Sunday With Our Better Halves

Josh: The Daily Talk Show. It's a Daily Talk Show, episode 386.

Tommy: What's going on, guys? What's happening? Weekend banter.

Josh: It's Sunday, trying to get a bit of a chill vibe. Also, when we yell, it gets too echoey in here.

Tommy: Yeah, this is our second weekend banter. Welcome to the show, Bree and Amy.

Amy: Thanks for having us.

Tommy: Glad to be here. The better halves.

Josh: Yeah, no, it's actually their Little Mix. They're actually—

Amy: could you—

Josh: I was going to pretend that they were from Little Mix.

Tommy: Oh, we've got a storey about Little Mix. So when I was working at KISS FM, Amy was on the street team. It's not how we met, didn't start dating the girl from the street team. But tell us, Amy, what happened?

Josh: Are you nervous? I'm a little bit nervous.

Tommy: I just had a moment where I realised I dated a girl from the street team, so Amy's probably remembering that as I'm saying it.

Amy: I totally forgot.

Breana: Damn it. She doesn't care.

Tommy: You've stuffed it. No, um, so, uh, Amy, what happened with Little Mix?

Amy: Well, I was in there to see Tommy. He was in the airlock room. Um, I just heard you saying that on Jules's episode, so I've got the right terminology.

Josh: Studioairlock.com. I have that domain name.

Tommy: She wasn't asking, dude.

Amy: So we were in the airlock and then Little Mix came in and I think they thought that I was a helper. I'm a helpy person, so they were kind of right. And one of them just kind of turned to me and was like, can you get me a teaspoon for my tea? And I was like, oh, and the producers all looked at me and they were like, please. And I was like, okay. And another girl was like, and I need a sugar. And I was like, okay. Yeah, not on the clock, but just, I need a sugar, please.

Breana: Yeah. Or I need a sugar.

Amy: I need a sugar. It was early in the morning, I guess.

Tommy: I mean, I had a great bit of banter with them. I can't remember what I was talking about. Doing something, we're doing some party trick in the studio. It's classic, classic radio party tricks in the studio.

Josh: Actually, that reminds me, last night when we're back here late, when I was doing some editing, we went on a tangent. I think you'd left and 3D Dill, Mr. 97, and I were searching Fefe and Jewel's acoustic covers that I filmed.

Tommy: Mate, did you film the Ed Sheeran one?

Josh: Yes.

Tommy: That was shorty get down. Yeah, that was some of the best.

Josh: Thank you.

Tommy: No, no, no, no.

Josh: Sorry. I can see how when I sing and she said that was really good, how I got confused.

Amy: But it also shows how supportive she is in general all the time.

Tommy: Absolutely. So if you've just tuned into this show for the first time, these lovely ladies are a significant part. This is almost our first presidential meeting of Big Media Company.

Josh: Oh yeah, that's very true.

Tommy: The, the 4 presidents.

Josh: We did go to, um, uh, what was the place that we ate at?

Breana: Uh, the Espi.

Josh: Oh yeah, that was, that was nice.

Tommy: Mason had his first wine. That was the first day.

Josh: Yeah, it was his first time eating.

Breana: Did he have a wine or a sip?

Tommy: No, no, I didn't have one. I didn't have one. You could pick up bread. Just a sip. And he was just— then he had his first Kugelkopf, a German cake, which you like too. There's a lot of, a lot of firsts going on. But, um, how are we feeling about this episode?

Amy: Good. I got a bit nervous actually when you were like, all right, are we ready? 3, 2, 1. And I was like, oh, I feel like I need to wee. You know that feeling?

Breana: I know that's what I get like too.

Tommy: So you're going to have to leave to go wee. Is that what you say?

Amy: I'm holding it in.

Breana: It does feel unnatural speaking into microphones, having a camera filming us.

Tommy: Yeah.

Amy: Even though we talk to you all the time.

Breana: Yeah, it feels weird.

Tommy: I mean, we have done that many episodes that we, it is normal. It feels very normal.

Josh: Well, Bree had some preparation this morning. I did a facial. Oh, so she did a facial for today?

Amy: Yes.

Breana: Okay, but I did a facial and then Josh— I was then working on my laptop on the couch. Josh came in and goes, what's wrong with your face? I said, what?

Josh: The facial was off at this point.

Breana: I'd taken the face mask off by this point. I go, what do you mean? He goes, what have you done? I said, I've done nothing. He's like, no, you've done something. And my face was completely red rash.

Tommy: Oh no.

Breana: Red all over my cheeks.

Josh: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I nearly thought we would have had to cancel tonight. Really? Because I feel like there's a lot of people who would be— It was very extra. But there'd be a lot of people who do that, right? Like they're doing something that they're not used to, so they go all out and it ends up backfiring.

Tommy: What happens if you fuck a spray tan before a night out?

Amy: I did. For my hens, I did a practise one for the wedding and thank God I didn't leave it for the wedding because I was just Oompa Loompa and streaky. Horrible.

Tommy: You rocked up We were doing the DFO shoot. Remember that?

Josh: Were you there? Oh, maybe I wasn't.

Amy: And the Oompa Loompa that rocked up was me.

Tommy: I'm pretty sure you remember. DFO Essendon. Now maybe you didn't. Maybe you weren't around then.

Josh: That was hurtful.

Tommy: No, you probably said, I don't want to do it.

Josh: Yeah, it was true.

Tommy: I've thrown the towel in, guys.

Josh: No. Well, to be clear, that job had its challenges and you had said yes to it early on and it wasn't like— and we decided to split it 50/50, the job.

Tommy: And then it was a blow up. It just took too long.

Josh: Long. And then so I had to say, look guys, I'm throwing in the towel. I'm out. But you did a good job. You met some great cinematographers and stuff in the process.

Tommy: We work with Sylvia Jeffries, Dan from Cloakroom. Anyway, you rocked up that day.

Josh: That was very Inside Baseball.

Tommy: It totally was. It was you and I catching up. How are you, mate?

Josh: Yeah, it's really good.

Tommy: You good?

Josh: Yeah, I'm good.

Tommy: Okay, good. We caught up. Anyway, you rocked up and I remember seeing you. You were so tanned.

Amy: Yeah.

Tommy: You were just outrageously tanned.

Amy: It was ridiculous. I ended up just going pasty to the wedding because I was like, can't risk it. That was so bad.

Breana: But white makes you look tanned anyway.

Josh: What are you— oh, wearing white.

Tommy: I thought you meant being white.

Josh: I was like, that's racist.

Breana: I can remember once I got a— this is not— my spray tan was great, but I was wearing a dress that had an open back and I think I forgot to bring, you know, those like cup things that you're meant to wear when you don't wear a bra, but you can like wear it on your cup ones.

Tommy: They look like, um, Fillet?

Breana: Fillet?

Josh: Yeah, like chicken fillets.

Tommy: Is that just the silly name that the gals call them?

Josh: Yeah. Have you got your chicken fillets? I think that's a— but that's actually a brand as well, maybe.

Breana: But I'd forgotten, and so I was wearing this dress and I needed something. So Josh had some duct tape in his bag.

Josh: Oh yeah.

Breana: And I could— I was just like, you know what, I just don't feel comfortable. I'm just going to strap myself in.

Josh: Gaffer tape.

Breana: So completely, like, yeah, gaffer tape across my chest. And I can remember, like, by the end of the night—

Amy: How was pulling it off like?

Josh: Yeah, well, she doesn't have nipples anymore.

Breana: I completely took skin off ripping off the tape, and I just had these like white like bands across my body of this like tan. That was— yeah, it was terrible.

Josh: We do weird things when it comes to big events. I was just—

Breana: it worked though. It like held the whole night. Gaffer tape is really strong.

Amy: And you only care about that event. You don't care about after.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah. The only weird thing about big events for you is you don't go.

Josh: No, I get weird when I do go to them. Remember your dad's wedding? Your dad's wedding?

Tommy: Yes.

Josh: What happened?

Breana: Do you want to tell it?

Josh: No, you can tell it because I don't really remember. But you were saying that—

Breana: Back in the day I worked at Bras and Things down in Yonge Plaza. Oh. And we're— I can't remember. I don't know if you knew my manager. Anyway, basically I worked at Bras and Things. My dad was getting married.

Tommy: Wasn't Josh your manager?

Josh: I would be a great manager at Bras and Things.

Tommy: I think.

Josh: Absolutely.

Tommy: That's going to look great on you.

Breana: Yeah. So pretty much what happened is we had my dad's wedding on the weekend and Josh came away with us and he gave me a gift and I opened up the gift, like, which is— I don't even know why he gave me a gift at my dad's wedding, but you did. It was a red lace G-string and a red lace bra. But he had been into my work and got a consult from my manager, like, oh, like, what would Bri like? So she fully helped him find this. Red, racy.

Josh: There's nothing better than a dirty night than at your dad's wedding.

Amy: How did you feel when you opened it?

Breana: I was like, oh, I thought, that's lovely that he's got me a gift and he's really tried.

Tommy: I think it takes a certain type of a man to buy lingerie for a woman. There's two things. He's a big sleazebag or he's got no clue. Yeah, at all.

Breana: You were just a little bit talky and cute, and I just think it was lovely. That's nice. And you got me a gold necklace with like a little love heart and it had a little diamond in it.

Tommy: Mate, what happened?

Josh: I went all out for you for the wedding.

Amy: I don't think Tommy's ever bought me a diamond.

Tommy: No, never.

Josh: I'm sure it was a cubic zirconia. Definitely.

Breana: Yeah, probably.

Josh: Anything that I've ever bought is definitely cubic zirconia.

Tommy: So, I got you, Josh, last night to— the other night to download—

Josh: More ethical as well. More ethical.

Tommy: The other night to download a sleep recorder. So, Basically activates if there's any noise during the night.

Josh: Yes.

Tommy: Any noise, it turns on.

Josh: It would go crazy at our place because we have a lot of people. Like, I had to call triple zero not last night, the night before.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: A lot of action always happening.

Tommy: The reason I asked you to do it was because I've been— Am I quite active in my sleep?

Amy: Yes.

Tommy: I am.

Breana: Oh, did you record last night?

Josh: No. Oh, well, we'll get to that.

Tommy: Well, so, Amy, what happened the other night?

Amy: 2 nights ago, well, 2 nights ago, Tommy turned his lamp on in the middle of the night.

Josh: And is it a touch lamp? What sort of lamp is it?

Amy: No, it's one that you like, the switch is on the cord.

Tommy: And it's actually in an annoying spot. Like, I get annoyed every time I go because, like, oh, the cord's falling down the side again, you know.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, I've nearly dislocated a shoulder doing that before.

Amy: It's not ideal.

Josh: No.

Amy: So he's turned on the light in the middle of the night, and I and I didn't even open my eyes. You know how it gets really like hard to open your eyes. And I was like, Tommy, can you please turn off the light? And he goes, no.

Tommy: And I said, sounds about right.

Amy: Okay. But I also, I've had previous experiences with Tommy's like sleeping self and he is an asshole. So I wasn't offended because I'm like, oh, I bet he's asleep. I'm like, Tommy, can you please turn off the light? He's like, no, you just don't want to get up. And I was like, which is how he talks to me in the morning, but less aggressive. He's like, Amy, can you get out of bed? We need to get out of bed. And I was like, no, I don't want to get up because it's not the morning yet. Can you please turn off the light? And you're like, no. And then so I was like, oh, maybe if I try to ask him questions, he might like realize, wake up and realise it's a bit dumb. So I was like, why did you turn on the light? And you couldn't answer it. You're like, oh. I said, can you, darling, it's the middle of the night, can you please turn it off? And you were like, okay. And then you went and turned it off and we went to sleep and it was fine. And then in the morning I was like, Tommy, do you remember that you turned the light on? No idea. But we did wake up like maybe 3 weeks ago and the light was just on.

Tommy: That's what I've actually only realised that as I brought up this, that I said, darling, just now. Just now, I was just wanting to talk about dreams and shit, but I think I'm fucked. I think I'm turning on the light in the middle of the night. I think I actually get like this when I've got a bit going on in my head.

Amy: You're like, oh, gotta get up and go.

Tommy: Yeah, got lots on and I, and I just need to— there's lots of things I need to work out.

Josh: When you hear clanking and there's 10 buckets, you know that it's the barefoot work's gotten to your head.

Tommy: But I definitely, this happens when I think a lot. And so I've been turning on the light.

Josh: Yeah. That's fucking weird. So you told me to download the app and so I set it up. Problem being it was interfering with my audiobook. So when I, every time I turned on my audiobook, it disengaged the recording. And so then.

Breana: So you turned it off or is this going to be a reveal that you've got something?

Josh: No, no, no. So I did it like 3 times and then I really like, I thought it was. You don't want to wait for the reveal.

Amy: I know where this is going. No, there's no reveal.

Josh: It didn't record.

Tommy: What's it?

Josh: Because I need a baby needs to sleep with these audiobooks.

Tommy: So I did this on Shepparton Radio, not to bring up past, but I was on radio in Shepparton. But it used to be free, so it was a completely free app.

Josh: I couldn't believe this. You only get the first 2 hours. Don't you think that the best bits are going to be after the 2 hours?

Breana: That's how they get you.

Tommy: Here's the fucked up bit. They give you your full, they give it to you. But it's locked off. So you see all this action behind the wall. So you see the paywall comes on at 4 hours in or whatever it is. And then you see the bits spikes at 3 AM and they're like, oh, I could have listened to that $5.

Josh: But wouldn't you be pissed paying $5 to hear yourself fart at 4? It's so annoying. It's like, that's an expensive fart sound. But when you— You don't pay per sound effect, I'm guessing. Like you don't pay per sound. No, you just pay a once-off fee and then you can listen to as many farts as you want.

Amy: Unlock full version $5.99.

Tommy: $2.99, but I've got a few things behind the paywall.

Josh: You've definitely not paid for it.

Breana: So you haven't paid yet?

Tommy: I haven't paid yet.

Josh: Of course he hasn't.

Tommy: No, because what annoys me is I had it years ago and I caught some really good shit. It was just, it was really funny. Like I was saying some weird stuff that we then played over the radio. But in the app, I will say the best thing about the app, you can look around the world, you can go Argentina, just start with A, Argentina, Australia, all the A's. Into B's, all the countries.

Josh: What did you just say?

Tommy: All the A's.

Josh: And then you said into B's.

Tommy: Into B's. It's not it.

Josh: I thought into B's was in a place.

Tommy: But it logs everyone and people put them out for you to listen to their sleep talks. One of them is like, Granny, can you buy me Snapchat? It was like just random shit.

Josh: People trolling at that point.

Tommy: It's so fucking weird. I mean, you guys, Mr. 97 and 3D Dill, you don't have partners that you sleep next to, so. No. Unless you're using an app like this. I don't have partners that I sleep next to. Partners. Partners. I'm talking to both of you, so you don't have partners.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tommy: Is that correct?

Amy: Yeah.

Tommy: You know, you guys don't have partners, so you're not sleeping next to anyone.

Amy: They're saying you're not bringing strangers into here and sleeping with you.

Josh: Not presently, no.

Tommy: Unfortunately not. Anyway.

Josh: And so you put your question. What was it?

Tommy: I was just going to, because you're just rubbing it in.

Josh: What's going on?

Tommy: I realise that. How would you know if you sleep talk or not? Are you guys sleep talkers? Do you know? I am like a person that I used to know said that I slept talk or I talk in my sleep.

Josh: Yeah, just, she said like, you're, you're so loud, like you need to stop. Is that what you call your ex now? The person I used to know? Well, I did used to know her, so yes, it's just motivation.

Tommy: Just him spitting motivational bars during the middle of the night. Fucking thinking grow rich.

Amy: Tommy once did a like, I don't know if you could call it a song, But I recreated it straight after because I was like, it was so—

Breana: I really like it.

Josh: What do you mean? You sung it?

Amy: Yeah, just with my phone.

Josh: Will you do that for us now?

Amy: I can do it. Yeah.

Josh: Okay, great.

Tommy: Amy writes notes in the middle of the night when stuff happens. She's just on her phone, just writing a quick note to remember.

Amy: Oh, I don't want to forget. But he went, ahem, ahem, a-ding-ding-ding-ding. And I was like, that's cute.

Josh: What a weird dude. Yeah. That's really sweet.

Breana: In his sleep.

Josh: Yeah.

Amy: But I really like that. He did this sound in between like each thing.

Josh: Just him at the club.

Breana: Yeah, I don't think you do anything in your sleep.

Josh: I don't do it. No, I'm pretty boring like that.

Breana: I don't think I do anything either.

Josh: I just call in triple zero.

Tommy: Fire, ambulance, or police.

Breana: I want to speak, you do it. Yeah, because he's really calm in situations. So like if I was on the phone like with police, Josh would just be like, oh, you're doing it wrong.

Amy: So I'm just like, that doesn't sound calm.

Josh: Yeah, I'm only calm if I'm talking.

Amy: Oh, okay.

Breana: If you're in control.

Tommy: Yeah. Let's make him not calm, the opposite of calm. Bree, what's it like living with Josh?

Breana: I love living with Josh. He's not, he's, he's not the most helpful around the house, but he's a delight to live with. Like, I look forward to coming home to him every night. That's like my favourite part of the night is having dinner with him on the couch.

Josh: That's why the Seth Godin book has been a pain in the ass.

Breana: No, but I've been really hot. I've sat with you a few times.

Josh: Yeah, I know, but as in like, I'm moving to available.

Tommy: We heard on the livestream.

Amy: That was so sweet.

Tommy: What happened?

Josh: What was that one? Bree said that she was proud when you were like turning the pages. Yeah, but you also went to the toilet.

Breana: Oh yeah, I went to the toilet as well. Okay, I got him to delete it because you can hear me going to the bathroom. Josh was like, oh, it's annoying, it's in the recording now. And I said, delete it.

Amy: He's like, oh, 'Cause it's obviously not you in the bathroom.

Josh: Who cares? Her stream ruined my stream.

Breana: My apologies.

Josh: No, it was quite noisy. 'Cause when it's silent, like you hear the fountain pen and all, you can hear everything picks up.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: I mean, Amy, what do you think? What is it like?

Breana: To be clear, you're entertaining to live with as well.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: That's good.

Breana: You're great.

Josh: I'm trying to think like, what about, I watch a lot of YouTube on the TV.

Breana: He watches a lot of YouTube and he listens to an audiobook every night before he goes to to sleep.

Tommy: I mean, you're in the room though too. I've mentioned that. I've said, what's Bree doing?

Breana: Sometimes I'm listening, other times I'll just put my AirPods in and just zone it out.

Josh: She started listening to Elton John with her AirPods.

Breana: But such a basic thing to do because I've seen the movie, so I'm on the bandwagon now. Yeah, great movie.

Tommy: Same with Amy.

Amy: Cool.

Tommy: Yeah. Done the same thing.

Josh: I'm doing it too. We're just all a bunch of basic bitches really, aren't we? Just come out of Elton John.

Amy: We did the In Rhapsody.

Breana: We're like into Queen.

Josh: Yeah, we did literally. Yesterday.

Amy: We'll go watch Yesterday.

Breana: Yeah, we're gonna go see that.

Josh: That concept of a film sounds like a joke.

Tommy: It's a great idea. Beatles aren't around.

Breana: Yeah, I know, it's great.

Tommy: He went back in time, right?

Amy: Or something? Is it out now?

Tommy: Present day, but the Beatles just don't exist, but he remembers all the Beatles songs and he just starts singing them like he owns them. People are like, oh my God, what's that song? He's like, What do you mean? It's the Beatles. Yeah, they're like, what? Who are the Beatles?

Josh: Are you just retelling the trailer?

Tommy: Yeah, exactly right. It was on at the gym about 4 times last night and I'm just fucking just thinking about it.

Josh: Anyway, I mean, it's an interesting concept. It's like when I was a kid, I was obsessed with having a pill. And to be honest, in 2019, I would have assumed we would have had a pill already that we would take that would keep us slim, that didn't involve amphetamines or shitting your pants. But what is Tommy like to live with?

Amy: Um, he's, he's great.

Breana: Um, and he's helped. You guys share chores, don't you?

Amy: We do, but I will say that it's probably like 60/40.

Breana: Who's 60, who's 40? 60.

Amy: Okay, sometimes 70, sometimes 80.

Breana: So you're, you're 60 and Tommy's—

Josh: well, I reckon Tommy's Instagram is more him 60 because is there any time he's cutting anything up, he straight away gets on the Insta stories. Why would I be doing something to his shorts?

Breana: He's been washing, he's been ironing, I'm ready to bed.

Josh: Because every Insta storey you are doing some chores, so that's why he's showing.

Tommy: I'm either washing Bodhi, having fun with Bodhi, or I'm meal prepping. Some reason I feel inspired.

Amy: Tommy's really good with recording moments with Bodhi, and I feel like I get like an urge to do every now and then because I'm like, oh, I don't want to forget this and I don't want to miss this. But normally, like, I'm just I'm there and I'm with Bodie and I'm like, oh, if I kind of bring like a camera up here, is it going to ruin?

Tommy: Oh yeah, it ruins it if you think about it. But if you can do it without thinking about it, I mean, that's what we're very good at. I reckon I've stopped documenting as much as I used to.

Josh: Well, you've got— nah, I mean, we've got a podcast that we do 7 days a week. True, true.

Tommy: I've increased the hours, but I have— it's not been about me as much, like as in me personally holding up the camera, which I think it should. But you can be brutal. I think I mean, what we've done, we've worked out a structure where I end up doing a bunch of specific chores and so do you. So it's like we've moved into our—

Josh: Who cleans the toilet? Me.

Tommy: More so than—

Josh: Who does the washing?

Amy: Me.

Tommy: Washing up? I do a lot of washing up.

Josh: I know.

Amy: But we share that.

Josh: Okay, no, I meant washing laundry.

Tommy: Yeah, me. Washing laundry.

Josh: Okay, so you've just been unlucky so far because I've asked two things and it was Amy.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah.

Josh: Is that why you were— because you straight up—

Breana: yeah, yeah. Can you name one thing that you do?

Josh: They're deflecting this unbelievable question.

Breana: Like, can you actually clearly think?

Amy: I'm not trolling you, but if you ask vacuuming.

Tommy: Oh yeah, I vacuum, I sweep, I do the kitchen.

Josh: I mean, your apartment isn't like, it's not huge, it's not like you're vacuuming a fucking mansion. It's a 2-bedroom apartment.

Tommy: Either way, it's something I'm into.

Amy: It still helps, it needs to be done.

Josh: No, but I definitely do that. More, more. No, the thing, the things I reckon are more around I'm trying to think.

Amy: Cooking?

Tommy: They don't cook.

Breana: We don't really cook. We're terrible. And if we do, it's like soup.

Josh: I'm trying to think. No, coffee. I would always make the coffee.

Amy: Oh, you do?

Breana: Yeah, but even I've learned how to make that.

Tommy: So you're redundant.

Josh: I do it fucking all the time. No, the— I mean, the entertainment thing I think is a good point.

Tommy: It's strong. It's memorable.

Breana: Yeah.

Tommy: I mean, no one's remembering the guy who just vacuumed the carpet.

Josh: Everyone can do that though. No, but it is. It's a commodity. It's a commodity. No, I agree. No, but there is a thing. Most of my things are around personal responsibilities. So just getting better at putting my towel away and things like that.

Tommy: Yeah. In terms of—

Breana: But he won't even get lucky getting better.

Tommy: Your legs.

Josh: So sweet.

Breana: But he'll be in the shower, like he won't even get himself a new towel. He'll be like, ah, Breeza, can you get me a clean towel?

Josh: No, but you're selling that short because it's not, it's because it's always when I'm in the shower that I realize, fuck it, I don't want to use that towel again. Because I remember yesterday it was just, we spoke about towels a lot yesterday as well. So this is a very towel-heavy weekend.

Tommy: Great. Is there any corrections that you'd like to make on things we say on this podcast?

Amy: Oh my gosh, all the time.

Josh: That's the note she's doing in her head.

Amy: Do you feel like that ever, Bree?

Breana: Yes, there's a couple of things I'm trying to think. I have terrible memory. We were talking about that this morning.

Amy: Yeah, I won't be able to remember anything, but my notes say otherwise. In the moment, I feel like I, I call you a lot. I've stopped doing it so much, but because I'm listening through to all the back catalogue of your stuff, if I notice something, like, I'll call you and be like, Tommy, you said this, but that's not actually accurate. There's lots that you, that you said, like, about Bible college or about different things that, like, parts of my life but I was like way off.

Josh: Is he hyperbolic about it? Like, is he—

Amy: I don't even know what that means.

Josh: Is he extreme? Does he over-express? What's an—

Amy: oh, there was one part where he was talking about, because I've got like the tinnitus, the ringing in my ears.

Josh: Tinnitus, yep.

Amy: And I think it is tinnitus.

Josh: Yeah, you're probably right. And that wasn't me correcting.

Amy: That wasn't me correcting though.

Breana: Oh, wasn't it?

Josh: No, that was me just being like, oh, you mean I call it tinnitus.

Tommy: It's correct.

Josh: It definitely wasn't me mansplaining, if that's what we're worried about. Can we, can you find out if it's tinnitus or tinnitus? Because tinnitus doesn't even sound like you're saying a word. It sounds like you're fumbling over it. Tinnitus.

Amy: I was calling it that for a while, and then I got corrected a few times. I'm like, tinnitus? Like, I just thought it sounded dumb, and that's why, like, I'm now correcting you because I've been corrected so many times. But I could be wrong anyway. But Tommy was saying, was like, oh, Amy's got this ringing in her ears. And you were like, oh, asking all these questions. And he was answering them way off. You were like, oh, it's like that high-pitched. And he was like, nah, like low, just boom. And I was like, nah, high-pitched. Like everything that you asked, I was like, yep, yep, yep. And Tommy was like, nah, not like that at all.

Josh: And he's probably pretty confident about it.

Amy: The thing is, it's not a bad thing to be to be confident, I guess. But yeah, I, I—

Josh: But when you're confidently wrong, aren't you? I guess that's the funny thing.

Amy: If you're gonna go down, go down.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, it's true.

Tommy: So that's more— that's something we've said. Then the Bible college stuff, let's talk about that. Yeah, what have we— I feel like I'm— even, even yesterday you were mentioning, Josh, about Bible college, and it was more around when I met you, you said you were 4 years out of Bible college. I said you were like a few years out from—

Amy: Yeah, I would have probably been about— Yeah, that long out. But I guess you were, you were saying, oh yeah, she kind of— she wasn't going to church, she wasn't doing all of this. But I was like, kind of still was a bit.

Josh: But what was it? What's the— what do you think the misconception that people who aren't into church, that don't go to church, what is the misconception and what is the accurate cliché that you like that you played into in regards to that sort of culture and that part of your life?

Tommy: You go to Bible college, you end up with a stripper.

Amy: Yeah, that's what they told me.

Josh: Is that really a— no, no, it's not. No, but you know, you hear like, um, uh, I'm sure I've heard that people who go to, um, certain, uh, schools or whatever, they can be super religious, they can then go the other way and be super sort of out there and I don't know what you're saying.

Tommy: You just can't say it. Say it.

Breana: What are you trying to say? I don't know.

Josh: No, well, just, just, um, bad reputation. Is that in the song? Do they talk about that or no?

Tommy: That's just Kanye West singing.

Josh: Oh no, but just like people—

Tommy: I know what you mean.

Josh: Yeah, so, so they like people who are like perceived to be like the good sheltered people who aren't doing anything are the ones that are doing crazy shit.

Amy: Yeah, that can happen. I think I think maybe those people who are just trying their best to follow the rules and to do everything right and to tick all the boxes and to try to, I guess, earn their goodness rather than being like, oh, this is something that I really believe in, that I'm excited about and that I want to learn more about, can maybe get more burnt out and then just be like, oh, fuck it.

Tommy: Fuck it.

Josh: Go the other way. Was that you taking your top off when you said fuck it? And so when you were in Bali and Jules took off TJ's undies.

Amy: Oh yeah.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And so what's the— what's in your head at that point?

Amy: It was funny because—

Josh: small dickie.

Tommy: That's where Bodie got it from, his mama.

Amy: It was funny because I— they were, they were all talking to me. There were some comments about like, Amy, you should see it. And I was like, yeah, let's not say who said that because that— nah, but I'll tell you later.

Josh: Yeah, what does it— what does that all mean? What was that interaction?

Tommy: I don't know, I just feel like the people that they wouldn't want to be seen as the people that are saying that to a girl that I've never met before.

Josh: I don't know, but I think that it was a bit Gemma and the Corona bottle. Yeah, yeah, you have to listen to yesterday's episode.

Amy: Anyway, I think that they But they would have thought that I was just a 5-minute situation moment in time, and like nothing that they would have said would have been anything.

Tommy: Any of those times, it's like, you know, someone gets a girlfriend and someone says something bad about her. It's like, oh, she's fucking annoying. They end up getting married. Something like that. It's like there's a high chance. It's actually not a high chance for a lot of people that have multiple girlfriends across the time, you know. I think, yeah, it's, it's something, something to watch out. You probably shouldn't ever, you know, say something bad about a girl someone's dating because they could marry them, or vice versa.

Josh: And so what was that, what was that evening like when you first met?

Amy: It was, it was really interesting. I remember hearing like all of these comments and people being like, oh, I think someone came up to me and was like, oh, go home with him, he hasn't like he hasn't had any action for a while. And me being like, I'm like this good Christian girl, like I'm, I don't know. And I didn't know how to communicate it. And I didn't think that it was that I should. I just, I think I was just a bit, I let a lot of things slide and go because I was having a lot of cocktails and I was like, just enjoying it.

Tommy: But even that stuff, not communicating, even someone saying that to you, It sounds hot. It sounds not nice for me now. But when you're at Potato Head and everyone's fucking pissed, we've had 70 kookaburra cocktails. I remember just thinking like, it doesn't feel as, it doesn't feel as sex pesty as someone saying that. And I remember the girl that said that.

Amy: The first thing. Yeah. And I think, I think that I was just thinking when everyone was saying this, oh, I would remember I was laughing in my head and going, man, if you only knew, like if you only knew. How much of a good girl I was.

Tommy: What does that mean?

Josh: It sounds like shit really counted that night. Only if you knew where that was coming from, you know.

Tommy: No, but I think you— how many of your friends had— were saving themselves for marriage? Like, how many people?

Josh: So did you end up hooking up that evening?

Amy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, like most of them.

Josh: And was it random?

Tommy: That's what I mean. If that's where it's like Yeah, I don't do that.

Josh: Well, isn't that the interesting thing? I mean, you've been consistent though. It's like you don't do that and it wasn't a random hookup because you ended up marrying him.

Amy: I know.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah. That's interesting.

Tommy: But I think that's pretty lucky, right? Like the thing, the person you decide, not that we're talking about having sex, we didn't have sex that night, but it's like the person that you do go home with, like we went back to our place.

Amy: I thought we were going to literally 100%, like hand on heart. When he was like, oh, we could go out like clubbing or we could like go back to my place.

Tommy: Don't think I ever would have said clubbing.

Amy: No, you didn't.

Tommy: But I said to a bar.

Amy: All right. And then what's the difference?

Tommy: I don't know. I wouldn't want to go to a club, just clubbing.

Amy: No, but I think you were trying to make it sound unappealing because I was like, what do you want to do?

Tommy: Do you want to go to a shit bar? Oh no.

Josh: Do they not have like a comfy bed?

Amy: You were like, I think that those guys are all going to like go a bit wild. Like, yeah, I don't want to do that. Do you want to just come back to mine? I was like, okay, textbook. Literally, I thought we were going to go back and watch movies because that's all I'd ever done, going back to people's houses.

Josh: And so when I saw him and he had his car, I mean, what? I mean, yeah, go on.

Amy: You had no idea, like, you literally zero. And I remember, like, all of a sudden we were in his room and things were not as I thought that they would be. And I was like, A lot of velvet.

Josh: A lot of whiskey and a cigar.

Amy: And I was like, oh, that's what a Corona bottle looks like.

Breana: Where they get that, because we missed out on that bottle.

Josh: Yeah, it's probably not appropriate either.

Tommy: I would never say if it wasn't my wife. Um, we're referring to the size of my penis. Anyway, it's stupid. I know I've got a small dick, but he called me that.

Josh: Little dickie.

Tommy: Yeah, mate, what's Isn't it like, it's fascinating existence because to be honest, I had the opposite experience upbringing.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: I had the opposite.

Josh: What was it just quickly, that evening experience? What do you like? That was Amy's.

Tommy: It was great. I fell in love with her.

Breana: It was amazing. We started dating pretty much straight away after that.

Amy: And then that was not in my mind, like 3 months later maybe. But Tommy kept on kind of He called me up long distance. Yeah. And he called me up the first time, was like, oh, I think I found this hat. I thought it might be yours. And I was like, in, it was a green cap. And I was in my head, I'm like, you're just trying to call me. And I actually only found out by listening to this podcast that he knew it wasn't mine. Ever since then, he denied it. It was a Hamish and Andy hat and you had people like from the radio with you.

Josh: That was also like It's a flex as well.

Tommy: No, no, no.

Josh: It's just like, now it's either yours or it's Hamish's.

Tommy: Well, Hamish was at my brother's wedding, but it did.

Josh: So it was— You can't help yourself. You're like, I'm not going to flex, but yeah, he was there.

Tommy: I'm pretty sure it was Jesse Martins who was staying, who stayed in our room.

Breana: Oh, the sailing guy?

Tommy: Yeah, the guy who sailed around the world. Also a 17-year-old kid.

Josh: Yeah, but a barista whose dad is part of 2xU was there as well, wasn't he?

Tommy: No, no, no, not this one. No, but Yeah.

Josh: So, the jet was in Adelaide, I think.

Breana: I can see the thoughts rolling in your head.

Josh: I can see it's like you're blinking every time you think of something. No, well, it was, that was actually quite a complex joke, which is why it didn't land.

Tommy: Yeah. So it's, but it's amazing how things turn out. It's like those silly things. This is a lesson for you, Mr. 97. Sometimes you got to act on that silly thought, like, how can I call this girl? And have some kind of in. Doesn't really matter what the in is because you— I mean, this is probably stupid. This is what comes back to— it comes up on a podcast. But how you— that first interaction, you've just got to make it. And so if I didn't, we wouldn't have Bodhi. And there's a lot in hindsight that you then can be thankful for. But it's amazing.

Amy: It's crazy. Tommy's a pretty big romantic actually, I think. Um, he hides it in front of everyone, but like one of the sweetest things that he ever said— and then I want to get on to you guys and how you met because it's my show now.

Josh: Okay, Ellen DeGeneres. Do you want to go to an ad break first?

Amy: Because I was feeling like I was taking up too much time.

Josh: She's also hand signalling to Mr. 97.

Amy: Um, but he said, um, to me just randomly one time, we were just driving in the car and he, and he put his hand on my knee and said, I haven't stopped thinking about you. There hasn't been a day that I haven't thought about you since the day we met.

Breana: Oh, that's so nice.

Tommy: It's true, right?

Breana: Yeah.

Josh: Like, as if you haven't had it before the game.

Tommy: It's true though.

Josh: No, it is.

Tommy: When you meet the person that you love You will never go a day without thinking of them again.

Josh: It's like a drug.

Tommy: It's crazy, huh?

Josh: It's like a— I was completely obsessed with Brie. I was, was.

Amy: I know.

Josh: No, well, I think you dial it back. Well, yeah. It all sort of dials into probably the appropriate levels. Or you don't have to chat, like it's— She lives— We live together now, which is great.

Tommy: It's a good point because The honeymoon phase of a relationship is definitely a real thing, but it's also a honeymoon phase that she, she wasn't even coming to the honeymoon.

Josh: It was just me at that point.

Breana: Because we're friends. We've been together how long?

Josh: 12 years, 11 years.

Breana: 12. It's 12 years this year, right? So we, we were friends to start with and he liked me.

Tommy: Yes.

Josh: And, and I asked her out 3 times and she said no every time.

Breana: And then Yeah, there was a point where I think you were pretty much like, you don't know if you could be my friend.

Josh: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Breana: Well, that was because I haven't had a lot of boyfriends and things like that, so it wasn't like I didn't like him. I was a bit like, oh, I don't know.

Josh: Well, it was mainly because she said, I'm not feeling like I want a boyfriend right now, and then 2 weeks later she had a boyfriend.

Breana: And the thing was, it wasn't even a boyfriend.

Josh: His name was Jordan and he was a hairdresser.

Tommy: On my space.

Josh: And he, and I remember that Bree would talk to me about her dates. The first date they ever went on, he gave her hair serum.

Breana: He's got some great hair products.

Josh: Hair serum. What's Jordan doing here?

Breana: He's actually a glazier.

Tommy: Yeah.

Breana: Anyway.

Tommy: It sort your folliculitis out, Josh.

Josh: Jordan?

Breana: But it wasn't like a—

Josh: He's a glazier now. My head's not made of glass. All right, he's moved on. From that.

Breana: Maybe subconsciously, I don't know, maybe subconsciously my feelings for you were big and maybe that, I don't know, I was a bit like that.

Josh: Hairdressers can't fix it, you fucking idiot. It's a dermatologist that you go to, not a hairdresser. I can imagine a glazier having folliculitis, which I don't even have, which is the funny bit, which we're going to have a reveal of that. Yeah. Which would be because I've never actually, even when I was on antibiotics for it, they didn't test for it. They just, he looked at it and said, that looks like folliculitis.

Tommy: Oh mate, that's, I could believe a doctor over you.

Josh: Yeah, but it looks very similar.

Tommy: Anyway.

Josh: So dating-wise, the, no, Bree, the—

Tommy: So he pursued you?

Breana: Yeah. Yeah, he did.

Josh: Yeah, I did. I did.

Amy: I—

Breana: He used to come. Do you remember he used to come every Sunday? I worked at a store called Fashion 4 Less in Dandenong Plaza.

Josh: Was that after or before?

Breana: No, this is when you were my friend.

Josh: But was this before or after Bras and Things?

Breana: Before Bras and Things. So it was a little while.

Josh: Bras and Things was a massive upgrade.

Breana: But he used to come every Sunday and bring me lunch and sit with me at work.

Josh: Mum would give me a $20. Yeah, and I would spend it on both of our lunches.

Breana: And sometimes you would go buy me gifts. I remember once I asked him to go, if he could go get me a notebook. I gave him money for it. What notebook?

Josh: What was it for?

Breana: I can't remember. I was probably writing. Um, anyway, it doesn't matter. Anyway, um, so he went out and he came back and he had my money, gave me my money back, and he was like, I couldn't find the notebook that you wanted, but I got you a perfume. It was like a Gucci.

Tommy: They see me rolling.

Josh: Yeah, I do definitely remember that.

Breana: Bond's underwear. Do you remember? I love Bond.

Josh: That was more friends back. I was weird. Exactly.

Breana: Yeah, it's very sweet.

Josh: Davenport. Davenport was a big brand as well.

Breana: I remember. I've got a good memory.

Josh: They're all very patterned.

Tommy: Do you remember Metico pants? No.

Josh: Nah, that was— We weren't cool enough.

Tommy: Here's a funny one. Sayings we're talking about during the week is like the origin of a saying. Amy's from Sydney, grew up there. This morning in the car—

Josh: Do you say scallops? Potato scallops?

Tommy: Oh, yeah. They use scallops instead of—

Josh: Potato cakes.

Tommy: Potato cakes. They're potato cakes, mate. Don't give them that bloody—

Josh: Because scallops is a fancy—

Breana: But I know what potatoes—

Tommy: Sounds fancy, but this is not even that. That's just a word used in a different state, which is a thing. But would you think that someone from Sydney would understand the term, um, skitty cat from Ballarat, which was something that we used in primary school, a reference to Ballarat. Can you look it up? Skitty cat from Ballarat. Where?

Amy: That—

Josh: copycat.

Tommy: Well, then they'd have to— sorry, yeah, skitty cat or copycat from Ballarat.

Breana: Copycat from Ballarat.

Amy: Yeah.

Tommy: Okay. Was it copycat? Did I fuck it?

Breana: Skitty cat from Ballarat.

Tommy: Oh no, I mean, they just rhyme, but copycat from Ballarat.

Breana: Skitty cat from Ballarat.

Tommy: I remember kids saying in the in the playground. And Ballarat is somewhere through the deal. We took you to Ballarat. Yep. We were up there. Gold rush town.

Breana: Sovereign Hill.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: And in hundreds, it was a thriving metropolis of gold. Anyway, have you found out where it comes from? No, I'm just looking it up now. Copycat from Ballarat.

Josh: Anything on it?

Tommy: Yeah, there's one, there's one sort of forum post on it.

Josh: Essentialkids.com.au. This is good.

Tommy: Anyway, I just thought that was interesting that a Sydney-sider, a saying had made its way up.

Josh: Oh, so in Sydney they say it?

Tommy: They say it. Really?

Josh: That's cool.

Tommy: But I asked Amy, did you ever know what Ballarat was? No one knew what Ballarat was.

Amy: There are some things that we say different, like we call, I don't know, do you call them juice boxes? What do you call poppers? Yeah, you call them fruit boxes.

Breana: Oh no, Prima.

Josh: Prima's.

Amy: Yeah, we call them poppers.

Breana: Oh, we call them Prima because Prima's the brand. Yeah.

Tommy: And popper, what's popper?

Amy: It's a popper.

Breana: I think of a popper like they're party poppers.

Amy: I think maybe you can like, you can blow them up through the straw and then you can like jump on them.

Josh: Yeah, that was a big thing. You'd do it in the locker bay or whatever. I would never do it. Very noisy. But just quickly on the how Bri and I ended up getting together. After 3 times of asking Bri, she said no each time. I think one of them was the 9th of December that I asked, 9th or 10th, was around Melbury's birthday, which I think was the 11th of December. Is that correct?

Breana: I think so.

Tommy: Just to confirm, Shruti was completely out of the picture.

Breana: Shruti was out of the picture.

Tommy: Have you met Shruti, Bri?

Breana: Yes.

Tommy: You know Shruti?

Breana: Yeah, I went to school with her.

Tommy: Yeah.

Breana: Lovely.

Tommy: There's not much you can do with it.

Josh: Let's not talk about my ex. Is anyone else feeling You're saying that?

Tommy: What do you mean?

Josh: It's about my ex, babe.

Tommy: We're talking about his 12-year-old girlfriend, which I was also 12.

Josh: I was also 12 at the time.

Breana: We've got to be careful.

Josh: Sorry, it's very upsetting. Shruti is now 27, 28, so it's not as funny anymore, is it?

Breana: Breaks my heart.

Josh: I wonder if she's still in love.

Tommy: Every time I see Shruti, I get very jealous.

Josh: I wonder, I wonder if there are any situations where people like, uh, getting jealous of an ex when it was at the high school level. It probably is.

Tommy: Amy?

Amy: Oh yeah, I was so jealous when we first got together.

Josh: About his high school exes?

Amy: Yeah.

Tommy: Remember, I've had it.

Amy: I'd never slept with anyone. And so I was like, I didn't know how to like deal with that.

Josh: She just did an action that looked like she was bluffing. 2 testicles, sort of.

Amy: Anyway, so that was, that was a struggle. I felt like, I felt like it was, I felt like it was happening current day even though it was like in the past.

Tommy: Yeah, sure.

Josh: Yeah, it's a lot to handle.

Amy: Yeah, got over it though. We can talk, we can talk about any of your exes if you want.

Tommy: Do you think that though?

Breana: Yeah.

Tommy: Do you think, um, I think it's a nice place for us to bring this up. But 80 is a piece of work that you've done to get good with doing it.

Amy: I worked really hard on it, to be fair.

Josh: Did you get rid of the voodoo dolls or are they still?

Amy: They're just in a box under the bed just in case.

Tommy: Yeah. Well, I've been thinking about the—

Amy: I met some of them.

Tommy: Yeah, you definitely did. Yeah. That you know of. I'm joking, but the—

Amy: That was my concern.

Josh: How old?

Amy: What if I meet them and I don't even know?

Breana: How old were you when you got together?

Amy: Old, embarrassingly. Like, I was 25, so I should have known better, as in like to not be so jealous.

Tommy: No, but I think that's a part of your upbringing, right? If you haven't been around people, and you probably thought, I'll probably be with somebody who is a Christian that has probably holy principles.

Breana: Yeah, can own it. I think it's lovely. Oh, how?

Amy: Well, that's nice. I'll take it.

Tommy: But I was thinking about women and the the sexes co-inhabitating and being friends, right? And I was thinking about being in a relationship and your partner worrying about exes and stuff, which can contribute to sort of shutting out some people from your life. And I was thinking, not much more than that. I don't know where I was going with that.

Josh: It was a thought starter. Then what do you think, Amy?

Tommy: But I think— and yeah, shut the fuck up.

Josh: It was a good thought starter.

Tommy: Yeah, the thought starter for Amos.

Amy: Yeah, I haven't— I don't know if this is going to be like my final thought, but I guess we've been wrapped up by Mr.

Tommy: 97. Yeah, it's your final thought.

Josh: That was gone so quickly.

Tommy: Yeah, it's real fast. But yeah, you like—

Amy: between us, I think, I think that you, between the two of you, you kind of work out what you want your relationship to look like, and you, you work on that together. And so you want to make sure that your partner feels as supported and safe as possible. But at the same time, you don't want to be doing things that are like triggering. Yeah. And, but also really damaging to your own life. So for instance, if, if Tommy, I don't know if you're, if one of your exes was like really close with your family And if I couldn't handle that, but you were like, this is how it's going to be. That might be something where you would have to go, bye, Amy.

Tommy: This was my thought. Now I've got there.

Amy: Okay.

Tommy: Worrying about, there's a lot of women that are worried about, you know, other partners and exes and women, right? Women worrying about women, or it could be men worrying about men, but I was worrying about it dividing the sexes even more.

Amy: Yeah.

Tommy: Where it's like, we can be inclusive, right?

Amy: Yeah.

Tommy: And so anyway, it's something we all deal with. Boys, you'll deal with this. Mr. 97, 3 to deal at some point when you're just old farts, been in relationships for ages, talking about shit that you don't know because you've been together so long.

Amy: At this stage, like, we barely have time, like with, with Bodie, like we barely have time for like our family and friend, actual friends, like.

Tommy: And the podcast is what you say, you can say that.

Josh: And the gronks.

Amy: Yeah, there's not really, I don't know, there's not really much time to include in other people at this stage.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, we're not open for friends at the moment as a general rule.

Amy: Closed for business. Not accepting applications.

Josh: Yeah, we're like old MBA, we do it a few times a year.

Tommy: We better run because we're going to pick up Bodhi because we'll be accused of—

Josh: and I've got to go and I can do all the chores and stuff. No, but in all seriousness, yes, like I have moments of getting better with it.

Tommy: And so what he's asking, Bree, because I know him so well, he wants you to kind of now say, but Josh is fine.

Josh: No, no, no, I don't want to say that.

Tommy: Josh pulls his weight.

Josh: No, no, no, that's fine.

Breana: No, but I think that, uh, he doesn't do much around the house, but I love him.

Josh: Okay, but you can't— but I should. I know that.

Breana: And you're getting better.

Josh: Ah, that's what I wanted to hear. I feel like that's exactly what— isn't it funny? I got what I wanted.

Breana: Am I getting better?

Josh: Am I getting better?

Breana: You are getting better. With what?

Josh: What do I do?

Breana: Um, you help me hang out the washing.

Tommy: Mate, didn't you learn how to use the dishwasher the other day?

Josh: Yeah, he did.

Tommy: Let's clap that in, fuck it.

Josh: Thank you.

Tommy: 28.

Josh: Thank you.

Tommy: I don't care if you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Josh: Yeah, it was inside the dishwasher.

Breana: Because it's one of those, it's got a cover. It's one of those like technical—

Tommy: It's a dishwasher.

Josh: No, no, no, it's a hidden dishwasher. Thinking about it, washing is something that I— we don't do our washing that much because I've got merino wool. I can actually get 2 days out of it. No, no, no. But the thing is, I actually do that a lot. That's one thing that I'm not good at the day-to-day grind, but on a Sunday, just fucking do it. And that's why I think I'd be good at meal prep.

Breana: Except since Seth Godin, I would say.

Josh: Since the writing.

Breana: Maybe the last month you actually haven't. I've done your washing.

Josh: I mean, to be fair, I only picked up Seth Godin about a week and a half ago, so that's not an excuse. All right. It's a daily talk show. This has been weekend banter. If you've listened listen this far, screen grab, share it on Instagram, Instagram stories. You can also find Amy and Bri on Instagram if you just type in Amy or Brianna in our who we're following. I think they're the only—

Tommy: stalk them.

Josh: Yeah, why not?

Tommy: Yeah.

Amy: Yeah.

Josh: And they're going to do it anyway. They're already halfway through. People are trying to see if there's any photos of Potato Head. People are looking if there's any photos of Bri's dad's wedding. It's a daily talk show. We'll see you tomorrow, guys. Bye guys.
