Josh: The Daily Talk Show. It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 690.

Tommy: What's happening, guys? What's going on? Happy Blame Monday.

Josh: Oh yeah, what do we want to blame today?

Tommy: Oh, look, blame anyone, anyone in the, anyone in the comments, they feel like blaming something on somebody else, let us know.

Josh: Uh, so we are, um, we are late. It's currently 4:17. We normally start the show at 4. You'll notice that—

George: I don't know what the holdup was.

Josh: What was that, George?

George: Oh no, I don't know what the holdup was.

Josh: Well, the holdup was, I mean, you were doing your other work, you had some other work that you needed to get done, and so we have made some upgrades on the show. You'll notice that we had a couple of tech issues previously with sync, and so we've made some upgrades for Sev's, for TJ, and I provided— I did a handover of of equipment with George. And so George should be running a beautifully crisp shot and everything should be fine, but he fucked it.

Tommy: Yeah. And Linden's picked up on 97's got a rocking new angle, new camera angle, which is nice.

Josh: It's beautiful, isn't it?

Mason: Yeah. You can even see the purple LED.

Josh: Yeah, you've got a little bit of a little accentuated light. Isn't that such a nicer shot? I feel like it suits your skin tone so much, so much better.

Mason: Well, I'm glad you like it. That's good.

Tommy: You don't like it? His rosy little cheeks.

Mason: No, no, I'm happy with it.

Josh: Okay, it's great.

Tommy: I like his rosy little cheeks.

Josh: How are you feeling, George, out of 100 though? You're normally quite high. How are you feeling?

George: It's been a stressful 20 minutes. Um, I'm at about a 40, I reckon. Tomorrow, tomorrow's the day. Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll be looking good.

Josh: Okay, all right, good.

Mason: Um, you're always good, don't worry about it.

George: Thanks.

Tommy: Oh mate, I mean, I'm just having tech troubles of my own for this website that I wanted to read something to, but it's not happening. So you know what, fuck off Monday. It's, uh, it's no good. The internet's done. It's all done. No, I'm done.

Josh: I was going— I was absolutely going well. I mean, um, TJ, who do you— do you provide tech support to anyone in your family?

Tommy: Uh, yeah, I mean, the thing is I just get to take a back seat when you guys are around, which makes you guys think I'm absolutely useless with tech, but I have— I actually know quite a bit. I reckon, I reckon if the average person is at a 4, I'm at a 7.9, and you, you do the cool stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you guys are at 10.3. Okay. Um, and so yeah, I, I mean, for my mum, definitely.

Josh: Do you blow up or are you pretty like, do you stay pretty calm?

Tommy: Oh, it's very hard. It's very hard. It's very hard because I, I just say to my mum now, go away and write down your problem because a lot of it isn't actually a problem. It's just that you haven't worked out what you were wanting to ask me. And so then the, the blowup happens because it's lack of communication around. She just feels a certain way about something.

Josh: What was the last technical problem that you fixed?

Tommy: Oh God, I can't remember. She's asking me about YouTube stuff. I've been doing some YouTube things for her. She's got a meditation series that she sends out to all, you know, her Gronk Squad, which are, you know, women over the age of 50. And And yeah, so I've been, I've been helping her with that. But you know, what, thinking, what's a subscriber? What do I do now? I've got subscribers, what do I do now? Yeah, that's not really a—

Josh: no, but it's good. I mean, it's amazing what she's doing. Like, the thing is that I understand the, um, everyone's just doing their best. Like George, before the show, you were just doing your best.

George: I did call you at about 3 saying let's just do it tomorrow because, you know, I might not, I don't think I've got time. Yeah. And then about 5 to 4, you're like, we can do this.

Josh: Well, I just felt like, you know what, like we can. I know. I just feel like I like to push things a little bit further.

George: Now I'm disappointed.

Josh: You know, try and get it done. I am too.

Tommy: Well, I have.

Josh: Because it always ends up the same way, which is like, look, I'll just have to, I'll have to do it.

Mason: We have sad George.

Josh: Yeah.

George: Yeah.

Mason: Sad. Slightly annoying.

Josh: Which I can't tell the difference between sad George and happy George. That's true.

George: That's true. He's always getting slammed when I join the call anyway.

Josh: So, well, it's because you always don't have your headphones on, so we can hear ourselves. Sebs, have you fixed your internet at home for your family?

Mason: Yeah, I think so. So, yeah, I mean, we've got two like wireless access points and they're working and people are getting Wi-Fi, but I'm getting a notification probably every half an hour saying that they've gone rogue.

Josh: Um, could you just turn off the notifications?

Mason: That's exactly what I've done. Yeah, so they're working, they appear to be working fine, but yeah, I thought it's like a—

Josh: there was a, there was a, a guy who, um, wrote for like a car, um, like article. Like, I remember, uh, what's it called when you do like, um in the newspaper, he had like a column, and someone was saying that they had an issue where, um, there, uh, there was some rubber stuff with their windows that wasn't properly sealed, so it was making a noise. And the suggestion of the guy was just to play music so you couldn't hear it, which doesn't— which sort of seems like the same solution.

Mason: I mean, Russ Casey's had a shit start.

Josh: Why has Russ had a shit start?

Mason: Russ has had a shit start today. His front tyre's been slashed.

Tommy: What is he, slashed?

Josh: Yeah, I mean, I don't know what—

Tommy: who, who, uh, I mean, that's— slashed is pretty aggressive. Like, I've had someone— I came out the front of my house, um, this is when I lived out the back of my personal training studio, and I walked over to my car. I'm like, I got into it, I was like, what the fuck is all this white powder? And then I was like, oh no, my screen my front windscreen smashed. And then I jump out and my whole car has been fingerprint dusted, and someone had been seen jumping on my windscreen. And it was nothing to do with me because he jumped on 3 other people's cars within the, you know, 100-meter radius. Some drunk guy just been walking past jumping on people's windscreens. It's so, it's so frustrating. They'd already been— they didn't notify me. I came out and my next door neighbour was out as well. And I was like, oh God, that's annoying.

Mason: You think they'll identify you, surely.

Tommy: Well, they wouldn't know, but they could.

Mason: If they're dusting your car.

Tommy: Do the police have your phone number? If they found your license, do Mason, your L-plates, if they found your L-plates for your 20-year-old self, would they be able to look it up and find your mobile number? Sure, what's the access?

Mason: Well, they could— well, no, so what they would do, you could definitely from your rego, you could definitely get your, your house address, which is enough to go knock on the door, especially if it's right there.

Tommy: Yeah, but it's a fair bit of work just for a smashed windscreen. Yeah, like it's— that's a lot of work. I'm just trying to work out what, what would the police actually have when they type in Josh Jansen, what comes up?

Josh: Well, when I called them about the storage cage being broken into, they wanted to know if I'd called the police or filed an incident before. And I said no.

Tommy: You said trick question.

Josh: No, well, the thing is, because I hadn't, I didn't think I had, because everything I call triple zero, but it's not actually, you know, filing a report.. But then we went through, they said, oh, you have, can you just give me the address? And so, it took me like 2 minutes to figure out, 'cause I've been to like lived at so many places. And it was when I was 18, my car was broken into. I'd completely forgotten about it.

Tommy: I mean, this is, it's a matter of privacy, like the how much information the cops have. I don't know, I've never spoken to a cop to ask them what they could look up. And what they could find out about us. But what about, um, the, the coronavirus tracking app that's going to be rolled out? How do we feel about this?

Josh: What's the deal?

Tommy: Okay, Sebs, do you know much about this? Tech guy, tech guy Sebs.

Mason: Yeah, also what, what the plan is, I think. So Google and Apple have teamed up, and what they're doing is they're across all like Android and iOS phones they're going to use Bluetooth when you're near another person's phone and it'll send like a little key to them so you can trace who you've been next to or near. And so, then like different countries like Australia is building their own app on top of that that hooks into it. And so, it's so if you get the virus, then you can, you know, you can, what is it called? Contact trace. Back to who you've been in contact with.

Tommy: And so, yeah, so if you go in and if you install it now, you don't have it, you get the coronavirus in 3 months, and then they, you know, from the time maybe 2 weeks before you've shown symptoms, they can then track who's had it, contact them, tell them to isolate, you know, so on and so forth. They want to get— Scotty said he wants 40% of Australians to have this on their phone. Uh, Singapore only got 20%. Of people doing it.

Josh: So it was quite effective for Singapore, wasn't it?

Tommy: Well, Singapore had some great success early days, but then it sort of, um, it— something happened. They, uh, I think they've got a little bit relaxed, and then it came back. And yeah, they've sort of locked it down a bit harder now, but it's much—

Mason: I think there's also—

Tommy: Singapore is very tiny compared to— as in the—

Mason: I think there's also something where ScoMo said that they're going to make it compulsory potentially.

Tommy: I mean, because he has to have that 40%, otherwise it's ineffective. He's hope— like, this article is reading hoping. I mean, this is it. I heard yesterday from somebody saying that it— they're going to make it— they're going to— until they are requiring 40%, like, I wouldn't download it.

Josh: Like, does anyone actually amongst us have an issue with downloading it?

Tommy: I mean, um, to be honest, I heard that Barnaby's not doing it. Barnaby Joyce.

George: Barnaby's like, no, not doing it, I don't trust the government. Like, you are the government.

Josh: Yeah, I mean, so TJ, would you do it?

Tommy: Yeah, I think I would. I think it would, because I'm also the guy that pushes back on people who are like, you know, nah, I want my privacy. It's like, mate, what do you got to hide? But I don't know how well that argument stands up if you start really looking at how the government have handled things previously.

Josh: Well, if it can help people, it seems ridiculous not to do it. It seems like this same type of behaviour is being like, nah, I want to be able to— I want freedom, I want to go and walk around.

Tommy: Yeah, like if it meant that we could get it, because They were saying that it's, mate, I'm sad, George. We won't be able to have beer at the pub until after winter, at least, at least. We got in a few before. That was nice. Yeah, dude, they're gonna like, they're saying pubs and restaurants are pretty far down the line as far as what's opened up first.

Josh: Doesn't it feel a bit different though now? Like I almost feel completely detached from everything that's happening.

Tommy: Well, why is that?

Josh: I don't know. It wasn't until I watched that Global Citizen thing or whatever, and I was like, oh shit, like it's still happening. I think it's because I'm not consuming the news. And the other thing too is I think I've just become immune to— oh yeah, like what, Sam?

Mason: It's just I'm immune to it.

Tommy: I'm not immune to what, Josh?

Josh: No, just to the, the numbers and stuff. Like it seems Don't you think it seems so foreign?

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, the chance of getting it at this point—

Josh: Like the actual coronavirus, like actually for us. Yeah. Like, do you have any— So, other than your neighbour George, do you know anyone that's had coronavirus?

George: Nah, nah, I don't think so. I don't think I know anyone. Like, I think— I feel like Australia has done pretty well at a flat curve. Update.

Josh: Update. Okay.

George: Yeah.

Tommy: My auntie's friend has died from it. It's quite sad. Oh, my dad, my dad knew her, did some work at her house, some gardening stuff. And yeah, she passed away recently. Older woman, not to take away from it, but it's, it's still, it's, yeah, it's full on. I hit like, and then at that moment I was like, oh, fuck it, now it's getting to the point where, yeah, last week a guy who, you know, got it, I I know him well enough to give him a call, or, you know, friend of a friend, or, you know, next door neighbor. It's now that at that point it's like— and our cases are low. Think about, think about the States.

Josh: If anyone that you and I know together dies, can you not tell me the news by saying update? Because it's sort of the way people do it.

Tommy: Yeah, I won't update because I hadn't told you that yesterday. I found that out yesterday. But it's, um, I mean, what do you think? What about working again? Like, what about— nah, this is the hard bit, is what does it look like to go— there's no going back to before, but there's a version of restarting, a version of sort of— that's why I think it— I think it's probably harder for people like you, Josh, who quite enjoys the isolation, enjoy— like, you, you're getting your sort of recharge from this show and then being at home. And so then just imagine like launching back into doing lots of—

Josh: like, what does it look like? Like, I reckon I haven't been busier in a lot of ways. Like, so what is— yeah, so we've just changed what the work is.

Tommy: Yeah. And so, yeah, and so that then— that you're— then what you're saying is that it's not going to be the same and you're not going to do what it was before.

Josh: Well, I think that's the thing. Yeah, I think that like it's a, um, it's a, it's up for negotiation now what work is. And if you can create a new way of doing work, yeah, I think that there's, um, yeah, I think there's a bunch of things. Like, I don't think we, I don't think it's going to be we go back and everything is the same as it used to be. I think that these things were always going to, I think we were going to evolve into allowing working from home and all of that sort of stuff anyway.

Tommy: Yeah, I mean, people have been saying that for quite some time, and this is that real, you know, catapult into that, which it makes a lot of sense though. But then, then it's like, I think, don't you think that the majority of businesses are going to approach it like it is a re— like they are going back? Because if you're a big business that has a lease and has, you know, 50 people on site that's usually there, all the agencies all that agency-style businesses, marketing agencies, sales forces, people that are out on the road speaking to people, like, that shit is going to restart at some point as soon as legally they can.

Josh: And so, and there'll be— there is a lot of people, there'll be in-person filming that, that's obviously like the short doco style stuff is obviously something we'll still do, but I don't know if it's necessarily Yeah, what is it if you were to pick what the things are going to change, what does that look like?

Tommy: Oh, I mean, for me, it's— I just feel— think about what it will feel like being around a lot of other people. You know, we haven't considered washing— I haven't considered the, like, the, uh, you know, at depth washing your hands like you do now. I think about all the germs we would have been encountering previously with our hygiene, even if you have got it quite dialled in, it's still— now it's like the thought of that, the thought of being close to people, the thought of being in a sweaty nightclub, all these things. But maybe, I mean, we're in a, we're in a bubble too because there is probably people that don't give a shit, they're just ready, ready to launch. I don't know, I get into that. But I also, I also think that I, uh, that I quite enjoy this. Like, I It means that I could be anywhere. I wouldn't— don't have to be in Bullen. I could be down the coast. Like, if you— I think the thing is, it's you are constantly thinking, I can't make money being in a different area, a different location, which to some degree, um, you know, geography is a, is a factor. But now, you know, so it's like all the groundwork that you've put in previously, and now you can sort of take that step to be more remote than you have been. I quite like it. I'd like to live down the coast. Good internet.

Josh: Yeah, I think that part of it too is just the, um, the reframe of— I think the good thing is that it's forced us all to do the reframe, and because we've all done the reframe, it makes the individual decisions a lot easier. Because now if you come up with that idea, it's not the most far-fetched thing, whereas when you're in the office, it's a lot harder.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah. I mean, are we telling our real estate agent right now that we're not coming back? Yeah, the lease is done. No, but what about a studio? What about a, you know, high volume, like radio stations where they've got people coming through the doors constantly? It's a, you know, revolving door. What are those? What does that look like?

Josh: But what if you look at like the lease of like, you know, $40 grand or whatever, including outgoings, is it How could you use the $40 grand in a better way? I feel like there's so many other ways that we could— like, you could spend $10 grand on each of our home studios and then you've got that set up forever. Yeah, you know, like, would that potentially be a better investment?

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. I think it's, um, there is something about— I mean, I'm just feeling— I feel for cinemas, dude. What the fuck are cinemas gonna do?

Josh: I'll still go to the movies.

Tommy: Will you?

Josh: Yeah, I like it.

Tommy: Like, I think that if they open up 2 weeks, will you go? In 2 weeks' time, would you go?

Josh: Uh, in 2 weeks? No, probably not in 2 weeks.

Tommy: And so that's the, that's the thing, it's when. And so that's the unknown, right? I only push on the time frame because I think I'd like to go, but then I'm like, when the fuck would I go? When? Yeah, what do I need to know for me to feel comfy to go and watch John Wick? Yeah, actually, fucking John Wick comes out, I'm going. I don't care, next week.

Josh: When is it?

Tommy: John Wick 4, it's— I think it's 2022, or definitely 2021, late '21, '22.

Josh: Uh, so true. But what about, um, with guests? Would be, uh, would still be cool for a central place to go and record with guests. Yeah, I mean, I think that that's— that was our whole hypothesis, Shannon, with the studio, was you create this space that creative people can come in, you have the great guests. You like, we're very close to like the CBD in Melbourne. But then if it is, yeah, I wonder how much more it brings. Like if we dial this in, like I think that we're bringing it closer and closer to a point where it wouldn't actually make a difference if we're in person or not.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think, I mean, the, for us we had bigger big plans of different type of bigger space. And so, I mean, all that kind of stuff gets— you have to rethink it now. I don't have the thoughts about it yet, but I mean, co-working spaces I think will still exist. There'll be places that you could set up a centralised studio that you could have, have as your own, you know, that isn't the commitment like what we have had in the past.

Josh: It's just a small— it could be a small studio space. It's just like for George could be there, and there could also be like a booth or whatever. The only thing is, George, can you do the tech? Can we— can you manage the tech element? I don't know if I can. If we've got an A-list celeb guest and you're trying to work out how to turn the headphones on, it could be problematic.

Tommy: Sam Harris. Sam Harris sends a microphone to people. He sends a microphone.

Josh: Yeah, it's a good idea.

Tommy: It's, it's what's cheap now. It's like, here's a present from me to you. I think when, I think when you've, when you've got zero money at the very beginning of anything, yeah, that's a couple hundred bucks.

Josh: Well, yeah, but then if you're making 10 grand a show or whatever through ads, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it changes everything.

Tommy: Yeah, the, that makes a lot of sense. I mean, I was looking at house prices in Byron Bay yesterday. I think, you know, talking about down the coast, it's like you start looking a bit and I mean—

Mason: How much were they?

Tommy: Not that I have a deposit for a place, but you still kind of just look. Mate, Byron Bay, Jesus Christ, $985,000 is the median house price. That is $35,000 higher than Sydney, which has a ridiculous housing price. What's going on, mate? What's your— what, mate? I mean, I would have thought it would be your mum's hit the jackpot, lives in Byron.

Josh: It's full on, mate. Tones and I started that. Exciting.

Tommy: Do you like Tones and I though?

Josh: Yeah, no, but she did her whole— you don't like Tones and I?

Tommy: Cannot, cannot stand her.

Josh: Wow, I think we've hit a nerve here.

Tommy: Dance Monkey.

Josh: What don't you like about—

Tommy: Nah, it's annoying.

Mason: I get it.

Josh: No, what don't you like about—

George: She's got a— just her voice is a bit weird.

Tommy: She's—

George: I don't know, she's just not my style, Josh.

Mason: Okay, I get it.

George: Not for me.

Josh: Okay, TJ, has your battery gone flat? Is that what's happened?

Tommy: No, I just— I just turned—

George: oh, sorry, TJ, what are you doing?

Tommy: I just turned off I turned off the camera in vMix, which I had never done before, which I always do every time I get into the show.

Josh: What do you mean?

Mason: If you want to hide it, just click the button to the right of the microphone.

Tommy: Yeah, it's new. The new system we're using, we're feeding the camera into vMix, which I usually turn it off.

Josh: Okay. It's played up with the sync a little bit. But George, what have you—

George: Everyone's agreeing with me, by the way.

Josh: Really?

George: Ree, Tones and I. Yeah. Well, one person.

Mason: Oh, people are agreeing with what Alex, your show baker, is.

Josh: Grace says George's tanty. Yeah, what is it? Yeah, I tried to listen to, um, Packages, whatever they're called. Parcels.

Mason: Ah yeah, the one that you posted in the Facebook group, George.

George: Oh, Parcels. Yeah, not many lyrics. What was your problem? Hey, it's a slow bit. No, you gotta listen to the album. That was a different— that— this is a new studio album. Go and listen to the album. It's all lyrics.

Josh: It's—

Mason: why didn't you paste in the album then?

George: Why did you paste in the Because that one just got released like that day and I thought it was cool, you know.

Mason: Okay.

George: That was my song of the week. George, it was a newie.

Tommy: If you— if Tones and I was here right now— I've completely lost my sync, by the way. If Tones and I was here and you just had to give us some constructive feedback to up her game that would mean that you would listen, what would you say to her?

George: Um, I mean, I Gotta give it to her. She's done, you know, she's gotten there from being a busker. But for me, so she must be doing something right. But for a bit of advice, just sing a bit more normal.

Josh: Sing a bit more normal.

George: Change your voice. Change your voice a bit.

Josh: Oh no. How much of it like—

George: Pronounce your words properly.

Josh: Is it frustrating? How much of this is you just pushing back on popular culture?

George: Well, I mean, she was overplayed big time. So maybe that's overplayed on what? Something to do with it on every single station and every single TV show.

Josh: And so you listen to radio, do you? Like what stations were you listening to?

George: Oh, in Ubers and stuff, it's on all the time. So, yeah, everyone's—

Tommy: her song, her song Dance Monkey nearly has a billion plays on YouTube. Last night I was on YouTube and I was just reading comments in songs. Like, even you go to like, um, The Weeknd, I Can't Feel My Face, and the comments are still coming through.

Josh: Are you just telling us you can't feel your face?

Tommy: The Weeknd, I Can't Feel My Face is a song. It's had 1.4 billion streams or something.

Mason: You would have been—

Tommy: ridiculous.

Mason: You've sung it before.

Tommy: Yeah, um, but I've just jumped onto Tones and I because I think It's now a theme.

George: Oh, I've got another reason why I can't stand her.

Josh: Here we go.

George: The other reason why I can't is because of the name. Shocking name. Tones and I, grammatically, it's not actually that correct.

Josh: So what should it be? Tones and Me? Or what?

George: That's more correct. Yeah, it is.

Tommy: Comments are quite normal on Tones and I's Dance Monkey. It's— this is bizarre. I mean, George, I think you might be totally way off for this one.

Josh: I think you've really missed the mark on this one.

George: Hey, it's not for me, it's fine.

Tommy: I'm only here to find that comment.

Josh: I have the way that you're talking about it, we couldn't— like, you're not comfortable with anyone listening.

George: Well, now you asked me if I liked her and I said can't stand her. That's it. So, all right.

Tommy: Well, we'll name this episode George Hates Tones and I.

Josh: Uh, well, that's ruined that chance of her coming on the show.

George: She didn't come on. No, she can come on.

Mason: You just can't be there.

Josh: Any, any other celebrities you don't like, George?

George: Um, I have to think about that one. Uh, don't know, can't, not, I can't think of the top of my head.

Josh: What about if we were to have like a segment like George's Cancels? Like, you were to cancel someone every week. If you were to cancel—

Mason: Do you like Will Smith?

George: Yeah, I like Will Smith. I've got nothing against Will Smith.

Mason: George Clooney?

George: Yeah, yeah, he's good.

Mason: Madonna?

George: Nothing against her.

Josh: You were delayed. I feel like you've got an issue with women. Do you have an issue with women?

George: Uh, no.

Tommy: Um, Missy Higgins?

George: Who don't I like? Yeah, I like Missy Higgins.

Tommy: Yeah, uh, now Madonna can be questionable. She's done some weird, weird shit at the moment. Just her in a bathtub.

Josh: And so that's what it seems like you have the issue with.

George: Shannon says, I've never said I don't like her as a person, I just can't stand the music. She's probably a great chick. Who?

Tommy: She's done well for herself in her career.

George: Tone's and I. Yeah, yeah.

Josh: So any, uh, yep.

Tommy: Okay, I guess if you're at the top, you can be up for criticism. I'm sure she's doing fine, mate.

George: I'm in the arena, so I'm all right.

Tommy: What, because of your hump day replays?

Josh: Yeah, he's definitely not in the arena. There's no spotlight on you right now, George.

Tommy: If anything, your shot is almost so completely black.

Josh: It's a nightmare. It's really put me off, to be honest. It was like really hard to concentrate with your shit. We spent so much time. We didn't even get a chance to do the VIP Gronk stuff. Like, we haven't set up any of the WhatsApp stuff. We still need to do that.

Tommy: Yeah, we're getting there anyway. We're getting there.

Josh: Tomorrow's good show in the morning. Yesterday, the morning show this morning was good.

Mason: An hour 25. How good is that?

Josh: Yeah, anyway, I'm tired.

Mason: Oh, do you like Kyle Sanderlands? Just, just last one, George.

George: No, don't like Kyle Sanders.

Mason: Okay.

George: Jackie O. Oh, uh, Andrew Bolt.

Josh: Yeah, I mean, that's an obvious one, isn't it?

George: Don't like him. Yeah, don't like him at all.

Josh: Did you watch him, uh, the interview with George Powell? What'd you think of that?

George: I haven't watched it. No, I haven't watched it. Also, that other guy, Sam Newman. Don't like him.

Mason: Yeah, yeah, that's fair enough.

Josh: Yeah, I feel like TJ's got a soft spot for Sam Newman.

Mason: Yeah, not at all.

Tommy: Not at all.

Josh: Really? So you're great. Sam Newman.

Mason: What about Owen Wilson?

Josh: Owen Wilson?

George: Yeah, I love Owen Wilson.

Josh: Great.

Tommy: Think about like these uber famous people that we're talking about. You hardly hear from them, you know. You don't really know what's going on in Brad Pitt's mind. Tom Cruise. Actually, Tom Cruise is on the couch. What do you like? What about Tom Cruise? What do you think about Tom?

George: Yeah, I like Tom. I like Tom.

Tommy: Oprah?

George: I'm trying to think of this— this—

Josh: yeah, she's fine. Powerful woman you wouldn't mind? She's fine.

George: Who's the, uh—

Josh: You're more of a Dr. Oz guy.

George: I love Oprah. I love Oprah. Um, there's an actor, I can't think of his name, but that would be a controversial one. I reckon you guys wouldn't agree with me on that one.

Mason: Who is he?

Tommy: Wouldn't like him?

George: Ruffalo. Ruffalo.

Tommy: Carl Jordan.

Mason: Mark Ruffalo.

Tommy: Oh yeah, he's great.

Mason: I like Mark Ruffalo.

George: Yeah, he's good.

Mason: What's wrong with him?

George: I don't like him.

Josh: Really? What about Alec Baldwin? Do you like Alec?

George: Yeah, I like Alec.

Mason: Shit actor.

Josh: Okay, can we get it?

Tommy: Can we get a comprehensive list in a spreadsheet and all it says is their name, I like them, I don't like them?

Josh: Yeah, and it's just gonna tick. Quincaronx perfume.

George: Spreadsheet.

Josh: What about Amy Schumer?

George: Oh yeah, I love Amy Schumer. I think she's great.

Mason: Oh, um, uh, who— Rebel Wilson.

George: Yeah, I love Rebel Wilson as well.

Josh: Sarah Jessica Parker is awesome.

George: Yeah, nothing, nothing.

Mason: What is it, Melissa McCarthy?

George: Yeah, I love Melissa McCarthy. See, I love most people, the comedians. And I don't not like Mark Ruffalo. I just think—

Josh: didn't you say that Ruffalo guy?

George: He's a shit actor.

Mason: Well, I mean, to be fair, to be fair, Chris Hemsworth isn't a great actor either.

Tommy: Yeah. Oh, that hits home for George from Byron.

George: He's a good actor.

Tommy: Oh, see, look at the Byron boys, they're just backing each other up. Very cute.

Josh: Um, Russ says Sam's going viral ranting about not being able to play golf. Grace says, aren't the golf courses open?

Mason: And Alex says, no, the golf courses aren't open.

Josh: Okay, what's an activity that we could all do together, the four of us, when, um, things are open? Go-karting?

George: 10-pin bowling?

Tommy: Any, any that we can think of, because they're all closed right now.

Mason: Can we do tennis? I could get into that.

George: Bouldering?

Josh: No, not bouldering.

Tommy: We could do like, um, rock climbing. We could do go-karting.

Josh: All these would be great.

Tommy: Like, go-karting is great. Laser Force.

Josh: Maybe in WA, um, here we go, Grace has asked for the, uh, for the exclusive that the, um, the golf courses are still open in, um, the golf courses are open in WA. Robert says, but not Victoria only. So there we go.

Tommy: And we're putting the exclusive just in case Ben Fordham uses a grab from this show. Yeah, it came from the Daily Talk Show, and I hope you get a credit. Thank you. Thank you.

Mason: Great.

Josh: Just trying to think of other names that George— people that George— Tom Hanks.

Tommy: Oh, hang on. Okay, Matt Damon.

George: Love Tom Hanks. Love, love Matt Damon.

Josh: What about the guy that's got sort of the twang that has his shirt off a lot?

Tommy: Matthew McConaughey.

Josh: Yeah, McConaughey.

George: Brad Pitt.

Mason: McConaughey's good.

George: I like McConaughey. Yeah, I love McConaughey.

Mason: Him on Instagram is the best thing.

Josh: Gwyneth Paltrow.

George: I mean, yeah, I don't— yeah, same. I don't follow her stuff that closely.

Tommy: I tell you what, if you look— I mean, Gwen gets a lot of shit, I think. Uh, if you've just watched Iron Man, I quite like her. I think she's great. Yeah, but that's a character, right? She, she plays a great character in Iron Man.

Josh: Anyway, let's just do— I just want to do a quick—

Mason: oh, hang on. Grace, Grace was, um, the exclusive. The run the banner wasn't for the WA thing, it was for not liking Chris Hemsworth's acting, which is quite funny.

Josh: This is the problem with the Across the players. This is, this is, it's a bit of a nightmare. Um, I just, let's do, uh, Mila Kunis, love her. Emma Watson, love her. Julia Roberts, uh, 70%. What's, what's your issue with Julia?

George: I don't know, what's the thing? I don't know, she's like, yeah, she's, she's good. She's good.

Josh: Nicole Kidman.

George: Oh, 70.

Mason: Yeah, I'll probably be the same.

George: 80%. No, Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer Aniston. Yes. Oh, she's great.

Josh: Reese Witherspoon.

George: She's good. I actually love Race Week.

Tommy: Emily Blunt.

George: Emily Blunt. Emily Blunt.

Mason: She's great.

Josh: Is that the—

Mason: she's, um, she did The Quiet Place and John Krasinski. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: And the reason I don't know any actors or celebrities, she's great. I know that the connection because I watched the video, like there's the, um, the Good News. Have you seen The Office guys doing that Good News show?

Tommy: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he threw—

Mason: he did a prom.

Josh: Oh really?

George: Oh, is that him?

Mason: He did our formal.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's upsetting.

Mason: It's the good— what is it, the Good News Network or something like that?

Josh: I hear— to finish it off, this is a big one. Helen Mirren.

George: Can't even picture her, to be honest.

Josh: The only reason I know— I've just like Googled, but no, Bree loves Helen.

Mason: Helen Mirren's great. She's great.

Tommy: I know she's on film.

Josh: Sorry.

George: Yes.

Mason: No, that's who's, um, what's—

Tommy: who's, who's, um, yeah, I'm thinking someone else.

George: She's a legend.

Mason: Who's the lady in, um, the Bond films?

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, it's not her. Um, one, one last thing, a movie, uh, Edge of Tomorrow. Oh, great, with Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise. Have you seen it?

George: Great, great movie. I haven't— no, I haven't seen it. I think you like that sort of kind of actiony sci-fi kind of stuff.

Tommy: Yeah, I think the premise is strong enough, and it's even the— I think you'll be able to see past the sci-fi. Oh, actually, great actors.

George: They go into that, um, dome thing.

Mason: No, you're talking about Hunger Games?

George: No, no, I think I'm thinking of a different movie.

Mason: Judi Dench is the, the—

Tommy: yeah.

Mason: Person in Bond. She's great.

Josh: So, Oliver says, yeah, right, um, 97— this is in the chat— 97 is as hot as I thought, but Tommy and Josh got the stuff. What does got the stuff mean? And what does Oliver think of George? Got the stuff. Are they just referring to my books?

George: I think, uh, no, maybe you guys are the full package.

Mason: Well, so what does that mean?

Josh: But if they're saying that— if Oliver's saying that Sevs is hot, look, we don't have to—

George: Sevs is hot now, but you've, you know, you've got the stuff.

Mason: What does that mean? If you've got the stuff?

Tommy: Yeah, I'd rather, I'd rather be called hot than you've got the stuff. Stuff. What kind of stuff? Stuffing?

Mason: You're minimalist.

Josh: Yeah, I don't need stuff. I want to be hot.

Tommy: Still time, baby. You're young, 29.

Josh: Yeah, I might be a hot 60-year-old.

Tommy: Yeah.

George: Oh yeah, why not? Gray hair?

Tommy: Why not?

George: Or bald?

Josh: You'd be bald.

Mason: Give us a smile. Give us your hot smile.

Tommy: All right, you guys. You guys are outrageous.

Josh: Um, why did you—

Mason: why did you switch to George? Was that just accidental?

Josh: Mistake. It's been a long day.

Tommy: All right guys, thanks, thanks for joining us in the comments. Thanks for listening to the show. How can people sign up to be a part of the WhatsApp VIP Gronks group?

Josh: I have to go to, uh, no, sorry, I'm cutting Mason off because, uh, I'll be managing—

Mason: do you want to do it?

Josh: Uh, Gronks going forward. Yeah. I'm the head of VIP.

Mason: I believe it's my phone number that it's attached to.

Josh: Will it be?

Tommy: Oh, really?

Mason: Well, at the moment, yeah.

Josh: What do you mean at the moment? You didn't even download the fucking app.

Mason: No, I have it. I've created the account. I've done more than you've done.

Josh: On the WhatsApp Business? Are you using the business one?

Mason: Yeah, I've done it.

Josh: When did you do that?

Mason: Just before the episode.

Josh: Okay, so you tried to use— I see, it's a power grab. You want to use your phone number?

Mason: Uh, we can do what you want. We don't have to use my phone. We can use your phone number.

Mason: Yeah. Oh, Shawn Mendes. Okay, great. Gem just said, I stand by what I said when I met Sev's Shawn Mendes vibes.

George: But let's tell them. Oliver replied, let's tell them too. Oliver said, just got surprised by the close-up of Josh's face and didn't want to discount Tommy, that's all. And then about a second later said, okay, I've made my mind up, which I'm assuming was from your smiley tongue. Face, Josh.

Josh: So is that good, do you think? Was that good?

George: I think he likes you.

Josh: Yeah, really?

George: Still no mention of me. That's fine.

Mason: It's your lighting. Give us the tongue, Josh.

Josh: No, give us the tongue, George.

Mason: George, dude, can you do the—

Josh: I can't tell you're doing it, George. Are you doing it?

George: I was doing it.

Josh: You weren't.

George: Where?

Tommy: Small.

Mason: No, do the tongue. Where is it?

Josh: I can't see it.

Mason: Ridiculous.

Tommy: We've lost the plot.

Josh: All right, it's a daily talk show. We'll see you tomorrow, guys. Have a good one.
