At a glance

From this episode’s transcript.

  • –Western Australia had implemented strict internal lockdown zones during COVID-19, with police issuing fines to people crossing zone borders.
  • –Hand sanitiser needs a sufficient percentage of alcohol to kill viruses, as antibiotics and some disinfecting methods target bacteria, not viruses, which caused confusion in early-pandemic memes.
  • –Diagnostic swabbing (e.g., for coronavirus) involves different swab types for mouth, nose, and other body sites, and can be uncomfortable depending on the practitioner's skill.
  • –The team was experimenting with virtual social formats during lockdown, including a recurring 'Hour of Power' dance session and planned Friday night drinks via Zoom with community members.
  • –Producer Mason ('Mr. 97'/Sevs) was teased throughout for having an apparent crush on guest Grace Peris, including sending her a photo also shown to Josh.

Questions this episode answers

What is Grace Peris's background and why was she on the show?

Grace Peris is a member of the show's community ('gronks') based in Perth who holds a postgraduate Master of Infectious Disease degree; she was brought on to discuss coronavirus-related topics like testing, hand sanitiser, and lockdown rules in WA.

Why do viruses require different disinfecting methods than bacteria?

According to Grace Peris, antibiotics are designed to kill bacteria and don't work on viruses; killing a virus requires things like a sufficient percentage of alcohol in hand sanitiser.

What happened with Tommy's penis pump from a previous episode?

Tommy's mother, Joanne Jackett, called in to leave a statement denying she threw out the penis pump (a Kris Kringle gift from 'Brad'), leaving the mystery of who disposed of it unresolved.

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 658.

0:08

Tommy: What's happening, guys? What's going on? Hi, Grace! So down there, you're below me.

0:13

Josh: We've got Grace in the building.

0:14

Tommy: Hi, welcome! Little April Fools! We were just keeping people on their toes, so we're, we're a little late. It is one of those things, Josh. I'm so confused by the car. Like, it always gets me when I'm in your car, which won't be for another 6 months at least. Uh, it's— you guys run 10 minutes fast, is that right?

0:38

Josh: Yeah, yeah, it's about 7 minutes, I think, to be specific.

0:42

Tommy: I mean, but that's consi— is that sort of preempting that you're always late, so you need to sort of somehow be ahead of time?

0:49

Josh: Bree is always— she likes being early to everything, which Whereas I'm an optimistic person when it comes to how long things will take.

0:58

Mason: Yeah.

0:59

Josh: But I like to be early as well. Grace, are you an early or late to shit?

1:05

Grace: I'm early and all my friends know it as well. Like, they know I'll turn up like 5 minutes before I'm meant to be there.

1:11

Josh: So, what about flights? If you were on an international flight, how long would you...

1:18

Grace: I'll probably get there like 2 and a half hours before the flight.

1:23

Josh: Okay.

1:24

Tommy: You know, it's not that expensive. It's just like shooting down to Melbourne, just, you know, a bit nervous.

1:31

Grace: Yeah, when that happens. Yeah.

1:35

Tommy: Uh, so Grace is one of our gronks that's holding down the fort in the lockdown in Perth. Can you get out of the state or you can't? It's locked down.

1:43

Grace: Um, No, we're even locked into certain zones in WA. So, there's like 9 different zones. So, we can't go down south or up north or anything. And there's police at like the borders stopping us and giving us fines if we try to get out.

1:59

Tommy: Horrible if you're a criminal in these times. Like, that's your sort of main go-to. So, like, judge, trial.

2:05

Grace: Yeah, that's what I've been thinking.

2:06

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, yeah, you're out. You're out, mule. I spoke to my mom, guys, uh, this afternoon, and she said yesterday's episode was hilarious. And we also got some feedback from Craig Harper, who really enjoyed the episode. Mum specifically, uh, wanted to sort of just touch on, uh, the penis pump content that we turned out, because I did— I haven't spoken to mum about this, uh, since the— since it all went down, since my penis pump went missing.. It was a Kris Kringle. Don't think I just buy these things. It was given to me randomly. But, uh, guys, I have an official statement from Joanne Jackett, and here it is.

2:55

Unknown: Tommy, I'm ringing apropos of the penis pump that you were talking about in your podcast the other day, and I remember that vividly, that Christmas morning where you received that present from Brad. So anyway, I wanted to just let you know that it was not me that got rid of it. I never wanted to see it again. I don't know where it is.

3:22

Tommy: Oh my God, this is, this is the new, uh, Tiger King documentary.

3:28

Josh: Who, who, who's got this?

3:30

Tommy: Carol's husband? Who threw out my cock pump? Seriously, I want to know. Seriously. Who's throwing out my cockpup?

3:38

Josh: It's annoying. The—

3:40

Tommy: I'm going to have to get Dad. I'm going to call Dad.

3:44

Josh: Did you, TJ, did you share a lot of stuff with your brothers growing up?

3:49

Tommy: If you're in a roundabout way asking if I shared my cockpup, absolutely not.

3:53

Josh: No, no, no.

3:55

Tommy: No. Well, I was the little brother, so it was always me wanting this, you know, wanting my other brother's things. Like there's a— There's a photo of me. It was my brother's probably 12th birthday, and he's got all these boys in this room watching— oh, sorry, playing Nintendo. And you just see me at the window just like this, like just wanting to get in. And so, no, I mean, I got a lot of things, but I also stole. I was a bit of a rat. I'd get into their drawers and, you know, sniff about.

4:28

Josh: So was that— you were a console family? What gaming system were you using? Was it Nintendo?

4:34

Tommy: I grew up Nintendo, uh, like the full first Nintendo with the Duck Hunter started there. What was that? That was like a— and then it went to Nintendo 64. No, no, dude, this is many years before that. Like the box, it was like, you know, the full cartridges, like twice the size of the Nintendo 64.

4:53

Josh: We had a Sega Mega Drive.

4:56

Tommy: We went all of them, but it was all Nintendo stuff. And then Nintendo 64, then PlayStation. But then I like lost total interest, and, and like I'm losing interest in this conversation right now.

5:06

Josh: No, I want to know that. No, Sevs, did you play games?

5:10

Mason: Only, um, PS3 was the first console I think that I had, and it was FIFA, COD, uh, yeah, driving, Gran Turismo, another driving game.

5:25

Tommy: Look at that, guys, Grace is impressed. Grace is impressed by all of our stories.

5:33

Josh: Grace, what did you have? Did you have a PlayStation? Mason, do you still have a PlayStation? Now, that would really be impressive if you still got it.

5:43

Mason: No, I sold it.

5:44

Josh: Oh, no.

5:47

Grace: We've got one, actually. We've got a PS4, but don't use it.

5:50

Josh: Okay. And so, what did you grow up on? Like, what did you play growing up?

5:55

Grace: We had a PS1 for ages, and then Mum didn't allow my brother and I to update it. So, we had a PS1. So we would just go down to my cousin's and play PS2, PS3 down there. And it was FIFA, the AFL games, the driving games, but I was always left out of those and the boys just played while I just sat there and, you know, chatted with them.

6:19

Tommy: There is one game, I don't know if even you might, maybe your brothers were well into sport, Josh. But there was a game where you rolled out a little sort of carpet oval and you had this sort of ball bearing, sort of a thick, It's a metal ball and you dropped it down this little slope and you'd play cricket and there'd be little keepers that would have like their feet moulded. So, if it went to them, it would go into their legs. But that was nostalgic. Even thinking about that. There's been a heap of content online of people rolling out their old games from before the coronavirus. I think it'd be fun.

6:56

Josh: I think we could even start a bit of a, like a LAN party, like a virtual LAN party where we could all play games.

7:04

Tommy: Let's just keep it to your book club, right? Before we—

7:07

Grace: Oh yeah, when's that starting up?

7:09

Josh: Well, the funny thing, I actually, I said, let's not talk about the book club for a second, but the on the game thing, Bri said she was wanting to order a new couch. I said, okay, we can get a couch, but can I get a PlayStation? And she brought up, which is very fair, that she's like, why every single time I want to buy something, do you think that that means that you need to get something? And it did sort of point out the fact that I'm a bit of a baby.

7:37

Tommy: Can I just ask what's going on with your couch? You have a lovely couch.

7:40

Josh: Well, Bri thinks— Bri doesn't think it's deep enough.

7:44

Mason: It also makes a squeaky noise, doesn't it?

7:47

Josh: Yeah, but she's— She put it on Gumtree, which I think is—

7:51

Tommy: I could have bought this.

7:52

Josh: I might—

7:53

Tommy: What do you think?

7:54

Josh: Well, yeah. So, it's still very good. We could negotiate offline.

8:00

Tommy: Do you know how much it is that it's listed for?

8:06

Josh: No, I don't know. Bree?

8:08

Tommy: Is it still up?

8:09

Unknown: Bree?

8:11

Josh: I think she's gone to get food. We're having steak tonight, I think. Anyway, we've got people writing in on the comments.

8:19

Tommy: What are we saying?

8:20

Josh: What are people saying?

8:22

Mason: Gemma's saying, OMG, yes. Hello, I'm late, but I'm here for this.

8:28

Tommy: Guys, sorry, I found the— I found the couch on Gumtree.

8:32

Josh: Oh really?

8:33

Tommy: I found it for $700. $700? Jesus. Originally paid $1K. Grey Marl couch purchased on Temple Webster. Selling because we've decided we'd like a smaller couch in our space.

8:48

Josh: I think we want it to be bigger.

8:51

Mason: Well, that's near new 3-seater couch and ottoman.

8:54

Tommy: Yeah, pick up from Collingwood only.

8:57

Josh: Yeah, it's very annoying.

8:58

Mason: What else is pre-selling?

9:00

Josh: No, that was it.

9:01

Mason: And she told me—

9:03

Josh: and we've already got someone scamming us. Uh, wow. Emma asks, uh, does this mean that, uh, we're going to have Danielle on the show? No, the reason why we have Grace on the show is, uh, because of your— what you studied. Now, Sevs has already told me that I can't lean in too much, like he's He's always like, you're not allowed to. He said like, she's not like a doctor, you can't ask all these questions. I was like, stop playing down that Grace is like—

9:34

Grace: I told him to tell you that. I was like, don't ask me too many hard questions.

9:38

Josh: And so, Josh, can you bring up her lower third of infectious disease expert? What did you study?

9:50

Grace: So, my postgraduate degree was a Master of Infectious Disease.

9:56

Josh: Okay, very good. And so, tell us about it.

10:02

Grace: Oh, gosh. Well, it was a 2-year course, had to do a thesis on it, and we kind of did a bit of everything.

10:09

Josh: How many words?

10:11

Grace: It wasn't— it was a page count, so it was like less— had to be less than 50 pages.

10:16

Josh: Oh, they had a minute? Like, oh, that's good. Less? Yeah. So you could have done one?

10:20

Grace: Less than 50. I could have done— I was thinking of just putting in like a photo, like, you know, picture tells a thousand words. But, haha. But yeah, so less than 50 pages. So that was interesting. But then we kind of did little bits of pieces like bacteriology, parasitology, like public health and food microbiology. So, a little bit of everything, yeah.

10:48

Tommy: I guess first question is, is love the most infectious disease? I saw that on a meme. Love how you cut to it. I saw that on a meme today. I was like, oh, that's funny, but it's not a disease.

11:05

Grace: Could be, some people might say it is. We didn't study it though, so.

11:11

Josh: And so, when you saw the coronavirus stuff? Like, what do you— where do you geek out when you're looking at all this stuff?

11:19

Grace: I'm really interested in the numbers side of things, like the statistics around the, you know, the countries and their deaths and their cases. Unfortunately, that's kind of what I prefer, as opposed to the virus and how it enters the body and how it replicates and everything. So, yeah.

11:38

Tommy: I thought you were going to say as opposed to like the survival and, you know, the good story. It's like, you like that. Hard death count, you know.

11:46

Grace: Yeah.

11:46

Tommy: Just love that Italian footage of the morgues, you know.

11:50

Josh: I actually, I have— Yeah, it's pretty heavy. Sorry about that. No, I've got a question. You might not know the answer, but I do remember, do you remember? It feels like a couple of few weeks ago there were these memes going around being like, guys, you're so dumb. Like the washing or using hand sanitiser or whatever can't get like— this is a virus, it's not bacteria. Do you remember? Do you guys remember these memes?

12:19

Grace: Yeah.

12:20

Josh: What's the deal? I don't understand them because I feel like we're just—

12:24

Grace: Yeah, well, it just depends what you're trying to kill. Like, you're trying to kill a virus rather than bacteria. People were taking antibiotics, but they don't really work on viruses. So, similar thing, like you need a percentage of alcohol in your hand sanitiser to kill the virus.

12:40

Tommy: How much? Because, uh, Gemma Watson's paws. So is Gemma Watts immune based on alcohol?

12:48

Grace: Yeah, definitely, definitely. You'll be fine.

12:51

Tommy: Hey, here's a fun fact. Um, I think it was Louis Vuitton have, uh, turned one of their, um, perfume factories into a hand sanitizer factory, and they're giving it away for free. To the government.

13:06

Grace: Aren't distilleries doing that as well? Yeah, like some gin distilleries, I think.

13:11

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, shame.

13:13

Josh: Shame.

13:19

Mason: There's something about him changing his, um, who was gin, something into a hand sanitizer thing.

13:26

Tommy: Anyway, he owns the gin distillery we're talking about. No, there it is. But no, I thought Louis Vuitton was a good one. They just cease development of their perfumes.

13:38

Grace: Aren't they also making masks and stuff? Like, some fashion brands are making masks, which I think is pretty cool as well.

13:43

Tommy: 7 grand a mask.

13:45

Josh: Um, Melbourne versus Sydney. 97 was saying that, uh, you were toing and froing.

13:53

Grace: Everything that we say, pretty much.

13:55

Josh: Absolutely. I'm sorry about that.

13:57

Grace: Oh God, I've got to censor it now.

13:59

Tommy: Seriously, no chill, Jock. You've got no chill.

14:04

Grace: Oh God, here we go.

14:06

Josh: So Melbourne versus Sydney, pros and cons. Pros and cons. Melbourne, I'm curious because I know people in WA for whatever reason hate Melbourne and Sydney for the most part. I feel like that's a—

14:18

Grace: no, I feel like Sydney's like a bigger Perth. A lot of us say that. Well, I definitely say that. A lot of my friends say that as well. I prefer Melbourne over Sydney. So, yeah.

14:33

Tommy: Why is that even— like, we don't— you live in Perth. Why is the discussion around Melbourne?

14:38

Josh: She's looking at— you're not looking for— are you looking for work in Melbourne?

14:42

Grace: Well, I did want to move from Perth this year. That was the plan. So, I was looking at a range of different places, including over east and including Melbourne. But also Sydney.

14:55

Josh: What's the deal with labs? So, what is it? Because I see that like in the US they're using all the different labs to do testing. Can you, with your work, does that mean you could eventually be doing like testing and shit?

15:08

Grace: I could do, even in Perth, they, because I work at a hospital at the moment just doing admin and stuff, they've put out kind of like they did like a survey of everyone that works there going, who has clinical skills, who doesn't, who would want to get clinical skills. So, I guess if they need me, then I could do it because I've got diagnostic experience and things like that. So yeah, could do that in Sydney or Melbourne as well. Yeah, yeah, as opposed to Mason.

15:44

Tommy: That vein, absolutely on fire.

15:48

Josh: I feel like I'm asking all the questions. I thought it was like we normally do one for one, but I've done 10 in a row.

15:52

Grace: That's right. Oh gosh, good job.

15:58

Mason: Jen is saying, Jen is saying, Grace, I need to message you later, re-fringe cutting. I've told the boys you've inspired me. I was gonna let mine grow out, but you've convinced me that an at-home job is possible.

16:13

Grace: Yeah, this— hang on, this side's a bit dodgy, but this side's good.

16:18

Tommy: So, oh, one thing Yeah, the, the hairdressing. I don't want to take Bodhi to a hairdresser. Um, I thought there could be— and Josh, I was concerned about your hair as well because you definitely want a Bondi Boost. No, but I'm talking about haircut, like for when it gets, you know, say you're in, you're in, uh, not solitary, but you're in, uh, in quarantine for quite some time, self-isolation, 6 months, your hair will go quite long. I was just thinking about us all giving ourselves, or our partners giving us haircuts. And one of them is me giving Bodhi a haircut. Do you know what? I actually think Bodhi would look sick with a Tiger King looking haircut.

17:04

Josh: Like a mullet.

17:05

Tommy: Like a little sheep.

17:06

Grace: Mason's doing that, aren't you?

17:09

Unknown: Oh yeah.

17:09

Tommy: Growing it out. Yeah, are you growing it out, Mason? You gonna go mullet?

17:15

Mason: Ah, look, yeah, no, I don't know about a mullet.

17:18

Tommy: No, no, but definitely I think we could, um, get Bodhi a mullet. So there's— Amy's going to come home and just be so pissed. Just so pissed.

17:28

Grace: Um, I don't do it while you're young.

17:32

Josh: No, don't.

17:32

Grace: You don't.

17:34

Josh: The, um, you know this, the swab thing that they put all the way in the back of the nostril? What other things do they normally like test with that tool?

17:45

Grace: Um, well, that would be like, um, if you're asking, they might do penis swabs with that.

17:53

Josh: Oh, really? No, I literally wasn't— No, but I mean like actually for the nostril, like the, the actual—

17:58

Grace: It's like a bendable swab, I guess, because with the mouth ones they're just like a stick and you have to like swab the, basically the back of the mouth and like it's really bad.

18:10

Josh: So, what else do they need to test? Like when else would someone be like, "Ah, I want to be tested for this," that they're doing the one like—

18:17

Grace: Up the nose?

18:18

Josh: Yeah, because you know how like some pathologists are really good at getting, drawing blood or whatever, and other people are shithouses. I feel like for a coronavirus, you don't want someone that isn't good at like shoving it because it's like, it looks painful.

18:33

Grace: Yeah, it is pretty painful. But things like any other kind of bacteria that— or like other bacteria that causes pneumonia and stuff like that, that would be living in those areas. So stuff like that, any upper respiratory tract infections that you need to swab for. Yeah.

18:51

Tommy: Guess what have you swabbed for? What have you— I mean, I personally tested on you, but just what you've done for people at uni.

19:01

Grace: We had to do the mouth swab. So like stick it right to the back of your throat and basically like touch the tonsils. Which is quite gross. And then we had to like cough onto a plate and stuff. But I've swabbed all kinds of things, like we did blood, sputum, urine, faeces.

19:18

Tommy: What's sputum?

19:19

Mason: That's the exact same question that I asked.

19:22

Grace: What is sputum? Stuff in your chest. So yeah, when you cough it up, all that kind of stuff.

19:29

Tommy: Why is it called sputum?

19:32

Grace: I don't know why. Someone, one of my friends did say it's Well, because isn't when you taste wine, when you like, you swirl in your mouth and spit out, that's called like sput something. So, I think it's a similar, like it's come from that. So, I don't know.

19:47

Josh: Talking about wine, you had an incident a couple of days ago.

19:54

Tommy: Seriously, Jo? And also, seriously, Mason, what the fuck?

19:59

Josh: Oh, I'm on the FaceTime. What? No, no, no. Sorry. No, the wine thing. No, you spilled wine. No, I was worried for the situation because it's my— It's the worst possible thing that could happen.

20:17

Grace: Yeah, I spilled wine on my laptop and it went black and then didn't turn on, but it's getting fixed, so it's fine.

20:26

Tommy: Is it a work laptop at least?

20:29

Grace: No, no, it's my laptop. But I had purchased AppleCare Plus, so it brings the price down a lot compared to what it would have been.

20:39

Tommy: So it's almost waterproof. What did you— was this Friday night drinks or you just getting stuck into it?

20:48

Grace: This is Sunday night, I think it was. Yeah, Sunday night. Mason?

20:52

Mason: Josh?

20:58

Grace: Monday I took it to the IT place.

21:02

Tommy: Yeah. Well, there's no Apple Store open. What do you, what's going on?

21:05

Grace: No, I know, that's what I was freaking out about. So I Googled Apple Store and then they linked me a place nearby that are authorised Apple Store. So they have taken it in and are currently fixing it. So fingers crossed I get it back in time for Friday night drinks.

21:21

Josh: Jake Nicholson says, Josh over here getting the full FaceTime transcripts.

21:27

Grace: Yeah, I'm gonna have to watch what I say to Mason now.

21:30

Josh: Well, no, I've told— I've specifically told him that you'd like— that it's not on. Like, Bri used to get so pissed because I tell everyone everything.

21:38

Tommy: Yeah, but also Bri probably didn't have some rat just telling Bri, just starting conversation with their conversation. This is not okay, dude.

21:49

Josh: Well, Mason's got like—

21:51

Grace: he's just, he's just trying to see if his chat's cool and stuff.

21:54

Josh: But no, you're the, you're the most interesting thing that's happening to 97. What else are we talking about?

22:00

Tommy: Also, Grace, I actually want to give Sevs some leeway here because Josh cannot— he can't keep shit to himself. You cannot keep a secret. You cannot keep your own secrets. It's, uh, so just—

22:16

Grace: I mean, I'm not one of my friends, so—

22:18

Josh: I just think that it's better, at least it's an open book, like, you know.

22:23

Grace: Yeah, yeah. Podcast coming out tomorrow. My Friends Interrogating Mr. 97. Yeah, we can I'd love that.

22:35

Tommy: So I'm just— I'm actually holding back, just trying to sort of ask you personal questions about growing up, like, uh, like in Perth. Well, no, just like, I'm resisting, uh, interrogating.

22:49

Josh: No personal questions.

22:50

Tommy: Okay, well, that's it. That's, that's how you have a bit of chill, but just not sort of just coming out the gates, right? And I was going to say, Josh asks So he'll push hard. He'll push hard on Mason to get the information. It's an interrogation.

23:05

Josh: Literally.

23:05

Grace: I don't think I sense that.

23:06

Josh: It's not true. It's actually not true.

23:09

Tommy: Nah, I will defend Mason. Can't even be asked.

23:12

Grace: You know how, you know how, Josh, you showed us that photo Mr. 97 sent to you? Yes. He also sent it to me.

23:19

Josh: Oh, really? Now you know why. Geez, you're a bitch. Geez, Mason, you are a real bitch sometimes.

23:28

Grace: Sorry, man.

23:33

Tommy: Um, um, Gem Watts, I will just sort of feed her questions through to you, Grace. What are your intentions with my sweet angel?

23:47

Grace: Um, no, you don't have to get to know her.

23:51

Josh: Yeah, I can't stand watching maths. I'm not going to have it on my show, you know.

23:56

Tommy: This is George Martin. This is comment of the day. Parents fighting over their celebrity son's public relationship.

24:06

Grace: Yes.

24:07

Unknown: I love it.

24:08

Tommy: Oh, goodness.

24:09

Josh: And so, Netflix, what do you think of King Tiger so far?

24:17

Mason: Yeah, Josh, what episode are we up to?

24:19

Josh: We're up to 2 and I don't like it.

24:26

Tommy: Oh my God, it's like you haven't had enough friends, Josh, to have this realisation that you don't lead with it like you know. It's always like, just lie. What are you watching, Grace? What are you watching on Netflix?

24:47

Josh: Well, that seems disingenuous. But yeah, what do you— what have you been up to, Grace? What's happening?

24:54

Grace: Um, I've been watching Tiger King on Netflix. Um, I think we've sorted it out now.

25:04

Tommy: Yeah, great. Josh, I did— I did see the bit in the— in the doco where he loses all his footage, and I was— my ass Yeah, yeah, there was no speech. It was all, it was all, all held in, you know.

25:21

Mason: Speaking of assholes, yeah, we got a message from Lan saying, I've heard a swab is like an anal probe to the nose.

25:35

Josh: Oh, I've never had an anal probe.

25:42

Grace: Um, but it would be very uncomfortable.

25:46

Tommy: Swab, swab down the penile eye is also— would not be, not be cool. I haven't had one, but I haven't heard good things. Uh, I actually once woke up and I'd had something shoved up my bum, and that was in surgery, but it was, you know, like, um, yeah, the pills they put up there.

26:03

Grace: What are they called? I've forgotten, my brain's gone dead.

26:05

Tommy: Party pills? No, but, uh, yeah, I definitely had. And I thought, oh, I can't even feel it. That's a reflection on me or them, you know, smooth operators.

26:20

Josh: So the Melbourne's going back to the Melbourne-Sydney thing, what like pros and cons? Trevor Long loves Sydney, he's always yapping on about that.

26:29

Tommy: Still love Sydney.

26:30

Josh: Yeah, what's your—

26:31

Grace: I feel my friend actually, because I was talking, I've been talking to a friend about this who lives in Melbourne. And they were saying they reckon I would prefer Melbourne because, hey, the footy's there and I'm quite into my footy. So I would just go to all the games basically. Um, and I just, I just like Melbourne better, like the vibe better, good cafe scenes as well. Um, and I have family and friends that live in Melbourne, so I guess that's a pro.

27:00

Josh: Who do you barrack for?

27:02

Grace: I'm a Fremantle Dockers girl.

27:04

Josh: Okay.

27:04

Grace: Yeah. Mason, who do you barrack for?

27:09

Tommy: I follow footy.

27:10

Josh: Yeah, Fremantle Dockers. You fucked up. This is why I need to be on the call. You're a fucking idiot. Oh my God. TJ, TJ, can you, can we all agree?

27:23

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

27:24

Josh: If you don't follow, you just say I don't follow that closely, but Fremantle, I do like their colours.

27:30

Grace: Fuck me dead. Yeah. He needs some tips, guys.

27:34

Josh: Help him out, please.

27:36

Grace: Yeah, I mean, he was trying to flirt with good banter and that.

27:41

Tommy: Good banter. Hey, uh, what's your drink? Friday night drinks this, this coming week?

27:46

Grace: I've actually been thinking about this. Um, I was either going to have the rest of the wine that I had on Sunday night that didn't— that I didn't drink after that, after the spill. Or I, I went down south recently, as in like downtown the Margaret River region in WA, and I bought gin from Giniversity down there. So I was thinking of opening that and having gin and tonics. Yeah, but we'll see. It's— we want a clock.

28:11

Tommy: So what we are sure on is it will be a ginormous glass, something—

28:17

Grace: How good are those glasses though, guys?

28:20

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, it's the size of your hand.

28:22

Josh: Yeah, you could have destroyed 4 laptops with one. Um, what should 97 drink?

28:31

Grace: Oh, um, What's it— what's in the cupboard? Is wine still in there? He hasn't gotten any orange juice, even though I kept telling him OJ and vodka is great.

28:44

Tommy: Yeah, I think we're seeing— what's that, mate?

28:48

Mason: I was about to say, I think we still have some of that same bottle of wine, just a whole new bottle actually.

28:54

Tommy: I think you should, um, can you get— can you go down just for a bit of content? You need to get out of the house. Live a little, mate. Go down to the bottle shop and actually try and find something.

29:04

Grace: FaceTime me.

29:06

Tommy: Yeah, exactly.

29:07

Grace: And then we can pick it out.

29:09

Tommy: But I reckon you should try. Just have the experience of like what it's like to be a normal, I mean, a young adult going into a bottle shop to buy a few drinks.

29:20

Grace: Actually, Tommy, when you said to Queen Gronkh today that all the bottle shops were going to close, Because I'd just woken up, so I was half asleep and you said that and I was like, oh my God, I've got to go down today before it closes.

29:31

Tommy: Gotcha.

29:33

Grace: You got me. Very good.

29:35

Tommy: Has anyone else tried to fool you today?

29:38

Grace: No, but my friend said that her parents said to her, oh, the schools are all opening back next week, so your sisters will be going back to school. And then she was on a Zoom call apparently for her work and was like, guys, like the schools are back next week, how great. And they were like, no, they're not. She's like, oh God, I've just like lost my job. So yeah.

30:00

Josh: Has 97 asked you what you listen to on Spotify?

30:04

Grace: No, he hasn't. I've been waiting for that.

30:07

Tommy: Is that Josh's— is that your classic line or something?

30:10

Josh: No, that's what Sev's, uh, his dating question. He hasn't even used the big guns.

30:17

Tommy: He's saving it. He's saving it.

30:20

Grace: He is.

30:21

Tommy: For real cut-through?

30:22

Grace: I don't even know what's on my Spotify. Bangers.

30:27

Josh: What do you listen to?

30:29

Grace: Oh gosh, this is embarrassing.

30:31

Mason: I don't know what I listen to.

30:32

Josh: I'm sorry, I'm just taking your questions, Ev.

30:34

Grace: I was being honest.

30:37

Unknown: Tomorrow?

30:39

Grace: Well, at the moment I'm going through kind of an old school, like a throwback kind of vibe. So I'm listening to a lot of Jess Mauboy. Been Waiting is a tune. But then I kind of, I'm getting around the disco vibes as well at the moment because my friends kind of like that. So I'm just going off their playlists and things like that. I've got— I Wanna Dance With Somebody. Yeah, ABBA. I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Whitney Houston. Great song. What else do I have on here? I've got Toxic, Britney Spears is a banger. Kips don't lie.

31:16

Josh: Oh yeah, good choice.

31:17

Grace: So when you played that, Josh, with your Hour of Power, I was like, great song, great song.

31:21

Tommy: Yeah, that was great.

31:24

Grace: Is that happening again? Because that was my exercise.

31:26

Josh: Yeah, I, um, yeah, I do want to do that. I was thinking once, because I said to Bree, hey, I'm thinking of doing it every morning, she said no, um, too much. And so I'm gonna do it, um, I'll do it every Saturday. Yeah.

31:40

Tommy: Every Saturday. Saturday vibe. It's great. Indoor, indoor dance.

31:44

Grace: Can we submit songs?

31:46

Josh: Oh, I think that that's where I fucked up. The playlist was trash because I just typed in dance and the problem was I had it sorted by artists. And so, there was too many of the same artists coming up, obviously.

32:00

Grace: Yeah. I bet it was good, though.

32:04

Josh: Russ Keys just said, I think we should kick off Friday drinks with Aunty Gem Q&A with Grace.

32:10

Grace: It's, um, I'm all for it, Queen Gronkh.

32:12

Tommy: Oh, that's good. Maybe we could do like a, um, a kick-on, kick-on drinks where you can stick around and we can just bring, bring a couple of pissheads— I mean, bring a couple of great women into the—

32:27

Grace: I feel like Queen Gronkh and I would get along because we do like to drink and we do like to chat.

32:32

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, please. Can we do this, Josh? We got the tech capabilities.

32:37

Josh: What's the tech? What's the Zoom?

32:40

Tommy: I don't know. Oh yeah, I guess it's on Zoom. Yeah, I forgot. I keep thinking it's through this.

32:45

Josh: Jammie's available.

32:46

Tommy: That's good. Jammie's available.

32:47

Unknown: Perfect.

32:48

Grace: Well, it'll be like 2, 3 PM for me, so that's great.

32:51

Tommy: Great.

32:52

Josh: Yes.

32:52

Grace: And then I could kick on with my friends after.

32:55

Josh: So Seb's is being saying, her phone, what have we?

32:58

Grace: Oh yeah, you're my friends as well. Friends. I don't know.

33:01

Josh: Wait, what the fuck is that?

33:06

Grace: Well, virtual friends. I don't know what I call you guys. Trunks.

33:10

Tommy: Yeah, yeah.

33:11

Grace: But then, yeah, my— sorry, Tommy.

33:14

Tommy: No, you go.

33:16

Grace: I was just saying my group, like, chat and I are usually before— like, we usually go out for drinks on Friday, but we're doing the Friday night drinks via Zoom or Houseparty these days.

33:26

Tommy: What time do they kick off?

33:28

Grace: Um, usually like 5, 5:30. 'cause that's when people start or stop work. Yeah, so I've got plenty of time for my friends here, my interstate friends.

33:39

Tommy: You'll be drinking, what, 6 hours straight, I reckon. It's actually more dangerous than back in the day. One thing, sort of just finishing up, do you— have you got any other podcasts? Do you listen to any others like ours? Just trying to cheque if you're cheating on us.

33:56

Grace: I don't listen to any other podcasts daily. That's for sure. Listen to you guys daily or twice.

34:02

Tommy: Yeah, we're the only— the daily talker out there.

34:05

Josh: So yeah, it's the equivalent of I'm not speaking to any other guys in Melbourne.

34:12

Grace: I mean, true. Um, but no, I listen to you guys daily and then I'm a Shameless fan. That's how I found you guys when the whole Shameless dating thing happened. Yeah, I was like, oh, he's cute. Um, and then what else did I listen to? He's going so red.

34:43

Tommy: Put him black and white now, Josh. Yeah, yeah, drop that saturation on his face.

34:52

Grace: Um, yeah, the Shameless podcast. What else do I listen to? I don't know. I don't know what's happening.

35:00

Josh: For our audio listeners, yeah, I'm just having a field day cutting to Mr.

35:05

Tommy: 97 at moments to see his reaction. So it's well worth watching on YouTube.

35:12

Grace: Sorry, that's all right.

35:14

Tommy: Definitely an after-party kick-on.

35:16

Grace: Yeah. Yeah, after party for sure. I'm all about it.

35:19

Mason: Yeah, Gemma said she was pushing for kick-ons last week.

35:23

Josh: She was actually. So what does kick-ons actually mean in regards to this? Because is it just not kick-on? So it's just longer?

35:30

Tommy: It'd be like, it'd be like a wedding happens and the wedding finishes at 11 PM.

35:34

Mason: It's just an after party.

35:35

Grace: That's it.

35:35

Tommy: You want to kick on after party. And so I guess the location doesn't change. You can change Zoom room if you want, Josh. Yes, sure.

35:43

Grace: Record it.

35:45

Josh: Oh yeah, so no recording.

35:47

Grace: Okay. Yeah, yeah, the kick-on should be like the next day.

35:50

Josh: If I'm there, it's all, it's all recorded.

35:55

Grace: So Mr.

35:55

Mason: 97 will tell you, even if you're not there, it's recorded.

35:57

Tommy: Josh.

35:58

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, we've also got George says, 'Sev's grin ear to ear is to die for.' So cute, says Alexandra.

36:10

Tommy: Now this is beautiful, right? I'm, um, I'm pumped about Friday night. Night drinks again.

36:15

Grace: Me too.

36:16

Tommy: Becoming the thing that we're most pumped about. I mean, tomorrow we've got— can we say who we've got, Josh?

36:21

Josh: Yeah, you got Fordham on the show.

36:23

Tommy: Ben Fordham, our man.

36:25

Grace: It's crazy.

36:26

Tommy: Up on the ground.

36:26

Josh: Is he—

36:27

Tommy: yeah, that is crazy. I'm gonna wear my 'That's Crazy' t-shirt for sure.

36:31

Josh: No, he's, um, he's, he's in, uh, Sydney. I worked with, um, Sophia, uh, his, uh, producer, and we, we got, um, Got him all set up technically so he can do it all at home. He's got his mic and everything. So that's good. Grace, this is an official invite to 97's birthday party.

36:58

Grace: Oh, hang on.

37:00

Josh: Sorry. Go, Seb.

37:02

Grace: Wait, what?

37:05

Mason: I mean, yeah, I guess this is an official invite then. I've already done it, but that's all good. Yeah.

37:10

Josh: Oh, great. Great.

37:11

Grace: I'll fly to Melbourne for the 21st.

37:14

Tommy: Oh, God, mate. I was so pissed.

37:16

Grace: 21st is great.

37:17

Tommy: If that was Josh inviting you before Mr. 1970, I would have been pissed.

37:22

Grace: No, he already— he's done it already, so it's fine.

37:24

Josh: Oh, great. Right.

37:25

Grace: I said, as long as I'm one of the 10.

37:27

Josh: Yeah. Yeah. Well, we still have 8 availabilities, so.

37:33

Grace: Well, perfect. I made the cut. Yay. I'm excited. I'll start looking for an outfit.

37:38

Josh: Yeah, work out your speech. Get your speech started. Your speech.

37:43

Tommy: Is it themed?

37:44

Josh: Oh, is it themed?

37:45

Grace: Um, like, are we doing like cocktail or is it—

37:47

Josh: It's a wedding theme.

37:50

Tommy: We've got 5 months to work it out.

37:54

Mason: Yeah, we got Jess to plan the wedding with us.

37:58

Grace: Perfect.

37:59

Josh: Yeah, yeah. All right, we'll call it the 21st so we can have more people in the room.

38:03

Tommy: I'm gonna go pick up my Beautiful wife.

38:06

Josh: Okay, great. All right, it's a Daily Talk Show. I would definitely suggest you watch this one at youtube.com/thedailytalkshow. Thanks, Grace, for coming on the show.
