0:53
I just reveal who I am behind closed doors. Now. We've got an exclusive this morning. I was
1:00
You James already in the cocktail.
1:04
Is it cream? Not something coconut. Coconut. I
1:10
really want to try but I can't imagine it could have a little bit of apple. I try it for you Tommy I'll try the exclusive I was just gonna say this morning. Tommy lead off the glitter bomb. Yes I did. And oh
1:27
come on. Where's the camera?
1:31
Oh my god. Amazing.
1:33
Tell us what what have we got here? We got some octopus with harissa and Scott abaya, which is a potato chip. Here we've got the zucchini GIFs there with a little bit of better deal. Oh, yeah.
1:46
Give me one sec. That's exactly how I would have pronounced.
1:51
Today we're gonna just be having dishes throughout the show here at Sedona. 50 years, over 50 years you've guys have been in operation
2:00
look pretty good.
2:04
So third generation generation. Yeah. So with that a little bit of practice Yeah, one thing I just want to your gronk right? Yeah. Obviously the grandfather was and I don't know if he
2:16
stays with what you're telling me that if my cuz Jim your grandpa played 40 for the tiger. Yes. Wow, I heard that.
2:26
I heard that there was a room I think you were telling me Tommy that which has nothing to do with what I was saying
2:32
about the rice and a fully roll bit slightly talking about the generations.
2:40
If If my grandpa applied in 40 that would have given me an instant in not be.
2:54
Apart from that I have no athletic ability. heard of this role? The father said Yeah.
3:00
It's a classic one. I want to I want to find out from Steph though, because when I, when I was in Greece two years ago when I was living the good life, but you know, baby free. We had on honeymoon on our honeymoon. I was surprised because when I asked the person at the souvlaki joint I said, Can I have a just a regular one? Just the last one. We don't do lamb. And I was like, hang on, hang on. No, you do lamb because that's all I've had as a kid growing up he lands of like he's in my right school. Derek? Absolutely bad. Over there. They said no, no, we do lamb like once or twice a year and Easter. And then maybe maybe Christmas but I want to find out from staff because he's an OJ he knows he knows what's up. I feel like that's a classic. Australian going to grace you've got to come back with that storey it's the standard one is for you. I don't know. So much ethnic diversity on the
3:54
most but I mean I'm bit picky like that I'd pick up on
3:59
me
4:00
Me lamb verse chicken roast pork So what was the go to over there? What did you have? chicken or pork? or beef? Maybe it was it
4:10
was anything but lamb and I was paste. We've got screwed Derek here as well. Hey, this might be chance. Yeah. When I'm listening to you guys in my car Yes, I'm always just yelling at you guys
4:24
like facts when you get facts wrong pronunciations and so just quickly the father son rule yes doesn't get you a guns doesn't if you shoot at 40 you should at 40 professional teams gonna play. it's to do with the draught. It allows you to choose to play in the team, that your father some kind of preference thing where instead of being pulled to another state, you get to play for Richmond if your daddy and let's go they'll have to change it to the Father. Child rule definitely will change. Are you sure about that? Now
5:04
That may be also a requirement they have to apply to certain number of games.
5:12
Games it doesn't matter like you have to have played 50 or hundred.
5:16
Is it? Is it some was there a point where you potentially could have played footy paint? Did you ever made? Yeah. Yeah, I played footy growing up a lot. Yeah. Until I was sort of mid 20s. When you say play it You mean at a high level? Yeah.
5:33
Because he's
5:35
a tall guy. You play basketball right? And it makes sense for them to play basketball. From an athlete like he is a guy who's got he's dialled in. And so my squealing everything except receiving the paycheck like the 40. Yeah, Mike. Yeah. Mike, Mike. My question is, why do you like the reason that you weren't healthy is probably there's probably some reason behind it. Not that maybe it was that you were a sacred athlete. When I played for you, I didn't need that.
6:00
Very well at all, and socially,
6:05
didn't get to the gym.
6:07
on yesterday's show, Josh said that he or maybe it was before I don't even know if it made it onto the show, but he was basically saying that you'd told him something. That was I'm going to tell you some information. And Josh couldn't wait. He wanted the secret. He wanted to find it out.
6:24
And I was like, You can't do that. And then Bry chimed in.
6:29
And then
6:31
I can just really just all blow up what was it because I is it worth bringing Because I said so. The shock. I mean, it's probably it's a good little small world storey. I it turns out my parents know, Ryan, John's mom, and there is a lodge and we Yeah, at a funeral she came up to me and was like, oh, chillin Bruce's daughter, you know, my son ran.
6:59
I actually got
7:00
Three day deal. I was working on snippets yesterday. And I said, Can you put a snippet together over me telling that joke? Which Joe? Or I was trying to remember what the joke was, I was like, there was a moment where I said something you guys laugh I want that as a bit. And so anyway, he picked a bit but it wasn't the was the funny it was funny, but it wasn't the right one. He got the sheets with me after the hair episode because he was like, I was editing the video and I just cut you out whenever you weren't laughing I
7:29
was a couple of moments where you just sort of flicked your hair instead of like
7:34
laughing Normally I'm thinking like, how can I
7:40
but but anyway, I did notice that at the bit that the stinging bit of the whole thing was the bit that three day deal peaked, had your laugh at the end, but it was like a
7:52
and it was like a close up of a fake laugh and I was
7:57
it sounded very forces. It was interesting.
8:00
Help.
8:01
Don't disregard them as you practice that before.
8:06
Nothing kills a mood like someone calling out a fake laugh. Yeah, because I think I think this is almost a generosity in the fake laugh. It's just like you gotta entertain them especially for a narcissist like you.
8:19
J i feel like i don't i don't know if i cloth that much. Well, so hang on what let's define the fake laugh you like I think you can just be in the moment. It's like when we listen to radios like they're not that it's not that funny guys. You're all laughing in this room. But there is a bit of a feeling of energy. We're background in radio, shipping.
8:45
Applied local food in it. We actually haven't had an apple podcaster a few since the shepherd at one. So
8:51
this is the last Fridays with a three day deal.
8:56
Deal. How do you feel?
8:58
How do you feel
9:00
who's really hungry? Oh yeah, we should start eating I've already had I believe it's a mushroom. Yeah, we're gonna try this awesome form of like croquettes sort of thing I don't know if I'm the octopus. Yeah, and there's also this
9:14
step has zucchini Yeah, it looks like if it had me at potato dip two of my favourite things together
9:23
It's his first time ever eating octopus. Really? Good isn't like bowl when I mean the octopus in Bowling, that's for sure. Is it?
9:33
Come on saves can we witness history?
9:36
All right, I want to say Mr. 97. And give us a love his face.
9:40
He's not gonna like it and guarantee nervous. Smells like chicken smells like grilled chicken. Perfect. Sounds like my child. He thinks everything's chicken. How is it? Oh.
9:51
Oh, you almost like chicken?
9:54
Chicken. It's actually writing Chicken. Chicken with what do you know? What do you think? What's the tech
10:00
I would just be like I'm
10:03
typically
10:06
like
10:08
I don't know if I've had such a big bit before is what I'm eating as well. Give me a sec I mean it is a tentacle just to just to come
10:17
to see creature it's very barbecue like it tastes like it's on some form of grill Yeah.
10:24
BBQ
10:26
octopus is pretty good
10:29
I mean we always do this Yes Nice in for review on something pretty good. Yeah, no bad.
10:37
It just gives it one of those three. Back to because we've been all over the shop already think we're all a bit excited because the food's here. So that glitter bomb we were trying to work it out. Right? Who the center's unbelievable. I was going to send you a second one if you didn't.
10:55
We got the 40 tickets and we let off the bomb this morning. And it was
11:00
Dealing on the garage. Turns out inside wasn't just Elisa it was little dicks Yeah.
11:10
Yeah. And
11:13
it was quite cute actually.
11:21
Thanks waiting everywhere. And then at the bottom, so this big spring was there. And then at the bottom there was like a little note handwritten. So deal got it off. Yeah. And we opened it up. What did it say? Do we should have brought it? Oh yeah we should this video about it yeah there's a video. So basically it said I'm still trying to figure out the translation of gronk to Spanish from MH Santiago. Santiago sent the waggon wheel
11:53
that's right
11:56
inside waggon wheels
12:00
South America what's, what's the province area and
12:08
they're unbelievable. They like you would have had one before Derek.
12:15
Your
12:17
country in South America? No, no, no, just where these biscuits are from. They're like, it's funny. I never heard of them. I'd never heard of them. And then I saw somebody posting about them as soon as it was like, Google's listening, and then was pushing me information about them, but they like these little waggon will style biscuits and Santiago, what a legend and then he pulled a gronk move, make the definition or the the translation is still gronk into Spanish.
12:46
Words that just translate to the same word isn't there? gronk being one of them. Yeah, exactly. It's like a French word. Yeah. It's like belly OSH.
12:54
I mean, is that what Mr. Simmons got
12:57
to the belly.
13:00
It needs to be longer could you define belly arms for the folks at home? I mean,
13:05
it's essentially like and I also call it um riots when your head goes from dark to lie. I had it for a long time, but that was just because I couldn't be bothered getting my blog touched up. And now I'm back to having brown hair for that very reason. Can you define or explain the definition of bangs? bangs is the American word for French not just what I have a lot has changed in the three weeks.
13:28
French I have a new PSE and my
13:34
same colour but huge couple of weeks from AY what's the what's the term bangs? What does that mean? I get a fringe of like just the American Americans. Yeah, fair enough. I mean, you've already been asked by Derek what a kitchen I like
13:51
to be
13:52
well, I think the way things could have Derek things you get sent everything. Yeah. And then you just review it.
14:00
You've got three kitchen eyes.
14:03
So three ideal final fat Friday's It is a good opportunity to reminisce favourite food on the entire time you've been in Australia. Not you're
14:17
afraid. Oh, that's tough. It's not favourite food. I might say the answers or it
14:24
could be in the restaurant. Yeah, I mean this is food This food is pretty good this
14:30
bathtub The room was
14:33
eating a Toblerone in the bath is pretty nice. I'll give you never been more stressed than I was listening to that episode on phone. I took a walk to go outside. And I was like, just make sure you're mentally ready. Everyone was walking. Yeah, I'm surprised you guys didn't bump into each other.
14:53
Probably the raising could be that. No So three to do what was what was your favourite favourite food
15:00
Yeah,
15:01
that's tough. But
15:05
I'd have to say the beef burger from AU 79 That was amazing. sighs we went they are nominal sort of afternoon and we were ravenous. And I think it's a great way
15:19
to eat a one handed because my thumb was
15:23
the day after. Yeah, and it just it just delivered but also the day you got here, 3d there we
15:31
think about Melvin and we're here Selena give them another fun. The food
15:38
the food like it's not hard like I think the food in Melbourne you're not going to survive.
15:47
So I'll do top three. So there's a 79 burger, Rita's pizza
15:52
and last one shortstop donut shop. He spends a lot of time in that place and I got to know you three choices. Yeah.
16:01
I had food at IU 79 was for an event and it was all they did a vegan menu and they were like say vegan food can be fun. I'm like it's
16:10
really not and vegans can drink wine Really?
16:15
Potentially actually get vegan you can actually get vegan wine.
16:20
Some bottles of wine I've seen especially we got one from Audi that said may contain fish products. Yeah, yeah. I feel like
16:30
today with the preservative use a part of the swim bladder of the
16:38
seems like I was the oldest other one I can just say.
16:47
The liquid to clarify, clarify to take it. Let me clarify this. To take this
16:55
from what deals eight and what is he missed in in Melbourne. If he had to do
17:00
run of the more sort of Derek style take away well i i find it hard to believe where you guys are located with with head offices is do you like being called head office?
17:16
Is you right at the front door of the Vietnamese community and the I can't believe you're not just smashing down a foe every day No I went
17:28
I went I went to one of the places no nothing no no I
17:37
pretty controversial
17:40
everything Do you like the Briscoe like the the one where it's the beef brisket there's a lot of hot water
17:48
I get very hot on the jumper off hot
17:54
that's why I don't like watermelon because what I yeah
18:02
One of the only foods I can eat faster than Josh is fo like I've beaten
18:08
from Facebook. It's because that there is so much like it. I'm not a soup guy.
18:16
But he isn't. How do you pronounce it? fo?
18:19
Yeah, just
18:26
going to be a bit spicy. Yeah, just say Barcelona, Barcelona.
18:31
So we're going to the footy on Sunday. It's happening I'm gonna have to come drunk to deal with.
18:38
It's been quite a saga.
18:41
I mean, yeah, the tickets were it's actually very hot. Like, I don't know. Have you guys tried to get tickets from the footy? I'm sipping serious. Yeah, most weekends.
18:54
I want to paint I'm not talking to him. Okay, no, but I mean, Pete's got a lovely weekend.
19:00
It awakened away weekend away yeah
19:04
no but so you you're going to take it tech every single wait not being serious ticket tech every week too bulky tickets
19:12
do you say this is what it's all coming out outsourcing is a good now Sam say say I just walking with my barcode my
19:22
guides are very expensive
19:25
they're not far off each other as a yearly to a yearly I mean that's the thing because for me it was like I had no Mikey at all and it wasn't accepting my credit card and going to 711 and
19:38
I'm a producer anything how if the game starts at three fifth day? What time do we actually get into like the movies do you get there? 10 minutes before or what? Japan?
19:50
What do you guys we spend? Yeah, but he's forgotten that he's got a microphone in his hand we've just worked across between how much is the MCC membership paid the 555 68 yearly market
20:00
1500 bucks so why it's expensive?
20:03
says I know you would have done the math on this. So how often do I need to travel for that to be worth it? I think you have to
20:09
actually I think it's five days I think you
20:12
guys awake every year what at that point? Because the thing is that I've mentioned leaving my house I've got about six my kids and they're all in minus
20:22
one so it's like because you can you can ride around with about like minus 15 pounds.
20:27
I mean, I gave one to deal and then I asked for it back so I can get home when I scanned on and it minus $18 know it cuts out of like you can get like minus five or six. Man I don't even know you can get
20:44
rid
20:46
of it on automatic. Yeah.
20:49
I don't like to think about money.
20:52
I also think maybe was the V line like if you're getting a V line or something. Yeah, there's been a lot of V line travel because like going up to like Grampians.
21:00
stuff. Yeah, really depleted it. So
21:04
it's actually
21:06
yeah.
21:07
Yeah, it's not that posh Dude, I find it
21:14
the wrong way I used to catch it back. I used to work in shipping. You know that. Yeah, I used to get you back from that. And my main court the V line from Sydney back, he broke down halfway quarter back to Melbourne. And he's like, there was heroin addicts on a drug run. I mean, he's a bit hyperbolic. He's built a wall of the street in Sydney to Melbourne on the train. Yeah. Was Sydney Melbourne and
21:37
real
21:41
I really enjoy. I think there's something like train travel can be quite nice. Like I like Has anyone done a long to like a multiple day. Everything I've heard of them. stinks. The gun. The middle of Australia. I've not been on it but I watched slow TV
21:59
or the 12am
22:00
On the gun so I feel like I've been on it the people that I used to train when
22:04
they they had the kind of money and time spare time to do things like this and one of them because a lot of money doesn't. Oh yeah, yeah. So for out and I look at the average age of the passengers I think he's about 65 Yeah, yeah. And my client was over 65 and she said it was horrible rapidly and comfortable bed I mean, we're not I mean, we're gonna fucking train. What do you expect? Yeah, but hotel soon. I don't think they better it's not the dodgy alien limited or whatever it's called the that was a villainous Orient Express. Anyway, there's a bunch of ones in Europe. I would like to I think mentioned, full bunk beds. And gronk squad going through the middle of Australia. I'd love to do that. What about like a cruise. So I like the what I like about cruises, the sound of a cruise. Never been on a cruise.
23:00
Yeah, on the spirit of jazzy but that's about it. Yeah. The the food experience sounds good. But days like sort of like everything's buffet. Oh, yeah. Which buffet sort of bug and I get that and if I want to be healthy I think cruises Bogan. So we've already gone down the boat. Well, my parents were on a cruise now but they're not around like some little fancy by Jim Crow.
23:27
But anyway, I wasn't doing
23:32
like six of their friends. Is anyone done? Have you done a cruise Derek?
23:39
Just did Antarctica. So you leave from I think you can leave from South America and you go right down and you can step foot on the
23:50
North Pole.
23:58
Yeah, I mean, I didn't go You fucking idiots.
24:00
know if I went in
24:02
whatever whatever, you go to a cold pot where there's penguins apparently
24:09
are expensive mentors because I recommend like I know I'm using the word posh a lot today, but that feels like a posh cruise It feels like one that you were North Face jacket might have some binoculars get some cool photos of you exploring posh
24:25
posh fashion labels these bargains start to wear them yeah Berlin Tiago posh
24:32
Lindsay
24:34
Lindsay
24:36
UC every man these don't turn away Berlin car go now.
24:41
The brands
24:42
What is it? What is it like? What did they What did they do? They've just got some shining and accessories. Has the chunky sneakers.
24:51
So this is the shoes like I saw some Gucci shoes or something like one of those like factory outlets in the US Why?
25:00
They primed to make shoes like the thing is that you think about like a department how much time are they putting in shoes versus just going and getting some assets or some a lot of time
25:15
they wouldn't do anything unless there's a lot of thought into it Yeah, yeah my thought is though that if you if you are a shoe like I want to get my shoes from a shoe company it's like Gary Vee he's been getting few mention.
25:30
case which has been around for taste we if you remember case with Swift, no k switch.
25:39
So the reason he did it was because he wouldn't do with Nike because Nike is like it probably won't work. And so you will see the results better with a brand that isn't at its peak in in culture. And so, you know, I'm hearing Thank you stuff, or Sam, I just need to ask you something quickly. Can you pass it? Yeah, I went to make an awesome
26:00
And Santa rainy. And I embarrass myself because I said, they said what's it like you want and I said, you know the stand when the land and they said we don't do lamb? I said what do you mean it's normal? No one in Greece it's lamb so lucky. So what are we doing here in Melbourne? It's It's weird because when the Greeks came to Melbourne land was Lamson chain because in Greece lands very expensive because of Greece very mountainous so lamb we need land once a year he started Let's see it. So we saw lamb was so cheap so we went that service every week Let's eat landmark flat out
26:33
doing lamb souvlaki because it was reasonably priced whereas in Greece it's all chicken or pork. So the when you say I want a lamb so lucky. They know that you're from Melbourne.
26:44
You're in making all sad Santa right? Definitely from the poem. Did you like it? I try the chicken one my love it so many of I have learned more in the last minute.
27:00
tradition for you growing up here in Melbourne to be having Sunday spit lamb spear we have barbecues every week where you know, you'd have low on the spirit or just big festive get togethers at cousin's house and stuff, lots, you know, going to relatives and just eating like this was a great key because
27:22
somebody said the best, you know, spinal cord.
27:27
So when's the next one? Can we
27:33
get you in
27:35
our offices in Abbotsford and there's migration of maize community many years ago. Oakley in Melbourne is the Greek centre. Yeah, it's I mean, you feel like you're in a little, little China. Obviously, Chinatown was literally at Athens in Athens and the taxi driver, guys do you know
28:00
Like I was just watching it on the on the news or whatever I was like, Really? I wish I knew more about
28:13
Do you know why
28:17
they just complicated with the churches so even in Richmond there's a lot of Greeks and victorious rate in Abbotsford lock if you look at the sun look when the sun sets we got the bait the maze running if you look at the right set of Tommy see all the great gronk behind really fit the maze right? Yeah, like that whole sheet was great. Yeah. And then obviously database came in and they sold to live in amazing they took over that area and I would also know what the Greeks what information they have that we didn't and they bought up all of Albert Park, the most expensive suburb. I used to live there have a business there and it was every second house is a lovely great family. What do they know they when it comes to property the they smart they just go with the Italians go
28:59
company
29:00
Italians where they live properly and stuff like that. They got a Colton. They got the good areas I know where to go. Yeah, it's probably the Italians. They're smarter than us when it comes to Well, I mean have a pack used to be like a notch. It was low and so it was classed as a certain area like a swamp swamp land. But it is on a floodplain I think. But it was cheap back then. And now they own half the half hour pockets. so expensive stuff. Quick question in regards to authentic great food. Is it possible if you go to just a random Greek restaurant in Melbourne? Is there any certain signs or any restaurants that aren't authentic versus authentic? Look, every place has something well, my suggestion is if there's a great waiter or someone great just say bring me something bring whatever you think if you said that to a great yeah, great, very proud people that won't disappoint you they'll just bring out the best of the best they'll have to offer that won't go. You know what I mean? Like if you just learning from the menu, they may
30:00
You might get a hit or miss at whatever restaurant you go to. But if you turn around to the waiter, you say bring me whatever you think. And just give him the menu. Greg's a proud though, they'll bring up what they do well, well the one bit of anxiety around it is I went to one place where the you know, traditional didn't have like the prices or anything like that on the on the thing and so there is the little bit of a white year enjoying the third and every moment. This is great, so tasty, but there really is the little voice in the back of the head bang. I can afford this.
30:32
If you gotta make an us yeah, you might get a little bit of a surprise. Yeah, but generally speaking, they're pretty good and even in making us luck. You know where to go when you see someone's got like a sparkle out with the dumper, young.
30:46
Tommy
30:53
raise the ball, and you see like a couple of volunteers in the kitchen. Yeah, they're not going to charge you a nominal
31:00
Surprising Yeah, I'm sharing the love to some other local businesses Melbourne what's your favourites? lamps with Lucky lamps lucky in Melbourne you know what I really like?
31:13
I'll give a couple of plugs to a couple places I like to get coffee down at like on Delhi on Bridge Road. Okay, yeah, right he's got a great mother della little sandwich that I smell go to little snack. I got a butcher's Dinah on
31:29
in the city. I've heard of that. 24 middle Donna, it's fantastic.
31:36
midnight snacks because we're in the hospitality industry where we get hungry quite late. So I'm not in hospital and I feel you
31:46
know, three o'clock in the morning.
31:50
I get sorry, the pork skewers. That's what I get.
31:55
Solid. What do you think of all the delivery services Uber rates stuff
32:00
Like that from someone who's in the industry,
32:03
we want people to come out and you know, eat together and you know, share conversation and that's why we do this job. We don't want to cook and people eat at home internet sort of. It takes half our job away from us even though it's convenient and we understand it's the future. Yeah. I don't really lock a person. Yeah. Alex to see people having a laugh having a few drinks together. Yeah, definitely. It's better than just sitting at home in front of Netflix just eating like a I think it's a bit too American for me.
32:32
I'm just
32:33
giving you a lot of icons.
32:36
I understand that I completely get I think that's something you know, what's your favourite time of the week? If you were to pick a moment here, it's a liner when?
32:47
control Yeah.
32:50
When is it when is it pumping here at the restaurant? When do you think it's your favourite vibe? Look, for us. It's a small intimate restaurant so it gets busy quite quickly. Whether it's
33:00
Monday or Tuesday, there's people in the restaurant.
33:03
But Friday, Saturday, obviously it's very, very busy. But even like a Lazy Sunday, people come in, we didn't have set hours. So you can come from 12 all the way through dinner service. So you can come at four and have an early dinner or late lunch. So I think Sunday's is probably my favourite. The vibes pretty good. Yeah. The finally tipping and stuff in Australia. Obviously, it's not as common in restaurants like this. what's what's your view on because I've noticed more and more you go to places and you're going through and you there's the tipping thing and like I'll put 10 bucks or whatever, from someone who's got a restaurant. What's your view on a bit old school in that sense? Oh, I remember when you sign the tip. It was a bit more discreet way you just give the person the bad sign. The name now it's all pain. So
34:00
gone so now I get awkward because I don't want to ask people would you like to leave a tip I just keep that function personally because it's weird for me
34:08
in this industry for my left that with your signature at the end, but look, if you enjoy the service, leave something for the hospitality staff you know, you know, it's it's a tough job so if you want it If you're happy to do it, leave something but you don't have to there's no rules that you get paid quite well. Generally speaking, if you do the right thing, most people get paid quite well in Australia without a world right and what have you. But look, if you want to live to even to $3 it all adds up for the stuff at the end. The change of government
34:42
what happened with is taking
34:46
the penalty rights, hospitality star for for Look, it's it's it's it's quite high.
34:53
It's tough because it's a very competitive market. So
34:58
in hospitality, we're giving
35:00
opportunity to people that are unskilled at the at the end of the dialogue, some people come in with zero language and they in the kitchen and they, you know, peeling potatoes or they're washing plates. And that's their entry to, to the, to the to the workforce basically. So
35:17
they get paid quite well considered considering other countries. If you look at other countries, they get paid really, really well. But look,
35:26
I think Australia's got a good system where it's a, it's a fair system. And by paying people the average person more than they can afford to go out. So it all helps you pay everyone less, and people try to squeeze people on the wages, and then they're not going to have enough money to go out was I think,
35:44
a better solution is to just maybe minus a bit of the tax for the for the hospitality staff. And I think that's a better solution than you know, either dropping the right or lifting there. Right, exactly. The big question.
36:07
Thanks so much the hospitality night.
36:10
Thank you. That was the best thing.
36:13
A couple of takeaways there I thought yeah. TJ asking asking the big questions
36:19
Yeah, Derek let's let's finish up with a swan straight storey. If you got any any Swan straight storeys dear Lord, I'm not telling you the one I told you. What
36:37
do you have any other storeys? us one straight, Richard Well, hi dB. DBS. Yes, we immigrated here that was just my brother and I my mom and dad was
36:48
from
36:51
Belgium.
36:53
Thanks for the accent.
36:55
No
36:57
relative we had in Australia was Auntie Allison
37:00
And apparently Auntie Allison never married. And she was all she seemed odd with hindsight was probably about 60 I mean there is it just always seem really old but they're still around and she just crew went on cruises and just travelled the world her whole life. And it turns out she had major shares in Demi's. So she would have been almost building down there. Has she going now? My mom Yeah, she's long gone. Okay. My mom fell out with her in the late say well as
37:30
an adult, you know, like scraping a big big barrel and just going Hang on a minute. Mom
37:42
got to be
37:44
early relative in Australia I mean, Derek, you know, a very good with Melbourne culture, rich MIT like all the different different areas. What do you like for people who don't know Swan straight? How would you How would you Richmond is where I came every with this this trip here was wearing
38:00
I came every weekend from the outer suburbs I grew up in rural Park, all around there and we would come into GIFs so there was the corner hotel. There was the central club hotel it was Richmond club hotel
38:15
is a lot different now that's for sure. But it's pretty good, pretty good nice.
38:20
T shirt that I used to use to screen print t shirt. I found in my old loft a T shirt that I printed for the corner hotel and that's on the internet and the corner hotel contact me that we have that will do a reissue that's done by one of the famous turned out to be famous graph artist.
38:38
Wow.
38:41
Top Secret
38:47
build suspense builds this corner central club, this screen printing very quickly. How hard is it if I wanted to do just like a few one off friends? Is it easy for me to do like in the garage at our office?
39:00
Needless to say I was a hair in the garage. There's a lot of things we wanted to get we want to present
39:12
themselves
39:16
baby want to
39:18
know just quickly what is the process because TJ was telling me it was the now we can't do it because you need the cutter to be able to cut out the thing. You look you can do it but you treat it as a craft hobby that you shouldn't do. Yeah.
39:34
I don't I don't want to charge her. I'm just saying like you like gronk squad like one off. Forget it.
39:40
We know Deion.
39:43
He's a legend.
39:50
missionary seven has already said that he's going to get a 10 year.
39:55
Morning. What do we do with my dad because I want one so bad.
40:00
He doesn't want me to get one. So I said, Hey, shaves his moustache off. I want to get one. He's had his moustache for about 45 years.
40:11
To me
40:13
that I can understand why they
40:16
got that same. You said a moustache. Since I've known it would be you look, you wouldn't recognise it. I bracelets has a real Tom Selleck. Bob. He's a handsome man who's Tom Selleck.
40:27
Josh, I don't know anyone. The guy who wants to do screen printing at home also says who's Tom said if you want to do it as a hobby, just do it. Yeah, but that's how I see it as a way of saving money. Okay, so it's gonna be more expensive and more. I think you want to free up time you're going to
40:44
be bored of it. I would definitely be one of those things. It's the equivalent of I want to do some good work at home. So I want to buy all the tools and then it actually takes a lot of effort and if you unless you're into it, you will never use the term feels like a very Josh Janssen move.
41:00
Kid I had like wooden nail like I was actually into all that sort of stuff there was a period of time. Yeah like I was out of time but that does it is things different like I remember hammering more shit when I was young when I'm an adult but I'm not I'm not into that. That's not working that's just hammer i mean i think i think I'm more into that stuff now than you are so I reckon you
41:22
know I bet you would unpack everything for the screen printing and then you blog or you think that you'd be more into screen printing
41:30
Watch yourself
41:32
and then you'd be like, a bit bored I'm gonna go upstairs. Yeah.
41:38
I haven't got the bike trainer for that very like I've been quite good with that. Yeah, that's the officer. That'd be good. I bought you could have in the office do a sweat session because
41:48
there's a specific anyone might go into it now. organised August getting very close to the end Russ keys has been killing it has been taking off all these things, wondering anyone else organised August
42:00
Derek going really well for me. What have you been doing? Being very organised
42:09
dishwasher Did you really just buying my way into this?
42:14
Last night? I don't even buy a dishwasher. How do you and I don't know.
42:22

42:50
So, yes, three day deals. Yeah, absolutely.
42:55

I believe can you believe I don't know if you watch the video of him explaining when he was on the plane going to Sydney, he ate so much food that what he was
43:12
the person next to me asked if I was okay, because I was just breathing deeply and I must have been really flushed. Was it at that point? You thought I've gone too far? Yeah, I can't go too far. Yeah.
43:22
Breathing when someone feels
43:27
really
43:30
leaning.
43:32
Yeah, you're just focusing on not throwing up. Yeah, no, I get it. And yes, I was quite critical of tuna rice. You will? Yeah, yeah.
43:42
But it wasn't on the rise.
43:46
But I'm feeling I'm feeling better about it. Now. I actually took all of the tuna fish like you're not gonna eat it. But I've been reflecting on it and it's worth giving it a go.
43:56
On the chin arise. Yeah, you just have to not care so much about flavour.
44:00
But then the
44:08
last one
44:15
yes.
44:17

Anyway, all right. Well, we got the footy on Sunday. So
45:26

45:30
I think is it going to be a close game? Do we know that? Yeah. Is it a knockout for the notes but it will set up the finals next week. Okay, the Final Four is I need Collingwood to lose tonight because then if Richmond happened to lose on Sunday will still finish top four. But if we win on Sunday, we could finish top of the ladder you are putting giggling
45:58
giggling at me
46:00

46:19
school
46:21
