- –A long, detailed story was told about a chaotic Berlin Airbnb experience where the booked guests had to share living space with the host and ultimately abandoned the booking, losing their money.
- –Tommy narrated a viral prank video in which a plumber covers for a couple hiding in a box to avoid being caught by a partner coming home unexpectedly.
- –The show's 'megaphone' naming-rights sponsorship was explained: the going rate was $160 before Ben Fordham's paid week begins, rising to $255 afterward, alongside a shout-out for current sponsor Grexon Leather and Wood.
Questions this episode answers
What deal did the Gronk 'Seb' make to get a free stay at Rod's Airbnb?
In exchange for staying at the property for about a week, Seb agreed to give a shout-out on the show and produce some photo and/or video content of the place, with Tommy and Josh offering to help by filming a sit-down interview or a mock real-estate style video.
What happened in the awkward Berlin Airbnb story told on the episode?
The booking turned out to be for a shared space rather than a private apartment, the host had odd house rules (including a sign about sitting down to use the toilet) and continued living there during the stay; the uncomfortable guests eventually abandoned the booking, lost their money, and went back to stay with friends instead.
How does The Daily Talk Show's 'megaphone' sponsorship pricing work?
The megaphone is a paid shout-out/naming-rights slot; as described on this episode, the price was $160 for a late Sunday bid before Ben Fordham's full paid week began, with the price rising to $255 for the sponsorship slot after Fordham's week.
Episode TranscriptShow
Josh: The Daily Talk Show. It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 746.
Tommy: It's weekend banter. Happy Sunday, you absolute gronks. Clap in the end of the week.
Josh: Start of the week.
Tommy: Whichever one you prefer. How are we all feeling?
Josh: Very good. Great to be here. Wanted to make an apology.
Tommy: What did you say yesterday?
Josh: Well, I got on the Discord.
Unknown: Yeah.
Josh: And first of all, I mentioned, you know, Bree's psychologist appointment sort of out of school, went into details about, you know, some domain names and things like that.
Tommy: Okay.
Josh: Yeah. And so I wanted to apologise about that.
Tommy: Right.
Josh: There should be some sort of privacy there. Discord as well. I did mention about one Gronkh who is currently on the dating scene. Okay, I mean, mention some stuff around that.
Tommy: I mean, I mean, we, we are powerful when helping people find love. Look at Seb's— look at Seb, the weekend away he's gonna have with his new flame. Flame of how many days? You're surely on the day count still.
Unknown: Oh, when was it? It was April 11th.
Tommy: Okay, so you do the math, uh, or Siri can do the math.
Unknown: It's like, yeah.
Tommy: Which, whichever one you had, you had to count up to about 30 days.
Unknown: Yeah.
Tommy: And then you finished it.
Unknown: Any maths beyond that, it's just—
Tommy: So yesterday I kind of held off based on wanting to understand at a sort of more granular level about the weekend away that you're going to— a week, sorry, one week. Mm-hmm. One week, 7 days that you're going to have away with Grace when she comes. Melbourne to live. I mean, you've made some commitments. Are you up for sticking to them? Yeah. And no, this is not Grace. The commitments to Rod.
Unknown: Yeah, no, no, definitely, definitely. I think it's going to be great.
Tommy: Can you recap what you get, what you've— what the deal is that you've closed?
Unknown: Well, so yeah, in return for staying at Rod's place, their needs.
Josh: It's his Airbnb, it's not just Rod's. Rod's house. Do you know if you got the whole place?
Unknown: Yeah, I think we— yeah.
Tommy: Oh my God, so we did a show, we did— I was filming, um, an interview series for a client in Fitzroy, and this is someone who I, who I know who organised it. She was the producing person behind it, and she— I saw her that night And she said, fuck, I got to this place and I thought it's too good to be true because I thought I had the whole place. It was a sharing, sharing. So, and she hadn't said how many people were going to be on this film shoot. She told them there's going to be a film shoot in the property. So I was like transparent. Yeah, but not to the, to the degree of how many people, people coming and going all day. And the woman was home.
Josh: Yeah, that's awkward.
Tommy: I've done that too.
Unknown: You've done that?
Tommy: What do you mean?
Unknown: Like, the first Airbnb I ever got was in Berlin, and I was staying with my mate Harry, who's Australian, but he knows how to speak German because he's been over there for a few years. And I was like, mate, can you get me an Airbnb? Me and Hannah, we're over there. Can you get us an Airbnb for the next week? And so he was on the site and he was like going through the things and like, yeah, this one looks good. But it was all in German. And And we thought it was great. Had it like a corner balcony, was pretty cheap. Got there, like rocked up and the guy was showing us around. And then we like walked in. He's like, walked into the toilet and there was like this weird picture there. And he's like, one rule, boys, you have to sit down to wee.
Unknown: What?
Unknown: I was like, okay.
Tommy: That is bizarre. You can't tell me what to do.
Unknown: Yeah. And I was like, okay, that's a bit weird. And then kept showing us—
Tommy: My camera gets the best angle. Yeah.
Josh: Your bumhole. No accents, please.
Unknown: That was fun. And then he showed us into our room like, okay, this is pretty good. And then he just went out and just sat on the couch and we were like sitting in the— literally just both of us were sitting on the bed for like an hour just going, you go, you go talk to him.
Josh: Oh, no. And what were you going to say?
Unknown: We're just going to be like— it was like, took us an hour. We literally sat there and was like, what do we do? Like, we've booked into this place for like a week or whatever, 3 nights.
Tommy: And big difference between a week and 3 nights.
Unknown: I think it was a week. Yeah. And then so she's like, go, just go ask him. So I like walked out into the lounge room, just sitting there watching TV.
Josh: And I'm like, haha.
Tommy: No laughing accents.
Josh: Absolutely no laughing accents.
Tommy: Laughing accents are very bad.
Josh: Oh, it's a comedy.
Unknown: And I just went out and I said, hey, so are you, how long are you going to be here for? Are you going to, are you staying here? He's like, yeah, like, you've booked that room. I was like, oh, it's been a bit of a misunderstanding.
Tommy: I'm so sorry.
Unknown: And then we had, we just like went, we can't stay here. We're going to go back to our mate's house. And we just lost all the money.
Tommy: And we, what were you planning on doing at the joint?
Josh: Yeah, why couldn't you do it? Was it the pissing sitting down?
Unknown: Just didn't want to stay with a random guy. We'd rather stay with our friends.
Tommy: I've stayed with great randos.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: Josh stayed with Mike, who I said yesterday is great value.
Josh: And yeah, no. So, and he showed me around Pixar when he was working there.
Unknown: Yeah, that's nice. Yeah, no, mate, no problems.
Unknown: But we will.
Tommy: No, but what's your problem with people? What's your problem with hosts?
Josh: I love that it's like, no problems, but Hannah and I will have to leave. Like, mate, you obviously understand that we can't stay with you.
Unknown: Because we were leaving our friend's house out of like politeness. We're like, okay, I think feeling like we've overstayed our welcome. We've been there for like a week now. We've got one more week in Berlin. I reckon we should go get our own place. And they're like, no, don't worry about it, stay, stay.
Tommy: That's on your mate that booked it, to be honest. If you didn't book it.
Unknown: I know. So then, so then we got to the Airbnb and we're like, we've got to go, we're not, we're not staying here. Called him back up like, can we come back? Came back and stayed, stayed in their house for another week.
Tommy: But yeah.
Josh: Wow.
Tommy: All right, well, I don't think this is going to happen to you, Sebbs. I think this is a whole house.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: If, if not, there's If anything, there's too much room and there's bunk beds for Josh and I. Yeah, there's legit bunk beds in there.
Josh: So maybe the final, the final day we could come down and help with some drone footage.
Tommy: That's right. We can just take my drone. I don't care if you crash it.
Unknown: Oh, I don't know about that.
Tommy: It's on the way.
Josh: It's a setup.
Unknown: That's a big setup.
Josh: Yeah. Yeah.
Tommy: But you would have to repair it and pay full price. No. So what's So what's the sort of comms been with, with Rod since taking over? I mean, since taking on the deal that he's offered?
Unknown: Yeah, I mean, so the deal is in return for staying there, we need to do a— I need to do a shout out on the show and also produce a bit of content of the place.
Josh: Yeah. So what's a bit of content? What does that, what does that actually mean?
Unknown: Well, so this is what's a bit loose. So, I mean, I think it's a variety of like a couple of photos, a couple of video, like just, just, I don't know, they're all going to happen on the last night.
Tommy: You know how your phone, like Bodhi somehow gets into my photos and then presses this button and it makes a movie out of the photos?
Josh: Like live photos?
Tommy: No, it's like a setting in there that has like highlights. Highlights.
Josh: Oh, yes.
Tommy: And then it puts a soundtrack to it.
Unknown: I could do that.
Tommy: That's actually funny. I'll make a deal with you.
Unknown: Okay.
Tommy: Because I don't want to disappoint Rod. No. Sounds like he's an absolute— like, I jumped on and saw the price of a week at that joint. Yeah, it's not cheap, dude. Yeah, it's not cheap at all.
Josh: How about this?
Tommy: I'll make a video. I will edit the video. You just need to get the footage, okay? And we do a sit-down interview, you and I, where you're telling me about the place.
Josh: Can we do a real estate style video on another day? So not for this one, but I like the idea of the gimbal out. I actually know about this.
Tommy: George presenting.
Josh: That's exactly— I reckon, Rod, if you can— so outside of, you know, the Serbs can do his own deal, but what we would like to do as a deal is a— we'll go down and shoot for a day or whatever. Maybe we stay one evening.
Tommy: One night. Yeah.
Josh: And we can get Georgie boy. You can be wearing a suit. I love it. We can gimbal the whole thing. But But you've also got to— like, I was watching, like, that sort of Architect's Digest.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Josh: Just like a couple of nights ago. And they go into crazy amounts of detail, like, you know, the marble. I like the idea of you bullshitting the whole thing. So all the materials made up, this, this wood imported from Spain. Yeah, this wood's all from the Titanic.
Tommy: There's nothing, nothing true.
Unknown: Yeah.
Tommy: Other than the visuals that you're seeing. Yeah, I love that.
Unknown: I love the idea.
Tommy: I think it'd be a great video. But in saying that, the first video, I can make it a part of my TJ Daily series.
Josh: I see what you've done.
Tommy: And I think you just, you have to think about what you need to tell me.
Josh: How long until a client video becomes a TJ Daily?
Tommy: Whoever's willing to pay. We got the first 500. If you want to pay $500 for the megaphone, you get a video thrown in on it.
Josh: So you're looking after the megaphone. You won Kill Your Friends.
Unknown: Yeah.
Tommy: So I'm in control of this bad boy. No one touch it. No one touch it.
Josh: Do you know how it works? Because I've already told you off and not. Yeah. So when you use it for comic value, you need to be putting the megaphone to the microphone.
Tommy: I definitely will. But you haven't yet.
Josh: I've never seen you.
Tommy: There's nothing comical about what I was me just sort of speaking into it. Um, I will do it later. I yelled at George off mic with it, had the impact I needed and, and I wanted. And so the video, you've committed to that. Do you feel that you've overcommitted?
Unknown: Um, no, I, I just— yeah, I mean, the, yeah, the video, the video stuff, I mean, I, I can't feel film and, um, really edit at all.
Tommy: So you've had— you've got an iPhone 11?
Unknown: Yeah, I can do the photos.
Tommy: Does he want photos or does he want video?
Unknown: So content.
Josh: Okay, you're gonna do a blog post? Imagine if he blogs it. You would do that?
Tommy: How about Grace? What's Grace's ability? He can write. What, what's Grace's?
Unknown: Hey, you can film. What do you mean?
Josh: Oh no, you can do it.
Unknown: And you've set up the C200 every day.
Tommy: You've edited a client video for us. I had to go in and fix it, but it's—
Josh: You did well.
Tommy: No, you did. I think you're underestimating your skill.
Josh: There's a storey you've created. You can do this stuff.
Unknown: Definitely.
Tommy: How about you film, do selects, and then I'll cut it like into one of my videos.
Josh: Okay. With you there. The cutting to the music special. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tommy: I actually think it's a funny video if you just did it from your highlights in your iPhone.
Unknown: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tommy: It's actually not bad. Sometimes I'm impressed.
Josh: Could you do— Could Georgie Boy do a Hump Day replay of the week? So if you filmed a bunch of stuff, that is awesome. I mean, how about an integration using some of it? So with Seb's not being in the studio, rather than the guest bit at the end, you can be like, and here's a highlights package of Seb's.
Unknown: Yeah, definitely.
Josh: And so you need to create, I think, uh, Georgie boy, you need to create a shot list for Seb's of the types of content that you want. So I think it's like a slow-mo shot of him and Grace running on the beach.
Unknown: Okay, lock that one in.
Tommy: What I would like is actually Stock footage, stock footage vibes from Airbnb. Yeah, that's the series. It's like couple in front— we can write the scenes— couple in front of fire drinking red wine without holding your nose.
Josh: And so the, the Blake Gowrie, like, what's their Instagram?
Unknown: Oh, so it's Beach House Blake Gowrie, and they've already— he's already— Rod's already put content up on there. Yeah, and it looks great. It just looks— yeah, it looks stunning. So I just— yeah, I mean, I'm just cautious about that delivery because I just want to make sure it's upholding the value.
Tommy: Yeah, well, Amy and I are looking to where we could go for our anniversary, our wedding anniversary this year.
Josh: So that would be July. July. So wedding anniversary in July. Was it July you got married?
Tommy: July.
Josh: That's right.
Tommy: Yeah. And then went away August.
Unknown: Yeah.
Josh: Um, do you remember when you were like first, uh, in the relationship where you would count months and that was anniversary? I remember people get very critical when you call it an anniversary. It's like our 9-month anniversary.
Tommy: Absolutely not. An anniversary is once every 12 months.
Josh: Did you do that, Georgie boy?
Unknown: Yeah, definitely.
Tommy: I did too. There was a period, there was a— it must— I reckon it's only been the last 5 years or something that someone There was some good comms around it not being—
Josh: I wanted to apologise to George just quickly because my screensaver just came on because I, I've criticised Georgie boy a lot about the screensaver. I kept my display on but I didn't change my screensaver settings.
Unknown: Oh Jesus.
Josh: And so you, um, so you did the whole every month got Amy something or what was that?
Tommy: Oh no, no, absolutely not. A bit older in that relationship. It was more the younger relationships that you'd be celebrating 3 months.
Unknown: Yeah.
Tommy: Big one. 6 months.
Unknown: The big one.
Unknown: 1 week.
Tommy: 1 week.
Josh: The big celebration.
Unknown: I mean, Seb's celebrated his 20th day. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Tommy: It was— I mean, you've lost count though, so there isn't that day count that stops.
Unknown: Yeah, yeah.
Tommy: It's after—
Unknown: I think we're at about 50. We're almost at 50th. Oh, that's— I just Googled it.
Tommy: It gets weirder and weirder if you know the day. The amount of days.
Unknown: Yeah.
Josh: What's weird is, TJ, you're slightly soft on your camera, by the way. It's, it's focused on the, um, it's focused on the, uh, the microphone. Okay, that's crispy.
Unknown: There we go.
Tommy: Someone, someone's messed with it. Um, I just didn't fix the setting. This is a, this is an interesting one. From the day I've met Amy, there is, there is, there's not a day I haven't spoken to her.
Unknown: Sure.
Tommy: Which I think it's probably you two said.
Josh: It sounds poetic, but I know, I know, I know.
Tommy: But trust me, Amy thought it was too. You can get it through. I said, um, from the day I— from the day— from the moment I've met you, I haven't stopped this— stop thinking about you at least once a day. I think I dropped the last bit, and then she thought it was real sweet.
Josh: When was it? Was this the 6-month mark, or is this like just now?
Unknown: 2 weeks.
Josh: 2 weeks.
Tommy: 2 weeks. No, no, no, but it is, it is a weird thing that you meet somebody and you just every fucking day they're in your mind. It's kind of cool.
Josh: It's cute. I mean, I feel like Seb's like being in the experience he's in right now. What have you learned about love? Just give us a bit of some poetry.
Tommy: Hang on, hang on, he might not have said he loves it, so let's just keep it.
Josh: Have you said—
Tommy: No, no, don't ask that question. That's a personal question. Just let it, let it just happen. Let it all just happen. What have you learned about love? Let's just go there.
Unknown: Um, oh, it's— I think, I think it's just, it's just lovely having some— no, it's lovely having someone there. Like, I just— it's, it all— like, it's, it's your— yeah, it's sort of like your bet— it's a best friend that you can just talk about whatever you want to and you can just hang out with, and it doesn't— there's no there's no risk. Like, you can just pick up the phone and call them and FaceTime anytime. Like, I think, I think that's the bit that's the nicest. It's just like out of the blue, I'm just like, ah, accessibility.
Josh: Accessible, like, just great accessibility. Just having access is great access.
Tommy: It's like, it's fulfilling a need.
Josh: Like, Amy Insurance will answer the phone within 2 weeks.
Tommy: Is that their deal?
Josh: It's very quick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, if that's— I'm just— if, if that's what you're seeking, that's all I'm saying. On the person—
Unknown: on the—
Tommy: also, that won't last. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's fulfilling and neat. Like, if you're looking at what that does for, for you, it's like, it's— you, you feel wanted, which is a lovely— when, when you actually are wanted, how beautiful that is.
Josh: It's super nice. So what else, what else, what else have you learned about love?
Unknown: Um, I don't know, I'll probably learn, I'll probably have more of an experience when we get to see each other in person.
Tommy: Yeah, yeah. What have you, I guess it's what have you learned about love over the phone and FaceTime?
Josh: Yeah, that's what so far he said. She picks up, she picks up.
Tommy: That's all he's got to work with.
Josh: Anything I know, you've got it, surely.
Tommy: I think, all right, it's not physical touch, it's not You know, energy of someone next to you.
Unknown: It is, it's that words of affirmation stuff. Like, it's just, I love just being able to talk to her and just like, it's, yeah, it's just the best thing. Like, just, it's just being able to, you know, talk about whatever or laugh about whatever. It's great.
Tommy: Yeah, it is nice.
Unknown: Beautiful.
Tommy: You've been with, um, Hannah for quite some time.
Josh: Just had your anniversary.
Unknown: Yeah, 7 years. That's right, 7 years.
Tommy: Far out.
Unknown: Flown.
Tommy: Hannah's grandma's 100th birthday.
Unknown: Yeah, crazy.
Tommy: A couple of days ago.
Josh: I know. She looks great.
Tommy: She does, man. She looks great.
Josh: Yeah.
Unknown: Yeah. My gran, my great-grandmother lived till 100 too.
Josh: Yeah.
Tommy: My grandpa.
Unknown: You're going to live over 200 or something.
Unknown: Yeah.
Tommy: It is phenomenal. My, like, my grandpa's 100th birthday, he was cracking jokes. It was so good. Died a year, 8 months later. But yeah, but he was in good nick, like in good nick for a 100-year-old. But it's like you can go downhill in fucking 2 seconds when you're that age. But he was, you know, chipper, and he was— made a joke I thought was potentially a bit edgy. But he told this, but he was a great storyteller. I'm so, so annoyed because I had an iPhone then and I didn't film it, and I was going to, and I just didn't. I was just enjoying it.
Unknown: Did he have like a big party or something?
Tommy: Nah, there was only probably 10, 15 people.
Unknown: When my grandnan's 100th, there was like so many people there.
Josh: You call it great. Yeah, would you call it grandnan?
Unknown: Grandnan.
Tommy: Grandnan.
Josh: You couldn't decide between gran or nan? A grandnan?
Unknown: I think it's like grandnan, like Like, so great grandma.
Tommy: Was it your great grandmother though?
Unknown: Yeah. It was. Yeah.
Tommy: So, yeah, that makes sense.
Unknown: My nan's mum.
Josh: What did you—
Tommy: Your nan's mum.
Josh: Yeah.
Unknown: We just call her gran nan.
Josh: Gran nan.
Unknown: I like it.
Tommy: I love that. I thought you were referring to your grandmother as gran nan.
Unknown: Yeah, we had a— She had a huge party. It was like probably like 100 people there, I reckon.
Unknown: Really?
Unknown: And just weird looking around being like, geez, don't know any of these people, but we're somehow related. It is weird. And there's like girls there that are like semi trying to pick up.
Tommy: Too dang— That's dangerous.
Josh: What do you mean?
Unknown: I don't know.
Unknown: Just like bringing the vibe to the party.
Unknown: Keen for it.
Tommy: I'm here for it.
Unknown: Just trying to look hot and stuff and just like, I'm pretty sure we're cousins or something.
Josh: And that's great.
Unknown: Probably too far apart to matter, but there must be a little bit.
Josh: So it's sort of almost like a family reunion.
Unknown: Yeah.
Josh: And there was just sort of like, there's like a sexual tension in the room.
Unknown: Yeah, there was a bit. Not for me. Not for me.
Josh: But were you projecting?
Tommy: No.
Josh: So, they were wearing nice dresses and you're like, ah, can't believe you've rocked up in this little number, hey? It's like, you know, we're second cousins.
Unknown: I was like, what?
Josh: And no, keep going, George. This is interesting.
Unknown: Yeah. It was just a bit weird.
Josh: So, it was a— But I don't understand the specifics that— So, they're obviously doing something. It was just like a flirty nature.
Unknown: Yeah, just flirty nature. Just like, it was like at a house. It was a 100th birthday. You know, everyone's just like, no one really knows each other.
Josh: Any specific examples?
Unknown: No, I can't remember. They're just, they're just like acting as if they're at a bar or something, like just like flirting, flirting with people.
Tommy: With you? With who? How do you know if someone's flirting? This is good convo.
Unknown: I don't know. There's just— you just get the vibe.
Josh: Could you? I mean, some people put off—
Tommy: some people put off a sexual energy.
Unknown: Yeah, it's like, why would they wear— I don't know, probably not PC anymore.
Josh: No, no, no, this is as good as your, um, your Tones and Icon.
Tommy: And she's leaving the country after that show.
Unknown: Yeah, come on. They were just putting—
Josh: what do you hate about women? He has one—
Unknown: what are you drinking?
Unknown: Mountain goat?
Josh: Whatever, and he became— Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Unknown: No further comments.
Tommy: They're just saying what they were told.
Josh: It's our first no comment on the show.
Tommy: I'm taking the fifth on that.
Unknown: But just about Grand Nan, she did live, she lived at her house till she was like 102.
Tommy: Wow.
Unknown: Maybe until she died. I think it was like—
Unknown: That's solid.
Tommy: At 102.
Unknown: Yeah, I think she died like 104, maybe like that.
Tommy: Did she get the letter from the Queen?
Josh: Yeah.
Unknown: Yeah, so a bit of admin to get that. Yeah, to be honest. Hannah's nonna got that letter from the Queen. Letter from ScoMo. He sends out letters now.
Unknown: Really?
Tommy: ScoMo does.
Unknown: Gladys?
Unknown: Would you want one?
Unknown: Gladys sent out a letter.
Tommy: Was this in New South Wales?
Josh: Yeah.
Unknown: Would you prefer one?
Unknown: Yeah, Sydney.
Josh: It'd be weird if Gladys sent one.
Tommy: No, because I was thinking Canberra and then I guess Byron is New South Wales. Okay, but I'm trying to work out where the grandma, granddad was.
Unknown: Dan Andrews would send one out. He probably would.
Unknown: Would you rather one from Dan or ScoMo?
Unknown: Dan, Dan, definitely.
Tommy: Uh, Dan's lost a bit of weight. There's some photos of him walking about. I was looking at the paper this morning.
Josh: Fat shaming going on on the show lately, projecting.
Tommy: Looking at— yes, definitely. Um, he's definitely— I mean, I want to know what he's done.
Josh: He's been making homemade souvlaki. He has, hasn't he?
Tommy: Yeah, real one.
Unknown: I love that.
Josh: Yeah, he's great on Instagram and Facebook.
Tommy: He does. He's got a—
Unknown: gets around it.
Tommy: Let's get his social manager. Yeah, because it's not, it's not him, mate. If you think that's him—
Josh: no, the official letter thing is fun. Like, the idea of doing official letters. Oh yeah, could we do like— what would we offer official letters for?
Tommy: Um, fuck, I mean, new job.
Josh: You get a new job, we'll send you a letter.
Tommy: Uh, or is it just we will be willing to references reference where you reference even if you've had nothing to do with. That's a Gronkh move.
Unknown: The Gronkh move.
Josh: Yeah. But Paige and Andy did a very funny— remember they got the guy to do a over-the-phone reference. They called a random dude and said, hey, oh, like, mate, I need a reference. Yeah.
Tommy: So it's like, yeah, prank call, but someone willing to— it's— that's the similar one of there's this viral video where a guy, a guy. So they're setting up a plumber, right? Plumber is doing this job at this home and this guy's home and he's speaking to— oh no, sorry, it's the girl. So the girl's home. So be like, let's use you guys. Let's use Bree.
Josh: Is this the start of a porno? Is this what this is?
Tommy: So Bree's home. You're out at work. The plumber's there.
Josh: Sure.
Tommy: Bree has her other partner that you don't know about, Tyrone, pop over. Tyrone pops over, and then there's a big box in the lounge room, like a huge box. It's like almost an appliance that was unloaded and the plumber's working on it.
Josh: Like a dishwasher?
Tommy: And then it could be a dishwasher box, like a big box. And Bree and Tyrone are like, is this a current affair? Well, this is a real video where they're pranking a plumber.
Josh: Okay, sure. Okay, okay.
Tommy: And so They're hanging out, Tyrone and Bree, and the plumber's doing his thing. And then all of a sudden they realise that the boyfriend, Josh, you're coming home. Like, oh my God, oh my God, we got to hide. And so they get into the big box in the lounge room and the plumber's in there and he's like, and the woman says, don't, don't say anything. We're not home. We haven't been home. And so they jump in to this box and the plumber's like, Oh my God. And so the, the, what you're wondering is, is this plumber going to back up the storey that they're not there? And so the guy comes in, he's like, oh, I just left something. I'm going to get my jacket. Oh, has someone been here? And so you tell that, you know, that the guy, Josh, is— you're in on it because it's all a joke on the plumber. And this plumber flat out lies. No, I haven't seen them. Like, just That's such a solid—
Josh: Well, I feel like if you're the plumber, that's the least resistance, isn't it?
Tommy: Well, he was just like, nah, I don't know. It's like, aren't you with the— They're in a box right there.
Josh: But it's like you with the ceiling at your place, you know, the whole roof. Oh yeah, I didn't tell the new homeowner.
Tommy: Didn't tell the building inspector that the roof had caved in when he asked me, oh, what's going on over there?
Josh: I don't know.
Tommy: Bit different.
Josh: I didn't know that he actually asked you.
Tommy: No, he just referenced like, ah, it must be, there's no water there. Looks it, but there's nothing moist over there, so it must be fine.
Josh: So it didn't feel like a question.
Tommy: Yeah, it wasn't, what's happening over there, buddy? Because I reckon I would have told her. Anyway, this guy's like, oh, she must be home now. And, and, oh, I'm going to call her. And the phone is in the box in her pocket. And so he, you see him just start to fucking, he's, the plumber's like, oh no, fucking no. Somehow they ended up— it was in the box and you see him like get angry. Josh gets angry looking at the plumber thinking, she's in the box. And he opens up the box and then puts his hand in, pulls out the phone, like, oh, she left her phone in there. And then the guy walks over and looks in the box and they're gone. Somehow they'd done this trick where they got the couple out of the box. And so really, he would— his heart would have been going, thinking, I'm fucked.
Josh: I'm not gonna have to watch that video now.
Tommy: You should watch it. It's good though, because you look at the plumber. What would you do if you were the plumber?
Josh: You'd probably do what, what he did. Yeah, I reckon I would do it because the thing is, it's like, who, who's paying you?
Tommy: Yeah, true. I don't know, risky, both of them.
Josh: Yeah, I know it's risky.
Tommy: I think it's quite easy to sort of push somebody into a scenario in that high-pressure environment. It's like Hamish and Andy.
Josh: I feel like watching Punk'd tonight.
Tommy: It's good.
Unknown: I watched one recently of, um, Kim Kardashian because Bree's on the couch and she's just not keen on that.
Josh: She said she wants to watch something funny. We've already agreed she doesn't want to watch MasterClass tonight. Yeah, not another lifetime one. We're going to watch a movie.
Tommy: Yeah, great. Watch, uh, there's, um, Jeffrey Epstein, um, the rapist doco on Netflix.
Unknown: That's a bit heavy. No, a bit heavy.
Unknown: Is it about his death and stuff?
Tommy: Nah, nah, it's, uh, no, it's, it doesn't feel that heavy.
Josh: Rom-com.
Tommy: He thought it was. He was a sick fuck, dude. He was one of the sickest. Anyway, as we, um, talk about sick fucks, let's transition to the microphone because I do that all the time as well.
Unknown: It's all right.
Tommy: Microphone. I don't know what Why do I do that? Why does everyone do that?
Josh: Phone. I think it's because it's a phone.
Unknown: I don't.
Unknown: All right, George.
Tommy: So I'm going to— so we have a megaphone naming rights sponsor, which we want to give them some more love because tomorrow it's over to Ben Fordham.
Josh: Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Tommy: Full week paid for, a full week. He paid upfront.
Josh: Thank you, Jeffrey Epstein. Too dark.
Tommy: So here we go. The— our megaphone sponsor is Grexon Leather and Wood. Anton sells handcrafted 100% full grain leather belts, wallets, and accessories. Check out Grexon Leather and Wood on Instagram or his website grexon.com. I bought a wallet. Yeah, bought one.
Unknown: Oh, that's so exciting.
Tommy: Technically Amy bought it, so this— I sent from the Daily Talk Show to Amy.
Unknown: I was I was expecting you to say, technically, the company bought it.
Tommy: No, Amy, um, I sent Amy a message on Instagram saying, uh, what do you think of these? Do you like this? I would love one. It's just a leathery, sort of a, um, tan leather, uh, sent it to Amy and then she wrote back saying, bought it.
Josh: Great.
Unknown: Really? That's quick.
Tommy: I was worried because I was like, do you like that one? Because it wasn't the one that I necessarily was going— I did, I just messaged her one and said, I'm thinking about getting one of these. But I'm happy either way, whatever it is, they all look great. This was just like a nice tan leather. I mean, my card situation is abominable. It's that, that's all it is. It's horrible.
Josh: It's what?
Tommy: Abominable. You heard me, I said it right.
Unknown: Abominable.

Tommy: Are we jumping?
Josh: Yeah, I think it's not jumping, we're going from—
