Smutty

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 663.

Tommy: What's happening, guys? What's going on? Happy Saturday. One show a day over the weekends, and boy, do I need it after yesterday. Last night, oh well, I woke up. Here's the problem, uh, didn't eat, didn't eat dinner. Went straight to bed. What an amateur move.

Josh: Perfect. No, I didn't eat all day. So like I did the opposite where I polished off the bottle, which wasn't really a plan to be honest, but it ended up sort of landing that way. And, but we ended up having a steak so that I felt like I had something in my tum tum.

Tommy: Oh, you gotta do it. I did a quick check-in and this is yesterday we did Friday night drinks as we do every Friday. I did a quick check-in with some key Gronks, Grace, I asked her. I mean, I could probably ask just Sev's. What am I, stupid? I just messaged her on Instagram. Sev's, how's Grace today? How's she feeling? She hung over?

Unknown: I think she's all right. No, I think she's doing all right. She's fine.

Tommy: I can confirm she was fine by about 7. Got a great night's sleep and ready for round 2.

Josh: 7 PM or good by 7 AM?

Tommy: Good by 7 PM. Because she's over in Perth. But I, um, Shannon, she— did you see her having shots on the camera, on the, um, on the feed?

Josh: That's right.

Tommy: Yeah, she's coming out the other side quite good, you know, just a bit sleepy. Campbell Jam wasn't too bad. George, bit hungover. And I can tell you what, I, I felt a bit, um, bit shit today. I got up at 5 AM and made toast and a glass of milk. And so because I needed something in my stomach, and then I went back to sleep.

Josh: Okay, I mean, it's an interesting— the milk's interesting.

Tommy: No, I don't— you haven't, you haven't been drunk enough, because I think— and for anyone on YouTube, Josh, you haven't been hungover. It's actually, it's a good thing you haven't ever been severely hungover. But there is meals that you go to as a pisshead where the next day it just helps. And so if you've got one of those, write it in the chat on our YouTube Live. But for me, JJ, it's always been cold milk and peanut butter toast. And then if I am feeling a bit better than that, it's poached eggs on toast, which just sounds like breakfast.

Josh: Yeah, it does. It sounds very similar.

Tommy: It is breakfast, but it's just something that I've, yeah. God, I don't miss the days of being hungover though, like severely. Hungover as a little rat. One time— this is just, this is just to scare you from ever getting this drunk, Josh— a mate of mine, Alex, and I, we— he stayed over, and, um, and this is when I lived at home with mum and dad. And so it's this— 10, over 10 years ago. No, it would have been, yeah, 11 years ago. We took turns vomiting out the window.

Josh: It's not ideal.

Unknown: It was—

Tommy: it's so horrible.

Josh: Yeah, I mean, I did feel like a little bit pathetic because I think I went to the point of not being in— normally I'm in control, and I feel like this is the first time where—

Tommy: what, of your dance moves? Or your hips?

Josh: When I shaved my neck.

Tommy: You shaved— oh my God, you did! You shaved your neck on camera.

Josh: Do you know why?

Tommy: On the Kikkons. Um, because it was for content and Bri wouldn't have told you off, or?

Josh: No, I don't know. I'm asking you, do you know why?

Tommy: I thought you were just wanting me to guess. No, I have no idea, but I just remember you had a bowl. Is it like a— what was that, like a cooking?

Josh: Yeah, like it's a metal bowl. That's the one that I use, and I just shave into it. And so you didn't even put it away.

Unknown: Bri had to put it away.

Josh: Really? I can't remember. I think I nearly shaved my head too.

Tommy: Oh yeah, Bri stopped you. That is so great. Um, Campbell said that he was All right, uh, Emma said, yep, I was dusty, I was in bed by 8 PM. Solid. And Paulina said, um, McDonald's is her go-to. George's baked beans for, for a hangover cure. And Campbell says he's now got a moustache after last night.

Unknown: Shannon's, Shannon's go-to is avocado and sourdough toast.

Josh: Yeah, oh, I mean, yeah, that sounds pretty good.

Tommy: Just carbs and fat. Just something to line the tummy, the tum tum.

Josh: And so for people who don't know, the— what do we call them? Push-ons? Kick-ons.

Tommy: Kick-ons.

Josh: Kick-ons. We had our kick-ons and the— I like it. Like, I wasn't even planning it, but I was like, fuck, I can play music. And so I know what Leon Shergren, DJ Shergs, I can see the appeal. I can see that just like, you know, it's the Grant Smiley. I was just fucking "You're Mine." I was doing a bit of that.

Tommy: Yeah, it's the power.

Josh: Yeah, I was, I was, I had so much power. I've already started planning the songs for the next week.

Tommy: No, here's the problem though, you took— we need to work out a way that you can take requests because I don't think Amy's request got put through. It was quite niche, it was Around the Twist, which—

Josh: no, I actually tried to find it on Spotify and then I couldn't find it, and so I just had to move on real quick. Quick.

Tommy: Yeah, no, I know, I get that. You're going to adapt and iterate as you're playing. You can't just stop the music because you like can't find it. But my— it was the last song and my internet on my computer died because it was out the back. It wasn't plugged into power, died on the last song. How upsetting.

Josh: Yeah, I know. Well, I— at the last song I actually worked out that I could change the colour grade of my video and I could add effects. So you really missed out on that.

Unknown: Oh, how good was your dual camera video setup? Oh yeah, you had them like running like, wait, there we go.

Josh: It was like a flip sort of thing. I had both cameras. It was quite fun. Sev, I mean, you said to me before Friday night drinks, you're like, ah, I'm not gonna drink.

Unknown: And yeah, I did think about that.

Josh: And so what was the shift and Because I— before you say anything, I understand. I can relate to being the pushback guy because that's my favourite thing to do is push back. And that's part of the not drinking— the appeal of not drinking is when people say, hey, I'm going to do Friday night drinks. If you want to push back, the best way to push back is I'm not drinking. And so what was your reason for not drinking and what was the thing that turned it all around?

Unknown: Um I don't know if it— I don't know if I actually thought through a proper reason as to why I didn't want to do it. It was more just, I just don't feel like it tonight. I didn't actually, I didn't actually take it that one step further. Okay, I don't want to do it because of this. Um, but I guess what— yeah, I don't know what switched it around.

Josh: I mean, I guess, I guess the, the easy thing is, um Can you just move a little bit more into the middle of your shot? It's giving me the shits. Thank you.

Unknown: It's actually— I'm actually on the very right side of my desk, so it's a little bit annoying. I need to adjust it. But anyway, um, I mean, the, the wine's quite easy to drink. Like, I, I see, I see why you do. I see why you drink it, Josh. Like, it's not— everything else is pretty hardcore, but wine you can just gradually down it.

Tommy: Yeah, but what you'll realize, you keep doing that and then you have that same approach to most other drinks within the alcoholic range.

Josh: I just feel like you can get away with when you're having wine, it feels like a little bit more of a classier occasion.

Tommy: Yeah, definitely. I mean, now that you wear knits and you drink wine, you've got a knit on, don't you, Josh?

Josh: Yeah, I do, yeah, I'm feeling very classy.

Tommy: Nice and warm. I tell you what, there is, it's amazing, you have more time at home, But for some reason I have been wearing t-shirts that I never wear because I'm home more. And it's because I haven't, like I've almost had more washing. Like I haven't been enough gronk and worn the same thing every single day. And so now, yeah, I'm wearing t-shirts that I should have thrown out years ago, which I really should now. It's outrageous.

Josh: Well, my winter wardrobe is actually one that's not too bad. I went through this stage of, There's a site called Mr. Porter, which is like, um, there's a female version, I forgot what it's called. Mrs. Porter? No, that's not Mrs. Porter, it's Mr. Porter. And there's another brand, Sebs, can you look it up please? But they, um, they do really great stuff. And I went through a stage where they— I would just get deliveries all the time of jumpers. And that was when I was like, I got fairly— like, I was the slimmest I'd ever been. And so I just Bought heaps of clothes. Annoyingly, obviously through fluctuation.

Tommy: Through fluctuation.

Josh: Through a bit of fluctuation.

Tommy: I love it. That's what, sorry, say what you're saying.

Josh: Well, they didn't feel that comfortable. And so now I'm probably a week off being able to bring out my good clothes, guys.

Tommy: Oh, Net-a-Porter. Grace, Net-a-Porter is it. Yeah, that's it. Grace is quicker at pulling things up than you, Sev.

Josh: Did you have that answer at least, Evs?

Unknown: I did. I was waiting till you finish your sentence. I could—

Tommy: Okay, great. I was just— I just jumped in. Uh, we've got Darkleft D. He's here from Matt Diavella, I'm pretty sure, watching on live. Uh, welcome, mate. Thanks for joining.

Unknown: George says, can I have a beer next Friday for a bit of a laugh?

Tommy: As in, we actually do.

Unknown: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, we do have a— in, in the laundry, Dad's gone and got a few packs, so there's definitely beer.

Tommy: Is Chairman Rick still, you know, stocking up on items? Yeah, still prepping.

Unknown: We got a vacuum sealer.

Josh: Really? Like an industrial, like a really—

Tommy: Next is a deep freeze, Josh. Next is a deep freeze.

Josh: No, I want him to get a ceviche, like, machine. Like, is it— No, what's the machine? No, what's the thing to be able to cook 60-degree eggs?

Tommy: Oh yeah, I mean, it seems so indulgent at this point, but that's how they, um, is it? So you can do meat and stuff as well?

Josh: Yeah, and so you can, but it's because of the sea, the, the whole seal thing, right?

Tommy: I don't know.

Unknown: Well, I mean, what was exciting today was our potatoes arrived. Oh, our potato seeds got here.

Josh: I didn't realise that they weren't at home already.

Unknown: No, he ordered them online.

Tommy: From Bunnings and they delivered?

Unknown: No, it was, it was from some other website, but they got AusPost, they shipped here.

Josh: You told us that he got them from Bunnings.

Unknown: No, I didn't. I didn't mention he got them from Bunnings.

Josh: No, you didn't, because that's why it was so—

Unknown: I said Mum got a purple cauliflower from Bunnings, but he didn't get— Dad didn't get potatoes.

Tommy: Nah, I just— I don't know why did you bring up Bunnings then, TJ? Because, yeah, sorry, I remember you saying that you went to Bunnings to get the potato seeds.

Josh: That's exactly what I just said. You're not listening, are you?

Tommy: No, I was reading what Simply Green was writing on.

Josh: Yeah, BK's asking, why do you— did you switch from Zoom to Skype? We do all of the video episodes with us through Skype because Skype has a technology integration called NDI, which makes it easy for you to bring in video and manipulate it in different ways. And so hopefully one day Zoom will incorporate NDI. And that is also the reason why when you watch a lot of TV broadcasts, you'll see the Skype logo, because by rights you have to have the Skype logo if you're using Skype.

Tommy: And if Skype feel like putting it on your screen, because sometimes they just— it doesn't get put onto— yeah, I think that was an automatic.

Josh: I think it was just—

Unknown: that was a Windows issue.

Josh: Yeah, yeah.

Unknown: But, um, No, Zoom is way better quality, to be fair.

Josh: It is, isn't it? But the thing is, so we actually run audio in a different way than Skype. So we have our Skype for video, we bring the guys in, and then we call in, um, using another technology for the audio. So it is quite the operation.

Tommy: Do you know anything about this? Real Enkidu has said there's a lot of security issues the last few days. I did see that I got a thing from Zoom this morning about how from tomorrow every meeting is going to be a clo— like, requires a password?

Josh: Well, the thing is that a bunch of gronks have been getting very excited about Zooming, and so they're, they're sharing photos of their Zoom call, and it's the equivalent of, um, they're keeping the call ID in, and that's the equivalent of getting a new credit card and just being— taking a photo of it and saying, got a new credit card.

Tommy: Is it really, or is it the equivalent of people blurring out their number plate on their car in their videos? No, when no one's interested in taking their number plate or doing it.

Josh: There's a big difference. You can't just like— what are you going to do with the number plate? You can do a lookup from a public perspective, but you're not—

Tommy: that was my whole point. That was my whole point, that people think it's a big thing, but what are people doing with your—

Josh: they could enter the meeting.

Tommy: I'll probably just be Hamish Blake or some weird unit. I mean, a comedian or a weirdo.

Josh: Who was telling— I think Scott Tweedy was telling us about David Dobrik, who took a photo and had 1,000, like 1,000 people end up in his Zoom call.

Tommy: Oh, that's funny. Like, did he— I mean, do we put them up? I guess we do. I mean, we had a lot of people sharing out their Zoom screen last night. I'm just trying to see. Okay, it's in the browser.

Josh: Is it in the browser password, Stevs?

Unknown: Yeah, so when you—

Josh: when you admit—

Unknown: when we set them up we do have to admit them because they're in the waiting room. But there's also— when you, when you go to that URL, there's a password key in that. And so you've got the meeting ID and then you've got a password key. And so if you go to that URL, it's got it all. But if you just had the meeting ID, I think you'd have to still enter in the password. But there's, there's a bunch of stuff around— I mean, it's potentially less— I guess it's security as well, but there's a lot of like privacy stuff around Zoom having ties to sending data back to China. Um, there was stuff around, um, like the way that they've integrated Facebook into it, or sign in through Facebook. Um, it was sending unnecessary data, like personally identifiable data, back to Facebook. Um, and same thing with LinkedIn. So I think they committed to do a feature freeze on all of their updates for the next, like, 6 months or something like that, and they're just gonna, I guess, like knuckle down on fixing all the privacy and security issues that they've had. I think the CEO said that a couple of days ago.

Josh: Well done, says. Well done.

Tommy: That was really—

Josh: no, I actually—

Unknown: I know, I read this on The Verge probably 24 hours ago.

Tommy: I just want to also ask the correspondent, uh, Mr. 97, do you have anything to say on China potentially, um, lying about the numbers of deaths from coronavirus. What do you have to say to that?

Unknown: I mean, I did, I did see an article about that. It's, um, yeah, I mean, it's pretty full-on, isn't it? I would probably— I mean, they, they did it. At least they communicated some information to the World Health Organization. Like, imagine if they didn't communicate anything. So yeah, that would have been regardless. I mean, regardless of if they lied or whatever, I think as long as they did something, then what's better than not doing anything?

Tommy: It's a hard one because we're trying to use the information to, uh, inform our decisions moving forward, right? And so if we think China's all good and bouncing back, but then they had this ginormous death rate from coronavirus, which I don't know based on, you know, them not actually, uh, technically telling the truth, But you then hear this flows across. So daycare is now free in Australia. So it's like, Bodhi, we pulled out of daycare and you had to then unenroll him, which was last week we did that, which means you need to pay another 4 weeks. He can still go until you got to give 4 weeks notice.

Josh: It's like a gym membership.

Tommy: Yeah. And then they've come out and said from Monday the 7th, I think it is, childcare will be free for 6 months. And say, for instance, Bodhi, we can keep him enrolled, which would mean we would normally have to pay, but they'll pay it and you could keep him home anyway. So we could keep him home, he would still have his position, and they would still pay the daycare, which means that the daycare is a business and they need to survive. Um, but here's the thing, like, um Amy's got a group chat with some of the mums from Bodhi's old daycare, and one of them asked in the group chat saying, "I'm thinking about sending little man back to daycare. What do you think?" And then you hear, you know, people sort of start chiming in. One person lives near the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne and said that they've just turned the car park into a makeshift, you know, hospital where they're going to be— they're expecting to take a lot more people in the coming weeks. And then you start thinking, oh fuck, you know, do I listen to that? And so it's, it's hard to decipher the information, especially when it's not clear from the government necessarily as yet. Like, I reckon the, like, the news.com.au numbers are always ahead of what the government are putting out through, like, the WhatsApp group. Or the WhatsApp chat. Yeah, yeah, they always went ahead. But here's the thing, they always get to what the news.com.au say. So it's like basically 8 hours ahead. I don't know what the source of news.com.au's numbers are coming from, but it always gets there within the day, which it's weird. I mean, have you had arguments with people over like, what are the numbers? Nah, nah, nah, I saw these numbers. Nah, nah, nah.

Josh: I reckon so. I went really hard when it comes to all of the news, I was watching all of the press conferences, I was reading every article. And now I sort of feel like, okay, we sort of— now we're just talking about trends. Like, it's literally just the same, like, it's really just the trend that we saw. And so I don't necessarily need to see that number every single day, even though I do cheque our podcast analytics.

Tommy: I mean, there's probably healthier analytics for your mental state. Because they are going up. So it's, um, the increase of download numbers is positive as opposed to increase in coronavirus numbers.

Josh: If you think about, um, a way of managing stress is controlling your controllables. What can you control right now?

Tommy: Uh, it's definitely like, definitely meditation, exercise. Um, they're probably two of the most important things. Food, all that stuff attributes to your mental state in tough times. It really does.

Josh: So do you think reading the numbers, do you feel like you're in control or not in control when you read the numbers?

Tommy: Oh, to be honest, I don't think I'm a good example of someone being affected by the numbers, by that stuff. I think it would really rattle and be the source of anxiety. I cannot pinpoint my anxiety based on the numbers. If anything, I think that they haven't gone— it hasn't gone as crazy as they thought. So it's like, it's actually a relief at seeing the— like they were saying by this time in Australia a week ago, they were saying it could reach 10,000 or 8,000. It's still in the 5,000s. And so it's— yeah, but I know that I think it can be a, it can be a tick or a crutch to be looking at this stuff. And definitely over the last few days, I've, I've slowed down. I went really hard a week ago, but it was amongst so much other uncertainty— uncertainty of, um, things, you know, from a business perspective, personal financial perspective. And so that is the weird thing, like, it has been a source of, uh, a source There's been so much uncertainty from every angle, but some of that is starting to be removed with the announcements the government are making, like the childcare thing, like the JobKeeper program, the money that they're giving to people, businesses, to keep their employees, you know, reaching out and getting reductions in expenses in your life. It's like these things start— they should start to remove some ambiguity in the future. Around certain areas. But then there is—

Josh: you have the options, where do you land? Because I guess like a friction point was around, okay, um, having Bodhi at home was the best option in regards to saving money and things like that. But now that you have to use another filter system, where do you land with it?

Tommy: Well, you need to, uh, well, you make it so— we pulled Bodhi out of daycare, um, still paying him, so it's still a financial implication at the point. But it was, uh, health-wise, and Amy's still working. And so you think, okay, you're just trying to minimise Bodhi's exposure, um, and it's driven financially but also from a health perspective. And then when you— so then it's just reassessing. I don't think it's— in my mind, it hasn't seen— hasn't gone as crazy as somewhere like the UK in Australia. Like, I think the social distancing stuff, from the numbers, looks like it is doing what it was supposed to do— reduce the rate of infection, slow it down, not to get rid of it. But I think it is working. And so it makes me think, okay, Bodhi's probably a low risk. Um, but then there is, there is still the seeing other people. Like I said, the, you know, the mum's WhatsApp group with Amy Seeing some gronk yesterday write like, um, something about sending their kid to childcare and it just be the sure way for you to get coronavirus. So you're— the filter is what is— what's being said in society, what are the facts that you— what do you know to be true, and then it's making this decision personally about Which are the— which— what is the choice I need to make? These are big choices, dude.

Josh: But it's also, I think that's what's hard with parenting is it's like everyone is in such a unique position. So, I don't think you can even— you can't gauge one person's decision and say, okay, based on their decision, I'm going to do this. Because if they don't have— if they're not having to put in a full day's work, then yeah, maybe homeschooling or looking after their kid full time is an option.

Tommy: Yeah, I think I— if, if you're— it's always looking to an alternate situation. So I was about to say, um, if we were in a situation where Amy and I didn't have to work and you— I'd stay home. I'd just— I wouldn't— if I had a holiday house, you'd be down there. You wouldn't— like, you would live down there for the next 6 months. Why would you—

Josh: productive is that though, looking at the shit that—

Tommy: yeah, no, I'm not— that's what I'm saying. I'm saying we're looking an alternate existence that isn't your own, right?

Josh: Your audio is just cooked. Is it? Yeah, yeah. I think your internet may have gone a little bit bad because your video's actually gone bad as well.

Tommy: Do you want me to jump in and out?

Unknown: I think you're back. Shannon was just saying, um, she's in exactly the same boat, Tommy. Um, unenrolled last week, still have to drop a grand or 4 weeks fees even though, um, he's not going anymore until the new info came to light in the last couple of days.

Tommy: Yeah, and so then my thinking, Shannon, you've got your own situation, but I mean, for us, I'm no use as a full-time employee to a business being at home with Bodhi and still trying to do the work. I think it's super hard. It's super hard. That's what you can't get paid for working for a company and be staying at home looking after a child and seeming to be putting in a full day's work, 'cause you can't.

Josh: Yeah, I think working from home whilst having kids, I think, whilst having kids there is a little bit of an oxymoron. And I think the hard thing is that parents are told that they should be trying to seek this balance or that they should be able to, you know, have your kid and have all of this flexibility. But the reality is, if you're working from home and you're— you've got your kid there, you can't be the best version of an employee. But not only can you not be the best version, I think that it's just putting weight— like, you're splitting your, um, energy to a point where you're not even being able to effectively be a parent either.

Tommy: Yeah, exactly. So it's It's being useless at both. It's not even just being able to spread 50/50. It doesn't work like that.

Josh: But I think that the— like, the other thing too is that businesses say, okay, well, it's about flexibility. We just need to provide flexibility. And I think it's a good example, like with what we do, we have a bunch of flexibility. But even if you can choose your hours, if you're doing a full day of looking after Bode, doing then a full day of work, whether it's, you know, whatever times you pick, is going to be really hard.

Tommy: Yeah, oh, 100%. And so I, I, the plan I'm thinking is putting Bode back in 3 to 4 days to be able to give myself those days to work, you know, seriously hard. And then on the other days, being able to have the still, the routine of getting up early, being able to put in work before and do the show. And so it is a different— I mean, but it's— I think it is. I've been seriously emotional the last week, um, and I haven't really— like, it's so confronting to think that, um, to— it's confronting to confront that you feel emotional about these things because it's totally not normal for me. And yeah, it's been super taxing. On my emotional state, as you guys have been aware.

Josh: Jake has just said, I'm a little worried about businesses that will get these things like the JobKeeper, etc., and not pass it on to the workers where it should go. I don't— I actually don't think that's going to be an issue because businesses will just be audited, and I think like grumps will be called out pretty quickly if they're, if they're doing that sort of shit.

Tommy: Yeah, dude, you cannot, you cannot. It will be the same as if landlords get exemptions on mortgages and still keep charging, um, charging the tenants money. Like, it has to be passed on. Like, people will just be called out. Like, there is even issues with this JobKeeper. There is issues with the JobKeeper thing and what the government are actually saying. Like, um, they've shifted What's wrong, bubba? What happened?

Josh: Hey, Bodhi.

Unknown: Hey, Bodhi.

Tommy: Do you want to go back up? Mummy's in your room. Do you want to go? I think Amy's doing a podcast with Bree upstairs. Can you go interrupt that podcast? It's happening in your room. Um, oh yeah, it's just— oh mate, the government, ScoMo, has got the biggest challenge. Any person that's running the country has the biggest challenge at the moment. I don't, yeah. As I've said, I've taken my hand down for the position. Hang on, guys, I'll be there.

Josh: Classic grabbing of the phone. My phone time, can I just say, just disgusting. So, last night I couldn't. What time did you go to sleep?

Unknown: Um, uh, maybe 2:30-ish, 2:30-ish, something like that. I had a late night, but yours was even later.

Josh: Well, so I've already, I've already had my biggest day of the week in screen time today. I have had 8 hours and 41 minutes. Oh, and this is the reason why. And so part of it is that, um, I couldn't get to sleep till around 3.

Tommy: Yeah, why?

Josh: This is a problem. I think that booze brain. Yeah, I think I just, I'm always thinking. Grog dog. And so, yeah, yeah. Where does grog dog come from, by the way?

Tommy: Ben Fordham. No, Ben Fordham said it the other day.

Unknown: Is that where he got it from?

Tommy: Oh mate, Ben's a trendsetter. I hope he came up with it. I want to get grog dog on a t-shirt. This absolute grog dog. Dog.

Josh: No, but I think I was, I was thinking a lot. And then also, without having to, uh, worry about like what time you wake up anymore, like there's definitely— and this is why I've become strict on my eating, because Bree and I have identified that we've actually turned into our teenage selves. Like, we're just acting like teenagers around everything.

Tommy: And so everything, Josh.

Josh: Well, I'm just trying to think. Yeah, yeah, everything. Yeah, I mean, we're gonna, we're gonna wash the windows. Bree's getting a new industrial squeegee to, to do the windows.

Tommy: Oh mate, everything? Are you sure?

Josh: But, um, yeah, no, so I, um, yeah, I couldn't get to bed till after 3. I listened to a bit of Dalai Lama doing a how to practise in with the AirPods, which got me to sleep. But I feel like I just need to get better at like completely removing my phone. Just not— just that I don't have the light on anymore. I turn that off because I got a new laptop.

Unknown: Can you go to a different room?

Josh: Yeah.

Unknown: Can you leave it on the kitchen bench? Have your charger out on the kitchen bench and just leave it there?

Josh: Yeah, I could do that. And I think that it probably— and even I think that means then not bringing the iPad to to bed as well.

Tommy: Oh God, I mean, there's a Kindle. Yeah, yeah, just remove everything. Some people just— I mean, having a TV in our room, I'm surprised. I mean, I'm surprised we haven't just launched, but we're definitely watching more TV than we've ever watched based on having it in our room. And so you just might need to eliminate— you don't have a TV in there, which is great. But just, yeah, there's one thing I want to do which has been a source of frustration both for Amy and myself is I need to have, like when I grew up, I had a hallway and then there was like a hallway table with a bowl and the keys would go in there. And then I need something like that in my house 'cause I'm constantly looking for my cards as in my, 'cause I have that sort of like, poxy little, paper clip or, you know, little clip, butterfly clip or whatever it's called. And, uh, bulldozer clip, that's it. Yeah. And I'm looking for my cards because I just misplaced them. But if you just had a bowl, Josh, out in the lounge room or somewhere, like, I think a physical, a physical item to put it into where you could lock it down or close it, this has like a tactile nature to it where you, you know, like that's when you're, you're doing it gets in there and then you come out and grab it tomorrow. Charging dock.

Unknown: I mean, my, yeah, my head went to like a nice little leather mat.

Josh: It could be like this bellroy sort of thing that you could have wireless charging.

Tommy: Yeah, look, I work with a shoebox and a, like, it doesn't have to be something you need to buy, but it would look better in a nice wooden—

Josh: if I put a shoebox in my lounge, Bray would be in it and my phone would be lost forever.

Unknown: Yeah, look, it's, it's not going to help you now, but apparently the Apple's wireless charger AirPower is back in, uh, development.

Josh: Oh great. And so that was the pad that they tried.

Unknown: That's a wireless charging pad.

Josh: Yeah. And it was just overheating, wasn't it?

Unknown: Yeah. So it's meant to charge like your phone and your Apple Watch at the same time. You can put that, put them anywhere on the mat. But yeah, I think it had issues with like the wireless charging coils and stuff. But yeah, oh man, that'll be another 2 years away.

Tommy: I mean, these are such low-level problems compared to the problems of the current world. It's so crazy. This is fucking ridiculous. Ridiculous.

Josh: I've been thinking about other routines that I want to start, just to, you know, some rituals, just a bit of a reset.

Unknown: For you or for everyone?

Josh: For me.

Unknown: Okay.

Josh: But do you— before I go through mine, have you guys got any sort of ambitions for the new week that you can sort of cement now and we can cheque in of things you want to do?

Unknown: I do want to— I do want to do a meal prep for the week. I've been relying on— Sam's made a bunch of like lunches throughout the week, and so I've just been eating some of those because he makes like up a big cauliflower soup or something like that. So I want to do that.

Josh: You don't even like cauliflower.

Unknown: No, I don't even like cauliflower.

Tommy: Does he actually prep it for you, or are you the little brother that do— I know you're not the middle, you're the middle brother. Are you just the middle brother that just ganks your older brother's food?

Unknown: Well, he makes a lot of it, and so it's like someone else is gonna have it.

Tommy: It could be I make a lot and it's for me.

Unknown: It's made for everyone.

Tommy: But no, there it is.

Unknown: So I want to do that, and then also like I'm getting a sore back, so I needed to start doing yoga at like midday or whatever, or between our two podcasts sometime.

Tommy: Absolutely not. No, no, that's great.

Josh: I mean, you ran through your schedule, Seb, so I don't know where it fits because I've sort of dialled in 10 to 7.

Tommy: Yeah, 10 AM till 7 PM.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, just sort of back to back, just okay, like let's, let's just—

Unknown: even like lunch, lunchtime was pushing it. Josh was like I gave you 45 minutes.

Josh: What's the minimum? 30? So I'm giving you more.

Tommy: I don't know. Yeah, yeah, be grateful. No, definitely, I think, but I think then the, how many, are you sleeping in longer than you would normally while you're at home? 'Cause that can be the problem, right? Your routine, the pressure to get out the door is not there. This is a question for Sebbs. Oh, both of you. I think it's—

Josh: Sebbs, what, are you waking up later?

Unknown: Yeah, I mean, I'm probably waking up like 7:30 to 8 o'clock at the moment, but just because I did go to bed at 1 AM last night, which— Oh no, like 2:30.

Tommy: 2:30? I thought you said 1 AM. Didn't you say—

Unknown: No, I'm pretty sure I said—

Tommy: I reckon he lied. I reckon you were trying to make it out like it wasn't lying.

Unknown: I'm actually— I'm pretty sure I said 2:30.

Josh: You did. Yeah.

Unknown: You did, but it's the potatoes, 2:30 all over again.

Josh: Well, the potatoes thing, we'll bring it, we'll get George to do a bit of a closer look on that one.

Tommy: And so, no, but yeah, the morning time routine, I think I need to, I'm doing the meditation every day, but the rule has just been I need to get it done within the day. And so it didn't matter when I was doing it, but there's definitely, as times get tougher, I reckon, drinking once a week, uh, which is the Friday.

Josh: Once a week going hard. This is one for YouTube Live. Let us know, guys, should we do one Friday night and go hard and finish it of 1 to 2 bottles? Well, let's just say 1 bottle. Or yeah, are you better off sort of drinking— so if you do 1 on a Friday night, are you better off doing that, or do you think you're better off doing 2 bottles but doing it all through the week, we're having sort of a glass a night.

Tommy: Well, I think one bottle is fine on a night. You're talking pretty low numbers, right? Because we've got, uh, old mate Limo who was having one bottle per night.

Josh: Limo is the standard though.

Tommy: No, it's— I think it's when you're drinking 20 standard drinks on a Saturday night, which is binge drinking. We're not encouraging that at all.

Josh: In a bottle, how many was that again?

Tommy: Uh, there'll be, um, around 8. Yeah, that'd be right for a bottle.

Josh: So 8 in one night you think is actually okay?

Tommy: It's, uh, it's not necessarily okay. I mean, 0 is better than 1. 10— 1 is better than 10. There's 7.

Unknown: 7.

Tommy: Yeah, pretty close. Yeah, but I'm not saying go hard on a Friday. I'm just saying have a few. I drank 6 beers yesterday. That made me feel No good.

Josh: Uh, do you reckon, uh, Earl Squirrelson 100 says one Friday night blowout. Love your, uh, username Earl Squirrelson. And, uh, George says a hard on Friday.

Tommy: 6.6, mate.

Josh: That'd be my, uh, memoir.

Unknown: Yeah, hard on Friday.

Tommy: Um, yeah, anyway, I don't— I'm just trying to— yeah, so the point of saying that is These are probably the toughest, most tough— these are the toughest times mentally for everybody at the moment. And so I'm just trying to— what's the way you can mitigate the impact of the situation on your mind? And some of these things are meditation in the morning.

Unknown: George has just written, Josh is hard most days, which I don't know how it's become like a real thing.

Josh: Like, I don't know if you should make it the thing, because I think that how long before— because I even think about like all of these things, um, like I think about what was acceptable in like the early 2000s, or what just the shit that went down, and then you think about workplaces now. I feel like we're going to have some sort of fucking montage of all of the, the shit that we say, specifically about me being hard or stuff like that. It's going to be used against me.

Tommy: So it won't be used against you.

Josh: Service, can you promise that you're not going to use that against me?

Unknown: I will never use it against you.

Tommy: Great, that's on record. And you're not getting me.

Josh: That's all I need.

Tommy: I may use it against you.

Josh: All right, so the early one.

Tommy: Okay, so for me, meditation first thing in the morning. First thing.

Josh: First thing. I like that. For me, I've decided that I'm going to— I've been trying to sell my 1DX, my camera. For a very long time. Let's be honest, it's not a good time to, uh, to sell a camera.

Unknown: No.

Josh: So interestingly, hey, something, um, it's a little bit inside baseball. I looked up the Elgato website. We can use— like, I could use my 1D and it, um, similar to the G7s, so I could have it as a second camera and put it on a half an hour record time. No, it's, it's always on, like it's got the always-on.

Unknown: Oh, because it's just— oh great.

Josh: And so I could put the 70-200mm lens. Oh wow. And point it to the street and get really close-up shots of like the city and stuff. So that's great.

Unknown: That's a great idea.

Josh: But what I was thinking—

Unknown: So you're selling it or?

Josh: No, I'm not selling it. And what I was thinking is in regards to sort of what you can do from a ritual point of view, I am going to every Every morning at 7 AM, I'm gonna go out for an hour and I'm going to take 5 photos around the neighbourhood and I'm going to put them up on my, um, uh, Instagram storeys or posts. Uh, posts.

Unknown: Okay, great.

Tommy: Um, but one carousel or individual?

Josh: Carousel.

Tommy: Great, because I would have unfollowed you with too much content.

Josh: No, no, there'll be carousel. Um, Jake says, LOL, you could see me on my balcony with that, Josh. No, I reckon I could, Jake. I reckon if I did it from my balcony, potentially. Um, but where we are right now, I'll just show you what it looks like right now in, um, like in Melbourne. It's, yeah, it's raining a little bit there. Um, anyway, uh, so the 5 Photos Bell was thinking of giving it a name. I nearly got the .com, but I'm just going to dial back the .coms. But I'll just tell you what the .coms were because I think they're great.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: So the first one I came up with was apartoutside.com.

Tommy: Okay.

Josh: Yeah. And then the second one—

Tommy: We can slam them if we don't like them because you didn't buy them.

Josh: Well, I think that the thing is that it's a little bit difficult because it's a little bit clunky. It's like, what, apart? Apart outside? No, like apart.

Tommy: My mind said apartment. As soon as you said apart, I was just thinking apartment.

Josh: And so I think there's an issue with that. But, um, the, the other one domain name that's available is aloneoutside.com. Good. And so I'm just pumped for the photos on your Instagram.

Tommy: So you can take a bloody good photo.

Josh: Yeah. And so Instagram aloneoutside, the username's taken, and, uh, but apartoutsides Instagram is available because it doesn't really make a huge amount of sense.

Tommy: Any sense. Yeah, I think, I think you'll keep it on my personal and we'll share it across on a storey in each daily talk show too, so you can see it. Yeah, whenever it's up.

Josh: And so good content benchmark. I've been trolling Sev's a lot. Um, oh, here we go. But, uh, Butterbean says, why is Josh wearing my nan's cardigan? Uh, because I fucked her last night. Jesus Christ.

Unknown: And, uh, that's what you're gonna get taken down for.

Josh: No, Butterbean's a troll. Oh God, no, but no, this is from my— this is one of the fucking good ones that I got. Freak. Um, and so yeah, we'll share it across and also I think— but I know I am disappointed at the moment because my Instagram looks like dog shit because Me? I've been screen grabbing Seb's every time he laughs.

Tommy: It's cute, it's cute. Campbell Jam has said, you savage, Josh. And it's a great way to finish the show, just to, you know, on the, on the high. We can't do any better than that.

Unknown: All right, uh, just quickly, we, uh, salary package says, oh damn.

Tommy: Oh yeah, we got an email from Shannon She says, uh, g'day, Grongs.

Unknown: Long time listener, first time contacting here. Just a quick shout out to say that I love the podcast. I've been listening for about a year now. I think I found you guys through Shameless and have become more and more in love with the show. I originally loved the guest episodes, but I've come to love the episodes where it's just you guys having a shit yarn and talking about your lives and real life issues. I love feeling invested in your lives. I know that sounds a bit creepy. Why I'm writing in today is because I'm located in Christchurch, New Zealand, and would have loved to join in on the Friday night drinks, but friends of ours have organised a lockdown wine and cheese evening which starts in 15 minutes. This was just before our, um, our episode started. Fingers crossed I will be able to join next week, but I've been loving watching the live Zooms, uh, this week while I'm doing some work from home and can't wait to get more involved with you guys and all the cool stuff you're bringing out. Congrats and thank you for the awesome work you do, lads. Uh, I may try to pop in to Friday night drinks but can't guarantee anything. Hope you all have a beautiful evening. Lots of love. Regards from afar, Shannon.

Tommy: That's lovely.

Josh: Thanks, Shannon.

Tommy: Thank you.

Josh: Um, and before we finish the show, let's— I'll get the apology out of the way. I'm sorry for saying that. I think that it's more— it's one of those—

Unknown: don't apologize. No, don't apologize.

Josh: Well, the thing is that I For somehow I've become the smutty one of the show, and I, I don't want to be the smutty one.

Tommy: Like, I don't—

Unknown: you—

Tommy: it's like if— no, I don't even need to go there. It's— the smutty thing is a great example. There's a reason I'm not the smutty one, Josh.

Unknown: Why? What does that mean?

Tommy: I'm not smutty. The one that gets identified as smutty is because you bring smutty content.

Josh: Before the show, you said are we not streaming? Because I just wanted to share.

Tommy: And then you can't—

Josh: but hang on, you're not the smutty guy.

Tommy: But hang on, it's either I've just got a filter—

Josh: I'm more consistent.

Tommy: You can't say you're not smutty though. You can't say you're not smutty.

Josh: But you think that you're less smutty than me?

Tommy: No, but you can make— you, you don't have to come across as smutty. You just don't have to say shit. You did actually, to be fair, you push back on the digital chubby. Like, I wanted to really push, push hard on the digitalchubby.com. And, and you were like, nah, I don't think it's a good one. Digital Chubby, nah, you can't mention that. But somehow you end up—

Josh: I will get—

Tommy: getting it into the show.

Josh: The smut stuff I think that he is— for some reason it comes out on the show more than in real life. So that's, that's the problem.

Tommy: Yeah, no. Or is it that we do so many shows that you, um, we don't know the difference. Like, it's— it is just an extension of your— our lives now.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. I think that— I think it's that thing of the, the alcohol thing, and you end up sort of— you play into that, and it just sort of— you go with the flow, and then that just becomes the new normal. And so, like, if we think about it, it's all about in-jokes, and before you know it, it's like you make one dick joke and then it's funny to say the dick joke again. But I think it would be good for us to have some form of filter. I don't know what that filter is. I just don't want to— I don't want our first bad review to be Josh is a smut. Or Josh is smutty. Josh is a smut. Josh is a smut. That's funny.

Unknown: Shannon saying Josh the smut is great. More smut, please.

Josh: Okay, more smut. More smut. More smut. Where have we heard that? We've chanted that before.

Unknown: The word smut was before this episode, wasn't it?

Tommy: What? Hang on.

Josh: Oh no, on Jack Post. Here's a little bit of a niche, uh, thing. When Jack Post did a Melbourne International Comedy Festival show back in 2013, he did a song that was very smutty. It was, um, called Ghost In My Room, and the lyrics go, uh, ghosts in my room, ghosts in my room, they have to watch me masturbate, they have to watch me masturbate. That was the whole song, basically. Anyway, he then, halfway through the song, he did a big chant where they were like, no more smut, no more, or more smut. Okay, more smart, more smart.

Tommy: You know what smut means? It's a, it's a small flake of soot, soot, or other dirt, or a mark left by one. Or the other alternative is a fungal disease of cereals in which parts of the ear change to black powder.

Josh: Well, Grace says, isn't a smut a kiss?

Tommy: Uh, um, snogging. Snogging is a kiss. What's Urban Dictionary's definition of smut, Sevs? Um, That's where you— that's your full dictionary, isn't it? You only do Urban Dictionary.

Unknown: I mean, to be honest, I was actually just looking at grog dog. It's a roaming alcoholic asshole. So it's probably—

Tommy: it's quite offensive. Sorry, Gemma, for calling you a grog dog.

Josh: The not for broadcast I got tripped up on yesterday. I was talking to someone. They use the NFB, not for broadcast. And because I was a bit tipsy, I was like, oh, what the fuck is NFB? I don't know what it was. And I looked it up and it was nerdy fuckboy. And I'd just been talking about Sev's and I thought, and I was like, lol, yeah, he is. He's a nerdy fuckboy. It was very confusing.

Tommy: God, I think for next Friday night drinks and kick-ons, we really need the definitive, the show's done and now it's moving into the new unknown. Unrecorded, uh, loose nature of Friday night drinks. Because you can easily just start saying—

Josh: I swear my friends say smut for kiss. I mean, growing up I used to say pash. Pash was the big one.

Tommy: Slang.

Josh: What did you say? Snog? What was, what was on the— what was the playground banter about kissing?

Tommy: Ah, um, make out, pash.

Unknown: Yeah, make out, French kiss, a little bit.

Tommy: No, it's disgusting.

Josh: No, we don't mean—

Unknown: Yeah, no, definitely not.

Josh: What did you say? Oh, I got with that person. You would say that?

Tommy: Oh, got.

Unknown: Yeah, yeah, no, definitely that.

Tommy: Made out.

Josh: Um, pash.

Unknown: The pash wasn't really one.

Tommy: Tongued?

Josh: Pash was tongue.

Unknown: Yeah, no, wasn't tongue. Definitely not. Anyway, I've just, I've just typed in smut into Urban Dictionary. It says written sex like in fanfictions. It's just written sex like in fanfictions.

Tommy: So that makes no sense. What does that mean?

Unknown: I'm like trying to figure that out.

Tommy: Written story, like in—

Unknown: yeah, a story, usually a book or fanfiction that includes one or more sexual, sexually explicit teenage teens.

Josh: Yeah, I mean, uh, they, they used that terminology when she was Mason's age, so it was a few years ago. Uh, Jasnah has said, uh, I'm paying dearly for my Friday night drinks. Jasnah, I saw in the comments, you, you absolute, uh, grog dog. But it's great. And we're gonna do it. I'm not gonna drink for the most part during the week and then just Fridays make it my thing.

Tommy: Yeah, no, I think it's a good one to hold out for.

Unknown: Can I just say, just quickly, we got another email. This is from Constantine and he says, dear The Daily Talk Show team, I'm writing to inquire about the possibility of joining the team. I really admire your work and I'm a native Russian speaker. And so, I wanted to ask if you guys need an English to Russian translator for your YouTube channel.

Tommy: Great. Does that mean just for niche things that we find that are in Russian that we want translated, or he wants to translate a whole video into Russian and he's actually just looking for paid work? Is that what he's doing?

Unknown: Well, I have a feeling it might be paid work, but maybe he could translate a bunch of Russian stuff into English for us.

Tommy: I mean, are you watching any Russian vids that you need translated?

Unknown: No, not usually.

Josh: What about—

Tommy: not usually, sometimes though.

Josh: What about, um, we pick a language each week and we—

Tommy: or—

Josh: and we get a, um, a dubbed verse? Too hard, I'm worried.

Tommy: It's very hard. I mean, how about we just, um—

Unknown: well, don't reply.

Tommy: Matt D'Avella's video was dubbed into Russian. Maybe that's how they found us, right?

Josh: Yeah, we could do subtitles.

Tommy: That's a— I mean, real English users. What's his name?

Josh: This guy is definitely working for Putin. Butterbean. Who is Butterbean? Will you tell us who you are?

Tommy: Yeah, Butterbean. Josh, do you know what Butterbean is? Do you know what— do you know Butterbean?

Josh: No, I don't.

Tommy: Do I need to share it? No, Butterbean is a boxer. You can see him in there. He was a Butterbean.

Unknown: It's also the cutest thing you've ever seen.

Tommy: Butterbean, the cutest thing.

Unknown: Usually comes from Texas.

Tommy: Yeah, dude, he was a big 300-pound man.

Unknown: Okay, yeah, here you go. The second dictionary is a fat-ass boxer who will knock the shit out of you.

Tommy: I did that with Aysa.

Josh: I had a theory very early on, but it changed. But the theory was that it was 3D Dill with a different account because Butterbean said more of 3D Dill once. I was like, okay, could be 3D.

Tommy: Anyway, oh yeah, next week, just saying, the translating to Russian, like, um, Logan Paul and what's his name, that huge, you know, the biggest YouTuber in the world, uh, PewDiePie, they translate their videos into 50-something languages.

Josh: That's good.

Tommy: And, um, it's because they can monetize it and they have enough viewers, so it'd be a bit of overkill for us to just go real hard getting Swedish, Russian.

Josh: There's good work we can do with English.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, translating our bullshit.

Josh: Yeah. All right, it's a Daily Talk Show. Can people send us emails? hi@thedailytalkshow.com. That email address again is hi@thedailytalkshow.com, because it is fun hearing 97 read, and it was great getting that email from Shannon from New Zealand as well. If you want to be part of Friday Night Drinks, all you have to do is go to thedailytalkshow.com/gronks, fill out your details, and then we send you an email on Friday. Sebbs, can you get better at sending them out a bit earlier?

Unknown: Well, don't blow your load and tell them that I'm writing it before I've even sent it.

Josh: Well, people are panicking because it was like 1:30 and they hadn't heard anything.

Unknown: Yeah, you get another 3 hours.

Tommy: How about this?

Josh: What party?

Tommy: I did a lot. I did a live. I did a live at 4, at, um, a little bit before it. We can, we can dial it in to get, get the, get the comms sorted. But just know, if you're listening, you've been more than once, it happens at 4 every Friday. It's pretty, pretty straightforward.

Josh: And also, I do have all the, um, I've got the final letters. I've still got to do them, and then I'm sending them out in the mail. For, um, the, uh, the stickers as well.

Tommy: Nearly there, nearly there.

Josh: All right, uh, see you tomorrow, guys. Have a good one.

Tommy: See you guys.
