Josh Loves Christmas

Tommy: The Daily Talk Show. It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 545.

Josh: It's Fat Fridays and it's Friday the 13th, you animals. Not that I know what that means.

Tommy: You've got something under your top.

Josh: I mean, I was just looking in the camera, it kind of looks— you don't really tell when you're wearing black, can you?

Tommy: No, no, no, you can.

Josh: This is why I know you, why you love black. Yeah, because it's just, it conceals you.

Tommy: Definitely.

Josh: Anyway, I've got a few things. It's Friday, um, these two things you can expect to see on Christmas Day, if you celebrate Christmas.

Tommy: Perfect. Because I actually, '97, called you to get something.

Josh: Yes.

Tommy: And I heard you say, I've thought of something. And then I actually was yelling out saying, can it be Christmas related?

Josh: Oh, great. Well, this thing, favorites.

Mason: If you don't know what to bring, if you've been told not to bring a thing. What to bring when you're told not to bring a thing.

Josh: Yeah, it's, it's, that was a great marketing ad. So there's like, um, Cabri, Australian brand, just flogging it.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And, um, how many times have you said that to somebody that, oh, when you didn't really—

Tommy: yeah, but how, like, uh, what do you actually think if someone brings favorites?

Josh: Oh, absolute fuckwit. No, no, no, no, no, I've brought them before. Anyway, I want to, um, what I want to do is explore our mate Bruno Bushi— uh, Bruno Bushi— King Bruno. Bruno the King.

Tommy: The King List. Boucher.

Josh: Bruno Boucher.

Tommy: I've never actually said—

Mason: I reckon it's Boucher.

Josh: Yeah, to be honest, that was the first time I said it out loud. I look at it and I say it in my mind.

Tommy: I called him Bashir.

Josh: No, but I say it in my mind perfectly. Do you remember when I say it out loud?

Tommy: Was Bashir the name— Can you look up the journalist who did the exposé on Michael Jackson?

Josh: Oh, yes. The old school one.

Tommy: Yeah, the British dude. And I feel like his last name was Bashir.

Mason: Bashir.

Josh: Bashir.

Mason: Martin Bashir.

Josh: Anyway, Bruno Bruno Boucher, no relation to that bloke. But what he does is the Lisk King. That's who he is.

Tommy: Because the fact that you said you were like, now I've got something. It's a little bit of stimulus, but don't expect much. Oh, there's a huge amount. We can spend a whole episode talking about this.

Josh: So Bruno, the Lisk King, has been on, been on the telly here in Australia. He basically creates, they're almost like tiers and he takes products. So one of them, i.e., chocolate, and then puts the different types of chocolates into the different tiers. And so what I want to do is go through the favourites and pull out— they're not all in his list, but he did do one around chocolate and some of these fit into it.

Tommy: And I haven't seen that list, so this is perfect.

Josh: So firstly, I want you to just pull out, Josh, the one you want. It's not the one you think you should get, it's the one that you would actually love.

Mason: Your favorite.

Josh: It's your favorite. And then I'll get my favourite and then we can see where they fit. In Bruno's List. Anyway, the other thing I, I've got, I've got one more box. Ah, um, oh great, the Festive Bon Bons. What I thought was we could just, Josh and I could crack a few and we can, uh, give you a heads up on the shitty jokes that you'll expect from—

Tommy: Is this premature? What are you gonna do on Christmas?

Josh: No, no, no, there'll be other ones, but I've—

Mason: Yeah, well, I was gonna do that. We can do them again, it's always fun.

Josh: Yeah, we can hold off.

Tommy: No, no, we'll do it. I did them today, so I picked out my top.

Josh: Okay, I'll, I'll pick out what I just— I actually like, what I would want to eat. I'm going to pull them out. Um, oh fuck yeah, got it. I've chosen the Boost. Like, I don't think these are super, super popular, but I fucking love them. Boost, they've got the crunchiness, they've got the caramel. Uh, it's all good. I fucking love it.

Tommy: I've gone for the Moro.

Josh: The Moro, which is— Firstly, can we just like, what, what is— what does my choice say about me in your eyes? And then I'll tell you what your choice says about you.

Tommy: You're a basic bitch. Definitely.

Mason: No, I get that. Yeah, no, I get that.

Tommy: It's like, like you couldn't go more, dude.

Josh: What are you, 70, eating your Moro? Like, oh, I didn't want to spend too much, I didn't want to get a Mars bar. Yeah, I want to get a Moro.

Mason: Pavo Mars bar.

Josh: Yeah, that's 70-year-old bloke that's still on the pension. Nothing wrong with being on the pension, but he's just fucking struck, mate. If you're on the pension and you're, and you're living off the pension entirely, in its entirety, entirety, entirety, it's a fucking tough life. You should have gone hard on yourself.

Tommy: I wouldn't think that there'd be a big difference between Boost and a Moro bar in the cost.

Josh: I'm just fucking—

Tommy: so the thing It's— do you know what the interesting thing is between the Boost and the Moro that I guess— no, no, I was going to say that they were more aggressive with the not for individual sale. Yeah, I've always found that interesting, the not for individual sale.

Josh: Oh yeah, that's any— anything that comes in a pack that you buy in a pack from the supermarket.

Tommy: Who's individually selling these?

Josh: Dude, like swimming centers, those kind of places.

Tommy: What would you pay for an individual— no, he says, what would you pay for this?

Josh: That size? Moro bar?

Tommy: Yeah, what would you guys pay for any of these?

Josh: Less than full size though? Are you saying for like a— these are snack size.

Tommy: I feel like it would be 20 cents.

Mason: I was about to say I wouldn't pay more than 20 cents.

Josh: Nah, they would charge— what they would charge you is fucking 80 of some bullshit from—

Tommy: what, 80?

Josh: I reckon they're charging you some fucking— at a swim centre you can get a, uh, Freddo Frog for a dollar, but you can't buy these at the supermarket. My point is where you get them is where they're stinging you. And so you're paying through the nose. Anyway, it is interesting because I would say that both of these choices are on that Bogan spectrum. Like they are a couple of Bogan chocolates.

Tommy: When I did, when I discovered Moro, so you could only get them in. I've told this storey many times.

Josh: You're also found the dentures on that same day.

Tommy: Do you remember the storey of the Moro bar? No, no. Do you really not remember? I probably haven't.

Josh: I've heard every storey twice. But I've forgot this one, so I want to hear it again.

Tommy: I've definitely said this storey multiple times. So, anyway, the Moro is a New Zealand chocolate.

Josh: I thought you're going to say the morrow of the story.

Tommy: No, that's funny. No, the Moro bar is a New Zealand chocolate, but they are in these favourites. And so, you actually see Moro bars sometimes in that sort of international section of the supermarket alongside the Jet planes or whatever.

Mason: Jet planes are the best.

Tommy: Yeah. Anyway.

Josh: New Zealand food?

Tommy: Yes. Yeah. So anyway, they, my dad had a friend that was going to New Zealand and so he brought back an esky full of Moro bars. And so then I took all my undies out of my undie drawer and I laid them out. And so there would have been probably 50 Moro bars, like full size.

Mason: Fuck.

Tommy: And I laid them all out and I would just have one at a time. Every night I would have a Moro bar.

Josh: And so you're an indulgent little motherfucker.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: So it's because I get it. It's all— it's so cool to be able to pull your drawer.

Tommy: It's like bars of gold. Yeah, it did feel like that. It's so funny.

Mason: How long did it take you to eat them all? If you're doing one, I don't know, because I think you're doing one a night.

Tommy: We definitely—

Josh: that's why, that's why. Yeah, it's a little smartass. Yeah, you said one a day, so work it out. How many days did you have? Because you had one a day, but it'd be interesting.

Tommy: But the other thing was It's funny how things don't really change. Like when I was at the radio station, Coles was downstairs and I went to Coles and they had Moro bars for a dollar. And so I went and took the whole box, like the point of sale box.

Josh: Like with how much you think about food now and like a specific— you must have not given a fuck about what I was eating. Yeah, because you're pretty like you're on to it. You feel the guilt as well when you're eating something. So You mustn't have given a fuck.

Tommy: Yeah, no, it was pretty loose.

Mason: Um, can I just say, the ones that you picked, they're not even on the list.

Josh: Really? Then he didn't even include them on there? No, it's because they're, they're absolute scumbag lollies. So the other thing is, if, if I just pick out a few now, just do rapid fire because I reckon I know some of them that are on the list. Okay, um, and then tell me where they place. And so can you just first tell me from like top, the good tier, down to the bottom tier. What are the names? What does Bruno LisKing put them down as?

Mason: Number 1, picnic.

Josh: No, no, no, no, no, no, silly boy.

Tommy: What are they called?

Mason: So, so, so, so, so, this is God tier.

Josh: Yeah.

Mason: Royalty tier.

Josh: Yeah.

Mason: Adam Sandler tier.

Josh: Yes.

Mason: Take it or leave it. Pleb tier. Would rather eat a bucket. Of cat vomit tier.

Josh: Okay, so that's the real shitty ones, and then you've got the top ones. All right, Turkish Delight, where does that fit?

Tommy: There'll be cat vomit, but I put that as a god tier.

Mason: It's in the god tier.

Josh: Is it? You were right. Your guts told you wrong.

Tommy: No, you told me you was right.

Josh: Uh, logic was wrong.

Tommy: Yes.

Josh: Yeah, I agree.

Tommy: Dream should be, uh, it's like Dream is pleb. Dream is a white chocolate.

Josh: Yeah, white chocolate. Does that fit in, mate?

Mason: Dream's not on the list.

Josh: Okay, okay, let me add Crunchy. Where does that fit?

Tommy: Adam Sandler.

Mason: Nailed it.

Josh: Yeah, it is one you can take or leave. I would be happy if they left this out, to be honest.

Tommy: You know what would be an absolute bottom of the barrel cat vomit? Violet Crumble.

Josh: Oh, because it's, it's the cheapo version of Crunchy. Okay, um, Cherry Ripe. I reckon that's, um, the second tier from the top.

Mason: Not on the list.

Josh: Ah, fuck, it doesn't even get it on. Um, Picnic. That's— I heard you say that. That's top, top.

Tommy: That's silly. God tier.

Josh: That's actually a little silly.

Tommy: Picnic is like the leftovers of the Snickers.

Josh: This needs to go. Old Gold original chocolate.

Tommy: How do they even make it? I feel like that's a mistake. I'm serious.

Josh: It's fucking shitty chocolate.

Tommy: Dark. Is it some of the worst dark chocolate?

Mason: It's definitely not on the package, right? Does it show it on the package?

Tommy: It doesn't really know.

Josh: Bury the lead. It does on the back though. No, it doesn't. The back— it doesn't lead, so it leads with the front. Is the front's like a—

Tommy: well, I think they're showing what they think the God tiers are.

Josh: Yeah, true. That's a good—

Tommy: the Flake, the Caramello, um, Cadbury, the Picnic, the Cadbury Dream, the Cherry Ripe, and the Crunchy.

Josh: Does Flake make it on there? Take it or leave it in my eyes.

Mason: No.

Tommy: Yeah, Flake is great. Can you still get Flake on ice cream? In ice cream at Macca's? Yeah. Um, add a Flake, 30-cent cone and a Flake.

Mason: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.

Josh: What about Dairy Milk Caramello?

Mason: It doesn't make it, but I'd put it in royalty or god.

Josh: Mate, it is my god. It's my god. It's not— there's nothing better when you find a woman or a partner, in my case my wife, woman, she doesn't rate these. She rates like the dream white chocolate, the old gold. And I don't want none, definitely not. She doesn't like dark chocolate, but she goes hard on the, like, the just the chocolate. What is that?

Tommy: Someone who likes white chocolate? My brother James likes white chocolate.

Josh: Yeah, Amy's big on it.

Tommy: What sort of person likes white chocolate? Bad taste. In all seriousness, when have you ever had white— like, white chocolate for me is always the chocolate that I have if there's nothing left in the house.

Mason: I don't mind the white chocolate.

Josh: People love white chocolate, dude. It's— what I like is white chocolate melted different. It changes it up, dude. Like when you're getting white chocolate drizzled over stuff, changes it up. It's a bit hard, just hard white chocolate. It's, um, no good.

Tommy: But can we try these, um, bonbons?

Josh: Yeah, yeah. So anyway, thanks Bruno.

Tommy: Sorry, I've just had a Moro, a Boost, and an Old Gold.

Josh: That's where's my fucking Boost? Oh, here's heaps. Okay.

Tommy: All right, here we go.

Josh: So let's just, uh, we're just, we're doing a bonbon.

Tommy: It looks like you were already—

Josh: no, I just grabbed it. You might get this. There's, um, it definitely wasn't gonna be you, fat testosterone.

Mason: That was rigged from the start.

Tommy: No, it was. He was doing stuff with these fingers.

Josh: No, the—

Mason: I do another one. Do another one.

Josh: Do another one.

Mason: So you can both read one.

Tommy: There you go. Ready?

Josh: Good idea, mate.

Tommy: All right, great. What, what happened there?

Josh: That's not how you do it.

Tommy: You didn't pull it.

Josh: The old man who ate the maronnelli had a stroke.

Tommy: I'll be honest.

Mason: You have to put your thumb in.

Tommy: So I'll be honest, I was listening to a podcast that Michelle and Zara was on called The Christmas Binge. Yeah. And they had this very same segment where they had the whole bonbons. And I heard, I think it was Zara that grabbed basically the whole thing. And that was her tactic. So I was trying her tactic.

Josh: So I made a video when I was working at KISS and I got like 30 of these. You don't need another one, dude. Um, I did 30, 30 of these and I tested all the methods and found the best way to do it. Can't remember, I'll find the video. But yeah, so go. 3, 2, 1. So I won again. Well, did you?

Tommy: Okay, yeah, I say what because you've got the bitch.

Josh: Okay, so take that.

Tommy: I'll read the joke.

Josh: I'll go first. Uh, question and answer. Why did the turkey cross the road? I mean, when you ask a joke like this, you don't want them to actually fucking answer it. That— why? You never want them to really answer because then it spoils the joke. So ask me why. I wasn't actually answering. I like your inflection there. Because it was the chicken's day off.

Tommy: All right, my one more garbage question. What do you call a lady attached to a washing line?

Josh: What?

Mason: What?

Tommy: Have a guess.

Josh: A lady attached to a washing line. I don't know. Peg. Peg. They could have got Peggy. They could have gone Peggy.

Tommy: Yeah, smelling it. Yeah, interesting.

Mason: Another day on the Bake. That they could.

Tommy: Okay, we'll do one more. What are the gifts that we're getting with them?

Josh: Crap.

Tommy: It's trash.

Josh: Landfill.

Tommy: Let's have a look. Now I'm curious about what— like, this is— oh, is this a comb?

Mason: That's perfect.

Tommy: Here you go.

Josh: There you go. It's a joke.

Tommy: But what's this?

Josh: I don't know.

Tommy: Hair clip?

Josh: No, I think it's like a paper clip.

Tommy: Paper clip. It's a plastic paper clip. All right, can you read out this final joke? Uh, what do you call a lady attached to a— what have you got to be kidding me? It's the same joke. Oh, have you been doing this? No, you gave me the same piece of paper. That was Stitcher. That was such a good Stitcher.

Mason: That was an accidental funny.

Tommy: I don't know if I can read this one. What do you get if you wait to eat Christmas decorations?

Josh: Um, I don't know, what?

Tommy: Tinselitis.

Josh: That's funny. I like that.

Tommy: The other day we got a comment. So, Wayne Peters sent us an email about how upset and angry he was with how people talk about the decade.

Josh: We'd really hit a sore spot for old mate Wayne.

Tommy: He was very upset. Anyway, Wayne has now triggered George because George has commented on YouTube. 97. He was trying to work out where it was from. He's looking in the email. Was that what I was looking at?

Mason: I was actually looking on Instagram.

Josh: I was on YouTube. The thing about the Gronk Squad, they can really trigger each other. And then you've just got an all-in brawl.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Which is what we love.

Tommy: And so what did George say?

Mason: George said, what's Wayne on about? You wouldn't call 1970 still part of the '60s. You're entering into the first year of the new decade like 2000 was entering into the 21st century. If it's your 20th birthday, you have finished 20 years and you are beginning year 21.

Josh: Yeah. So I realise I don't get it. You don't.

Mason: I was trying to work it out while I was reading it.

Josh: Yeah.

Mason: Nightmare.

Tommy: I mean, so Wayne's gripe was that I think we give George and Wayne each their email addresses to each other. I don't think they can use this platform because I don't even— I don't get it at this point. You know what I mean? I mean, it's low level.

Josh: Shit to worry about.

Tommy: I mean, I remember it being a bit of a headfuck thinking about, uh, when a baby— before a baby is 1, they're not 1 yet. Like, yeah.

Josh: And what's even more of a headfuck, which I've forgotten Bodhi's birthdate.

Tommy: He's turned—

Josh: I know he's 3. I know, Feb 14th, Valentine's Day, can't forget that.

Tommy: Is he turning 3?

Josh: He's turning 3 this year. But the thing is, a baby— so we got pregnant in 2015. Yeah, so we got pregnant in 2015. So in my head, he was born— like, the baby was here in 2015 because the baby starts growing and then by Christmas it's here, and then you go into a new year. So it's like, we're on another year, and then he gets born.

Tommy: And so I think people are triggered when you say the 'we were pregnant.' I remember hearing Mum being like, 'Fuck off, that's old school.' Now it's like, if we want equality, it's a 'we' thing.

Josh: I know I didn't do any of the hard work, but I actually— that's like people are saying, is that the woke thing to say? 100%. Why would it? You're not saying— you're not separating it, saying I— it's not saying we did the hard work. I'd never say that. Amy did the hard work. We got pregnant.

Tommy: It's a thing you actually say. Yeah, I know. We got pregnant.

Josh: I know what you mean though. I could imagine Lynn Jansen blowing up. Yeah, bullshit, you didn't do fucking nothing.

Tommy: Yeah. And so there is probably a little bit of that. Can you find out the— because some people definitely, um, I feel like I've heard you say we And people have pushed back.

Josh: No one's pushed back.

Tommy: I've heard one person. Who? I can't remember who it was. You're remembering yourself. It was someone else. Was it Stacy?

Josh: No, it should be.

Tommy: We should be all over it.

Josh: Can we imagine it to be having— we're having—

Tommy: yeah, yeah, the whole community. Yeah, like, I'm probably part of it, dude.

Josh: As soon as Amy gets pregnant again, the Gronk Squad's pregnant.

Tommy: Yeah, we're having a baby.

Josh: We're having another Gronk.

Tommy: What's the deal, 97? Can you look up?

Mason: Yeah, well, okay, so Mila Kunis, she says, all you soon-to-be fathers, stop saying we're pregnant. You are not pregnant. Do you have to squeeze a watermelon-sized person out of your lady hole?

Josh: No.

Tommy: Is that a tweet or where are you— where's Mila writing that? Uh, on her blog?

Mason: I think it was on Jimmy Kimmel.

Josh: Okay, I see how it's funny, like, is there any—

Tommy: no, but I'm just curious about what the actual I don't know which is right or wrong. I could either do— I could do, I'm happy with both. But I did. But it is always funny because when it's like, we, yeah, you could look at it two ways. The way that Lynne Jansen's probably looking at it is, Tommy, you don't have to take credit for everything.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Whereas what you're taking is like, no, this is a shared responsibility.

Josh: Yeah, I can go either way. I just chose to say we in that moment.

Tommy: So I'm not, I'm not saying that you're wrong. I'm, I'm curious, what would you say?

Josh: Um, it's actually, I probably wouldn't have said that when Amy was pregnant. I just reflect on, I mean, fuck, the words I choose to use on a daily basis. No one knows how. I sure don't. Do you know why I choose the words I do?

Tommy: I'm— but this is the thing, I don't think it's right or wrong, but I think it's whenever you say it, it always is jarring in my mind. And so, yeah, did you find anything else '97 on it? No. What's the pro? Like, what is the— what's, uh, the pro of what Tommy's saying?

Mason: Like, there's a whole— there's a whole, um, argument online between two people.

Tommy: What, really? Online?

Josh: That doesn't happen often. Is that George?

Mason: todaysparent.com.

Tommy: Oh mate, Wayne and George.

Josh: Explosive. I get that. Yeah. I mean, I couldn't imagine Amy having a problem with it. She'd just be like, yeah. I mean, this is— yeah, it's so interesting.

Tommy: I mean, it's like we're having a baby.

Josh: The more—

Tommy: so we're having a baby.

Mason: That's what I was thinking.

Tommy: But so we're having a baby when we were pregnant. So having a baby is different to we're pregnant.

Josh: Definitely.

Tommy: Yeah. So you're both having a baby, but you both technically can't be pregnant.

Josh: We're pregnant. So we can't be—

Tommy: hi@thedailytalkshow.com. I think this is a good one for the Grump Squad. Let's get off George and Wayne arguing about what fucking century we're in.

Josh: And let's light a fire over here. Grump Squad.

Tommy: Could you imagine the century chat? If they're having this amount of issues with the decade, I would love to see George and Wayne have a jelly fight at our next— at AU79. Do you reckon we could make that happen?

Josh: I'm sure Lawrence would hook us up.

Tommy: Yeah. Brought to you by Coddies. That'd be good fun.

Josh: Oh, I'd bring the favorites, that's for sure.

Tommy: What do you, uh, what do you watch, um, the night before Christmas?

Josh: Well, Christmas Eve, we're at a time now where we can start sort of creating traditions as a family. Bodie is obsessed with Santa now. It's like he's, he's a chip off the old block. His mum fucking loves Santa. Once we were in, um Kudgie, and they do the Carols by the Sea, and we're walking along and there's Christmas music playing. She's crying. She's, I love Christmas. It was just, she just has this affinity for Christmas that I don't share. I like the, I like the sort of sparkle and the tinsel, you know, it's, it's lovely, but I don't, like, I couldn't give a fuck about presents. No, we're doing Secret Santa this year. Everyone knows who they've got. Everyone knows who's got who. It's not secret. That's not Secret Santa. That's just you've been allocated this.

Tommy: How could you make it fun? Because you've always had an issue with Christmas.

Josh: No, I don't have an issue. Actually, you've got no issue. Like, I— there's no, there's no issue other than I just— the care factor isn't there for something that is so big.

Tommy: You don't care for other people.

Josh: I love, I love, like, um, I love the vibe, but I just— do you like Christmas?

Tommy: Yeah, I do. Yeah, I mean, yeah, but I don't think you do.

Josh: Like, like when you have a partner—

Tommy: don't be so rude.

Josh: When you ever tell me what I like, like someone—

Tommy: no, I fucking, fucking love Christmas.

Mason: Nah, you don't.

Tommy: No, I do.

Mason: There's so much.

Tommy: I said to Bree on Sunday, I said, do you want to go look at the Christmas lights? Would someone who doesn't like Christmas say that?

Josh: Yeah, probably, because I'm not a big fan of Christmas, but I like the Christmas lights. Love the Christmas lights.

Tommy: Give me the argument of why I don't like Christmas.

Josh: Oh, just in comparison to someone like Amy who is in love.

Tommy: Stop comparing me to Amy.

Josh: All right, this is weird.

Mason: Have you got Bree's Christmas presents sorted?

Josh: Have you written one Christmas card? Have you got wrapping paper? Have you done a family mail out? Have you got a photo printed on like your own fucking Christmas card?

Mason: Did you put the tree up?

Josh: Do you have a tree?

Tommy: What you're describing is admin. Christmas? Nah, dude, no, no, no. No, see, that's what you've got. I think that you're focusing too much. Seriously though, too much admin. I like—

Mason: But what else? Lights on your balcony?

Tommy: No, I don't have lights. The— so Christmas for me, letting go on Christmas Day.

Mason: Letting go?

Josh: You mean unbuckling, undoing your top belt?

Tommy: No, but just like, you know, but seriously, I like, like, I'll eat a block of Whittaker's peanut butter.

Josh: Are you gonna cook for Christmas?

Tommy: Um, what are you gonna—

Mason: if you go, are you gonna go to your family?

Tommy: We're going to Bree's mum's family.

Josh: Will you take— like, will you cook something for or bring something other than—

Tommy: so I wouldn't say to Bree, I'm like, what do we bring?

Josh: We can actually just put these back in.

Tommy: We'll probably bring some hay tiger. No, I think, um, no.

Josh: So you put the point in— case in point, you don't like Christmas like a lot of other people enjoy it.

Tommy: 97, do you like Christmas?

Mason: Yeah, I like Christmas.

Tommy: No, you don't.

Josh: There's 4 of us in the room. 4 of us in the room.

Tommy: Campbell doesn't have a mic, but he can put his hand up.

Josh: Who thinks Josh likes Christmas?

Tommy: Okay, my hand's gone.

Josh: He's the only one in the room. So I'm not being a dickhead.

Tommy: So I'm not— oh yeah, it sounded like a bit of a dickhead. Um, no, what I want— why I think I like Christmas is I'm listening to a lot of Michael Bublé. Tick. Covers. Yes. Christmas. All Christmas songs, covers. So I love them because I love covers. Actually, my old next door neighbor, Tommy Faith, I think he's the executive producer for Unearthed Triple J, and he saw I did a post of a LaCroix can that I got.

Josh: Oh yeah.

Tommy: What was that? That's just the door opening. That's random. A LaCroix can.

Josh: Father Christmas.

Tommy: Could you— but anyway.

Josh: Lacorey can't—

Tommy: Yeah, Lacorey can't put it in the background. There was Like A Version. I've been going through listening to all, watching all the Like A Versions on, on YouTube. But so Michael Bublé, that's one thing. The other thing is definitely on Netflix, on Disney Plus, all streaming services. I'm leaning towards Christmas-style movies.

Josh: They are being pushed to us in the feed, like as it is in the top movies. Like, anyway, as a family, I'm starting to— we can build these traditions. And so we're going to watch a Christmas movie, which is what I was getting to, um, on Christmas Eve.

Tommy: What about, uh, so Carols by Candlelight? I normally watch that.

Josh: Oh yeah, yeah, I haven't in years because I don't have a TV, but I've been to them in the Domain. They're fucking— it is a great—

Tommy: in Sydney.

Josh: Yeah, Carols in Carols in the Domain or by the Domain?

Tommy: Yeah, so there's a Channel 7 one, and I think that might have already happened, to be honest.

Josh: I mean, if you're liking Christmas, you're getting to Carols in the Domain at 1 PM, sitting in the hot fucking sun of Sydney and staying there until 11:30 with screaming little rodents.

Tommy: So normally, that's someone who fucking loves Christmas.

Josh: It ain't me. So for me, I don't even know if my wife's at that level.

Tommy: I'll paint the picture of what Christmas is. 25th of December.

Josh: Yeah, great day. It is Christmas Day.

Tommy: Um, wake up in the morning, Bree may have bought me a new collared shirt. I put on the collared shirt. I have a nice pair of shorts.

Josh: Run and Gun?

Tommy: Yes, potentially.

Josh: Yeah, great brand.

Tommy: Uh, And then we go and try and find a coffee shop that's actually open on Christmas Day. A lot more opening now because they're like, well, they do coin, they money, money, dude. But they actually do like, uh, a couple of years ago when Bri and I were living in Abbotsford, there was— it was a bit of a headfuck, to be honest, because, um, Christmas is a time for fighting as well. So Bri and I were fighting because You didn't get her a present? No, no, no. There might have been something around that. But what I remember, no, it was I didn't want to go out. It was very hot.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: And Bri wanted to get coffee. And so, she finally is like, okay, I'm going to go get the coffee. And so, she went and then she comes home like 10 minutes later. I'm like, oh, that was quick. And she's like, we needed coins because it's like this time of year they were doing like gold coin donations or whatever. And she said,, can you go back and pick up our coffee? I said, what, you put through the order? And she said, yeah, they're going to be waiting there for us. I'm like, I don't think they're going to. And so, there was a bit of push back and forth around like, I'm like, I don't want to go back there. They know your face. They don't know mine. Like, there's so many people there. Do I say like the two almond flat whites? Anyway, so, my point is that the Christmas coffee run in the morning, especially being inner city, is a sort of a special thing. Um, being a bit silly when it comes to eating.

Josh: Yeah, I mean, are you— this is just— you do coffee runs daily and you eat silly quite often.

Tommy: I guess the thing is the college shirt. The college shirt's the only thing that's fucking—

Mason: I've never seen you wear a collared shirt, man.

Tommy: I used to— that's all I used to wear.

Josh: Oh, you're wearing a— you're wearing like a shirt and suit tomorrow, aren't you?

Tommy: Oh yeah.

Josh: Can we get a fucking snazzy photo?

Mason: Yeah, definitely.

Josh: I mean, I haven't been in a suit other than the wedding the other, the other week.

Tommy: I'm really hoping that tonight, um, what's the shop that you said?

Josh: Rod and Gun.

Tommy: Rod and Gun. Thank you. I'm hoping that they can come to the party. It is a, it's one of those things where it's like I've said yes to emceeing.

Josh: Yes.

Tommy: Um, and I love doing things for people But then beforehand I'm always like, when the admin— so the thing was, I'm like, okay, it's an isolated time. At the most, admin, I'll have to, uh, prepare some notes, read over some bios.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tommy: But then the formal wear, sort of—

Josh: I know, when you're there you'll enjoy it. That's the thing, it's, it's—

Tommy: if you're— Tori has been telling me, she was telling me every night, she's like, why don't you try your suit on? But she knows that I'm—

Josh: Oh, you've got a suit at home, do you?

Tommy: So that's why I've been trying to like— I know I've been 3 days of calorie counting just to see if I can fit into my suit on. It's all a bit depressing. So anyway, anyway, let's, uh, Rod and Gun. Rod and Gun? Rod and Gun, yeah, in Doncaster. Yeah, hopefully they're gonna hook me up with something. They haven't— The payout—

Josh: They're hooking me up.

Tommy: Has she got back to you? No. Lib got back to you?

Josh: Fucking hooking me up.

Tommy: Do you think it's because I was rude because I asked for a hole? Suit.

Josh: Did you ask for a whole suit? Yeah, they've got a full tailoring section.

Mason: Oh really?

Josh: Yeah, they even do like tailoring within David Jones or Myer.

Tommy: So do I need to, um, if I get a suit, I don't need it tailored, right?

Josh: What? You can get pre-tailored. Yeah, you can get suit, a pre-done suit that will look tailored. It might have it, yeah, it'll be cut, but it won't be—

Mason: it'll just be a little bit fitted. Yeah.

Josh: You want a fitted suit?

Tommy: Yeah. I've got a Ben Sherman suit that I bought 5 years ago, and so I can't remember where I was. Dark gray. Let me finish. Like, dark gray.

Mason: I reckon you'd look great in a blue suit.

Tommy: I think I'd look horrendous.

Mason: Tommy looks great in a blue suit.

Josh: Thanks, mate. Appreciate you.

Tommy: I think it's super, like, blue's in, dude, if you're wanting to know what—

Josh: like, the dark navy blues, they're all in.

Tommy: That's actually— don't think suits are in, to be honest. Not as easy from Rod Gun. Rod Gun.

Josh: Rod Hand Gun. Or from Oscar Hunt, a friend of mine started it. That's where I got my wedding suit. That's the suit you're referring to. There is a— it's a real great experience having a tailored suit. You go back, it's fucking lovely.

Tommy: I had shorts tailored in Bali, actually.

Josh: Yeah, I know.

Tommy: And they, um—

Josh: all right, boys, happy Friday. Happy Friday the 13th. Can you finish off just by telling us what What the fuck is Friday the 13th?

Mason: Because I always say like, ooh, well, so I looked up a Friday the 13th fact.

Josh: Tell me the fact.

Mason: So it's, it's when they put up or revealed the Hollywood sign.

Josh: Really? Yep.

Mason: So they—

Tommy: what does that mean?

Mason: Friday, July 13th, 1923, the LA fact of the day. LA fact: the Hollywood sign was officially christened as a promotional tool for the new housing development in LA.

Josh: Called Hollywood.

Mason: Hollywoodland.

Josh: Hollywoodland.

Tommy: Yeah, they dropped the land.

Mason: They've dropped the land. Fucking good thing the land fell off.

Tommy: Have you got a photo of the land?

Mason: Do you want it?

Tommy: You don't have to show it or anything, just like the sign that says Hollywoodland.

Josh: Uh, and so that relates to the spookiness. What's the spookiness element? Or like, people think it's like the day of 'Oh, Friday the 13th, can't do that.' 13 being the number that's a bit funny, or is that, is that what it relates to? Yeah, he's just found a fact from a, from a Friday that landed on the 13th.

Tommy: Well, there was a lot of hotels, I think, don't have 13 level, level 13, level 13.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, 6, level 6, devil, 666.

Tommy: I don't think so.

Josh: Anyway, uh, there's some of the shitty jokes that you'll expect on Christmas Day if you're in Australia and getting some bonbons.

Tommy: They're doing, um Favourites are doing QR codes. Scan here for fun games and trivia.

Josh: Ooh la la.

Tommy: I don't know, I think that these types of brands should— I don't think they need to bother with apps. Yeah, you know what I mean?

Josh: Imagine how much money.

Tommy: Do you remember McDonald's? Remember the app from the Monopoly? That was— I think it's still on my phone and I need to delete it. But anyway, uh, thank you. See you tomorrow, guys. Have a good one.

Josh: See you guys. Bye.
