Questions this episode answers

Why did Josh and Tommy record a Daily Talk Show episode at an In-N-Out near LAX?

It was a ritual repeat from episode 200, and the final show of their Los Angeles tour, recorded right next to the airport before flying home.

Did Josh stay vegetarian during the LA trip?

He stayed vegetarian for over a month after watching the documentary Game Changers, eating 25+ meatless meals in LA, but ended the streak on this episode with an In-N-Out Double Double burger.

What happened when they tried to ride an electric scooter together like in Titanic?

Tommy planned to recreate a Titanic-style double-ride on a Bird electric scooter with Josh, but the attempt failed due to low battery and nearly caused a collision with some kids, so they postponed a proper attempt.

Mason: The Daily Talk Show.

0:05

Josh: It's a daily talk show and we're in Los Angeles.

0:09

Tommy: We're at In-N-Out, which is right next to the airport. It is the final show of our LA tour and it's our ritual.

0:15

Josh: We did this last time. Last time it was episode 200.

0:18

Tommy: That— yeah, so yeah, we were sitting— where was that? Where is it?

0:22

Mason: Over there, just over there, just behind the tree.

0:24

Tommy: Yeah, we weren't videoing at that point. Is that the right word? We weren't video cameraing, as Lara Bingle says, at that point. So now we actually get the full experience, or you get the full experience if you're watching on YouTube. Yeah, you can see these ginormous jets. I mean, most people wouldn't think to do a podcast here based on the noise, but we don't give a fuck. We're not most people, we're Gronks.

0:46

Josh: And given it's our LA trip of firsts, we did the edibles for the first time, 97 and I got drunk. Yeah, for the first time.

0:56

Tommy: White girl wasted.

0:57

Josh: Yeah, what else? Thanks, Tully. Other firsts? Oh, there, thanks, Tully. Any other firsts?

1:01

Mason: Did you, I mean, you probably tried 40 different foods for the first time.

1:06

Tommy: Yeah, it was the first time we're going to IHOP. I mean, you and I, Josh, have been here a few times now. I've never— I'd never done edibles before we came here.

1:14

Josh: Oh really? In the way that it wasn't packaged and delivered and all that sort of thing?

1:19

Tommy: So you knew what was in it? I just cooked it and ate it.

1:22

Josh: So anyway, this In-N-Out, if you're in Los Angeles, you got to come here. It's right next to LAX. It's a perfect— oh, you got the hats! Did you have to ask?

1:32

Tommy: Obviously I had to ask for the hats. I mean, so the first day the day we got here, uh, we got given these hats and then, um, they got a bit dirty.

1:41

Mason: I stood on them.

1:42

Tommy: Mason stood on them. Okay, let's put on our hats.

1:46

Josh: There we go.

1:49

Tommy: So these are like chef's hats that the In-N-Out staff wear.

1:52

Josh: They look great.

1:54

Tommy: They look so good.

1:55

Josh: Really good.

1:55

Tommy: Can you see In-N-Out? Can you— let's turn it to the front. Can you see In-N-Out on the front of my hat? No, no, no, you just got palm trees. Am I good?

2:02

Josh: Thank you. Do I need to fix mine or is it okay? Oh, yours has a severe coffee stain.

2:07

Tommy: Yeah, I know.

2:08

Josh: That's fine.

2:08

Mason: Oh, that's so annoying.

2:09

Josh: No, it's okay.

2:11

Tommy: It's karma for stepping on the other one.

2:12

Josh: Anyway, so In-N-Out, we actually went here on our first day in LA. I had their vegetarian option.

2:20

Tommy: Oh, you— yeah, you did, which was a salad sandwich.

2:23

Josh: Yeah.

2:24

Tommy: Crocker? Who put it out?

2:25

Josh: A sad salad sandwich. I think Crocker pointed that out. Anyway. It has been a really good month, over a month of me eating vegetarian.

2:36

Tommy: Mate, it's a solid effort. You watched the documentary Game Changers on Netflix. Was it the day after or was it a couple of days off?

2:42

Josh: The day of. The day of. Oh, 97 is tearing the bag like an animal, animal style. But, uh, it's gone full animal style on it. So they say In-N-Out's proud to support local schools, charities that help strengthen the communities we serve.

2:56

Tommy: To be honest, I've never read anything on the packages of In-N-Out because I've just been raving Do you know what time, what year in and out was?

3:04

Mason: 1922.

3:05

Josh: No, 1948.

3:07

Tommy: Oh, 1948.

3:08

Josh: It's my mother's birthday.

3:09

Tommy: My mother was born in 1948. Great year. Okay, so what I've done, and the reason you're talking about the vegetarian stuff is because fast forward to the end of our trip, different vibe that you're feeling.

3:23

Josh: Well, so the reason why I did it was mainly for health, but also just to try, to try it, to give it a go. We've got a bunch of friends that are vegetarian and I just wanted to do it as a bit of a challenge.

3:36

Tommy: But right now I'm handing you over. Thank you. This is under your directive.

3:41

Josh: Yeah.

3:41

Tommy: Not mine.

3:42

Josh: So, let's see. So, we were here, we've had—

3:45

Mason: Oh, thank you.

3:46

Josh: 25+ meals while we've been here. I haven't had one piece of meat. You were saying, I think you should just keep going with this. But I've decided My mum keeps messaging me and saying, "Eat meat!" That's all she says. She doesn't say I love you. She doesn't— "Eat beef in ya!" She doesn't ask how I am. All she says is, "Eat meat!" And so, here we go. Here we go. This is— it's been a while. I hope I'm not triggering anyone. I understand— so what I've learned from this whole experience—

4:19

Tommy: Yeah, what have you learned?

4:20

Josh: I've learned that I'm gonna eat less meat. I'm not gonna have meat with every single meal.

4:24

Mason: Yeah, maybe let's do 3 times a week.

4:26

Tommy: Yeah, doesn't have to be meat and 3 veg every meal.

4:29

Josh: Exactly. So now here we go. This is—

4:32

Mason: cheers!

4:33

Tommy: Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! Cheers! Cheers!

4:35

Josh: Cheers!

4:35

Tommy: Cheers!

4:35

Josh: All right, this is a Double Double from In-N-Out.

4:38

Mason: What a way to go.

4:39

Josh: What a way to go. What are you planning? What a way to go. What a way to go.

4:44

Tommy: Your last meal before we get on the plane.

4:46

Josh: Okay, here we go. I'm gonna have to put my mic down.

4:48

Mason: Yeah, do you want me to hold it? I can hold it.

4:49

Josh: Oh, okay. No, that's fine.

4:51

Tommy: I just had my burger upside down. I wanted to get the Double Double at the front here that it says. I mean, think about the branding of a chain like In-N-Out. For some reason, it feels like it's iconic. But what has made it iconic? Has the brand itself become iconic, or is it the time of the, like, the brand design, like the branding? Is that Because, you know, it's like start— I want to make a dive bar. The dive bar has to be there for 30 years before it looks like it's a dive bar, or can you just design it to be a dive bar? What do you think?

5:30

Josh: Um, oh, bit my tongue. Um, do you reckon I'm gonna shit my pants on the flight?

5:37

Tommy: If anything, it'll be the opposite.

5:39

Josh: Um, I mean, brand, brand doesn't happen overnight. But it will happen. Yeah, so I think it takes 61 years. Yeah, it takes, it takes a long time.

5:53

Tommy: What did you say?

5:53

Mason: 61 years, I think. 19—

5:56

Tommy: I thought you'd finally revealed that you learned something from 6 months of your marketing course. 61 years is the, you know, the stuff about like You need, I don't know how many it is, you need 6 references or moments where someone interacts with your brand before it sticks, before they memorize. Did you know any of these stats? I'm always impressed with people who can remember this kind of stuff.

6:24

Mason: No, I don't remember any of that. But you heard that? It sounds familiar, yeah.

6:28

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, or, or it's not, or it's just one, one time.

6:32

Josh: What do you think, 97 of In-N-Out? Does it live up to the hype?

6:42

Mason: Um, no, probably not.

6:44

Tommy: It doesn't?

6:44

Mason: No, I don't reckon.

6:45

Josh: What a way to go. No, I get it, I get it.

6:50

Mason: No, I mean, everyone from Australia, like, everyone's obsessed with it. Like, you think it's just the best. You hear that it's like the best thing in the world, but it's— I don't know, it's sort of like, um, Betty's Burgers. Oh yeah, I enjoyed Betty's Burgers probably more than this.

7:11

Tommy: But then what about brands like Supreme? Is it really that great? Yeah, like, is it worth lining up? We've seen— we saw a Supreme line on Fairfax in West Hollywood that was like 200 metres and thick. Like, I was thinking, you— if you're in that line, you are— you have cash to spend otherwise. Why would you wait in the line? But is Supreme that great? So when you wear it— all hype. Yeah, it's all hype. So maybe is it okay to be all hype?

7:43

Josh: I guess so, people are buying. Um, the, uh, the trip, we've had a bunch of guest chats. Do you have any standout moments through the trip?

7:55

Tommy: I really love meeting Mimi and Alex Icon. Um, it's, uh, Yeah, just let that one pass. No, but I love meeting them. The way a lot of these chats have come about is on the ground and I mean hustling. It's, it's, I don't think we call ourselves hustlers, but no, we also like to make shit happen.

8:22

Josh: So we hustle.

8:23

Tommy: Yeah, you wanted Alex on and, and I thought, oh, that's awesome. And so you took care of the sort of DMs and stuff and they made it happen.

8:31

Josh: And so the thing was initially I was like, I want, it'd be great to have Alex and Mimi on. Alex is like, ah, don't think Mimi's going to be available. Anyway, we rock up to where they're staying. Mimi opens the door and she looks very confused. We have all of our camera equipment.

8:48

Tommy: I was behind you and I saw her confused face.

8:51

Mason: Yeah.

8:51

Tommy: And then I saw you sort of come in and I couldn't see your hand reaching out to shake her hand.

8:56

Josh: Yeah.

8:56

Tommy: I thought you were trying to rush the door.

8:58

Josh: Oh, really?

8:59

Tommy: But then I saw the shake.

9:01

Josh: Yeah, so I shook her hand and then—

9:03

Tommy: Her confused face still stayed.

9:04

Josh: Yeah, and Alex was on the phone so he couldn't sort of explain to her what was going on. And then so we explained, oh no, we're doing a podcast, and she was nice enough to come on the show. Yeah. But yeah, it was fun because I also love that all the people we meet who live in LA, people like your primary school best mate, Rhys, but then you've also got the people who, like Tully, or even Alex and Mimi, who don't live in LA, it just so happens we've caught them at the time. Ryan Shelton, same thing.

9:35

Tommy: Yeah, there's something special special about connecting with people when you're all out of your habits and rituals and, you know, your safe setting.

9:46

Mason: Yeah.

9:46

Tommy: Because it opens people up a bit more, I think. And so that's the beauty of doing a trip like this. Yeah, we're all open to experience. And that's— half of them have been— love the chat, but it's just a part of the storey that we now have with them.

10:01

Josh: Yeah.

10:01

Tommy: And so from— with Matt D'Avella, we Did a couple of episodes with him, but we also spent time with him and shot a video with him. So it's, yeah, it's been so, so good.

10:12

Josh: What's the first storey you're going to tell your mum when you get home, 97?

10:16

Tommy: Edibles.

10:17

Josh: Yeah?

10:17

Mason: Yeah. Oh yeah, I reckon that's the most interesting one.

10:22

Josh: That was a— what airline's that? A big one. There's a big one? It's a big one.

10:28

Tommy: Big one.

10:29

Mason: I couldn't say what airline. Edibles. Then probably getting drunk.

10:34

Josh: Geez, a lot of around substance.

10:39

Mason: Um, and then probably just escapism. And then probably just talking about all the people, all the awesome people that we had on. There's so much fun.

10:48

Josh: Yeah. Has it made you think about your next holiday when you travel? What's Mr. 97's travel guide? Now that you've, you know, travel hacks.

11:01

Mason: Well, I mean, the first one was I was stressing on the plane, oh, when we came over here, because my cologne didn't have the lid on it, and it's one of those press down on the top of the bottles.

11:12

Josh: I didn't even know you wore cologne.

11:14

Mason: Occasionally.

11:15

Tommy: Yeah, I don't really smell.

11:16

Mason: I haven't smelled it. No, it's not that strong.

11:19

Tommy: So do you wear it?

11:20

Mason: Yeah, a little bit.

11:21

Tommy: What's the point of it if you can't smell it?

11:22

Mason: I don't know, yeah, maybe if you get close.

11:25

Josh: Are you funny about carcinogenics? Like, wouldn't it be like—

11:28

Mason: No, this one's organic.

11:31

Tommy: That's why you can't smell it. It's water.

11:34

Josh: It's rose water.

11:35

Mason: Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but I mean, that was it. I thought it was going to leak on the way here. So I mean, the first travel tip is to make sure it's got a little cap on it so it doesn't come out and then ziplock it in a bag.

11:46

Josh: That's a good travel hack.

11:47

Mason: Yeah. In terms of other things, I reckon go—

11:54

Josh: go hard or go home.

11:57

Mason: I was gonna say go hard. Go hard on the cuisine and all the cultural stuff that's there. I think we were smashing a bunch of Whole Foods and their smoothies, which are great, and their dinners, which are awesome, but I I enjoyed all the Mexican places that we went to.

12:19

Josh: So, you would have done more Mexican potentially?

12:21

Mason: Yeah, I mean more, not specifically Mexican, but just all the different— Oh, that's gonna—

12:26

Josh: That's fine, it's flying away.

12:27

Mason: All the different, yeah, 'cause nothing, I mean, you know, cuisines.

12:32

Josh: I mean, the US, in the US, there is so many Mexican restaurants and they're all amazing. And so, it's definitely one of my favourite things about coming to specifically California. Is the Mexican food.

12:48

Tommy: Yeah, also with spending this close time connecting with people who are doing great stuff is like, it's more clear, even though I knew it was clear before, that everyone's on their own journey and everyone's success looks so different. And so you can take bits of what people are doing and say, I'd really love to I really want to have that in my life, or I really, like, that's not for me. And so, I mean, that's how you work out what's for you, right? By seeing what other people are doing and thinking about how if that was your situation, would it work? Or maybe treat yourself.

13:26

Josh: Zach Sang is a great example. It's like he just built this sort of life for himself in the studio. It's like, it was such an interesting world that we're entering, which is sort of radio, completely rethought. Yeah, that was really cool. Behind us is a promise that you made at the start. Yeah, you're confused. What the fuck is it?

13:48

Tommy: You forgot the promise. I was thinking you're looking over at a plane. Is that a plane?

13:53

Mason: Is that the airport behind?

13:53

Josh: I finished the Seth Godin book. No, no. Could you imagine?

13:57

Tommy: Well, the promise I made, it was just something I really wanted to do, was, um, ride one of these scooters, the electric scooters which are everywhere around Los Angeles. Yeah, and I wanted to ride it and Specifically, I wanted to ride it with you. Great. And recreate a Titanic scene.

14:14

Josh: So how do you want to do it? Do you want to have a ride first on your own and then me on the back?

14:20

Tommy: Yeah, I want to ride it first.

14:21

Josh: Okay.

14:21

Mason: We're using Bird. That's the app.

14:24

Josh: So who's Bird owned by?

14:26

Tommy: Uber?

14:26

Josh: No.

14:27

Mason: No, no, no, it's not Uber. I'm not sure who they're owned by, but there was one just around the corner that I ran off to grab. It was beeping at me the whole time carrying it back.

14:36

Josh: So why was it beeping?

14:38

Tommy: Why?

14:38

Mason: Why was it beeping, mate? Oh, because it— that's the alarm system.

14:43

Josh: Why would the alarm go off? So you didn't pay for it?

14:46

Mason: No, no, no, I picked it up and brought it over here.

14:49

Josh: Without paying for it? Yeah, yeah.

14:51

Tommy: So you stole it? He stole it.

14:52

Mason: Why'd you steal it? Well, because then I'd have to pay. I didn't want to pay.

14:56

Josh: What, so you rather than just getting it and then— how about that rubber smell, by the way? Because you're getting the planes landing. Yeah, drag racing. Drag racing.

15:04

Mason: So, no, because it lasts— yeah, you pay per minute. So every minute we're sitting here, it's like 16 cents, and I don't want to pay for that.

15:10

Tommy: Okay, no, I understand.

15:10

Mason: No, I appreciate that.

15:12

Josh: All right, so we're using your app, by the way. Who's paying for this? Yeah, yeah, is this your mum?

15:17

Mason: Yeah, yeah, sorry, Mum.

15:19

Josh: Thanks, mate.

15:20

Mason: It's on the ING, so it's all good. Um, if we— so the scooter's right there. Yeah, if you want to go up to it. Yeah, I've just hit ride. So if you scan it with— it's got like, it's got a QR on the top of the handlebars, so just go up and scan it. And it should just enable it for you. There's $10 credit in the account, so you should be able to—

15:42

Tommy: Good boy. All right, here we go, guys.

15:44

Josh: All right, so Tommy is just getting up right now. He's approach— he's on the scooter. He's scanning the QR. It's made a beep sound.

15:52

Mason: So the way that you do it is you have to put pressure. You have to put pressure on the actual thing.

15:59

Josh: And now— Okay. All right. Here he goes. All right. He's wearing his In-N-Out hat. Oh, he's reversing.

16:05

Mason: Oh, here we go.

16:05

Josh: And There we go. He's off. He's off. That sound is a Southwest Airlines flight. He's doing it. It doesn't have much speed.

16:15

Mason: No, not much speed on the uphill.

16:18

Josh: Oh, it's got some serious downhill speed. Once you go up the top, you're going to be really quick. Hang on, stand back.

16:23

Mason: Oh my God.

16:25

Josh: Commentate, 97.

16:26

Mason: Okay. Tommy's literally just going around in circles. Oh, here he comes. So you got to, you got to do the Titanic. Alright, so who's— who's— so Josh is— so Josh is on the front right and Tommy's controlling. I see you're— okay, okay. Alright, Josh is hopping on the scooter. Do you know how to use it?

16:48

Tommy: He's, um, he may not have a helmet on, but he does have an in-and-out helmet.

16:51

Mason: Yeah, enough protection.

16:52

Tommy: Chef's hat. That will save most of his life. Or the meat patty that he just ate.

16:57

Mason: Yeah, the protein. Okay, what's going on?

17:00

Tommy: He's got it, he's got it, he's got the hang of it.

17:02

Mason: Oh great, here we go.

17:03

Tommy: Like, as much as he says that he can't do this kind of stuff, He's—

17:06

Mason: he was worried about dying on one of these. He's a natural.

17:09

Tommy: He's a real natural. Anyway, so I wanted to recreate a scene where— and this is the thing, I need to be— oh, there he is. Be careful, son. Okay, all right.

17:21

Mason: Oh, it's front-wheel drive.

17:22

Tommy: Front-wheel drive. Oh yeah, all right, you want to do this?

17:25

Mason: So where are you going to do it? You're going to go behind?

17:27

Tommy: So what I'm going to do is I want to go from down here, I want to go up there, and I want to come up the hill together. Okay, so we need a run-up. So are you able to just commentate?

17:37

Mason: Yeah, yeah, I can commentate. Okay. All right, okay, they're about to hop on the scooter now. Tommy's— oh, okay, are you just gonna walk after him, Josh? Tommy's just going down the, uh, concrete path. Josh is about to hop on the scooter. Tommy's telling me to talk. Alright, here we go. Josh is on the front. Hands out, Josh, hands out! Oh, here we go. Oh, this is cute. There's not enough juice in it. Oh no, this is a nightmare. This is an absolute nightmare. You're gonna have to do it on the concrete. Yeah, yeah, we'll have to do a video afterwards.

18:27

Josh: Oh, that was a nightmare.

18:29

Mason: We nearly lost the chips as well.

18:31

Josh: Tommy nearly hit some kids. Yeah, yeah, hang on, I'm putting my headphones back on. Speed. Okay, that was fun.

18:39

Mason: Uh, cancel it so I'm not building $20.

18:42

Tommy: Uh, no, we'll leave it on. It's— isn't it $5 for 30 minutes?

18:46

Mason: Oh yeah, that's right.

18:47

Josh: We're not gonna do it now, we'll do it after.

18:49

Tommy: Um, Sorry about that. Sometimes it doesn't all go to plan.

18:53

Josh: Well, I think it was okay.

18:54

Mason: It just needed more juice.

18:57

Josh: Do you think— can you imagine people using these in Melbourne?

19:02

Tommy: Yeah, definitely around St.

19:03

Mason: Kilda area, like the beach, instead of bikes.

19:05

Tommy: Yeah, definitely. It's easy. Like, you think about a bike, it's— they're annoying to park, they're big, it's a bit clumsy. These are nice. Like, I mean, who— We rode one at our F500 and that, like, these—

19:20

Josh: Shaun's, that was great, that was very fun.

19:22

Tommy: These things go so far and so, I don't know, I think they're, they're becoming cooler than they once were. Like scooters, I can remember it's like that phase of Razor scooters that went really hard and then they were phased out. They weren't motorized, but just scooter itself.

19:41

Mason: And now the ones with, um, You put the metal down and you have the sparks coming out the back?

19:45

Tommy: No, what's this?

19:47

Mason: The scooters, they had a brake on the end of the scooter and it would drag along the concrete and so you'd send sparks out when you—

19:54

Josh: Far out, you really do live on the edge, dude. So this is the end. It's been a great trip. I feel like— personal growth for everyone. Yeah, I think. I think learning to collaborate, learning to get used to the idea of listening to everyone and all that sort of stuff.

20:21

Tommy: Yeah, for some reason I was thinking— I can't hear myself think right now. I was thinking, I haven't even verbalised this, but I was like, I'm gonna go and see a psychologist.

20:36

Josh: Therapist.

20:36

Tommy: Yeah, like I was thinking, we're speaking to quite a few people that have someone that they speak to about stuff. Ryan Shelton, Reece Mitchell, and I'm sure most of the other people we spoke to, the Americans, anyone who's in America, they love a good chat.

20:52

Josh: A therapist.

20:54

Tommy: But I, yeah, for some reason I feel like I, that's, I had been called to do it. Not, I mean, called No one's told you.

21:03

Josh: But just, but I should do it. Yeah, yeah.

21:05

Tommy: I don't know, that's the piece of growth out of this for me.

21:09

Josh: Yeah. Is it going to change anything in regards to your daily habits that you're going to take on from, you know, the posture of being in the US and the lifestyle and then bringing it home?

21:20

Tommy: Yeah, well, disrupt your current pattern and then you feel like anything is possible. I could throw in this in the morning.

21:27

Josh: Yeah.

21:27

Tommy: And then I do have the Understanding that it's all the other stimulus pulls you back to where, where you found yourself before, but it doesn't have to be like that. Like a routine for a kid or, you know, routine in the morning going to work. Yeah, I think for me, I really want to create the business in the world that I really love being a part of. And so, you know, the inspiring lifestyle that A bunch of people, Matt D'Avella, Mimi and Alex, just to name a few of them. They are living life on their terms, but they've really worked out what life on their terms looks like.

22:09

Josh: Yeah, it's like fully designing their lifestyle. Yeah. But also adding a lot to the world and having a purpose.

22:16

Tommy: Exactly, exactly.

22:17

Josh: So it's not just sitting on a beach.

22:20

Tommy: No, it's doing the stuff that you love every day. And so yeah, I don't know what that looks like specifically, but I definitely want to spend some time thinking about that or writing stuff out.

22:34

Josh: Now, when we get on the flight, what's everyone's strategy going to be? Going to watch movies? You're going to listen to something? You're going to go to sleep?

22:42

Tommy: Yeah, I'm going to stay up for a little bit, have dinner, watch some movies, and then just try and sleep the rest of the way because we arrive quite early. Yeah, yeah, super early.

22:54

Josh: One, one thing with travelling is you end up with all this admin. Everyone got their passports?

22:58

Mason: Yep.

22:59

Josh: Okay, good.

22:59

Tommy: Mine's in the car, so if the car's gone missing—

23:02

Josh: yeah, that's not ideal.

23:02

Tommy: I'm not going home.

23:03

Josh: Uh, but, uh, one of the bits of admin that can come with travelling is souvenirs. I've got a few. I've never been a souvenir guy.

23:12

Tommy: Well, I just got edible— no, not edible balls. Oh, we actually have those. We're gonna throw those out.

23:17

Josh: Yeah, we need to do something with them. I'm sure we can give them to someone, maybe at TSA or something. They'd love them. So I got—

23:25

Tommy: I bought these on the work card and the rest are personal, but these are for you. Oh yeah, which are for the plane.

23:31

Josh: Oh great, thank you.

23:32

Tommy: I got those for you. I appreciate it. I just got a bunch of stuff.

23:34

Josh: These are Justin's dark chocolate.

23:36

Tommy: I just got a bunch of stuff for my wife. It's not what she wanted, but I couldn't find the stuff she wanted.

23:40

Josh: What did she want?

23:41

Tommy: She wanted cookies and cream Kisses.

23:44

Josh: I'm sure we can find them at our next—

23:46

Tommy: Well, I went to two stores, CVS and then a supermarket, and we haven't been to supermarkets other than Whole Foods here. And this supermarket had absolutely everything, but it didn't have the flavours that she wanted.

23:56

Josh: What we could do, so we've still got our rental car and it's nearly 4 o'clock. I'll tell you where we'll find them, at the petrol station. Oh yeah.

24:04

Tommy: Hershey's Gold Kisses.

24:07

Josh: They'll be like white chocolate?

24:07

Tommy: Like caramel style.

24:09

Josh: Oh yeah, naughty. Anyway, they're very naughty. Well, one bit of admin that we do have is Belinda, Gronkh Belinda, asked us to bring back a souvenir.

24:19

Tommy: A souvenir. Yeah.

24:20

Mason: Yeah.

24:20

Josh: And so what are the classic souvenirs? What could we potentially bring back?

24:25

Tommy: Mr. 97's wearing it.

24:26

Josh: The In-N-Out, the coffee-stained In-N-Out.

24:30

Mason: Yeah.

24:30

Josh: Or your t-shirt. Now what could we— I guess we can go to a service station, we can go to LAX, maybe a fridge magnet.

24:38

Tommy: It's so, it's so the last minute thing you do at LAX.

24:43

Josh: Get a fridge magnet. I mean, Bree doesn't even allow magnets on the fridge. But maybe we could, maybe we need to get bulk souvenirs so that if we see gronks in the next few weeks, if they come up to us, if we see them, we can give them a souvenir.

25:00

Tommy: Yeah, I like that.

25:01

Josh: Maybe keyrings. Well, I think if we go to one of the big stores, just get a— what do you feel? Because you were talking about, we said, oh, let's, um, let's get a bunch of snacks and bring them back. What do you think about like LaCroix in checked bags?

25:19

Tommy: I just hope it doesn't blow up.

25:20

Josh: That's what I was wondering. Because if we were to get a whole— because we've got enough room to bring a whole bag of something— could we just get fucking boxes of LaCroix?

25:30

Tommy: You could. It probably— nothing would probably happen. I mean, they've got, they've got, um, they should— cans of drink in the plane, but then cabin pressure? It's like pressurised so maybe the underneath area— oh no! The underneath area has to be... How do they have dogs?!

25:44

Josh: Dogs?! Yeah, nah nah nah it's definitely different section.

25:46

Tommy: Different section!? Well before when we were at the airport on the way here we saw all these dogs getting put onto the plane.

25:54

Josh: Yeah it was full-on. Uh, it's getting very chilly as we finish up here.

26:00

Mason: Look at this stream!

26:01

Josh: So good! Thank you to everyone who for following along, for encouraging us, for all your Insta stories. Thank you to all the guests that we've had.

26:12

Tommy: And all the ones that we missed, that we tried to make happen and we'll make happen again.

26:16

Josh: Well, I think that's the thing, what people don't realise is the Gronks have to do a lot of admin and logistics to try and fill our time with guests.

26:25

Tommy: Yeah, back and forth emails, just, you know, it's All that stuff. I just noticed it like a— looked like a little tornado.

26:33

Josh: It looks like a storm's coming.

26:35

Tommy: I think there's a storm coming.

26:36

Josh: Okay. Alright. Well, it's a Daily Talk Show. If you've got any ideas of where we should go next in the world, where should the Daily Talk Show do a bit of a stint? Los Angeles is obviously a bunch of fun. Could be good to do something in Europe. But yeah, hi@thedailytalkshow.com is the email address if you want to send us an email. If you had a favourite guest, make sure that you share on Instagram and Insta Stories and tag them up as well, 'cause we're all human and we like to know that we're doing all right. And so when, are you trying to get seagulls over here?

27:08

Tommy: Yeah, just a gronk move, just threw a chip.

27:10

Josh: Absolutely not. Anyway, do you wanna end on the bird? Do you wanna take that aside?

27:15

Tommy: Yeah, let her ride off together.

27:16

Josh: Okay, great. Go for it.

27:17

Tommy: All right guys.
