A Video A Day

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 726.

Tommy: What's happening, guys? What's going on? Happy Monday. Welcome Scooter Derek to the show, mate.

Derek: Hey guys, great to be here.

Josh: So happy it's Monday.

Tommy: I just had a vision hearing your voice that you, you've just, you've just put press pause because you've currently been, uh, reading an Audible— recording an Audible audiobook for a client, and now you've just jumped in here and you're feeling kind of like relaxed and, you know, still sexy voice.

Josh: Yeah, you do put on a bit of a sexy voice, don't you?

Derek: So long. Well, you get used to doing— like, you guys obviously do massive amounts of verbal content, right? And I'm used to sort of doing sort of one or two a week and stuff like that, but I haven't been doing any. So you get all this buildup, you know, all the thoughts. Yeah, yeah.

Tommy: Mason can relate. He's got a lot of buildup at the moment.

Josh: It's—

Tommy: there he is.

Josh: Oh, I miss that. I miss that. The cute little smile.

Tommy: Well, we haven't recorded an episode for over how long? 7? Days more. 8, 9, 9th day.

Josh: Yeah, like, yeah, like Seb's internet's a bit shit, by the way.

Tommy: It's as rusty as he is.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, that's okay.

Tommy: So we, we're gonna get fired back up though this week. Big week, back into it. How are you all feeling? Check in.

Josh: Uh, yeah, should we start off with it out of 100, starting with Seb? Seb, where are you sitting?

Unknown: Uh, probably 90.

Josh: Your internet's at a 60. Do you want to jump off and jump back in? I reckon that will help.

Unknown: Yeah, sure.

Josh: Yeah, thank you.

Tommy: Yeah, Derek, what are you at, mate, percentage-wise?

Derek: I reckon I'm, I'm at, uh, emotionally 80. Physically, uh, generally physically about 20. Not too bad. Lockdown spiritually, you know, you've got a It's like having Jack Russells, having kids in lockdown. Like, you have to walk them sort of thing. You just can't get by without it, or bedtimes and catastrophe. You've got to walk them, they go crazy.

Tommy: So they still even—

Derek: it's good for me.

Tommy: They're still even at that age, like, jumping off the walls at night. Like, aren't they sort of sane enough to just go into bed? And I don't care if you're just lying in bed with your eyes open, but get to your room. Or is it different?

Derek: I hate to break it to you, Tommy, but this shit's forever. It doesn't go away. It doesn't go away unless you frighten them and beat on them or something. I don't know. But they're nightmares. If you don't— if they don't exercise, they are in big trouble. Big trouble.

Tommy: I mean, you could take this because they just got so much like Whippet chat or Greyhound chat, like those dogs need to be walked. A lot per day. Actually, greyhounds, yeah, they sleep a lot. But yeah, anyway, dogs, you point around walking the dogs.

Josh: But what has been relaxed, Scooter, like from a rules perspective? If you were to throw out some rules with ISO, what are you sort of relaxing on? What can they do?

Derek: I reckon there's a little bit more screen time, but not a huge amount more. Um, Probably takeaway food is— yeah.

Josh: So what was the deal with takeaway before ISO? How often would you do sort of— would you do a Friday night fish and chips, or what sort of— what's the breakdown?

Derek: Yeah, there was no, there was no regular family kind of Tuesday night Red Rooster kind of thing or anything like that, but you had this sort of—

Tommy: thankfully, on board.

Derek: Yeah, I know.

Josh: Oh, Red Rooster's pretty good.

Derek: Since they had the bacon and maple waffle cones. But we'll get to that. The— or not.

Josh: No, we won't. We won't.

Tommy: We'll get to this.

Derek: Have an onboard sense that— yeah. Oh man, I've got a distillery storey for another time.

Josh: The—

Derek: yeah, you're basically— you're onboard automatic. Oh, we're doing this too much is is what controls it. Like, you know, but the kid— the kids now are going, what's for dinner? And they're kind of going, it's 50/50. Do we really gonna get pizza or whatever? It isn't 50/50, but it has that sort of—

Josh: and when would you push back? Like, what does it take for to sort of enable the take— takeaway option?

Derek: Just how broken if, if, if, if I'm super broken at the end of the day or Fiona's or— and Fiona isn't, then it could be takeaway. If Fiona's super broken at the end of the day, then it's definitely takeaway.

Josh: And is it fair to say that you're just hoping that Fiona's broken? Is that how it works?

Derek: No, because she's— it's awesome if she's— she's working from home. So she's literally doing her work in the kitchen, you know, the kitchen dining kind of thing.

Tommy: I remember there was a time Amy and I, before kids, we would have been, there was a period where we were at the supermarket every single night. Like just, it was the, you know, on the hunt, just looking for what are we cooking? Let's have like a new item. So do you think you cook less since having a kid? No, I cook way more, but spend a lot less time at the supermarket. So it was, it was more just like we had the time, we didn't have to worry. Like, you think more about you got to get the kid home, got to get into bed, you know, shower, whatever. But less time sort of scavenging at the supermarket. Think like it was just almost like a habit of time, time that we were wasting at 6 PM on a weekday, just like looking around the supermarket thinking, well, what are we going to get? I just was talking about that last week. We definitely cook more now and have everything prepped. So, because now I'm trying to avoid supermarket time with Bodhi because he's at that age where he'll run off, he'll touch everything, he'll get coronavirus for sure from the supermarket.

Josh: I just actually enabled 15% off with Uber Eats. So I had a 3-day stint, started it on Friday. So it's sort of and to sort of get as much value out of that as possible.

Tommy: Oh, on anything across the whole entire app?

Josh: On anything on Uber Eats, yeah.

Tommy: That is, is that with your—

Unknown: what are you at with your loyalty?

Josh: So I'm on gold at the moment but about to hit platinum.

Tommy: Yeah. What, um, what are you at percentage-wise, JJ? And you don't have to go spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically.

Josh: I mean, look, I reckon before, before the show, so if everyone got my WhatsApp, I would have been like at 100. I was feeling really good.

Tommy: Press send moment.

Josh: And then once like the tech side of things and I'm having to sort of talk to Scooter about his mic volume, it sort of does. And it's no problem on Scooter. This is just, this is standard, this is standard work stuff. And yeah, but that knocks me down. So, I'm probably, yeah, I'm about a 70 right now. But glad to be here.

Tommy: Syringe just sucking it out as the tech issues continue.

Josh: Did you, um, did you do much exercise, uh, on your week off, TJ?

Tommy: Oh, I reckon I did, um, I reckon I did a marathon, but not in one day. I definitely walked a fuckload. Really? Can you tell it a snapshot how many K's in a week you've done through your health app?

Josh: I don't think so.

Tommy: Is there a way of doing that? Show all health data. Anyway, I Yeah, it was— I averaged— oh, you can do average day, average step count, right, for a day. Um, so yeah, last week I— yeah, I reckon I got in at least sort of 8K a day, which was fucking great.

Josh: Where were you walking?

Tommy: And oh, it started off with just— had to drop the car off at the mechanics, which is 5K away, and I didn't have any other way of getting back. I didn't want to spend money on a cab. I was like, fuck it, I'll just walk it. Both ways, 10K total. So then another day I was just hitting another track, another track, you know, just sort of snowballed. I wasn't really trying, but in terms of— and I did a few pull-ups and shit like that at the park, but not, uh, not like, um, you've, you've paid for a PT, right? Haven't you?

Josh: So the thing is, so I did mention, um, like it was just a headline in our Trello. I said, um, boxing/PT. But no, I actually think, um, so, uh, Sebbs and I did a workout earlier in like last week, and I bought— brought, um, boxing gloves, uh, the boxing pads.

Tommy: Uh, yeah, do you own this stuff?

Josh: Yeah, yeah, I've got it all. And so, uh, we went to sort of a middle of a field, and Sebbs, is it fair to say that out of the two of us, I was leading. Like, I was sort of, you know, telling you to do push-ups and, okay, duck here, and all that stuff.

Unknown: Yeah, no, you were leading it, but I didn't— I didn't want to— I didn't want to go too hard, so I just— I just wanted to let you guide me.

Josh: You were fucked by the end of it though. You were— was I? Yeah, you were exhausted.

Tommy: Oh God, you both think— you both think that you were smashing each other. Sam's over here just like, mate, this is the easiest workout I've had. We did like Mason's I was fucked.

Josh: We did a cute little like, you know, 2-kilometer run around the oval. We did 3 laps, that was good. But no, I thought like, it doesn't take much to be a good PT, I feel, because I just sort of leaned into, okay, how is he feeling? He's not really, he's not panting, so I'm gonna like go harder. So it's like, no, you have to do another. There were times where I said, you gotta do another round. And you're like, what? No, I don't wanna do another round.

Tommy: Yeah, but he's good.

Josh: Yeah, but so I can't— No, but so I'm not a dobber, Derek. The reason— If anyone's a dobber, it's you. You're Derek the Dobber. But, um, if—

Tommy: No, but if you've got a fair few people, JJ.

Josh: Yeah, I definitely have. Um, no, but Sevs, you were just saying that it wasn't that hard, yet you were pushing back on the amount of rounds I was getting you to do. So would that not be an indicator that you're a bit exhausted?

Unknown: Well, it depends if you're thinking about it from an overall perspective or just that boxing round, because that boxing round was hard. But you got to also take into account the speed, like the difference in intensities that we were doing.

Josh: Well, we're doing intervals, so we would do the exercise and then sort of, we then would sit for half an hour.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Unknown: But we did do the run. We did do the run in between each interval and then the push-ups as well, but It was good, it was great.

Josh: And so you think I should have gone harder?

Unknown: Well, it's a great building block, like it's a great start. I think it's— you're not sore the day after and you felt great, so it's— you're ready to go next weekend.

Tommy: You weren't sore, Josh? Eating?

Josh: Nah, I worried that I didn't go to— I was actually sore 2 days later, which is sort of weird.

Tommy: Doms, doms.

Josh: Yeah, it was all on the Yeah, the arm, like the shoulders and stuff, I sort of felt it. But I think, Sev's, I like to think that when I normally surprise people when I go to the gym, i.e., the rower, I pride myself on being quite good at the rower. So when I get on there, people aren't expecting much because they've seen me do all the other shit, they've seen trying to do a push-up, and then I do okay. What did you think of me as a boxer?

Unknown: Oh, look, you've got great mental fortitude. Like, you can— if you set your mind to it, you'll push through it even though you look like you're gonna die. Like, you'll push through. And I mean, that's— I found that pretty impressive, to be honest.

Josh: Thank you.

Tommy: The— I mean, you, Josh, you said, um, you were watching Mason's sort of, uh, response to you about how hard he was exerting, and then you were sort of tight, you know, tailoring the the workout to that. That's a good— that's like what you learn when you're doing your PT course, I guess. But there is some people that— it's weird because they're not fit but they push themselves so fucking hard because you, you'd think they're dying but they just keep going. And so I don't know, some— but it's weird.

Josh: It's—

Tommy: it is, um, like I've seen— I've trained with Sez before and he doesn't really complain. He's quite sort of in his head about it all like he's getting it done. He's quite—

Unknown: Yeah.

Josh: Well, I remember being accused of a PT of— A PT accused me of only going to get a drink of water because I was trying to procrastinate and I didn't actually— Actually, I think it was you. I think you're like, "No, I don't need water. Just keep going." Because the fountain was quite far. So you'd sort of walk over.

Unknown: You don't need water.

Tommy: Oh yeah, yeah. It is such an excuse. So many people, it's like they think they're going to die if they're not going to have a sip of water. And it's definitely— It's definitely an excuse. So many people roll out, like it's just like the body's aversion to doing the thing that's causing the pain is like, walk this way, get drink of water, sit down. Like it's—

Josh: But that's it.

Unknown: But you don't need water your whole workout.

Josh: I know, but you also, Sev, for a guy who's pretty healthy, you have a disgustingly poor habit of not drinking water.

Unknown: That's okay. In general, I have enough water.

Tommy: In general or? Or at the workout?

Josh: No, just in general. He doesn't drink water. Have you ever seen him drink out of a bottle of water?

Tommy: This is true. I've never— I don't think you'd be the guy that would have a cup of water. Yeah, I haven't— So now that you say it, I literally knew he had a water bottle, but it was under his desk for so long. And then I was like, whose is this? He's like, I don't know. Oh, hang on, that might be mine. And so, what are you doing? Are you drinking water? How much water are you drinking a day, Seb?

Unknown: Uh, maybe 1 or 2 glasses max. Oh my God, it's okay because I'm getting, I'm getting all my liquid through my smoothie in the morning and then all the fruit that I'm having throughout the day. It's okay.

Josh: Like, how much fruit are you eating?

Unknown: Oh, maybe 4 outside of my smoothie, 3 to 4 pieces of fruit a day.

Josh: Really?

Unknown: Yeah, like an orange, an apple, a banana.

Tommy: Okay, so he's having a fair bit of water through, through his fruit and that shit. But have you— has this been a thing since you were a kid? Like, have you been told, yeah, Mason, you gotta drink more water?

Unknown: Yeah, I've never, I've never had water. Just like everyone, like throughout school and stuff, the only time I get water is like lunch and recess, and I just go to the drink tap and take a small drink.

Josh: But I feel like that's quite a D-grade player attitude, you know? Like, there's no point with like doing 5 AM wake-ups or even doing any form of exercise if you can't. Like, water's very basic.

Tommy: Well, are you— he isn't the guy that's also saying, oh, I hate the taste, so I'm gonna drink other stuff. Like, you're drinking juice and it's not—

Josh: he probably drinks more gin nowadays than he drinks water.

Tommy: How many glasses of gin did you have at Friday night drinks?

Unknown: I had 2 glasses.

Josh: Yeah, yeah. So was that what you were counting as, the water? Yeah, yeah, no, I did—

Unknown: I actually, my, my 2 glasses was after that. I had 2 glasses of water after that for the day.

Josh: So screw that. I mean, what's your drinking— what's your water habit like?

Derek: Well, I've been trying to drink as much water as possible, but I think I'm a bit— I'm born, uh, like Sev's. I just— it's not natural for me to drink tonnes of water. And I actually heard an expert— I can't say when, so let's take away the expert word— but I heard an expert saying, for God's sake, shut up about water. Like a health expert going, shut the fuck up about water all the time, right? If the body has an inbuilt trigger that lets you know when you need water, it's called thirst. Right. And they were going on and on. It was awesome. But what about it? About my—

Josh: but maybe you're confusing— like, I remember as a kid the doctors would tell me that I was confusing hunger and thirst. Like, Josh, you actually don't need a burger. You actually just— you haven't had a glass of water all day. Like, surely some people's triggers are just a bit off.

Derek: Yeah, exactly. But if Sevs is eating really healthily and drinking 2 glasses of water and eating all that fruit and that smoothie in the morning, then there's every chance his body is pretty tuned into what it needs, and there's every chance that he's getting enough water.

Josh: He gets a sore back though. I think that the reason he has a sore back is because he's not getting enough water.

Unknown: When do I get a sore back?

Josh: You've complained about your back multiple times.

Tommy: But that's doing something.

Unknown: No, that's sitting down. Working out fixes my sore back. Sitting down causes it.

Josh: I'm not complaining. I'm not saying that your working out's causing a back issue. What I'm saying is that The combination of sitting down and then not having all the water going through you, you know, I'm not a doctor, but I reckon that's—

Tommy: Derek, to your point though, that people do like mistake, mistaken thirst for other things. So I think that person, whoever said it, is way off. I think they're way off. I think, say, for someone who hasn't done it their whole life, it's like a pattern. And so Bode comes— I'm amazed at how often Bode says, I want water, I want water. They get trained at daycare because they're not allowed to just, you know, drink anything other than that or milk when it's milk time. But they— he's always looking for water, comes in every morning, water, water, water, has his little cup, sips it. It's a good habit.

Unknown: What do they do with lactose intolerant kids?

Tommy: I'm imagining they spin them. Oh no, they've got everything, mate. They've got— they have Was—

Unknown: how do they know? I guess the parent, right? The parent would tell them. This kid likes oats and toast.

Tommy: Like in the morning time, there's, um, like if they're having breakfast, they've got the selection. It was annoying when Bodhi got on, wanted soy milk because we didn't have soy milk. And then he was like, oh God, please no, just have the milk we've got, please.

Josh: He likes both.

Tommy: He can have whatever.

Josh: I was on Wellington Road. We're dropping off some flowers to our mums yesterday, which is probably not allowed, but we just sort of like, it's so fucking low level, we literally left them at the door. Yeah. Anyway, on Wellington Road, there's, is it Paul's Milk? Paul's, is that a brand?

Unknown: Yeah, yeah, that's the brand.

Tommy: So, when you see those out in Wonton or Rowville.

Josh: So, if you've got those big like cylinder things, is that, filled with milk cylinder, like the big silo things or whatever they're called.

Tommy: Oh, on the back, like the truck?

Josh: No, no, not on the truck, like out in the, like the actual industrial area. There's these big white cylinder thing, cylinder thing.

Unknown: Yeah, and it says sort of thing.

Josh: What happened? Bigger, like I'm talking like there would be enough milk for like a whole population. I feel like you would have a theory on this.

Derek: Yeah, yeah, that's, that's milk because they bring in the, the raw milk comes in from the farms and the, the dairy, that's called a dairy, they'll collect it and then I guess process it, you know, all the things that they do, turn it into, um, special extra vitamin milk or take—

Josh: Would they make chocolate milk in that? Like, I wonder if they're—

Derek: No, if there's any food factory Yeah.

Josh: I just love that idea of like, there's the strawberry one, here's the chocolate one, and the strawberry one doesn't need as much space.

Tommy: Mate, Willy Wonka is just—

Derek: Taps on the side and staff get to just have knockoff strawberry.

Tommy: I went to a bunch of milk farms in Shepparton when I was there. Milked a few cows, but they have like the big vats where they're heating it and spinning the milk.

Unknown: Pasteurising it and stuff.

Tommy: Pasteurizing, whatever that is. But yeah, it's, um, no, I've thought that I wanted the, you know, big thing of chocolate milk. It's like Willy Wonka, that scene where the little Augustus falls in drinking it. Oh yeah, get around that.

Josh: Yeah, I mean, the milk thing I find very interesting from you, Seb, is just the amount of milk. We don't have to get into it, but the amount of—

Unknown: no, it is a lot of milk. A lot of milk. I mean, my smoothie— uh, no, I went That's it, it's a bit dirty.

Josh: Yeah, you can shove.

Unknown: Oh no, it's, okay, this is the end of a smoothie container. That's so grotty. But anyway, so that's filled up to the brim with smoothie. So, that's probably like 700ml of milk in there or something like that that I'll have every day. And then mum and dad have coffees and Sam and James will drink milk as well. So, we probably go through probably a 3-litre bottle in a day or two.

Josh: How long has that been there, like sitting there? Is that just from the morning?

Unknown: That's really— yeah, that's from this morning. It's been there for 2 hours now.

Josh: Okay, seems like a while. On the water thing, TJ, I thought, um, yeah, uh, yeah, definitely have a sip. I mean, sparkling water, we're going through a big cylinder for the SodaStream every single week. Um, but one of my New Year's resolutions, or one of the things that I was keeping track of, was my water consumption. And so I thought, given we're getting close to the middle of the year with ISO and everything that's happened, I feel that maybe things like New Year's resolutions have gone out the window. How about we do a little bit of an audit about around what we were planning to do and where we're currently sitting at it?

Tommy: With it all, are you kicking off? Because I'm going to just have a look in my diary here because I got this one at the start of the year. Hopefully I've got New Year's resolutions in it or things.

Josh: I mean, Scoot, Scoot, what was your, um, what was your New Year's resolutions?

Derek: Well, I reckon my resolutions just come and are coming along naturally with the, with the, my business development plan. Um, so it's just—

Josh: it's giving us a very official answer. You sound like clients are listening. Just relax.

Derek: Peter Sheppard's in the group. Just—

Josh: you don't need to spin some bullshit.

Derek: I didn't have any— I didn't have any personal ones. All right, this year, this year was just gonna head down, no time wasting. So there's no time for online time wasting. That's my big one.

Tommy: I didn't say that.

Josh: The 24-hour commitment crew, where does that fit in with no time wasting?

Derek: There's something that's always been going on ever since probably the mid-'90s, and it's probably even before it was officially recognized. It's called the Things We Don't Normally Do Club.

Josh: Okay, okay, sure.

Derek: To always do— if you get a chance to do something you don't normally do, get in and do it, or you're an idiot. Right. That's my theory. And the 24-hour thing, most definitely. I mean, my wife knows that if something weird comes up, I'm going to say, I want to do that.

Josh: I mean, could you not do that though with the Uber Eats menu and say, I've got it like, fuck, we haven't had Thai from this place before. Fiona, maybe we, you know, things we never do.

Derek: Yeah, that's, that's too lame.

Josh: So there is a, there is a system of deciding. So What's another example outside of the 24-hour stream of something that you've done this year that might not necessarily align with your New Year's resolutions but fits under the '90s protocol of, you know, doing things you never do club?

Derek: Okay. Oh, that's tricky. When you get to this age, you start doing things that you have done before, but you would never do at 55 or whatever I am. I put in— I put gold earrings.

Josh: I'm wearing—

Derek: oh nice, I'm wearing gold earrings today.

Josh: And this is after sort of retiring from the scooter community. Don't you think that's a bit backwards? You put the earrings in before, before that, or is this a bit of an ode to scooters?

Derek: It's a— no, it's not connected to scooters in any way. In fact, scooter riders or mods or whatever, you know, the traditional, they wouldn't have a bar of earrings. I had earrings like exactly the same as this in the, in the '80s. And it was defiantly— it used to be if you wore a left earring, it meant you were like tough or just a contemporary cool guy doing something cool, right? But if you wore it in your right ear, it meant you were gay. That was the, that was the word on the street, right? So, you know, Elton John and George Michael had two, and Elton John had a right-hand earring. And it was this symbolism. Them. And I, I couldn't stand that as a notion. I thought it was ridiculous. So the first thing I did was pierce my right ear and my left and, and wore two earrings, which was pretty unusual at the time. So I found—

Tommy: Josh and I have both got ours.

Josh: Yeah, we've got the—

Tommy: we've both got ours, but we haven't— I, I don't know if I could push mine through. Did you need to push it back through, Des?

Derek: I did. Well, I I pulled, I pulled my old earrings out of my box. I was showing my kids all my knickknacks from the olden days. I said, look, I used to have earrings and it went straight in. It was about 2 years ago and it just went straight through. And so I wore that for a while, then I lost it pretty quickly. So I was disappointed because I kept it. It was gold and I'd kept it for many decades. So finally my wife said, oh, put that pirate earring. She really wanted me to wear the golden earrings. She's odd like that. And so she said, for your birthday, I'm going to buy you some fancy golden pirate earrings. But she didn't. She bought me some $2 Kleins ones and said, that's a symbol, that's like a voucher, because we'll get to— and, and I was bucking around with, with the kids looking on, uh, OzSale or one of those type of things. What's the other one? I was—

Unknown: anyway, I was bargaining.

Josh: Oh, you mean Wish.com?

Derek: But there was golden earrings and it said solid gold and everything. I went, gee, that's really cheap for solid gold. And I ordered some and that was months ago. And the postman arrived today and gave me an envelope. I said, what's this? Is it like a little tech thing? And I opened it. I said, you're buying me jewellery now, postman. What's next, a cocktail? He went, oh, you know our postman, he's a funny guy.

Tommy: Oh, canny, canny. Kanye. Kanye.

Derek: No, no, he's the box. He brings the big cool toys. The normal postman.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Okay.

Derek: The one day he had a green— he had green hair. He goes, look at this. He's got green hair. Oh, I said, why have you got green hair? He says, because the Comic-Con is on in 2 months. I said, why?

Josh: Why?

Derek: Why are you doing it now? He said, because, because I'm going as that particular Joker from a particular film and I need to do it now and I want the regrowth to be perfect. So he actually made it out. He's amazing.

Tommy: That guy's up and about.

Josh: He's awake and about.

Derek: Yeah, he's great. So the cheap ones to cut a long story. Well, it's too late. Sorry, long.

Josh: But, but where did the distillery come in, Scoot?

Derek: And it got jammed in and I had to just, I had to just go and push a new hole through the back. Oh, so it kind of hurts.

Tommy: I just think you're on that, guys. Um, it's a, it's a first that I'm sure 97 hasn't done, and that's how— get it, get an earring or get some kind of piercing. Would you at some point ever get a piercing, Seb?

Unknown: Uh, probably not. No.

Tommy: Great, I'm glad it wasn't your actual answer that would change what whether we do it or not. So it's, um, it's a yes.

Josh: So do it. Yeah, it's a yes from me, and it's a yes from Scooter, I'm sure.

Tommy: Um, where would you get an earring? Just quickly, Sevs, where would you get it?

Josh: A piercing.

Tommy: I mean, a piercing. Yeah, sorry, not an earring, a piercing.

Unknown: Uh, I'd probably be ear. I don't know where else you'd get it. I'd probably have to be left or right. Just whatever, it doesn't bother me.

Josh: Both. I mean, I don't get the scoot. I sort of don't get the pushback, to be honest, around that. Like, if, if the gay community is trying to do something, like you sort of leaning into, I'm going to do the right, aren't you just confusing the situation? Like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or, or was it something created by—

Derek: it was— I just felt that it was just a rumour and a stupid thing just because Elton John had a right. I don't know, I never really did the research. I just couldn't stand the whole idea of not being able to hear anything.

Josh: I mean, how far do you go with it though, I guess? Just to prove a point.

Derek: Yeah, well, you're 17 and you stick a hole in your ear. It's just what happened.

Tommy: Yeah, there's also bananas hanging over your trolley at the supermarket means that you're up for it. You're single, you're available. Have you heard those things? Have you heard this, Scoot?

Derek: I've heard a few of those different ones, but they chop and change. I haven't heard the banana one. I'll try that one.

Josh: Yeah, well, so you would sort of— how would you hang it off?

Tommy: I don't know, you'd like get the fingers, spread them apart and lock it down. I don't know, does it work for a basket as well?

Josh: Could you do it with a basket, or do you have to use a trolley?

Tommy: I'd just be— I'd look at it and go, fuck, this guy's bananas are about to fall out. I'd tell him, mate, your bananas are about to fall out. You're all right.

Josh: I like the idea of us having something great. I feel like it'd be fun to have secret sort of, like a code that the Gronks have that we put little secret messages based on what we do. Like, what are some little things that we could do that could mean something to fellow Gronks?

Tommy: I mean, other than a tattoo or a, what do you call it? A squeegee keyring for the cult, which, you know, if you ever saw one of those out in the wild, you'd know where it's from. But yeah, what are they? Like a certain haircut? I mean, this is where you like think about what you do at school when you're young and your mates would have rat tails. And yeah, I don't know if you guys know what that was.

Josh: I never had a rat tail.

Tommy: Rat tails, fringes. I don't know. It's just like some sort of gang sign. You're saying we want gang colors? No, well, we need—

Josh: I think there could be some real subtle things. That we could do that would sort of—

Tommy: yeah, the wristband.

Unknown: Oh, these are literally the wristbands.

Tommy: Yeah, this one.

Josh: Oh, the wristies are great.

Unknown: Wristies are great.

Tommy: Yeah, these are great. Derek, have you got a wristband?

Derek: Where do you get those from?

Tommy: No, you got one?

Josh: No, you don't have one? They were at the, uh, the event that you did the tech for, remember? The F500?

Derek: Uh, oh yeah, I don't know if I've got one.

Josh: Okay, well, we need to sort— we still need to sort you out with a t-shirt for helping Um, so on the, um, I've just got my New Year's resolutions here.

Tommy: Oh, so you got them on an app? Yeah, just pulled your phone up.

Unknown: Well, so this is Streaks, isn't it?

Josh: Yeah, so I decided to use Streaks to put all the different, um, the different things that I wanted to do. And so drink 2.5 litres of water, that's one of them. Yeah, um, Streaks is great, like it's very, uh It feels good. Like, if when you press the— when you press it, you can like hold it down and it, it does like a little plus. It feels really good.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Um, anyway, the— so I had, uh, drink 2.5 litres of water, read more than 15 minutes, meditate, work out for 45 minutes, walk 10,000 steps, out of bed Before 6.

Unknown: And these are all daily.

Tommy: I mean, yeah. Yeah, because the streaks are day, like what's your daily streak? Is that the idea?

Josh: I have a feeling, to be honest, that the workout for 45 minutes I might have done is like you just have to do it once every 2 days because you can set up sort of parameters like that. And so, it keeps the streaks going. And so, it will tell you, it has like a little number of how many days in a row. But I haven't been using the app. And so, it's a bit of an audit today. Where I think like, let's just pretend like it's January 1st, let's get into it all, let's sort out the shit. What does it look like for you?

Tommy: Or what is the— what's the learnings been just from not doing them? If you haven't streaked them, like what in terms of giving yourself the advice to make sure you nail them each day?

Josh: You just have to do them.

Tommy: I think you do the water, you do the water thing quite often.

Josh: Yeah, I do the water thing, but I didn't press it. But what's the I don't know if there's any pushback. I think I could do— I think that the 10,000 steps easy, I could do that. But I haven't been doing it. Like, I reckon I've been averaging like 500.

Tommy: Oh my God, yeah, I mean, steps count from our 24-hour app. It was like 500 for the day. Didn't move much at all. Um, yeah, horrible.

Josh: And so, you know, I think that they can all They can all basically stay. The 45-minute, like, remember the dancing? Remember when I used to dance?

Tommy: Oh yeah, that was fucking sick. That was great. People got around that hard. Um, so I just— I— this is in my book. I'm pulling out my app, which is my Moleskine. Uh, I didn't put— I, I only did like— see, it's too broad. I did focus slash need to improve, and then I wrote family, which is so broad, finances Very broad. Marriage, you know, quite specific. Life outside of show. Greeting. Greetings?

Josh: Handshake, hug. I didn't realise it was such an issue.

Tommy: That is weird. What is this greeting solo? What is that?

Josh: I think that's like going out and having meetings with people without me.

Tommy: Sorry, that was a C. It's not greetings. Creating.

Josh: Creating. Got it.

Tommy: Got it.

Josh: Transitioning from show. Yeah.

Unknown: Yeah.

Tommy: Yeah. Leave the daily talk show on the 11th of May. What, what's the date? 11th. Um, open up to Amos more, keep house clean, more support for Amy, present around others. See, I mean, the problem with that now is they're, they're way too, way too broad. Yeah, way too broad. So you can't really tick them off every day, can you? Absolutely not. I mean It needs to be some sort of action around family, you know, like, uh, have a family cuddle each day. I mean, get pretty close to it every morning, bit of a snuggle in bed. Um, finances. Nah, yeah, anyway, um, so there's a few things that, yeah, I mean, for me it's the, um, like, I think it needs to be— I mean, we're in a good— if I feel sort of thrown off without doing the show, it's like some weird pattern that's been disrupted. You even— I think you could probably hear it in, in the voice. Like, say, Sebs is asleep unless he's— um, I know he's there, he's there. I thought he was— there he is, big cute smile and laugh. Um, but I mean, not to sort of— to go on that, there's a few things around the exercise, the meditation shit that I want to sort of keep, keep at. But I, I've got a, I've got a, um, I've got a big announcement which kind of relates to something from this.

Josh: Really?

Tommy: Uh, yeah, okay.

Josh: I mean, we'll go for it.

Tommy: Yeah, well, uh, put it in the calendar. Um, JJ, uh, Sevs, I've decided to release a video every single day, every weekday that is, like the good old days of the Daily Talk Show, onto the Daily Talk Show's Instagram or Facebook. It doesn't matter where it goes. But I want to create a video every single day.

Josh: Good announcement.

Tommy: Good announcement.

Josh: That's great. How does it feel? Derek's—

Tommy: ah, I mean, I know why you do the announcements because there's like all this lead-up time. You're like, fuck, pretty pumped for making the announcement, pumped for the idea, um, but there's more to it. So the, the whole reason is, and it probably comes down to the It's not even creating solo, but it's just creating in general. Because I think what we do with this show is create every day. But then there's the false sense that you're creating because it just has become so normal, right? So it's like you then start feeling like you're not creating, but you are doing the show.

Josh: Well, it becomes the normal, doesn't it? It's like, is sending an email— if you send emails, is that writing? Can you really count that? Like, if you want to write, it's like, I want to write 2,000 words. Can you look at your email and be like, "I do 2,000 words"?

Tommy: Well, maybe it's like the habit's been formed and then it'd be additional outside because we have now dropped the one show a day. It's like there is a bunch of time there.

Josh: It feels like a piece of piss now, doesn't it? Like doing the two shows was a good reset because it's like, "Oh, look." It's like we've been running 20Ks a day and we're like, "Now we're gonna do 10." Yeah.

Tommy: Sure, sure. It might have brought on some depression finished after the 24-hour episode, but you know, so what?

Josh: So what? That's life, you know, that's the dip.

Tommy: That is life. But I think the trap for me has been thinking myself out of doing. And so the whole purpose around creating a video that is like a vlog that will include you guys in it at times and might just be while we're in isolation at my house. It's— so here's the idea, Josh. I want to run it. I just want to tell you, I was going to say—

Josh: You don't run it past me. You don't have to ask. No, no, no. Goes pear-shaped.

Tommy: So each week there's a theme or a phrase or a saying that then curates what the creative becomes. So for this week, the theme—

Josh: I've got a theme idea already.

Tommy: Okay, no, no, you will be able to pick a theme in the future, but for the next 2 weeks, I kind of want to— maybe even one, maybe next week you could pick the theme. Spice it up a bit.

Josh: Can I give a phrase idea? And I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it.

Tommy: Okay, after— not after— no, this week's theme is action. And so it's about actioning the to-do list that I've had. And so I've been making a video today which will come out tonight. And, um, and yeah, I think you'll like it. I think you'll like it.

Josh: Oh great. Does it involve— I could imagine you— when I think of solo creation at home, I just imagine you with A green screen and heaps of props. Are there any— is there any props involved? And is there a green screen?

Tommy: Oh, I am wearing a prop. This is from the video.

Josh: Oh, great. This t-shirt.

Tommy: Hang on, hang on.

Josh: What does it say? Oh my God, it's Tommy Jacket. That's obnoxiously great. I love it.

Tommy: I was given this t-shirt when I was 18 for my 18th birthday from Rhys Mitchell. And it's a phrase, "Oh my God, it's Tommy Jacket," is a phrase that, because we used to catch the train to school every day, Rhys got on the train. I think he was with his brothers. And these girls are on the train. They're like, they must have seen me and said, "Oh my God, it's Tommy Jacket." And then they just kept on saying it was the, you know, it's the phrase that was always used. "Oh my God, it's Tommy Jacket," when I'd walk into the room. And so they got it printed onto a t-shirt. Um, but today's video is about culling my t-shirts because I have way too many. I have way too many. And I thought the problem was that I had too many coat— I didn't have enough coat hangers. And so I was like, I need more coat hangers. But if I get more coat hangers, that means I can put more t-shirts on them. The problem isn't, isn't how many t-shirts I have. I've got too many.

Josh: Well, that was the pushback that I had with, um, uh, Bree. I wanted to have wooden coat hangers. And she said the problem with wooden coat hangers is they take up too much space. You can't fit many. I'm like, that's the whole point. If I have wooden, like those wiry shitty ones, like when I was growing up, you'd have the ones that like would come free if you like got your dry cleaning done or things like that.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Josh: You know, the nice, just the IKEA ones, they're still cheap, but being able to have that consistency.

Tommy: I've got plastic ones, which are great. They work for t-shirts. They'd probably ruin a suit or a shirt, definitely. But for the t-shirts, it's fine. Um, a quick question though. How many t-shirts do you think you need to have, or you should have?

Derek: 12.

Unknown: Okay, Seb, how many is this including shirts? Are we, are we just talking about 25 t-shirts?

Tommy: Hang on, uh, Seb, what's your answer?

Unknown: Yeah, I think 12 is a great amount.

Tommy: Yeah. And Scooter Derek?

Derek: 25, because I think everyone should have 10 black t-shirts of random, just as— well, maybe not everyone, maybe just me, right? So, so every day I put on a black t-shirt and every day it's different, right? So then you know whether, whether you've been wearing it or not the day before, off when you pick it up off the floor, right? So you need a range of just black t-shirts And then you need the old one from a gig from the '80s that you had. So you've got the, the memory t-shirt. So let's say there's only 8 or 9 of those. Yeah, the memory t-shirts, the Pink Floyd tour or all that kind of thing that you don't wear so that you can put them in a suction bag and hide them somewhere. Who cares?

Josh: You shouldn't have to worry about a suction. I think as soon as you're involving a suction bag, you've gone too far.

Tommy: From Dennerle's direct.

Derek: They work really well.

Josh: There's actually one, yeah, I remember, um, after the world trip, the first one with Naysan, we got these, um, uh, ones where you wouldn't use a vacuum, it was self-sucking, hashtag self-sucking. But no, you push it, you would push it down and it would reduce all— yeah, yeah, it was so good.

Tommy: That's, that is a good idea. But I mean, that's probably travel purposes, right? You're not needing that at home, because how often are you then going to open up the sucked bag to get out your t-shirt that you want to wear?

Josh: Maybe summer, winter. Maybe like I've seen some people do, like, I'm going to suck up my winter stuff and then through summer and then bring it back out.

Tommy: I mean, I don't know about this.

Derek: A couple of weeks back, what was in it?

Tommy: How old was the suck bag?

Derek: It was— it had been there for a long time, and in there was my, um fluorescent clown kilt to wear, to wear for Friday night drinking. So I could tell it was in there because it was clear. I went, oh, it's in there. And I opened the suck bag and everything was fresh, ready to wrap it up.

Josh: How did you wash them before you put it in the suck bag then?

Derek: Well, why would you wash a clown kilt?

Tommy: Like, yeah, why would you have a clown kilt, to be honest? That's, I mean, that's the question you're asking yourself at this point. Before you're thinking about whether you washed it or not. It's actually crazy. Um, so I've got 20— I've got 20 t-shirts, this being one of them. This is— but it's, it's, yeah, it's a problem for my cupboard. And it's— the reality is this is a nearly— this year, 14-year-old t-shirt that I reckon I've worn maybe once before. Then I washed it and it faded, and that pissed me off so much, but I didn't want to throw it away because it was such a lovely present. From my best mate. So I did speak to Reece about it because I was feeling a bit sort of guilty, like, mate, I don't want to throw this out, it's too old. It's almost like, you know, I think it's the trap of what Derek's saying. You've got something, you're like, nah, it's, it's all, it's, you know, ornamental, or it's, you know, sentimental, sentimental. And then you're like, I'll keep it. Next minute, it's 14 years later and you've still got this t-shirt. So Reece said, uh, yes, I'm allowed to get rid of it. But he did say you should give it away and we should give it away to one of the Gronks if anyone wants it. So does any Gronk— does any Gronk want a 14-year-old t-shirt that was custom made by Reece Mitchell for Tommy Jackett?

Josh: Will you sign it?

Tommy: Let us know. Yeah, Reece said I have to sign it.

Josh: Oh great.

Tommy: He said I have to sign it, so maybe just like a little signature, nothing too much.

Josh: Okay, just, yeah, something. I mean, you also had that, um, what was the old t-shirt? Was it The Offspring, or what was the band t-shirt that you had at the office the other day? This is months ago.

Unknown: That was just the one where Harry was here.

Tommy: Yeah, you know who was hoarding that for me? That was my mother, and that was from when I was 12, so that's, that's a lot older. No way, that smell. I mean that smelt like a mothball.

Josh: Yeah, that's gross.

Tommy: Disgusting. Anyway, so that's what I'm doing. Video a day. This week's theme is action, and specifically it's around nailing a to-do list of things that I've been thinking about.

Josh: I'm not going to accuse you of anything, but it sounds a lot like Organized August.

Tommy: No, because it's only 5 days. It's only 5 days, and it's like one thing per day, pretty much.

Josh: And sorry, you mentioned that because I'm pretty sure you wanted me to call Organised August sort of Action August. Is it?

Tommy: Definitely not. Definitely not.

Josh: Have you been this year, you know, you deciding I'm going to do this thing, it's— I'm doing something solo. Have you been rattled since August about my approach and you've been sort of pissed off about the whole thing?

Tommy: Absolutely not. I hadn't thought about Organised August because I've been thinking about Action May.

Josh: I get it. First week. Does it work?

Tommy: No. No, but I hadn't.

Josh: I hadn't.

Tommy: I didn't even think about the Organised August. But I mean, we haven't got to August yet, so you could definitely rebring that back up. Well, that'd be good.

Josh: I've been working on a little bit of admin. And so, like, what I was thinking is it would be great for us to, at the start, an end of the show, I thought it'd be fun for us to give the Gronks some admin to do. First thoughts?

Tommy: Oh good, um, everybody hates admin, but I mean, why not?

Unknown: I mean, how much is it? Like, how is it?

Josh: How much is that? How much admin? Well, it's not too much. So what I've done is I've put together, um, initially I was thinking they could be dynamically inserted into episodes. It turns out that tech isn't enabled for our account yet. That's like a, um, a different one, so we can't do that. Enterprise. Yeah, but, uh, so I've created 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, uh, 10-second pieces of audio. I want to run through them now, and then I just want to get feedback on the creative, how often we should put these out, and then how many should I create, like if I have a pool of them. So Here is the first in a new series that will be on every single day at some point. 10 seconds of admin. Have you got Instagram? Ah, perfect. Go and give us a follow and then share on Insta Stories that you're listening. It will help.

Derek: Thanks.

Josh: So, that was the first one. So, I'll just play all 5 and then we'll get your feedback, okay? This is the second one. Alright. 10 seconds of admin. Have you sent us an email before? Would love it if you did. What's on your mind? Just email us, gronks@thedailytalkshow.com. Com.

Unknown: Okay, 3.

Josh: 10 seconds of admin. Have you given us a review on Apple Podcasts? Would really appreciate it. And just go and click that subscribe button as well, I guess. 4. 10 seconds of admin. Did you know you can actually subscribe? It's a podcast, you can do it. And also give us a review at Apple Podcasts. Thank you. Is that one? Then this is the final 10 seconds of admin. Take a screen grab right now of you listening to the show post it on Instagram as a storey and we'll regram it. What a deal!

Tommy: That's a 5. Yeah, I mean, it's a great deal.

Josh: What do you think? What do you think? Definitely 10 seconds of admin.

Tommy: I love it. 10 seconds of admin. It should be— I mean, you could do it right now in 10 seconds.

Josh: And so what's the, um, if you had some, some feedback or sort of, I'm happy to change the copy But that was my Sunday. I sort of went through and just made sure you got a smile. 10 seconds of that. I'll do a live one for you. 10 seconds of admin. Have you got Facebook? Well, why don't you go and give The Daily Talk Show a like? Just go to Facebook, type in The Daily Talk Show, and hit that like button.

Tommy: It doesn't have the same cut-through. See, the thing is, I didn't feel— when I did the, uh, put it in the calendar only 5 minutes ago I was expecting to feel like what I feel when I see you do it in the hump day replay, but George has put music over it and then it's like upbeat. It's all in that sort of music jingle that you got and the sort of—

Unknown: It is great.

Tommy: Echoed it a bit, like it's perfect. Yeah, I think you got a bit of reverb.

Josh: No, I just added a bit of stuff, just made it feel more authoritative. But it's great. Scooter, what do you think? You're a creative guy.

Derek: Well, I like it. I mean, I think you've underquoted the time, 10 seconds to say it, but it might take a little bit longer to do, maybe 20 to 25 seconds. Just not split hairs or anything.

Tommy: But were you killing two birds, one stone? You were doing a 10-second recording.

Josh: 10 seconds of admin for me.

Tommy: For you. I love that. But it's kind of solved the other—

Josh: because we haven't been doing it. We never do the, like, we always forget all these things.

Tommy: All right, hang on, let me just do this. I'm going to give Shameless a quick review. Can you count? Start counting.

Josh: Start counting. 1, 2, 3. Can you keep counting, Seb?

Tommy: Okay, here we go.

Derek: Oh God, hang on.

Tommy: Shit, I'm in there. There's too many episodes for them. I had to go down to the bottom.

Josh: You gotta scroll up.

Tommy: Right. Oh God, now it's not loading on my end. Title, love the show. How long we at?

Unknown: 20.

Tommy: You girls rock. Is that good enough? You girls rock, 5 stars, send. Done.

Josh: Probably under— I feel like you should have gone more thoughtful, to be honest. They're coming on the show tomorrow.

Tommy: I did, mate. I was under the pump. I was under the pump.

Unknown: That was— so that was—

Tommy: sorry, I was just gonna say they've got 6,930. I don't know if it's gonna really impact them. It was 5 stars too. So how long?

Unknown: 30 seconds? 27 seconds.

Tommy: Yeah. Okay, well, I don't think we're going to get done on false advertising because it is kind of truthful that it took— that they are tense.

Unknown: Well, the Hot Accountant reckons that we will get done for false advertising.

Josh: Oh Jesus, that's in— that's in the YouTube chat. I said would bring YouTube chat at the end and I'm pissed off about it. Service bringing shit in halfway through the show. You're confusing the podcasters. No, I'm pissed off. So hang on, what, what, uh, people have been writing the whole time, we haven't read out one. Why do you read that one out? Seriously?

Unknown: Just, no, it was just because it was Tommy mentioned false advertising and I just, and I just don't appreciate that either, TJ, because you're pointing out to—

Josh: you read the chat when you said the false advertising, didn't you?

Tommy: Um, no, I didn't, I swear.

Josh: Really?

Tommy: The thing is, when So, you sent an email.

Unknown: Mate, you're the one who read the chat when you asked how long has my cup been there for.

Josh: You did, didn't you? Yeah, I did.

Tommy: Oh, God, I've missed this. God, I've missed this.

Josh: So, it's a bit of a reset. And so, we just, we wanna keep the, we wanna contain some stuff. So, I did get, there was a couple of people that were like, oh, with the podcast, sometimes we get lost if you're going too much into the YouTube chat. And so it's like, okay, well, let's contain it. We can do it at the end. We can like play El Monte, the track, and spend a few minutes after the show reading and all that sort of thing.

Tommy: I absolutely love that. But know that we're looking at it, or at least holding it back. No, we're not.

Josh: That's the whole point.

Tommy: We're not. Oh, well, you guys are. I haven't. I've just seen it coming through. But at least Seb's is. Let's just throw it, throw him under the bus. Seb's is looking at it, primed for us to get back to you. Questions.

Josh: Yeah, so Sez will do that.

Tommy: We love—

Josh: I have a lot of talking about it.

Tommy: I think we can roll it out. I'm willing to, I'm willing to, I'm— I'll go through the lawsuit if you roll them out. It's hap— I'm happy to, happy to.

Josh: The rollout what?

Tommy: Which rolling out the 10 seconds of admin. Okay, no, even if someone tries to say that you— it was 45.

Josh: No, no, it was 10 seconds for me, but I've got, um, I don't know if you can call it admin But excitingly, it is Bree's 30th birthday tomorrow.

Tommy: Is it? Far out.

Josh: Yeah, 12th of May, put it in the calendar, it's Bree's birthday. And so, uh, I want to be a big announcement.

Tommy: A lot of big announcements this, this week on the show.

Josh: And so the thing is, I do want to, um, I want to become the guy that his actions meet his thoughtful nature. So I'm a thoughtful guy, but I always just leave everything to the last minute and put myself in this corner. And so—

Tommy: Thoughtful, thoughtful. If you're a thoughtful guy, what does that mean? I just need to, we just need to unpack that slightly.

Josh: I'm thinking, I'm not just thinking about me, I'm thinking about you.

Tommy: Are you thinking about the nice things that you wanna do for, say, Bree or for me?

Josh: But then that's the thing, it's like, so it's back to—

Tommy: is it back to actioning your thoughtfulness? Because I agree with you, I think, I think you're spot on.

Josh: Like, are there heaps of thoughtful things? It's like, oh fuck, like, oh, this person, like, we should definitely do something nice for them. But sometimes the action doesn't get done.

Tommy: But I mean, you do a bit, you do.

Josh: Yeah, like sometimes most—

Tommy: more than—

Josh: there was a really good one the other day. Oh. What about, we never, remember we spoke to the lovely person at Tactics at KISS and she said she was doing keto and she was really helpful, Sev, and I said, let's get her a keto pack. Did we ever send that?

Unknown: No, we didn't send that.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: Did we ever, he throws it over to you like it was your thing.

Josh: Well, I know, I literally, I said, hey, this is something that would be really cool to do 'cause she was so generous.

Tommy: I think the thing is though, you're talking about, You can't outsource your thoughtfulness. It has to be you. You can, but I think what you're saying is you want, you want to be the, you want the thoughtfulness to be action from you.

Josh: It's the organizing. It's, it's the whole thing of like, um, like on Friday was really when I got into the mode of, okay, Bree's birthday is Tuesday, I need to get everything sorted. Very hard to get things internationally shipped, printed, like it's just you're sort of in a bit of a pickle, you know.

Tommy: And so, and it's corona time too.

Josh: It's, it's— and so then it becomes—

Derek: what about going for a great big walk, Josh? Like, pick something that's really awkward to get and go and get it. Like putting yourself out physically.

Josh: Yeah, I can do that, to be honest. To go out, like, counts. I think that Bree will be impressed. Like, if I have to leave the house to do anything, I've won. Like the thoughtfulness, because I haven't gone out for anything. And so, I have worked that out, but I am thinking it's like from like 2 o'clock until 4, I've got to be like out of the house and doing all of these bits and pieces. And then I went into— Today. Today, yes.

Unknown: Okay.

Josh: Do you need me?

Unknown: No, no, it should be all good. It should be all right.

Josh: Okay. And so, yeah, so I mean, I just feel like it would have been There's heaps of things that I would like to do and I'm, yeah, I'm just, I don't know, I don't really have anything to add there, but it's going to be a busy afternoon of doing stuff. I don't even know if it comes under essential, whether I'm going to be able to like go and get some of these things.

Unknown: You're fine. It's literally, I went to the—

Tommy: Essential.

Unknown: Did you go to the mall? I went to the, I went to Westfield. It's an absolute nightmare. Like, so I went on Yeah, I went on Saturday. All the social distancing, all the restrictions, it doesn't apply at Westfield. It's outrageous.

Tommy: Like, people are just— it's maybe because every year they have the same idea that Saturday is the day I'll go, like you, and then there's like no option when you've got 4,000 people at a shopping centre to stay 1.5 metres away. Yeah, I was talking about that. They're like, how do you— so how do you in— how do you do social distancing when there's too many people in one location? They need security people buzzing in the number, like how much floor space have we had, do we have, and how many people can fit in there within 1.5 metres of each other. It seems silly, but dude, I've been breaking the rules. I went to Mum and Dad's place on Saturday, got in before. I had the best day, it was so lovely. But I mean, they're reducing, they're removing that tomorrow. So it's, you've got, you're going today, right? I think you'll be fine.

Josh: Yeah, I'm gonna go and do all this stuff tonight.

Tommy: Just take the camera in your hand and say, I'm making a video. I've got a production company.

Josh: Well, the other thing, um, that I did— fuck, I probably need to do that too. And then we'll get to your flowers, Sam, because I'm interested in that. But the, um, which is sort of related to this, but no, I want to, um, I was thinking our cake— it'd be great to get a cake. Um, and so I was like, oh, I've already told Bree about the cake idea because I thought it was so good. Um, I got pushed an Insta storey and the cheesecake shop is doing delivery.

Tommy: Cheesecake Factory?

Josh: Cheesecake shop.

Tommy: That's good.

Josh: So the Cheesecake Factory is the US. Cheesecake shop.

Tommy: Oh, is it what it's called? I thought it was the Cheesecake Factory. Oh yeah, Cheesecake Factory is where we took Seb's for a—

Josh: With the big burrito thing. Cheesecake shop is the green one where you can get the big green mud cakes with the little cherry.

Tommy: I mean, you got a whole cake there once and ate the whole thing, didn't you?

Josh: I have got a whole piece. Bri got half, we got half half. Like it was a pizza and then just enjoyed it. I feel like Scooter's gonna have heaps to say about the Cheesecake Shop just because it is from a, from a Bogan perspective, Scoot, I feel like you would get around this.

Derek: My feelings about the Cheesecake Shop or not factory, I thought it was factory as well, but there you go.

Josh: It's like people thinking that Taco Bell versus Bill. It's, um, I think it was one of those things where, you know, an Aussie created— anyway, go on.

Derek: Sometimes it stays forever. My parents still say Weetabix because in, in the UK, Weet-Bix is called Weetabix. But there you go. The Cheesecake Shop was on Smith Street, and it was like, so you had the birth of all these independents making cafes and, you know, gluttony and all, you know, cafes popping up everywhere. And it just did seem like a bit of a Yeah, a bit of a bogany sort of generic way to get a cake.

Josh: Do you reckon I could get one of these? Would the Indies deliver?

Tommy: Yeah, I reckon.

Derek: Well, yeah, for sure.

Tommy: I reckon.

Derek: Have a look on Uber Eats dessert. You must have by now.

Tommy: But even like, think about the— there's a big box brownie. Like, I'm sure these—

Josh: so I did the boat, to be honest. So I got a free— I think it was— I won't say the name. I, I got a brownie from a place And they had a peanut butter shake. Oh, this was the other day. And so I had the peanut butter shake as well. And then what day? It was a Saturday. It was like 4 weeks. It was when I was dancing. And I wasn't dancing at the time, but it was the week of. Anyway, Bree said she didn't really want it. And I'm like, oh, look, babe, I have to get the— I have to get like— they've got a slab And so I got like the brownie slab, and, uh, so it was fine. And then I got a peanut butter shake, and Bree said to me after I ordered it, she's like, I don't think you're going to like the shake. I was like, are you kidding me? It's peanut butter. Like, how can you fuck peanut butter? Like, it's gonna be great. Turns out it was like a breakfast. They put muesli in it. I was like, this was a Saturday night treat. And I'm drinking muesli and I couldn't have been more pissed off. And then they gave me a free brownie and they said, thank you. This was like very early days of all this COVID stuff. And they get like, you know, thank you so much for all the support. They chucked in a peanut butter brownie and said, please share on Instagram and do all that sort of thing. I was just like, yeah, no, absolutely. I had to chuck it like When you— when I have to chuck out food, something has gone horribly wrong. Would have—

Tommy: Seb's liked the smoothie though.

Josh: Yes, but it would have been something he would have had at 11 AM.

Tommy: Okay, 9 PM.

Derek: Okay, this happened to me today. This happened to us today.

Josh: So you had a peanut? Are you revealing too much about what you've eaten today, Scooter?

Derek: No, we bought for Mother's Day, me and the kids we got some, some things for her, some weird tea diffuser and a bunch of stuff from Oasis up in Fairfield. It's awesome.

Josh: Yeah, love Oasis.

Derek: If you've been there, yeah, God, it's good. Um, so the kids were sort of going, oh, you know, get, get her a chocolate bar or whatever. They're lazy. Tom's a bit kind of lazy when it comes to that thoughtfulness. So we got this chocolate bar and show it to you. I'm sorry, it's—

Josh: oh yeah, cheese kit, Loving Earth. So that's healthy, you know, that's healthy.

Derek: Well, we didn't know that, so we bought it for Fiona, and the karma got us because we couldn't find it on Sunday morning, and it was— we'd left it here. And so we got in this morning and it was generally— it was like, kids, what are we going to do? Are we gonna—

Josh: so the brand is Loving Earth, which is more like using different ingredients rather sort of— you stand, it's a bit chalky, it's a bit chundery.

Derek: It was, it was bloody awful. Um, we, we as a team, we elected to forget about Mum and just eat it. And, and the kids didn't hesitate, which is a bit sad. Um, but, and we broke it up and I handed it— yeah, yeah, I'm— I can't remember who suggested it, might have been me, but But I took the— I took it apart and gave the kids some and said, you know, nick off out of here. And they came back with it in their hand going, oh, it's horrible.

Josh: And so it's cheesecake flavoured is what it says. What's— if you look at the ingredients, what is it, Rocky? It's going to be— read it.

Derek: Exactly. Then I— ready? Cocoa butter.

Tommy: Right.

Derek: I'm pretty sure you rub that on your toes. Evaporated coconut nectar. What does that mean? Raw cashews?

Unknown: Yeah, at least roast them.

Derek: Coconut? Yeah, exactly. Coconut, lemon essential oil, hazelnut, almond, min— 30% minimum KKO certified organic, direct trade. Right, good on you if you like it. I don't want to stop people from wanting, you know, healthy stuff, but We got karma smacked us down real hard because we don't like the flavor. So we'll give it, we'll say we had a taste and we'll bring the rest home for Mama.

Tommy: You give it back.

Josh: Do you reckon she'll like it?

Derek: No, she'll hate it, but we'll still have given it to her. We'll get 60% of the credit.

Josh: And so Seb's on Friday night, you were surprising Grace with some flowers.

Tommy: Oh, cutie. Was this during Friday night drinks or—

Unknown: No, it was— Okay, so I know—

Josh: So there we go. It's like, do you want to do it?

Unknown: But, um, no, on Thursday I put an order in because I wanted to get Grace some flowers, and the cutoff was 2 PM Perth time, and I ended up ordering at 2:15 Perth time.

Josh: Was the delay— The delay had something to do with you wanting to make sure they weren't shit flowers?

Unknown: Mm, yeah, fair.

Tommy: But I mean, 15 minutes— what was the 15 minutes window that made you realise they weren't shit flowers and you order?

Unknown: Well, no, well, because I, because I hadn't, I hadn't searched flowers Perth before, so I had to go through a few websites to find the one that I wanted. And the, the site that I ended up going with wasn't— I wouldn't go with them again, uh But yeah, so I put, I put the order through and I was like, okay, so maybe 15 minutes, it might get in the window to get deliveries today.

Josh: What day was this?

Unknown: Great.

Josh: Yep.

Unknown: This is Thursday, Thursday last week. And so I put, I put it in. I was like, okay, maybe it'll come. It didn't come Thursday night. And I was like, okay, great. Well, at least it's guaranteed on Friday.

Josh: Were you hinting? Because this was a surprise for Grace. Were you sort of hinting at this point, like what's been happening?

Unknown: No, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, nothing.

Tommy: I hadn't made sure. You don't tell them the surprise, like the great idea for your cake.

Josh: Well, that's the whole thing.

Tommy: You surprised her with the cake.

Josh: Well, it's her birthday, like you'd hope for a cake. So anyway, go on.

Tommy: Surprise, surprise is nice.

Unknown: Yeah, well, so Saturday it was getting like afternoon, so they deliver up to 7 PM at night Perth time, so 9 PM my time. And Anyway, so I was sort of waiting. It was Friday night drinks, nothing, nothing had happened. I hadn't got a message yet, um, and I was like, they're guaranteed coming today. It says same day delivery. If it's not coming the day before, then it's going to come the next day. So it was probably—

Josh: I mean, I was, I was a little bit pissed, uh, 8 PM Melbourne time.

Unknown: Yeah, 8 PM Melbourne. Oh no, might have been a little bit earlier. Maybe 7 PM. I— 7 PM, I ended up—

Tommy: You were fired up.

Unknown: Yeah. Well, so I got a little bit pissed and I mentioned it to Grace that I had ordered flowers and they hadn't— They should have come, but they hadn't come yet.

Josh: What was her reaction?

Unknown: Sort of just like a sweet surprise. Like that's sort of a bit excited.

Tommy: Yeah. Surprise.

Josh: Yeah.

Unknown: But anyway, so—

Tommy: You could have said, I've got something coming for you. Has it arrived?

Josh: I reckon that's too risky. I think whenever you do that, I always go bigger. Like, if someone says something's coming for you, I'm like, oh my God, I can't believe what's about to happen. Like, that's why I think surprises, bad idea. Yeah.

Unknown: Well, the thing is as well, it's delayed. Like, it's too late now. Like, it becomes out of context.

Tommy: And so, anyway, so it was like, "Flowers just for a sweet gesture are never out of context. You'll learn that. You can never go wrong.

Josh: Did they say happy Thursday on them or something?

Unknown: No, but they— it like the little note had like what I wrote in the note had stuff to do with Thursday. And so it would have been okay if they came Friday morning, but you would— yeah, anyway, so anyway, it was Friday night like 8 o'clock and I was like, okay, We mentioned it, I mentioned it on Friday Night Drinks because I was absolutely fuming that they had an hour left to come and it— they weren't going to come.

Josh: And so had you called them at all?

Unknown: No, I hadn't called them.

Josh: You really had a real issue.

Tommy: What are you talking about? He does not.

Derek: This is—

Josh: I reckon half the issues you have in life is because you're not willing to pick up the phone.

Unknown: Well, yeah, well, okay, well, so I said it, it, it passed 9 o'clock and I sent them I had my email ready to send, so I drafted the email, and as soon as it hit 9 o'clock, because that's their delivery cutoff time, I sent the email and I charged back on PayPal. And so what an animal. I haven't got any—

Tommy: I haven't got— it's a modern-day keyboard warrior right there. Just absolutely nope, guaranteed, guaranteed delivery.

Unknown: Like, if you can't do that, then definitely get a refund. Anyway, so Saturday Saturday morning, it's probably like, I don't know, around midday-ish. I'm on FaceTime with Grace.

Josh: Your time or Grace's time?

Unknown: I can't remember, to be honest. Just, it would maybe afternoon-ish, maybe, yeah, midday to afternoon. Anyway, so they, we were on FaceTime, they got an, she got a knock at the door and it was the flower delivery.. And funnily enough, they said happy Mother's Day when they handed them over, which is great.

Josh: They've royally fucked this.

Unknown: And, um, yeah, well, so she's, she's got them now and they said happy Mother's Day.

Tommy: So, uh, hang on, wait, does Grace have kids?

Unknown: Yeah, no, it's absolute nightmare.

Tommy: Like, what?

Unknown: Yeah, come on, guys. Oh God, flowersales.com.au, don't buy from them.

Tommy: Flowersales.com.

Unknown: Yeah, shit house.

Josh: So yeah, the other thing too is like, you don't like to talk about like, when it comes to gifts, it's very distasteful to talk about cost and money and things like that. But here we go, the— you absolutely fucked it. He spent way too much. Like, look, yeah, I paid $40 the other day for flowers.

Unknown: I paid $38 to get mum Mother's Day flowers. And then so these flowers are very similar. They, yeah, they were quite expensive.

Josh: And so you spent what? You spent double what you spent on your mum, which is a whole lot. You spend double. And I mean, the thing is, when I saw the flowers, when I saw Grace do an Instagram of the flowers, I was like, This reeks of a 20-year-old trying to sort out flowers. It's just, it was missing the shit chocolate and the fucking stuffed toy that no one wants.

Unknown: It was, it looked like that. Those are the add-ons, yeah. It was an absolute disaster. But the good thing is now I know, and Bree sent me a list.

Tommy: I am.

Unknown: Broadsheet, if you go to Broadsheet and type in wherever you wanna send them, the city and then flowers, they'll tell you the best flower shops. And so one that Bri, that was on the list that Bri recommended, Grace said is great. So I've now got my go-to.

Tommy: I do appreciate though, I appreciate you not asking for help before because it shows that you're actually leaning into it. 'Cause it's the reason you don't wanna go to the bottle-o 'cause you don't wanna make the wrong choice. It's like—

Josh: Oh, definitely. And that's the whole thing. It's like we could have taken over and done a stellar job with the flowers, but it's not for us. And that's a hard pill to swallow sometimes. I mean, Scooter, what's your deal with flowers? When was the last time you got Fiona flowers?

Derek: Oh, well, funnily enough, first of all, as always, good on you, Sevs. The romance is in the adventure and the stress and the telling of the storey and all that. So good on you. The flowers worked. You reckon it's a disaster. It wasn't. It's a huge success.

Tommy: When you've got a podcast, it helps. But if you don't have a podcast—

Derek: Who gives a shit? You're getting some content.

Tommy: The times are on, you're fucked up.

Josh: Maybe you're not paying for that.

Tommy: But anyway, I love it.

Derek: That's the romance, the stress and the learning and all that. I live literally on my way home. The last major road I go across has the 24-hour flower shop. So that's good.

Josh: 24 hours.

Derek: But I am, I am a flower buyer. Yeah, and not just when I fuck up either, right? But like I said before to Josh, it's not that out of my way, and we all know that. So it takes about 50% of the cred. Okay, you got me flowers, that's great.

Josh: But is there something else there that you go to that sort of has more cred?

Derek: Cooking.

Josh: Cooking.

Tommy: Cooking.

Derek: Yeah, cooking.

Josh: Yeah, like, so if you cook something, that's a, that's a bigger thing.

Derek: Handmade waffles is my new favourite specialty.

Josh: You got a waffle line?

Derek: I'm so proud. I even made some, took them and dropped them to my mum.

Josh: Oh, that's nice.

Tommy: You're a good guy.

Derek: I got this chair, guys. Sorry, this is a— Here, go on.

Josh: No, you go.

Tommy: Yeah, I was, I was going to wrap, I was going to wrap it up, but I want to know what's going on with the chair.

Josh: What's, what's this?

Derek: The chair. So there's this very special chair in my family and I scored it on Sunday. I think Mum was so happy to have me standing on their back veranda talking to her. And I said, don't forget, don't give the chair to my brother. And I got the chair. Do you want to— I don't know if I can take the—

Josh: Yeah, can you show us the chair?

Derek: Do you want me to try?

Josh: Are you going to change shots? Yeah, might as well change the shot.

Derek: Give it a go. Give it a shot. Okay, so there's the kids.

Josh: There's a classic Scooter Derek ass crack family vibes.

Derek: Yes, sorry, sorry, sorry, that's, that's my kids doing that in the other studio, what's left of it now, madly trying to open up.

Tommy: He's still angry. Oh yeah, yeah.

Josh: Oh, that's it. That is really nice.

Derek: Yeah.

Tommy: You've been handed an heirloom.

Derek: That's from Buckingham Palace. That's from Buckingham.

Tommy: Wow.

Unknown: Bullshit.

Josh: That's, that's a great story.

Derek: Yeah. So there's a whole big storey about it. The ER is not Elizabeth, it's Edward. So these chairs were— cut back to me now. Those chairs were made, they were commissioned by the palace to have just in the kitchen. It's not a fancy chair for the staff and everything. And then this Edward guy, he quit because he fell in love with an American. I don't know if you watch The Crown, people, but he fell in love with an American woman who'd been divorced. So they didn't let him marry her and still be the king. So he said, fuck it, fuck off. And he went and continued his love with the American lady. And so they had to just— they gave these chairs to all the staff And so this woman who worked in the palace, she got her chair and she ended up falling into the hands of our family eventually.

Josh: Wow.

Tommy: Maybe 20 years ago.

Derek: So there you go.

Tommy: I feel like we're now on an episode of Antiques Roadshow. We're cutting to Scooter Derrick with the, you know, how much is it going for?

Josh: The Edwardian— TJ's favourite question.

Unknown: How much? How much? How much?

Tommy: Sir, what would a chair like this be worth if we were to sell it again today? It's my favourite part of Antiques Roadshow, by the way.

Josh: Watching people, how much it's cost, you know, how much it costs.

Derek: Yeah, yeah. Watching people pretend to be excited and watching people break trash or treasure. I like it when they're waiting for the £60,000 answer and they get a £1,500. Yeah, I love it.

Josh: And so what do you—

Derek: I don't know if this has any value at all. I don't, I don't know.

Tommy: This is— yeah, it's all about sad episode. I mean How many of them?

Josh: Like, how many chairs?

Tommy: Like what they tell them on the show as well.

Josh: Like, how many chairs?

Tommy: Sorry, it's worth nothing.

Josh: How many do you reckon they're in circulation?

Unknown: Just, I mean, so hang on, was this— wasn't this manufactured for the kitchen? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, they would have done more than one.

Derek: Yeah, sure, you know, for the staff. So the royals wouldn't have sat on this unless they went down like in the movies and had a quiet sandwich.

Tommy: And that's disgusting, the royals wouldn't go down there. Yucky. Not to the kitchen.

Derek: You've got to watch The Crown to get an idea of how it works.

Josh: Okay, all right.

Derek: Well, it's a good binge.

Josh: I just, um, I wanted to recommend a Netflix doco that I watched last night. It's called Cracked Up. It's about the, um, it's about the guy, uh, Darrell Hammond, I think is his name. He's the dude who does— he's been the longest running person on Saturday Night Live. Do you know about this guy, Scoot? I feel like He's the one that did all the presidents. He would basically— and does Trump and all that sort of thing.

Tommy: But, um, he just passed away.

Josh: Oh, has he fucking died? Don't tell me he's died.

Tommy: I don't know, I just— I remember someone in on Saturday Night Live though. I saw someone saying, no, sad times.

Josh: I'm gonna go, no, Darryl Hammond. Um, no, it's great. I mean, he had a real fucked up childhood. Um, no, he's alive.

Unknown: He's alive. 64.

Josh: Yeah, really interesting doco though. So that's a recommendation. Uh, Scooter, thank you for coming on the show.

Derek: Excellent.

Josh: Anything else? So when— what time is the video coming out?

Tommy: Oh, I mean, I was hoping to be out the door at 1 to get the scene done of it, so it will be later on. This evening, but it'll be done. It's just, it's just like my meditation. I haven't, uh, missed a day. I get it done within the day. But great, I'll get it done this arvo.

Unknown: Great. I've got a few just on the, um, just on the 10 seconds of admin stuff. If, if you've already done some of the things or you can't do them— so Sheena's got an Android and so she can't leave a podcast review. But she's emailed in hidethedailytalkshow.com, uh, and she's left her own review. So she's written, 5-star podcast, a multivitamin podcast, all your daily needs in one.

Josh: And because multivitamins are also like questionable whether they work, so I mean, it's pretty relevant, isn't it?

Tommy: Yeah, this is great.

Unknown: I've been quietly listening since mid-2019, loved the banter, and it didn't take long for me to feel a part of the in-jokes and the Gronk Squad. The Daily Talk Show has created joy, stability, and growth within my own life, especially as of late, being a source of motivation to not turn into a sad potato. I admire the boys' passion for continual learning, vulnerability, and consistency. They encourage listeners and guests to question what they think to be true with a genuine interest in exploring personal development while also being delightfully entertaining. Brilliant guests, no bullshit, just real humans chatting about relatable content. And asking the tough questions, because without friction there is no traction.

Tommy: Josh, love it.

Unknown: I don't, I don't come from a media background, but I can appreciate how many years of hard work the boys have gone through to birth this idea and their continued commitment, which has created such a wonderful and forever developing community. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Keep up the great work.

Tommy: Thank you. Lovely review.

Josh: And in regards to— I'm going to do live admin. If you're listening to the show, if you're watching it, whatever you're doing, take a screen grab, take a photo. Extra points if you have the Daily Talk Show merch, whether it's the Gronk Tee, the crew neck, or the hoodie back in the day. Take a photo and say something nice. I did a WhatsApp, um, uh, WhatsApp video that I sent everyone. They could say something like— if you are struggling, you could say chilling out, favourite part of the day, hot choc, listening to the boys.

Unknown: I mean, that's what Rain Man did, didn't he? Rain Man uploaded a photo, he's got his coffee, he's pumped for the boys.

Tommy: Oh great, yeah, that's what we like, that's what we like.

Josh: All right guys, perfect.

Tommy: Daily Talk Show, happy Monday.

Josh: See you, uh, midday every single day at youtube.com/thedailytalkshow. Or, um, why is that so funny, Seb? We know why it's funny because I slurred my words because I'm trying to get it done so TJ doesn't piss his pants. Uh, see you tomorrow, guys. Have a good one.

Tommy: See you guys.
