Undies, Cologne & Formal

Tommy: The Daily Talk Show.

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 685.

Tommy: Happy Friday, Gronks. Formal day, what's happening?

Mason: Oh yeah.

Tommy: What's going on?

Josh: Had a little spritz on my face. I'm, uh, Bree let me use all of her good stuff, so I'm, uh, feeling dry on the forehead.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, great. Speaking of spritz on the face, I just need to sort of amend something from yesterday's storey I was telling about, um, you you know, being, uh, in the bushes and only realizing, you know, as there was many men around that I was actually at a gay beat. I forgot to say, which has actually made the story, I saw a guy with his dick in his hand.

Josh: Oh really? Well, you have a cock on your head.

Tommy: Well, I've got— I'm wearing a hat that says cock. As I walk through, I just forgot to mention this, I saw a guy. Yeah, scared the absolute shit out of him. I said I said, um, you're right, mate. And he just shat his pants.

George: Yeah.

Tommy: And ran off.

Josh: Was it a nice dick at least?

Tommy: Well, it was, it was. I just saw it through the twigs, and so I think it's quite small because I, I just thought it could have been another twig from a tree.

George: Okay.

Tommy: It definitely wasn't a trunk, if that's what you're looking for, Josh. Definitely not.

Josh: Okay, well, I thought we could start with a bit of gratitude, uh, this morning. It sounds like you've already given us what you're grateful for, TJ.

Tommy: Um, I'm grateful for, I'm grateful for storey that is happening in the current day to be able to bring to this show, to be honest. I was just listening to a podcast that these guys are like talking. They did a podcast 2 weeks ago and they're like, um, so have you been— he's like, uh, absolutely haven't done anything, absolutely nothing. I've literally been in my apartment for 2 weeks since I last spoke to you, haven't done anything. Which, you know, as you get deeper into this, it's like, hey, what's your storey about life?

Josh: He stole your content.

Tommy: Yeah, I didn't get that joke.

Josh: Well, it's just because that's what you were saying, like you could relate to it.

Tommy: No, I was saying that I actually had a storey and I was grateful that the storey was something that actually happened to me. Because as you get deeper into, you know, people just being at home, what the fuck's going on? Not a lot.

Josh: Yeah, that's a good gratitude.

Mason: Gratitude. You're rattled.

Josh: A bit of gratitude. I mean, TJ's got a little bit of— he's a little bit thinny today.

Tommy: You weren't listening, that's why.

Josh: Sorry.

George: You got something else?

Tommy: Nah, that's it.

Josh: Now what else have you got?

Tommy: Um, grateful for— are you talking about grateful? Is that what you're talking about?

Josh: It could be anything.

George: Great.

Mason: Yeah, no, let's go on the gratitude train.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, gratitude train. What am I grateful for? Um, grateful for George. Uh, can we, can we do that? Can we throw it to someone else?

George: Yeah.

Tommy: Yeah, grateful for you, George. You've just been an absolute killer in these, in these times, punching out edits, uh, just bringing lots of value. Like, you are an absolute superstar. And I like that you have been able to, um, you know, do shit that you haven't been putting out into the world. You said, you know, it's a bit sort of confronting making those videos and putting yourself in them. And, uh, but you're super talented and very grateful for that.

George: That's lovely. That's just made my day. That was lovely. Thank you. Now I'm feeling like super inspired at the moment, like probably more inspired than I've ever been, just wanting to create stuff and do fun stuff with you guys. And, um, yeah, so I'm having a great time.

Josh: That's nice. Sebbs, what are you grateful for?

Mason: Uh, I mean, I was, I was gonna say, I guess we could go George again.

George: No, I, I absolutely feel like this is feeling like a setup.

Josh: It's gonna be the last time you're coming on the show.

Tommy: Yeah, go, go negative, Mason, and then Josh can come back with a, you know, positive. We made a nice sandwich.

Mason: What's annoying about George? Oh man, to be fair, the audio is quite annoying just before the show. You always seem to pull out something right before the show that's just an absolute nightmare and screws all of us around, which is slightly annoying. But I do have—

Josh: and you did put gum on the table, so it's a different problem every time though too. How'd you manage that one, George?

George: Yeah, well, this one was, um, it just wasn't showing up in my settings. It was like the mic wasn't showing up, so I had to unplug it, plug it into a different port. Um, so yeah, what was the last thing I did with Harry? When we had Harry on the show last, a few days ago, I think about 10 seconds before we went live, I turned my internet off.

Josh: Yeah, that's right.

George: I thought I'd do it, thought I'd do a bit of troubleshooting and Yeah, yeah, and I was gone.

Josh: That's all right, it's good. I'm actually grateful that you've got it sorted.

George: Yeah, when I came back in the call, I heard you bitching about me. Oh, George is here.

Josh: Hey. No, I think, no, you've done a great job of adapting, and the lighting looks great now for you, George. Oh, I think so. And also, I'm also grateful that the Insta storeys you did last night, oh, we got to see you make an entire meal. What was it like?

Mason: You were pumped.

Josh: Yeah, you were drunk.

George: You were loving it. Yeah, I was a bit. I'm feeling a little bit hungover today, to be honest. But that was honestly like the funnest, probably the funnest thing that's happened in isolation. It was great. I feel like I went a bit too hard on the stories, like maybe did too many.

Josh: No, it was perfect. And so, for people who didn't see, what did you do?

George: So, Hamish and Ben Shiri. Ben Shiri is like the— he's the owner, founder, head chef at Attica, which is always in the top 10 restaurants in the country.

Josh: He was on that Netflix— what's the Netflix food docos?

George: Yeah, he was on Chef's Table.

Josh: Yeah.

George: And so, they do— they create like crazy food at that restaurant, but now, obviously, they're closed. They're doing takeaways and stuff. Usually you have to book in 3 months in advance. Like, I've been lucky to go to Attica. We had Saturday night.

Tommy: What did you spend? How much was it?

George: Oh, my parents.

Josh: And how much do they pay on rent?

Tommy: Do you remember?

George: It was like $400 a head.

Tommy: Yeah, it's crazy. Like, I think the thing is, what blows my mind, these places aren't the takeaway venues. And so, if they're deciding to do something in regards to takeaway for their business, it is like, it's like a limousine company deciding to now just sort of drive Ubers, but then they're like, how can we pimp out the Uber? How can we make it the best, you know, experience for a cheaper price for everyday gronks? And so that's why I love it, because it's like, it's almost like they're not too proud. They don't, you know, they're not trying to hold their pride of like, not, we're a fine dine, you know, 10 10-degustation, 10-meal, you know, $400 a head. It's like, how can we now offer up— like, that is the silver lining in this for everyday gronks, that they can experience something like this. But even better, him doing shit like what he did last night on Insta.

George: Yeah, oh, it was so great. And, um, so yeah, so, so Hamish and Ben did an hour-long Instagram Live where they went through, uh, a recipe together And so, what we made was prawn spaghetti and a chocolate mousse for dessert. And you got all the stuff prepped sort of beforehand, just sort of like melted the chocolate and stuff.

Josh: How did you know? Did they— How did they tell you to prep?

George: Yeah, I think they said, just get the chocolate melted and get your prawns, you know, cut up and shelled and stuff like that. And then we went for it. So, the 4 of us in our house, my girlfriend.

Josh: So, there's Hannah and then there's your sister as well.

George: My sister Chloe.

Josh: Yeah.

George: Yeah. And my mate Tarni. So, there's 4 of us and we all just had wine and just went for it. And the food was so good. Like, it was just so much fun.

Josh: I feel like it looked better than any other, like Hamish was resharing a bunch of people and I feel like your chocolate mousse was actually the most solid out of everyone that posted.

George: It was so good. The chocolate mousse was like amazing. We also had my mum in Byron and my stepdad and stepsister, they were doing it as well. So, we had them on FaceTime at the same time.

Tommy: Great.

George: So, it was like, you know, everyone was doing it. And yeah, I hope they do it again, 'cause it was, it was, So good.

Josh: What does the flame, you know how you were like, you light the pan? What is that actually doing?

George: I don't know. It was like, it was cooking the prawns with brandy, I think.

Josh: Okay.

George: To be honest, I was slack on the cooking. My job was just listening and relaying information because I was just like too busy just trying to get storeys and stuff. But it was hectic. So, If you ask me how to cook it, I honestly don't know. I didn't really do much. I was just filming.

Tommy: And like, who took the lead? Who, who did take the lead out of anybody?

George: All three of them. Like, the other three were, were in charge.

Josh: You've done a me looking after making sure the internet connection is all good, making sure the content was actually—

Mason: yeah, making sure you got it plugged into the TV. That was great.

Josh: Oh yeah, that was it.

George: Yeah, we had the TV up. Um, but it was kind of— yeah, it was Pissing them off a little bit, buddy, because I was just no help at all.

Josh: And so, I mean, it's— you did that on a Thursday night last night. I mean, are you leaving anything exciting to do on the weekends, or is your weekend just going to be boring in comparison?

George: Maybe. I don't know what we're going to do on the weekend. I'm just going to go for a walk or something. But yeah, it's going to be boring.

Josh: Are any of you guys planning? Like, TJ, do you know what you're going to do on the weekend to sort of segment it from the normal week?

Tommy: Oh, nothing other than just being around my family all weekend. No, I mean, what is there to do?

Josh: Like cooking and stuff? Like, they're cool. I think like the cooking stuff or baking and things like that.

Tommy: Yeah, we've been cooking. Yeah, we actually— sorry, last Saturday night we did a roast that was sick. That was awesome. And, um, which was a nice sort of like, yeah, sort of divider. Um, And that was a long weekend.

Josh: Yeah. So, I feel like the formal will do that as well.

Tommy: Yeah.

George: Yeah.

Tommy: I was going to say, George, mate, you've still got something to look forward to tonight.

George: Yeah, true. Yeah. Yeah. Can't wait for that. I think I'm going to go for the white shirt and the bow tie. I think that's—

Josh: Oh, that's Chris.

George: Yeah. Yeah.

Josh: I did bring up with Bree that I wanted to wear my linen shirt with a bow tie. She said that don't go together. Like, it's going to look—

George: Oh, really? Because mine's linen as well.

Josh: Oh, really? Is it? But it's white.

Tommy: Is yours?

Josh: Because you look like the— Mine's white. But has it got the— is it creasy? Like, is it a little bit sort of creased in style?

George: No, not really. I don't think so. It's just like thin, thin linen. Okay.

Tommy: I reckon it'll look good, Josh. I reckon it—

George: on the webcam.

Tommy: I mean, Bri wasn't happy about the whole theme in itself. I read the Instagram.

Josh: Yeah, she had a bit of pushback just based on— we've got our good tracksuit, good tracksuits, and she thought that potentially we could wear that But, um, no, I mean, it's just trying to work out what to fucking wear. Like, I felt like working out what to wear at formal events is a bit stressful.

Mason: You just need to go to— you just, you just need to get like a— you just need a suit or something semi-formal that you can just always wear.

Josh: And so, Seb, what are you— have you decided on that suit?

Mason: Yeah, yeah, I'm wearing that suit. I got one of Dad's white shirts.

Josh: Yeah, uh, yeah.

Mason: My undies, my undies today, which is good. Um, but yeah, I've got my, um, suit jacket and, um, I tried that on yesterday, it still fits.

Josh: So what's everyone's undies sort of like? What sort of style, George, do you— I could imagine you being sort of like the silk boxers, like Simpson style. But I want to see, let's see TJ's. Here we go.

Mason: You want to see?

Josh: Yeah, he's definitely wearing his— oh, here we go. Oh yeah. Oh wow. Oh, brand new.

Tommy: They're brand new.

Josh: I got a 6-pack.

Tommy: Imagine if my wife walked in right now. I've got my pants around my ankles.

Josh: That would make a lot of sense. Looks like it's like that streaming service you were talking about.

Tommy: No, I got a 6-pack delivered yesterday.

Josh: Oh really? Where from?

Tommy: Um, Amy. Oh, Catch of the Day. Amy got Bond. Yeah, she, um, yeah, 6 pairs of large undies and I was pumped about that.

Josh: So George, what do you, what do you rock?

George: Uh, similar style, just like the kind of— what are these ones? You don't have to show it. I just get, um, yeah, just like a 4-pack from Big W or Kmart or whatever. But I actually got a 6-pack from Aldi recently, and they're like the comfiest ones I've ever got. Really? That's so good.

Josh: Wow, that's such an Aldi thing to say, isn't it?

Tommy: Josh, do you remember we were walking down the street in Abbotsford, and that guy came up to us. Oh no, you weren't with me. That was my bro when he was doing the lights for our studio. This guy came up to us and he said to us, mate, I've just shat myself. Uh, would you be able to go on? Was that you?

Mason: No, it's Josh.

Josh: Yeah, no, I was there.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, I've just shat myself.

Josh: Yeah, I just need 2 bucks for a pair of undies.

Tommy: And he legit smelled like shit. That would—

Josh: yeah.

Tommy: Oh my God.

Josh: So now I should, um, yeah, it's interesting. We didn't do anything. We probably should have. It made me want to just always carry a pair.

Tommy: I think his honesty about it was what confused us because I was like, it was so honest that I thought it was a lie. It was like, yeah, mate, I've just shat myself and my nostrils smelt.

Josh: Yeah, I didn't smell the shit. I think that was the difference.

Tommy: My God, my God. Because he didn't look too, he didn't look too sort of Yeah. You know, homeless. It was a, it's a weird one. And I was like, $2 is a low amount to go and buy underwear. But in fairness, you can buy undies from Coles. You can buy undies from Aldi, I'm pretty sure.

Josh: Well, I mean, well, Aldi, that's, that's where George gets all of his. What brand are Aldi undies?

George: I can't remember what they are. I think they're just, yeah, I don't know.

Josh: Seb, what are you rocking?

Mason: Well, at the moment I'm just wearing like Bonds trunks.

Tommy: Just same as me. Yeah, is that what I think?

Josh: They're a very standard basic sort of thing.

Mason: I'm excited for my new one. My new ones are out right— they've got lycra panels on the inner thigh.

Josh: What do you do with that lycra?

Mason: Well, it's meant to— yeah, exactly, it's meant to be anti-chafing. And so I read all the reviews and these apparently are the go-to, um, ones.

George: What brand is that?

Mason: It's called Step One.

George: Yeah, I saw an ad for them the other day and they were saying, um, it was like a guy standing there and he goes, these undies give you chafing, these ones don't. But he was pointing to his undies and they're like Alpha, like they had like the brand name and stuff. Are you allowed to do that? Like put other brand names in your ad and say these ones are shit, get mine?

Josh: I guess so. I mean, uh, Seb, has chafing even been an issue for you though?

Tommy: Nah. Yeah, I know, that's what I was wondering. It's not a problem at all. Sportsmen and fat people. Yeah, I mean, so fat people.

Mason: It's got, it's got ride-up resistant panels to prevent leg ride, whatever that means. Leg ride. It's also got a 3D comfort pouch.

Josh: So do you guys have pockets on your undies? I feel like, not as in sort of, not as in pockets, like a zip.

Mason: Yeah, yeah.

Tommy: No, I feel like that's gonna zip. They're fancy undies if you get a zip.

Josh: No, you don't have it.

Tommy: Oh, that's not a drug pouch. Yeah, well, it's got that thing that's sort of like— I don't know what the purpose is. Can we find out what the purpose of that sort of like hole— you know, it's like on the Bonds undies, it's a front.

Josh: You could pull it out. It's like a fly.

Mason: It's a fly.

Tommy: It's a fly.

George: Yeah. Who does that though?

Tommy: Yeah, do you do that?

Mason: You're in this unit. No, no, no, my undies don't have that. Mine are just solid, I guess.

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, that's why I was asking, 'cause I was like, sure, I could think about it being a place to pull it out to do wee-wee, but no way, who's doing that?

Josh: No, 'cause you sort of have to turn it around. It's a bit strange.

Mason: It's a nightmare, isn't it?

Tommy: Yeah, if you let go and it just sort of, yeah.

Josh: You don't want that. Anyway, Emma's saying that she's thinking about bringing out the Spanx for tonight's big event.

Tommy: Which, um, oh yeah, mate, Spanx, you gotta wear them if you, if you, you know.

Josh: And, um, I could get around Spanx.

Tommy: Spanx, I mean, when I, when I'm feeling a bit frumpy, even like I've got a pair of pants that I like to lift them up above my belly button. There's something about that feeling that makes you feel less fat.

Josh: Well, that's all you've done with my skipping is like I always, when I used to dance back in the day, a week ago It would start off that way, start at the correct sort of waist. But by the end of it, I'm just like, just very loose. Just the pants are barely up type of thing. It wasn't a good look. But Gem is saying that she's about to put on some 3-hour express tan. Grace says, OMG, I'm the worst at fake tan. I might just skip it for tonight. Yeah.

Tommy: I mean— Handy if you had Sev in the building to sort of get that back region. That's hard to get to, you know.

Josh: It is a, um, I mean, Bree didn't realise how bad her fake tan was until I started posting those old photos from, um, our year 12 in Facebook.

Tommy: I think there is a period of time that everyone's just fucking, fucking their tan. It's like you see sort of, uh, you know, young girls that have got makeup that, you know, I, to be fair, I think that people like Gemma and people on online, young people's makeup is exceptionally beyond what it was before YouTube was a thing. But I remember, like, you know, it's a thing, like makeup was blotchy and shit like that. But I don't know, people seem older these days, people seem more experienced from the get-go. But I reckon, I reckon it's definitely because of YouTube. So, but then yeah, I mean, there's always a Oh, Amy got a— Amy got— was testing out tans before our wedding and, um, and went and got one from this place. And dude, she looked— oh, it was horrible.

Josh: Really?

Tommy: Absolutely horrible.

Josh: And she's like, oh my God, from the wedding, it was far enough.

Tommy: It was like a week or two, two weeks at least. And she's like, thank God. I mean, I wouldn't even think to do something like that, like, let's test the tan. Place. And, uh, and yeah, she absolutely hated it.

Josh: Yeah, I mean, risky if you don't get one much doing it for your wedding day.

Tommy: I mean, I just feel like—

Josh: and the white dress sort of thing, like, just a bit of a nightmare. Bree used to get them every week. She'd actually go to a spray tan lady. Why do we call them that, spray tan ladies? I feel like that's the universal name.

Tommy: Spray tan lady. I knew a few spray tan ladies. Yeah, it was— never knew a spray tan dude. I wonder if there's any spray tan dudes. Like it's quite personal for women. They've got to get down to next to nothing. You had a spray tan mate?

Mason: No I never have one.

Josh: We still have the voucher don't you?

Mason: Yeah yeah I gotta— I got a bottle of Bondi Sands upstairs.

Josh: And a voucher!

Mason: Please no what's the voucher for?

Josh: Did the boys not give you a Bondi like an actual voucher to go in?

Mason: Nah nah they've given me a container to do it at home. Do it at home myself.

Josh: Would you consider doing it for tonight?

Mason: No, not tonight. No.

Tommy: Sorry, mate, was that like the equivalent of my mate buying me a cock pump? Like it was a mock present? Was that an absolute joke?

Mason: Yeah, yeah, that's it.

Tommy: Yeah, but they were slightly being serious.

Mason: Yeah. Oh yeah, oh yeah, definitely. And so it's also, it's the one with built-in SPF or whatever, so it was a bit of a troll as well.

George: Yeah.

Josh: Um, your suit, when was the last time it was worn?

Mason: Uh, 2 and a bit years ago.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: James, you wear it?

Mason: No, James, my sibling wore it.

Tommy: So I, I want—

Mason: it's my suit. I've— so I got it for my formal in year 12.

Tommy: Oh my God, you're actually wearing the, the suit that you bought for your last formal. To the formal.

Mason: Yeah, exactly.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's fitting. It makes sense.

Josh: It's fitting.

Mason: So, and then Jamesy wore it, um, and it's just been hung up, uh, yeah, in the wardrobe ever since.

Tommy: But if anything, you would have gone like a dweeby, you know, a bit bigger than needed suit back then.

Mason: No, no, no, no, no, it was, it was tight. It wasn't real tight, but it was fitted.

Josh: Really?

Mason: That's it.

Josh: Where'd you get it from?

Mason: Politics.

Josh: Man to man. Oh, politics. Okay.

Tommy: Oh geez. It's a nice suit.

Josh: It's quite like—

Mason: I wish—

Josh: Ash Williams' preferred suit brand, isn't it?

Mason: Yeah. Well, the thing is I can't actually get the photos because it's on a Google account that I've locked myself out.

Josh: That's annoying.

Tommy: What do you mean?

Mason: It's so annoying.

Josh: And so, Jamesy's date, she vomited all over the suit. Is that not true?

Mason: Yeah.

George: Oh my God.

Josh: And so has it been cleaned since then? No, no, it hasn't. And so that's what we were seeing, some discoloration.

Tommy: Give me a second.

Josh: Okay. Oh no, I feel like if someone vomits on your suit, there should be some form of dry cleaning arrangement, surely.

Tommy: God, and you know the vomit has happened because there's too many Bacardi breezes. So this—

Mason: yeah, okay. This, um, can you—

Josh: okay, yeah, okay.

Mason: Can you see all this?

Josh: Yes, we can. Yeah, all the white.

Tommy: See some white? Yeah, what's that white stuff?

Mason: That's, that's dried.

Josh: That's—

George: it's on the inside.

Tommy: Vom, bro.

Mason: Yeah, yeah, I know it's dry. It's, um, yeah, it's not, it's not ideal. It definitely needs, it needs a big dry clean, that's for sure.

Josh: Grace says the fact it hasn't been dry cleaned makes me anxious.

George: Yeah, same.

Tommy: Yeah, that's on, that's on, that's on Jamesy though. If you borrow a suit, it's, it's, it's almost like, it's almost like borrowing a car. You fill it up with a bit of petty when you give it back. Yeah, you get it.

Josh: Do you think Jamesy could get it sorted by tonight?

Mason: No, I don't think so.

Josh: Has Jamesy got a suit you could wear?

Mason: No, because he was— Dad's got a suit.

Josh: Yeah, what's he got?

Mason: I think, uh, it might be like a Caliber one or something like that. Potentially. But it's pretty much—

Josh: which is less pathetic, which is less pathetic, wearing dad's suit or wearing the one that's got vomit on it?

Mason: Yeah, look, it's, um, the ties— it's, it's not good. My tie is clean, which is good, and the dad's white shirt is okay.

Tommy: Hang on, I would wear— if I was Seb's, I would wear his suit that has the spew on it before he goes and borrows daddy's suit. Don't you reckon?

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: Emma said, thank God you're not here in person, Grace.

Mason: Oh, I know, it'd be an absolute nightmare.

Josh: Casey asks, are the dry cleaners even open? I would say probably not.

Tommy: I actually walked past one.

Josh: Gem says they are open.

Tommy: Yeah, I walked past one. It's probably one thing that's quite hot in there.

Mason: It's not a bad idea.

Tommy: They're cleaning jackets.

Josh: Yeah, surely you could just, how long would it take for them just to, was it the pants? It's too late.

Tommy: Too late. You could get them pressed but not cleaned. It'd be very like, we've only got a couple hours, you probably have to pay through the nose.

Mason: Yeah, I did ask James just to sniff it to make sure that it was okay, and he— there was no smell.

Josh: So, okay. And so the—

Mason: if I just put cologne on it, or, you know—

Josh: oh no, there's something so pathetic, like adding a lot of cologne just because you stink. It's such a telltale. What cologne is everyone wearing tonight? George, what are you wearing?

George: You know what, I've actually, I actually got the Andy by Hamish cologne.

Josh: I want to smell that.

Tommy: I haven't smelled it.

George: A few years ago.

Josh: I could imagine you being a dupe chump guy, George.

George: Dupe chump? What's that? Is that a type of cologne?

Josh: Yeah, it's a cologne. Yeah, I used to wear it back in the day. Bree loved a dupe. It was very sort of, it's pretty, pretty bogan, I think.

Tommy: I'm wearing a Dior, Dior Homme.

Josh: Sport.

Tommy: Okay, I don't know, I just— I'm so lucky. I went into this chemist once and this sweet, sweet older lady was in there. She's like, 'Can I help you, darl?' And I was like, 'Yeah, I'm looking for a cologne.' And she said, 'Oh, this one, my favorite.' And I was thinking, 'This is going to be horrible.' Anyway, it's my favourite cologne that I've ever had. And, uh, yeah, sweet, sweet, sweet lady got it for me.

Josh: Um, Seb's Yeah, you're gonna wear cologne?

Mason: Yeah, well, so this is— we've— I've got this.

Josh: Dad's got this cologne. What is it?

Mason: Dad's got— no, actually, Dad's— Dad's got my— Dad's got some of my cologne. I gave him the bottle because I— the smell— the smell was okay, but I didn't like it that much.

Tommy: You'd given up. You'd given up impressing people with your smell.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mason: It's, uh, but there's some David Beckham one that I think I'll wear.

Josh: Okay. I mean, cologne's funny, isn't it? Because I used to be a guy who wore cologne every single day.

Tommy: But you were a guy also that wore shirts every single day.

Josh: Yeah, yeah.

Tommy: And so it makes sense, it makes sense to— it almost makes sense for a shirt guy, but just being just like what we wear is very casual, like, you know, it's almost exercise gear or just jeans and a t-shirt. You're really going to build that habit in, don't you? Yeah, of spraying it every morning, every morning. Like, I've got friends that are the scent guy, like, they— I know it's them. It's if I smell, smell it in the street, I'll be like, that's the— yeah, that one, that's my bro. Yeah, my brother's a guy, he's a— I mean, he's manicuring and doing that kind of routine more than anyone I know.

Josh: What do you think about like from a— if you're sort of a base 70 in attractiveness, I'm curious in the comments if you wear like a good scent, how much you could move the needle.

Tommy: I think it depends on the person. Because I think people are, you know, like people are into smelling people, like, you know what I mean? Like, I think it's, um, when I met Amy, I remember what she was wearing. I remember the smell associated with somebody, like, and so I think there are some people that probably don't really, it sort of goes over their head, right? It's like, yeah, whatever. So then it's not their thing.

Josh: So for me, it's the, uh, well, with when I travel, I feel like Bree, has certain sunscreens or whatever that she puts on that I always like. If she puts on that sunscreen, I'm like, that reminds me of, yeah, summer in the US on a road trip.

Tommy: Oh, Stella McCartney. Amy wears that, smells great. Like Tully's, Tully's scent from when we were hanging out with her in LA.

Josh: I still wear it.

Tommy: It's amazing, it's made its way to Mason's suit.

Mason: Yeah.

Tommy: No, but it's, um, that is a very specific smell that when I, you know, it's like now I associate that with her. If I'm walking through the shops and it's very sort of dominant smell and I'm like, that's Tully, where is she?

Josh: I wonder if you took it to the dry cleaner, if they'd take one sniff and go, ah, Tully.

Mason: Gemma says, um, it can bring you up 20%, Josh.

Tommy: A good fragrance.

Mason: 90, 90, 70, 90.

Josh: That's huge, isn't it?

Tommy: That's a Big jump.

Josh: I would love for someone to wear Lynx Africa just to get back to the formal days.

Tommy: Oh yeah, I was thinking also, guys, uh, what drink-wise, like the, the, the pre-mixed drinks back in the day were Bacardi Breezers, uh, UDLs. What else was there? Like, um, what, like watermelon shit, like, uh, what'd you say?

Josh: What's the double black one? Yeah, double black.

Tommy: Double black.

George: Double black.

Josh: And so double black had double the booze, is that the whole thing?

Tommy: I think so, yeah, yeah, that was strong.

George: The other 4 were good. The Lotus absolutely smashed.

Tommy: Yeah. So is there a consideration with what you were— 'Cause I was gonna come—

Josh: My problem with Gem, the whole like drinking, like trying to match your vibe. I guess the other consideration is, are we going for, 'cause this is what Bri was trying to work out, is this throwback formal, trying to bring back that vibe, or— and I feel like potentially we risk some people doing that, so they go for sort of the funny old style, um, outfit versus actually trying to, to look hot.

George: Yeah, I reckon it'll be about half-half. Yeah, it'd be funny.

Tommy: Like, you could go full nostalgic, Josh. You could get the booze that you first drank that made you a bit sick.

Josh: You get the full water bottle pump I could squirt it into and stuff too.

George: Gross.

Tommy: What was your first drink, George? What beverage was it?

George: It was Carlton Draught. So, I can't drink Carlton Draught anymore. It's like I can have anything, any other beer, but that just— and also just bourbon and Cokes and stuff like that. There's a photo of me No, there's a photo of me at our formal after-party. I think I was in— would have been— it must have been year 12, I think. And I'm just walking around with a bottle of Absolut Peach, just drinking it straight out of the bottle.

Josh: Is Absolut Peach still like clear? Is it just peach flavoured or is it actually coloured?

George: I don't know, because the bottle's got like some sort of peachy kind of tint to it, so I can't— I don't know if the, um, the liquid is, but oh, disgusting.

Josh: Gem is saying that it's 2020 formal, it's our do-over, the dress code is cocktail, not retro. Grace says, I've got Prosecco chilling in the fridge. And so, it's all happening.

George: I'll throw another consideration out there. Arrivals, how do we, How do we arrive?

Tommy: Well, I'm getting in with cars. I don't know what you got.

George: I don't know how to do it over Zoom.

Josh: What were you suggesting? What do you have?

George: I don't know. I don't know. Just how do we— do we just go around and say what car we came in?

Tommy: Oh, there was a lot of car photo. Like, so we— Gemma, thank you for, uh, initiating that thread on the Daily Talk Show closed group if you want to join. You'll work it out if you're smart enough. But how's the old cars in that? Like the old Fords and commies? Fuck, so good, so good.

Josh: Yeah, I think the— we don't want to go too retro. I get— I guess you can do whatever you want. I think there is something, uh, in— I mean, in 2020, if you were not doing throwback retro What would you come in? What sort of car?

Tommy: Wasn't— So, I'm doing it now.

Josh: Yeah. Yeah. So, it's not— But the weird thing is that like I— In the early 2000s, you'd go in like a car from the '70s, right? So—

George: Yeah.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: So, are we— But are we just— If you had to pick a car that was manufactured in 2020 to go in, I feel like Seb would do something douchey like a Porsche.

Tommy: You'd be a Porsche. Tesla with the doors opening.

Mason: I was about to say the Model X going like that. Yeah, would be great.

Josh: So we're all going in Teslas then. Cybertruck.

George: Yeah, that's sorted.

Mason: Yeah, I think Emma's just said that Grace and I should take individual photos and then we can Photoshop them together. And Gemma's just seconded that.

Josh: She loves everything.

Tommy: Oh, I love that.

Josh: Yeah, what we could do, some form of— how could we standardize?

Mason: Could we have some photo, like a photo, like a photo wall thing? Can we do a virtual back? I guess surely everyone has a—

Tommy: surely everyone— oh yeah, surely everyone has a white wall or some kind of close to white wall that we could do some kind of photo in front of.

Josh: Grace said she went to her ball in a tram. It was so great. That sounds fucking horrendous. Is it Is it like a Mikey sort of classic, like public transport? Is that what you're talking about, Grace?

George: Are there other people on the tram?

Mason: Yeah, that's an absolute nightmare.

Josh: Yeah, a tram that has— I feel like I'm going to put it out there, Sev's, I think that Grace might be someone who enjoys the Melbourne Cup.

George: What's wrong with that?

Tommy: I mean, that's okay. Melbourne Cup's alright.

Mason: A lot of people enjoy the Melbourne Cup.

Tommy: It's good fun.

Josh: I mean, Gem loves the Melbourne Cup.

Tommy: Is it just because she enjoys a glass of, you know, wine?

Josh: No, just that whole the tram thing gave it up. Public transport, booze up. Again, you know, can turn a blind eye to what happens with the horses just for the sake of some grog.

Mason: She says no, no, no.

Josh: Not a public transport tram. I mean, that's fancy then. If it's a not, how are you getting a private tram on a tram line? How does that work? Whose man owns a tram?

Mason: Glyn says touch on, touch off.

George: Yeah, yeah, I reckon it'd be pretty easy actually. You could just—

Josh: what?

George: You could probably— you know how you see the train?

Josh: You cannot just put a private train on the train.

George: Absolutely. They're coming every like 8 minutes. There'd just be one that just says, sorry, not taking passengers, and then you're in there.

Josh: Is that run by Yarra Trams?

Mason: You can— so you can charter one of Melbourne's iconic trams for private or commercial use.

Josh: Wow. They're saying not on a tram line. How does it work if it's not on a tram line? Isn't that just a bus if it's not on a tram?

George: Just call her and find out. This is too confusing.

Tommy: So, Seb, how much does it cost to charter a tram in Melbourne?

Mason: Great. Well, you have to, you have to go contact VicRoads. Who's the— PTV, Public Transport Victoria.

Josh: Yeah.

George: Wow.

Tommy: Well, there's a restaurant tram in Melbourne I've always wanted to go on. And so if you booked out that whole thing for every guest, you could get it to just take you. But it's, it's, you've only got certain routes that the tram can go down. It's quite limited, to be honest.

Josh: Well, I feel like the eating on a tram seems like an absolute nightmare.

Mason: You're not allowed to. Oh, well, in terms of the one TJ was talking about.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tommy: You gotta pay for it. It's expensive and you had to wait months and months. We were almost gonna go on it because we put our name down and then we got a call saying, hey, we've had a cancellation, would you like to do it? And it was like, not the right time for us to do it. And then so we didn't.

Josh: I mean, I'm just, oh no, I was trying to, I was saying if I could call Grace on Instagram, she didn't answer. So she can't even defend herself.

Mason: Do you want me to FaceTime?

Josh: Well, you're not connected. Last time it was a fucking nightmare because you tried. That's all right, we just, we've worked it out for Melbourne.

Tommy: But, um, yeah, so how would you feel about, uh, me not drinking tonight?

Josh: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you cannot drink.

George: Oh, you're sick.

Tommy: Whiskey, you reckon? Yeah, well, I'm just trying to work out just I mean, I'm feeling better than I did yesterday, but the old me when I was 16, 17 would have just thought definitely I could get so blind that I'll forget that I'm a bit sick. Well, that's—

Josh: so what's the risk in doing that?

Tommy: Oh, other than shitting myself, probably not much. But no, no, getting more sick. I can't get more sick.

Josh: Okay, well, there was that whole incident on the, the boat.

Mason: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, nightmare. I mean, well, at least you could shit your pants at home. It's okay.

Tommy: Have you guys worked—

Josh: you go on, TJ.

Tommy: There's, uh, alcohol-free beer, so you can buy Heineken. It's good. There's quite a big market for it now. Actually alcohol-free beer that tastes like beer. Has anyone had them? Any, any, uh, I'd prefer a lemon lime and bitters, I reckon.

Mason: Oh, that's quite nice. Lemon lime bitters.

Tommy: Yeah. Oh, nice.

Mason: Oh, nice. Oh, that's nice.

Tommy: Oh, that's nice.

Josh: Um, do you like a, um, what's it called, uh, a Firetruck? Do you drink Firetrucks, Seb?

Mason: What's a Firetruck?

Josh: I think it's a—

Mason: is that a Raspberry Coke?

Josh: Yeah, I think it's like— no, I think it's a raspberry soft drink. What do we get?

Mason: Raspberry lemonade and Raspberry Coke. That's quite nice.

Josh: Yeah, I mean, a Cherry Coke I do like. What is the, um, if we were to do an event, like once everything sort of sorts itself out and we can all socialise again, we've obviously got your party that's happening, Sev's, but we know it's very small. But what's the listener— what could we do as a big listener party if we were to sort of start saving now and really building it up and working it out? What could we do?

Tommy: Well, I mean The poster, George, that you put together, grateful for that. Looked amazing.

George: Ah, thanks.

Tommy: It's very much like a dinner and a show. Like I was thinking some kind of get-together, like a formal. So there is the table, you know, it's like a function where you've got the tables and there's alcohol on the tables.

Josh: And then it's essentially like a 21st almost, like you're wanting that.

Tommy: Well, more like you're going to a charity auction. You know, like, have you been— I got a seat at, uh, do you know who Jerry Lewis is? Famous old comedian. I think he's passed away now, but he was just very animated, like one of the OG American comedians. Um, but he, he was in Australia talking, and there was some charity event, and, um, it was run by Mick Gatto, and the, the seats were like $1,000 each. And those things end up getting purchased by, you know, businesses and shit. And then tickets are always given away. So I somehow got a ticket for my brother and I, and we went and, um, had like bottles of rum, bottles of whiskey on the table. It was like all laid out, but it was at, um, Docklands. And the, you know, the tables are all in a big circle, and you got the, you know, uh, chicken or beef, chicken or beef charity event. Well, that's— that was an event raising money for something. So yeah, the hefty ticket prices are sort of— they make sense because it's money going to a good cause. But I was thinking about like that vibe of a like formal occasion being some kind of a show, because they do— like you can sort of curate the style of the show. But seeing that poster made me think about that. I was like, that could be a thing, an event that has some kind of, you know, it's not just a show for an hour and then you're done.

Josh: What about Dracula's?

Tommy: Oh, I've never been.

Josh: Never been. I think it may have closed actually. Dracula's was like a—

Tommy: Because it's so boring.

Josh: It was like a dinner and a show. I never went, but I remember my parents went a bunch.

George: Yeah.

Josh: They went multiple times. Shannon's got the idea of the TDS Christmas party.

George: Oh yeah. We know it's going to come up. Quick now that you're doing 12 shows a week. Episode 1000, that's got to be a good one.

Mason: Yeah, episode 1000 will be, I think, at the end of November or early December.

Tommy: What about a party boat?

Josh: Party boat? Yeah, I mean, Russ suggested that in the comments, a party boat or a brewery. I think, um, I mean, you've had some bad experiences with the party boats.

Tommy: Yeah, look, I've got a I haven't stepped foot on a party boat where I haven't shat myself. So I've only been on one party boat and shat myself. I'm one for one.

Josh: So I want to make it— How much are you paying for it being a boat? That's what I worry about.

Mason: Probably a fair bit.

Tommy: I don't think it— like, they're not that expensive. The person who had this party wasn't affluent. They're pretty, they're pretty dingy, dude. It is like—

Josh: Are they sharing it with someone else? Was it like a—

Tommy: No, it's a shitty RSL on the water. That's what it is.

Mason: Really?

Tommy: So it's just a basic, basic bar, basic dance floor, and then a top level. It's, um, Josh, get a DJ.

Josh: Yeah, I mean, the thing is I haven't had the time to really learn the DJ software, so I'm sort of just going to be transitioning the songs. I'm not doing any looping because I, I had to sort of connect headphones and it's quite complicated. Complicated. But yeah, George, eventually by then I should be quite good.

Tommy: And then, um, but also don't worry because you know no one's going to say anything to you now, Josh.

Josh: Well, Bree said, um, she sort of brought up like, Josh, do you really want to be a DJ? Is that sort of the brand that you want? And I saw Leon Shogren DJing and I was like, you know what, there's something really cool about Leon DJing, but also something—

George: I don't think you want to be a DJ, but you just have to be in control of whatever's happening.

Josh: Yeah, yeah.

Tommy: I mean, power is power, right?

Josh: And so what's an alternative that I could sort of still get that control without being a DJ?

Tommy: Pay somebody that you could micromanage.

Josh: We've already done that. Maybe Seb, you could DJ and I can just sort of be in the back just like, next, click next. Um, yeah, I think live music's better than DJing anyway.

George: I've—

Josh: I said it, um, the other day, the song that I've been— I wrote down a segment that I want to do that's, um, our song of the week. We can all go around the song that's just getting heaps of plays. For me, Pete Murray's track opportunity. I have been playing non-stop all week, and I'd love for him to do it live on the show one day.

Mason: Yeah, yeah.

Tommy: George, what are you playing this week then?

George: Uh, so this week I'm playing a song by Parcels, which is like a funky kind of— they're, they're back. They were from Byron, but now they live in Berlin. They're like kind of electronic synth.

Josh: It was actually the— they were the Australia Post band, weren't they? And then they sort of split out of that.

George: Is that a joke?

Josh: Yeah, they're called Puzzles.

George: Yeah, that's a joke.

Josh: Do you remember going to school and there would be the— the police had a band? I was like, how the fuck did these— like, shouldn't they be arresting people? But that'd be like, fucking, there's a guy playing the drums and there's fucking lead singer and shit. It was a way of engaging with the community. I was like, if I was ever a cop, that would be the type of cop— oh, sorry, the cop— the type of cop that I'd be.

George: Okay, yeah, um, the song's called— the song's called I Know How I Feel. It's a great song. Sorry, go on.

Josh: And it's synth, it's sort of— it sounds appropriate for DJing.

George: Yeah, oh, this— it's so fun. There's 5 of them in the band and they do 5, uh, 5-piece harmonies. Beautiful stuff. Everyone should listen.

Josh: Have you seen them live?

George: Yeah, they're great live. They're so good.

Josh: Okay, that's impressive. All right, Seb, what have you got for us?

Mason: Uh, I've been listening to, uh, Ed Sheeran and Andrea Bocelli, The Perfect Symphony.

Tommy: God, you're in love, aren't you? Fucking Jesus Christ, just voice of angels.

Josh: It wasn't that— wasn't Grace posting about that guy?

Mason: Yeah, he did a little concert on, um, YouTube, and I think it was streamed.

Josh: And so yeah, he's sharing playlists.

Mason: No, not yet. I don't think Grace likes my taste in music, to be honest.

Tommy: Well, to be fair, that's too much Justin Bieber, you know. That sounds kind of off, other than Ed Sheeran being a part of that. Andrei Bocelli.

Josh: Off as in off what Seb's normal taste?

Tommy: Off his normal genre.

Josh: Do you think that you're sort of— do you feel like you're trying to impress me?

Mason: No, I— no, because I, I liked that song when it came out anyway. But it's just, it was sort of a reminder and I haven't listened to it in a while, so.

Josh: Okay.

Mason: And I'm getting a little bit sick of Justin Bieber on repeat, so.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Mix it up.

Josh: Grace says Andrea Bocelli, yes, my fave.

George: Yeah.

Mason: I think just a quick update, by the way, can you guys see that?

Josh: Yeah, so this is a tram.

Mason: Grace sent through an update. This is the tram on wheels.

Tommy: Okay. Grace, that's not a tram, mate.

George: That's a bus.

Tommy: Yeah, it is looking like a tram. It's definitely not a tram.

Josh: It's a modified bus.

Tommy: Has Grace ever been to Melbourne? Has Grace ever seen a tram?

Josh: Has Grace been to Melbourne?

Mason: Yeah, she's been to Melbourne.

George: Okay.

Josh: Very cute. Maybe you could go on the City Circle as a date if she loves her tram.

Tommy: Well, the best thing about that, Josh, is it's free and you know Seb loves a lunch pack.

Josh: Yeah, that'd be good.

Tommy: He's had a date for free. Oh, we're going to get off. Why are we getting off? This is the next stop. Into the free tram zone.

Josh: Could you? It's definitely going to be an entertainment guide weekend where Seb's just out the entertainment guide. Coupons.

Mason: Coupon.

Josh: We're going to Taco Bell.

Tommy: The boys gave me these. Tommy gave me these movie tickets. He got them from when that real estate agent came to his house.

Josh: Quiet Saturday night, no free tickets.

Tommy: What have I been listening to? G-Eazy. Oh yeah, that song. G-Eazy's new song.

Josh: Who is G-Eazy?

Tommy: G-Eazy. Yep. Jared. Still Be Friends. It's a song that came out. And also Jack Harlow, What's Poppin'. And Bodhi says it now. What's poppin'? What's poppin'?

Josh: So where is he from?

George: Where—

Josh: what's— is he from the States? Something.

Tommy: Yeah, they're both from the States. Yeah, I mean, most of them.

Josh: Jasna's asking George, do you know of Tay Oski who lives in Byron? Or Oski? Uh, he's such a great singer. Have you heard of him?

George: Uh, no, I don't. Sorry.

Josh: Okay, you don't know everyone in Byron?

George: No, no, I don't know that guy.

Tommy: All right, I tell you what I'm gonna do right now. I'm gonna walk to the bottle shop So what are you gonna get?

Josh: A non-alcoholic?

Tommy: Well, I've got to get— I'd have to get non-alcoholic beer from the bottle shop, but I'm just— I don't know, I might be— I'm gonna walk to Dan Murphy's.

George: Get a little whiskey.

Tommy: Little, like a little, little one?

George: Just a flask?

Tommy: Yeah, just a flask. It's a good idea.

Josh: We found another bottle opener. So like a, um, uh, for corks and shit. Yep.

Tommy: Fuck yeah.

Josh: And he was fucking selling— the guy at Dan Murphy's, absolutely lovely guy, but he was just selling us. So it was $6. He sold us a bottle of red wine because Bray really loved the one from Adelaide that we got the other day, but we didn't take a photo. He's like, this one's from Adelaide and it was only $13, right? And so we're like, fuck. Like he's like, and it's like flying off the shelves. People are loving it. And so we're like, okay, we'll get that.

Tommy: You bought 24.

Josh: No, no, we just got the one. But then he, but then we said, oh, we need a cork. Thingy. And he's like, oh, this one, I carry it everywhere. He pulls it out of his pocket. He's like, I've been using this for years. $6.

George: Right, that's good.

Tommy: At least it wasn't a high-priced one. No, I mean, you can just use shitty ones too.

Josh: What's a high price? Like, because I feel like those little accessories I could get behind. Like what, George? I feel like you would have a high-priced cork opener or whatever they're called. Yeah, wine opener. What did you pay for yours?

George: Tani.

Mason: No, no.

George: So, Tani, who I live with, my best mate, he works at Vinomofo. And so, we actually, we've got, I reckon, he just bought a 72 wine rack, 72 bottle wine rack, because we've got too much wine.

Mason: Really?

George: So, I reckon by the end of the week, we just keep getting like cases delivered. By the end of the week, we'll have like over 70 bottles of wine at home.

Josh: So, what happens with drinking it? If Tani's bringing all this wine home, are you just helping yourself?

George: He just, yeah, just opens them and—

Josh: So, are you allowed to—

George: Can you do it?

Mason: Are you allowed to go and open one?

Josh: Yeah.

George: Well, I don't know what the good stuff is. He's in charge of the wine, drinking it.

Mason: Would you be told off if you went and grabbed one and opened it up without him knowing?

George: I reckon he could be like, these are the ones that you can go for, but not these ones because I'm ageing these or whatever.

Josh: But you've never had that conversation before. And so you have to wait for Tani.

Tommy: He said he's in charge of it. Yeah, he said he's in charge of the wine.

George: Yeah. So he's in charge of all the wine.

Josh: Thursday night he's out or something. Do you ever buy your own wine? Not really, to be honest. So if Tani's not drinking, you're not drinking.

George: He'll probably— there'll be something open that we can have for sure.

Tommy: George, how many bedrooms are in your house?

George: How many bedrooms do you got? 3.

Tommy: I was gonna say, Tony, he's not dating your sister, is he? Or there's 3? No, no, that's fine.

George: Yeah, 3 bedrooms. Yeah, got it.

Tommy: I'm just trying to get the lay of the land, you know.

George: All good. Yeah, get the family tree going.

Josh: Yeah.

Mason: Oh yeah, great.

George: Um, I just saw— sorry guys, I just saw that, uh, Emma got her book delivered from my mum. So, oh great.

Mason: Oh great.

George: Yeah.

Josh: Oh, so she also said on the book, we can, after kick-ons, we'll do, let's all read for half an hour.

Mason: Just absolutely not.

Tommy: Let's try and make it through kick-ons this week. What time are we finishing kick-ons?

Josh: 9?

Tommy: I don't know. What time are you finishing it?

Josh: Well, I think that we just need to be clear because I wasn't— Jasna said something and she's retracted the message, so it must have been pretty bad.

Tommy: Um, I think everything isn't always negative.

Josh: Why would Jasna take a message and then retract it?

Mason: She might have—

Tommy: because she fucked the spelling. Yeah, hyper-anxious about being called out for a spelling. I get it. Maybe.

Josh: Yeah, I get it. Yeah, or maybe she said something.

George: Anyway, sorry Jasna, I will look up Tayoski. I'll listen to his stuff.

Josh: Um, the, uh, yeah, so last week I'd sort of— I said to Bray, I will do dinner together, and that obviously creates an end time. I think that it would be good. I think that there is a bit of, um, anxiety in knowing when it finishes because as the DJ, all of a sudden you're cementing whether you think the night is going well or not. And maybe last week's early exit was an indication of how I was feeling.

Tommy: No, it 100% was. A DJ set is a DJ set. They get given their times, and usually there's someone else going to take over or the club closes.

Josh: And so we need to figure that out. But also, I'm going to drink a lot earlier. So the mistake I made, um, last week was I didn't realise this, but I thought Bree had opened up a bottle of wine and she was drinking one and I was drinking one, but I wasn't paying attention. She was drinking from my bottle, so I thought I'd had a bottle and I'm like, man, I'm not feeling this. I had too much cheese, but I'd had like fucking 2 glasses of red and I'm like wondering why I'm not fucking buzzing. And that obviously set me into this fucking spiral of like, fuck, I need more. I need more. But so what I'm going to do is today I'll have a bottle done before we get on, just so I'm not drinking. No, don't do that.

Mason: A whole bottle? No, no, no.

Tommy: Don't do that, you fucking animal. You're an animal.

Josh: Too much?

Tommy: Way too much.

Mason: Have a glass.

Josh: 3/4.

Tommy: Have a glass 15 minutes before. Just don't eat 7 kilos of macaroni cheese like last time. You're an animal.

Josh: I reckon half a bottle would, I think, get you into the tipsy mode.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: And so What do you think, George? I mean, you, you don't look impressed.

George: No, have half a bottle for sure. Have a whole bottle by the end of the show.

Tommy: You know what, this is so a year 12 formal conversation about how much we're going to have consumed before we do increase. Like, most people just, you know, you're just like, we're meeting at the pub, you haven't even thought about how much you're going to drink.

Josh: Well, I would just like to— No, there's a part of me that like, it'd be great if the Friday night drinks was a safe space. I've never really been drunk before, like in a proper, in a proper way. Like I've fallen into my bed to go to sleep, but not like, I've never vomited from alcohol. I've never—

Mason: Oh, you don't wanna vomit.

Josh: Well, not even that, but I've never been out of control. I've never felt out of control. And so it would be nice on one Friday, like, I feel like especially for the formal.

Mason: Do you not think you were out of control when we were in LA? I felt like I was a little bit out of control. I couldn't stand, I couldn't stand properly.

Josh: I was like, I wasn't that— no, I reckon I walked into a doorframe. I was still walking fine. We walked, we walked to Norm's Diner.

Mason: I don't even remember that.

Tommy: Yeah, good times.

Josh: And so I think just, I think it would be I don't think it would be fun for the show. I think that if it was during the show, I could imagine people being really pissed about it. Like, just like, this guy's fucking like, send him somewhere, you know? But I think that it'd be nice. Is there any, is there ever a time that we can accept as a community that it's okay to be absolutely blotto?

George: Like blotto?

Tommy: As in accept as a community, just in general?

Josh: Like as in the whole Gronkh Squad or even I guess a Gronk Squad is just a reflection of the broader community as well. Is it ever acceptable to be like, you know what, do it, go hard?

Tommy: I think that that was the problem with being young, premeditated thinking about this.

Josh: Like, everything's premeditated.

Tommy: As I got further—

Josh: The mistake I made was I tried to go with the vibe last week. That's not happening this way. Yeah, this is—

Mason: how much music do you have? Do you reckon you could do a 2-hour set?

Josh: Yeah, definitely.

Mason: Okay.

Josh: And I've got the tempo control, so if songs are too slow, I speed them up.

Tommy: I think the thing is, Josh, you drink it— you drink wine and wine only. The, the chance of being just absolutely fuck-eyed from wine, yeah, you get there, but you also get so sick of The taste of red, your face is, your lips are red. Like George, how many times have you been smashed at, what's it called, Monkey in Byron?

George: What's that?

Tommy: Cheeky Monkeys. But I'm sure it's consisted of Jagerbombs, Double Blacks, just like sculling a pint. Like you haven't thought about it. Whereas that, Josh, you're more considered because you're an adult now. You don't do that shit and you don't want to do that shit.

Josh: But I want to be more like George. George, what would you do if you're my mentor for sort of how to, like, I love, I'm going to start listening to the music that you're listening to, I think I'm gonna get that jacket too.

Mason: You need the hat as well.

Josh: Yeah, I wanna be George. I'm really liking George's vibe. I just think—

George: I wanna be you.

Josh: No, no, you don't. Well, see, that's the thing. That's how you're getting me.

George: Yeah, I do.

Josh: No, no, you don't. No, you're a hipster, but you wouldn't say it. And you're calm, but you think that you're not. Like, you're just a fun person to be around. So, George, If it was you, if you were me tonight, but I was more like you, how would you handle this whole DJ thing, the whole party drinking?

George: I would just think about it way less, like what's Tommy saying. Don't think about it, just get a bottle of wine.

Josh: But you know that by not thinking, something happens. The thing that I don't get about this whole don't think, if you don't think Who— how does it happen?

George: It just does. It somehow just—

Mason: once you're pissed, once you have enough—

Tommy: sorry, years of training. Like, when Amy first met me, because she didn't drink much, she was blown away by how once I got a taste for it, I was like, yeah, fucking all right, where are we going next? Like, when we were at— I was being out with Jules or something, and I'm still going, and I'm like, yeah, next bar, like, fucking over here, let's get on.

Josh: That was the coke habit that Wasn't that the issue?

Tommy: No, absolutely not. Absolutely not. Too expensive. Anyway, um, you— the thing is, it's just a momentum thing. Like, you're out drinking George and you're at the 7th bar and you just fucking—

Josh: exactly.

Tommy: I think you're having the best night. Anyone?

George: Yeah, the best nights are the ones that you just have, you know, no, no plan for, or you think they're going to be a quiet one and then all of a sudden you just— you're gone. Great.

Josh: And that's my point, I guess. My point is that like For momentum, it's very hard. It's very hard to build momentum if you start drinking when— that— this is why there's pre's. This is what I never understood. Pre-drinks. I'm like, pre-drinks, it sounds like an event.

George: But yeah, why don't we do pre's tonight?

Josh: Allowance.

George: 3:30.

Tommy: Jesus.

Josh: I think it's good.

Mason: Are we going— so we're going through till 8, 8, or when are we finishing? So if the episode goes from 4 to 5, give me a second.

Tommy: Yeah, okay.

Mason: I'm thinking like 4 till 5 the episode. You've got another 3 hours is a long time. Well, 5 to 11.

Tommy: This is, this is the thing. It sounds like that, but George, how many times have you done a session where 6 hours has gone past and you're like, all right, what do we do now? Like, it's unbelievable how the time can fly when you're just talking shit.

George: So it does, it flies.

Tommy: Anyway, what'd you say to the boss? The boss said 8.

Josh: But she said, but do 9. She's like, and I feel very comfortable. You know how sometimes when your partner says something and it's a trap? This isn't a trap. She's cool with 9. She's cool. I think that with the depression that I went into over the weekend, she knows that like, Jesus Christ. Let's just, let's get this going.

Mason: You can't have that spiral again. Yeah.

Josh: No, no, that took 4 days. Long weekend. That took 4 days.

Mason: It's a nightmare.

Tommy: Hey, I think, yeah, do the show roughly, we factor an hour for that. And then by the time, like after, I don't think it was due to what happened last week, but by an hour's time, I think we'd lost 85% of people.

Josh: And I think that was, to be honest, that was my energy. And then I got in my head with people like, hey, you're a bit tired tonight, JJ. And that's all I have got, my internal monologue, and then I've got the gronks. Whereas I think if we go in hard with Josh is fired up tonight, fuck, like look at the energy Josh is bringing, that will be sort of, it's like the Donald Trump thing. Like I need, I almost need George, can you make me a promo? Just a little 30-seconder that I can watch, little pump up about why I'm great. Maybe I just need Basil on the phone. Yeah.

George: Yeah, get Basil on the phone.

Tommy: Oh, he's coming on the show. He's coming on.

George: He's coming on.

Tommy: All right guys, let's all sort of disperse and, you know, go get ready for this formal. Get your hair done, get your spray tans happening, get your—

Josh: Well, Seb thinks it's irresponsible for me to go to the barber, so I'm not going.

Mason: Slightly.

Tommy: I just—

Josh: Seb.

Tommy: Nah, I just— I think it's fine.

Mason: I just don't think it's a good call. You're fine, your hair's fine, it's great.

Josh: Fine, great.

Mason: It's nice.

Josh: Okay, all right, it's a daily talk show, 4 PM. We're going on Zoom. That's when the doors open. Praise from 3. I'm going to start doing Insta Stories from 3. Okay, so you're going to win.

Mason: Praise at 3.

Josh: Okay, praise at 3. So if you guys want to get in on the praise, start doing—

Mason: are we, are we Zooming it?

Tommy: Oh no, no, no, I think we're not Zooming the show for fun. No, no, I reckon— when are you sending out the email? Because people were worrying last week. I think people start thinking, fuck, where is this? Where's this link?

Mason: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I mean, I can— I'll send it after the show. I mean, but that was even before midday, people were freaking.

Tommy: Yeah, mate, it's a priority. I mean, people have a lot of time to think about this and they're concerned and they don't want to miss it.

Mason: So yeah, no, I get, I get, I get, I get with the formal. That makes sense. But last week, anyway, yeah, okay, last week was nothing.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, this is great.

Mason: This is like 3 and a bit hours. It's all good.

Josh: Seriously, this is going to be one of the best things we've ever done.

George: All right guys, I reckon it's going to be a huge turnout tonight, to be honest.

Tommy: Yeah, if we can break 50, I want 80.

George: I reckon it'll be, I reckon it'll be 60 plus.

Josh: I think we need over 100. And, um, I'm going to—

Mason: you're going to have an absolute meltdown if it's not like—

Josh: I'm just, uh, nah, because I'll be chill. I'll have my wine in me, I'll be all good. But anyway, if you want to join that, go to thedailytalkshow.com.
