Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 686.

Gemma: This is a beautiful committee, baby.
Tommy: Well, if you're listening to this episode, I suggest you jump onto YouTube because You can see a plethora of gronks, which you don't normally see. What's the word if there's a flock, if there's a gaggle of geese?
Gemma: Oh yeah, we need a collective noun.
Tommy: Of gronks.
Josh: A herd of gronks.
Tommy: A herd. What are the other nouns?
Gemma: It's got to be original.
Tommy: You're the smart one here, Gemma.
Gemma: Oh, no, I'm not. That's what Marty Seven is.
Tommy: Oh yeah, true.
Gemma: I'm the pretty one.
Josh: You're the copywriter. Surely you've got something.
Gemma: I'm actually just in the middle of posting on IGTV, so I'll be with you in a second.
Tommy: That's fine. Guys, this is big. This is the first, the first, the Daily Talk Show formal. We're in isolation. We've all dressed up and I can, and I must say everyone is looking absolutely amazing.
Josh: Stunning, stunning, stunning, beautiful, stunning. TJ, we've organised a surprise which will happen around mid-show. Sevs, can you give us an update on how many minutes until we have our surprise?
Tommy: At the moment, the ETA is 4:30.
Josh: 4:30, we'll be home.
Gemma: Oh my God, I bet I know what it is.
Josh: I know what it is.
Tommy: Oh my God. And if I disappear, guys, I may be knocking on your door as a stripper. But it probably won't. It probably won't happen.
Josh: I mean, you've got Harry. Showbaker's clapping her hands. Showbaker, please unmute. She's currently doing pray hands. How are you, Showbaker?
Gemma: I'm good, thank you. I have done so much effort.
Josh: It's paid off. Yeah, definitely. I mean, that's the thing, effort. Ian's, he first week he was looking after his internet, the second one. Ian, where have you got this, this, this number from? I've just unmuted you. You're gonna have to accept the unmute. Can you tell us about this suit? Oh, this is just, just, just a Monday to Friday number.
Tommy: What is it, a pink bow tie and a cream suit?
Josh: Yeah. Well, it's a sort of pinky colored, um, jacket, which, uh, pinky. I must, um, fess up a little bit. I only sort of went, uh, he's got no pants on.
Tommy: He's got no pants on.
Josh: Definitely. No, I can get away with it. What undies are you rocking? The shorts. No, we appreciate it. I mean, I think that most people TJ, have you gone for the whole look or have you sort of copped out when it comes to that?
Tommy: No, I even wore a new pair of underwear. Oh, really? Yeah, I'm fully—
Josh: look. From the packet. Wowee. Oh, wow. Oh, because she's small. Who's wearing underwear? It's isolation. Yeah, no.
Tommy: I'm pumped. And I even said I wasn't going to drink, but I went to Dan Murphy's and he's quite influential, if anything. He's a bully, a peer pressure bully. And I bought a bottle of red and I also got Sweet 16 water juice, which is a Woodstock Bourbon can, which I haven't had one of these in probably 15 years.
Josh: Does it bring good memories? No.
Tommy: I used to drink these and walk the streets of Sandringham for no good reason.
Josh: That sounds like a great night.
Tommy: And then we'd be sitting in the skate bowl looking up at the stars and seeing, you know, like, what do they call it, like satellites. Drift across. I was just like, wow, the, you know, the world's my oyster. Look at me now.
Gemma: I'm drinking something called a Brighton Spritz in your honor, TJ.
Josh: Oh yeah? What's in a Brighton Spritz?
Gemma: Let me read it off.
Tommy: Other Nick Rewoldt.
Gemma: Um, pear, fig, and Pinot Grigio.
Josh: Okay, that sounds good.
Gemma: But it's from a can.
Josh: But the pear fig bit, is that just a juice?
Gemma: Look, if I had the answer for you, I would give it to you. However, given that it has come from a can, I do not know.
Tommy: I do not know.
Josh: Can I just say in the YouTube comments, Joanne Jackett, TJ's mum, has just said, "Morning, Shannon." Good gear.
Tommy: And, uh, really, Tidu also says, uh, "Morning, gronks." Uh, Casey says, "A gaggle of gronks." A gaggle of gronks. It does rhyme. It is kind of nice. Hey guys, in terms of your— there's not— I mean, we've got like 80% females here. And I'm sure that your dresses don't have pockets. But I found a— I'm thankful it's my wife's lippy, but I found this lippy which she doesn't know she's lost.
Gemma: This is— It's MAC. What colour is it?
Tommy: It's actually quite nice. Should I put some on?
Josh: Is there a way of telling the exact— Gemma, is there a way of telling the exact—
Gemma: Oh, yeah.
Tommy: Gemma, it is a Creme Machine Modesty. Creme Machine. Creme Machine. Yeah. So Bodhi, we walked into the walk-in wardrobe and he used Amy's current lipstick, which she loves, and drawn on the carpet and snapped it.
Josh: Oh, that's another—
Gemma: Can you send me the details, please? I can arrange.
Tommy: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, she'll be— this is a good one. Has anyone found anything similar? Sort of— I could imagine Derek's pulled out, you know, any dirty tissues, Derek. Things are—
Josh: I cleaned out my shed the other day and I found— to make an office for Fiona and the kids and all that, and everybody except me. And I found a dead rat, mummified dead rat in the corner. I found— what makes it mummified?
Tommy: Well, mummified, I guess, is it still looks like a rat.
Josh: But it's dry and weightless and sort of harmless. And so you picked it up? Well, no, I screamed and ran away and then came back, showed the kids, and scooped it into— could be a science experiment. How are you going having the kids in homeschool? Is it, is it counted as homeschool?
Tommy: It's called homeschool.
Josh: Yeah, if I'm doing it here in the studio. Wait, so there's no teachers, you're doing it yourself, or that's it?
Tommy: Yeah.
Josh: Why is that? Is that, is that what's happening in Victoria? Yeah, there's no, no kids aren't at school.
Tommy: Kids are on Zoom though, aren't they? Yeah, look, my kids haven't used the Zoom yet, but the teachers send them emails and give them things to do for the day.
Josh: But the teachers do lectures and classes and shit, or no? No, no, maybe the private schools probably do. Look, they're all at different levels. The state schools, the teachers have been madly over the holidays and the extra week, madly trying to work out what the fuck to do. And they've done it so far.
Tommy: I mean, you can see on Facebook, the parents all freaking out going, I haven't heard from my teacher yet, or I haven't done this, or is this supposed to be it?
Josh: That feels like we're left alone. But they're gonna— in the next few weeks, it'll pan out.
Tommy: It's not the end of the world for primary school. Is it just the more you pay, the more they will take care of the business, take care of it for you?
Josh: Nah, I don't think so.
Tommy: The posh schools shut down before the state schools, so they probably had that extra week to work out what to do. Yeah, they wanted everyone to be able to get down to the holiday house before they could put that, you know, ban enforced across the nation.
Josh: TJ, before we get started, I thought it would be good to get Basil to give me a bit of a pump-up. Basil, what have you got? Like, just to pump us all up. What are you thinking? Oh God, I don't know.
Tommy: I mean, how embarrassing to have your heart read out on a live stream. No, hello, Gronk Life. How's everyone going?
Gemma: Basil, the grey suit is such a good choice.
Josh: Yeah, it looks great.
Tommy: Thank you, thank you.
Josh: I mean, all of my other suits are weirdly at my folks' house in Bendigo. So this definitely doesn't do up.
Tommy: That's fine.
Josh: So let's not try and do that.
Gemma: You didn't tell us. Absolutely could have gotten away with it.
Tommy: You've also—
Gemma: Thank you.
Tommy: Basil, you've also got that, uh, I can't be fucked 16-year-old. I'll, you know, I'll learn how to do my tie another year, which you never get around to and you never know how to do your tie.
Josh: I reckon doing up your suit is a good indicator that you're not living your life.
Tommy: No, Josh, you know, do you know the rule? Do you know the rule? Sometimes, always, never. Yeah, sometimes, always, never.
Josh: I've gone with never, never, never is mine.
Tommy: Sometimes I used to be able to, never. That's, that's what mine is.
Josh: Have you, TJ, have you got your buttons No, I can't.
Tommy: I am definitely— I was, you know, more lean individual the time that I had this suit fitted. And I've since, yeah, just been living that good life in bullying.
Josh: And so Basil, give us a pump up. I mean, give us some optimism. You're an optimistic guy. What have you been thinking about?
Tommy: I am. And I'm even more optimistic when I've had a couple of rums. But I think everyone, your superpower is 20 times more powerful than you think.
Josh: Right? Bree asked if you'd been drinking. Had you been drinking?
Gemma: That was my first thought too, if I'm honest.
Josh: Sorry, was that, Jen?
Gemma: That was my first thought as well. I was like, he's pissed.
Josh: Towards the end of the night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, very much so. But at the start, like at the top of the show, I cracked my first beer when we went live. So all of the love at the top was like, was pretty sober.
Tommy: But yeah.
Gemma: Where were you at for trust in Bree?
Josh: Trust in Bree.
Tommy: I was towards the deep end of the swimming pool, you know.
Josh: She loved it, by the way. She was like, fuck, Baz, I like Baz.
Tommy: I stand by everything.
Josh: I just wish there was less spelling mistakes. But, you know, that's about it. So I was wondering about George. Did you just transcribe it or how did you get— because that sounds annoying.
Tommy: Thanks, Georgie. I added in some emojis for you too.
Josh: Did you see those? Preshow.
Tommy: I feel like that'd be something you'd send when you said your superpower is stronger than you think. You'd probably put in the—
Josh: yeah, 100%, baby. George, you look stunning. You look like you work at Attica. Oh, how's the hair? Thank you very much. What are you drinking? Just beer.
Tommy: I panicked and got beer.
Gemma: Do you have a full bar set up to the side there?
Josh: Yeah, pretty much.
Tommy: No, Gemma, he's packing down from an event that he had last night at the restaurant.
Josh: Can I introduce you to some boys? Yeah, sure.
Tommy: My formal date.
Josh: This is my version of the Coconut Crew. These are the boys I went to school with. Reservoir Dogs Rob in the middle. Wait, we can't see anything.
Tommy: Oh, there he is.
Josh: Oh, hey, Robbie.
Gemma: I was like, this is one of Georgia's boys.
Josh: So, Robbie, I took off my sunnies because it was too much. You might want to do the same. Do you want me to do the— Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see your eyes. I can't trust anyone. I had them off before. Beautiful. I reckon you're going to love this, Josh. Dark brown. This is going to be great for your ego. I reckon, Rob, I reckon you introduced me to Josh speaking on my podcast. Yeah, I think I actually did, yeah. Oh my God, look at these.
Tommy: Look at Josh's eyes. They've rolled back into the back of his head. This is fun.
Josh: The Ryan Shelton episode in particular. Oh, great. Yeah, I appreciate that. I think I showed that to George. Yeah, he did.
Tommy: I appreciate it. And so was that while you were living in Byron, George?
Josh: No, so this is Canberra.
Tommy: Canberra? We went to Canberra school together.
Josh: The next one down here is Larry.
Tommy: It's 2 AM where he is. He's in Kentucky.
Josh: I'm just unmuting you, Larry.
Tommy: Where's Larry? Hey, Larry. With Jessie, his wife.
Josh: Oh, good day, Larry. It's the middle of the night.
Tommy: So, we didn't actually get to go to formal together, the three of us, because—
Josh: Is Larry legit? That's Larry legit. Because, well, Robbie just stopped going to school pretty much, so they sort of expelled him. What time did you— when did you finish, Larry? What year? No, that was Rob. Oh, Rob, sorry. I'm pissed.
Tommy: It's edible.
Josh: Halfway through Year 12, they kind of just said, look, mate, you're not going to finish. So you kind of just have to leave. Yeah, didn't have a choice. Yeah, yeah. But, and I mean, I did, I did have a choice. I could have, you know, knuckled in and actually did some work, but that wasn't a good option for you. Yeah, I was saying that too. Did you do a, um, like an apprenticeship or something? What do you do, Robbie? Uh, what, well, I went to, uh, kind of like a TAFE, I guess, after that in Canberra. Um, CIT, just did like filmmaking and stuff like that. Me and George always did kind of filmmaking stuff.
Gemma: Okay.
Josh: I went to AFTRS a few years after that.
Tommy: Robbie, is it true that you're actually currently in prison?
Gemma: Yes.
Tommy: Sorry, what do you mean? No, I'm joking. Imagine if that was a really sad story. It's like, yeah, look, Josh, I've been hard done by. I'm currently Been out of work 6 years.
Josh: Yeah, it could have gone either way, but no, I believe in Robbie. I could tell based on his tie that he was okay. Really quickly, so we didn't get to go to the formal together, the 3 of us, because yeah, Rob was finished school. Larry was at boarding school in Albury, so he wasn't actually— That was in Year 10, George. Okay, this is Year 10. What actually happens in boarding school? Because like, I have no idea about boarding school. What's the deal, Larry? What do you do? It's actually pretty fun. You get to hang out with your friends all day and live with them when you're like 15. So you get up to mischief. And so do you, is it like sleeping in the same sort of room mischief or what sort of mischief? Yeah, there was like, yeah, there was. It was kind of like, there was like an office where there's little half-wall dividers. So everyone had their own little room, but you could just, There's no doors or anything like that. Were you naughty? How did you get to boarding school?
Gemma: Yeah, I was a little naughty.
Josh: My parents had to send me there for a, uh, to be less naughty. And so, you, Larry, were naughty. Robbie was naughty. And so, George, are you a naughty boy? I wasn't that naughty. Were you a naughty boy? I wasn't so much naughty, just to clarify. I was just kind of disinterested in the school curriculum.
Tommy: Your parole officer would say something different about that.
Josh: Corrections are done. For the most part, they're done. So, this is year 10, right?
Tommy: So, we had our formal. I went and we said, Larry, you got to come. You got to somehow get here. So, he was in boarding school and he told the teacher that he was just going to go to the toilet or something and snuck off, got on a bus, busted up to Canberra like 5 hours. He was like a missing person.
Josh: It was great. Why do you go to Canberra? Like, I mean, that's a pretty— that's an outrageous thing.
Tommy: For the after-party, to hang out with us.
Josh: I guess when he was 15.
Tommy: So hey, that's an absolute effort. It was absolutely okay.
Josh: I'm glad someone appreciates the work I put in to see the boys. Yeah, exactly. Seb, are you saying okay to me? Yeah. Clap too much?
Tommy: Yeah, well, I wasn't sure what we were doing.
Josh: You guys are going to have to drive the show because Mike's pretty—
Tommy: so Josh is, um, he's had a bottle of wine to himself. And so he seems quite loving at this point. So I'm all for it. I'm here for it, Josh. I'm absolutely here for it.
Josh: But why are my eyes watering? Is that a cause?
Tommy: It's all good. You're having a ball.
Josh: I'm having a ball. I feel good. So we've got an update on the surprise. How long till?
Tommy: Still, so still, still 4:30.
Josh: Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
Tommy: Well, what would sort of take us out to that surprise is Queen Gronkh sort of laying down some formalities for the formal. Take it away, Gemma.
Gemma: Okay, so just with the formal stuff, if you want to smoke, you have to go outside. There is a designated area just around the corner of the building. Fortunately, we don't have any teacher supervisors here today, so that's really cool. I'm really glad we were able to wrangle that. Dinner will be served a little bit later, but thank you to everyone who sent through your dietaries. Please also, if you haven't watched the Jamaica King formal committee video, please watch that because this is heavily borrowed. Also, best dressed will be announced a little bit later. I have done a really nice thing and taken myself out of the running for obvious reasons. I think you all look great and let's just celebrate and have a really good time. Cheers everyone.
Josh: Cheers.
Gemma: Party glasses, taking a sip.
Josh: Cheers everyone.
Tommy: Go Josh.
Josh: Why are you saying go Josh?
Tommy: Where's your drink?
Josh: Are you done for? No, no, no. Bottle.
Tommy: I'm opening my Woodstock, guys. We do have an update. The surprise is 3 minutes away. Oh my God.
Josh: Well, there is a surprise happening in 3 minutes. Is everyone excited? I'm going to unmute everyone for a second. No. Yeah. Just cheers. Are you excited?
Tommy: That's the official sound of a gaggle of grunts.
Josh: I'm muting everyone, so you just have to unmute. I'm just unmuting You got— there we go.
Tommy: Can we chat to Hayden for a minute? He's got a lovely little hat on.
Josh: G'day everybody.
Tommy: Yep. And if anyone wants drugs, go to that guy.
Josh: Anything. I've got some white doves. White doves. You look like a wedding singer.
Tommy: I am, I am actually.
Josh: Could you perform something? Have you got your guitar? Could you do Wonderwall for me?
Tommy: No, I'd never play Wonderwall ever.
Josh: Don't request it. What about Shimmer? No, I don't even know what that is. She calls me from the cold. You've got it covered then, Josh.
Tommy: Can I just say, this G&T, real phlegmy.
Josh: Really?
Tommy: What do you mean? I think that's you. That's really— it's you, mate. Yeah, that's you.
Josh: It's slightly annoying. Have you had much cheese today?
Tommy: I haven't had any cheese.
Josh: Okay.
Tommy: Are you nervous because this is your first formal date and I'm about to unmute Grace for the first time during the show?
Josh: I'm going to take my glasses off. Who's chaperoning '97?
Tommy: Great. I'm just, I've just unmuted Grace and Mason. This is the first time you're meeting as you're, you're getting out of your parents' VL Commodores.
Gemma: I drove myself.
Josh: Yeah, definitely.
Tommy: Take it away, Mason. Oh, Grace, you look stunning.
Gemma: Oh, thank you. You look very dapper yourself.
Josh: Thank you.
Tommy: I love your, you sent me a photo of your, the cheese platter just before.
Josh: Yeah, I could have gone any higher. I know. You sent me a photo of your tits. I don't know if I was meant to mention on the show. I'm going to start filming myself eating.
Gemma: Yeah, the cheese platter is going well.
Josh: Oh, great.
Gemma: Yeah.
Tommy: The surprise is now 1 minute away.
Gemma: Exciting.
Tommy: We've got 1 minute to work Josh's questions list.
Gemma: Go on, Josh.
Josh: Any favorites? Like, obviously, when I speak to Sev, I don't want to make it about me. And so I don't sort of ask him how the questions are going.
Gemma: They're good. They're actually really good questions.
Josh: Any feedback on questions, like ones that you like, ones that you don't? I realised that I spelt 'isle' wrong, which I got trolled on Instagram, which sort of made me a bit sensitive. So, I haven't done one since. 'Isle' is spelt with an 'a'.
Tommy: I didn't realise that.
Gemma: No, that was quite good because then we talked about travelling and where we've travelled and things like that. So, that was quite— that was a good one. Other ones, I'm not sure.
Josh: And so, you were talking about— Seb, where were you talking about going on your first sort of travel?
Tommy: Where did Pete say again? Was it, uh, why, why, why? No, why a river?
Gemma: No, no, no, road trip.
Josh: Okay, that was a road trip, but weren't you going to go to the Bahamas, or was that not on the list?
Tommy: The Bahamas?
Josh: Really? Or was it the Caribbean?
Gemma: Mason's other girl.
Josh: Yeah, no, what's the honeymoon location?
Gemma: Oh, have we discussed that?
Tommy: What?
Gemma: The Caribbean.
Josh: I don't know what's on show.
Tommy: Caribbean, yeah.
Gemma: Oh yeah, because I went there a couple years ago.
Josh: Really? Yeah. Why don't you do something that Seb's had? I guess Seb's— like something you haven't done, Grace, and something Seb hasn't done would be nice. Yeah, I'm happy to go. Where have you been, Grace?
Gemma: Like South Africa. I'd love to do that and safari.
Josh: That'd be fun.
Gemma: Or like Eastern Europe. Haven't done much of Eastern Europe.
Josh: Jordan Michaelides thought you were from there, didn't he?
Gemma: Yeah, he did.
Josh: Slovenia is beautiful. Slovenia, they've got the lake.
Gemma: Yeah, a few of my friends went there.
Josh: It's sort of shit from a food perspective. They've got this, like, this vanilla slice-esque sort of this cream cake, which I had for breakfast every day. But their actual food was lacking.
Gemma: Average?
Josh: Yeah.
Gemma: Is that going to be an issue because Mason doesn't eat much? He's quite picky.
Josh: No, I think that will be— I feel like he'll change. I feel like he's developing. What's one thing that that you think, Grace, that people don't get from the show that you've learned about Seb through FaceTiming?
Gemma: Oh, this is a hard one. He's quite open on the show. I don't know, I just like that he's kind of open with his feelings and stuff like that. So that's quite good. Yeah.
Tommy: He's leaning in.
Gemma: He's leaning in.
Tommy: It's the year of leaning in. Sorry, Seb, how far are we away from that surprise? Well, apparently it's here. Apparently surprise is here.
Josh: The surprise is here. But really, have we fucked it?
Gemma: I reckon you got screwed up.
Josh: I mean, let's just chat to Shannon, see how Shannon's going. Shannon, how are you?
Gemma: I'm good, thanks, Josh. How are you?
Josh: Yeah, good, thank you. That's good.
Gemma: Good chat, guys.
Josh: Is anything— have you had a knock at the door or anything?
Gemma: Me personally? Yeah.
Tommy: She looks out her window.
Josh: Josh?
Tommy: Yeah, she's leaving.
Josh: There's someone at my front door.
Tommy: Oh, there is? Oh, here we go.
Josh: This is good. I just, I just, let's not, let's not mention it. Let's let Shannon talk about it. There's someone at Shannon's front door. Shannon, can you go get it? Oh, they've left now. What do you mean?
Tommy: I'll go.
Gemma: No, yeah, it's all right.
Tommy: They dropped it off.
Josh: Okay, here we go. Hannah dropped it off.
Tommy: Hannah, is that the person? That's the person, Hannah. Yeah, yeah, great.
Josh: And so I want Shannon to mention what's happened. Okay, great. Yeah, in the meantime, we'll sit here and just wait. How you guys going? You good? I need a way, I think.
Tommy: You need a way? Yeah, Josh has been going hard. He's broken the seal.
Josh: Can you tell or no?
Tommy: Yes, mate, we can, but you're fine because you're, you're not aggressive. You don't seem threatened.
Josh: You just seem to feel good. I actually think I feel good.
Tommy: As he clips his little glasses onto his glasses. All right, Shannon's— it sounds like she's venturing back in.
Gemma: Hang on a sec.
Josh: Oh, here we go.
Tommy: Oh, here we go.
Josh: This is good.
Gemma: I really thought the surprise was Hamish Blake.
Josh: Oh, really? He's not responding to my text. I'm glad you guys—
Gemma: context to this surprise.
Josh: Look, there is no context. We have this idea that we're like, wouldn't it be great every single week to send someone something? Domino's.
Gemma: I mean, I do love pizza and beer on a Friday night.
Josh: So the VIP Gronkshi give your address.
Gemma: Literally, it is literally what I have every Friday night.
Josh: Oh, this is great.
Gemma: You know, ice cream is a nice touch.
Josh: Oh, great.
Tommy: I thought it'd be nice to have that in there.
Gemma: Hang on.
Josh: So it's a Domino's special.
Tommy: Hang on, this is— let me open it up. Yeah, what kind of pizza?
Josh: Yeah, yeah, Seb's organised a pizza. It's a controversial pizza.
Tommy: Yeah, okay, hang on.
Gemma: This is really nothing in this box.
Tommy: So they did that, Shannon, they did that to us the other week.
Josh: Yeah, literally an empty box.
Tommy: What the fuck is that for? I hope that's not the, um, the garlic bread.
Josh: I'm having issues, guys. Is that normal? Is it normal not to be able to go—
Tommy: sorry, sorry guys, I'm going to mute the 12-year-old child who's got into the liquor cabinet. Sorry about him.
Gemma: Oh, what flavour is this? 97.
Tommy: Hang on, you need to, you need to guess. What is it? Taste, give it a taste. Are you, do you have any allergies, Shannon? Are you vegetarian?
Gemma: No.
Tommy: Okay, great.
Gemma: Is it seafood?
Josh: No, no, no, no, no, no.
Tommy: He's not a monster. No, he's not. A baby doesn't like seafood.
Gemma: What on earth? Okay, can I tell you what it looks like?
Tommy: Yes, you can show us too.
Gemma: It looks like— has anybody had this before? It looks like popcorn chicken on a pizza.
Josh: Sounds good.
Gemma: What the fuck? Anyway, here we go.
Josh: Domino's. So Seb's worked it out that it was 4 minutes from your joint.
Tommy: 4 minutes from your place. Oh, they were on time. From store to door was 5 minutes. From store to door. All right, Mr. Domino's.
Josh: What is it?
Tommy: Was that the live reader? Seb's, what is it?
Josh: Seb's, what is it?
Tommy: It's a chicken parmi pizza.
Gemma: Oh, that's what I mean. It looks like popcorn chicken on a pizza.
Tommy: What's the consensus?
Gemma: No, it tastes like shit.
Tommy: And we just lost our deal with Domino's, guys.
Gemma: I'm sorry.
Tommy: I like Domino's.
Gemma: It's the best thing I've ever tasted.
Tommy: You can't lose a deal if you don't have one. So we're absolutely fine.
Josh: Thanks, guys. We got you a sub. Sundae just in case. And then Seb's also a garlic bread, um, because you can't have a pizza without a garlic bread.
Gemma: Absolutely not.
Josh: And this is just the best.
Tommy: Yeah. And, um, there is a stripper on the way, so he's coming.
Gemma: Tyrone. I've got a tequila ready for the stripper.
Josh: No one understood the Tyrone joke when I said about Tyrone's cum.
Tommy: No, pick it. Yeah, but Josh, because it's an internal joke. You have no filter, dude. We have a personal joke that there's a big man named Tyrone that's cheating on, uh, or he's, he's sleeping with all of our partners. And Josh likes to bring out personal jokes that nobody gets and then likes to say it on the show. Why doesn't anyone understand this joke? It's because it's a personal joke. And you know, Tyrone's very triggering for me. Okay.
Josh: Let's just go around the room. Let's unmute people. Crystal, how are you going?
Gemma: Hi, I'm great, guys. I feel like I've come into a lot.
Josh: I'm sorry.
Gemma: Yeah.
Josh: Are you okay?
Tommy: There's a lot going on.
Gemma: Yeah, there's a lot going on.
Josh: How's your day been? You had a 4 PM appointment, a meeting, didn't you?
Gemma: Yeah, so I was just doing like the two laptops, Zoom on both, trying to, you know, get it all done. Regular working woman.
Josh: Any highlights from your week?
Gemma: Um, I've really been enjoying the self-iso life. I don't know if that's like a PC thing to say, but it's been really nice.
Tommy: Are you still working for the media company that you were?
Gemma: Yes, we're still on. It's a major news publisher, so news traffic is sky high right now because everyone's home just consuming, consuming content. So we're very busy.
Josh: Is there a push for video content or like what's the— what sort of articles media companies are pushing for?
Gemma: Do you want me to like feed some Daily Talk Show content?
Josh: Yeah, yeah, could you do some sort of— is Sev's relation— like, is the relationship between Grace and Sev's— is that media worthy, or what sort of status does Grace or Sev's need to get to before it gets covered?
Gemma: Yeah, look, without giving too much away, I do work for a media publisher that writes about people's relationships a lot. So I mean, a few more followers and they'd probably be, we'd probably be following it pretty closely.
Josh: Right.
Tommy: What's the number?
Josh: Let's try over 10,000.
Gemma: 10,000.
Tommy: 10,000.
Gemma: Okay.
Josh: It feels like a good round number.
Gemma: Or blue tick regardless of number. Yeah.
Josh: I mean, we can't do that, can we?
Tommy: Yeah. There's a bunch of cucks with blue ticks these days that don't have any of them, to be honest.
Josh: What's the— so the whole cuck thing, can we talk about that for a second?
Tommy: Absolutely not. You just absolutely— you've lost it. Seb's even— look at the filter of Seb's. Mate, you just say things.
Josh: Cucks is rever—
Tommy: mate, don't think too much about it. This is your problem.
Josh: Sorry, Crystal. I'm just muting you. Josh, who are you throwing it for a second?
Tommy: I'm going to throw it back to Queen Gronkh for the moment.
Gemma: Oh, just as I was taking a selfie. It happens.
Josh: No, we don't want to ruin an Insta Story up. So do that.
Gemma: No, it's okay. I'm going to do a whole thing. Tag me in a post, guys. I'll repost you.
Tommy: Hashtag formal.
Josh: Can I just unmute Lara for a second? Lara was trolling McDonald's. I looked at her LinkedIn. Lara, do you work at a coffee shop?
Gemma: Yeah, I do.
Josh: Okay. I just feel like—
Gemma: That's why Macca sucks. I know what I'm talking about.
Josh: I feel like you should have put that as a disclaimer.
Gemma: Lara, that's not why Macca sucks. Macca's just— does generally. Yeah, I mean, it's true, but I think I knew that before. But I think once you got into coffee, then you realise what good coffee is, and then you realised Macca's is even worse than what you thought it was.
Josh: And so, Lara, what coffee are you roasting when you, um, when you make a, when you make a sort of a latte?
Gemma: Um, I actually, I work for a really small coffee kiosk, um, in Hawthorn, so I don't actually know. She keeps the packets black. So, the whole, I don't know who gives it to me. I just get a bag when I ask for it. It's really suspicious, but it's the trick.
Josh: And so, you're trolling McDonald's and you're taking coffee from a black bag.
Gemma: But it's delicious. It's like, what, the secret, it's like a secret ingredient or something, secret recipe. I don't know, but it's great. Works well.
Josh: Does well. And so, what's your, would you count yourself as a barista?
Gemma: Yeah, so, the kiosk, all I do is make coffee and it's just me. And it's at a train station, so you're really busy in the mornings.
Josh: Oh. And so, has the train station been quiet?
Gemma: Oh, I'm gonna come and harass you. What'd you say, Joe?
Josh: Has the train station been quiet since everything has happened?
Gemma: Well, yeah, because I work for, like, you know, it's just one lady that owns it. I've stopped working because she doesn't make enough money to pay me, so I'm at home. Yeah, but she's still running. She owns a few. And she's still running one by herself, but any of them that all the other girls are at, she's just not making enough money for us.
Josh: So we're all at home. I know this is a bit inside baseball, but is the—
Tommy: Is Josh's internet bad or is that his slurring? No, that's his slurring. Oh my God, it actually sounds like his Wi-Fi is dropping out. He's the guy with the fastest internet.
Josh: It's 1.5 is where my limit's at. So I'm muting myself for a bit.
Tommy: Yeah. Hey, can I just get everybody to put their hand up in the air so you can see it on screen? Can we just get everybody put their hand up? I need participation here, guys. Can I just get everybody who is in a relationship to pull their hand down? So no hands up if you're in a relationship. Okay, great. If you just want to look around the room, these are your options. These are your options. For the night.
Gemma: Classic wedding.
Tommy: It seems that Grace has her hand halfway up.
Josh: Depends what state she's talking about.
Tommy: Jesus Christ.
Gemma: Harry in the chat, Hayden, hit me up.
Tommy: So yeah, jump into the Zoom room comments and take it away, guys. Over to you. Hey, just in terms of formal, like we are— a lot of us are quite far from ever being invited to a formal. I just want to unmute Olivia Brown. Olivia Brown, welcome to the Daily Talk Show.
Gemma: I like that pose.
Tommy: You are our Year 12—
Josh: Our youngest.
Tommy: Youngest person listening that we know of. Olivia, how are you?
Gemma: I'm alright. I survived school in the last few days, so yeah, that's good.
Tommy: So you work at your— you're doing homeschooling. Have you actually got teachers on Zoom?
Gemma: Yeah, so all— we're not like technically on Zoom, we're on Teams, so we're on Microsoft Teams. Where's Russ? I have 13 teams running for all my subjects and all the activities I'm involved in at school, like student leadership and all that.
Josh: What's your favourite subject, Olivia?
Gemma: Um, in Year 12, I like all my subjects pretty much equally. Yeah.
Josh: Did you do any Year 12 subjects in Year 11?
Gemma: No, I'm not that smart.
Tommy: No, he's not missing.
Josh: She doesn't have to be smart to do what I'm doing that because I just reduce my load one step at a time.
Tommy: To be honest, just hanging in there is better, better than me.
Josh: And, uh, Robbie, is that true? Theatre music?
Gemma: Yeah, definitely. I've done 5 of, um, well, it would be 5 this year if this year continues at this point. That's set for mid-August. Um, but yeah, I've done 4 of the school musicals at this point in time. I didn't do the one in Year 7 because I was an introvert and followed the crowd, which I regret, but it's okay.
Tommy: What's happened? Are you now an extrovert?
Gemma: I've more just like become comfortable with myself and just don't care what people say.
Tommy: That's good. Lean in. That's Mr. 97 in the morning.
Josh: Definitely lean in. What's been your latest production, Olivia?
Gemma: This year we're doing Grease, and for the first time we have a live band, which we have about 6 students part of. And we're doing 2 acts for the first time as well. That's amazing. You're speaking my language.
Tommy: Do you have a Year 11— sorry, Year 12 formal? That was meant to be going ahead, but you're not anymore?
Gemma: Yeah, so that was scheduled for May 29th. I don't think that's going to happen. So yeah, I've just dressed up in what I'd wear to that anyway.
Tommy: Well, let's give Olivia a clap. Might not get to do her formal. This could be the only formal that you attend this year, and I'm sorry about that.
Josh: So I played Vince Fontaine in Grease.
Gemma: Who's playing Rizzo? Is she a bitch?
Josh: Yeah, who?
Gemma: She's not.
Josh: She's the loveliest person.
Gemma: Awesome. It's the best role. Yeah, but this year I, the last 4 productions I've done cast and I've done various roles through the first one we did was Suzaku, we've done Shrek, we've done Alice in Wonderland, we've done Wizard of Oz, we've done them all. This year I decided to take a step back, especially because I'm doing Year 12 as well. I'm now part of the tech crew, so I think I'm like the only girl in tech crew, so there will be 9 guys and I'll just learn a different skill skill and how to have fun.
Josh: Doing a little lighting or sound or what are you doing?
Gemma: I'll probably be on microphones, so putting mics on cast because I'm the only girl, so yeah, because of appropriateness that— Yeah, it has to go down the bra.
Josh: There's a great, um, there's a— the guy who has done Mythbusters has done a whole series on Adam Savage. Yeah, how they mic up the cast of Hamilton. Which is great.
Gemma: Great.
Tommy: Yeah, that sounds fucking unbelievable. I can't wait to watch that, to be honest. Put your hands up if you want to watch that. No, a couple. I was just thinking though, imagine The Daily Talk Show: The Musical. Look at all you characters here right now. Absolute characters. Like Hayden Dibb, you are definitely right in there. We need our Portuguese PayPal, where is he? PayPal, can you— how are you, buddy?
Josh: I'm good. How are you guys?
Tommy: Hi, buddy.
Gemma: PayPal and Harry are matching. I think that's important to point out.
Josh: Yeah, you are.
Gemma: I'm very observant.
Josh: So, yeah, TJ, you were saying something?
Tommy: I just wanted PayPal to say something in Portuguese because I think it's— You know, we're all Aussie. A lot of us are Aussies here or in America, at least speaking English. Can you just bring a bit of sex to the show?
Josh: Say this.
Tommy: Say the sexiest statement that you can in Portuguese, please.
Josh: Give me a sentence and I translate it.
Tommy: Okay, Josh, throw him a sentence.
Josh: So in Dutch, "Nerken in de kerken" is a big one, which is "fucking in the church." 'Kitchen,' how do you say that in Portuguese? Oh my God. It's literally the only sentence I know. Or the other one, so, because I think like Brazil being sort of— do you count Brazil as South America or no? We're getting into a discussion here. Yeah.
Gemma: Okay.
Josh: And so, I feel like in Australia we're pretty dumb and so we think that South South America, we assume Spanish. How much, like what other parts of South America aren't Spanish? Well, the rest of it, just Brazil speaks Portuguese. And so what other countries are speaking Portuguese in South America? Brazil. That's the main one. And so how would you say, so one thing you were saying you can speak Spanish as well, was that right? In the chat? I understand Spanish. It's very similar, very similar. People get like, people always tell me like, oh, you speak Spanish, right?
Gemma: I go like, but I understand.
Tommy: So I've got this, I've got the sentence because it can lead into sort of the next movement of the show, which is throwing to Gemma, who is going to announce the best dressed of the night. And so I won't understand it. Gemma's not even here, by the way. Feel free. Yeah, she's actually just gone. It's all about her timing, right? She's just doing selfies. Me, me, me, need to go to the toilet, me, me, me. Absolutely, I'm upset. Anyway, can you maybe say, just pad it a bit? Tell us actually, tell us how you came across the Daily Talk Show in Portuguese. It's beautiful because I won't understand it and I'll really want to know.
Josh: Eu comecei assistindo o Matt D'Avella. D'Avella. Right, we got that. I got it, I got it. I speak fluent. Do you guys have Nando's? Like, Nando's is Portuguese, which is from South Africa. Do you know about Nando's? No. So, Nando's is a restaurant. Where do their chilies come from? So, there's 1,400 farmers in South Africa, but it's sort of Portuguese-inspired. Peri-peri. Does peri-peri mean anything to you?
Gemma: No.
Josh: Okay. All right. So, we're being fucked over by Nando's. Temperature in the room? TJ, how are you feeling?
Tommy: Yeah, I'm a mild right now. You're extra hot, mate.
Josh: Yeah, you're having a meltdown. Rayman, what do you get at Nando's? What's sort of your standard basing? Hot. Not too bad, but medium. Emma? Emma, what do you get at Nando's normally? What's your Nando's order?
Gemma: Oh, the medium one.
Josh: Okay, mild.
Gemma: Medium, not mild.
Josh: I think it's called mild.
Tommy: It's called mild.
Gemma: The next one up. Hot.
Josh: Yeah, so they've really fucked it, but they have an off-the-menu temperature and then they have a menu temperature. And so from a menu temperature point of view—
Tommy: Wow, Scooter. All right, all right. Sorry, now Gemma's back finally. I'll unmute Gemma. So what's going to happen now is What did I miss? PayPal is about to throw to you and then you're going to announce the awards for this evening. So PayPal, feel free to just—
Josh: In Portuguese. PayPal is going to do it in Portuguese. As the Daily Talk Show— You're going to— Josh.
Gemma: Hang on. They're just— What are the awards? I have been given absolutely no brief.
Tommy: Oh, that's actually your job.
Josh: That was your job. About.
Tommy: I don't expect us to work that shit out.
Josh: Nightmare.
Gemma: What do you think we should do?
Tommy: That's definitely your sort of theme. You took yourself off the award. So I think it's up to you. We'll just let you sort of—
Gemma: Best dressed, sure.
Tommy: Yeah, best dressed, worst dressed. We're not doing worst dressed. Most likely to be in prison in 10 years.
Gemma: That kind of stuff. That's not a formal awards category. Formal awards, you have best dressed and you have— in fact, that's it for formal.
Tommy: All right.
Gemma: Well, I'll take that. I think there should be a male best dressed and female best dressed.
Tommy: Yes. Yeah.
Gemma: Yeah.
Tommy: Awesome. Awesome. And then the power couple.
Gemma: Okay. Wonderful. Then in that case, I've picked all of them. But I think it's important that I know what order we're doing these awards in because interestingly, I don't actually speak Portuguese.
Tommy: No, but that's okay. He's going to throw to you. You'll interpret it as you do. And then—
Gemma: Oh, that's a terrible idea. Here we go. Okay.
Tommy: PayPal, just kind of throw to Gemma, sound real sexy. You can talk slow, you can whisper, whatever you like. Just throw. Can we do an ASMR? Basically, all you need to say is, we're now about to announce— Portuguese ASMR. The king and queen of—
Josh: Oh, Josh.
Gemma: Okay, so we're doing king and queen.
Tommy: Did you piss?
Josh: Is that where you went? Yeah, I did. Okay, great. It felt quick.
Tommy: That was real quick.
Gemma: Everyone's going to be super shocked by who I choose for king and queen.
Tommy: Okay, no, but king and queen and best dressed male and female. All right, so take it away, PayPal.
Josh: Okay, agora nós vamos ver quem será o rei e a rainha e também o melhor vestido. What did you just say, PayPal? PayPal, I want to know what you said. You laughed. What was the exact translation, please? Oh no, that I was going to— Gemma's going to be announcing the king and queen and the best dress. Okay, perfect. Oh great.
Gemma: Okay, wonderful. Um, there's no way we can get a drum roll sound effect, is there?
Josh: Josh, you can get clapping.
Tommy: Okay, give us a clap. Oh, I guess that's for after.
Gemma: That's for after.
Tommy: All right, we've got that ready. Is that good?
Gemma: Absolute nightmare.
Tommy: Right, yeah, let's run with that.
Josh: That's all right. Look, I only have limited voices. I'm sorry. Oh, that's— it's either this one, it could be this.
Tommy: Yeah, that's great. No, do that.
Josh: Okay, great. Yeah, great, Gem.
Gemma: Okay, I'm so thrilled to announce that the King and Queen of the Daily Talk Show 2020 Formal Sound effect. It was in grace.
Josh: Oh, this is huge. I'm unmuting Grace.
Gemma: I know, it's a shock. Everyone's gonna be so shocked. Oh my god.
Josh: Yeah.
Gemma: I never expected that. Would you like to say a few words?
Josh: Yes. God, you sound—
Tommy: Wow, that's a lovely award to receive, Gemma.
Josh: Yeah, I don't know.
Gemma: What a great space.
Josh: No, you've got this. Go. Um, on behalf—
Tommy: would you like to thank— oh yeah, okay, okay, okay, great.
Josh: Yeah, on behalf of Grace and I, uh, I just also say, how does Grace look? I thought I was gonna lead into that.
Tommy: Just let him go, Josh. On behalf of Grace and I, who looks absolutely stunning. Gemma, we'd like to thank you for that award and for everyone joining us tonight. It's been amazing.
Gemma: Cheers to that. I'll drink to that.
Josh: Cheers.
Gemma: Okay, I will continue. I mean, I know the show's not about me, but I guess it can be. Segments. It can be. I'm going to announce— I'm going to leave Best Dressed Female to last because I feel like that is the hotly contested award this evening. So I'm going to announce the Best Dressed Male. The Best Dressed Male of the Daily Talk Show Formal 2020 edition is Hayden Deeb.
Tommy: Unmute him. You were slow on that, Josh.
Josh: Sorry. I was putting on my stance. Thank you very much.
Tommy: I'd like to thank all of the Middle East.
Josh: I'm here to represent them all. We don't usually dress like this. We've usually got certain things strapped to our chest, but— Oh my God. Mute him, mute him. Mute him.
Tommy: No, don't.
Josh: No, everything was like within like an arm's reach of me. I got dressed 2 minutes before I jumped on. So thank you very much, Gemma.
Tommy: You've done well.
Gemma: And that Rambo was a very close second.
Josh: Rambo? What about Nick Callum? Nick Callum looks absolutely stunning. Where's Nick?
Tommy: I would have given it to him, to be honest.
Josh: You look great.
Gemma: Oh, thank you. I appreciate that, George. Well, you're not the judge.
Josh: This is always the last time you wore that outfit? Uh, about a month ago. This is a new one, uh, for a work event, so Can I just say, with the headphones as well, like, it looks great.
Gemma: Yeah, you look like—
Josh: it looks so dull in the best sort of way. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Gemma: Everyone looks great. That's the whole point of the formal. It's the best any of us are ever going to look.
Josh: Can we just find out, Shannon, how's the chicken parmi going? Hang on, just— we need— you need to—
Gemma: can you hear me?
Josh: Yeah, we can.
Gemma: How's it going?
Josh: Oh yeah, it was delicious.
Gemma: Thank you.
Josh: And so the fun fact about the sundae— here we go— they use, they use actual ice cream.
Gemma: As opposed to?
Tommy: Yeah, as opposed to what?
Josh: So they don't use sort of soft serve. It's 100%.
Gemma: Oh, like out of a tub, do you mean? Yeah.
Josh: No, I just remember Don— the guy behind Domino's. I know specifically we did— we get the thick shake, Sevs. Did we ever get the thick shake on?
Tommy: No, we never did. So nah, I think you just got that personally.
Josh: Yeah, so the Domino's thick shake— a fun fact about the thick shake, I'm just trying to work out how to spell— here we go. Shake. Wow, it's amazing, isn't it? I'm definitely— no one's happy about this.
Tommy: All right, Gemma, you are the MC, you can take over. I can mute him if you want. I just muted Josh. Take it away, Jim.
Gemma: This is the big one. This is the one that we're going to be talking about for the rest of the year. I personally think it's the biggest award anyone can win ever. Pulitzer Prize, who needs it? I'd take the Daily Talk Show Best Dressed Female any day of the week. But it's not about me. It's about the Best Dressed Female of the Daily Talk Show 2024 more. And that award goes to Emma Lang.
Josh: Emma! Emma! Beautiful. The one strap number is beautiful. You talked about the spandex.
Gemma: I know, I've got the Spanx on, so I'm glad they're not going to waste. The fake tan and the Spanx is going well. There was a lot working for you, the fake tan. Big on the earrings. I think that was potentially a strategic move based on this being a Zoom call. I know. Color is popping. I was just worried that I looked half naked, but it's all right. I'm like, I do the same thing. I might maybe look forward.
Josh: Who's the person who looks the most naked if it were to look right now?
Gemma: Um, Bronte.
Josh: Bronte. I mean, uh, how's Ramble? You are Ramble's sister.
Gemma: What's wild is that Bronte looks naked but with earrings. Yeah, that, that wasn't supposed to happen.
Josh: But that's okay. It's a new thing.
Gemma: Is it a slip dress? Because in that case, I would go mad for it. Cowl neck, spaghetti straps. Bit close to my skin colour too. Maybe that's what. No, I think that's cool.
Josh: We can't actually see the dress. I think that's part of it.
Gemma: I know exactly what it looks like. It's a slip dress. It's cut on the bias and it would be probably a midi length.
Josh: What does it cut on the bias mean?
Gemma: I'm not going to go into it. I tried to explain to Chris what a hem was yesterday.
Josh: Cut. A cut on the bias. I'm Googling it.
Gemma: For a dress to be cut on the bias, it's the way that the fabric has been cut.
Josh: Bias cut basically means cutting the fabric on a 45-degree angle.
Gemma: Yeah, so it changes the way that the fabric sits. So it's common with like silks and satins and blends.
Josh: I knew that, Josh, you fuckwit. Sorry, I'm sorry, Harry. How are you, Harry, anyway?
Gemma: Me? Yeah.
Josh: Oh yeah, Ella got a new puppy today, so she's running inside with the puppy.
Gemma: Oh really?
Josh: What sort of puppy? Have we got a— can you bring the puppy in? No, no, no dogs inside the house. Strictly no dogs inside the house, Josh. I don't like dogs inside.
Gemma: Sorry.
Josh: But Hayden and I are going to go and get a lote, and I've organised for the puppy to carry the rings down the aisle. What sort of ring? What are we talking? Um, what sort of ring? I haven't thought too much about that. Diamonds are pretty unethical, aren't they?
Tommy: All right, I'm just reading the chat.
Josh: Sorry, I'm just reading the chat. Sorry about the Portuguese, you guys. Haha, good.
Tommy: Ramble said cock ring.
Gemma: Harry asked me to the formal, so I feel like I've gone to formal with someone and then they've hooked up with someone else in front of me.
Josh: Well, to be honest, I asked Shannon as well and Lara because I didn't want to be let down, and then I deleted the messages.
Tommy: And so did Lara.
Josh: Lara sent me a screenshot.
Gemma: You sent me a screenshot of those messages.
Josh: Oh no, hang on.
Gemma: I didn't get a message.
Josh: Shannon's not aware of this either.
Gemma: You retracted the message?
Josh: Oh my God.
Gemma: Why?
Tommy: That's outrageous. Is that a bad mood?
Gemma: Yeah, what? Oh my God. I didn't get asked to go to formal with you, Harry. Oh my God, I think that's worse, getting retracted a message than getting answered at all.
Josh: Absolutely. Miss Domino's.
Gemma: Okay, who did you choose over me? Who did you choose? Who did you ask next? Yeah, who did you end up with?
Tommy: It's your own fault. It was whoever got back to me first.
Gemma: You didn't even get the notification, you deleted it.
Josh: I sent a MailChimp out to all the females.
Gemma: I'm hurt. I'm hurt.
Tommy: Mate, how did you get access to all this?
Gemma: I am going to—
Tommy: you sent them all out last week, Mason.
Josh: Oh yeah, you sent all the emails out last week, Harry.
Tommy: I appreciate—
Gemma: spread the filthiest rumour about you in the Year 12 common room. It's come from me and everyone's going to believe me because I'm the head of the formal committee. It's not about that, Harry.
Tommy: This is great.
Josh: Just a daily talk show, everyone.
Tommy: Thanks, guys.
Josh: Party buses in We're gonna keep on kicking on until 9 o'clock. It's currently, oh my God, it's not even 5 o'clock. It's 4:57. I thought it was 9.
Gemma: When I went and filled up my drink before, my mother said to me, how's your date Harry going? And I said, oh, it's going really well, Mum. Thanks for asking. He's really sweet and he's wearing a burgundy tie that sort of matches my dress.
Tommy: I love you, Louie.
Gemma: I just have to go outside and to say to my mom, oh, he hooked up with someone in front of me.
Josh: Shit.
Tommy: God. Well, I asked Bruce for permission. I thought I'll do the right thing.
Gemma: No, you didn't. No, you didn't. Because he was sitting there and he said, who is this?
Josh: Sorry.
Tommy: All right. I've muted both of those fuckwits. So we're all good to kick on. Thanks for all of you coming. I appreciate it. There's Glenn just joined us for kick-ons, by the way.
Josh: Oh, Glenn. Thank you, mate.
Tommy: Thanks everyone.
Gemma: Before we go, can we get a shot of everyone like holding up their drinks?
Tommy: Oh yeah, absolutely.
Josh: Do you want me to hold the bottle? Absolutely.
Gemma: Hold the bottle.
Tommy: I've got a Ruskie now, TJ.
Josh: You did? Ruskie? Is that bourbon or what is that? It's like lemon, tastes like lemonade. Tastes like lemonade? Wowee.
Gemma: Thanks guys.
Josh: Can you believe it's only Friday?
Tommy: Can you believe it's not butter?
Josh: No.
Tommy: Kick-ons are happening. Thanks for everyone who has listened, watched, commented, got amongst it. You can be a part of these drinks by signing up to be a VIP Gronk. thedailytalkshow.com/gronks. Awesome.
Josh: All right, thanks, TJ. It's, it's been great. It's the TDTS formal. If you have a video or photo of you dressing up in TDS formal gear, please hashtag TDS formal.
Gemma: Tag us.
Josh: Otherwise, yeah, definitely tag @TheDailyTalkShow. Also, if you're a VIP Gronk, you should have gotten the stickers as well, which is fun.
Tommy: Otherwise, Ramble's got them on his neck.
Josh: Perfect.
Tommy: Great bow tie. Great bow tie, Ramble. Love you, mate.
