Just A Hug

Campbell: The Daily Talk Show.

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 576.

Tommy: What's happening, guys? It's Monday. What's going on?

Josh: We had a very big Friday night. The Gronk Squad's first ever da-da-da-da-da-rings. I just dabbed.

Tommy: The guy who left early did the dab just then.

Mason: Don't do that.

Tommy: That's fitting.

Josh: That was good fun, wasn't it?

Tommy: It was great fun.

Mason: And, uh, Moon Dog OG.

Tommy: Moon Dog OG in Abbotsford. That was great. I reckon it's definitely something we'll start doing more of, maybe once a month.

Josh: I was very happy because we said we were slightly anxious, or I was, about how the whole situation was going to go. Shameless.

Tommy: It was very shameless.

Josh: I, when you were buying pizzas, I started to think, oh, this is, this could hit the mark that we're not doing it anymore.

Tommy: The mark was like $800. Yeah, I was so surprised. Can we just talk?

Josh: Like, yeah, a bunch of people were getting drinks. Yeah. Only like $280.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Did Moondog look after us?

Tommy: No, they didn't. It's— I think we were just— it was just—

Josh: people weren't silly. Thank you.

Tommy: Weren't silly. I mean, we had a couple of people drinks.

Mason: Like, we also had the happy hour or whatever.

Tommy: Oh, we had happy hour. That always helps. Yeah, that always helps.

Josh: So it was— we had about, what, 20 people in total, do you think? Maybe 25. I counted at one time we had 15 and there was probably at least 5.

Tommy: And then another wave of people. Yeah. Glyn, who's from Florida. He's Australian, but he, um, that was great.

Josh: He's in Florida.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah. I mean, he's basically a Florida local.

Josh: We had a bunch of, uh, internationals. We had Tiff as well from Bali.

Tommy: Yeah, it was great. So, uh, one person that didn't rock up was, um, Campbell, who's come late. He's, he's at our studio now. And, um, yeah, sorry guys, you're a bit late, mate. Drinks were on Friday. He's pissed.

Josh: Ramble.

Campbell: I'm dabbing.

Tommy: Don't ever dab, mate. That's Josh's job.

Josh: No, so Ramble has, uh, you've, you've, uh, you've helped us out bits and bobs over the last year. Yeah. And, uh, takes great photos, likes to ride bikes.

Tommy: Yep. He took 3D Dill on a bike mission.

Campbell: Yeah, he did really well. I, I wish we had a GoPro on him because there's this one point that he nearly absolutely killed himself.

Tommy: Oh, he told me.

Campbell: Saved it. It was insane.

Tommy: 15-minute storey for a 3-second Incident. Amazing. He got 15 minutes out of a 3-second bit.

Josh: Yeah. You know, and so Campbell's nickname, we've decided today, we're like, we need a nickname.

Mason: You're workshopping it before the show.

Tommy: I'm upstairs on the computer. I'm just here like, Tommy, we got it, we got a nickname.

Josh: And so it's Ramble because Campbell likes to ramble. Would you say that?

Campbell: I would say so. If I had my own podcast, each episode would be like 2 hours long. And I'd only aim for it to be 15 minutes.

Tommy: Well, I came down, you said, um, you said, my mum will think this is really funny. Why? Why will mum think it's funny?

Campbell: Because I just don't shut up, let alone don't have a filter. But I just will keep talking and I'll go on tangents.

Tommy: So what is it, mate?

Campbell: What is it? Yeah, I don't know.

Tommy: I think you forget you're talking, but you keep talking.

Campbell: Yeah, I don't know.

Tommy: It's good. I think it's, it's your quirk.

Josh: Yeah, we've talked about it.

Tommy: I mean, I'll tell you one Josh Janson, your quirk, dude, and I love it because someone could take this offensively, but I think if you're playing in the what's my quirk—

Josh: Can I just quickly say there's something really fun about people saying your quirks, like the idea that you have seen me in the wild and you're about to spit, I'm pumped.

Tommy: So we went to a meeting today. It's a 30-something degree day. Josh was wearing a hoodie. Yes. And shorts. And I just looked at myself, the two other guys that were there, and we were all in like, like business, like casual business attire.

Josh: It's one of the guys' first days, so he had to dress up.

Tommy: But I was like, this is perfect. Like, I don't even want to tell you to do anything other than what you did.

Josh: Like, I don't think it was a problem.

Tommy: No, it wasn't a problem.

Josh: I brought jeans with me. So this is the thing. Like, it's morals, dude.

Mason: It's like, it's too late to put them on. It's never a problem.

Tommy: Until you'd call it a problem, to be honest.

Josh: So the thing is, when I'm not feeling, not even lean, but when I'm feeling a bit fat, the first thing to go is just t-shirts. If I wear a t-shirt, I just feel, it's like when 97 was filming me doing the umpire moves the other day.

Tommy: Oh yeah.

Josh: There's a moment where I put my arms up and my t-shirt just fucking shows my gut. It's not good. And so the hoodie, I can fluctuate 10 kg either way and be okay in a hoodie.

Tommy: I've got to state that my black eye is not from Friday night's drinks and doesn't have anything to do with toy cars.

Josh: Yeah, the toy car thing. For people who don't know, you revealed the other day how, uh, you were drinking, then the next day, uh, you had a blow-up and threw, uh, Bodhi's toy car at a wall.

Tommy: See, when you even say back like that, it sounds worse. We'd been in the car with a screaming kid for 5 hours. I was tired. Bodhi.

Josh: Bodhi.

Tommy: Bode wanted to get himself out of the car and close the door and everything was a fuss. And his toy car was like, like just there. I was like, oh, I threw it inside because we're walking in. So, but it's, it's, um, Glyn was even trolling me about the toy car on our Facebook group. You see that?

Mason: No.

Tommy: Oh, that's funny.

Campbell: It is an easy troll.

Josh: Yeah, that's great.

Tommy: Anyway, uh, Bode and I had another incident on Saturday night.

Josh: Um, how many toy cars were thrown?

Tommy: No toy cars. And it wasn't the result of any kind of drinking or any aggression. I do have a black eye, but it's because I was reading him a bedtime story, which one came, um, What to Do with a Problem. That's the name of the book. There's one called What to Do with a Chance, and so it's like when a chance comes past, you know, and so what do you do with a problem?

Josh: I'm guessing not throw.

Tommy: No, I did. I got a quarter of the way through the book and then I tapped out. Amy jumped in because Bodhi flew, headbutted me into the corner of like the heart, like the— it's almost like an edge on your eye bone, like the socket. Yeah, it's like this sharp bit there if you feel it. And it just popped and blew up. It was horrible. Anyway.

Josh: Why did Bodhi do that?

Tommy: No, just because he was coming over like he—

Josh: mate, he's very— So you're halfway through.

Tommy: Yeah, but he's moving around. You don't get it. They just like do 360s.

Josh: So he doesn't like just calm down?

Tommy: Sometimes. But tonight, that night he wasn't. Does he need some chamomile? He couldn't drink that. He wouldn't like that.

Josh: Chamomile.

Tommy: So chamomile, chamomile tea.

Mason: Chamomile.

Tommy: Chamomile.

Josh: I mean, chamomile.

Tommy: What do you mean?

Josh: Well, you say all things weird, but, um, garage, garage, um, no, I was watching a YouTube video on tea and, um, for kids, for 2 and a half. No, no, no, chamomile.

Tommy: Chamomile.

Josh: Or whatever it is, is it's not actually part of the tea family. It's a completely different— It's like a flower, actually.

Tommy: Is that like a mint? A mint, I think, is a weed.

Campbell: Oh, is it really?

Tommy: Yeah, I think it's a weed or it's rosemary is a weed. One of them aren't a part of the herb family.

Josh: Really? No, I didn't. So, a weed.

Mason: So mint being a weed, so it like can just grow and grow and grow.

Josh: So everything, anything can be a weed, right?

Tommy: I don't think so.

Josh: Roses could be a weed.

Tommy: Are they a weed though? That's what we need clarification on, Seb.

Josh: If they are growing, what is the definition of a weed, Seb?

Tommy: Hmm.

Campbell: He's just looking up weed.

Mason: I certainly—

Josh: yeah.

Tommy: And now it's, it's, he's on Tyson Ranch. He's about, he's just bought a 3-pack.

Josh: So I think my definition is that it's, uh, not, it's not meant to be, it's not native and it's like growing at a large rate, uncontrollable rate.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: So you could have weeds that like, for instance, those yellow flowers as a kid, remember you'd pick them off. It's like, what?

Tommy: Oh yeah, yeah.

Josh: She loves me, she loves me not.

Tommy: She loves me, she loves me not.

Campbell: Yeah.

Tommy: She loves me, she loves me not. Fuck, I've got to break up with her.

Josh: Yeah, but those things, they're a weed.

Tommy: Mate, there was whole relationships taken down by daffodils. They're not daffodils.

Josh: No, no.

Tommy: Daffodils.

Josh: If you did that to daffodils, yeah, daffodils.

Tommy: Yeah, you're quite opulent. It's, it's opulent move. So what'd you say?

Mason: Uh, it's a wild plant growing where it is not wanted and in competition with cultivated plants.

Tommy: So it could just— so bamboo.

Josh: So ramble.

Tommy: What, what, rambles are weed?

Josh: Now what's the definition of a weed again?

Mason: A wild plant growing where it is not wanted and in competition with cultivated plants.

Tommy: No, I get it. So is mint one? Did you find that out?

Mason: If it's a weed?

Tommy: Yeah, is mint a weed? Let's find that out. I was blown away. Amy told me the other day. I think it was mint.

Mason: I mean, it depends.

Josh: Unless it's rosemary. It depends on the region.

Mason: No, but it depends if you want to grow it.

Campbell: It could be parsley.

Tommy: I've—

Campbell: I remember we had— my mum was growing some parsley. Here we go.

Josh: My mum was— your mum's done everything, Rambo. Go on.

Campbell: Uh, she was growing some parsley and then she would save the seeds. And I think it was a really windy day and all the seeds blew everywhere.

Tommy: This is gonna be long.

Campbell: No joke, like 3 months later, the whole backyard was just full of parsley, just growing randomly. It's pretty sick, actually.

Tommy: Is it? Is this a lie? I don't know how much.

Mason: I love it.

Josh: I love it.

Tommy: That's great. Um, and so I had a, um, I just want to say I got Bodhi back.

Josh: What'd you do?

Tommy: I farted.

Josh: But how did he take it?

Tommy: He did this, he said, what's that smell? And then he says, I don't want to smell this anymore.

Josh: Is there something that you could— so on that, could you, could you have a stinky spray? So rather than pepper spraying him, I have never pepper sprayed him. Yeah, just something, some low level, just, just that smells.

Tommy: Water gun.

Campbell: That's true.

Tommy: Like a kid.

Campbell: It kind of sounds like you've got a cat though.

Tommy: I know, fucking cats, you're just spraying them. No, they get out of there.

Josh: Get out of it. What is the best tool? What is the best tool in regards to keeping him disciplined?

Tommy: Well, I told you guys about the flick.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: And it was, you know, small little, little bit of pain on his hand and he knows. So it's more for when he used to run out on the road. So you like I have to give him a little bit of something right now so he understands that there's huge implications if he does that.

Josh: And so what is it at the moment?

Tommy: Um, the flick. He just presents his hand now and doesn't give a shit. He's like— and then he starts saying, I want to flick. Like, and then he says, Daddy, give me a hand, I need to flick you. And so it's, it's done.

Josh: And so what are you—

Mason: that's annoying.

Josh: So you need to retaliate. Yeah, wooden spoon.

Tommy: The only worry is, I'm not going there.

Campbell: What happens when he starts doing this to kids at like playgroup and stuff? He's like, you need the flick.

Tommy: He probably will.

Josh: He probably is.

Tommy: He probably is now. But no, I don't. It can't be anymore. It's more just timeout.

Josh: So what? Yeah. So what's the—

Tommy: so hates being put back into his bed for timeout. Like hates it.

Josh: How would you feel if I put him in timeout?

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, what?

Josh: What level would he have? So for instance, when he pinched me the other day, I started to flick. I was— you can't say I was asking for it.

Tommy: No, but you almost— you turn around.

Josh: No, I nearly fucking knocked him out, but I controlled myself. I was like, ah yeah, you're a kid. Yeah, but don't do that. Yeah, yeah. So disciplining other people's kids, how— as a parent, how do you feel when I see it done to Bodhi?

Tommy: Oh, I think that it totally depends. I— you don't want to be on the back foot. So immediately I think if someone in my family's disciplining him, I've got to be— I've just like, I let it ride because I don't have— I don't— I haven't seen it. If I saw it and it wasn't— but then you don't want to send too many messages, right? So it's like more confusing if I was to— when I said when discipline, meaning timeouts, like if you put him into timeouts, like it must have been something.

Josh: How bad does it have to be for timeout? Because I'm just wondering, like, from an assert— like, to be able to, like, co-create. Yeah. You know, like, we've got a community here. It's a bit of a village. If we want it like the village kid, Bodhi is doing something. And so, yeah, like, I just want sort of a framework because I've never given a kid a timeout before.

Tommy: Well, I think he'll be quite confused when the guy who gives him biscuits is also giving him the timeout. Timeout with biscuits.

Josh: Bikkies. No, no, but that's the ultimate power, isn't it? Like being the guy who normally gives biscuits to then get a timeout. You're like, I fucked up.

Tommy: Don't you think?

Josh: I mean, I think he would listen to me more than he would listen to you.

Tommy: Uh, potentially just because he, like, if I wasn't around. So when he goes to JoJo and Papa's, he's my mum and dad's. He loves it. He's a little angel.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: But then when he's with us, he's a little animal.

Josh: Papa's very good because he was like 'You don't want Papa to get angry.' Is that what he said?

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: I was like, 'Bo, do not push it.' I can imagine Timbo. Yeah, that's as angry as Timbo gets.

Tommy: Well, Amy's sister lives with us and she enforces the rules and I think it's good.

Josh: So what's the framework? Because everyone's different.

Tommy: Just don't hit the kid.

Josh: So no flicking?

Tommy: Just no hitting my kid. No flicking.

Josh: No physical action. If you just Timeout.

Tommy: Using words or putting him into timeout, that's fine. So that's your boundaries, right?

Josh: Yeah, I like it.

Mason: Gemma says, I look forward to the day that Bodhi decides he likes me.

Tommy: Oh, he does like you, Gemma. Bodhi was at Friday night drinks, obviously, and he pushed the party boy.

Josh: He did push Gemma.

Tommy: Well, yeah, and then he came back and apologized. He said sorry for pushing. It was cute.

Josh: Was it— did he do that on his own accord?

Tommy: He would— yes, he— I— no, maybe Amy said go apologize. I didn't see that bit. I saw the apology though, so, but I didn't see Mum whisper or anything. But he, um, he was just tired, you know. Yeah, so Friday night, basically had beer for the first time. Yeah, good boy. How was it?

Mason: Yeah, not great.

Tommy: The guy didn't like cider either. No.

Josh: What? So someone was, someone was telling us, bro, someone was saying that's not fizzy apple juice. What do you do? Because you don't like kombucha either.

Mason: Nah, kombucha's not great.

Tommy: What do you like in life?

Mason: Just a bit of water. Sprite, Sprite, that's all right.

Josh: Really? Yeah, but lemonade?

Mason: No, but I don't— soft drinks is—

Josh: when was the last time any of you guys ordered a pub squash?

Mason: Yeah, never had one.

Campbell: What's a pub squash?

Tommy: I did that shit last year.

Josh: It's almost like a sangria.

Tommy: I did more of that, like I got, um, lemon lime bitters and yeah, I think I got a pub squash last year.

Josh: And so what, what, um, beer did you have, Sebs? Uh, I have the old—

Mason: yeah, I had that one.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah, 5%. Doesn't seem very strong, 5%.

Tommy: That's, that's how strong beers are. How strong do you think things are?

Josh: Well, I think like a Shiraz or something's normally about between 8 and 11 or something, maybe.

Tommy: All right, I don't know, I don't know. Anyway, it's, it's, it's Reasonable.

Josh: And so I had one beer and then I decided to change to having wine. Yeah, you said, oh, do you want another beer? I said, oh, actually I have a Shiraz, thanks. And then you came back with the beer.

Tommy: I'd had 3 or 4 by then, but I didn't say anything.

Josh: I was like, you know what, I think, uh, it was my, um, my 2020 goal is less blow-ups.

Tommy: That's a good one.

Josh: And I just thought that if, um because I think mentioning it could trigger a blow-up. And so I was like, oh, you know what, like, this is potentially— like, if I say something, yeah, there's potential of you saying, like, maybe you didn't want it, maybe I was being difficult by asking for a wine. I didn't— I don't know the etiquette, so I'm like, maybe I've gone out of my sort of boundary.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And so I'm just gonna have a beer. And then I started drinking it, and then you came over, I was like, Hang on a second. You are a shwag, didn't you?

Campbell: Did he have a car in his hand as well?

Tommy: No, I did. Mase, was I— what did I say? I just sounded fine, didn't I?

Mason: No, you're fine.

Tommy: Because we went out. Mase pushed through and went out. We went, we went for dinner.

Josh: So yeah, you were— no, but I was saying I couldn't believe— I was saying this to Scooter on the way home. I was like, I can't believe that you decided to not drink all of last year when we're building our business. Because I feel like, like I was saying, like we should have a— like, I love you when you're—

Tommy: oh really?

Josh: So I think we could get some beer taps and just do even a bit of sort of an Aaron Young style. I, you know, just in the office, in the office over, you know, a nice wine.

Tommy: I mean, it is amazing, like when you don't— when you go from nothing to that, like you see how businesses build their culture around drinking alcohol.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Like Friday night drinks, everyone's a bit loose, like, fuck yeah, let's 'Everyone, you know, knock off. Here's the drink cart.' Yeah, like, it's very easy.

Josh: Is there a drink cart in offices?

Tommy: Oh, Amy's office, one, one she worked in, she would go around, everyone would pick the cocktail they wanted at the end of the week, and someone would be responsible for making shitloads of margaritas. So like a full sort of jug, and they'll go around to all the, you know, workstations. Margarita? Yeah, margarita. Like 3 PM, and then 4, 5 PM, it's the drinks launch and then, but like you see how it can be very destructive, but it also sort of, it's very easy to get people together when, when there's drinking involved. Like we could easily get 30 people once a month to drink. So I reckon we start doing that.

Josh: Sure.

Mason: Gemma says Glow Journals champagne is built around champ— oh sorry, Glow Journals culture is built around champagne. Yeah, it's like champagne is also built around champagne.

Tommy: Built by a bottle of wine.

Josh: Exactly.

Tommy: I mean, this is where you— there are— I mean, you've— I don't know if there's a delusion of thinking that shit's great because you're feeling a bit good inside. So when you do a bit of work, it's potentially a bit toxic. Yeah, all this stuff is when you take it too far. Yeah, you're doing that because I see people—

Josh: it's annoying when you start doing something and it's also other people's resolutions to stop that thing. It's slightly confusing.

Tommy: I'm all behind, like, Glenn wasn't drinking but came.

Josh: So, power move.

Tommy: Oh, really? Power move.

Josh: See, this is why I don't even see it. But I'm not one to be like, oh, this person's drinking, this person's not.

Tommy: I've also— you said less blowups. One of my— not resolutions, but one thing I want to get behind is if anyone says they're not a drinker or don't want to drink, fuck, 110% supporting them.

Josh: What does that look like?

Tommy: Like Glenn, he said, oh, I'm not drinking. No, I wouldn't go get him a drink if he said he's not drinking. And I saw, I just was insisting, I'll get you pubs or whatever it was, lemon lime and bitters. Like, help people because it can be hard enough as it is. So if people are around and it's—

Josh: So you're not going to give anyone shit?

Tommy: No, no way. Except I think that's— Except sorry, except sorry.

Josh: Why Seb's looking like— That's why, because yeah, there was— I mean, it wasn't pressure. I mean, you had a, um, a cider that you didn't finish.

Mason: Yeah, I didn't finish both of them. And then there was probably, it was probably about maybe a quarter left in the cider and then 98% of a beer left.

Tommy: And then Basil.

Mason: And then Basil downed it.

Campbell: Yeah.

Tommy: Downed it.

Mason: Anyway.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: So last time I buy you a beer.

Josh: No, it was great though. There was a good crew. Jordan Michaelides and I were looking at our genes.

Tommy: Genes? As in your genes that you're wearing?

Josh: G-E-N-E-S. Oh, like have you done?

Tommy: Oh yeah, you've done the 23andMe.

Josh: And he'd done the same. Are you brothers? No, but he's got 5% Iranian, which is a—

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, on trend.

Josh: Yeah, very on trend on Twitter. And oh yeah, obviously the— we found out about the Iran, like that plane that was— Yeah, I mean, accident by Iran.

Tommy: Way to take a real shift.

Josh: Well, I mean, hopefully, or as in for me or for them, just for the show.

Tommy: For the show, dude.

Mason: Just the same, like, gone from Friday night drinks to it. Anyway, to bring it back, Gemma says, when are we helping Sevs fulfil his 2020 goal of going to a nightclub?

Tommy: Oh yeah, yeah, I mean, maybe the next one. Maybe the next Friday night drinks. The next Friday night drinks is going to end up with us launching and going straight to the club.

Josh: So what time did you—

Tommy: oh, you know who can get— fuck, Grant Smiley, Grant Smiley, hook us up. He's got contacts, bro. We'll go drink at Ponyfish Island and then we'll launch. Anyway, that's another time.

Campbell: Hopefully not into the Arrow.

Tommy: No, not into the Arrow. So, um, I wanted to give you an update also on, um, my, my embarrassing, uh, somehow figuring out 24 months later that I was on a leasing plan and I have to give the phone back in a month's time.

Josh: It's like thinking you bought a house And then a property manager going, all right guys, the landlord's— beg your pardon, landlord? Yeah. So it turns out you don't own it.

Tommy: In Australia, they've stopped doing leasing contracts for phones because of this, because it's an absolute fucking rort. So you pay the same amount as someone else is paying to actually have the phone at the end. Like you're paying the same amount as me and you're getting the latest phone that's worth twice as much as this by the end of the contract. Anyway, went to Telstra on the weekend. Told— spoke to this bloke. I was like, mate, this is absolutely fucking bullshit. He was like a young dude. He's like, yeah, look, uh, call up, lodge a complaint, and you should be able to keep your phone. He said heaps of people have been doing it.

Campbell: Great.

Josh: Sounds like a lot of admin.

Tommy: Yes, I know.

Mason: What a guy though.

Tommy: But what a guy. Insider at Telstra. I mean, insider. That's great.

Josh: So it was—

Tommy: I was—

Josh: what's the likelihood of So you're gonna call up?

Tommy: Yeah, because I was actually not aware— such a gronk move— not aware that it was on lease.

Josh: Because you're gonna sell it to your bro? Are you still planning on doing that?

Tommy: Well, if I can get it for free, I'll just give it to him.

Josh: Oh, that's nice. Is that an official statement?

Tommy: Is that an official—

Josh: you know what, I fucking—

Tommy: well, because I'll just tell you what my thinking was.

Mason: $500, mate.

Tommy: No, no, no. I was thinking I want to get the new phone, which is your one, but I don't want to get it without insurance. Insurance is $15 a month.

Josh: Sure.

Tommy: 12 months of— sorry, 24 months of $15 a month is how much?

Josh: $300 or something.

Tommy: Sell it to him for—

Josh: oh yeah, that's $300.

Tommy: Sell it to him for the insurance cost because then I won't be actually paying any difference. I'll be back on the same.

Josh: You still— and you still give him a very good deal because the iPhone, he gets a $700 phone for That's pretty good.

Tommy: But then I still say, I mean, is that all right?

Josh: Yeah, I think it's fine.

Tommy: He's my brother though.

Josh: Yeah, no, I think it's fine.

Tommy: Okay.

Josh: Yeah, I mean, if I've got a lot of pushy family, it's fine. Yeah, if you give them a good deal, I guess.

Tommy: You sold your PlayStation?

Josh: Yeah, Xbox.

Tommy: To your brother?

Campbell: Mm-hmm.

Josh: Serious loss on that one. No, I, um, I bought it because he told me, man, you should buy the Xbox. Yeah. And I bought it and I wasn't using it at all, and so I'm like, can I sell it to you? And I sold it to him for like half the price. Yeah, which he was using it anyway, but then he got to sell it on, I guess.

Tommy: But a lot of trading through the brothers. It's, um, that's good. Hey, uh, Thursday night we've locked in a guest for our chat at the Espy.

Josh: For people who missed it, uh, we've teamed up with Lady Brains, um, Anna and Kate there, and, uh, Glow Journals Gemma Watts, also known as Queen Gronkh. And, uh, yeah, we're doing an event, uh, at the Espy in St Kilda to raise money for the bushfires.

Tommy: So tickets, all the money's going to, um, going to the bushfire—

Josh: Victorian, uh, Wildlife and Victorian Bushfire Fund.

Tommy: It's fucking good. Uh, the, the venue, so Espy, is awesome. Yeah, I've never drank there before. Really? With the reopened one, so I'll have a beer at least. Um, heaps of people, uh, do you see Amazon have donated to the bushfires?

Josh: Yes, $1 million.

Tommy: Million bucks.

Josh: So it was, um, just to close the loop on the event, so it's 6:30 on Thursday night, tickets are $55. If you go to our Instagram bio, uh, it's a MoshTick site, you can, uh, buy them there. We've got Ryan Shelton, our mate, who is going to be the guest for our bit. Yeah, but it's going to be, um, it's going to be a good one.

Tommy: Are you coming, Ramble?

Campbell: Uh, yeah, I'm actually just checking it out now. I thought it was next week. So I'll get a ticket now. Yeah, I definitely want to come.

Tommy: Bring your missus?

Campbell: I don't know, we'll see.

Josh: What's happening?

Tommy: Why, is it all good?

Campbell: Yeah, no, it's fine. No, she's, um, oh, she's got a lot of work on, so I don't know if she's gonna—

Josh: What's the hours?

Campbell: Um, oh, they're all over the place, I can't even keep up. But like, she'll— so she works, uh, as a receptionist at a place underneath the Carlton Baths. I think it's like—

Tommy: very specific. I love the detail that goes into it. Micro data.

Campbell: Yeah, that's it. You got to know it. Anyway, um, so yeah, she works there, but she'll be getting up at like 5 AM sometimes.

Josh: We know it.

Campbell: To get—

Tommy: this is great.

Campbell: Um, to open up, she's got to open place up, and sometimes she'll be working till like 3 or something from— it's like 6 or something.

Josh: So she'll be tired. How long she worked there for?

Campbell: Um, she started working there for 2 months ago or something like that, but she was originally working at Chemist Warehouse and that destroyed her. So this is a nice change. I'll try and just they use them. Oh really? They really use them and they get pretty poorly treated. Like, I think she was getting bullied.

Tommy: Enough of the defamatory stories.

Josh: That's how you get warehouse prices. That's it. You have to, like, if you're gonna work, yeah, they have to treat them like warehouse employees to get warehouse prices. It's not ideal. But I mean, so talking about warehouse and stuff like that, Amazon. So first of all, I think Amazon raised the prices of all the minimum wage of all employees in the US to $15.

Tommy: It's good. I mean, the huge expense across thousands of employees.

Josh: I think maybe it was the guy Henry Ford who invented— did he invent the car? He definitely invented Ford manufacturing. Yeah. You know, it was the first big manufacturer or whatever. I believe he was famous for giving everyone really good salaries. But no, so Amazon did their Or Jeff, uh, Jeff, um, what's his name?

Tommy: Bezos.

Josh: Jeff Bezos did an Instagram post. Did you see that one about the million dollars?

Tommy: About the fires? Yeah, that's actually how I saw it.

Josh: Did you read the comments?

Tommy: What is it? This is, you know, 0.0001% of your net worth, that kind of shit.

Josh: Also because it's AUD. Oh, you did state that it was AUD, which I don't— mate, any contribution is good, but people were getting so annoyed. It's like, come on guys, settle down.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, if you're annoyed—

Josh: What were you going to say about the— you brought it up— what about the million dollars?

Tommy: I was just great, we're talking, it was bushfire banter and all of them, and I just wanted to— I like seeing the updates along the way about how much money's been raised. It's fucking sick, it's great. Anyway, uh, thanks for coming in, Ramble.

Campbell: Yeah, you're welcome.

Josh: Anything else you want to talk about?

Tommy: I mean, if you do want us to throw you a topic and then you can just ramble.

Josh: Yeah, let's just get one good ramble.

Campbell: How long do you want this to last?

Josh: You, you tell us. Um, do you have New Year's resolutions?

Campbell: That's one I've been thinking about because I always hear it when you guys talk about it on the show. I don't actually have one, like a one set one, but I think there's a few things that in life I always just try and sort of aim for, um, which is just to I've got to think of them because I can't always just remember. I think one of them's like, um, just be more organised in general. Like, I just don't think about things, I just sort of ride it by the seat of my pants and just hope that shit goes all right. Um, but what was that? Being organized. I'll do the internship that I'm doing, that was one thing. And just sort of, I don't know, I just, I haven't had a resolution. That's, I guess that's all I'm trying to say.

Josh: Have you tried one that's failed previously?

Campbell: Um, no, I've never actually been one to have resolutions. I think this is— this show's definitely made me think more about it and think more about setting these goals, which is like part of that organisation thing, I think. So I guess having more sturdy goals is probably my resolution, which I haven't done very well with at the moment. So yeah, I don't know.

Josh: That's right, good, good ramble, good little ramble.

Tommy: It's great, those are awesome.

Josh: But now we can't— going forward, we can't make fun of ramble rambling. The joke is that he'll do it if you're listening and he's rambling, haha, it's funny. But if we laugh, he'll then start getting self-conscious and it feels like it's bullying.

Tommy: Oh, we love it. It's equal.

Campbell: I'm used to it though.

Josh: Okay, what do you mean?

Campbell: All through high school I got bullied for it for sure.

Tommy: Did you? What was that? What was that?

Campbell: Was the, the, um, the thing I was talking about earlier, the Shut Up Campbell. It was sort of like, it wasn't a nickname, but it was like a tagline that everyone would use for me. So I'd be saying some dumb dumb pun or something like that, just something silly, and they'd be like, shut up, Campbell. And it just sort of stuck. It was weird. And then somehow it translated to work, so people started saying it at work, and I'm like, this is weird, it's like universal now. So, and I've just ran—

Josh: And so when would they say it? No, you're not rambling. When would they say—

Tommy: I mean, if there's a place to ramble, it's a podcast.

Josh: That's all.

Tommy: This is actually— You found the medium.

Campbell: That's it. Um, what was your question again?

Josh: Yeah, so what, what would you be talking about where they'd say shut up Oh, it'd be just dumb.

Campbell: Oh, just dumb stuff.

Josh: Like, oops, this is a good artist.

Campbell: Um, I think I'd just be making a comment about something and it'd just sort of be either— it'd be like a little, uh, joke about the situation or something, and they'd be like, oh, shut up. And it— or it'd be like me, I just wouldn't be using my filter and I'd just say something dumb. They're like, oh, what are you on about?

Josh: But there's something fun about not having a, like a filter. I think for this sort of—

Campbell: I think you and I can agree on that, Josh, for sure.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, no filter.

Josh: Uh, Seb, so we've been getting a bunch of Apple Podcast reviews.

Mason: Yeah, we got a review from Luchy Lou 7. Uh, excellent podcast, enjoy the relatable content, keep up the good work. Also saw Seb on the 48 tram but was too shy to say hey.

Tommy: I mean, if next time you're too shy to say hey, just, just woof. And he'll get it, he'll understand.

Campbell: Yeah, yeah.

Josh: So Hamish and Andy do a dollar. So every time someone sees them, if they come up to them, they get a dollar if they listen to the podcast.

Tommy: Who gets a dollar?

Mason: No, I'm not kidding.

Josh: The people who come up.

Tommy: But do you need, you need a dollar on you?

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: So they have, they, they carry coins.

Tommy: That's the thing on their podcast. Like, these guys, they're famous guys.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. And so it's going to be pretty low level for Seb's. Or any of us, what could we do?

Mason: Just a hug.

Josh: You're just gonna hug someone on a tram if you just met them? I mean, will you say, do you, hey, do you want a hug? Or how do you—

Tommy: who, what, who's it, who's that?

Mason: I don't know. Yeah, maybe that's a hard one.

Tommy: It'd be so awkward. I'd love to see it.

Mason: No, it would just be, it would, yeah, it'd be the best.

Tommy: Something.

Josh: I mean, what else could you give? Selfie? Could you presumptuously just say the $1? That's worse than a hug.

Campbell: Like, the one, let's get a selfie on a tram.

Tommy: At least there's something in it for them because they can go and get a dollar coffee or something, you know.

Josh: What about if we were to buy a bunch of scratchies and we carry them and carry them?

Tommy: I mean, that's hard because I would want to scratch it.

Josh: Yeah, I know.

Tommy: You know, when you got scratchies on you, you just want to scratch it. Yeah, that's what they're made for.

Josh: So would you have— what would you have said if someone had come up to you and said, hey, I listen to the show?

Mason: I'd probably— I don't know, you just, hey, how you going? Give them a hug.

Josh: So you're all fucked. Why are you so keen on this hug? You wouldn't—

Tommy: you—

Josh: I would.

Tommy: I wouldn't hug them and shake their hands.

Josh: Nah, I'd probably hug. Yeah, yeah.

Tommy: Anyway, can we just at least get that person on the 48 to come up and say hi? Yeah, I've heard a bit about it.

Josh: How often are you going on the 48? Not very much now.

Mason: No, it's, uh, pretty much Wednesday. No, no, nearly every night on the way home.

Josh: What time?

Mason: Probably between— nah, between 8.

Josh: Oh, this is when he's leaving work.

Mason: No, no, no, this is after the gym.

Tommy: This is after—

Josh: no, but still, what time do you leave?

Mason: 8 to 9 o'clock.

Josh: People need to know how hard you work. What time do you leave the office?

Mason: I mean, it depends.

Josh: Like 7?

Mason: No, not every night.

Josh: Sometimes.

Mason: Only—

Tommy: yeah, 6 nights away.

Josh: But so you go, man, you go to the gym late. Yeah.

Mason: And so I just got it that, that night where I was working late. I just got to the gym in time.

Josh: Okay.

Mason: You got a sauna session.

Josh: Well, that's not a nice Apple Podcast review.

Tommy: Yeah, it was lovely.

Josh: If you're— if you, uh, haven't left us an Apple Podcast review and you've listened to a while, I think that's a good prompt. If you've been listening, uh, for more than 3 months and you haven't left an Apple Podcast review, I know that I'm not necessarily a guy to leave reviews Yeah. Yeah.

Mason: So, we've literally got one. My first review I can be asked writing. Oh, great.

Josh: What do they say?

Mason: Ripping podcast, lads. I've been listening for about 4 months now and love it. I'm working my way through the back catalogue while also listening to the new episodes daily. Keep up the great work. The Real Mad Matty.

Josh: The Real Mad Matty.

Tommy: That's a good one.

Mason: Oh, it's hashtag as well. #TheRealMadMatty.

Josh: We should look up that hashtag. Anyway, so, there's a few things that you can do. There's the—

Campbell: Oh.

Josh: Before we— there's also the PO box.

Campbell: Oh yeah, true.

Josh: So, um, Sevs, I gave you the PO box key and we've gotten, um, we've gotten mail.

Mason: Yeah.

Tommy: So we've got one that is, um, we asked for cash, any currency, doesn't matter, we don't discriminate, we just want cash, cold hard cash sent to us.

Josh: And so this is, hey Grongs, these were rejected by my bank, lol. So I thought you guys might like them. Cheers, HB.

Tommy: Awesome.

Josh: Let's have a look. And so we've got—

Tommy: hold it up.

Mason: It's in Indonesian currency.

Tommy: Yeah, it's cash. I mean, it's sent, it's sent on like pirate ship paper. It's like a nice textured pirate ship. Yeah, it's like, you know, you'd undo a scroll.

Josh: It's almost like a, um—

Tommy: this is great.

Josh: And so there's some rupiah, some rupiah, I think it's called. What, I don't get it? Oh, because of the—

Tommy: of course you don't.

Mason: That one was from Happy.

Josh: Just put your eye between this one.

Mason: Happy Harry also sent through, uh, Monopoly.

Josh: I don't know if it is.

Mason: That was Happy Harry.

Campbell: Happy Harry, he sent you a house?

Tommy: Yeah, like, let's just at least show—

Josh: Does this mean that he doesn't have enough? Is he fucked? He's Monopoly.

Mason: They're probably all lost anyway.

Josh: Surely there's extras anyway.

Tommy: All right guys, it's been fun. Happy Monday again.

Josh: Anything else, Seb?

Mason: No. Uh, Gemma says tickets are selling fast, so—

Josh: shit.

Campbell: Oh yeah, I actually just got one then.

Josh: Really? That's why they're going fast.

Campbell: Yeah, sorry, I was on my phone.

Josh: That's the ticket.

Tommy: Hopefully Amy and Bree have got one.

Josh: Yes. Yeah, yeah. Did Bree get one? Yeah, Bree.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll get a ticket. Anyway, go to our link in our bio.
