At a glance

From this episode’s transcript.

  • –A broken garage door coil led Tommy to reflect on how privileged it is to have a drive-in garage, especially with a toddler, after safety issues at a previous apartment and a slippery driveway incident at his son's birthday party.
  • –N95 and similar masks are generally designed for single or limited use (roughly a day or one session), not for weeks of continuous wear.
  • –Melbourne was weighing a possible move to Stage 4 COVID-19 lockdown, which Tommy compared to New Zealand's stricter lockdown (1,000m movement radius, most businesses closed) at the time of recording.
  • –Rumours and inside information (e.g., leaked reality TV show results or lockdown dates) can be unreliable — one anecdote involved someone losing a large bet after being given false insider info about a reality show winner.
  • –Hosts Josh and Tommy disagree over whether Melbourne's eventual lockdown stage would actually happen on predicted dates, drawing parallels to a previous false terror-attack rumour.

Questions this episode answers

How often should you replace or change a face mask like an N95?

According to Tommy on the show, many masks including N95s are designed for single use or a single session (around a day), not for weeks of continuous wear.

What is Stage 4 lockdown and how does it differ from Stage 3?

Tommy describes Stage 4 (as seen in New Zealand) as a complete lockdown limiting movement to about 1,000 metres from home, with only supermarkets and hospitals operating, compared to the less strict Stage 3 Melbourne was under at the time.

What is Sovereign Hill?

Sovereign Hill is a preserved gold rush-era historical park in Ballarat, Victoria, featuring 1800s buildings, a working mine, gold bar melting demonstrations, and a lolly shop, which Josh visited on a school camp.

Josh: It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 791.

0:07

Tommy: What's happening, guys? What's going on? Happy Hump Day. Once you finish this show, make sure you go cheque out Hump Day replay. Ep's just dropped.

0:15

Josh: Yeah. With Paris Humphrey.

0:17

Tommy: Paris Humphrey opened strong with earwax chat.

0:21

Josh: Oh, really? How'd you— Oh, you've already listened.

0:23

Tommy: Well, I only just because it's just come out and I was in the car. It's like, let's paint the picture this morning. Very icy morning in Melbourne. You walked in. To the office.

0:32

Josh: Nice walk. Yeah, it was nice. So, it's 8:23 AM. One of the things about doing the show, changing a few things up, is trying to do it earlier in the day.

0:43

Tommy: How do you feel about— What's your state like in the morning? Because, you know, some people are like, I'm useless morning, or they just spring out of bed like a jack-in-the-box.

0:55

Josh: I'm probably in between. So, I was very annoyed by my dirty glasses. Glasses. And so when I came into the office, we had to find something that could clean the glasses. If you are a glasses wearer, you know the situation. Yeah. You want something that's going to clean it. You have a gronk mate who says, mate, just use the fucking back of your t-shirt.

1:14

Tommy: Or toilet paper. Just grab that. Or this. I offered you 4 things and you're like, nah. And I'm like, fuck, it must be specific.

1:20

Josh: Yeah.

1:20

Tommy: You may as well not ask anyone that's not— doesn't wear glasses.

1:23

Josh: Well, yeah, I don't know what I— send us an email, hi@thedailytalkshow.com. Also shout out to Charlotte in France, who sent us a lovely email. Thank you, Charlotte.

1:33

Tommy: So nice. From Nice.

1:34

Josh: Yes. If you wear glasses, how do you clean them? The thing, the rules that I have is don't use tissue like an aloe vera sort of tissue because they've all got a film on them.

1:49

Tommy: What is it like? Like an oily?

1:52

Josh: Yeah. And so you could build that up. So what I did, the compromise was that I got the glasses very hot with some water.

2:00

Tommy: Oh, yeah.

2:01

Josh: And then I used some toilet paper.

2:03

Tommy: Is that like damage control?

2:05

Josh: I don't know. I just, I don't know what it does, but it feels like maybe it builds up some sort of steam.

2:09

Tommy: Did it shit ya?

2:11

Josh: No, it's working really well now. Yeah.

2:12

Tommy: Okay, good.

2:13

Josh: And so, yeah, in the morning I'm okay. I'm actually, I'm excited that this is the start of our day.

2:20

Tommy: So, when we first started this podcast, we Got how many episodes in? 80, 90? And then you went overseas and then we were doing rotation of, because we kept it going.

2:30

Josh: It's about 110, 110 episodes.

2:31

Tommy: Okay, 110 in. And I remember being up at 5 AM recording in my car, freezing. Had to turn the heater on, but then the heater caused issues with the sound. And so it was freezing because you're in the summer.

2:47

Josh: Yeah, I had different issues. Internet on Greek islands and things. Yeah. Yeah.

2:53

Tommy: Fuck, it's a dick.

2:53

Josh: And so, how are you feeling?

2:55

Tommy: Oh, I mean, you don't realise the privilege you have until it's taken away from you. And one of those privileges for me is a drive-in garage that you just hit the button, goes up, you drive in, goes down. There's a door that takes you into your house. So, you're never having to, you know, face the elements of getting out of your car, walking to your house.

3:22

Josh: But what's changed? Because COVID's not a factor. Affecting that, is it?

3:24

Tommy: Now my fucking garage door is broken. Went out the other day, pressed it, went down, drove off, and then we got back and I'm pressing the button and it's just like, you see it just like this pathetic attempt, and it's— you can see the bottom of the door move up slightly, nothing. And I'm like, fuck this, I'm gonna get out, I'm gonna go in and have a look. And then I saw my sister-in-law and she said, uh, oh, I heard a big bang when you guys left before. And I walked in, I'm looking, and I tried to do the old, um, pull the cord which gives gives you, uh, like manual access to the door.

3:58

Josh: Those fucking cords, the amount of times I get down at our office, you hit your face, you bang it, you bang your head on it, it's fucking—

4:06

Tommy: it's always—

4:06

Josh: this is the actual use for it, you, you're using it. So what does the manual thing do?

4:10

Tommy: Does that pull it down? It releases the, uh, the, the, the automatic setting. It's just like takes it out off the gear and then you can use that sort of red— it, it almost looks like, you know, like an old-school corkscrew where you'd put the thing in your hand and the cork would come— the screw would come through your fingers and then you'd screw. Anyway, you use it and you yank it and you pull back and the door slides open. So, you got to use manual force to pull the door back open. Wouldn't open. I'm like, this is—

4:38

Josh: Even the manual setting wouldn't do it.

4:40

Tommy: And then I looked up and there's two coils that are attached to this bar that they basically, if it's, if one of them snapped like it did, it's not getting traction to be able to pull and rotate the bar to be able to let it slide up. Anyway, this thing had completely snapped.

5:00

Josh: Well, I know that the garage was a big deal when you moved in because the whole thing was you liked that you could go into the garage, close the garage, and then Bodhi could get out safely.

5:11

Tommy: Oh, it's so safe for a kid.

5:12

Josh: It's—

5:13

Tommy: And we, like, we came from a two-bedroom, tiny two-bedroom apartment in St.

5:17

Josh: Kilda, sort of, you know, inner city where you had to—

5:20

Tommy: Yeah, we had like under the apartment, it was open though. So, we had coins stolen from the car. There was a junkie that was injecting lying back onto our car at one point. Anyway, all that shit. It was hard for a kid. I dropped Bodhi once. That's a neglect by me. I was tired. No, but, and so this is—

5:39

Josh: How does a garage help with that?

5:41

Tommy: Well, it's just ease, you know. So, okay, here's the difference. Right now we're having to park on an incline that leads up into our garage that's slippery, that's annoying.

5:52

Josh: Is this the spot? So, at Bodhi's birthday party, it was quite hectic. Third birthday? Is it his second or third?

6:00

Tommy: It was his third birthday and it's his last party.

6:03

Josh: And so, it was slippery. It was right, you organised a jumping castle. It was in the back. The jumping castle just— When you think about a jumping castle, you imagine this like, you know, sprawling sort of backyard. Like, it just fucking— It felt like it was the house was built around this jumping castle. That's how tight it was.

6:20

Tommy: It was on the deck.

6:21

Josh: And But when people were leaving, the slippery surface, the little hill that people go down to leave your joint, everyone was falling over.

6:33

Tommy: Yeah, we had multiple people smash their head. One guy had his daughter in his arms. Such a lovely dude, big tall man, like 6'6", just this big beast and just slips, slips back. We had to end up putting fucking towels down and be like, guys, please. Turns out the last owner of our property, their friend has tried to sue body corporate because they flipped over. And so, obviously—

7:01

Josh: Which seems pretty rare in Australia, don't you think? To like just sort of—

7:05

Tommy: Sue job?

7:05

Josh: Yeah.

7:06

Tommy: It didn't go through. I don't think they even got close, but it obviously just points out that it is an issue and the annoyance having a child and parking because we don't want to park— The street's kind of set back a little bit from our joint. But I mean, this is just what everyone faces. And the point pointing out the privilege, it's very fucking privileged to have a driving garage where it's— Your car doesn't frost up.

7:29

Josh: Would you say, is it bougie?

7:30

Tommy: Not at all. It's a piece of shit. But it's— But at least we have like a— We have a vacuum cleaner. Remember the old school? So, it's probably a 20-year-old townhouse.

7:39

Josh: Yeah. The built-in vacuum. What's that called? Ducted vacuum?

7:44

Tommy: Ducted vacuum. They're all throughout the house. There's something about— So, there's one of those systems in the garage, which means that you can just plug it in and vacuum the car.

7:55

Josh: So— Is that a— Are they installing that in modern houses?

7:58

Tommy: I don't know. I haven't seen it because I feel like they weren't good.

8:01

Josh: The two things that I feel like at my parents' place, like their old place where I used to live, I feel like there was the, um, they had that, but they also had the, um, the aircon that we had to leave the windows open, which we've spoken about a lot on the show.

8:17

Tommy: God, it's one of those things. If you, if you have no other option but evaporative, then yeah, sure. But we— So, you need to— It's weird. This— It's like when I had my BMW.

8:30

Josh: Privilege. Actually, just kidding. So, you had a red leather seat BMW that you bought on a— With a loan.

8:39

Tommy: Oh, yeah.

8:40

Josh: It was fabulous. When you were a stripper.

8:42

Tommy: Yeah.

8:42

Josh: Yeah. And it had a DVD player. It had screens.

8:46

Tommy: It had a TV. So, when I was stopped at lights, I could watch The Simpsons on the way home.

8:50

Josh: Wait. So, it was— You were actually getting free-to-air TV.

8:53

Tommy: Yep.

8:53

Josh: It was a signal.

8:55

Tommy: I wonder if that signal would still work.

8:57

Josh: You had to have an antenna on the, I guess, just a small one.

9:00

Tommy: It was a, yeah, 328ci BMW.

9:03

Josh: Okay.

9:04

Tommy: I mean, it was quite futuristic at the time.

9:06

Josh: Yeah.

9:06

Tommy: Now it's, I actually, I sold it and I saw it later on, like probably a year or two later. But no, this dude was from the suburbs. Anyway, in that I press this button, like after probably having the car for over 6 months, and I just, and I look back and these blinds have come up out of the fucking Yeah, blinds. It was a blind that went across the back window. It was bizarre. And I was like, how the fuck did that happen? And I pressed the button again. So, I was discovering something that I had no idea about even when buying the car.

9:40

Josh: This, it's so funny that you mentioned this. This has just reminded me of a guy that, so, when I was working at FIFA and Jewels, a radio show in Australia in 2013, We did something called Suzuki Car Swap.

9:54

Tommy: Oh, that's right.

9:55

Josh: And so, the idea was that you were, you would submit your car, you'd fill out the form, you'd say where you worked, where you lived, and we would surprise one person where we would tow their car, take away their car, hide it and replace it with a brand new Suzuki Swift.

10:13

Tommy: Was there a condition that the car had to be sort of shitty?

10:16

Josh: Yeah, it was. The idea was it was a shit car. Yeah. You'd be pissed off if you had a BMW. Where the fuck's my Beamer? And what's this shit? Shit, Swift doing it.

10:26

Tommy: No.

10:26

Josh: So I, I remember in Queensland we flew to Queensland to do it for someone who worked at a flight center. Yeah. And because it's all very, you know, you need to be secretive and all that sort of thing. I only just remember there was this guy who was our driver who had— we were in a like a $400,000 car. It was like a security car and it had all the blinds and it was like fucking He would say it was like the windows were all bulletproof and we were, well, basically—

10:56

Tommy: Fifi just demanded that.

10:58

Josh: Yeah, exactly. But it was this funny thing where it's just like looking back, we really overbaked that whole thing. It didn't require that, but he loved it.

11:07

Tommy: And was telling you about the functions. Yeah, mate, as soon as I found out about that blind, I would show everyone who got in. But so having the ducted vacuum, we got Bodhi the new bed on the weekend and I took up stairs, the— you just— it's a bit annoying. You get to lug around this big fucking pipe, and the good thing is that it doesn't have a big thing on the end. You just plug it into the wall. But I got upstairs and I was thinking, okay, I'll plug this into the wall, go downstairs, I'll flick it, flick the switch on in the garage.

11:34

Josh: Is that what you had to do? I feel like it was automatic where you would—

11:38

Tommy: I had no idea it was automatic. I put it in, I put it in, and, and all of a sudden, and I'm yelling, who's turned it on? Like, it gave me a fucking fright. Who's Hey, mate, have you turned it on?

11:51

Josh: No. Anyway, is it because when you open the latch, maybe it's—

11:56

Tommy: No, the latch doesn't start. Open the latch, attach it. There's a metal— What? This is what I think it is. A metal ring around where it inserts. I think it's creating some kind of circuit, so it activates the thing downstairs.

12:09

Josh: Seems like a lot of work.

12:11

Tommy: Well, the only reason I say this, because if you open it, it doesn't start going Yeah, it's true. You open it, nothing. Insert, plastic bit with metal ring, done.

12:23

Josh: And so, was it effective?

12:24

Tommy: It's actually so good. It's that I was all about cyclonics. You know how I said that cyclonics are the future? This thing is a weapon.

12:35

Josh: Better than a Dyson?

12:37

Tommy: Well, so Dyson, very, very easy going. You know, it's like the laid-back guy that does a good job. Whereas the ducted vacuum, bit of an arty, bit picky, bit complicated, but does really great work.

12:52

Josh: Does it get tangled?

12:54

Tommy: There was a couple of times I'm yanking it and because it's so long.

12:58

Josh: I feel like I remember being like, fuck, why am I not getting any suction? You realise that fucking 10 metres down there's a kink.

13:05

Tommy: It's like a garden hose because you've got so much length, it just is going to get tangled at some point. Anyway, so there's the privilege that I've realised is Being able to just take your smoothies, your food, load up a car with a kid, take your bags when you're only having to step from your lounge room into your garage is— I'd pay $100 extra a week rent just to fucking have that. It is so nice for having— when you have a family, even not, just, it's fucking just convenient.

13:36

Josh: Do you think that having a garage though, you're more likely to store shit?

13:40

Tommy: We're actually, other than, you store rubbish. So, like we've piled—

13:45

Josh: Like landfill.

13:46

Tommy: Like Bodie's old cot. I've like, I mean, I dismantled it and have rested it up against the wall. All the rubbish, all the like cardboard from Bodie's new bed is stored in there. It's just, so you, there is a trap, but we're pretty, we came from a what was once a 1-bedroom apartment converted into a 2-bedroom to a 3-bedroom, 2-level townhouse. So, we actually don't have a great deal of shit.

14:14

Josh: No, it's good.

14:15

Tommy: It's very lucky.

14:17

Josh: I was watching the news about everything that's happening in Victoria. They haven't ruled out stage 4.

14:24

Tommy: It's on the table.

14:25

Josh: Yeah.

14:26

Tommy: Couldn't be more clear. It is on the table.

14:30

Josh: But the— So, the confusing bit I find is I want to know what the rest of the world is doing. I feel like, um, at the start of the pandemic, I could look at sort of the national level and you'd see, okay, this is what Trump is saying the US is doing and all that sort of thing. Um, you know, uh, Governor Cuomo in New York. Um, but I don't get a sense Like, do you know, like, is Los Angeles, like, what's happening in Los Angeles?

15:03

Tommy: Going back. So, this morning it's all about LA going back into lockdown.

15:09

Josh: Yeah. So, I saw California is doing, like, they're picking all of these different, like—

15:14

Tommy: Orange County.

15:15

Josh: Yeah, exactly. All these different sort of municipalities.

15:18

Tommy: Yeah, yeah.

15:18

Josh: But they're then saying, okay, you can't do this, that. It's fucking as confusing as it is here. But I would like to—

15:24

Tommy: So, you said it— that we don't really hear much from premiers. Like, they're not in the limelight usually. They're there, they're doing their job. But you've never— Like, it's— The coronavirus has made it so clear that this— It's a state. We live in a country, Australia. State by state, so different. They're like running their own show. And the US is the same. Florida are just a different kettle of fish compared to California versus Texas, North Carolina. That's where your brother is. Yeah.

15:57

Josh: Massive spike. Oh, really? Yeah.

15:58

Tommy: They're in trouble.

15:59

Josh: I'll FaceTime him after this.

16:00

Tommy: You should. But so, what are you thinking?

16:03

Josh: Well, I just would like to be across all of these things because I think that in the early days of it all, I was reading all of the stuff that was happening in the US and in Europe. Yeah. And then formulating, oh, this is what I reckon will end up happening here. I don't necessarily like, I think it's still happening. Like, think about the US, like their change on masks. Yeah. And now in Victoria, that's like a thing that's starting to happen more. Yeah. I actually asked Steph. Steph Clare-Smith has a very nice black mask. Have you seen that? No. So she's got like a very— I'll buy one. Well, this is the thing I said, because Bree's dad is a safety guy, works in the safety industry. And so he got us some masks because that's the sort of stuff that he sells. And I said to him—

16:56

Tommy: I'm surprised they're single use.

16:57

Josh: Which is— Oh, really?

16:58

Tommy: A lot of masks are single use. There's people out there that have been rocking masks for 6 weeks and they've—

17:02

Josh: Single use as in you wear it?

17:04

Tommy: You're only meant like for— I think they sell them for— You get a day out of them? The most effective use case is a session.

17:10

Josh: These like the 95, the N95?

17:14

Tommy: Yeah.

17:14

Josh: But this is the thing I said to Bray, I'm like, Yeah, whenever you get any sort of favour from a family member, it's always never completely right. Like, so for instance, I was like, you know what, I reckon, I bet you they're pretty dorky. Like, you know, when you're like, someone's doing your favor, like, then they're not going to be the real cool looking ones. Yeah, yeah. And I was asking George, actually didn't even ask George, I was like, man, I would, I like the idea of having a really cool sort of modern black one.

17:41

Tommy: Yeah.

17:41

Josh: Um, I said like, um, Steph Claire Smith. He said, oh, that's Adidas. George knew. He said, and they're out of black, they only have navy.

17:50

Tommy: Probably sold out after her.

17:51

Josh: GPs all across it. But no, I, I haven't started using the mask yet because I haven't really been close proximity. It's not like I'm not on public transport and all that sort of thing. I feel like I am a claustrophobic guy. And so I definitely, when I was at the fire brigade, in the media department, wasn't a firey. I did wear a bunch of those masks over the course of my short 1-year career.

18:23

Tommy: Because of smoke, like you're in a setting where— I mean, that makes a lot of sense. The difference is when it's not for smoke and it's not for dust or something like that. I've worn one, I made one out of a t-shirt, double layer. It feels like you're it feels like you're— say you put it on before you leave the house or whatever, it feels like you're strapping into a new reality, right? Where you're like, you see, your eyes are just like— you're just seeing stuff and you feel very— it makes you feel very inward, like—

18:53

Josh: yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

18:54

Tommy: Which is the— I feel like a bit of a bad—

18:57

Josh: like, I feel like I could be more likely to be in a fight, dude. Do you reckon?

19:00

Tommy: Well, maybe disconnected. This is the thing, you don't know who's— who could people could be naughty. Like, I saw a bunch of homeless dudes last night. Like, very surprised. This is pushing out of city suburbs into sort of like Kew, where I wouldn't normally think there's homeless people. And it was really sad. Amy bought them some up and goes and stuff, but they had masks on. And obviously, it's just trying to stay healthy, you know, in hard times. But I was like, you don't know You don't know. The thing about masks are they take away people's identity. Yeah. So, there's a sense where in the past, if you saw someone wearing a mask, as in like a bandana, you'd think, fuck, you know, this could be someone going to like, you know, the picture of someone doing something naughty is a bandana going into a shop.

19:55

Josh: Yeah.

19:55

Tommy: Whereas now that's normal, right? But it's still sort of a mindfuck because you're like, Everyone, you, when you remove people's identity, like the facial, being able to see someone's whole face, it's, there's something comforting about seeing someone's whole face because you're like, I got it, I can see that person. Whereas now when you remove things, you're like, if like, think about how scary it's like wearing a full bandana, like, yeah, balaclava, only eye holes, only mouth hole. That immediately makes you, it's not going to help you like, who's doing that?

20:25

Josh: No, but The point was saying— But who is doing that? Have you ever seen someone walking out on a cold day with a full balaclava? Have you?

20:32

Tommy: No. That's a robber.

20:35

Josh: But seriously.

20:36

Tommy: I know, it's a sucky thing, isn't it?

20:38

Josh: Isn't it funny? Sovereign Hill, which is a gold rush sort of— So, it's in Ballarat. How do you describe it? It's a casino park.

20:47

Tommy: Ballarat is a gold rush town and it was one of the booming gold rush towns in Victoria. And they've preserved this area that has a mine and it's like a step back in time.

20:58

Josh: Spirits. They've got all, you know, buildings from the 1800s. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they've got the best thing about it is the lolly shop. They have the raspberry drops.

21:08

Tommy: Yeah.

21:08

Josh: Boy, lollies. Yeah. Dad would always get me to get one of those tins with the lemon ones or whatever. Is it lemon? Fuck. Yellow.

21:15

Tommy: They've done a lot of units.

21:16

Josh: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely Father's Day. It was a big thing. You would get them. But their gift shop. Was outrageous. They had balaclavas for sale. Balaclavas and handcuffs. Because that's where I got the handcuffs where I handcuffed my uncle. Yeah. But because we went there for school camp, we actually stayed there.

21:38

Tommy: At where?

21:40

Josh: At Sovereign Hill. Really? And then you go to, you go to the school and I got really into sort of calligraphy for a while. I got the blue ink. The sort of the pen thing that you use.

21:55

Tommy: Did you see the gold being, the gold bar being melted down? Yes. Yeah, of course.

21:59

Josh: That's fucking cool. And also, the candy, like the hard lollies being stretched and they cut up. And so, they, it's like real quick.

22:09

Tommy: Yeah. Yeah, it did.

22:11

Josh: So, anyway, the stage 4, I don't actually know what it means.

22:17

Tommy: If you're going by New Zealand, Stage 4, which we've been very similar. They just went to Stage 4 instead of going 3, they just jumped, which is—

22:26

Josh: We've never been Stage 4.

22:27

Tommy: Never been Stage 4, which is a complete lockdown, which lock— which basically removes— it's like 1,000 metres proximity of your house. That's as far as you can go. And no businesses are working other than obviously supermarkets and hospitals. I don't know what it means for daycare, aged care, like aged care obviously, but daycare, school. It's, I think it's literally everyone, you fucking stay at home for 4 weeks.

22:55

Josh: Yeah. Well, because Bri brought up, so we made some nice, is it chilli con carne or chilli con carne? I'm gonna say chilli con carne.

23:01

Tommy: Okay. Yeah, sure.

23:03

Josh: Anyway, I had some chilli con carne and like Bri made a big batch on Sunday. We've been eating it. It's good. And Bree said, uh, hey, she texted me. I got home before her and she said, uh, Uber Eats probably won't make it for Stage 4. You won't be able to get Uber Eats.

23:26

Tommy: They locked it down in New Zealand.

23:28

Josh: And so what I said, I was like, surely that means I don't have to have the chilli con carne tonight and I can just get some Uber Eats. But I didn't. I had the chilli con carne and I, um, had some extra sour cream and did— fuck, best purchase, seriously.

23:45

Tommy: What?

23:46

Josh: It's a hand grater for cheese.

23:49

Tommy: What do you mean?

23:50

Josh: Imagine you go to a restaurant or whatever and they're like got the parmesan or whatever.

23:54

Tommy: Yeah.

23:54

Josh: And they just fucking— oh, it's got a stick, it's got a handle.

23:59

Tommy: Hang on, it's got a— you turn—

24:02

Josh: no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

24:03

Tommy: Oh yeah, so that's probably about a grating board. For a Parmesan grater. They're pretty standard.

24:09

Josh: But it's got a handle.

24:10

Tommy: It's— you hold it and you grate it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've got one, Parmesan grater.

24:14

Josh: They're fucking great. It's not just for Parmesan, like on a—

24:17

Tommy: What else are you grating on that?

24:19

Josh: Just your cheddar.

24:21

Tommy: Oh no, that's not Parmesan grater then. You're using— you're getting big chunks of Parmesan?

24:26

Josh: No, no, no. It's very small. It reminds me of, you know, like you go to a a Mexican restaurant and it's almost like that white cheese. It's like real—

24:36

Tommy: Oh, it's fluffy.

24:36

Josh: Fluffy. Like it's—

24:37

Tommy: How the fuck do they do that? You'd be grating cheddar on that.

24:39

Josh: Yeah.

24:40

Tommy: It works so well. Is this— It must be a hard cheddar, though.

24:44

Josh: Yes, it is.

24:44

Tommy: Okay. It has to be hard cheddar.

24:45

Josh: Cheddar is pretty hard. Yeah.

24:46

Tommy: So, then—

24:47

Josh: What's a soft cheddar?

24:49

Tommy: I don't know, but I'm just like—

24:50

Josh: There is no soft—

24:50

Tommy: It's left out of the fridge.

24:52

Josh: No, there's no soft cheddar. Okay. You're thinking of butter.

24:54

Tommy: No, I'm thinking of like a Coon cheese, like a, you know, the softer, like the— Just tasty cheese.

25:00

Josh: Tasty cheese is a hard cheese.

25:02

Tommy: You're not grating tasty cheese on a Parmesan grater. Absolutely not.

25:08

Josh: I think we're not talking about the same thing there.

25:10

Tommy: We got two graters.

25:12

Josh: Yeah. So, mine, I think that yours is big. So, big chunks.

25:17

Tommy: Nah, mine's fluffy. I get that fluffy. I get that cloud, that cloud Parmesan.

25:22

Josh: I took a photo. Let me have a look at this. So, I didn't take a photo of the actual I just took a photo of the food, but not the— yeah, this is what I had last night. Look at, look at the cheese.

25:35

Tommy: Yeah, okay, they're bigger chunks than my one. Mine goes a lot fluffier than that. So I reckon mine's— so your— that, that chunk that I reckon you're probably 2, 2, um, gauges up from mine in terms of thickness. Yeah, mine goes literally like cloud.

25:53

Josh: Yeah, well, it's awesome though because your cheese goes a lot further because like normally, like I'll just eat like a big square of cheese, like no problem.

26:03

Tommy: Yeah. You know, I'd say get some Veneto Club, Buleen.

26:08

Josh: Yes.

26:08

Tommy: They've got, they're doing their takeaway options and you can get fresh parmesan, just a big block of it.

26:14

Josh: Oh, yum.

26:14

Tommy: So good. You should get.

26:16

Josh: Actually, I feel like I could do a bit of a doomsday prep.

26:19

Tommy: Yeah, well, I mean, that's what I think people are getting— like my brother yesterday, mate, I reckon lockdown for stage 4 probably Friday. What do you mean? Oh, I've been speaking to a couple of people. Who? Oh God, you know what, used to work with him, someone from blah blah blah. Okay, it's one— this happened. The thing is, this happened before we went to stage 3 and everyone's like, no, we're locking down Wednesday, we're locking down Friday, we're locking down Monday. And it always happened, but it did happen in the end.

26:47

Josh: And so, but then there was also cases where like a couple of years ago when we heard the same storey of a terrorist attack happening in a shopping centre.

26:55

Tommy: Yeah.

26:56

Josh: And it was all bullshit. Well, it was a made-up story.

26:59

Tommy: That makes sense. But I feel like we're in a different time.

27:02

Josh: But also because it takes a while to get like, you think about it, you have to let all these different services know. So, you tell all these people and then those people tell their family like, hey, go quick, get more black beans.

27:15

Tommy: Humans just love having an in like Mate, I don't know. Look, don't say that I told you, but, you know, I've got a friend that works at Channel 9 and I know the Big Brother winner. Well, no, but it's that kind of shit.

27:28

Josh: I told you the storey of someone who was told the winner of one of those reality shows.

27:35

Tommy: Yeah.

27:36

Josh: They then, so they heard from someone, they secretly did a very big bid on Sportsbet, huge obnoxious bid. Yeah, the person was bullshitting them and they lost all their money. It's a, it's a lesson, isn't it?

27:51

Tommy: Is that gonna lose the friendship?

27:55

Josh: No, but I think that the, the person who did it, the person who put the bet on, yeah, they would have been real pissed off because they also told their parents, and so their parents got in on it too. So there was like many. So yeah, it's the family's been Yeah, a little bit. But you know, stage 4 will be interesting. It will mean that we will all go back to our homes.

28:17

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, the show continues. We're not stopping the show.

28:21

Josh: But where are you? Are you in lockdown right now? Yeah, send us an email, hi@thedailytalkshow.com.

28:26

Tommy: Florida has been called the new Wuhan.

28:29

Josh: Oh really? Yeah. By who?

28:32

Tommy: Uh, the newspaper.

28:33

Josh: Okay.

28:34

Tommy: Glenn, tell us, mate, how are you?

28:35

Josh: Yeah, how's it— I hope everyone's going well.
