From this episode’s transcript.

  • –The Daily Talk Show unveiled a new logo designed by 3D Dyl, described as having no deep strategic process behind it beyond trial and error, with a blue arrow motif meant to suggest 'forward thinking'.
  • –A community poll found 51% of respondents (22-21) believe it is NOT a 'gronk move' to use a McDonald's playground without buying anything.
  • –Tommy committed months ago to hand-rewriting Seth Godin's entire book 'This Is Marketing' as a retention technique, but as of this episode (11 June) still hadn't started writing.
  • –The hosts finally fulfilled a long-standing promise to send branded trucker caps to anyone who recommended the show on the now-defunct podcasting app Swoot.
  • –Golden syrup dumplings were identified as a nostalgic Australian dessert, though the hosts debated whether it's really just a riff on Asian dumpling traditions.

Questions this episode answers

What is the new Daily Talk Show logo and who made it?

The new logo was revealed on air in episode 366. It was designed by team member 3D Dyl through an iterative trial-and-error process, described by George Martin (Mr. 97) as capturing the essence of Tommy, Josh and the show, with a blue arrow element meant to represent 'forward thinking'.

Is it rude to use a McDonald's playground without buying anything?

Josh ran an Instagram poll after taking his son Bodhi to a McDonald's playground on a rainy day without purchasing anything. The vote finished 22 to 21 (51%), with the majority saying it's not a 'gronk move' to use the playground without buying.

What promise did Tommy make about Seth Godin's book?

After interviewing marketing author Seth Godin in New York, Tommy promised to hand-rewrite his entire book 'This Is Marketing' word for word as a technique to better retain its content, a project he admits he still hadn't started as of this episode.

Tommy: The Daily Talk Show. It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 366.

0:06

Josh: What is happening, guys?

0:08

Tommy: Happy Tuesday.

0:09

Josh: Yeah, it's Tuesday, and I tell you, I got such a great laugh from my child's daycare workers. No, what are they? They're childcare workers at my kids' daycare center, because I told Bodhi when I picked him up last week, because it's a long weekend, I said to Bodie, say to them, see you next Tuesday.

0:31

Tommy: That is very funny. It's a good way to get a kid saying the C-word. And did it get a laugh? Oh, they loved it. Okay.

0:37

Josh: I think it also helps when it's coming from a kid like Bodie because they're like—

0:40

Tommy: With a mullet.

0:41

Josh: Yeah, like this kid, if he's saying see you next Tuesday now and he has no idea, imagine what he will be saying.

0:47

Tommy: Bit cranky. I did like also, before we do the reveal, we've got a big black cloth.

0:52

Josh: Guys, you need to go to our YouTube channel, youtube.com/thedailytalkshow, to see this reveal, but we'll get to to that soon.

0:59

Tommy: You did a poll yesterday. Yes.

1:02

Josh: So, Bodhi and I, you know what, like you start realising because I don't, Bodhi goes to daycare full time. So, the time that I have with him is only what, on the weekends, at night, in the morning. It's not, I would, if I was super wealthy, all I'd do is this show and hang out with Bodhi. Oh, and Amy, I love you. But I do that. Like, I think I would definitely want to give more time to him. But so we're hanging and I'm just thinking, what can we do?

1:32

Tommy: Do you ask him?

1:33

Josh: Oh, I mean, I say, you want to go to the park? If I—

1:37

Tommy: You want to go to the park? You want to go to the park?

1:39

Josh: See, here's the problem. It's the presupposition. You're sort of putting the words in his mouth because as soon as you say, do you want a baby chino? Baby chino, baby chino. Do you want to go to the park? Yeah, park, park. So Sometimes. Yeah, I do ask him, but usually it's just telling him what I kind of want as well.

1:54

Tommy: Does it work if you were to say like, oh, do you want to pick up your toys?

1:57

Josh: Yeah, you can tell him, can you go pick up your toys? He does that.

2:00

Tommy: He listens.

2:00

Josh: Yeah, he listens. Go put this nappy in the bin and he'll run over or, you know, carry these nappies in the supermarket.

2:05

Tommy: Is that common for babies to put their own nappies in their bin?

2:08

Josh: They like order. And so, and they, a lot of them like instructions to feel like they're doing something. So, he does. And I don't know if it's You know, I've only got one kid. I can't speak for—

2:18

Tommy: Less likely to shit your pants if you have to chuck it out, do you reckon?

2:21

Josh: I don't know.

2:23

Tommy: I think so. When I accidentally shit my pants at the golf course, having to— we actually chucked them out. That's how bad it was.

2:31

Josh: Wasn't even like a wash. Mate, it's a solid move. It is a bit of a gronk move because someone else has to deal with that bin. Anyway, so yesterday it started raining and I wanted to take Bodie to the park. You can't go to the park when it's raining. Slides are all wet.

2:45

Mason: It's fucked.

2:46

Josh: It's cold, miserable. And so we went to— I knew this McDonald's car park that I've wanted to do the show, the Daily Talk Show, in the early days. I remember how I was like, meet me here. Anyway, somehow we didn't do it. But it's this McDonald's on Malvern Road, I think it is, and it's in Prahran, and it's got this epic playground that kind of snakes out from the building and around and in. It's like slides and shit. It's epic. And it's like 4 or 5 metres high in the air. And so I took Bodie there and I did a little Insta story, did a poll just saying, is it a Gronkh move to come to McDonald's, use the playground, but not buy a single thing?

3:29

Tommy: I would say no. Like, I thought that was going to be the answer across the board. I was expecting a much sort of higher response of no.

3:36

Josh: I'll tell you what, your brother thinks yes.

3:39

Tommy: He thinks it's a Gronkh move.

3:40

Josh: There's a few people I'm disappointed with that have come through with the yes vote. Hayden Dibb, fuck you, Hayden Dibb.

3:46

Mason: Who else?

3:47

Josh: Andre Barber. Coconut Crew, go fuck yourself, mate.

3:51

Tommy: I feel the thing is, the reason I feel comfortable is I feel like I have a lifetime membership with McDonald's. Like, McDonald's is the one area that I can go to the toilet because it's almost like a Virgin Australia lounge. I feel like it's like, oh, hey John, how you going? Yeah, nothing today, just gonna—

4:06

Josh: A few other people I'm disappointed in.

4:07

Tommy: Pete Shepherd, are you really gonna go through the whole list?

4:10

Josh: BK, it's just because you're a vegan, you don't like the joint. Uh, who else here? Josh Atkinson, fuck you, mate.

4:15

Tommy: Is there any vegan option? I guess you can get chippies.

4:18

Josh: You can get a burger bun with no meat in it other than cheese.

4:24

Tommy: Can we do this? I've got a McDonald's— I've got another riddle for you soon, but let's do this. That's related to McDonald's.

4:30

Josh: I just want to say, um, 3D Dill and Mr. 97 had my back in the poll, which took us, uh, final consensus was 22 votes to 21 votes. So coming in at a 51% say no, you don't have to buy shit.

4:45

Tommy: I think the Daily Talk Show said yes, but it wasn't me.

4:49

Josh: Who was it?

4:49

Mason: Wasn't me.

4:50

George: Wasn't me.

4:51

Josh: And it wasn't me, then who the fuck was it?

4:53

Tommy: I don't know who it was. We have to double-check that.

4:55

Josh: Yeah, we can't work it out.

4:57

Tommy: No, well, we can at least cheque if it was yes, but I'm pretty sure it was. Anyway, okay, let's do the reveal. Should we stand up for it or no?

5:03

Josh: No, no, no. Okay, so let's just walk out towards you. Towards you.

5:07

Tommy: 1, 2, 3.

5:10

Josh: There it is.

5:11

Tommy: Was it as anticlimactic as you thought?

5:14

Josh: We don't have sound effects. We would love some. Can we just— there's 5 of us in this room. Just give it a clap. Thank you.

5:20

Tommy: It actually sounds quite good when you do that.

5:23

Josh: So this is our brand new branding for the Daily Talk Show.

5:28

Tommy: Pretty— Dyl did the design.

5:29

Josh: Yeah, mate, I don't care what they say about you. You're looking sharp today. You've had a fresh new haircut and you're a weapon when it comes to just getting shit done design-wise, life-wise.

5:42

Tommy: Can you just— can you describe the logo and the meaning behind it?

5:47

George: You, me?

5:48

Josh: Yeah, well, you designed it.

5:49

George: Yeah, I designed it.

5:50

Tommy: You are the Jony Ive of the show.

5:53

George: All right, let me get into persona.

5:55

Tommy: Okay, great.

5:55

George: Uh, no, I can't do that. Uh, it's— it encapsulates—

5:59

Tommy: go on.

6:03

George: Basically, the logo tries to capture the essence and like the principles of what Tommy and Josh and the daily talk show are all about. Mr. 97 included, because he's awesome.

6:13

Josh: If you can't say it's just a squidgey. Yeah, it's not.

6:16

George: It's not.

6:16

Tommy: But other than that, it's got a, it's got a strong blue. Yeah, we definitely don't have to— literally, you just tried a bunch of different things and it worked.

6:24

Josh: Yeah. Yeah. Sorry, you finished?

6:26

George: There was no real like process or purpose behind it. It was kind of throwing things around until we found something that looked good.

6:32

Tommy: Which is the values of our show.

6:34

George: Yeah. As well. It was, it was kind of haphazardly put together.

6:38

Tommy: And good tagline.

6:40

George: Then we kind of BS'd a little bit of stuff to kind of say pushing forward and forward thinking.

6:46

Josh: Yeah, yeah.

6:46

Tommy: That arrow there, the blue, that's looking forward.

6:50

Josh: Yeah. And which is also really represented through our new website. But how many logos do you think you've had created for multiple businesses? Just what's the number?

7:00

Tommy: Maybe 6.

7:01

Mason: Yeah.

7:01

Josh: Yeah, I'd be at about 6. My first T, Tom Jacket Personal Training.

7:09

Tommy: It was— You had your own logo?

7:10

Josh: Yeah, it was horrible.

7:11

Tommy: Josh Janson Productions had one, JJP altogether.

7:15

Josh: Fun Fit Health was my other business. Aussie Spunks. That was a stripping business. Frisbee and Co, my production company, and then big media company, and then the daily talk show. So including all of these, I've had 6.

7:28

Tommy: Yeah, it's pretty impressive.

7:30

Josh: I think you end up sort of attaching meaning to I think they're much like tattoos unless you kind of really are arty farty and you've been designing it yourself and you've brought in, you know, you've got your chakra because you love, you know, I don't know, channelling your chakras. But I think we attach meaning to the designs, which is, I think when I— Josh had like— I showed Conspiracy Jimmy and he said, tell me, run me through the meaning of it and stuff. I was like, I don't know, mate. I just got sent this from Brady Dill. But then I asked Dill when I got here, this was weeks and weeks ago, and he kind of went through and then you said before he started, I've got my thinking. I'll let you know after you finish, Dill, which I think I liked it. I liked the sort of where you land with it.

8:19

Tommy: Well, I feel like every single time I go to show the background of my phone, there's always a notification, which I really struggle with.

8:27

Josh: You don't need to worry now.

8:28

Tommy: It's right here. But the thing is that definitely I feel like I've gotten used used to it over time, like you like it more and more. But I need to take— I was telling Bree, yeah, she's like, can you spend a weekend where you're not thinking about the show? Because I was, I was quite, uh, I was thinking about it a lot.

8:43

Josh: Yeah, I, I was doing some sort of brainstorming stuff.

8:46

George: It's—

8:47

Josh: I think that's what happens, right?

8:48

Tommy: Um, well, it's because it's on my phone. That's why the thing is, every single time I'm just like, oh, The Shard, yeah, we're getting the new logo on Tuesday. And then I start thinking about like, oh I go down a rabbit hole. So what I'm going to do today is I'm going to update it to a photo of Bri and I.

9:02

Josh: Yeah, well, logos don't matter unless you like it, so we like it and that's all that matters, right?

9:07

Tommy: Are you ready for this, um, little game?

9:10

Josh: Oh yeah, okay.

9:12

Tommy: Okay, uh, I'll spell a word and you, you say, you, um, say the word. You say the word.

9:19

Josh: Yeah.

9:20

Tommy: M-C D-O-N-A-L-D-S.

9:30

Josh: McDonald's.

9:35

Tommy: Okay, ready for the next one?

9:36

Josh: I'm ready for the next one.

9:36

Tommy: Oh, actually no, I spelled it, uh, no, that's fine. And then M-A-C-D-D-G-L-E.

9:53

Josh: Mac. You can't say it, it's not a word.

9:54

Tommy: Oh, I've lost. G-L-E. No, no, you cooked it the first time, dude. He fucked it.

10:02

Josh: There was like— that was a nonsensical word. That wasn't a word.

10:06

Tommy: Yeah, no, hang on, let me do it again. You guys are annoying me. Okay, here we go. M-A-C. Yep. D-O-O-G-L-E.

10:17

Mason: G-L-E. McDougall.

10:17

Josh: Yeah, McDougall.

10:19

Tommy: Okay, M-A-C-H-I-N-E.

10:26

Josh: MacHine.

10:27

Tommy: It's machine.

10:28

Josh: Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, that's where you get— yeah, I just saw it on the Mac.

10:33

Tommy: Yeah, I saw it on an Instagram.

10:35

Mason: That's a good one.

10:36

Josh: I like that machine. Yeah, yeah, there's a little trick because you get so fucking caught up in the look of the first one and then you're like, oh, he's changed it to Mac.

10:44

Tommy: Well, it's like machine, like, uh, not machines. Now I've got it stuck in my head. That was actually one problem, you know, when you can do like, um, uh, what is it called where you like, uh, say a word and then someone says another word back? Yeah. And I would get transfixed on the word wallet. It doesn't matter what they would say, I'd say wallet back. We'll do it very quickly. I'll say a word.

11:05

George: Cup.

11:05

Mason: Hat.

11:06

Tommy: Sandwiches.

11:07

Josh: T-shirt.

11:09

Tommy: I've thrown myself by saying sandwiches. It's not very relevant. Do it again. Say another word.

11:13

Josh: It doesn't have to be relevant.

11:14

Tommy: Well, it has to be. Well, it should be somewhat connected, I think. Or the first thing that comes to mind, which is weird. Yeah, I said sandwiches.

11:21

Mason: Yeah.

11:21

Tommy: Go again.

11:21

Josh: Microphone.

11:23

Tommy: Fuck. See, I was going to say sandwiches again. For some reason I'm stuck on sandwiches. It's like the wallet gate. Let's try it one more time. You say a word.

11:31

Josh: Yep. Phone.

11:34

Tommy: You can just say it. Table tennis.

11:38

Josh: Microphone stand.

11:40

Tommy: Glass.

11:41

Josh: Hat.

11:42

Tommy: Shoes.

11:43

Josh: Teeth.

11:44

Tommy: Whitening.

11:45

Josh: Eyes.

11:46

Tommy: Nose.

11:47

Josh: Mac.

11:48

Tommy: Laptop.

11:49

Josh: Machine.

11:50

Tommy: McDonald's.

11:51

Josh: Camera.

11:52

Tommy: Phone.

11:53

Josh: Harry.

11:55

Tommy: Barry.

11:56

George: Larry.

11:57

Tommy: Sally.

11:58

Mason: There we go.

11:58

Tommy: That's a good game. I'm glad we did that.

12:03

Josh: I like it, but I don't like it.

12:04

Mason: Yeah.

12:05

Josh: I just want to keep playing it, but it's a bit silly.

12:07

Tommy: Yeah, I saw, um, silly. I saw Elton John: The Movie.

12:12

Josh: I didn't know there was one out.

12:13

Tommy: Rocketman.

12:14

Josh: Oh, okay, is that— but okay, now Rocketman's his song, but I wasn't— I saw Josh Peterman post about having seen it. I saw a trailer for it, dude out on the piano.

12:24

Tommy: Anyway, anyway, I'm telling you it's a movie.

12:26

Josh: I saw it. I know it's a movie, but you don't see movies, so I'm very surprised.

12:31

Tommy: That was great.

12:32

Josh: I mean, out of the movies you do choose, they're very questionable.

12:34

Tommy: Well, documentaries I typically watch biopics.

12:38

Josh: Is this a new thing?

12:39

Tommy: Well, musicals, I reckon. Anything that, that just leans into it. Not, it's not a film that just has a couple of songs. Yeah. The other one I'm interested in is the one where the guy goes back in time and he— no one knows Beatles, the Beatles exist. Do you know about this?

12:59

Josh: No, no one knows the Beatles exist.

13:01

Tommy: Well, so he, this guy's like playing a song It's a Beatles song. And they're like, oh my God, that's amazing. He's like, it's a Beatles song. And they're like, who? And so he becomes famous by just singing Beatles, The Beatles.

13:13

Josh: Yeah, this was kind of like my question of if you could go, if you could have knowledge about a company that no one else knew, sure, which would you choose? Would you create Google if no one knew what Google was? Would you create Facebook, Snapchat?

13:27

Tommy: I felt like I dreamt this. Is this a podcast or something as well?

13:30

Josh: Yeah, we did it on the show.

13:31

Tommy: Did we do it on our show?

13:32

Josh: Yeah, we did it on this show. Yeah, we did it. Even 3D Dills.

13:36

George: This is like episode 343 or 344.

13:39

Josh: What invention would you— I think it was the invention thing.

13:42

Tommy: Yeah.

13:42

Josh: What would be the invention that you would come up with? The toilet. You'd be, you know, if you created the— I think it was Thomas Crapper. Look up that. I always— there was, you know, those things you heard as a kid when you were a kid. It was like, oh, so how I remember it is a friend's, a family friend's grandfather was Thomas Crapper.

14:03

Tommy: Yeah, it's a bullshit story.

14:04

Josh: Something like that. Look up Thomas Crapper.

14:07

Tommy: Well, we had a, at our place we used to have a pool.

14:10

Mason: Yeah.

14:10

Tommy: And you know how there's the chemical so that if you piss in the pool it goes green? And I actually—

14:18

Josh: Doesn't exist.

14:19

Tommy: Well, this is the thing. I remember as a kid realising that my dad, you know, like when you have a realisation that your parents aren't as smart as you thought. And it was when Dad had the pool guy over. He goes, now, could we get some of the The chemical. And the guy was like, mate, that doesn't exist.

14:36

Josh: Was that the first time your dad worked out?

14:38

Tommy: Yeah, that's what's so embarrassing. Either that or the time that he measured how much grass that we needed for our— and he fucked it so bad that we needed to create this whole garden bed to sort of help save face.

14:53

Josh: We, um, that lie got really cemented for me when my cousin, uh, who move— he grew up in Australia, moved to London. He told me, it's like, yeah, over in England it's a thing. And then I was like, the pool thing? Yeah, the pool thing. He'll say it's red. Anything about Thomas Crapper, uh, Mr. 97?

15:12

Mason: So apparently he's an English plumber. Yeah, no, we cooked that, Josh. Um, but the company— he created a company that owns the world's first bath, toilet, and sink showroom. Okay, not the actual first toilet.

15:23

George: Yeah.

15:24

Tommy: I mean, so is the crap, is that connected in any way?

15:27

Josh: Yeah, I reckon you'd have to think I'm going to have a, doing a crapper.

15:31

Tommy: Doing a crap.

15:32

Josh: Yeah, but you can refer to the toilet as a crapper.

15:35

Tommy: Yeah, sure.

15:36

Josh: It's a real Aussie thing.

15:37

Tommy: You know how they say, like, if you've got a last name, you're more likely to become, like, if your last name's Osteo.

15:44

Mason: Yeah.

15:44

Tommy: You know, James Osteo, you're more likely to become an osteopath.

15:47

Josh: Yeah. I said something pretty dumb over the weekend and you know when you realise you've said it As you're just saying the words, you're like, oh my God, that's how I sound. I was saying, I was remembering a dessert. I blew out this fucking weekend. I went, I, it was a massacre.

16:01

Tommy: I only blew out Saturday and then Sunday.

16:05

Josh: Good boy.

16:06

Tommy: No, I just realised how bad I've been. It's just my, my pants. I caught up with Peter Shepherd and we were talking food. I, I found a great, um, I'm going to start eating eggplant. Okay, great. 10 minutes in the microwave anyway.

16:21

Josh: No worries. But yeah, so I was— we were just sniffing around at my mum and dad's place wanting to eat some naughty food after we'd made some homemade pizzas. And I was like trying to think about what could we make in this house, like what ingredients. It was almost the— what was that, um, Surprise Chef? It was like we take the ingredients in your house and we make something awesome.

16:40

Tommy: That's the Stone— what's his name?

16:42

Josh: I can't remember his name. Fuck. It was a show when we were young.

16:46

Tommy: It was Curtis Stone. Oh, Curtis Stone did the American version.

16:49

Josh: Okay.

16:49

Tommy: Okay. He goes and says, oh, what's in here? I'll make something for you with whatever's in your trolley.

16:53

Josh: Yeah. So I was like remembering this treat that we'd had at my old house when I was growing up and in the kitchen. I just remember such vivid memories of cooking this thing. I was like, oh, what is it? What's the name of it? It's like, they're like dumplings that are like cooking in this golden syrup. My brother goes, You mean golden syrup dumplings?

17:12

George: Is that a thing?

17:13

Tommy: It's a thing. I didn't get that done because I didn't know that it existed.

17:16

Josh: Well, for someone who had it a lot of times as a kid. And so, I did a bit of researching. Golden syrup dumplings is an Australian treat.

17:24

Tommy: So, it's sweet.

17:25

Josh: Oh, they're like pretty much all the ingredients are milk, self-raising flour, sugar, butter and golden syrup. And so, They're just bread dumplings and you just create these things and you cook them in this like pot that has sort of syrup and the milk and you just pop them in. And you—

17:46

Tommy: did you make them?

17:47

Josh: I didn't, didn't have the ingredients, but I went down the rabbit hole. Nothing. I went home and ate ice cream when I got back home. It's really disappointing. I just felt guilty. But I think we should do golden syrup dumplings on a Fat Friday, on a Fat Friday for, um, 3D Deal because it Can you just look up that, or has he got it?

18:06

Mason: I had it up. You were saying the recipe is spot on.

18:09

Josh: Yeah, but thanks, mate. But does it say about it's an Australian treat?

18:14

Mason: Is it Aussie?

18:14

Josh: Because I don't think there's much Australian stuff out.

18:17

Tommy: Lamingtons.

18:17

Josh: Yeah, lamingtons, meat pie.

18:19

Tommy: But no, like sweet stuff. Pavlova.

18:22

Josh: Oh yeah, I guess. Oh, we're pretty good.

18:25

Tommy: But do you think this is an Asian-inspired?

18:28

Josh: Yeah, they're ripping off the dumpling.

18:31

Tommy: Yeah.

18:31

Josh: I mean, Russians do dumplings, uh, Chinese do dumplings. There's a bunch of people that do dumplings.

18:37

Tommy: It wouldn't be my go-to dessert.

18:40

Josh: No, no.

18:40

Tommy: And that's the thing, that's like, I know that I'm just eating for the sake of eating when I'm having golden syrup dumplings, because at that point I'm just having it for the, for the sugar.

18:50

Josh: Yeah, definitely, definitely.

18:51

Tommy: I watched a doco, um, have you heard of Hotel Kulghadi?

18:56

George: No.

18:57

Tommy: It's this doco where these two Finnish girls— is that how you say if they're Finns? Finnish?

19:02

George: Yeah, Finnish.

19:03

Tommy: Two Finnish girls, uh, go to a country town in Australia, in a mining town.

19:09

Josh: Oh no, bad choice.

19:11

Tommy: And they work in the bar, and it is the most horrendous thing you've ever seen.

19:16

Josh: It's real?

19:17

Tommy: Yeah, it's a documentary.

19:18

Josh: And so what, it's about their experience?

19:20

Tommy: Yes.

19:21

Josh: Like, the mining stuff is Like, I've had mates work up on the mines. Most— my friend, he now lives over in South America, but he spent quite a bit of time on these mines, and he said, all these idiots here are spending their money on hookers and alcohol. Yeah, he's like, I'm saving. He bought a house in Frankston. It was a lovely place with the view of the water and shit, but he was saving his cash. Yeah, years ago.

19:45

Tommy: Yeah.

19:46

Josh: And so you can— I mean, if you just extrapolate from men like that and imagine throwing alcohol in at a bar, I can imagine it would be fucking disgusting.

19:54

Tommy: Well, yeah, a lot of like alcoholics and stuff like that. But it's on Amazon Prime. I finally used my Amazon Prime account for video. You can stream, you can watch videos.

20:04

Josh: Well, didn't you have an Amazon Prime account? Isn't that just for delivery?

20:08

Tommy: Yeah, but you also get, um, this is an integration, it sounds like it, but you also get videos.

20:12

Josh: They just throw that in.

20:13

Tommy: Not another teen movie I watched. Do you guys know Mr. 97? Do you know that film?

20:20

Josh: No, no, it's very old. Do you know Scream?

20:25

Mason: Uh, I've, I've seen like the COVID of it.

20:26

Josh: Oh, you've seen it?

20:27

Tommy: Watched it?

20:28

Josh: Yeah.

20:28

Tommy: What do you mean the COVID of it? Well, just like a Blockbuster.

20:31

Mason: No, it's actually just online, just like an IMDb and stuff.

20:34

Josh: Okay, the kid hasn't seen a physical cassette tape or VHS tape in his life.

20:39

Tommy: Have you ever actually been to a Blockbuster?

20:41

Mason: Yeah, I used to go back in the day.

20:42

Josh: Did you— have you inserted a a tape into a machine?

20:47

Mason: Not that I can remember. I think we went straight to DVD.

20:49

Tommy: Have you blown into a cartridge? No. Yeah, do you know what I mean though?

20:56

Josh: Yeah, no, he's a privileged DVD. Yeah, you know, yeah, you'd press the button, it would flip it back and—

21:03

Tommy: yeah, for all the Sega and shit like that.

21:06

Josh: Yeah, I mean, gone are the times of that for Mr. 97-0.

21:10

Tommy: To be honest, I'm glad that Blockbuster doesn't exist now based on just my ability to do admin. Well, I just think I'd get so many fines. Yeah, yeah.

21:20

Josh: Well, I mean, I was surprised last night, speaking of admin, when you posted a photo of our mate Seth Godin. Um, and what did you write on there? Was that you even?

21:31

Tommy: Yeah, Monday Night Inspiration, rewriting book inspiration or something.

21:35

Josh: Yeah, I mean, I tend to not bring it up because I just feel a bit, you know, I feel for you, bro.

21:41

George: Yeah.

21:41

Tommy: Why do you feel— everything's fine.

21:43

Josh: Okay. No, as long as everything's fine.

21:45

Tommy: Can you actually explain what's going on for people who have just joined us in the last 3 months?

21:50

Josh: Seth Godin is a guru in the marketing space. He's written multiple bestselling books.

21:56

Tommy: 18, I think.

21:57

Josh: He's someone we look to as very inspirational and very wise. And we had the opportunity of interviewing him at his office in just outside of New York City. So much fun. Yeah, I can't wait to— I want to go back over the footage just because I was doing a bit of vlogging, but we haven't really released much of that footage.

22:14

Tommy: But it was such a big deal for us and we went there and it was in like Hastings-on-Hudson is the town and it's like greenery and it's like it's just outside Manhattan. It's sick.

22:25

Josh: It's, it's worlds apart from the hustle and bustle of New York City, but it's only 45 minutes.

22:30

Tommy: It's like poets and shit there. It's just like got a really cool vibe.

22:33

Josh: Lots of famous sort of old movie stars and shit live out there. Which you can see the appeal because then you can just go to New York City and fucking have a bit of fun and then come home. Anyway, it was at the time where his book hadn't even come out yet. This Is Marketing by Seth Godin. And we saw the book in person there. But then we, you know, we, you bought a copy when we got back to Australia.

22:54

Tommy: Is it funny that I should, we should have asked for one because I just realised I was like, he was holding the book in the photo, but it probably just didn't feel appropriate. Yeah.

23:02

George: Yeah.

23:02

Josh: He gave us some other stuff. He gave us other books. So, I mean, he gave He was so generous.

23:06

Tommy: Yeah.

23:07

Josh: So generous with his time and giving us stuff. Anyway, you somehow made this promise that you're going to rewrite the whole entire Seth Godin book because you want to take it in. You want to write the words that he's, he's written to really absorb them into your mind.

23:23

Tommy: Well, I was, I was reading a book that was talking about, if you want to, it was talking about sales letters, using it like in the '70s or '80s or whatever. And they were saying, take the best sales letters and rewrite them and then you'll retain it. And at the time I was about to read This Is Marketing. And so I said, rather than just reading it, I'm going to rewrite the whole book.

23:47

Josh: I mean, it's crazy. It's like a 200-something page, 300-something page. It'll take you months and months and you've, you've made promises. You've made promise after promise and you want to deliver on that promise. And that's why I was happy that you posted that photo yesterday, because it makes me feel like you're really sort of front-footing it and making it happen.

24:08

Tommy: It's the first step for me to starting to put pen to paper.

24:12

Josh: You mean you haven't put pen to paper?

24:13

Tommy: No.

24:14

Josh: Well, dude, it's the 11th of June.

24:15

Tommy: But the thing is, if I did, uh, if I did 15 pages a day starting today, I'll be fine.

24:22

Josh: I'd love to see a montage of the 'If I did X, it would be done by X.' Just a montage of the 10 times he said, 'If I start tomorrow, you'll be done by then.' But I might actually start doing, um, the livestream.

24:36

Tommy: You know, we spoke about livestreaming, and so I'd livestream it if I was writing it.

24:42

Josh: I did think, um, did you see Dan Mace, uh, who's a YouTuber, has, um, got this new sort of season 2 of his videos that he's releasing on YouTube, and it's all about people who have ideas that they haven't completed yet, and he's going to them in completing their idea.

24:57

Tommy: Really?

24:58

Josh: And he's flying all around the world to help people achieve their ideas. And I thought—

25:02

Tommy: made a shit video for him though, wouldn't it?

25:05

Josh: I mean, the travelling here and the stupidity of it and what we've got going on here.

25:10

Tommy: And you know what other things that— what other admin did we say that we're going to do? What other promises? Have we sent out the squeegees?

25:17

Mason: No, not yet.

25:17

Josh: Oh, oh, guys, just to finish off, we've, um, another promise we've come through on.

25:23

Tommy: So I made this promise one Sunday night where there was a new app called Swoot which is a podcasting app, and I said that if you recommended us on Spoot, we'd give you a hat.

25:34

Josh: And so we officially have— we didn't have any hats, we didn't even know where to get them from. The logo wasn't complete yet. It was—

25:43

Mason: I don't think it even started.

25:44

Josh: No, it was a complete shemozzle. But like all good things, you know, I was still in Canada.

25:48

Tommy: Think about that. It's been a promise. It's taken a while, but we're here.

25:53

Josh: We're here. And so if this is any sign of fulfilling promises, then I'm happy with this. So we've got a bunch of hats, the Daily Talk Show, the brand new logo that's on the back wall is on your noggin, and they're trucker caps, and they were delivered, hand delivered by Hayden Dibb. And as always, Hayden brings somebody with him uninvited. It was his dad. So he got me on a technicality once again because family members you can bring.

26:18

Tommy: Yeah.

26:18

Josh: So fuck you, Hayden.

26:20

Tommy: And so the hats, well, can we send them out today?

26:23

Mason: Yep. Yeah.

26:24

Tommy: Also, thanks to Mr. 97 for, um, I got a notification. I had New Balance shoes that I bought last year, needed to return them because they were faulty, but they got me on a technicality, which is I don't like admin and I'm never going to send them back.

26:42

Josh: Which is how most companies like the Mr. 97, the, the whack things you bring up, the things that you know of, like the IKEA mattress return policy.

26:53

Mason: Oh yeah, 365 days, change your mind.

26:55

Josh: Yeah, slept in it for 364.

26:58

Mason: You're gone.

26:58

Josh: Yeah, not happy.

27:00

Tommy: I mean, the ultimate— this is why we can't have nice things.

27:03

Josh: Yeah, exactly. When, when Gronks take care of— when Gronks utilise the policy that was created purely for marketing purposes.

27:11

Tommy: Yeah, it's disgusting. Yeah, he's definitely, definitely doing a bit of that. But the good thing is the New Balance shoes. Yeah, I think it was in December or whatever that, like, things are happening. I think that this 6 or 7 month cycle that we're working on. December, I think I spoke to New Balance. Yeah, sent them. When did you send them? Friday? Yeah, Friday last, and they've got them. So we'll see, they're going to be like, yeah, I've got a notification. So we'll see, see how that goes. So, so that's, that's good news. So promises are being, being made and upheld, and so we'll get those hats to everyone, which I'm pumped about. So any other— oh yeah, we've got a little bit of admin.

27:49

Josh: It's all coming together, guys.

27:50

Tommy: Uh, let's have a look. I'm just going into, uh, our notes here. Uh From Bernard. Bernard says, every time the heater do something, does the whole like, uh, electricity in this building shut?

28:03

Josh: No, I don't think so.

28:04

Tommy: Okay, I don't think so. Uh, Bernard says, great show guys. This was, um, when was this from? '97?

28:09

Mason: Uh, I think it might have been either Friday's episode or Monday's.

28:14

Tommy: Okay. Uh, he says, great show guys. As a web designer, the website talk is so satisfying, and to be honest, the current site gave me a bit of anxiety. Been thinking how a promise page and listener map page would be. Also, why not livestream the security footage 24/7? Haha. #RealTrumanShow.

28:37

George: I love that.

28:37

Tommy: I've never actually seen Truman Show.

28:38

Josh: Truman Show, it's, it's basically you're in the Truman Show. They're in this big dome. Actually, I'm fucking ruining it for you.

28:44

Tommy: What do you mean? You're not meant to know that it was a dome?

28:46

Josh: Well, you kind of— it evolves, but he's in a dome. The premise is in this big dome that he's on Earth but then they're all actors except this one guy, Truman. But then he starts to fucking catch on. Jim Carrey. It's an amazing—

29:00

Tommy: it's a movie, I know, a TV show.

29:02

Josh: It's a— if you're willing to fucking watch Not Another Teen Movie and not The Truman Show— The Truman Show, dude, is an iconic film. The premise of it, it's like The Matrix. That's why I get so pissed off, is because these ideas Do you know the thing with Matrix and all these things you're talking about?

29:21

Tommy: Yeah, they're not on Amazon Prime Video.

29:24

Josh: The ones that you get on Amazon Prime, most of the things are on Netflix. Matrix was for a while, but then they take it off. There's a bunch of films that go on and come off and go in and out.

29:34

Tommy: All right, we don't have to get that angry.

29:36

Josh: There is a very annoying—

29:37

Tommy: there is a good documentary that I'll mention. I think it's called Josh 2.0. I'm not even joking. Uh, yeah, it's, uh 2015, was it? But, uh, basically it was a guy who had security cameras set up and he could live— he was one of the original live streaming dudes. Very interesting.

29:56

Josh: We, um, like what we're doing, I mean, this is daily vlogging, essentially daily Dear Diaries every single day. That's what this shit is more becoming, just every single day talking about it. Yeah, I don't think we think about what it means in terms of how much people know about us.

30:15

Tommy: Yeah, I was thinking that.

30:16

Josh: Just the detail, the granular detail about our existence, which I'm cool with. Like, I think the format is very much controlled by us, you know. So I don't know. Fuck.

30:30

Tommy: Yeah, there'll be a time where— because I was thinking about that eventually with the website, you're going to be able to search and we're plugging in the transcription of every single episode. So you could search a topic on thedailytalkshow.com. This is coming in July. Yeah. And you'll be able to bring up a show. The thing is that like we said, some dumb shit in the last 366 episodes.

30:54

Josh: I mean, just even the last couple of episodes, not specifics that I know that I can think of, but I just listen back sometimes. I mean, Amy's listening to our show quite frequently, but I just listen. I'm just like, oh, I'm a fucking idiot. But this is how you learn, right? It's like this. It's rapid learning when you say shit that just doesn't feel good the next day.

31:11

Tommy: But imagine what you could put together, like a great highlights reel of like why, why Tommy's a racist or something.

31:18

Josh: And then we'll just put together how I like Trump. Yeah, you can imagine. I've said the word Trump many times. Yeah, it's full on. I mean, you saw the Joe Rogan AI produced segments. It's so, so, it's so close to being just flawless. Scary, but you know what, be right.

31:35

Tommy: What's the worst that could happen?

31:36

Josh: Yeah, fuck yeah.

31:39

Tommy: I feel like that could be a good grab when something goes really bad. We can put together all the what's the worst that could happen into a montage. It's a daily talk show. Hi@thedailytalkshow.com is the email address. No, he says we didn't get any emails, did we, over the long weekend?

31:51

Mason: Nah, no emails.

31:52

Tommy: We were so funny about doing the, uh, pre— we pre-recorded Monday to have the long weekend off, and I was Bracing myself for everyone complaining. No one did.

32:03

Josh: People have lives. Yeah.

32:05

Tommy: Who would have thought?

32:05

Josh: We take it pretty seriously.

32:06

Tommy: It's a daily talk show. Also, thanks to the bearded fan who says enjoying the show all the way from South Africa.

32:12

Josh: Yeah.

32:13

Tommy: Like the studio setup.

32:14

Josh: Oh, and Display Labs who created this fucking awesome sign for us.

32:18

Tommy: Yeah, it is epic. They've done a great job and they mounted it. And I actually, you'll notice whenever there's a task that requires multiple people to make a decision, my go-to is to walk away.

32:28

Josh: No, I appreciate that. You're about as handy as—

32:32

Tommy: Well, because it's also like, oh, where do you guys want it? And I feel like there's too many— there can be too many cooks. And so it was good.

32:38

Josh: I appreciate it.

32:38

Tommy: I heard them say, oh, it looks awesome. And then I felt like I could come back down and say, but go to our YouTube channel. Also give us a like and subscribe. The thing is that when I said it last time, it had significantly more likes. So if you've made it this far, give us a like.

32:51

Josh: I think also, can you give us— can you tell us what you interpret as the meaning of this logo? Then maybe we can We can start using that spiel to people when they say, what is this logo? So tell us, what do you think is the meaning behind the logo?

33:04

Tommy: Oh, fuck, before we go, you probably didn't see it because I saw the email, uh, and when I see an email, you delete it. No, I don't delete it, but then you miss it. Uh, it's very good. It's from, uh, Alexandra. Did you see this?

33:18

Josh: Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

33:20

Tommy: Uh, she's talking about— she said, uh, I'll get straight to the point.

33:25

Josh: Mr. 97, this is your job to find.

33:27

Tommy: This should have been emails.

33:28

Josh: You said we got no emails over the weekend.

33:30

Tommy: Well, we're doing Blame Tuesday, which is a new benchmark where you blamed you and 3D Dill for— what was it?

33:37

Josh: Oh no, no, we forgot to put the bins out and we haven't taken them out in 2 weeks. And so Dill was here first.

33:44

Tommy: Yeah, but you specifically said, you know what, like, I mean, it's not just your— like, not just to blame you. No, no, no.

33:51

Josh: I was annoyed at myself. I was blaming myself because I was meaning to text him yesterday because he was coming in and I was like, fuck. Oh, it's just annoying.

33:58

Tommy: Anyway, so blaming 97 for not putting this in. But he said, but Alexandra said, she said, I'll get straight to the point. I would love to send you guys some cookies. I believe I've found the best. I should go actually back, read the first line.

34:11

Josh: Yeah.

34:11

Tommy: Hi, just listening to the most recent episode and was really inspired by Maryanne.

34:16

Josh: The Uber Eats mystery delivery that we got.

34:20

Tommy: I will get straight to the point. I would love to send you guys some cookies. I believe I found the best recipe and they are perfect for Fat Fridays. I'm a big baker and cookies and brownies are my favourite thing that I hope to turn this passion into something in the near future. I can assure you this is legit, but I can completely understand if you feel it uneasy about some random bird sending you food. My Instagram is, and she put her Instagram, my Twitter is, if you want info on me, let me know. Thanks. I actually went and the first thing I did was she sent that email at 12:21 PM on Saturday.

34:57

Mason: Yeah.

34:57

Tommy: By 12:30 we were following her.

34:59

Josh: Oh, great.

35:00

Tommy: And she's, yeah, she's fine. Yeah. I mean, I can't tell whether she's, she would put something in the brownies, but I'm willing to roll the dice. If we were in this, it's a funny story. If we were in this space, if I shit my pants because of some bad brownies.

35:12

Josh: Oh yeah, I was thinking more like, um, naughty brownies.

35:15

Tommy: Anthrax. Oh no, like anthrax is pretty naughty. That will take you out.

35:19

Josh: Like Amsterdam kind of brownies.

35:21

George: Weed brownies.

35:22

Josh: Weed brownies. But we're not in America. Like, I think it'd be much easier to do it over in the States.

35:27

Tommy: Do you remember when anthrax was a big thing?

35:29

Josh: Yeah, it used to get sent in the mail.

35:32

Tommy: Yeah, it's really—

35:33

Josh: luckily no one uses the mail anymore.

35:34

Tommy: Yes, it's very— other than the PO Box. PO Box 400, Abbotsford, Victoria 3067.

35:40

Josh: Josh, much gets done by anthrax. Yeah, the damn PO box. No, but I want to take her up on those, um, the brownie and cookies thing. This is awesome. I love brownies and cookies.

35:49

Tommy: It's a daily talk show. We'll see tomorrow, guys.

35:50

Josh: See you guys.

Listen to this episode
