What book did 3D Dyl (Dylan Torreville) write, and who wrote the foreword?
Dylan Torreville wrote 'I'm Still Figuring It Out,' about challenges he faced over three years; Josh Janssen wrote and read the foreword on the show, describing Dyl's journey from emailing the show about 3D-printed squeegees to interning with them in Australia.

Episode TranscriptShow
Josh: The Daily Talk Show. Happy Organized August. It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 411.
Tommy: What's going on, guys? How are we?
Josh: Clap it in, actually. I think that deserves some form of clap.
Tommy: I mean, we're also clapping because it's horses' birthdays today. They all have their birthday on the same day, and that's August 1st. If that's not fucking being organised across the horse—
Josh: horses, what do you reckon Geoff Jowett's doing today to celebrate?
Tommy: He would have— he would have gone to the local ice cream fucking shop and got an horse cake.
Josh: You fucking, uh, he loves it.
Tommy: He loves horses.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: And, uh, he'll also be— that, that sort of horse lover will be on the show next week.
Unknown: Yeah.
Tommy: Um, I just need to say, Mr. 97, when we're asking to pull shit up, you need to close the loop because yesterday we seemed like dummies when we were talking about 4/20 and I was like, oh, maybe it's the time that people like knock off school and go and smoke weed.
Josh: Well, did someone have a go at you?
Tommy: No, because I asked him, I was like, mate, did you find out that? He's like, yeah. I was like, was that— oh, so it must have been after the show that you found it out. He's like, oh no, it was during the show. I was like, and you didn't tell us and we're over here being dummies.
Mason: Well, we got into like balustrades and all this other stuff.
Tommy: Yeah, mate, one job.
Josh: That's fine, feel free to interrupt us anytime. We'll tell you if you're interrupting too much.
Mason: It was, it was the date of Bob Marley's death and it's also the number of chemical compounds in cannabis, which is probably you're completely off.
Tommy: It's completely off.
Josh: I mean, I feel like a fucking idiot.
Tommy: All I was thinking about was when I smoked weed, which was after school, and I finished, you know, around 4.
Josh: Could you imagine if you were in your car or you're on a plane or you're listening to the show?
Tommy: I know, it's so fucking ignorant.
Josh: How many people do you think we lost because they think we're fucking idiots?
Tommy: And it's actually that Mr. 97, the guy with the highest fucking IQ in the room, is just letting us swear. Nah, I'd safely say it's higher than mine and yours.
Josh: He does tests well. He tests well.
Tommy: Well, tests well, if it's an IQ test, he tests well.
Josh: I wonder if that is a thing.
Tommy: We'd panic. We'd absolutely panic.
Josh: Also, congratulations to 3D Dill. August, this is your month of, your final month, but also the month that your book's coming out.
Unknown: Oh yes, yes, it is.
Tommy: Mate, you've one month and 27 days left on Australian soil. Yeah, I mean, uh, before you venture home, how you feeling?
Unknown: Uh, I don't know how to feel really. It's like I don't want it to end, but at the same time, I'm like, I'm looking forward to going home. Yeah, mainly just to see my family and stuff.
Tommy: But I mean, we're a family, aren't we? Yeah, we're family.
Josh: So you didn't give birth to me though, so it's a little different.
Tommy: When I was driving you to the hospital, I felt exactly the same as when I was driving Amy to give birth to Bodhi. Very same vibes. But, uh, also content.
Josh: Definitely.
Tommy: How's Organised August going for you, mate?
Josh: Very good, actually. The energy has been amazing. I know the annoying thing is that Instagram's removed in Australia the like counter.
Tommy: That's for other people. We can find out.
Josh: Yeah, like, but everyone else doesn't know how successful Organised August is being.
Tommy: I see. I see.
Josh: I'm one of those influencers that wants to be able to show how many people are liking it. But it was one of our top post ever organized. The list last night.
Tommy: Oh, fuck. Well, I mean, it's only— what is it, Thursday? We've still got 3 shows to go, but I'd happily give you post of the week.
Josh: Oh, great.
Tommy: Thanks. Clap it in, boys. It's a new thing. It's a new thing. We clap a lot on this show.
Josh: I think it's good. I like it. But the— there's a lot of admin being organized.
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: One of the things I wanted to get organised with that 3D Dill had been on my back about the only thing that was slowing down his— the publishing of his book.
Tommy: When, when he says 'on your back,' uh, you put your hand up for the foreword of this book.
Josh: Yeah, but this is, this is my whole life. It's like I put my hand up for shit and then people like call— calling me out's not even the right word. They ask me, why is your hand in your fucking pocket anyway?
Tommy: Because it's cold. My hand— I'm pretty cold this morning in this office.
Josh: And so the, um, yeah, so he's on the back in the sense of he asked, hey, have you done the foreword for my book?
Tommy: Yeah, no, that's okay. I mean, we've come into— I felt— have you eaten breakfast this morning?
Josh: No.
Tommy: Yeah, I can tell. Why? Um, why? Just, just your, your, uh, I just know you, baby.
Josh: What do you mean?
Tommy: I just know my baby when he hasn't eaten.
Josh: Can you really tell? I think that's just a weird fucking flex. No, no, no, because I came in early.
Tommy: I didn't have time to fucking have breakfast. Remember how I was like, I don't like you fasting? I feel— I sound like a fucking miss— your miso who's just like telling you—
Josh: what do you mean, what's different?
Tommy: Telling you what's— oh, it's just in your energy, just a little bit.
Josh: I've only had black coffee.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, but I think you've been productive, which is the, the motivation. It's the first day of August, it's, it's fucking—
Josh: do you think I'm in the mood, Mr. 97?
Mason: Uh, I didn't notice one when I came in.
Josh: I mean, you're pretty— I had AirPods in, I wasn't really paying attention, so And slightly on the spectrum as well, so you wouldn't necessarily notice. Yeah, it's true though. Do you know, I did this, what I thought was a very funny post. Yeah, on Instagram. Did you see this or no?
Tommy: Oh, this morning, just before, when you were treating our feed like it's a personal garbage yard for your posts.
Josh: Yeah, well, I did something what I thought was quite funny. I'll read it to you.
Tommy: You've won worst post of the week but also best post of the week.
Josh: So Bree had texted and said, FYI, the orange juice needs to be used by today.
Tommy: I mean, how old is this thing? When did you buy it? Yeah, when did you buy it?
Josh: Sunday.
Tommy: Nah, mate, you could push it a week.
Josh: I'm not really consuming that stuff.
Tommy: Yeah, it's annoying when you buy shit on the weekend because you're in that naughty mode.
Josh: Yeah. And then it gets to weekdays and you're like, I really don't want to have it. Anyway, so I did this post, I screen grabbed it, and I said, it's Organized August. There's a lot of noise in this world. Whilst today's non-negotiable is cleaning out your wallet, you might be hit with unexpected things you need to organise.
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: Like finishing the orange juice before it goes off. In this moment, take a deep breath and say, I am organised. Write it down and drink the juice when you get home. Good luck everyone on day 1. #OrganisedAugust.
Tommy: Yeah.
Mason: So, could I just point out, is he or is he not drinking the juice?
Josh: That was his main concern. So are you drinking the juice?
Tommy: Oh, I know it's because the other promise about quitting sugar. That's what Mason's holding you accountable for, every other promise that you put forward. But this is the problem with these kids. They're trying to make you live your best life and it's just stressful, to be honest. You're just encouraging him to go to the gym.
Josh: But my point was, I was just like, put that shit aside. Like, that's not the joke. So he's like, so you are drinking the orange juice? So he completely missed the point. So anyway, we've got all the details on Mr. 97's hair, which is happening on the weekend.
Tommy: Oh yeah.
Josh: Which we'll talk about near the end. Yeah.
Tommy: I mean, what about some emails? Some lovely ones coming through. I mean, they can filter into the hair stuff because there's a lot relating to the hair. Yeah.
Josh: Ben's been on the, on the email.
Tommy: So we'll get to that. I went last night to a house inspection and hopefully we'll be moving to the burbs very soon.
Josh: And you were very bold.
Tommy: Was I? Why?
Josh: I mean, you were extremely confident. So can we talk numbers? Can we talk about where it's all sort of progressed down to?
Tommy: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh: So it started, this place started at $675 a week.
Tommy: Which is way outside of our budget.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: Don't think that we're trying to.
Josh: And so you'd budgeted what, like $600?
Tommy: $600 was our ceiling.
Josh: Yeah. And so you went and checked out the place. It'd gone down to $620.
Tommy: Yeah. And we're talking weekly. If you're overseas, a lot of people overseas, they talk monthly payments. We just look at the weekly payments here. Dill, you talk monthly?
Unknown: I pay monthly.
Tommy: How much do you pay monthly?
Unknown: Uh, for the basement and the room that I have is $550 now.
Tommy: Well, interestingly— Motherfucking hell, you're making me feel bad. I'm paying a house though.
Unknown: Keep in mind it's one room. Yeah, I found a photo actually that I'll show you guys later.
Josh: Oh, great.
Unknown: It's, uh, it's pretty depressing.
Tommy: I can poo in 3 spots in this place. And there are toilets? Oh no, no, that's not toilet.
Josh: It's just 3 rooms. You just go in 3 rooms.
Tommy: Bodhi poos in every room.
Josh: Yeah, that's a flex he's doing at daycare. I can shit in 7 different rooms at my place. Yeah. And so now what I thought was bold was you checked it, checked it out, but then you were so confident, you're like, man, I think, I think we're going to get it. And you said, I offered them $600 a week. Mm-hmm. Wait, this is how they asked for $620. Comes down from, came down from $675 to $650. Yeah. To $620,000.
Tommy: It's a $620,000.
Josh: So it's on $620,000 and then you're walking with a level of bravado and goes, man, I think I got it and I'm offering $600,000. What makes you think that they'll do it?
Tommy: How long the listing's been on for. The fact it goes down in price should be, I mean, to me that's warning signs. Anything starts being reduced in cost, it's like there's a reason, right? And so it seems—
Josh: Just asbestos through the whole thing.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah. And so that's where I'm like, okay, why is this? And I primed with a bunch of questions. So I didn't just lead in with like, you know, $600, tuck it all over. I asked the questions, why hadn't it been filled? Why it's gone down in price? I looked at it and so I was like, would I be willing to not get this? And I asked a few questions. And so I was vibing with the real estate agent.
Josh: And so what did the real estate agent actually say when you suggested $600,000?
Tommy: Yeah, so I mean, they are trying to get the property to the best person for the right price. And so I felt like there was enough. She said that she had asked the owner to bring it down so that we could get more interest because what it was at, you know, like properties fluctuate, right?
Josh: And so, and it's a student market there. So they've got issues where students are coming in and doing share house operations. Yeah, mummy and daddy sending money.
Tommy: Sometimes it doesn't arrive. And so they've got a real problem.
Josh: And so they want sort of family to go in.
Tommy: So they knocked back 4. So I already knew all of this before I said this. And I was like, ah, okay, they're looking for a long-term tenant and potentially we can be that long-term tenant. How about 2 years instead of the 1-year lease agreement? How about 2 years at $600?
Josh: Was Bodhi with you when you inspected?
Tommy: Nah, nah, nah.
Josh: So the kid that's going to shit in every room didn't— Very deep. Yeah.
Tommy: So anyway, she said, oh yeah, that could, that could be an offer. And this is the thing, right?
Josh: If you offer that, it's actually saying that could be an offer is not as strong.
Tommy: I don't know if she said, she said, oh yeah, so you can put that forward because she just then puts it to the owner, right? It's not her making the decision. She then takes it to the owner. But if it's like, if we do 2 years, it's actually showing that we're, I mean, if we do it, if we get that, it's, it's saved us $1,000 a year. Yeah. It's a sick saving.
Josh: And so do you think that you'll, um, If they were to say, no, we'll do it for $620, do you reckon you actually go up?
Tommy: Yeah, because I see that the $1,000, if we don't like it after a year, then we can go.
Josh: So you're going to say, look, if you want it for $620 a week, we're only going to commit to a year.
Tommy: Oh, we've already submitted it and put the 2-year lease with a $600 offering. And so they'll just come back to us and they'll say, yeah, you've got it, but you can only do a year for $620 and would say yes.
Josh: Oh, that's what they're going to do.
Tommy: Well, she knows that we'll take it for a year. It wasn't like, we're not taking it if it's not.
Josh: So how was the whole inspection anyway?
Tommy: Yeah, it was good. I mean, you walk around the house. I kind of, I did something where the lights were flickering and so I start going, what's happening here?
Josh: Minus $10.
Tommy: And she's saying, oh no, it's just started. And that's like, yeah, that's cool. My brother's electrician, sort that out. And so I went around to the power box and I just, you know, open it up. You kind of just looking like you know what you're doing.
Josh: Definitely you. I mean, that's sort of your specialty or a skill. It's definitely that.
Tommy: I don't know what I was looking for, but I opened it up and saw that it had a switchboard but also had a smart meter.
Josh: And do they have NBN there?
Tommy: I don't know.
Josh: What's the internet like? I don't care. You fucking kidding me? You inspected somewhere and you don't even know what the internet is?
Tommy: I don't give a shit, mate. I'm not like you that spends $175 a week.
Josh: I actually downgraded.
Tommy: A month. A month.
Josh: I brought it down to 99.
Tommy: I mean, if I can get Dodo, it doesn't matter.
Josh: You're a dumb dumb if you use Dodo.
Tommy: Seriously, I don't—
Josh: is literally horrendous. If you're not in Australia, Dodo is just— it's not ideal.
Tommy: I can use my phone, 4G. It's good coverage. It's all good. We got literal vantage points.
Josh: You're gonna use Netflix.
Tommy: That's all I use at home. I don't use internet like you do at home. I don't download shit. Never have in my life. I actually want my home to be a sanctuary away from fucking working with you gronks. As much as I love it.
Josh: So you were banging out my Stanley Tasmania thing and you've just built it.
Tommy: Yeah, but I actually come to, come to the office. It's all good. Anyway, so I'm taking a photo of—
Josh: I'm not just fucking moving to Stanley. Go on, go for it.
Tommy: Taking a photo of this power box and then I was called out for my, um, my fuckery.
Josh: Why? Because I'm taking it and she's like, what's that for?
Tommy: She's like, what are you doing? And I, and I realised that the last inspection we went to, we were sitting out the front of the car and I saw a girl going up into, you know, the inspection as well. We'd already come out, so this is another property we didn't get. But then I saw her around the side doing the same thing, just taking a photo. I was like I was impressed by seeing her take a photo. I was like, I wonder what she's doing.
Josh: It definitely—
Tommy: so I just took a photo. I might post that on, um, yeah, Instagram.
Josh: It keeps them honest, don't you think? Like, if anything, like, she was projecting that she was worried that you're on to something.
Tommy: My thinking— this is my thinking— I take a photo, show it to my brother, and he might know something about the flickering lights. But we were laughing about how—
Josh: with the property manager?
Tommy: Yeah, we were laughing with her. Because I— it was like they caught me out.
Josh: It's pretty funny.
Tommy: Had the flash going and everything.
Josh: How many photos did you take?
Tommy: I got one dark one and one.
Josh: What about of the actual place? Did you take many?
Unknown: I didn't take any.
Mason: Really?
Josh: So just the only photo you have of the whole thing is the power box.
Tommy: That's the only photo I've got. I mean, they're online and I thoroughly went through because—
Josh: I like doing videos. I noticed that it's good because then you can sort of work out like—
Tommy: I should have done that. I should have done that, but I checked the water flow.
Josh: What does that mean?
Tommy: The bathroom, like from the shower head. Yeah, pressure.
Mason: I just— it comes out.
Tommy: I checked that. I checked inside the dishwasher.
Josh: For what?
Tommy: I just— seeing what it looked like.
Josh: Did you take a photo? No.
Tommy: You know when you do shit? It's like when you— it's like people who literally kick a tyre. What else are you meant to fucking do? What are you meant to do? Yeah, fucking good tyre. It's like we do stupid shit when we're looking at things because you You're actually— Ellen, Ellen DeGeneres on her Netflix special, the comedy special is so funny where she talks about when you try new shoes on and you do shit in the shoes while you've tried them on that you'd never do when you had the shoes, like rocking back and forth, like, you know, just like a little jog. It's like you never do that shit.
Josh: We're amateur inspectors.
Tommy: We are. I think most people are, unless you're a builder or an electrician. You got no business taking a photo of a power box.
Josh: How about this is a very sort of inspection-heavy show, but you know how I was talking about Bri not happy with one of the cupboards? The landlord ended up coming and surprising and being like, hey, I'm actually the landlord and couldn't do anything. So, they're like, we're going to send someone who can actually fix it.
Tommy: Yeah. And they have. Have they done that? That was a couple of weeks ago.
Josh: Yeah. So, they said that and then the beginning of this week, they sent out a guy, rocks up and he's in a suit and he's like, bro, he's like, you know, where's the toolkit or whatever? And it was like the builder, it was like the senior builder who wasn't, who couldn't, still couldn't do it. They've got that many people fucking inspecting this cupboard before they actually do anything. It is absolutely outrageous.
Tommy: And what's the next, what's the next action?
Josh: Well, they need to fucking get a screwdriver or something and do it. I reckon in the time it's taken them, I could have watched a YouTube video and worked it out. But I won't. Well, Organised August, maybe you could put it on your list.
Tommy: Maybe you put it on the list for like back, back end of August. And if they have just been fucking around, haven't done it, JJ gets his hands dirty, rolls his sleeves up to use his space gloves.
Josh: Emails. What have we got coming through, 97s?
Mason: Well, we've got a few about my hair. Yeah.
Josh: What are they saying?
Mason: Okay. One was from Ben. He's just like, Gronks, love the show, the banter, the shit giving, great work. Mr. 97, as someone who has bleached their hair on a whim this year, here here are some tips. Number 1—
Josh: tips, pun intended, do you think?
Mason: Maybe.
Josh: Do you get that joke?
Tommy: He's touching his hair, he's like, tips. Yeah, yeah.
Mason: Um, don't wash your hair for a week before, the dirtier the better, it will save your scalp from burning off.
Tommy: Tip 2.
Mason: Tip 2, uh, it'll look shit house for the first week and then it will look magnificent.
Tommy: Oh, fuck yeah. Tip 3.
Mason: Make sure you use purple shampoo and conditioner. Make the boss gronks pay for it.
Josh: Yeah, it's gonna cost a bit. Toning shampoo, it's fine. Growing up, there was a time where I used it so much as a kid.
Tommy: Oh, because you're shitty.
Josh: Because my bleached hair always needed to tone. Even after my toning, like my bleach had finished, I would still buy the toning shampoo, the purple. I was just like, oh yeah, the purple shampoo is the one that I use. And it wasn't until later that I was like, oh fuck, I don't need this anymore.
Mason: Tip 4, tip 4, uh, get a proper salon to do it.
Josh: Yeah, well, we've got, got news on that.
Mason: Yeah, great. 5, just do it, you gronk. And 6, ask for a pay rise.
Josh: Yeah, great. Or baboons.
Mason: Or those, uh, looking forward to another 10 years of laughs and throwbacks from Josh. Keep it up, guys, you were killing it.
Josh: From Josh? I am throwing back.
Tommy: Throwback.
Josh: Nostalgia. Any, any others?
Mason: Yeah, we got another one from Coco.
Josh: Yeah.
Mason: Hey team, I'm really loving the podcast. Just thought I'd let you know, Mr. 97, that the bleach will take a long time to get rid of. I bleached mine 2+ years ago and the ends still show signs of it. Obviously your hair is much shorter, but just be aware. Also, mine ended up very much like straw, so make sure you use lots of conditioner and coconut oil to keep it healthy.
Josh: You'll definitely be doing that. A lot of coconut oil.
Mason: Keep up the great work, all of you. Josh, you're hilarious. Actually, all of you are.
Tommy: Ah, thanks. Luckily we got that in the invoice.
Josh: Yeah, these emails. Maybe I'm sending them. I mean, you got a beautiful email from Ian. Like mine is very much, I feel like mine are a little bit tokenistic maybe where it's just like we get these beautiful ones like, you're going to be a great dad, all this sort of thing. And then it's like, Josh, you're a funny boy.
Tommy: I was speaking with Dill Takes Photos from over in Dublin last night. Burning the midnight oil on the way home. We're just like sending video messages back to each other. Yeah, I was at the bus stop.
Josh: Yeah, because he always sends videos.
Tommy: Yeah, it's lovely.
Josh: But I always feel like a creep because I'm like the— you know, growing up when you had a webcam and so you'd do a webcam and you would talk to the person and then they would just type. Your mate didn't have a webcam, so they would type back. That's what I do to him. And so what were we talking about?
Tommy: And he said that He was just referencing something that you said, which is around the magnesium tablets.
Josh: Oh yeah. And, um, is just where you said that you woke up and with an erection, with an erection, because yeah, because if you have too much magnesium, uh, basically— but you were saying yesterday that you believe the penis is not a muscle.
Tommy: It's not a muscle. We already know this. We've looked it up, Mr. 97. He'll pull nothing up quicker than this. Yeah, he's just hanging on the 4-tweeter.
Josh: He's got to find the tab. That's his favorite. That's right.
Mason: What is it? It's not a muscle.
Josh: Can you look up magnesium erection then? How is it?
Tommy: It's doing something with blood flow. It's nothing to do— it's not saying—
Josh: and so I woke up with an erection.
Tommy: You woke up with an erection.
Josh: From having too much magnesium.
Tommy: Anyway, he was just referencing something really funny and he just said that there's a lot of sort of things that could be missed because we are going so fast. The band is so fast.
Josh: I appreciate it.
Tommy: But then he made a comment and he said that we remind him of Ricky Gervais and Karl Pilkington.
Josh: Who's the idiot?
Tommy: And I said, this is why I sent the video back. And I said, mate, which one am I?
Josh: And what did he say? You're Ricky.
Tommy: I'm Ricky and, and I'm the big 6-foot.
Josh: That's fine. I'll take that.
Tommy: Doofus.
Josh: That's all right. Everyone, every show needs a doofus. It's good. Like we've got an A7 and Dyl as well.
Tommy: The doofuses.
Josh: Yeah, the doofuses. The Three Stooges. Any other emails? No subs?
Mason: I mean, there's one from José.
Josh: Oh, it was José. I can't actually remember.
Mason: So no. So he, he sent us a Cameo request to reenact a scene from Zoey 101.
Tommy: I'd never seen this.
Mason: I'd never seen it.
Josh: Zoey 101 is a Nickelodeon show.
Tommy: Yeah, it was sort of— I watched a bit of it.
Josh: Very much a Nickelodeon or Disney.
Tommy: It looks like that era. Like it's, you know, fucking— What was that one on the horses?
Josh: Sleepover Club?
Tommy: Something like that.
Josh: Yeah. In Australia.
Tommy: No, no, no, it's not that, but it's like Drake and Josh. It's got that sort of animation, that animated You know, little American kids. Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it is Nickelodeon. Yeah, I went to, um, Drake from Drake and Josh. I went to his house up in the Hollywood Hills one night after a party. Yeah, it was like the old, old Hollywood style, like terracotta roof and—
Josh: what does that mean?
Tommy: Multi-level, like, you know, like picture like Spanish homes that have those like round terra— like tiles. Reddish. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it just looks like this old sort of Spanish house and it was in Lust Fearless, I think, in like looking towards the Hollywood sign. Yeah, yeah, around there. Anyway, beautiful home. And I walked in. I mean, it'd probably be something we'd do. The guy had every one of his Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards that he'd won just fucking straight up on the wall mantelpiece. Big bright orange things. And I was just like, this is amazing. This is next minute he's fucking playing drums and singing for me. I was just egging him on.
Mason: He's just finished.
Josh: Just for you.
Unknown: Just for you.
Tommy: Well, I was there with two other people.
Josh: Okay, that's not that big though.
Unknown: That's—
Josh: he's doing a photo. I've got video of it.
Tommy: I was just like secretly filming.
Josh: I'm like, this is fucking sick.
Tommy: It's Drake from Drake and Josh.
Josh: I don't know about secretly filming people like that.
Tommy: I mean, secretly filming. I had my fucking phone like that.
Josh: Well, it's not secretly filming then.
Tommy: Yeah, I guess. But yeah, he probably knew. Probably thought I was just being sly. I mean, it's not like I was fucking—
Josh: I think you should have just owned it.
Tommy: Yeah, I should have just Yeah, just put it out. Give them a release form. Drake, I'm filming you.
Unknown: Drake.
Josh: Well, I feel like that's such a—
Tommy: YouTube copyright, can I use this please?
Josh: Please? I just feel like, yeah, it's a little bit—
Tommy: I mean, this is— but I do it all the time. I don't even think about it like I'm being hidden camera.
Josh: Great job, by the way, 97 on all the email updates. The—
Tommy: Yeah, so yeah, he asked us to recreate a scene and then I went down a bit of a rabbit hole, looked at this scene, watched the video. Yeah. And then I connected the dots when he sent another email saying—
Josh: Is it related to fate again?
Tommy: Yes. What was the other email he sent? He sent the one about the tickling thing.
Josh: Oh, that was on YouTube.
Mason: Oh yeah, that's the same, same bloke.
Tommy: I thought you said it was the same guy.
Josh: No, I don't think—
Tommy: no, I'm pretty sure it's—
Mason: so there's one from Cameo.
Tommy: So he sent us one in Cameo saying you could recreate a scene.
Mason: Yes.
Tommy: And then he sent us an email.
Mason: Yeah, yeah.
Tommy: Saying, can you recreate the scene? Look at this moment. And one of the scenes is, uh, this young girl asking a young boy to like put out his tongue and she's putting a vacuum cleaner onto his tongue, sucking out all the germs because he's a bit sick. Next minute, cut forward 20 minutes to the other time code that he gave us. And this kid's got his feet in like, you remember, like olden days, like slaves, you know, had their head through like a fucking wooden thing and they're like trapped. It was like that, but his feet were through it. And she had this thing that was like tickling his feet.
Josh: Fuck, this is the whole— Have you seen Tickled?
Tommy: Have you seen it?
Mason: Different username, but I reckon probably the same.
Tommy: Hang on, wait, but they've both referenced that show. Nah, nah, fuck.
Josh: Have you seen the documentary Tickled?
Tommy: Oh yeah, man, this is—
Josh: we're just fucking entering into this territory. Seriously.
Mason: Jose.
Josh: No way, Jose. No, I don't think we're—
Unknown: fuck, that's good.
Josh: Get it as a snippet.
Mason: No way, Jose.
Josh: How many times have you heard that? Is like, you got me, Josh. Um, yeah, no, we're not doing that.
Tommy: Yeah, I mean, but for a price, what would it be? Like, I don't know, fund us, fund us for a year, fund us for a year, fund this daily talk show for a year.
Josh: At this point we're whoring ourselves out, which we've got to— I guess we've got to do a Cameo. What's going on now? What have you got on your screen?
Mason: They're just screen captures of the documentary.
Unknown: Tickled.
Tommy: Oh, he's looking at Tickled. Yeah, I mean, watch it, it's, it's so, it's so bizarre. It's great. So Hair update. Some great hair suggestions, salon being one. It was something I was concerned about. I wanted baby boy to be in the hands of someone capable.
Josh: In saying that, when you get a bit flustered, um, that goes out the window because you also said, yes, let's just fucking do it at the office.
Tommy: Oh no, no, not by us, but I was saying somebody who's a professional come with their full gear. Like, you can get someone to come do it. Home job that's a professional. You know, there's a bunch of traveling, um, travelling hairdressers.
Josh: Yeah, and I get that.
Tommy: Hairstylists.
Josh: So do you want it? Do you want the update? Do you want to hear what's happening?
Tommy: I want the update.
Josh: So Queen Gronkh, Gemma Watts, she is prolific in Australia as one of the top beauty writers. She's, even though she appears on our show, she's actually extremely, has a lot of credibility.
Tommy: Yeah, you know her reputation's so strong when she can appear on our show and not damage it.
Josh: It's amazing. Yeah. Because we are the show that damages brands. It's one of our sort of taglines. Yeah. But she has pulled in the most ridiculous favors. Would you call them? Yeah. Favors. She's— she has pulled all the strings within the industry. I'm fucking getting emails. Michelle and Zara have just released their newsletter. Yeah. Got their newsletter. Check that out. You can go to their website and subscribe. Shameless, great podcast. So, what Gemma has organised is we're starting at King's Domain, which is a hair place.
Tommy: Yeah, it's a barbershop, hairdresser.
Josh: Then we're going to go across the road to the other salon to do the colour. And the person who is doing the hair colour Right. You wanted a professional.
Tommy: I wanted a professional. And so I wouldn't settle for anything less.
Josh: What Gem has organized, Queen Gronkh has organised Rachel Vitullo, who is the Australian Colorist of the Year 2019.
Tommy: Oh, fuck. So that's safe hands.
Josh: Not 2015, not 2012, 2019.
Tommy: I mean, this is the thing. You always get someone on that's, yeah, 2017, I was the winner. They lead with it. This is this year.
Josh: Someone in 2000, the winner of 2002 would have been great for bleaching hair though. When would the last time Rachel would have actually done like a bleach job like this?
Tommy: I mean, when you win your— maybe this is her first, maybe she's won 5, but if it's her first, I feel like that's like she's in her prime this year. Yeah, it's, it could be another, she could be the back-to-back winner.
Josh: Yeah. And so we are going to do it on Saturday. It's gonna be weekend banter. We're gonna film at the salon. Yes, it's gonna be fucking epic.
Tommy: Yeah, I think we're all— I think the salon where we're actually going over to, the person who owns King's Domain, yeah, uh, Joey Scandizzo, yeah, he, um, has one of the most thriving salons. So if you're getting your hair done there, this is like the place to be.
Josh: Yeah, this is the place to be. Barbers and Joey Scandizzo Salon.
Tommy: Yeah, Joey has won.
Josh: He's still got Joey's— the cuts.
Tommy: Look up Joey's cred— creds. Unbelievable. He's— that guy's won like fucking—
Mason: type in Joey S and his name just pops up.
Tommy: Yeah, how many? Read out his awards. Not to overshadow, but I mean, if she's being guided by him—
Josh: yeah, there's a lot of awards going on.
Tommy: We're in safe hands.
Josh: And so I think like the great thing is what I'm seeing is another fashion shoot opportunity. Oh, you know what I mean? And I love it.
Tommy: Can we get him a sponsorship? Can we get him— actually, we're his agents, but can we get him work that then feeds back? And so you don't want to go, you don't want to go to like, um, I don't want to get him on the books because I might fucking just blow his head up a bit too much. And then, you know, imagine if he was on Vivienne's. He's in the next minute, sorry boys, I gotta, I gotta shoot, I'm jetting off to Milan. You know, we got—
Josh: it would be— so we don't want to try and get him on Vivienne's?
Tommy: I've got, look, I've got showings, I've got, you know, I'm doing a lookbook today.
Josh: I'd be all for that. I think that we need to—
Tommy: Tommy D, we could get, uh, my mate Tommy D who's actually over in Germany modelling at the moment. Julian Haig, he's a— he's an amazing model.
Josh: I think that there's the opportunity for Mr. 97 to sort of, especially with the hairstyle, doing that sort of alt scene. Don't you think?
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: Like sort of more—
Tommy: I mean, Mixkit may be looking for a bleach blonde theme.
Josh: Absolutely. We could definitely get some stock of that. I think that would be great. I'm so pumped.
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: This is—
Tommy: What an August. You're a good sport, Mr. 97.
Josh: It's going to look great. You've got— I mean, one of his only prerequisites was that it was done by a professional. We have Rachel Vitullo, the fucking Australian Colourist of the Year 2019.
Tommy: Did you find Joey Scandizzo?
Mason: Yeah, there are a lot of accolades.
Tommy: Yeah, mate, read them out. That's what I asked.
Josh: Do you think that they can work on my folliculitis as well?
Tommy: Mate, they would have a tip.
Josh: It's not a dermatologist, but I'm sure that they'd be able to say, hey, maybe we'll do this to your hair and it will help. Yeah, maybe, maybe not.
Mason: You could just ask them for tips anyway.
Tommy: Is that another pun? Read them out quickly.
Mason: Okay, uh, Hairdresser of the Year 2018, 2012, Australian Masters Award 2012, People's Choice Award 2011, Australian Hairdresser of the Year 2011, 2010, Kids' Nickelodeon Choice Award, Trend Vision National Winner 2010, 2007, 2003.
Josh: We're surrounded by complete experts.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah.
Mason: Trend Vision Paris top 6, Trend Vision Barcelona.
Josh: Barcelona.
Tommy: You had me at TrendVision Berlin.
Josh: Yeah, we've got, we've got the best.
Tommy: Yeah, this is great.
Josh: And we've got the 2019 Colorist of the Year.
Tommy: This is great.
Josh: Okay, um, before we go, I want to read out the foreword. Foreword or forward? Forward. Forward.
Unknown: Yeah.
Tommy: What do you— why do you even pull yourself up?
Josh: Forward.
Tommy: Forward.
Unknown: F-O-R-E-W-A-R-D.
Josh: Forward. Forward.
Mason: Forward.
Josh: For the book.
Mason: It's forward.
Tommy: It's moving forward.
Unknown: F-O-R-E-W-A-R-D. Has no E. Yeah, the foreword for a book or a movie or whatever is with an E.
Josh: Okay, so, and so you want to explain what's going on?
Tommy: Foreword. Say it in Gil's accent, you get away with it. Yeah, you just say it.
Mason: Foreword.
Tommy: Foreword. Uh, you say that in his accent, you get away with it. But this right now is the foreword that Josh put his hand up, said he wanted to do. Let's— what's the book?
Josh: How do we explain the book? Uh, 3D Deal.
Unknown: Sorry, say that again.
Josh: What do you think I said?
Unknown: No, I just heard like 3 different things.
Tommy: Yeah, he couldn't believe that it wasn't him saying the foreword. Yeah, because he thought that was him on the mic. He's like, how's this fucking happening? These fucking headphones. Um, so Josh asked, what is this book that he's written the foreword for?
Josh: Yeah, explain the book.
Unknown: Explain the book. It's, it's interesting. That's what it is. It's kind of like the challenges and stuff that I went through over the last 3 years. And basically, like I said before, I wrote the kind of book that I would have wanted to read 3 years ago to help me out in the place that I was in, in my life at that time. So, I mean, some people may like it, some people may not. That's not really up to me to decide.
Josh: It's the best things in life.
Unknown: Exactly.
Tommy: And free. And is it free?
Josh: No, but it's also not everyone likes it, I think.
Unknown: And I'm really excited that you wrote it because—
Josh: Yeah, just the foreword. Just the foreword. Foreword. How many hours was that flight, by the way, to get here?
Unknown: From the moment I left Toronto?
Josh: Just like if I was to add up the flight from Toronto to Vancouver and Vancouver to Melbourne.
Tommy: 13-hour, isn't it?
Unknown: 16 hours, 35 minutes from Vancouver to Melbourne and then 4 hours, 45 from Toronto to Vancouver.
Josh: So like 19 hours, 20 hours, it's 20, 20 hours, 21 hours. Okay, cool.
Tommy: Yeah, always round it up. Okay, okay, here we go, here we go.
Josh: So this is The Forward. I can extend it, we can make changes still.
Unknown: No worries.
Josh: Um, here we go. Sorry, when I fast, I—
Unknown: yeah, you did it. That's the—
Josh: get a bit burpy.
Tommy: Right now you are listening to The Forward for the book.
Josh: You've never listened to a fucking audio book.
Unknown: That's right.
Tommy: I'm doing my—
Mason: Audible presents.
Tommy: Fuck that idiot, this is not an Audible. Presents.
Josh: But you wouldn't say, now you're about to listen to the foreword.
Tommy: Just, mate, we do it our own way here.
Josh: Don't do it.
Tommy: Uh, you are right now about to listen to the foreword for Dylan Torreville's book I'm Still Figuring It Out.
Josh: Which one's the editor again?
Tommy: Written by Josh Jansen.
Josh: Just the foreword.
Tommy: Spoken by Josh Jansen.
Josh: When a Canadian college kid emails an Australian podcast with the idea of flying 21 hours to deliver some 3D squeegee printed squeegees, you'd be fair in calling him weird and full of shit. But 6 months later, to his word, Dylan Torreville arrived in Australia on Air Canada flight 2037 with a red baseball cap, Roots tracksuit pants, and clutching onto a plastic folder filled with documents for customs. We finally met 3D Dill. If you come to Australia, you'll get a nickname, and for 3D Dill, his consistent emails— email updates on his 3D printing process secured him his name quickly. As an industrial design student, Dill was well-versed in designing and 3D printing squeegees. The reason behind the squeegees is an in-depth joke on our show and I don't have the time to get into it. Ep 14 if you're curious. But when Dyl got on that plane, he wasn't just delivering some squeegees. He was embarking on one of the most challenging things he'd ever done, an overseas 4-month internship with big media company and the daily talk show. Why? Because Dyl sees opportunities. He has the tenacity to dream big and is steadfast in his approach. Dill built a case how he could bring value as an intern for our business, but there was convincing he needed to do beyond us, from his teachers to his parents, and most importantly, convincing himself. He was just figuring it out. Like any successful entrepreneur, athlete, or artist, he leaned into the unknown. Dill understands that figuring it out isn't arriving at a specific destination. Figuring it out is accepting that we can only do our best. If you're trying to find your path, you will love this book. If you need help convincing yourself that you're on the right path, you will love this book. And most importantly— I make myself cry, it's so good— most importantly, if you're someone who believes in dreaming big and pushing against the status quo, You will love this book, and deal's just getting started.
Tommy: Wow, that's good.
Unknown: I could give you a big wet kiss right now.
Josh: Did you like it?
Mason: Beautiful.
Tommy: Amazing forward for a guy who hasn't written— read the book.
Josh: I got the vibe. I think it was on brand.
Unknown: And yeah, you pretty much—
Tommy: no, you hope that it doesn't define you.
Josh: It was pretty close.
Unknown: I couldn't have written anything better.
Tommy: Can we get it on record, there's no defamation within the book about big media coming today.
Unknown: Josh Jantz, myself, there is no defamation.
Tommy: Okay, great, I'm happy with that for you. That's great, that was well written, well done.
Josh: Thank you, did that this morning.
Unknown: Good job.
Josh: Uh, thank you. We're getting, uh, organised August, that's what it's all about, fucking ticking off things. Yeah. Uh, so tonight I'm, um, what am I gonna do in regards to the wallet? Plan is going to Doncaster shopping set Westfield in Doncaster and I'm going to Milligram and I'm going to get a nice Bellroy wallet.
Tommy: Can you also buy me the book that you want me to write my ideas into?
Josh: Yeah, I won't get you a fountain pen because you wouldn't be able to fucking write with it.
Tommy: No, no, definitely not.
Josh: You literally—
Tommy: I'd snap it.
Josh: Yeah. You haven't got even your fucking pen licence yet, let alone a fountain pen.
Tommy: Just leak. Remember Gronks at school that had fucking just pockets that had massive ink stains? That was a real thing.
Josh: I feel like Dill would have, I feel like the artist, he would have had to have some.
Unknown: I never, never, never. I always had it in a little case.
Tommy: Yeah.
Unknown: Yeah, I was, I was never one of those to put it in my pocket. Now I do, but yeah.
Josh: Okay. Um, it's a daily talk show. It's very exciting. Uh, tomorrow, uh, Fixo. Yeah, Andy Wan is on the show, and, um, I'm excited about this one because He started Melbourne Roubaix, which is an epic bike ride in Melbourne, which I had actually seen a few years ago when I was living in Abbotsford in Melbourne. I'd see all these people dressed up riding along. I was like, what the fuck is going on?
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh: And then I found out that it's been going for all these years and we did a video with Quad Lock.
Tommy: He's a guy who's created a movement and we've made a film about him. You should see it. Just YouTube. Oh yeah, put in the show notes. But if you can't be bothered looking at that, just literally look Melbourne Roubaix Quad Lock, which is easier.
Josh: I reckon probably just going in the show notes is easier. But, um, that's great. He's got so many interesting storeys from fucking being an alien in New York City, working illegally in New York City. There's a lot of interesting stuff there. So that's on, um, tomorrow's show. And then, uh, the weekend Very exciting. I mean, it's gonna be bleached hair, a new lease of life for Mr.
Tommy: 97 across this weekend. Blondes have more fun. Yeah, Mr. 97.
Josh: Yeah, send any emails of encouragement, any final thoughts, and we'll read them out.
Tommy: If you've done it before, I mean, good stories, bad stories, we— it's always good. Bad storeys usually add, you know, greater content to the show, so I can send them through.
Josh: And then on Sunday, uh, Trev Long joins us, tech expert. Yeah, he's always out and about. Gronkh, fellow Gronkh. And he's— yeah, we'll be chatting with him as well. He'll be coming from Sydney. Yeah, it's exciting. That's where he lives.
Tommy: It's a guy we've never met before, but he's been on the show many times.
Josh: Exactly. We've got to ask him about whether we can get fucking Dyl up there.
Tommy: Oh, we still have to. We still got time. Just 27 days left.
Unknown: We got time.
Josh: So hopefully Sydney is a short flight.
Unknown: Yeah.
Josh: Yeah. Or train. The other thing is there's the train.
Tommy: He's not doing the train.
Josh: Takes 11 hours. Oh, you do an 11-hour train if that was the difference between Kidding me?
Tommy: That's horrible. It's not like for 16 hours on a plane and I almost fucking— no, but it's not like the plane seats—
Josh: you nearly died?
Unknown: Well, yeah, I mean, he's being hyperbolic.
Tommy: He actually had 7 meals, 40 drinks.
Josh: Yeah, and he also paid for extra legroom. It's a daily talk show. Uh, we'll see you tomorrow, guys. See you guys.
