Merch Deliveries & Cocktail Menus

Josh: The Daily Talk Show. It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 706.

Tommy: What's happening, guys? This feels like the future.

Josh: This is great. We've got Shannon in Queensland. We've got, uh, you, you boys, you're still in Port Melbourne, surely?

Tommy: We're driving through, um, South Bank. Uh, yeah, we're not far off from my son's daycare. I'm just gonna grab him while I'm at it.

Josh: Can you drop the merch off to Robert, or you don't have it in the car? Because Robert's in South— Okay, that's fine, that's all right. But I mean, Shannon, are you excited about Georgie Boy's hump day?

Shannon: I mean, Wednesday is my second favourite day after Friday, so I mean, very excited. Love it.

Josh: How's all the Pilates stuff going? So what does it take to be a Pilates instructor?

Shannon: Um, oh gosh, I don't know. You've got to be able to revise a script pretty well. I mean, we're doing, we're doing around 150 exercises just this week, and you have to teach every single one of them and then also be taught every single exercise by a couple of different people as well. So, um, yeah, it's a lot of repetition, but that's good. It's, um, yeah, it should be good eventually.

Josh: Yeah. Have you got a favourite Pilates move?

Shannon: I'm a reformer girl, so I really like— I don't particularly like mat work. I would prefer to be on the reformer. So anything on the reformer, I really like abs on the reformer and maybe triceps and inner thigh stuff.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Do you actually—

Shannon: And to take as well. Yeah.

Josh: TJ, just so you know, I've muted you, but just wave if you want to talk, just because— Oh, okay. Get going.

Tommy: I was just going to say, this is what a date would go like using your script, because people would be thinking, well, who are those other guys in the car? And I need an explanation. So you haven't actually set up why Sevs and I are even—

Josh: Oh, I'm just being— no, you're just— I'm just doing the rounds. What, can't Shannon and I have a nice convo?

Tommy: No, it sounds like a great convo, but I think you're just missing a few dots here.

Josh: I don't know. I think maybe because you're in the car, you think it's all about you, but Shannon and I are having a great time about the reformer. Do you have a reformer, Shannon? Do you actually have one?

Shannon: Um, so I went to buy one at the start of sort of between the start of the year and like the end of summer and all the reformers in Australia are just, they're just gone since gyms were shut down and, and the period just before gyms were shut down where Corona corona was sort of starting to affect borders and things like that, they just completely got snapped up. So that's pretty annoying, but I actually found a website. This is how desperate I'm getting. I actually found a website recently that has like a full detailed list and plan and actual plans to build your own reformer. So Obviously, you have to be pretty handy on the tools, but my partner's going to give it a go for me. So I'm currently ordering all the parts for it and he's going to build me one.

Josh: So that's the best.

Shannon: That's great.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah. I mean, now TJ, before we get to that, have you ever done Pilates?

Tommy: No, I've never used a reformer bed. But I've done exercises that are probably from Pilates, but— not Pilates specific. I was asking Shannon, I need something for my lower back. I need help. I need an exercise.

Shannon: I'll prescribe you something. I'll prescribe you something. It's actually really funny because I, um, I have been lifting weights for, um, like exclusively lifting weights for a couple of years now. I used to enjoy running, but I used to get just really sore hips and must have been terrible technique. And so I turned to weightlifting, um, to really strengthen all my leg muscles and things like that. And I thought jumping on a reformer 18 months ago for the first time, I sort of thought, you know, I can throw around pretty heavy weight and I'm pretty good at weightlifting. I jumped on a reformer about a year and a half ago and I swear it is just, it's something else. I don't, like, it's hard to comprehend how I can, you know, deadlift 100 kilos, say, and then struggle so much on a, you know, on a specific resistance on a reformer. It's just, It really targets like really deep and detailed muscles in your body that you just wouldn't use any other time. It's crazy.

Josh: I feel like if I was to get a— I feel like a reformer takes up a lot of space in a house. I feel like you've got to really be committed.

Shannon: Yeah, yeah.

George: Weren't you going to buy a rowing machine once, Josh?

Josh: Yeah, I nearly did. But I was told that—

Tommy: Work it, Josh! Yeah, Josh, am I there? Am I muted or no?

Josh: No, no, no, you're on. I've just kept you on. Yeah, yeah.

Tommy: Weren't you going to drive to a DHL in Port Melbourne but went to the wrong one?

Josh: Yeah, well, so the annoying thing is, yeah, I mean, it's— I'm definitely not that guy to go to the wrong one, to be clear. I've got everything dialled in. But I, um, mate, we, we went to the wrong computer store. Yeah, yeah, it's the annoying thing about Google Maps is you type in the thing and it— there's two things and you go to one thing, it's not the thing. But the annoying thing is I waited 10 minutes to get a park at the wrong one, so that's why I was even more late because I was waiting for a guy to move. And, and so anyway, um, TJ and Seb, what's, what's the latest? How, how did you go?

Mason: Well, so we, we, we went down to the, um, DHL depot and, and, um, yeah, so we, we got in, uh, and we had all our parcels and we had to scan them in into their system one by one. So we had, we had to put on all the labels and everything whilst we were there. And it was, it was sort of good because I had a, had a room that was, you're only allowed one person in the room.

Josh: This is exciting. Shannon's got the DHL details.

Mason: I can confirm the SMS and the emails are going out to the details provided.

Tommy: So, mate, I tell you what, the service— oh, it's so good. Never have I seen that service at AusPost.

Mason: They were really packing, they were packing everything.

Shannon: Oh, so my suggestion was just not that bad.

Josh: It was, it was great. It was very good.

Mason: They asked if we wanted Snickers in there, they were putting them in there for us.

George: Really?

Josh: So I was caught off guard. I didn't know. Yeah, did you say yes to the Snickers?

Mason: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we said yes.

Josh: Yeah, when you told me, Sevs, that I couldn't come in. What did my face— what was my face like?

Mason: Oh, you would— you would— I don't— I can't even describe the emotion because you just got up and left.

Josh: Well, I said, so, so I can't do anything then? And you were like—

Tommy: and you just walked out.

Josh: Well, I couldn't— I gave you the cards because I'd written all the cards for everyone, and then I was like— I was just trying to reconcile everything that happened. I was like, are they being rude or nice right now? I couldn't tell. 'Are you happy or sad?' Or I couldn't read the room. I was like, 'Where's Tommy?' And I looked over and Tommy's sitting on the couch and sort of in— it was very confusing.

Mason: I mean, that's, um, that's, that's the best service that I've ever gotten before. Like, they, they were great.

George: Really?

Josh: So they were nice?

Mason: That's so helpful.

Josh: Did they, did they mention me? Did they say, 'What's wrong with you, mate?' No.

Mason: Well, we did, we did have a bit of, bit of banter about you going to the the wrong facility. They love that.

Tommy: Yeah, they got around it.

Josh: Yeah, really? Did they say that it happens a lot though? Did it happen a lot?

Tommy: That's dispatch, that's like head office.

Mason: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: A good career gear. Yeah. All right, anyway, um, if, if TJ's spewing that we didn't get to his DHL, um, storey quick enough, uh, George must be absolutely fuming that the reformer and DHL has taken over what is normally his episode.

George: No, it's been great. I've been loving it. And you can, yeah, put off the, put off the hump day replay a bit longer.

Josh: No, no, no, I think we'll do it now. The people of the comments, do you want to see today's hump day replay? Uh, Casey says, can you turn up Sev's audio please, JJ? No, Sev's just gonna have to talk louder.

Mason: Okay.

Josh: I could just— I could probably bring up your, um—

Mason: No, no, no, it's all good. I can talk louder. It's all good.

Josh: Are you covering the mic by any chance?

Jess: No, no.

Tommy: Okay, he just doesn't talk as loud as me.

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: Okay, everyone wants it. Real Inky Doo says, says, of course. Gimme, gimme, gimme, says Gem. Grace says yes. Uh, Oliver says Sev's is defo cute, which is nice. And, um, Anyway, on that note—

George: Hyped up.

Josh: You're hyped up. Any sort of final words, George, before we play?

George: Yeah. Well, I need to do my Prosecco thing.

Josh: Okay.

George: So, I'll do that. It's actually— Okay. So, today I'll be drinking the same as last week, Zonin Familia Prosecco. I got a 3-pack today, $14.

Josh: Well, that's good. That gives you a few. What's just happened here? Hang on. How have you guys—

Mason: We've just done a rotate.

Josh: Yeah. Okay.

George: Okay, great.

Josh: Sorry, George.

George: That's okay. So I can have the other two on Friday night. And it sounded like Tommy and Mace were trying to get sponsorship from DHL because they were just saying how good their service was. I've done 4 episodes of my show now and I've got an ad. So keep your eyes peeled, I've got a sponsor.

Josh: Okay, here we go.

George: That's all I say.

Josh: This is, uh, the Hump Day Replay by George.

Tommy: Here we go.

George: This week we celebrated our 700th episode.

Josh: Episode 700.

Tommy: And never do that kind of an intro again, mate.

George: The week started with a classic prank on Mr. 97.

Shannon: He looks so stressed.

Tommy: She just burnt Mason.

George: Having an influencer on the show, Grace, we just had to get her product pick.

Tommy: Latest purchase under $100 that's given you the most value?

Shannon: Yeah, the pasta maker. It's, it's amazing. I don't know why I haven't had got one before.

George: Forget store-bought pasta. With the Napoli pasta machine, a couple of eggs A bit of flour, a few hours, oh, and don't forget that love, you've got yourself a delicious homemade pasta. Bellissimo!

Shannon: It's so versatile and lightweight, I can even pop it in my bag and take it to my friend's house. It's just so quick and easy to use, just a few hours out of my night for a tasty midweek meal.

George: Spaghetti Bolognese, Cabanara Fettuccine, it's all so easy with the Napoli Pasta Maker. Is that believable? With the 700th episode came a huge announcement.

Josh: Put it in your calendars, 7 AM on Friday we will be starting our 24-hour stream. George, play the motion graphics, mate. Oh, um, you do your hump day replay every week. A bit of initiative would have been nice, to be honest, George.

Tommy: At least 24 hours of non-stop content.

Josh: Maybe we could do, um, 24-hour shows in 24 hours, 24 hours total on a weekend, within that 24-hour period.

George: Lots of The Gronks are keen to get involved, including Ryan John.

Tommy: Here is the lake that I live across the street from.

Josh: On Friday, I'm going to be doing 12 laps, which equals a marathon, which means out of the Daily Talk Show hosts and the Gronk Squad, I will be the superior walker of the group. Every time Josh brings up that he's such a great walker— I set out to do a million steps in a month.

George: Yes, absolutely.

Josh: I can outwalk you.

Mason: No.

Josh: All right, well, I did a 12K and an 8K.

Tommy: And then Tom goes, yeah, but obviously Ryan is the better walker.

Josh: I contest that you are the better walker, but if it's a bit of gear and you want to play into it, I'm happy to do a bit of gear for you.

George: The 24-hour stream is going to need a full squad effort. Casey had the great idea of selling merch and Scooter Derek has been instrumental in getting that rolling.

Tommy: Derek says, get me graphics by tonight.

Josh: We decided on a t-shirt and a crewneck jumper.

Tommy: Just so you know, we hadn't discussed any of that before that show yesterday. And since, we've sold a shitload of merch.

Josh: Our web designer copped it too.

Tommy: Bree said, "You need to apologise to Blahj." And the update is that they'll be completed by tomorrow morning, or what are we looking at? They're done.

Josh: They're done, diddy dum dum.

George: It's been a milestone week for the Daily Talk Show. We want to thank all the guests who have been a part of it. As always, we love having Gemma Watts on the show.

Josh: We've got it!

Shannon: Our first Gronkh couple has happened through the show, and that's a beautiful thing.

George: Mr. 97's better half Grace.

Shannon: He definitely provided some level of charm because I don't think I would do that.

Jess: I don't know, I guess it's just feels right.

George: We were inspired by Phoebe Simmons.

Jess: We always speak about being a community and a place where women can feel lifted up. It's important to me that my team also feel that they are really supported in everything that they do.

George: And it was awesome to catch up with new mum and old friend Stacey June.

Jess: Ben just put on a song and we danced in the lounge room and I get teary thinking about it because that's my life, that's the moments, that's what I wanted, that's the things that are incredible.

George: And also a massive thanks to all the Gronks that got involved this week with suggestions for the 24-hour show, Ryan John for coming up with a challenge, and Scooter Derek, Dion, and While You Sleep for organising all the merch.

Josh: Gronk Gear, get it while it's hot.

Mason: Gronk Gear.

George: That's it from me. I've been Dodgy George. Good night, Australia. Love you.

Josh: He's done it again.

Tommy: Well done, George. You're a good man.

Josh: Thanks, guys. The pasta maker ad, I mean, if you're listening to the audio, you've got to go see that. What does Hannah and Chloe think when you say when you you know, ask them to do this shit.

George: They were straight away like, yeah, let's do it. They didn't really get it.

Josh: No, they didn't question it. Do you have to explain the idea?

George: I'm happy about that. Yeah, kinda. Yeah, I did. I said, oh, you know, Grace loves her pasta maker, which is another reason why Hannah loves Grace, because she loves her pasta maker as well. Oh really?

Tommy: Do you actually use it, George?

George: Well, not really.

Josh: You have a pie maker as well. What do you use more, the pie maker or the pasta maker?

George: Yeah, I use probably the pie maker more. Actually, I went to get flour to make pasta the other day. I was going to film it and stuff. And there was no flour in Coles at all. Like, not even a single type of flour. I think that's like the new— That's because all the hipsters are baking.

Tommy: All the hipsters are baking bread. You mentioned that early in the week, Josh. And also Shannon probably used up most of it yesterday on that cake she was making.

Josh: That was an impressive cake. Are you, um, how'd you learn to make cake, Shannon? Like, how do you, cause it's pretty, they're pretty primo.

Shannon: Yeah, it was a, originally it was just a, um, like a creative thing, just a, um, bit of a stress reliever really. I like to bake and I like to go to the gym. And the two counteract each other quite well, which is nice. Um, but I don't know, I'm quite, quite a creative person, so, um, and I also like seeing an end result. I'm very driven by like a visual something that I can sort of have in front of me. Um, so yeah, I like, I like the process from start to finish, and I like the, um, having the creative control over things like that. I only do it for, um, friends and family. I've had a few people ask me if they can like pay for me to make cakes and things like that, but it's like purely from a sort of love for the craft thing that I just really enjoy doing.

Josh: They're so good.

Tommy: Are we friends and family or no?

Shannon: Absolutely.

Tommy: Oh, great.

Shannon: Absolutely. I mean, I probably couldn't make something up here in Queensland and send it down, but get me in a commercial kitchen in Melbourne and I'll make you guys a cake.

Josh: Well, it has to be a commercial kitchen. Is it going to be a commercial? You love DHL. What do you think DHL could do for us?

Shannon: Are you all getting a DHL cake down to you guys?

Tommy: Well, we saw them. They open every single parcel. They have to go through every single parcel. But the guy had someone there and he was like cutting open like a face mask box to look inside to see what was in there. Like, they're very—

Josh: Did you make friends? Like, have you added any of them on Instagram or anything, TJ?

Tommy: Oh no, we're catching up next week.

Josh: Um, we're, uh, no, but a good banter. What's up? What is the banter like? You're obviously making fun of me. You sound like—

Tommy: oh, he was—

Mason: so there's drugs in the, drugs in the packages banter.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mason: That's the best fire.

Tommy: Well, I told him that I— because I said, um, he said, oh, it doesn't, doesn't AusPost do this?

Shannon: I said, yeah, I send my drugs through AusPost. Um, they don't do this.

Tommy: And he loved it.

Josh: It was good.

Tommy: It was good. It was great.

Josh: Oh good.

Shannon: He was, uh, that, that part of the hump day replay with all the merch stuff was awesome. The pasta gear was good, but the behind the scenes, it's really cool. It was, I don't know, it was just really good to see you guys hustle and get it done. It was epic.

Josh: It's pretty— so we've done—

George: it was a hustle.

Josh: Yeah, go on, TJ.

Tommy: Yeah, you've also been hustling. Can you run us through your cocktail menu for Friday night that you worked on?

Shannon: Yes. Yeah, of course. So we've got the 3 different options. So I thought I'd do like a vodka-based one, a tequila-based one, and then like your espresso martini. So again, your vodka in there and then also Kahlúa. But so we've got the first one is the Cut Through Cosmopolitan. Thanks, 97, for the help. On naming that one.

Mason: That's all good.

Shannon: Cut Through Cosmopolitan. I thought I'd try and theme them for this particular podcast and for the marathon this Friday. So, we've got Cut Through Cosmopolitan, the 24-Hour Marathon Margarita, so that's your tequila margarita. And then—

Josh: Will that be icy? Do I need to sort of— Do I need to crush ice for that one, Shannon?

Shannon: I mean, it's, it's optional. You can always make like a slushy style margarita, but the classic one, no, the classic one, you'll have ice cubes in your tumbler to cool it down before you serve it.

Josh: But this is what I had. The night that you said I could date Grace, we were at a Mexican restaurant and we had margaritas. What did I say? What did I say?

George: No, no, I was saying, was that the night I was following Josh.

Shannon: You said the night I could date, uh, date Grace, but you meant—

Mason: you said I could—

Josh: oh yeah, Sev said I could date great, as in he could date Grace.

Tommy: Oh, I heard that.

Josh: He knows what's up. Did you understand, Sev?

Shannon: Sorry.

Mason: No, I got, I got it, but you may— it did, it did sound a little funny, but I was with you.

Tommy: No, I had the reaction.

Josh: And so anyway, we had margaritas, but we were slightly upset because they didn't, they, they didn't have sort of the slushy consi— we were expecting a slushy consistency. And so I feel like it would be nice to be able to try and get a little bit of slush. And so maybe I need to get— yeah.

Shannon: And so, um, alternatively, have you got like a Ninja Bullet or a Vitamix or a blender of some description at home?

Josh: Uh, yeah, yeah, I've got a, um, what's that, what's the thing called that I have?

Mason: Nutribullet.

Josh: Nutribullet.

Shannon: Smoothies. Yeah, Nutribullet. Perfect. That's fine. Yeah, I'll send you a DM with, uh, the extra details for making your little icy slushie. And then the last one was exclusive Run the Banner espresso martinis.

Josh: Oh, sorry, hang on. I can, I can do the— tell us about the espresso martinis.

Shannon: So the espresso martinis are your classic vodka, Kahlúa, espresso shot, and then garnish garnished with— I garnish mine with the coffee beans like you would get in a bar or a pub, but you don't have to do that. So I'm gonna use, um, I have an espresso machine, so I do just little espresso shots in that. You definitely don't need to have, um, cafe coffee, but if you do happen to go get a coffee on Friday morning, definitely grab just a— and you wanted to make the espresso martinis, grab just a extra espresso takeaway and pop it in the fridge and really good to go for the night.

Josh: Oh, that's a good idea. I love that.

Shannon: Oh yeah, I do that all the time.

Josh: Yeah. Do I ask for a long black? What do I ask for?

Shannon: No, you want a single espresso shot depending on how many you want. So if you want just one espresso martini, just get one single espresso shot. If you are going to have two, get a double and then halve it when you go to make your first one.

Josh: So we need to be slightly careful because after the Friday night drinks, we're going to have to still do a bunch of hours of content.

Shannon: And so I don't expect you to have all of them. You can just choose one and literally just make one cocktail if you wanted to get involved.

Josh: So Gemma was, I think, why don't you do one each? Yeah, I think that's a good idea. But Gem said, hey, I'm making all three. Well, Gem actually said, hey, you've got to, um, just so you know, you won't be able to get all the booze at once, so you and Bree will have to go on separate trips to Dan Murphy's. She's already worked out the loophole so I can get all the booze at my place because you can't buy all the bottles. No.

Tommy: Quick question, is Cointreau— is that a triple sec?

Shannon: Yes. So Cointreau is like a premium— Cointreau is a premium triple sec. Yeah.

Tommy: So you can get cheap—

Shannon: primo, delicious. That's what I'm getting. Yeah, no, uh, yeah, you can get cheap ones. Your cheapest triple sec I think you can get for like $15 or $20, like Yeah, super affordable. You can get like, remember the, remember the, remember the VOC? You can get the BOK sort of, yeah, liqueurs, and they're all pretty cheap. And they do a triple sec of that one. I know, at least at Dan Murphy's they do. Uncle Dan's.

Tommy: Right.

Josh: Perfect. Can I just say, I saw Sevs for the first time in a while. In real life. TJ, do you think he's looking older?

Tommy: Well, his confidence is there.

Josh: No, don't you think? Don't you think he's completely changed?

Tommy: He's bigger than I thought he was. He's been, he's been—

George: I honestly had the same thought as well, Josh.

Josh: Yeah, what did you think?

George: What was it exactly? You just seemed like a— you seemed like, yeah, you're older and you're like bigger.

Mason: Is it, is it the facial hair? Because I haven't, I haven't shaved in like a week.

Tommy: Peppin' his step.

Josh: I don't know. I appreciate that you wore tracksuit pants to the office.

Mason: Really?

Josh: Yeah, I put jeans on.

Tommy: He hasn't been out much, have you?

Mason: No.

Tommy: He said to me, he's like, oh, um, he was like pointing out like people interacting, like, I feel like you, you haven't seen the real world. He's, he's come out, he went, went into isolation a child and he's come out a man.

Josh: Yeah, Grace is trolling you about your, uh, in quotation marks, facial hair. We can't see it on the— I guess we have to— where is it?

Shannon: Here we go.

Mason: There you go.

Josh: Yeah, no, that's, that's a joke.

Shannon: Real, um, you've got that real early 20s male TikTok vibe at the moment with a little bit of, you know, those ones that are pathetic.

Josh: Yeah, Nick Callan says, 'Sevs calls that facial hair,' which Nick doesn't say a bad thing about anyone, but that sounds like a, it sounds like a slight troll. But, um, yeah, maybe a little bit of, um, yeah, just a bit of bravado as well, you know, just sort of walking around the office like he owns the joint.

Shannon: I mean, I mean, everybody's, uh, everybody's sort of come to see the little bit of attitude lately, so yeah, I'll be stepping into his own tonight.

Josh: Have you noticed the attitude, Shannon, as someone who's Absolutely, it's the best. What's the attitude?

Tommy: What do you see?

Shannon: I know, we're all shocked.

Josh: Here we were like, it's—

Shannon: I'm equally shocked, equally shocked, but amused and delighted. Let's say delighted. Bring it on, 97. More personality, more attitude.

Tommy: Josh, when was the first episode that Mr. 97 was on?

Mason: 3 bedwetters.

Tommy: Was that it?

Mason: Yeah.

Josh: Uh, yeah. Oh, was it really then? It was definitely, um, so the first— yeah, I'll have to look it up because we nearly called you Mayo because that used to be unique. Mayo23 or whatever.

Tommy: God, he would— he actually wouldn't be with Grace right now.

Josh: GPS13. No, I think that a GPS13 would date her with a Mayo23.

Tommy: Yeah, definitely.

Josh: Um, George, what was your Hotmail Growing up, did you have a Hotmail?

George: Yeah, still got it for my Facebook. chicken_drumsticks8@hotmail.com.

Josh: Yes.

Tommy: Shannon, what was yours? I feel like you'd have a funny one.

Josh: This is the funny thing. Shannon's still rocking. I mean, Queensland, not to slam Queensland, but you guys still use Hotmail in Queensland.

Shannon: Yes. You know what? To be fair, I thought about that when you quickly called me this afternoon about being on the show, and I was like, Yeah, yeah, just send it, send the link through to the email.

Josh: And then I thought, ah, it's a Hotmail.

Shannon: This isn't going to be good. I'm going to get pushback from the Hotmail.

Josh: It's pretty simple. Because I don't have a @shannontilbury.com. No, no, I just feel like a Gmail would be a little bit classier. No, but I appreciate it.

Shannon: True, true. Actually, we use our Gmails for our business, like any business sort of stuff that we do. For my partner's engineering consultancy firm.

Josh: But keep the Hotmail for some of your more casual stuff. Yeah.

Jess: Yeah.

Mason: Sure.

Tommy: Sure.

Shannon: Answering the question, Tommy, I had a very, very basic Hotmail address when I was growing up. And this actually reminded me the other day when you were talking about should you buy bodijacket.com? Not that my mom bought me a .com, but my mom, when I was I'm trying to think, maybe 10 or 11 or whenever it is that you sort of need to start having an email account for subscriptions or whatever. She actually just got me shannontilney@hotmail.com and I was like, that's so basic. Like all my friends. I know now I look back and I'm like, thank God.

Josh: What an investment. It could have been an index fund, but you got a Hotmail. I think it's great.

Mason: Really compounding.

Tommy: The nightmare is though logging into it now. It's, um, Outlook. It's Microsoft. And I, I had my Hotmail account connected to my Skype, and I had to— I had the wrong, um, backup number. It was a nightmare to get back into it. But I always wanted to know who has I am at symbol Hotmail. I am a Hotmail.

Josh: Oh yeah, that was someone.

Mason: Someone's got—

Tommy: yeah, can you eat— can George— can you just email them right now and say Who are you? Yeah, it'll go to spam.

George: My big media company email address, or—

Josh: yeah, you can do that. No, I'm sure you'll fuck it up with some sort of autoresponder that will just bring down the whole G Suite. But, um, Shannon, on the, the nostalgia— I mean, the Hotmail stuff has the nostalgia vibe. I, um, this morning I was watching all the old Tony Hawk, uh, Pro Skateboarders as I was getting all the DHL stuff ready, what were the games? What were you playing when you were younger?

Shannon: I was definitely a Sims kid, like PC Sims.

Josh: Yeah, great.

Shannon: I was a, like a Nintendo 64 kid. So, like your Donkey Kongs, your Duke Nukems, that sort of, yeah, that sort of stuff. What else? And then, you know, you sort of handheld Switches or, you know, whatever they used to be back in the day too. I'm just trying to think. Yeah, yeah, like Donkey Kong. Wow. I was like, wow, how good are all these games everyone's talking about?

Josh: There's a great doco. Have you watched King of Kong, the documentary of the guys that have it out for Donkey Kong? It's a great doco.

Tommy: No.

Josh: It's got like everything. I don't think it's on Netflix.

Tommy: It's about the people who can clock the game, isn't it? They—

Josh: Yeah, but it was back in the day where it was like you'd go to the arcade machines. And so, these like guys in their, you know, late 30s or whatever.

Tommy: Absolute losers. Unless this doco came out.

Josh: Yeah, yeah.

George: Otherwise—

Shannon: They didn't have a girlfriend.

Josh: There's so many, I mean, there's so many examples of that, right? Where it's like you're a loser until a doco comes out about you.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, the murder wasn't worth it until you got a Netflix special, you know.

Josh: Well, you think about that, all the Tiger King stuff, like, that would have— without the doco, I don't know, I don't know if it would have been as big a thing.

Shannon: But, um, I mean, yeah, Shannon, I mean, there was much rah-rah around Steve Jobs. Sorry to interrupt you. Was there as much rah-rah around Steve Jobs as, you know, pre, pre the movie?

Josh: Like Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, I don't even remember the Steve Jobs movie. I mean, I think that it was, it was when he died, it was a big deal. Like, um, it was always the— I'd wake up in the morning and like at 3 AM and watch the, uh, keynotes and stuff. Like, that was a big thing.

George: Yeah, yeah, there's been less stuff about Tim Cook. I reckon. Like, no one really knows that name compared to Steve.

Josh: Well, Donald Trump called him Tim Apple accidentally in a press conference.

Tommy: That's a good troll.

Josh: It's an accident, I think. I don't think he even meant it. But Shannon, to outsource, George is very busy. George, how are you feeling, by the way? Because you've got a lot of work in the next week and a half.

George: Yeah. Feeling pretty under the pump, but it should be alright.

Tommy: Prosecco helps.

Josh: And so, just to outsource some work, Shannon, what do you think are some highlights in the— Because you've been— You were WhatsApping me. When was the first time you started listening to the show? Do you remember?

Shannon: So, I figured out that because I first started listening when Stace was first on the show, because I was a very big Stace June, Krista Mercer, Thinkagirls fan back in the day. Um, so, and I went back to actually find the date, and it was August 2018 when she was first on with you guys. I think it was episode 153. Josh, you like must have had— I went back and listened to that exact episode as well before Stace came on yesterday. You must have had like— you sounded so sick, either so sick or really, really young. Yeah, go back and listen. You almost If I had just heard that with no context, I wouldn't have even thought it was you.

Josh: We're just sort of becoming men. You're watching the evolution of boys becoming men. When are you going to become a man, George?

George: I don't know, never. I was thinking maybe that could have been the time when you were recording like 7 shows a day or whatever before you went overseas.

Josh: I reckon— Oh no, it was Stacey. I was remote. I reckon I lost my voice.

Shannon: I was going to say, I think you were remote and Stacey was in the studio with Tommy.

Josh: Yeah, I think that it could have been the week that I was in Kraków in Poland. That's when I got really sick. Do you remember that, TJ? Yeah, my voice went.

Tommy: It was so funny.

Josh: It was a nightmare.

Tommy: And then my voice went in New York.

Mason: It was payback.

Tommy: Yeah, it was payback. Because I was laughing so hard at your voice.

Josh: But so, Shannon, to give George a bit of slack, and he might even be able to edit this in to save some time for him too. What have been some of your highlights from the Daily Talk Show?

Shannon: Just since I've been listening? Yes. Okay, so—

Josh: It's a long time.

Shannon: It is a long time.

Josh: And I understand it's the equivalent of sort of saying, what's your favourite thing about me? But go with it, you know.

George: I'll go with it.

Shannon: I'll go with it for your sake. I'm going to say that Definitely all of Stacy's episodes, just because I just love everything that she puts out and I've just learned so much from her. I really enjoyed, like, recent times, I really enjoyed Shane Jacobson. I'd never, blasphemy, but I had never ever seen Kenny. I don't know, for whatever reason, I went back and watched it after that episode. I know, how un-Australian. Oh my goodness. I went back and watched it after that episode and I was in tears. I was just like, oh my God, this is the best. How has anybody let me live to 29 years old and I've never seen Kenny?

Josh: Really? I can't remember. What were you crying about? What was the actual— what was the emotion?

Shannon: Oh, through the episode. He— I don't know.

Tommy: No, no, no.

George: Oh, not—

Josh: Oh, okay.

Shannon: No, just more of an overall. Yeah, no, no, no. More of just an overall after having listened to the episode earlier during the day. I was just like, this man is an absolute national treasure. 'fragile,' like, he's the best.

Josh: He's great.

Shannon: Yeah, I really enjoy the perspective into the media industry and when you guys do go deep and talk about radio. So your Craig Brewces, you know, those sorts of episodes where it's like a little peek behind the curtain and we kind of get to see what you guys worked through and just how it all works. It's really interesting just for a general punter to sort of hear a conversation. I mean, the podcast ranker was an absolute highlight. I mean, just—

Josh: Thank you.

Shannon: That really delivered.

Tommy: Yeah. And this is why we love you, Shani.

Shannon: Podcast ranker.

Tommy: This is why we love you. Do you refer to yourself?

Josh: Yeah, the podcast ranker is a bit of a—

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: It's a bit of a joke at the moment, but the— I mean, you're a fan of Ash Williams. What do you think about—

Shannon: He's out, he's in the bin.

Josh: Yeah, in the bin.

Shannon: Yeah, in the bin. Uh, I mean, I used to, I used to, I used to like him to a degree because I was like, this guy is cracked. Like, what? And you know what, I've stopped listening to his podcast just because Sometimes I'm like, wow, I feel dumber for having listened to this shit. It's not even like, in the background, I just feel stupider. But I do, I have to admit, I do enjoy listening to Team Effort from time to time where Ed just tears shreds off him. Like, yeah, just excellent. And Tony, oh, they're so funny when they just absolutely grill him to the ground. It's that good. I really enjoy that. But yeah, he's probably not like big downer shit bloke, but he just comes across lately like sort of, I don't know, too good for you guys.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, that's what, like, I like people that like me. And so, Ash, if you want to like me, I'll like you.

Tommy: Yeah, it's an unconditional friendship, although there is one condition, you don't like me.

Josh: Yeah, I think that's fair.

Shannon: No, that's part of friendship, right?

Josh: What did you think, Ash, about the cutting off thing we talked about this morning? We talked about cutting friends up, just cutting people out. What do you think?

Shannon: Uh, I can swing both ways. I can be so brutal and just say to somebody, that was absolutely rubbish what you did, and now we're not friends. Get out of my face and off my body. Um, or I can also go to people and just fade them out. Um, If it's not as severe sort of situation, if it's just a distant, like, you know, sort of people growing apart and that's okay. I think that's fine. I think pretty cliché that the whole reason, season, lifetime. Some people are there for a short amount of time. Some people are there for a little bit longer than other people in your life forever. And I really try and adopt that where I can in my life because I just don't have time. That's the thing that I realise as I get older. I mean, I'm only 29, but I'm like, I just don't have time for like time wasters. Like I just need to be serious about the people that are in my life because life's too short and we all know that. And it's like, I just want to be surrounded by people that love me and support me and want the best for me. And if that's not you, then like, That's it. Like either fade away or, you know, if something shitty goes down, you just have the tough conversation and hit the nail on the head so everybody knows where they stand. And like, that's it.

Josh: That's how I go about it.

Tommy: Can we get an update, Josh? Josh, have you got a response from Ash Williams? You called him.

Shannon: Has anybody? Did you do 97? No.

Josh: Did you even message Sevs? I feel like you would have pussied out.

Mason: No, no, no, no. I did message.

Josh: It's the new you.

Mason: The thing is, he didn't reply to my previous text either, so it wasn't looking good to start with. Yeah.

Josh: But I like that— Yeah, go on, Tudge.

Tommy: Ignore the first one and then you never have to write back to another one because they're— It doesn't exist.

Josh: Now, I remember my mum saying, because a guy named Robert called my house once and we had caller ID. I loved caller ID. Did you, Shannon, when you were a kid, did you have caller ID?

Shannon: Absolutely.

Josh: It's so good. And so when we got caller ID, I remember Robert called me, but it was weird because when I answered it, uh, it was Lachlan's number, phone number. Anyway, I'm like, oh hey Robert. He's like, oh hey, how you going? Like, yeah good, what are you up to? He's like, oh not much. He's like, what do you think of Lachlan? I was like, hang on, I know what's going on here. Lachlan's on the other line and he's trying to get dirt.. And so, I hung up and I told Mum what happened. And then, they called back. That was a big mistake. They called back and Mum picked up and she says, she said, "If you want to be his friend, be his friend. Otherwise, stop calling." And so, I feel like that's a bit of a nice sort of storey for life, really.

Tommy: Why were they trying to catch you out? I hadn't thought about it in this way. Why did they think you were going to rag on Lachlan?

Josh: Well, because Lachlan and I had a love-hate relationship. He's the one who tried to make me fat by feeding me soft drink while he was drinking water at his house. And he and I were both chubby and he lost a bunch of weight.

Shannon: That's got real mean girl vibes where they feed her, Caddy feeds Regina George the protein bars, but they're like full fat.

Josh: Oh, it had, no, it definitely had. I was definitely his fat friend.

Tommy: Real Josh Janson and Tommy Jacket relationship. I fed you a whole packet of lollies in the car, and Mason was in on that too.

Josh: So yeah, no, it was good gear. If it's for content, it's fine.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, you might have been recording it, mate. Might have been. I once, um, back in the day, you used to be able to record on the old Nokias. You could record Conversations like, now you need another app, but back in the day it used to beep every 30 seconds. I think it was like a way that they were, you know, got around it by people knowing. And I was on this conversation with this guy and it's pretty heated. And he just halfway through, he said, what the fuck is that beep?

Shannon: What is it?

Tommy: He was so angry. I was like, mate, I don't know. I don't hear it. But I got exactly what I wanted.

Josh: Well, I had an issue before where I said to Siri, hey, call— I was trying to organise Jace Hawkins for the 24-hour stream. And so I told Siri, hey, call him. And the thing is, though, you can't hang up without touching your phone. Like, you can't tell Siri to turn it off. And so I was driving, it went to voicemail, and then a cop was next to me. And so I'm like, hey, mate, I can't actually touch my phone right now. It's JJ. But you can hang up. I'll finish this when I can, but hope you're having a good day. And it probably went for about 2 minutes.

Tommy: That's the best.

Josh: That's alright.

Tommy: Hopefully he listens to it. Anyway, I gotta go in. I'm at the front of my son's daycare and I've got to run in and get the little monster.

Josh: Alright, great. Any final words? Anyone? George, what's— any thoughts in your head?

George: No, not really. Um, thanks for those ideas, Shannon, because, uh, yeah, tomorrow is going to be the day I'm going to be putting together the weekend shows.

Shannon: Uh, I'll send some more through too. I was actually going through— funny, I was going through my Instagram highlights recently to look at some old baking stuff that I had and had done, and I actually found, uh, maybe a year ago I did a full day of just screenshotting the podcast that I usually listen to and putting them on my Insta storeys just because I always get heaps of friends asking me who do I listen to throughout the day. And I will have to send you a DM, Josh, of what I wrote about you guys. I can't even remember. I think it was just like, just two random guys talking absolute smack. I don't even know what they're on about, but it's fantastic. And this was like a year ago and it was so good.

Josh: I was like, wow. You always had Tommy's back. You're always getting the DMs if you thought I was being mean to me. Tummy. Do you remember that?

Shannon: Sometimes you need to know, JJ. Sometimes you need to know when you go in on people, because you go in on people.

Mason: You really do.

Josh: Yeah, but yeah, so you're—

Shannon: I love them both equally, but yeah.

Josh: Do you see— have you ever sent TJ a DM? Have you pulled up TJ yet?

Shannon: Um, no, because Mr. Perfect, maybe.

Tommy: I can't remember.

Shannon: He's pretty self-aware, Tommy, I think, especially the last— especially after the last year. I'm trying to think of times where you don't think I'm self-aware.

Josh: I'm fucking self-aware. I know.

Shannon: Yeah, you're self-aware. Yeah, I understand you are self-aware to an extent, but I think it's, uh, like a reflection thing for you. I think it's a reflection thing. Later on you go back and you're like, ah, Yes, maybe. But I think Tommy can do it very well in the moment. He's very good at diffusing situations. He loves that.

Tommy: We wouldn't have survived.

Josh: We wouldn't have had some good blow-ups. I wish we recorded. My favourite blow-up, very quickly before you go, was the one where, uh, we were having a yelling match out the front of a, um, there was a garage door And we didn't realise that on the other side of the garage door there was a whole office, like a— And a bunch of pets. And someone just banged on it and said, "Move on!" And it's very hard when you get told off by someone else when you're mid-argument. But very quickly, you'll love this, TJ. Sarah has just said in the comments, "Ash better call you or I'm cancelling my Patreon." And so, look, we don't want Ash to be losing money. We don't want him to be losing money. That's definitely not the plan. But Sarah, we've got to back that.

Mason: I think this morning Dr. K this morning said we should report Ash to the IRS.

Josh: I think the ATO.

Mason: Yeah, we could definitely.

Josh: I'm sure the ATO are across him, to be honest. I don't think like.

Shannon: Yeah, they have their number. They have his number, right?

Jess: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah, I think you have to, you have to make money to have to pay tax.

George: Alright.

Josh: Anyway, it's a daily talk show. Thank you, Shannon, for coming on the show. We're looking forward to the cocktails. We're going to get all around that. And good job, George, on the hump day. Thank you, everyone. We'll see you tomorrow at 11 AM. Is Crystal Andrews on in the morning?

Tommy: Yes, Crystal's on.

Josh: Crystal's on.

Tommy: Alright.

George: You got your date from me. Yes, I don't think there'll be a Hump Day next week just because, you know, the shows are going to be different this week.

Josh: Okay, no, that's fine. Yeah, well, it's going to be George or, um, it's gonna be me all week.

George: It's gonna be George from Saturday till Sunday.

Josh: So maybe we should do highlights the following week. We should do a Hump Day on you. Yeah, it's a— but it sounds like too much work. I'm already bored of it.

Tommy: So, um, all right, all right, love you guys.

Josh: Have a good one. Steli Talk Show. See ya.
