Temperature Of The Room

Josh: The Daily Talk Show. It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 474.

Tommy: What's happening, guys?

Josh: You a bit irritable?

Tommy: I don't have IBS, irritable bowel syndrome, if that's what you're asking. But no, it's a bit fucking bit hot. I almost feel jet lagged. Okay.

Josh: Do you know what? You went to Singapore once.

Tommy: No, I was getting sick all last week.

Josh: For 24 hours, however.

Tommy: Mate, I'm putting in the effort. I'm making the cash.

Josh: What about we were in D-D? And you spent the whole, you know, like people go to Europe and they get, fair enough, they want to talk about Europe, they were there for 4 weeks. You went to Singapore for 24 hours.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And the amount of facts, it was like you were reading out of Wikipedia.

Tommy: We're having a conversation about—

Josh: no, it was definitely the, he was, the driver was definitely involved.

Tommy: I can't remember, he was lovely. Yeah, he was really nice. Manny, I think. First time ever ridden DD, it's a good experience. I mean, the interest I rode two last night. Second one, it's not an ad, but the second one was great too. Clean cars.

Josh: Well, that's why I said to him, I'm like, oh geez, your car smells good, what's the secret? What do you think he said, 97?

Mason: Smells good.

Josh: Yeah, I said, what's the secret?

Mason: His cologne.

Josh: No, he said it's a secret. I was so like, touche, but I was also like, that's so annoying, that's not good customer service.

Tommy: It was fine. I don't know what he could say, it was like a new car.

Josh: No, it wasn't a new car, there was a fragrance, there was something, some sort of cleaner.

Tommy: They are so hit and miss. I mean, Christian Hull was doing some for, like, a merch run that he did. And the fragrance, like a fragrance. So as in, I wasn't— not a— not one hanging down. It was an actual clip-on fragrance.

Alex: Yeah.

Josh: What was it? Yeah, it was one of those hanging, like, the tree, the Christmas tree type of thing.

Tommy: Just reminds me of my brother's Magna, or what was that, Mitsubishi? Yeah, it was a Mitsubishi something. He had one, and I just— it was vanilla scent. And so I was so hell-bent on getting one when I turned 18 for my car. And then you realise that they're just disgusting.

Josh: We had to move offices to get rid of that. That's how bad the fragrance was. Alex has joined us on the couch.

Alex: Hi, Alex.

Josh: Hello. So you've come in before. You're the— we describe you as the Cookie Monster in Shadylands.

Tommy: But I don't think we've given you the official title, which I would like to give you the official title.

Alex: Yes, please.

Tommy: Of the Daily Talk Show Baker.

Josh: Oh, what about the Cookie Monster?

Alex: No? What would you prefer?

Josh: Cookie Monster? Monster or baker?

Alex: The official baker.

Tommy: Okay, because your skills run beyond cookies. Yes, they do. Yeah, I love them. And so what else is your sort of signature outside of cookies?

Alex: Brownies. Yeah, love a good brownie. Brownie cookies. I just, I've made everything. I've made cakes. Yeah, I make cakes for my dad. I've just made, I'm not really, I like rustic. I think that's my thing. I don't want like, I love those cookies that like intricate details, but I have no time for it.

Josh: Like, so you're not a macaron girl? You're a—

Alex: no, I'm just like, I mean, like, I know all about and know how to make them because I watch a lot of YouTube videos on baking. But, um, yeah, like cookies, like sweet stuff is like the thing. But like, yeah, if you said to me, oh, can you make this? I'd be like, yeah, sure.

Tommy: So if we said, um, for our 500th episode party, she can't bake for like a What do you want?

Mason: You can't cater it.

Josh: You can't ask for cake.

Tommy: You can't go from, can you bake us cake?

Josh: Fuck, how much?

Tommy: Just one cake. I mean, one metre by one meter. Just one cake that's one metre by one meter.

Josh: No, it's too much.

Tommy: I think, yeah, a stack cake at least. Four stacks.

Alex: I can do something. I can suss it out. I'm always—

Josh: That's a no.

Alex: It's just like, it would take time and planning. Yeah, I'm a planner. And yeah, no, I'm— hey, I'd be up for it. I'd love a challenge. So I once made because we had it at work, it was like a Mars Bar cake, and I was like, I can make this. And I fully set the whole weekend and I made my own Mars Bar cake and I did all the layers and it was just because I couldn't get out of my head. So if you give me a job, I'll think about it and then work will get angry at me, but then I'll just do it. They'll be like, yeah, you're not working, basically, because I'm thinking about other shit.

Josh: How do they know you're thinking about it?

Alex: Because it's like my internet, I'll just be like, oh, just Google this.

Tommy: So YouTube playing.

Alex: It'll be on my phone and then I'll put it away and then the phone will come back out again because I have another idea.

Tommy: And it's just like, yeah, I love it. That's dedication. I mean, if I was doing a job interview for our show Baker, that's what I want them to say. I use work hours to look up, to research, and I cook over the weekend.

Josh: This is unbelievable. So Alex, you've brought something in.

Alex: Yeah. So this is just Something different, a little bit old school. I feel like you guys would appreciate it.

Josh: Okay, great. We've, um, we've been doing an LA diet since the first.

Alex: No, this has ruined it.

Josh: But okay, here we go.

Tommy: So no, today, today's Thursday though, so no, piss off. I appreciate you bringing this in.

Josh: I'm gonna eat it.

Tommy: Oh, of course, anything to break the camel's back.

Alex: Like, it's not something big. We gotta just have one.

Tommy: Yeah, that's not real. You're so cute.

Josh: Just one. We're at a Nando's.

Alex: Absolutely. How about this?

Josh: We're at a Nando's. Nando's event, and Kath from Nando's said, oh, Josh, would you like some chips? And I said, oh yes, please, I'll have some chips. And she was like asking, she asked a few people. I was talking to a person named Nicole. She was like, I have chips. I was just being polite and doing the same things, like, yeah, I'll have it. Nicole's having some, I'll have some chips.

Alex: Yeah.

Josh: And, uh, then it got to Tommy, and then Kath said, oh, do you want, do you want some chips, Tommy? Josh is having some.

Tommy: Absolutely not.

Josh: And he said he's not having any either. Yeah.

Tommy: And so I banned him.

Josh: So in front of everyone, he was like, no, no chippies for you.

Tommy: I mean, if someone needs to keep your diet accountable. The thing is, when I start, I'm just like, I get too focused.

Josh: I've been very good for the past 4 days.

Mason: Have you been doing your off and on running?

Josh: Not the running yet, but the walking has been very good. And I know this is a lot of just like bloating and stuff, but I went from start of the week 95 kilos, currently 91. That's 4 kilos. I mean, a lot of it's just, uh, it's not dehydration because I'm drinking a lot of water.

Tommy: But anyway, um, last night— before we get to this, or should we get to this first?

Josh: Yeah, let's do this first.

Tommy: Okay, okay.

Josh: So it's in a bio pack. Yeah, uh, it doesn't cost the earth. Please compost. Uh, we, we don't have a compost.

Mason: No, we're meant—

Alex: I mean, we're just putting the recycling, it's fine.

Tommy: I've got a green bin at home. I could take it home to the green bin. Can I put it in the green bin?

Mason: Uh, depends on your council.

Tommy: Can your council do it?

Mason: Yeah.

Tommy: So you're taking it home.

Josh: Perfect. Are you not the same council?

Tommy: Actually, can you look up— no, um, Bulleen. Yeah, just look at Bulleen Council.

Josh: I reckon you probably are the same council.

Tommy: Every second weekend we do.

Mason: You're like Manningham.

Tommy: Manningham, yes.

Josh: And what is your council?

Mason: Uh, Boorondahra.

Tommy: Okay, he's on the other side of the highway.

Josh: City of Casey was my, uh, council.

Tommy: What's your city?

Alex: City of Bulborb.

Tommy: City of Bulborb. You're near the mountain.

Josh: I feel like I feel like City of Casey would have been very close to taking that. She has the biggest council, I think, in Australia.

Tommy: So, Alexandra has cooked, baked for us before. So, this is—

Josh: Okay, ready?

Tommy: I'm fucking ready to see what she's cooked up.

Josh: Oh, I haven't seen it yet.

Tommy: Yes.

Josh: Are you ready? Okay, here we go.

Tommy: Yeah. Oh, look at Steph Clare-Smith.

Josh: I mean, yeah, so these look like protein balls, but they're definitely Oh, oh no, two have stuck together. Oh, I'm gonna have to go through it. Yeah, can you describe what is it, Alex?

Alex: Um, so this is those old school rum balls without any rum. Um, yeah, just, I love them and I just make them. It's so easy to make. And then the other ones are lemon because I was gonna make a lemon slice and then I couldn't be bothered, so I just turned them into balls basically. It's like lemon coconut and chocolate coconut.

Josh: Yeah, why don't you have this and don't have dinner?

Tommy: That's not how I roll, man. That's not how I roll. They smell unbelievable. They're unbelievable. Um, yeah, so last night— thank you, thank you, Alex, really appreciate it. Last night—

Josh: I'm done.

Tommy: So he's having 3 balls. We know who's looking fucking lean in LA and we know who's not.

Josh: Yeah, well, you actually— the thing is, you're gonna blow out at the end of the week because you haven't—

Tommy: oh no, I do want one.

Mason: No.

Josh: I'm being more balanced. You don't think?

Tommy: Anyway, um, last night—

Josh: is this balanced or not?

Tommy: It's not balanced at all.

Josh: Why?

Tommy: Because you had a burrito for brekkie. Breakfast burrito, about 1,000 calories in that thing.

Mason: No, you've got to get on the smoothie, smoothie train. No, no, you have to.

Josh: Smoothies, uh, like drinks, drinks. I've always learned don't drink your calories.

Mason: Anyway, eat them away with brownies though.

Josh: Can you turn off Alex's mic just because she's going into— no, that's fine, Alex, that's all good.

Tommy: Um, yeah, so last night, a bit embarrassing, when I was— there was a competitive eater there, Mr. 97.

Josh: This is at the Nando's event?

Tommy: At the Nando's event that we're emceeing. Competitive eater there, Chomp-O-Matic. He was on, um, Ninja Warrior as well. Really?

Josh: Yeah, to the semi-finals.

Mason: He's actually— he's got a good rig.

Tommy: He's ripped, he's ripped, and he's a competitive eater.

Josh: Oh yeah, work that one out. And so, um, yeah, Tommy was very—

Mason: um, just calories.

Josh: Yeah, I don't know about that. Uh, calorie is a calorie, so therefore you're drinking your calorie. No, but so that idea that he's lean because he drinks his calories is—

Tommy: no, no, he's lean because he trains. I've seen him working out, he's posted videos about it.

Josh: Yeah, anyway, uh, so we were emceeing the Nando's event I did my temperature joke, which it only has come out today, which I think it's because you're irritable.

Tommy: Oh no, not at all. Anything negative about my, uh, fuck delivery on a joke is a fuck delivery on a joke, irritable or not.

Josh: Why was it so?

Tommy: First of all, no, you, because you talk— so you'd come up with a whole— so we were set the task of emceeing an event for Nando's, which, you know, had a few things that we needed to get across. And, and, um, but then what I like about your approach—

Josh: you want to know some facts?

Tommy: Not really, but something— what your approach was, it was— I liked— it was like you're coming out with one-liners constantly. Like, you went in before you knew about what actually we needed to do. It was jokes. It was, can I come in a chicken suit? It was a whole bunch of stuff, which I appreciate, but it's, it's almost side step of what the MC needs to do— instruct the room, guide, guide the night. But you came up with some great jokes, and one of them was this hot one, which you, which you're sort of alluding to.

Josh: Temperature.

Tommy: Yeah, the temperature joke. I mean, it's your joke, I can't say your joke.

Josh: No, well, the idea is if you haven't been to Nando's before, they have, um, peri-peri sauces, they have bastings.

Mason: They're all bastings.

Josh: Yeah, bastings.

Mason: If you—

Tommy: how many people out there, Australians or like people from Melbourne, haven't had Nando's? Yeah, just don't know what Nando's is or have never been there. I reckon it'd be very few that have never been there and even less that have never heard of Nando's.

Josh: Well, they, um—

Tommy: You heard of Nando's, Alex?

Alex: Because, um, I'm always on the internet and like people— cheeky Nando's was like going around in the UK and everyone was like obsessed with Nando's.

Josh: Cheeky Nando's?

Alex: Yeah, it's like an English saying. It's like a cheeky Nando's.

Tommy: I haven't been to cheeky Nando's.

Alex: Having a cheeky Nando's, it's like an English thing, like English boys love it.

Mason: British meme.

Alex: Yes. Yeah. Like it's a thing. And then there was one in Trelgon, so it's like very fancy. Trelgon was very like everyone was like, oh, that's so fancy. Trelgon's gonna have Nando's. And then that was it.

Tommy: Yeah. Well, were you there? Still there?

Alex: I haven't been in years to Trelgon, so I can only presume.

Josh: Okay. The head of food, Mario, was there at the event. But anyway, so I, I did the joke. You don't think that I delivered the joke right?

Tommy: You did not deliver the joke right.

Josh: Why?

Tommy: There's, there's no dispute of that.

Josh: So what happened was it all happened very quickly where I was speaking to Kat, who works at Nando's, and, uh, I was talking sauces. I was trying to work out, um, one of the interesting things is when you go up and order, you ask for a mild— you can ask for a mild basting. There is no mild sauce, it's a medium sauce.

Tommy: Oh yeah, mild temperature.

Josh: No, no, the sauces don't match up with the bastings.

Tommy: Okay, they're not the same. Yeah, because one's a, like, a chicken marinade or a chicken basting, and then some—

Josh: that sort of rattled me because I, I went out, you went too hard, I went to the source, I went to the— is that what happened?

Tommy: I think, yeah. I mean, you just said that I walked off on you talking to Mario because you started talking about I don't know what.

Josh: That wasn't on mic.

Tommy: No, that was off my—

Josh: no, but so then, then, so you're getting all these details about like, how do you source the the chilies and stuff. And you know how many—

Mason: you were the one saying that last night.

Tommy: Yeah, so hang on, wait, get back to it. So the reason you stuffed it up—

Josh: why?

Tommy: Say your joke. Say your joke.

Josh: So how I said it? I don't know how you want—

Tommy: how you wanted to say it. Actually, say it how you said it, because then that will— I want to hear that first so it's not, you know, connected or convoluted.

Josh: So we only had one microphone, which I think in the future we were being tight and being like, hey, Nados, you can organise the microphone. Microphone because we hadn't quoted that within the fee.

Tommy: There wouldn't have been a plug-in for the second microphone.

Josh: Well, yeah, so we didn't want to get into the business of carrying our own PA, so Mimi, the lovely DJ, had organised a microphone for us.

Tommy: Thank you.

Josh: It was a single microphone.

Alex: Yeah.

Josh: And so I feel like there's a justification coming for the stuff up. No, well, because you then— the problem is when we're doing the show, uh, when we do the Daily Talk Show, we both have our microphones. It'd be an absolute clusterfuck if I had to Because the thing is, you, your default is this.

Tommy: But hang on, no, no, I'm still asking to tell, tell us how you delivered the joke.

Josh: This is the thing, jokes are all about timing.

Tommy: I'm pretty sure you had the microphone at that point.

Josh: I had to take the microphone off you, remember?

Tommy: Amazing.

Josh: So he's, yeah, and so that's the thing, it's like if jokes are all about timing and you've got some guy who's, it was the equivalent of like I'm the pilot but I don't get to touch the joystick. But so you took the microphone, I took the microphone, which then Fucked up my complete timing.

Tommy: Oh, so you're admitting that you fucked it up?

Josh: Yeah, yeah, the joke maybe didn't go that well. Well, it's still got a laugh. Maybe. Or no, it's got an energy to the room, don't you think? People interacting or not?

Tommy: Big difference.

Josh: What do you think?

Tommy: You just wrapped a laugh in an energy. There was energy in the room.

Josh: But energy is good, that's what we sort of were paid for.

Tommy: But there's also energy in a room where a comedian flops.

Josh: Do you think Nando's, at that point, in all honesty, do you think Nando's were like, oh, what is he talking about?

Tommy: So the thing about, the thing about coming up with a joke, we're not comedians and—

Josh: Speak for yourself.

Tommy: It's a chance, like actually thinking something is going to be funny. This is where I take my hat off to comedians and then rehearsing it.

Josh: Do you take your hat off to me?

Tommy: Not at all.

Josh: For my bravery?

Tommy: Coming up with it and then—

Mason: I take my hat off to you, Joe.

Josh: Thank you.

Tommy: Remembering how to deliver it and then delivering it is a fucking weird experience. So you did yours and I had one of mine.

Josh: Yeah, but the thing is that Uh, yours is more of an attack than a joke.

Tommy: What's the difference?

Mason: Have we heard the joke yet?

Josh: Uh, well, so the way that I did it— so the way that I did it was I said, um, Tommy's talked for 2 minutes doing all the facts that I'd already—

Tommy: okay, you still just get to the joke. That's all we've asked for.

Josh: He said— he then points them after he's said everything, all the easy shit, all the bits about—

Tommy: is this still avoiding the delivery of the joke?

Josh: So the joke is he got to, he got to say, just quickly though, he got to say like what the event was called, right? He's talking about like, uh, he's the hero because he remembered the, the name. And to be honest, he was back, like, not backstage because there wasn't a backstage, but he was walking around going, uh, the legendary WTSF.

Tommy: Legendary WTSF.

Josh: It's $11.

Tommy: There's nothing embarrassing about it. About that. I, of course, I didn't remember it clearly, but it was written on this thing, so I actually got to fucking read it out.

Josh: So anyway, so he got the easy job, and so then he turned— Tommy just said, I guess, oh, you know, we've got a podcast, blah blah, I'm here with my co-host Josh. And am I remembering this right?

Tommy: No, not at all. We're well into the thing, it was all happening.

Josh: And then what do you mean all happening? I hadn't spoken at that point.

Tommy: No, but so you had the mic?

Alex: No.

Josh: The first time I got the mic.

Tommy: Oh no, it wasn't the joke. He didn't deliver the joke the first time.

Josh: Yes, it was. It was the first thing.

Tommy: You fucked your one shot, dude. You had 2 minutes to remember what the joke was. Because this is the thing.

Josh: No, because I'm trying to remember. I'm trying to think, what are you saying? What do I need to say? So I had just come off the back. What had happened was, as I said, I was speaking to Kat. We're 30 seconds from talking. You were speaking to Mimi and saying, hey, I'll just get the microphone stuff. I didn't know that was happening.

Tommy: But we're still waiting for the joke.

Josh: I know. But just let me tell the story. So, uh, I was saying to Kat, oh, the mild, the medium, and she's like explaining, oh, the basings and the sauces, they're different, blah blah. And then you're like, oh, Josh, come over, we're doing it. I'm like, okay. And then Tommy's like, welcome to the legendary WTF night. My name's Tommy, this is Josh, we're from The Daily Talk Show. You've got 3 mates of Nando's, and we're mates of Nando's. That's why you're here tonight. You're gonna get to make some beautiful peri-peri sauce, uh, thanks to the peri-peri masterclass. Which is being run by Mario, the head of food. So he's saying all the shit that like I fucking memorized, right?

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah. And so, guys, so we got, we got Josh here. I was like, oh, hey guys. I was actually just speaking to Kat about the sauces and the base things.

Mason: Yeah, that did happen.

Josh: And it got me thinking. It got me thinking about the room, the temperature in the room.

Tommy: No, you didn't say the temperature of the room. I'm thinking about—

Josh: I'm thinking about sauces.

Tommy: What people's— what people's—

Josh: what people order. Flavours.

Tommy: That's where I went.

Josh: All right, lemon and herb, put your hand up.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And then every time they put their hand up, Tony sort of like grabbed the microphone and said, oh geez, that's weak.

Tommy: No, no, no. I only said lemon and herb. Someone put their hand up, I said, get out, get out. So yeah, I got a good laugh from Alex.

Alex: Thank you.

Josh: So that was funny.

Tommy: That was the funny bit. But the joke was, and I only did it then for the— I told Extra Hot, I told the guy put his hand up, Extra Hot, stop virtue signalling that he's a tough, tough nut.

Mason: Top dog.

Tommy: Top dog. But no, no, no. So the good thing is, I mean, so did I make you shine? I don't know. I don't know.

Mason: Yeah, you set it up for Tommy to recover your joke.

Tommy: Yeah, I did come up. Thanks, Mr. 7. That's how I do it. Because then I came back with the other one, which was instructing. So the joke, the joke was like, all right, Josh wanted to say it like this. I want to test the temperature of the room.

Josh: But to be clear, with everything that you'd said at the beginning, the only thing that you had given me left to say which we didn't end up saying because it would have been bizarre. You said all this stuff. The only thing that I could have said is, oh, and just so you know, the toilets are in the back. I just, I couldn't be the MC.

Tommy: We haven't done the masterclass.

Josh: I couldn't be the MC.

Tommy: We haven't done, I hadn't, no, there was a whole other back bit that I did.

Mason: Okay.

Tommy: I just cleaned up your fucking mess.

Mason: Is that your fourth, by the way?

Josh: What was that?

Mason: Is that your fourth?

Tommy: Oh yeah, you just had a fourth.

Josh: I haven't eaten it yet. I'm holding it.

Mason: That's your third or your fourth?

Josh: This is my fourth.

Mason: Okay.

Josh: My third in the tummy.

Tommy: So then my joke—

Josh: are we really doing this? Are we going through all of our jokes from last night?

Tommy: Absolutely nailed. Was— I mean, you can, you probably remember it better because you saw the moment play out with a whole bunch of laughs.

Josh: I want to hear you tell it.

Tommy: No, anyway, I won't tell it.

Josh: No, you will.

Tommy: So the masterclass, the Peri Peri making masterclass, was happening in the back room and we had to work out who was going to go there.. And so we split up the room. So it was going to be like the left side is going to go first, the right side, you know, whatever. That was how it was going to set. And so I told them the way we're going to split this up, because everyone there was influencers, so they all had social media followings, thousands. Some of them had like 100,000. I said, so the way we're going to break this up and, and work out who's going first is everyone who has real followers on the left and everyone who's bought fake followers over on the right. So just people with fake followers, put your hands up. And then everyone laughed.

Josh: Yeah, half the room laughed.

Tommy: It got a good one.

Josh: What about—

Tommy: And then I had my hand up and then it fell back on us. Well, I guess it's only us then.

Josh: Yeah, that was your extra sort of bit. You like layering.

Tommy: Ad-lib, mate.

Josh: I'm a comedian.

Alex: What about—

Tommy: I'm not.

Josh: I'm not.

Tommy: I'm not shit myself trying to do stand-up.

Josh: Oh my God. What about— there was the one other bit which I don't know whether it was good or not. Which I don't think— I just get— I vibe. I can tell what you're thinking when I'm talking, which can be quite distracting when you're bombing.

Tommy: I wanted to open with, this is not the first time we've both shared a mic.

Josh: Yeah, which I don't understand. Like a guy named Mike? Is that the joke?

Tommy: Is it? Oh no, actually, that's a great one though.

Alex: That's a good one.

Josh: So what is it? It's not the first time we shared a mic.

Tommy: A mic. You could refer to your genital as a mic.

Josh: Really? Has anyone ever done that before?

Alex: I don't—

Tommy: it's just a thing, and it's just a silly—

Josh: who said, like, the shape of a microphone?

Tommy: You could call it a rolling pin if you're wanting to get more baker-specific. You could call it a piece of spaghetti if you're wanting to get—

Josh: I've never heard that. Anyway, the, um, uh, the one other bit that I did, which I don't know if— I can't tell if people were laughing at how pathetic it was.

Tommy: What was it?

Josh: I said, so, um, So social media, uh, who knows about social media? Well, who's got it? Who's got Instagram? And the joke is that they've all got Instagram. Was it all right?

Tommy: Yeah, I think that's okay.

Josh: I mean, these are all just lessons, aren't they? What is— what do we take out of it?

Tommy: So from a facts point of view, two mics need two mics, need a baby to shine.

Josh: No, but what I wanted to do was show you how much stuff that I remembered, how much I retained that I didn't get to really share, or I shared and it Bombed.

Tommy: There's something about though doing these where you, you're present but you also are in this like moment, right? Where it's like all of a sudden you've done it all, you've done it all, all of a sudden you delivered everything and you're like, did I deliver all that? I can't really remember.

Josh: Well, they, um, you got a message, say?

Tommy: Yeah, uh, the wife's not going out tonight.

Josh: So where was she going?

Tommy: She's out for dinner.

Josh: With who?

Tommy: Lani, Rhys Mitchell's sister.

Josh: Where were they going?

Tommy: I don't know.

Josh: Okay, but they're not going anymore. Did Lani cancel?

Tommy: I'm not sure.

Josh: Did you not want Amy to go?

Tommy: I always like my wife to be home when I'm home. It's not like we don't see each other during the day that often. I must have a little snuggle.

Josh: So you can't do anything on the evenings?

Tommy: No, I think it's just I enjoy my wife. I'm enjoying my wife's company.

Josh: Yeah, no, I get it. Anyway, the I didn't mean that. I'm trying to remember what I was going to say.

Mason: What you've remembered from Nando's.

Josh: Oh yeah, here's some stuff. This is why I think— because the thing is, not nervous.

Tommy: You weren't nervous?

Josh: Not nervous at all.

Tommy: That's good.

Josh: Yeah, I can be dumb, I can say silly stuff, I cannot make sense. Not nervous.

Tommy: That's good. I mean, I haven't even told you the fuck-up I did.

Josh: Yeah, well, we'll get to that.

Tommy: It was worse than all of that.

Josh: Uh, no, but yeah, so some of the things to know The peri-peri sauce and bastings. Nando's use a very special chilli from South Africa. It's called the African bird's eye chili. They source these chilies from 1,400 farmers in South Africa. It's pretty amazing stuff. So you'll get to make your own peri-peri sauce later today with Mario.

Alex: Are you doing—

Josh: oh yeah, so you're doing— I see you're And so there was that. What else did I say? Oh, the other facts. Oh yeah, this is the problem. You don't want the facts just to feel like facts. They should be part of conversation. Here's a fact. Yeah, that's right.

Tommy: I did that.

Josh: I was like, there was a point where I was like, didn't know what to say, so I was like, oh, fun fact, uh, do you remember this bit? The chicken is actually, um, marinated for 24 hours.

Tommy: It's good. And then he said, that's where I go wrong.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why I go wrong at home. That's great, I like that.

Tommy: I mean, he wasn't—

Josh: did not get that. Why did it not get that laugh on the night?

Tommy: I don't know, maybe mine just blew it out of the water.

Josh: Did you find any of it funny? Did you find it useful, us doing it as a duo?

Tommy: Yeah, definitely, definitely. It's nice to have— yeah, your mate next to you.

Josh: There was literally one point, there's one point where Tommy's, uh, he ordered me the chicken ribs because that's the only thing I could eat. The WTF meal, you get 4 ribs, a quarter chicken and chips, $11. Oh, it's real cheap, really good value. Up until October 18th, also Tully Smyth's birthday. Yeah, uh, good fact, good fact. Uh, but, uh, I was eating one of the ribs, uh, because that's the only thing I was allowed to eat. And then, so I'm probably like, we're in the back, like Nando's, like the setup is on the sort of the back area and the front area is just as usual. And so I was sitting in the front area, uh, speaking to a new friend that I made, and I was just like, ah, she was like, oh, do you want a chip? I'm like, oh no, Tommy said I'm not allowed or whatever. And then I just hear, it's like, okay, we're announcing the competition winners, and Tommy's up there on the mic. No joke, I was like, I said to her, I was like, do you think I should get up? And she's like, oh yeah, you could. I was like, ah. And then so I stood up and they're like, oh, first place goes to— I was just, I sat back down. I was like, I know he's got it pretty good. I think I'm just going to cramp his style. But then at the end, at the end, the final bit when he's signing off, so as you said, there's a, um, a comp— a competitive eater.

Tommy: Yeah, name, good to bring his background. Name, Chompamatic.

Josh: Chompamatic. Chomp-O-Matic.

Tommy: Look him up.

Josh: Uh, was sitting next to Jimmy's Burgers, who we've had on the show before.

Tommy: Yeah, owns Eazy's.

Josh: Yep. And, uh, at the end of the night, you, uh, I just saw you, um, basically talking about the night and you were really happy with yourself and you—

Tommy: I don't know about that.

Josh: I point to Chomp and you say, oh, was it one of the best sauces or what were you actually even describing?

Tommy: Yeah, so he won the best sauce. So there was a taste test of people's peri-peri, homemade peri-peri sauce, and he won the best prize.

Josh: And so you're saying, yeah, great night, and you know, obviously our winner, Hulk. Hulk, mate, you've done really, you've done really well, Hulk. And, um, he said it twice. He said twice, and, and I didn't say— I just— and then he said, ah, I'm so sorry, that's very rude of me, I mean Chompamatic. And so Hulk Smash Foods is another competitor.

Tommy: Yeah, we've had on the show, had on the show, but before.

Josh: But the funny thing was that Tommy said afterwards, I was like, oh, what made you click that you got it wrong? And he said that Chomp, Chomp was looking at him mouthing.

Tommy: It was so kind of him pointing. It was so kind of him though, because he's just like, you're fucking up my life. As he was saying it, I was like just taking it in. And then, because I had tuned out of my— what I was saying. And then, like, because I was being distracted from my talking of his mouth moving.

Josh: And then I just—

Tommy: it was like it happened in real— like, I could see it happen. And then I realised and said sorry. But as at that moment, it's like you just get that sort of like flush of heat. It just makes you feel embarrassed. Like, embarrassment is like—

Josh: and that's where I guess the duo comes in, because that's where I stood in. But I hadn't really prepared anything, so I started talking about Didi. And then I'd found out, like, I get a bit—

Alex: I get—

Josh: do you think maybe I get too into the details?

Alex: Yeah.

Josh: Is that the problem? Well, definitely, because I, I said to them, I was like, uh, Kat from Nando's said, oh, what I found out is the $100 voucher that you get, but it's actually 5 $20 vouchers. And then so I said to Kat, I was like, oh geez, you should just drive 20, uh, for $20 and then get out of the car and order another one. That's why I said to her in a private conversation, and then when Tommy was bombing and I picked up the mic, I was like, oh, don't forget, Dee Dee, you get $100. And I was like, however, there are, they're 5 $20 vouchers, so what I'd suggest is drive for $20, then get out, order another one, and drive for another $20. That's great.

Tommy: So it's a good fact that go over your head because it takes a bit of time to think about That's a hard thing about like trying to deliver a bunch of information. Yeah, what is the—

Josh: hang on, the crowd thinking? Like, I mean, you're very in your head with it, but are they like—

Tommy: I just think like the little as possible because they're probably distracted.

Josh: They're not all thinking about their own, trying to get their insides dry.

Tommy: Well, that's why when I think about the embarrassment I felt calling Chomp Hulk, yeah, is that most of the people wouldn't have understood anything because they don't really know.

Josh: Which probably looks even weirder.

Tommy: Which— oh, sorry about that. Then they're trying to catch up with why I was apologizing. Why was he just— why is the MC just apologizing? And so that's where I give myself credit. I give anyone— not credit, sorry. I give like some leeway to anyone up on stage because you're getting lost.

Josh: How can we be the best MCs if we're to do this thing, if we were to do one every 2 weeks for different brands?

Tommy: I think this is it, actually, rather than speaking directly to the audience. So you sort of direct them like, this is the show, but then you and I talk to each other because I think that's where we shine. That's where we can have the banter back and forth.

Josh: Oh, you were controlling the mic.

Tommy: I saved the night.

Josh: Two mics. Yeah, two mics. I think in the future it should be a given.

Tommy: Yeah, it's on our, it's on our new rider. Yeah, we don't—

Josh: Blue M&Ms.

Tommy: Blue M&Ms. Who gets those?

Josh: No, there was the— trying to remember the band.

Tommy: Mariah Carey or Metallica or something.

Josh: They basically— did you know about this, Alex? They would have—

Alex: but you always hear storeys about like something so specific.

Josh: Well, the reason they do the specific stuff is because basically a band, if they ask for M&M's, like blue M&M's in a jar, then they know that they can walk into the green room because the rider includes that stuff, but also the technical stuff as well. Like, I need my guitar here and this and this, this. The reason apparently this band— I can't remember which one, you look it up, you actually find out— Blue M&Ms or— yeah, green M&Ms or whatever. The reason they would do it— or blue, green, try green. I think it's green. Uh, the reason they would ask for green M&Ms is because then they could look in their green room and be like, oh yep, they've done everything that we've asked.

Tommy: Because if you haven't done the green M&Ms, they haven't read the rider properly, you haven't put the guitar in the right potentially.

Josh: Have you found it? I mean, interesting thinking, typing coloured M&M's, writer, musician, or like famous person.

Tommy: Yeah, that's interesting.

Josh: Closing the loop on some interesting stuff. Okay. Uh, yesterday, Alex, did you hear the episode yesterday? We were talking about Knucklebones.

Alex: No, sorry, I get distracted by work. I wouldn't, I wouldn't listen to it.

Josh: I'm sorry.

Tommy: Were you potentially on YouTube looking at what cake you could bake for the 500th?

Alex: Maybe. No, I was busy listening to my Jeffrey Epstein podcast.

Tommy: Oh yeah, I've seen that floating about.

Josh: How's he going?

Tommy: Oh, he's dead.

Alex: Good riddance. But it's just, it's crazy. Like, he is crazy.

Josh: That's crazy.

Alex: That's crazy. Yeah, I mean, I could go into it, but I don't know if you want me to go into it.

Tommy: No, he's a sick fuck. That's what we know.

Alex: Basically, that's it. Like, yeah, it's kind of come to two conclusions. That he's done it on purpose, he knows he's never going to get away with it, or there's something bigger going on people don't know about. I just think that are my two things.

Tommy: Well, yeah, there's Illuminati, there's like government officials being involved, things going on.

Alex: And there's a guy at work and I'm like, oh, what's happened? And yeah, it's—

Josh: what does your guy at work know?

Alex: He just— he's in the same boat. He's like, yeah, it's— there's something going on, there's something going on.

Tommy: He's been on Reddit.

Josh: I mean, everyone's a fucking expert. Just the guy sitting next to—

Tommy: Do they talk about Bill Clinton at all?

Alex: No, no. Yeah, it's basically about him and the prosecutors, the couple of the victims. It's only like 4 episodes, maybe 3, but it's just really good. And they're only like half an hour, but so good.

Tommy: Yeah, Bill Clinton flew on his private plane like heaps of times. And so the thing is that on the plane is where they Thought shit was going down.

Josh: Anyhow, anyhow, something lighter.

Tommy: Yeah, a little bit lighter, slightly.

Josh: I got an email, uh, a message from Georgie in regards to the knuckle bones stuff. Yeah, it wasn't knuckle bones.

Tommy: Not knuckle bones. That was what we were thinking about yesterday, which is great.

Mason: What I led with, with the title as well.

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, you, you have a Google.

Mason: Yeah, it came up on Google.

Tommy: Oh, so they're called knuckle bones.

Josh: They might have been, there were multiple names. The name that I remember as a kid Crazy Bones.

Tommy: Crazy Bones. I remember Knuckle.

Alex: I need to talk about these things. Yeah, yeah, the things you play with. Yeah, yeah, my sister had them.

Tommy: Crazy Bones or Knuckle Bones?

Josh: No, they're Crazy Bones.

Alex: I'll be one or the other, but I distinctly remember them and I didn't really get it. And I was like, she played with them and I didn't really get it.

Tommy: Yeah, I still can't understand what kids did with them. I don't think I actually knew the game that you'd play. I just liked having them.

Josh: Yeah, you had to like knock them over or something, and every one that you knocked over Because of winning, it was real gambling because it was like you would— the ones that you would hit over, you'd get to keep, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, it was the only way that you could win.

Alex: Marbles.

Tommy: Yeah, it was just—

Josh: it was all marbles.

Tommy: And so one of these games, uh, Georgia—

Josh: Georgie. Yeah, Georgie.

Tommy: Georgie closed the loop. She remembers.

Josh: They called. Appreciate it, Georgie, because it did take us, uh, we spent a lot of time thinking about it. Uh, emails, 97s.

Mason: Yeah, we, uh, we got a— we got a couple of, um messages.

Tommy: First, was it about my shirt?

Mason: Well, yeah, actually we did, we did get one of, uh, one of those as well.

Josh: This is a different one today, isn't it?

Tommy: Oh, different.

Mason: So now, yeah, it's a different one.

Tommy: But I mean, I know he's— Josh is saying a different shirt today. This is a different shirt.

Mason: Yeah, yeah, I mean different message as well. But it's crazy, you, you both were wearing different shirts than you've ever worn on the show.

Tommy: That's true.

Mason: Josh wears black, but your hat's different.

Josh: Yeah, my hat is different. Yeah, I got this, it says, um, schlepper. Gave it to me. Thanks, Hayden. Anyway, go on.

Mason: Anyway, uh, we got a message from Dr.

Tommy: K. Hang on, now we're talking messages or emails?

Mason: Email.

Josh: No, that's right.

Tommy: Fifth ball.

Mason: Fifth one.

Tommy: Fifth ball.

Mason: G'day, Gronks. Greetings from Princeton, USA. I'm from Melbourne and consider myself an Australasian. Australia-Asian? Australasian?

Josh: No, no, no, no.

Tommy: Australia.

Mason: Australia-Asian.

Josh: Yeah, Australia.

Mason: Anyway, I went to America for uni after high school and lived in the States for more than 10 years. I used to listen to Hamish and Andy as a way to keep intact with my Aussie background. Now my perfect day starts with listening to you gronks. Found you via Dear Valor and started listening at episode 230. You are part of my daily routine. Instead of checking my inbox, the first thing I do when I wake up is plug your latest episode into my ears.

Josh: That'd be good for you.

Mason: You accompany my drive to CrossFit and then my morning walk with my corgi. I found the relationship between you two resembles mine with my wife so much. Josh, you echo my wonders and struggles in so many ways. Tommy, the things you get annoyed at Josh at are the same things that my wife gets annoyed at me for. I once told her that a salad must consist of leafy greens, leafy vegetables, in order to be called a salad. Through Josh, I can definitely see how annoying I can be. Also, Tommy, I went to Geelong Grammar, a little sports rivalry with Wesley.

Josh: Yeah, did you ever play sport at Wesley?

Tommy: Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. What I didn't do was like the rowing and stuff. I would have loved to. There was—

Josh: why didn't you? Hi, like, do you have to—

Tommy: no, I left, I left, no, I left Wesley. It started in year 10, I'm pretty sure, but there was some good like Yeah, head of the river stuff. Geelong Grammar were fucking great at that. It was down in Geelong or down that way, head of the river. Anyway, yeah, there was definitely— yeah, we— I had some friends that went to Geelong Grammar.

Mason: Hope you enjoy LA. Uh, also hope you've got an East Coast trip planned next time. There are tonnes of smart people at Princeton University. FYI, Albert Einstein taught and lived here for at least half of his life. P.S. I am Chinese. I can help you guys set up WeChat and an official The Daily Talk Show WeChat account. P.S. I saw this weird orange vanilla flavoured Coke in the shop while I was listening to you guys discuss American soda flavours.

Josh: I saw that. Dr. K has taken a photo. We'll post a photo.

Mason: Yeah, it's crazy.

Josh: What was it?

Tommy: That's crazy.

Josh: It's crazy.

Mason: It's orange vanilla.

Josh: Yeah. That sounds like a fuck-up, doesn't it? It sounds like, oh, we didn't clean the vanilla off.

Alex: Just mixed it together.

Tommy: Yeah, that's some weird— that's a weird flavour. Orange vanilla. I never got into the orange.

Josh: East Coast. Dr. K, we would love to come to the East Coast.

Tommy: Love to. So you could do New York and then outside of—

Josh: Yeah, I did have the idea. I don't even know if I float it.

Mason: No, go for it.

Josh: Well, I was going— I said it to Bree this morning, uh, I was like, maybe—

Tommy: You right there popping my ears?

Josh: Why? Why? Because we were in Singapore. It wasn't a plane anyway.

Tommy: I was in a jetpack.

Josh: Uh, the— No, I was thinking I know we haven't spoken about the book. Which one? Seth's book.

Tommy: What book? What's Seth's book, guys? Alex, do you know what Seth's book is?

Alex: Oh no, mate.

Mason: Where are the pages for that, by the way?

Josh: Do we still have those? Uh, yeah, we— I hope we do. But I had a moment where I was like, oh, you know what, within the next 3 weeks I could finish it. And I was like, oh, maybe, um, maybe I finish it and then I could like surprise the guys and be like, we're going to New York and we're going to go deliver it. But then I thought about, okay, it's like, what, a 6-hour flight to New York? It's far. It knocks out a couple of days once you like get there and all that sort of thing. But Ben Harlem did also comment and said he was disappointed that we weren't coming to New York.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Brad Blanks also disappointed we're not going to New York.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: I mean, we're disappointed we're not going to New York.

Tommy: We're fucking real disappointed.

Josh: Maybe we do go to New York or no, man.

Tommy: We would have to add more time.

Josh: Yeah, we've got 11 days.

Tommy: Add more time.

Josh: It's a long way unless we did the, um, this is not, we're not deciding on it now, but we're just talking through it. Thanks, Dad.

Tommy: It's, it's, it's far.

Josh: You're very like, when you, um, get a bit tired, you, um, get very specific on how you want to do everything.

Tommy: Oh no, but we've already decided that we're going to do LA. Yeah, 10 days.

Josh: We're doing 11.

Tommy: Well, sorry, 20, 20 shows, 21 shows.

Josh: It's 11 days though.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: So we're doing 21 shows out of LA. That's the reason we decided was because last time we broke it up and this time I think we could do it.

Josh: You couldn't handle a lot in a short amount of time because I guess that's a concern with New York. I don't want to do New York if it means that Tommy's going to not feel good.

Tommy: I'm not worried about me. Who are you worried about?

Josh: Baby boy, 90 sevs, stamina.

Tommy: Like, I'm just worried about you.

Mason: You were worried about Josh.

Alex: Are you kidding me, mate? I've travelled the world multiple times.

Josh: I'm an absolute explorer. It's true. The only difference between me and the camera operators on like Lonely Planet is that, um, I mean, our planet— well, Lonely Planet— oh no, yeah, is the—

Tommy: they can deliver a joke properly.

Josh: Very good, very good. What's the temp in here, guys? Very hot.

Tommy: Um, very hot. The—

Josh: see, that's good. See, I'm better when I spitball. Maybe I shouldn't.

Tommy: No, that's what talking— you and I talking to each other can do. It allows you to ad-lib rather than have all these rehearsals.

Josh: I would have liked Vox Pops. It's— you see, the thing is, it reminded me too much of my theatre performance in school because I had like dialled in that whole thing. So I was wearing like— I did it a week out of the like, uh, it was drama, not theater. And, um, it was pretty loose. Or maybe it was theater. I'm getting bogged down. Whatever it was, you had to go to a, like, a not an audition. You had to, like, present your work and you had to do a monologue. And I did some monologue around Australiana, and I created a music track that I performed to. It was also almost like Mr. G style performance. No joke. Like, I went full on. I, the way that it was Australiana and it was like 2 years prior, Lara Bingle came out with her ad.

Tommy: So where the bloody hell are you?

Josh: And so I did the whole performance and then at the very end, the pinnacle moment, I rip off my top and I've got a bikini underneath. I go, so where the bloody hell are you?

Tommy: Oh my God. Have you got footage of this?

Alex: No.

Tommy: Oh, that's a shame.

Josh: Because it was a Because it was just like to these, you know, like 4, like 3 teachers who are like part of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority.

Tommy: Yeah, what a weird job.

Josh: Watching and just being like, what do they think about that? The assessors. They're like, he definitely made that up last week. Like, because you're meant to throw those things like, yeah, everyone's doing like monologues where it's like these real serious performances and they're crying and all that sort of thing.

Mason: Yeah, you prepare for like a month, 2 months.

Josh: And oh yeah, months and months. And I had just gone way, um, 2 days. Yeah, I just remember that part of it was my friend Steph had come over because she was doing like— she'd been planning or whatever. She's like, ah, so do you want to perform yours? I was like, in, um, it's called Soundtrack Pro. It was a programme on, um, Apple. It was like came with Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro, and I was making mute— like I was creating music. She's like, what are you doing? Like, you're doing a theatre performance on music now? I'm like, I'm doing a whole original track. And so yeah, it was a 2 days out.

Tommy: Yeah, classic sprint from JoJo.

Josh: I was quite stressed about it. So my point was that was organised. The ripping off of the, so where the bloody hell are you, sort of reminds me of the what's the temperature in the room. I think that I would.

Tommy: Nah, it's okay.

Josh: I think I would wig out maybe. I think that the pressure of, I think everyone knows, oh geez, the way that he's acting, he's got something that he wants to say. Do you think?

Tommy: Or no, but no, because it— because you said you're not nervous, I could look at you and think you're nervous, but then there's no indicator. I don't know what the indicator is. Yeah, because if you're saying I don't actually get nervous, then what is actually happening to you then?

Josh: Yeah, it's a— it's, it's a— it's trying— it's processing of information while you're speaking. Like, I don't necessarily give— yeah, is it It's interesting, do you know what I mean? Like why, like it's 30 people who are eating Nando's.

Tommy: If you were to have to stand up and MC an event at Nando's and try and do what these gronks did.

Josh: What about like nailing high-level jokes like I'd prepared as well?

Tommy: But what do you, how would that make you feel?

Alex: No, I couldn't do it because I don't like public speaking.

Tommy: Yeah, are you nervous right now?

Alex: No, not really. I was just, to be honest, I kind of forgot the question. I was too busy looking and then I'm like, we're looking over at Post Malone on the wall and then you asked me and I was like, I'm just I'm pretty sure, yeah, sorry.

Josh: Pretty boring.

Tommy: Mate, this is actually our 3-month review and performance review. So you say we should do that as an episode, weekend banter performance review with Mr. 97 in depth.

Josh: So Dr. K, thank you so much for the email. We would like to go to the East Coast.

Tommy: I'd love to, and I'd love to say hello if Dr.

Josh: K sounds smart too, don't you think?

Tommy: So smart.

Josh: Like doctor, right?

Tommy: Fuck, Dr. K. Doctor of what? Does it say?

Mason: No, I'm not sure. Well, remember Princeton University as well.

Josh: Well, it's at Princeton in Dr. K. Do you go to Princeton University? Dr. K, can you send us more details please? Yeah, because the thing is that you could, um, for instance, are there TAFEs at Oxford? Yeah, Oxford.

Tommy: No, I think Princeton you'd need to get into. Status.

Josh: No, no, no, no, no. What I'm saying is Princeton is a city. He looked that— No, 7. Dr. K literally said you would have to Google it. But Princeton is a location.

Alex: Okay.

Josh: And so there is— And Dr. K said there are smart people in Princeton. Doesn't necessarily mean that they go to Princeton College.

Tommy: Yeah. See, that's where I went to. They're at Princeton. Like, there's a lot of smart people at Princeton. Yeah, at the university.

Josh: And so that's why I think there's a distinction there, maybe. So maybe you're a, um, yeah, maybe you live in Princeton but you go to the arts centre, like you're a medical doctor or a— Yeah, let us know, Dr.

Tommy: In Psycho.

Josh: You can help me out with my ingrown toenail.

Tommy: Or if you're—

Mason: Oh, is that still happening?

Tommy: Well, we don't need an update, Mr. Nicen.

Josh: It's actually no pain at the moment.

Tommy: No pain. Um, so yeah, thank you, appreciate that email.

Josh: Uh, any other emails?

Mason: Yeah, we got a message from Grace.

Tommy: Uh-huh.

Mason: Gronks, any chances of a live stream for episode 500? Won't be able to make it over to Melbourne as I'll have exams, but would love to pretend I am via live stream.

Josh: And I mean, Grace is based in WA as well, so that would have been an epic effort.

Mason: I know.

Tommy: Oh, that's huge.

Mason: Yeah, yeah.

Josh: Anyway, what's your point?

Mason: It's a big effort coming from WA to Melbourne.

Josh: Yeah, but I think we're worth it.

Alex: She's passionate about it. Like, I was relatively passionate about going to Las Vegas and I was like, oh, this is a bit too much money.

Josh: Yeah, that's for another podcast.

Tommy: So what you're saying is, Grace, find the cash.

Josh: No, Grace has exams, exams. So find the cash and pay someone else to do your exam. I know that you're trying it, you're reining in already. We went to AU79, the venue.

Tommy: Yeah, so we've locked in the venue for our 500th episode.

Josh: It's at AU79, which is just on Nicholson Street in Abbotsford.

Tommy: Yeah, awesome. Such a cool venue.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: And big function area out the back. So it looks great. It's going to look so great. So we've locked that in and we're going to release a link that will mean that you can reserve a ticket.

Josh: Limited, limited amount of tickets.

Tommy: Limited tickets. It is free, but you need to make sure you get in, which will give you more details as of next week.

Josh: Yeah, but it will be on the— if you want to put it in the cowl, Yeah, for now, the 29th of October. That's a Tuesday.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: And we'll be like kickoff at like 6:30 or something.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah. 6:37, just after people—

Josh: we're going to actually do a live show.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: So yeah, we will livestream. But Tommy was pushing back. He's been pushing back on a lot today. Air conditioning, not allowed to have the aircon on. Literally, I was trying to do some work. He's like, oh, well, it's too cold for me. So I just had to take my laptop and go into a cooler area of the office.

Tommy: That's good initiative.

Josh: Isn't it? I didn't have all my facilities to be able to do all the work I need to do.

Tommy: That's procrastination. Yeah, well, finding any excuse.

Josh: I mean, I just, I would love to.

Tommy: Did you do any work?

Josh: Uh, man, the time flew. By the time I got down here, there's a funny joke.

Tommy: It was a funny joke.

Josh: By who?

Alex: You.

Tommy: There's a funny joke.

Josh: There was no joke there. Anyway, it's a daily talk show. Uh, be like Dr. Kate. Kay, uh, leave us an email at hi@thedailytalkshow.com.

Mason: Am I doing my one review? Oh yeah, one, one fact from LA.

Josh: Oh yeah, one fact.

Mason: Yeah, great. It's illegal to drive down Hollywood Boulevard with more than 2,000 sheep.

Tommy: More than 2,000 sheep?

Josh: Yep. That's a good, good— You happy with that one today?

Tommy: Yeah, dude, I don't know where sheep would live in Los Angeles. Like, it's desert, right?

Josh: What's the difference? Why do you say Los Angeles?

Tommy: Los Angeles. Los Angeles.

Josh: I say Los Angeles.

Tommy: Yeah, I don't know what—

Alex: Los Angeles. Los Angeles.

Tommy: Yeah, I say Los Angeles.

Josh: You say Los Angeles?

Mason: I just say LA because it's easier than saying— picking either one of the two.

Tommy: Yeah, I don't— Los Angeles. I don't think I say Los Angeles much.

Josh: Yeah, you always say— that's all you say.

Tommy: I don't say LA. Yeah, no, I don't say LA from now on.

Josh: But I just want to know what is it.

Tommy: No, no, yeah, I mean, I don't Yeah, I say LA as well.

Josh: Whenever you do, don't do LA, Los Angeles.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, I know.

Mason: What do you say, Josh?

Josh: Los Angeles. Los Angeles, which I think is maybe more— I think Los Angeles, I remember, I think that must be an Australian thing. I remember Osher Ginsberg, um, back in the day when he was live from LA. What was that called? Do you remember he did that?

Tommy: Hot Hits Live.

Josh: Yeah, Hot Hits Live from LA. Yeah, Andrew G. And so, and he would say Los Angeles, Los Angeles.

Tommy: But I always was curious, what about if you put it into one of those automated, like, how do you say these words or whatever?

Josh: If you just type in Los Angeles and then feed it through the, the mixer, press the, the, the speaker button on the bottom right.

Tommy: Los Angeles.

Josh: This could go either way.

Tommy: I reckon they'll go with how you say Josh.

Mason: Are we going with the YouTube video?

Josh: Okay.

Alex: Pronounce names.com.

Josh: Okay, good plug.

Tommy: Fucking asshole's got to plug it.

Josh: Los Angeles.

Tommy: Los Angeles.

Josh: Who's that guy?

Mason: Los Angeles.

Tommy: Los Angeles.

Josh: Perfect. All right, there you go.

Tommy: Who's that?

Mason: Bob?

Tommy: What's his name? Anyway, thank you.

Josh: I wonder if, um, I reckon— I don't know if this is ridiculous or not, I just had a moment, uh, with all the YouTube copyright stuff people would be able to— they'll be able to see that this clip is on their YouTube, like through the Content ID discovery thing. If you play something through YouTube and it's identical, they'll actually be— so we might even—

Tommy: but I interrupted, so there's audio of me saying, oh, there's a bloody plug for you. So it's not the same, it's broken up with our speaking on it.

Mason: Yeah, that's a good point.

Tommy: I broke it.

Josh: I wonder what happens. I wonder if we'll get a I mean, when it's—

Tommy: they can take all our revenue off that video, so yeah, all that shitload of that money. Dude, you're talking to the guy that's used fucking Justin Bieber song in a video. You— nothing happens.

Josh: You did that?

Tommy: I did that. I've done it. I've done early days. I was loose as fuck. It's not going to do anything. Um, Alex, do you accept, uh, the formal position of the Daily Talk Show Baker?

Alex: I accept. One condition.

Josh: Oh, one.

Alex: Sorry, mate. Just give me time. Just, you gotta give me time, being the fact that, you know, I do commute most, most days. I just need time to figure it out, to get the ingredients and stuff.

Tommy: Can you start at 9 every day?

Josh: That's a no. All right, I'm off to have this bowl. Anything else nice?

Mason: Are there any left?

Tommy: Can I have one?

Josh: Yeah, there's like— are you kidding me? There's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Tommy: I want to say—

Josh: and then that's it.

Alex: Make sure there was 4 each.

Josh: Oh great. Oh, 4. Josh just had like 8.

Alex: Yeah.

Tommy: Um, can I— can we save them for Fat Fridays?

Alex: Yes, just put them back in the fridge and they're perfect.

Tommy: Okay.

Alex: Because they're basically just biscuits and condensed milk and a little bit of butter.

Mason: Are they the Arnotts biscuits?

Alex: Yes.

Tommy: Oh, unbelievable. What if we start giving you budgets too? We don't want you to have to be spending your own money.

Josh: We can give you some cash.

Tommy: We can start giving you baking budgets. That's sick. Baking budgets. I'll wire you some cash money. You just make sure you send me the receipts, or I can reimburse you if you pay, and then I'll reimburse. Receipts, receipts, make sure you send receipts.

Alex: Yeah, like when it comes to my baking, the best ingredient is always the best. Like I go to Lindt Chocolate sometimes, and because they have like 80% dark chocolate on special, which is the best, so I'll just like stock up on those.

Tommy: Yeah, amazing.

Mason: And if this was a job interview, you know, you'd have a job, pass with flying colors.

Tommy: Yeah, teach Mason something.

Alex: The other day at work, one of the guys literally wanted to know how I bake, and I was like, what do you mean? He's like, oh, how do you do it? And I'm like, so I get the sugar and the butter and I put it in a pan. And like, everyone was laughing, but he was fully interested. He's like, I want baking lessons from you. I'm like, this is not gonna work.

Josh: There's no oven in this though.

Alex: No, there is one, because it's just time management and all that. Uh, yeah, I can always teach people.

Josh: Great, maybe there could be a segment.

Tommy: Yeah, we do a masterclass, Baking with Alex.

Josh: Yeah, a little— maybe could we get Mario from Nando's as well?

Tommy: So how we'll split up the room is we'll get—

Josh: anyway, all right, before we go, temper the room. Uh, no, what I am curious about—

Tommy: it's cold as fuck.

Josh: No, I was thinking, I nearly— yeah, before when you, um, like, because I was being a sook because you said I wanted to turn the aircon on, you said no. I said, I was just doing it because it would help me with my work. Yeah.

Tommy: And then I said, I do turn it on, and then you're like, you know what, turn it on, I'll just have a jumper, turn it back on.

Josh: And I was like, nah, nah, nah, it's fine, you've already said I'm unplugging my laptop to go do nothing downstairs. And, um, I was actually, uh, I ended up running out of time, but I was going to go— I was Googling legal temperature of an office or ideal temperature for an office, and I was going to go to I was thinking AusPost probably had one, but just a thermometer, sort of, what's like a thing that you measure temperature?

Alex: Thermometer. Yeah.

Josh: Yeah, I want to know, we should keep a track. I think like, let's not, you know, argue about whether it's hot or cold. Let's just, I think it was 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mason: Yeah, 70 to 73, which is 21 to 24. 22.

Alex: Yeah, we've had like my work, it was like serious drama because everybody was like, 22 degrees, it's freezing in here. And then everyone's like, no, it's too hot in here. And like we had like the air conditioner man in like every week to the point we like knew who he was because there was like so much drama with the aircon. So ours is on 22 and it does not change.

Josh: Yeah, it's interesting.

Tommy: No, 22 is fine because it's on cool setting, right? And so it's spitting out constant 22-degree conditioned air. Yeah, so the room right now is definitely cooler than 22. No, I went and changed it to 22, around 22.

Josh: This is 22.

Tommy: No, no, I reckon this is 22 degrees and upstairs is 30.

Josh: I'm being serious.

Tommy: I'm talking about on the actual controller. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm in the room would be 17 or something.

Alex: Why?

Josh: But what's the point of having the control at 24? It's gonna spit to 17.

Tommy: No, no, no, no, because you might— you—

Mason: the room, if you were doing the temperature right, you turn the thing up to like 28, but the room's still at 12 degrees, so your controller's saying 12, so you don't know what it's set to.

Tommy: They're not— it's not a third— that's not a thermostat right now, so that's not going to turn off when it hits 22. Like, my heating at home is a thermostat, so it actually pushes it and it's reading it somewhere and then drops it and then—

Josh: so this doesn't know when it hits. No, if it's been spitting out 23 to 20, what did you say?

Tommy: It was on 17 for fucking ages. No, that's why it's so cold.

Josh: Wait, no, but so if it was on—

Mason: I don't think it was on.

Tommy: I reckon this, um, temperature gauge is a good investment.

Josh: Yeah, I think we need it. Well, I'll do that next. I'll do that today. All right, I'll do that.

Mason: I got one at home.

Josh: No, I'll go get one.

Tommy: Uh, the CFO.

Josh: No, no, no.

Tommy: Okay, CFO says no.

Josh: All right, CFO says no.

Tommy: There's no need to purchase.

Josh: You want that to be the title? I feel like you said it twice because you want it to be the the title. What do you want the title to be? Josh bombed. What have you got?

Mason: How hot's the room?

Josh: Temperature of the room? Yeah, sure. Temperature of the room. Okay. All right, it's a daily talk show, uh, hi@thedailytalkshow.com.
