Questions this episode answers
What costumes did Tommy and Josh wear to the West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval?
Tommy wore a black tuxedo morph suit without the hood/headwear, while Josh wore what he called a 'dorky,' baggy full skeleton costume.
What is the trick-or-treating age cutoff according to a local at the West Hollywood carnival?
A vox-pop interviewee dressed as Shazam said no one trick-or-treats after about age 10, but going out drinking and partying for Halloween as an adult is 'timeless.'

Episode TranscriptShow
George: The Daily Talk Show.
Josh: It's a Daily Talk Show episode 503, and we're not in the studio.
Tommy: We are in Los Angeles.
Josh: Yeah, Santa Monica Boulevard. Uh, we are staying in West Hollywood.
Tommy: This is the first episode on our Los Angeles trip, and it's Halloween, so that's why we're at this carnival which runs for a couple of street blocks. And we got told, uh, from our mate PK that this is the place to be. Yeah, and dude, right behind this. You can't see it, but there is a guy with a massive snake, like a yellow snake. It's real.
Josh: Yeah, I mean, I feel super pavo in my outfit.
Tommy: We did last, like, literally that we went past a— what is it, like a costume shop or a—
Josh: it was like a Savers, an op shop.
Tommy: It was like an op shop and they sell, and they sell costumes and they were doing 70% off.
Josh: But the question is, why do you and Mr. 97 get the sexy costumes and I've got the real dorky one?
Tommy: All right, so if you're not watching this, which you should, go to our YouTube. So I'm wearing a tuxedo. It's a tuxedo onesie. What are they called again? They are morph suit. Morph suit. So it's like the morph suit without the head, without the sort of, you know, the headwear. Yeah. So anyway, I'm wearing that.
Josh: You sort of set me up because you picked something and then I picked something and then last minute you went sexy.
Tommy: This is not that sexy. It's just all black.
Josh: You gotta watch the video.
Tommy: It's a tuxedo. Anyway, I feel— can you— it is so— there's so So much marijuana smoke getting blown around this place.
Josh: So we arrived right now. It is 8:05 PM here in LA.
Jess: Yeah.
Josh: And we arrived at 9 in the morning. We went straight to In-N-Out Burger.
Tommy: I mean, big flight. Big flight for the baby.
George: Yeah.
Tommy: How'd you go, baby?
Josh: Oh yeah, for 97. Yeah. A lot of babies here.
Mason: No, I was great. My little time shift sleep app, I think it worked.
Josh: Okay. Oh yeah.
Tommy: Yeah. He's the bloody— What was that word? Circadian rhythm. I've never heard that word more in my life. And you said, oh, your SR. R, and then he said, no, it's a C. It's a C. What's a C? You're MC? No, no, it's spelled with a C.
Josh: And so, um, anyway, I mean, yeah, no, the flight was all good for me.
Tommy: I have got the most chapped lips.
George: Yeah.
Tommy: Oh, they are severe.
Josh: Yeah, it's not, not ideal.
Tommy: And this one, this morph suit, I, I have lip balm that I can't access. I've had to cut a hole in my morph suit so I can use my phone, but my phone's now in my pocket, so yeah, I can't use my phone.
Josh: It's a bit of a nightmare.
Tommy: I went to take a piss and I had to take the whole thing off.
Josh: Those dunnies, what are they called, portaloos? My God, they were— I went in after you, but it wasn't— it had nothing to do with you.
Mason: They—
Josh: it's just a hole in the ground.
Tommy: I just want to say I'm fucking proud of you, mate. Why? Because you're not the— you don't like doing naughty stuff, like you don't like breaking the rules.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: And we're in Hollywood.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: And they have a pretty strict policy about using cameras with tripods.
Josh: Yeah, yeah.
Tommy: And that's exactly what we're doing in the most busy place in Hollywood right now.
Mason: There's a bunch of bunch of cops coming.
Tommy: That's not a uniform.
Josh: But you know what, I feel like— oh yeah, he's got a SWAT. Is it? I don't know if it is that.
Tommy: I don't know if you're right. Turn right. We got some police officers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey guys.
Josh: Um, no, so my thought was— my thought was it sort of looks like a Halloween costume. And if you think about it, there's so many people doing things with, uh, what are they, like wheels and carts.
Tommy: It's like there's buskers everywhere.
Josh: Yeah, this is—
Tommy: what about Westboro Baptist Church up the front.
Josh: I don't actually know if it was, but they were extremely homophobic and screaming and it wasn't very nice. But I thought at first I thought it was a Halloween costume.
Tommy: Me too. But then they were holding a sign that said something about homosexuals. Yeah. And this is the homosexual hub of the world almost.
George: Yeah.
Tommy: And so they've come to the Territory to piss people off. It's pretty gross. And one guy spat onto the guy yelling.
George: Oh really?
Tommy: I mean, it was deserved.
Jess: The guy deserved it.
Mason: Yeah.
Josh: So But so we went straight to In-N-Out. We straight away got into a car, a rental car. And the thing is that In-N-Out has a very small menu.
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: But I assumed that they would have something for vegetarians.
Tommy: I mean, you got weak. You got very weak because as we were leaving the airport, I think you said, "Maybe I just get a..." And you didn't even go further. I just said no.
Josh: Well, no, my idea, what I was thinking, I'm like, there's something so fun about being at In-N-Out. Laying on the grass, watching the planes go by and having a burger. And so I wasn't sure what was going to be available to us. And it turns out that their vegetarian burger is just a burger without the beef patty. And so you're essentially eating a mistake.
Tommy: I'm very glad you didn't crumble and eat meat. Oh my God, there's a guy who has full leathers on and he's actually got a chain that's attached to a woman who's chained up.
Josh: You probably need to— Can you just move for a moment?
George: Just have a look.
Tommy: Yeah, I think you can just see it if you're on the video. This place is out of control.
Josh: It is all happening.
Tommy: I mean, someone's now getting a photo. Oh geez.
Josh: I mean, the thing with being in LA already, I've noticed people are more willing to talk to you when you have a camera. Like, we had the camera and the guy straight away said, "Ah, are you guys vlogging?" And you didn't give him— why didn't you give him much?
Tommy: I had these, which I don't have in now. They were vampire teeth and we bought them earlier, but I didn't really realise you had to have scalding hot water to mould them in. And so I had them over my mouth and I can't talk with them in.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: And so I just was like, yeah. And he's like, what do you do? I said, uh, talk show.
Josh: Yeah, you weren't talking, right?
Tommy: I knew that.
Josh: No, I thought, I thought you were like ignoring him for some reason.
Tommy: No, actually it worked out to be a good reason because you engaged and you said, yeah, yeah, we do this, this. And he was like, I'm a rapper, I'm a rapper.
Josh: It was great.
Tommy: And if in the States— I've never had it happen in Australia— in the States, everyone always get rap that. Yeah, someone's just like, mate, I'm a rapper, I'll fucking— I'll sing you a rap.
Josh: No, I thought it was good. I mean, smell that. Yeah, I can smell the weed. Oh my God, the interesting thing is I feel like we all have annoying versions of ourselves. When do you think I'm most annoying?
Tommy: Uh, I was gonna say hungry. Yeah, but that might be a bit snappy. Tired, maybe when you're really tired and you get a bit silly.
Josh: I reckon you're pretty annoying at costume shops.
Mason: At what?
Tommy: At costume shops?
Josh: Because you You take them up on the 70% offer, 70% off offer. They're closing in 10 minutes and you were shooking about your teeth. You were saying, you didn't tell me. Hey, yeah, it's a podcast. Yeah.
George: What is the podcast? For what is the podcast?
Josh: It's called The Daily Talk Show.
George: Oh my God, my sweet love, you've got to talk louder.
Josh: The Daily Talk Show is what it's called. Who are you dressed up as?
George: I don't know who I'm dressed up as. Alo, because I can't pull off JLo.
Josh: Oh, very good. Can you rap? Can you rap? No, she can't rap.
Tommy: I think she had bum implants. That's why she was referencing— she stuck out her bum, but you can't see her. She was off to the right, but she stuck out her bum when she said the JLo thing, and she had these implants in.
Josh: Yeah. Did you think that— on— so is that guy performing?
Tommy: No, no, I think— no, no, no.
Josh: Uh, so there's, uh, yeah, I mean, there is a— there's a lot going on. What can we actually— if we're to paint the picture for everyone, I I see a guy in a Dole Whip pineapple suit.
Tommy: Oh, there's Karate Kid.
Josh: I see a guy in a police costume, which is great. Pikachu. I see a Wonder Woman.
Tommy: I also see a guy like a Mexican cowboy-esque kind of thing.
Josh: Look at that.
Mason: Can you see the big blow-off thing?
Tommy: What have we got here?
Josh: A tourist with a camera. No, it's good.
Tommy: So you've seen the scooters were a thing. We were going to start riding them in LA.
George: That's what I wanted.
Josh: You rode one actually.
Tommy: Actually at our 500th episode. Andrew, you're a weapon. He brought his scooter along. Oh my God, there's Wally. I found him. Ah, where's Wally?
Josh: Wally!
Tommy: Wally! There we go.
Josh: Yeah, he looks great. Uh, good banter. Good. Um, yeah, no, so you think the, uh, the scooters—
Tommy: Are you gonna ride them? Because you had a little test run.
Josh: I'll have a go. The thing is that I don't want to be on the road, uh, but I worry that the path is dangerous for pedestrians.
Tommy: Oh, it's definitely dangerous either way, but It's more of the question, are you gonna risk it?
Josh: Yeah, maybe. '97, this is a very novel thing for you being in the US the first time.
Mason: Yeah.
Josh: What do you think?
Mason: It's so funny how everything is so American. Like, we walked in to get our rental car and the people working there were the people that you'd expect to be working there. Like, the ads that they had on the wall were the same ads. Everything that they said was like exactly out of like a movie. Movie.
Tommy: Yeah, it's like a cliché almost of how someone would— how they portray Americans is what he's experiencing. But maybe that's just Americans.
Josh: Well, the thing that 97 loves is cultural differences. He talked about it, uh, with our Canadian 3D deal. That was your favourite thing.
Mason: Yeah.
Josh: What are some of the cultural differences that you're noticing so far?
Mason: I don't know, maybe a lot. They've all All the people in like sort of hospitality, they love to have a chat and get around like interacting.
Josh: They're all wanting a tip.
Tommy: Exactly, so the tipping culture is different. Like I was saying when we were at In-N-Out, the people are like kind of singing their orders out, you know, number 82. Yeah, and it's like I couldn't imagine In-N-Out in Australia, just a couple of, mate, 84. Yeah, but maybe it has the same effect when an American comes to Australia when they hear it like that.
Jess: Yeah, 80, 80, 80.
Tommy: Do you, man?
Josh: Do you worry? I mean, I feel like I'm overly sensitive to looking like a tourist. And so we've spoken about this when I was in Europe, I stopped wearing snapback caps. Yeah. For the reason of not wanting to look like a tourist.
Tommy: How are we going today?
Josh: Well, I think I feel like basic bitches because we went to Whole Foods and bought LaCroix. That was the only thing we bought.
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: I mean, I feel like we've had every sort of cliché experience. Debating with the car rental about insurances. That seems sort of like a bit of a rite of passage.
Tommy: We're getting schooled, but we've got another couple of— another week ahead of us. It's, um, oh well.
Josh: Oh, is that a Michelin man?
Tommy: Is that what that's called? Oh no, no, no, a, um, one of those— be careful, someone's in my shot. Someone's just jumping in. This is where it's gonna get a bit of a nightmare. This is okay, this is alright. Oh my god, sorry, we're getting so distracted here.
George: Would you like me to talk?
Tommy: Yeah, you can talk.
Josh: Oh no, well, we're deciding, we're deciding on cars, on what to get. Uh, we had the option of, uh, like a people mover. People mover.
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: And I thought that would be cool. I thought there's something cool about the production unit having a people mover.
Tommy: Nah.
Josh: But you were saying that it was going to be too much of an issue to park.
Tommy: Mate, we don't have 8 kids.
Josh: Yeah, there's something nice about it. Reminds me, remember the show Cheetahs where the guy would come out at like, it'd be in a people mover and they'll zoom around a corner and come out and surprise them?
George: Yeah, yeah.
Tommy: I mean, it's Catch a Predator style.
Josh: Yeah, exactly.
Tommy: Or some other various films that may have been done in Hollywood.
Josh: And so what are you looking forward to doing that we haven't yet done?
Tommy: I'm surprised we're not all as ruined as we could have been from that flight.
George: Yeah.
Josh: Do you feel like from a flying point of view you are more stressed about potentially not getting sleep than—
Tommy: No, definitely not. I don't stress about that. I just like the right seat.
George: Okay.
Josh: I just like—
Tommy: and when it works worked out really well. We got every— all of us got a spare seat between us. Yeah, which was amazing. But no, I don't stress out about not sleeping. It's a 14-hour flight. You're not in a bed. Yeah, not in a bed. So I'm not going to worry about that. Okay, so there's Mario and Luigi.
Josh: For people who haven't been following us on Instagram, we've been posting all our Insta stories, and, uh, we were lucky enough to get Mr. 97. We had to pay, but we got Mr. 97 into the lounge. Yeah, you, uh, you had your little, uh, avocado on toast.
Tommy: You pancakes.
George: Yep.
Josh: What'd you think of the whole experience?
Mason: That's great.
Josh: Was it not as good as your— I know that your dad flies Qantas.
Mason: No, it's great. It's a great experience. I mean, the food was great.
Tommy: Okay, well, tomorrow is his birthday, uh, and we're gonna—
Josh: well, in Australia it's his birthday, right? The 1st of November is Mr. 97's birthday.
Tommy: So happy birthday for Australia. But, um, and please, if you're watching the Insta Live, send some happy birthday love. Tomorrow will also be his birthday here in America, so we're gonna give him a, you know, give of a fun day.
Josh: Yeah, I mean, I feel like travel, there's a lot around food and what we're going to eat and things like that. Yeah, when it comes to breakfast tomorrow, what are we thinking?
Tommy: I don't know.
Josh: No, seriously, like, what do you— what time are we going to get up?
Tommy: I want to get up and go for a run. Yeah, do something. We're gonna do some kind of exercise. Are you coming, JoJo?
Josh: Yeah, I'll come. Well, that was the thing, you like to exclude me by saying, Mason, we're gonna go to the— you're gonna do some exercise, and then you realise that I'm standing there, you're like, oh, oh, what about What about you, JJ?
George: Are you going to come?
Josh: And you guys are wearing your skin-tight sexy uniforms and I'm here with my fucking baggy skeleton costume. Fuck off, Sid.
Tommy: We can get you in this one. That'll be alright.
Josh: Yeah, okay. Alright, good. And so, you know, what do we think? Are we going to go sort of the traditional American breakfast, like a side of pancakes?
Tommy: No, I reckon we go full ba— Oh no, it's actually, he's going to tell us what's going to happen because it's his birthday. You can do what you want when it's your birthday. What do you want, mate?
Mason: Something fresh would be nice.
Tommy: Okay, nah, that's just too much work.
Josh: What did you say?
Tommy: Too much—
Mason: Fresh.
Tommy: Fresh.
George: Fresh.
Josh: Like what?
Mason: Well, not like pancakes or cereal.
George: Like fruit.
Tommy: Fresh pancakes?
George: Nah.
Mason: I said a smoothie would be great.
Tommy: A smoothie. Smoothie.
Mason: God.
Tommy: Like, he drinks smoothies every single day at home, and he just— Baby wants a smoothie. Actually, it's his birthday. Let's give it to him.
Josh: When you go to the US, I feel like a few years ago, you'd definitely go and buy a bunch of shit. What were the things that you had to buy when you were in the US?
Tommy: Other than food?
Josh: As in, what about like, so for me I'd buy shoes or I'd buy like lots of little random, random things that I'd only do when I was in the US.
Tommy: God, I mean for me it was—
Josh: did you bring like— I used to buy Brie, all of this junk.
Tommy: Yeah, I mean I'm not into that shit. I want to explore this time. I want to actually go for like, because we got a car, yeah, we can actually go for a drive. So we can go late at night, we can go exploring in the Hollywood Hills, we can go cheque out— go celebrity spotting for Mason because he loves celeb culture. He's so about that.
Josh: Do you— what do you think of my driving so far?
Mason: It's been great.
Tommy: We've survived. It's been— yeah, it's been great. Yeah, I mean, it's a weird fucking thing doing it on the other side.
Josh: Yeah, I think that it's like the— just the headfuck of being on the wrong side of the road and turning left. The only thing— the turning left.
George: Yeah, that's an absolute night—
Mason: like, I've I panic every time you do it because it just, it just feels so weird.
Josh: The funny thing about this, where we are right now, if this was in Melbourne, I wouldn't— 100% wouldn't be coming to this event.
Tommy: What would you be?
Josh: What? I would 100% not come to this event if it was in Melbourne.
Tommy: Yeah. And so that— yeah, that's the thing about travel though.
Josh: Yeah, it brings out this sort of other side.
Tommy: You think we'd do this at Moomba?
Josh: No, absolutely not.
Tommy: But maybe we should.
Josh: Yeah, maybe. That's what I always walk away with.
Tommy: Do you reckon we're the first podcast to ever do it on this street in front in front of a snake? Like, let's— I wouldn't be surprised.
Josh: Should we try and vox pop some people, or is that—
Tommy: I reckon we try and get someone on camera. We need someone interesting.
Josh: Why don't I hold the microphone for a second and you go and try and do that?
Tommy: All right. Okay. There actually isn't anyone interesting just yet to come past. All right. I'm seeing— Is that Superman? Superman? Iron Man?
Josh: It's definitely not Superman.
Tommy: It's definitely not Superman.
Josh: Shazam! Do you want to come and have a chat on the podcast?
Jess: Okay. Shazam!
George: Hey, dude. How are you?
Josh: We're from Australia. Whereabouts are you from?
Jess: Right here in LA.
Josh: Okay, amazing. So we have just arrived this morning. We're from Melbourne. This is our podcast, The Daily Talk Show. Who are you dressed up as now?
Jess: I am Shazam, as you can tell here with this light-up chest. I can charge your camera equipment if you'd like. Really?
Josh: I actually thought there might have been USB.
Tommy: We were just talking about living in Melbourne where we are, right? We don't really go to the big events because I don't know, as a local it's just like, ah, that bloody Festival's on. Is it different for all the people who live here in LA for this festival?
Jess: Yeah, it's kind of a, um, it's kind of a rite of passing coming to West Hollywood. A lot of people don't know about it, kind of shy away from it because they hear West Hollywood, it's like, I don't know if it's for me. But once you come down here and actually experience it, it's kind of life-changing. It's like you wouldn't go anywhere else for Halloween after coming here, I think.
Tommy: This is crazy. So what do you, what do you look out for here? What do you, what should you—
Jess: there's definitely a lot to see. If you're into people watching, it's the place to come. You'll see a lot of intriguing costumes, a lot of things. Like, people are very imaginative here in West Hollywood, as you can tell.
Tommy: I just saw a guy holding a woman who was chained up, and she was chained to him, and they were both pretty much naked.
Jess: So that's like— that's normal? That's like the mildest thing you'll see here.
Tommy: Really?
Jess: You'll see a lot of crazy stuff. You just wait until it gets a little later, people start having a few drinks in them.
Josh: Yeah. What's the age in regards to, uh, trick-or-treating? I'm, uh, I'm 29, Tommy's 31. Are we too old to trick-or-treat?
Jess: Absolutely. So no one trick-or-treats after the age of like 10, but going out and having glass and partying like these blokes, um, that's, that's timeless.
Josh: Awesome, thanks so much, mate. Awesome, have a good one, dude.
Tommy: Appreciate it.
Josh: There we go, good. Love a good live box pop. Wow, aren't they good in LA? They just, they put it on, they get right into it, mate. I reckon you could ask any, any single person and they would give you a top quality.
Tommy: I want to find someone with a serious costume.
Josh: Yeah, seriously, if you had time to actually think about it, what costume would you have gone?
Tommy: God, there's camera crew coming, camera crew. Oh, this is I thought he was going to do Inception. Yeah, what would I go? I think Chucky. Like, I was thinking I wish I had time to get some kind of like makeup, makeup where they use the thing and like make it look like your face is fully cut open. Yeah, I reckon I'd go all out with a face paint.
Josh: I think I would avoid makeup completely.
Mason: I mean, yeah, it'd be a nightmare to put on and get rid of.
Tommy: Baby doesn't want it on his face.
Josh: Just imagine the Airbnb and just having colour all over the pillows.
Tommy: Oh my God, we had a, um, come forward a bit because we had a, um, a hotel party in Melbourne when I was 16, 17 at the Crown Casino, and this guy rocked up. I didn't even invite him. Yeah, someone else invited him and we'd hide it, and he had red hair that he'd been at some party and they'd sprayed everyone's hair red. And then he got into the bed and was making out with this girl. Yeah, and his hair just completely covered the pillow, the white crisp white pillow, got into the doona. We had to end up— we had to pay.
Josh: Yeah, it's not right.
Tommy: They fucking couldn't clean the thing.
Mason: Did you, uh—
Tommy: disgusting. It's fucking wrong.
Josh: So, uh, Gronkh parent move: Bodhi, uh, had a Halloween event at daycare, uh, and you said everyone looked really cute, and I said, what did Bodhi come as?
Tommy: No, look, the amount of— the amount of things, uh, football day, oh, it's this day, it's that day, fucking Halloween, dress him up like a little reindeer. They send this shit out. Yeah, I don't— we don't have time. I think when he gets a bit older— he doesn't know yet, so he doesn't understand that he's the odd one out. No, he wouldn't. He'd just be like, I want you, I want your top, give it to me. Like, they're just trying to steal shit off each other.
Josh: Yeah, sure.
Tommy: So anyway, he's, uh, maybe one day, maybe one day we'll get him into Halloween.
Josh: I've not— have you noticed on Instagram that there's been more people posting about Halloween than normal in Melbourne?
Tommy: Yeah, well, I mean, it's a time for people to wear less clothes and get some content for their Insta. Like, I mean, don't we all need content?
Josh: But it also seems like parents with younger kids are starting to go as well.
Tommy: But maybe it's just people— the parents are seeing the content opportunity.
Josh: I was very surprised by the idea that 10 years old is the oldest for trick-or-treating.
Tommy: So, I mean, I was doing it older than 10.
Josh: Yeah, I think I was like, at 10 I wouldn't have been allowed to go.
Tommy: I told you. So I didn't— my— I didn't— I didn't really have a— I had a grandma, but she had dementia, so she was in bed for the whole entire life that I was around. Yeah, my life.
Josh: And so the lady next door—
Tommy: yeah, the woman down the street where we used to pretend it was Halloween a couple of times a year. Yeah, she definitely— she must have been on to us. She'd say, oh, come in, guys, and she'd give us a little biscuit. Oh yes, here we go.
Josh: Oh, what have we got here? That is a, um, a full— is that a bumblebee? Bee, by the looks of it.
Tommy: Someone wearing big wings. What do we think? Oh, you don't No, see, the problem with coming to an event like this is if they're in a really, really cool costume, you think that they're going to charge you for a photo. You go, you pull out your phone, you go, photo, photo, photo. Then they say a few dollars.
Josh: Well, there was a guy who said vasectomy is $5 and you were— you thought it was great. You went up. But the thing is, if he has $5, he's going to do some sort of shtick and then he's going to expect a $5 note.
Tommy: Yeah. Oh, is that the Pope?
Josh: Yeah, I think so. I think it's definitely something to do to do with, uh, being Catholic?
Tommy: I, I'm just so stimulated.
Josh: Like, yeah, I mean, '97, are you a little bit overwhelmed?
Tommy: How are you feeling?
Mason: Yeah, oh, it's like just visually, visually, visibly, and all the people here, it's just, yeah, yeah.
Josh: Well, I saw you before, you were doing a bit of heavy breathing or whatever. Yeah, yeah, the thing is, yeah, it's not— these things aren't that comfortable. Is it, is it appealing for people that don't drink? When they get good people watching, good people watching, I guess.
Tommy: Yeah, you can just launch into it. I think it's great. Yeah, great people watching, just walking along. Like, I reckon we'll spend another half an hour after this. Yeah, it's not long at all. Look behind you. Look behind you. Oh, it's a bear. Is that a teddy bear?
Josh: Like a full-blown bear. Wowee. He's very hairy naturally.
Tommy: Maybe we need to go and ask him to come have an interview.
Josh: It's going to be hard to have an interview. Maybe. Should we try? George, can you be the one that tries to get an interview?
George: Yeah, we've got to wait. All right.
Josh: I reckon So we're just looking around right now. The guy with the 97, anyone in Instagram commenting?
Mason: Kroger says, boys looking awesome.
Josh: Thanks, Kroger.
Mason: Lynn Jansen says happy birthday, 97.
Tommy: Thank you, Lynn Jansen. Thank you.
Mason: Dr. K says happy birthday, 97.
Tommy: Hey, Dr. K. The birthday love's piling in.
Mason: The feed's buffering a little bit.
Josh: What was that?
Mason: The feed is buffering a little bit.
Josh: Okay, the feed's buffering a little bit.
Tommy: Sorry about that, guys.
Josh: It We are in the middle of a street. I reckon we try and get one final vox pop.
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: And then we can say goodbye. I want to leave that to you.
Tommy: Yeah, I would love to get the guy with the snake.
Josh: That's going to be too hard, I reckon. It's going to cost us too much cash.
Tommy: I reckon he's going to—
Josh: Yeah, I'll hold this.
Tommy: I reckon he's going to—
Josh: And you can ask.
Tommy: Okay.
Josh: All right, here we go.
Mason: He's going.
Josh: How outrageous is Tommy?
Mason: Oh, I know. Surely he's not going to— How many things did he ask?
Josh: So When we were at the lounge, he was telling you, telling the people it was your birthday so they'd bring you out special things.
George: Yeah.
Mason: What about Tommy and the sparkling water?
Tommy: Oh.
Mason: Just running up to it, just grabbing bottles.
Josh: I'm just trying to think of the other. Yeah, there's been many, many a time. I mean, changing seats before we'd even taken off.
Mason: Yeah. Can I have a window seat?
Josh: Yeah. Oh, that's right. There was, he was even before we even like, you know, we were checking in. Yeah. He was straight onto like, I'm very, whatever we're given, It's fine. TJ likes to say, what else have you got? Is there better options?
Mason: Yeah, it's pretty full on.
Josh: Yeah, it's good to have one of us like that. I'm happy not to necessarily— It's great because you and I can sit back and just let him do it and just watch and we can sort of shake our head a little bit so they can see and be like, oh, you know, but when it pays off, it's great. Yeah, we, we get the rewards.
George: Yeah.
Josh: How's it going?
Tommy: That's actually a much harder job than you think. No, the problem is I'm going up to people and I don't have a microphone.
George: You have no—
Tommy: You have to make a judgement of whether they're going to be good talent. No, they're actually okay.
Josh: Okay.
Tommy: Because there's a few really tweaked people here.
Josh: Yeah, sure.
Tommy: That are out of control.
Josh: I reckon.
Tommy: Okay. So I don't want to be— here's a good flock of people.
Josh: Okay. I'm feeling good about this. I'm feeling good about this. All right, here we go.
George: Right here, right here.
Tommy: Here we go. Oh, here we go. Right here, right here.
Josh: All right. See, the problem is we're getting a lot of people. Bird there. Nah, we're not.
George: Sorry.
Josh: People want us to be from the news. Thank you.
Tommy: Thank you.
Josh: Thanks, man.
Tommy: Oh, thanks, man. He was doing me.
Josh: No, no, no. Bit of both.
Tommy: No, now he thinks I was ignoring him. I think he was saying my costume.
Josh: Catch you, mate.
Tommy: My costume was good. No, I think he was saying mine.
Josh: No, I think he was saying my costume was good. Anyway, let's get one last person. Come on, we've got to get one.
Tommy: Yeah, who can we get?
Josh: There's a lot of people taking photos. Isn't it funny that one camera and people get very excited?
George: Doesn't take much, does it?
Tommy: There's now people taking photos of our camera. So there's just—
George: Yeah, people—
Josh: And wear the costume. Yeah, apparently that's what's happening right now. Is it? Alright, we're just looking around.
Tommy: You really want one more?
Josh: I want one more, yeah. Really push the boundaries. Tommy, it'll be worth it.
Tommy: Okay, so there's a big marshmallow.
Josh: So it says— What does it say? Something puffed?
Tommy: Puff the Marshmallow.
Josh: For the audio experience, this is probably—
George: Nah, I reckon—
Tommy: I reckon we, uh, you reckon we're done? We wrap it up.
Josh: Okay. All right. Okay. Well, it's the Daily Talk Show. Uh, Naysibs, do we have any emails or no? Do we not want to worry about emails?
Tommy: Yeah, we'll do that.
Mason: We'll do okay.
Josh: Probably a little bit hectic.
Tommy: That's your birthday.
Josh: Oh my God, I think I'm a bit high.
Tommy: We're gonna get serious. Extremely. Baby, close your mouth. Close your mouth.

Josh: Yeah, it sounds legit.
Tommy: I'll say it.
