Josh: The Daily Talk Show. It's The Daily Talk Show, episode 793.

0:07

Tommy: Happy Fat Friday, Gronks. What's happening? What's going on?

0:12

Josh: Uh, big plans. I've actually, uh, got, uh, George off camera, but he's, uh, on a microphone. G'day, GB.

0:18

George: Hey guys, thanks for inviting me downstairs.

0:20

Tommy: Yeah, no worries, mate. Just, uh, had to cut you off at the visual.

0:24

Josh: Uh, quick game's a good game. Yeah. And so anyway, You gave me permission to do Fat Fridays.

0:30

Tommy: Yeah, well, I don't know how I got permission just to be running Fat Fridays, but it just went that way. And it requires little effort from my mind to make it happen. And I seem to have made it happen. I was pissed because I didn't want to pay for a Fat Friday moving forward because I wanted to put it onto the producers to be able to, you know, call businesses and just, you know, foot to the pavement and making it happen. But we've had to call in the big guns.

0:55

Josh: What's GB? You haven't done that.

0:57

George: It's crept up, hasn't it?

1:00

Tommy: It was meant to be this week that we did that.

1:02

George: Yeah. Sorry about that.

1:03

Josh: And so, you were going to actually go and do the whole Fat Fridays.

1:08

Tommy: Sorry. The reason I didn't do the Fat Friday is because I was submitting for a business grant through the Victorian government.

1:15

Josh: Which will pay for our Fat Fridays.

1:17

Tommy: For money.

1:18

Josh: And so, anyway, when I asked you, hey, are you going to go do Fat Fridays? You said, yeah, I can do it.

1:24

Tommy: Yeah.

1:25

Josh: What was, what did I stipulate? Do you remember what I said?

1:29

Tommy: I can't remember. Fuck, I actually wasn't listening because I was in the middle of filling it.

1:34

Josh: No, I said something like, oh, if you get Fat Fridays, should we—

1:38

Tommy: Should we—

1:39

Josh: Should we make it our lunch? Should we make it? Should we get something? Should it be something?

1:42

Tommy: Yeah, yeah. And I said yes. Fuck, I totally removed that from my mind.

1:47

Josh: Because you were trying to work out myGov and all that sort of thing and get it all done.

1:52

Tommy: Got it all done.

1:53

Josh: Submitted it.

1:54

Tommy: Thanks for the support, VicGov.

1:56

Josh: And so anyway, I've come up with what I think is a brilliant idea. Yes. Apparently, this was also mentioned as an idea for Hump Day Replay. So, we've all already got a bit of tension with content stealing.

2:11

George: Yeah.

2:11

Josh: Yeah.

2:11

Tommy: But they didn't get around to it because they were one show away.

2:13

Josh: Exactly. And so anyway, what I have and why I need a GB.

2:19

Tommy: Yeah.

2:20

Josh: Is Cadbury are on sale at the moment.

2:23

Tommy: Cadbury. Yeah.

2:24

Josh: Cadbury chocolate. And so, what I did was I went and got one of everything.

2:30

Tommy: One of everything. Oh, my God.

2:32

Josh: One of everything from Cadbury.

2:33

Tommy: I'm so glad we did this, Grant.

2:37

Josh: And so, $27 to get basically one of every family block.

2:41

George: Wow.

2:42

Josh: Good deal, don't you think? $2.50 a block.

2:44

Tommy: $27.

2:44

George: Well, we were looking up Cadbury blocks the other day online and you can get a 50-pack for $250.

2:51

Tommy: 50-pack for $250.

2:52

George: And I was like, that doesn't seem like a good deal. It's still $5 a pack.

2:55

Tommy: How many bars?

2:56

Josh: 20. So, I got one. So, I'll tell you how many bars I got. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 bars.

3:05

Tommy: 10 bars for $2.70 a bar.

3:07

Josh: So, yes. The thing is—

3:10

Tommy: That's cheap as chips.

3:11

Josh: Well, it must have even been cheaper. $25. No, this makes sense. It's slightly more because there was one family block that I got that is not Cadbury.

3:23

Tommy: But is that not the game?

3:24

Josh: And so what— So, the game is, and why we need GB, is we are going to put our— You've got a beanie on. Yeah. I'm going to put my beanie on. I'm going to cover my eyes. GB's going to— GB, can you wash your hands quickly? Because what he's going to do is he's going to hand us two squares each. And basically, you get to pick first what you think it is.

3:52

Tommy: Right.

3:52

Josh: And then I'll pick what it is.

3:54

Tommy: So, you're assuming that I'll know every one of these 10? That's good.

3:58

Josh: And I think that you need to describe first and say, okay, this is a— Is it a milk? Is it a white chocolate? All those different things. What the flavours?

4:07

Tommy: So, you want flavour? You want the exact flavour? Um, and obviously if I think it— because you're throwing a spanner in the works, which is one that isn't Cabri, and I need to find it out of the 10.

4:19

George: I like that.

4:20

Josh: All right, so, so mainly, can you go over to your, uh, your spot? So what we're going to do is, uh, put your, um, cover your face now. Stand by, it's happening for me too.

4:33

Tommy: All right, um, so this is how I meditate sometimes. Right now the visual is, uh, beanie just pulled over my eyeline. I quite like it.

4:43

Josh: And so what's going to happen is, uh, we're going to wait for, um, I'm just going to make sure I've got on the right angle. Yeah, cool. So GB, what's going to happen is you're going to give us the 2 bits. Yeah, we're going to then taste it. You're going to walk back to your spot, and then, um, we're gonna— TJ's gonna say his, I'm gonna say mine, and then you're gonna tell us whether we're right or wrong, what the answer actually is.

5:09

George: Yeah. And so 2 bits each? Yes.

5:12

Josh: Yeah.

5:12

Tommy: You've got the slight advantage, Josh, because you bought it.

5:15

Josh: Same one? Yeah, that's why I want you to go first. Yeah, same ones.

5:17

Tommy: Okay.

5:18

George: Yeah. Okay.

5:19

Tommy: Sorry. So we're doing the same.

5:19

George: I hate opening packets of stuff under pressure.

5:21

Josh: Oh, this is fucking annoying.

5:23

Tommy: Amy can't open a packet with like ripping it.

5:28

Josh: See, without ripping it?

5:29

Tommy: No, she likes to open it properly so the actual packet doesn't rip. It's ripping on the seam where it's meant to, whereas I like to just bite it, rip it, I didn't give a shit. I'll just get it open.

5:40

Josh: And so, TJ, I want to make sure that you, um, can't see.

5:44

Tommy: I'm not a rat.

5:44

Josh: So close your eyes as well.

5:46

Tommy: I've closed my eyes.

5:46

Josh: And so we're gonna both put our hands out.

5:49

George: Okay, one sec, coming over.

5:50

Tommy: I'm really hungry. Okay, here we go.

5:53

Josh: So this is the first of 10.

5:56

Tommy: It's quite disorientating, you know, putting— yeah, like closing your eyes but still having to kind of feel it.

6:01

Josh: Okay. So I've got it in my hand.

6:03

Tommy: Okay. So just from— this is a— I'm throwing an extra one. So we're going—

6:07

Josh: Feel.

6:08

Tommy: Yeah. Feel. I reckon this is just plain before I've had it.

6:11

George: Hang on.

6:11

Josh: All right. Ready?

6:12

Tommy: Absolutely not.

6:13

Josh: I'm going to smell it. It smells like cookie. It's got a cookie, a biscuity smell. All right. I'm going to taste it and describe what you're tasting.

6:20

Tommy: I just crunched it and it's got wafer in the middle. Can you not eat like that on into the mic?

6:26

Josh: Sorry. Yeah, I know what it is.

6:30

George: All right, who's going to guess first?

6:32

Josh: It's a massive advantage, me being out, me buying them. Of course. Even though there's 10.

6:37

Tommy: I don't think that's Cadbury.

6:39

George: Wow.

6:40

Tommy: I don't think that's Cadbury. That doesn't taste like Cadbury to me. And I don't know what a crunchy bit inside, wafer-y bit inside is doing.

6:49

Josh: So I'll give you some. I reckon I know which one it is.

6:51

George: I reckon these are easy ones to start with.

6:53

Josh: So this one is an Oreo. Am I right?

6:56

George: He's got it.

6:57

Tommy: Oreo what though?

6:58

Josh: Cadbury.

6:59

Tommy: Cadbury do Oreo?

7:00

Josh: Yep.

7:01

Tommy: Never knew that. Okay, you only knew that— that does not taste like fucking Oreo at all. Okay, you only know that because you bought it.

7:09

Josh: But I bought 10, so it could have been one of 10 things.

7:12

Tommy: Okay, but I, you know, here we go.

7:13

Josh: So I've got my hand out, I'm waiting for GB.

7:15

Tommy: I've lost. Um, oh, Black Forest, I reckon, before I've even tried it.

7:20

Josh: Yeah, here we go.

7:21

Tommy: No, Fruit Nuts. Or at least a nut. Haven't tasted fruit yet. No fruit yet. Where's the fruit? I didn't get any fruit in this bit.

7:34

Josh: What do you think it is then?

7:35

Tommy: There's nut, but I—

7:36

Josh: And so if it's nut, what do you reckon?

7:39

Tommy: Hazelnut.

7:40

Josh: I'm going to go with almond.

7:42

George: Oh, JJ's got it again. Well done.

7:47

Josh: I mean, yeah, I probably would have said hazelnut too if I didn't buy them.

7:50

George: All right, do you want another one? Yeah, coming over.

7:53

Tommy: I've got none. I came in so confident. All right, here we go.

7:58

Josh: Oh, this is big. Oh, I'm gonna say Marvelous Creation straight away. Oh, hang on. No, oh no, no, I know what this is.

8:04

Tommy: Snack. Oh well, Turkish delight. Hang on, it's good that you gave us two because imagine if it was snack and I only had one flavor.

8:18

Josh: I've never had— what do you think it is?

8:19

Tommy: It's a snack.

8:21

Josh: Um, I'm only tasting Turkish Delight.

8:24

Tommy: No, I just had caramel. It's snack.

8:26

Josh: What are you saying? Turkish Delight.

8:28

Tommy: Snack.

8:29

George: TJ, you've got it.

8:29

Josh: I can't believe you got that.

8:32

Tommy: Well, I— the only reason is I think I got Turkish Delight the first flavor, but then I got a caramel for the second.

8:38

Josh: Snack is a silly one, isn't it?

8:39

George: Yeah.

8:40

Josh: Um, okay, what— where are we at now?

8:43

George: All right, sorry.

8:43

Tommy: That's, that's the third, so I'm 1 of 3. Josh, you're 2 for 2— 2 for 3.

8:51

George: Um, opening another one.

8:53

Josh: Well, really, it's hard to keep up. What are you thinking so far, TJ?

8:58

Tommy: Yeah, I like it.

8:59

Josh: Do you like the game?

9:00

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, it's—

9:01

Josh: I mean, I just—

9:02

Tommy: it is lunch. Like, this is my lunch now. I can't eat any calories. Oh, so this is one piece.

9:09

Josh: Yeah, okay, here we go.

9:09

Tommy: It's— I'm smelling, it's mint, mate. You've given me Aero. What's going on here?

9:18

Josh: Hmm, what are you locking in?

9:20

George: Aero.

9:22

Tommy: So it's not Aero.

9:24

Josh: Oh, JB's doing a fluffy— what do you think?

9:28

Tommy: I've never had that. That's pepperminty, but like the Aero-esque inside.

9:34

Josh: What are you locking in?

9:37

Tommy: Peppermint.

9:39

Josh: Yeah, I, having bought them.

9:41

Tommy: Yeah.

9:42

Josh: I reckon it's Aero.

9:43

Tommy: It's Aero?

9:44

Josh: Fuck, I got it.

9:45

George: Yeah, yeah.

9:45

Josh: So, it's the non-cad brute that's got the peppermint.

9:47

Tommy: You know what? If you didn't say that, Josh. If you didn't say, or he's fucking with you, that's a dog act.

9:53

George: What do you mean?

9:53

Tommy: You said, or he's fucking with you.

9:56

Josh: No, but I said it as in, no, he was saying.

9:58

Tommy: No, but if you knew, you said, oh, but if he's fucking with you, which is fucking—

10:02

Josh: No, because he was like Oreo. He said, what's Oreo?

10:05

Tommy: I didn't listen to that.

10:06

Josh: And I said he's fucking with you because he's like pretending like Oreos.

10:09

Tommy: You said if you came—

10:10

Josh: you said next time we'll get a fucking producer to do this and I won't have to do it. All right, here we go.

10:15

Tommy: That's marble.

10:17

Josh: Mm-hmm.

10:20

Tommy: I don't like marble. Is it marble?

10:24

George: You've got it.

10:24

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, really?

10:27

George: I'm shocked at how well you guys are going.

10:28

Tommy: Doing this blindfolded is great because it made me realise how much I don't like marble. I'm actually not eating the other piece of that.

10:34

Josh: Marble is, um, you can't find my hand, can you?

10:37

George: Um, the, uh, it's gonna be an easy one.

10:40

Tommy: Marble's no good, guys.

10:41

Josh: Marble reminds me of a, um, uh, what's it called?

10:46

Tommy: Of detention.

10:47

Josh: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, marble reminds me of, um, the Shell chocolate.

10:52

George: I—

10:53

Tommy: oh yes, it does. Okay, taste delight.

11:00

George: Yeah, easy one.

11:01

Tommy: Oh, that is good, the gooey center. Wow, that is real good. So is, um, this is a fun game to play at home for how much, $27?

11:14

Josh: Yeah, if you want, um, if you absolutely blow out. Yeah. And so one thing that I would like to know, um GB, once you're back at the mic.

11:25

George: Yeah.

11:26

Josh: Is what is the, um, what is the snack flavors? When we had the snack before, can I guess?

11:31

Tommy: It's like, uh, Turkish Delight, there's caramel, there's pineapple, and there's mint. Maybe, maybe that— no, not mint, like a peppermint, gooey peppermint, or strawberry. Strawberry. Shit, sorry, that is right.

11:43

George: How much chocolate do you eat, TJ? Because I'm— I literally just handed you those last two blocks. And straight away you said Black Forest without even—

11:52

Tommy: Yeah, I'm feeling the underneath.

11:54

Josh: That's ridiculous. It's impressive though. Um, yeah, I'm— What are you locking in, TJ?

11:58

Tommy: It's Black Forest.

11:59

Josh: Black Forest.

11:59

Tommy: Not my proudest moment. When I was young—

12:03

Josh: Is this because of Amy? Amy smashes the—

12:06

Tommy: She loves Black Forest. I ate this, like, some of this last night, so I'm not gonna lie. But when I was young and used to, um, smoke marijuana, we used to go through the whole Capri range.

12:18

Josh: And really, so you used to play this game?

12:20

Tommy: No, we used to get it and just eat.

12:24

Josh: How many are we up to here, GB? What's this? There's 2 more after this. Okay, here we go. So these are bigger pieces.

12:31

Tommy: This is, this is marvelous. This is marvelous.

12:35

Josh: Marvelous.

12:36

George: That is so impressive.

12:37

Tommy: I don't even need it. Like the—

12:38

George: You've got it.

12:40

Tommy: Oh wow.

12:41

George: What, can you guess which marvellous it is?

12:43

Tommy: That's a popping rock candy one.

12:46

Josh: Popping, popping.

12:49

George: Two more, guys.

12:51

Tommy: It is one of my sort of favorites, which I don't actually buy, is the Marvelous Creations one. Wow, still popping.

13:00

George: I reckon you've probably gone through close to a block each already.

13:03

Josh: Can you hear the popping?

13:05

George: Do you like that feeling?

13:07

Josh: Yeah, I don't know if I do. Is this good audio or good video? Is this good for anyone? Yeah, hi@thedailytalkshow.com, is this good?

13:16

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, but this is Fat Fridays, this is what we do, we just indulge in the food we want on a Friday.

13:23

Josh: Here we go. All right, so—

13:25

Tommy: ah, that's plain, just milk chocolate, not a fan. Um, I mean, milk chocolate is the base of all the ones we've had, but just by itself, really? You're, you're the vanilla guy, are you locking it in? Yes, it's, it's, um, it's the milk chocolate one.

13:46

Josh: Um, I don't think I bought milk chocolate, and so milk chocolate— I am going to lock—

13:53

George: have another guess, TJ, because you're very close.

13:55

Tommy: Hazelnut.

13:57

Josh: What?

13:57

George: No, no.

14:01

Tommy: Is this like when you wine taste and just everything tastes like—

14:04

Josh: yeah, just tastes synthetic now.

14:08

George: Think about it.

14:11

Tommy: Okay.

14:11

Josh: All right, I'm happy for you to have a glass of water and then have another piece. Would you like to? Would you like to phone a friend? Would you like that privilege?

14:20

Tommy: I'm trying to work it out.

14:22

Josh: We can just have another— do you need another piece?

14:24

Tommy: Give me one more piece.

14:25

George: Okay.

14:26

Tommy: It is funny, so when you get drunk or if you've, um, been in a place like Los Angeles where you're allowed to smoke marijuana and you've smoked marijuana and you've eaten so much chocolate, as soon as the chocolate hits your mouth, it just tastes like sugar.

14:40

Josh: Yeah, my face is stinging.

14:43

Tommy: That's where I'm at right now, and I've had no substance.

14:46

Josh: Alright, what are you thinking?

14:48

George: Okay.

14:48

Josh: Really, just describe the flavour. Deconstruct it.

14:53

Tommy: It's milk chocolate, you dogs. You're trying to trick me.

14:58

George: No, I can tell you it's not.

15:01

Tommy: Hazelnut? I don't know.

15:02

Josh: Are you noticing different levels of flavour?

15:04

Tommy: No, because I just taste sugar. It's a Topdeck.

15:07

Josh: Isn't it? Oh yes, Topdeck.

15:09

Tommy: That's interesting that I— I like— I'm proud that I didn't get that because I fucking hate Topdeck. And if I got it—

15:17

George: All right, coming over with the last one, guys.

15:19

Josh: Okay, here we go.

15:21

Tommy: No difference in that flavour at this point. 9 deep, now we're at 10. Is this 10? This is the 10th chocolate.

15:29

George: I guess so. Should be an easy one.

15:32

Tommy: White chocolate. Oh, hang on.

15:38

George: Caramilk.

15:40

Tommy: I'm locking in Caramilk.

15:41

George: Caramilk. He's got it.

15:43

Tommy: Wow, it is real when you cannot see— I can take them off. Yeah, when you cannot see the chocolate, it does mess with your head. Yeah, Marble, no good.

15:54

George: What's your favorite?

15:56

Josh: Uh, probably the, um, run us through what were they.

16:01

George: Turkish Delight. I'm not a huge fan of Turkish Delight in general.

16:04

Tommy: We didn't get you down here to tell us.

16:05

George: Snack. Marble, Oreo, Aero mint.

16:12

Josh: Aero was weird. Can I just say Aero didn't have the fluffiness that I expected?

16:16

Tommy: That's why I thought it could have been a Cadbury one.

16:18

Josh: Because it's a lighter— How many grammes is it?

16:25

Tommy: Plus you got something on your nose too.

16:27

Josh: My glasses are dirty.

16:27

George: Oh, it's chocolate. 118.

16:30

Josh: 118. And what's a normal standard block?

16:33

George: A normal car, uh, Cadbury is 180.

16:38

Josh: And so what's aero?

16:39

George: 118.

16:40

Josh: Yeah, because you're paying for air. I'm serious, I'm dead serious. And so, um, what have we learned?

16:45

Tommy: And so, um, my favourite out of all of them, it is what, what you learn is You don't do this if you were just wanting to enjoy chocolate at the flavour level, because by the time you've had it all, you're over it. Your mouth, your taste buds have given up.

17:05

Josh: I'm going to say that I loved the Marble.

17:10

George: Oh, you can take that one home.

17:11

Tommy: I don't know how you— I mean, it's pretty good that you could even tell the difference at that point.

17:17

Josh: Marble, definitely. Yeah, no, there's not Topdeck, Marble.

17:21

Tommy: Oh, sorry, marble. Oh, that's disgusting.

17:25

Josh: Marble is like a shell.

17:26

Tommy: He— uh, Heath Davidson said that he didn't like the marble either.

17:29

Josh: Heath's not right about everything.

17:31

Tommy: Well, he's an Olympian, bitch.

17:34

Josh: Okay, so there's a fair bit. And so, um, no, yeah, so my favorite, I think, um, was the marvelous—

17:43

Tommy: actually, no, I'm gonna say what's on my mind. When I bit into the The gooey Turkish Delight one. I just, I like that. I like what it did in my mouth.

17:52

Josh: Well, you like Marble?

17:53

George: I love Marble.

17:54

Josh: Yeah, it's back. You're back.

17:54

George: Yeah. Yeah. I like Hazelnut.

17:56

Josh: And so Hazelnut was good. Yeah. Like if you had to take home a block now, not thinking about Amy, what would you get?

18:04

Tommy: The Marvellous.

18:05

George: Marvellous?

18:05

Tommy: Yeah. Marvellous Creations. And that Oreo one. What, dude? Well, show me the packet of that. Show me that. When have they, when did they bring out that? That is a dud.

18:14

Josh: So Oreo looks like, um, like what tastes like that they've taken the biscuits that have fallen on the ground at the factory.

18:22

Tommy: No, at the point, no, it tasted like it was a wafer inside of it.

18:26

Josh: Yeah.

18:26

Tommy: Can you look? Is that wafer inside?

18:28

George: Look. Well, it's part of it.

18:29

Tommy: I guess you have a look inside. Have a look inside.

18:30

George: It's part of the biscuit. Yeah.

18:32

Tommy: Can you throw that to me? That whole thing? Here we go. Thank you. Thank you.

18:35

George: Thank you.

18:36

Tommy: Got me in the chest.

18:36

Josh: Yeah. It's just showing.

18:37

Tommy: Oh, okay.

18:37

George: Yeah.

18:37

Tommy: It's got like white chocolate inside of it.

18:41

Josh: And so even the creamy stuff is hard.

18:43

Tommy: Yeah. Yeah.

18:45

George: Yeah. Yeah.

18:46

Josh: How do we feel after that?

18:47

Tommy: Good game, dude.

18:47

Josh: Did you enjoy it?

18:48

Tommy: I don't feel sick because I actually just had a piece of each. I've still got bits on my—

18:52

Josh: Now I feel like I need something savoury.

18:54

George: I know.

18:54

Tommy: You remember when you blew up because I brought something? I brought cereal, which was sweet. But I don't like sweet. You just don't like cereal and you were hungry. I see. But I see how on this side, when you're not organising it, Yeah, how you can almost fall into blowing up, because I could have blown up then, but I like the game. I like the game.

19:14

Josh: Are we gonna finish?

19:15

George: 10 open packets.

19:17

Josh: All right, before we, before we go, it's been a short episode, mate.

19:21

Tommy: Is that all we're doing?

19:22

Josh: Just about. I just want to ask you, GB, how are you going with Hump Day Replay?

19:26

George: Loving it, so much fun.

19:27

Josh: Yeah, um, any learnings?

19:30

George: Yeah, plenty.

19:31

Josh: Um, name them.

19:32

Tommy: Now's the time.

19:34

George: Well, it's a lot of pre-production and thinking and planning and it's just stretching a different creative muscle, I guess. Yeah. But it's good fun. I'm learning heaps, learning about how to talk to people. Still not very good, but, you know.

19:51

Josh: What's been your favourite bit?

19:54

George: Of the 3 episodes or?

19:55

Josh: Just of the whole process.

19:57

George: Probably. I mean. I like editing them. I like finding the funny bits and going through the archives, thinking of ways to link it back to the guest. And my favourite bit is probably just people listening.

20:18

Josh: Oh, that's cool.

20:19

George: Yeah.

20:19

Josh: He was looking at his stats this morning.

20:21

George: Was he?

20:21

Tommy: He's a young Josh Jansen.

20:23

Josh: Yeah. He was really getting into it. He's just trying to— Have you got all social posts? I mean, you are I feel like Hump Day Replay is getting better social content than the Daily Talk Show.

20:33

George: Absolutely. Yeah, we're putting more effort in.

20:38

Tommy: But as Josh Janson says, it's the IKEA effect.

20:41

George: Yeah.

20:42

Tommy: Do you know what that means?

20:43

George: Oh, because it's yours, you value it more.

20:45

Tommy: Yeah, it's exactly what I definitely— with anything anyone ever does.

20:49

Josh: There's nothing wrong with it. I get it.

20:50

Tommy: Yeah.

20:51

Josh: It's a little annoying for us because IKEA effect, we think this is the best thing ever.

20:54

George: Well, I think we love time as well. Like, You guys are doing 7 episodes a week. It's hard to spend 2 hours editing a snippet.

21:02

Josh: Sure.

21:03

Tommy: Well, if you're doing one show a week, there should be at least 4 solid— not for you because you're helping with the other shit. But if you just— if we just had one show, you'd want to do a lot. I would hold a much higher standard to the amount we put out.

21:15

Josh: It'd be very stressful, though, because you'd be working out what you're doing and—

21:19

George: Yeah.

21:19

Tommy: And then you don't have any new content.

21:21

Josh: So, what's some other Fat Fridays? So, in a week's time, George will have it all sorted. But it's episode 800. Is that right?

21:29

George: So, it's— Yeah, next Friday.

21:30

Josh: 693, 694, 695.

21:32

Tommy: Yeah.

21:33

Josh: And so, what are we going to do?

21:35

George: Geez, that has crept up.

21:37

Josh: It has. Well, we were talking about doing, like Jess had been talking about caravans. She'd been talking about drive-ins. Yeah. A lot of ideas.

21:47

Tommy: Lots of stuff that required the state not being locked down. And so, I wonder if by next Friday we'll be in total lockdown.

21:57

George: It's a bit of an anticlimax, isn't it?

21:59

Josh: Yeah. Well, I think we could do something good for Fat Fridays. What is it like? Is it doing a look back? You know, nostalgic, like, I wonder, 800, what does 800 mean? Like, what's some— Let's come up with some ideas.

22:13

Tommy: Right now?

22:14

George: Yeah.

22:14

Tommy: You want ideas right now? We could— try 800 different meals.

22:24

Josh: What about 800 calories each? Oh, yeah.

22:27

Tommy: Oh, that's a good idea. That's all you get.

22:29

Josh: That's not my— I just had 4,000. Now, what about— I would love for us to do—

22:36

George: Microwave food for 800 seconds.

22:38

Josh: That's good.

22:39

George: That's good.

22:40

Tommy: I heard someone today talking about 3-ingredient recipes, 8-ingredient recipes.

22:47

Josh: What about 800 grammes of mincemeat?

22:51

Tommy: Oh, what about, um, 800— we have to weigh. That's really boring, just weighing your food. You can only have 800 grammes of anything.

22:59

Josh: That's a lot though. 800 grammes of Froyo?

23:02

Tommy: Maybe we— yeah, that'd be—

23:03

Josh: yeah, what were you thinking?

23:04

George: Oh, 800 grammes steak. Oh, that's a lot.

23:08

Tommy: I haven't had a steak in so long, dude.

23:11

Josh: Man, I look tired from closing my eyes.

23:13

Tommy: I haven't been to a restaurant and had a steak in forever.

23:17

Josh: Is Hog's Breath open at the moment?

23:18

Tommy: Nothing's open. Is it? No, no restaurants in Melbourne.

23:22

Josh: Could we get a steak delivered?

23:25

Tommy: Yeah, I'm sure we could get steak delivered.

23:28

Josh: Yeah, I mean, for the guy who doesn't spend any more—

23:30

Tommy: spend $800.

23:32

Josh: Yeah, I'm gonna shut that down. I don't want you to know.

23:35

Tommy: What about, can we get $800 $800 worth of free food. Of free food. Oh, that's a great idea. That's what you guys have to do because it's not my problem anymore. I've organised too many Fat Fridays and we got producers.

23:46

Josh: So the biggest sponsored, uh, so we, it's almost, okay.

23:52

Tommy: I want $800 worth of food in here for episode 800, and it's the challenge that you guys as the producers who have been set the task of get it for free You work it out. If you have to dip into your own funds, don't tell me about it.

24:08

George: But then Paris said, Paris said absolutely not. What? She said producers never pay for food. The talent's always richer. That was the advice.

24:16

Josh: Welcome to 2020. This is a podcast. Yeah, you're talent now, aren't you? Are you buying everyone coffees as you walk in?

24:25

George: I probably should actually. That's a good one. Probably should be doing that.

24:27

Josh: And so No, I like that idea.

24:30

Tommy: $800 worth of food. Consult with producer Jess, Mr. 97.

24:35

Josh: And we can have all of their logos on the screen and stuff. So whoever does provide food, I don't want to say any names, but maybe I will be checking the temperature in the room. I like that.

24:48

George: Cath.

24:49

Josh: Yeah.

24:50

George: Hey, $800 is a lot of food.

24:54

Tommy: Yeah, that's the point, bro.

24:55

George: How many people are there? 5.

24:57

Tommy: 5. And then we have partners. We've all got partners. Oh, yeah. Jess lives with her sister. Mason lives with his whole family. So, they can take food. Like, we can take food. It's not about— I just want to see a spread.

25:09

Josh: So, what could it look like? So, you could spend $100 on—

25:14

Tommy: Mate, you could spend $100 and get just like—

25:17

George: We should have an alcohol budget.

25:18

Tommy: 5, 6 burgers.

25:19

Josh: Oh, yeah.

25:19

Tommy: You can do expensive alcohol.

25:20

George: Okay.

25:20

Tommy: $500 of it can be alcohol. I said that and I thought, that's crazy. I even thought how fucking crazy that was.

25:31

Josh: Maybe, like, truffle, stuff with truffle.

25:33

Tommy: Oh, yeah. You could go real expensive. You could get something that's like $400 and it's just one item.

25:41

Josh: Is it a little bit, is it, not to shut it down, but is it a little bit distasteful at the moment with like everyone struggling and shit fucking counting their cash? I guess we're getting it for free.

25:52

Tommy: Absolutely not. We're getting it for free and then we're going to pass it on. It will feed my— Mate, George is earning more money than us.

25:58

Josh: I feel like you've just added the passing on bit, though. Like, I will pass it around.

26:02

Tommy: No, pass it on to— As in, I'm the tight-ass that's going to take a heap home and feed my family for a few weeks. And George has housemates.

26:11

Josh: What about something? What? Okay. What about if we can get— If we can get a food delivery, where I'd feel better about it is if we can get a food delivery company on board.

26:20

Tommy: Yeah.

26:21

Josh: And then we're getting all local places from there. But the food delivery company is footing the bill because I just don't feel good about fucking the little pizza shop around the corner giving us free. No, no, no.

26:35

Tommy: I mean, it's multiple places.

26:36

Josh: Yeah. But so, but what I reckon, what do you think? If we can get one delivery.

26:40

Tommy: Yeah. But we also have a lot of people who watch this show and listen to this show.

26:44

Josh: Or maybe we could get—

26:45

Tommy: You're just an asshole, walk in and say, I want free food and You're getting nothing.

26:49

Josh: Because we have influence, you're saying?

26:50

George: Maybe.

26:51

Tommy: I don't know. That's how we snagged George with that.

26:55

George: With our influence.

26:56

Tommy: No, but I like that.

26:58

Josh: You could get a delivery partner.

26:59

Tommy: Yep. And then.

27:01

Josh: And so if we are all in lockdown, it means that maybe we're getting different things delivered.

27:06

George: Yeah.

27:06

Josh: It's a bit like it's the.

27:07

Tommy: We'll face that. I mean, that's, you know what, to be honest, we've given them the idea. This is what the producers need to deal with. That's what they have to deal with. What happens if we're in lockdown.

27:17

Josh: I agree. So, any feedback? How are you feeling working upstairs?

27:21

George: I love it. It's great. It's, um, it's so much fun being up there.

27:25

Josh: Have you got stuff for weekend banter for tomorrow and Sunday?

27:28

George: Um, yeah, I got time to think, don't I? What do you think?

27:32

Josh: Well, like, what are you going to bring? Because we— you're not in the show Monday to Friday now. This is a bit of an exception. Thank you for the Cadbury work. Have you thought about how you can really make weekend banter, you know?

27:47

George: I got an idea.

27:48

Josh: You got an idea?

27:49

George: Yeah.

27:50

Josh: Does it require anything from us?

27:52

George: Nah, not right now.

27:53

Josh: Okay. It might surprise—

27:55

George: Yeah, potentially it could be something to talk about on Sunday. That's what I'm feeling.

28:01

Josh: It's exciting. So, how'd your nan feel about being on the Hump Day Replay?

28:07

George: I got to send it to her. I think I've started having actually like my cousins and stuff following.

28:12

Josh: That's great. The Instagram account because they're the ones that got dressed up for the family reunion.

28:17

George: Different ones. But I, because I sent the snippet to Dad and I guess he sent it around to everyone. So now, you know, getting, I got like 3 new followers yesterday. Mate, that's great. Auntie.

28:32

Josh: Congratulations. That's huge.

28:34
