Interviewed By The Police

Josh: The Daily Talk Show. It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 346.

Tommy: What's going on, guys?

Josh: We're in our studio here in Abbotsford, Victoria. It is currently 10 to—

Tommy: uh, he got a message as he pulled in.

Josh: 10 to 11 in the morning. That was an— did you see that happen in real time?

Tommy: Yeah. Who was it?

Josh: Uh, it was, uh, Till.

Tommy: Shout out to Till.

Josh: Yeah, Till was texting.

Tommy: Quick shout out to Conspiracy Jimmy. I mean, he has to listen today or next year on this date. It's his birthday.

Josh: Happy birthday, happy birthday.

Tommy: We had a coffee with him this morning.

Josh: How's he going?

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, he's great, he's great.

Josh: Any conspiracies?

Tommy: Uh, nothing this morning. Uh, yeah, just, you know, just having a bit of birthday banter. It's always nice.

Josh: Uh, we'll get to admin in a second, Mr. 97, because the, uh, the The virtual phone lines, i.e. our DMs.

Tommy: Yeah, they are the equivalent of our phoner system that we have here.

Josh: Yeah, and they were going off.

Tommy: Okay, I mean, yesterday was a big, a big show dedicated to Mr.

Josh: 97's love life, and it got mixed reactions.

Tommy: Just, just want to say, we didn't plan to even go there. We hadn't spoken before about what we were going to talk on that show, so it just evolves and then ends up just being real meaty, big stacks on. Yeah, sombre show, sombre around the office after.

Josh: Yeah, I was playing a bit for Bree specifically when 3D Dill just fucking handed it to 97 About like, look, I'd be apprehensive, I think was the word, which was really strong. But I was trying to find that bit and every time I press play it was just silence and I was going on, oh yeah, a lot of silence. Anyway, yeah, mix it. We'll get the responses. But the, the thing that I wanted to start with was, uh, 3D Dill and I and our, um, Victoria Street nightmare.

Tommy: Well, I'm, I'm, I mean, I'm upset that I missed it, but there is always a good storey that comes from things like this. So I, I just saw, uh, messages come through yesterday. I wasn't in the building and all I saw was someone's been stabbed and I was like, oh fuck.

Josh: That's not how you tell the story. You've already revealed the whole story.

Tommy: Someone was stabbed. It was. And you guys were there.

Josh: Well, this is the thing. I get very protective of how I tell my— like when I have a good story.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Even when I was thinking about yesterday when it all happened and Dyl talking about it.

Tommy: You mean when some serious thing is going on, you're thinking about podcast, how will I tell this?

Josh: Yeah, just in general. Just in general. Like if Bree's— I don't know if you get like this with Amy. Yeah, yeah. But if you hear someone close to you telling a storey and they're not doing it the exact same narrative, you're like, you fucked it.

Tommy: No, you know what, I think it's, I think it's you and I. Yeah, I think it's what we do every day and we're highly critical of the people close to us because we feel like they're extensions of us and, you know, we want them to be the best storytellers. I sometimes go out of the room while Amy's telling a storey nowadays.

Josh: Yeah, just walk out.

Tommy: Well, I'm just like, I can't. I don't want to pick her up on things.

Josh: So 3D Deal, from your perspective, even though Tommy sort of fucked the storey for you—

Tommy: No, I just told you what I just said, the main thing.

Josh: I just, I just told you the, the line.

Tommy: And the thing about storytelling, I've always— it's something I tried, like, I always was so sort of—

Josh: Very loud today.

Tommy: Um, yeah, thanks, uh, bringing a lot of energy to the show. I remember being in Shepparton and I was like, you have this way you're gonna tell a story, you know exactly. And like, the big punchline isn't always like the punchline of a knife going in isn't always the point of the story.

Josh: Do you want to tell the whole story? You mean the stabbing, the knife going in? Let's— 3D Dill, can you describe— because I like to really paint the whole picture. Can you paint the picture of what happened yesterday after yesterday's show?

Unknown: Yeah, so, so Josh and I were walking back from getting coffee, and it was, it was a beautiful— it was a beautiful day yesterday.

Josh: Oh, fuck, this is great. It's good.

Tommy: Do you hear any birds or Yeah, a few birds.

Unknown: Oh yeah, bright sunny skies. And then all of a sudden, like, Josh— I was talking to Josh about something, and then Josh puts his hand out and he points across the road, and there's this white car that has kind of swerved into the kerb lane. Oh, and some guy is like half out of the car in the back left passenger door, and then like tumbles onto the road into the gutter lane, and At first I thought he had been hit by the car, like he was trying to cross the street and then the car had kind of clipped him at the front.

Josh: Which I saw him actually roll out. So they were going about 50 k's an hour.

Tommy: That's fast.

Josh: And he just like rolled out. So you hear the skidding of the kkkk as he sort of like his back and stuff is hitting the road.

Unknown: Oh yeah, that was disturbing. Like actually hearing his body on the asphalt. And then he gets up and he's holding his right leg. And he's kind of like staggering onto the sidewalk to get out of the road.

Josh: And can I do the reenactment of what he said?

Unknown: Yeah, go for it.

Josh: I've been fucking stabbed! I've been fucking stabbed!

Tommy: More than once, or did you say it once?

Josh: I think it felt like more than once.

Unknown: He said it a few times. He kept— it looked like he was pointing and yelling at someone down the road.

Tommy: What did he look like? What kind of clothes did he look like?

Unknown: He was black jeans, black t-shirt, shaved slash balding head.

Tommy: Are you referring to Josh?

Josh: He does have that. I'd like to think my jeans is more dark blue. But the, uh, yeah, no, but what do you think in that moment?

Unknown: What do you—

Josh: So straight away, uh, the annoying thing is the car had left the scene by the time he pointed out that he was stabbed. And so we didn't get the full— like, I didn't get a registration number or anything.

Tommy: Well, because he's like, what the fuck's going on? When you— when he says stabbed, what can you physically see on his body? Stab wound?

Josh: He pulled up his pants.

Tommy: Oh, how close did you get to him?

Josh: So we, uh, we were just across the road, but it was fairly— it was close, do you think?

Unknown: Yeah, it's, it's, it's not a wide road, um, but like he kind of ripped open his jeans like on around his shin and you could tell that there were scrapes on his leg from, from the asphalt. Yeah, but then up more to the middle inner thigh, there's like this—

Tommy: it wasn't huge by any means, but you could tell that there was blood coming I mean, the first wound, the first thought around this area is be careful of going near someone who's bleeding. Like, it's a real consideration.

Josh: What do you mean?

Tommy: Heroin addicts, HIV, a lot of them have, you know, it's big. And that's why it's like, are you going to choose to resuscitate somebody? It's a decision you make. You either do or you don't.

Josh: I called triple zero.

Tommy: Oh, that's a good thing to do. And you are the guy that would do that.

Unknown: Yeah.

Josh: And I was very— do you think I was quick? How would you—

Unknown: you, you were talking on the phone before I even understood what was happening already. I'm just listening to this guy saying, "I've been stabbed," and I'm like, "Has he really been stabbed?" Did he want you to help him?

Josh: So there was a guy in like a blazer, like an older dude who had like a lanyard on, who looked like he worked in a building close by, who was going over to him. Yes. And so because I saw that, I was across the road near Charles Street, which is just up from Lennox, on Victoria Street, and so I just called 000 straight away. The question is, police, fire, or ambulance? What would you say?

Tommy: Ambulance.

Josh: Okay, I fucked up.

Tommy: I mean, police have the equipment, they have first aid equipment, but they're not gonna say like—

Josh: I think someone getting stabbed, my initial response was like a police. And so I did— well, I think part of it is because they can also, um, get the ambulance.

Tommy: They can, but you'd actually probably be better off calling the fire brigade because they're the ones that go to people who've had heart attacks and stuff. Like if there's no one in the area.

Josh: I think that's bad advice. Can we all agree?

Tommy: You can't actually—

Josh: Can we all agree that calling the fireys is bad advice?

Tommy: Like you call one number.

Josh: I think police is— because the thing is, I heard a guy say, oh, he needs an ambulance. Yeah. The thing is, there was other people on the phones and all that sort of thing.

Tommy: Yeah, you're never the first. There's all like—

Josh: I reckon I was the first though.

Tommy: You reckon?

Unknown: I'd say you were the first because everyone who was on the other side of the road was dealing with him, was dealing with him and just looked confused. Like no one really knew whether this guy was telling the truth. He could have been drugged out on something.

Josh: But the fact that he fell out of a car going 50 k's an hour and him saying, I've been fucking stabbed, was enough to be like, oh, like this is serious. So anyway, we were walking up Victoria Street going back to our office. And as I like, the call, I looked at the call, it went for 3 minutes with triple zero. And I, um, I said to— fucking Siri, for some reason Siri is just— I don't know if I'm leaning, I think I'm leaning or whatever, but she just keeps fucking annoying me. Anyway, so we, um, we had that call. And so I said— what did I say after all the call happened? What did I say to you?

Unknown: You, you said something along the lines of like, you kept looking back over your shoulder at the guy who had finally kind of settled down against sitting against a building and there were people—

Tommy: was he losing consciousness?

Unknown: No, he was still kind of yelling and we could hear the sirens coming from up the street.

Josh: Well, they said, and we've also notified the ambulance.

Unknown: Yeah, yeah. And so, yeah, Josh was kind of like, should we go back? Should we go back? And I saw something on the road that could have been from the car, so I wanted to go back more or less just to see what was going on. And then Josh said something along the lines of like, Yeah, we probably should go back and just cheque it out.

Josh: Well, initially, because I was like, you know what, like—

Tommy: Did you think you'd just done your duty calling the cops and then you're out of there?

Mason: Absolutely.

Josh: Well, I was thinking, to be honest, I was like taking a leaf out of your book.

Tommy: What's that?

Josh: You were— you criticised me last time of sort of being on Eyewitness News when there was a ram raid. And so I was like, on Victoria Street, do I want to be the guy who's chatting to the cops? And so I initially, my first response was They even said, triple zero said, do you want to leave your details? I said, no, that's fine, thanks. And so I finished that. But then, yeah, walking up the street, then we heard all the sirens, and then we went and we saw 4 cop cars arrive, ambulance arrive, and, um, Dyl saw the bright green thing that was on the ground right near where the car had done all their things.

Tommy: So what was it?

Unknown: It was a lighter.

Tommy: And did it come from the car?

Unknown: That's what, that's what we think.

Josh: That's what it is.

Unknown: We don't know for sure.

Josh: But the good thing is my favourite character within any sort of police scene that I've been involved in, there's always a police officer. I call them the keen cop. They're fairly junior, but they fucking get a bit— they're a bit ADD.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah.

Josh: The teachers have said, you know, I think being police would be, you know, being a police officer would be a good role for you because, you know, your energy and all that sort of thing. And so we'd said to him, well, like, there's something on the ground there. We think it came out of the car. He's straight away like, oh, it's come from the car. It's like, we need to get some photos and we need to bag it up. And then the senior—

Tommy: He's actually saying that?

Josh: Yeah. And the senior—

Tommy: He's watched too many movies.

Josh: Didn't he say that?

Unknown: Yeah, he was being real enthusiastic about it.

Josh: Yeah. And then so the senior officer said, what is it? He goes, oh, it's a lighter. And he's like, okay. And you said, oh, we should bag it up, shouldn't we? He's like, no, just— A photo's fine. Anyway, so that happened, and then they separated, uh, Dill and I so we could give our witness, um, things.

Tommy: We're seeing— are they trying to— how far away did they separate you?

Josh: Not very far. It was a poor effort.

Unknown: Yeah, we were about like 20 feet away. I think it was just so that—

Josh: meters, please.

Unknown: Yeah, like my storey didn't influence his story.

Tommy: And yeah, they do this kind of a thing.

Josh: You missed that.

Tommy: We got—

Josh: how many metres do you reckon 20 feet is?

Tommy: 4, 8, 12, 16, 5 minutes. Yeah, 4 or 5 minutes.

Unknown: Yeah, yeah.

Tommy: So yeah, they do that, they separate you. When we were in a band in this abandoned building—

Josh: I thought you said in a band. Never in a band.

Tommy: Never been in a band. When we got caught in this abandoned building and we fudged this story, they separated us and tried to fucking get it out of us, but we were rock solid.

Josh: But the thing was, it didn't end there. The drama continued. Yeah, because as 3D Dill is telling the guy, yeah, you know, the police officer, what happened, I had in my head that it was a VW white sort of hatchback with a black number plate with white writing.

Tommy: Nice car.

Josh: Yeah. And so I was like, I had that in my head and I said that over the phone on 000. I said, this is the car I think it was. And then I was like questioning. I'm like, I didn't really like take proper notice anyway.

Tommy: Are cars your specialty?

Josh: Like, absolutely not.

Tommy: Well, because you were very specific. Yeah, well, uh, which gives you the confidence, right? If you can be that specific, you're confident.

Josh: Well, the confidence was thrown later because 3D Deal said, I think it was a Toyota. I thought it was an older dirty Toyota car, and I thought it was a shiny VW.

Tommy: Very obvious.

Josh: Yeah, and so it's annoying, but I'm gonna go based on my localisms of understanding the local car market over 3D Deal, who's just fucking got here. Anyway, so, uh, Dill's talking to the police officer, and then behind Dill is a white VW, completely tinted so you can't see anything, with a black and white number plate. And so I walk— I'm like, my heart starts racing. I go up to the cop and I say—

Tommy: oh, you weren't chatting to him?

Josh: No, Dill was. And I've just come up, and I actually— I probably scared the cop because I sort of went behind the cop. Did you see that? Like, I was sort of like, like protecting myself because I thought that maybe they would fucking just throw some bullets or something out.

Tommy: Anyway, they're not.

Josh: And, uh, and so I said, I think that's the car. And so he straight away turns, and this wasn't even hashtag the keen cop, this was another cop. Yeah, turns around to the VW, uh, and because it's sort of like, um, bumper-to-bumper traffic because there's been a stabbing, and, uh, he's like, pull over, pull over! God, anyway, yeah, yelling and had his arm out or whatever, and then like 3 seconds later he's like, oh, it's just an old lady and she's the heroine matriarch of Abbotsford. But she scared the fuck out of her, I reckon. Yeah, but I stand by it, could have been that car.

Tommy: I mean, pretty stupid for the car to roll back through.

Josh: That's why I thought—

Mason: yeah, or smart.

Tommy: Not smart. Get away from the scene. You're not, you're not in Jason Bourne. It's not how it works.

Josh: So any, uh, any questions for 3D Diller Eye about what happened?

Tommy: Why didn't you actually get photos of the dude? Like, you got photos of just cop cars that you sent me, of the actual, uh, the guy stabbed.

Josh: Yeah, poor taste.

Mason: Uh, no, but you were on the phone.

Tommy: Like, I mean, I, I'd be sort of videoing what's happening.

Josh: No, I like—

Tommy: I think he was a sort of a hard done by guy. Oh, so that's him lying down. Did he look rough? Yes, he looked rough as guts.

Josh: Well, that's why I didn't like, um, uh, we were keeping our distance because I just thought like it's also probably good, um, that's going towards danger. Yeah, someone's saying I've been fucking stabbed and then going towards that, that seems probably irresponsible.

Tommy: Have I told you about this, the time I thought I was doing something right and I was in Shepparton having a coffee sitting on the main street This is when I was working up there, and I just hear this, and it sounded like a human hitting concrete.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: And I turn around and this large lady had just fallen straight back and was out cold. No, she'd had some— something happened to her. It wasn't— she wasn't old, she was a young woman, quite big though. And I'm thinking, what the fuck? What's happened here? And so a woman next to me ran inside, was like, oh, get help. And I went over to it. I'm thinking, oh, she's fucking— she's gonna have a fit. I've got to roll her onto her side.

Josh: Yeah. And so I thought you're gonna say she has a fit because it's Tommy from the radio that's about to resuscitate.

Tommy: It's Tommy from Star.

Josh: I'm here to help.

Tommy: I just basically— I rolled her over into like a, you know, like a coma position. So you're sort of on your side, you're safe from choking on anything. And I was like, I've got this, this is fucking— you know, I'd heard my brother done this to a guy with epilepsy and actually saved this dude's life who was choking. He was actually fitting. And then out comes this guy and he's like— he was inside, he was a paramedic. Paramedic, sorry, paramedic, paramedic, paramedic, paramedic.

Josh: It's annoying that we can't have one great snippet without you fucking up a word.

Tommy: How about we have just letting me sink.

Josh: I am. Go on.

Tommy: No, you don't need to highlight it. I'm not fucking saving your life.

Josh: Okay, okay. So there's a paramedic.

Tommy: A paramedic runs out and, um, he's like, no, roll her back onto her back. He was like, no, she could have a fucking back injury or something. So he was basically saying don't do that.

Josh: Ah, sure. Yeah, so she could have herniated her disc or whatever.

Tommy: Maybe, maybe.

Josh: So was she fine?

Mason: Spinal, spinal?

Tommy: I don't know. She got taken off in the ambulance, she became— she came to after a while, and I saw her. She came to? She came to. She came back, like, consciousness.

Josh: Okay, came to.

Tommy: Yeah, so she came to, and I've never heard that before. Never?

Josh: No.

Tommy: Um, yeah, I don't know where to go with that.

Josh: It's good that she came to.

Tommy: She came to, and I fucking— I didn't do the right thing. Okay, it wasn't right.

Josh: Any, any questions for 3D DLR?

Tommy: Uh, no, nothing other than you should have videoed it because we would have had A bit of content.

Mason: Yeah.

Tommy: Does it scare you, 3D deal?

Unknown: No, because I've like— you see all sorts of shit in Toronto with homeless people, and I've never witnessed a stabbing or a shooting, but I've— I lived like a block away from where someone got shot. Yeah, live in a rough neighbourhood back home for school, so it's nothing that I'm not used to.

Tommy: Have you seen fights on the street? Like, is this something you've seen, John?

Unknown: Yeah, I've seen that.

Josh: Yeah, I haven't seen too much. Like, I've actually— we saw someone kicking in someone else's head when we're coming off Yeah, it was so—

Tommy: that was surreal because it was like a lady kicking in a dude's head. Yeah, she was just— yeah, it was— that was bizarre. But I was once at a nightclub in the toilet at the urinal. I'm just like looking at this guy's eye, mate, and then I just look back and there's another guy in there and they're just having, having, you know, a bit of exchange of words. And then all of a sudden, while they're weeing— no, I was the only one weeing at that point— but they just start thumping each other's heads with their fists and then they're on the ground and I'm just like, oof, settle down boys.

Josh: Did you say that?

Tommy: Yeah, I was like, fucking, whoa, chill, chill. I didn't want to get in the middle of it, but I was like, they were just going for it and I thought I'd just leave it.

Josh: So if we were to deconstruct what happened or have a bit of sort of a retrospective or a post-mortem, I mean, he didn't die, but—

Tommy: Well, we don't know.

Josh: Yeah, no, he's fine. I looked up an article and said it was— he was in a stable condition. Okay, anything that we could do differently?

Tommy: Call the ambulance. I think any time there's an injury, it's ambulance, and they will send whatever. I'm sure a cop might come first, but isn't that— wouldn't like— is the fire happening? You call the fire brigade. If there's a fight and there's people injured, you call the ambulance.

Josh: Do you? If there's a fight, if there is a— if there's violence?

Tommy: Well, if it's— if there's a riot, but if there's a fight that has happened and there's people on the ground with shattered noses you call the ambulance. They will call, like if you call and say to the ambulance, there's this, they'll get police to come as well.

Josh: So is it the same, same, same?

Tommy: Yeah, but I think it's the dude's suffering. You think the suffering can be helped by the ambulance.

Josh: But we don't know if the person is going to come back and stab someone else or—

Tommy: Yeah, true. I mean, it's very hard. We heard a guy down the end of the street who reported someone who had suffered a drug overdose and was dead. He called and it took 2 hours for anybody to come. So I mean, he said he called multiple times and waved to, you know, the ticket inspector people and tried to get them to do it.

Josh: I mean, what are they going to do?

Tommy: Call in? They would have a direct line. So they're like, um, the ticket— there's like the security ticket inspector people. What are they called? Um, uh, officers. The public— that's a New Catch public transport—

Mason: PSOs.

Tommy: Officers.

Josh: They look like cops, so they have a direct line to the police because they're So you're thinking if you see someone that looks like they're dead, you should call police first?

Tommy: Well, just call triple zero.

Josh: That's what I did. Yeah, I think it all worked out well.

Tommy: You asked me to critique what you've done.

Josh: But I think it's— Bree says that I'm bad at feedback.

Tommy: Of course you are. I've said that multiple times.

Josh: Mr. 97 asked him to watch a video that I made. He's like, we got any other edits, any other bits that you could put in? I was like, go fuck yourself. And he had one of them.

Mason: You literally spent like a few hours on this edit putting all this effort into it, and then I watch it, I'm just like, yeah, we're sensitive artists, Mason.

Josh: He also had one of those protein yoghurt things, so he's at my desk going, oh, you got any? I need—

Tommy: there's something I need some feedback on. It's this fucking—

Josh: this key.

Tommy: This— so I always looked at, like, I remember this kid's dad that I grew up with who had this massive keychain.

Josh: Yes, not good for the ignition.

Tommy: Full of keys. Like, how many keys have I got in this one? 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 2 buzzers and a squeegee.

Josh: 2 buzzers and a squeegee.

Tommy: Is this too much? Is this like, yeah, am I becoming that dad who's just—

Josh: is it? This is the problem that I have as well. I don't think I've got my— what do you carry on me? It's just too many keys. But I'm in charge of the letterbox at home.

Tommy: Okay, okay.

Josh: Do you have a letterbox key?

Tommy: But do you—

Josh: PO box? I've got a lot of delivery keys.

Tommy: This is getting— do I need to have all these? Like, no. Yeah, should I cut them? Should I—

Mason: what are they for?

Josh: Who's it for? What's it for?

Tommy: Yeah, a lock that's not on any door. Yeah, this is a safe that I don't use.

Josh: Yeah, there's definitely— you could at least cut it by half, you think?

Tommy: My parents' place. I mean, I don't use it that often at mum and dad's place.

Josh: Yeah, I tell you what, it would be good.

Tommy: I know. Um, last night I went for a walk and, um, and I just need— I wanted to get like an hour of walking in.

Josh: You called me?

Tommy: Yeah, that actually, that actually sucked a lot of the time. That was 35 minutes.

Josh: I was at Officeworks and the thing is that even when you're wearing AirPods, they still ask you if you're okay, like, do you need a hand with anything?

Mason: Couldn't cope.

Josh: I'm trying to have a conversation with you. I've just got all these people in blue. It was like some form of, uh, test. Yeah. Like, and because the thing is that I'm really being aimless, I'm just like looking around at nothing. Like, how do you know? I'm just like, I just didn't know.

Tommy: They do have good customer service at Officeworks.

Josh: Did you get anything? Uh, I didn't. Bree got some stuff. She got a, like, a, uh, a sign that would be used to be able to put like an A4 piece of paper in. But 3D Dill loves, um, Officeworks.

Unknown: Yeah, this is pretty nice.

Josh: Good integration. I think that's solid. No, he actually Tell the Bic story.

Unknown: So there's this brand of pens that you can't buy in Canada.

Josh: Bic.

Unknown: Yeah, well, we sell Bic pens in Canada, but there's ones that have like a gold yellow barrel, which is just a yellowish plastic. Yeah, but you can't buy them in Canada. To order it through Amazon, it's like $10 per pen.

Josh: $10 per pen. So you go to Officeworks and what's there?

Unknown: And there's these yellow Bic pens that are $6 for 12.

Tommy: Are you thinking about buying and taking home and creating some little racket?

Unknown: Yeah, I'm going to try. I'm going to buy them in bulk and then sell them to people individually for $8 each.

Tommy: So it's cheaper than a dollar profit. Plus you've had to come to Australia.

Josh: He was so pumped about it, though.

Unknown: Yeah, I was really, really enthusiastic about it.

Josh: Buy big pens. The little things. Yeah, the little things. Anyway, so that's what I was— I was out and about, Officeworks, chatting to you.

Tommy: Yeah, I was out walking. And I actually went for a walk because I wanted to get the exercise in, but I also wanted to see this sign on this door of a shop. And it's a kebab shop that's closed down. I've talked about this guy. He got done for drug dealing on the dark web. And haven't we all? Yeah.

Josh: You know, it's just, we haven't gotten caught yet.

Tommy: Past times. He's in jail at the moment, but he owned the souvlaki shop and I saw this sign on the door. He hasn't been paying his rent. Anyway, it's hard.

Josh: How do you put like—

Tommy: when you own a business, when you own a business, he has multiple kebab shops.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: And then he gets done for drug dealing. What happens to the kebab shops? You hope that the people working there still have a job. This is the problem with people doing fucking dodgy shit as well as running legit businesses. It totally affects everybody. It's a shit move, bro.

Josh: It's so annoying.

Tommy: Don't— you're a grump.

Josh: If you're listening to this, if you think about what you've done, Absolute gronk.

Tommy: Anyway, poor people making great souvlakis. No longer. And so that was one of the things, but I was walking and I fucking— I'm so annoyed because I took a shortcut and I stepped in shit.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: And I just— it was so dark and I couldn't see anything. I was like, there's something under my foot, I'll just keep walking. Is it there? And then I looked down, I was like, fuck. But when was the last time you did that? When was the last time you—

Josh: I did it. I'm pretty sure I did it when we were in Easy Street.

Tommy: Really?

Josh: Yeah, it's so annoying. And like, I, um, I go into a full rage.

Tommy: What, because of the owner?

Josh: Yeah, so I've literally been like, I've thought, you know what, fuck this, I'm gonna have a stakeout. We're working out. Yeah, there's always one fucking owner that does it a bunch of times.

Tommy: It is the ultimate. That is the explanation of a gronk, a guy who sees his dog shitting and walks off.

Josh: Could we do something, some form of content around that where we did—

Tommy: imagine Well, I've got— so where I live, I've got a gate that takes us out to the car park, and that's on a different street. So you enter from one street, but what you can also do is cut through to the park. So people that live in the back street, they cut through our fucking little bit and get— and there's a guy that does it with a dog. I've seen this, two people. One's got a Jack Russell, one's got like more of a Staffy-looking thing.

Josh: What do the owners look like?

Tommy: Just one guy's bald, dude. Seems seems nice.

Josh: Sounds like the guy, like the same description as the guy that got stabbed.

Tommy: No, he's, um, definitely not a junkie. But so this guy, I'm, I'm, I've brought, I've nailed, I've honed it down to 2 people that it could be, but they, their dog's shitting in our walkthrough, which shouldn't happen.

Unknown: Yeah.

Tommy: So I've thought about the stakeout.

Josh: Could we do— I'd be happy to. Do they do it how often?

Tommy: Not often enough to know when it's happening. Once every couple of weeks. And so this is the thing, you need cameras. You need— this is like trying to get a photo of a, you know, a cougar.

Josh: Well, why don't we, why don't we try and get a sponsor of a camera security company?

Tommy: We can get hunting cameras that flash when— I mean, you can get security ones, but you can also get ones that are triggered. So, but every time someone walks past, yeah, yeah, there's this photo, catches them in a cage.

Josh: That'd be funny if we could cage the dog.

Tommy: It's probably illegal, but it should be illegal to let your dog shit everywhere. Anyway, so I was so triggered with this shit on my foot from— I just remember being at the— in the front garden of my house where I grew up, just with the tap on full blast trying to fix this. And then I'd outsource it to my dad when I was a real young gronk.

Josh: I think I chucked out— geez, I just chucked shoes out.

Tommy: Anyway, I'm wearing them today, so I tried to make a stand. Because I fixed it. Yeah, it's like, this is, you know, I'm cleaning up shit from my son, I can at least do this. I'd actually rather clean up shit from my son.

Josh: We could definitely set up a sting because, um, the types of security cameras that I've used previously, you can actually, you can fast forward so you can see the exact moment that something changes. So basically you would find the shit and then you'd go back until the shit's gone, and then you go forward, and then you find when the shit's been left. Yeah. So I don't actually think that— it's not like, ah, fuck, we've got to comb through hours of footage. We just need to find where the shit's there, and then when it's gone, and then find the middle bit.

Tommy: If we can— if we could get some kind of deal with a camera company that could send us out, I think that's what we need to start seeing if we can capture some.

Josh: If we had a remote, I think it would be great to have a remote system I could imagine almost like, you know, because I said they're doing a bit of work at the moment. Dyl, you would have seen it on the news with the tacks on the road that people are leaving them.

Tommy: Tacks as in like metal needle things?

Josh: And the cyclists are fucking flipping over and stuff. And so, they've set up remote CCTV to try and catch them. And I was thinking, I'm like, arakā, I could do a better job.

Tommy: It's always like, I've had some thoughts about how you could, like, I've thought, you know, when you get, it's like the devil on your shoulder. You've like, imagine if you did that.

Josh: You talk about the devil a lot.

Tommy: Yeah, devil's in everyone. I think the people who are more sane are thinking of, could think up greater ways to injure more people than the people who actually go and do the injuring. It's like, think about the terrorist attackers that fuck the bomb. It's like they're in such a state to be in that place in the first place that they fuck it.

Josh: Yeah, it's like, one job, you had one job, you idiot.

Tommy: Yeah, you had one chance.

Josh: Like, that's what you take away.

Tommy: You don't— you don't want sane people. Yeah, having the ideas and actually acting on them. It's the insane ones that actually lose perspective about everything. Yeah, anyway, that's a pretty dark note. Yeah, uh, throw it over to admin.

Josh: Uh, what's going on? 97. What's been the blowback from Mr. 97?

Mason: Yeah, we've had a bit of feedback on yesterday's episode, haven't we, mate? So we got a, we got a message yesterday from Jake. Poor Mr. 97, you guys are way too rough on him. Give him space to find out what Mr. 97 is all about.

Tommy: Have you had enough time? It's been 24 hours.

Josh: 24 hours.

Mason: Yeah, uh, we got it. We got another message in from Kathleen. Just listening to the podcast, guys. Poor Mr. 97. Been absolutely grilled today. Sending you love.

Josh: Mm, sending you love.

Tommy: Is that an invitation for a date?

Josh: It sounds like it.

Tommy: Or just support. Probably just support. Either way, you wouldn't follow through with it even if it was.

Mason: Uh, another message from Sean. You seem like a classy guy. You'll have a lot to offer someone when you're ready, fella.

Josh: Which is nice. Thanks, Sean.

Tommy: It's nice.

Josh: Is that the Tube Sean? Is that Tube Sean? Sean from England?

Tommy: S-H, I think it might be. Ah, is it? I don't know. Anyway, do you think these people are mentioning, you know, they think they're reaching out because they genuinely feel that he needs—

Josh: They love the drama.

Tommy: I mean, I love the drama.

Josh: No, I think like, no, we had legitimate feedback. Trev had a go at us as well.

Mason: Oh yeah. Yeah, Trev, you gronks need to do some business training. SMART goals are not a set, it's one thing.

Tommy: Trev, we're the ones with a big media company.

Mason: Um, and he said, so the SMART goal is Mr. 97 will contact a girl within 2 weeks to see if a second date is possible. Specific, he has it.

Tommy: So then we're breaking down what SMART means.

Mason: Specific, specific, yeah, is he has a task.

Tommy: Yep, the task is the date.

Mason: Measurable, it's a yes or no answer. Did it happen? Actionable, yes, Mr. 97 has options on how he goes about it.

Tommy: Yeah.

Mason: Relevant, the task is to get a girl. This is directly relevant. Time-bound, it's in the goal. Get your shit together.

Tommy: I mean, I'll put this back on, um, Trev. You've broken it down. No, no, but I'm saying you've broken it down for us. You've done our biz dev for us.

Josh: Send the invoice through, Trev. Uh, You'll be interested, I did a poll. The question was, are we too tough on Mr. 97? The possible answers was yes or absolutely not. Yes at 49%, absolutely not at 51%. Yes, so, um, that's great.

Tommy: Absolutely not.

Mason: Yeah, it's coming.

Tommy: No, I think it's—

Josh: what did you say?

Mason: No, that's, that's come in very last minute.

Josh: Yeah, yeah.

Mason: No, I think it's, I think it's good. I think I need to be pushed for me to get those sort of answers. So yeah, okay, you know, figuring out if it's, yeah, where, where, where my anxieties lie and that sort of thing. It's, uh, needs to happen.

Josh: So what, is there any reflection from, from yesterday's show? Uh, he's done his arms again.

Tommy: Yeah, he gets real. I mean, it's like a Young teenagers, detention.

Mason: Yeah, not, not, not really any, uh, ideas ready to articulate. They're still forming.

Josh: Do you know what, that, um, that body language is actually what I would like to call match reports, uh, body language, which at the footy— yeah, footy, we had match reports every Sunday. I was like, yeah, it was a big game on, uh, Saturday, uh, 6:10:43 to Endeavour Hills 9:7:48. 'Best on ground, Josh, killed it in the back line, good on you, mate.' And then they're fucking— one claps and you get a—

Tommy: I mean, he's— it's his tell. I mean, there is— is there— do you think you could throw people? Oh yeah, because I'm copying. But I mean, sometimes you could just be a bit cold and you want to close up.

Josh: Well, Conspiracy Jimmy said when people are touching their neck, they're uncomfortable. It's sort of a—

Mason: what's protection from your neck?

Josh: Yeah, that's what it is.

Tommy: What, savage beast has come at your throat?

Mason: Yeah, that's what it is, because you protect all your vulnerable—

Josh: I feel like it's— is that a Joe Rogan thing? Is that where you got that from? Where's that?

Tommy: Probably.

Mason: I don't know, I just read it somewhere.

Tommy: He just felt it, it came to him.

Josh: It's a daily talk show. Uh, thanks all for the, uh, Apple Podcast reviews too.

Tommy: Yeah, keep them coming.

Josh: Yeah, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts. That could also be described as Apple iTunes. They've got a bit of a branding issue.

Tommy: Do they?

Josh: Yeah, it's fine.

Tommy: They've rejigged it. It's all over the shop.

Josh: But also YouTube, youtube.com/thedailytalkshow. People have been enjoying watching 3D Dill trying out Australian foods, the ultimate Australian taste test.

Tommy: Oh, I've got to say, I just looked in the fridge here. There's a meat pie.

Mason: Have you not seen it?

Tommy: The Four and Twenty meat pie?

Josh: As in, did you buy that?

Unknown: Yeah, I bought that last night.

Josh: So you're going to put it in the microwave?

Unknown: Yeah, I'm going to have that in like 10 minutes.

Josh: Really?

Unknown: A bit early.

Josh: Soggy pie, his first soggy pie. Yeah, it's a daily talk show. We'll see you tomorrow, guys. See you guys.
