Dating Profiles & A Lost Laptop

Josh: The Daily Talk Show. It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 745.

Tommy: It's weekend banter. Happy Saturday, Gronks. Welcome to the studio. We've got a full house. Brianna Phillips is on the couch. I just want to address the rebrand in the room. Love your profile pic. I love the rollout across Facey, Insta. Not sure if it's on LinkedIn yet, but I will check. You should, you should bring it.

Josh: She doesn't have a microphone, but I thought, I just want to say, I thought that the rebrand was my, all the clothes that she's wearing, that it's actually mine.

Tommy: Yeah, she's got the— Are those leggings yours?

Josh: I'm pissed.

Tommy: I'm pissed because I get, I used to get a few hand-me-downs from JJ and I was hoping I would get those.

Josh: No, these are, this is the premium stuff. It's a good, it's sort of the boyfriend fit vibe. Yeah. I was actually late because Well, Bri had a psych appointment at our place, you know, using that, what's it called?

George: Like the e-telehealth.

Tommy: I think it's the only way. I don't know if any psychologists are doing face-to-face ATM.

George: Maybe, maybe.

Josh: She thought I'd left and I was still there. And all I heard was that there was domain names mentioned in her psych appointment. How the fuck do I get the domain names mentioned in the appointment? We don't have a mic.

Tommy: It's better just to think about it. What could the storey be? I went straight to like—

Josh: I did hear the whole thing. It had something to do with my— she's very regimented, organized. I'm talking about she likes data in the business. And then they were talking about, look, look how organised you got with the domain names.

Tommy: Yeah, yeah. No, that's fair. That's fair. Hey, we've got a rat amongst us. Oh, and I mean, everyone's looking around at each other.

Mason: It's not me.

Tommy: Nah, I look at a rat in the Gronkh Squad.

Josh: I think the actual Gronks, like the, the broader Gronk Squad.

Mason: Bodhi.

Josh: Oh, okay.

Tommy: He's, uh, daycare. He's been swearing.

Josh: Oh no. What sort of, what sort of words?

Tommy: F-bombs.

Josh: Oh really? In what context?

Tommy: It's running around the playground. Oh no. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

Josh: Surely that's a big thing. A lot of kids would be doing that now that they're back. If you've been in ISO, you get some bad habits.

Tommy: Well, they, they said that they get it every few months, like it's a new kid each time. Like it's— and so they're obviously just getting it from their parents. And so this was Bodhi this time and they said, 'Oh, Bodhi, I can't really— I can't say that,' or something. And he said, 'Daddy says it.' Absolute little rat.

Mason: Oh no.

Tommy: Daddy says it.

Josh: You were, you were in the office late last night.

Tommy: Yes. 11:30 departure. It was just, you know, stretching to get the Georgie Boy video that I shot yesterday with George. Yeah, uh, i.e., parkour expert, i.e., DIY studio renovator. But, um, no, I was at— I got some Thai food here, uh, I got some massaman in my teeth, you know, when you're eating from across the road. Amy came and picked me up, was lovely. She came in and had dinner and was on the couch, and, and we got the Thai food, and I said, uh, oh, is this Jinda Thai? No, somewhere else. And then she's like, oh shit, I just got the free delivery one, but then we realised we could have walked across the road and got it.

Josh: Well, we got Eto'o pasta last night.

Tommy: Oh, yeah.

Josh: Annoyingly, came with a free pizza.

Tommy: Do you sure you don't want the one piece in the fridge?

Josh: Oh, yeah, we need to get rid of that.

Tommy: I was going to eat that last night until I opened the box.

George: Oh, no.

Tommy: It's, it's a piece of plasterboard.

Josh: Is it the four cheese? Yeah.

Tommy: Yeah. It's very hard. It will get thrown out. Today we're doing a—

Josh: Why is that? Why is 4 cheese so funny?

George: There's a lot of cheese.

Josh: What is—

George: What are the cheeses? But yeah, I can imagine. I wouldn't be able to tell.

Mason: Mozzarella.

Tommy: Yeah, definitely mozz.

Mason: Bit of parmesan maybe.

Tommy: Is that weird?

Josh: Why don't they call meat lovers 4 meats?

Tommy: Because it's probably got 70 in there. You know that a burger patty— Did I say this on the show? A burger patty in the States has pork up to 500 different cows in it. Oh. Isn't that ridiculous? I thought I just wouldn't bring that up on World Burger Day, but you know.

Mason: Oh my God. I guess that's mince, right?

Tommy: Yeah, that's mince.

Josh: That's mince.

Tommy: I mean, that's American mince. That's—

Mason: I'm sure that's the same here.

Tommy: They're talking the hard, the hardcore.

Mason: Well, that mince isn't from one cow. They're definitely fusing cows together in that mince.

George: Yeah.

Tommy: I mean, that's the thing. You don't know.

Mason: Maybe just stick with the steak.

Josh: I mean, single origin. What do you, what do you think needs to be single origin versus stuff that you'd be happy to blend?

Tommy: So, is that the term? Single origin is one, you know exactly where it's coming from.

Josh: I don't know if they use it for beef, single origin beef.

Tommy: But like, coffee is single origin. I've never thought about what that means.

Josh: So, it means it's coming from like, so—

Tommy: Single source.

Josh: Isn't it crazy to think that if you bought coffee, it's not a single origin, it's just a bunch of beans. But they do blends, they being the coffee roasters.

Tommy: It's an interesting point. Never thought about that.

Josh: But like, think about wines.

Tommy: Well, yeah, there's a bunch of grapes you can turn out.

Josh: Like you can turn out.

Tommy: Oh, you know, standing on the old school way of, you know, crushing grapes with your feet.

Josh: The tea, like when I was doing the tea to order, I was very specific in looking at the different types of tea.

Tommy: I mean, someone's made a play for you for the tea guy.

Josh: It was you, which is— I saw Amy in the Discord.

George: Yeah.

Josh: Saying the tea family, which really pissed me off.

Tommy: And do you know, I gotta tell you, um, that storey that I put up about the tea too, little thingamajiggy that you, you know, infuse your water with the tea, um, very cool, high demand with people wanting to understand where it's from. I got an inbox to my Insta, um, personal, personal Insta. Rob, who now is— he asked to become the Discord.

Josh: Yeah, sure.

Tommy: Yeah, because what I did was rather than just post it to Rob, I thought I'll put it into the Discord and then I asked Amy to put into the Discord because I didn't know. And so Amy jumped in under my, you know, request of connection. Yeah. Can you post the link to this T2 thing?

Josh: And so she did it with an affiliate link.

Tommy: Should have. Maybe. Maybe.

Josh: How much have we made on affiliates?

Mason: I got an email this morning saying that we've made no cash in the past 60 days.

Josh: So. Go for the megaphone. Where is the megaphone?

Tommy: I think it's upstairs. Okay. It was one of the greatest moments when our accountant, hot accountant, Jason from RBK Advisory, in such a serious sort of tone referenced, you know, we've got the megaphone money coming through.

Josh: Well, it's officially in the chart of accounts. You know, there's a line item that says megaphone.

Tommy: It's actually amazing.

Josh: He said, do you want us to— do you want me to just put this under marketing? I said, no, absolutely not. We need to divide this out. Yeah, I want to be able to see very specifically how much we've made, what it's up to.

Tommy: But someone is making a play for something else that is yours. And that first thing was the tea, and that was me. Second is Georgie Boy. He's making a play for, you know, who can be sort of bringing in the most.

Josh: Georgie Boy was like, what the—

Mason: where's this going?

Josh: This is this. This is about. Who's texting? Is this my— Is it the WhatsApp phone that's dinging?

Tommy: It's actually my phone. It's my phone.

Josh: What's going on?

Tommy: I'm getting a message from Sean. Guy on the left has your hoodie on. Oh, this is cool. So I just got a message and that's it there. You can't really see it. If you can bring that up big.

Josh: So it's a— Yeah, you are.

Tommy: It's a photo of someone from behind. This is real time. 2 people walking. The guy on the left has the Daily Talk Show hoodie on.

George: Who is it?

Tommy: Man, I don't know.

Josh: It looks like— Pass it and I'll be able to tell.

Tommy: Do you reckon that's Geelong? Hang on. Here you go. This is great. Trying to get real time.

Josh: I'm pretty good at working it out.

Tommy: Imagine if we could get this Gronkh on the line.

Mason: Oh yeah.

Tommy: Like we could call him right now and say, mate, we've got someone behind you. Okay. Got someone behind you. Who do you think that is? It's beachside location. They're walking along. There's a rotunda. To the right sort of sloping up with greenery and then on the left—

George: Probably Russ Keys?

Tommy: No, no, it looks like an older gentleman.

Josh: I can't tell that's too hard to tell.

Tommy: Could be lawn. Let me ask a few details. Let me ask Shawny boy. But anyway, George, you're making a play to take— To knock Josh off his pedestal. Oh, make the most money! Yeah. So you've had enough of his megaphone and all the glory it's bringing the show. What do you want here?

George: What's happening? Yeah, once I get the the downstairs phone booth, the phone booth recording booth sorted. I reckon I can lease it out.

Josh: You can lease it out?

George: Like $20 an hour or something.

Josh: And what are you going to do?

Mason: Who's getting the cash for this? You or BMCA?

George: No, the show. The show. And then I could just, you know, take them through how to do professional recordings, that sort of thing.

Tommy: This guy, I think, I mean, he's not a businessman, clearly, with the $20 offer.

Josh: Yeah.

Tommy: Could you have the—

Josh: And the only reason it's going through us is because he doesn't have an ABN.

Tommy: Can you— could you do a scaling higher fee? So the beauty of the microphone is, you know, it started out at $50 and now it's at $155.

Josh: Well, there's a guy, Mike Russell, who does music. He does like jingles. He has a YouTube channel where he goes live every Friday.

Tommy: That's great.

Josh: People can pay super chats. And he will in real time create their jingles for them.

Tommy: That's cool.

George: Oh, great.

Josh: I feel like you could, you know, compete with Mike on that.

Tommy: Yeah, well, there's a few, a couple of things. Georgie Boy, you know, off the back of the fame from Georgie Boy's Hunt Day Replay could be voice of your business because he does have a face for a business.

Josh: Yeah. This is getting very similar to sort of regional radio where he's the copywriter voiceover guy, like Regional radio, they're not making any money.

Tommy: What are you talking about?

Josh: But I could imagine what, like regional radio, you were saying like it'd be like a $300 spot.

Tommy: Oh yeah. I mean, I didn't really— they would— yeah, people are buying spots. They were selling air at that point.

Josh: Can we do like airtime?

Tommy: Yeah, that was— yeah, but it was really— yeah, who knows.

Josh: Can we get like an example, George, of like maybe use the 10 seconds of admin? Would you be able to do 10 seconds of admin now in sort of a voiceover style. All right. And 3, 2—

George: 10 seconds of ad— Oh wait, that's your voice.

Josh: No, this is a new voice.

George: All right. 10 seconds of admin. Have you joined the Discord? Well, why don't you get in touch and we'll send you a link? It's lots of fun and everyone's loving it. So get in there.

Josh: And then, and then, and then— Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut.

Mason: We really need the megaphone, don't we?

Josh: Not enough confidence. Nah, I was losing confidence. I think it's because you were trying to make up what you were saying on the go, so I'll give you the script.

George: Okay, great.

Josh: Okay.

Tommy: Um, you know he's good at getting fed lines. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, let's watch any of these videos.

Josh: Yeah, the talent is, uh, TJ script writing. Um, 10 seconds of admin. Are you on Apple Podcasts? Give us a review. Thank you.

George: And 3, 2, 10 seconds of admin. Are you on Apple Podcasts? Give us a review. Love it. Slightly different tone. Oh, sorry.

Josh: Thank you. Yeah, no, I like that. If I had the soundboard, I would applaud you.

George: That's fine.

Josh: Yeah.

George: Okay. Can I tell my Uber storey or?

Tommy: Oh yeah. So this is not today. This is— Do it from the booth. That's the first storey that comes out.

Josh: I'm interested.

Tommy: So this is flashing back to what night? Wednesday.

George: Wednesday night.

Josh: Don't know if it's a flashback, if it happened like Yeah, it's a flashback. 2 days ago.

Tommy: Feels like a long time ago. Feels like ages ago.

George: Yeah, it was ages ago.

Mason: Yeah.

George: So, okay, long story.

Josh: Have you ever been on a podcast before?

George: So yeah, so I got an Uber back from work.

Josh: Do you have an Uber budget, by the way?

George: Like, um, no, not really.

Josh: Because you've been like—

George: Been Ubering a lot.

Josh: A lot of Uber Eats.

George: Yeah.

Josh: Does Hannah care at all about what you spend on Uber Eats or Uber?

George: Nah, not really. It's adding up. I'm almost platinum.

Josh: So am I. Yeah. And so, okay, so you go on.

Tommy: Sorry to interrupt.

George: So, I left my— Basically, I left my laptop and my bag in the Uber. I was like, oh no. I realised like a minute later after getting out and I went to call Uber. You can't call them like there's no phone number for the driver.

Josh: Do you know what you should have done? I reckon. Looking back, do you have an idea of what you should have done in that moment?

George: Ordered heaps of Ubers, I reckon.

Josh: I reckon if you ordered one Uber. Yeah.

George: He could have come back and got me.

Josh: He would have. If it was, if it was pretty, if it was within, like you were saying, it was within like.

George: Yeah, I know.

Josh: 30 seconds.

George: Yeah.

Josh: Yeah.

George: I reckon I could have done that.

Josh: That's okay. And so, so then what time of day was it?

George: 5:30. I reckon.

Josh: Okay, 5:30 PM.

George: Yeah. And so, because I used to be able to just call them and if, you know, you've got their number, I'm pretty sure it used to disappear after like 5 minutes or something. But now it's just not there. Anyway, it's like, alright, if you've lost something, just fill out this form, put in your phone number, and then they'll connect you with the driver. And I did that like so many times. Uber never called. You know, they were just like, Terrible.

Josh: So, how long were you waiting?

George: Okay, so I was waiting for like 2 hours at this point.

Josh: Who did you call? Like, so did you call anyone during that 2 hours?

George: Yeah, so I called the Uber line, which just kept hanging up and said, sorry for the delay, but basically we're no help. And if you're in an emergency, just write to us. If you're feeling unsafe, write to us.

Tommy: Yeah, or call triple zero or something.

George: Yeah. No, they don't even say that.

Josh: If you're being sexually assaulted, put it in it, send us a DM. It's fucking outrageous.

George: And so I did. I sent them a DM. I, like, my sister ordered Uber Eats to try and cancel and then call, you know, make a complaint.

Josh: You just sent it right with a burrito?

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Sitting there with the burrito, furious.

George: Yeah, she got ice cream. And then when the Uber Eats guy, the poor kid came on his bike, she's like, do you have a direct number for Uber? We're trying everything.

Josh: Have you got George's laptop?

George: So anyway, then I was like, shit, what do I do? It's like been 2, 2 and a half hours. I've reported it missing like so many times. So I called 131 444, the police without the sirens, and they were super lovely.

Josh: My second favourite number.

George: Exactly.

Josh: You got them speeded up. Behind 000.

George: And so then she transferred me over to the police station because I was like, I've got his number plate. Can you just call him and just like ask him. So, she called him and phone's disconnected. Like, fuck. Alright, there goes that idea. So, then what happened next? Okay, then I, then, but so, she's like, what's his name? And I started spelling out his name, like D-H, and then she just read out his full, is this his name? Had his first and last name. So, I was like, okay, great. His last name is Patel. Perfect. So, then I was going through Facebook, found this guy with his name. Added him, was calling him on Messenger and stuff, just trying everything. He called me back and he's like, oh, you're looking for a miss— a lost item? Like, yes. Like, not me, mate, I'm not an Uber driver.

Tommy: Same name, not him.

George: Like, that's annoying. And then I was like, you sure? I'm pretty sure it's you. He's like, no, not me.

Josh: Anyway, if anything, like, you should, um, you should be having more empathy for people who try and Google. I mean, you've got a name George Martin. I know, really annoying to Google. Like, if I tried to find you, there's no way. This is why we need unique names. Yeah. Do you have your .com? Do you have your GeorgeMartin.com? No, no way.

George: Oh, no way.

Josh: Um, come on.

George: Okay, so then, so then I was like, all right, well, I'm all out of ideas. I gotta call Josh. Josh is the guy who will figure something out, you know, he's a good detective. So, call Josh and Josh is like, alright, what are we going to do here? Then you put on a tweet, you tweet.

Josh: Well, so I did the find because I said, okay, Find My on the iPhone. There's the Find My app, which can be, you can do your phone, you can do your laptop, anything.

George: Yeah.

Josh: But I think it's got to be on.

Tommy: I'm just going to cheque where my laptop is. See if I—

Josh: I don't think it will tell me.

George: It's got to be on.

Mason: It'll tell you probably last location.

Josh: Yes.

George: Potentially. Yeah.

Josh: But the fucked up thing was that you're, you've got such an outdated version of the phone. It was like, yeah, find my horse and cart. It was such an old version of the app that it didn't even have any.

George: I was like, I probably shouldn't update my phone while I'm waiting for a phone call.

Josh: Yeah, yeah.

George: So, left that. But I did lock my laptop and stuff like that. And then, and then you got on the case. Josh was on the case. He found a guy with the same first name on this like needadriver.com or whatever, 1-800-DRIVERS.

Josh: Yeah.

George: It's like you need a forklift driver, you need this. And, and you, what, so you called them?

Josh: Yeah. So, I first contacted Russ Keys because we know Russ Keys is in the—

George: Remember Russ?

Josh: Yeah. In the Uber game.

George: Yeah.

Josh: So, quick call with Russ. And because Russ and I could chat for a while, so I had to make it pretty clear straight up. Hi, Russ, quick call, but I'm going to call you tomorrow. Still need to call you, Russ. Georgie boy's lost his laptop in an Uber. What should he do? He said, just keep calling Uber. And so anyway, yeah, so I called 1800-DRIVERS.

George: Which is a different company.

Josh: Completely different company. Yeah. And I just said, hey, a mate of mine, I've got a weird one for you. So they answered straight away. Weird one for you. My mate was in an Uber. He left his laptop in the car and he has— I've just done some Googling and the driver is on your service, I believe. Would you be able to text him and say, give my mate George's number to him to contact?

Tommy: This is what time? 8 o'clock or something then? By then?

George: Yeah, it would have been.

Josh: Later, maybe.

George: Yeah.

Josh: 8:30.

Tommy: What, like the number you're calling, why they answer it like What do they do?

Josh: I guess they're like a job agency. And so they—

Tommy: Offshore, do you think? You're speaking to someone offshore?

Josh: No, I was just speaking to like someone in Australia.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: But then, but also, so I did that straight away and she said, oh, look, I can, I can send the text. I don't know if anything's going to happen. And then when that happened, I thought, okay, let's— I've done this before. You know, the classic sort of social media, grab some attention.

Tommy: You did it for me in Telstra once.

Josh: And so it's that I did a tweet from the Daily Talk Show, then sent it to Discord, WhatsApp. I mean, it's a good cause to go viral.

George: Oh yeah.

Josh: Oh yeah.

Tommy: We all, every Gronk jumped on board.

George: Yeah, right.

Tommy: Everyone wanted to help Georgie Boy. There was people logging into Twitter accounts they hadn't in 10 years. Yeah, yeah. Just like, I got to get Georgie's laptop back. And I was in there, help this great man.

Josh: And so that, so I did the tweet. I was ready. I was actually just preparing screen grabs of the tweet to put on our Insta storey and tagging. And then Georgie Boy sent me a message. Yeah.

George: So then, so I get this phone call from this random number. I'm like, hello? He's like, oh, hey, it's your DD driver. I'm like, not really, but yeah, okay, I've got an Uber. And he's like, apparently you like left something in my Uber. And I was like, yeah, here, have you got it? He's like, I'm just driving, I'll be 3 minutes before I check. I was like, check, mate, like call me when you've checked. So he's like, yeah, I'm just driving, I'll just pull over, hang on, just give me 2. I'm like, all right, I'm staying on the line till you do this. And he's like, what was it? I was like, it's a black bag. He like looked in the back seat, it's like, I can't see anything. Like, this is so annoying. And then I'm like, busy night? I was like, have you had any other customers? And he's like, no, you're my last customer. I'm like, great. So it's been 3 hours.

Josh: Because that was the biggest, the biggest concern is that some other gronk steals it.

George: Yeah, exactly.

Tommy: And then shit move if you did that, if anyone ever did that though.

Josh: I mean, but people do it, people murder people and stuff.

Tommy: Yeah, shit move.

Josh: Yeah, there's a lot of shit moves, heaps of shit moves people are playing.

Tommy: Yeah.

George: So then anyway, he pulled over and he said, yeah, it's in the back of the car. So I was like, sick.

Tommy: Oh, at that point, euphoria. Yeah, you've just had your first scoop of ice cream. Yeah, just pumped.

George: I know. I'd been on the phone to the police, everything, like it was crazy. And then he's like, um, can you come to Chapel Street to pick it up? I was like, yeah, okay. I'll be there in half an hour. I was like, where do you want to meet? Said Betty's Burgers. So I said, I had that today. And he said, what? What do you mean? I was like, don't worry, I'm coming.

Josh: So, oh mate, the buns, they're so fluffy. Didn't say that. I think they're brioche.

Tommy: Yeah, you know the farnoosa?

George: Yeah. So then, so got, and I said, I'll give you $50 if you like wait. He's like, okay, yeah, great.

Tommy: Well, because he asked you, what do you, what do you, how are you gonna remunerate my time?

George: Yeah, exactly. And I said, I'll give you $50.

Tommy: Which in the Uber app, there's a $20 return fee. Of an item.

George: Yeah, which I tried. I offered that in Uber. I did everything. I like changed my rating to try and get his attention, like, and then I was like, do I report him? Yeah, or do I like report an accident? Like, I was gonna go for anything.

Tommy: Well, this is what, yeah, it drives you to do. Uber should be paying you back in credits or something. Like, with, at the moment it was pretty fucked.

Josh: So did Uber ever get back to you then?

George: They got back to me like 2 or 3 days later. Saying, hey, in the app, or where did they get back? They DM'd me on Instagram and they said, we've also been talking to your mate Josh. They said, um, all you need to do is go in the app.

Tommy: Tell him to stop, please.

George: But literally it was like, um, if you've got a lost item, just go in the app, just put your number down. It's like, I've done all that, clearly, you idiots.

Josh: That's so annoying. That, uh, $50 thing reminded me, Bree and I, we were watching one of those, um, Would You Rather's last night. Like, celebrities get asked a bunch of Would You Rather's.

Tommy: Yeah.

Josh: Would you rather, uh, get paid $50 grand to suck one dick, or, um, and it's only one, or $5 grand for every dick you suck unlimited? Oh, how entrepreneurial are you?

Tommy: Oh, YOLO, $5 grand a day.

Josh: Oh, definitely, definitely. Amy would be on board.

Tommy: Gotta have a house in no time.

Josh: Team effort. Um, here's another one. Would you prefer—

Tommy: hang on, who answered that? Any big celebrities?

Josh: Uh, Logan Paul. I can't remember the, um—

Tommy: he'd do $5 grand.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, $5 grand. The, the other one was, would you prefer to sit on a cake and eat a dick, or eat— did I fuck that?

Mason: Um, or eat a dick and sit on a cake and eat a dick, or eat a cake and sit on a dick?

Josh: Yes. Which one? Yeah, I think I'd prefer to, um, sit on the cake.

George: Yeah, definitely.

Mason: Well, yeah, definitely. And then you get 5 grand.

Tommy: I'd be happy to eat the cake.

Josh: Oh yeah, but you're still getting it. Yeah, you're still getting paid.

Mason: We don't only need a few sucks It would be sweet for revenue.

Josh: It would be great. That's true. That's true.

Tommy: George would be busy in his little Harry Potter lair.

Josh: Yeah, exactly. He's been saying he's going to make us cash. We didn't realise how it was.

Tommy: Well, I saw— I mean, you left the office, you'd had a couple of glasses of wine last night and hijacked Mason's phone and was FaceTiming with Grace, having a D&M on the stairs. And Bree even walks in and said, how much wine have you had? Because your eyes were doing something funny. I was all for it, to be honest. This is not a, you know, a dig at you. But then I saw on the Discord last night— I reckon this needs to be a segment, something like the Discord catch-up, where it like— Emma went back through because she had FOMO about what had happened on the Discord.

Josh: How funny is Emma, by the way?

Tommy: Emma's the best.

George: We love Emma.

Josh: Just like, like there could be smut chat at 9 PM. She catches up at like 10 AM.

Tommy: Still in it.

Josh: Hey guys, I'm the smut. Definitely would suck a dick for 5 grand.

Tommy: I saw though, you'd— this, the smart transition—

Josh: that wasn't true, by the way. No, Emma didn't do that.

Tommy: The smart transition from the cashy—

Josh: yes, we all want cash. We all want cash.

Tommy: And we all want that sort of— yeah, you know, recurring revenues.

Josh: But also, I think anyone that says the $50 grand, um, uh, has a problem with their ego. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mason: Like, it's just like, it's so short-sighted as well.

Josh: Yeah, I would go as far as a bit homophobic to only suck one dick, don't you think? What's wrong with sucking a dick? Oh, yolo, really?

Tommy: You know, but I saw that there was some of these would you rather's. I just swiped back through and I saw you commented something about, you know, ejaculating or something. There was something in there. Oh, yes. And I just thought Josh is— he's continued on the wine.

Josh: I actually didn't. No, it was another would you rather. Uh, would you, would you rather cum hard, uh, every time you fart or fart hard every time you cum?

Tommy: I'd go that fart hard when you cum.

George: Really?

Josh: Yeah, because you do it anyway. No, I went the other way. Why?

Tommy: Because then when you just said, yeah, we're just having a conversation, you farting. I farted a couple of times yesterday.

Josh: Yesterday, the door, when we were walking out. That was a bit of gear.

Tommy: And he also came.

Josh: Exactly. Had to go home. Um, oh, and so, no, but we were talking about, um, Tinder and all those types of things.

Tommy: Yeah, why? Can you give me the Discord catch-up?

Josh: Yeah, the Discord deep dive.

Mason: TL;DR.

Josh: Uh, too long, didn't read. Yes, that's what that stands for. Um, So, uh, basically a couple of the Gronks were, uh, talking on Tinder to, um, other people.

George: Sorry, just quickly, Casey says Discord should not be content, please.

Josh: I'm not mentioning any names.

Tommy: Okay, okay, but you've implicated Casey.

Josh: What we're about to talk about, uh, no, so we're talking about— and I also saw, I then felt bad because, uh, one of the, one of the people that were on the Discord I think Charles said, hey, where did— like, there's been some Discord messages that have been deleted. And to save face, she said, I dropped my phone and deleted them. Like, I'm not— I'm not going to accuse anyone of anything, but I don't know if you can drop your phone on your face and act like delete. And it just so happens that it's the smutty messages. Yeah, yeah. No, but I think that It was definitely Casey. So yeah, we're talking about all things dating, Tinder, that type of thing. But I was suggesting of helping some people with their bios on dating sites.

Tommy: Did I see, can you put the Daily Talk Show in your bio?

Josh: Yes. Oh yeah. Yeah. So I've offered because the megaphone's going so well. And the JJ Innovation Fund's at $90. Is it? Because 10% of the overall revenue. I think the line item in Xero was at $900. Sure. Oh no, no, no, no, no.

Mason: Because that's the megaphone stuff.

Tommy: That was merch.

Mason: I reckon you're probably at maybe like $70 or $80.

Josh: Which George pretty much rinsed that, so you're at $10. That wasn't my innovation fund.

Tommy: And so anyway, company car content. Did you like the appearance from Jason, our accountant, in that? It was great. How good is Jason?

Josh: So good. Bree's like, how is he going to feel? Fucking love it. Love it. No, so I, yeah, so what I offered was $50, a voucher of your choice to one person who can integrate the Daily Talk Show into their Tinder, Grindr, whatever, Bumble, Hinge, uh, Raya, any of those services. Extra points for Raya. You got $75, JJ. I'll give you a drink cut. $75. Yeah.

Mason: Um, two $30 vouchers. How many vouchers? 50 bucks. 50? Okay, 50.

Josh: Okay, so you're just not using my whole innovation fund.

Mason: So just one person? Yeah. What if two people do it?

Josh: Well, that's the competition, right?

Mason: Okay, okay.

Josh: So the first person— I get it.

Tommy: Yeah, First Division beanie.

Mason: Yeah. Okay.

Tommy: Yeah, we'll give him an Audio Technica beanie if they— if they— oh yeah, that's a good idea.

George: Audio Technica beanie.

Josh: Can you put it on to sport it, George, so we can see how it looks like? We've got more, so it won't have to—

Tommy: yeah, take your Lulu leather hat off.

Josh: And yeah, so what do you think of the, the idea integrating? And I love it.

Tommy: I, I mean, is it— who's it more— who's it more beneficial for? I, I want— if, if we're to do it, I think it needs to be— I don't know how it works. If you're swiping across We need to be in the photo. We need to be in the first photo.

Josh: And also, oh, that beanie looks great.

Tommy: Yeah, it does.

Josh: The Audio Technica beanie Georgie Boy's wearing, it looks really good. That Audio Technica bit, that is his headphones, not part of the beanie. Works well.

Tommy: Oh, I forgot to mention Audio Technica, who, you know, they support us. They said that we could do a giveaway at some point. Oh, great. Some of their gear. Yeah, I forgot to mention that yesterday. What are they doing right now?

Josh: No, but like, I'm talking like a, like a mic or something like that. That'd be fun. Which is huge. Yeah. No, so I wasn't thinking you could do that. So anyone that's been to an episode, episode 500. Yeah. We've got— there's some photos of us with Gronkhs. With Gronkhs.

Tommy: Yeah, we took a heap of photos that night.

Josh: So that would be good. Yep.

Mason: But Ramble's got a lot of them.

Josh: But to be honest, so we're, we're a couple of thousand shy of having our biggest month ever. In downloads. It'll be less. Yeah, about a couple of thousand, which we could do. Like if we had an extra day in the month, we'd hit our biggest month ever. Last month we had— we were doing the two shows a day as well. So the fact that we're about to like getting very close to last month is epic, but I'm just trying to get a bit of juice, get a few more downloads, all that sort of thing. So I think some sort of dating integration because people will do things when they're horny. Like, I know Casey was talking to a music teacher and she could— no, She convinced him to learn Opportunity by Pete Murray on guitar for her. Like, that's— I sort of felt, yeah, there's a sense where it's like, fuck, if I was on the other end of it, just the willingness just to do shit for like, oh yeah, yeah, I'll put a cup on my head and take a photo with the Daily Mail, you know, shit like that. But I feel like they're They're primed. Like, especially, I reckon extra points if the messages are after 10 PM. If you get the Daily Talk Show mentioned after 10 PM on the chat, extra points.

Tommy: What about opening with, have you, have you listened to the Daily Talk Show podcast? I'm just trying to find a couple of others or something on the chat. You know, like last week we were talking about the people who post, put a dog emoji and say, I've lost my puppy.

Josh: Do you know where it is? I'm just getting comments saying, uh, what happened to no names?

Tommy: Uh, classic. Well, I think that—

Josh: well, no, yeah, I haven't mentioned all the names. I haven't mentioned Sharna once. You can go into the Discord.

Tommy: Yeah, the, um, yeah, so I tagged the wrong— sorry, on Discord, Rob, uh, I tagged the wrong Rob in Discord. Oh no, because Rob who contacted me about the T2 thing Rob's from the UK. Yeah, yeah, take the wrong Rob. So, uh, so Rob just— Rob on Instagram thinks I'm an asshole because I never got back to him with the link. Oh, that's annoying. And then he asked you to get onto the Discord recently. Anyway, I don't know, there was never a rule on no names Discord. It's like Bree knows the deal.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, everything's content. Definitely. Um, No, so I think that we definitely need— I mean, we could do an NFB channel.

Tommy: Oh yeah, an NFB channel.

Josh: Yeah, no, no, not a channel. A whole channel? Yeah.

Tommy: No, if you want to, if you have this set up—

Josh: I think some people just have to tag NFB. Nah, it's too confusing. But so then wouldn't everyone just be in the NFB all the time?

Tommy: No, but that's good. It's like Up Late. Everyone would like to watch Up Late together.

Josh: The content wasn't like, I wanna be able to use it on the show and I don't wanna be there.

Tommy: That's the point of NFB! It's not for the show. It's so good, but we're not allowed.

Josh: I just feel like potentially there is that fine line where it's like, nah, I think, I think you're looking for the escape. Yeah, because you want to. I want to talk about it.

Tommy: No, no, I. But that's the whole point.

Josh: Can we have an FB?

Tommy: Someone forgets the NFB.

Mason: No, every other channel's FB. Yeah, every other.

Josh: So, but what I'm saying is, well, I think you do.

Mason: I just feel like a dating channel. Like, I think you could have purpose-built channels for these smutty things? And then do we get—

Josh: We got that clean! Okay good, I thought you'd fucking shaved your beard but I just couldn't see it. No, it's looking great still going. He messaged last night said it's gonna go. No, don't say no. I actually reckon it's going Monday. Wait, it's gone Monday? Just can you at least wait till Grace gets here?

Tommy: Yeah, nah, nah, let's go on Monday. That's something a guy with a beard would do.

Josh: Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, it's definitely going now.

Mason: It's too annoying. It looks good though.

Tommy: It looks I think it actually looks good.

Josh: You're not sleeping properly.

Tommy: Sleep on your chin. So Mase got in the car on Tuesday and Bodie was in there, and first thing he said, uh, why have you got a beard? Good question. Good, great question. And compliment, I think.

Josh: Why is it? Why do you have it? I know I'm saying keep the beard, but why have you got it?

Mason: Mate, you wanted me to make an announcement.

Josh: He bullied him into a beard. He could have done anything. The announcement could have been.

Tommy: Yeah, he crumbled and said he's the slow cooker guy, but never did the slow cooker. This was easier because he just, if he just didn't shave.

Mason: I don't have to do anything.

Tommy: Yeah, it was more you didn't have to do anything.

Mason: It's more effort to not be the beard guy. Yeah.

Tommy: Yes. That is so true. It's more effort. Yeah. Because you have to shave.

Josh: Harry reckons he shaves every second day. I want to see Harry with a beard. Don't you think it would look great? That would be so funny. So. So what are you, what are you thinking, Sevz, with the beard?

Mason: I reckon, well, so on Monday it'll be 2 weeks. I know we already did the 14-day announcement.

Josh: Yeah, yeah, you actually worked it out.

Mason: Yes. Well, so I, I had, I hadn't shaved for a week prior to the announcement.

Josh: Could you keep the mo?

Tommy: Mo boy, poor Georgie boy.

Mason: Yeah, well, so I, so what I'm, what I'm, what I'm happy with is keeping around here. That's called a goatee.

Tommy: But I just, I, motorbike, that's motorbike ones on the side.

Mason: I have to get rid of the side. I can't, I I can't lie on the side of my face because it's just so irritating.

Josh: That's the sensitive skin, hey? Yeah, it's annoying.

Mason: A beard's bad for your skin. Who said? Me.

Tommy: Don't trust it, don't trust it, mate. You've hardly got a beard and it can't be that bad for your skin. Oh, it's hurting. I think you should keep it.

Josh: There's nothing funnier than Grace rocking up after a week with a pash rash from all of the beard.

Tommy: It hurts. Mine's going. I gotta get mine gone on Monday. The whole beard? Oh, just like down to a number 1, which is a lot less than this, like what you've got on your face now. It's like making me look a bit fat, I think. Like, not—

Josh: I needed the beard. It's not the beard. No, I actually, I think that's out there, but I think that that's the, um My strategy has always been if I'm blowing out, keep the beard. So it's sort of, we don't know which is which.

Tommy: Everyone is on to everybody who is fat and has a beard. I know.

Josh: Not tricking anyone. Not tricking anyone.

Tommy: If anything, you're going, yep, that's me.

Josh: But the thing is that I feel like when I'm trying to lose weight, what I'll tend to do is grow the beard, and then after the first week shave, and it gives me that extra boost where it's like, oh man, this is working. Whereas like half of it's come from just trimming my neck.

Tommy: I mean, neckbeards are a sign of someone's given up. Like, even if you haven't, or it just, it, it feels like that. I know I feel like I've given up when I've got a neckbeard.

Josh: It's, yeah, they come very quickly, you know.

Tommy: I do, they do. I actually thought it was when we were doing our home setups where we're looking at the computer screen and you're seeing yourself a lot more. I was noticing how quickly my hair— sorry, unrelatable for Mason, you and I, Josh. Sorry, you guys— how quickly your beard or your neck beard grows. Like, it's so quick. It's more—

Josh: it's the first thing to grow for me. Yeah, really?

Tommy: That's so annoying. It's definitely not in your head. How is your head?

Josh: Yeah, well, sure.

Mason: No, your head's solid. Your head, your hair growth. Good.

Josh: It's actually pretty impressive. It's coming back.

Mason: I think the back is where it's, um, really picked up. It's real.

Josh: Yeah, it's the classic, um, who's the guy off Seinfeld?

Tommy: Oh, not Kramer. Um, Jerry, uh, the little fat man. Wow. What's his name?

George: Little guy. Costanza.

Josh: Yeah, that's it. George. Yeah, it's going like a little bit. Yeah, no, I was thinking, I actually think that my receding hairline is is actually just my hairline. And so I'm thinking—

Mason: Isn't that what happens?

Josh: Beg your pardon? It's just receding.

Mason: It's your hairline's receding.

Tommy: Hairlines are slow, which makes you think that. I reckon I was looking at photos of me when I was younger and it's slight, like a slight movement. It's like, what are they saying, that the mountains, you know, the Alps are growing in height. Every million years, like slowly, slowly.

Josh: Well, yeah, I think that I'll, I might grow it one more time.

Tommy: I think it was good. Look at the photos from New York. How young and free were we, Bri, in New York?

Josh: It was a different time, wasn't it?

Tommy: I said we'd fucked up before realising the commitment we'd made to the show. That's, that's youth.

Josh: And you, I mean, the thing was, in my defense, The reason why I look so good in New York is I just spent 3 and a bit months traveling. Yeah, no work, walking every day. There's nothing healthy about a tan, but it can make a, you know, an 8 or 9.

Tommy: But you're also, yeah, getting that vit D, like just enjoying yourself. Less stress, less cortisol. Yeah, seriously. Yeah, you look like a guy had been on holiday for 3 months.

Josh: What's so funny, Sam?

Mason: I just don't think getting D. I don't— Vit D, I said. Oh, you— Okay. I heard getting the D.

Josh: Did you hear getting the D?

George: I heard Vit D. Okay, great.

Josh: Okay, well, that's all good.

Mason: We were talking about cakes and D, so.

Tommy: Not a stretch.

Josh: Yeah. You know, so I think that there is— No, but the other thing too is my hair got very blonde because we were in the sun so much.

Tommy: God, some good times.

George: What, what, what, Georgie boy? Nah, no, no, nothing. So have you got ginger hair? Nah, it's brown. Okay. Just with some gold flecks in. Where is this coming from?

Mason: Where is the thing about George having ginger hair coming from?

Josh: I feel like he mentioned it the other day.

Tommy: I called him a red head.

George: You were describing the sunset and I said, and you said it's like George's hair. And I said, what, red? Yeah.

Tommy: Oh, you said it's red. Yeah, I just think it was golden. A bit golden. Like, look, If you cut to a close shot, yeah, it looks red. The mo looks red. The mo is— isn't that weird? People get red pubic hair but darker. Oh, really? You know, it's like people get red beards, but then they've got brown hair. The real just mix. Yeah, mix of the dice. Is my beard going grey?

Josh: Nah, not to the point that you're— it's nice though. Yeah, it does look good.

George: I do like a bit of silver beards.

Josh: Yeah, a bit of salt and pepper vibe.

Mason: It's good when it's like Mikey's beard's great.

Tommy: Yeah, but it's— there's that period with patchy and then it goes sort of like, you know, you've done the full head of tips. Oh, got an update on the Phillip Island. Phillip Island?

George: Could that be your dad?

Josh: Richard Jansen? No way. Do you reckon? It has to be. Is that Lynn? Hang on, here we go. Pull your jeans up.

Tommy: Hang on. Is that your mama?

Josh: Yeah, let's have a look. Dang it. Yeah, yeah, it's fucking Richard Jansen.

Tommy: That's great. Oh well, we know where he is.

Josh: Richard Jansen, represent.

Tommy: Yeah, and Lynn's in a bomber.

Josh: Yeah, puffer. Yeah, it looks like they're going to junior footy. Oh my God, she's gonna—

Tommy: she's gonna— your mum's got a packet of oranges under her arm.

Josh: Um, oh, one thing I was thinking How can we, with all the stuff that you're doing with the daily videos, can we make them like a YouTube thing? Like, I feel like you're putting so much effort into them. Yeah. Well, like getting thumbnails, like actually trying to build the YouTube channel and like all that stuff.

Tommy: It's good because most of them are timeless, so I can, we can just start up. Like we got 15 to upload. The only problem is there's 2 in there which were vertical video, which I think we can just upload anyway.

Josh: Yeah, you could do it.

Tommy: 15, 3 weeks. Thanks, George.

Josh: Um, any update on, uh, your trip away, the week away?

Mason: It's happening, it's locked in. Do you need to—

Josh: any brand integrations that you need to do?

Tommy: I reckon we do it tomorrow. Let's call this, call this a day. Um, I gotta sit on it. I'm gonna sit on a cake.

Josh: So what's it—

Mason: so that's been— it's been a seamless process. Okay.

Tommy: Deep dive in tomorrow on into what you're doing.

Mason: We can do it tomorrow, but just quickly, Rod is making sure there's a smoothie machine there for me.

Tommy: Oh my God, baby's happy, happy baby.

Josh: Oh, it's ridiculous. Yeah, okay, all right, um, it's a daily talk show. Let's do this. 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.

Tommy: Okay, I thought that was George.

Josh: We'll see you tomorrow for Weekend Banter. Have a good rest of your Saturday, guys. See you guys.
