Winning Big

Tommy: The Daily Talk Show.

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 468.

Tommy: Happy Fat Fridays.

Josh: For a public holiday as well, uh, I'm glad that we get to take the day off just to get ready for the footy because I love footy.

Tommy: Yeah, who are you going for tomorrow?

Josh: I'm going for the Tigers. Yeah, I think, uh, Gem would be very upset. Yeah, but I see also the shade that, uh, Michelle gave Zara for not following— for following GWS.

Tommy: Yeah, for not following Richmond, which I thought GWS is a liquor store. That's, that's, um, what is it? Fuck, I didn't go— I don't go to the stores.

Josh: Is it not a liquor store?

Tommy: Anyway, the orange one, the, uh, BWS. Beer, wine, spirit. Oh yeah, BWS. I frequented that many times in my life, but not recently.

Josh: Beer, wine, spirit. Spirits, vodka. Is that a spirit?

Tommy: Yeah. So, uh, I, I don't— my wife is going for Greater Western Sydney because she's from Western Sydney, so she grew up out in the west, and so I can't really argue with that. But I am going for Richmond. I really want to see them get a flag, another flag.

Josh: See, GWS, because the last time you said it was the Gold Coast Suns, I think. Oh, you said they were in the Gold Coast, so I assume they're in Queensland. So that was for a second there when I was processing, I thought, oh, Amy lived in Queensland. Anyway, uh, let's get off the footy banter.

Tommy: Let's keep that for tomorrow. Oh, it's Fat Friday, it's an early one. So, um, we've got a— we could just— we just— look, we just did a Maccas run, a little, little bit of a Maccas run this morning. And, uh, that's always what you do. I mean, Maccas runs for me, uh, whenever we're going on a shoot.

Josh: That's how we do 3 shoots a week.

Tommy: Actually, we do 7 of these shoots a week, so we're gonna have Maccas every morning. Um, so I've got that. But also, Amy, we've got almost the dregs Dregs. We've got the dregs, the last little bits of what she cooked for her work. So she does a lot of baking for the office and I'm always a bit annoyed because I'm like, it's not baking for us. But she has baked a little bit of extra bits for us, but it's only because she had too much.

Josh: Is she going to turn up one day and say, hey guys, I've got 6 days' time in lieu based on the amount of baking she's doing outside hours?

Tommy: Bloody well should, mate. Should be paying our power bill. Either way, she cooks lovely cheesecakes. Never cooked me one, but cooks her work people one.

Josh: Does work pay for the ingredients? So she's putting—

Tommy: oh, that's good. I wouldn't have that, mate. Yeah, seriously. Anyway, we have like a tiny little cheesecake that, um, oh, it looks really good.

Josh: It looks like a McMuffin, to be honest.

Tommy: It looks like a Portuguese tart. Yeah, have a little sniff of it, big boy.

Josh: It does smell— it smells really good. To be honest, I'm more excited because, um, this is not sponsored, but McDonald's are doing their Monopoly, and growing up, that was huge for me.

Tommy: Okay, um, I'm gonna rip mine off The—

Josh: okay, can— what's on the bag? I saw all these logos. You can win Uber Eats.

Tommy: Oh yeah, yeah. So there's like Groupon, Suzuki, Amazon Echo, Europcar, uh, Ubisoft, Video Easy Express. What is that?

Josh: That's the vending machine.

Tommy: Oh yeah, but then you have to have a DVD player. Shopback, which the Shameless Girls were talking about.

Josh: Shopback. Is it good or bad?

Tommy: Because I signed up. It's, um, no, I think they were saying it was good.

Josh: It's great because you, um, yeah, like 2% cashback. Yeah, but it sends a bad message psychologically because it's like, it's when ING in the early days, every time you did PayPass, it was like 1 or 2% back. And so it was like, yeah, yeah, there is a sense in your mind that every time I'm buying a coffee, I'm making money. It's like an investment.

Tommy: All right, I'm going to quickly rip this, uh, Monopoly sticker off. Here we go. Uh, anything? Instant win!

Josh: Instant win!

Tommy: $20 off car rental. That's— mate, don't tell me that's an instant win.

Josh: How do I know what mine is?

Tommy: Because it says instant win retail voucher.

Mason: Yeah, give me a look.

Josh: No, fuck off.

Tommy: No, it just says right there $20 off car rental. So I would say it says it right there, retail dollar sign voucher.

Mason: Did you get a— I got a $1,000 online shop voucher.

Tommy: Instant win, it said.

Josh: Nah.

Tommy: Oh mate, this is the thing. Back in the day, I don't understand.

Josh: This is what pisses me off. It's like secondhand.

Mason: I'm pissed.

Josh: Second chance draw.

Tommy: That's cold. I'm pissed.

Josh: But it's because we waited.

Tommy: Yeah, true.

Josh: But so what have I won?

Tommy: Nothing. No, I have.

Josh: No, it's an instant win and it says a retail voucher and has a dollar sign. Okay, so I think I've got to go to a website. Look, it says—

Tommy: here's the fucked up bit— download the app, scan, enter code, 1 in 5 wins instantly.

Josh: Wait, so who's getting macca's at this time?

Tommy: 1 in 5 wins instantly.

Josh: Yeah, so I can do it.

Tommy: No, I don't waste the time on the show doing it.

Josh: How about we do this? There was a, uh, we were thinking about what we were doing this time last year.

Tommy: Yeah, because, uh, you talked about it. So, um, Grand Final day lands on the Friday before the granny. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Grand Final day public holiday is given to the people of Melbourne, not outside. So Sydney, sorry. Brisbane, sorry. Or everywhere else in Australia, sorry. But in Victoria, we get it. We get the day off, which is— I mean, I don't really give a shit because I'm a business owner and it's hustle, hustle, hustle. Yeah, every day, 24/7. You know what I'm saying? So anyway, I'm open 25 hours a day.

Josh: So you— but we were wondering Yeah.

Tommy: What were we doing? Because we recorded a show on the Friday before the grand final last year, which I was still away.

Josh: Yeah. And I have a feeling that this must have been just before you came to the US because we did the episode with Seth, I think, on the 3rd of October.

Tommy: Did we?

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Oh, shit. That's next week. As in a year ago next week. Yeah, but it's soon. It's very soon. And so yeah, we were wanting to know what we did. A bit of a Flashback Friday. What were we doing on the 28th of September 2018?

Josh: And before you— are you just playing a random spot?

Mason: Yeah, I was 44 seconds in.

Josh: Okay, great. All right, so here we go.

Tommy: Mr. 97 is about to play a bit from our show while I have a nice bite of this bacon egg McMuffin.

Josh: I'll do that while also downloading the app. We've got a bit of a cough as well.

Tommy: 28th of September, 2018.

Mason: Episode 184.

Josh: Oh, geez. You're catching a flight in how long?

Tommy: I'll be at the airport at this time in 24 hours. So, 24 hours away.

Josh: Oh, really? So, it's Saturday morning that you're flying out.

Tommy: Yeah, Saturday morning I fly out. There's a— I'm in this thing where I want to try and brainstorm with you today of ways that I can access the Qantas lounge, because I don't have— I don't have status, so, but I really want to get into the lounge. Fuck status.

Josh: No, fuck status. I have, I've gone full circle on this. Um, Bree and I were in, uh, where were we, in Croatia, and it turns out that we were on a Star Alliance flight, but for some roundabout reason we couldn't get into the lounge. And, um, I spent 2 hours— we got there really early, and I spent that 2 hours trying to get in on the phone to Lufthansa and just like I was ropeable about like using Skype, speaking to supervisors. Had one person, one supervisor say, are you— It turns out that like I was, I asked someone at Lufthansa a few days before because it was one of those codeshare flights. And I said, will I have access to the lounge? And they said, yes. Yeah. And then I get to the lounge and they said, oh no, you don't get it. Don't get access. Sorry. Does anything change? You can fade that down. He's having the boringest fuck out of me. We're thinking Flashback Fridays. But I mean, what do you think about that content?

Tommy: I'm just glad we got through. Like, if we didn't make it through the 100 days while you were away, like, we wouldn't have— we wouldn't be here today.

Josh: It sounded good though, given we're in different rooms and stuff. Where were you?

Tommy: You must have just been in— you're in Greece?

Josh: I was in Greece, yeah, yeah.

Tommy: That sounds real good from one of the Greek islands.

Josh: Yeah, I think that was probably, um, Athens. I reckon I know exactly. Yeah, I feel like I know exactly where that was potentially.

Tommy: God.

Josh: Um, but yeah, it's funny. It's like Facebook memories when you go back. Like, we just all— like every human, we just go— we're on this cycle of just talking about the same shit and little things will fly into our world within our you know, our view. Like the lounge. How much have we mentioned the lounge in the past week and a half? Yeah, I mean, every show in Sydney.

Tommy: You know what, you know what actually needs to be done is just, we just have the best access so you don't end up talking about getting in. Yeah, there's things in life that are like, if you don't have them, or if they're like harder, harder to come by, it's like these become the interest points for us humans.

Josh: Sure.

Tommy: It's interesting, a little flashback I texted my mum this morning and I said to her, um, I mean, this was pretty early. This was like— surprised she wrote back. It was like 6 AM. And I set her a task too. I said, uh, can you send me a photo of the hair you kept from my first haircut? And so I'm a 31-year-old man. That was a long time ago, my first haircut. Was in 1990. I was 2 years old. Mum wrote back, she sent the photo. This is a bit weird. Hold your thoughts on the weirdness of doing this. I'll just read you what Mum wrote back. And, and Mr. 97, if you can just put up the photo right now of my hair. Um, first haircut, February 1990. You're almost 2, not even 2.

Josh: Wow.

Tommy: Also, I can give you the points, by the way. That's another conversation. Shit, I was just getting into Thing. Anyway, Bodhi, my son—

Josh: are you about to pull out hair?

Tommy: Bodhi, my son, had his first haircut, 2 and a half. We held out a bit longer than what my mum did.

Josh: I mean, he had a full mullet.

Tommy: We had like— I had a bowl cut for my first, so it was long.

Josh: It was— was it— did they actually use a bowl?

Tommy: No, no, no. Mum's friend Gabrielle, who's messaged us about the show, she messaged us about Mum's episode. Loved it. Um, she's a hairdresser and she would— she came over and cut my hair. So there's this great photo, it's almost— there's something so nice about capturing like the first moments. And it's this out in the backyard, I've got the bee ball, or you know, the sort of big cape around me, and my hair's a bit wet and it just looks old and shitty, the photo, because it's from the '90s. And it's great. And I've got this blonde hair, I had like bright blonde hair.

Josh: '89, wouldn't it?

Tommy: Or, uh, Oh, '89, '90. Mum writes into the albums. That's how she's been able to find that photo because she keeps, she keeps an album. Like, she has photos, but then she also keeps the hair. Another thing. Anyway, Bodie had his first haircut over the weekend.

Josh: I think you just got some on the ground.

Tommy: Oh, did I? Had his first haircut over the weekend, and I said to Amy, oh, should I keep it? She said no. Really? And I mean, I just think I should keep it because Mum kept mine.

Josh: And also DNA. I do wonder about things like, uh, DNA.

Tommy: So I'm gonna open this.

Josh: Could be handy one day.

Tommy: No, this is— I asked the woman from Adairs to give me some paper. Um, so that was after I had it in my pocket for a bunch.

Josh: Did she say— did they say it was quite— wait, you went to Adairs?

Tommy: So haircut, pocketed the hair, so it was on his lap.

Josh: It's like, did you tell the hairdresser you were doing it?

Tommy: No, no, no.

Josh: How do you know it wasn't just someone else's?

Tommy: No, it was on his lap, so it'd come— it had fallen onto his lap, so I made sure I got the right one anyway. This is it, I'm gonna open it up. This is it, this little furball.

Josh: Now you're literally getting hair everywhere.

Tommy: Am I?

Josh: Oh shit, shit. It looks great, doesn't it? It's a great color. You didn't show me the photo of your hair. Was your hair brown?

Tommy: Yeah, so maybe, um, let me just have a look side by side. My— yeah, my— no, what do you— what colour is that? Oh no, they're exactly the same color.

Josh: Really?

Tommy: What? Look at that.

Josh: Oh, that's so strange.

Tommy: They're very similar, right?

Josh: But you don't have blonde hair. No, no blonde hair. You must have.

Tommy: I had bright blonde hair.

Josh: That's crazy. I had—

Tommy: anyway, um, so is it weird though? Like, no, I don't see it being—

Josh: I mean, where are you going to keep it? It's in this minimalist culture that we're now in. Well, here's annoying. Here's the thing, I was, um, literally, you got hair. Yes, all over your body.

Tommy: Uh, so here's the thing. I was, um, I was gonna just like wrap it up like I have, put it into an envelope, put Bodhi's name on it, and put it in the box where Mum keeps my hair.

Josh: Oh, that's a good idea.

Tommy: You know, she's got one of my teeth.

Josh: Really? I actually—

Tommy: it's so weird.

Josh: Yeah, the whole teeth thing. When I found out like the tooth fairy and all that sort of stuff, um, that I can make some cash, uh, I was in like grade Uh, grade 1, I think. And I, um, we're watching a movie, and during the movie I pulled out 3 of my teeth.

Mason: 6 bucks.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. I think I was only getting a dollar each, so 3 bucks.

Tommy: And why did you say $2?

Mason: $2 a thing? Actually, mine varied. Mine varied between a dollar and $2 a tooth.

Josh: Depends how the Tooth Fairy was doing.

Mason: Well, it might have been how big the tooth was as well.

Josh: I really, I should have got a big molar or something.

Mason: Just your canine.

Josh: Yeah, no, but I, um, yeah, I actually, I just remember like going into the pain and just being like, but I think that the teacher was a bit worried. They gave me a little, um, like a kinder surprise holder. And so I had like, I was like, came out of school just rattling it. Mum, guess what this is? 3 bucks.

Tommy: Did you ever have, um, Did you ever know kids that put, like, their parents put some— not rope, but like, you see string or floss onto a door in movies?

Josh: You see that?

Tommy: No, no, I saw it happen. Greek family up the end.

Josh: If it feels like they have watched a movie.

Tommy: Oh, no doubt, no doubt. This lovely Greek family that I'd go over for lamb spits. Yeah, on a Sunday. Um, they now moved back to Athens, but they had this property It's actually next door to Jules Lund where he lives. Anyway, that's another thing. But I used to go in there and I remember seeing—

Josh: Have you played basketball with Michelle again?

Tommy: No, not yet. I remember seeing the dad putting this piece of floss in the girl. No, no, I didn't want to. And then foom.

Josh: That's a lot of floss as well. Yeah. How many metres of floss do you get typically?

Tommy: I reckon that you get up to probably 30 metres in a thing.

Josh: 30? Fuck, 30 meters, you reckon? No. Yeah, I reckon it's under— I think it's 12.

Tommy: 12 would be good. Uh, don't have a kid because you— Bodhi's just pulled out my brother's floss. Just comes into the room, he's just, he's just pulling out metres of floss.

Mason: 25 meters. Wow.

Josh: I mean, if it was radio, we would, we would test that, which I'm not opposed to.

Tommy: Hey, I've been getting a whole bunch of trolls on my, um, 7-Eleven video because it's about the same time, about a year ago, flashback episode where I released, um, with my co-host.

Josh: Oh, oh my, fishing is coming up for renewal. I need to stop paying for that.

Tommy: Oh yeah, stop paying for that.

Josh: Also, Blaz Roba, if you're listening, I've accidentally, um, haven't renewed his website, blazroba.com. So if you go to blazroba.com, you'll see 97, it's currently not, not, not active.

Tommy: Anyway, yeah, so a lot of people writing on the YouTube video where I outed them for being able to put a $2 coffee into a $1 cup, meaning you just should buy the $1 one. Anyway, I only did it a couple of times. I mean, people take it for face value. People think what I'm saying is an extra shot. I don't know. Either way, you're paying a dollar more, and so I don't know, how are you— how is it fitting in? That was the whole thing. How are you— how can you fit the substance of the button press of a $2 into the one.

Josh: You're getting a stronger coffee. I've only just—

Tommy: why don't you— hopefully there's a bit more shot of coffee and there's a bit more milk, so you're getting more. But why does it fit into a $1? Was the whole thing— anyway, don't get bogged down in that. People have been still commenting and just, this is bullshit, who's the guy— he's the guy that fucking complains about $1 coffee. I think we should actually—

Josh: oh, don't get me involved.

Tommy: No, no, I think he like I don't know if they fixed it or not. No, but we could just go around and just honestly put the cup there and just hold the camera and just go, since when have you been about honesty?

Josh: Yesterday you were pressing about 6 buttons to get your coffee.

Tommy: No, no, no, but I'm saying, yeah, it's true, but I'm happy to go back on— guys, it's not a thing anymore. I made a video that was, you know, showed the facts back in the day. But if I do it again, what happens? You know, I'm a local celebrity down at the Collingwood 7-Eleven where all the filming went down. She knows me there.

Josh: Riley, who used to work in our old office— yeah, did you hear what happened with her with 7-Eleven? No. She was doing extra shots and things like that, and she went up to the counter and said, 'Oh, just a $1 coffee,' just smiling. And he said, 'Oh, No, what about the, the, um, the chocolate and the thing, like the, um, I think she must have— it's a hot chocolate machine as well, is it?

Tommy: No, it's just hot water and she had some—

Josh: she did some extras and stuff.

Tommy: Well, if you just did an extra shot, it would do that.

Josh: But I mean chocolate, is it a hot— is there a hot chocolate?

Tommy: Uh, there is a hot chocolate thing.

Josh: Yeah, so you could do a hot chocolate, she could have made a mocha.

Tommy: No, you can't because it's actually in its own hot chocolate container and then you rip off this thing and there's chocolate under the bottom of it.

Josh: I wonder how she did that. I mean, this is going back a year, 8 months.

Tommy: But I was thinking I should, I should just do it. I should just do it.

Josh: Yeah, I don't think I need to be there, but you should.

Tommy: I mean, I'll happily get Ryan John again. The video will probably go viral again.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: And you'll be mistaken. Ryan John co-host, Ryan and Tommy.

Josh: Yeah, the one bit of PR we've ever gotten. And it's got a photo of Ryan John and Tommy and they're saying they're the hosts of the daily talk show.

Tommy: And it was in news.com.au, it was in the paper.

Josh: No, it's annoying.

Tommy: Anyway, should we try this?

Josh: Uh, yeah, I wanna try it.

Tommy: Cheesecake of my wife. Thank you, Amos.

Josh: Did you also see about the Veronicas the other day?

Tommy: I haven't.

Josh: They've, um, they got escorted off a Qantas plane by the federal police.

Tommy: Mate, there's no— that's, that's no good.

Josh: And they were saying that, um, uh, they're going to, um, potentially— I don't know where it's at now, but potentially legal action against Qantas for The embarrassment.

Tommy: The embarrassment. So, but why? You would— you only get taken off a flight if you've been an absolute gronk.

Josh: Well, apparently, because the other night I was watching the end of The Project, and they were like, oh, will you release the whole video? And they're like, oh yeah, maybe, uh, you know, legal proceedings, all that sort of thing. But then I tried to Google what was going on, and, um I think they were asked to move their bag on the, um, like carry-on so that they, like, because it couldn't close, uh, and they wouldn't do it. And they just said, oh, you can do it. But apparently like flight attendants can't move bags and stuff because of OH&S.

Tommy: Really?

Josh: And so anyway, they had an argument about it and they got the federal police and took them away.

Tommy: God, it is embarrassing.

Josh: It happened to Will Anderson too, remember? He was—

Tommy: oh yeah, and then he wrote a comedy special about it. Anyway, do you want to try something?

Josh: Yeah, we'll try. Here we go, standby. Here we go. Yeah, here we go. I'm getting the crusty end.

Tommy: Well, you can have both. Like, I think the outer side is, is nice.

Josh: That's what I mean.

Tommy: Oh, amos!

Josh: That is so good. So what is it? It's a cheesecake.

Tommy: Yeah, it's a cheesecake. Anyway, a bit early for cheesecake, to be honest.

Josh: No. Anyway, well, it's public holiday. I think it's a short one.

Tommy: Yeah, nice short one. It's been a big, big couple of weeks. Sydney episodes.

Josh: I've been reflecting, um, before we go on my phone usage. Obviously last week when I was in Daylesford, that was going to be sort of a screens downtime, screen-free, and I did 25 hours on Instagram.

Tommy: 28, wasn't it?

Josh: That was 25. It was probably 20. It was Yeah.

Tommy: Anyway, so it's almost a full working week.

Josh: And then, and then on Wednesday in the morning, walking along and I was going like around a corner and I got nearly taken out by a guy and I got annoyed at him at first. Like my instant reaction was like, why are you running? But he was in high-vis. He was a, he was a rubbish man. Running and doing all of the things, doing his job, doing his job. And I thought, you know what, so I was— part of me was like, how— my instant response was, how could he have done better? I was like, you know what, why, why run on the path like that? Why not run behind? I was like, okay, get hit by a car if he's on the road. I'm like, okay, do we need the— okay, we need the bins to be done, right? Maybe I shouldn't have been looking at my phone. And so I got to that conclusion, which I was pretty proud of myself, with a bit of self-reflection, like your mum going to, you know, the US and reflect. What was that called?

Tommy: Self-realization.

Josh: Self-realization. The self-realization where it's like, oh, I'm the problem, I need to look at my phone less while walking, which is an interesting one.

Tommy: I, I've honestly had a moment where you shouldn't really care what other people are thinking. Like, if you're transfixed on what other people are thinking about you, it's a hard life to live. But I've had moments where I'm walking I have it when I'm with my kid too and I'm on my phone. I think about what other people are looking at me and thinking.

Josh: I think it's a flawed— I think it's good to be— So you could use that and be like, ah, be on the phone if you want to, but you also got to think about your internal, like, what you think is okay.

Tommy: Which is why I end up just going, how do I think? It's like, so I'm thinking, what are other people looking at me walking along using my phone thinking? But it's probably the reflection is what am I thinking when I'm that person looking over at the person on the phone?

Josh: Which is what happens when I like, if I go 1 minute without looking at my phone and I see someone else on their phone, it's like, you scum.

Tommy: Yeah, you absolute scum.

Josh: I saw that meme the other day where it's like, do you see that? It's like relationships, relationships are just waiting for you to be off your phone. Relationships are when you're off your phone. Relationships are telling off your partner to get off their phone when in the short period of time you're not on your phone. Which is, which is very true. But so funny in saying all of that, the iPhone, the new iPhone, I've got an iPhone. What have I got? 7 Plus. Yeah. It's got the fingerprint thing, which I like. I was speaking to Rob Ward from Quad Lock, who they already have the cases for the new phone.

Tommy: They look so good on that phone. Yeah, like the multiple cameras on the back, it's sick.

Josh: And so, um, I was thinking about potentially finally upgrading. He was saying the Face ID is a lot better.

Tommy: Dude, the Face ID is sick now. You're such a big baby, Jules Landon. You— because I didn't press the right button— Jules Landon, you are such fucking babies. No, I don't like the Face ID, it's so annoying. No, but it's just because I haven't thought about the annoyance of the Face ID from the second day I got it. So you get it and you're like, oh, how do I use this? Swiping up, it's like, it's never been easier.

Josh: I just see people like doing this with their head.

Tommy: No, no, no, dude, you just like look down. I'm done, boom.

Josh: So the thing is, it's gotten better, but here's an interesting fact that he was pointing out. So the camera is better, he said. Yeah, it is better. The wide looks sick.

Tommy: How many cameras on?

Mason: 3.

Tommy: 3 cameras, a telephoto lens, so it's just like a high zoom.

Josh: I don't know who's using this, like the bigger zoom.

Tommy: I like it in close sometimes, a bit far, just like on the tram or something, trying to get telephoto, a wide, and then an extra wide.

Josh: Oh well, yeah, telephoto, like a sort of a mid-portrait sort of shot, and then a wide.

Tommy: Yeah, the wide is basically what you got on your phone.

Josh: Yeah, and so the wide, I don't know what the exact language is that how they describe those three. But the, um, the wide looks sick, being able to especially get a photo of, say, you and then get the background and stuff.

Tommy: Mr. 97's mate Andre, he's been using wide on Insta Stories and it looks like— it looks great. It looks so sick because it's like, what, what is that? What camera are you using? Like, what phone are you—

Josh: well, so the interesting thing about that is, because I said to Rob, I'm like, it'd be great for live streams on Instagram. Oh yeah, what he said is currently to use the wide, you have to use it in the normal phone app and then bring it into Insta Stories.

Tommy: Oh, you've got to film it? Oh wow.

Josh: So you can't use it in the—

Tommy: they will fix that up 100%. And so anyway, if Opal card in Sydney can go on to Apple Pay—

Mason: oh, is it on Apple Pay now?

Tommy: Opal card up in Sydney, so the— yeah, the equivalent of Myki. So Opal and now completely.

Josh: You don't need a physical card because I was listening to a bit of talkback last week and someone was complaining.

Tommy: I thought I would be all over that.

Josh: They're talking, but I was also listening to Melbourne talkback and they were saying with the Myki concession, you can't get concession on your Android.

Tommy: Yeah, because Gronks would fucking, like Mr.

Josh: 97, be all over that.

Tommy: I'm still 16.

Josh: He looks it. But the other thing too is, yeah, that's not on iPhone. I thought that it was a proprietary chip that could never be used in this case. I thought like it was because I remember Japan, if you get an iPhone from Japan, they use a different chip to allow for that because they've got a whole like public transport system. And so, they've built in the correct chip. So, I found that, I find it interesting that the Opal card works.

Tommy: Yeah, gone completely cardless. Sick.

Mason: So, what it is, is they use It's actually, it's actually your credit card. So it's not the Opal card on the phone, it's just your—

Josh: you're using Apple Pay.

Mason: Yeah, yeah, it's using Apple Pay to tap and go when you hop on each.

Josh: Ah, that's different.

Mason: Yeah, so like, better, like, on—

Tommy: that's the way around it though, because they can't— Apple won't open it up to the—

Mason: yeah, but I think I read something a while ago saying Apple was going to open it up in like either this year or next year. They're going to try.

Josh: Well, they could be anti-competitive stuff because with the credit card that they're doing, like all of that like cashback stuff and Um, you know, if you buy at the Apple Store, you'll get more money. Like, it's—

Tommy: I just got my brother, uh, set up with Apple Pay for the first time. He's fucking impressed.

Josh: It is good. But the one interesting thing about the iPhone— so photos are great. However, what Rob was saying was he took an iPhone, uh, an iPhone X photo and an iPhone Pro, like the new 11 Pro, whatever it is. What are we calling it? IPhone 11 Pro.

Mason: Yeah, 11 Pro.

Josh: Yeah, I took that, put it on the computer screen, small difference. Put the iPhone— like, so what he was saying is it's actually the screen on the iPhone 11 Pro that looks heaps better, which makes photos look heaps better.

Mason: Interesting.

Josh: So it's not necessarily— you're not get— and because it's so optimized, the camera for the screen they're getting a really good experience there, but it doesn't necessarily translate if you're putting it on the computer.

Tommy: Yeah, but I wonder if that will start— so for instance, when it's a time that everybody has iPhone 11s because, you know, these are all shitty, and then content through your Instagram feed has to lift because the experience and shit will just— stuff shot on old phones is going to look super shit because you got such a high— what is it, high resolution or high pixel?

Josh: So it's like, I mean, the, the thing Yeah, it means all those things. It's like dialling in all the saturation and stuff. But the, the interesting thing about the photos, which I can't work out whether it's good or bad, is they're doing so much digitally to the photo. So when you take a photo, yeah, it's already taking multiple photos at different exposures. Yeah, so it's almost like bracketing. So back in the day, if you wanted to get— or still, if you want to get a photo of like, um especially like real estate photos. You know, they'll get a photo of a room and outside you'll be able to see the backyard perfectly. Whereas if you took that with one photo, you wouldn't be able to expose.

Tommy: Yeah, different exposure.

Josh: And so they bracket. So you take multiple photos at different exposures and then you stitch them, like stick them all together. And that's what they're doing on the iPhone. So when you take a photo, it is manipulating all of the different exposures so that like, oh, giving your skin a little bit more brightness there, or—

Tommy: and so HDR function, you can see.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. So, but it's— I think it's almost like, uh, from what I could see, it's doing that even outside of HDR mode.

Tommy: That's good. I mean, there's moments where I've been like, oh, that's so annoying, I wanted to get that stuff in the background but it didn't come. Yeah, either way, anyway, it's a $1,800 toy.

Josh: Yeah, wow.

Tommy: Yeah, call your mom on To text your mum about, can you send me photos of my hair?

Josh: It's a good, um, the video, you know, being higher quality is good. Annoying, like Slofie is fucking dumb. I'll never do it. Slofie.

Tommy: What's Slofie?

Josh: It's a selfie that's in slow-mo. So we don't need narcissists doing videos of them sort of doing this with their hair. It's like the worst thing I've ever seen.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: Anyway, it's a daily talk show. Uh, send us a review through Apple Podcasts if you like the show. Yeah, also again, Pocket Casts is free now. You can download that. That's— oh, before we go, I forgot, nearly forgot my Mac.

Tommy: Okay, yeah, cheque it out. And then can you cheque mine too? Maybe Mr. Nice Guy.

Josh: Allow.

Tommy: Yeah, what are we gonna do? You can have my $20 off a car rental.

Mason: Oh, you don't actually— I don't think you get it. You don't get it right away.

Tommy: No, no, it's an instant win. It's one of five of this, so it's an instant win.

Josh: Oh, look at the animation. But like, I just want to—

Mason: it looks sick.

Josh: It's going to use up all my fucking battery. All right, next. Okay, next, next, next. I should have probably read that.

Mason: Signed up?

Josh: No, do I have to?

Mason: Yeah, if you just give me the number, I can enter it into my—

Tommy: Okay, here, I'll give him your way.

Josh: Give me a second. So, so no one else is going to be able to use this?

Mason: Give me your ticket number.

Josh: F-S-R-D-L-G-N-Y-G-5-8- 2. She's— I'm good, aren't I?

Tommy: You're quite articulate.

Josh: I mean, you have to because it's— maybe I'll sign in. It's in there.

Tommy: I'll sign up for my internet the other day.

Josh: Who have you gone with?

Tommy: Oh, it's just TPG.

Josh: Okay, that's fine.

Tommy: NBN.

Mason: A $5 to $50 discount from one of our featured retailers, venues, or subscription service providers. Claim. Do you want me to claim it?

Tommy: Yeah, a $5 to $50.

Josh: And then it's going to tell me what I've won.

Tommy: Or is that it? That's a rot. It's an absolute rot.

Mason: No, I reckon—

Josh: no, it will tell us. It will have to tell us. Here we go. He's excited.

Tommy: His eyebrows flicked up.

Mason: Hang on, I've got to activate the code. Oh, this is a nightmare.

Josh: Allow it. I'll finish my—

Tommy: You got it, mate.

Mason: Hang on, give me a second.

Tommy: Yeah. Anyway, this is the Daily Talk Show. And we'll be back tomorrow.

Josh: No, hang on, how far off 97?

Mason: Give me a sec, just about to hit submit.

Tommy: Submit for what? What are you getting?

Josh: He needs to find out.

Tommy: Oh, Victoria, the loopholes that you're gonna jump through for this shit.

Mason: All right, which do you want? An Amazon voucher?

Josh: For how much?

Mason: Claim voucher?

Josh: Yeah, Amazon. Yeah, I want Amazon. This is mine.

Tommy: Yeah, but isn't it 5 to 50?

Josh: Oh, 20 bucks!

Tommy: Yes, you got it!

Mason: Yeah, I got a 20 $20 Amazon voucher.

Tommy: Nice, nice.

Mason: I'll just, I'll just screenshot that and send it to you.

Josh: Oh, thank you. How good is that?

Mason: What do you want to get?

Josh: I don't know.

Tommy: That was real, that was live prize piggery.

Josh: That was pretty good, isn't it?

Tommy: Live prize piggery.

Mason: Amazing.

Tommy: Anyway, if the—

Josh: yeah, I was going to say, if you won your $20, what, you got to spend $79 or more? Oh no, that's okay, that's all right.

Tommy: No, no, no, you weren't planning on spending $79.

Josh: I'll do that!

Tommy: Don't spend it on anything else—

Josh: no, there's nothing you can get wrong.

Tommy: Absolute fraud, McDonald's, this is outrageous.

Josh: This isn't really a voucher, is it?

Tommy: It's more of a coupon book that we used to get at school.

Josh: I have an entertainment guide. Entertainment card. I've got $100 voucher on Amazon anyway so I could use that and then I'd get— then I'll use this. I wonder if it will allow me to do that. Anyway, it's The Daily Talk Show, hivethedailytalkshow.com. What have you won big? Uh, I think my auntie won from Tatts Lotto a car, which I didn't know that you could do cars through Tatts Lotto, but she had a car. I remember it had like a yellow number plate.

Tommy: Oh, one up here. My mum's— one of my mum's best friends.

Josh: 30 grand?

Tommy: Nah, more.

Josh: 50?

Tommy: Oh, it was like above 50, maybe 70. She just shows me this check. I'm like, what are you showing me a cheque for? It's a lot of money. Pulls their finger away from the top right-hand corner. Little Tatts Lotto man with his hat on.

Josh: Oh, that's right.

Tommy: I was like, what?

Josh: Oh, that's so good.

Tommy: She said, yeah, they called me and they said, I need you to come in, you've won. And she said, oh, how much? She said, I can't tell you over the phone, you could just come in. And so she came in and they— she won the 70-something grand.

Mason: Annoying if it was like 2 bucks.

Tommy: No, it's always over a certain amount that you could find it. There's like a limit where they won't tell you. Yeah, anything above.

Josh: Anyway, um, just very quickly, Bree went to a book club thing, and one of the questions people were asking is like, oh, if you won Tatts Lotto, uh, like, would you tell people and would you keep your job? And she was like, uh, no, I wouldn't tell people. I obviously should tell— maybe she wouldn't tell anyone else and she would keep her job. Which the keeping the job thing, I said, if you made what, made $100 million, you're still like, just make your own business at that point, right?

Tommy: The only flawed bit of that is if she tells you, everyone's gonna know because you can't fucking keep a secret.

Josh: I reckon I'd be good.

Tommy: Dude, you're not. You cannot keep your own secrets or other people's secrets.

Josh: You'd be very, um, we've got an announcement coming.

Tommy: The way I'd know is, yeah, some guy named Cabri would be delivering all messages from Josh Tanton.

Josh: Well, yeah, I'd have come in with pre-cooked meals, the meal preps. It would be fun. Could you imagine what would happen if I I came across heaps of cash, it'd be awesome. I don't even think I would buy a Tesla necessarily. All right, all right, it's a daily talk show. I would definitely like— I'd buy a house. Yeah, you would know. We'll see you tomorrow, guys. Catch ya, bye.
