2020 With Amy & Bree

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 568.

Amy: What's happening, guys? What's going on? Weekend banter.

Tommy: Oh yeah, buddy, clap it in, clap it in, buddy.

Josh: As everyone said, my headphones are so loud. I'm just gonna— I don't know whose headphones those were that I just turned down.

Tommy: Special episode, we've got our better halves here and, um, What do you call the kid? Is there a— I mean, you call him your son.

Josh: So if you got a set of better halves, better halves, and then a gift with purchase.

Tommy: Can you say hello, Gronks? What's going on?

Josh: Hello. Can you meow? Can you meow?

Tommy: So we've got Bodhi here as well, my son. This is his first feature on the video podcast because he was on— remember we were at our house?

Josh: That's right.

Tommy: Last year. That was before we'd started recording.

Josh: He couldn't really say anything at that point. Can I have one too, please? Thank you.

Mason: So we've got chocolate and we've got a cheese spread thing.

Tommy: And the baby happening here. Bodhi, don't be shy, just say, what's up, Gronks?

Breana: What's up, Gronks?

Tommy: No, he's actually quite tired because today we've been at Bounce, the trampoline park.

Breana: Oh, we've been there before.

Tommy: Went for a birthday, mate. Far out. I feel old.

Josh: Did you dunk?

Tommy: Nah, I, I, um, so I, I got there, so it was a kid's birthday, they'd put it on.

Josh: Whose party?

Tommy: Clara. And so there's 10, 15 other kids, and the parents are there too. And I started jumping, yeah, and they're like, oh, sorry, you can't be jumping, you have to pay to jump. I was like, what? Hang on, what are you talking about? We're here at a kid's party, what, can't I jump with my kid? They're like, no, you have to pay for a wristband.

Josh: Really?

Breana: Really?

Tommy: I was like, absolutely not. And I jumped a little bit more.

Josh: And then surely, um, does our mate Conspiracy Jimmy, does he print the wristbands? Could you have pulled some up?

Tommy: I probably could have, but, um, what I ended up doing was just— I was just rebelling slightly. Hang on, Mason the babysitter has to step in.

Mason: Bodhi, come here.

Tommy: This is one of those where we can't have Bodhi in the take. Come here, come here. He's just came for the chocolate and now he's, uh, he's leaving.

Josh: He's jumping right near the tripod. That's fine.

Tommy: Yeah, okay.

Josh: I see what he's doing. Oh, this is great. He's, uh, he's running away from Mason. He knows exactly what he's doing.

Tommy: Feel free to manhandle him.

Josh: Yeah, great. Okay, yeah, taser him.

Tommy: So we've got a little setup that we're doing.

Josh: Anyway, sorry, not cat dog, what, cat boy? Cat boy.

Tommy: So they ended up coming up to me. I reckon they spoke because I got told off by two people and I kind of was like, this is a bit silly. We're here for a kid's party. Like, how is it not included that the adults can just jump around with their kids? And so they came up like, here's a pair of socks and a wristband. We've found some, we can give it to you. Oh, that's nice. I reckon they were thankful because then all the kids were chasing me and stacks on. And so they didn't really have to do much because that was—

Josh: So you were almost like, here's a whistle and here's all the guidelines.

Tommy: And so Bodhi, it was so funny. It was so cute because all the kids were jumping on me and Bodhi was jumping and saying, no, he's my special daddy. And he was like pulling kids off and like wanting to, yeah, look after me.

Josh: You're the cool dad. Were you wearing your hat backwards?

Tommy: No, I didn't have my hat. I left my hat at the office.

Breana: He had your cool hair.

Tommy: Oh, he's really in front of the camera.

Josh: That's okay. That's right.

Breana: That's all right. He's fine.

Tommy: Yeah, he's watching the screen.

Josh: But yeah, this is actually funny. I'm really enjoying this.

Breana: Nathan would make a great dad.

Josh: Yeah, he would, wouldn't he?

Tommy: Tully's ovaries would be exploding right now. If she was here. You can turn your mic off, mate.

Josh: Sit down, you little goner.

Tommy: I tell you what, like finding— he's stopped. Oh no, he's having a nap still, but we need to stop it. Yeah, because he won't sleep at night.

Josh: Is it a midday nap? Is that when kids normally have naps?

Amy: Till like about now, which is why he's so ratty.

Josh: And so What does it take for him to go to sleep? Like, if you want to set up a nap time, what does he need?

Tommy: What are they? Michael Jackson's doctor. Just full medication. No, but see, he gets so tired, but he doesn't want to sleep. That's the thing.

Josh: And so I know that feeling.

Tommy: We can't— we're like, we've got to keep him up because then, like, he's— for the last week straight, he's been going to bed at like 9, 10, but he won't go to sleep.

Breana: So you try and put him in— 9, 10 PM?

Amy: Yeah.

Breana: Oh, that's crazy.

Tommy: But you put him into bed at 7, and then he's starting to get— he gets out and then he comes. Yeah, he constantly—

Amy: I just want one more cuddle. I just want some water. I just want to go to the toilet.

Tommy: I just want some cheese.

Josh: Is there anything to do with like a reverse, um, baby monitor? Oh, like a FaceTime so he can see you guys and you can wave?

Tommy: He'd be trying to put Catboy on it or something. I don't know, it'd be— you just don't want to give him the screen.

Josh: You're talking about the whole kids and like being an adult and going somewhere and not being included. Our friend Abby was telling me that when she went to Disneyland, she believes that if you are with a kid, you can go in the fast lane designed for one person. And she would do it constantly.

Amy: Really?

Josh: Because most people, obviously, if you've got a kid, you line up because you got more than two, you can't go in the express line or whatever.

Tommy: And so, the rule is?

Josh: Well, it wasn't a rule, but it's like, who's going to question you sort of thing. She also had a— her son had a wheelchair pass that she got. So they—

Breana: yeah, he had a sore foot.

Josh: Yeah, he had a sore foot. But she did tell him, you've got a sore foot.

Breana: No, he did. No, the storey was he did hurt his foot, but I don't think it was that bad. And then all of a sudden she was like, are you sure? And he was like, oh no, actually, yeah, it's bad.

Tommy: I don't know.

Breana: I don't know the full story.

Tommy: But yeah, I mean, it was legit. You're definitely looking for opportunities to leverage.

Breana: Especially in that place.

Tommy: Disneyland. I mean, yuck.

Breana: Unless you have a FastPass. Even we had the FastPass when we went and it was still crazy.

Tommy: What did you— when did you guys go there?

Breana: We've been to— when did we go?

Josh: We went to Disney World in 2015 and Disneyland in 2013.

Breana: Disneyland was the best thing ever. I loved it. I'd always wanted to go. It was like the park that was created by Walt Disney. It was really good. Disney World.

Josh: It's the Florida one and it's a little bit bigger. They're like, it's a little bit more like they've got Ellen DeGeneres doing like a, like a whole show.

Tommy: Oh, she was there?

Josh: No, but it's like video, but it was like recorded in like the '90s, so it was like, it's a bit weird.

Tommy: And what, when did you, when were you there? What year, Amy?

Amy: I'm bad with years. I'd say maybe let's go with 2012.

Tommy: Great.

Breana: Yeah, Disney World or Disneyland?

Amy: World. Florida.

Josh: So what were you going for? Was it for like with friends or what was the arrangement?

Amy: My auntie took me for my 21st, but I was older than 21, I think 22 or 23.

Josh: Okay.

Amy: Yeah.

Tommy: You travelled the US with your auntie, didn't you?

Amy: Yeah. And a bit of Canada.

Breana: Oh, that's fun.

Amy: It's beautiful. So generous.

Tommy: Can you imagine travelling with your auntie, Josh?

Breana: Helen?

Josh: Yeah. Helen's great.

Breana: Maureen, maybe Helen and Maureen.

Josh: Yeah. I've got a lot of aunties.

Tommy: I'd like— it'd be nice to— so what would that— who would I— that would be me going to Disney with like Carrie. With Carrie? Nah.

Josh: So you don't— no, you don't like Carrie?

Tommy: I love Carrie.

Josh: But you wouldn't travel with her? It would be so weird. What is Carrie like and what do you like?

Tommy: Carrie's a sweetheart. It's my dad's sister. She's similar to my dad, don't you think?

Josh: Loves plants.

Amy: Yeah, gorgeous.

Tommy: She's a social worker. Sweet. Very sweet. But I just couldn't imagine traveling.

Amy: She would have loved the trip with us. We went to like Prince Edward Island, which was where Anne of Green Gables was written and set. And we stayed in the Kindred Spirits Inn and every— like this bed and breakfast. And every night at like 5:00, you came down for supper and they had home-cooked like chocolate chip cookies, which were massive, and tea. And you sat around a fireplace and chatted with all the other people who were staying there. It was like super sweet, but not for everyone.

Tommy: It'd be like now me going with Roo, Rupert, my brother's son. Yeah, I could imagine that. Like, he— how old is he?

Josh: Um, zero?

Tommy: Like a one? Nearly one. How old were you when you went? Like 21, 22. Yeah, so how old will I be when he's 21? I'll be old.

Josh: You'll be like 50.

Tommy: So it would be a similar— oh no, see, my, my auntie was a lot older, so by the time I was 21, she would have been—

Amy: but your aunties that you said that you would go with, do they have kids?

Josh: Kids?

Breana: Yes. Yes. Oh, okay. And one of the aunties is—

Josh: Do I have any aunties that don't have kids?

Tommy: No.

Breana: Something.

Josh: Yeah. One auntie's almost like a grandma in regards to age.

Amy: Right. This auntie that I went with didn't have kids. So she'd kind of like spoil you and like just put everything into—

Josh: That's what Bri and I are planning on being. We want to be the cool auntie and uncle.

Amy: Yeah. So it'd be like you taking like your nieces and nephews. Wouldn't it be amazing?

Josh: I bloody love him.

Breana: Yeah.

Tommy: Strap in for Disneyland, Disney World. Yeah. I mean, maybe you could start off with the Gold Coast. See where it goes.

Breana: I would take him to the Gold Coast.

Josh: I mean, I'm not a theme park guy. I think we're not going there. I don't reckon. Why? I don't think he needs it.

Breana: No, I think he would love it.

Josh: I think like NASA, you're trying to push astronaut stuff on.

Mason: I like to push him as well.

Josh: Oh really? I think that's definitely something that's a bit too auntie and uncle.

Breana: I just thought space books were cool and I just wanted him to learn all about space. So I was just giving him space books. I'm not pushing space on him.

Tommy: Do you reckon kids still think space is as cool as it was? Like, I remember thinking it was so cool.

Josh: Yeah, we're at the time now it's Minecraft.

Tommy: There'd be something.

Breana: My nephew loves dinosaurs.

Josh: Dinosaurs are fascinating, aren't they?

Amy: And how they've just discovered that, like, they had— they were covered in feathers and closer to birds than reptiles.

Josh: What?

Breana: Really?

Josh: When did this come out?

Tommy: Bodhi, can you pull that up?

Josh: News.com.au.

Breana: A couple years—

Amy: like, it's pretty recent that they were feathers. Yeah, covered in feathers.

Tommy: That's—

Josh: they make— that's really big bird from Sesame Street. Well, I think chickens— someone said the other day it's It's like, you know, the sound of a dinosaur. I think it was a meme. Oh, no one's ever heard the sound of a dinosaur. They're making it up.

Tommy: That is so true.

Josh: Yeah, very weird.

Tommy: So Jurassic Park, it's the movies that are doing this stuff. I mean, movies are shaping— we saw an ad for— we watched the DVD last night.

Breana: Oh yeah, DVD.

Tommy: It was— that's old school. And so there was pre-roll ads. And so we watched these pre-roll ads and was for previews of movies. Like it was like Back to the Future box set. Not that it was just like revamping it, but then one of them was like some movie that came out in 2011.

Amy: Land Before Time?

Tommy: Something like that.

Breana: I love that movie.

Tommy: But Back to the Future, like the shoes that they're wearing, like they still had to build in the movie. They still had to build the shoes that could suck in, you know, like, and have the jacket that tightened. Did you see that?

Josh: So they've, they made a version that you could buy. It was like a lot of money. Yeah.

Breana: Oh yeah.

Josh: And it was like, and that was, yeah, it was all motorised or whatever. Very heavy, impractical.

Tommy: I think we did this, Mase, once before, but do it again.

Mason: I've just got the AirPods on Bodhi.

Josh: He's watching Peppa Pig. Oh, great. Make you proud, eh?

Tommy: Great dad. Can you look up what movies predicted an invention in the future? Something like that.

Josh: Yeah, sure. Yeah. Well, I think like a lot of futurists love sci-fi because it does quite a good job of representing Like Altered Carbon.

Amy: That was amazing.

Josh: Did you watch that?

Mason: That's so good.

Amy: I loved it.

Josh: What's it about?

Tommy: Netflix special.

Amy: Dystopian future.

Tommy: So they're, um, they're not a good future.

Amy: Well, it's kind of got good parts.

Josh: That's why I was like, what's the good parts?

Tommy: The concept is cool. They call them sleeves.

Amy: And so your body is a body sleeve.

Tommy: So it's just, it's just a vessel. And then there's these chips that go into the back of your neck. And you can move your chip around so you can live for a long time. You can go from body to body to body.

Amy: Like we're all iPhones.

Josh: Sort of thing, essentially.

Amy: But the weird thing is that like we were watching it at one point and Tommy's like, why don't like, because you can, the only way that you can really kill somebody is by destroying that chip. He's like, why is everyone not wearing like neck things to protect?

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah, attach it to your bike. Um, Amy, what was the highlight of 2019 for you?

Amy: Do you want to know something? I was in the bathroom and I was thinking of it. What's Josh going to ask me? He's going to ask me what what the highlight of my year is.

Tommy: Oh yeah, no, that's because she's extrapolated from the common question, what's the highlight of your day?

Amy: Yeah, yeah.

Josh: And now it gets very—

Tommy: the second question that he does, what's the highlight?

Josh: I've got a follow-up, but I want to know that to start with from both you and Bri. Highlight of your year 2019, now that we're in 2020. We—

Amy: yeah, wow, crazy.

Tommy: Good that you pre-thought it. Um, so you have— should have a good answer.

Breana: It's—

Amy: well, it's a bit— I was thinking it is a very boring answer, but it is honest. I think with with all of the work that you've been putting into yourself.

Tommy: You can't give me the highlight.

Josh: I'm definitely—

Amy: No, but I think that from you not drinking, meditating every day, exercising, and really working on yourself, it's really benefited our relationship. And I think I've really been a highlight. Yeah, I think our relationship has been a real highlight this year.

Tommy: Um, I was gonna clap. Now one for you.

Josh: I mean, that's a big one. That's a big one.

Breana: That's a great one.

Tommy: Yeah, but it's still a compliment for me. I don't—

Amy: yeah, which I actually didn't want to do.

Tommy: What's a selfish—

Amy: I really like my job. I'm really happy that I feel like it's been a long time since I've found— like, I've liked a lot of jobs that I've had, but it's been a long time since I've gone to— since I've gone— walked into a workplace and it felt like, oh, I could stay here for a while, for a really long time.

Josh: No one using the sandwich presses to cook rotten fish?

Amy: No, this is actually that workplace.

Josh: Oh, is that the same one? Things improved.

Tommy: Yeah, that's right.

Josh: Is that person still there?

Amy: They are. And every time they use the sandwich press, you think of it? Yeah, yeah.

Josh: Are they still cooking fish?

Amy: He slowly worked it back into rotation.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Okay.

Breana: Well, rotten fish.

Amy: That happened and the office smelled for like 3 days, but it was an accident, right? Yeah.

Breana: Oh, how do you know?

Josh: I probably wouldn't know either. I like that. So your job and then also Tommy and all of his improvements. What about you, Bri? Don't feel like you have to mention me now. The previous year was a good one for me, so I did that. My improvement was last year.

Breana: Um, okay, there's a couple of things. The first thing would be, um, professionally, I love my job. It's exhausting, but it's— we work for a startup. It's a chocolate company called Hey Tiger. Get around it. I'm sure some people already know about it.

Josh: Can we put an affiliate link or something? Yeah, sure.

Breana: Yeah.

Josh: Can people get it? Can we give a discount? Can we do a discount? Seriously? Or no? A free minibar?

Breana: Yeah, we're almost out of chocolate.

Josh: Okay, sure.

Breana: So Christmas has gone really well.

Josh: Use a shameless promo.

Breana: So for me, there's been a lot of growth. And I think there's that thing where you sort of feel like you've got that imposter sort of syndrome and that you can't do it. And I think this year has been a lot of proof that I can do it. And I've got a really good team and we've really supported each other. We're still really small, but we've achieved a lot. Another thing would be I did a marketing course. And that was for 8 weeks, and that was really good and challenging. And a lot of it was putting yourself out there and having really open discussions. And in the final week, we had to do a presentation, and that took a lot for me to sort of speak publicly and confidently. So that was another thing. And then I think the last thing would be routine, like just getting back. Like, we travelled for 4 months together last year, um, and we're staying at Josh's parents when we got home, which we were super grateful for. And then we moved out in— was it March?

Josh: Yeah, of 2019 or whatever.

Tommy: You were still living there in 2019?

Josh: Yeah, isn't it crazy? That's why it's like outrageous to think of like how much I hated that because I'd have to get up at like 5 in the morning and then we'd drive and stuff.

Breana: It was more just the commute. We were so grateful that, you know, so lucky that we had your parents' house to stay at. They were so lovely to have us there and all that sort of thing.

Tommy: Unlimited wagon wheels. Pretty good.

Amy: Yeah, pretty good.

Breana: And Tim Tams. Good.

Josh: But I think like getting back— It's not true, I saw you eat Tim Tams.

Breana: Because they hid it from you.

Tommy: I knew where the Tim Tams were.

Breana: But I think routine for us, like just getting back into a groove. Like I've gone back to my old gym, that's really good. Just being able to walk to work.

Amy: Is F45?

Breana: I'm at Field and Function Abbotsford now.

Tommy: Is Josh's coffee a part of your routine? Like getting him and handing him?

Breana: Oh yes.

Tommy: Is that actually— have you worked that in?

Breana: Yeah, I've worked that in. So I go to the gym at 6 o'clock in the morning, then when I finish at 7, I go by the coffee place on the way home. I get 2 coffees, I bring it home and he's in bed.

Josh: No, I'm not in bed actually though nowadays.

Breana: No, yeah.

Josh: You should see how many we got a, we're on the muscle meal thing. Like that's one of the habits that we're getting into.

Amy: Is it Muscle Chef?

Breana: Yeah.

Josh: Yes. Thank you.

Breana: The one that they do on F45.

Tommy: My Muscle Chef. They sell them.

Josh: Look at how full our fridge is.

Tommy: That's good.

Josh: Isn't that crazy?

Tommy: It looks like a Kwik-E-Mart.

Breana: It's $150 for 20 meals. So that's like a Monday to Friday thing. And they're really good.

Tommy: They sell them. At Bodhi downstairs at Bodhi's old daycare at the Quickie Mart, at the little convenience store.

Josh: They're very delicious. 97U had one the other day.

Mason: Yeah, it was great before the gym. I went, I actually went into YMCA and the bloke that I know there asked him if he could microwave it because they don't have a public microwave. So he took me out back into the staff area.

Josh: And what happened?

Mason: Gave me a fork and gave me a fork.

Josh: Did he microwave the food? Yeah, he microwaved the food. Gave you a fork. It's good quality stuff.

Breana: And then what about you? What was the question?

Tommy: I caught up with Jules last week, Jules Lund, and he was pumped. End of year. He's like, you should write down. He's like, I did this. Spend some time writing down all of your achievements because you don't usually think about it.

Josh: Yeah. Go to Smiggle, get a notepad or your notes on your phone.

Tommy: Yeah, it's nice to write down. On paper, but it's a good one.

Josh: Have you done it yet?

Tommy: No, I've just been thinking about them.

Breana: That's actually a good idea. I should do that because I get by the end of the year, I'm so foggy and I'm not clear on sort of what I've done or what I consider an achievement, like, because it's just been everything feels so full on all the time.

Tommy: It's like getting an apartment for you guys, actually living in your own apartment again.

Breana: Yeah, that's true.

Mason: Yeah.

Breana: Yeah. That was a process.

Josh: I think the consistency thing is definitely like just doing the show regularly and all that sort of thing. Yeah, I think that's—

Tommy: I mean, if we do some collective ones for the show, this office. Yeah. The old office.

Josh: Mr. 97 coming in full time.

Tommy: Mr. 97.

Amy: 500.

Josh: Episode 500.

Tommy: Episode 500.

Josh: LA.

Breana: So good to celebrate.

Tommy: Oh yeah. A live event.

Breana: Yeah. You did that.

Tommy: Making money from the show.

Josh: Yeah, that's good.

Tommy: All these things are—

Josh: When did we get the camera? The C200.

Tommy: Oh, that was only like—

Mason: That was this year.

Josh: That was this year.

Tommy: March or something. We didn't even have a video. Like we had yours from your old business, but we didn't have our own camera.

Mason: Computers.

Josh: The NAS. I mean, I'm going very hardware specific.

Breana: I think it's like, it's like you, you record every single day, which is crazy. Every time I talk to someone about it, they're like, that's massive. You've had 500+ guests in Australia on your podcast.

Tommy: Oh, you can give them a props. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Breana: Amazing. And it's another thing that you guys do really well, I think, which is a compliment. Is that—

Josh: thank you—

Breana: as much as you do research and things like that, you don't really like prepare a whole bunch of questions.

Tommy: She prefaced it with it being a positive. Yeah, yeah, still good.

Breana: Um, and you're able to— it's really good conversation and it's really interesting, and I think that's really good. And you always make people feel welcome and celebrated. Um, and I think another thing for you guys too is also you need to make money as well. So then you're trying to run the video production side of the business, which is really hard because you've got you've got that sort of going, you've got the podcast going, then you've sort of got the branded, trying to do more branded content side of the podcast and monetizing that as well. So I think it's a lot in one year. It's, yeah, it feels like a bloody long year.

Tommy: I think that's, but I think people would be surprised at doing it for themselves that it's a lot in one year. A lot just is whatever it is for you.

Breana: Like just, hang on, and you hired Mason full-time, didn't you? Yeah, we said that.

Amy: Oh, you said that?

Breana: Yeah. That's a big one.

Josh: What about like consumption? I'm thinking about 2020 and the books I want to read. I've seen, Amy, that you've been posting more about podcasts and you love Adam Grant like I do. So much. Has that been good?

Amy: He sounds like he's smiling like the whole time he talks.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. It's almost a nervous tick, but in a good way.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: It's like if you're smiling, you're all good.

Tommy: Can we do that for the next— just like we're smiling?

Josh: There is something in it.

Amy: When you work in customer service, they always tell you if you're on the phone, just smile in your voice, and you do that by smiling.

Tommy: He got told that, hasn't stopped it.

Josh: We should just try for the rest of the episode for fun. I will anyway. Um, and so, uh, no, what do you like about him?

Amy: I, I'm, I'm drawn, I think, a lot to people who do psychology because, like, it's an interest.

Josh: Yeah.

Amy: Um, and organisational psychology is so It's, it's so interesting because like we all work, we all have jobs and just— you're really putting me off with your smile.

Mason: Why?

Tommy: If you close your eyes, close your eyes because then it's listening to me. I can't look at him doing it.

Josh: It's actually something I want. When I was emceeing that event, I realised I can get so in my head that I'm actually not smiling. I don't smile because I'm just trying to get the information across. I made sure to really sort of smile as well. So I think it's a good—

Tommy: it could be a good quality for sure. It kind of sounds like you need to do a poo.

Josh: It sounds like loud sounding, like you're a bit— yeah, maybe a bit strained.

Mason: Is it?

Breana: Actually, Mason smiles a lot.

Josh: Yeah, Mason's got the perfect sort of— yeah, it's— yeah, it's great. He's really great. We love Mason.

Tommy: Big year for him.

Josh: Yeah, very big year. What's been the highlight I'm sure he probably asked you before, but do it again.

Mason: I think episode 500 was probably so much fun. Like, that was— as scary as that was, but sort of emceeing and, and being up there, that's something that I've never done before.

Tommy: 10 more. Number 1, have you guys reel them off? Just real—

Josh: oh yeah, 10 more highlights.

Tommy: Just think about just things you've done, just little things.

Mason: Um, Yeah, I mean, the Shameless dating, LA.

Josh: What about LA?

Tommy: What about LA?

Mason: You know, just going over there and meeting everyone. That was great.

Tommy: Was Tully a highlight or what?

Breana: I mean, you've produced the show.

Amy: Yeah, that's a big one.

Mason: Yeah, doing that every day. It's been great. Airtable.

Josh: I know it's quite boring, but Airtable, it's big, right? Everyone's impressed with Airtable.

Amy: Table.

Mason: Oh yeah, the social media stuff.

Josh: Yeah, actually. Oh yeah, social media. Yeah, you've been smashing that. Thank you.

Tommy: Your hair. Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, the hairstyle as well.

Mason: Yeah, I'm actually considering getting it, getting it done again.

Josh: Your body?

Breana: Not—

Josh: what's going on?

Tommy: Did you lose an AirPod out of your ear?

Mason: Oh no, not the whole thing, maybe just like tips or something.

Tommy: All right, we'll have to have a consultation.

Josh: Go back to Rachel.

Breana: Go back to Rachel.

Amy: Yeah, yeah.

Tommy: All right, so there's a few. It's— I mean, is it hard? Was that hard for you, Mr. 97, to reel those off?

Mason: Um, I mean, when you're holding Bodhi a little bit.

Josh: Yeah, I'm just trying to put the AirPod in his own ear.

Mason: Um, no, but I mean, so much, so much awesome stuff has been happening. And probably, yeah, I mean, I guess like me meeting all of you guys as well, that's been a massive highlight as well.

Josh: Likewise.

Mason: No, I mean, because, um Yeah, I mean, I mean, I wasn't, I wasn't doing too much at the start of the year, so to have more direction and clarity, yeah, that's been a massive highlight.

Josh: What do you think you would be doing? And this isn't, this isn't like trying to sort of say, look at what we've done for you, but what the fuck would you be doing if you weren't doing the show, do you reckon? Like, you know, like, be grandiose about it. Like, if everything went to plan, what would you have been doing?

Mason: I mean, I didn't have much of a plan.

Josh: Probably you're building people's websites.

Mason: Yeah, I wouldn't have— I don't think I would have continued doing that. It would have been too much of a headache.

Josh: Have you stopped this? Because they were paying monthly subscriptions, weren't they?

Mason: Yeah, I've handed that over. I've gotten to who? One of my mates.

Josh: Okay, great. Yeah.

Tommy: Have you told the client?

Mason: Uh, yeah, no, I did. I sent emails over.

Tommy: A handover?

Josh: Yeah, literally. Um, What else would you be doing? Because before you started here full-time, you were working at like a digital agency sometimes doing some—

Mason: Yeah, I probably would have been spread across multiple people and industries, just sort of learning and doing bits of work here and there for them.

Josh: I'm sure, to be honest, someone else would have seen what you could do and you would have been offered some sort of full-time thing.

Tommy: It's a fair bit of work though. Mm-hmm. You know, there's a lot of— I think it's so much about timing. So when you want an internship or you want to be a part of some other people's thing that they've got going on, it won't always happen. And it has to happen at like a right time. It's like when someone says, oh, I just need like a video person, like some young video person. I'm just like, it is, it is like stars aligning to get the right person. When that is, that he's open to working for nothing and creating that relationship. And so it's like, I feel so lucky to have you, mate. I love you.

Mason: Yeah.

Tommy: I mean, I love you guys as well.

Josh: Oh, you did? Yeah, that's nice.

Tommy: But it was you guys, you know, like it's quite intimate to say back to somebody when they've said it to you, you know, like, I love you guys is easy, but Bri, I love you is hard.

Breana: I love you.

Tommy: See, that's how much she's turned it into that.

Josh: I love you guys. She's managed to have a single one. And I love the chair, I love the mic, I love the table.

Tommy: Do you reckon you'll tell somebody you love them this year, mate, that's not your family?

Breana: The year's nearly up.

Josh: No, 2020. This is coming out the 5th of January.

Tommy: She's a good actor. She can't act.

Josh: She can't act. Sorry, we're not really acting.

Tommy: No, no. But what, what, you're hoping you could tell somebody you love them this year?

Mason: Yeah, maybe it might happen.

Tommy: He's smart. Be special moment, and I'd like, like to capture it, please.

Josh: In regards to like habits and consumption, I'm not, not just any sort of habit, but consumption of content. What's everyone wanting to consume in 2020? So Amy, I feel like you got into more podcasts maybe at the end of the year, or like got focused on a few specific good ones.

Amy: I think I just started sharing them because I've been listening to a lot of different ones for a while, and when I say a lot a lot of different ones. I mean, mainly Armchair Expert, but no, this is the funniest thing.

Tommy: You know when someone in your life close to you has got onto a new podcast and they're just obsessed? Is when they actually drop the name out of the— what I was listening to this podcast, they want to tell you something and they've actually stopped telling you what podcast it is.

Amy: He already knows.

Tommy: I was like, hang on, let me guess, this is from Dax Shepard.

Josh: Who is Dax Shepard?

Breana: He's Kristen Bell's husband. Comedian?

Amy: I shouldn't start with that. Yeah.

Breana: Yeah.

Amy: I think, I don't know.

Breana: I think he's a comedian.

Amy: Definitely.

Breana: Yeah. No, he's like in comedies or something. I'm sure he was.

Tommy: You know his face. His name. I never knew his name, but I know his face. And then yes, he is.

Josh: He's married.

Tommy: His wife is Kristen Bell. But it is a cool kind of podcast.

Amy: It is really cool. But I think I just decided to start posting like when I got stuff out of something because I really appreciate it when other people do that. And I can— and I always read it, what they get out of it, and I think it's real interesting. So I thought, oh, why not?

Josh: So you're gonna post more this in 2020, do you think?

Amy: If I feel like it, I don't know. No real, I guess, goals around that. I'd like to, I think, improve a lot on my thinking because I'm an overthinker. And yeah, so, you know, you can have an interaction For me.

Tommy: Oh yeah.

Amy: What is by overthinker or by improve my thinking?

Tommy: Yeah. What's improving thinking for an overthinker?

Amy: For me, well, I'll answer both questions. For me, I guess if I would have an interaction with someone and they could look at me funny or whatever, and I'll walk away going, fuck, they, they think I'm an idiot and they think this and they think that and create like a whole world around that.

Breana: Anxiety about it.

Amy: Oh yeah. Yeah. Create a whole world around that experience. And then and think it was something that I've done and really try to work that out and then go back to them and go, hey, if, if I offended you by this, that's not what I meant. And I'll go, oh no, it's like you've created this whole narrative, right? And they're like, oh, I just saw something in the distance and was like worried about that for a second.

Breana: Or sometimes it's like they've just got their own shit going on.

Amy: 100%.

Tommy: On a day where they're just, you know, and that's what you caught them on a day when they're trying to smile in every word they speak and you think, what was that? And that person was so fake.

Amy: And that's the thing. When, when I'm creating these worlds, it's super self-centered because I'm making it all about me all the time. Like they're thinking this about me, this is about me. And so I guess what about when I'm trying to put the focus on other people more? I mean, if I can.

Tommy: Empathy for an overthinker. What about when you get it right? And so you start sort of having these like, they're wins, but you start affirming that.

Amy: But I still don't think it's a win because I'm stuck in my head making myself suffer, if that makes sense. Like the way that you think I love it because you'll go, but Amy, they said that they're doing good. So why, why are you overthinking all this stuff if they've said that? And I'm like, yeah, but all these signs indicate to— they're really pissed off at me. And you're like, take them on what they said. If, if they're lying to you, they're being dishonest. They don't want you to know. And what's the point in you making yourself suffer? And I think that you're very good at not allowing yourself to suffer in your head, and that's a real strength and one that I'd like to work on. When—

Josh: yeah, when, when do you need to overthink, or when does it serve?

Amy: Yes, I think when safety's at risk. I think that's probably something that's good to make sure that you are right about. Like if one of your friends, if you think that they're in danger, like at home or whatever, and if they're telling you like, no, no, no, it's all good, and all signs are pointing to things not being good, I think it's probably good to overthink that a little bit and be extra vigilant about different things.

Tommy: I think one of the dangers of underthinking is not listening to yourself and what you think about something. So you're actually having those moments where you're getting signals, but, and it could be even a feeling about something, a situation, and then you don't listen to that.

Amy: Yeah. And so then there's a point where it's like a balance, I guess, in between you and I.

Josh: But to people, to people who underthink also undercommunicate, I wonder.

Tommy: Well, that's what I'm saying. They've, they're undercommunicating with themselves as much as other people.

Josh: Well, if they're not reconciling it there, then, because yeah, I feel like we reflect what we're doing internally. So if you're an overthinker, you're probably an over-communicator. Yeah, yeah. If you could have both, if you could have get to a point where you're taking, maybe not underthinking, but taking things as they're presented to you.

Tommy: Mindfulness is literally the answer, I think, for— because mindfulness is such a guru. No, but it makes sense.

Josh: All right, Bikram.

Tommy: I wish I had his cars. No, um, In a moment—

Josh: selling them actually.

Tommy: In a moment where you are overthinking, having the ability to step back from it, just to actually, uh, observe the situation that's going on with, with no emotion. Yeah, at least attempt to. That's what mindfulness is. It's like not even meditation, it's before. It's like mindfulness.

Amy: Well, every kind of weakness is like a like, is like the opposite of a strength. I'm not doing that well, but like, if you are like an overthinker, then you're probably very thoughtful and considerate because you're thinking about all your actions. And so it's about how do you maximise on the strength of that and minimise the weakness? Like, how do you make it work for you the best that you can?

Tommy: Yeah.

Amy: So I don't want to be an underthinker. I want to still be me, but without it affecting me.

Breana: Yeah, we'll see. My boss Cyan always— because I'm always like, oh, I'm just— I hate overthinking. And I get into these situations where I'm like, oh, I don't know where to go next, or I've really, really thought about something, just like, oh. And I'll go through all these different things with her, and I'm like, I'm sorry, I'm overthinking it. And there was once where she said to me, don't apologise for overthinking. Like, that's one of your strengths, and that's what makes you so good at what you do. But then she was also like, that's one thing that's always going to be annoying for you, like, just to control and to— but she was like, but don't I don't let that go because that's— I like that you overthink and that you care and that you're passionate about what we're doing enough to really think about it thoughtfully.

Amy: Beautiful.

Breana: Um, so I think there's got to be different ways of handling it or whatever that is, because sometimes I can get into a situation where I feel stuck, but then there's other times where I'm like, okay, if I just remove all the bullshit and think, why am I thinking the way I am, and sort of trying to pull it apart in pieces to sort of get Because I think it can, it can definitely serve.

Josh: But I think if it's— if you can try and like, I'll even be like, if I talk to someone, I'll be looking at their visual cues. If I, if they say something, if I say something, I see their arms crossed or things like that, I adjust. Like, I'll do all that sort of shit, which I—

Amy: which— but I think that's— there's, there's a strength in that in as well, because I was thinking about I do similar stuff where like you know, I've like, oh, have I hit a nerve? Okay, let me backtrack and work backwards or whatever, make you feel more comfortable. And, and I guess that the strength in that is that you are— Adam, Adam calls this, um, high self-monitoring. And where— what you're constantly kind of observing yourself and, and changing yourself. And I think I used to hate that about myself because I thought, I'm such a chameleon, whatever someone wants, I'll give it to them. But at the same time, I think that it's it's actually a strength in that you're what— you're always kind of testing the temperature of the room and then able to respond to that.

Breana: Yeah.

Amy: And I think that it's a quite a peaceful quality because it means you're not going to— if there's like a room full of really quiet people, you're not like, well, I'm going to be myself at all costs and I'm loud and I'm this and going to make you all feel really anxious and whatever.

Josh: So I think that's another— yeah, because that's like another mask or whatever.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: Necessarily serving. It's even like if someone, if I like glance over at something while someone's talking and I think they probably thought that I wasn't paying attention, I'll then verbalise the last thing they said or like ask a question that's very specific to that thing to like bring it all back or whatever. And these things I think just happen naturally. Yeah, but I guess it's taking the anxiety out of it, right?

Amy: For sure. And even like when people, I really appreciate it when people people like are direct about what they've done. Like, oh, sorry, I hope you don't think that I wasn't paying attention to you. I was just looking over there because there's a clock there and I have to run in 10 minutes, but I've got heaps of time or whatever. And it's, that's always helpful.

Josh: That's why the Apple Watch is annoying with notifications. Because I keep looking at my watch, but it's—

Breana: Yeah, you do that a lot.

Amy: But you, and you also tell people what you're doing, which I think is good. Like, I'm doing this.

Josh: I'm just looking at my watch.

Breana: Yeah, there's one thing that I do want to stop, like, for both of us to do less of in 2020, and that's being on our phones.

Josh: I thought you were gonna say Uber Eats gelato.

Breana: Well, we're already past Uber Eats.

Josh: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Breana: Um, but definitely be on our phones less because, like, I waste so much time just aimlessly sort of scrolling, or not even— even if I'm doing, like, work stuff, just constantly connected. And I find it really hard at night to switch off and go to sleep. Because like, I know I was speaking to someone on Friday night, um, and we're sort of all helping it with social media at the moment because it's been with the hot weather. We've had a few people that have had melted chocolate, and I dreamt of melted chocolate because I literally was like replying to these people. They were super lovely, it was no, it was no problem. But then in my dreams, I was just dreaming about it, and I was just kept waking up and I was like, oh God, it's, it's, um exhausts into your brain.

Tommy: How can you do it? How can you?

Breana: I think we actually need to take our phones out of our room.

Josh: Let's use night mode, make everything black.

Breana: But I've got night mode and I still look at it.

Josh: No, but you can look at it. The point is it's a little less strain on the eyes, but I get what you're saying.

Breana: No, because it's for your mind.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah.

Breana: We went into a habit for a while there where we were reading before bed and it was just really nice. No screens, you know. Physical books. Yeah, physical books and fiction books for me because I just sort of love to escape. Josh is all about nonfiction. And it was really nice, especially when you find a good book and you can't put it down and you're sitting like every night. I was like looking forward to like reading it. I want to get back into those habits rather than being on my phone. You know, it's so simple, but it's so hard to break.

Amy: It is so hard because it's so addictive. But my sister's reading The Artist's Way at the moment.

Breana: That's what you've got, isn't it?

Josh: Yeah, that's the— it's quite big.

Tommy: Yeah, it was a square-ish. Yeah.

Amy: And what's quite funny is because it was written a while ago, I think before, maybe before techno, like like phone technology before technology was invented. But what it talks about, not reading, which I thought was so crazy because I'm like, because that was the entertainment back in the day.

Tommy: It says, don't read.

Amy: Yeah, it's like—

Josh: Well, that's the whole consumption, right? Like consumption, there's always been a thing that's been the bad thing. I'm sure V, like, will look at phones and think how silly. It's like, detach from the headsets. Like, so, you'll be having headsets or whatever. Take your contact lenses out.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, true.

Amy: It's so funny because it will say, just don't have a newspaper with breakfast and all these things.

Breana: Oh, how funny.

Josh: Yeah.

Breana: Whereas like those things I look at like a little indulgence. I know you do. Even when I'm waiting for the coffees in the morning after the gym, I'll flick through the newspaper.

Amy: Yeah, like a good thing.

Breana: And I was like, oh wow, this is nice. And then on my phone, look at me go.

Tommy: Straight to the Confidential. Yes.

Josh: Every day.

Tommy: Every day.

Josh: Every day.

Tommy: Weekends, I think Sunday really comes in hard, I think.

Breana: I'm all about the horoscopes page.

Tommy: Oh yeah.

Josh: We've just gotten around that.

Breana: Taurus.

Amy: What does that mean?

Breana: Sagittarius. I'm a bull.

Tommy: Apparently I'm stubborn. That's your word for the year.

Breana: Like you are. Yeah, which is quite funny. Do you think I'm stubborn?

Josh: Yeah.

Breana: Okay.

Josh: No, I think so.

Tommy: Sagittarius. You're Virgo. And what are you, mate?

Mason: I don't know. Something in— what's November?

Tommy: September, October, November, December.

Breana: November.

Mason: Is it Scorpio?

Tommy: Oh, November 1st.

Breana: You could be.

Josh: Yeah, you'd be Scorpio. Remember we looked at '97s the other day and said he was going to be finding a new job?

Breana: Oh yeah, that's right.

Josh: I'm gonna send it to him anyway.

Tommy: No plans for this year, Max, to find another job? Or—

Mason: Nah, no plans.

Tommy: Okay.

Breana: Oh good.

Tommy: Send.

Amy: Doesn't count. Maybe his job will go to a new level or something.

Josh: I think so. Yeah, new job, new level, or whatever it's called.

Tommy: Um, what has been your highlight of 2019?

Amy: No, Catboy, he doesn't—

Josh: Oh yeah, I guess we can lean into it. Can you bring the mic a little bit down?

Tommy: Yeah, yeah. Hey Bodhi, Bodhi, what have you liked about this year?

Josh: Nothing.

Tommy: Nothing?

Josh: What's your favorite, what's your favourite character?

Breana: This one.

Josh: Who is it?

Mason: Gecko.

Josh: Gecko.

Tommy: Can you do for us the super gecko muscle? Here we go, 1, 2, 3. The gecko muscle. Yeah.

Josh: Bodhi, what are you excited about for the year?

Tommy: It's your third birthday coming up this year.

Josh: If you could eat anything right now, if I could give you any food, what would you like?

Tommy: Carrot.

Josh: What was that?

Mason: Carrot.

Josh: Carrot.

Amy: Uncle Mason directed that.

Breana: I thought he was going to say biscuit.

Mason: He's gone off biscuits.

Amy: Really?

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: What do you think of biscuits, Bodhi? Catboy biscuits.

Mason: Do they have them?

Tommy: Well, there's Catboy muffins.

Amy: You can make them.

Tommy: And then they have those— remember the old school? Like, you definitely— I did this. I just ate the whole sheet of rice.

Josh: Edible things.

Tommy: Edible little images. We could do the Daily Talk Show ones, like cupcakes. Oh yeah, Mark Shenk gave me those.

Josh: He didn't bake them, but they were delicious.

Tommy: They were amazing. Thanks, Mark.

Josh: Bree and Amy, thank you for a great year. Thank you for supporting us.

Amy: Did you say your things that you were grateful for this week?

Josh: We've done it before.

Mason: Oh, okay.

Breana: Yeah, we just did work stuff.

Tommy: I still gotta write my list.

Amy: But like, we're right here, so you can just—

Breana: Yeah, so you could say something, anything personal.

Tommy: So you get one then.

Amy: And if it's not your spouse, then—

Tommy: So this is personal?

Josh: So you're doing per—

Tommy: Okay, highlight.

Amy: Highlight.

Tommy: I mean, this year's been very work heavy for us. Um, oh, our relationship.

Amy: That's a good one.

Tommy: No, and I'm not— it's been good. I think we've connected more and found that spark again. Um, more sex, uh, which is good. Sextember, where we had that full month where you got— where you got your period, so knocked out most of it. A week or so.

Josh: It doesn't happen every month, ladies and gentlemen.

Tommy: No, it's been nice. I think us and getting a house and— no, we didn't buy it. A lot of people do end up saying, 'What'd you buy?' But no, but no, just moving into a house and Bodhi and just, yeah, our relationship's been lovely.

Breana: That's very nice.

Josh: That's nice.

Breana: You don't have to say anything about me, it's okay.

Josh: No, I will. I want to. I'm just trying to think of which one.

Amy: Oh, that's nice.

Josh: Really?

Tommy: Yeah, because there's so many things.

Josh: I'm trying to think. No, well, I mean, you'd look at like a— you could look at the thing of the phone thing being bad, but— and that we enable each other, but we're very aligned. Like, everything that we do, we do together.

Breana: Yeah.

Josh: So when we're on the phone, can't have Instagrams on the phone at the same time. So I think that's good. Like, I know what I like is like I walk home and Bree's driving, like, she's like basically get to home at the same time, and we— I think we spend a lot of time together, so that's nice.

Breana: A lot of time together.

Tommy: Your routines are good. Yeah, matching.

Josh: Yeah, we've got that aligned. Um, what else? Daylesford was great.

Breana: Daylesford was great.

Josh: We went to, um, like, there was a couple of good hikes, but we want to do more hikes. Yeah, we do more walking and shit. That'd be nice. Oh, that was actually, it was really good when we went into, um, Flinders? No, I was going to say when we went to Churchill Park National Park with 3D Deal.

Breana: Oh yeah, that was fun.

Josh: That was fun. See what else?

Breana: Yeah, and you came packing chocolate with me last weekend.

Josh: Oh yeah, actually that was, that was fun. Yeah, yeah, doing stuff because I think we were talking about love languages or whatever and Bree's is, um, acts of service. She likes when I do acts of service. Which is, which is good. Well, that'd be Lucy. That'd be Lucy. Yeah. All right, great. But anyway, yeah, no, I think active, like doing shit, I think is—

Breana: yeah, doing—

Josh: yeah.

Tommy: Hey, Bodhi, can you say bye to the Gronk Squad? Say see ya, Gronks.

Breana: Oh, I don't want to.

Josh: Can you say it's the Daily Talk Show?

Tommy: Just at least—

Josh: it's the Daily Talk Show. Okay, we're crossing to Bodhi in 3, 2, 1. Oh no, we've got a slight delay.

Tommy: Hang on, here we go.

Josh: There we go. What just happened? We just lost power just there.

Tommy: All right, uh, it's the Daily Talk Show.

Josh: See you tomorrow, guys.

Tommy: Bye, guys.
