emily. What do you mean? What are you saying pronounce? That's what—

Josh: no, Emily. No, that's great. Like, I've never seen Emily spelled like that before.

Tommy: Yeah, E-M-E-L-I-E. Yeah, Emily from Swedes. Yeah, it's currently 108 episodes in. I mainly listen to the podcast when I'm studying and walking to the university and gym. Would be nice to represent the Daily Talk Show with some stickers here in Sweden.

Josh: Emily, you got stickers, you're getting stickers.

Tommy: Sick. Um, can we get—

Josh: the thing that I'm starting to worry about is we're getting, we're getting a lot of emails. I don't know, international.

Tommy: Is that what you're worried about?

Josh: No, I'm worried about— we got an email from Sarah as well. Yeah, Sarah's in Vancouver.

Tommy: Shout out to Sarah.

Josh: Thank you, Sarah. She thought that Cadbury Creme Eggs was a Canadian thing.

Tommy: Yeah, well, now they're a Canadian-Australian thing. Maybe they're just part of the Commonwealth.

Josh: Yeah, they're Commonwealth thing.

Tommy: And then we also got an email from Helen. Yeah, from a suburb that I've never heard of, Sylvan.

Josh: Yeah, are we giving details?

Tommy: What, you're gonna find—

Josh: wait, so I get in trouble?

Tommy: What, Helen?

Josh: Helen from— we've taken shows, we've had to beep shows for saying fucking suburb.

Tommy: Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

Josh: If you've never heard of it, how do we know how big the street is? How do we know how big the suburb is.

Tommy: I have a gauge of the suburb.

Josh: You've never heard of it?

Tommy: It's very— it's hard to find a singular name. You can find Tommy Jacket. We've done this experiment, it's fucked. You can find my fucking address. I've got to sort that out. Yeah, yeah, it's fucked.

Josh: But I can't say—

Tommy: I don't— you need full name, you need location, you need like a few clues. That's not one.

Josh: So I say a whole area of a sport.

Tommy: No, no, no, no, you talk about someone who is investing in Mr. 97. And his heart. Investing. Investing in his heart. Like, there is— it's not— it's like, that's pretty specific. Think about Mr. Noni. I could find this person that you guys are talking about. I could find the bloody carnival that you're going to, the primary school you're hanging out.

Mason: How?

Tommy: Nah, I'm just saying, I could— you're giving more details than I'm giving.

Josh: But how could you ever— like, you actually could— you couldn't— you couldn't based on that. Anyway, I'm pushing back on the thing that—

Tommy: no, you're pushing back on getting in trouble for No giving too much, uh, details. That could— what happened last time, bro? Do we need to go there? Like the last whole incident and you doubled down and fucking screenshot and posted.

Josh: What did I screenshot?

Tommy: You, you screenshot the conversation or something. What do you mean with you bury the lead?

Josh: What was the— but this is what I think sometimes you say, bro, do you really want to go there? And it frames up this thing like there's something really bad.

Tommy: No, they— what we ask Mr.

Josh: 97, that's like what we think of it is What did we decide?

Tommy: He went mute. That's why we haven't heard from him.

Josh: I think we're being very good in leaving it. And the fucked up thing is we've brought up the dating thing and it's turned into a blow-up. But I think it's cool. The thing is that you control the snippets. I think the concern last time—

Mason: No, he doesn't.

Josh: You control that one.

Tommy: You control the Instagram story.

Josh: The funny thing was that was such a— like, so you were upset because I don't— oh, that's right. I had asked you, are you still open for business, as just a way of being like, are you still dating and all that sort of thing, put you in an uncomfortable position. Because yeah, like the whole thing is going on multiple dates, that was the whole thing from the start. You said that and then I just realized, I'm like, why would you create a snippet? But I realised you didn't create a snippet, I pressed play on YouTube and recorded my screen.

Tommy: I get it, I get it. We want someone who is fun and can enjoy a bit of, you know, banter with us and that's— and can be a part of this because Mr. 97 is a big part of our life.

Josh: Yeah, absolutely.

Tommy: And we love him and we want him to find the best partner for him and that has to be someone who is, uh, goes to the gym. No, no, no.

Josh: Well, Emily from Sweden.

Tommy: Well, maybe. Loves the Daily Talk Show. He, I think, loves the Daily Talk Show.

Josh: I think that should be like one of the key things.

Tommy: Listen.

Josh: For who?

Mason: For you?

Tommy: That they love the day.

Josh: Well, no, but seriously, if you don't like, like proximity effect.

Tommy: Well, you couldn't date Karl Stefanovic's daughter and hate the Today Show when he was on it.

Josh: That's a weird analogy. He's not right, like, because there's so much cloud around that. Karl got kicked off.

Tommy: Okay, okay, I'll find a better one. I'll find a bit. You couldn't date Hamish Blake's son, who is very young, now pick a mate, Hamish Blake. As a comedian, as the person who is the front of the content. So if Mason finds somebody, Mr. 97, and they don't like Josh, sorry, she's not for us.

Josh: What about, what about this one? You can't date Donald Trump's daughter if you don't like Trump. What's, what's her name?

Tommy: Ivanka.

Josh: Is it Ivanka?

Tommy: It is. Yeah, 100%. I know my Trump.

Josh: Uh, Ivanka Trump if you don't like Donald. Yeah, that's fair.

Tommy: Um, I, I think it would be very hard to be in a relationship. You cannot like things that he does, but I think you'd need to like him as a person. Yeah, it's hard to— I had to go on date now. If she gets on Tinder now, well, she is, but if she tries to find someone now, it'd be very fucking hard. Yeah, that dude's married into the Trump— the Trump fucking dynasty, you know.

Josh: There's a lot of baggage there. You know, we were talking, um, Yesterday on the show about all the SATs.

Tommy: SATs, yeah. So the, the test that you sit if you are— I think there's many times that you can sit them, but the example was my friend wanting to study psychology later in life had to sit some test that is like a general knowledge test to see if you can even start studying.

Josh: Mr. 97, can you look up, uh, New York Times, uh, um College scam.

Tommy: New York Times college scam.

Josh: So what— so New York Times has written about it, they've all— the big newspapers have written about it. There has been this huge scam that's been uncovered with, uh, elite high-profile people paying for their kids to get into elite colleges without having to do any of the required things.

Tommy: Yeah. I did, I read a headline and—

Josh: What's the headline, 97?

Tommy: What was it?

Josh: What does it say?

Tommy: Because I don't know, it didn't explain it as well as you did then.

Mason: No, I think—

Josh: Is that quite good?

Tommy: No, that was good.

Mason: This headline is coaches and parents in college scheme find jobs in danger.

Tommy: Yeah, fuck, mate, that's useless.

Josh: Well, some people are actually like federal charges. It's huge because what's happened is, uh, there's a few different ways that they're getting around getting into the college, right? Yeah. So one of the ways, no joke, is they were, for a few, a couple of hundred thousand dollars, they will get photoshopped photos of your child and put them onto elite college athletes and show that they have like, and it turns out that one of the people who were part of this scheme, she was photo, she's 5 foot and she was photoshopped onto a basketball and got in through a basketball scholarship. Scholarship, so they didn't, didn't have to do it.

Tommy: So, so they're actually having to pull the wool over somebody's eyes. It's not as, it's not as like, look, we're just fucking—

Josh: so it's in with the coaches, so they let us in, they're giving money to the coaches and stuff.

Tommy: Like, personally, so they poke— oh, it's not going to the school?

Josh: No, but there's individual level. Yeah.

Tommy: Oh, that's full-on.

Josh: And so there's, there's also, uh, where they've been, say, those SAT test type of things, the SATs, um, in the US. What they've been doing is they basically get all these doctor's notes from psychiatrists or doctors or whatever saying that they've got a learning difficulty.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And so, they get special exemptions where they get an extended amount of time to do the test over 2 days. And over those 2 days, they basically do whatever they want on the first day, and then the second day, they've just got like a proxy person who does it all, fills it all out. And so the funny thing was that there were cases where these students were getting all of this help from, you know, these people so that they wouldn't sometimes know. So the parents would go and do all this work and they just think they're sitting the normal test. Yeah. And they were saying how there's sometimes they'd get these epic results and the kids were like, oh, I think I can do better. And like, no, no, no, no, no, because they'd done so much back-end work to make all this shit happen. And the dummy who had gotten too much confidence.

Tommy: Do you think the students knew, or the parents were the only ones? So it's like the, the stage mum.

Josh: The parents were pushing for it more.

Tommy: Yeah, well, I mean, what's the sort of the equivalent here? Like, it would be hard. I don't think I'd take the money, but you see when these people are probably not getting paid much and they're like, what the fuck?

Mason: One of the cases was $6.5 million.

Tommy: Oh yeah, you'll probably turn me crook for $6.5 million.

Josh: Yeah, and it's a lot of cash. Pretty crazy. And so the other thing that's happened happening too is why it's been, uh, sort of like the— apparently the federal police, so the FBI, the FBI raided, you know, like arrived at these people's houses and stuff, like guns drawn and shit.

Tommy: And it's a bit excessive.

Josh: Well, part of it is because, um, it was a tax avoidance scheme as well. So what they were doing, not only were they giving all this money, but they were running it through a charitable like organization. So they had a fake charity and then they would then use it as like education funds or whatever and paid out doing all this dodgy shit. So like, all together, you live in college.

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, this is the thing, you're— they're seriously, uh, that was me, sorry, not thinking about their own and they're thinking about their future of their child. It doesn't really make sense because any logical human's like, well, if this fucks up, it ruins everything for my kid versus gives them everything.

Josh: Wouldn't you hate being the kid in that situation?

Tommy: Of course you would. There's a, um, the F1 documentary that I've been talking about on Netflix. One of the teams, Williams—

Josh: I don't think you have told us much about it. Can you explain? You mentioned it.

Tommy: It's timely that it comes out just before the launch of the 2019 season of F1 that happens here. It starts tomorrow.

Josh: Wait, is that— does the season kick off— is the first race in Melbourne?

Tommy: I'm pretty sure the first race is— can you look tomorrow? Qualifying goes into the weekend. The final race.

Josh: Very— the whole season for the world starts in Melbourne. Yeah, yeah, that's cool.

Tommy: And so it's— it then goes around the world, and the Melbourne one is, is pretty big. It's fucking ginormous. And so there's one driver, Australian driver, in the entirety of—

Josh: Ricardo.

Tommy: Yeah, Daniel Ricciardo. He's a legend. So this documentary is about the 2018 season leading up through to— it just leads through the season, right? And so it looks at— there's a heavy emphasis on Daniel Ricciardo. There's some heavy shit that was happening where he was like, you know, the older driver of the two— each team has two drivers— and so he was the older one and it was coming to the end of his contract and all this shit's going on.

Josh: He's making Red Bull—

Tommy: I don't know, it's— I think it's a Netflix original, which doesn't mean they made it.

Josh: I mean, Netflix original, that's the one thing that a lot of creators get upset about because Netflix put up these Netflix original things. The reality is they buy it and put their little sticker on it.

Tommy: Either way, it is so good. It is so good. But one of the drivers for Williams, which is one of the other teams, is this young kid, and his father is a billionaire, and his father invests heavily into this team, like $100 million or something a season. Like ridiculous, because it's a money business. Like you need lots of money to make the cars.

Josh: That's even like V8s, even go-karts and shit. Like it's drag racing, all of those things are fucking expensive.

Tommy: Yeah, and so you need people with deep pockets. And this guy invests, and he— the kid is good though because he's like—

Josh: you always say kid, you say Mr.

Tommy: Kid, he's 19.

Josh: Mr. 97. When does Mr. 97 move on from being a kid?

Tommy: When he has his second date.

Mason: Really?

Josh: No, that could be Friday.

Tommy: I like it. I don't see Mr. 97 as 10 years younger than me, but he is. Yeah, he's nearly 11 years younger than me.

Josh: But when do we start— when do we stop calling him a kid? Because when Ollie came in, it's like, oh, I've got to, uh, a kid, Mason, who's doing work with us.

Tommy: Do you not like it, Mr. 97? Not you, Josh. You don't fucking like it?

Mason: No, it doesn't bother me.

Tommy: Doesn't bother you?

Josh: Baby doesn't care.

Tommy: No, that's fine. And, um, but the, the kid, the 19-year-old kid who's an F1—

Josh: double down, like, just the kid, the driver.

Tommy: He's a kid comparatively to most adults.

Josh: Yes.

Tommy: And He accepts it. He's like, I know, I know I've got to walk in here, I know this is the reality here. But he also needs— he can drive a fucking F1 car. He's a good driver. It's hard, you're—

Josh: but if you had a lot of training, like, I wonder, yeah, I wonder if we had— if we were super— we had—

Tommy: definitely not you, you couldn't become an F1 driver.

Josh: Well, just because of my height.

Tommy: Yeah, I guess.

Josh: What would you rather say?

Tommy: Your coordination? You're—

Josh: I think that I, like, if I— my parents had more money, maybe I'd be better more coordinated.

Tommy: Amy and I were actually saying that, like, you look at all the F1 drivers, they're all kind of attractive. They've got charisma. A lot of them are charismatic. Like, look, um, Jenson Button, uh, Lewis Hamilton, like, these dudes are dating pussycat dolls, like supermodels.

Josh: Like, dating pussy?

Tommy: No, but they're like, they're, they're a part of this world. And I don't know if it's I don't know if it's where you put them up, you know, like they're on this pedestal, they're, they're, you know, the like minority of the world doing this thing that no one else— yeah, they are the 1%. They're of a league of, you know, 20 drivers and they make $50 million a year. And they say how much they make, uh, Daniel Ricciardo's contract, $49 million a year, dude. That's his contract for driving. Not including sponsors.

Josh: It—

Tommy: like, think about it, he's risking his life every time he gets in the car. But I was thinking, is it— would there— is there some guy out there that is, uh, you know, from what people think is bad ugly, he's, he's 20%, he's, he's at 20 bad ugly, but he's actually the best driver in the world? He's so good, he's better than all of these guys, but he'll never get it based on his looks. Do you think that's a thing in terms of like the sport? Like, look at, um, look at, uh, Ronaldo.

Josh: Soccer— is he a soccer player?

Tommy: Uh, yeah, Ronaldo. He's a good-looking guy. Like, you might not be Beckham. Like, these people are the up the top. It's always like, I look at the AFL footy players, fucking good-looking blokes out on that field. How does that happen? How do they get so talented and also real good?

Josh: Nathan Buckley. Yeah, I mean, yeah, Andrew Gaze.

Tommy: Oh no, but there is— do you get what I'm saying? Like, so I know it, like Ricardo, he's trying—

Josh: I'm literally package trying to think of other sports people's names.

Tommy: It is, it's interesting.

Josh: I was trying to think, I actually, I had friends work on a shoot with Ricardo. Yeah. And it's the closest thing that I have to, like, the— I have gossip, like gossip.

Tommy: What is he? Is he—

Josh: why don't you—

Tommy: is he—

Josh: no, he's not a diva. I don't know whether to— I don't know if it was Ricciardo. I'm not gonna say F1 driver. I'll say an F1 driver. Yeah, I don't know who it is.

Tommy: Yep.

Josh: But allegedly that they were doing a film with him in it. Yeah. And he had to go because, uh, there— and his night in Seoul had— what he had planned was a big orgy.

Tommy: No, definitely not Ricciardo.

Josh: That's what I heard.

Tommy: Definitely not Ricciardo.

Josh: And he was like, quite— whichever F1— it mustn't have been Ricciardo.

Tommy: But who's publicising to the team, guys, I've got an orgy?

Josh: Well, yeah, it was a little bit—

Tommy: appreciate his honesty.

Josh: Yeah, just like, guys, I've got to be out of here because I'm having an orgy. I mean, this is how rumours start.

Tommy: Pants off at 8.

Josh: Remember, like, there was the, um, there's always weird You know, there's news anchors that it turns out that like, um, I remember someone told me that a wine bottle was found in that person at a hospital and you'd heard the storey as well.

Tommy: I'd love to show it, just cut to Mason's reaction right now.

Josh: What's his real— what was his reaction?

Tommy: You saw a ghost or something? No, you just saw a wine bottle in a guy's ass, that's what he was thinking, or a woman's ass.

Josh: Yeah, whatever it was.

Mason: I thought you were going to say on No, it wasn't on air.

Josh: No, but it was like, uh, it was actually my science teacher. So I had some weird teachers. My science teacher said how his friend was a paramedic and had to go to the, um, uh, you know, take the person to the hospital.

Tommy: Yeah. Oh, so you've got like the connection.

Josh: But the thing is that this same thing happened in on Christmas time where someone said that they found a wallet, gave it to someone, and the person said there's going to be a terrorist attack. Yeah, at Chadstone Shopping Centre, right? So this was a friend, um, like a direct friend had said that their friend— it happened to their friend.

Tommy: And so Josh called me and told me.

Mason: I did.

Tommy: You called me. I was like, you know what I did? Told my brother. But the bit I dropped, because I forgot the bit about how it was your mate's friend. I said it was your friend that found the fucking thing. So you see how this shit gets out, and next minute you've got a bottle in your ass.

Josh: But it just turned out VicPol, like Victorian Police, had to come out and say there is a rumour that, uh, you know, this is happening. And the thing was that a friend of mine was spewing, who's friends with the friend who had told us. Yeah, because she actually called up high-profile people and be like, hey, this is happening. And she was— before she made the call, she said 'Are you sure? Was this actually your friend?' Like, 'Yeah, it was a friend.' It was all bullshit.

Tommy: It is like I've said on this show before, who's seen a ghost? It's always someone that you know of someone. Or who's ever done a séance? 'No, no, it was my mate's mate who did this séance and the cup was moving.' It's always like, it is always one step away.

Josh: And so, or the friend is a little bit tweaked. Yeah.

Tommy: Or the friend dropped one of the main pieces of information that it was actually his friend's friend that I can't vouch for.

Josh: It does, it does happen. Yeah, and it turns out, yeah, Josh has a bottle in his ass. Yeah, exactly.

Tommy: We're off to the hospital.

Josh: I mean, I actually started off unfiltered on the show.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And now— I'm sorry, yeah, started filtering. Yeah, that was the end bit, was me filtering. That's why I didn't have anything, because I had something. I was like, am I gonna say it?

Tommy: We could go back and forth on that bottle for a long time.

Josh: It's a daily talk show. Uh, stickers.

Tommy: Yes, you still want them?

Josh: hi@thedailytalkshow.com is our email address, and in the subject line you put the words "stickers" and you put your address in the body of the email. And the funny thing is you flippantly said, now just include what you would do for dinner or something with Mr. 97 or whatever it is. Alex actually said, Mr. 97 sounds like a stand-up dude, but being happily married, I wouldn't date him, but I would let him cook for me if he fancies a trip over here.

Tommy: That's to the UK. He also said, I don't really have a favourite dessert, maybe bread and butter pudding or fab lollies or homemade pavlova but with fruit and crème fraîche. I'm sure you could do that.

Josh: You made homemade instead of what? Pavlova but with fruit and crème fraîche. I don't know about the— what is crème fraîche?

Tommy: I think it's like this whipped, like, it's kind of like— it's not— I'm not a fan.

Josh: And what's the bread and butter pudding?

Tommy: That sounds nice.

Josh: Bread Is it literally that?

Tommy: Like butter in a pudding.

Josh: Yeah, I guess that's what it is. It is.

Tommy: You— we should just maybe we could do it, bring it in on a Friday. No, it sounds good. Um, but yeah, tell us where you're listening from because it's been nice. We've been hearing all the different places and how you found us. It's so nice.

Josh: I don't think I got to it, but it would also be good— I think I got distracted with this when we're doing the stickers bit. What you were—

Mason: you—

Josh: I said, oh, you know, I'm worried about something And you said, is it the price of the international shipping? Shipping? That's fine. Just that we're like, we've only got the one type of sticker, and should we try and get the sticker page done? Yeah, in the next week or so, so we can send them all out. Something that's got like a little squeegee, Gronkh, all that sort of thing. I don't know.

Tommy: Uh, well, if you— when you get back to 3 Day Deal as well, if you wait, you may receive that or you may not. Yeah, we didn't get to it in time. But we will at some point. This is not the only sticker run. We've done 3. This is our 4th. We open it up every couple of months.

Josh: So, well, don't underplay it.

Tommy: Every other month.

Josh: Is that the same as every couple of months? Every other month?

Tommy: I don't know.
