Buffet vs All You Can Eat

Josh: It's a Daily Talk Show episode 293.

Tommy: It's Weekend Banter, it's Sunday. What's going on, guys?

Josh: Yeah, did I— I didn't clap for Saturdays today.

Tommy: I think we did. Okay, I think we got into it.

Josh: I think there's a little bit of a delay.

Tommy: There was more, um, chutzpah in Saturday's clap.

Josh: Yeah, yeah.

Tommy: I mean, Saturday, I was thinking, guys, uh, 3D Dylan, Mr.

Josh: 97 are in front of us as well. They're on the mics in the main arena of the studio.

Tommy: So if you're watching at thedailytalkshow.com, you can see their mugs. And, um, what I was thinking about the weekend, there's something about the weekend that you feel lighter, like you feel like the pressures of the week are gone. And I think having owning a business, I feel like I can take my foot off the accelerator. Like, I think there's an unwritten rule of you don't need to get back to people on the weekend.

Josh: I think that's not even an unrelated— I think it's a rule.

Tommy: Where's it written?

Josh: Business hours, like weekdays, business hours and stuff.

Tommy: But I think more so now people are fucking available 24/7, which is not right. I don't want that. I don't want to create that business.

Josh: Absolutely not.

Tommy: I mean, Mr. 97 3D Deal are available 24/7.

Josh: Appreciate it.

Tommy: That's how we roll. For people outside of us, Josh. No, I don't.

Josh: But I was thinking about Outside of weekend banter?

Tommy: The structure of the weekend, like just questioning Saturday and Sunday being the weekend.

Josh: Do you boys wake up early in the morning on a weekend?

Tim: Not really. I sleep in a bit.

Josh: 8:30, 9:00.

Tommy: What's—

Tim: Yeah, 8:30, 9:00.

Tommy: Mason?

Mason: 7:00 to 8:00.

Tommy: Yeah. Yeah. Smoothie machine goes off and he wakes up and thinks, I need some lemon water.

Josh: I find it easier to wake up, obviously. I mean, it's the classic cliche weekend.

Tommy: Well, because you're not the— Maybe you've given given yourself permission to sort of just forget about everything else. But I was saying, like, what about— I guess the whole world's geared around weekends, right? Everyone's in the structure of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then weekend, Saturday, Sunday is a time, you know, venues are— what if all of a sudden somehow everyone mutually agreed that we're gonna go, you can just take a day whenever you want? Yeah, so no, no, you can take Saturday, Saturday and Sunday you can take whatever days. Tuesday you want off, Friday you want off. That means you work Saturday, Sunday, and all the other days other than those two. But what that would do to the world, like what it would do to everything. I don't know, I was just fucking walking along thinking that.

Josh: I don't think it would be too much of a— you're talking about flexible hours, I think, if your businesses are doing it.

Mason: Well, every single—

Tommy: I'm saying everyone in the world gets around this.

Josh: So everyone just picks the days that they have off.

Tommy: It's just a— it's, it's a written rule.

Tim: Is there a limit to an amount of days that they can take?

Josh: Of course.

Mason: Still 2. It's the weekend.

Tim: Still 2.

Josh: But they can work a weekend.

Tommy: So what I'm saying is we just remove Saturday and Sunday as the weekend as we know it.

Josh: Well, so Bri has inspiration days once a month, so she gets an extra day off every month.

Tommy: Inspiration days, that's the written rule?

Josh: Yes, written rule. So what would be, if you guys were to take a day off, are you a, take it off on Friday, so you have Friday, Saturday, Sunday? My vibe is Fridays are the best days of the week to be in the office because people are a bit loose.

Tommy: Good vibe.

Josh: Take off maybe a Tuesday.

Tommy: Monday's good.

Josh: Take off on Monday.

Tommy: Well, there's something about— it's like when you— I was thinking about— so Bodhi comes in, fucking goes mad at 6:30 AM, or like jumping on us. If someone came in and just said, hey guys, I'm going to give you a couple of hours to sleep right now. It would be the best. You know when you really want the sleep and you know you cannot have it? Imagine in that moment you could have it.

Josh: I see Monday's Bodhi for a billion.

Tommy: Definitely not selling my son, and it's nothing like a Schnauzer. It's a little bit different. But yeah, so the Monday is like, you know, everyone's back to the grind, and so it's a nice day to just wake up on a Monday and go— I mean, I haven't really had one of those days. I don't I don't feel like that. I mean, we do fucking this show 7 days now, so it's—

Josh: Yeah, I mean, with Mr. 97, have you ever had an— a, uh, what is it called, like a holiday as an adult that's not a family holiday?

Mason: Um, no, no.

Tommy: Well, that's his first job. This is his first job, dude, and he's dedicated.

Josh: What about when you're like— when you finish school? I know, like you would—

Mason: No, well, I mean, I've No, never, never nights away, but it's just like day trips here and there. Like you go down to the beach.

Josh: Have you ever been, since you've been an adult, have you ever slept anywhere outside of your bed? I guess we are sitting here. Oh, we did as well, didn't we?

Tommy: We took him to Lisa's. Oh, that's right.

Mason: Remember?

Josh: Yeah.

Mason: So outside?

Tommy: Outside?

Mason: Nah, I mean, early day sleepovers, that sort of stuff. Nothing as an adult.

Josh: No.

Tommy: Do you go out?

Mason: I am sitting at the moment, but Other than that, no.

Tommy: Out of Melbourne, do you go away? Like, I mean, it's a— are you a homebody? You like staying home? You like—

Mason: yeah, because everything's dialled in. Like, I can go to the gym, I can have my smoothie in the morning, I can do everything.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, he's a mini Jeff Bezos. Whereas 3D Deal, the other hand, just fucking likes sleeping in cubbies.

Tim: Yeah, like, I'm fine sleeping anywhere as long as it's not on the side of a road.

Tommy: Do you think that's you naturally doing that or are you pushing?

Tim: I'm trying to push myself out of my comfort zone.

Tommy: Yeah. I remember when I first like travelling to Europe, I was like, I'm going to go to Italy by myself. That doesn't— even to me, I don't feel like it sounds like it's great. It's like, I'd love to do it with my friends or someone. But I was like, I know what it'll do for me.

Josh: Did you do it on your own?

Tommy: Yeah, I went to— it was only like 4 days. I was in— I went to the UK by myself. I met people over there and shit. I stayed with my cousin, and then I went to Barcelona with a friend. Then I went to Italy by myself. So I went to Rome for a couple of nights, then caught a train to Florence. But you're getting on— I'm getting on a train, I don't know anyone, I don't fucking know how to speak Italian, um, and I don't know where the train— if it's the right train. I think it was like complicated, but then I was like, in the moment, this is fucking amazing. But I knew the uncomfortable situation I was putting myself in, so I was forcing myself into the uncomfort and then just trying to fucking deal with it. But do you feel like you, you, you're not naturally, or you don't, you're not thinking about putting yourself into the uncomfortable situation?

Mason: Uh, it depends in what context, because I put myself, I'm happy to put myself into some uncomfortable situations, like if it's something socially. But in terms of like travel, it hasn't been anything that I've really explored yet.

Josh: So what about backpacking? Do you ever imagine going backpacking?

Mason: Yeah, I'd like to go backpacking sometime next year.

Josh: Oh, fucking—

Tommy: he's just put in any leave now.

Josh: This is absolutely thrown in. Whoa, whoa, whoa, keep it for off air. No, it's a joke. I remember when, when Bri and I did our 4-month travel last year, the contentious issue was what type of bag we're going to bring. I was obsessed about taking only a backpack so I could be a backpacker. Um, and, uh, we ended up going roller bags.

Tommy: What would— if you— would you look at doing that again, or would you look at doing something you'd be like, it wasn't actually good enough, we did that, I want to try the backpack thing? Um, and I'm not saying be a backpack, I'm just saying fucking wearing it, wearing it all on your backpack, your back.

Josh: I think that you could wear it like a small enough— like have a small enough amount of clothes and stuff So, you could do it all in the backpack. But the amount that we took, we probably couldn't have.

Tommy: Bree took the Hyundai i30, didn't she?

Josh: Well, no, she took the A380. She was sitting on the sidelines. I'm just going to bring up your mic, Bree, because I know that you always get upset when we talk about this issue. And you normally don't have the ability to rebut during the podcast.

Tommy: You took an A380.

E: Yeah, I took a bigger bag than what Josh did. But both bags turned into a backpack and he never used the backpack version of the bag once. So, he had the option. It had straps that he could have.

Josh: No, but the straps are bullshit. It wasn't bullshit. It was never designed. They were—

E: Why would they put straps on the bag then?

Josh: It was for emergencies, but I can send you the reviews. No one used them.

Tommy: It doesn't look like a functional backpack.

Josh: It had wheels.

E: It was fun.

Josh: It had a handle.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: It's a nice bag.

Tommy: I mean, it should be the rule of thumb to pack your bag and then actually just take out half and that's all you can definitely live with. Well, because, Josh, you wear the same thing every day.

Josh: Yeah, seriously, I don't actually wear— You're a good traveller. Yeah, and I don't think it's like—

Tommy: And especially in Mykonos, you're just wearing those little—

Josh: Yeah, speedos. But I think that definitely, like, you, you don't need much when you, when you travel.

Tommy: Uh, quite, uh, possibly the most awkward Instagram post on Friday night in here. I mean, what do you think about it? I wouldn't have approved it. I mean, feedback— it was, it was one of those Insta question things.

Josh: Can I explain though what like the thought behind it was? I was like, uh, Mr. 97— it was Friday night, Mr. 97 and I and 3D Dill were talking about we need to get some cut through on this Instagram. We want actually people to, um, leave a question. I said, I was like, I'll just do a video. I was like, it needs to have a bit of cut through.

Tommy: We need to uh, sort of sexually harass each other.

Josh: No, we were, um, the idea was like, let's make it visually different to normal. And so by us both having our arms around one another, it would stop people in their tracks and they might have a question for us.

Tim: Did that work?

Tommy: It stopped people in their tracks.

Josh: Do you think it worked or no? What did you think?

Tommy: Now that I understand that, no, no. But I think, I don't know, I know what you mean, but I think people Just for like, what the fuck's going on there? Gemma Watts, she's like—

Tim: Gemma Watts was so confused. She's like, that's so awkward.

Tommy: Yeah, I can't watch all of this because it's so awkward. The beauty with you is your sarcasm just gets lost sometimes.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, literally happening at the moment with a friend who's travelling who she jokes about being an influencer. You've actually— I think we follow her maybe on the Daily Talk Show, and you've said, I can't tell, is she actually—

Tommy: what says influencer in her fucking bio. And just quickly on that, I'd noticed that our Instagram bio has changed. Has changed.

Josh: What do you think?

Tommy: Twice. I saw it and then it changed again, and I was like, the only person changing it. It's because I don't think these boys—

Josh: I only changed it once.

Tommy: I'm pretty sure you changed it twice. Didn't you just like reword something?

Josh: Yeah, yeah, within 20 seconds.

Tommy: No, I know, but I saw both. Somehow I fucking saw both.

Josh: Maybe you got a notification because I was tagging you each time. Uh, because you know how you tag.

Tommy: Yeah, maybe, but I might not have registered that.

Josh: But what do you think? Because I was trying to work out how to create line separations within the bio so it looked nice. What does it say now?

Tommy: It says, um, podcast with a little fucking microphone symbol and then little film camera emoji, YouTube show emoji, the only talk show for gronks by gronks. I love that. Great guests, relaxed convos. Don't like that. 7 days a week with Tommy Jacket and Josh Janson. I like that.

Josh: And then our website, the great guests and great guests, relaxed convos.

Tommy: What are we, fucking Smooth FM?

Josh: What should we change?

Tommy: I just, I think it's the banter thing has to be in there. Like, I think that's, that is Smooth FM brand.

Josh: Relax banter, relaxed convo.

Tommy: Sorry, great, great, great guests is okay. Great.

Josh: Can you update it now, please?

Tommy: Um, yeah, I don't know. I'm not a word genius. This is why I don't like it.

Josh: Just change it to banter.

Tommy: I can't be fucked.

Josh: But do you remember you were, you were saying that squad was tryhard and now our whole community is called the Gronk Squad?

Tommy: Yeah, and but I said I actually, uh, like it's, it rolls off the tongue better. Gronk, Team Gronk doesn't work.

Josh: Relaxed convos.

Tommy: Relaxed convos?

E: Who the fuck?

Mason: Yeah, it's a bit—

Tommy: no one's— yeah, I'm, I'm seeking relaxed convos, you know. Look, I don't want them too, too in-depth. I know. So you want to criticise someone who's done something, but I will.

Josh: Okay, let's go to—

Tommy: because the Instagram post was Josh and Mason having a good time.

Josh: Before, very inside baseball, and this is a very weekend banter conversation. I posted the reposted— Tofop did a— oh yeah, a, um, a mention.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Now my thing with mentions— thank you, Charlie Clawson, for doing it. I appreciate it. I think that when you do a mention or a recommendation, it takes out some of it when it sounds like it was forced or it's very transactional.

Tommy: I did have a gun to his head in the studio.

Josh: Was I? So that was— So I posted on Instagram. I thought it was quite funny that he was like, Tommy followed me up and asked me to do it. So it feels like very much like the hands tied behind his back and he had to do this.

Tommy: Well, he did say we filmed for them for free, which we did. And then he followed up by saying, and Tom reached out to me and asked where his shout out was.

Josh: Bree said to me, she said, I think that's worse than no recommendation at all.

Tommy: To be honest, I do too, but I'll take it.

Josh: So if you're listening to us from Tofup, from the Tofup episode, please, uh, let us know.

Tommy: It's just morals, debt collecting. I just gotta follow.

Josh: Well, you did it softly.

Tommy: Yeah, I gotta follow the debt. I gotta You know, take the debt. It fucking pisses me off. People, if people owe me $200, people owe me $50, it's not the fucking principal.

Josh: Are you good at paying other people?

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, definitely.

Mason: I mean, it is, it is the principal.

Tommy: You need to reimburse, I need to reimburse you for $4.95, don't I? Yes, on the shoot on Friday. We'll pay it back. I mean, it will just make you look like a tight ass if you ask us for the money, but I will pay it back.

Josh: You should definitely. No, but I think it's like the eggs, the eggs took 6 weeks.

Tommy: Someone didn't pay me rent once and it fucking pissed me off. And it was a token amount and it's just about the person that like it fucking pisses me off. Barefoot Investor, Money Man. Yeah, he pays. You put an invoice in, he'll get paid Friday. Yeah, like that's what I appreciate it. Like that's a value of his, I'd say. But anyone who I work with is some agencies that we've done some work with and we don't usually like to, but they pay really well. And so you're going, okay, well, we know that they're good for it. And so that just— I think it speaks volumes about people that follow through on that shit. So that's— it's just something that pisses me off anyway. Anyway, back to this thing. It was a video of Mason and Josh asking, hey, we're doing Weekend Banter, we'd love some questions.

Josh: We've never done like Q&A on this show, so we've never thought that we're important enough.

Tommy: You've pushed back on it quite a bit. Yeah, well, I think it's the equivalent of, hey, everyone's been asking. It's like, no one's asking. You've just decided you want to talk about that thing and now you're wrapping it in that.

Josh: Well, the Gronk Squad has delivered in regards to questions because they haven't they're not like, how did you get started in— it's all like, would you put, uh, one of them was fuck, marry, or let's do this, let's do it.

Tim: Okay, marry, kill.

Tommy: Anyway, so Mr. 97's got them in, uh, good producer he is.

Mason: It was actually Dill, you'll have to congratulate.

Tommy: Weekend Bandit producer.

Tim: I whipped it into Airtable.

Josh: Whipped it, whipped it, whip it. All right, what was that? You okay? All right, and do you want to go through?

Mason: Yeah, sure. Okay, first question.

Tommy: You direct this, you own the floor, Mr. 97. Okay, yesterday I wasn't proud of you. Um, I love you, but I wanted you—

Mason: I was—

Josh: he on the show yesterday?

Tommy: But I want you to— this is actually—

Josh: shut the fuck up for a bit. Yeah, you and I.

Mason: Okay, yeah, so yeah, we, we've got a few questions. Uh, the first one's from Molly. Would you rather age from only your neck up or only from your neck down?

Tommy: Oh, that's a great—

Josh: Mate, I think, um, I'm gonna say I'd like to age from my neck up.

Tommy: Yeah, definitely.

Josh: Because I think that, uh, what sits on the neck up, it's your brain. It's your, uh, also I think that I'm also getting better. So, you're saying my face is getting better with age. Rig, questionable.

Tommy: Yeah. Well, if you— Yeah, it's a trick question because if you chose, oh, I'd rather age from the body neck down.

Josh: What's the trick?

Tommy: No, you said your brain, like if it has to age up here. So, hang on, wait, wait.

Mason: You said you'd like to age from the neck up.

Josh: Yes.

Mason: But you meant the other way down because you want your brain to stay.

Josh: No, no, no. I thought my brain was going to get smarter as I got older.

Tim: You want your face to get old, but your body to stay young.

Tommy: But it could be a trick question, guys, because does that mean your body from your neck down doesn't age? And so you're a little mini person with a big head. You've got a bigger head than you do already, Josh.

Josh: But it's stopping now, isn't it?

Tommy: Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tim: Say it stops now.

Josh: I mean, okay, thanks, Molly.

Mason: Um, similar, similar vein, would you rather have no elbows or no knees?

Tommy: Oh God, have to go no elbows. No, mate, no knees. What are you doing?

Josh: Can you do these questions in this day and age? Yes, you can. I feel like you're so like, okay, why not? I don't know, because there's probably people who are fucking listening being like, I haven't fucking—

Tim: I was— I don't have an elbow.

Tommy: Yeah, sucks. Yeah, not my problem. You can say you're grateful for having your legs. It doesn't mean you're taking away from the person that doesn't have legs.

Josh: Okay, sure. It's all right. Uh, knees or elbows, what would I prefer not to have?

Tommy: You walk like you don't have it.

Josh: That was actually something Jules Lund the other day. I just, I literally walked, I was walking, I moved around the stairs.

Tommy: You're a big fella and there's a bit of awkwardness to you, buddy.

Josh: Well, just like apparently I wasn't using my neck. It was, you weren't twisting it. Yeah, I wasn't twisting it. But yeah, what we're going to say, TJ.

Tommy: I was just gonna say, there's, um, this was a little video idea and, um, you need to be okay with it, but I've been taking Bodhi to the park and sending him down the hill on his bike. And he's 2 and a half years old and I'm proud as punch. He's a fucking little weapon. He's got no fear, wants to hit the hills. He's doing shit that's like, I'm like, oh God, should I let him? But I was like, I have to.

Josh: What he's asking?

Tommy: Oh, he's asking, but yeah, yeah, more, more, again, again.

Josh: Like loves it. What's the craziest thing he's asked to do?

Tommy: Oh, he just go down that hill like It was a dirt jump park and one of them would be 7, 8 foot high and it's got like quite a steep incline and he's got his little bike and he hit it. But I thought about it, I was like, how about this is a video? Baby v Baby. Bodhi v Josh.

Josh: I'd love that.

Tommy: And it has—

E: and it's—

Josh: Would you clean my bike? I need my, um, bike needs a clean.

Tommy: I'll clean your bike because I will clean Bodhi's bike. I'm the— how about this?

Josh: If my, uh, I can fix it, whatever it is. Chain, it's got a little bit of rust or whatever.

Tommy: Yeah, we'll just spray it with some WD-40.

Josh: It's fine and it'll get rid of the rust. I don't want to see the rust, it's going to annoy me.

Tommy: Yuck, rust on my bike!

Josh: No, no, no, you're a bit like that.

Tommy: But no, not at all. Um, we want to— I want Bodhi to go up against Josh and it's Bodhi doing stuff like that and like climbing over things. I just want to see—

Josh: does he do what, playground stuff? We could do and do that next week. We could do that in the week, this week.

Tommy: I don't know, parkour stuff. I just think it would be really funny where you're doing stuff against him. Yeah, I'd love that eating challenge. Anyway, uh, next question.

Mason: Great, next question. Someone you'd like to spend the whole day with, dead or alive? Hmm, to be a famous person, uh, what's your answer, Mr.

Josh: 97?

Tommy: Uh, maybe Jeff Bezos.

Mason: No, it wouldn't be Jeff. I was thinking Elon Musk, but he'd just be whacked. He'd just be full-on Yeah, um, yeah, Bear Grylls.

Tommy: That's an interesting answer. Why?

Mason: I reckon, I reckon it'd just be— I used to watch Man vs. Wild tapes. Yes, it used to just be on, on the TV, and I used to watch it all the time. I used to be obsessed with him, but I think it'd be fun just going on.

Josh: Oh yeah, it'd teach you everything. Yeah, if you're gonna go— yeah, okay, if you're going Bear Grylls, I'm gonna go Scott Cam. You know, the chippy. Um, what is he? Is he the foreman? No, he's not the foreman.

Mason: That's Dan.

Josh: Well, they've even built out the character of the foreman.

Tommy: Uh, Keith.

E: Keith.

Tommy: Yeah, Keith. Yeah, Keith.

Mason: That's right. Dan's a mini foreman.

Tommy: Scott Cam's the annoying one on site.

Josh: Oh, he's in.

Tommy: But just in the building world, it's like, there's that fucking— the guy from head office again.

Josh: Yeah, I'm trying to think if there's anyone else.

Tommy: 3D Deal. You get one, Josh, too, by the way. Fucking hell. God, yeah, you got Scott Cameron.

Josh: You fucked it.

Tommy: Yeah, um, I'm going Jesus.

Tim: For me to—

Tommy: no, I'm saying for me. Oh, for you. Talk for yourself.

Tim: Ah, Matt Diavella. I mean, I've never spent a day with him.

Josh: You guys have.

Tommy: Okay, you can probably— we could probably organise that.

Josh: We're not in the human trafficking business.

Tommy: But I'm sure we have a coffee with you if you're in LA. We could, Thread Eagle, he's all right.

Josh: We can vouch for him. We both went into the carpentry direction, which was interesting.

Tommy: Jesus.

Josh: Yes. And Scott Camp.

Tommy: A day on site. All right, mate, next time.

Josh: A day on site.

Tommy: That's a good video idea for Josh. A day on site.

Josh: That'd be great. Yeah. We could definitely do, I mean, a day without Spotify Premium would be pretty hilarious. Um, yeah, go on. What's the next one?

Mason: Uh, best childhood memory.

Tommy: Are you gonna say who these are coming from, dude? Oh yeah, it's a waste of all these questions.

Mason: Oh, okay.

Josh: Uh, we're so sorry, Gronk Squad. You went through all this effort. Is it in the Airtable? It's in the—

Tim: I even went through.

Mason: Yeah, I know.

Josh: Okay, that's okay. No, don't get upset.

Mason: Lozino?

Tommy: Loz. Loz. Sorry, mate. Next one.

Mason: Okay, best—

Josh: That was from Loz. Thank you, Loz.

Mason: This is also from Loz.

Josh: Okay, thank you, Loz.

Mason: Best childhood memory.

Tommy: Oh, and also if there's like recurring answers, recurring questions, don't say that it's just from that set. Make it out like there's more people. Okay, okay, okay.

Josh: We'll do, we'll do 4 more anyway. Okay, okay. So the best childhood memory.

Tommy: Josh, I think you're very nostalgic, so I think there would probably be something that pops to mind. Yeah, I've got one that just came to mind. I think this is the game, right? It's not about searching for the fucking best.

Josh: It's like family breakfast yesterday and everyone in my family was pissing me off, so, so anything. So I feel like I can't think of anything positive. All I remember is all the bad shit, all the fights.

Tommy: I'll just, I'll just remind— so when we went away for my anniversary, Amy and I, Amy and my anniversary the other week, we went to a place, Flinders, where we spent a lot of our holidays as kids. And I just have such fond memories of that. It's so nice to fucking go somewhere where it just triggers all these memories.

Josh: Actually, I think I know mine would be going up in the cockpit going to like Daydream Island or whatever, when back in the day you could go in the cockpit and the pilots would show you around.

Tommy: Is it two words? Cockpit?

Josh: Cockpit.

Tommy: Is it?

Josh: It's an apostrophe. Cockpit. It is? Hyphenated. So, no, apostrophe.

Tommy: Is it? It's hyphenated? I think so, yeah. Yeah, it's just, you really emphasise.

Josh: Cockpit.

Tommy: Yeah, I get it. I know where you went.

Josh: Yeah, I think that's probably one. I'm trying to think if there's anything else.

Tommy: No, you got one, dude.

Josh: You get one.

Tommy: You actually get one.

Josh: This is not— This is what I think about Craig Bruce.

Tommy: Yeah, okay, so, uh, when I think it was my grandpa's 70th, Kuckoo is a restaurant.

Josh: Oh great, German.

Tommy: Yeah, we should take deal there.

Josh: Well, it's burnt down, it's been rebuilt, I think.

Tommy: Oh, that would have been 10 years ago, more. We've been going there, I like, I went there when I was 21.

Josh: See, Mason for his, um, camp excursion goes overseas.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: My German exchange programme involved going to Kuckuck, the Kuckuck restaurant.

Tommy: It's amazing. Every hour on the hour, cuckoo clock, cuckoo, comes out and there's like a German band, like German— what are they?

Tim: Did you say all you can eat?

Josh: Yes.

Tommy: Yeah. So it's an all-you-can-eat. There's like a pancake section. So we went there for my grandpa's, I think, 70th, 80th, I can't remember. Anyway, he was old and I'd burnt my hand and I had my hand in a bucket of water.

Josh: How did you burn it?

Tommy: I can't even remember. I burnt my hand so many times as a kid. Always had my hand in a bucket of water. Always. It's crazy. Anyway, my cousins couldn't make it because they were in an old car and couldn't get up the hill at the Dandenongs. The car just wouldn't fucking go. They couldn't get it. It was a manual or something. So they got almost there at the foot of the Dandenongs. And couldn't get up. Oh no, but we were there. I just remember—

Josh: so sad.

Tommy: I just remember the— there was this— a donuts, hot donuts, and there was shitloads of them, all you can eat. I just remember the donuts, it just came to my mind.

Josh: I do, a childhood memory.

Tommy: I've got the boy going because he's— I just mentioned food, now this one's relating to food, isn't it?

Josh: It's Hard Rock Cafe in Melbourne. A lot of Hard Rock Cafe storeys in general, but is it still here? No, it was on Exhibition Street. Terrible for parking. I remember Dad would drop us off and then he would go find parking. But, um, no, I had this ridiculous brownie sundae and I had it all to myself.

Tommy: Third thought, he's got another one, guys.

Josh: Well, the Hard Rock Cafe in Bali, um, Dressed up in a sumo. We did sumo wrestling the first time. First and only time I did sumo wrestling, which was good fun. The cuckoo stuff brings up the all-you-can-eat question and whether, like, my dad is completely against all-you-can-eat restaurants. He doesn't. Gets really angry about them.

Tommy: For what reason?

Josh: I don't know. That's privilege. I think it's probably, Bri, do you know why Dad hates all-you-can-eat so much?

E: No, sorry.

Josh: Okay, that's fine. I don't know either. I actually think it could have.

Tommy: So he got bad pork roll.

E: Well, yeah, but your dad's got funny thing with food anyway.

Josh: Yeah, he always believes that everything is cold, too cold.

E: Yeah, he doesn't like spice or herbs.

Tommy: I think it's a choice.

Josh: He shouldn't have had the baked eggs, should he?

Tommy: I think fussiness is a choice. Yeah, I think you're primed for fussiness. This morning, got a coffee and they fucked up the order.

Josh: That literally happened. That happened this morning with my mum. What did you do in the scenario?

Tommy: Uh, so the, the fuck-up wasn't too bad. It went— it was meant to be a, a 3/4 full strong latte, which just means it tastes full bit. 3/4, 3/4 latte. So the way I— the full bit, the way— yeah, sorry.

Josh: And did you say it to them?

Tommy: I said strong 3/4 latte. That's how you deliver it, so you always get it every time, right? It just makes it taste like a triple shot if you had it in a normal cup. And then she yells out to me, oh, was that a triple shot? I said, no, no, strong 3/4 latte. Anyway, brings out just a strong latte full to the brim, tastes like fucking Big M coffee. So it's like really milky. But I was like, you know what, I'd love— I'd like— I usually love blowing up. Yeah, nah, another— I don't know, it's fine. I knew they'd throw it out. So I was like, that's fine. And I just chose to fucking— not saying I'm a hero, a hero, but for me, I think not all heroes wear capes, guys. They just drink milky lattes. But I just chose to have it. I was like, yeah, this is fine. I'm here with Bodhi and Amy.

Josh: And so when— so all you can eat, a little bit bogan maybe? Yeah.

Mason: Oh well, yeah, I guess buffets is what— just like normal breakfast buffets and stuff, that's not really bogan.

Josh: Well, one thing I learned about buffets Different to all-you-can-eat.

Tommy: Hang on, buffet. What, because it's different to all-you-can-eat?

Josh: But isn't, you know, like, you know, buffets at, uh, like hotels, you're not meant to go up for seconds all the time.

Tommy: Hang on, unwritten rule. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where's that written down?

Josh: I remember finding out somewhere. Look, I mean, if I, if you're meant to trust the guy, they have one Can you look it up? 97. Because is buffet all you can eat? Because I believe that they are actually like, if they don't specify all you can eat, you go up, get your one meal. And some of them are clever about it where they wait.

Tommy: Is she talking about a bistro?

Josh: Say B word. No, no, no.

Tommy: Buffet.

E: Nah.

Tommy: I mean, I've been to a bunch of different style.

Josh: Bree, do you remember this?

Tommy: Like the—

E: Remember what?

Josh: She's not listening.

E: I was looking at the buffet thing for you.

Josh: Oh, that's what I want to know. Do you remember that buffet thing? Do you remember me? Do you remember us finding out that a buffet doesn't mean it's all you can eat?

E: Yeah, it isn't all you can eat. They have to specify that a buffet is a system of serving meals in which food is placed in a public area where the diners can serve themselves.

Josh: Yeah, but it's not all you can eat.

Mason: There's no obligation to supply endless amounts of food.

E: Yeah.

Tommy: You know what? They just have to put these caveats in for fuckwits.

Josh: Well, yeah. Naysan, Dr. Sugar, my mate, Naysan Naraki. Kicked out of an all-you-can-eat pizza place.

Mason: Really?

Josh: 72 slices of pizza he had.

Tommy: I mean, he's rolled out at that point.

Josh: He's not kicked.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And so, he always thinks that's a cool flex. No one's ever impressed. They think he's a fucking pig.

Tommy: All right, next question. Next question. 2 more to go from Ruru. Or 3 more.

Mason: If you could, would you want to know your death date?

Tommy: Wasn't there more to that question? Wasn't it?

Mason: No.

Tommy: No, I'm sure there was.

Tim: We had another question that was similar.

Tommy: Oh, the other question, Ruru, was just an extended version of this. It was, um, sorry, I'm going to blend them too. So, would you prefer to know how you die or what date you'll die on?

Josh: I did hear that one.

Tommy: I think I want to blend the two because I like—

Josh: What's your answer?

Tommy: I would go with date.

Josh: Yeah. I mean, I know how I'm going to die. Because health issues. Let's be honest. All that.

Tommy: Bree's looking morbid over there. She's sad right now.

Josh: I mean, it's gonna be fucking heart disease.

Tommy: So if you know what date you're gonna die on, you can live like you know what day you're gonna die.

Josh: But to be clear, also, I wanna— I'm not like, uh, Dr. Sugar, my friend.

Tommy: He is not a real doctor. He's not a real doctor.

Josh: We call him Dr. Sugar. But he, um, uh, he is very specific of like, oh, I'm gonna die of bad health and all.

Tommy: I'm—

Josh: me saying that, I'm actually not planning on living an unhealthy life. I'm working towards a healthier life. I don't want to be part of the public health system crisis.

Tommy: I mean, Dil's already been a part of the Australian public health crisis. No, but I think knowing the date that you're going to die would be convenient, would be quite powerful. It'd be sad, but I think you'd get over that sadness. Like, if you could put it on a calendar, you just start fucking— I think it's the inspiration you need, JJ.

Josh: I don't know, but have you done— I mean, have you seen our calendars? We have our record time each day. We never fucking look at the calendar. Was yesterday— it was, uh, Friday shoot even in the, um, calendar?

Tommy: No, no, I didn't put it in. Well, it didn't require you, so it wasn't in my calendar. Yeah, no, I didn't put that in. We need to do an overhaul, guys, between, uh, with the calendars. Airtable and just calendars in general, admin stuff. We'll get there. It's the 7 days a week, guys. It's rattled us a little bit.

Josh: That's fine, we'll get back into the calendar anyway. Uh, we'll do one more last question.

Mason: All right, one from Kroger: you go to a pub on Friday, arvo, what are you ordering?

Josh: What do you say, Mr. 97? Then we'll get 3D Dylan.

Mason: I'll get a chicken parma.

Josh: Okay, why?

Mason: Oh, because I'm not drinking anything.

Josh: We can— they have other foods. They've got steak sandwiches.

Tommy: Mate, he's the guy that got the stir-fry at a pub, remember?

Josh: And in regional Victoria.

Tommy: And I thought, what the fuck's a stir-fry? Like, why are you getting stir-fry at a pub?

Mason: It was the only, literally the only thing that had veggies in it.

Tommy: And they came out and they said, what do you mean? And Palmer's got fucking chips and salad, vegetables, potato. Yeah, no, but then they came out and said, sorry, we don't have that because they probably haven't made it in years. Yeah, so you went to Palmer's. Yeah, yeah, parma definitely.

Tim: I'd have to do a club sandwich.

Tommy: They don't do them here, bro.

Josh: Oh, you could get it.

Tommy: What pub?

Josh: As a club sandwich?

Tommy: What pub are you getting a club sandwich from?

Josh: Like, uh, TGI Fridays. Not a pub.

Tommy: I would put my money on it if we walk to the closest pub from here, they won't have a club sandwich.

Josh: They would do one for you.

Tim: A sandwich, a good sandwich, like a steak sandwich.

E: I think it's pretty normal. Pakenham Hotel.

Tommy: Yeah, maybe out your way.

Josh: Oh, your way.

Tommy: Thank you. Where your colleagues live.

Josh: Did you see it or something?

E: Well, yeah, my mum lives out that way.

Tommy: And it's her favourite dish.

E: No, I took her. Well, she took me for dinner. We went to the pub and there was a club sandwich on the menu.

Tommy: I've got nothing against club sandwiches.

Josh: I love it.

Tommy: Are they chicken or turkey?

Josh: What is a club sandwich?

Tommy: Bacon.

Josh: How do you get part of the club? Can we find out, Bri? Can you find out why it's called a club sandwich? There's got to be a very interesting storey with that.

Mason: Derek would know.

Josh: Yeah, Derek would.

Tommy: Yeah, there was another question in there that you missed, uh, the sex shoot whatever.

E: Do you guys want to know? Yeah, um, because it stands for chicken and lettuce under bacon.

Tommy: My God, chicken, bacon, right?

Josh: It's, it's like BLT.

E: It was invented in 1894.

Josh: Chicken, lettuce, under bacon.

Tommy: How did we not know that?

Josh: I'm sure that I've seen turkey club sandwiches. Doesn't exist.

Tommy: Well, I thought they just had like 3 meats in them, some of them. Yeah, that's what I thought.

Josh: That's a—

Tommy: Like Bali, all the, like hotels, a lot of hotels. Like, I think if we went to most of the hotels in Crown, you'd get like along that promenade, they'd have a— There'd be club sandwiches. Yeah.

Josh: They have a— What's that called? Toothpick stuck inside.

Tommy: Dude, I had maybe 15 club sandwiches on my honeymoon. I just— hotels, room service, it was so good. Yeah, so, um, that last one, yeah, the sex shoot, the fuck, marry, kill.

Josh: Yeah, well, it's fuck, marry, kill.

Tommy: Sorry, sorry, so the question is from Josh, you cheeky little bastard.

Josh: Joshua Atkinson.

Tommy: Josh Atkinson. Kill, marry, sleep with. So they're the 3 options. Wait, kill, marry, sleep with? Bree, Amy, Mr. 97. Well, there's— of course I'm going to— fuck, it's hard.

Josh: It's clear I'm gonna fuck Bree, and because I'm married to Amy already, I felt like I read that differently, so now it just puts me into—

Tim: I can't—

Josh: what's the— it's, um, kill. I mean, Mr.

Tommy: 97 is, um, either way the business goes under, the show's done.

Josh: Firstly, with Bree or killer.

Tommy: Even if I marry— like, if I marry her, I can divorce her, and then you know it was just this fucking game that we had to do. So I had to choose one.

Josh: But then who kills who?

Tommy: I'd marry Brie because—

Josh: but then she has to want to marry you.

Tommy: It doesn't say that.

Josh: Okay, sure.

Tommy: I'd marry and I'd kill Miss 97. Yeah. And fuck more.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: But then I'd— no, no, no, no.

Josh: Well, oh shit, see, it's very complicated.

Tommy: Actually, I'd have to then divorce It would be a mess.

Josh: Yeah, absolutely. It'd be a Daily Talk Show disaster, that's for sure. Oh, that was funny. Anyway, oh, well, I guess that's it for Weekend Ben and the Daily Talk Show.

Tommy: Um, how are you guys going? I know I've spoken, I think, most this podcast. Uh, 3D Deal, how you going?

E: Yeah, good.

Tim: Thumb's good. Thumb's almost back to normal now. So, uh, yeah, just chilling, living life.

Tommy: It is Sunday and we didn't— I mean, this whole Weekend Banter thing plus other shoots and stuff has been— it's thrown our week out a little bit. I think we'll be back to it next week. Uh, we don't— we hadn't done our retro on Friday talking about what's been happening. I just want to say, Mr. 97, great work, uh, helping myself out on the shoot Monday and, um, Friday, even though it wasn't in the diary.

Josh: You still showed up. That was rusty, wasn't it?

Tommy: No, you've been getting all your, um, your storage shit going. It's fucking, it's great. You sent me a little photo of all the cards from the shoot that had labels. Oh great, yeah, yeah, really impressed me.

Josh: Thank you to Seagate and QNAP as well for hooking us up with storage stuff. Yeah, which is exciting.

Tommy: And Dill, you're smashing it, mate.

Josh: You've, uh, well, the website— I've been working more with Dill.

Tommy: We shifted gears. Oh, you speak for Dill?

Josh: Yeah, because I've been working with Mason. Yeah, well, no, he's been— he's gone through because we had a guest page where every guest, uh, that's been on the Daily Talk Show has their own page, and he's gone and put together a bio for every single person.

Tommy: I mean, at first I thought, wow, I mean, he's done this writing, but then I think he's written a book too.

Josh: So that's what I was gonna do as well. Pete Shepherd was, you know, and the blog post, Pete actually said, how has this fucker managed to, uh write a book and be the only one writing blog posts as well.

Tim: With a fucked up thumb.

Josh: Yeah, with a fucked up thumb.

Tim: Thank you very much.

Josh: I know, it's pretty— it is impressive. But 3D Doll's mum, I was chatting to her on FaceTime. Were you?

Tommy: Yeah.

Tim: Michelle and I. I was chatting to her and Josh came in.

Josh: Depends how you look at that. I didn't see it that way.

Tommy: Josh is the kind of guy to hand you over a phone with FaceTime on to somebody.

Josh: Yeah, definitely.

Tommy: Like, here, speak to this person.

Tim: I'm like, I've never met you in my life.

Josh: Yeah. It's great. No, but I, uh, so I spoke to Michelle. Yeah. Uh, she was talking about things that Dylan, uh, does at home. One of them was around the butter. So you did an Instagram story, uh, Friday.

Tommy: I got in and I, and, you know, I was at the crime scene. It was— I taped off the kitchen, I called down Dylan and I said, mate, there's been an injury, someone's been hurt. And I looked at his butter and the butter just was— it's a block, but it looked like it had been pecked at by a bird.

Josh: And you're not allowed to do it that way.

Tim: Just a big bird, to be fair.

Tommy: Yeah, like a big bird. Just get a fucking spoon and scoop out the middle. So you just got this— you could literally fill it with water.

Josh: You could do it like that.

Tommy: It could be a bird pond.

Josh: But you could be okay though, wouldn't it?

Tommy: Yeah. And so my point was, Dylan, did you do this? 'Cause if you did, it's your butter, whatevs. I'll just use it.

Josh: And it turns out it was Mr. 97.

Tommy: I mean, I blamed you, Josh. Yeah, I blamed Josh.

Mason: Everyone jumped on you.

Josh: I don't even use butter.

Tommy: Yeah, no, but when you said that, I said, I feel bad.

Josh: Butter is silly. Anyways, it was Mr. 97. But then Dylan's mum was quick to say that if Dylan was back home, he would be 100% the type of gronk to take out the middle of the butter. Fair point. So there was that. But it's also talking about the, uh, the sleeping, uh, you know, the, the other day we're talking about sleep talking.

Tommy: Yes, yes.

Josh: 3D Deal, just stay quiet. Can you tell the, the storey of what happened to you when you were sleeping?

Tim: Yeah, I can and I will. I think I was 10 maybe, and my parents were in our, in the living room downstairs. And they, they said that they heard this noise coming from upstairs, like sounded like someone was like pouring water in a sink or something like that. And they're like, the fuck the hell's going on? So they come upstairs and I had sleepwalking gotten up and out of bed, gone into the bathroom, and then there's this clunking sound. It sounds like someone's closing doors and moving shit around. And I took the garbage can in our bathroom, which is like a small— it's like a 5-liter garbage can, maybe. Yeah. Put it on top of the toilet with the seat down and proceeded to piss into said garbage can while he was asleep. While I was asleep.

Tommy: Did you get it all in?

Tim: I was 10. I don't— I can't— I can't even remember. But apparently I just left it there and then went back to bed.

Tommy: So good.

Josh: I mean, so that's one thing we didn't really talk about too much was the Beyond the sleep talking, there's walking.

Tommy: The walking. Yeah, it's creepy.

Josh: I feel like Mr. 97 would get into walking.

Mason: Yeah, sleepwalking.

Josh: Yes.

Mason: I don't—

Tommy: I don't know, it's not something he gets into. Yeah, well, I mean, I don't—

Mason: Mum hasn't told me any stories. I don't think I do. I don't sleep talk, and I'm pretty sure I don't sleepwalk.

Josh: It's just a perfect human. Yeah, it sounds a bit like it, doesn't it? I feel like I'm very lucky that I don't eat, like, go to the fridge— like, I don't sleep eat. There are people who have to have locks on their fridge. Because middle of the night, sometimes they're like, I think I've got a thyroid issue or whatever. I'm putting on weight or whatever. And they set up a camera and they're just fucking in the night, just fucking eating everything. Isn't that crazy? That's so fucked. I know, it's pretty full on. Oh, geez. Anyway, if you have a chance, go cheque out the new Daily Talk Show website. If you just, you can Google the Daily Talk Show and click through that way. Oh yeah.

Tommy: That'd be easy to say.

Josh: And it just does come up, which is important. But also if you've listened this far, take a screen grab. Share it on Instagram. Wanted to do a shout out to Karen as well. Did you see? Oh, yes.

Tim: Today. Amazing.

Josh: She's taken a sticker that we gave her and she has— She was going to Macau via Hong Kong.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And she has filmed the sticker all around, like her travels. And that was really cool.

Tommy: At least stickers can have holidays.

Mason: Unlike us.

Tommy: I know.

Tim: I know.

Josh: I wonder if that's— If when we have all the stickers sorted, Yeah. We need to try and do a big push to see where we can get these things.

Tommy: I mean, that is the furthest sticker that's travelled from Melbourne, I think.

Tim: Yeah.

Tommy: Or unless you took stickers from States.

Josh: Well, there's one from South Africa. Oh, yeah. No, there's been old ones, not the new ones.

Tommy: This has travelled and we've got footage of it travelling.

Josh: I think we could do a whole video of the journey of a sticker, getting different people's footage and mixing it all up.

Tommy: Well, it's like we need a sticker to get onto I don't know, the Empire State Building, some sort of landmark. Yeah. And so it's like the journey and we see how we can get there.

Josh: Space station.

Tommy: In Florida? I mean, you probably get to a fence.

Mason: No, the International Space Station. That's in space.

Tim: The one that's in space.

Tommy: Oh, in space. Actually, the space station.

Josh: Wait, what one are you talking about?

Tommy: I'm just thinking about the space center, just where it launches to get to the— Yeah, it's fucking in Florida. The only way you're going to get there is from that place. So we got to get to that place first.

Josh: I'm pretty sure like they allow the Russians and stuff to—

Tommy: Yeah, we don't have Russia. We don't mix with the Russians.

Tim: And we're not doing—

Josh: but we've got listeners in Russia.

Tommy: No, but we love Russia. You've got a better chance of getting it to the Americans.

Josh: Well, I feel like Russians could be a bit looser.

Tommy: Maybe, maybe they'll take a bit of— yeah, stickers, something. I mean, we don't have much to offer.

Josh: Shout out, we'll work it out. Yeah, we'll do it. We'll do a shout out and we won't fucking Charlie Paulson it either. It's a daily talk show. Hi@thedailytalkshow.com is the email if you want to send us an email. Otherwise We'll see you, uh, bright and early on Monday. Uh, when will we—

Tommy: tomorrow. We'll see you tomorrow.

Josh: Yeah, what time though?

Tommy: I don't know.

Josh: Okay, we'll see you tomorrow. Bye, see you guys.
