From this episode’s transcript.

  • –The hosts and producer Seb deliberately tried to limit coronavirus talk after being told it had become a 'crutch' for the show, but the topic kept resurfacing naturally.
  • –Early pandemic behaviors are documented: panic milk buying (Seb's dad bought 70 litres and wanted to freeze it), empty supermarket shelves, and people supporting local businesses via food delivery and small gestures like buying coffees.
  • –The stock market crash was tracked live using the Self Wealth trading app, with Qantas shares dropping from $6.30 to $2.53 and Kogan.com shares also falling.
  • –Sports leagues (AFL, NRL) were uncertain about proceeding with games, and player contracts allowed salary cuts if revenue dropped severely.
  • –The team discussed practical pandemic prep like wills, home internet reliability, and buying a SodaStream, while also planning a possible exclusive competition-based 21st birthday party for Seb given small-gathering restrictions.

Questions this episode answers

Why did the hosts try to avoid talking about coronavirus in this episode?

Producer Mr. 97 (Seb/George Martin) told the team in a meeting that talking about corona had become a 'crutch' for the show, so Josh and Tommy agreed to limit it, though Tommy argued some connection to it was unavoidable and 'remiss' to ignore entirely.

How did the hosts track stock market movements during the COVID crash?

Seb set Josh up on an investing app called Self Wealth, which works like a social network showing a ladder of how different users' portfolios are performing. They used it to check share prices for companies like Qantas and Kogan.com, noting Qantas dropped from $6.30 to $2.53.

What pandemic-related panic buying behavior does Seb describe?

Seb's dad rode his bike to the store (since there were no cars) and bought 70 litres of milk on top of the 15 litres they already had, planning to freeze it since their fridge wasn't big enough, prompting a tangent about whether powdered or frozen milk is more disgusting.

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 641.

0:07

Tommy: What's happening, guys? Happy Wednesday. Oh yeah, what's going down?

0:13

Josh: Mr. 97 said this morning, he, he's in the team meeting, he said, I think that talking about corona has become a bit of a crutch for the show.

0:26

Tommy: Can I blow up now? Because I didn't, and I was hot and bit sweaty and just bit angry.

0:32

Josh: Like a temperature?

0:34

Tommy: No, but just like, so one of the downfalls of working from home for myself is that my aircon is not dialled in. I'm rocking a fan right now and downstairs there's no evaporative cooling. So when the— I mean, we're lucky we're moving into the cooler months because otherwise if this was peak summer, yeah, we would have been in trouble. But I was, you know, that time I was JJ peak hot flush and ready to blow up. Mate, don't you dare tell me about content.

1:03

Josh: The only reason that I've had a cough at all in the last 3 days is because I haven't turned the aircon off since I started working from home.

1:10

Tommy: Yeah, look, I've said it can't be a completely coronavirus show, but I think it has to have some elements or connection to it. Otherwise, You know, it's remiss.

1:24

Josh: And so, um, Seb's—

1:26

Tommy: unless it has to be a real update, there has to be something. There's been a bunch of real updates I can't be bothered going through. My housemate is a Lego minefield right now. Dangerous.

1:36

Josh: You mean your son Bodhi?

1:38

Tommy: No. Yeah, Bodhi's pulled out the Lego, but on one housemate. Yeah, my house is— did I say housemate?

1:46

Josh: Yeah, you said. Yeah.

1:46

Tommy: Oh dude, my, my Can I call him my friend? I grew up with him in the same street.

1:52

Josh: You call everyone your friend, to be honest.

1:53

Tommy: Yeah, I like to— I want to call Will my friend. Will, we grew up in the same street together and, um, lived probably 7 houses down. Great bloke. We've trained since he came to the gym that I was at. I can call him my mate. My best friend. My best friend Will.

2:07

Josh: When was the last time you saw him?

2:09

Tommy: 8 to 10 years ago. My best mate Will posted recently, just— he's like, it's going to be a big couple of months. In lockdown and he was at home and he had a photo and he's like, I've got, you know, my colleague that I'm locked down with and I'm already sleeping with her. But it was his wife. She's working from home as well. But I thought it was quite funny that, you know, it's his colleague that he's now sleeping with.

2:33

Josh: It is funny about the people who come out and start giving, talking about stuff on Instagram, giving feedback, giving advice, telling people, doing their own sort of public service. Announcements. My favourite was from Gronkh Hayden, who's got the Daily Talk Show tattoo. He says, do not listen to influencers, celebrities, news outlets. Do your own research and understand the facts. And obviously listen to Hayden Dibb as well.

3:03

Tommy: I mean, is that the first declaration that he's not an influencer? He's not a celebrity?

3:12

Josh: No, but I— yeah, there was something funny. But anyway, the good thing is, um, we're happy not to talk about corona stuff. And so I asked you, I said, mate, uh, as the great producer that you are, I wanted you to come up with a few, um, few talking points for us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, yes, I don't, I don't micromanage you anymore. I still manage you but don't micromanage you. And so we, we spoke about it What do you got?

3:41

George: Well, how's this? One year ago today, we were talking about what my bedroom would look like.

3:48

Tommy: Your bedroom? Like we'd never been there, you were saying. Okay, I just want to say I dropped you over a little device that allows you to have a better shot than we do. I mean, we're better lit. You've blown it. But I said, where's your clothes? He said, you said no cupboards or something like that. He said over there. And then I said to you, how many people have you killed? Because your whole room looks like a killer's room. Just neat, ready. You got your different kinds of knives that you do your jobs with.

4:24

Josh: What does it smell like in there, Seb? Oh, actually, TJ, you know, this is, you know what's crazy, Seb?

4:31

Tommy: Today was the first day that I've ever been in your bedroom because I've been to your house, but I haven't got down to the basement. It's always a line of women.

4:41

Josh: And so what was it like? Because he brings the candles to the office.

4:46

Tommy: No, it doesn't. I mean, you can tell, like, it's almost like it's an interesting build, that old joint that you're in. It's lovely. It's like, but it's sort of down into the depths of the earth. It's like, so it feels like you found it kind of in a basement, but it's not. It's like, it would have been like an old rumpus room or some kind of bedrooms. So you got that sort of smell, that vibe of like sort of earth.

5:12

Josh: Very foresty.

5:13

Tommy: Is that? Well, the forest is where, not, it's not the earth that I'm talking about. It's very sort of, it's quite neutral, but smells like it's a home that's lived in. So it's not one that is like, you know, Yucky. It's not one that's like, yeah, I love that. Yeah, I mean, close to, close to musty, like a motel musty. Uh, yeah, I reckon, but not, not like on the verge. So you're not like calling reception saying, I need a room change.

5:41

Josh: It looks like it would be very comfortable. I'm, I'm excited to, uh, see what the, the winter vibe would be like.

5:49

George: It's very cold.

5:51

Josh: I think it would look beautiful though. I can imagine, I could imagine a fireplace in there.

5:56

Tommy: It is nice, but it does feel like he's about to— it feels like the coronavirus has hit the UK and he's moved back and he's just whacked a bed on the ground at his parents' joint because he doesn't have a comm. You see? No, UK, because like if you're in the— like, uh, my wife's cousin She is at Christmas time saying goodbyes, you know, enjoy London, you know, enjoy living— oh, sorry, not London— enjoy living in the UK. She's about to head home based on what's happening, and she's not living there now. So that was the sort of the UK reference. The UK. I could have said America. I could have said—

6:38

Josh: but I do wonder, um, uh, Seb, is your— is that in focus for you? Anyway, um, the Just quickly, Gemma says the room looks like a—

6:49

George: his room is a sex dungeon. It smells fresh. How did you not visit the bedroom when Pete and I sussed it? It has a separate sexy door.

6:58

Josh: And the other thing Gemma was saying too is that Hayden also said that he was unfollowing all influencers and she had to cheque to see if she was still being followed. And she said she's safe, by the way.

7:11

Tommy: Yeah, I'm looking forward to having Gemma on the show just to talk coronavirus, how it's impacted the beauty industry, you know, all those headlines that we can get through.

7:20

Josh: Yeah, but I mean, let's not talk too much about Corona, as Sev's sort of pointed out.

7:25

Tommy: But so how about we talk about Corona whenever we feel like it? But Sev's job is to— like, he's got the fishing rod and he's reeling us back in as we— like, he needs to craft, be crafty, and sort of reel it back to topics that aren't involving Corona, because I'll get it there, mate. You tell anything, I'll get it to coronavirus.

7:46

Josh: Can we go real dark for a sec? Sure, because I know like there's a lot of people doing light news at the moment.

7:51

Tommy: Mason, he's testing you.

7:53

Josh: No, no, I wasn't testing him. Do you reckon— I had a moment, Sev, with your citizen status sort of thing in Australia, could you ever be sent back to New Zealand?

8:06

Tommy: No.

8:07

George: Well, yeah, I mean, if I commit a crime.

8:11

Tommy: No, not during this time.

8:12

Josh: He's fine.

8:13

George: Do you mean during this time?

8:14

Tommy: Then I'm fine.

8:15

George: Yeah.

8:16

Josh: Okay.

8:16

Tommy: He contributes to the economy. His parents pay taxes.

8:19

Josh: Have your parents spoken about it? Like, guys, we're all fine.

8:22

George: No, but the— unless they cancel the visa we have, then a lot of people from New Zealand—

8:27

Josh: Okay, so you're all good.

8:28

George: But they're not going to cancel.

8:30

Josh: I'm sorry to get dark. The, um, Shannon— Shannon wrote in the comments about, um, yesterday that I reported about a potential government update And I was skeptical. Off air, after we spoke, I said 97.7 was really spreading the word and saying, look, we've got this inside information. I pointed out that it seemed very similar to when there was a text message going around that said that there was going to be a terrorist attack at Chadstone. This was a couple of Christmases ago.

9:05

Tommy: Oh, hang on, that's the text you sent me. As in, I just got a text from Josh Jantzen saying, mate, get this.

9:11

Josh: No, sorry, that did happen. And so anyway, I learned from there. But, Sebs, you told your parents basically that Australia was going into lockdown. Oh, yeah. I really got locked down. To the point of his dad going to the store on his bike because there was no cars and bought 70 litres of milk.

9:35

George: Well, the good thing was we had about 15 litres of milk prior to that. But yeah, he did go down and buy another—

9:43

Josh: What are you gonna do with all the milk?

9:45

George: Well, apparently he wants to freeze it.

9:49

Josh: So—

9:49

Tommy: But you don't have enough room in your fridge.

9:51

George: No, we don't. That's why he was on looking for a new fridge to buy. So—

9:58

Josh: Okay, and so what's the difference between like powdered milk and frozen milk? What's more disgusting?

10:06

George: True.

10:07

Josh: He's Googling it.

10:08

Tommy: Okay, he's asking for your opinion.

10:11

George: Yeah, I actually, I actually just want to know if there's any difference between powdered milk and normal milk.

10:16

Tommy: Well, one's in powder form, one's come as milk, but what we're saying is the— when you obviously to drink the milk, you need to thaw it out.

10:24

Josh: I reckon powdered is probably more consistent.

10:28

Tommy: I think you could be, yeah. I mean, I think it would taste like powdered milk and the other one would taste like a bit normal milk gone funky, gone a bit weird, like a bit watery.

10:38

Josh: Harry said powdered milk is what lambs drink. Oh yeah.

10:44

Tommy: Oh, you know, this is the— there's so many comedians coming out of the woodwork in the last couple of weeks, me being one of them at the supermarket.

10:51

Josh: Well, you're calling yourself a comedian.

10:54

Tommy: Nothing. Well, you can be the judge. Nothing on the shelves in one aisle other than Deb, that, that like fake potato powder, Deb. And I said, you know, you know, it's all gone shit, gone to shit or something when you're buying Deb. The lady laughed that was next to me. You know, I read the—

11:13

Josh: I laughed at you this week.

11:17

Tommy: Uh, uh, no, not yet.

11:18

Josh: Any other jokes?

11:20

Tommy: Not that I— not that— oh, hang on, hang on.

11:23

Josh: What about a weekly joke from me?

11:28

Tommy: Yeah, but I think I've got jokes, but they just come. I just— I don't— I'm not like you. I'm not trying to cheque the temperature in the room, bro.

11:40

Josh: I would enjoy that though.

11:41

Tommy: It's improv. It's all improv.

11:44

Josh: And so that was—

11:44

Tommy: I can't put my finger on a joke. Yeah, that was, that was one that I just literally came up and thought, you know, so that's why I'm a comical genius.

11:52

Josh: Anyway, that's good. Yeah, what else you got for us?

11:58

George: Uh, our upcoming live streaming setup.

12:02

Josh: Well, that's what you've worked on all day.

12:04

Tommy: You're reading dot points, is that what you're doing? You're reading?

12:07

George: I've actually, I've actually gone into Trello and yeah, I did make, um, cards, so they're literally dot points.

12:12

Josh: So that means that's really— so yeah, we're trying to make a better live stream. That's good. That's more of a to-do list than a content point. What else?

12:19

George: What else?

12:21

Tommy: What else?

12:24

Josh: Better internet for you. That's good.

12:26

George: Definitely. Yeah, that's on the list. 21st birthday.

12:30

Tommy: Yeah, Josh brought that up. There's his content.

12:33

Josh: Yeah, that is my content. Yeah, I appreciate that. He's just serving it to me. No, so I, I feel like we want it. I want to have stuff to look forward to. And then I was thinking, what sort of parties or gatherings are going to have less than 10 people anyway? You know, when they're saying to do the restrictions around the world. And then I thought, hang on, Seb's only had about 3 invitees for his 21st birthday. This could be the perfect opportunity to— I know it's a long storey arc. But for the next, you know, sort of 7 months or however long it is until November, how long is that? Yeah, whatever. Over the coming months, why don't we run some form of competition to get people into the exclusive party?

13:25

Tommy: Yeah, I'd love that. Well, it could be the first, first outing that we'll only be allowed to have.

13:32

Josh: Butterbean says, leave the funny stuff to Tommy.

13:35

Tommy: Yeah. Just like when I asked your dad how you get dick from Richard.

13:39

Josh: From Richard. That was a bit fucked. You've mentioned that a lot. Brooke also says, I like the plants in the background. It's a nice touch. Seb, how much do you reckon you've spent on plants?

13:49

George: I haven't spent anything.

13:51

Tommy: Oh, there, Mum and Dad. I did think when I was there, I was like, this kid has brought them all from upstairs because upstairs there's not much going on, nothing.

14:00

George: No, they're actually— I think I bought the palm from Bunnings and then the rest Mum. I bought.

14:08

Tommy: Yeah, it's a good probably $900 in there.

14:15

George: Nah, I reckon it's less than $300.

14:19

Tommy: Less than $300?

14:20

George: Less than $300. Yeah.

14:21

Tommy: I mean, here's some content. Where'd you buy them from? Because that's a life hack. Yeah.

14:25

George: Also, Bunnings has good ones that are cheap. And then there's this place in Kew, Garden Store Kew, I think it's called, but they're quite expensive but good plants.

14:37

Josh: Yep.

14:37

Tommy: Could have got it on text because that was boring.

14:41

Josh: No, I appreciate it.

14:43

Tommy: No, it's good. Anyway, I mean, Josh, you've really— like, I'm going out tomorrow. I'm shooting. Mate, Mr. 97 and I are filming. It's, uh, you are really in that self-quarantine.

14:56

Josh: Yeah, well, I went out today to the post office to get my black beans. I've now got all beans. Which is good. I had to reverse out the back to get them because it was too heavy for them to give over the counter. But not to harp on the amount of beans that I have. Yeah, but the exciting thing at the moment, to be honest, is that what people are encouraging is that we should be going out and supporting local businesses. And so food delivery is what everyone is suggesting. And so not only am I socially distancing, which is very much my jam, but now I'm telling Bri, look, for the economy, we need to have some Uber Eats.

15:48

Tommy: Yeah, no, I see what you're saying. I mean, Dodge and I had a coffee couple of days ago, and I kind of made it as my last coffee at this place before going remote. And I said to Dodge, we need to go. Like, I was walking past another cafe. I was like, I just want to buy a croissant. I mean, this is like saying I wanted to help somebody, but I didn't help them. I said to Dodge, I want to buy a croissant from here just to help them, you know, don't even want the croissant, but I'd eat it.

16:18

Josh: But I didn't do it.

16:19

Tommy: So did you? No, but I did the same thinking. On the coffee at the other place. I was like, get one last one.

16:26

Josh: I saw the homeless guy that's outside of The Hive in Abbotsford who normally puts up signs telling people what he wants to eat and they go in and get it.

16:38

Tommy: Yeah, he's got usually, it's like an iced coffee. Iced coffee, yeah.

16:41

Josh: So, he had 4 iced coffees. Like, people must be thinking, fuck, this guy. I guess it's a really nice, easy gesture when you're feeling a bit fucked and you want to add to the system, you know, feel like you're doing your bit.

16:58

George: Yeah.

16:58

Josh: Just, you know, give for a bit of karma, give the guy an iced coffee. But this guy's going to shit his pants if he has any more. It's just too much.

17:06

Tommy: Iced coffee.

17:07

George: Yeah.

17:08

Josh: Or diabetes. It's a nightmare.

17:11

Tommy: When was the last time you bought an iced coffee? Well, like, and I'm talking not that sort of—

17:17

Josh: Well, the last time I got an ice break was actually in 2007. 2008. Oh, sorry, no, 2007. And it was, I was on a walk, it was a hot day, decided to get an iced coffee, an ice break, got a crazy rash, went to the hospital. Turns out I just had heat rash.

17:36

Tommy: It wasn't— you thought it was from there?

17:38

Josh: Yeah, I thought it was. I thought I had a reaction to it. Um, uh, Gemma's, um, uh, talking about the, uh, the Scout Hall. She's saying, uh, I hope it's in a Scout Hall. That really takes me back in regards to Seb's party.

17:53

George: Yeah, she said she's going to get so weird at the 21st.

17:57

Tommy: What does that mean?

17:58

George: I don't know.

17:59

Tommy: What does getting weird mean? Please elaborate, Gemma.

18:03

Josh: Do you know what I nearly bought at Officeworks the other day? And I feel like Scout Hall sort of triggered the thought. Megaphones. They had all these megaphones. I thought it would be would have been quite funny for me to have a megaphone whilst sort of like socially distancing.

18:24

George: Yeah.

18:24

Josh: To be able to like, even I've seen so many things go down on Smith Street near my house.

18:32

Tommy: As in just shops, not in this climate?

18:34

George: No, no, no, no.

18:35

Josh: Sorry. No, going down as in like people getting fucking like the ram raid at Macpac or shit like that.

18:40

Tommy: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

18:41

Josh: But if I had a megaphone that I could then put a siren on So if I could go out, like, imagine me on my balcony anytime something's happening, get on the megaphone. It would scare the fuck out of anyone. Yeah.

18:52

Tommy: Oh yes, it would. It'd be a bit weird.

18:56

Josh: They, uh, the first day of having Bodhi at home.

19:00

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, lucky Amy wasn't working while at home, and so she's taken some, some of the grunt work. As in 95% of the grunt work while I've been, yeah, down here doing my thing.

19:17

Josh: And so what is it going to look like? Have you had the discussion with Amy around split of duties? What's the—

19:26

Tommy: Well, it's just this week we need to see out. This week can be in the bin, to be honest, and then we just pick it up from another week and maybe recycle. Well, I think there's a difference between the weekend feeling in this time and the weekday feeling. And so we've only experienced one weekend before it got pretty weird and got a bit chaotic. And so I think just to get your affairs in order, you know, our accountant sent us a document that was talking about— I saw somewhere in there about a will. I was like, oh God, I don't have a will. I don't have any of that shit. Do you have a will? Does any of you— Mr. 97, have you got a will?

20:10

Josh: Sevs would have a will.

20:11

George: Nah, I thought about it the other day though.

20:13

Josh: Of course you did.

20:14

George: I was like, I'll dial one in. I've got my beneficiary set up on super.

20:20

Tommy: Who is it?

20:21

George: His mum.

20:22

Josh: That's nice. So, Sevs, you're, um, uh, To be honest, we were talking to the accountant, that whole you putting 50% of your salary away for super, really problematic, no joke, in regards to getting these tax credits.

20:39

George: Really?

20:39

Josh: Because it looks like you get paid fuck all.

20:43

Tommy: So when you get— so what you're pulling is the money we would usually pay for payroll tax.

20:50

Josh: It makes sense because it's so low because it's going into your super and your super doesn't get taxed. It got to a point where we were looking at optimizing. It's like, look, it's only $60 that you guys are going to get. So we ended up just deciding to leave it. But you know, you're very— for a 20-year-old, you've got shit dialled in. You got your super, sort of you're building up that. And then on the weekend, you got me connected up with an investing app. Yeah, called Self Wealth, which I'm all in. And now I feel like I'm a trader. I feel like I'm going to start wearing a suit and, you know, start yelling out, you know, sell, sell, sell.

21:33

Tommy: Imagine Wall Street at the moment, like the financial district. I could— yeah, I mean, New York is completely quiet. It's on lockdown.

21:41

Josh: And so, Sevs, give us a market update. How's the— how's How the market's looking?

21:47

George: Look, it's not great. Look, from Feb 20 till March 16th, they've dropped about 23%.

21:59

Josh: Is this your—

22:00

George: is this yours? That's the ASX. Mine's dropped 13%.

22:03

Josh: Okay.

22:04

Tommy: Australian Stock Exchange. Who— I mean, who's been hit the worst? Airlines. What's Qantas's— share price because they're there. That's the— I mean, they're getting the bailout. Yeah.

22:17

Josh: Well, the interesting thing too, TJ, is this app actually, it's like a social network. So Seb's gave me his username and I could search him and you can follow to see how they're going. And so the way that it's sorted is it's like a ladder and it shows you all people performing really well. It's like, you know, all up and it's like up by 40%. Seb's got me to look at his and it's just like It's just like it's going down.

22:42

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, hold in there, mate. Long-term investments for you, son. What's Qantas?

22:48

George: So I've gone from $6.30 to $2.53.

22:53

Tommy: That's a massive two-thirds have dropped. Yeah, I would— I want it like, I want one up in the 50s dropping down to the under the 10s. Yeah, single digits.

23:03

Josh: Is there a way, Seb, of finding out who's the Who's done the best? So Zoom's obviously done really well.

23:09

Tommy: Yeah. Oh yeah.

23:12

George: Let me see.

23:13

Tommy: What about— yeah, I mean, any— I mean, this is where it starts getting dark, just thinking about— I mean, we're doing this to companies that have a lot of money. I wonder what Kogan— kogan.com— Kogan— I wonder if their share price— yeah, yeah, he sold off. They've gone up from the start of, um, it's gone down.

23:37

George: Monday he was at $8 and now he's down to $4. He's hard.

23:41

Josh: But what does it all mean? I don't fucking understand it, to be honest.

23:43

George: It'll just go back.

23:44

Tommy: That's a month. Yeah, from today it's gone up, you know, 60 cents or something. Yeah, I mean, tough times, guys. Tough times. Hello, enjoying the show's consistency in the unpredictable new normal.

23:58

Josh: Who's that from?

24:00

Tommy: It's Leah.

24:01

Josh: Hey, Leah. Hey, Leah.

24:03

Tommy: I mean, our account— who said to us today, you know, the show, and she's like, mate, the show must go on. Show must go on.

24:10

Josh: Yeah. I mean, it's a— I'm very grateful that we can, we can still do it. And also that it's for us. All we have to do is like self-isolate or whatever, social distance, whatever they call it.

24:25

Tommy: Yep.

24:25

Josh: And get food delivered. It's not like we're fucking nurses or doctors or—

24:32

George: Yeah, you're not on the front line.

24:33

Josh: Yeah, definitely. Like, I am far—

24:36

George: Where last night?

24:36

Josh: I'm not on the back line. I reckon I'm not even in the arena. I'm not in this stadium. I think I'm probably outside of the stadium, definitely.

24:46

Tommy: But you're in another dimension watching on a fucking couch.

24:48

Josh: Yeah, I'm watching KO. Actually, Fuck, good riddance to KO. Not sponsoring the, the daily talk show. What are they showing at the moment? I would have nothing to, um, to show, dude.

25:01

Tommy: I mean, there's so many reruns, boxing matches, there's lots to show from the past. But that is a, that is a real problem. The AFL haven't even come out and given— so the first match in the Australian Football League, Aussie Rules, Football League, Australian Rules. Uh, remember how I got in trouble last time for saying it the wrong way? No, AFL, Australian Football League. Yeah, they haven't announced whether or not— haven't even said they're going to do it or not tomorrow, play the first game of the season, which it's 5:51 PM. The game is in less than 24 hours or around 24 hours time.

25:43

Josh: And they haven't really get around the footy though. Like, if it was on at the moment, I'd put it—

25:47

Tommy: it will be if it— well, if it's on, it's— it'll be on tomorrow at 7:25 PM, and that's the first game of the season. Hang on, here we go. AFL clubs feeling the pinch, um, they're acting to mitigate costs. They haven't— yeah, you know, the, the players, if they— I was looking at— listen to the NFL— NRL league, so the National Rugby League, aren't they? Well, they were going ahead, but in the contracts of these players, if the clubs and the league suffer severe revenue losses, it means that they can lower salaries for some of these players. So if you're on $500 grand, you're getting that cut, bringing back down to earth.

26:35

Josh: I've got a— thank you guys for dropping off all the letters and the envelopes. I'm finishing them off. Today, there's a lot. There's 60 a lot that we're sending. So that's happening. We did have some messages with like, how do I become a VIP Gronkh? Yeah, I didn't want to get— is it narky? Is that what's the word? Get a bit angry? Narky?

26:58

George: Aggro?

26:59

Josh: Narky?

27:00

Tommy: Keep saying words in their words.

27:02

Josh: Narky a word? Yeah, not narcotics. What does narky mean?

27:05

Tommy: Yeah, bad temper.

27:07

Josh: Not getting narky when people say, oh, I love the show, I want to be here. How do I, like, what is this? It's like, I want to say, mate, we spoke about this for a whole fucking week. You don't know about the VIP Gronkh program. You're not a VIP Gronkh and you're just trying to get stickers, you know. But I didn't, I just like, you know, put the phone down. But no, so we're sending out the stickers. It's good. Which is exciting.

27:34

Tommy: I was— I looked at it last night. I helped stick on some of those stickers onto the envelopes and some names I haven't seen before. Yeah, pumped that you're listening and are a VIP.

27:45

Josh: A what?

27:46

Tommy: A VIP.

27:48

Josh: You almost sound like Glyn then. Yeah, the Aussie-American sort of accent. Oh, very good. Okay. Well, I think Yeah, we've got Shanna Kennedy next week. She's coming on the show. I've just been chatting to her on email. She's going to do it remotely, which is great.

28:09

Tommy: She's been working remote for years.

28:11

Josh: 20 years.

28:12

Tommy: OG remote worker.

28:15

Josh: And yeah, it's going to be— I'm actually enjoying that. Like, from a technical point of view, this is the easiest way. It's funny how many people are posting on Instagram their remote working video calls.

28:33

Tommy: Yep. It's a thing, dude.

28:35

Josh: Like, it's become— like, you wouldn't take that many selfies if you're going out. No, like, there is definitely—

28:41

Tommy: it will finish, and then we'll still be here because we're always doing this show. But I'm looking forward to some food that my wife's just cooked. So who's the lucky boy?

28:50

Josh: You are. And, uh, Seb, any emails?

28:52

George: Yeah, we got an email from Mark. Hey, fellow Gronks, since yesterday we're in lockdown here in Switzerland trying to ride out this bloody thing. I should have been on the plane to Melbourne right now, funnily enough, but that wasn't to be with everything that's happening. Crazy what is going on right now, but I think it's important that we look out for one another and show solidarity in these times. Maybe obvious, yet important. Listening to your show lifts the spirit. Stay safe, guys, and keep up the great work. Best wishes, Mark.

29:24

Tommy: Yeah.

29:24

Josh: Seb, any feedback? Was it— Too corona heavy, that content, or were you okay?

29:29

George: No, I think we balanced it out a little bit.

29:31

Josh: And as in Mark's email specifically, because he never said coronavirus.

29:36

George: No, I think it's great.

29:39

Tommy: I think we get it.

29:40

George: It's not too heavy. It's good. Okay, I'm happy.

29:44

Tommy: I'm happy with it.

29:46

Josh: And so you can email us, hi@thedailytalkshow.com. Give 97 some content ideas. Yeah, because so far he said he wants to talk about the web stream.

30:00

Tommy: And you can also write the in, so you can be like, hey guys, I got this one for you.

30:05

Josh: So you give me—

30:06

Tommy: I mean, do his job for him. Make it like, give him, uh, hey everyone, I was just reading recently, you know, like give him the segue and then the, the bit of content. Yeah, right.

30:20

Josh: Yeah, any other things you need, Seb, from everyone, do you think?

30:26

George: Now, if you could do those two things, it'd be great.

30:30

Tommy: Love it. Right. All right, homies.

30:32

Josh: Yeah, Seb's internet's gonna be fixed on Saturday. It was actually fine, but your internet's bringing down the team a little bit.

30:39

George: I'm sorry about that. It'll be fixed Saturday.

30:42

Josh: I mean, are you using 4G?

30:43

George: Using— no, no, the 4G is even worse.

30:46

Josh: Surprisingly, can I just say, the— your home internet— so just saying, when people at home, his family, use the printer, the printer has a cable that pushes on the power button of the modem. And so every time someone prints something, the modem— the internet goes off.

31:06

Tommy: Yeah, we get out of town.

31:08

George: It's, it's because it's pressed in, it's like holding down the power button. And so if you move the printer then it knocks out the panel.

31:14

Josh: Can you use a bit of gaffer tape or something? No, no, no.

31:18

George: I mean, you could.

31:19

Josh: Can you take a photo of that? Can you demonstrate that on an Insta story, please?

31:24

Tommy: And if there's ever a time to get your home set up, dialled in, it is now. Like, get it sorted.

31:30

Josh: We're going to get a SodaStream at home.

31:32

George: That's good.

31:33

Josh: But this is how doomsday I was on the weekend. Bree and I were looking at them and she wants to get the nice one. And I'm like, it requires electricity.

31:42

Tommy: Does it really?

31:43

Josh: And I'm like, yeah, so it's an automatic pump.

31:47

George: Ah, you don't need that.

31:48

Josh: And so my point is, I'm like, if we lose power, yeah, fizzy water.

31:52

Tommy: Nah, get the automatic pump because I regret us getting it at the office, the one that we did, because my brother's got the automatic one and it is so good.

32:01

Josh: Do you reckon I get the silver one?

32:03

Tommy: Silver one? Uh, he's got like the gunmetal Gray, darker looking one. It looks great. Hey, Steve, I'm going to send you some printing. Can you just get one run sheet for tomorrow printed off?

32:13

George: Thanks, bud. Yeah, sure.

32:14

Tommy: No worries. Don't take the house down. Don't wipe out the grid of the house from printing.

32:19

Josh: All right, I'm going to get a whiteboard as well, an easel, I think, soon. Yeah, really dialling it in. Just a little bit of sort of human Periscope style. All right, so Daily Talk Show, hi@thedailytalkshow.com is the email address. Steve, have we had any reviews on Apple Podcasts?

32:32

George: Got a review from hello my name is Brad 2019. Lean in.

32:36

Josh: Hello Brad.

32:37

George: Was the subject. You guys get it. I want to paint Josh for the Archibald Prize in 2021.

32:43

Josh: Oh, that's nice. Thanks, Brad.

32:45

Tommy: 1.5 metres away, Brad.

32:47

Josh: I'm up for it. I love it. I wonder why. I don't completely understand why.

32:52

Tommy: Just because you're a quirk, dude. You're a quirky dude.

32:56

Josh: Do you think?

32:57

George: Yeah, I don't get the painting bit, but he's just a painter.

33:02

Tommy: Wants, wants a quirky subject for the artist.

33:04

Josh: Is your brother a painter?

33:06

Tommy: Well, I hope, I hope he's not. I hope he just wants to get you nude so he can paint you.

33:09

Josh: But it doesn't, it's not nude.

33:11

Tommy: I'm, I took that as nude. So I'm joking.

33:16

Josh: Was that another joke? Was that Tommy's joke of the day? Yeah, guys, that can be the segment. It's called Nah, Just Joking. What's for dinner? Quickly.

33:26

Tommy: It smells like and looks shit from afar, like curry, like curry.

33:31

Josh: Yum.

33:31

Tommy: Looks a bit curry-like. So I'm going to get stuck into that right now.

33:35

Josh: Awesome. All right. See you tomorrow, guys. Have a good one. Stay safe. Love you all. And remember, we're all, we're all going down together. So let's do it in style. See ya.

33:46

George: See ya, guys.
